(ps: Today we will continue with three updates, one chapter will be updated in the early morning, and the other two updates will be updated during the day, so stay tuned...) Thick smoke is billowing, fire is raging, and the Yan Army's former camp has been completely swallowed up by the fire.
At the same time, there were also billowing black smoke rising into the sky in both the left and right directions.
Ma Chao turned his head and glanced at Wen Chou, who was stabbed to death by a random gun. There was a kind of regret in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Put Wen Chou in a coffin and give him a generous burial. Such a heroic man should not be left here."
"promise!"
Afterwards, Ma Chao led Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and more than 3,000 ghost cavalry towards the Chinese army, preparing to attack the Yan army's Chinese camp together with Suo Xu and Wang Shuang.
…
The central camp of the Yan Army had already become very empty. All the things that should be taken away were taken away, leaving nothing behind.
Wei Yan quickly rushed into the Chinese army camp with more than 300 light cavalry. He was still frightened by the battle just now. This was the first time he saw the ghost army's throwing weapon style, which gave him a
He was caught off guard. If he hadn't reacted quickly and escaped with the remaining cavalry under the cover of thick smoke, he would have been killed by random gunfire.
As soon as Wei Yan entered the Chinese army camp, a few fast horses came galloping from the right. The leader was Guan Hai. He had a trace of frustration on his face, holding a big sword and a helmet on his head.
I don't know where it fell. My whole body was covered in thick smoke and I looked very embarrassed.
As soon as the two sides met, Wei Yan asked: "General Guan, have the others already..."
Guan Hai sighed first, then nodded and said: "Don't mention it, I was too careless... His grandma's, I have fought hundreds of thousands of battles, and in large and small battles, I still
I have never seen such a fighting method. During the cavalry charge, they actually threw out all their spears. The soldiers were unprepared. Coupled with the rapid impact, the casualties were heavy. I almost didn't come back..."
Having said this, Guan Hai looked at the more than 300 remnant soldiers brought back by Wei Yan and asked: "General Wei, have you also encountered this situation?"
Wei Yan sighed and said, "What a damn shame!"
Guan Hai and Wei Yan stopped talking and moved their gazes to the front. After waiting for a short while, Wen Chou did not appear. The two of them looked at each other with an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"General Wen is always on time. Could it be that something unexpected happened?" Wei Yan said anxiously.
"Bah, bah, bah..." Guan Hai spat hurriedly, "Shut your crow mouth quickly. General Wen is one of the Five Tiger Generals. He has superb martial arts and has been in battle for many years. We are all back, how could he not be able to come back?"
Come?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of ghost cavalry came from the front, right and left directions of the Chinese army camp. They were roaring and approaching quickly on horseback.
"It's Xiliang soldiers. Could it be that General Wen..." Wei Yan and Guan Hai saw the ghost cavalry appearing directly in front of them. The leader was Ma Chao. They were shocked and probably guessed the outcome of the matter. Without saying anything,
He led his cavalrymen and galloped towards the rear army.
At this time, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He had already prepared all their defenses. There was only one way to Juan County. There were dense woods on both sides, which was not suitable for cavalry to pass through. Moreover, the dead animals in the woods were rotting over the years.
A large swamp has accumulated, and the woods are filled with miasma. Once people enter it, they will be attacked by the miasma.
An earth wall has been built on the official road that is ten meters wide. The earth and sharpened wooden stakes are mixed together, which can effectively withstand the impact of the cavalry. Five such earth walls have been built in a row, leaving a gap in the middle.
Only one cavalry can pass through the gap, and the crossbowmen are waiting behind the last earth wall in full formation, just like a small checkpoint.
Zhao Yun was in front, Zhang Liao and Zhang He were on his left and right. The three of them rode horses and stood at the front of the earth wall, looking at the official road ahead, their eyes full of expectation.
"General Zhao, time is getting increasingly urgent. Do you want to take action now?" Zhang He broke the silence first.
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "No need for the time being. When the enemy approaches, it will not be too late to take action. Now all the troops have retreated. The soldiers and horses of the front, left and right battalions are all injured. Except for the vanguard battalion Wang Wei led the cavalry movement
After we got out of the food, all the food in the left and right battalions were burned. Now only Wen Chou, Wei Yan, and Guan Hai have not returned. We must wait patiently until all three generals return before we can leave here.
"
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He finally saw someone coming on the official road. Wei Yan and Guan Hai were leading the way, followed by hundreds of remaining cavalry. They all looked embarrassed, and some soldiers were still carrying
Hurt, but Wen Chou was never found.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He all frowned, and after looking at each other, there was worry in their eyes.
When Wei Yan and Guan Hai approached, before they could say anything, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang He saw the shadows of the Xiliang soldiers in the dust raised by Wei Yan, Guan Hai and others, and the leader of the group rode forward, it was Ma Chao.
"You all retreat to the back!" Zhao Yun raised his moon-watching gun and ordered.
Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wei Yan, Guan Hai and the hundreds of cavalry withdrew, but Zhao Yun stayed where he was, motionless.
Ma Chao was holding a newly made Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear in his hand, and was riding high on his horse. When he rushed out of the dust and saw Zhao Yun, his pupils instantly enlarged, with a kind of incomparable joy on his face, secretly
He thought: "I didn't have a lot of fun playing with him last time, and there was no clear winner. This time I will definitely fight Zhao Yun to see who is better."
The soldiers had retreated behind the five earthen walls, but Zhao Yun stood alone at the front of the earthen wall. When he saw Ma Chao suddenly approaching with his army, his expression did not change, but he thought in his heart: "Wei Yan, Guan Hai is back.
, they and Wen Chou took away 3,000 light cavalry, but only more than 300 cavalry came back. It seems that Ma Chao's army is really strong. However, Wen Chou did not return. Did he surrender to Ma Chao in response to the wind, or was he killed in battle?
Already..."
When Ma Chao was still some way away from Zhao Yun, he reined in his horse, raised the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear high into the air, and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
The four generals Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang, Suo Xu and Qian Hu stopped neatly with the ghost cavalry, came behind Ma Chao, and waited quietly.
Suo Xu noticed the earth wall behind Zhao Yun, and saw many sharpened wooden stakes protruding from the earth, like a very strong Jima, and the earth wall was built back every one meter, and he couldn't help but frown.
He raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "It seems that the Yan army has been prepared for a long time. Your Majesty, please don't charge forcefully..."
Ma Chao glanced at the five earthen walls and said: "The enemy is right in front of me, and he is about to kill Gao Fei. If I can't kill all these guys who are blocking the way, then how can I capture Gao Fei?"
, so what’s the point of this action?”
"Your Majesty, what my subordinates said is the truth. It is to reduce casualties. It is wise to not pursue the enemy when you are in trouble. Moreover, the enemy has built defense fortifications. If we fight hard, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties. And the king doesn't know Gao Fei.
in the end
Where they are hiding, the opponent has a hundred thousand troops. Although they were slightly damaged by our army's sneak attack, their vitality has not been harmed. If we continue to chase them, we will be in trouble." Suo Xu saw that Ma Chao did not adopt his opinion, so he
retorted.
"That's enough! I have made up my mind, don't say anything more. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Ma Chao couldn't bear to hear others oppose him, so he was very disgusted with Suo Xu's words and said a harsh word.
Suo Xu no longer refuted, but felt extremely unhappy in his heart, and said: "In this case, please ask your Majesty Enzhunchen to take his troops and leave here, so that your Majesty will not have anyone to collect the corpses!"
"Suo Xu!" Ma Chao was angry, turned to glare at Suo Xu, and shouted loudly, "Tie this rebellious traitor to me, and wait until I kill Gao Fei before I kill him!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang and Qian Hu hurriedly advised.
"Whoever dares to intercede for Suo Xu will be deemed to have committed the following crime and shall be punished for the crime of treason!"
Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang, and Qian Hu all stopped talking and cast sympathetic glances at Suo Xu.
After a while, two cavalrymen came to Suo Xu and took Suo Xu away directly.
Zhao Yun saw everything happening on the other side, but did not hear the details. He said in confusion: "Strange, why did one of our own people tie up one of our own?"
At this time, Ma Chao rode forward a few steps and said proudly: "Zhao Yun, we meet again!"
Zhao Yun smiled and agreed: "Yes, we meet each other everywhere in life."
"I let you run away last time, so we didn't have a good fight. This time, in front of the soldiers of both armies, do you dare to fight me alone?" Ma Chao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he held the fire secret in his hands tightly.
Lu Qiang was ready to rush out at any time.
Zhao Yun laughed twice and said: "The last time was the last time, and this time is this time, but I firmly believe that we will meet again..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun turned the horse's head and drove quickly into the gap in the earth wall, returning to the Yan army's front.
Ma Chao had never been ridiculed like this before. He felt as if his lungs were going to explode. He pointed the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear forward and shouted loudly: "Kill me!"
Before the words could even be finished, Ma Chao was the first to rush over. Behind him, Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang, and Qian Hu rushed forward with all the cavalry.
Zhao Yun saw Ma Chao rushing over with his troops, a smile appeared on his lips, he turned to Zhang Liao and said: "Wen Yuan, you can start."
Zhang Liao nodded, waved a small yellow flag a few times, and all the crossbowmen hidden in the dense forest on both sides of the official road emerged. Thousands of arrows were fired at once. The dense crossbow arrows were like locusts, one after another.
