Chapter 490 Ma Chao lost the city

In fact, in the early stage of the war with Liu Bei, Cao Cao wanted to take Beidai City with one go, but his idea was rejected by Sima Yi. Sima Yi thought that he would take Beida City sooner or later, but it was actually mature. As long as they take the North City, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will not take half a step into the Central Plains.

At present, in the dense forest, Sima Yi looked at the mottled light spots on the ground and said slowly to Zhang Liao, "General Zhang, after the battle of Duanlong Valley begins, you must leave a gap for Ma Chao's army..."

Zhang Liao, who is familiar with military tactics, also knows the truth of "encirclement must remain": if the fierce enemy is surrounded, it is bound to stimulate the other party's determination to die. In this way, under the mentality of death, the enemy's combat effectiveness will be instantly enhanced, which will cause unnecessary damage to his own side!

Zhang Liao also knew that Cao Jun began to say that he deliberately condoned Ma Chao to plunder the transport team and let it succeed again and again. All the indulgence is for this moment, let the paralyzed Ma Chao take it lightly, and then Cao's army can unexpectedly hit Ma Chao's army heavily, and at the same time pay less to occupy the northern city.

Beidaicheng is the birthplace of Zhang Xiu, a fierce general. His family has lived in Beidaicheng for more than 100 years and is the leading rich family in the local area. Therefore, the task of capturing the North City was handed over to Zhang Xiu. The army led by Zhang Xiu is the secret army in Cao Cao's hands - the Five-line Flying Army. The Five-e elements flying army is an enhanced version of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Its combat effectiveness and fighting methods are no less than that of the Wudang Flying Army under the command of Liu Bei and the trapped camp under the command of Taishi Ci. Each has its own advantages.

When Cao's grain transport team was about to reach Duanlong Valley, Sima Yi ordered Zhang Liao, "General Zhang, you can lead the vanguard troops to eliminate the secret whistles and scouts of the Xiliang Army!"

"Ye!" Zhang Liao bowed to take the order. Then, Zhang Liao led 400 tigers and leopards to sneak to the hidden place where the Xiliang army's secret whistles and scouts settled. After they killed all the secret sentries and scouts of the Xiliang Army near Duanlong Valley, Cao's transport team also arrived in Duanlong Valley on time. At the same time, Sima Yi led 20,000 tiger and leopard riders and quietly approached Duanlong Valley.

When half of the Cao army's transport team passed through the Duanlong Valley, the soldiers and soldiers who accompanied the army heard the earth-shaking sound of killing in the dense forest of the valley. The killing sound was everywhere, approaching the sound of the swaying horseshoe running fast... When the Cao army escorting the transport team gathered at the mouth of the Duanlong Valley with weapons, the Xiliang iron cavalry broke out like a mountain torrent. Rushing down from the low hillside, thousands of horses galloped, which was unstoppable.

Ma Chaosao was the first to rush into the formation of Cao's army. Wherever he passed by the horse, Cao's soldiers fell in rows, just like wheat met a sickle and died in an instant. When all the Xiliang iron cavalry were fighting with Cao's soldiers, the thunderous killing sound was thought of again near the Duanlong Valley.

When Ma Chao heard the sound, he saw Cao Zhang Liao leading a dense tiger and leopard horse rushing down from the hillside. At the same time, some oilcloths of some heavy trucks were also automatically lifted. The Cao soldiers hiding in it attacked the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with rockets. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry wearing heavy helmets were not afraid of the bow and arrows and arrows of ordinary soldiers. But the quenched arrows can make the skin of the heavy helmet connect on fire.

The problem is: the rockets fired by Cao Jun and soldiers, the arrows are also carrying small porcelain bottles with fuel. These porcelain bottles are crushed under force, and the ** in the porcelain bottles burn fiercely in case of fire...

Ma Chao saw that more and more iron cavalry fell under the enemy's rocket attack, and more and more horses were frightened and ran around. He knew that he was ambushed by Cao's army! He had time to order his subordinates to retreat. Zhang Liao led 20,000 tiger and leopard riders and joined the Xiliang iron cavalry.

Every time Zhang Liao took action, more than a dozen Xiliang iron cavalrymen were blown away. Gradually, nearly 20,000 tiger and leopard riders and 20,000 Cao army iron gunmen surrounded Ma Chao's army. Of course, only a few Cao soldiers blocked in front of Ma Chao.

"Zhong Erlang, follow the general!" Ma Chao shouted loudly and rushed forward. Seeing this, the Cao soldiers who blocked him fled in horror. With Ma Chao's order, Xiliang's generals changed from an offensive state to a retreat and followed Ma Chao to retreat in an orderly manner.

Seeing that his side was surrounded by tens of thousands of Cao soldiers, Ma Chao was a little panicked: because his beloved wife was in the nearby mountain forest at this time. If Cao Jun goes to sneak attack, the consequences will be unimaginable! Now, Ma Chao takes his beloved wife Xiangfei everywhere. At this time, Xiangfei has been pregnant for three months. Otherwise, Ma Chao will not let Xiangfei stay 100 meters away from him at all.

After Ma Chao broke out, he rushed to the hiding place where his beloved wife Xiangfei was alive, followed by Yang Qiu, Ma Xiu and others. When Ma Chao rushed to the place where Xiangfei was alive, he saw the bodies of dozens of halberd guards at a glance, and Xiangfei and hundreds of other halberd guards disappeared. At that moment, Ma Chao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he looked up to the sky and roared in panic and indignant...

Suddenly, there was also a wolf howl in front of the left. The wolf's howl was suppressed, which was clearly the signal of the connection between the Xiliang soldiers. Ma Chao followed the sound and rushed away.

After dozens of breaths, he rushed to a valley thousands of meters away. On the ground of the valley, the bodies of dozens of halberd guards were lying horizontally. Ren Qiang, who joined the army, fought with a young literati. The remaining dozens of halberds closely surrounded and protected the fragrant concubines with a relaxed expression...

Ma Chao's visual test: Ren Qiang is obviously not Sima Yi's opponent, because in the quiet confrontation between the two, Sima Yi can also cast spells to kill the halberd guard. Ma Chao once fought with Ren Qiang. Once Ren Qiang's spell was cast, it looked ordinary on the surface, but Ma Chao could feel the depression in the deep water at that time. Ren Qiang's Taoist attack began from the inside of the opponent's body, which was completely different from the direction of Ma Chao, who was a martial artist... Finally, Ma Chao relied on Chao. The unique body method, when the body is in extreme pain, quickly approaches Ren Qiang, and puts the blade against the throat of Ren Qiang, who can't avoid it, so that he can defeat Ren Qiang.

According to Ren Qiang, if it is a confrontation between two Taoist masters, even if the double hairs are static, the aura formed by the duel cannot be approached by ordinary people. The content of the duel is also sword shadow, wind, rain, thunder and lightning... If the failure side is light, it will consume the cultivation, and if it is serious, it will vaporize and disappear in an instant!

The monk who fought against Ren Qiang felt Ma Chao's murderous spirit, so he cast a spell and ran away without looking back. Ma Chao had rushed behind the young scribes with a gun. He was about to help Ren Qiang kill the young scribe. The young scribe's body suddenly disappeared after a burst of water lines.

Ren Qiang, who lost his opponent, was hit hard by the reaction of the mana before he could collect his strength. He snorted, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood. Seeing this, Ma Chao did not search for the whereabouts of the young scribes, so he flew to Ren Qiang's side.

Ren Qiang Taishou erased the blood from the corners of his mouth and ate a elixirs. After that, he opened his eyes and said weakly to Ma Chao, "General, the young scribe just now is Sima Yi, the chief counselor under Cao Mengde! His five-e elements array spell is really powerful... General, not long after you led the army, Sima Yi appeared in front of us. His intention is to take Xiangfei away..."

At this time, Xiangfei had come to Ma Chao's side and gently leaned against Ma Chao's arms. At the same time, more and more iron cavalry gathered around Ma Chao. Even if they were defeated and fled, these iron cavalry still maintained a neat team.

Ma Chao just wanted to order the surviving halberd bodyguard Ren Qiang to support the war horse. Ren Qiang said to Ma Chao, "General, when Sima Yi appeared in front of me, I knew that the general was ambushed by Cao's army... General, according to the analysis of the current military situation and situation, it is estimated that the northern city was also occupied by the Cao army at this time... ".

Ma Chao heard this, and the tiger's body shook slightly. However, when he thought about it, he felt that Ren Qiang's guess was extremely reliable. In the end, Ma Chao could only take the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers from the mountains to Liangzhou. Since then, Ma Chao, who lost seven or 8,000 soldiers and lost the North City, withdrew from the battle for hegemony between Cao and Liu.

A few days later, when Liu Bei learned that Ma Chao led the army far away from the battlefield of Fufeng County, he could only acquiesce.

Fufeng County is located in the west of Chang'an City, and the two cities are more than 200 miles apart; the northern city is located in the north of Chang'an City, and the two cities are 400 miles apart. Fufeng County and Beidi City are both cities in Liangzhou. As Ren Qiang expected, when Ma Chao could not stop the ** of Cao's grain transportation team and decided to plunder Cao's grain transportation team in Duanlong Valley, Zhang Xiu led the five-five-line tiger and leopard cavalry to the North City.

Zhang Xiu has known for a long time about the military deployment of Beidi City: the Xiliang generals and soldiers guarding the city are only 3,000, of which 2,000 troops are gathered at the south gate of Beidi City. On the road with the five-eed tiger and leopard riding, Zhang Xiu saw the magic of the five-eed tiger and leopard riding for the first time: the five-eed tiger and leopard riding has an invisible effect. Looking from the outside, the neat formation of the five elements of tigers and leopards is just a mass of fog. Even if they gallop quickly, they can't hear the rapid sound of horses' hoofs. In this way, even if Zhang Xiu doesn't understand the five-e elements array spell, he is located in the center of the team. Because of the fog, outsiders can't see his figure...

Zhang Xiu also asked Cao Chun, the deputy leader of the five elements of tiger and leopard riding, about the mystery. Cao Chun is also the one who broke through the bottleneck of cultivation, successfully entered the innate realm, and became a super fierce general... The orthodox leader of the five-element tiger and leopard riding is Cao Zhang. However, at this time, Cao Zhang was on the battlefield in Runan.

Cao Chun said to him**: When marching in the five elements, the cavalry who are good at water spells and fire spells create fog, and then the earth spells use the energy of the earth to absorb the sound of the war horses running... The cavalry who are proficient in gold spells and wind spells are responsible for attacking!

According to Cao Chun, these cavalrymen with special skills are one in a million. Even so, they can only practice one spell, and Sima Yi, a genius, can practice five spells of gold, wood, water, fire and earth at the same time. The general five elements of arms he specially trained are not as mysterious as the five elements of tiger and leopard riding. But it can deal with Zhuge Liang's gossip arms.

Finally, Cao Chun sighed: Who would have thought that the princes of all parties have fought for hegemony so far, and only the three hegemons have remained, and these three hegemons have cavalry with extraordinary combat effectiveness, the five-line flying army under the command of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, the Wudang flying army under the command of Liu Bei, and the fall under the command of Taishi Ci, the king of Wu.
