Thirty miles southwest of Jiameng Pass, the 20,000-strong army led by Ma Chao finally arrived here after traveling day and night. As soon as they landed, they immediately moved forward in a forced march. It was already mid-February, and most of the ice and snow had melted.
Therefore, the road was a bit muddy. After walking less than twenty miles, the troops and horses were covered in mud, so we had to stop and temporarily stationed at Sanlipu.
After the temporary camp was set up, before Ma Chao had time to take off his armor, he heard that the scouts came to report that Wei general Xiahou Dun was leading an army and was overtaking this place.
"We've come just in time. Send the order to the whole army to fight!" Ma Chao raised the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear and shouted immediately.
Suddenly, Ma Chao had an idea, and then shouted: "Wait...go and call a few captains over, discuss countermeasures, and see how to win by surprise."
"promise!"
After a while, all the captains gathered together, came to Ma Chao's side, cupped their fists and said, "General."
"Yes! Everyone is sitting down. Now we have a temporary meeting before the war. Xiahou Dun even led an army of 20,000 people to attack from Jiameng Pass. I want to set up an ambush to ambush Xiahou Dun. What do you think?" Ma Chao has no advisers around him, so he can only rely on him.
Several forward captains under the tent immediately asked.
Several forward captains then expressed their opinions one after another, and after reconciling with Ma Chao's opinions, they formulated an ambush plan. After the plan was formulated, it was immediately implemented.
An hour later, Xiahou Dun led an infantry of 20,000 horses and rushed over. The road was muddy, making the troops and horses covered in mud. They looked like they had crawled out of the mud.
"General, the front is Thirty Mile Pu. The Chinese army has set up a temporary camp here. It is not strong at all. As long as the general rushes forward, the camp will be flattened immediately." The scout came back and reported.
road.
Xiahou Dun was full of joy and said with a smile: "In the past, Chang'an City let Ma Chao go, but this time it will not be so easy. Send the order, and the whole army will speed up to give Ma Chao a heavy blow."
"promise!"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiahou Dun took the lead and ran out with a big sword in his hand. Eight hundred cavalry followed closely behind him, and behind him were the rest of the cavalry and infantry.
This area is mostly mountainous, and Ma Chao's stronghold happened to be on the mountain road. The Chinese army's flag was fluttering in the wind, and the flag with the word "horse" in it was blowing loudly.
Xiahou Dun led 3,000 cavalry in front and the remaining 17,000 infantry behind. The 20,000 soldiers and horses attacked the camp without any pause.
The Chinese army's camp was surrounded by dead branches mixed with some stones, and the soldiers looked tired. So after looking at it, Xiahou Dun led his troops and rushed over without even thinking.
When the Chinese soldiers in the camp saw Xiahou Dun leading the mighty army, they all shouted loudly, began to retreat, and ran around. The camp seemed to be in a mess.
After Xiahou Dun saw it, he laughed loudly and said: "The Chinese army is nothing more than this. If I don't take off Ma Chao's head today, I swear that I will not be a human being. Come on, kill them all!"
The Chinese army collapsed in the camp, discarding their helmets and armor for a while, and they did not look like an army at all.
Xiahou Dun took the lead. His prancing horse jumped over the fence outside the camp, and entered the camp with a sword. Unexpectedly, after running forward for only a few steps, the horse under him suddenly stumbled and knocked Xiahou Dun off his horse.
He threw it out. Xiahou Dun was startled. Just when he was about to fall to the ground, he raised himself up with one palm and saw that the hoofs of the horse under him were deeply sunk into a pit. The pit was not big.
But it's enough to jam the horse's hoof deeply.
Except for Xiahou Dun, most of the cavalry behind him were thrown off their horses and fell heavily to the ground. For a moment, they were turned on their backs, causing the cavalry behind him to hurriedly rein in their horses.
At this moment, a horn sound suddenly sounded, and shouts of killing were heard from all directions. Countless arrows were fired at the front of the Wei army in the mountain road. Ma Chao appeared from the soldiers who were escaping from the camp, riding on
The white horse, carrying the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear, galloped towards Xiahou Dun in a refreshing mood.
Seeing such a scene, Xiahou Dun knew that he had been tricked, and immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"
However, just when Xiahou Dun called for retreat, there was a sudden commotion behind the Wei army on the long and endless mountain road. A captain of the Huaxia Army led his troops to intercept the return route. On both sides of the mountain road,
Soldiers of the Huaxia Army appeared one after another. The winding mountain roads seemed to be filled with soldiers of the Huaxia Army. The Wei army was damaged everywhere. The 30,000 Huaxia Army firmly surrounded the 20,000 Wei Army.
"Grandma, you're a bear!" When Xiahou Dun saw Ma Chao approaching him, he immediately grabbed the horse from the intact cavalry around him, got on his horse, and attacked Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao saw Xiahou Dun coming, he sneered. He raised the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear first and stabbed Xiahou Dun quickly.
Not to be outdone, Xiahou Dun turned his blade, blocked Ma Chao's shot, and slashed towards Ma Chao's head. The battle between the two quickly became intense.
At the same time, Ma Chao and Xiahou Dun's subordinates were also fighting together. Ma Chao had superb spear skills and Xiahou Dun had sharp sword skills. The two fought each other on horseback for six rounds.
Afterwards, Xiahou Dun saw that the Wei army was in chaos, so he left Ma Chao and tried to escape. However, Ma Chao did not give Xiahou Dun any chance, and blocked Xiahou Dun tightly with the shadow of his spear.
"Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Man Chong are all dead. Those who were in trouble in Chang'an City that day still have your share. Today I will make you pay for your blood.
Pay!" Ma Chao shouted loudly as he glared at Xiahou Dun with red eyes.
"Hmph! That depends on your ability! Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!"
He tried his best to kill Ma Chao and avenge his dead relatives and friends.
Ma Chao endured for many years in order to take revenge. Most of the rebels in Chang'an City died that day, leaving only Xiahou Dun and a few others. Youdao was extremely jealous when his enemies met, so he also used all his housekeeping skills.
ability.
Two Japanese generals were fighting fiercely here, and the soldiers of the Wei Army and the Huaxia Army were fighting in a melee over there. The five-mile mountain road was filled with blood for a while, the shouts were loud, the screams were loud, and the corpses were scattered everywhere.
lying there.
"Zheng!"
A buzzing sound sounded in Xiahou Dun's ears. He felt that his hands and jaws were slightly numb from the shock. Looking at Ma Chao, who had just finished the tenth round with him, he couldn't help but think: "This guy is really
A difficult person to deal with..."
Ma Chao cheered up, and after passing by Xiahou Dun, he immediately turned his horse's head and flew up at the same time. The Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear immediately thrust out, but he saw that the dark red spear looked so bright under the sunset.
Eye-catching, his body was still in the air, but his spear kept dancing, shouting loudly: "Rainstorm and meteor!"
Xiahou Dun was startled when he saw Ma Chao actually attacking from the air. His spear was fierce and had heavy shadows. Every time the tip of the spear fell, it was like a falling meteor with a dark red tail. He raised his sword.
Then he went to cover it, and the spear hit the handle of his big knife hard. The huge force caused blood to bleed from the jaws of his hands. There was a labored expression on his face. It was the first time he encountered someone like Ma Chao.
A difficult person to deal with.
Ma Chao's first shot had just been blocked, and the second shot fell. Xiahou Dun had no choice but to continue to parry. Unexpectedly, when the shot fell, it was like a huge boulder, and the horse under him was crushed to the ground.
The four hooves of the war horse could not withstand the force of the tunnel and were crushed on the spot. Xiahou Dun sat directly on the ground with his horse and man.
Ma Chao landed from the air, and as soon as his toes touched the ground, he did a roundhouse kick and kicked Xiahou Dun out. At the same time, his own spear was thrust out at the same time. Before Xiahou Dun fell to the ground, the spear was already pressed into Xiahou Dun's throat.
at.
Xiahou Dun opened his eyes wide. He could no longer shield himself. He watched helplessly as the Dihuo Xuanlu Spear pierced his throat. He didn't even scream and fell into a pool of blood. His body was twitching constantly, and his eyes were looking at Ma Chao.
Full of fear, but secretly thinking in his heart: "Ma Chao is comparable to Lu Bu back then, but it's a pity that the great cause has not been completed. Your Majesty, Yuan Rang has taken a step first..."
Ma Chao killed Xiahou Dun in eleven rounds. He was so happy that he immediately pulled out his sword and cut off Xiahou Dun's head. He raised it high and shouted: "I have killed Xiahou Dun. I don't want to die as soon as possible."
surrender!"
When the officers and soldiers of the Wei army heard that Xiahou Dun had been killed by Ma Chao, they were immediately frightened. They could not retreat or rush out. Many people saw that the Wei army was gone and in order to protect themselves, they expressed their willingness to surrender. Only some people were unwilling to surrender.
, were all shot and killed by the Chinese army.
The entire battle lasted only two-quarters of an hour. Ma Chao took Xiahou Dun's head and took advantage of the situation. With all the cavalry, he began to head towards Jiameng Pass, leaving the infantry to guard the prisoners.
As twilight fell, the night gradually became darker. When Ma Chao led five thousand cavalry to Jiameng Pass, he saw that the pass was quiet. While he was hesitating, suddenly the lights on the pass were brightly lit, and a general boarded the Jiameng Pass.
After seeing Ma Chao, he laughed and said, "Is Meng Qi doing well?"
When Ma Chao saw it, he was overjoyed, because this person was Xu Huang, the right hussar general. There was another person standing next to Xu Huang, the divine military advisor Pang Tong, and beside Pang Tong, there was Huang Quan. He rode his horse
Arriving at the foot of Guancheng, he asked, "I didn't expect General Xu to be so fast?"
Xu Huang said: "Meng Qi, I'm so sorry for taking away your credit."
Ma Chao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my revenge has almost been avenged anyway..."
With that said, Ma Chao raised Xiahou Dun's head and continued: "I have killed Xiahou Dun, and now only the old thief Cao Cao is left. May I ask General Xu, where is the old thief Cao Cao?"
Xu Huang said: "Cao Cao has passed away. The emperor is on his way here. Please ask General Ma to come in and rest."
