Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

At this moment, Cao Hong was having a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart. He hesitated between abandoning the city and sticking to it, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"General Cao, retreat, you can't hold it anymore." At this time, Cao Jun rushed over covered in blood.

"General Cao, retreat, the top of the city has been lost, we can't hold it anymore."

"General Cao, if the fight continues, all the more than [-] elite soldiers will join in."

"We can't fight anymore, retreat quickly, General Cao, don't hesitate."

A group of Cao Jun generals surrounded Cao Hong and persuaded him one after another.

The Xiliang army under the city was five or six times larger than the Cao army inside the city. If the food and grass in the city had not been burned, even if the city wall fell, they could still look for opportunities to take it back.As long as the city wall does not fall completely, Wuwei County can still be defended.

Only now, the food and grass in the city were burned to clean, and the city was mixed with enemy troops.In this situation, even if the city wall is barely defended, everyone will have to fight hungry tomorrow morning.

If the soldiers were really made to fight hungry, they might start fighting among themselves before the Xiliang army could attack.In ancient wars, the three armies did not move, and the food and grass went first.Forage is a factor that can determine the outcome of a battle.

Now that the grain and grass have been burned, it means that they will lose this battle.Since sooner or later it will be a situation of defeat, even if we lose the city, we can still preserve our troops.If it is left in the ink, I am afraid that not only the city will be lost, but the entire army will also be wiped out.

Cao Hong is not a person who does not listen to advice. Under the persuasion of everyone, Cao Hong simply went down the slope.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops."

"Before our brothers are not messing with the enemy army, hurry up and lead them out." Cao Hong instructed his subordinate generals.

After a while, I saw Cao Hong leading the main force down the city wall and heading towards the city.

At this time, the front was already blocked by Ma Teng's men, and if he wanted to leave the city, he had to change the city wall to kill the general.Cao Hong hurried on, trying to evacuate from the other city wall with his soldiers.

Chapter 223 Ma Teng wins Wuwei

Cao Hong led his soldiers down the city wall, and rushed towards the direction where there were few people. He wanted to rush out of the city wall as soon as possible to avoid being entangled by the Xiliang army.

At this time, the entire city was in chaos.Although the city gate has not been breached, the Xiliang army has occupied a large area of ​​the city wall.Except for a small number of soldiers who stayed in the rear of the palace, behind Cao Hong Wu Yang and Wu Yang followed in groups of Cao Jun soldiers, all of whom were in a hurry to evacuate.

On the one hand, Cao Hong led his brothers to retreat in the opposite direction, and on the other hand, he also let the generals under his command restrain the soldiers, so as to prevent the army from retreating into a rout.Now that he has decided to evacuate, at this moment Cao Hong only thinks about being able to get away safely with his brothers.

However, things backfire, and often he comes to whatever you are most afraid of.As we said earlier, after Ma Chao burned the food and grass, he led his soldiers to kill in the direction of the city gate.Ma Chao charged in the direction of the city gate, while Cao Hong charged in the opposite direction of the city gate.At this moment, the two just collided head-on.

At this time, the two sides met together, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.In this case, it is naturally impossible for the two of them to say hello and ask if you have eaten?What are you having for dinner tonight?Then go their separate ways.

At this time, the two collided head-on, which highlighted the fact that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the jealousy of an enemy when they meet.

When Cao Hong saw Ma Chao, he immediately realized that this was the enemy army that somehow sneaked into the city wall.There is no doubt that their food was burned by this group of people.If this group of people hadn't burned their food, Wuwei County would have nothing to lose.

Cao Jun has put in a lot of effort in Wuwei County these years, but someone made Cao Hong lose it within a day and night. For Cao Hong, it was really fucking embarrassing.And all of this was caused by Ma Chao.

Seeing Ma Chao, Cao Hong immediately became unhappy, and shouted: "Brothers, take this man down for me first."

Cao Hong pointed, and most of his troops surrounded Ma Chao's men directly.Ma Chao was also complaining in his heart at this time, he was not afraid of Cao Hong's truth, but his brothers were not as many as Cao Hong's.

The number of people Cao Hong led was more than double that of his own. With this kung fu, Ma Chao was no match for two fists and four hands.

The soldiers under Ma Chao's command were aggrieved, and Ma Chao was also aggrieved at this moment. Cao Hong led more than ten generals of the Cao army, and launched a siege against Ma Chao.

Most of Ma Chao's martial arts are on horseback. Although it is not bad for foot combat, it is far inferior to horse combat.But now, under the siege of Cao Jun's more than ten partial generals and Cao Hong, this made Ma Chao somewhat stretched.

"How can you bully the few with the more?" Ma Chao cursed angrily while fighting back.

"Fuck you, if there are 6 to 1 people outside the city, and [-] people beat me, does that count as bullying the few?" Cao Hong replied without hesitation.

"Boy, you are good at martial arts. I can save your whole body today." Cao Hong shouted to Ma Chao.

"Your grandfather is Ma Chao, tell me your name." Ma Chao replied.

"I'm Cao Hong." Cao Hong shouted.

"Cao Hong, good for you, Cao Hong. Today you bring a dozen people to beat me. Next time you meet, I have to bring 20 people back. You wait for me, we will regret it later." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he rushed The brothers under his command shouted loudly: "Don't get entangled with them, let's go out and meet King Liang at the city gate."

The Xiliang army's goal was to occupy Wuwei City, and Ma Chao was too lazy to entangle with Cao Hong. If he continued to entangle with Cao Hong at this time, if his own troops were exhausted, he might not be able to win the city gate later.

"If you want to leave, it's not that easy." Cao Hong said, and stopped Ma Chao with his gun.

Ma Chao said heartily, I don't want to entangle you, but you're still slapping your face, right? You really want to die?

Thinking of this, Ma Chao raised the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, and slammed Huashan with a blow towards Cao Hong.Hearing a loud sound of "dang", Cao Hong was knocked flying a distance of seven or eight meters, and fell heavily to the ground.

The tiger-headed golden spear in Ma Chao's hand weighed seventy or eighty catties, and it was hard to be underestimated when Ma Chao struck it down with such force.

"Cough, cough, cough."

The smoke cleared, and Cao Hong was lying on the ground coughing violently. The spear in his hand had been bent, and there was blood on the tiger's mouth. It could be seen that Cao Hong's arm should have been broken.

"General Cao, General Cao."

"Hurry up, save people." Cao Jun's generals hurriedly blocked Cao Hong, and several other soldiers helped Cao Hong up.

Ma Chao saw that it would not be easy for him to take Cao Hong's life today.Although these partial generals are not as good as Cao Hong in martial arts, but with more than a dozen of them together, it is really difficult to deal with them without horses.

The urgent need at noon now is to find a way to open the city gate and bring in the army from outside the city. This is his task.You must not show off your courage for a while and ignore the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao didn't bother to tangle with Cao Hong anymore, he called his soldiers and headed towards the city gate to kill.

At this time, Cao Hong was defeated and seriously injured.Although Cao Jun has a large number of soldiers, he has no intention of intercepting them.Ever since, he let Ma Chao lead the army to kill them.

"Cough cough!"

"This kid is too strong, so brave. Let's retreat quickly. If we let him lead the army into the city, I'm afraid it will not be so easy for us to leave." After Cao Hong said, he was supported by several soldiers and continued to move towards the city. The city gate in the other direction retreated.

In the dark night, there were shouts of killing everywhere in the city, and the fire at the granary had begun to spread to the surrounding area.Not long after, Cao Hong led his people to retreat to another city gate. Fortunately, this city gate was still under the control of Cao Jun.

The gatekeepers brought horses for Cao Hong and other generals, and then they abandoned the city with Cao Hong and fled to the rest of the city.

At the same time, on the other side, Ma Chao also captured the city gate and led the Xiliang army into the city.As soon as the Xiliang army entered the city, it meant that Wuwei County had now changed ownership.Now Wuwei County is not surnamed Cao, but surnamed Ma.

On the top of the city, the originally flying Cao character flag has also become the current horse character flag.

"Father, when I came to seize the gate just now, the main force of Cao's army retreated. In order not to delay the capture of the city, I ignored them just now. Father, I want to lead three thousand cavalry to chase them." Ma Chao Please fight with your hands.

Ma Teng did not agree, but asked the military adviser Cheng Gongying beside him, "What do you think the military adviser thinks?"

Cheng Gongying pondered for a moment, pinched her mustache and said: "His Royal Highness Liang, don't chase after the poor, let's look there, the urgent need at noon is to put out the fire."

Chapter 224 Ma Teng's Power

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Gongying, good guy, there are raging fires everywhere.

Ma Chao and the others fought all the way out of the granary, killing all the way outside, and setting fire all the way.The grain and grass in the granary are all flammable items. Now not only the granary is on fire, but even the houses and buildings around the granary are on fire.

Most of the ancient houses are made of wood, even the beams, doors and windows of the brick and tile houses are also made of wood, so when the fire starts, it will be burned in piles.

If we don't hurry up to put out the fire and let the fire continue like this, I'm afraid that by dawn, the fire will spread to half of Wuwei County.

What Ma Teng wanted was not an abandoned city, but an intact Wuwei County.This Wuwei County fell into Ma Teng's hands, and he still used Wuwei as a foundation, as a place to store food and shield soldiers, so Ma Teng had to contain the fire now, and he couldn't just watch the fire spread.

"Order all the soldiers to put out the fire first." Ma Teng ordered to convey.

Ma Teng's order was quickly conveyed, but now that the soldiers are looting, no one is willing to participate in the fire fighting.

Looking at the messy scene, Ma Teng couldn't help being a little embarrassed. After breaking the city, there would be no military discipline for three days, which was what he had promised in advance.Therefore, as soon as these soldiers entered the city, they had a good time. After his military order was issued, no one cared at all, and everyone was plundering crazily.

Originally, Ma Teng's military order was issued, and the Han soldiers in the army were prepared to obey the order to fight the fire.However, seeing that the barbarian soldiers around had no intention of fighting the fire at all, they simply gave up fighting the fire.

You know, the current scene in Wuwei County is like giving a discount to the supermarket to snap up.If you take a step slower, you won't be able to grab anything.If they put out the fire, I'm afraid that after the fire is extinguished, all the good things will be snatched up by such barbarians.

"If you don't obey the military order, kill them all." Ma Chao glanced at the crazy barbarian soldiers and said coldly.

Hearing this, he looked at Ma Chao, who was full of fierce eyes.Military advisor Cheng Gongying hurriedly dissuaded him: "No, absolutely not."

"After breaking the city, there will be no military discipline for three days. This is what the Prince of Liang himself said. If the law is now enforced by military orders, it will be a breach of trust and the entire army."

"Military division, it's just that if the fire is not saved now, won't it burn down half the city?" Ma Teng asked with some confusion.

Naturally, the fire had to be saved, but the soldiers could not be forced to fight the fire, they had to be willing to fight the fire.

Cheng Gongying pondered, thinking of a way.Those who can be military advisers naturally have very good brains. After a while, Cheng Gongying thought of a good way.

As soon as Cheng Gongying rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of a good way. He fetched some horseshoe gold, and then threw the horseshoe gold at the edge of the fire.The golden horseshoe gold is also particularly eye-catching in the fire.

Not long after, some soldiers discovered the horseshoe gold thrown by Cheng Gongying, and they carefully took the horseshoe gold out of the fire.I looked deeper and found that there seemed to be horseshoe gold in the fire there.

As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, in this chaotic world, there is nothing more valuable than gold.

"There is gold in the fire, put out the fire, put out the fire."

"Quick, don't let the fire start. There must be gold in the fire."

Now that the city is in chaos, it is the time when there are too many people.Someone pulled out the gold from the fire, which naturally cannot be hidden from anyone's eyes.At this time, there was no need for anyone to order the fire fighting, and everyone spontaneously threw themselves into the fire fighting.

For the sake of the horseshoe gold, these soldiers didn't need anyone's supervision at all, and all of them started fighting the fire in full swing.

"Military Master, your strategy is really clever." Ma Teng looked at the scene in front of him and said with some joy.

"Without him, it's just people's hearts." Cheng Gongying said with a smile.

The next day, dawn.

The fire in Wuwei County has been extinguished. Fortunately, the fire was rescued in time, and the fire did not spread further.The soldiers of the Xiliang Army saved the fire all night, but now it was light, they didn't feel tired at all, and they were still looting everywhere.

Ma Teng wants to change Wuwei County into a military city, a fortress for storing food and troops, and use Wuwei County as a springboard to advance to the Central Plains.Because of this, Ma Teng, a commoner in Wuwei County, doesn't care, and he doesn't need to manage people's hearts in Wuwei County.

When Ma Teng said that he had broken the city, regardless of military discipline for three days, he had completely given up on the people of Wuwei County.A group of undisciplined soldiers raging in Wuwei County for three days is like a tiger raging in a sheepfold for three days.

Three days later, the entire Wuwei County was in a mess as far as the eye could see.The corpses of the people are everywhere, and there are disaster victims everywhere in and outside the city. The soldiers disaster is more terrible than any disaster.

After harming the people for three days, Ma Teng drove out all the few remaining people in Wuwei County, completely turning Wuwei County into a military city.

At the same time, Cao Hong's defeated army also retreated to Heishiguan, another important military site of Wei State in the north.

Black Stone Pass is a pass, all of which are made of black stones, so it is called Black Stone Pass.Originally there were more than [-] troops stationed at Heishi Pass, but now Cao Hong brought thousands of soldiers and horses, so that the entire Heishi Pass had more than [-] soldiers and horses.

Heishi Pass is a dangerous pass, and with the addition of [-] soldiers and horses, this can be regarded as another stumbling block for Ma Teng to enter the Central Plains.

Cao Hong deployed defenses at Heishi Pass, and at the same time sent people to pass the news of Wuwei County's loss to Xudu.Of course, Cao Hong not only wants to pass on the news, but also wants to ask Cao Cao for help.

These years, Cao Cao sent troops to beat others, but now Ma Teng stole Wuwei. For Cao Cao, his uncle could bear it, but his aunt could not bear it.According to Cao Cao's temper, his mother who had to beat Ma Teng no matter what, would not recognize him.

Here, Cao Hong sent someone to seek help from Xu Du.At the same time, the news that Ma Teng had captured Wuwei County also spread to Jincheng.

Whose territory is Jincheng? This Jincheng is the territory of Xiliang warlord Han Sui.Han Sui did not have as many troops as Ma Teng, nor did he have as large a territory as Ma Teng, so there was no such thing as a king.

"What? Ma Teng really defeated Wuwei?"

"Good guy, this Ma Teng's way is really wild, this time he is really going to take off." After Han Sui heard the news that Ma Teng had won Wuwei, he spit out his wine directly.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Han Sui felt mixed feelings.Ma Teng has won Wuwei, which means that since their Xiliang army defeated Dong Xiangguo, they have the tendency to enter the Central Plains again.However, it was Ma Teng who brought down Wuwei, and it seemed that Han Sui could only be inferior to Ma Teng.

Chapter 225 The Three Factions of Xiliang Combined Forces

Just as Han Sui was tangled in his thoughts, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"Report" A soldier hurried in and knelt on one knee to report: "General Han, General Beigong is here to visit."

"Quick, invite him in." Han Sui said hastily.

The General Beigong who came to visit was naturally another warlord of Xiliang, Beigong Boyu.At this time, after the complete annihilation of Dong Zhuo's faction, there were only three major factions left in the entire Xiliang warlord.

The biggest faction among them is Liang Wang Ma Teng, followed by Han Sui and Beigong Boyu.Although the power of these two people is not as great as that of Ma Teng, but together, they are not far behind Ma Teng.

Of course, Beigong Boyu is different from Ma Teng and Han Sui.The soldiers and horses under Ma Teng and Han Sui were mainly Han Chinese, supplemented by grassland barbarians.But Beigong Boyu is different. Beigong Boyu has Qiang blood, so his army is also dominated by Qiang people.

After a while, Beigong Boyu walked in under the leadership of the soldiers.This Beigong Boyu is not a pure-blooded Han Chinese at first glance, he has both Han and Qiang characteristics, this man is of mixed race.

"Brother Han, long time no see, long time no see." After seeing Han Sui, Beigong Boyu immediately saluted Han Sui as his brother.

"Brother Beigong, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Han Sui hurriedly called Beigong Boyu to sit down.

After the two sat down, they didn't exchange excessive greetings. Beigong Boyu asked straight to the point: "Brother Han, have you heard about Brother Ma's affairs?"

"Brother Boyu is saying that Brother Ma took down Wuwei County?" Han Sui asked.

"That's right, that's exactly what happened. Brother Ma is really capable, no wonder he was crowned king by the emperor?"

"The one who didn't say anything will bring this Wuwei County down. But, again. This country is easy to fight, but not easy to defend. Cao Cao is not easy to get along with. I'm afraid it won't be long before Cao Cao counterattacks. It's coming. With Big Brother Ma alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend Wuwei County." Beigong Boyu said solemnly.

"Brother Boyu, what do you mean?" Han Sui asked.
