"General Cao! Prepare to withdraw!" Outside the city, when he saw Ma Chao being surrounded by several enemy generals from a distance, Xun You sighed and said to Cao Ren next to him: "Even if General Ma is as good as **
No matter how fierce it is, it is impossible to repel the siege of the Western Qin generals in a short period of time! Now that the situation is over, ordering an early withdrawal can also reduce losses!"
Cao Ren was a little hesitant and said, "But Ma Chao is still at the top of the city, so we can't leave him alone, right?" Although Cao Ren and Ma Chao disliked each other, Cao Ren could not deny the fact that Ma Chao was the most powerful general in Cao Wei's army.
If Ma Chao was lost in this battle, it would be a huge loss for Cao Wei, and he would not be able to explain to Cao Cao in the future.
Xun You also guessed Cao Ren's worries, and hurriedly said: "General Cao! If you don't retreat now, the army will be defeated! Not only will it be impossible to complete the mission assigned by the lord, but it will also be possible that the 20,000 soldiers and horses that the lord finally mobilized will be destroyed.
Pay compensation! Then General Cao will be even more unable to explain to the Lord! Please make a decision immediately, General Cao!"
Xun You's words awakened Cao Ren, and then he remembered that his mission this time was related to Cao Wei's last chance! Cao Wei couldn't afford to lose this battle! Thinking of this, Cao Ren finally made up his mind and turned his head.
, shouted to the herald behind him: "Send the order, all troops withdraw!"
After receiving the military order, the herald held a fist in front of Cao Ren and saluted, then turned and walked back, preparing to issue Cao Ren's military order. At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded from the front of the formation: "General! General!"
Hearing this sound, Cao Ren immediately raised his hand, waved towards the herald, and shouted: "Wait a minute!" After saying that, Cao Ren turned his head and looked in front of the sound, and saw a horse riding fast.
The people were rushing towards this side, but it was Li Dian who was sent by Cao Ren to command the siege!
Seeing Li Dian running over, Cao Ren's heart couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that the army in front had been completely defeated? Cao Ren quickly looked at the battlefield in front of him carefully, but his brows couldn't help but wrinkled. On the battlefield,
Not only was Cao Wei's army not defeated, but the battle became more fierce and they even attacked the city! This scene shocked both Cao Ren and Xun You. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
,Did Ma Chao really succeed?
Li Dian rushed to Cao Ren on horseback and shouted to Cao Ren with a joyful face: "General Cao! Hurry up and order the entire army to attack! General Ma has succeeded! The enemy generals on the top of the city have been repulsed by him! Capture is over!"
It's only a matter of time before we reach the city!"
"Ah?" After Li Dian said this, the expressions on Cao Ren and Xun You's faces were so weird and weird. They had just determined that Ma Chao would definitely fail, but they didn't expect that he would suddenly succeed! Now it's not just Cao Ren.
, even Xun You's old face couldn't bear it, and both of them smiled awkwardly, but they were speechless. Their silence made Li Dian anxious, and Li Dian immediately shouted:
Said: "General Cao! We can no longer hesitate! This opportunity cannot be missed!"
"Ah? Oh! Oh!" Only then did Cao Ren realize that there was still a battle ahead! Cao Ren hadn't behaved like this for a long time, and he nodded quickly and said: "Yes! Yes! Someone is here! Send the order! The whole army attacks!"
Take Nanton City in one go!" Although Cao Ren had ordered the entire army to attack before, as the commander-in-chief, he did not attack, so he still left five or six thousand men behind the army. Now that Cao Ren shouted this, he himself also
Following the horse forward, the last five or six thousand people who stayed behind followed closely behind Cao Ren and launched an assault towards Nanton City!
The already crumbling defenses of Nanton City finally collapsed under the impact of Cao Wei's army led by Cao Ren. Lü Meng led the remaining hundreds of soldiers and retreated from the top of the city. He turned to look at the top of the city.
The banner of Cao Wei was raised, and Lu Meng had a helpless smile on his face. However, he did not regret his decision just now. If he had not ordered the entire army to stop Ma Chao, Ma Chao would have attacked fiercely. With Lu Meng and Zhang Hu alone, it would have been absolutely impossible.
There is no way to stop Ma Chao! If Luo Zheng dies in Ma Chao's hands, things will be a big deal! As long as Luo Zheng can be rescued, let alone Nanton City, it will be worth losing the entire Yuzhou.
of!
Fortunately, when Zhang Hu took Luo Zheng to escape from the city, he also took away Liu Zhe, Mo Shi and the three hundred Momen disciples who were waiting at the city gate. As for the twenty units, there were no short arrows.
The arrow chariot equipped with it was all destroyed before Lu Meng escaped, so there was no need to worry that it would fall into the hands of Cao Wei! While the enemy was still busy occupying the city, Lu Meng immediately rushed to the city guard's mansion and joined Zhang Hu and others.
Heading directly towards the South City Gate, Nanton City has been captured. The current task is to protect Luo Zheng, Liu Zhe and others from escaping!
At the head of the north city, Ma Chao had already wiped out all the Western Qin troops remaining on the city head. Looking coldly at the Cao Wei army that had poured into Nanton City through the city gate, Ma Chao turned his head and shouted: "Bring me the people!"
Behind Ma Chao, I saw several Cao Wei soldiers holding Xu Huang, who was seriously injured. Xu Huang still wanted to struggle, but the wound on his chest was so tight that he couldn't even move. Ma Chao snorted coldly,
Pointing a tiger-headed gun at Xu Huang, he shouted: "If you hadn't blocked me from both sides, how could you have let that brat Luo Zheng escape? Today I will kill your lackey first, and then go after Luo Zheng! Humph!
I don't believe it anymore, he can still fly into the sky!" Although Luo Zheng had just escaped from the city, Ma Chao was not worried at all about letting Luo Zheng escape. Regarding his riding skills, Ma Chao was very good at it.
confident!
Xu Huang's face was stained with blood at the moment, but there was no sign of weakness on his face. He always stared with a pair of eyes full of hatred and shouted: "You traitor without a king and a father! Even if I die at your hands today, I will be transformed into a traitor in the future."
As a devil, I will never let you go! You will definitely not end well! I am waiting to see the day when you die!"
"Hmph!" Ma Chao was not frightened. In response to Xu Huang's threat, Ma Chao just snorted coldly and raised the tiger head gun in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent. In Ma Chao's eyes, this person
Helping Luo Zheng escape is the lackey of Western Qin and his enemy. He will not show mercy at all!
"Stop!" Just when Ma Chao's tiger-headed spear was about to fall, a voice suddenly rang out. Ma Chao turned around and saw that it was Cao Ren, Li Dian and Xun You who rushed to the top of the city under the protection of Cao Wei's soldiers.
, that voice just now was exactly what Cao Ren drank.
Although he had some conflicts with Cao Ren, in name, Cao Ren was also the commander of the army. Ma Chaozhou could not ignore his words. At that moment, he could only curl his lips, pointed the tiger's head in the direction of the gun, looked at Cao Ren who had already walked beside him, and said: "General Cao again
Any advice?”
When Ma Chao said this, his head was raised high. It was obviously because in the battle just now, Ma Chao turned the entire battle situation around with his own strength. With such a record, it is normal for Ma Chao to be proud. It's just that
Ma Chao's appearance in Cao Ren's eyes made Cao Ren feel very uncomfortable. However, Ma Chao was now a meritorious general. No matter how uncomfortable Cao Ren felt, he could not do anything to him except force him.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he shouted: "Who is this person? Why did General Ma kill prisoners in front of the battle without permission?"
In response to Cao Ren's questioning, Ma Chao showed no concern. He circled the tiger's head spear in front of his chest, slung it behind his back, and hummed: "This man is a general of the Western Qin Dynasty. It was his intervention that led to the defeat."
The son of Luo Yang escaped! I should kill him first, and then the son of Luo Yang! Since General Cao wants to save this guy's life, let it go to you! I will go after the son of Luo Yang!" After saying that, Ma Chao turned around and left.
Go away, not giving Cao Ren any face, and making Cao Ren so angry that his face turned pale!
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two people, Li Dian and Xun You were stunned. Xun You quickly persuaded Cao Ren: "General Cao! Since General Ma went to chase the enemy, the general might as well go to the city garrison and see where it is.
Are there any remnants of the Western Qin party? General Li! You can lead two thousand people to occupy the other three gates respectively!"
Xun You persuaded Cao Ren like this, and Cao Ren also knew that now was not the time to get angry with Ma Chao, so he nodded in a muffled voice, and didn't pay much attention to Xu Huang next to him. He turned around and followed him down the city. Xun You made a gesture to Li Dian.
, motioning him to carry out the task, while he himself looked at Xu Huang and said slowly: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Xu Huang's face is now a little pale. Although the wound on his chest is not deep, it has been bleeding. The bleeding is too much, and his physical strength is somewhat unbearable. However, Xu Huang still straightens his back.
, shouted with pride: "A man will not change his name in business, and he will not change his surname in office! Hedong Xu Huang is the same!"
"Xu Huang? Are you Xu Huang?" Hearing Xu Huang announce his name, Xun You's originally indifferent expression also showed a look of surprise. Although Xu Huang has always been anonymous in the inner courtyard of the palace over the years.
, protected Liu Zhe and Liu Xing, but Xu Huang's name was still very loud back then! Especially since the Xun family had always been in contact with Liu Xie on behalf of Cao Wei, Xun You was prepared to help Liu Xie escape from Chang'an, Xu Huang,
Of course I had heard of his name. Immediately Xun You narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Huang and said: "You said you are Xu Huang? Impossible? I once heard that Xu Huang from Hedong was a loyal man loyal to the Han Dynasty.
, how could you collude with Luo Yang, the traitor who harmed the Han Dynasty? You can't even think of pretending to be someone else and slandering Zhongliang's reputation!"
Xun You's words first made Xu Huang's old face turn red, but Xu Huang's face soon recovered, and he shouted with his head held high: "When did I collude with Luo Yang? In my opinion, you Cao Wei are just fighting.
They are just pretending to support the Han Dynasty, just pretending to be deceitful! In name, they are here to save the emperor! But in the end, they kill the emperor! How can you, who are devouring the Han Dynasty in vain, be worthy of the souls of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty in heaven!"
