Chapter 676: The War in the Imperial Capital (17)

There were two battles when the Xiliang Army entered the Sizhou territory, one was a bloody battle with the Northern Corps of the Shenwu Army in the north, and the other was a bloody battle between the Xiliang Army and its old opponent Yue Fei of the Yongzhou Corps, and this battle has a strong record in the history books. The record of this war in the history books is recorded as the most tragic battle of the Yongzhou Corps of the Shenwu Army, and it is also one of the most tragic battles fought by Yue Fei.

The Xiliang army did not send a large number of scouts, but followed the group of miscellaneous soldiers from a distance, they were waiting for the beginning and end of the battle of Zuihou, the imperial capital would tremble in their hands, and they would become the rulers of the entire imperial capital. The Xiliang Army had already lost one percent before they could discover Ma Chao's corps at the first time, not to mention that the scouts of the Yongzhou Corps had been following them all along. A team of scouts kept going back and forth between the troops, constantly sending all kinds of information back, and a large amount of information was sent to Ma Chao's hands, Ma Chao was also secretly marching on the one hand, and also sent people to Dijing City and Yue Fei for help.

The 300,000 Xiliang Army is definitely not something he can deal with, and Ma Chao knows very well that he has no way to withstand the attack of the Xiliang Army now. Ma Chao only has more than 10,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and his subordinates can be ten by one, and they are still not the opponents of these Xiliang Army. The reputation of these Xiliang Army is all real, and Ma Chao, who fought with the cavalry of the Xiliang Army in Yongzhou, naturally knows very well that they are not the opponents of the Xiliang Army at all now. Their only hope now is on Yue Fei's body, but there are not many cavalry available under Yue Fei's command now, and it is impossible for a large number of infantry to rush to the battlefield immediately. There are enemies in the front and rear. Ma Chao fell into a dilemma for a while.

Banner covers the sky. Wu Yan, who was guarding Tongguan, immediately took the initiative to hand over the military power after waiting for Yue Fei, and let Yue Fei have full authority to command all military operations, and all the troops under his command were at Yue Fei's disposal. Yue Fei did not shirk and immediately ended up with all the military power in Wu Yan's hands, and immediately disputed the Praetorian Guards in the city, all of which were incorporated into the Yongzhou Corps. For a time, the strength of the Yongzhou army reached more than 600,000 people, and Yue Fei was supplemented by the strength of the Praetorian Guard. The army marched here, and it already had cavalry numbering 100,000 men at all times.

"Report, Metropolitan Governor, urgent military situation!" A scout with a tired face turned over and dismounted and handed over the information in his hand to Yue Fei, who took the information handed by the scout. This time the Yongzhou army is also going south, except for Nian Qianyao with a small number of troops symbolically occupying several cities in Yongzhou, the rest of the troops have already followed Yue Fei south, the reason why Nian Qianyao is still in Yongzhou is to wait for the transfer of the three princes and Tong Weiyong's extorted military supplies.

Yue Fei's face changed very drastically after reading the information in his hand, and it was obvious that the development of the war had exceeded his expectations. The soldiers around them were still marching in a hurry, but the rush for days also made these elite soldiers mentally exhausted. Since Yongzhou went south, they have not been able to rest well, and the marches for days have made these soldiers extremely tired. Fortunately, the good training of the Shenwu Army is fully reflected at this moment, and the Shenwu Army does not appear in the soldiers who have fallen behind, which has to be said to be a miracle. But now Yue Fei has no time to be proud, and the development of the form has made Yue Fei also start to have a headache.

The 300,000 Xiliang soldiers are not much, but the key is that the 300,000 Xiliang troops are all cavalry, and the distance between them and the imperial capital is less than a day. Yue Fei has a headache now, the information of the emperor has been sent, the military reports are more urgent than one another, Yue Fei has ordered his subordinates to march quickly, but now there is no way to stop them. If it is in Yongzhou now, let alone 300,000, even if it is 700,000, he Yue Fei can still defeat them completely, but now the 300,000 cavalry is a headache for Yue Fei, just because the cavalry in his hands is only 100,000, even if he counts the cavalry in Ma Chao's hand, there are not many troops to attack the Xiliang army.

"Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Li Sheng. Yue Fei has already made up his mind, since he has already decided, there is no need to continue to hesitate, the situation in the imperial capital is getting more and more serious, and the military newspaper has already directly ordered Yue Fei to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible. The 300,000 Xiliang army will never be able to let them attack the imperial capital no matter what, and they must be blocked. The four fierce generals immediately drove out of the marching ranks and stood quietly in front of Yue Fei.

"The four of you immediately rushed to the front with all the cavalry to join Ma Chao, with Li Sheng as the general, you must block the 300,000 Xiliang army for me, Guan Yu, I will give you 5,000 fine cavalry, and you must drag out the 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers who are rushing towards the imperial capital for me. Yue Fei immediately began to dispatch troops, this time Yue Fei sent almost all the generals in his hands, except for one Meng Gong, Meng Gong is good at fighting cavalry with infantry, if it is only a cavalry battle, Meng Gong's ability to charge into battle is far inferior to these generals, of course, Yue Fei's hands also retain a certain strength, and the generals who came to support in the later stage are all held by Yue Fei in his hands, and there must be no situation in the battle of the army.

"All the soldiers and horses immediately gave me all unnecessary baggage, and marched quickly, the honor and disgrace of the Yongzhou army will be fought here, soldiers, for glory, advance!" Yue Fei also wanted to have a wonderful war mobilization at this time, but time did not allow it at this time. Yue Fei only said to these soldiers, and the lord needs us, and all the soldiers immediately abandoned all unnecessary baggage and hurriedly marched towards the imperial capital. All the cavalry were hit immediately, and the five fierce generals immediately rushed towards the direction where the Xiliang army was located with all the cavalry under their command. At the same time, the herald immediately sent an order to Ma Chao to mobilize his army immediately, and when the army arrived, he immediately launched an attack.

The reason why Yue Fei did not let Ma Chao attack the 100,000 miscellaneous army this time was also after careful consideration, the strength of the 100,000 miscellaneous army to attack could not be more, otherwise the only remaining cavalry would not be able to hold back the elite cavalry of the Xiliang army. And this small number of troops must have a fierce general to lead, and this person Yue Fei chose Guan Yu instead of Ma Chao, although both of them are rare generals in the army. But when it comes to fighting and large-scale devastating attacks. Ma Chao has no way to compare with Guan Yu no matter what. Moreover, Ma Chao's grasp of cavalry combat is far better than Guan Yu's. As long as you can defeat those miscellaneous armies, and the Xiliang army must be completely annihilated, if you want to annihilate the Xiliang army, you must wait until your own army, and if you want to drag these Xiliang army, Yue Fei can only pin all his hopes on the cavalry under his command.

Under Yue Fei's order, the gears of the entire Yongzhou Army finally turned again, and all the soldiers immediately rushed to support from all directions. All the soldiers understood that now they had no time to delay any longer, and the war in the imperial capital had reached the point of urgency. Now it is their Yongzhou army that can change the entire war situation. Yue Fei immediately took the middle army and began to mobilize the army, while Meng Gong led his soldiers to the battlefield.

"General, the Xiliang Army has begun to move, and it is rapidly approaching our army!" a scout shouted to report to Ma Chao when he was still far away. Ma Chao's face changed when he heard the scout's report, and he almost didn't have to guess that the Xiliang army must have discovered their cavalry. Sure enough, several teams of scouts rushed back to report, and the bandits and bandits who were marching towards the imperial capital also began to mobilize towards their own army, Ma Chao's heart was suddenly shocked, it seemed that this time the enemy did not plan to let him go.

"Everyone immediately threw away all their baggage, changed their horses, and prepared for battle!" Ma Chao roared, and the soldiers under his command promised. Immediately changed to a horse with the most powerful horsepower, and began to line up to prepare for battle. Ma Chao knew that if he retreated with his army now, he would obviously be able to retreat with his whole body, but in this way, the Xiliang army, which was already less than half a day's distance from the imperial capital, could send a small number of troops to monitor him and the army rushed straight to the imperial capital, and the more than 10,000 troops in his hands could not stop the attack of these people at all.

Boom, the hooves of the cavalry were beating on the horses, and the leading general of the Xiliang Army looked at the more than 10,000 cavalry in the distance with an unkind face, Guo Yan's mood is very bad now, it can't be said to be bad, it can be said to be very bad. The greatest sorrow for a war maniac is when others are making a lot of merit on the battlefield, while he can only follow a group of ragtags from a distance and wait for an opportunity. Guo Yan is not optimistic about this war, and the so-called disapproval is not that Guo Yan thinks that he cannot win, but because he does not want to do nothing in such a big war.

Just now, the scouts of their army found a team of scouts following them from a distance, and what surprised Guo Yan even more was that there was a team of 10,000 elite cavalry of the Shenwu Army fifty miles away from them, which was great news for Guo Yan. However, what made Guo Yan very unhappy was that he found out that the pair of cavalry had already discovered their Xiliang army a long time ago, and he still wanted to follow this group of miscellaneous soldiers from a distance like a fool and do nothing. After discovering this group of cavalry, Guo Yan did not hesitate and immediately came to destroy this cavalry with his troops. Guo Yan is a fierce general, but he is not the kind of military general with a simple mind and developed limbs, he knows that there are 10,000 elite cavalry here, and there must be a large number of infantry in the rear to follow, so Guo Yan also transferred back the miscellaneous soldiers in front. Guo Yan's transfer of troops this time also allowed the imperial capital to pass through the most dangerous period, and later generations will always put a stupid hat on Guo Yan when commenting on this war.

At that time, although the situation in the outer city of the imperial capital had been stabilized by the Shenwu army, the city had been occupied by Zhang Bai's army, and a large number of troops had been withdrawn. If Guo Yan did not transfer the 100,000 troops at this time, as long as the combat effectiveness of this army could attack the imperial capital, the Shenwu army would definitely be defeated. But there are so many coincidences on Shijie, that is, so accidental, Guo Yan transferred all the troops back, and Dijing not only escaped a catastrophe, but also added a heavy stroke to the record of the Yongzhou Corps.

"General, the other party only has 10,000 elite cavalry, should we continue to advance towards the imperial capital?" Guo Yan's lieutenant general looked at Ma Chao's cavalry waiting there, and proposed to Guo Yan. The adjutant general's idea was completely correct, after all, their main task now was to capture the imperial capital, not to mobilize all the troops under their command here for 10,000 cavalry. But the deputy general thought so, Guo Yan didn't think so, Guo Yan snorted coldly and didn't speak, the deputy general saw that his main general was unhappy, and he also knew that he closed his mouth and didn't speak. He knows Guo Yan's character very well, and if he continues to talk about it, it is estimated that his life will be gone.

The dense Xiliang army appeared in front of Ma Chao in a neat line. Looking at the murderous Xiliang Army in front of him, Ma Chao also gasped. The murderous aura on this Xiliang army was obviously much heavier than that of every cavalry he encountered. And the whole force has an eerie and terrifying feel. The Xiliang army did not charge at Ma Chao. Instead, they stood there in line and also looked at the cavalry under Ma Chao's command.

"Ma Chao?" Guo Yan saw the flag flying high, and immediately frowned, he had heard of Ma Chao's name, and he could be regarded as a fierce general of the Yongzhou Army. The bravery of the generals of the Yongzhou Army is a deep memory for the soldiers and generals of the Xiliang Army, but when Guo Yan saw Ma Chao's banner, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, when the Liangzhou Army was fighting against the Yongzhou Army, Guo Yan had never exterminated those disobedient aliens in the rear, and he had not been able to fight with the Xiliang Army.

However, the bravery of the Yongzhou army, Guo Yan heard a lot from the mouths of those defeated soldiers. However, Ma Chao's name is not as loud as Zhao Yun and others, because Ma Chao has always fought with Tong Weiyong in the north, and has not directly fought with the main force of the Xiliang Army, but as a fierce general of the Yongzhou Corps of the Shenwu Army, his name has still reached the ears of all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. When Guo Yan rushed to Yongzhou with a large army to support, Yue Fei had already gone south with his soldiers and horses, and Guo Yan was always sorry that he was not able to fight with the Yongzhou Corps of the Shenwu Army, especially when he fought with the fierce generals of the Yongzhou Army, which made Guo Yan suffer for a while. Now that he has met Ma Chao, the corners of Guo Yan's mouth can't help but hang a sneer.

"General, this Ma Chao is also a member of the Yongzhou Army. I heard that many of the Tong Jiajun's fierce generals have been planted in his hands, should we be cautious?" the adjutant general kindly reminded on the side. He knew his lord's temper all too well. When he saw the light in Guo Yan's eyes, he knew that this time Guo Yan wanted to do it himself, but the deputy general felt that it was still necessary to remind Guo Yan that if he was killed by Ma Chao, then their Xiliang Army would be lively.

Guo Yan naturally understood what the deputy general meant, and Guo Yan glanced at the many generals around him. The generals who followed Guo Yan were also militants, so they naturally understood what Guo Yan meant, and when a rough-faced alien general drove out with a sitting-down Warcraft War Horse, he reported to Guo Yan: "General, the last general asked to go to war, and he must have beheaded the enemy general to give the general the first merit." ”

Guo Yan saw this general who came out, and his face suddenly showed a trace of joy, this general is also a famous general under Guo Yan, and he can play also Guo Yan is very satisfied. At that moment, Guo Yan nodded heavily, and the general under his command urged his mount to rush out. Ma Chao saw a fierce general coming out of it, and his face was immediately happy, now what Ma Chao needs is time, and he can single-handedly pick up the most suitable for him.

"The enemy general's name!" The alien general drove out of his mount, raised his mace in his hand and pointed at Ma Chao and shouted loudly, his momentum was very arrogant, and his eyes looked at Ma Chao as if he were looking at a dead man. The mounts under his command were also very arrogant, looking at the war horses under Ma Chao's command, and let out a low roar in his throat, as if he was waiting for his master to give an order, he would immediately pounce on Ma Chao and tear his mount to pieces.

Ma Chao shook the reins in his hand, and the war horse that sat down immediately understood the master's intentions and walked out slowly. Ma Chao pulled up the horse of the mount, raised the dragoon gun in his hand and shouted: "I am Ma Chao of the Yongzhou Corps of the Shenwu Army, the enemy general is also famous, and Ma Chao does not pick a nameless ghost under the gun!"

"The thief will die, and I will come to Ma Chao!" The war beast that sat down roared and rushed over, the momentum was quite turbulent, and the powerful aura and murderous aura made Ma Chao also look at this foreign fierce general, it seems that Dong Zhuo also has a lot of fierce people under his command.

"It's good!" Ma Chao roared, shook the reins of the horse that sat down, and the war horse under his command immediately urged towards the one, the dragoon spear in his hand shook, and countless pieces of spear suddenly flashed a bright bright light in the air, and the general was suddenly startled, and the mace in his hand swept and smashed towards Ma Chao.

"Bell!" The weapons in the hands of the two collided together, and the dragoon spear in Ma Chao's hand shook and stabbed at the general, who also retracted the mace in his hand and smashed it at the Ma Chao. The two figures were misplaced, and Ma Chao waved the weapon in his hand at the same time and smashed it towards each other.

"It seems that this general is not a simple person either. Ma Chao also made a mistake with the general, randomly withdrew the dragoon gun in his hand and turned around and turned to the general.

"This Ma Chao is really a fierce general. The general turned the horse's head and looked at Ma Chao coldly, and he was also surprised in his heart, he originally thought that Ma Chao, a white-faced boy, had no force value, but he didn't expect this guy to be really not simple.
