Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 400: Massacre! The Modao Army vs. the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

"Major General, the enemy's attack is too fierce!"

The blood-soaked general, holding a sword with many holes in it, came to the city gate tower, panting, and reported to Ma Chao.

The Western Liang Army was famous for its cavalry, and defending cities was not their strong point; in addition, the Han Army's attack was too sudden, and they were completely unprepared.

Therefore, facing the fierce attack of the Han army like a tide, it became increasingly difficult for them to defend.

Ma Chao said nothing, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.

On the east and south walls, ladders and siege carts were pushed down to the foot of the walls, and Han soldiers climbed up one after another to attack the city.

Although the walls of Chang'an City are tall and wide, their disadvantages are also obvious - that is, Chang'an is too large and requires times the number of troops to defend it.

The Han army came well prepared this time and their numbers were far greater than theirs.

The military force in Chang'an City might be able to hold out for a while, but it would be impossible for them to sustain the attack of the Han army for long!

"Pound! You really deserve to die!!"

When he thought of this, Ma Chao couldn't help feeling angry. He wished he could rush out of the city immediately and cut off Pang De's head with his own hands!

But he could only think about it. The Han army included Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, and even Zhao Yun and Zhang He. Any one of these four people was as strong as him.

After thinking it over, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and ordered: "Abandon Chang'an City and evacuate from the north gate!"

Originally, he was planning to hold on to Chang'an City and wait for Cao Cao's troops to come to his rescue after receiving the news, but the fierce offensive of the Han army made him give up this plan.

Because he had no way to defend Chang'an before reinforcements arrived.

If you stay, you will just wait for death!
Upon hearing this, the guard at the side asked, "Major General, what should we do about the old general?"

Ma Teng is still imprisoned in the general's mansion. If he is brought along, he will undoubtedly be a burden. But if he is not brought along...

Ma Chao's face was uncertain, and he whispered, "Don't worry about him, just set fire to the mansion."

In the end, he still couldn't make the decision to kill his biological father, so he chose to burn down the general's mansion. As for whether Ma Teng could survive the fire, that depended on God's will.

The guard was shocked, but dared not say anything and just did as he was told.

……

Han army formation outside Chang'an city.

Gao Shun came to report: "General, the southern city wall has been captured by our army, and the enemy is evacuating from the north gate and fleeing westward!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this. His decision was indeed correct. Ma Chao was caught off guard and was completely unable to defend the city of Chang'an!

Lu Bu immediately raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and said, "We can't let Ma Chao get away! I will lead the troops to chase him and bring his head to see Your Majesty!"

He may ignore other things, but he must not forgive Ma Chao, the traitor who attempted to split his grandson's kingdom!
"Okay, let Zilong go with you!"

Zhang Liao did not hesitate and ordered, "Send a message to General Zhang He to lead the Mo Dao Army to intercept Ma Chao at the front!"

He had anticipated that Ma Chao might escape, so he had already ordered the Modao Army to be on standby in the west, and now they happened to run into him!

"promise!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists in response and hurried forward to deliver the message.

Soon, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun both set out, each leading 5,000 cavalrymen from the Wuhuan to pursue Ma Chao.

On the other hand, after receiving the news, Zhang He immediately handed over the attack on the East Gate to his deputy general, and led the Modao Army to intercept the enemy.

After Ma Chao escaped from Chang'an City through the north gate, he fled to the west. Chang'an City could not be defended, and his only way of retreat now was to return to his hometown in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is his world. After he goes back and recuperates for a few years, he can gather his army again and make a comeback!
"Major General! There are pursuers coming from behind!"

After hearing what his deputy general said, Ma Chao turned around and saw a cavalry group chasing him closely.

Although the number of people is small, their momentum is quite amazing.

But the key is the two generals rushing in the front!
One of them wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, held a painted halberd in his hand, and rode a red rabbit horse; the other one wore a white robe, silver armor, and a silver spear, with a handsome face. They were Lu Bu and Zhao Yun!

"Horse, don't run away! Come and fight me to the death!"

Lu Bu roared and kept waving his whip, using the speed of his Red Hare to close the distance between him and the enemy in front.

At this moment, the only target in his eyes was Ma Chao!
Ma Chao felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He had fought with Lu Bu before, and this kind of monster was not something he could defeat at all.

What’s more, there is also Zhao Yun, who has a record of winning battles against thousands of troops!
Even though his own troops far outnumbered the pursuers, Ma Chao did not dare to accept the challenge rashly, because once he was caught up, more Han troops would chase after him.

"Escape quickly! Head to Sanguan!"

Ma Chao said anxiously that Sanguan was still under the control of his troops. As long as they could escape Sanguan, they could buy time for him to evacuate.

But at this moment he suddenly discovered that there was a large army of infantry blocking the road ahead. This army of infantry were wearing gorgeous armor, holding exaggerated swords in their hands, and were waiting for them on the road they had to take to escape.

“It’s really annoying!”

A trace of impatience appeared on Ma Chao's face. Although the infantry was vulnerable to the cavalry, it would at least delay his escape time.

However, the enemy was blocking the road, and it was impossible to dodge or bypass them. Ma Chao had murderous intent in his heart and said coldly: "Western Liang Iron Cavalry! Crush them!"

Since they want to die, then he will make it happen for them!

His Xiliang Iron Cavalry was feared throughout the world. Although he was not good at defending cities, he was unrivaled in the world when it came to charging. Any heavily armored infantry was nothing but chickens and dogs in front of his Iron Cavalry!

As Ma Chao's order was issued, tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry suddenly began to speed up and charged forward with a force that could shake the sky and the earth.

Such earth-shaking power is like the waves on the Qiantang River, making people tremble from the bottom of their hearts!
If the cavalry launches a charge, it means countless lives will be harvested and countless corpses will be trampled into powder!

At this time, there was a large army blocking the road ahead.

It was the Modao Army led by Zhang He!
Now he had also changed into the weapons and equipment of the Modao Army, stood in front of the army formation, and looked coldly at the Xiliang Army rushing towards him.

"The Liangzhou cavalry is the best in the world..."

Zhang He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, then clenched the Mo Dao in his hand, raised his arm and roared: "Mo Dao Army——!"

“Fight to the death—!”

Countless soldiers of the Mo Dao Army roared in unison. Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frosty blade has never been tested.

I will show it to you today, and it will surely shock the world!
Under the shining of the rising sun, tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry and Modao troops collided with each other, and there seemed to be a moment of silence between heaven and earth.

Then shouts of killing resounded throughout the world!
When cavalry faced infantry, their formation would often be broken in one charge, and then they would be slaughtered at will by the cavalry charging from behind.

But now, offense and defense have changed!
The Modao Army fought fearlessly against the Xiliang Cavalry, and the big Modao in their hands finally showed their unique power on this battlefield!
Taking advantage of the momentum of the cavalry's charge, the Modao Army soldiers could cut the horse's head and the soldiers on it into two pieces with one strike!
And this process does not take much effort for the soldiers, because the Mo Dao itself is extremely sharp. They don't even need to swing it hard. Let the enemy hit their blades, and then chop them away!
The charging momentum that the cavalry used to be proud of has now become their own death warrant. What's more terrifying is that their lives are often taken away by the long-handled Modao in the hands of the Modao soldiers before their blades can even reach them!

"what!"

Seeing that the Western Liang cavalry was being slaughtered by the infantry army in front of him, Ma Chao was shocked and screamed out.

The bloody scenes of people and horses being torn to pieces and intestines and internal organs spilling all over the floor, hit his eyes and heart hard!
He just felt that his long-held cognition was completely overturned. He had never seen such a scene before!

What kind of army is this!
The slaughter by the Modao Army continued. Although they were scattered, they did not fight alone. Instead, they formed groups of three or two and coordinated with each other to attack the enemy.

They were like a sophisticated machine, displaying their own violent aesthetics on the battlefield and constantly reaping the lives of the enemy.

No one was afraid, and no one retreated.

When they were selected to join the Modao Army, they knew their mission, which was to be the sharpest sword and the strongest shield on the battlefield!

They have no way to retreat, they will fight to the death!
Lu Bu and Chao Yun, who were chasing Ma Chao from behind, also saw the bloody scene on the battlefield ahead. Even though they were brave generals who had experienced hundreds of battles and witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they couldn't help but be moved after seeing this scene.

"This... is the power of the Mo Dao Army?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of shock. Although he knew that the Modao Army was strong, he did not expect them to be this strong.

No wonder the emperor spent so much effort and cost to build this army. On the battlefield, it is a deadly weapon to restrain cavalry!
Not to mention dealing with infantry!
Lu Bu standing by was almost drooling, his eyes sparkling, and Xian couldn't help but say sourly: "It would be great if Your Majesty could let me lead the Mo Dao Army..."

Seeing the strength of the Modao Army, he suddenly felt that his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was no longer effective, because he knew that even if he personally led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to attack the Modao Army, the only outcome would be defeat.

After wiping his saliva, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, while the Modao Army is stalling for time, let's quickly encircle them from behind!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun agreed immediately, and the two of them divided their troops to the left and right, trying to form a circle to surround Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was fighting fiercely with the Modao Army on the battlefield with an iron spear in his hand. He stabbed a Modao soldier with his spear, but the soldier quickly turned sideways, causing the spear tip to rub against his shoulder guard, creating a series of sparks.

Then the soldier wielded his Mo Dao and slashed at the horse under him. Ma Chao quickly raised his spear to block the attack, and then took advantage of the soldier's unpreparedness and stabbed him in the throat with his spear, finally killing him.

"What kind of monsters are these!"

After dealing with this Modao soldier, Ma Chao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

These soldiers are equipped with weapons that are more sophisticated than one can imagine, and their fighting abilities are extraordinary, making each of them extremely difficult to deal with.

He has only killed seven or eight enemy soldiers since the start of the war.

Where did the imperial court get such a large army? !
While he was thinking, several more soldiers from the Modao Army came together to kill him. Ma Chao did not dare to underestimate them and gritted his teeth to kill them off.

Then he looked around the battlefield and saw that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and the pursuers behind him had caught up.

"Don't fight any longer! Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Ma Chao knew that if this continued not only would the Xiliang army be wiped out here but he would also die here, so he hurriedly gave the order.

Although this infantry army is powerful, they are still infantry after all. They are not as agile as cavalry. As long as they are determined to escape, the enemy will not be able to catch up with them.

Seeing the military flags begin to withdraw, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army also began to retreat in the direction of the flags. Of course, they were inevitably blocked by the Modao Army in the process, and they paid a considerable price before they successfully left the battlefield.

"Huh, huh..."

Zhang He looked at the enemy troops retreating into the distance, then sat down on the ground full of corpses and blood, gasping for breath from exhaustion.

You must know that although the weapons and equipment of the Modao Army have strong defensive and offensive capabilities, they are also very heavy and very energy-consuming.

At this time, Lü Bu and Zhao Yun led their troops over. Zhang He could not help but blame himself and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't wait until the two generals arrived."

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You have delayed long enough, leave the rest to us, Zilong, let's go!"

"drive!"

After saying this, he and Zhao Yun continued to lead the troops to pursue Ma Chao.

Zhang He continued to rest on the spot for a while, then looked up at the bloody battlefield, a proud smile appearing on his bloodstained face.

"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is nothing more than this!"

……

In Chang'an City, the General's Mansion.

Raging fires broke out in various places in the palace, with flames and billowing smoke rising straight into the sky and clearly visible across several streets.

“Cough, cough, cough—!”

Ma Teng lay in the snow outside the general's mansion, coughing constantly. A lot of his hair and beard were burnt, and his body was covered with stains.

After he calmed down for a long time, he said to the ordinary-looking man dressed as a servant beside him, "Thank you very much for rescuing me, messenger."

The man dressed as a servant was the embroidered robe messenger.

Ma Chao set fire to the general's mansion. If the envoy in embroidered clothes had not appeared and rescued him from the fire, he would probably have been burned to death in there.

"Just a little thing."

The embroidered robed messenger smiled slightly and said, "Chang'an has been breached, Ma Chao has fled westward, and the imperial army will soon attack Chang'an."

Upon hearing this news, Ma Teng was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I knew that the beast was lying to me. How could he possibly defeat Master Wang?"

"By the way, may I ask the messenger... hm?"

When Ma Teng came to his senses, he found that the envoy in embroidered clothes who had been talking to him had disappeared at some point.

"It's really elusive..."

Ma Teng was secretly shocked, but soon immersed in the joy of regaining his freedom, and stood up and walked towards the city gate.
