Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 328 Ma Wan looks contemptuous

Chapter 329 Ma Wan looks contemptuous

Through the previous battle, Cao Chong had already discovered that among the 3000 horsemen in Mawan, except for one or two hundred Xiliang cavalry who were considered elite, the rest were basically mobs.

Although the number is not dominant, but to defeat the 3000 men, with Zhao Yun and the [-] Shence Army, Cao Chong felt that it would not be too difficult, so he directly asked Zhao Yun to fight quickly.

Without any superfluous actions such as probing or luring the enemy, Zhao Yun immediately led [-] cavalry straight to the enemy's formation after receiving the order. Cao Chong and Xiahouba also commanded the Shence army to attack in an all-round way.

Ma Wan stared dumbfounded at the sight of Cao Jun rushing up like a swarm of swarms. Should we be so reckless that the two armies charge as soon as they meet?
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. In this place, there is a big mountain on the left and a big river on the right. If you don't attack directly when you meet each other, don't you wait until you report that the fortifications are repaired?You think the young master is stupid!Cao Chong looked at the dumbfounded Ma Wan with a face of contempt.

The simpler the tactics, the more it can reflect the basic quality of the army. This is exactly Cao Chong's advantage. Ma Wan's third-rate army and the Shence Army are not opponents on the same level at all.

No one on the battlefield is Zhao Yun's all-in-one enemy. Zhao Yun rushing into the enemy group is like chopping melons and vegetables!Starting from a point in front of Zhao Yun, Ma Wan's army began to be completely defeated in an instant. When Ma Wan saw Zhao Yun coming towards him, he turned around and ran away with the Xiliang cavalry!

He was not an opponent in the first place, and the coach Ma Wan fled again, and the battlefield immediately showed a one-sided posture.

"Those who surrender will not die!" Shence Army shouted loudly.

With mountains and rivers on both sides, the defeated Ma Wan army scattered and had nowhere to run. Hearing the shout of the Shence Army, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It's a pity, Ma Wan ran away!" Zhao Yun wiped the blood on the armor and came to Cao Chong's side.

"Zilong really has the courage that no man should deserve!" Cao Chong praised, and then said: "There is no pity for a small horse to play, and there will be opportunities in the future."

"Xiahouba, quickly clean up the battlefield, let's move on!"

"Little son, after a lot of fighting, the soldiers are exhausted and it is difficult to move forward. If there is another enemy army coming, we will be hard to resist!" Zhao Yun quickly persuaded.

Cao Chong looked around and said to Zhao Yun: "This is not a good place to camp. When we were studying the map yesterday, I remembered that there was a highland not far ahead. It should be no problem to reach there today."

"Well, I'll take the cavalry to explore the way first."

"There is Lao Zilong!"

Zhao Yun led people to look for a place to set up camp. Xia Houba came running over, embarrassed.

"Young master, we have captured thousands of people in this battle, how should we deal with it?"

"Such a harvest, you should be happy, why are you frowning?" Cao Chong laughed.

In this battle, half of Ma Wan's 3000 people were lost, and thousands of them were captured. The Shence Army's casualties were less than a hundred, which can be said to be a big victory!

"Little son, I didn't know that there are less than 2000 people now, thousands of captives are a burden to us..."

"Forget that Lu Xun and the others are coming soon, how many people can't be transported away?"

Xia Houba slapped his head: "That's right, I'll just let them wait here for the ships to arrive one after another. Lu Xun is slow enough!"

"Going up against the current, and the Sanmenxia section is extremely dangerous, it would be great if we could catch up with us today."

To Cao Chong's surprise, Lu Xun didn't wait, but Cao Tai chased after him with a dozen people.

"Young master! Don't be angry. Luoyang is fine. I have good news for you!" Cao Tai explained after seeing Cao Chong's unkind expression.

"What news can't be sent personally? How can you leave Luoyang easily now?"

"Don't worry, young master, no one dares to attack Luoyang now! The prime minister has appointed young master as a side general to lead Yique and Chenggao pass defenders to support Tongguan." Cao Tai happily reported to Cao Chong.

Lao Cao is very supportive of himself!Cao Chongxin said, but this is not the reason for you to leave Luoyang, right?

"What does this have to do with you leaving Luoyang? It's okay for Man Pang to rectify the internal security of Luoyang, but the external situation in Luoyang has to be watched by the school office, so go back quickly!"

"Young master, General Cao Hong will be arriving in Luoyang soon. Who would dare to change his mind at this time? Luoyang is safe now, and besides, my coming here will not delay the school affairs office to continue watching the changes around Luoyang."

"Cao Hong? Why is he going to Luoyang?" Cao Chong was taken aback!
"Be a pioneer for the prime minister! The prime minister has decided to conquer Guanzhong himself."

Lao Cao is coming to Tongguan now?It was several months earlier than the original historical script!However, in the original history, Ma Chao did not ambush and kill Zhong Yao, so Cao Chong understood after thinking about it.

"Cao Hong is estimated to have arrived in Luoyang now, and the prime minister will also go to Luoyang in the near future. How dare that mindless person make trouble at this time?"

Cao Chong looked at the elated Cao Tai, and thought that it was just what you thought, there were many people who opposed Lao Cao, and it was not once or twice in Xudu, let alone Luoyang?
Cao Chong still let Cao Tai stay. Under the current situation, no one dared to make small moves against Luoyang. If there was a big move, it would be useless for Cao Tai to go back.

"Did you see Lu Xun's fleet when you came here?" Xia Houba asked.

"I see, it's only ten or twenty miles away from here, and we'll be there soon."

"You just said that the Yique and Chenggao defenders have set off. How many are there? Where are they now?" Cao Chong heard that he had reinforcements, and he was full of anticipation.

"Three thousand, I guess it's Mianchi by now."

Just 3000 people?I just walked to Mianchi, what a fart!

"Young master, since the capital was moved to Xudu, there are not many troops stationed around Luoyang." Seeing Cao Chong's disappointed expression, Cao Tai explained.

"Hey! It's not about the number of people. There are some troubles here in Tongguan, and they are too late."

"Forget it, let's see what happens at Xiahouyuan's place. Cao Tai and I will go first, and we have to go about ten miles to set up camp. Xiahouba, wait here for Lu Xun, tell him the specific situation, and ask him to send a few ships. The small boat can continue to move forward, and the fleet cannot be discovered by the enemy for the time being."

Seeing that the reinforcements from the rear could not catch up, Cao Chong had no choice but to hope that Xia Houyuan could react faster. At the same time, he had to keep Lu Xun's fleet hidden in the rear.

Cao Chong continued to advance for about ten miles, and set up camp on a gentle slope, which was less than thirty miles away from Tongguan.

Zhao Yun went to inquire about the enemy's situation, and did not return until dark, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Young master, the enemy is already waiting for us less than ten miles in front of us. There are more than [-] people, and this time the enemy has already prepared for it, so it is difficult for us to pass." Zhao Yun reported to Cao Chong.

"It's good to be able to hold these people back. At least it can reduce the pressure on Tongguan. As for how to defeat the enemy, let's be more cautious." Cao Chong said with a smile.
