Chapter 231: Big Defeat
() When the shrill horn sounded in Chang'an City, the two groups of people outside the city were still running and chasing each other... Because each of them was focused on the other, neither of them noticed it.
The changes in Chang'an City occurred until the city gate suddenly opened and countless murderous cavalry rushed out from inside. Many Xiliang cavalry running in front were suddenly stunned.
After the battle just now, the Xiliang army that attacked had lost all its energy. At this time, they were only thinking about how to run back to the city and save their lives. They forgot that they still had men in the city who could provide reinforcements. But now, seeing
They thought of this when their formidable companions fought out, and at the same time, some of the courage they had lost seemed to come back.
At this time, the group of cavalrymen who came out of the city paid no attention to their comrades who were in front of them. They roared past them and then rushed toward those not far away. Among them, the one rushing towards them was
The person at the front is not Ma Chao, but Hua Xiong!
After being defeated by his opponent and severely punished by Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong was deprived of his military power. Although Ma Yue still spoke for him, it could only save his life. It would be too much for him to lead troops into battle again.
It was difficult. It was not until a series of changes occurred within the Xiliang Army and Ma Yue jumped to the stage that he called Hua Xiong to him and asked him to fight.
For Hua Xiong, who was holding back his anger and wanted to get rid of the humiliation he had suffered before, it was impossible to refuse Ma Yue if he could give him this opportunity. Now all he could think about was a big victory.
Use your own strength to prove that the previous defeat was a crime other than war, thereby re-establishing your position in the Xiliang army.
Because of this motivation, he no longer wanted to repay Ma Yue for his love and protection. This time Hua Xiong fought tooth and nail. Although he was a general in the army and did not have to charge forward, he still looked like a brave man.
Like a dead soldier, he acted as the arrowhead for this cavalry, and with an indomitable momentum, he crashed into the center of the vanguard of the Kwantung Allied Forces.
Rushing in front of the enemy, Hua Xiong roared like a tiger, raised his sword with both hands, and then slashed hard. A soldier of the Kwantung Allied Forces in front of him who was pursuing the Xiliang Army had no time to react or parry.
With this move, he was cut in half with a sword and fell off his horse.
Hua Xiong's murderous nature was also completely aroused by this sword. He was a man on horseback, completely ignoring the countless enemies in front of him. He roared and charged in. Wherever the sword was swung, heads fell to the ground. And there were
Hua Xiong
This tiger general charged forward, which inspired the fighting spirit of the other cavalry. Without any fear or hesitation, they quickly rushed towards the Kwantung Allied Forces, and soon rushed into the enemy ranks, continuously slashing and killing everyone.
The unsuspecting Kwantung Allied Forces arrived.
As mentioned before, the cavalry's greatest advantage is their speed. When the cavalry starts running completely, the impact cannot be resisted by ordinary infantry. Moreover, these Kwantung Allied Forces are still in
The cavalry rushed forward in a completely defenseless situation, which made them even more unable to resist.
Even people like Cao Cao would not have thought that things would change like this. In fact, the night attack of the Xiliang Army this time was enough to surprise them, and they were able to quickly stabilize the formation and not only block the enemy.
The surprise attack and the counterattack while taking advantage of the force were enough to make them proud. When they turned from defense to offense and turned defeat into victory, they certainly did not think that the Xiliang Army would have any preparations.
So when Hua Xiong and others led their troops into their ranks, these people suddenly panicked again. And this time the panic was even worse than before. Just now they could at least calm down and resist slowly, but now they themselves
Also in the process of running, we suddenly encountered an attack, and the response between the front and rear teams became a big problem.
And this time the Xiliang Army took advantage of their opponents. After charging into the enemy's formation, the more than 10,000 cavalrymen dispersed and rushed to both sides, immediately intercepting the Kwantung Allied Forces.
Two cuts.
When the Kwantung Allied Forces wanted to pass the order and hold on, they found that the order was already a little difficult to convey. After all, it was not daylight yet. If the order was conveyed only by drums and music, everyone could not hear clearly in the chaos, lanterns and so on.
Not even taking them with them, the situation of the Kwantung Allied Forces instantly became critical.
For them, the real trouble is yet to come. If they face only Ma Teng's group, even if the army is cut off, there is still the possibility of turning defeat into victory. After all, their military strength is
They had a huge advantage. But now, in addition to Ma Teng's troops, there were tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in front of them who had been driven away by them.
After being stunned at the beginning, these people quickly came to their senses. Now is the perfect time to counterattack. The tone of being killed by the Kwantung Allied Forces and fleeing just now is now the time to show off. So.
Almost at the same time, Li Que, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Guo Fan and other generals issued orders to turn around and attack.
Immediately, the Xiliang Army launched a massive counterattack again, beating the front line of the Kwantung Allied Army to pieces and scattering them in all directions.
On top of the city, when he saw the Xiliang army turning back to attack the enemy, Ma Yue finally smiled with relief: "This battle is settled!"
Ma Teng also nodded repeatedly: "With the end of this battle, the morale of our army will be boosted again, and those Kwantung Allied Forces may no longer dare to invade our Chang'an City!" At this point, he paused again, and then continued.
Wu said without worry: "But if we talk about military achievements in this battle, I'm afraid we may not be ranked first in this battle."
Because we had made an agreement before, the merit will be determined by the number of enemies killed. Now, although it was Ma Teng's men who turned the tide of the battle, in terms of the number of enemies killed, they obviously cannot compare with those who fought twice.
of the fighting team.
Regarding Ma Teng's worries, Ma Yue secretly laughed. When he encouraged his father to fight for this time, he didn't seem to value this position very much, but now that he has the opportunity, he is so concerned about gains and losses. In fact, Ma Yue also knows that his father
He was ambitious, otherwise Ma Teng would not have done what he did in history. But now that he can express his expectations and worries, Ma Yue is happy to see him.
After laughing, Ma Yue also looked serious and said: "Father, don't worry too much about this. The reason why we can win this battle is that our people took action in time, so in terms of credit, they can't compete with us like this."
. Moreover, after this battle, other people from all walks of life suffered considerable damage, but our situation is the most optimistic. As long as we take this as an opportunity to act, we should be able to convince them!"
"If it is true as you said, then of course it would be the best!" Ma Teng also nodded and immediately noticed that there was something strange in his son's smile. He soon discovered his gaffe, shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Being a father is not only for myself, but also for the future of our Ma family and your brothers. At this time, if we can become the new owners of Xiliang, it will naturally be the best opportunity for our Ma family."
"Haier knows that he also thinks so this time. After Dong Zhuo's death, Xiliang will inevitably have a leaderless period. Even if we can't convince everyone for a while, as long as we occupy this name, we may replace Dong Zhuo.
It's bigger." Ma Yue nodded in agreement.
At this time, the fighting outside the city was still going on, but the father and son in the city had already set their sights on the post-war battle. It seemed that the war was already under control. In fact, they did have such confidence, because as the Xiliang army turned back
After fighting back, the last resistance courage of the Kwantung Allied Forces also disappeared.
After seeing the sergeants fall to the ground and being killed one by one, and seeing the Xiliang army rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, Zhang Miao, who had suffered heavy losses due to the night attack, had already begun to think about retreating, and fought to keep Qingshan alive.
Their real purpose of raising troops was to gain profits, not to do whatever they wanted for the Han Dynasty as they said. Now seeing that their men and horses were so seriously damaged, it was impossible to attack Chang'an easily.
, he naturally has no intention of fighting.
Immediately, the sound of gold ringing was heard from behind Zhang Miao's troops. Moreover, someone shouted in accordance with the order: "General Zhang has an order, retreat your troops quickly to protect yourself!" When these actions and orders came to
Four weeks later, the Kwantung Allied Forces, which had no intention of fighting anymore, completely collapsed.
Without saying a word, and regardless of the fact that their own soldiers were still fighting with the Xiliang army not far away in front of them, they turned around and walked back. And the actions of these people even affected other people who were still going to fight. For example
Like an avalanche, the entire army of tens of thousands of people was quickly overwhelmed by their own fear and fear of war. They no longer dared to move forward and instead scattered away.
When he saw this scene, Yuan Shao was stunned. His complexion turned pale in an instant, and he was even more shocked than when he learned that his entire clan was killed a few months ago. Because he knew very well that this time
Defeat will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of the entire Kwantung Allied Forces, and as the leader of this alliance, he will probably be regarded as the biggest source of failure in this battle from now on.
"Benchu, order the withdrawal, otherwise I'm afraid that the other troops will collapse!" Cao Cao couldn't care too much at this time, and immediately took Yuan Shao's hand and said hurriedly: "Withdrawing from the battle at this time can still save the life."
Leave some strength for the future, otherwise..."
"I understand!" Yuan Shao took a deep breath and nodded. With a pale complexion, he looked much older than before, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Send the order, the army retreats, avoid
The enemy’s edge!”
This order signified that the Kwantung Allied Forces were completely defeated in this battle. They had just arrived at Chang'an City and suffered a devastating blow. I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to the Xiliang Army in the future.
