After Ma Chao broke through on his own, the Xiliang army was still in pursuit, but it didn't take long for a Biaoqiang cavalry to roar and kill.

Encountering cavalry in the plains, Fan Chou and the others had no choice but to lead the troops back to the camp and take Yang Qiu's body with them.

In the Xiliang military camp, the camps that were lit by Ma Chao's subordinates were also extinguished at this time, and under the light of the torches, wisps of green smoke drifted with the wind.

The soldiers were carrying the bodies of the dead, and patrolling groups of soldiers were walking back and forth in the camp.

Chen Jing led some guards and stood at the gate of the camp in anticipation, hoping to hear the victory cheers of the soldiers and see Ma Chao, who had become a prisoner.

"Stomp, stomp!"

A sound of footsteps came from far and near, and the light of the fire could be faintly seen, and those flags flying in the air belonged to the Xiliang Army.

"It's back, it's finally back!"

The guards were also eager to see the captured Ma Chao, and they stretched their necks one after another.

If Ma Chao is captured, this battle will be decided.

At that time, the Xiliang army could also defeat the Qiang people like autumn wind, and then return to Guanzhong to resist the attack of the princes.

"Hey, there seems to be a corpse on General Yang Ding's horseback, could it be that Ma Chao has been killed by General Yang Ding?"

The sky is too dark, even if there are sparse stars in the sky, you can't see it very well from too far away.

The corners of Chen Jing's mouth hooked up a smile, and secretly thought: "Regardless of life or death, as long as the Qiang people don't have Ma Chao, there will be no leader in the dragons." ”

"Even if the Qiang people flee this time, even if they go to the four counties of Longxi, I will completely defeat them!"

Chen Jing is very confident in the role of lime powder, Ma Chao was fascinated by lime powder, and under the siege and interception of Xiliang, it is not easy to survive.

In the final analysis, Ma Chao was too careless and underestimated Chen Jing.

He thought that in the Xiliang Army this time, without Guanzhong's fame, he could do whatever he wanted, and wanted to take Chen Jing's head among the ten thousand troops.

If there was no lime powder that suddenly appeared, maybe Ma Chao could really break through the encirclement and behead Chen Jing under the horse.

But there are not so many ifs on the battlefield, and it is reasonable for Ma Chao to be defeated by Chen Jing because of his bravery in vain.

Although it was a bit inferior to act like this on the battlefield, Chen Jing would not care about this, he could use all means in order to win.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The triumphant army was getting closer and closer to the camp, but Fan Chou and Yang Ding's faces were extremely solemn.

The smile on Chen Jing's face first gradually solidified, and then became extremely gloomy.

"Envoy, Ah Qiu, he was killed by Ma Chao!"

Yang Dingnai is the brother of the Yang Qiu clan, but at this time, he was resentful, and he couldn't cry in front of Chen Jing.

Chen Jing hurriedly went up to look at Yang Qiu, only to see that the armor near his chest had already been soaked with blood, and his eyes were staring at each other with a look of disbelief.

Chen Jing raised her head suddenly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Fan Chou hurriedly told the cause and effect of the incident, and Chen Jing couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard that Ma Chao was able to kill Yang Qiu with one move even when he was in a weak situation.

Even if it is a general in Guanzhong, there are not many people who can do this.

Chen Jing's right hand was placed in the position of Yang Qiu's eyes, moving down slightly, and when the palms left, Yang Qiu's eyes were already together.

"General Yang, but please rest assured, I will definitely kill Ma Chao's gang to avenge you."

On this expedition, Chen Jing's senses for Yang Qiu gradually improved, and he was preparing to reuse this person after destroying the Qiang people.

But he didn't want to, Yang Qiu would actually be killed by Ma Chao when the Xiliang Army had an absolute advantage.

This made Chen Jing lose his excitement about the slight record of the two defeats of Ma Chao while being vigilant.

After all, although the two battles seemed to be victorious for the Xiliang Army, they were all just small victories.

Due to the surprise of the first battle, although the Qiang cavalry turned on their backs, they did not suffer too many casualties, and the loss of Ma Chao's troops was not less than 200 people at all.

In the battle at night, although more than 1,000 enemy troops were eliminated, Ma Chao was not injured, and the Xiliang army lost Yang Qiu, a general.

In the end, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

"Thick burial!"

Chen Jing stared at Yang Qiu's corpse for a while, sighed slightly, and said these three words.

Yang Ding still had the same appearance of gritting his teeth, and Fan Chou's face was not very good-looking.

Let Ma Chao escape in that situation, although Chen Jing didn't say anything, Fan Chou felt extremely aggrieved.

"When I fought with Han Sui and Ma Teng before, although the eighteen-year-old Ma Chao was extraordinarily brave, he did not have the power he has now."

"I never thought that after a few years, Ma Chao would be so powerful."

At the beginning, Li Dao and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Suixing soldiers came to attack, and Fan Chou went into battle, defeated Ma and Han continuously, and chased and killed all the way.

Han Sui relied on being fellow villagers with Fan Chou, and moved them with affection and reason, so he let Fan Chou let them go back.

It was also after that battle that Fan Chou established a great prestige in the Xiliang Army, which made Li Dao jealous of him, and then laid the groundwork for the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

After so many years, Fan Chou has long been worn away from a lot of edges and corners, but Ma Chao, who seemed extremely immature in the past, has grown up completely.

This somewhat made Fan Chou himself feel a little uncomfortable.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Jing stayed in his tent and remained silent.

"It's a pity, I couldn't kill Ma Chao this time, and I'm afraid it's not easy to kill him again."

Thinking of the embattled Guanzhong, Chen Jing couldn't help but feel extremely irritable.

He always felt that Ma Chao was just a puppet's bravery, and it was not very difficult to design and kill him, but Ma Chao's bravery was still beyond his expectations.

Compared with this incident, Ma Chao will not be so careless anymore.

"How long will this war last?"

Chen Jing walked to the door of the tent, looked up at the flickering stars in the sky, and muttered in a low voice.

……

Yizhou, Guanghan County, Jiange.

Outside the steep and tall city wall, the banner was waving in the wind, and Chen Xu, who was dressed in black and armor, stood at the front of the army, with a dignified look on his face.

After the heavy rain stopped, Chen Xu got the news that Guanzhong was embattled, and Chen Xu finally sent Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry north, but he still led his troops to attack Yizhou.

The army entered Guanghan County and came to the city of Jiange, but was blocked by the Yizhou army led by Zhang Ren.

Chen Xu sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender, but the envoy was expelled by Zhang Ren by cutting off his ears.

Chen Xu was immediately furious and asked people to build a ladder with fireproof paint, but Zhang Ren had already seen the weakness of this ladder and kept pouring oil on it.

Although this fireproof coating has a high ignition point and can withstand a burst of fire, in the face of the continuous fire oil offensive of the Yizhou army, this kind of ladder was finally burned down.

The production of fireproof coatings is very difficult, and Zhang Ren saw through the weakness, and the effect of the ladder siege method was mostly lost.

Subsequently, Chen Xu tried a variety of siege methods, but in the face of the siege equipment such as rushing cars, well fences, and catapults, Zhang Ren defused them one by one.

As a last resort, Chen Xu had to send someone to dig a tunnel, wanting to enter the city, but Zhang Ren saw through the plan and fell short.

In this way, for more than half a month, Chen Xu had exhausted his means, but the Sword Pavilion was still immovable.

Looking at the standing figure in the city, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Ren really deserves to be a famous general in Bashu, but he can't be used by me." ”

After sighing, Chen Xu ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

With Chen Xu's troops, he wanted to attack the Sword Pavilion but he couldn't do it.

After all, the Sword Pavilion not only has famous generals like Zhang Ren stationed there, but also has gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is only slightly inferior to the Guanzhong Army in terms of troops.

Although the Guanzhong Army is strong, there are many places where troops need to be stationed.

Therefore, in this expedition, in addition to the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang at the beginning, Chen Xu only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses later.

Due to the previous fierce battles, most of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang were lost, and Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry back to Guanzhong.

Excluding those soldiers and horses stationed in various dangerous places in Ba County, Chen Xu's available soldiers were less than 60,000.

On the contrary, Yizhou is doing its best.

Even though the Yizhou army was defeated by Xu Huang, Tian Feng, and Gan Ning one after another, and suffered heavy casualties, it still sent 50,000 soldiers and horses into the Sword Pavilion to defend this Xiongguan to the death.

If the city can't be broken through with a plan, it is basically impossible for the Guanzhong army to capture the Sword Pavilion. It was precisely when Chen Xu realized this that he ordered a retreat.

After returning to the camp, Chen Xu summoned his subordinates and asked, "Zhang Ren guarded the Sword Pavilion to the water, do you have a good plan to break the city?" ”

As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, everyone immediately fell silent.

During this time, the generals were also made out of temper by Zhang Ren's impeccable defense.

In addition, the Sword Pavilion is too steep and majestic, how difficult it is to overcome it, knowing that it is impossible to force itself to come out, it is not called heroic, but arrogant.

Seeing everyone's performance, Chen Xu was slightly disappointed, but he had already expected the current situation.

Chen Xu's eyes successively patrolled Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Sima Yi, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Yu, and several of them did not say anything.

It's not that they're mediocre, it's just that in this case, even though these people are full of talent, there's nothing they can do.

And you strategists know that their lord has already had a strategy to break the enemy, but he has been waiting for the opportunity.

In the end, Chen Xu had no choice but to dismiss the meeting and let the generals go to the barracks to appease the soldiers and boost morale.

The Sword Pavilion has been unable to attack for a long time, and there are many sergeants and soldiers, and their morale has begun to decline.

Everyone left, only Tian Feng was left by Chen Xu.

Seeing that this first strategist who defected to him, although he is not very old now, he also has some silver hair, Chen Xu suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Sir."

With a light call, Chen Xu sighed: "Mr. has been following me to fight in the south and north for seventeen years, right?" In retrospect, it was like yesterday. ”

Tian Feng was also embarrassed when he saw Chen Xu's true feelings, and was about to speak, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Lord, Liangzhou urgent!"
