The person who screamed was none other than Cheng Lian, who was dueling with Ding Feng.
Cheng Lian was briefly distracted because of Ma Chao's shouting.
It was precisely because of this moment of distraction that Cheng Lian failed to prevent Ding Feng, who was taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, and stabbed him with a fatal spear.
Looking at the spear thrust straight into his chest, Cheng Lian closed his eyes unwillingly.
Damn Ma Chao, I hate him for having to go out of the city to meet the enemy!
This was Cheng Lian's only thought before his death.
With Cheng Lian's death, the Xiliang Qin army responsible for defending Shangdang suddenly fell into panic.
Some wanted to meet the enemy, some wanted to open the city gate to welcome Ma Chao into the city, and some simply dropped their weapons and hid between civilian houses.
The Qin army in Xiliang is in chaos, but the Chu army will not be in chaos.
Everyone heard Ma Chao's shouting, and the Chu army naturally knew that if Ma Chao successfully entered the city at this time, there would be troubles.
"The whole army listens to the order and attacks the south gate. The main force of the Xiliang army cannot be allowed to return to the city under any circumstances!"
Although the number of the Chu army was ten times that of the Xiliang army, after all, the Chu army was on the siege side.
Today, the number of Chu troops who have successfully scaled the Shangdang City is not much greater than that of the Xiliang Army.
This also caused the siege to enter an anxious stage.
But Ding Feng knew that as long as he was given some time, no more, even ten minutes, more Chu troops would board the city.
After the Chu army gradually successfully entered the city, the Xiliang army could completely declare that Shangdang had been lost.
Now, the only important thing is to block the south gate and prevent Ma Chao's main force from entering the city.
After waiting for a long time, Ma Chao outside the city finally realized something was wrong.
Damn it, I shouted out in such a loud voice, it’s impossible for no one to pay attention to it, right?
unless!?
Although Ma Chao did not see any fighting within his field of vision, if he listened carefully, he could still vaguely hear bursts of killing cries coming from the city.
Damn it, fell into a trap!
At this point, Ma Chao finally understood.
I'm afraid I fell into Zhao Yun's scheme.
Nowadays, the Xiliang army has lost the field battle, and the Shangdang party has no guarantee.
In desperation, Ma Chao could only give up the party.
"The whole army retreats!"
Although Ma Chao is arrogant, he is not a fool after all.
If the party still refuses to leave, the pursuers from behind may catch up before the city gate is opened.
If the Chu army makes dumplings in front of the Shangdang City Gate, then you will become a joke.
For the young Ma Chao, failure is not terrible. It would be a real shame if he lost his life here.
To escape, the worst he could do was face a lot of scolding from Lu Bu. As long as he unified his message and said that the Chu army was powerful, Lu Bu couldn't make things too difficult for him.
You must know that the Xiliang Majia is also an independent force.
It was only because Lu Bu was so powerful that he had no choice but to swear allegiance to him.
What if you really mean loyalty? Sorry, that is definitely not as important as your own wealth and life.
With Ma Chao's defeat, Shangdang County completely announced its change of ownership.
"Well done, Ding Feng, you did a good job.
Once this matter is over, I will ask the Overlord for credit for you!"
Zhao Yun was greatly relieved after successfully capturing Shangdang.
Previously, what Zhao Yun was most worried about was that he would suffer too much loss if he attacked Shangdang.
You must know that the Chu army at this time was really fighting alone and could not get any help at all.
That would really mean that if you die, you will lose one.
Fortunately, because of Ma Chao's cooperation and Ding Feng's wit, the Chu army successfully captured Shangdang County at a very small price.
"General, what's next for us? Are we going to pursue that Ma Chao?"
Ding Fengke was the first to take down Shangdang.
In excitement, Ding Fengna wanted to directly march his army eastward and completely destroy the Xiliang Qin army in Bingzhou.
"No, Caiyun has just asked the prisoners of war.
This time, the Xiliang Qin State came to Bingzhou, but it was the main Xiliang army led by their Qin King Lu Bu.
If we go out of the city to fight with the main force in the field, I am afraid we will only increase casualties.
Now, we don't have to go anywhere, we just need to defend Shangdang County and cut off Lu Bu's retreat!"
Although he had seen a banner with the word "LV" embroidered on the banner before, Zhao Yun still had expectations in his heart.
If Lu Bu didn't come personally, then the 80,000 troops under his command would still have a fight with the Xiliang army.
But now, Zhao Yun has received confirmation that Lu Bu personally led his troops to Bingzhou, and the strength of the troops actually reached 200,000.
This made Zhao Yun know that he probably did not have any strength to compete with Lu Bu for the ownership of Bingzhou.
Just kidding, if you go out to play field games with him, wouldn't you be delivering food?
Now, Zhao Yun's only choice is to be a nail and nail him to Shangdang Juncheng, cutting off Lu Bu's retreat.
You know, Lu Bu is also on a cross-border expedition.
Its 200,000-strong army also had no supply back-up.
Taking Shangdang by himself means cutting off Lu Bu's supplies. How long can the Xiliang army last without supplies?
Even if you have sufficient supplies, Zhao Yun will not panic.
This Shangdang is the governing seat of the entire Bingzhou.
Even if you occupy all the other states and counties in Bingzhou, but fail to capture Shangdang, it is useless.
Bingzhou is no different than any other state or county.
When it comes to poverty, there are all kinds of states in the world, but no state can be as poor as Bingzhou.
Its only prosperous place is Shangdang.
Zhao Yun believed that when Lu Bu learned that his party had fallen, he would definitely lead his army to counterattack.
However, the current defenders are our Chu army!
Shu said.
Bingzhou, Changzhi.
"What!? Shangdang was lost? Cheng Lian was killed in battle?"
After Ma Chao's defeated army ran all the way down, they finally caught up with Lu Bu's army on the road to Huguan the next day.
Looking at the embarrassed look on his face, Lu Bu couldn't believe it at all.
Nima, I, the lonely king, led my army and left Shangdang for just one day. Why on earth did you destroy the city for me? Can you still be a waste?
But looking at the scabbed blood holes on Ma Chao's body, Lu Bu also knew that Ma Chao probably tried his best.
The scars on his body are clearly visible, indicating that he must have experienced a hard battle.
But, why did the Chu army suddenly appear in Bingzhou?
You know, according to the intelligence obtained by Lu Bu, are the Chu troops still fighting Yuan Tan in Qingzhou?
How could it suddenly appear in Bingzhou? Could it be impossible to fly?
Moreover, Lu Bu was aware of Ma Chao's martial arts.
If he doesn't use all his strength, then it won't be a big problem for Ma Chao to go for dozens of rounds under his own control.
But now, Ma Chao has been defeated, and he was defeated in such an embarrassing manner.
Could it be that that relative is here?
In Lu Bu's opinion, among the generals of the Chu State, Xiang Ji was the only one who could easily defeat Ma Chao, right?
