The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427 Raid
Wu Yunzhao temporarily blocked Ma Chao's assault, but Cao Jun's forwards were unable to block the Xiliang cavalry's sharp edge.

The Xiliang cavalry's offensive was too sharp. Wave after wave of cavalry assaults smashed Cao Jun's front army to pieces, pointing directly at the Chinese army camp where Sima Yi was.

Rao Sima Yi was unparalleled in wisdom and tactics. At this time, he was a little messed up. No matter how he mobilized his troops, he couldn't stop the trend of the army's defeat.

Under the crazy attack of Ma Chao's brothers, Cao Jun supported for only half an hour, and the defense line completely collapsed. Wu Yunzhao and Yang Jiye protected Sima Yi and retreated to the northeast in embarrassment. They retreated for more than ten miles in one breath, before stopping the decline.

Ma Chao led his army to a big victory, full of ambition, and stationed his cavalry on the official road in the middle, it was completely a posture of one man guarding the gate, and no one could open it.

Sima Yi managed to gather the defeated soldiers with great difficulty. After a count, the casualties exceeded 2000. Sima Yi was so angry that his eyes lit up. This Ma Chao has no other skills, but this sneak attack skill is very smooth!
"Mr. Zhongda..."

Wu Yunzhao and Yang Jiye came over, blushing. After all, neither of them subdued Ma Chao. In the battle, Ma Chao beat him to shame!
"What should we do next? I really didn't expect Xiliang Jingqi to be so fierce..."

Yang Jiye said in a harsh voice.

Sima Yi's face was also extremely ugly. It was the first time that the prime minister entrusted himself with the task of commanding the troops. He didn't expect that he would fail in the first battle. He was caught off guard by Ma Chao. Damn it, once the prime minister came back, how could he be in front of the prime minister? Can you hold your head up?
"Sir, sir..."

Yang Jiye continued to shout.

Sima Yi took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Ma Chao is just a mediocre man, brave but not scheming. In the future, I will teach him to die under my schemes!"

While he was speaking, general Zheng Xiang quickly walked into the big tent, bowed and said, "Reporting to the military division, the two generals, Ma Chao led the army, and stationed the troops at Wujiapo, ten miles away from us. On our way to Wuling, unless we defeat Ma Chao, otherwise, we will not be able to go to Wuling at all..."

"Understood, let's go!"

Sima Yi said in a deep voice, Zheng Xiang bowed and walked out, Sima Yi set his eyes on the map.

"General Wu, General Yang, now that Ma Chao is commanding and commanding a large number of cavalry, it is almost impossible to defeat Ma Chao head-on."

Sima Yi sighed.

Yang Jiye said in a deep voice: "For the current plan, we must either wait for the lord to come, or lure Ma Chao to Wujiapo, otherwise, we have no chance of winning if we fight head-on!"

Sima Yi nodded and said: "General Yang is right. He is just waiting for the lord to enter Wuling. I am afraid that Li Shimin's main force will also arrive. Although our army is stronger, most of our tens of thousands of troops are newly recruited and lack strict training. Combat experience and overall strength may not be able to take advantage, now we can only rely on us..."

"Does the military division have a good strategy?"

Wu Yunzhao asked.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and replied: "Perhaps we can take a chance. General Yang, thank you for your kindness. Late tomorrow night, we will lead four thousand cavalry to raid Ma Chao's camp at night!"

Yang Jiye was stunned, and hesitated: "Military commander, what Ma Chao is best at is cavalry raids. How could he not be prepared for our night raids? Four thousand cavalry raided Ma Chao's camp. Don't say that Ma Chao was prepared, even if he was not prepared, four thousand troops , I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Ma Chao, at most he will be disgraced, the gain outweighs the loss..."

Sima Yi sneered and said, "Of course I know that night raids are not effective. I asked you to carry out night raids not to defeat Ma Chao's cavalry, but to completely enrage Ma Chao and lure him to attack!"

"Pursue?"

Yang Jiye and Wu Yunzhao were stunned and wondered.

Sima Yi replied: "Yes, taking advantage of the darkness, I will take advantage of two nights to ambush [-] troops in Chentang Valley, ten miles southeast, with more bows and crossbows. The terrain here is high on both sides, low in the middle, and The terrain is narrow, entering Chentangyu, Ma Chao's cavalry can't use it, there is no room for assault, his cavalry is not much stronger than our infantry! It is in Chentangyu, here is the funeral of Ma Chao's cavalry body place!"

Ma Chao stationed his troops at a high place, thinking that even if Sima Yi had grown wings, he would not be able to fly there. As soon as the Lord's army arrived, he could swallow Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops in one go. Of course, he was not too arrogant. , relying solely on his own cavalry, he completely defeated Sima Yi's infantry.

After all, the former defeated Sima Yi by relying on a sudden cavalry assault, which caught Sima Yi by surprise. Cao Jun was inexperienced, so he suffered a big loss. It's not that easy anymore.

Over the past two years, Ma Chao has gotten to know Li Shimin better and admired Li Shimin even more deeply. This young man is a born winner, not a few years older than himself, but he has vision and a broad mind. Even his most conceited battle commander is far superior to him. He believed that Li Shimin's main army was not far away, and it would arrive in Wuling in a few days, and then devour Sima Yi's army in one fell swoop.

However, what Ma Chao didn't expect was that Cao Jun led by Sima Yi would actually dare to launch a surprise attack on his camp!
Time, fourth watch.

Yang Jiye and Wu Yunzhao attacked together, riding [-] paces each, and raided Ma Chao's camp from the left and right sides.

Although Ma Chao's camp was also guarded by cavalry, in a short period of time, it was still scrambled by thousands of cavalry led by Yang Jiye and Wu Yunzhao.

Before reaching Ma Chao's camp, Cao Jun first opened the way with rockets. Thousands of rockets landed in Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry camp, and ignited the scattered tents, grain and grass in the camp. There was chaos, and then thousands of Cao troops rushed in and rushed into the Xiliang army camp!
Upon receiving the news, Ma Chao was furious, jumped out of the commander's account, mounted his horse with a gun, and began to command the cavalry of the personal guards, launching a counterattack against Cao Jun.

In the middle of the night, it was pitch black, and the camp was completely in disarray. Although the Xiliang army was brave, but in the dark night and in a hurry, they were unable to mount their horses and assemble. Small.

Finally, Ma Chao and Ma Dai reversed the situation with the help of their fine cavalry, and began to suppress Cao Jun's surprise attack. When they were about to encircle and wipe them out, Cao Jun, led by Wu Yunzhao and Yang Jiye, began to retreat towards the southeast.

Want to run?

How could Ma Chao, who was burning with anger, make Cao Jun withdraw so easily?

"Second brother, you lead the army to defend the camp, and I lead five thousand cavalry to pursue. This time, this Cao army must be wiped out!"

Ma Chao shouted loudly, and led a cavalry to chase and kill Cao Jun. It was too late for Ma Dai to stop Ma Chao! !
