Chapter 246

But what Ma Chao didn't know was not so easy to guess! The battle between princes and the world was not only due to the collision between the army, but also to deceit in private! Ma Chao was okay in war, but in the face of these deceits, he was far from being deceived! So it was normal for him to be cheated by Li Ru again! Ma Chao believed Li Ru's statement, left Hangu Pass, turned east, and prepared to follow Li Ru's plan to rescue his father first, and then find a way to return to Xiliang!

Ma Chao took the Ma family army to Cao Cao's territory! Now it is almost deserted in the Sili area east of Hangu Pass. (_) After Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics, the princes entered the capital, and Liu Bin took away the millions of people in Luoyang, and later it suffered many wars here! So when he found the most prosperous place in the Han Dynasty, it turned into a deserted place! The Xiliang army was just guarding the west of Hangu Pass and was unable to advance eastward! It was great that Zhang Xiu was able to occupy a Wancheng, so he did not have the ability to restore Sili! As for Yuan Shu, he was fighting for Yangzhou with all his might and did not have the time to put it here! The only one who had the ability and the intention to occupy Sili was left Cao Cao!

However, the private areas are now deserted. To restore the prosperity of Sili, it not only requires a large population, but also a large amount of materials and money. The population is indifferent to Cao Cao, but now his territory lacks food and money, and he cannot make up for the need to restore Sili for a while! Besides, Sili has occupied it and has not yet had much experience in investing, so Cao Cao is also a little embarrassed! After occupying Sili, he has to find a way to reply to him, otherwise, he will waste his troops in vain! If he doesn't occupy it, there is still a little no way to explain it. After all, this is the capital of the country before the Han Dynasty! At this time, Cao Cao and the Xiliang army formed an alliance. Cao Cao did not completely occupy Sili on the grounds that the two families needed a buffer zone, but only occupied some places close to Yanzhou and Yuzhou to the east of Sili!

Cao Cao was too lazy to care about those uninhabited areas in Sili, so Luyang City became the first city under Cao Cao to arrive. "Young master. Luyang City is ahead. Should we call Guan as planned?" Pang De asked Ma Chao softly. Ma Chao also knew that success or failure would be here. So he nodded with a twelve-point spirit and said, "Okay. Call Guan as planned." Pang De immediately walked out of the forefront and rushed to Luyang City and shouted loudly: "Listen to the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Someone is Pang De of Xiliang. We are the troops of the prefect of Xiliang Ma Teng. Now, General Dong is sent to help Prime Minister Cao defend Guandu. Passing here, open the door quickly and make the way out."

As Pang De shouted, in a short while, golden drums sounded and a team of people rushed out in a mighty manner. The leader was a general, with a red iron helmet, bronze armor, a green cong horse under his crotch, a large phoenix tail knife in his palm, a coach and a supervising flag behind him, and a big word "Cao". Without waiting for Ma Chao and others to wonder why he should have received a letter from Li Ru, Cao Cao City did not greet him as planned? Instead, he sent him to

Many troops. The general on the opposite side rushed out of the formation and shouted loudly: "This general is Cao Hong, the general under Prime Minister Cao! You and others rebel, don't talk about it. You and others' tricks. Li Ru had already informed my prime minister that Ma Teng had already learned that now. Now Ma Teng has been killed. You and others leave the Ma clan and the court's defeat. Other irrelevant people will dismount and surrender quickly. My prime minister will be very kind and can spare you and wait for death!"

It turned out that after Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, he knew that Ma Chao and others could come over at any time and threaten him. So he took down the troops in a difficult situation and handed them over to Cao Hong. Let him here to resist the Ma family army! Of course, it would be even better if he could destroy the Ma family army! "Oh!" Ma Chao, who suddenly heard the bad news of his father, shouted, his eyes turned black, and he fell from the horse with a fall!

Ma Dai quickly rescued with red eyes. Pang De in front of the formation roared: "You nonsense!" and rushed over. (Cao Hong returned to the scene. The two fought together. Ma Dai slapped for a long time, and Ma Chao woke up slowly and said with a sob: "Dad! I'm sorry for you. I've been hit by Li Ru's trick. I'll definitely use Li Ru's thousands of swords to comfort Dad's spirit in heaven!" "Brother, let's be sad. Now we are still on the battlefield!" Ma Dai advised!

As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he jumped up and flew onto a horse. He rushed towards Cao Hong like a madman! At this time, Ma Chao's eyes were no longer like human eyes. Ma Chao shouted in a series of words: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" At this time, Cao Hong was fighting with Pang De in a difficult way. Seeing that Ma Chao was stabbing in his chest, Cao Hong hurriedly used a gun to block it. Although Cao Hong was also a powerful general, she could only be considered a second-rate general! It was good to be able to fight with Pang De in a difficult way! At this time, because of his anger, Ma Chao's combat power rose sharply and immediately became a super Saiyan. At this time, even if Cao Hong fought alone, he was not Ma Chao's opponent, let alone against two?

There was only a loud "clang" sound. Cao Hong's sword did not completely block Ma Chao's gun. Ma Chao's spear tip was slightly tilted downward. Ma Chao's shot was placed on Cao Hong's thigh with a "puff". The fish scales and skirt on Cao Hong's thigh didn't work at all. Ma Chao pulled it out casually, and it was a big hole. It hurt that Cao Hong groaned and ran away with a horse.

Ma Chao was officially angry and red in his eyes. Seeing Cao Hong, the enemy who killed his father, was about to escape, how could Ma Chao agree? Ma Chao chased him then! Ma Chao pointed his spear tip directly at Cao Hong's vest, which might take Cao Hong's life at any time! Cao Hong is Cao Cao's clan brother, Cao Cao's confidant general, and Cao Cao's life savior. Seeing that he was in danger, Cao's army's people naturally came out to save him quickly! But unfortunately, the Sili area was not the main defense area of ​​Cao's army. In the previous battle of Guandu and Xuzhou, most of the generals of Cao's army were transferred to these main places. There were even more military generals in private areas that could be taken! It was Cao Hong or Cao Cao who finally sent it out this time!

Cao Hong, a guy who is known as a powerful general in the Cao army, cannot stop Ma Chao and Pang De, let alone the remaining unknown people! Although five or six generals ran out at once to rescue Cao Hong, Ma Chao was seriously injured and dying! In the process, Cao Hong was thrust by Ma Chao again, and he was seriously injured and dying!

He killed several generals and seriously injured Cao Hong. Ma Chao was not relieved. He rushed into the Cao army's army alone and started a massacre! Ma Dai, who was behind, naturally knew that if Ma Chao was allowed to charge in this way, it would definitely be over, so he quickly commanded the army and attacked the Cao army's army together! Cao Hong led the Cao army this time, in fact, only 50,000 or 60,000 people, not much more than the Ma family army! But most of the Ma family army were cavalry. Tens of thousands of cavalry attacked together, so this scene was not something that the people from the second-line troops of the Cao army could deal with? To be honest, most of the Cao army had never seen tens of thousands of cavalry charge together! Tens of thousands of cavalry charge together, not everyone could face the scene calmly!

What's more, the second-line troops of the Cao army. What's more, the injured and the deaths are already in a state of no command! The people from the second-line troops are not valued much, and they are just trying to make a living. Since no one is commanded, they cannot go up to die! They cannot be afraid of sacrifice for Prime Minister Cao's great cause! Those are all fake. Only their own lives are real! So when they see the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging, the people of the Cao army turned around and ran away! Running alone, they turned into the entire army! No one wants to resist the Ma family army! The defeat is like a mountain, and no one can save the defeat under such circumstances.

From Pang De's call to lock up to Cao Hong's army's defeat, in a short time, blood had already covered the earth. When Cao Hong's army fled back to Luyang City with all his heart and courage, the blood also dyed the moat of Luyang City red. People crowded, pushed people, and stepped on people. In order to escape into the city, Cao Hong's remnants did not need Ma Chao's troops to take action. They killed each other in front of the city gate, and killed countless casualties. The rest were also crowded into a pile on the suspension bridge and in the city gate.

This squeeze was broken. When Cao Hong was defeated, the generals who stayed in Luyang were preparing to go out of the city to pick up Cao Hong and block Ma Chao's army. But at this moment, the city gate was completely blocked, and those who wanted to go out could not go out, and those who wanted to come in could not come in. The remaining soldiers who were sandwiched between the city gate and wanted to escape their lives even fought against the left-behind troops and dispersed the formation of the left-behind troops. When the left-behind generals found Cao Hong and others in the chaos, they had already seen that the chaos was definitely not the time to go out of the city to compete with Ma Chao, but at this time, they could not even close the city gate. Moreover, due to the chaos of Cao Hong's troops and the troops wasted too much time at the city gate, Ma Chao's troops rushed up.

Although Ma Chao was a little crazy at this time, Ma Dai, Pang De and the others were not confused at all. How could this pie fall from the sky be easily let go? Ma Dai quickly organized his subordinates to take the opportunity to attack the city. Pang De rushed to the near the suspension bridge, took the knife and cut off the rope on the suspension bridge. He rushed to Luyang City first, occupied the city gate, and called on his subordinates to enter the city to fight. The general who stayed in Luyang saw that Ma Chao's troops were unstoppable. In an irreversible situation, he protected Cao Hong and others and fled from the East City with the remaining defeated generals. Cao Cao's Luyang City was actually occupied by Ma Chao by a devil. And it was broken in a short time, and it was also broken by a group of cavalry! This was a very surprising thing!

The senior officials of Youzhou who were listening to Jia Xu telling these things were all a little surprised when they heard it! This is incredible! Luyang City is also a strong city, but it was actually broken like this? It's so dramatic! Youzhou Iron Cavalry is known as the best in the world, but they have never broken through the city like this! This matter has to be out of the way! And after knowing the process, sometimes it's a little funny and crying! It's very surprising to say, but when you think about it carefully, it's not very surprising! On the battlefield of the cold weapon era, the morale of the army is very important! When the commander is unconscious and there is no one to command, the morale of the army is completely gone. A group of infantry faces a group of cavalry, and naturally turns around and runs away! The army is blindly obedient. If one runs alone, the entire army will run away! This is what it means!

In fact, it was not just Liu Bin and the others who were shocked when they heard the news that Luyang City was captured like this! Even Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the news! His first reaction was that this was impossible! In Cao Cao's view, Ma Chao was just an unknown soldier. His cousin Cao Hong was a brave and invincible general, and he had many generals under his command. How could he be defeated by Ma Chao? Moreover, according to the report of the Dissertation, Ma Chao's troops were not large, only more than 40,000; and Ma Chao did not carry much food and grass. Even if Cao Hong could not defeat Ma Chao, just with the 50,000 troops he gave Cao Hong and the 30,000 defenders of Luyang, it was more than twice that of Ma Chao's troops. Luyang City itself was also high in the city and thick in the city. How could Ma Chao take the city even? Cao Cao was puzzled.

Indeed! From the perspective of military deployment alone, Cao Hong's troops are definitely more people than Ma Chao's troops. Cao Hong only went out of the city to fight Ma Chao's troops, so he would definitely be stronger than Ma Chao's troops. Cao Hong's own deployment was also good. He did not try his best to attack Ma Chao, but only used most of the troops to fight Ma Chao. There were still some soldiers and horses left in Luyang City. Cao Hong's layout generally prevented Luyang City from being attacked by sneak attacks.

But! It is said that one soldier will be a clutch. Because Ma Chao's reputation was not yet obvious at this time, Cao Cao, Cao Hong and others did not take Ma Chao seriously. Moreover, Cao Hong's careless battle caused Cao Hong's main generals to be injured and killed one after another. Cao Hong's command system was completely out of control. In the chaos, he was successfully attacked by Ma Dai, Pang De and others. That was not new at all.

At this time, Cao Cao was like an ant on a hot pan. Although Cao Cao felt that Cao Hong's failure was incredible, no matter what, Cao Hong's failure and Luyang's failure had become an unchangeable fact. Cao Cao had no time to think about why he was waiting for messy things. Cao Hong's failure had a great blow to Cao Cao, which completely disrupted Cao Cao's strategic deployment!

Although Cao Cao had a lot of troops at the beginning, it was more than 500,000 soldiers. However, in the battle of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Chen Gong's rebellion, coupled with the attack of Youzhou's troops, this allowed Cao Cao's troops to quickly complete the strategic plan of streamlining the troops and decomposing troops. Although this allowed Cao Cao to get rid of the problem of insufficient military rations, Cao Cao, who spanned three states, was confused about insufficient troops. Xuzhou. There was temporarily Cao Cao's granary, but the people of Xuzhou and the prominent clans of Xuzhou had a great grudge with Cao Cao. No matter when the massacre of the city would be plagued with a lot of hatred! When Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, the situation was critical and could not take care of so much. But now to calm down, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had to set up a hundred thousand troops to guard in Xuzhou at all times, so as to intimidate the people and prominent clans of Xuzhou, so as not to cause any chaos.

Cao Cao's Yanzhou was the foundation of Cao Cao. It was even more important. However, in order to alleviate the pressure of military rations, Cao Cao confiscated many wealthy families in Yanzhou. Although Cao Cao's people among the people of Yanzhou are expected to grow, the other wealthy families in Yanzhou were moved by this. Moreover, Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu were on the side, Cao Cao had to guard against it. In this way, at least 100,000 soldiers and horses could not be reduced or moved. At the beginning, Yan Liang's 50,000 people could not stop the Youzhou army in Guandu, which made Cao Cao have to send more heavy troops in Guandu. Xiahou Yuan, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's soldiers were all ordered to be transferred there, and that was another 100,000 soldiers and horses could not be moved.

If this calculation is made, Cao Cao would not have so many troops and horses, and he could mobilize them at will! Cao Hong's 50,000 people were all the guards recruited by Cao Cao. Now Cao Hong has failed, where can Cao Cao find people for a while? Cao Cao could not withdraw enough troops to replace Cao Hong and stop Ma Chao. It is hard to cook without rice! Cao Cao has great skills, but he has no choice but to let him command without massage!

In desperation, Cao Cao ordered: "I ordered Cao Hong to stay on the spot for twenty-five days. After twenty-five days, if there are no reinforcements, he will withdraw with him and be punished. Within twenty-five days, if he loses again, all the generals of the camp will be executed! If the reinforcements arrive after twenty-five days, the previous crime will be exempted and there will be rewards." It would be a helpless move for Cao Cao to pass such an order. Cao Cao had to take advantage of these days to gather some troops from the defenders in Yanzhou. If it really doesn't work, Cao Cao could only accept his head and let Ma Chao in fight the local war. At that time, Cao Cao would not care about the losses caused to Cao Cao in the mainland.

Originally, local combat is a taboo for military strategists! Because in local combat, no matter whether you lose, win or be destroyed, it is all your own things! Especially Cao Cao sorted out the current situation! Yanzhou area has just experienced Liu Bei's rebellion, and finally calmed down, and is resting and resting and restoring construction! Xuzhou area was also a fierce battle and was slaughtered in the city! It is even more necessary to rest and recuperate! As for Sili and Yuzhou, there is no need to mention where Sili and Yuzhou! If Ma Chao's Ma family army is invaded at this time, there will be countless losses. Things that have been recovered for a while ago may be destroyed again! So Cao Cao doesn't want the war to burn his chassis! To be continued...
