"Damn it! The whole army obeys the order and doesn't pay attention to those Huns.
Gather immediately and prepare to break out!"
Just when Gao Lan defeated Zhang Liao's troops, Ma Chao had already made the decision to retreat.
Nowadays, the Huns are the first army to be disabled when being outflanked.
However, Ma Chao knew that if he did not make a decision as soon as possible, the end would definitely not be any better than that of the Huns.
As for Zhang Liao who has already gone to meet the rear?
A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
It was Zhang Liao's initiative to attack the Chu army in the rear. What does it have to do with me, Master Ma?
Now, Ma Chao just wanted to evacuate quickly while the Chu army was still dealing with the Huns.
You know, the Chu army led by Xiahou Dun was close to one hundred thousand.
How many soldiers and armor does Ma Chao have now?
After the previous research and the midnight melee, Zhang Liao took away another 20,000 yuan.
Now Ma Chao only has more than 30,000 capable soldiers at his side.
If faced with Xiahou Dun's army, Ma Chao would have no confidence in winning.
Rather than being defeated and captured, or even feeling resentful on the spot, Ma Chao would rather choose to flee.
So what if there is no food, grass or baggage?
It doesn't matter even if only a thousand of this army returns to Handi in the end, it's enough as long as Mr. Ma and I are still alive.
However, things went counterproductive.
Just when Ma Chao was about to lead his troops to evacuate, a person he least wanted to see appeared in front of him.
"Where did the horse run away!? Cao Ren is here!"
Yes, it is Cao Ren.
At this moment, Xiahou Dun was leading his troops to wipe out the Huns, so naturally Cao Ren was responsible for launching an attack on the Han army.
You know, that night when Xiahou Dun and General Cao Ren led their troops forward, they happened to encounter the retreating Huns.
This, what else is there to say?
The Huns who retreated hastily were outmatched in morale and strength by the Chu army, and they were defeated as soon as they fought.
In panic, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu went to Bei and was beheaded by Xiahou Dun in the formation.
This caused the Huns to fall into chaos.
Being chased by the Chu army all the way, the Huns had no choice but to attack the Han army camp for protection.
As a result, the Chu and Han armies could only be annihilated here.
After the Huns were destroyed, the remaining Han army generals Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren would naturally not let them go.
Although there was a small amount of cooperation before, this did not affect Cao Ren's determination to block Ma Chao's retreat.
To put it bluntly, all of this is because of the Han army and the Han Emperor Liu Bei.
The accomplice has been eliminated. How can the culprit let you escape so easily?
"Cao Ren! You are no match for me, get out of the way quickly!"
Ma Chao was supernaturally unafraid of Cao Ren, but what Ma Chao was worried about was being delayed by this guy.
If you wait for the Chu army to arrive, even if you have three heads and six arms, you may not be able to escape and ascend to heaven.
"Get out of the way? Huh! Arrogant horse, today is the day you die!"
After saying that, Cao Ren swung his sword horizontally and rushed towards Ma Chao.
Yes, I am indeed no match for you in a duel, but damn, I have so many brothers!
As long as you delay for a moment and a half, when the Chu army frees up its hands and feet, won't it be easy to capture and kill Ma Chao?
"You are looking for death!"
Seeing Cao Ren coming to kill him, Ma Chao was furious.
Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish, Master Ma!
When Cao Ren slashed at him with a broadsword from the opposite side, Ma Chao turned slightly to avoid it. Then, like a dragon out of the sea, Ma Chao stabbed Cao Ren in front of his face with the spear in his hand.
Damn! So strong!
In just this round, Cao Ren knew that the gap between himself and Ma Chao was absolutely huge.
Cao Ren barely dodged the blow and felt the pain of being scratched on his cheek. Cao Ren no longer looked down upon Ma Chao in his heart.
This guy, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to delay him!
"Xiahou! Come and help me quickly!"
Knowing that he was defeated, Cao Ren didn't care about his reputation. He flipped the sword in his hand and defended Ma Chao's attack. At the same time, he kept talking and yelled at the people behind him.
In the chaos, even if Xiahou Dun couldn't hear his cry for help, the soldiers of the Chu army could always hear it, right?
As long as the news is passed to Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren's goal will be achieved.
Although your horse is brave, I won’t have any problem resisting you for even a moment!
Cao Ren was relieved, but Ma Chao was worried.
When he heard Cao Ren's cry for help, he was frightened.
Damn it, if Xiahou Dun is coming, he can barely hold on even if he is one against two, but the Han army under his command cannot hold on!
If the Han army is defeated by the Chu army, how can I be better off?
However, the more anxious Ma Chao became, the more messy Ma Chao's marksmanship became.
This actually greatly reduced Cao Ren's defensive pressure.
"Hahaha! Ma, is this all you can do? You'd better listen to me and surrender quickly!"
Seeing Ma Chao panicking, Cao Ren became even more excited, shouting and disturbing Ma Chao mentally.
"Stop being so arrogant, Cao Ren, watch the gun!"
Distraught by Cao Ren's quarrel, Ma Chao was so angry that he ignored the harassment from the soldiers around him and swung his spear horizontally at Cao Ren.
Damn it!!!
Seeing Ma Chao fighting for his life, Cao Ren immediately felt regretful.
Damn it, isn't it just a matter of delaying him? Why do you have to stimulate this guy?
However, the long knife in his hand has not been withdrawn, so it is impossible to block or dodge. Facing this lightning-fast blow, I am afraid there is not much chance.
In desperation, Cao Ren could only choose to close his eyes and wait, waiting for his fate of being shot off the Pegasus.
At this moment, the only thing Cao Ren was happy about was that Ma Chao used Sweep.
At least I won't be stabbed to the core by him.
...
.......
What's going on?
After waiting for a long time, Cao Ren didn't wait for the spear to fly him off the horse.
Out of curiosity, Cao Ren opened his eyes and was shocked.
This Ma Chao is actually dead?
Yes, Ma Chao is dead.
Because he was angered by Cao Ren, Ma Chao had completely ignored the interference from the enemies around him.
Originally, when Ma Chao thought about it, there were only a few soldiers of the Chu army who interfered with him, and they could not cause any harm to him at all.
But no matter what, it happened to be unlucky for the horse to overtake.
At this moment, Gao Lan had already arrived with his army.
You know, it's already getting bright at this time.
Far away, Gao Lan saw Ma Chao brutally beating Cao Ren.
What else is there to say? Immediately, his legs clamped on the war horse, and Cao Ren rushed towards Ma Chao.
Originally, Gao Lan thought that his attack was just to help Cao Ren break the siege, and then the two generals would work together to fight against Ma Chao.
Who would have thought that Ma Chao, who was so focused, completely ignored the threat behind him.
When he felt it coming over, it was too late to take any action.
Looking at the spear that penetrated him, Ma Chao closed his eyes unwillingly.
At this point, with Zhang Liao's surrender and Ma Chao's death, only Guan Yu was left among Liu Bei's five tiger generals.
