However, it was said that Xiahou Yuan led troops to Luyang, and sent sentinels to investigate and give back the news, which almost made Xiahou Yuan angry. It turned out that after Ma Chao saw that he attracted Xiahou Yuan, he accepted it when he saw it. The people who were recruited along the way were dismissed one by one, and after distributing money and food, they were sent home.

Ma Chao had already made up his mind in his heart, after dismissing these people, he would have no baggage on himself, and when he wanted to, he would fight and leave if he wanted, and he couldn't help himself if he forgave Xiahou Yuan. What the? Xiahou Yuan wants to lead a large army to chase after him, so let him be happy. There was a fire in Nanyang's backyard, did he really care?

Xiahou Yuan jumped like thunder. On the way, he received an urgent report from Wancheng, saying that another Han army had infiltrated the territory, Liankeshu County, and the target was Wancheng. He had already led his troops to set off, thinking that Wancheng was tall and strong, so why waste military rations and run back, and solve the enemy of Luyang first. Who would have thought that it would be hard to get to Luyang all the way, but found that the Han army on Luyang's side was a smoke bomb.

After calming down, Xiahou Yuan knew that he had fallen for the Han army's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and he was afraid that the family would be in a mess. He called Cao Wei, the guard general of Luyang, and said, "I will give you another thousand people, and you must guard Luyang." Just hold on to it, the Han army intends to be in Luyang. ”

Cao Wei only said yes. Xiahou Yuan looked at Cao Wei angrily and angrily, if it weren't for this bastard, how could he run in vain. So he reprimanded mercilessly: "If Luyang loses, I will not spare it." ”

Of course, Xiahou Yuan didn't go to Ma Chao's trouble. The Han general outside the city was very cunning, and as soon as he moved, he looked at the wind and retreated. Xiahou Yuan didn't have time to play hide and seek here with this Han army. He had to rush back to Wancheng to preside over the overall situation.

Hearing the sound of hooves, Ma Chao stood up from the ground, squinted and looked forward, only to see several black dots moving, well, his own sentry rode back. After a while, the scout came to report, saying that Cao Jun from Luyang was going to retreat.

After Ma Chao listened to the report, he smiled: "If you want to leave, how can it be so easy." ”

After Xiahou Yuan came to Luyang, Ma Chao scouted and rode out in all directions, killing or capturing Cao Jun's scouts, and swept them cleanly. This will make Xiahou Yuan only know that the Han army at home is attacking the city, but he doesn't know how far the situation has developed. That's why Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry to rush back.

At the same time that Xiahou Yuan moved, Ma Chao also moved. Five thousand soldiers and horses want to fight Xiahou Yuan head-on, that is a dream. But it's much easier to wreak.

So along the way, Xiahou Yuan's troops kept encountering harassment and attacks. Ma Chao divided the troops into countless squads, dug a pit here, and set up a stumbling rope; There was a bridge destroyed and a road cut off. Or in a dangerous place, either arrows or rocks and trees. Anyway, the means are all there is.

It's just that if you still shoot a shot, you will change places, and once the bad things are done, you will never stay, and you will not care about the results or results. Immediately transferred. As soon as Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses came, they couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Only Cao Jun was so angry that he jumped up. After Xiahou Yuan found out, his face was calm, but his heart was full of anger. Of course, he is the master of the army, and he will not lose his temper because of this, otherwise he will fall into the hands of Ma Chao.

Thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan had a plan, and in the next few days of marching, he intentionally or unintentionally exposed his baggage troops. The Han army found out the news and reported to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao received the report of great joy and said: "Xiahou Yuan is taking care of his head, he has been tired by us for a while, and he really can't hold on." If I can break the camp and burn the grain and grass of Cao's army, his army will be scattered, and at that time, how will Xiahou Yuan be my opponent. Hey, hey, hey. ”

Ma Chao decided to attack Cao's grain and grass troops. Solve Xiahou Yuan once and for all. This night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, Ma Chao led his troops to sneak to the place where Cao Jun was camping, and when the night was nearly three watches, he suddenly launched. The sound of drums and trumpets could be heard on all sides, and countless rockets pierced the night sky, illuminating the world.

Cao Jun was really unprepared, and there was a riot in the camp. Ma Chao saw that the Cao army was in a mess, the soldiers were rushing to the wolves, the generals shouted and scolded, their eyes lit up, and they knew that the time had come, so they shouted, and the spear knocked the horse stock, and then jumped out: "Kill with me!" ”

The Han army swept out. Along the way, the soldiers all retreated. Ma Chao laughed, triumphant, and led his troops to rush into Cao's camp. I saw piles of grain and grass neatly piled up in front of me. couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he ordered left and right: "Set fire to the grain, and then withdraw quickly." ”

Left and right raised the fire and was about to step forward, when he suddenly heard a sound of drums and trumpets, Ma Chao was startled, looked up, and saw that in all directions, Cao Jun rushed over like a tide. Ma Chao secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and he was tricked. With a shake of the spear in his right hand, he pierced into a bag of grain, and when he pulled out the gun, he found that it was not grain and grass but sand and soil that flowed out. Ma Chao turned around and left.

Ma Chao gave a signal to retreat, leading his troops to the front, rushing left and right, wanting to fight a bloody way. Xiahou Yuan saw it from a distance and said with a smile: "Xiao'er, let you see the power of a certain family today." ”

Then he ordered the left and right, besieged the Han army, and no one was allowed to escape.

The shouts of killing were everywhere, Ma Chao looked around, there were enemies on all sides, arrows flying in the sky, and swords, guns, halberds, and swords were murderous in front and back. couldn't help sighing: "If you are not careful, you will lose all the games, and you will be hateful!" ”

The captain next to him said: "General, the matter is urgent, you can break through quickly, I am the general after the break." ”

Ma Chao listened, his heart was churning, and he secretly said that since I was in the army, Liangzhou is known for its bravery, except for the lord, who have I been afraid of. This humiliation will be repaid in the future!

So he shook his spirits, shouted, danced a spear so much that he couldn't get in, and the men and horses were one, and he led his troops to rush out and kill.

Although there are few people on Ma Chao's side, the victory is that they are all elites, and when Zhang Fei went out to fight in Jingzhou, he chose all elites. And when he arrived in Jingzhou, he made Ma Chao attack Luyang to attract Wancheng soldiers and horses, which was even more fine. Moreover, Ma Chao is a first-class general, brave and unparalleled, as the saying goes, it will be the courage of soldiers. The general fought hard, and the soldiers below were even more red-eyed. Form an army formation and rush outward like flowing water. And it's all a deadly stance. Cao Jun stabbed with a shot, and he didn't dodge here, and he stabbed straight with a shot. It's all about wounds for injuries. If one dies, someone will immediately make up for it. No stops.

To say that the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan is not too weak. But Ma Chao took the lead, while Xiahou Yuan was in charge of the Chinese army. Compared with these two sides, morale is naturally different. Especially after the vanguard of the Cao army was picked up by Ma Chao with a shot, the Cao army's offensive was even more exhausted.

In the end, Ma Chao beheaded three Cao generals in a row, covered in blood, and led the remnants to kill through the siege of Cao's army, and left. Xiahou Yuan saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't chase it. After this battle, I don't think Ma Chao will come to him again. It still matters if Wancheng is still important. So after cleaning up the battlefield, Xiahou Yuan did not stop for a moment, led his troops and horses, and hurriedly marched towards Wancheng.
