Chapter 650: Ma Chao is in ambush

Niu Jin is also a general, so he naturally thinks of the problem of running out of arrows. Therefore, when Ma Chao was far away, he stopped shooting, and when the Han army surrounded him, he ordered an attack.

In this way, the archers will not only have a chance to rest, but also save the greatest possible arrows. Under Niu Jin's proper arrangement, Ma Chao had no choice but to follow Niu Jin from afar.

At that time, Li Ling led 5,000 troops to use this method to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry without defeat, and also killed and injured countless Xiongnu cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that the arrows ran out in the end and there were traitors in the army to report to the Huns, Li Ling would not have fallen into the fate of the future.

Niu Jin led his troops to fight and walk, and when he was about to reach Cao Ren's place, the arrows of Niu Jin's troops were finally exhausted. Niu Jin was anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent, ordering the troops to retreat slowly. When the Han army launched another tentative attack, and did not receive an overwhelming dense number of arrows, the cheers among the Han army immediately rang out. They knew that Cao Jun had no arrows.

So without Ma Chao's order, the cavalry clamped their legs around the horse's belly, urging the war horse to start galloping, and then kill Cao Jun. Niu Jin knew that under the charge of the cavalry, the thin layers of defense in the front row could not be stopped at all. He wasn't going to die. Now that he is almost at the ambush point, his mission is complete. So Niu Jin gave an order: "The whole army is backward, retreat!" ”

Cao Jun immediately rushed backwards with all his strength. Between the runs, the formation is naturally difficult to protect, and it inevitably reveals flaws. was glimpsed by Ma Chao, so he seized the opportunity and killed in.

The cavalry followed their commander and made their way in. Niu Jin led his troops to block it a few times, and when he saw that he couldn't stop Ma Chao, he sighed secretly in his heart, when he came to the earth boundary, he was broken. Niu Jin no longer resisted, took the lead, turned around and ran. Ma Chao saw it from afar, and chased after him. was entangled by Cao Jun along the way. Ma Chao smiled angrily and said, "This guy is running really fast!" ”

Cao Jun was defeated. In the distance, the ambushed Captain Cao asked Cao Ren, "General?" He watched his robe being cut to the ground one by one by the Han army like a pig and a dog, but he couldn't hold it back.

Cao Ren's eyes were cold, and he said, "Wait! Cao Ren is also heartbroken, but Ci is not in charge of the army. The Han army has not yet entered the encirclement, and if he jumps out at this time, he will have nothing but the Han cavalry that is frightened to and fro like the wind. In this case, the sacrifices of the soldiers of the former battalion will be in vain.

Finally, Niu Jin escaped with the remnants of the army, and Ma Chao led the Han army and rushed in. At this time, Cao Ren had a seizure, pressed his hand, and only heard the golden drums vibrating and waving flags between the valleys, and then countless Cao soldiers jumped out with shouts, holding spears, dragging long knives, and holding round shields, like a tiger descending the mountain, like a dragon out of the abyss, killing him.

Ma Chao pulled the reins of the horse and gasped: "Fooled!" So he stopped pursuing Cao's army, turned his horse's head, and prepared to break through.

However, since he was surrounded by this, how could Cao Ren easily let go of the enemy. After Niu Jin came out of the army, he changed his embarrassment of being defeated and fled, stood up with his chest and belly, carried a big knife and led his troops to fight the Han army, and laughed triumphantly: "Thief, you are waiting for the plan!" ”

Ma Chao didn't say a word, and rushed to the front with Pang De, Ma Dai and others, just wanting to kill a bloody way out for his subordinates. The pursuit just now also lost a lot of horsepower of the Han cavalry, and they were already a little tired at this time. But at the moment of life and death, they still broke out with amazing combat effectiveness. followed behind the main general, and together they killed Cao Jun and retreated.

Cao Ren saw from afar that the heart of Liangzhou Riding really deserved its reputation, but since it was in ambush, it was impossible for you to do it.

Cao's army rushed out, surrounded the Han cavalry, and cut off people's legs and horses' legs. Many Han cavalry who were left behind in the rear were overwhelmed by Cao's man-sea tactics.

And in the front, Ma Chao was not having a good time, and Cao Jun arranged archers in the back to carry out projectile strikes in the direction they were advancing. Under the dense cover, countless cavalry and war horses were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

Ma Chao has no idea of competing with Cao Jun. At this time, he was only thinking about how to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible, and then bring out as many robes as possible.

Quick, fast! Ma Chao roared angrily, and every blow of the big gun in his hand contained his anger. These hateful Cao troops in front of them are endless, killing one, coming again, killing a group, and coming again. Ma Chao was furious, only to kill all over the blood.

Behind him, Pang De and Ma Dai were wounded several times, but they didn't say a word, only ordered the flag soldiers to follow behind them, leading everyone to rush with their heads down. At this time, everyone was holding their breath, unable to disperse, and did not dare to disperse. If you rush out, you can live. If you can't rush out, everyone can only bury yourself in a ball.

Fortunately, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai are all ruthless characters who are brave and unafraid of death, and under their leadership, they actually killed a bloody way out of the encirclement of the Cao army.

The lieutenant who was responsible for blocking the Han army in front saw that Ma Chao and the others were covered in blood and murderous, and he couldn't help but take it for granted, and his courage was timid, and his movements in his hands couldn't help but slow down a little. But Ma Chao and others seized this opportunity, killed Cao Jun in one go, and rushed out.

When Captain Cao wanted to encircle again, he was already slow, and he could only watch Ma Chao and the others lead the remnants to rush away. After Cao Ren led his troops to kill the encircled Han cavalry one by one, he arrived at Ma Chao's breakthrough and asked, "Since Ma Chao is surrounded, how can you indulge it?" ”

Captain Cao was ashamed and didn't dare to speak.

Cao Ren said: "In today's battle, I could have completely annihilated the Ma Chao Department to sacrifice the souls of our soldiers in the sky, but my plan was completely destroyed in your hands." What do you have to say? ”

Seeing that the captain was silent, Cao Ren waved his hand, and the guards on the left and right dragged the captain out, wanting to march the military law. Niu Jin and the others wanted to persuade him, but they saw that Cao Ren's face was full of iron and blue, and his eyes were gloomy like water. I didn't dare to say more. After a while, I saw a scream outside, and then the guards came to pay the order.

Cao Ren saw that the generals were shocked, so he said: "Those who dare to slow down the army will be killed!" "Next, there is a war with the Han army. The enemies he faced were famous generals under Liu Bei such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If there is still anyone in the army who is slack, he will be defeated miserably. Therefore, this person's head can only be used to make the army sober and sober.

Like the battle just now, if you can hold the gap, Ma Chao will die if he doesn't surrender. He will completely eliminate this big trouble for Yanzhou. As a result, it was only a little bit short, and he fell short. How not to be angry in Cao Ren's heart.

Counting the previous Niu Jin who went to lure the enemy, plus the loss in the battle just now. More than 2,000 were killed in the battle, and thousands were seriously wounded. And only the corpses of less than 2,000 Han horsemen were left. Although cavalry and foot soldiers are not so simple to calculate. But Cao Ren felt that he had suffered a loss in this battle. I could have kept Ma Chao, but it's a pity.
