Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Cheng Gongying couldn't help but sigh that the Han army was really well-off.

Tens of thousands of bushels of grain and fodder could be burned at will.

The Han general guarding the camp was truly extraordinary in his ability to adapt to changing circumstances. In such a tight time, he was able to come up with such a way to defend against the enemy!

"General Cheng Gong, they are burning food to stop us, what should we do?"

Zhao Ang shouted at Cheng Gongying with an anxious look on his face.

Cheng Gongying had no choice but to grit his teeth and say:
"At this point, we have no way to retreat. We can only order our soldiers to knock down the wall of fire in front of us and risk our lives to charge forward."

"Liu Bei must have heard the news by now and should have sent reinforcements across the river. If we delay any longer, once the Han reinforcements arrive, our efforts will be in vain!"

Zhao Ang shuddered, and without thinking too much, he swung his sword:
"Charge forward, overturn the enemy's wall of fire, and force your way through!"

"If we don't rush over, we will all die here—"

Inspired by his coercion, the Qin soldiers who were shrinking back had to endure the burning fire, waving their spears and halberds, trying desperately to push down the muskets.

After all, the grain bags were not made of earth or rocks and were not that strong, so soon countless of them were pushed over.

Deng Ai, upon seeing this, generously ordered his soldiers to throw up food bags to fill the gap and keep the wall of fire from collapsing.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qin army was still blocked outside and unable to attack the heart of the granary.

"Uuuuuu——"

The solemn sound of horns rang out over the Wei River.

Cheng Gongying and Zhao Ang subconsciously turned their heads to look. With the help of the firelight, they clearly saw countless black figures walking on the ice and approaching the north bank.

cavalry!

There were nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, rushing forward like a torrent on the frozen Wei River.

The Han army’s reinforcements have arrived!
"General Cheng Gong, Liu Bei has sent cavalry. The Han army's reinforcements have arrived!"

Zhao Ang's voice trembled, his face was as pale as paper, and endless fear surged in his eyes.

Cheng Gongying was stunned, his expression stiff and stunned, and a look of despair gradually filled his eyes.

"Why? Why did the Han army's reinforcements arrive so quickly?"

"It's half an hour earlier than I expected!"

"Could it be that Liu Bei anticipated that I was pretending to break out but was actually planning to attack his food camp, and therefore sent out cavalry to rescue him in advance?"

"Will I eventually die?"

Cheng Gongying murmured to himself, his face twisted into an expression of endless sadness.

Inside the Han camp.

Generals Deng Ai and Ma Dai also saw their own cavalry galloping over the Wei River.

"Your Majesty's reinforcements are coming so quickly?"

Ma Dai was extremely surprised and looked at Deng Ai with excitement.

Deng Ai was not surprised at all, he just sneered:

"The Prime Minister is very smart. I guess he figured out that the Qin army wanted to attack our granary, so I asked Your Majesty to send reinforcements in advance."

"How ridiculous that Yu Jin and Cheng Gongying are such ignorant people. Even Cao Cao was repeatedly defeated by the Prime Minister's schemes, and yet they dare to show off their skills in front of the Prime Minister!"

"It's ridiculous, so ridiculous!"

Ma Dai suddenly realized, and his spirits rose. He waved his gun and shouted:

"Soldiers, our cavalry has arrived. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Get ready to follow me to fight back and destroy the invading Qin bandits!"

The Han soldiers guarding the camp felt like they had been given a shot of adrenaline, and their morale suddenly soared.

The soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loudly with excitement.

The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and the Qin soldiers who were attacking the camp suddenly lost their fighting spirit and fell into panic.

The Han cavalry came too fast and rushed over on the ice in the blink of an eye.

The iron cavalry rolled forward, carrying the force of a landslide and the earth cracking, and slammed into the Qin army fiercely.

At this time, the Qin army was attacking the Han camp with all its might, and its flank was completely unprotected and exposed to the Han army's attack.

The cavalry charged forward and cut the Qin army in half in an instant.

Countless streams of blood rose into the sky, and screams were heard loudly.

The Qin soldiers were crushed like paper by the Han cavalry. The blood flowed like a river!
Before the Qin army could react, it was disrupted by the Han army on all fronts.

Zhao Yun and other cavalry generals, like the sharpest swords, led the Han cavalry to charge left and right, and in a blink of an eye, they tore the Qin army into pieces.

"Brother Cheng Gong, what should we do? How should we mess up?"

Zhao Ang woke up as if from a dream and shouted hoarsely at Cheng Gongying.

Cheng Gongying shuddered and finally came to his senses from his shock.

Glancing around, he saw that his 15,000 Qin troops had been slaughtered by the Han cavalry.

At this point, they still talked about attacking the Han army’s food camp and burning Liu Bei’s food and grass.

The best strategy is to escape back to Jicheng and save your life.

"Is there any need to ask? Retreat. The entire army should immediately withdraw to Jicheng—"

Cheng Gongying screamed loudly, turned his horse around and fled first.

Zhao Ang didn't even bother to issue military orders. He whipped his horse hastily and fled to the west.

Fifteen thousand Qin troops fled in panic.

Unfortunately, how could they escape so easily?

The Han army is composed entirely of cavalry.

A full ten thousand cavalrymen!
Although the Qin army had more soldiers and horses than the Han army, it was mainly composed of infantry, with only more than 2,000 cavalry.

How can two legs outrun four legs!

The Qin soldiers who fled with their heads in their arms were like ants scattered on the plains. They were ruthlessly chased and crushed by the Han cavalry and their lives were harvested at will.

The banks of the Wei River were stained with blood.

Cheng Gongying and Zhao Ang, with two thousand cavalrymen, abandoned the main infantry and rode their horses at full speed.

It seemed that they were about to shake off the Han cavalry behind them.

Just when they had just entered the Wei River and were about to walk on the ice across the river.

The black cavalry in front of us came towards us again.

The "Horse" flag fluttered brightly in the firelight.

He took the lead, silver spear in hand, as powerful as a god.

A man and a horse charged head-on into the Qin cavalry. With the silver spear in his hand, countless Qin cavalry were stabbed to the ground like grass.

“Ma…Ma Chao?”

Cheng Gongying and Zhao Ang, the moment they recognized the general, cried out in fear at the same time.

The Han general in front was Ma Chao.

The White Horse Volunteers led by Zhao Yun were fast and arrived at the north bank first, launching a surprise attack on the Qin army.

The cavalry led by Ma Chao was a little slower and arrived a quarter of an hour late.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had defeated the Qin army, Ma Chao had an idea and led his troops westward along the river, intending to intercept the escaping Qin army.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct.

They ran head-on into the cavalry led by Cheng Gongying and Zhao Ang.

Ma Chao led the charge and was the first to charge into the Qin army.

The Han cavalry arrived from behind and in an instant put the two thousand Qin cavalry into chaos.

Ma Chao, who was killing frantically along the way, suddenly recognized a familiar figure among the chaos of troops.

"Cheng Gongying——"

Ma Chao's eyes spit fire and he shouted out the name with gritted teeth.

The mastermind who plotted against him all over Longxi counties, causing him to be defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Weishui and forced to flee to Hanzhong.

At this moment, just a dozen steps away, he was waving his knife and struggling.

When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy. Ma Chao rode his horse, dragged his spear, and rushed towards Cheng Gongying with a heart full of anger.

Cheng Gongying, who was trying desperately to break out, heard the familiar roar. He looked up suddenly and was surprised to see Ma Chao rushing towards him like a killing god.

Cheng Gongying felt a chill on his back, smelling the scent of death. (End of this chapter)
