Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 262 Cao Hong was defeated and Tongguan fell

On the other side, Cao Hong led [-] troops with Xu Huang as the chief general and Xu Huang as the deputy general. After going to Tongguan, he began to prepare the army and strengthen the city wall.

Cao Hong came to the city wall, looked at the Xiliang army besieging the city, and wanted to go out of the city to fight in his heart.

Xu Huang had already seen that Cao Hong had such thoughts.

So, he persuaded: "General, the Prime Minister asked us to stick to it for ten days, we must not disobey the military order!"

"Well, of course I know, I was just thinking, what would happen to Cao Peng if he was here!" Cao Hong said with his brows furrowed.

Xu Huang felt a little helpless, Cao Hong was equivalent, and he had to compare himself with Cao Peng in everything.

But fortunately, the other party still knows the seriousness and should not mess around.

It's a pity that things really disappointed Xu Huang after all.

Cao Jun insisted on the strategy of not fighting, and only lasted for a few days.

But he said that Ma Chao personally led the army, and when he reached the pass, he shouted coldly: "Are all the generals of Cao Jun as cowardly as you? Why don't you dare to come down and fight with grandpa?"

Cao Hong, who was standing on the city, immediately clenched his fists when he heard this.

Xu Huang on the side hurriedly said: "General, he deliberately provoked us, so don't be fooled!"

Cao Hong managed to suppress his anger, but Ma Chao below became more energetic as he scolded.

"Hey, Cao thief, you traitors, rebels, after hearing that your ancestors were still eunuchs, is this ability of shrinking from your ancestors?"

Whether a scholar can bear it or can't bear it, Ma Chao is already insulting the ancestors of the Cao family. Cao Hong's violent temper immediately angered him.

"Ma Chao, just wait for me, young master, I'll come down and kill you right now!"

This time, Xu Huang couldn't stop the furious Cao Hong no matter what, so he could only let him lead the attack.

"It's over, it's over!"

Xu Huang is a smart person, he is not optimistic at all, Cao Hong can.After defeating the brave Ma Chao, I don't believe that a mere 1 troops can defeat Ma Chao's Xiliang army.

Cao Hong led his troops out, originally thinking that it would be a difficult battle, but he never expected that Ma Chao and him would be defeated at the first touch, and they even fled back on their horses.

This made Cao Hong very happy. He really thought that he was brave and invincible, even the brave Ma Chao was defeated by him.

"Everyone follow me to hunt down Ma Chao. When the time comes, the prime minister will come and reward you according to your merits!"

General Cao Hong took the lead, and everyone behind him followed closely behind.

When Ma Chao saw Tao Hong chasing him, a smile appeared on his face.

But he remembered that Zhuge Liang told him that this defeat must be completely defeated.

Zhuge Liang also said that he must do enough to act, so that the other party can be fooled.

So, Ma Chao directly threw away his weapons, and asked the soldiers beside him to throw away their weapons and flags as well.

Cao Hong was even more proud. He thought that he really chased the opponent down.

There is no doubt about the other party, it is very likely that it is a fraudulent defeat.

In fact, it's no wonder he was there. Cao Jun fought all the way and never lost.

Excellent equipment and high aura have become Cao Jun's confidence to fight and kill.

Cao Hong laughed, galloped his horse, and gradually separated from the troops behind him.

Ma Chao felt that he was doing about the same with his long-term fishing for big fish, so he turned around suddenly and smiled strangely at Cao Hong.

Ma Chao galloped forward, without a weapon in his hand, and wanted to fight Cao Hong empty-handed.

Although Cao Hong also felt that something was wrong, but when he saw how arrogant this guy was, he immediately swung his long halberd to kill him.

Ma Chao, who was dressed in silver armor, didn't dodge or dodge, he waved his hands and attacked, as fast as a shooting star, he went up to meet him.

Cao Hong's long halberd was firmly held in his hand, no matter how hard the opponent tried, it was hard to shake it.

"You deliberately cheated?!" Cao Hong asked in horror.

Ma Chao smiled strangely, "Guess!"

This powerful force directly took away the weapon in Cao Hong's hand.

"go to hell!"

Ma Chao swept away with Cao Hong's long halberd, hitting Cao Hong's chest.

This Cao Hong is not such an idiot, he has some martial arts skills, but he was not swept away by the opponent's move and knocked off his horse.

And because Ma Chao used the back of the gun, he did not penetrate Cao Hong.

But it was also hit this time, and he almost lost his breath.

The sound of shouting to kill was loud. It turned out that it was Han Sui who led the troops to kill. Cao Hong knew that he had been made dumplings, and sighed in despair.

Ma Chao laughed wildly: "It's your ability to block me, but you don't have a chance this time!"

Seeing Ma Chao waving his long halberd and attacking him again, Cao Hong thought that he would die for sure.

But at that moment, he saw Xu Huang desperately trying to kill him.

The pedigree of the opponent's horse is not bad, so it blocked his affection in an instant.

What Xu Huang used was a big knife, which rose against the wind and helped Cao Hong block Ma Chao's assassination.

Xu Huang entangled with Ma Chao desperately, and shouted loudly: "General, retreat quickly, Tongguan can't be defended!"

Cao Hong looked up to the sky and sighed as he watched the Cao army retreating steadily against the Xiliang army.

"withdraw!"

He knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would really die here.

Charged all the way under the guard of the crowd, lost most of the army, and finally broke out of the siege.

After returning to the pass, Xu Huang said: "Ma Chao's army is majestic, we can't hold it anymore, let's give up Tongguan and retreat!"

Cao Hong looked at the remnant army under his command, then at Xu Huang who was seriously injured, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed by his stupidity.

"Regret not to listen to the general's words, resulting in today's big defeat!"

Xu Huang smiled wryly and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Let's go, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here if it's too late."

At this point, Cao Hong had no choice but to order a retreat.

As soon as Cao Jun retreated like a tide, Ma Chao immediately occupied the city.

Look, Tongguan has been replaced with Ma Chao's flag.

Cao Hong was dejected, and he was no longer in high spirits like before the expedition.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Huang couldn't help but comfort him: "General, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, you don't have to..."

As Xu Huang talked, he didn't know how to persuade him.

Before Cao Hong left for the expedition, he boasted in front of Cao Cao that he would hold on to Haikou for ten days, but now he lost the city in only five days, and he couldn't go back and explain.

"Hey……"

The news of the loss of Tongguan had already been taken one step ahead by the messengers, who came to Xudu and told Cao Cao.

"Mediocre!" Cao Cao smashed his wine glass angrily.

Xu Chu was shocked and asked, "Prime Minister, what happened?"

Cao Cao said with a dark face: "Cao Hong, that bastard, lost Tongguan!"

Xu Chu couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and said casually, "It's only been five days now, Tongguan is lost too quickly!"

Cao Cao said angrily: "It must be that this guy didn't listen to me and went out of the city to meet the enemy without authorization, so there was such a big defeat!"
