Section 40 Long Ting

Deng Ai looked at the Xiliang cavalry who was killing him, and a sneer passed by his lips. General and Mr. Jia and others were too accurate to this greedy horse. Although he knew that he had fallen into the trap, he still couldn't resist the powerful temptation brought by capturing Shangji City. He was trapped. He only saw that the left wing was the weakest, which did not mean that he could see that the central wing was the strongest.

Under the escort of his personal guards and two hundred female guards, Deng Ai calmly raised the flag in his hand.

One hundred steps, the city-guarding crossbow and thunderous chariots began to roar. With waves of tremor, waves of long arrows and huge rocks flew over Deng Ai's head and poured into the cavalry team that was charging, shooting through the cavalry on the horse's back and smashing it into meat mud. Although they could not completely block the surging Hong Gang, they played a key hindering role. The woeful war horses and the fallen soldiers all the time affected the overall speed. Although the cavalry were still charging at the best, their smooth attack was fatal.

At eighty steps, the strong archers in the formation began to show their power. Under the protection of the front row of shield soldiers and spearmen, they released the long arrows in their hands and leaped over eighty steps in the air, like a group of blood-devouring ghosts, rushing into the cavalry team, and taking away fresh lives. Although the arrows in the strong bow camp did not shoot as far as the city crossbow, and did not have the strong force of the city crossbow that could penetrate the people with one arrow, they were better because of the large number of strong bow camps with nearly a thousand people, and tens of thousands of long arrows were fired in a few breaths. Such a dense array of arrows may not have much effect on heavy armor infantry holding large shields, so for cavalrymen who only wore simple leather armor, holding light round shields, and war horses with armor at all, the concentrated shooting of the strong bow camp was a nightmare.

The round shield could not cover the whole body, and the leather armor could not play much protective role. All the cavalry could do was to rush over as soon as possible, rush across this distance, rush into the Cao army's formation, use the powerful impact force of the cavalry to tear open the spear formation that Cao army was in the front, and then they could use the long sword of their hands to chop the infantry to wantonly kill. Before this, all they could do was to urge the war horse under their crotch until they were killed by the arrow, or the war horse fell to the ground, throw them out, and be trampled to death by the subsequent war horses.

However, things were far from as simple as they imagined. After the cavalry that charged quickly passed the ravages of the city crossbows, thunder chariots and strong bow camps, they could not immediately enter the formation when they rushed to the Cao army formation. They also had to face the Rei Horses that were trapped on the ground. Because the Rei Horses were planted in a hurry, they did not lay in depth, but were just a thin row. Many cavalrymen were unwilling to get off the horses and pull them out. In that case, they had to face the raging of the Cao army's bows and arrows. They chose to jump up, jump over the Rei Horses that were more than one person high, and directly attacked the Cao army's formation.

This seems to be a good idea, not a good idea.

To jump over the horse directly, you need to control the position of the horse's jumping in a fast running. If you are a little ahead of time, you will not be able to jump over the horse. It is likely to fall on the horse's belly and be pierced by a huge pointed wooden stake. If you drag it a little later, you may hit the horse's jumping directly before you jump. Even if you jump in time, they will still face the danger of being regarded as a living target when you are in the air.

Obviously, even though these Qiang people have been riding on horseback since childhood, there are still a few who can do this. Only dozens of horses leaped over Yuma and rushed towards the spear formation. More people either hit the ruma or fell down by the ruma and were hooked by the ruma and fell directly by the ruma and were directly pierced by the ruma and hung on the ruma. A layer of corpses quickly piled up in front of and behind the thin ruma formation. The cavalry rushing to the ruma formation was killed and injured by the ruma cavalry under the dense ruma killing and crossbows. The people of Xiliang went crazy. They ignored them. Some of them urged the extremely fast war horses to hit the ruma madly, and some jumped off the horse and chopped with their swords, carried them with their shoulders, and dashed with their hands, and looked at the long arrows that looked like rain on their heads without seeing them. They exchanged their lives for the loosening of more than a dozen ruma horses, and opened a passage in front of the Cao army formation.

The cavalry behind rushed into the passage, like a flood that broke the dike, and was wantonly vast. However, due to the heavy losses ahead, although the passage was opened, there were only a thousand people rushing over, and they ran into infantry headed by the Iron Armored Battalion. The cavalry rode their horses to attack the spearmen in front, and one war horse was pierced by sharp spears and fell before the battle formation. Some of the knights on the horses were shot to death by howling long arrows, some were suppressed by the fallen war horses, and were assassinated by Cao's army before they could get up, and some jumped up from the fallen war horses, crashed into the Cao army formation, and were then hacked to death by random knives.

However, the tenacious Xiliang cavalry vowed to retreat and rushed to the spear formation unyieldingly. Even in the face of death, they still had to shoot arrows in their hands, stab the spears in their hands, throw out the swords in their hands, use war horses, and use their flesh and blood to hit Cao's battle formation again and again. The casualties of the spear formation increased sharply and slowly loosened. They finally couldn't bear the embankment under the impact of huge waves, and collapsed with a loud bang.

The cavalry shouted happily, roared like thunder, and rode their horses into the gap, killing freely, and trying hard to expand the gap even wider.

Deng Ai sneered and waved the flag in his hand: "Order Liu Feng from the Iron Armored Camp to intercept him, Liu Pan and Lei Tong led the strong archers to support him."

Since the pacification of Jiangdong, Liu Feng has followed Cao Chong to Guanzhong and served as the deputy general of Hao Zhao in the Iron Armor Battalion. The Iron Armor Battalion is Cao Chong's personal infantry camp. The training task is very heavy, but there are not many opportunities for actual battles. He listened to the fierce fighting outside every day, but he had no war to fight, and he had long been itchy. Just now, Cao's army sent female guards to rescue Deng Ai at the city gate, but did not send the Iron Armor Battalion. He was still a little confused, but he was puzzled, but he could only endure it. This time, the Iron Armor Battalion was sent to cooperate with Deng Ai's troops to act as the left wing of the Chang'an Army. He originally thought he was accompanying him again.

When he was watching a show at home, he couldn't fight, but he didn't expect that the heavens would turn to man, Ma Chao actually chose his left wing as a breakthrough point. This made Liu Feng happy and waited for the opportunity to attack. Now when he heard Deng Ai's order, he immediately rushed up with the people and roared excitedly. Perhaps because of his excessive excitement, his voice was a bit distorted and sounded strange, but his knife was not distorted. Facing the Xiliang cavalry who were chopping and slashing the infantry, he jumped up, and his long sword slashed down with a sharp roar.

One knife and two pieces.

A stream of blood soared into the sky, spurting Liu Feng's face with his head and face. The bloody smell made Liu Feng feel crazy. He shouted again, and the shield in his left hand held a long sword that was slashed, and the long sword in his right hand rose up, cutting off the arm of an enemy soldier. The enemy soldier was so sad that he flew down the war horse, trying to knock Liu Feng over with his body. Liu Feng had no time to pay attention to him, and flashed by, and the long sword killed another enemy soldier. Behind him, the cavalry with a broken arm had been provoked by three long halberds and threw it away from a distance.

The long halberds in the Iron Armored Army flew over, completely ignoring the arrows shot by the people of Xiliang. They formed a small array of fierce offensives, covered each other, and stepped forward steadily. The long halberds in their hands were hooked and stabbed one after another. The cavalrymen lost their speed, and the weapons in their hands were not as good as the long halberds of the Iron Armored Army, and the bows and arrows could not work. They immediately fell into a full passive state. The soldiers who finally rushed in quickly fell under the long halberds of the Iron Armored Army. Wherever the Iron Armored Army went, there were only one unowned war horses left, and soldiers who had lost their combat power and groaned on the ground.

Liu Pan and Lei Tong watched Liu Feng advance with enviousness and strode forward with the Iron Armored Army, commanding their subordinates to raise their arrows and shoot wildly in the distance. Their troops were already full of wounded soldiers. Except for the strong archer system, the other soldiers were already left, and it was impossible to rush up and fight like Liu Feng. However, with the Iron Armored Army blocking the enemy, and the female guards led by Guan Feng watched from the side. These soldiers seemed to take stimulants, fighting to the death like crazy. Seeing them like they were like they were like they were crazy, they wanted to rush to the front of the Iron Armored Army to kill them. Fortunately, they showed in front of these women that they were not cowards, but a real man. They wanted to use their bravery to clean up the shame of asking the female guards to rescue them, otherwise they would never be able to raise their heads in front of other soldiers in the future.

Although the five thousand cavalrymen used their flesh and blood to open the left wing of Cao's army, they were killed because they were unable to succeed. After half an hour of fighting, the five thousand cavalrymen only fled back a hundred people, and the Cao army also lost more than two thousand people. On the battle formation of more than a hundred steps in front of them, there were layers of corpses piled up on them. The long arrows inserted into the corpses were like dense weeds. The stones thrown from the thunder chariot could no longer see the original color, and there were pieces of flesh and blood on them. The strong smell of blood could not dissipate, making people feel nauseated.

"Cao's crossbow is too strong. Although our army rushed through the arrow formation, opened the horse-rejected horse, and broke through the spear formation, the losses ahead were too great and the troops were insufficient, so..." A general who fled back knelt in front of Ma Chao's horse and said with his teeth trembling.

Ma Chao stared at the battle formation in front, his face as deep as water. He suddenly laughed and said, "Cao's arrow formation is fierce, but when can they hold on to the point where they can shoot arrows at all costs? I looked at it and their arrow formation was already quite thin just now, and the thunder chariot did not put stones on it. If we rushed again, we would definitely be able to break the formation easily. Do you have confidence?"

"I..." The general remembered the long arrow that Cao's army had just now, and was suspicious and did not dare to agree.

"Hmph!" Ma Chao sneered: "As a side general, he was wiped out but returned alone, how can you keep you?" He urged his horse to move forward, and the spear in his hand shook like a spirit snake. Before the general came to his senses, he was already picked at the tip of the spear. Ma Chao held the spear with one arm, and easily picked up the general who was already angry and still had wide eyes. He walked back and forth a few steps in front of the formation, shouting loudly: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and those who are afraid of the enemy will be killed without mercy."

The soldiers were silent and secretly worried.

"The Cao army's stones are almost used up, and the thunder chariots have become a pile of waste, and the long arrows are consumed. Now in front of you, there is only the row of hurriedly buried horses. After rushing past these horses, Cao army is your prey, like a flock of sheep encounters wolves, and you can slaughter it. Take Shangji City and capture Cao Chong alive. You will have whatever you want." Ma Chao shouted loudly, raised the spear in his hand, and announced again: "Those who retreat in the face of force will be killed without mercy."

He turned his head, looked at the hundreds of sieve-shaped soldiers with cold eyes, and shouted loudly: "Do you want to rush again like a man, or do you want to be beheaded in a cowardly manner?"

"We..." The soldiers hesitated for a moment. Ma Chao didn't give them any chance to consider. With a wave of his hand, the personal guards, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed forward immediately, raised their swords and killed the hundred people in front of the formation in the blink of an eye.

All the soldiers were shocked. It was normal for Ma Chao to kill people, but it was shocking to massacre his soldiers like this. These people did not escape at the last minute. They fought almost all of them and had no hope of breaking the formation. However, they were killed by Ma Chao on the charge of retreating at the last minute. Everyone felt Ma Chao's murderous intent. If they did not break Shangji City, no one would have a way out.

"Big shield comes forward and first remove the horses and the central cavalry then follow." Ma Chao ordered fiercely.

"General, Cao's army has changed its formation." A deputy general reminded.

Ma Chao looked up and saw Cao's left wing slowly retreating behind the heavy armored infantry. Ma Chao laughed. It seemed that Cao's army had suffered a lot just now, and the left wing could not withstand another attack, so he retreated early. However, without the support of the city-defying crossbow and thunderbolt chariot, even these heavy armored infantry could not resist the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry.

"He wants to take care of the left wing, the central army will inevitably be weak. This time we will not attack the left wing, but directly attack his central army." Ma Chao sent an order and ordered the horse farm in the east of the city to return to the rescue, leaving behind five thousand cavalry guarding the right wing cavalry of Cao's army, and used ten thousand cavalry to attack the central formation of Cao's army, striving to break the formation in one battle and kill Cao Chong, so as to achieve full success.

Cao Chong looked at the messenger kneeling in front of the horse and asked in a harmonious voice: "When did General Zhu and Captain Zhuo arrive in Hejiashan?"

The messenger replied loudly: "Early this morning, General Hao and General Jiang have set up a blocking formation in Hejiashan, and General Zhu and the Chief Supervisor reinforced him. General Hao said that he could guarantee that no soldier or soldier could escape south through Hejiashan."

Cao Chong smiled with a smirk, and Zhu Shu turned around as he expected. Since this battle could not be defeated, the task assigned to him by Cao Pi had failed anyway, and he could not even save himself if he did not surrender. Zhang Liao removed Wu Zhi's military power, and Zhu Shu turned the trend again. The only thing left was Sima Yi, the three nails left by Cao Pi in Guanzhong. Unfortunately, this guy was too smart. At the critical moment, he actually became a turtle with his head and did not give him a chance to kill his dog.

Hao Zhao and others were ambushing in Hejiashan with seven or eight thousand men. It was obviously unrealistic for Ma Chao to escape south easily through Hejiashan. Since that is the case, there is no need to delay time with Ma Chao here. He thought for a moment and said loudly to Jia Xu on the city wall: "Mr. Jia, act according to the plan."

"Here." Jia Xu showed a rare smile and waved his hand to order. Soon, a wolf smoke rose into the sky in the city, and it did not dissipate in the strong wind for a long time, soaring into the sky. Then, several strong men with naked upper bodies shook the flesh of the bullocks on their bodies and pounded the huge war drums on the top of the city with force. The thick drum sounded over Shangqiu City and hit the hearts of every soldier. With the increasing sound of drums, the soldiers were excited and excited. They held the weapons in their hands and eagerly waited for Shangguan's orders.

Ma Chao's vanguard army moved forward under the cover of the shield to move the horse. What surprised them was that Cao's army did not shoot arrows to interfere, and no one came up to stop them. They just watched them finish the task in fear and returned to their formation with gratitude.

Ma Chao looked at the path that was more than ten steps wide in front of him, laughed to the sky, pointed the spear in his hand, and launched the final attack.

Ten rows of cavalry rushed out of the battle formation first. They held the reins tightly in their left hand, and the long sword in their right hand, lying on the horse's back, almost integrated with the horse, and quickly increased their speed to the limit. The four hooves of the war horse flew into the air, and the rapid sound of the horse's hooves was like the war drums at the top of the city, so dense that they could not be counted.

The earth trembled, and the clearly audible tremor spread along the tight earth quickly to the foot of Zhou Ben, the selection leader of the Chang'an Army. Zhou Ben looked coldly from his face armor at the cavalry rushing forward, holding the Chang'an in both hands, and suddenly shouted:

"kill--"

The Sanbai Selected Front Camp immediately shouted: "Kill--"

The three thousand long soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill——"

The three rows of nearly a thousand long thorns in front danced, and the cold light reflected from the long blades was like the aperture of the god of death, with a dazzling and cold light and an invincible murderous aura, fearlessly met the rushing cavalry.

Eighty steps, the city-guarding crossbow at the top of the city and the strong bow camp behind the formation roared almost at the same time. The dense rain of arrows tore the air and poured into the fast-rushing cavalry formation, stagnating the momentum of the cavalry charge. Countless cavalry were shot by long arrows and fell down. The horses were caught in arrows, but they could not stop and were still wrapped and ran forward until they fell to the ground. A war horse fell to the ground, often leading more than a dozen unretractable war horses to fall to the ground, and became a mess until the cavalry behind had time to turn around.

"Rise the shield!" The leading cavalry general shouted loudly, raised the shield in his hand, and at the same time he used the war horse in his right hand to thrust on the buttocks of the war horse. The war horse neighed in pain and accelerated again, rushing towards the Cao army like an arrow. In the eyes of the cavalry, as long as they rushed through the battle formation, no matter how beautiful the Cao army danced, they could not stop the rapid war horses.

The overall situation has been decided.

The dozens of people who led the leadership escaped the massacre of the arrow formation by luck. They rushed to the Cao army formation and raised the sword in their hands with a grin.

"Kill!" Zhou Ben shouted loudly, and with the help of his waist, he suddenly slashed the long sword of the leading cavalry. The long sword of the leading cavalry also cut off his shoulder, and drew a row of sparks on the iron armor, but did not hurt Zhou Ben at all. Before he could be surprised, the long sword had already arrived.

One person and one horse, cut two pieces.

The cavalry general opened his eyes widened, and half of his body flew into the air. He was surprised to see his other half and the first half of the war horse still rushed forward with strong momentum. However, this time he clearly saw the terrifying scene. A long swirling thorn cut half of the war horse into two pieces again, as relaxed as if cutting paper.

Are there such sharp weapons in the world?

The cavalryman had no time to think about this. His half of his body flew into a rotating aperture, and was then cut into pieces. He flew a few steps away in the air, and fell in front of a standing armored warrior with a thud. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the long and bright thigh in the warrior's hand in awe, as if he wanted to keep it firmly in his heart.

The rushing cavalry was hit by the arrow formation head-on, and the offensive was suddenly frustrated, and the formation became much sparse. When the Chang'an Army was hit by the Chang'an Army, the speed quickly disappeared. However, the cavalry behind them were still coming, like a surging river flow encountered a stable long dike, and gradually spread out in front of the Chang'an Army. The cavalry did not have enough speed, and the long sword in their hands was no match for the Chang'an Army. In front of the flying Chang'an, they had no power to fight back. Even if they were chopped on the opponent, they would just rub a row of sparks and could not hurt them at all. The power of the long horn more than two meters long danced was extraordinary. They were really dead and killed, and there was no way to live wherever they went.

The cavalry in front was slaughtered, and the cavalry behind could not reach the enemy.

They had to draw a bow and shoot arrows, but the bows and arrows in their hands were not only not as good as those of the city-guarding crossbow, but they were far behind the strong bows of the Cao army. They had no effect on the iron armor of the Changchun Army. Cao army, who was determined to wield the Changchun Army and killed their opponents, ignored them and turned a blind eye.

The cavalry complained, their opponents were invulnerable to swords and guns, but their weapons were killed by people and gods, and they had the upper hand. This battle was simply an unfair battle. They were completely in a situation of being massacred and could not see any hope of victory.

"Blow the trumpet, ask for help." The cavalry general of the former army was furious and did not dare to fight again. While holding a shield to block the rain of arrows that kept coming, he ordered the messenger to blew the trumpet to ask for help. Unfortunately, although the trumpet could convey the signal of asking for help, it could not convey the tragic situation in front of the formation. Ma Chao, who was in the back formation, saw that the speed in front of the front was reduced and he was not sure of his intention. Now he heard the front army asking for help, and he was even more puzzled. Ten thousand cavalry attacked more than 3,000 infantrymen, and it was already a surprise that he did not break the formation immediately. He actually asked for help?

Ma Chao was furious and rushed up with his personal guard camp. When he arrived in front of the formation with the rain of arrows, he couldn't help but take a breath. The slaughterhouse had become a slaughterhouse in front of the formation. The crowded cavalry were helpless in the face of the heavy armored Cao army. They couldn't fight even if they wanted to fight. They were blocked in front of the formation and could not accelerate. They could not even do it if they wanted to bump into Cao army. The knife and arrows in their hands could not play any role in Cao army, but the strange-shaped weapon in the opponent's hands was extremely sharp, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

What kind of weapon is this? It has such a terrifying lethality? Ma Chao was stunned.

Niu Jin, the chief general of the Changqi Army, saw Ma Chao's battle flag, immediately became angry and became brave. In the battle between Guanzhong, Cao Tai was first in the battle formation, and was defeated by Ma Chao and his cavalry. When he was training the Changqi Army in Hanzhong, he always regarded Ma Chao as an imaginary enemy. When he thought of Ma Chao, he would go crazy involuntarily. Now that he saw the real person, he could of course not suppress his murderous intent.

"Order, enter the attack formation and alternately cover and advance." Niu Jin said, taking the helmet from the guard's hand: "Personal Guard Camp, follow me to kill Ma Chao."

The drum sound changed, and the Changzhang Army, who had been watching the battle in the back row, was refreshed and penetrated through the gaps of the front army. The cavalry that was blocking the formation was cut off a layer of the cavalry. They strode and walked forward bravely. The long horns in their hands were like sharp axes for cutting wood, steering hard on the thick cavalry battle formation. The only difference was that what they cut was not flying wood chips, but life.

Niu Jin led the strongest guard camp to the front, and there was no one in his hand wherever the long horn went. Every time he danced, he cut any living thing he saw in front of him into two halves. The guards beside him were even more elites selected from the long horn army. They were tall and long arms, two meters and two long horns as light as nothing in their hands. The cold face armor blocked their faces, and only two blood-devouring eyes were revealed, making all those who received such gazes frightened.

This terrifying long-distance army lined up in a cone formation with Niu Jin as the vanguard, like a storm and a raging wave, swept away everything in front of him. At Ma Chao's unbelievable speed, he drove a bloody road among the cavalry and rushed straight towards him.

Ma Chao was shocked. He couldn't help but want to retreat. As soon as he took a step back, he suddenly woke up. He shouted loudly and threw out the spear in his hand. The spear rushed towards Niu Jin, the leader. Niu Jin was always looking at Ma Chao. Seeing the flying spear, he smiled coldly, swept the long horn in his hand, and slapped the spear in a slanted manner, and took the opportunity to slash a Ma Chao's personal guard who was blocking him in two. The guard screamed, half of his body was washed up by blood and flew up in the air, and the lower half of his body was still standing in place. He was kicked down by Niu Jin who arrived later and stepped on the ground.

Ma Chao's face was pale. The courage to go forward to fight disappeared immediately. He retreated in panic and shouted in a hurry: "Retreat! Retreat!" Turning his horse's head, he retreated first. The defeat was like a mountain of fallen, and the Xiliang army, who had long been scared by the Changzhi army, immediately rushed to retreat as if they were amnesty.

When Niu Jin saw Ma Chao running, he was very anxious. He pushed up his face armor and roared loudly. He killed several people in his hand and chased Ma Chao. However, there were defeated soldiers slumped in front of him. Although Chang'an was sharp, he could not kill them all at once. He sighed, stopped his steps, and ordered the Chang'an army to come forward to cover the kill. The three thousand Chang'an army expanded its formation, transforming from three hundred rows to six hundred rows, lined up in five rows, like five continuous waves, rushing forward layer by layer, and hitting forward one after another.

Jia Xu on the city wall saw that the Xiliang army began to retreat, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had served as a Langguan in the capital, had seen the Changzhang used by the imperial guards, and also the Changzhang army led by Niu Jin. He knew that the Changzhang was powerful, but he did not expect that the Changzhang army would be so powerful. The Changzhang army protected by heavy armor almost became a beast without natural enemies. He was invincible and forced more than 10,000 cavalrymen in front of him.

In less than half an hour, Ma Chao's army was killed in blood and retreated step by step. Ma Chao's retreat was an opportunity to form an irresistible great defeat. The casualties of the Chang'er Army he saw were just a dozen soldiers knocked down with the flesh and blood of the war horses when the cavalry was still alive. After the cavalry lost their speed, they completely lost the threat to the Chang'er Army and became lambs to be slaughtered.

"No wonder the general asked the baggage battalion to prepare a large pot to cook horse meat before the battle. It turned out that there was so much horse meat to cook." Pang Tong suddenly laughed, turned his head to smile at Fa Zheng and Zhang Song beside him. Fa Zheng and Zhang Song smiled and nodded repeatedly. They did not expect that the Changqin army, which Cao Chong used the three thousand grain transporters as the cover, was as brave as a friend. In one battle, the almost impossible strategic goal of Xiliang was really realized under their planning. Ma Chao's army was defeated, and behind him were three thousand Changqin army who were still unsatisfied and four thousand dragon cavalry eager to try. His defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Ma Teng was sweating in cold sweat. He closed his eyes in pain, unable to bear to look at the miserable situation below. No matter how unfilial Ma Chao was, he was still his son. Although he swore in front of Cao Chong that he wanted to cut off the father-son relationship with Ma Chao, in his heart, he hoped that Ma Chao had a chance to succeed. Even until he saw the Three Thousand Long Terrain Army set up a formation under the city, he thought that Ma Chao had no chance at all. But now, everything is over.

Ma Bin was shocked and did not dare to delay any more. The murderous Changzhang Army had already chased after him, like a torrent of steel, flooding everything they encountered. Ma Bin had his liver and gallbladder, and turned around and left, and chased Ma Chao with hundreds of remaining soldiers.

Ma Chao was running wildly with his head down, not caring about others at all. There were only more than a thousand guards left beside him. Others were only concerned about their own escape. A large number of soldiers had lost their fighting spirit in the face of the fierce Cao army's ruthless killing and began to kneel down and surrender. Ma Chao didn't care either, but just whipped the war horse under his crotch and ran south to the death.

"Brother!" Ma Zong caught up with Ma Chao and shouted.

"Brother, are you here?" Ma Chao's expression on his face was very strange, mixed with redness.

"Yeah." Ma Zong shouted loudly: "Wangyuan has been lost, Yan Xing has arrived with 15,000 cavalry."

"Oh." Ma Chao was indifferent. After a while, he suddenly realized. He turned his head and looked at Ma Qian, his eyes full of fear: "Is Yan Xing coming? Ten thousand people?" Before Ma Qian could speak, he sucked the war horse hard, and ran away in a flash. Ma Qian looked at Ma Chao in surprise, who looked like a rabbit with a trampled tail. He shook his head repeatedly, and also sucked the war horse hard, and followed closely.

As Ma Chao and Ma Bird escaped, the killings under Shangri City gradually came to an end. Cao Chong ordered the dragon cavalry to chase Ma Chao. The other horses left the city to gather the surrendered soldiers and clean the battlefield. Nearly 20,000 soldiers died in both sides in this battle. If they were not cleaned up, it would easily cause plague. Especially those territories that were ravaged by the Changshen Army, there was almost no complete corpse wherever they went. The human corpse and the horse corpse were mixed together, and the supplies camp that picked up horse meat was very busy.

Hejiashan, Hao Zhao sat on the hillside with Jiang Xu with red eyes, quietly looking at the valley to the north. On the opposite hillside were Shuai Zeng and Zhu Shuo. Zhu Shuo now obeyed Shuai Zeng and almost handed over the military power in his hand.

The valley was quiet. Except for the Cao army's roar at the beginning, there was almost no sound on the battlefield twenty miles away. The world was so strange. Twenty miles were not far away, but there was blood flowing like a river, but it was as quiet as a paradise.

If there weren't a hint of murderous aura from the 8,000 troops lying here and bringing a hint of murderous aura, this place could be considered a leisure destination.

Hao Zhao sighed softly, turned around and patted Jiang Xu's shoulder comfortably. Jiang Xu's bones were as thin as a tree. He had not been in for several days. He sat here with his knife in his arms every day and looked north. If it weren't for Hao Zhao's stopping him, he would have run to Shangri-Chief City to fight with Ma Chao. It was Hao Zhao who told him confidently that the general of the chariot and cavalry would definitely defeat Ma Chao. Ma Chao had only one way to escape south. If you guard here, you would be more likely to take revenge with your own hands. After going to Shangri-Chief City, you might not even see Ma Chao, so he barely stayed here.

"Here you come." A personal guard suddenly pointed to the north and shouted loudly.

Hao Zhao turned around and saw a wisp of smoke and dust at the end of the valley. He quickly raised his eyes and looked carefully. In the circular vision, he saw a defeated soldier of about two thousand people running wildly. Without a flag, he couldn't see who it was, but he believed that it must be Ma Chao.
To be continued...
