Looking at the slightly panicked Cao Jun in front of him, a cruel smile appeared on Ma Chao's lips. This army was not elite at first glance, so he did not choose to go around and shoot more safely, but attacked head-on. He was confident that he would
The enemy is destroyed with one blow.
"Peng."
The tiger-headed spear swept across, knocking the three shields in front of him and flying away. Then the war horse moved forward. A Cao Cao soldier looked frightened and was completely knocked away by the war horse.
Ma Chao was like a heavily equipped tank, rampaging through Cao Cao's new army, killing all enemies near him.
Ma Chao opened the gap, and the cavalry behind him, like hungry wolves, rushed into the new army in two, four, or sixteen ranks, turning a small gap into a huge one.
Just as Ma Chao expected, the New Army was unable to withstand the onslaught of cavalry. When the cavalry tore apart their formation, the troops immediately collapsed, and the New Army soldiers dropped their weapons and began to flee in all directions.
"Ignore them, go to the south gate, go to the south gate."
Ma Chao knew that when his cavalry entered the city, Cao Cao must have understood that Dantu City could not be defended, so he would definitely abandon the city and escape. So what he had to do now was not to encircle and destroy the city wall, but to be one step ahead of Cao Cao and block his evacuation channel.
"promise."
Upon hearing Ma Chao's order, the cavalry behind him gave up chasing the defeated troops, and instead followed Ma Chao's footsteps and ran towards the south gate.
"Miaocai, listen, he is a cavalryman."
Li Dian, who was waiting at the city gate, heard the sound of galloping cavalry.
"Well, it came very quickly. We deployed troops and horses at the gap. He definitely did not pursue the defeated troops after defeating the new army, nor did he go to the city wall. Yuan Shu, the cavalry general, has something good."
Xia Houyuan nodded. He could give up the achievements that were close at hand and choose to come to the south gate instead. He couldn't do this without a good overall view.
"Well, then we can't wait any longer and prepare to set fire to it."
Yuan Shu's cavalry came over, and time no longer allowed them to wait for the troops to withdraw.
"Order the soldiers to prepare, pile up wood, pour kerosene, and the rest of the troops will follow me to withdraw from Dan Tu."
Xia Houyuan gave an order, and the soldiers began to pile up the wood prepared by Xun Yu. At the same time, black kerosene was sprinkled on the nearby houses and land in patches.
"Um?"
Turning the corner, Ma Chao could already see the south gate tower, but when he saw the mountains of wood piled under the city gate, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
"Stop."
He stretched out his hand to stop the cavalry. He did not dare to act rashly now.
"Ma Yu, you lead ten horses over to take a look."
With a finger, Ma Yu led ten Ma's cavalry troops forward slowly, approaching the south gate.
Seeing the cavalry coming, Xia Houyuan bent his bow and arrow, and fired a rocket towards the city gate.
"boom."
The rocket came into contact with the kerosene on the ground, and a fire dragon appeared instantly, turning the south gate into a sea of flames. At the same time, the kerosene on the ground was also ignited, and Ma Yu and ten cavalrymen were directly swallowed by the flames.
Only the sound of wailing and rolling on the ground could be heard, but not one of the eleven riders ran out.
The blazing flames continued to burn, and the houses sprinkled with kerosene were directly ignited. When the slanting wind blew, the surrounding houses were also engulfed in a sea of flames.
"Cao Mengde, you are so cruel, get off your horse and put out the fire."
Seeing the sea of fire in front of him, Ma Chao had nothing to say. He could only order the cavalry to dismount and start putting out the fire.
The sea of fire in front of him is impossible to cross. Once the fire spreads, it is likely that the entire Dan disciple will be burned to the ground.
"promise."
At this moment, everyone did not hesitate, immediately dismounted and began to act as a fire brigade, extinguishing the fire that spread to the surrounding areas.
Wen Chou and others on the city wall finally broke through the obstruction of Cao Cao's personal guards and fought their way to the bottom of the city wall.
"Xu Huang, you follow me and lead the army to hunt down Cao Cao. Gao Shun and Zang Ba, you two, lead the army to persuade Cao Cao to surrender."
Now that the passage has been opened, there is nothing more to say. As the most senior general, Wen Chou directly acted as the commander-in-chief in front of the formation.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
The three of them had no objections to Wen Chou's arrangement. Everyone knew that as long as Cao Cao could be retained, he would definitely win the first victory. However, there were also huge risks in this. Cao Cao still had four generals under his command. Even if they could catch up with Cao Cao, they might not be able to do so.
Can't hold them down,
Although the credit for persuading Cao Cao's army to surrender on the city wall is much smaller than that of chasing Cao Cao, it is easy and will basically not fail, so Wen Chou's arrangement is actually equal for the three of them.
"Xu Huang, let's go."
Wen Chou and Xu Huang led the elite Hu Lie Army and Hengye Army over the city wall and began to pursue the south gate, while Gao Shun and Zang Ba led the trapped camp and Xuzhou Army back to the city wall to encircle and suppress Cao's army above and persuade them to surrender.
.
"grass."
Wen Chou and Xu Huang led the army and rushed to the south gate without stopping. Looking at the flames in the sky and Ma Chao who was putting out the fire, they couldn't help but utter a national curse.
"Uncle, you came just in time, help me put out the fire together."
Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Wen Chou arriving with his troops, and came directly to his side.
"Quickly, all units will disperse immediately to put out the fire."
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Wen Chou also knew that if he didn't put out the flames now, he would be in trouble once the fire started, so he directly ordered his troops to put out the fire.
"promise."
Although the Tiger Lie Army and Hengye Army were a little depressed, they could only carry out the military order and began to put out the fire together with the cavalry.
"Cao Cao has fled. Those who surrender will live, and those who fight will die."
Gao Shun's roar exploded directly at the top of the city.
"Cao Cao has fled. Those who surrender will live, and those who fight will die."
"Cao Cao has fled. Those who surrender will live, and those who fight will die."
"Cao Cao has fled. Those who surrender will live, and those who fight will die."
One by one, the soldiers shouted slogans to persuade them to surrender, but they continued to attack with the weapons in their hands.
"Fuck, Cao Cao has run away, why should I fight? I surrender."
A Cao Cao soldier threw down his weapon and surrendered to Yuan Shu's army in front of him.
With someone taking the lead, everything became easier. Cao Cao's retreat was a fatal blow to this army. The lord had run away, and it became meaningless for them to persist. Instead of stubbornly resisting and dying here, it would be better to surrender.
, it’s better to save your life.
Surrender was like a storm that directly swept away the Dantu city wall. Cao's soldiers threw away their weapons one by one, knelt on the ground and surrendered to Yuan Shu's army, begging for mercy. However, there was still a group of soldiers who had no intention of surrender even if they were surrounded from all sides. This army
They are Cao Cao's personal bodyguards.
"Surrender, your mission has been completed, Cao Cao has escaped."
Gao Shun came to Cao Cao's guard, who had only a hundred people left, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. Wasn't he like this once upon a time?
A word of loyalty was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"Hahahaha, no need to waste your words, we are the lord's bodyguards, the lord's most loyal warriors, you want us to surrender for the rest of our lives."
A well-built soldier opened his mouth and laughed sarcastically at Gao Shun.
"Hey, if that's the case, I'll help you. Crossbowman is ready."
Seeing the enemy like this, Gao Shun knew that it was impossible for them to surrender. Instead of doing this, it would be better to help them.
After hearing Gao Shun's words, the crossbowmen moved forward one by one, cocked their crossbow arrows, and aimed at the guards of Cao Jun in front of them.
Iron armor can indeed defend against attacks from bows and crossbows, but that is at a distance. Now, the distance between the crossbows and arrows is no more than ten meters, which is enough distance to kill them within the armor.
"You can't sit still and wait for death. Kill one to earn enough money. Kill two to earn one. Lord Tianan."
One of the guards shouted to the sky, then took a long stride and launched a charge.
