Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Pound's suggestion is the best way, and Ma Chao also has a way to do it, so naturally he will not speak out against it.

The plan was set in this way, and the Xiliang army started to attack early the next morning after breakfast.

When Cao Jun heard the sound of the siege horn, he quickly returned to his original position and started a new day of defense.

You attack and I defend, everything is going on like yesterday, but as the sun rose, the Xiliang army suddenly changed.

First, Ma Chao led [-] elite cavalry to launch cavalry and shooting at the pass, and dealt a fatal blow to Cao Jun who was too late to guard against it.

Not long after riding and shooting, Ma Chao led [-] dead men and took over the siege sequence, preventing Cao Jun from having a moment to breathe.

Ma Chao was shirtless and wearing soft armor. Because the spear was not good for climbing, he was biting the long knife in his mouth and climbing up the ladder nimbly with both hands.

Constantly avoiding falling boulders and rolling logs, Ma Chao boarded Tongguan in just one minute, and distanced himself from the following Xiliang army.

Someone climbed the Guanlou, and Cao Jun who found it immediately raised his weapon and wanted to stab Ma Chao to death with random guns.

But Ma Chao is very skilled in martial arts, and the ordinary Cao Jun is his opponent. To meet him is just a waste of his life.

Ma Chao was killing all directions at the pass, turning Cao Jun's defense line upside down, creating a brief opportunity for the climbing Xiliang Army.

General Cao, who was leading the defense, lost his mind for a short while, and hurriedly sent someone to pass the news that Ma Chao had climbed the tower to Cao Hong's ears.

I thought that the Xiliang army would not attack the city desperately like yesterday, so Cao Hong did not preside over the defense line, but dispatched troops to the rear.

At the moment when he got the news, Cao Hong was frightened and hurriedly led his guards to close the building, fearing that if he went late, the Xiliang army would take Tongguan.

When Cao Hong came to Guanshang, hundreds of Xiliang troops had gathered behind Ma Chao, occupying a corner of Guanshang, and the Xiliang troops from Guanxia also continued to climb up.

The situation was critical, Cao Hong had no time to think about it, and hurriedly led his personal guards into the battlefield.

"call!"

Ma Chao, who was slaughtering Cao Bing, suddenly felt a sharp wind of the knife, and quickly swung the knife instinctively, and took two steps back.

"Boom!"

Stabilizing his figure, Ma Chao looked forward with both eyes, and saw that it was Cao Hong, and immediately showed a bloodthirsty expression on his face. "Cao Hong, Honshu Mu is going to take your head off today."

Cao Hong clenched his broadsword slightly in both hands, and said disdainfully: "Ma Chao, His Majesty named you Xiliang Shepherd, it's fine for you to fight innocently in Xiliang, but now you're still committing crimes, and you dare to attack Tongguan with the intention of rebelling."

Ma Chao said coldly: "Zhong Yao led the army into Xiliang to help the rebels, and the shepherds of this state sent troops to Tongguan. Don't you feel ashamed to spout blood here? Look at the knife!"

After the words fell, Ma Chao ran a few steps quickly, and slashed Cao Hong's forehead with a knife.

Seeing the sword falling, Cao Hong held the sword in both hands and quickly raised it to meet him.

"Boom!"

The two knives intersected, and there was a sound of metal clashing. Ma Chao immediately kicked out, directly hitting Cao Hong's abdomen.

But Cao Hong is also a battle-tested general, and his reaction speed is also extremely fast. He turned his body slightly to avoid the kick.

The two main generals were either attacking or defending, and the soldiers on both sides naturally would not stop and watch, and started fighting around the incoming person.

Cao Jun has the advantage of having a large number of people, can suppress the Xiliang Army, and can also help Cao Hong and interfere with Ma Chao, so it is still difficult to analyze the outcome for a while.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, seeing that the Xiliang army was getting less and less, Pang De said to Han Sui: "General Han, Zhou Mu has already attacked the Guanlou, and it is time to go all out, please send more troops and horses." , into the research.”

Han Sui shook his head slightly and said: "There are nearly [-] people in Mazhou Mu's headquarters. They should be able to take down the Guanlou. Why don't you wait a little longer. After all, Tongguan is such a big place, and even if you invest a lot, you won't be able to achieve it." Effect."

Although the words are correct, the battle situation has reached a stalemate at this time, and there is no other way but to boost morale by external force.

The best way to improve morale is to send troops into the battlefield, so that they can see hope and the hope of winning Tongguan.

It is impossible for Han Sui to understand this truth. What he wants may be to see both Ma Chao and Cao Jun suffer.

Pang De was also aware of Han Sui's careful thoughts, and he said with a slight anger on his face: "General Han, if you don't send troops, then Pang will have to order Ming Jin to withdraw the troops. When the state shepherd asks, Pang will truthfully explain."

Hearing the threat, Han Sui said helplessly, "Since General Pang asks, then we should invest in troops."

It is also a good thing for Han Sui that the Xiliang army is occupying Guanlou. Cao Cao will be impatient when he captures Tongguan, and his importance will also be raised several levels.

Under Han Sui's order, a 3000-strong army of the Xiliang Army began to attack and rushed towards Tongguan.

Chapter 489 Another Day

With the addition of fresh blood, the morale of the Xiliang army, which had been fighting hard for a long time, began to slowly improve, and the climbing speed increased a lot.

Pang De, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that the situation of the battle had turned around, and he felt a little excitement in his heart. He hurriedly ordered the drummer to beat the drums to boost the morale of the Xiliang army who were fighting bloody battles.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of drums came from far to near, and the morale of the Xiliang army, which had improved, recovered quickly. Everyone's face began to show bloodthirsty, and they fought frantically with Cao Jun. For a while, Cao Jun, who was so numerous, The killer retreated steadily.

Cao Hong, who was fighting fiercely with Ma Chao, had been slashed on his arm, and his clothes were stained red by the bright red blood, but he could not feel any pain on his face.

Seeing Cao Jun retreating, Cao Hong's heart was on fire. Cao Cao once told him that if Tongguan was lost, the difficulty of conquering Xiliang would be greatly increased, and it might take more than double the time, which would delay Cao Cao's great cause.

As a direct general of Cao Cao, Cao Hong has always valued what Cao Cao told him more than his life.

"Ah!" Cao Hong roared, taking advantage of Ma Chao's stunned moment, he slashed several times and shouted orders at the same time.

"All the officers and men listen to the order. Starting from this general, whoever takes a step back and kills him will be replaced by the deputy general who died in battle. If the deputy general dies in battle, the partial general will replace him. This order will be valid even after the battle is over, and this general will kill him!"

As soon as the death order came out, Cao Jun had no choice but to fight back desperately. The battlefield entered a stage where either you die or I die, and no one has a way out.

Under the desperate fight between the two sides, Cao Jun, who occupied the number, gradually showed his superiority, and the Xiliang Army began to be unable to keep up.

Cao's army had gradually regained the advantage they had previously occupied, and the Xiliang army began to be pushed to a corner, struggling to hold on.

Seeing Cao Jun's attitude of seeing death as home, the Xiliang Army has been defeated in heart, but due to Ma Chao's words, there is no sign of defeat yet.

Ma Chao, who was fighting fiercely, might not have noticed this, but he could see clearly from the change of the flag that Pang De was shut down.

Continuing to fight would only increase casualties in vain. Pang De glanced at Han Sui and said, "This Cao Jun is really brave. I'm afraid we won't be able to take Tongguan today. Why don't you withdraw your troops with Ming Jin and fight again tomorrow."

It was better to say hello than to ask. Han Sui knew in his heart that Pang De had made up his mind, so he stopped being a bad person.

"Well, after fighting so hard today, the soldiers must be very tired. Retreating troops earlier can also reduce unnecessary casualties."

Seeing that Han Sui agreed, Pound waved his hand and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

As soon as the golden sound sounded, the Xiliang army who was closing the door, if they encountered an amnesty, they quickly held onto the ladder and slid down.

Ma Chao, who had fought so hard for so long, also had the intention of retreating, but in order to protect the soldiers, he still stood to the end.
