Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the whole army to follow him to kill the gate of Liangzhou that he had in mind - Sanguan.

But Dong Zhuo forgot that he didn't just want to leave now. Because Zhang Xiu and Zhiyuan's many departments are still fighting with Dong Zhuo's department, it is difficult to distinguish between them. After the Flying Bear Army withdrew, Ju Yi also hurriedly led the leading Dengshi to catch up, and attacked Dong Zhuo's division on the left flank of the official army with Zhang Xiu and Zhiyuan's many Xiliang Iron Cavalry. This made Dong Zhuo a lot of constraints and difficult to transfer.

At the same time, Ma Chao, who was attacking the large phalanx commanded by Huangfu Song, saw that the large phalanx of the Chinese army had been broken, and the reserves could not come to the rescue, and the defeat of the Chinese army of the official army was decided.

Ma Chao was worried about Duan Xuan's troops, who were using a foot formation to resist the 7,000 enemy cavalry, so he ordered Pang De to lead his troops to withdraw from the large phalanx that had long been broken and go to support Duan Xuan.

He also thought that he only gave Zhang Xiu, Zhi Yuanduo, and Ju Yi 5,800 men to attack the left flank of the official army, which was four times his size. So he personally led his troops to withdraw from the large phalanx and went to support Zhang Xiu and the others.

At this moment, Dong Zhuobu shook off the entanglement of Zhang Xiu, Zhi Yuanduo, and Ju Yi, and fled after the battlefield.

Ma Chao relaxed a lot, and his heart was full of disdain for Dong Zhuo who escaped from the battle. Ma Chao was about to order his troops to turn around and continue to attack the enemy's central phalanx. Suddenly, Ma Chao thought of a terrible possibility: Sanguan was unmanned, and it was only two hours away from the street pavilion at most.

Dong Zhuo retreated backwards, not to escape from the battle, but to kill the unguarded Sanguan. As long as it takes two hours, Dong Zhuo can kick open the south gate of Liangzhou and break into Liangzhou! And the entire army of the Western Liang Army is on the battlefield, and there is not a single soldier stationed in Liangzhou at all!

Ma Chao gasped and led his troops to quickly chase after Dong Zhuobu, who was already approaching the horizon. Afraid that there were too few people to stop Dong Zhuo's department, Ma Chao simply ordered that all the cavalry follow him to hunt down Dong Zhuo's department, except for the Pang De department who supported Duan Xuan's department; All the foot soldiers retreated back and into the large camp. In order to ensure the safety of the foot soldiers, Ma Chao also sent a message to Ma Teng, who was sitting in the camp, asking him to lead the 4,000 horsemen guarding the camp to escort the foot soldiers to retreat into the camp safely.

This change immediately changed the situation of the entire battlefield. Ma Dai and Yan Xing withdrew from the festering Chinese army and, together with Ma Chao, pursued Dong Zhuo's army;

The Pang De Department cooperated with the Duan Xuan Department to repel the Yuan Xuan Division, and the Duan Xuan Department was responsible for garrisoning Sanguan, so he rode on his horse again, and together with the Pang De Department, he also joined the team pursuing Dong Zhuo's Department;

Zhang Ji and Yi Jianji, who had been surrounding the Zhou Shen Department on the right wing of the official army, also hurriedly killed in the direction of Sanguan, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu's two foot soldiers, slowly retreated, and retreated to the camp under the escort of the Ma Teng Department.

And here in the official army, the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, and the surviving soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were all slow foot soldiers, so Huangfu Song was unable to pursue the withdrawn Xiliang army.

Yuan Peng's cavalry lost half, and then went to pursue tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, just looking for death; Zhou Shen's cavalry still had physical strength and sufficient troops, but they were deeply encircled, not to mention heavy losses, their morale had decreased by more than half, and they did not dare to provoke the Xiliang army again.

Seeing that the plan to tune the tiger away from the mountain worked, Huangfu Song finally couldn't support it, and fell to the ground.

"Ride the bike!" Bao Hong hurriedly helped Huangfu Song up.

Bao Hong said happily: "Thanks to the strategy of the chariot and cavalry to divert the tiger from the mountain, the Xiliang iron cavalry was lured away, and the Xiliang infantry also returned to the camp, and our army was finally saved!" And he can also let Dong Zhuo, who has always been domineering, become the target of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, taste the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and frustrate his sharpness! Even if we can't let him be defeated, we can let him take Sanguan, and our army will be able to attack Liangzhou! ”

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Dong Zhuobu won't be able to take the Sanguan." ”

Bao Hongyi hesitated and said, "Didn't Fang Cai say that Dong Zhuo is likely to capture Sanguan?" ”

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "It was Jin Ma Chao who pursued him. Jin Ma Chao will not let him get his wish. Jin Ma Chao must catch up with Dong Zhuobu and defeat him. Then, he led his army back and attacked us. ”

"Then, what should I do when I ride the car?"

Huangfu Song thought for a moment and said, "While Jinmachao has not returned yet, our army will quickly retreat to Yixian. ”

"Keyi County is three hundred miles away from Jieting. The camp of our army is a few miles behind, and Chencang City is fifty miles behind our army. Why should cyclists go far and near? ”

Huangfu Song patiently explained: "First, the morale of our army has plummeted, and there have been heavy casualties, and if we enter the camp to defend, we will inevitably be unable to stop the attack of the Xiliang army, so we must hide in a stronger city in order to protect our army."

Second, it is true that Chencang City is only fifty miles away from here, but the veterans of our army are tired, and the surviving soldiers are all injured, and they are mainly foot soldiers.

Third, if Jin Ma Chao turns back, he will definitely think of it with you, thinking that the old man must lead the army to flee to Chen Cangcheng. So he will wait on the way for our troops to withdraw to Chencang City. However, our army was unexpected, and when he retreated to Yixian, which he would never have imagined, he could not intercept our army.

Therefore, if our army wants to preserve its vital strength, it must not retreat to Chencang, let alone to Daying, but should retreat to Yixian. ”

Bao Hong said: "What the chariot said makes sense, but once Jin Ma Chao goes close to Chencang City, where the defenders are scarce, he will find that our army has not withdrawn to Chencang City." Then he will definitely find out that our army is actually fleeing to Yixian. And the distance to Yixian is more than 300 miles, what if our army is pursued by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the way? ”

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "No." There are two million stone military rations supported by the Sanfu family in Chencang City, and there are hundreds of thousands of military rations and countless baggage weapons in our army's camp. Ma Teng Ma Chao's father and son have been suffering from the lack of grain in Liangzhou, and they have obtained a full 2 million hundreds of thousands of stone grains, and they must be overjoyed, and they can't wait to transport these grains back to the hinterland of Liangzhou, and they will have no time to pursue our army that is fleeing back to Yixian. ”

Bao Hong was impressed by this delicate calculation, but said: "But in this way, our army will have to throw away so much military rations, and we will also give up Chen Cangcheng and the big battalion." ”

Huangfu Song said angrily: "When is it?" Is it time to be stingy with the city's grain? If you are not willing to give up the food in the city, then our soldiers will be caught up by Jinmachao and create another fiasco! When the time comes, everyone is dead, who will come to garrison other cities other than Chencang City? Who will eat the rest of the grain? Who will come to confront the fierce Xiliang army? ”

Seeing that Huangfu Song was angry, Bao Hong hurriedly pleaded guilty, saying: "It's the last general who lost his word, and asked the car to ride for forgiveness." ”

Huangfu Song closed his eyes and said, "Okay, the old man is tired, you go and command all the remaining troops, collect all the war horses that can be used, discard the extra weapons and armor, immediately take a shortcut, and escape to Yixian!" ”

"Yes, the last general will go!"
