Chapter 278: Mid-ambush

Seeing that tens of thousands of Xiliang iron riders were missing from Ma Chao's side, and there were only a few dozen riders, Dong Zhuo was even more hesitant in his heart.

Li Ru said cautiously: "Father-in-law, don't act rashly. The son-in-law thought that the reason why Jin Machao only had a few dozen horsemen around him was to attract our army to chase and kill. Jin Ma Chao set up an ambush elsewhere, and when he saw our army coming, he would definitely lead our army into the ambush circle. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he smiled and said, "Wenyou, you are too careful. Don't you hear the story of General Li Guang? ”

Li Ru was stunned, and Li Dao added: "Back then, General Fei Li Guang was still the border county guard, and often led light cavalry out of the fortress, went deep into the curtain, and reconnoitred the movements of the Huns. Once, Li Guang led a hundred horsemen out of the fortress and met a large force of Hun cavalry. Li Guang knew that he only had a hundred horsemen, and if he fled in a hurry, the Huns who were dozens of times his size would definitely be able to catch up. The Hun cavalry only needed to ride and shoot to kill him and his hundred cavalry. He deliberately ordered the soldiers to let go of their horses, unsaddle their horses, and ordered the soldiers to lie comfortably on the grass in front of the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry saw that Li Guang and others were scarce, but did not flee, but rested on the spot, thinking that Li Guang was deliberately luring them to pursue and introduce them into an ambush. The Hun cavalry did not dare to act rashly, so they withdrew at night, and Li Guang was able to survive. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "The same is true for the current horse, he has driven away our army and achieved the goal of holding the pass, so it is not much use to pursue our army again."

What is more beneficial to the horses is to hurry back to attack Huangfu Song, who is retreating in a hurry. And our family wants to pursue him, which will inevitably hinder his actions and allow the Huangfu Song Department to be preserved.

Therefore, he had to stop the pursuit of our army, so he deliberately pretended to lure our army into an ambush. In fact, he didn't have any ambush at all. If our family really told him to bluff, he would definitely laugh at our family. And if our family doesn't pursue the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Huangfu Song Department will inevitably fall into a big defeat again. Our situation will be even more difficult. ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo was ready to send an order to the whole army to kill Ma Chao on the riverbed.

Li Ru persuaded: "Father-in-law, son-in-law thinks that this must be a trap of Jin Ma Chao." ”

Dong Zhuole said hehehe: "Wen You doesn't need to say it anymore. This Jin Ma Chao actually followed suit, he really had the wisdom and courage of Li Guang, and he was really as stupid and timid as the Huns! Hehe, just when he is far away from Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there are only dozens of horses around him, and our family must capture this hateful horse alive! ”

Dong Zhuo ordered the whole army to attack and kill Ma Chao on the riverbed a hundred paces away.

Seeing Dong Zhuojun lingering in place, Ma Chao was a little anxious in his heart. Originally, he set up an ambush like this, assuming that with Dong Zhuo's reckless character, he would definitely feel that he was learning from Li Guang's bluff, and he would definitely catch up and throw himself into the ambush circle he arranged.

can see that Dong Zhuojun has not moved, Ma Chao is a little suspicious, hasn't Dong Zhuo heard of Li Guang's legend? Could it be that Dong Zhuo is really so timid and cautious?

Just thinking about it, Dong Zhuojun suddenly attacked and killed him. The horse was overjoyed, and ordered his soldiers not to put on the saddle anymore, but to step directly on the horse's back, pretending to run away in a hurry.

Dong Zhuo saw it, and sure enough, he laughed and said to Li Ru, who was parallel: "Hahaha! Wenyou, did you see that? As soon as this horse saw that our army was chasing and killing, our family saw through his bluff, and they were so anxious that they didn't even have time to put on the saddle, so they fled on the back of a slick horse! The world says that this horse is brilliant in wit and cunning, but after all, it is still not as good as our family! Hahaha! ”

Li Ru still persuaded bitterly: "Father-in-law, don't stop, don't pursue, my son-in-law still thinks that there must be a conspiracy of Jin Ma Chao in this." ”

Dong Zhuole waved his hand and said, "Wen You, although you are smart, you don't know about military affairs. Wait for our family to capture the horses for you! ”

Dong Zhuojun rushed down the riverbed vigorously, and countless horses' hooves splashed the river.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo could not be persuaded, Li Ru had a plan, turned the horse's head, and approached Dong Min.

……………………………………………………

Ma Chao and his soldiers tried their best to overcome the smooth back of the horse and ran towards the ambush circle as soon as possible.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Those who can capture Jin Ma Chao for our family will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the official will be promoted to the fifth level!" ”

"Whew!" Listening to Dong Zhuo's words, the cavalry under his command responded with enthusiastic cheers and rushed to chase after Ma Chao.

Chasing and chasing, walking for fifty miles, the distance is getting closer and closer, Dong Zhuo can clearly see the feathers on Ma Chao's helmet. Seeing that he was about to shoot at Ma Chao with a bow and arrow, at this moment, on both sides of the riverbed, that is, on the banks of the river on both sides, suddenly erupted into a rumbling sound.

The ecstatic Dong Zhuo was immediately shocked, he knew that this sound was the sound of a large group of cavalry charging in a group, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”

Immediately after, the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, closer and closer! Dong Zhuo looked left and right, and a military horse emerged on the river bank on the left, which was the Pang Debu. Pang De directly led his troops to rush down the riverbed and kill into Dong Zhuo's army.

Due to the long and narrow riverbed, Dong Zhuojun had already been pulled by the riverbed like a long snake, and there were only more than 100 horsemen in the thickest place. As soon as Pang De led his troops to rush over, he immediately cut off Dong Zhuojun and divided it into two parts.

Only then did Dong Zhuo remember Li Ru's advice and regret it. But when he was still regretting it, Ma Dai, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji also led their troops to rush down from all over the riverbank and divide Dong Zhuo's army into several sections. When the riverbed could not accommodate people, the other Xiliang iron horsemen immediately stood on both sides of the river, stood on the bank and shot arrows downward, killing Dong Zhuojun invincible and falling, and the corpses were full of riverbeds!

At this time, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers had no hope of capturing Ma Chao alive. Because at this moment, they can't hope for survival.

Dong Zhuo led them along the riverbed and pursued Ma Chao, causing them to also walk into the riverbed together. Although the Weishui riverbed is very spacious, it cannot hold tens of thousands of cavalry. So the riverbed pulled them into a long snake. At the same time, it will take them some time to walk up the riverbank, but Xiliang Tieqi can take advantage of the slope and rush down. Many Xiliang iron horsemen rushed down the riverbed from the riverbank, slashed horizontally, and rushed to the opposite bank again, which could cut off Dong Zhuojun.

There were more Xiliang iron horsemen, because the riverbed was already crowded, they did not go down to the riverbed, but stopped their horses on the shore, and shot arrows downward on both sides at the same time, killing most of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers.

Dong Zhuo was extremely sad in his heart, watching more and more soldiers fall, he thought that his troops were going to be wiped out by the Xiliang army in this battle, and he couldn't escape.
