Chapter 620 is a big victory
Ma Chao ran to the north gate, and there happened to be a few war horses on the side of the road, which were probably placed here when the city guards rushed to the city gate.
"Kill me, soldiers!" Seeing this, Ma Chao turned over a war horse, waved the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, and rushed towards the city gate.
Although Ma Chao is over fifty years old, his bravery has not diminished back then, and with a wave of the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, the sharp blade and the unmatched strength took the lives of five soldiers at once.
"It's the Shu army, why did they come in!"
"Where did the Shu army come from?"
"Have any gates been broken?"
Ma Chao suddenly attacked, killing the Hu people under the city, they were strong in combat on horses, but on land, they were not as good as the well-trained Han army.
However, after a while, Ma Chao led his troops to the city gate, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, he only heard a click, and then broke the bolt.
With a few more shots, Ma Chao scattered the enemy troops around him and ordered the soldiers to open the city gates.
"Brothers, the gates are open, kill them with me!"
Outside the north gate, it was Ling Tong, and when he saw the city gate open, he immediately led his troops to rush towards the city.
At this moment, the defenders above the city also knew that the city gate was opened, and it was in chaos, although there were also soldiers at the head of the city who shot the Han army, but because of the panic, the arrows were very loose.
Ling Tong held a spear to block the arrows, but after a while, he rushed to the city.
Ling Tong came to the city, joined Ma Chao's soldiers and horses, and entered the city again.
The two of them soon rushed to the city again, intercepted the stairs on both sides of the city, dismounted and led the troops to the city.
Although the soldiers and horses under the command of the two of them combined were only more than 2,000, less than half of the enemy's army, Ma Chao and Ling Tong were 10,000 enemies, they temporarily put down their spears, held swords against the enemy, slashed left and right, and everywhere they went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Especially Ma Chao, the sword in his hand is a meteoric iron sword rewarded by Liu Chan, sharpening iron like mud, the enemy is basically injured next to each other, and he will die if he touches it.
The other three gates, Lin Xiao, Lin Yuan, and Wei Yan, also successfully led the troops to open the city gate, joined the soldiers and horses outside the city, and killed the city.
For a time, Gao Nucheng shouted and killed, the screams were deafening, although the Han army had fewer soldiers and horses than the Hu people, but the effect of the combination of the inside and the outside, coupled with the peerless fierce generals taking the lead in killing the enemy, the Hu people were not opponents at all, and they were killed by the Han army to a river of blood.
The Hu people were defeated, and their main general, Manro, was located at the head of the east gate, and was killed by Ehuan, who rushed into the city.
However, the Hu people were twice as large as the Han army, although they were defeated by the Han army, but there were still many Hu people who fled, and Budugen was in Yanmen in the north, so they fled to the north.
On the other side, Liu Chan and Guan Yu led their troops to thirty miles north of Gaonu and came to a river to wait for them.
There were few rivers in the north, and the Hu people were raided and fled by the Han army, without carrying anything to eat or drink, and the weather was hot, so they must have looked for water or walked along the river.
Therefore, Liu Chan led his troops in advance to find the river and stationed it, waiting for the enemy army to arrive.
Liu Chan led his troops and waited until the early hours of the morning, but only heard shouts of killing from the direction of Gaonu, but no enemy troops fled.
Guan Yu was a little impatient, and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction, and the enemy army will not flee to the north from here?" ”
Liu Chan said with a smile: "The enemy army escaped, there was no time to bring food and drink, this radius of dozens of miles, there is only this one river, if you flee to other places, there is no water source, it is no less than self-destruction, so the enemy can only flee and flee."
Gao Nu is thirty miles away from here, and it will take time for the enemy to escape, so the second uncle will wait patiently for a while. ”
As soon as Liu Chan's words fell, he saw a ride rushing from the south, which was the scout sent by Liu Chan.
The scout arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, a large number of enemies are fleeing from the south, and it is less than three miles away!" ”
When Liu Chan heard this, he immediately ordered: "Let the soldiers prepare for battle!" ”
"No!"
Under Liu Chan's order, a thousand soldiers and horses immediately moved and set up a formation along the river.
But it was said that in the south, there were generals fleeing from the Hu people.
Although these Hu people fled in a panic at first, soon after they left the city, they slowly calmed down and rushed towards the direction of the river.
"Kill!"
Hu Ren lowered his head and fled, and suddenly heard a shout of killing in front of him.
Guan Yu urged the horse out, looked at the fleeing Hu Ren and shouted: "I am the general of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu is also, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
A group of Han soldiers also spoke, and burst out into imposing shouts.
"There are interceptions in front, and there are pursuers in the back, what should I do?"
"Only surrender to save your life!"
"Hey, let's surrender, we don't have a war horse now, how can we escape the pursuit of the Shu soldiers."
"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"
"I'm willing to surrender!"
Amid the shouts of the Han army, the Hu people put down their soldiers and horses one after another, and knelt on the ground to sign surrender.
Liu Chan ordered people to receive their weapons and let them stay by the river for people to take care of.
The Hu people did not escape at one time, but scattered escapes, Liu Chan led his troops to stay by the river until dawn, and a total of more than 4,000 Hu people were surrendered.
When it was dawn, Ling Tong, E Huan and other generals also led the cavalry to rush over.
Seeing that Liu Chan was leading the army here, the two hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty, General!" ”
Liu Chan helped the two of them up: "No courtesy!" What happened to the slaves? ”
Ling Tong replied: "Last night we successfully entered the city, although there are many Hu people, but they are not our opponents, but many Hu people fled into the city, or escaped from the city, we fought in the streets of the city, until not long ago to erect the soldiers and horses in the city. The hussar generals now counted the casualties in the city, and since most of the Hu people had fled to the north, they ordered the last general to lead his troops in pursuit along the water source. ”
Liu Chan smiled and said, "After you left last night, I arrived here with my troops, and a total of four or five thousand Hu soldiers were surrendered. The 20,000 Hu soldiers should have almost all been captured by us, even if someone escaped from other places, I'm afraid there aren't many, now let's go back. ”
"No!"
Liu Chan then led his troops back to the city of Gaonu.
I saw that there were traces of battles everywhere in Gaonu City, and due to the hot weather, the corpses had been cleaned up, but the blood stains on the ground had not been washed away. At this moment, the sun is also out, and flies are flying around on the blood stains, which is quite infiltrating.
Fortunately, there are no Han people in the city, only some Han people live, and Liu Chan does not need to be Zhang Bang Anmin. However, those Hu people, Liu Chan didn't target them separately, but just asked him to gather them together and keep them under strict control.
When he came to the mansion, General Ma Chao also rushed over.
Liu Chan asked Ma Chao, "What about the casualties?" ”
Ma Chao replied: "Our army has lost more than 1,000 people, more than 3,000 wounded, more than 9,000 of the 20,000 Hu people have been killed, and nearly 10,000 people have been captured in the city plus those captured by His Majesty, and less than 1,000 people have escaped." ”
