Naturally, this news could not escape the eyes of Zhong Yao's spies who planted in the Xiliang Army.

Knowing that the conflict between Ma Chao and Han Sui had escalated, Zhong Yao and others were also ecstatic.

Then, as they expected, the Xiliang army scolded for a few days to no avail, and they didn't come to scold them, as if they had lost interest in attacking Tongguan.

But Zhong Yao knew in his heart that the Xiliang army would not wait long and would retreat.

Sure enough, as Zhong Yao expected, three days later, the Xiliang Army broke out in another big battle between Ma Chao and Han Sui. Although the two sides tried their best to control the casualties, the alliance broke down.

Early the next morning, Han Sui led his army and left without saying goodbye, leaving Ma Chao and other small princes to continue watching outside the pass.

Chapter 493 Encirclement and Anti-encirclement

Ma Chao and the small princes combined had only about [-] troops. To Zhong Yao, there was no threat, but he didn't want to send troops either. After all, the outcome would be unpredictable.

But Zhong Yao's refusal to attack does not mean that Ma Chao will not send troops either. Once Han Sui left, he alone had the final say in the army.

After several days of hard work and tens of thousands of casualties, Ma Chao would naturally not be willing to retreat, but whether there was any hope of tackling key problems, he could only continue to lead the troops and fight at Tongguan.

When Han Sui was there, the Xiliang Army had the superiority in numbers, so it was fine to come and insult him, but now that the soldiers and horses of the two sides are almost the same, Cao Hong naturally couldn't bear it.

In order to suppress Ma Chao's arrogance, Cao Hong asked Zhong Yao to go out for a battle, venting the anger Cao Jun had endured for many days.

Cao Jun was very passionate, Zhong Yao patrolled every day, and he knew best in his heart that it was only natural for them to vent their anger, so he had no choice but to let Cao Hong go out of the city to fight.

After so many changes, the Xiliang army had lost all morale. Facing Cao Hong's departure from the customs, they had no intention of fighting. In just half an hour, they looked broken.

If it weren't for Ma Chao leading his headquarters to resist desperately, Cao Jun would have defeated him in one fell swoop if he didn't do it for half an hour.

Seeing that the army's defeat was obvious, Ma Chao had no choice but to lead his army back to Dazhai.

Seeing this, Cao Hong wanted to lead his army to pursue the victory, but Zhong Yao, who was closed, ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops in order to avoid accidents.

Hearing the sound of gold, Cao Hong led his army back to the pass helplessly. The Cao army won a complete victory in this battle, and their morale reached an unprecedented peak.

However, the Xiliang Army was defeated again and again, and could no longer gather morale to fight Cao Jun.

Faced with such a situation, Ma Chao was furious, beating or scolding the newly recruited generals of various minor forces.

Under Ma Chao's violent pressure, the small princes of Xiliang who followed Ma Chao fled in the dark. In less than two days, Ma Chao was the only one left.

In desperation, Ma Chao could only lead his army away cursing.

Ma Chao, after these days of tackling key problems, there are not many soldiers and horses, less than 2, and morale is also low.

Facing this great opportunity, Cao Hong couldn't bear it, so he immediately found Zhong Yao and asked to send troops.

After thinking about it, Zhong Yao thought it was an opportunity, so after thinking about it, he agreed to send troops.

Cao Hong was allowed to lead an army of [-] in the pass, and chased and killed Ma Chao all the way, fearing that he would escape.

Ma Chao, who was slowly marching, had a smile on his face when he learned that Cao Hong led the army to pursue him. During this time, he was overwhelmed.

In order to successfully complete Han Sui's plan, Ma Chao can be said to put aside his most valued face, just to let Cao Jun go out of the customs.

"Haha." Ma Chao laughed heartily twice, and said to Pang De: "General Pang, you go and inform Han Sui to let him act according to the plan. Benzhou Mu stays and fights against Cao Hong."

"Okay, Master State Shepherd, take care." Pound clasped his fist, patted his horse and led the army away.

Seeing Pang De leave, Ma Chao ordered the remaining [-] troops to line up to meet the enemy.

Cao Hong was overjoyed when he learned that Ma Chao had divided his troops. Thinking that Ma Chao was staying behind, he hurriedly led his army to chase after him.

Half an hour later, the two armies collided, and Cao Hong said arrogantly: "Ma Chao, now that you have betrayed your relatives, you should get off your horse and be bound. Follow me to Xuchang and wait for your Majesty to order!"

Ma Chao swung his spear and shouted: "If you can defeat Benzhou Mu, it's not impossible to go to Xuchang with you."

Hearing this, Cao Hong knew that he was no match, so he stopped wasting his saliva, waved his hand, and ordered the whole army to charge and kill.

Three thousand against thirty thousand, one to ten, Ma Chao has no chance of winning at all, but the three thousand army is the elite of Ma Chao's headquarters, and it is difficult for Cao Hong to win for a while.

Ma Chao was in Cao Jun's encirclement, leading the army to rush from left to right, like a fish in water, and killed him profusely. Cao Hong had nothing to do with him, but slowly narrowed the encirclement, trying to trap them to death.

After three hours of fierce fighting, seeing that the number of Xiliang troops in the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, Cao Hong had a smug smile on his face, as if he saw Ma Chao being bound.

But at this moment, a scout galloped over. "Report, report! The big thing is not good, there are countless Xiliang troops around, and they are encircling our army."

"Oops!" Cao Hong exclaimed, and quickly shouted: "Hurry up! Order Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and the whole army retreats in formation. Anyone who messes up the formation will be killed!"

As soon as Cao Hong's order came out, the golden voice sounded immediately, and the flag kept waving.

Seeing this, General Cao, who was leading the army to siege, knew that something unexpected had happened, so he quickly led his army to withdraw from the battle circle in an orderly manner.

Cao Jun wanted to leave, but Ma Chao would not let them retreat so easily, and immediately led the remaining army, rampaging in Cao Jun's retreating formation.

Under Ma Chao's shit-stirring stick, Cao Jun could not form a formation to retreat at all, and could only be forced to continue to resist.

Seeing that the army was so entangled by Ma Chao that he could not separate himself, Cao Hong was also decisive. He left [-] troops on the spot and surrounded the only remaining Ma Chao's troops, hoping to let most of them break out.

Throwing the car to protect the handsome, under Cao Hong's choice, the remaining [-] soldiers of Cao's army began to speed up, preparing to break through and return to Tongguan.

But Cao Hong underestimated Han Sui. After Han Sui left, he kept spreading his army everywhere and made sufficient preparations. How could Cao Jun break out so easily.

Seeing that the army could not break through for a long time, Cao Hong was so anxious that his eyebrows frowned.

Suddenly Cao Hong waved his sword in his hand, and said to the left and right generals: "Go and draw veterans of more than three years to form three thousand dead soldiers, and then I will break through the encirclement."

The situation was critical, the general saluted with his fists in his hands, and hurried to gather troops.

After waiting for a cup of tea, after the three thousand veterans gathered, Cao Hong shouted: "There is no way out now, we can only fight a bloody road. If you die in battle, Cao Gong will help you support the whole family. How dare you Sui Ben will break out of the encirclement."

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

Staying is also a dead end, it is better to fight hard, maybe there is still hope to survive, three thousand veterans burst into amazing cries.

Seeing this, Cao Hong showed determination on his face, slapped his horse, and led [-] dead soldiers, and rushed out.

But when Cao Jun's explosive shouts sounded, Pang De had led his headquarters to the breakout point.

At this time, Cao Hong rushed forward at the head of the horse, with the instinctive belligerence of a Xiliang general on his face, he rushed over with his horse's belly.

"Boom!"

The two of them knew each other's strength when they fought each other's weapons, and their faces were dignified.
