More than 10,000 cavalry of Cao's army rushed in front, and the general led the army to use a big sword, which was Cao Hong.

Cao Hong led more than 10,000 cavalry straight towards Ma Chao, obviously intending to disperse the Northern Army before the Northern Army completed its defense circle.

If Cao Hong's cavalry cannot be blocked, the situation of the Northern Army will be very dangerous.

Ma Chao turned his head with the reins of the horse, raised his dragon cavalry spear and sang: "All cavalry follow me to fight! Ma Yue, step up the defense!" Ma Yue mentioned by Ma Chao is Ma Chao's deputy general. Although his surname is Ma, it has nothing to do with Ma Chao. He has always been a general in the Northern Army.

Ma Chao let out a long roar and urged Jueying war horses to take the lead in meeting the torrent of the cavalry of Cao's army. The iron hooves rolled behind him, and nearly three thousand cavalry followed closely behind. These three thousand cavalry were the elite cavalry under Ma Chao's command.

The two cavalry torrents were advancing, just like two surging waves. All the soldiers held their weapons high, shouted loudly, and the sound of horse hooves rumbling, which really gave people a shocking feeling of the sky falling and the earth breaking.

In the blink of an eye, two torrents rush together, accompanied by screams, and people were overturned.

Ma Chao took the lead, Jueying's war horse galloped high, and the dragon cavalry swung his lance left and right. Wherever he passed, there were invincible people.

These elite cavalry under Ma Chao's command were extremely powerful in combat and had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Cao army's cavalry. However, due to the large number of Cao army's cavalry, the cavalry of both sides fought together and could not stand the stalemate for a while.

Ma Chao, who was scattered among the ten thousand horses, noticed Cao Hong, who was leading the army and immediately rushed straight to Cao Hong. He killed soldiers and took generals along the way, but no one could stop him for a moment.

Cao Hong was shocked when he saw the cavalry of the Zhengbei Army so strong. He suddenly saw a general of the Zhengbei Army rushing towards him, and was even more shocked.

He quickly directed the two lieutenants around him to fight, and he followed behind to find opportunities.

Ma Chao passed between the two lieutenants like a sudden electric shock, and the dragon cavalry lance lifted two veins of lightning. Then blood appeared, and the two lieutenants fell from the war horse before they could scream.

Cao Hong was shocked and quickly turned his horse and ran away.

Ma Chao did not pursue him because the Cao army's brigade of infantry had already surrounded him.

He was fighting and retreating by the cavalry, and finally broke away from contact with the cavalry of Cao and returned to the mountain bag.

Although the battle just now was short, it was very fierce. The three thousand elite cavalry of the Northern Army lost nearly a thousand people, and the Cao army also paid the price of more than two thousand people. The Cao army's plan to disperse the Northern Army was not achieved.

When Ma Chao returned to the mountain bag, Ma Yue led the infantry to basically arrange a circular defense circle. The horse resisted was placed at the outermost periphery, followed by heavy shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, spear soldiers, sword shield soldiers, and horizontal sword warriors.

The main force of Cao's infantry quickly surrounded the mountain and stopped three hundred steps away.

Ma Chao immediately stood on a high place, looking at Cao's army, which was as dense as ant at the foot of the mountain, frowned. Ma Chao estimated the number of Cao's army, which was 70,000.

You have to find a way to break through!

Cao's army paused for a moment, and the sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and tens of thousands of Cao's army shouted loudly. The soldiers of the Northern Army couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Then ten thousand Cao's infantrymen escaped from the main formation and came to the mountain. The march was not fast, and the shield player was at the front.

When Cao's army reached a distance of 150 steps, the Northern Army began to shoot arrows. The rain of arrows drew a arc in the air. Then a sound of dingdong dong like a sudden rain sounded, which was the sound of arrows hitting the shield.

Some of the arrows hit the shield, while the other part fell behind Cao's army due to the slope of the hillside. It did not have any effect. Only a few arrows saw blood.

Ma Chao frowned. The crossbow was difficult to achieve the effect, so he could only rely on hand to resist Cao's attack!

Since the crossbowman was unable to play a role, Ma Chao simply transferred the crossbowman to the back.

About a quarter of an hour later, Cao's army rushed to the top of the mountain and roared excitedly, but they were greeted by a hedgehog-like long halberd formation.

The Cao army lined up a wall with shields and squeezed forward. The soldiers of the North Army roared and raised their halberds to push against Cao's shield. The two sides rushed together like two competing strong men.

Suddenly, it's trembling...

With a sound, a long halberd pierced a shield from Cao's army, and immediately stabbed Cao's army behind him to a deep heart. At almost the same time, a crack sounded, and it turned out that a long halberd suddenly broke into two pieces due to excessive force. The long halberd soldier lost his focus and rushed out and hit the other party's shield. Before he could react, the knife hand behind the shield stabbed out from the gap between the shields, resulting in the life of the long halberd soldier.

The soldiers on both sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and Ma Chao ordered the sword and shield hands to attack Cao's army from both sides.

The Cao army was obviously prepared for this, and the same sword and shield hands fought with the sword and shield hands of the Northern Army on both wings. The clanging sound of weapons colliding.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, another Cao army came up at the foot of the mountain. This Cao army also had about 10,000 people.

Ma Chao had no choice but to lead the elite cavalry to fight against this Cao army. The war horses charged down the hillside, and the momentum was like a mountain torrent. However, the Cao army was prepared for the cavalry charge of the Northern Army. The infantry front paused, and the spearmen were at the forefront. At the same time, the six thousand Cao army cavalry divided left and right to encircle Ma Chao's elite cavalry.

A battle was fierce and short. After paying most of the casualties, the elite cavalry under Ma Chao defeated the infantry in front of the front before the Cao army arrived.

The remaining eight hundred spirits returned to the formation, and everyone was covered in blood.

At this time, the 10,000 Cao troops who were attacking the camp of the Zhengbei Army retreated. The retreat was very orderly, and Ma Chao had no choice but to take advantage of it.

As the sun sets, Ma Chao looked at Cao's army with flags rolling up at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at the 800 cavalry beside him, and his heart sank.

Ma Chao didn't know at this moment that he was not the only unit ambushed by Cao's army. In Yecheng hundreds of miles away, 200,000 Cao's army had surrounded Yecheng. The tragic siege had lasted for a day, and both sides paid a considerable price.

The two generals stood on the city gate tower and looked at Cao Jun who was retreating like a tide outside the city, feeling heavy.

"General Gao Lan, how could so many Cao troops come to siege us? Could something happened to General Lu and his friends?" Gao Shun spoke, his face full of anxiety. Next to him was Gao Lan, who was responsible for guarding Yecheng.

Gao Lan shook his head and asked, "Have you released all the pigeons?"

"It's all released."

Gao Lan nodded, then said in a low voice: "I hope General Lu and the others are fine!"

Then he told Gao Shun: "How many people gathered together in the middle-aged people in the city?"

"There are about 20,000 people." Gao Shun replied, then hesitating.

"General Gao Shun, do you have any questions?" Gao Lan noticed Gao Shun's expression and asked.

"It's not good if we do this against the lord's purpose!" Gao Shun was quite worried.

Gao Lan said decisively: "It is an extraordinary moment now, so don't be stubborn! Our soldiers need to cultivate their spirits to fight. The people can only do the work of repairing the city walls!"

He paused and said, "Please send additional staff to watch over them in case they escape."

Gao Shun nodded, "I'm awake."

After a day of bloody battle, the soldiers of the Northern Army were very tired and lie on the city wall. Of course, the necessary patrols and guards still did not rest.

Most of the Northern Expedition Army had rested, but many people were still busy. These people were not the Northern Expedition Army, they were all the people in Yecheng. They were repairing the city walls under the supervision of the Northern Expedition Army.

Although these people were repairing the city walls for the Northern Army, their eyes always showed hatred inadvertently.

Chang'an General's Mansion.

Chen Chu, who was sleeping soundly in Diao Chan's arms, was suddenly awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"What's up?"
