I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 39 Ma Chao vs. Gao Shun

Chapter 39 Ma Chao and Gao Shun

The bell sounded,
The Xiliang soldiers in the flames fled in all directions.

Even if there is no signal to withdraw their troops, they will flee, not to mention that they are still calling for gold.

Xiliang soldiers with flames on their bodies ran out of the blazing Huaili city, howled, and ran towards Ma Chao's army formation in all directions without thinking.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao's face was as gloomy as water,
Looking at those fleeing Xiliang soldiers, he knew he couldn't blame them, but he was just angry!
suddenly,

A trumpet sounded,
Then,

From both sides of Huaili City, thousands of cavalry were killed!

Thousands of cavalry roared forward, firing arrows continuously.

In the blink of an eye, a dense rain of arrows formed above the Xiliang army!

Ma Chao's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Raise your shield!"

Xiliang soldiers quickly raised their shields to resist,
next moment,
Arrows rain down!

Dense arrow rain round after round,
directly covered the front part of the Xiliang Army,

Let the Xiliang Army Headquarters, which was already retreating, turn from a retreat to a rout!
Ma Chao looked at the panicked soldiers around him,
Couldn't help but angrily said: "Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess!"

But the golden bell has sounded,

All Xiliang soldiers are retreating,

As soon as the rain of arrows fell,

The retreat turned into a rout,
More than 2 Xiliang soldiers just buried their heads and fled.

What else can I take care of?
Ma Chao watched helplessly as his army collapsed, but there was nothing he could do!
Full of anger, he aimed at the two cavalrymen who came out,

But before he rushed over,

The two cavalrymen retreated, not giving him a chance to charge at all, and what made Ma Chao angry was that his seven orifices were almost full of smoke!

"Damn Gao Shun! I will definitely break into Huaili, take your head, and tear your corpse to pieces!"

"Major General, retreat quickly! The most important thing is to gather troops and horses!" Pound hurriedly persuaded Ma Chao.

Ma Chao also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he could only swallow his breath and back away.

This road was withdrawn to fifty miles outside Huaili City,

Ma Chao and his remnants set up camp,

Gather up the remnants again.

The last Xiliang soldiers who returned to the camp were only in their early [-]s!
This made Ma Chao so angry that he almost vomited blood!

With an army of thirty thousand,

The enemy hasn't come across yet,

Just lost nearly ten thousand!

How can he endure this?
In fact, there are still many Xiliang soldiers who have lost their way. After all, they fled and Gao Shun didn't send anyone to chase them.

In the end, there should be 5000 people who can return to Daying, but there are still nearly 5000 people who cannot return.

Some of them were burned to death under Huaili City,
Some of the chased cavalry were shot with arrows,

And some were captured,
After all, a lot of people were lost, which cast a cloud over Ma Chao's expedition.

And fifty miles outside Wugong City,
The candidate set up camp early, and then stuck to the camp.

"General, aren't we going to attack the city?" the lieutenant asked.

The candidate leaned on the brocade mat and said with a smile: "Siege? What city?"

"The imperial court didn't give any money, and didn't give out a grain of food. If you don't give anything and want your brothers to work for them, how can there be such a good thing!"

"What's more, if you take down the city, it's not ours, it's the imperial court's. What do we gain? Do you hurt the brothers?"

"So, about the siege, let Ma Meng get up and let's stay here comfortably."

"Let the brothers eat and drink well. When Ma Mengqi is almost done fighting, we will wait for the opportunity."

Hearing the candidate's words, the deputy general couldn't help saying: "The general's wisdom is unparalleled, and the last general admires it!"

The candidate said proudly: "That's why, my lord let me lead the army."

Just talking,
A small school rushed in from outside the tent:
"Report! Report to the general! Ma Chaojun attacked Huaili and was defeated by Gao Shun, losing nearly 5000 people!"

Hearing this news, the candidate was even more proud: "Look, what did I say? Let Ma Meng get up on such a thankless task!"

"By the way, how did Gao Shun do it? Ma Mengqi also had 3 horses, yet he lost nearly [-] in one battle?"

The Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "According to the informant, Gao Shun first dropped kerosene when Ma Chao was attacking the city, and then all arrows fired, igniting the kerosene, and the burning Ma Chao had to retreat."

"When Ma Chao was retreating, another cavalry came out, and Ma Chao was defeated in the end, and he fled in embarrassment."

When the candidate heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "This Ma Chao dares to call himself a famous general? That's it?"

The lieutenant asked, "Who leads the cavalry? What is the banner?"

"Yes, with a big banner with the word Lu on it!" said the little principal.

"Lv character big flag? It turns out that Lu Bu came personally, no wonder Ma Chao will lose." The candidate said thoughtfully.

If Gao Shun defeated Ma Chao, the candidates would definitely laugh at Ma Chao for not being able to beat an unknown soldier.

But Lu Bu went there in person, so it's no surprise that Ma Chao lost.

After all, under the shadow of a famous tree, how majestic Lu Bu is, everyone in Xiliang is also known as the number one fierce man in the world. It is no surprise that Ma Chao Bubai came close to such a person.

Knowing that it was Lu Bu who had arrived in Huaili,
The candidate is more relaxed: "Ma Mengqi must not be convinced after losing this round. According to his temperament, he will definitely fight Lu Bu desperately! Let them fight, we will continue to stay here."

"No!" The lieutenant general also said happily.

Others are going to work hard, and they are watching a play. This kind of good thing must be happy.

night falls,

The candidate camp outside Wugong City was brightly lit.

The camp where [-] Xiliang troops were stationed was not small, and the sentries and spies were well arranged everywhere.

The candidate is a delicate person, he is smart and knows what Han Sui is thinking, otherwise Han Sui would not let him lead the army.

But ten miles away from the candidate camp,
Two cavalry had already moved to this place, surrounding the candidate camp.

in the dark night,

Thousands of cavalry led their horses and marched silently in a line.

The war horse has already brought a bit to prevent the war horse from making a sound,
The cavalrymen bit the sticks one after another, staring at the brightly lit candidate camp ahead with their eyes like fire.

Finally, the cavalry arrived five miles away from the candidate camp, and then entered the grove to rest.

Eat hard jerky, drink cold water,

But the hearts of the cavalry are extremely hot, tonight, they will follow their generals and surprise that camp!

Tread, step, step.

There was a crisp sound of hooves, and a tall and handsome horse came to the front. Although the person on the horse could not see clearly, he could still feel the confidence in him.

Lu Bu was also chewing the dry and hard jerky in his mouth, while calculating the time in his mind.

During the day, the soldiers had already slept,
It was for this night attack at night.

First, some cavalry attacked Ma Chao under their own banner to make the candidates relax their vigilance.
At the same time, more than ten thousand fine riders outflanked the candidate camp, attacking from both sides.

Lu Bu will lose half of the [-] Xiliang soldiers overnight!
In the silent night,

Except for the sound of insects, even the sound of the wind is rare,
Estimate the time,
Lu Bu said in a deep voice:

"All troops, raise the torches!"

As Lu Bu's order was passed on, the torches in the forest were lit one after another, illuminating the forest.

The cavalry looked frantically at the tall figure at the front,
Just listen to Lu Bu waving Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand:

"Army attack!"
