Blocking sun broke?

Ma Chao looked at the soldiers in front of him, but he was not angry.

There were only 3,000 people in Duyang, and they were not elite. Without a strong general, they were defeated by Cao's army. Ma Chao had already guessed in his heart last night, so he wanted to make a desperate attempt to capture and kill Cao Cao, then everything would be fine. .

"General, withdraw your troops!" The lieutenant sighed, and as soon as the blockage was broken, he couldn't defend, so he could only return to Wancheng to defend it and let it go.

"Can't withdraw!" Ma Chao was very calm at the moment, and the whole person felt like he had grown up all of a sudden.

He was really calm, and he knew very well that this retreat would not only break the defense line on his side, but more importantly, if he retreated, he would hand over Wei Yan and Gao Shun's rear to Cao Cao, and the entire Nanyang front line could collapse.

"But our army only brought food and grass for today. If we don't retreat, there is no danger to defend. How can we fight?" The lieutenant frowned.

The troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first, there is no food and grass, and they are caught between Cao Cao's two armies.

Ma Chao was also thinking about this question, looked at the soldiers who had retreated from Duyang, and asked, "How many people did Duyang lure? Who will lead the troops?"

"Returning to the general, let's not say that there are ten thousand troops. It is led by Cao Jun's general Le Jin, who is extremely brave." The defeated general said bitterly.

If there are no siege equipment and Cao's reinforcements may arrive at any time, let alone the surprise attack just last night, even if there is no siege equipment, it is impossible to break through Duyang.

"Gamble!" Ma Chao looked at the corpses all over the ground, and called his lieutenant: "You lead your troops to flee and pretend to retreat to Bowang, and I will lead the trapped camp and pretend to be Cao Jun to pursue and see if we can cheat. Open the gate."

If it can be natural, it is best. If not, then it will be a bandit and grass bandit. In short, it cannot be retreated. This retreat may be the entire Nanyang.

In addition, Ma Chao asked Biyang to report the situation on Wei Yan's side and let him make plans earlier.

The lieutenant nodded in agreement and turned around to make arrangements. It would be best if he could regain Du Yang.

There is no need to act. After such a tossing last night, although the soldiers were reorganized, their morale was not shaken for a while. Under the command of the lieutenant, they retreated to Duyang in a mess, and then walked around the city.

Ma Chao took the soldiers of the trap camp and changed into Cao Jun's armor, and handed the rhino leather armor to the deputy general. After the two sides separated, they looked like they were chasing and fleeing. After arriving at Duyang, the deputy general walked directly around the city. , Ma Chao came to Duyang City with the trapped camp after changing his clothes.

"Kaesong!" Ma Chao came to the castle with a tired face, but his voice was full of anger.

On the tower, Le Jin had already heard the report of his subordinates, and came to the top of the city to watch. When he saw this group of men and horses coming over, the armor was clearly a tiger and a leopard. Even if you call someone to open the city gate.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" Someone on the tower looked over and asked casually.

Ma Chao frowned and raised his head. He had already heard someone opening the city gate. At this time, the other party asked questions, but it was not good not to answer them, so as not to be seen by the other party, he said casually, "I am under General Xu Chu's account."

He knew the names of the generals of Cao Jun, but Xu Chu was the one who impressed him the most. After all, apart from Lu Bu, there were not many princes who could fight with him.

Hearing that, Le Jin believed it a little bit. Wasn't it Cao Chun and Xu Chu who ambushed along the way?

However, Le Jin soon realized that something was wrong. Hubaoqi was an elite directly under Cao Chun. He claimed to be Hubaoqi or Cao Chun's account. How could it be Xu Chu's account?

"Don't open the door!" Le Jin, who had reacted, shouted fiercely.

But at this time, the city gate had been opened by a crack. Hearing Le Jin shouting angrily, Ma Chao did not say a word. With a spear in his hand, he had stabbed the city gate into the crack and blocked the city gate. The two generals of the trapped camp quickly stepped forward. One step, supporting the city gate, all the force, at the same time someone shot a loud arrow to the sky.

In a hurry, the city gate was squeezed out of a gap that allowed one person to pass through, but immediately began to want to push out.

Between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao took a step forward and rushed into the city gate at the moment when the city gate was closed again.

Cao Jun, who was about to close the city gate, was about to speak, but a cold light swept out and wiped the opponent's throat, but Ma Chao drew his sword to kill him, and then stabbed him with a backhand. , swayed the weapons of the two Cao troops who were attacking, and took the opportunity to bump forward, knocking the two away.

The long spear swept back and immediately swept the three Cao soldiers away, and then drew the spear and used the barrel of the spear to fly out the top of the Cao soldiers who rushed up behind him.

The cave of the city gate is obviously not suitable for the use of a weapon like a spear, but Ma Chao still can't lift his head under the pressure of more than a dozen Cao troops. After occupying the gate of the city, it was a series of crossbow shots against the incoming Cao army, driving these Cao army out of the gate of the city.

At the same time, the lieutenant in the distance was greeted by the sound of arrows here, and immediately waved his troops towards this side to kill.

Le Jin attacked the city overnight, and only managed to capture this block of Yang this morning. Now that the city he just got has not yet warmed up, the enemy army disguised himself as his own family and seized the city gate. This made him want to, and immediately blew the sound. With the horn, the soldiers of the three armies gathered here to kill, and at the same time personally led people down the city, wanting to retake the city gate.

Le Jin's stature is not high, but he is extremely brave, and he is not afraid even in the face of elites like the trapped camp.

But the equipment of the trap camp was too good. Because it couldn't be used all of a sudden, under Ma Chao's command, ten people formed a row and took turns to shoot arrows outside the city gate, but unexpectedly formed a very violent arrow net. Even if Ma Yanshi wants to break through, he can't rush in.

The lieutenant led the troops and horses rushing in, Ma Chao immediately ordered the lieutenant to take the soldiers of the trap camp to grab the city gate up and down, and he led the army to kill the Cao army led by Le Jin.

Le Jin finally had a chance to fight, and without saying a word, he led Cao Jun and collided with the Nanyang army led by Ma Chao.

Cao Jun fought endlessly from yesterday to tonight. Although he seized the city, he was exhausted. The Nanyang Army marched overnight, and was killed by tigers and leopards on the way. Killing together at this moment, it cannot be said that the chess is an opponent, but it is similar.

The leaders of both sides were all brave and good at fighting, and under their leadership, they managed to gain some morale.

The two quickly noticed each other. In the chaos of the army, Ma Chao took the lead in killing Le Jin. Le Jin had no horse. He grabbed a Nanyang soldier and threw it at Ma Chao, and at the same time he stabbed Ma Chao's horse with a shot.

When Ma Chao saw that the other party had lost someone and swung his gun away, he saw the savage gun that stabbed his beloved horse. He quickly tightened the reins, and the horseman stood up, avoiding the gun from Le Jin. At the same time, the two The horse's hoof with the big mouth of the bowl stepped on Le Jin's head.

Le Jin stabbed the air with a shot, quickly backed away, and stabbed Ma Chao on the horse with another shot.

At this time, the war horse had stopped, and Ma Chao couldn't use the speed of the horse, but he didn't need to use it. When he saw the opponent's gun coming, he backhanded and pushed it again. While blocking the opponent's spear, he stabbed Le Jin again.

The icy blade of the spear swept across Le Jin's chest, bringing a stream of sparks and a few shattered leaves.

Le Jin's chest was tight, and he took two steps back. Ma Chao took advantage of the situation and rushed forward to knock him flying. Le Jin quickly speared in front of him, followed by the painful neigh of the war horse, and Le Jin was knocked down. It flew out and took a piece.

When Ma Chao was about to pursue the victory, Le Jin had already tumbled into the crowd, the horse's hoof fell mercilessly, and the two Cao Jun soldiers who had no time to escape were directly trampled by the horse's hoof, their chest and abdomen collapsed, their eyes wide open, and they screamed in pain. I couldn't make it out, but my limbs stretched forward stiffly, as if trying to push the horse away.

Ma Chao didn't care about this. After he stabbed the approaching Cao Jun to death with one shot, he searched for Le Jin, but there was no trace of him.

But after Le Jin avoided Ma Chao, he saw that the enemy army had already occupied the city gate.

Originally, after fighting hard all night, we finally won, but suddenly the city gate was captured again, and Cao's army was scattered all over the city, but the other party poured in from one city gate. As more and more Nanyang troops poured in, they scattered. Cao's army was naturally unable to resist.

Although he was unwilling, the situation was over, and Le Jin could only take Cao's army to fight and retreat, and exit from the other side of the city gate.

done!

With Cao Cao's withdrawal from Duyang, Ma Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Cao Cao's calculations were taken, he did not let Cao Cao directly attack Nanyang, and the Nanyang line of defense was still there.

For a moment, Ma Chao felt that his heart seemed to be much lighter.

Finally, without the trust of the general.

But when the lieutenant reported the number of defenders in the city, Ma Chao couldn't smile.

The six hundred trap camp did not lose much~lightnovelpub.net~ but the ordinary soldiers were less than six thousand at this time.

When he came, it was only 12,000. It had only been a few days. Not only did the trapped camp suffer the biggest loss in history, but Gao Shun lost most of the soldiers he had given him.

"General, I'm lucky to be able to retake Duyang." The lieutenant looked at Ma Chao and knew what the other party was thinking, and sighed.

To be honest, he never thought that Du Yang could be recaptured, and probably Cao Jun didn't expect that Ma Chao would want to retake Du Yang at this time. Ma Chao's performance after the defeat was quite dazzling.

To regain Duyang, not to mention make up for it, but at least keep Nanyang.

The most important thing is that Ma Chao now feels more secure than before, with some general demeanor.

"Count the supplies in the treasury, clean up the battlefield, and let the soldiers take turns to defend the city." Ma Chao did not relax. This time was the most vulnerable time for the soldiers, so for the next two days, he guarded the city without sleep until After the morale has stabilized, I can relax and rest...
