Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 79
"It's not good, the Qiang people and the Hu people ran away from the south gate."

In Tongguan, a bad news reached the ears of Ma Chao and other Han generals of the Guanzhong coalition army.

"What? When?" Ma Chao eagerly asked the messenger.

"Just now, many people were still leaving the city. General, please go and stop them." The messenger shouted sadly.

"It's over, let's retreat!" Ma Chao said to everyone.

Now the east and west sides are fighting with Cao Cao's army, and the army leaving the city in the west is about to be defeated again.

Under such circumstances, the Hu people and Qiang people also fled. In this way, is it necessary to continue this battle?Can you beat it?

You must know that among the 10,000+ coalition forces, there are tens of thousands of Qianghu people. Their escape means that they have lost a small half of their combat effectiveness. How can they fight?
So soon, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others began to lead the army to retreat.

They did not dare to retreat from the direction close to the Wei River, so they could only go south to the foot of the Qinling Mountains.

Moreover, in the current situation where the two sides are at war, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others cannot take away many soldiers. Ma Chao fled with two thousand of his own soldiers, and Han Sui only left with [-]. The generals are about the same.

"Ma Chao, Han Sui and the others ran away, this battle is impossible, run away!"

As Ma Chao, Han Sui and others led people to escape, the ordinary soldiers who were resisting Cao Cao in Tongguan suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, all the generals ran away, and as soldiers, none of them had any warriors to resist.

Under such circumstances, the city wall of Tongguan's east gate was soon breached by the army led by Cao Ren.

In Tongguan, countless Guanzhong coalition forces fled in the direction where Ma Chao, Han Sui and others left, and those who could not escape chose to kneel down and surrender.

Soon, Cao Cao's army occupied the entire Tongguan.

"Prime Minister Cao has an order to quickly pursue the fleeing enemy."

Soon, Cao Cao's order was passed to Cao Ren.

Afterwards, Cao Ren immediately organized a cavalry of tens of thousands of people to chase along the Weihe River in the direction where Ma Chao, Han Sui and others fled west.

In fact, what he didn't know was that as early as an hour ago, a cavalry force of more than 2000 people had already begun to chase away.

This cavalry is exactly the two thousand cavalry under Yue Fei.

It turned out that after Yue Fei's army defeated the Guanzhong coalition forces that had left the city, they found Ma Chao, Han Sui and others who had fled.

So he immediately led troops to stop them, but it was a pity that he stopped most of the fleeing people, but Ma Chao, Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of horses to escape.

Faced with such a situation, Yue Fei immediately dispatched two thousand cavalry in pursuit.

In order to reduce the burden on the horses to catch up with the enemies in front, he also asked everyone to remove their heavy armor.

Both sides ran after each other and ran dozens of miles in less than two hours.

"General, the [-] cavalry are always at the back. Should we deal with them first, or it will be dark soon." Someone suggested to Ma Chao and Han Sui.

"Two thousand cavalry dare to be arrogant, everyone, follow me to kill this cavalry." Ma Chao said to everyone.

As the order was issued, tens of thousands of cavalry stopped and began to form formation, and then turned their horses to kill the two thousand cavalry who were chasing behind.

"Finally caught up."

Behind him, leading two thousand cavalry in pursuit was one of Yue Fei's generals, Cao Zhen, Cao Cao's adopted son.

After Yue Fei became the middle army of Cao Cao's cavalry, Cao Cao placed his adopted son Cao Zhen in this army.

After more than a year of training, Cao Zhen has long been familiar with the tactics of the new cavalry.

"Everyone listen to my order and prepare for kite attack mode."

When Ma Chao, Han Sui and others came to kill, Cao Zhen's two thousand cavalry also began to prepare.

Soon, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, Cao Zhen began to lead the army to turn around and flee.

Seeing that Cao Zhen's two thousand cavalry had reached this distance before they began to flee on horseback, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others all showed ferocious smiles.

"They can't run away, let me chase them."

Cao Zhen's army was not fast because it had just started running, and was soon chased by the army of Ma Chao, Han Sui and others.

However, when no one expected it, the cavalry in front let go of the reins with both hands, then took off a pair of bows and arrows from the horse, began to bend the bow and set the arrow, turned around and shot.

Bounce, bounce, bounce!

The sound of a bowstring snapping sounded.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

Next, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air continued.

Puff puff puff puff!

This is the sound of bows and arrows shooting into the body.

Ah~ ah~ oh~ hiss...

This is the screams and neighing from the cavalry and horses behind.

Following a shower of arrows, the cavalry behind suddenly turned their backs on their backs.

"This, how is it possible? How can they all shoot arrows on horseback?"

Ma Chao, Han Sui and others were stunned when they saw this scene.

However, the pursuit has not stopped.

Bounce, bounce, bounce!

The sound of bow and arrow shooting is also continuous.

As the casualties in the front row increased, many chasing Guanzhong soldiers were frightened. Under such circumstances, the speed of the chasing cavalry began to slow down.

"Stop chasing."

Seeing such a situation, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others had to issue an order to stop the pursuit.

However, is it over if the pursuit is stopped?

Seeing that the cavalry behind stopped chasing, Cao Zhen immediately gave the order to stop.

Because of chasing the enemy, the cavalry of the Guanzhong army has been scattered and out of formation.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhen immediately formed a cavalry formation.

Cao Zhen has only more than 2000 cavalry under his command, and with good training, the speed of the whole team is very fast.

After Cao Zhen's [-] cavalrymen had completed their formation, the Guanzhong cavalry was still very chaotic.

"Kill!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all Cao Zhen's cavalrymen drew their sabers, held the reins with one hand, and raised their sabers with the other to kill the Guanzhong coalition forces who were still in chaos.

Seeing that two thousand cavalrymen came to kill like this, Ma Chao and others laughed. They thought that since they couldn't catch up with the opponent, they would leave here directly, but the opponent immediately sent them up, and it seemed that they still had to fight them hand-to-hand.

1 people fought against 2000 people. When the number of people was five times that of the opponent, and it was still a hand-to-hand fight, Ma Chao never thought that he would lose.

The reason for the disastrous defeat in Tongguan was because Cao Cao had such powerful weapons. However, compared to cavalry combat, the army in Guanzhong had never been afraid of anyone.

However, when the two sides began to collide with each other, something happened that made Ma Chao, Han Sui and others horrified.

He found that the two thousand cavalrymen of Cao's army were able to slash on horseback. With the power of the horses' impact, all the cavalrymen in Guanzhong were cut off in one round, while Cao Zhen's cavalrymen were not injured.

"Run!"

Seeing such a situation, all the Guanzhong soldiers were frightened, and the previous defeat in Tongguan City made them lose their fighting spirit.

I don't know who yelled, and the team of tens of thousands of cavalrymen suddenly became chaotic.

In the cavalry warfare of this era, because there is no cavalry three treasures, the cavalry simply cannot make slashing movements on horseback.

This is also the reason why the infantry of farming civilization and the nomadic people who can fight in this era are retreating steadily.

This time Cao Zhen's two thousand cavalry against Ma Chao, Han Sui and others' tens of thousands of cavalry can be regarded as using advanced weapons to deal with a backward civilization.

Cao Zhen led the army to charge all the way, and any enemy standing in front of them could not escape the fatal blow.

Soon, the Guanzhong cavalry collapsed and began to flee in all directions.

"let's go."

Seeing such a situation, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others knew that the general situation was over, and they no longer had the will to fight, so they quickly turned around and hit their horses to flee westward in embarrassment.

Facing the army that only fled but did not resist, Cao Zhen led two thousand cavalry like wolves into a herd of sheep, killing countless people.
