Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This coalition army is the main force of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. It is not comparable to ordinary ragtag groups. The two armies can be said to be head-to-head, fighting extremely fiercely.  Ma Chao's army quickly gained the upper hand with its excellent equipment and personal qualities. In particular, the two elite troops of the armored chain horse and the trapped camp caused great casualties to Yuan's army.  It is a pity that the army crossed the river in a hurry and the enemy-killing weapon, the bed, was not yet in place, otherwise it would have given the coalition forces a head-on blow.  Cao Cao fought against Ma Chao's army for the first time. At this moment, he could not help but frown when he saw the one-sided situation on the battlefield. Especially the four generals Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun were like gods descending from heaven. They were invincible along the way, killing the coalition forces and retreating steadily.  .  Seeing Ma Chao personally attacking the Chinese army, he quickly asked Qu Yi to send Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to lead the army to stop Ma Chao.  After receiving the order, the two brothers rushed forward with three thousand sword and axemen. The two brothers joined forces to capture Ma Chao himself.  Ma Chao was ready to kill and was covered in blood. He did not care whether the enemy was a soldier or a general. He struck without mercy and killed nearly a hundred enemies with the help of his weapons and horses.  Seeing the Lu brothers coming towards him with their guns drawn, they shouted: "Well done! Today I will let you traitors know the consequences of following Yuan Shao!" After that, he swung his halberd and struck Lu Kuang's top door.  Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang looked at each other and immediately raised their guns to fight. Lu Xiang took the opportunity to stab Ma Chao's throat with his gun.  The two brothers attack and defend in perfect harmony.  Ma Chao is calm in the face of danger. His halberd technique incorporates the principles of Tai Chi and is very good at switching between virtual and real.  At that moment, with both arms exerted force, the 129-pound halberd turned abruptly in the air and struck at Lu Xiang's shoulder. The sharp ax blade struck with a faint cold light.  Lu Xiang was shocked.  Wanting to close the situation but not having Ma Chao's ability, he could only throw out his spear in a desperate attempt to force Ma Chao to turn back and save himself.  Ma Chao had been prepared for a long time. At the moment, he turned his body to avoid Lu Xiang's dying blow. The next moment, he only heard a scream. The Tianlong city-breaking halberd split Lu Xiang in half from his shoulder without any suspense. The death was horrific.  As soon as Lu Xiang died, the uneasy Lu Kuang immediately became confused. It was not until this moment that he learned that Ma Chao's reputation for bravery was not false. He immediately turned his horse and left.  How could Ma Chao let him go?  Pass the spurge to your left hand.  The right hand took out the meteor hammer.  There was a sudden thunder under his crotch, as if he understood his master's intention, he caught up with Lu Kuang in a few leaps.  The meteor hammer was swung out, and Lu Kuang's neck was broken and he died unexpectedly before he knew what happened.  All this happened in just two breaths. The soldiers who came with Lu Kuang were frightened when they saw Ma Chao being so brave.  And the simple knives in their hands are very useful against cavalry.  Immediately some people dropped their weapons and started running for their lives.  There were only a few people in the beginning.  But as Ma Chao led his troops to charge hard, more and more people fled, numbering in the thousands.  despite this.  A very small number of defeated troops were not enough to affect the entire battle. Ma Chao was moved when he saw this, and immediately shouted: "Put down your weapons, and you will be rewarded for surrendering!" The remaining soldiers also shouted: "Put down your weapons, and you will be rewarded for surrendering!"  !" After hearing this, the elite soldiers nearby immediately echoed, and soon the entire battlefield started shouting loudly, and voices of persuasion to surrender were everywhere.  As a result, the morale of the coalition forces suddenly plummeted, and the generals leading the rebel army were unable to do anything.  The morale of Ma Chao's army became increasingly high. Although they shouted loudly, they showed no mercy in their hands, killing the coalition forces and retreating steadily.  Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that this plan was effective. He quickly whispered a few instructions to the few soldiers and generals around him. After hearing the words, they immediately took off their black iron helmets and dispersed with a small group of soldiers and horses, shouting loudly.  He shouted: "L¨¹ Kuang and Lu Xiang have been beheaded, everyone, run for your lives!" "Wen Chou was defeated and died without a complete body. If he doesn't leave, it will be too late!" "Xiahou Dun was hit by an arrow, and Cao's army is about to be destroyed. Why don't all the brothers run for their lives?"   It was difficult to tell the truth from the false among the rebels. With hundreds of people mixed up like this, the morale of the coalition forces completely collapsed. Immediately, a large number of soldiers began to flee for their lives. The surrounded coalition soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender.  .  Huang Zhong and Cao Xing commanded the cavalry and infantry to cover up the enemy and behead more than 10,000 people, while Zhao Yun's armored cavalry went straight to the center of the coalition army.  Cao Cao and Qu Yi who were watching the battle were shocked when they saw this. The battlefield was changing rapidly. Who would have thought that the army was still fighting hard just now, how could they say they were defeated so quickly.  Zhao Yun's chain-armored horses were unable to withstand them at all. Once they fell into the impact range of the five thousand armored horses, even Lu Bu's bravery would have no choice but to dodge, otherwise they would be trampled to pieces.  The army was defeated like a mountain, and seeing that the defeat was irreversible, the two briefly discussed a few words and then sent an order to withdraw their troops.  Now that there is no hope of victory, it is better to gather the remaining forces and retreat to Jiyin City to make further plans.  The idea is good, but Cao Cao neglected the most important point. Ma Chao started his career as a cavalry, and his main ace is the cavalry. This time there are 40,000 cavalry in the 100,000-strong army. Once the coalition forces are defeated, they will be killed by the cavalry.  No matter how fast you run, can you still run faster than a horse?  In a hurry, even Cao CaoHe was negligent, not to mention other generals and sergeants. After an hour of fierce fighting, some of the two hundred thousand troops died and some fled. After excluding those who surrendered, there were less than one hundred thousand people left.  The chaos was overwhelming and the army was completely defeated.  The remaining soldiers were already frightened, but when they suddenly heard the sound of ringing gold, it was like the sound of nature, they jumped out of the battle group and started running quickly.  Ma Chao was overjoyed and immediately issued an order: "Pursue with all your strength, try to survive! One living person can bear the heads of two dead people!" The lieutenant generals of the army fought fiercely for a long time, and now they finally had the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, regardless of the cavalry or infantry.  All soldiers, as long as they were not seriously injured, joined in the pursuit.  Huang Zhong and Cao Xing, in particular, launched another charge as soon as they saw Yuan Jun Mingjin, trying to cut off the coalition's retreat.  Zhao Yun, who was at the forefront, also divided into several small groups and fought to the left and right, forming a faint encirclement with nearly 100,000 coalition troops in the middle.  Although the situation was extremely unfavorable to the coalition forces, there were still some brave and capable warriors among them. Cao Jun's generals Xiahou Dun and Gao Lan each led a team of troops to charge hard. Coupled with the full cooperation of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, they quickly led more than 20,000 troops to retreat.  Break out of the encirclement.  Yuan Jun was led by Wen Chou, and all the generals led their own troops to charge hard, and after paying a heavy price, they successively broke out of the encirclement.  Ma Chao¡¯s cavalry number was only 40,000. Excluding those who died in battle, the remaining 30,000 people simply could not maintain such a large defensive front.  Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also had trouble taking care of both, so they had to continue to encircle and suppress the remaining defeated troops.  Seeing that the situation was over and there was no hope of escape, the remaining soldiers surrendered and captured tens of thousands of people.  The battle lasted from noon to dusk before the dust settled. After counting the number of people, Ma Chao felt mixed.  After this battle, nearly 40,000 enemies were killed, more than 50,000 people were captured, and countless weapons, armors and other items were collected.  Yuan Cao lost more than half of his 200,000-strong army on the spot, and half of the remaining 100,000 people became deserters and disappeared. When they returned to Jiyin City, only more than 50,000 people were left.  Although the results were brilliant, Ma Chao also suffered heavy losses. It can be said that this was the first tough battle in several years.  Nearly 10,000 of the 40,000 cavalry were killed, and the number of infantry reached 8,000. Coupled with the seriously injured and lightly injured soldiers, the 100,000 army immediately shrunk by 30%.  (To be continued)
