Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Ma Chao swung his spear, just in time to block Wei Yan's attacking sword.

When the two sides were about to fight, Ma Chao saw Zhou Shao and all the horse thieves running into the city gate in one go. They were all trash, so he was so scared, he hated iron and steel.

It took so much hard work for Ma Chao and the others to come out of the training. He never expected to get a bunch of trash, and he knew how to retreat before he started fighting. If it weren't for the fact that no one is using them now, they would have killed them all.

"Ma Chao, come and lead me to death!"

Wei Yan yelled and swung the knife again.

Ma Chao didn't want to get entangled with them anymore, his own people had left, and no one was helping him to stop him, so he would die if he stayed any longer.

And the guard Wang Yue beside Chen Yang didn't do anything, he was worried that he really wouldn't be able to escape.

After parrying Wei Yan's knife, Ma Chao turned around, followed Zhou Shao and the others, all retreated into the Jin City, and then closed the city gate tightly.

It's not that they don't want to fight, it's that they think they can't win, and then they don't want to fight.

"General, those firearms are terrible. If we rush up, we will definitely be blown up and wiped out. We don't want to die, so we have to do this."

Zhou Shao explained to himself and everyone with a trembling voice that he really wanted to fight, but the difference in strength made them lack courage, even if there were many people on his side.

Thinking of yesterday, they still fantasized that they had more than 2 people and Chen Yang had only 5000 people. Even if they stepped on them, they could crush Chen Yang's affairs to death. Only then did Zhou Shao realize how ignorant and ridiculous he was.

The decisive condition for war is not just to see whether there are too many people.

Ma Chao raised his horsewhip, intending to give Zhou Shao a hard whip, but it was difficult to do so, fearing that they might mutiny, he said in a deep voice, "Forget it!"

It was really uncomfortable to bring such waste out to fight. He realized that he was wrong again. No matter how many horse thieves there are, no matter how hard they are trained, they are just a mob, and it is difficult to become an elite in a short time.

Seeing that he was not beaten, Zhou Shao shouted in his heart to be glad, but before he was happy for a long time, someone on the tower suddenly shouted: "Siege...they attacked the city!"

Ma Chao went to the top of the tower to watch, and saw that Wei Yan was leading the crowd to attack, constantly directing the horse thieves to fight back.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better guard this tower for me. If the city is broken, no one will survive."

Ma Chao said loudly.

They really didn't want to die, and after hearing Ma Chao's words, all the horse thieves dared not be negligent, driven by the desire to survive, and there was only one belief in their hearts, that is to stay here and live.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted until noon, when Chen Yang and the others retreated, allowing the people in the city to finally have a rest.

Ma Chao looked out at the barracks, his face became more and more gloomy, and he looked more terrifying.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass this enemy, let alone kill him.

The revenge actions for so long made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

However, he had a feeling that Jincheng would never be able to defend it, and Chen Yang would have to break it sooner or later.

What's more, the defenders of the city are still relying on these useless horse thieves. If they want to defend it, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"I have to prepare for the contingency as soon as possible."

Ma Chao was thinking in his heart that he didn't intend to defend the city anymore, he had to leave before Chen Yang broke in.

He never dreamed that Chen Yang would appear in Guanzhong. If he had known in advance, he would definitely not have come to attack the Jincheng so soon.

"General, what are we going to do now?"

Zhou Shao said worriedly.

Who is Chen Yang, even if they are horse thieves, they are no strangers.

The legendary General Chen who is invincible in all battles is the most top-notch existence among all the famous generals and advisers in today's troubled times. Their combat power is not enough for Chen Yang to train troops.

"Hold on!"

Ma Chao said loudly: "We have a large number of people and occupy the advantage of the city. Chen Yang's firearms are powerful, but can they be thrown in directly over the wall? As long as we stick to it, we will win, and we have no way out!"

They thought about it seriously, there was really no way out, even if they went out and surrendered, would Chen Yang let them go?

They feel that there is a high probability that they will not.

"Fight!"

Zhou Shao gritted his teeth and said.

Ma Chao left the city tower, and went back to prepare to leave the plan. He didn't want to stay and die, and he still had blood and blood to avenge.

Inside the barracks outside the city.

"My lord, this Ma Chao is really lucky."

Wei Yan was the one who went to Nanzhong with him at the beginning, and he felt the deepest about Ma Chao, and continued: "We couldn't kill him in Liangzhou back then, and later in Jianning, we also let him escape. Liu Bei was still powerful back then."

"Escape!"

Chen Yang thought about it, and asked, "Do you think Ma Chao will also run away this time?"

He looked at the tower of Jincheng, Zhou Shao and other horse thieves were still guarding the city.

Wei Yan said: "The lord is saying that he thinks he is not our opponent, and then tries to escape?"

Chen Yang nodded slightly and said, "Since this is a possibility, you continue to attack the city tonight, and I will walk around outside to see if Ma Chao will take the opportunity to sneak out."

Soon at night, Chen Yang and Wei Yan split into two groups, and the latter led the troops to attack the city.

Zhou Chong and the others on the tower had just finished their dinner when they heard the noise from below the city. They were almost not frightened, and they all gritted their teeth and ran up to defend the city.

Together with Wang Yue, Chen Yang took more than 500 people, bypassed the city gate they were attacking now, and headed north.

"Keep an eye on the nearby city gates, if you find someone fleeing, report back immediately."

As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, a few shadows went to act immediately, and then he could only wait.

About half an hour later, a shadow ran back and said, "My lord, someone from Ximen has left the city."

"Ma Chao is finally coming!"

Chen Yang said: "Kill them!"

More than 500 of them came near the west gate.

Not long after arriving, they saw seven or eight hundred people, guarding a tall war horse, fleeing in the direction of Liangzhou in a panic.

"Catch up and kill them all!"

Chen Yang shouted.

The soldiers quickly chased after the fleeing horse thieves. First, they raised their crossbows and shot down dozens of people. Hundreds of people on the other side turned around to intercept them.

Chen Yang and Wang Yue rode their horses and rushed over first, bypassing those intercepting people, and saw Ma Chao sitting on top of the steed at the forefront at a glance.

As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, they entered the range of the crossbow arrows.

Chen Yang picked up his crossbow and shot several horse thieves who were about to stop his horse. When he was about to chase Ma Chao, another shadow rode a fast horse and dared to come from the north.

"My lord, it's not good!"

The shadow said: "There are also people coming out of the city gate in the north."

north?

"No, it's a hit!"

Chen Yang looked at Ma Chao in front of him from a distance, and quickly said, "Wang Yue, I'll leave this person to you. Come and go to the north with 200 people."

He didn't expect that Ma Chao was also so cunning, and knew how to confuse his own thoughts with the method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
