Just as Zhuge Liang was galloping towards Chang'an, Ma Chao also fell into despair.

That is really very despairing.

At this time, Ma Chao has already occupied a small county town, Yusun County, which is very close to Chang'an!

And the reason why he is like this is not because he does not know how to carry out surprise attacks, but because he was forced to this place step by step...

At this time, Ma Chao, who was on the city wall, looked at the enemy troops below. Flags were raised among the enemy troops that surrounded them.

"Bingzhou Governor, Liang"

"Hedong Governor, Du"

"Sili Xiaowei, Zhong"

"General Hengjiang Zhonglang, Xu"

"The brave cavalry officer, Yang"

"Qi Duwei, Wen"

"Qi Duwei, Bao"

"General Pinglu, Liu"

.......

Just these flags represent all the soldiers and generals in Guanzhong, Hedong, Hanoi, Hongnong and even Yingchuan.

In addition, there are people such as Jia Kui, Cao Xiu and others on the periphery who are watching eagerly.

When Ma Chao got the news from Zhuge Liang and asked him to lead troops to attack Jingzhao in order to paralyze Xia Houyuan, Ma Chao completely forgot the word "sheep attack".

He directly planned to cause a scene in Jingzhao County. Even if there was an ambush, with his ability, he would definitely be able to break out of the siege and play tricks on Zhong Yao.

To slightly relieve the sorrow and frustration in your heart.

But even in his wildest dreams, Ma Chao never imagined that he only had a few thousand troops. As for letting Jingzhao directly dispatch nearly 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress them?

There is almost no room for him to stand in such a huge city.

Although many of these 50,000 people are soldiers and horses guarding the city or even deployed in the field, they are also old soldiers who have been fighting for many years.

It's just that Bafu feels that they are not the most ferocious soldiers.

When the miscellaneous Hu cavalry from Bingzhou, the Huns cavalry from the north, Du Ji and Liu Xun from Hedong and Hanoi, as well as Wen Ji, Yang Ke, Xu Yun and others led by Sili Colonel Zhong Yao appeared in front of him.

Even the weather-beaten Ma Mengqi felt a sense of absurdity.

An enemy force ten times larger than ours encircled and ambushed us in the wild...

No, it can't be said to be an ambush. There is no one here who is not a veteran in the army. He was surrounded layer by layer until he couldn't even tell his direction.

The Qiang and Hu under his command suffered heavy losses, and countless people surrendered and fled. If it hadn't been for Pang De, who had always been very attentive to Zhuge Liang's reminders, he would have fought tooth and nail to capture this county.

I'm afraid Ma Chao has already been laid to rest now.

But as a price, the wounded Pang De was still lying in a temporary mansion in the city. Although he barely saved his life, there was probably no hope of going to the battlefield again for a short time.

"Is this a certain family's natural responsibility? Is it so excessive?"

Looking at the enemies who surrounded him and were about to attack, Ma Chao couldn't help but cursed angrily.

At the same time, he looked in the direction of Fufeng County. Although he was very reluctant, he just hoped that Mr. Zhuge could understand his current suffering.

Hurry up and bring people to rescue them...

Ma Chao was yelling angrily, and Zhong Yao in the camp outside the city also had a bad look on his face.

"I wanted to use this incident to make money for Zhuge Kongming, but I never thought that Ma Mengqi, a reckless man, would ruin this important matter for me.

If it weren't for him running around and being unscrupulous, I really wouldn't want to deal with this kind of people.

Since he ruined our plan today, he will use his head to comfort us.

Send the order and attack the city!"

Under Zhong Yao's angry shout, the army rushed towards Yusun County where Ma Chao was stationed in an orderly manner.

Countless siege equipment also came on stage. In a short period of time, the army actually built dozens of wells and rams.

It proves how well prepared they are.

It's a pity that such sufficient preparations can only be used on this fierce horse.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the cries of killing, Ma Chao led his soldiers to resist desperately, but the cavalry was not good at defending the city.

Now they are trapped in an isolated city, and they have been encircled and defeated. The morale of their subordinates is extremely low.

Even with a brave man like Ma Chao, it is difficult to reverse the situation.

Under the desperate fighting of Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Lei Tong and other powerful generals, the victory of Yusun County was barely preserved.

But as time goes by, this stalemate becomes more and more difficult...

In three days, except for those who died or fled in battle at the beginning, all the Qiang and Hu cavalry under Ma Chao were almost completely dead or injured.

And now there are only more than a thousand of Ma Chao's former veterans left.

Not only that, but the most terrible thing is that the food and grass in this county have been exhausted, and the luggage is completely insufficient.

If they continue, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive even half a day.

Looking at the enemy troops that were still charging towards him, Ma Chao was completely disappointed.

He still remembers Zhuge Liang's endless instructions to him before he left.

"Zhong Yao is so cunning that you, Meng Qi, cannot defeat him.

You must be careful when going to Chang'an, don't go deep, and evacuate immediately if something goes wrong!"

Because of these words, I was depressed for a long time. I felt that Zhuge Liang definitely underestimated himself, a hero of Yongliang.

Who knows....

"If I had known this, why would I have to compete in the first place!"

As Ma Mengqi sighed, an enemy soldier was beheaded by him again. At the same time, he kicked the corpse off the city wall, knocking down several people together.

Looking at his subordinates who have become increasingly scarce, he then looks at his cousin Ma Dai, general Lei Tong and others who are also covered in scars.

Ma Chao could only roar again with a hoarse voice.

"All officers and soldiers, fight to the death today and die well!"

The sparse responses made Ma Chao's hope even slimmer. The physically and mentally exhausted battle had brought them to the extreme.

Just when Ma Chao was about to give up, the enemy forces outside the city finally changed.

A large flag with the word "Zhuge" appeared in the enemy's rear, and a large army broke into the enemy's army as if cutting through obstacles.

The rapid speed of the advance not only stunned Ma Chao and others, but even Zhong Yao, who was sitting behind Cao Jun, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"They are about to break into the city? What do the soldiers in the rear army do for food?

If you weren't fully prepared, why did you let them rush in so easily?"

Zhong Yao's roar vented his dissatisfaction. In order to completely kill Ma Chao, he specially deployed veteran generals Wen Ji and Liu Xun in the rear army.

Not only that, he even had people set up an ambush.

Don't let it be said that Zhuge Kongming is here today. Even if Liu Xuande personally leads the army and rushes to kill him, he will still have to peel off a layer of his skin.

He could never figure out how Zhuge Liang caused his army to break up and make way for him.

And just when Zhong Yao was scolding, Huang Zhong had already rushed to the city of Yusu County with Xia Houyuan's head held high.

"Xiahou Yuan is dead, Cao Mengde is dead, Duke Xuande's army has arrived, but you still haven't surrendered!"
