The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 573 Cutting off beard and discarding robe
"Boom~"
On the vast plain, the earth suddenly trembled violently, and the thunderous sound of hoofbeats came from far to near. Amidst the billowing smoke, strong horses galloped past. In an instant, they had reached a small hill before slowing down. Slowly stopping, the originally disorganized knights quickly formed a cavalry formation on the hill, making a counter-charge stance.
"General, there are traces of the enemy ten miles south! There are a lot of them!" A scout rushed over and bowed to Ma Chao, who looked tired on the horse.
The arrogance on Ma Chao's face could not hide his fatigue. He had not slept for three days. When Xiahou Dun and Le Jin originally led their troops to fight, Ma Chao lost interest in fighting. After all, the opponent's strength was Almost twice as strong as himself, Ma Chao is sometimes brave and fierce, but he is not brainless. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses cannot be lost here in vain, and Chen Mo had already told him before he sent out troops that if he found a huge enemy force, Retreat immediately without hesitation!
Ma Chao did indeed do this, but soon he discovered that it was not just Xiahou Dun and Le Jin who were surrounding him, but also Li Dian, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Hong, who were supporting him and wanted to outflank him.
Ma Chao's wolf-like intuition saved Ma Chao's life. After smelling the danger, Ma Chao decisively led his troops to retreat. Then he saw a famous cavalry in Cao's army - the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If he hadn't left in time, , just one step away from being entangled by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"There are soldiers and horses blocking the road in the west, and there are also in the north. You can't go to the east. Now the south is also blocked. It's good!" Ma Chao sat on the horse, feeling angry in his heart. He suddenly turned his horse's head and looked at the soldiers around him. Said: "Soldiers, Cao Cao is trying to trap us to death. He started fighting at the age of twelve. It has been twenty years. This is the first time that he has been so aggrieved. He can only kill one or two people. Instead of being so suppressed, Why don’t you give it a try!”
"We will follow the general to the death!" A group of soldiers were forced to run around like bereaved dogs by Cao Jun in the past two days. They were also feeling aggrieved. When had the Guanzhong Army been so aggrieved? The anger in their hearts was rising.
"Which side has the most people?" Ma Chao looked at this scene with satisfaction. These days of running around in embarrassment did not completely destroy the morale of these Guanzhong generals, which is good.
"Back to the general, the east side has the largest number of troops." A general reminded that the east side is in the direction of Suiyang and should be the main force of Cao's army.
"Okay, let's go to the east!" Ma Chao shouted immediately.
The army turned around, immediately threw away the encircling soldiers and horses from the south, and headed straight towards Suiyang.
On the other side, in the south, Xia Houyuan was not surprised to receive the news that Ma Chao was pushing away. After all, the army was encircled. As long as Ma Chao struggled with them for a while, soldiers and horses from other directions would quickly encircle and stop Ma Chao's men.
"Where are they going?" Xia Houyuan stopped, looked at the scout and asked.
"Returning to the direction of Suiyang, general." The scout bowed.
Suiyang, that is... Xia Houyuan was stunned. Suiyang is where Cao Cao's main force is. Why did Ma Chao go there?
not good!
Xia Houyuan's expression suddenly changed. Cao Cao's side seemed to be the loudest, but in fact, Cao Cao was surrounded by troops responsible for mobilizing logistics. No one expected that Ma Chao would run to Cao Cao's side at this time.
"Quick, march faster and catch up!" Xia Houyuan roared, and quickly led his troops and horses to run in the direction of Ma Chao.
…
On the other side, Cao Cao obviously did not expect that Ma Chao would come to the place where he seemed to be the most powerful at this time. In addition to guarding the army, his side mainly focused on baggage. It looked huge, but his strength was because of Because all the soldiers and horses went out to surround Ma Chao, he was the weakest.
When he learned that Ma Chao was coming towards him, Cao Cao was a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, from the perspective of the battle, even if Ma Chao wanted to fight to the death, he shouldn't have chosen his place. .
Without thinking too much, he just asked the soldiers to gather in formation and build momentum first. When the time comes...
Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao, who had already charged this way, and his face turned green.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Ma Chao raised the spear in his hand and charged fiercely at Cao Cao's army who had formed their formation, directly interrupting Cao Cao's thoughts.
Looking at the large number of soldiers and horses of Cao's army, most of them were civilians or recruits who were new to the battlefield and were responsible for transporting supplies. I never dreamed that they would be the first team to fight against the Guanzhong Army.
What is the difference between new recruits and veterans?
Facing the menacing officers from Guanzhong who rushed over as if they were all going to die together, many of the soldiers standing in front of the formation with their spears began to tremble. After the crossbowmen fired their bows and arrows, they forgot to retreat to make room for the crossbowmen in the back row. The arrows fired did not pose a threat. Although they killed dozens of enemy soldiers, they forgot to step back and hand over the battlefield to the spearmen. They watched the opponent's cavalry rush over, and then they woke up like they were dreaming. , screaming and retreating.
Cao Cao: "..."
It's really hard to train new recruits.
The command flag was waved and a famous general shouted and cursed. Many people ran away, causing the formation to become a bit chaotic. Looking at the Guanzhong Army rushing towards them with murderous intent, many recruits' legs became weak and they lifted their spears. Seems a little weak.
"Throw the gun, shoot!"
The moment the two sides approached, Ma Chao roared, and he had already prepared his spear and shot it with shaking hands. In an instant, all the spearmen in the front row were dead, and the living ones were heartbroken. They could no longer maintain the military formation and rolled around. Climb and run backwards.
This Cao army is so weak!
Ma Chao had such thoughts in his mind during the charge, but then he threw them out of his mind. At this time, no matter how strong or weak he was, he just had to do it.
"Boom~" The huge cavalry formation slammed into the Cao army's formation, like a torrent hitting a slope. The seemingly solid breakthrough collapsed instantly. How could these logistical troops composed of new recruits and civilians resist the battle-hardened elites of Guanzhong.
The moment Cao Cao realized that this army was serious, he turned around and fled with Xu Chu and the Tiger Guard Battalion. He knew very well that such a mob of new recruits and civilians could not stop an elite Guanzhong who dared to go deep alone. No matter how capable Cao Cao was, he could not turn a mob into an elite in such a short time. If he really had this ability, Cao Cao must have gathered a real 300,000 troops first, and Chen Mo would not be a concern.
Unfortunately, he did not. Facing the fierce Ma Chao, he could only run!
When Ma Chao charged into the crowd, he also found that this was simply a mob, not Cao's elite troops. He had fought with Cao's troops before, and he was deceived.
Ma Chao naturally had no interest in this mob. His eyes had long been locked on Cao Cao, who had already begun to flee.
He had never seen Cao Cao, but he recognized Cao Cao's flag. After breaking through the mob with his cavalry, he chased Cao Cao. Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Ma Chao suddenly shouted: "Cao Mengde, where are you running!?"
Cao Cao subconsciously looked back and saw that Ma Chao had gradually left the cavalry team and rushed towards this side.
Ma Chao was overjoyed when he saw someone looking back. He didn't expect that he was right. He immediately shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to kill! The man with a long beard is Cao thief!"
Cao Cao's face darkened when he heard this. Cao Mengde, one of the two heroes in the Central Plains, had always been the only one who fooled others, but today he was actually tricked by a reckless man.
Seeing that Ma Chao's cavalry and infantry were gradually separated, a guard shouted to Cao Cao: "My lord, hurry up, I will stop him!"
At this time, Cao Cao had no mood to say anything, but just nodded silently.
Immediately, a group of people separated and went to meet Ma Chao.
The leading general shouted: "The thief, stop being crazy!"
"Kill!"
The two groups of people quickly attacked in one place. After a brief confrontation, the less than 500 soldiers were quickly broken and chased again.
Cao Cao had no choice but to draw a short sword from his waist and cut off his very well-groomed long beard strand by strand.
Ma Chao had sharp eyes and had been staring at Cao Cao. Seeing this, he had an idea in his heart and pointed his spear and said: "The one wearing a red robe is Cao the thief!"
Cao Cao's hand, which was cutting his beard, couldn't help but tremble, and the short sword almost cut his neck.
It's impolite. Even Chen Mo had to respectfully call him brother. This Ma Chao kept calling him Cao the thief, which really made people want to rush up and tear Ma Chao's mouth to pieces!
Of course, Cao Cao only thought about such a scene, but did not really take action. Now was not the time to act on impulse, so he silently took off his robe and threw it away.
"The one riding the white horse is Cao the thief!" The shout from behind made Cao Cao's heart tremble. The beard could be cut and the robe could be thrown away, but if the horse was thrown away, he might as well surrender.
"My lord, I will fight him!" Xu Chu's face darkened. What kind of thing was this? He immediately reined in his warhorse and rushed towards Ma Chao with the tiger guards.
The Tiger Guard Battalion was Cao Cao's guard, just like Chen Mo's personal guard battalion. They were all brave and brave men picked from a hundred miles away. They were not the same as the defeated soldiers before. The two troops soon collided with each other. The Tiger Guard Battalion, which Ma Chao thought could be easily defeated, actually blocked Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry. The two sides fought in one place. Ma Chao's cavalry was actually blocked by this Tiger Guard for a while. Xu Chu was even more courageous. He chopped left and right with a big knife. No one could match him wherever he passed.
Ma Chao was furious when he saw this. He roared, rushed towards Xu Chu with a spear, and roared: "Ugly ghost, don't hurt my soldiers!"
"Come on!" Xu Chu smiled grimly, without dodging, and slashed at Ma Chao.
The spear and the broadsword collided in the air, creating a trail of sparks. Ma Chao was on horseback, and was almost knocked off the horse. Xu Chu sat on his horse, which neighed and slowed down involuntarily.
The two men slowly reined in their horses. Ma Chao casually shot a spear and killed the tiger guards who came up. Xu Chu killed two cavalrymen with his broadsword, turned his horse's head, and the two rushed towards each other again...
