Chapter 1073: A confused face
At this time, the county seat of Liyang was still closed, and Xu Chu's men and horses did not defeat the county seat of Liyang, so even if these reinforcements approached, it was impossible to enter the city directly.
If you think about the idea of chasing Zhao Yun, it is impossible for Zang Ba and Guan Hai to really implement it.
After Zhao Yun retreated, they also retreated some distance.
At this time, Zhao Yun also returned to the outside of the city to meet Xu Chu's soldiers and horses.
Xu Chu led his soldiers and horses to attack the county seat of Liyang, and the 20,000 foot soldiers launched several rounds of crazy attacks, but they were unable to defeat this county seat of Liyang.
encountered the stubborn resistance of Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong and others.
Xu Chu, who had just retreated from outside the city, glanced at Zhao Yun, who had also fled back.
Quite surprised.
"General Zilong, why did you retreat, could it be that you have beaten back all those who supported you?"
Seeing Zhao Yun, Xu Chu's first thought was not that Zhao Yun was defeated and returned, but that Zhao Yun had defeated those who came to support Liyang County.
But Zhao Yun's face immediately became gloomy, and he shook his head ugly.
Only then did Xu Chu realize that something was wrong.
Asked in a panic.
"Could it be that something happened?"
"The enemy army is so strong that they have repelled all my White Horse Castle."
Under Xu Chu's questioning, Zhao Yun had no choice but to explain to him.
As soon as this news came out, Xu Chu's face immediately changed.
"What! Is this true? ”
"It's true, my soldiers and horses have suffered heavy casualties, but I'm afraid that more than half of the battle just now will be lost."
Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, and when he said these words to Xu Chu, he was extremely unconvinced.
This is the soldier and the horse is his most trusted white horse servant, and he is the one who adjusts it himself. Taught out the cavalry.
Zhao Yun thought to himself that they would not be weaker than any kind of cavalry in the world.
But they were defeated by a group of infantry.
What a shame it was for Zhao Yun.
But I have to accept this fact.
When Xu Chu heard the news, he was extremely shocked.
It seems a little hard to accept.
After repeatedly confirming with Zhao Yun, after hearing Zhao Yun's affirmative answer, he had to accept this fact as well.
"General Xu Chu, how are you doing here? Did you lay Liyang? ”
Zhao Yun asked rhetorically.
After Xu Chu heard this, he also shook his head.
showed a look of unwillingness.
"I didn't take Liyang City, the defenders in this city were extremely stubborn, and I organized several waves of attacks, but I couldn't break through the city gates."
Xu Chu is also the same as Zhao Yun, this time the battle has not been able to make any progress.
The two of them are so combined, this pot is going to be thrown to Ma Chao again.
It's all because of Ma Chao.
If it weren't for Ma Chao to let reinforcements in, they would definitely be able to launch a general attack on this small county town of Liyang, and it would not be a problem at all to capture Liyang.
Now this situation is the reason for Ma Chao.
"Ma Chao, it's all his fault, let these reinforcements come, this time when I go back, I will definitely tell General Yide where to talk about him."
Ma Chao was returning to Liyang County with his soldiers and horses, and yawned coldly on the way.
"Yawn."
Ma Chao loosened his nose.
He frowned again, a little puzzled.
"Huh? It's only May, why are you still a little cold? ”
Ma Chao didn't pay attention to so much, and with the remaining eight thousand cavalry, carrying Wen Chou's head, he was about to return to Liyang County to celebrate his achievements.
Ma Chao also thought that he had killed Wen Chou and stopped the 20,000 troops supporting Liyang from Yecheng, and the battle on Liyang's side should have ended.
Most of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu's army has also attacked Liyang.
He took the men and horses, and led the people, and entered the scope of Liyang County.
I thought that I should enter Liyang directly, but I saw that the soldiers and horses of Zhao Yun and others were still outside Liyang City.
He was puzzled, and with great doubts, he came to the barracks of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu and others.
"General Zilong, General Zhongkang, why haven't you launched an attack on Liyang yet?"
As soon as Ma Chao came in, he directly asked Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
Zhao Yun and Xu Chu are still summing up, and when Ma Chao comes back, how to blame Ma Chao, and now they suddenly see Ma Chao coming back.
Xu Chu took the lead in looking at Ma Chao, and as soon as he saw Ma Chao, he immediately became angry.
"Okay, Ma Chao, you still have the face to come back and ask why we didn't attack Liyang, and I plan to ask you, why did you let those enemy reinforcements in?"
Ma Chao: "??? ”
Ma Chao looked confused, and he didn't know what Xu Chu was talking about.
"General Zhongkang, what are you talking about? What did I let the enemy's reinforcements come in, but I didn't let in the enemy's reinforcements, those soldiers and horses in Yecheng were all killed by me at the mouth of the canyon, and I only killed more than 20,000 enemies at the cost of 2,000 men and horses. ”
Ma Chao said while still being a little arrogant, especially when he said that he had killed 20,000 enemies, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing his strength.
But when Zhao Yun and Xu Chu heard this, they were also confused.
"What, you killed more than 20,000 enemy reinforcements? Impossible, then where did this Liyang's reinforcements come from? ”
Zhao Yun immediately didn't believe it, and immediately questioned it.
Ma Chao saw that Zhao Yun actually questioned himself, but he smiled faintly, snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he threw a round roll wrapped in cloth that he had brought in casually to the ground.
The cloth spread out, and a human head rolled out of the white cloth.
This is exactly the Wen Chou who was killed by Ma Chao.
Wen Chou's fame is too great, Ma Chao wants to invite credit, so he naturally has to win enough weight, and Wen Chou's head is the best.
Zhao Yun and Xu Chu have seen Wen Chou, after all, they have not fought with Yuan Shao for a day or two.
When they saw the head on the ground, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu's faces were shocked.
"It's really ugly!"
"General Ma Chao, tell me quickly, what have you encountered?"
As soon as Ma Chao threw out the ugly head, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu immediately changed their faces, and they were going to complain about Ma Chao, but they immediately turned pale and began to ask about Ma Chao's experience.
Ma Chao was not ambiguous, when it came to the moment of boasting, he naturally did not hesitate at all, and immediately explained how he fought Wen Chou alone, killed Wen Chou, and defeated the 20,000 army led by Wen Chou.
The process of this is naturally under Ma Chao's oil and vinegar, and it becomes a little more exaggerated, but it is in line with this result.
After all, Wen Chou's head is placed here, and Zhao Yun and Xu Chu have to believe it.
After some description, Ma Chao came back to his senses, and then asked Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
"Eh, by the way, General Zilong, General Zhongkang, why are you still outside the city, while the reinforcements have been wiped out by me, now we can attack Liyang."
