Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 227 An ambush appears
"Your Majesty, in one day we will enter Tongguan, and the last general has already asked people to go to Tongguan to guard Xu Huang to prepare grain and grass earlier, and then welcome us into Tongguan...
A few days later, Jia Xu had already received the last of the rear army to the ferry, completely preventing anyone from wanting to attack it halfway.
On the other hand, Liu Xie also successfully approached Tongguan.
When the army came to a place more than 100 miles outside Tongguan, everyone's hearts couldn't help but relax.
In their opinion, even if they encounter someone's surprise attack now, as long as they hold on for a moment and light the wolf smoke.
Then General Xu Huang of Natongguan will know immediately.
In two days at most, they will receive assistance from Tongguan, and even if the other party is prepared, they can hold on. . .
In this case, how can the soldiers not understand these truths, so it is inevitable that there will be some relaxation in the hearts of these people.
And that Ma Chao is even more so, a man from Yongliang, he returned with a big victory, and his personal bravery is now quite popular in Bingzhou.
With this posture, he has met the characteristics of all arrogant soldiers.
And this scene naturally fell into Liu Xie's eyes, and at the same time, Liu Xie understood this truth.
He knew that if he followed Jia Xu's plan and guess, the next moment...
"Shoot!"
This sound appeared just right, and with this roar, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared from both sides of the road, and then rushed towards the Han army.
At the same time, a general who looked quite majestic also rode out on his horse, wielding a spear in his hand, and constantly commanding the soldiers to encircle and suppress the Han army.
"Get out!"
In the face of the ambush, although Ma Chao was a little shocked, he did not have any panic, perhaps deep down in his heart, he did not think about this possibility.
"Don't panic, the forbidden army is all gathered to protect Your Majesty!"
"Elk Wei, Hao Zhao, you are responsible for commanding the forbidden army and protecting Your Majesty!"
"Dong Chong, take your people and rush out with General Ben!"
Although Ma Chao is quite proud now, it is undeniable that he is a very good general, and he immediately made the most correct decision after a short period of chaos.
The soldiers and horses were divided into two, and the Yongliang Iron Cavalry gathered directly around Ma Chao under the leadership of Dong Chong, and then held shields and spears under the leadership of Ma Chao.
Just like that, he rushed towards the incoming enemy.
Ma Chao took the lead and directly wielded a spear to kill the enemy one after another, and his ability was quite good!
On the other side, a large number of forbidden troops gathered directly around Elwee, who was one of the original commanders of Liu Xie's side.
His prestige among the forbidden army is needless to say.
The short order made the whole army unified, and then Liu Xie was protected, and with Hao Zhao's assistance, he was very strict.
I don't dare to say that there is no leakage, but with the excellent armor and blades of the forbidden army, as well as their elite skills.
Soon the attacker was repulsed, and at the same time, one shield was used to protect the army outside, and the other was to protect Liu Xie.
Make sure he won't be accidentally injured by the rain of arrows...
The spears were lined up, piercing straight through the gaps in the shield, and then striding forward, looking for a precipitous place to rely on for a temporary defense...
In this situation, although the Han army under Liu Xie was ambushed, there was really no major problem, and it was even more foolish to be defeated.
And this is also the reason why Ma Chao dared to almost make a military order with Liu Xie.
After the battle of merging states, Ma Chao already had a general understanding of the strength of the enemy and the soldiers and horses under his command.
Yu Linwei, the forbidden army under Liu Xie, although he didn't dare to say that it was unparalleled in the world, he was able to hold out for so long during the siege.
This is definitely an elite among all the soldiers and horses in the world!
With such elite on his side, and his battle-hardened cavalry, he was more than enough to deal with any danger that might arise.
Like now!
Just half an hour later, on a hill that was only a few dozen miles away from Tongguan, three wolf smoke suddenly rose.
Then with the appearance of wolf smoke, the Han army also knew that this would soon be known by the army in the rear and the Tongguan defenders in front.
All that's left is for them to hold on and wait for help to come...
On the other side, Ma Chao finally broke through the enemy's formation, and then rushed straight towards the enemy general.
"Little thief, how dare you do such a thing as assassinating the king!"
With Ma Chao's roar, the enemy commander couldn't help but shudder, but looking at Ma Chao who rushed over, he still saluted the other party directly.
"I am Hou Cheng, an old general under Lu Fengxian! I have been commanded to fetch it today... ”
"Puff~"
Hou Cheng, the general under Lu Bu's command, didn't even finish his words this time, but was directly pierced through his chest by a flying spear that suddenly rushed over.
The huge force even carried him directly into the air, and by the way, it was also nailed to the body of a soldier behind him.
At this time, looking at the dead Hou Cheng, Ma Chao, who threw out the flying spear, couldn't help but sneer at the corpse of Hou Cheng.
"Something... Was this the kind of thing under Lu Fengxian back then? ”
With this sneer, Dong Chong also rushed over with the other Yongliang cavalry.
If nothing else, then they will directly defeat these guys before the reinforcements arrive, and then escort Liu Xie to continue to advance.
But, if nothing else, then there will be an accident.
"All the soldiers obey the order... Offensive! ”
Just as Ma Chao killed Na Hou Cheng and was about to expand the results of the battle, another roar also appeared on the other side of the battlefield.
And an infantry team wearing multiple armor appeared on Ma Chao's flank, and quickly rushed towards his flank.
And beside this army of soldiers and horses, there is another army of soldiers and horses, and the posture of the army seems to be an elite.
It's just that such an elite is not rushing to kill, but guarding...
Guarding the more elite soldiers and horses that had just appeared.
When Ma Chao fixed his eyes, he saw the dark banner, and the halberds in the hands of those soldiers were three points longer than the ordinary halberd.
His brows couldn't help but frown a little, and his face instantly became serious.
Ma Chao, who had just experienced the battle of Bingzhou, fought with Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and fought with those Wuhuan people, of course, also knew some things.
For example, the soldiers and horses in front of you...
"Euphorbia!"
