Chapter 1722 Decisive Battle at Shangdang Nine

Shangdang North.

On a galloping road, a group of cavalry was on their way quickly.

"Commander, there seems to be movement in front?" A cavalryman hurried back from the front, and then bowed his hands to the general in the center

"What movement!"

The general raised his head slightly, revealing a delicate face, with a sharp light in his pupils, and the spear in his hand flashed with murderous intent.

He is Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, the commander of the Divine Guard.

Originally, Ma Chao should have stayed by Mu Jing's side all the time, but after all, he was a mighty fighter on the battlefield, so his patience was not enough.

He begged several times, and Mu Jing couldn't bear the heart of this Xiliang horse being depressed by him. He kept it by his side just to suppress his temper, but he never thought of crushing him. .

Ma Chao always belongs to the battlefield.

He was originally a brave and powerful general, but it would be a pity if, as in history, he withered after being reclaimed by Liu Bei as General of the Five Tigers.

Only when he is on the battlefield will he show his effectiveness.

So Mu Jing released him, and also needed his unparalleled cavalry ability.

For Ma Chao, this expedition is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event. He begged Mu Jing for a long time and Zhang Liao's strategic assistance before letting him lead the cavalry out for a trip.

So this time, he had to complete the task very well.

Going north along the eastern road, their purpose was to cut off the connection between Shangdang and Taiyuan, especially the logistics line of the Yan army.

In addition, I want to see if I can lure the cavalry of the Yan army out, hold them back, and prevent them from making trouble on the main battlefield.

"I seem to have met Yan Jun's grain transport team!"

"sure?"

"Not sure, we dare not approach, because they are guarded by cavalry, it is impossible to determine whether it is a food transport team, or they are a trap for us!"

said the scout.

"Explore again, look carefully!"

"promise!"

When the scouts went back to inquire about the news, Ma Chao hesitated a bit, whether to fight or not, if it was a transport team, he had to eat it.

But if it was a trap set by the enemy cavalry for him, if he stepped into it with one foot, he would be in big trouble and even be unable to get out.

You know, although the Yueqi Battalion under his command has good combat effectiveness, it has not many troops, only [-] cavalry. If he encounters a large-scale enemy cavalry, he can only flee.

If the Zhaoming cavalry were here, he would be able to fight. In terms of the ability to command the cavalry, he thought that everyone in the world need not be inferior.

Back then, Xiliang's most elite cavalry, Fei Xiongqi, would not have been slaughtered by Mu Jing when he broke through the siege if it wasn't for Lu Bu's carelessness and Niu Fu's carelessness.

Later, they also tried to reorganize the Flying Bear Cavalry, but the effect was not good.

Now the flying bear cavalry has disappeared from the world, but the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou flying cavalry, as well as the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army, are all elite cavalry.

And Yan Jun's Baima Yicong can be regarded as an elite cavalry.

If they meet, it will definitely be Baima Yicong of the Yan Army. Whether the Yueqiying can win the battle at that time, Ma Chao doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

"beat!"

After much consideration, Ma Chao made a decision. He said to Captain Yueqi: "Lieutenant Li, lead a thousand cavalry into the formation. , That is to kill a pass, then burn the food and grass, and then withdraw, if it is a trap for the enemy cavalry, you immediately retreat, and I will personally lead the army!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The Yueqi school lieutenant handed over his command.

………………

An hour later.

On a hillside next to Chidao, the Yueqi Battalion was resting.

"Fortunately, it is indeed Yan Jun's grain transport team!"

Ma Chao calmed down and said in a low voice.

The battle went well.

It only took more than half an hour for the battle to be over. More than [-] soldiers of the Yan army who transported grain died in battle.

They did not encounter the Yan army cavalry, so the battle was fought very quickly, and they also retreated quickly, and they retreated quickly, with negligible casualties.

"Commander, the Yan army's grain transportation team will appear from here. Will there be more later? After all, this official road is also one of the official roads going south!"

A general who accompanied the army bowed his hands and saluted, and then said to the proposal.

"It's not unreasonable, but it's very difficult to gain anything by sitting on the sidelines. Besides, we can't stay here for too long!"

There was a hot and indifferent light in Ma Chao's eyes, and he scanned the distance. He seemed to have seen the scene where the cavalry of the Yan army was about to appear: "Don't forget, we have enemies. The cavalry of the Yan army, whether it is mobility or The combat power is not inferior to ours!"

"Then what should we do next?"

The Yueqi school lieutenant cupped his hands and asked.

"Deep!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and said, "Their logistics is in Taiyuan, and they transport grain southward, and they all go south from Taiyuan. If that's the case, then I will directly attack Taiyuan!"

"Will it be too risky!"

"How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den~" Ma Chao's face was firm, and his voice was decisive: "Your Majesty is confronting the main force of the Yan army at the front line, and they will soon be fighting. If it is destroyed, it will be of decisive help to the situation of the battle, this is a great achievement, the man is alive, and he is going to make achievements in the battlefield, are you willing to follow me into Taiyuan to fight?"

"war!"

Soon a decisive voice responded.

"war!"

"war!"

The fighting spirit of Yueqiying became more and more surging.

"Okay, let's follow the official road and enter Taiyuan!"

Ma Chao drank angrily.

"Into Taiyuan!"

"Into Taiyuan!"

The fighting spirit of Yueqiying was getting stronger and stronger, and they had to go straight to Taiyuan with all their strength.

....................................

At this time, not far from the cavalry of the Ming army, a cavalry appeared quietly.

It was the cavalry led by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun led half of the Baima Yicong to patrol the eastern direction of the Shangdang. It was the Ming cavalry who were worried that they were making trouble, but he was still a step too late.

"Are you a grain transporter?"

Zhao Yun looked at the farmer who transported grain in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, his whole body exuded such a strong killing intent, he said coldly: "What's going on, tell me quickly, or someone will behead you today! "

"General, it has nothing to do with villains. Suddenly a cavalry appeared and killed the officers and soldiers. Then ours fled. They burned all the food and grass!"

The people who transported the grain were all ordinary people recruited from Bingzhou. He replied cautiously, for fear that the general in front of him would chop off his head with a knife.

"cavalry?"

Zhao Yun jumped up against the case: "I really can't find you, but you appeared by yourself!"

His task is to find out the cavalry of the Ming army and annihilate them, but Shangdang said it was not big or small, and he would want to find the cavalry all the time, which is not such an easy task .

After searching for a few days, he couldn't find any clues. Instead, both the eastern and southern fronts were at war, which made him a little anxious. He wanted to go back and help, but he couldn't find these moles, and he felt uneasy.

Uncle Huang's worries, he knew in his heart that the Eastern Front was weak and there were not many troops, and the main force was fighting in the eldest son city. Yan Jun will inevitably suffer a big loss.

So it was his task to find out this cavalry.

"All captains gather!"

"exist!"

"Zhao Feng!"

"The end is here!"

"Right away all the scouts, go out to inquire, and find the cavalry that attacked the food delivery team. They just attacked the food delivery team. They can't run far away. No matter which direction they are in, they should be not far from us. Don't startle the enemy. !"

"promise!"

Zhao Feng is a member of the Zhao family in Changshan. He came out with Zhao Yun to serve as a soldier and ate food, so he wanted to return to his hometown in glory.

As Zhao Yun became more and more respected, more and more of them, sons of the Zhao family, came to the fore, but the higher they climbed, the farther they found the way home.

But with Zhao Yun around, they can feel at ease, even if they are not in their hometown.

As Zhao Yun's direct descendant, Zhao Feng has always been the scout captain, in charge of the scout troops among the white horse righteous followers.

He quickly led the scouts under his command and began to ride horses to inquire about news.

Zhao Yun continued to lead his army forward.

Liu Bei was willing to spend his capital. Baima Yicong had only a few thousand soldiers at the beginning, but now he has nearly tens of thousands of soldiers. He kept half of them. Even if Zhao Yun only had half of them, he still had five thousand elite cavalry.

There are over ten thousand cavalry, and they gallop up, covering the sky and covering the earth. Even if there are thousands of cavalry, the sound of horseshoes on the official road can shake the surroundings into restlessness.

..............................

"Commander, two of our scouts died in battle!"

Ma Chao integrated his troops and was preparing to go too far, but he didn't expect that the news came first from the scouts.

"what happened?"

"It should be a battle with the enemy scouts, but there is not much movement in the battle. Our people haven't come back, so their scouts should have infiltrated!"

The Scout Marquis clasped his hands and said.

"Enemy cavalry?"

Ma Chao stared: "It came so fast!"

"Commander, what should we do now?" All the generals looked at Ma Chao, the commander of the Divine Guard.

"beat!"

Ma Chao thought for a while and said, "No matter what, we have to fight them, otherwise they will stick to us like a piece of dog skin plaster, and we can't do anything!"

"But we don't know the enemy's strength, so we will suffer a loss if we start a war rashly!"

Someone asked.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If they have more than three times my strength, I will admit defeat, but if they don't, then this battle can still be fought!"

Ma Chao raised the spear in his hand and said, "Let's strike first!"

"Yes!"

The Yueqi Battalion is under the command of the Divine Guard Army, so it naturally obeyed Ma Chao's military orders.

"Scout!"

"exist!"

"You don't need to hide and hide. Go and inquire boldly to see where the main force of the enemy's cavalry is. If you encounter enemy scouts, kill them!"

"Yes!"

The scout army led the order and left.

Ma Chao let go of the marching map in his hand. Since he came out, he would definitely bring a detailed marching map. After all, unfamiliar terrain is the most taboo thing in war.

"Currently we are at this position, three miles to the east, it is a plain, the plain is most suitable for cavalry to fight, and the battlefield is here!"

Ma Chao said.

"Yan Jun may not follow us!"

"They will!" Ma Chao sneered: "I guess their chief general is also looking for us at this time. If that's the case, let's fight openly!"

Zhao Yun.

Zhao Zilong.

This name has become very famous recently. After all, he rode thousands of miles, rushed to kill Wushuang, and forcibly snatched Guan Yu back from the encirclement.

With such a record, even Ma Chao felt envious and jealous.

Even if he can't compare to Huang Zhong Lu Bu and other peerless warriors, Zhao Yun is definitely a powerful general who is not inferior to himself in ability and combat effectiveness.

He really wanted to fight Zhao Yun.

After all, on the battlefield, it is very rare to meet an opponent who I think is half-baked. Either the enemy is too weak, or the enemy is too strong.

At this time, if Ma Chao competes with people like Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, he may not be able to please him, but if he fights with Zhao Yun and others, he still has a chance.

........................

"Unscrupulous investigation?" Zhao Yun soon got the news of the cavalry of the Ming army, and he sneered: "This is the afternoon!"

"General, the enemy's chief general doesn't know who he is, how dare he come to provoke him?" A school lieutenant said murderously: "There is no need for a general to lead the army, so I will personally lead the army to meet him!"

"no!"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "The Ming army can let this person lead the cavalry out of the camp and go north alone, then this person must have an advantage, it is definitely not easy!"

He didn't dare to underestimate them. After all, on the battlefield, more than 50.00% of the losers were caused by underestimating the enemy.

He must maintain the highest level of realm against opponents he has never met.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Open the marching map!"

"Yes!"

A marching map was opened, Zhao Yun looked at the terrain marked on the map, and pondered for a long time: "With a radius of tens of miles, the only place where our cavalry can fight is this plain. If he wants to fight, I will fight. If you want to defeat him, don't go looking for people everywhere!"

"Children!"

"exist!"

"Listen to my military order, target, go eight miles north, and advance quickly!"

"Yes!"

Baima Yicong's speed was very fast, like a white torrent passing by, quickly passing the official road for hours.

....................................

An hour later, it was noon in the morning.

on a small plain.

The two armies confront each other.

The Ming army was short of troops, only about [-] cavalry, while the Yan army had more than [-] cavalry. In terms of momentum, both sides are not bad.

"Zhao Yun from a certain country of Yan, who is coming, report your name, and if Zhao shoots down, don't kill the unknown person!"

Zhao Yun's silver spear was erected, with awe-inspiring killing intent.

"So-and-so, the commander of the Great Ming God Guards, Ma Chao!" Ma Chao's eyes were vivid, and he looked at the young man in front of him. This man was no older than himself, but he was a little shocked by the momentum.

In martial arts training, the final step is to condense one's momentum to reach the pinnacle. Zhao Yun's sharp and unparalleled momentum put a lot of pressure on him.

But he has no fear. In terms of realm, he is also a Yuangang warrior who can gather momentum. His spear skills are unparalleled in the world.

"Horse from Xiliang, just in time, I will kill you today!"

Zhao Yun moved.

"kill!"

Ma Chao also moved.

The two armies moved suddenly, as if two torrents were opposing each other.
