When Huangfu Song and Bao Hong were discussing the escape route, Ma Chao led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and chased after Dong Zhuo's department. But because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had been fighting for several hours, the horses and soldiers were very tired, so they let Dong Zhuo escape farther.

Ma Chao sees that it is not a way to go on like this. Remembering that he had already defeated Cheng Gongying in that battle, he ordered the whole army to gather all the soldiers on fast horses to him, and soon got more than 1,000 flying horses.

Ma Chao originally wanted to lead this thousand flying horses to catch up with Dong Zhuo's department first, and then fight with it, so as to buy time for the main force of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to catch up. As long as Dong Zhuobu is caught up, then a fiasco will be inevitable. But after having the lessons of the Ayang Meeting, this time, no matter what you say, the generals are not allowed to let Ma Chao, the main general, take risks again.

Ma Chao had no choice, so he ordered Pang De to go. Pang De led the flying cavalry, and sure enough, the speed was much faster than the other iron cavalry, and he took the lead in chasing Dong Zhuo's department.

And Dong Zhuo, who was running in front, had been being pursued by the rank and tail of Xiliang, and his heart was getting more and more panicked. Seeing that he had run for more than 70 miles, he still couldn't shake off the Xiliang Iron Ride and opened a long distance. At this time, Dong Zhuo understood that he might not be able to take the pass.

So, Dong Zhuo hurriedly ordered that the troops no longer chase after Sanguan, but flee towards the nearest city in the northeast, Yixian.

Soon, Pang De led more than 1,000 flying horses to quickly approach, and Dong Zhuo could see the smoke and dust stirred up by Pang De's department as soon as he turned around.

Dong Zhuo, who was well versed in cavalry warfare, knew that Jin Ma Chao must have planned to send the fastest light cavalry first, catch up with him and then dogfight, and buy time for the main force to catch up. Once you really let that flying horse catch up and get grappled here, that's the end of it.

Dong Zhuo was terrified, and Li Ru, who was riding a horse parallel to Dong Zhuo, also discovered this, pointed his hand ahead, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, look at the manor dock fort of a family in front of you." We can take refuge in the dock for a while and hold on. ”

Dong Zhuo hesitated and said: "Wubao is not comparable to the city after all, as long as the Xiliang army is willing to pay for casualties, it is easy to break through Wubao." ”

Li Ru said: "Never." The Xiliang Iron Cavalry fought with the official army for several hours, and even if they had more physical strength, they would have been exhausted long ago. Jin Ma Chao has always been known for being stingy with his soldiers, and he will never attack the Dock Fort on a large scale again. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and immediately ordered the whole army to rush towards the dock fort.

The owner of the dock fort is a family. Seeing that it was the cavalry of the official army coming, they were still chasing the Xiliang army behind, so they hurriedly opened the dock fort and let Dong Zhuo's troops in.

Pang De could only helplessly watch Dong Zhuobu enter the dock fort.

Soon, Ma Chao and others also led the main force of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to chase after them and surround the dock fort.

Ma Chao saw that the soldiers were tired, so he did not prepare to attack the dock fort. Anyway, the goal of protecting the scattered customs has been achieved, and Ma Chao doesn't want to worry about Dong Zhuo anymore. After Ma Chao comforted the Sanguan defenders, he sent them back the same way and continued to garrison Sanguan.

Ma Chao thought again that he had fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and now Huangfu Song must be busy leading the remnants of the official army to retreat towards Chen Cangcheng. And Chen Cangcheng is also fifty miles away from the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers who are mainly foot soldiers and scarred have to walk fifty miles, which is definitely not as good as his Xiliang iron cavalry, and it is faster to ride back on horseback.

In this way, he could also intercept the official army again before the official army withdrew into Chencang City.

When Ma Chao had just made up his mind and wanted to go back to teach Huangfu Song a lesson, Dong Zhuo's arrogant shout came from the dock fort behind him: "Ma'er, our family is in this dock fort, do you dare to storm the dock fort?" ”

Ma Chao was furious, thinking that Huangfu Song was going to retreat into Chen Cang anyway, and it was not so fast, so he decided to teach Dong Zhuo a lesson first.

But how to teach it?

Ma Chao found that this dock fort was built on the bank of Weishui. And now it is autumn and winter, and Weishui is in a dry period; This year, there was a milder drought, so the water level in the Wupu section was so low that it could only reach the middle of the calf, and most of the riverbed in Weishui was exposed. The riverbed was lower than the riverbank and was large enough to accommodate large groups of cavalry.

Ma Chaoji came to his senses, and did not respond to Dong Zhuo's clamour, so he hurriedly led the army to retreat, and soon disappeared on the horizon.

Dong Zhuo saw Ma Chao leading the army to retreat, and hesitated.

Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, Jin Ma Chao must want to rush back, take advantage of Huangfu Song's failure to retreat into Chen Cang City, and take the opportunity to intercept again!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "We know this." Our family is just hesitating whether to support Huangfu Song once. ”

Li Ru said: "The main force of the official army has just been defeated, and now it is fleeing in panic like a lost dog. Jin Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is very fast, and he will definitely be able to intercept the official army and defeat the official army again. ”

Guo Yan said indignantly: "Huangfu Song took us to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and protect himself, and his intentions are really sinister. Lord, don't support it! ”

Li Dao also said angrily: "Yes! Let the horses clean up and clean up Huangfu Song, and export evil anger for us! ”

Dong Zhuo did not agree with the two, but reprimanded: "What do you two know? Now we and Huangfu Song are both officers and soldiers, and we are grasshoppers on a line. If Huangfu Song is destroyed by the horses, then the entire Sanfu will only be us. We can't stand it alone, and it's only a matter of time before we're wiped out by the horses. ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other and said, "Then lord, let's go and chase Jin Ma Chao!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and then led his troops out of the dock fort again, along Weishui, and chased in the direction of Chen Cang.

What Dong Zhuo didn't know was that when he was here on the south bank of Weishui, when the whole army was preparing to pursue Jinma Chao, the Huangfu Song he wanted to rescue was not between Chencang City and Jieting at this time, but in his northwest, that is, on the north bank of Weishui, leading the officers and troops to Yixian County.

Dong Zhuo led his troops to chase out thirty miles, and saw a wisp of cooking smoke from a bare riverbed in front of him. Advancing a little further, he saw dozens of horses under the smoke, Dong Zhuo hesitated, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop the march of the trilogy.

Those dozens of horsemen were Ma Chao and dozens of pro-soldiers. Ma Chao ordered his soldiers to make a fire on the riverbed and was cooking. Ma Chao and his soldiers took off their armor, let the war horses drink water around, and the saddle was also removed.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo really caught up, Ma Chao quietly showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded. Because around the Weishui riverbed, which was ten miles away from him, he had already instructed Pang De, Yan Xing, Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu and others to lead his troops to arrange a net of heaven and earth. And he, staying here, is to lead Dong Zhuo into the snare.

Dong Zhuo saw from a distance that it was none other than Ma Chao who was cooking on the fire on the spacious riverbed.
