Chapter 33 Ma Chao's initial defeat
Zhang Shun rushed into the camp of the Lu Cheng Army under the coercion of Ma Chao, knowing that it was a trap, and wanted to communicate with the Lu Cheng Army, but who knew that the fire attack of the Lu Cheng Army would start as soon as he entered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Shun finally rushed out in disgrace, and the thousands of henchmen around him were less than three hundred, and Ma Chao had long since disappeared, and they all said that water and fire were ruthless, and Zhang Shun had seen it.
"Sima, where are we going?"
Lu Chengjun didn't see it, Ma Chao also left, and one of Zhang Shun's henchmen asked.
"Where are you going?"
The devil knows where to go? Zhang Shun hated so much that he wanted to scold his mother, but he didn't know whether to scold Ma Chao or Lu Chengjun, anyway, Zhang Shun didn't catch it on both sides this time.
Zhang Shun hesitated for a long time, the ambush of the Lu Cheng army came over, Zhang Shun surrendered without much thought, since Ma Chao coerced himself into the trap of the Lu Cheng army, no matter whether he found himself in the enemy, this dynasty can not go back, he can only mix with the Lu Cheng army.
"Who is Zhang Shun?"
Zhao Yan, who joined the army, shouted when he saw the kneeling soldiers.
"So-and-so, so-and-so."
Zhang Shun struggled to get up, not because Zhang Shun was pretentious, but because the fire was too big, and his legs were burned by the fire when he rushed out.
"Didn't you make an appointment to hit Ma Chao? Why did your department fall into the trap, but Ma Chao went back to the court? ”
Zhao Yan apparently showed distrust of Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun said: "It may be that Ma Chao noticed something, but a certain surrender is a sincere move."
Zhao Yan thought about it for a moment or two, and said: "If this is the case, you are willing to die for Liu Hou."
Zhang Shun was overjoyed: "If Liu Hou can die, it will be a blessing!" I would like to listen to the captain. ”
"Come near."
Zhao Yan squinted and said to Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and leaned forward, but his hand was held at the hilt of the knife in his waist just in case.
Zhang Shun's small actions naturally couldn't hide Zhao Yan, who was born in intelligence, but Zhao Yan didn't take it to heart, and whispered to Zhang Shun: "Take advantage of the defeat to enter the city, and deceive the city gate to welcome a certain army into the city.
Zhang Shun's pupils shrank when he heard this, and it was a desperate errand to take advantage of defeat to take the city, but when he heard that Zhao Yan wanted to ask for credit for himself in front of Liu Bei, Zhang Shun's heart was hot, if he could be listed in front of Liu Bei, then the future would not be worried.
Zhang Shun thought that the guards of the South City Gate had always been at odds with the candidates, and now they must be sitting on wax, and they would not give up the opportunity to join the Lu Cheng Army.
Zhang Shun calculated the gains and losses, and only after a long time did he make up his mind: "The captain is at ease, he will definitely be able to seize the city gate and welcome the army into the city."
"Okay, then so-and-so will wait for Zhang Sima Jiayin."
Zhao Yan bowed his hand: "However, in order to strengthen Sima's combat strength, a certain will send a Lucheng army to enter the city with Sima."
Surveillance?
Zhang Shun muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to object, and hurriedly said, "Okay."
Zhao Yan looked at the back of Zhang Shun leaving, and finally understood that Zhang Shun couldn't compete with Zhang Heng, the reason was that Zhang Shun was too concerned about gains and losses, and being too conservative was not a good thing in troubled times.
Ma Chao thought that he could easily get out by driving Zhang Shun into the trap, but unfortunately he underestimated the combat power of the Lu Cheng Army, and under the personal command of Han Meng, the Lu Cheng Army broke out with a super night combat ability.
Ma Chao rushed left and right, and finally managed to break out of the encirclement, and there were only dozens of fine horsemen left around him, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh secretly: Lu Chengjun really lived up to his reputation.
"The horse is gone, and the horse is left behind."
"The one who captures Ma Chao alive will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level."
“……”
Ma Chao had just run out of a short distance when he heard the shouts one after another, listening to the sound because there were no less than a thousand horsemen, if they were all in the elite of the Lu Cheng army that he had just experienced, would he be able to kill it again?
Ma Chao's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly slapped the horse and ran in the direction of the city, although the plan was a little biased, but it was still in control, and he only hoped that the candidate could hold out for half a day longer, and buy time for himself to find reinforcements.
As soon as Ma Chao left, a group of torches appeared in the dark, and the torches shone and ordered Hu Yin to appear with a sneer.
The Lucheng army led by Han Meng this time is only two thousand horsemen, and the rest are all Zahu knights recruited by Xun You, except for Han Meng, who just intercepted Ma Chao, is the Lucheng army, and Linghu Yin and Zhao Yan's troops are all Hugh Tu Zahu, if Ma Chao stays to fight to the death, the ending is not so bleak.
Ma Chao fled to Chaona City desperately, and encountered the rout soldiers who escaped from the city gate from a long distance, Ma Chao was stunned: What is going on?
I didn't know if I caught a rout, but I only said that there was chaos in the city, and the Lu Cheng army had entered the city.
Ma Chao wondered: The Lu Cheng army is dealing with its own night attack, how can it divide its troops to take the court, and besides, are the thousands of knights under the command of Hou Xuan eating dry food?
Naturally, the candidate's subordinates did not eat dry food, but in order to make the plan go smoothly, the candidate did not strictly order his subordinates to defend the city, but only warned his cronies to strengthen the defense.
And the guard of the south city gate is Zhang Heng's old general, and the candidate did not immediately replace him in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and it was because of this person that Zhang Shun opened the city gate as soon as he called him.
Zhang Shun said in a few words that he defected to the Lu Cheng army, and then Zhao Yan took Zhang Shun and Yu Sin as the vanguard to recruit rebels all the way, and successfully let the two of them collect thousands of people who were not in harmony with Zhang Heng's old department and the candidates.
These thousands of people desperately killed the Hou Xuan army under the armor supported by the Lu Cheng army, and the Hou Xuan army was caught off guard, and the Hou Xuan army was divided and surrounded by Zhang Shun and others in different places.
Some unknown peripheral troops scattered out of Chaona City, this is the scene that Ma Chao saw when he came to Chaona City, and after Ma Chao figured it out, he could only reluctantly withdraw from Chaona.
Tens of thousands of troops are fighting in the small city of Chaona, no matter how brave he is, what is the use? The defeat of the candidate is inevitable, and it is important to go to Fanting Mountain to find reinforcements first.
Ma Chao gathered the rout and headed towards Fanting Mountain.
In Chaona City, after a night of fighting, Zhang Shun and the Hou Xuan were exhausted, and the Lu Cheng army joined the attack after a full meal, and soon defeated one after another with excellent armor and cooperation.
Hou Xuan heard the smaller and smaller sounds of fighting and knew that the situation was not good, I am afraid that the Lu Cheng army also joined the ranks of the siege, and organized his own soldiers to kill them at the moment, as for his thousands of knights, they were all abandoned.
As soon as Hou Xuan left the city, he also ran in the direction of Fanting Mountain, fortunately, Lu Chengjun was not very familiar with the geography of this place, otherwise he would have been able to capture Hou Xuan and Ma Chao.
However, after Lu Chengjun got Chaona City, Han Meng immediately recruited Zhao Yan, Ling Huyin, Zhang Shun, and Yu Sin to discuss the next direction of the march.
Zhang Shun and the two are not good at interjecting as newcomers, and Han Meng and the three of them will not listen to them, so they discussed it on their own, and finally decided to kill Fanting Mountain, and attack from Fanting Mountain to occupy the opening mountain and Boluo Valley, so that they can completely cut off Han Sui and Ma Teng's back road, and once the back road is broken, can they still besiege Niyang?
"Sima Zhang, Marquis Yu Jun, the two of you are familiar with the road leading to Fanting Mountain, Kaitou Mountain, and Boluo Valley."
Zhao Yan, who joined the army, asked.
Zhang Shun patted his chest and said, "I know, captain and rest assured, you can find this place with your eyes closed."
