"Hey. I underestimated Zhao Zilong. If I had listened to your advice, rushed to Yongshou, and combined the forces of the two armies, the Xiliang army would have conquered half of the cities and counties in Xinping!"

After all, Ma Chao suppressed his anger, and after a series of facial expressions changed, he even sighed and blamed himself.

"Brother, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Xinping has a maximum of [-] troops, and Zhao Zilong is the only one who is good at fighting. Zhao Zilong is guarding Sanshui, so the pressure on father's army to attack Yongshou is far greater than that of Sanshui. Here. And besides father is Pang Lingming, a powerful general. Yongshou may have been captured by father at this time! I will rush there at this time, join up with father's army in time, and take Yilu again in a few days.

Furthermore, after that, the Xiliang army will come to besiege and kill Sanshui again. At that time, the army will have no worries about soldiers and food, and the elder brother and Pang Lingming will join forces. Even if Zhao Zilong has great abilities, how can he be able to stop two peerless heroes!Here, there is no doubt that Sanshui will be broken.I also hope that my brother will act decisively and decide to withdraw the army as soon as possible! "

Ma Xiu first comforted Ma Chao, and then analyzed with him. Ma Chao's tense face relaxed as he listened.Ma Chao said with a certain expression, nodding his head.

"Second brother's words are right. Pass down the order and order all the troops to pack up and retreat at midnight tonight!"

"The last general is waiting for orders!"

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were overjoyed, and immediately received the order to retreat, and the two walked out of the account, making notifications and arrangements, without any problems.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon night fell.A team of Wenjun scouts was secretly surveying outside the Ma Jun camp. One of the scouts saw that the Ma Jun was moving a lot and seemed to want to withdraw, so he asked the general if he wanted to go back to the city and report to him.The scout captain laughed and said that the scout was nervous and didn't pay attention.

As the hour by hour passed, the night became darker and darker, and there was only one watch at night.A series of noisy sounds suddenly sounded from the horse army camp. Among the noisy sounds, there were footsteps, the sound of weapons shaking, and the sound of waving flags, etc.

"Not good! The Xiliang army really wants to retreat!"

The scout general of the Wen army changed his face on the spot and exclaimed.

"Ah! General Zhao arranged for the soldiers and horses in the city to attack at the third watch. If he leads the army to come, he finds that the horse army camp has been deserted. Once blamed, everyone like you and me will be beheaded!"

A scout looked horrified, and then said again.

"This has nothing to do with me. I told the general earlier that the Xiliang army is showing signs of withdrawing. It's just that the general turned a deaf ear to it."

First, the scout who first discovered the vision of Ma Jun hurriedly got rid of it.The scout general gave a cold look. He was originally a bandit, but later he heard that he served as a soldier under Wen Han's command.However, as the old saying goes, it is easy to change the nature of a country, but it is difficult to change its nature.The scout general, seeing that he had committed a serious crime and might be beheaded, suddenly became thieves again, and suddenly had a seizure, he pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and slashed at the scout.As soon as the blade passed, the scout's head flew up, and warm blood splashed on the faces of the surrounding scouts.

The scout general suddenly slapped his hands to death, which frightened all the scouts in his team, and their faces changed drastically.

"This life of my father is very precious. I will not do this thief officer and soldier! Whoever wants to survive and live happily will fall into the grass with me. I guarantee that you will follow me, and you will eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the future, what? I will take you to taste all kinds of women!"

The scout general shouted with a cold face.This scout general has a bit of force, and the scouts in the team are usually afraid of him, but this deserter is a serious crime, if he is caught, he will definitely die.None of the scouts in the team dared to speak, the scout general saw it, snorted coldly, turned his horse's head around and walked away.

"Hmph, twisted melons are not sweet, and I will not force you to wait. You have committed a serious crime, and with the character of General Zhao, you will be punished severely! It is up to you to decide whether to live or die. I will go!"

The scout general slapped the horse, and then rushed away.After a few scouts watched for a while, they followed suit, or because their lives were threatened, the entire scout team left with the scout general and became deserters.

The horse army had already begun to retreat, but Zhao Yun in Sanshui still didn't know about it. At three o'clock, Zhao Yun hurriedly led his troops to the horse camp. The ghosts of the soldiers of the army disappeared, and their expressions changed drastically. They immediately ordered the soldiers to find the scout general who was in charge of investigating the horse camp tonight to question them.Unexpectedly, the soldiers told them that the scout team hadn't returned to the city since they left the city at night, and the army had set off just now, and they didn't come to report.

"Bastard!!! Incompetent people ruin my overall situation!!!"

Zhao Yun immediately guessed a lot when he heard it, the scout general must have been negligent and fled in fear of crime.Although Zhao Yun was very angry, he didn't care about it any more, and quickly ordered the soldiers to chase after him.

In other words, Ma Chao led the retreat, and the army rushed to the outside of Luomapo.Suddenly, Ma Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he called a soldier from Xinping and asked where he was.The Xinping soldier told Ma Chao that this place is Luomapo, which is twenty miles away from the Sanshui River. The terrain here is bumpy, and there are hills and slopes everywhere.

When Ma Chao heard the name of Luo Ma Po, he frowned immediately. His surname was Ma, but the name here was Luo Ma Po.This name is extremely ominous, Ma Chao thought for a while, and suddenly sent a team of scouts to investigate.

"Brother, the army is retreating, why did it suddenly stop?"

Matthew was in command of the rear army, and when he saw the army in front suddenly stop, he hurried over to check the situation.Ma Chao answered with a calm face.

"The name of this place is Luomapo. I think the name is ominous. I suspect there is an ambush, so I ordered the scouts to investigate first."

"Hahaha. Brother is really worried. This Zhao Zilong doesn't know about our withdrawal, how can he!!!"

While Ma Xiu was laughing, there was a sound of shouting and killing, and in the dark night, countless figures were faintly seen rushing out from Luomapo. Most of the scouts sent by Ma Chao were killed or injured, and only a few scouts rushed back desperately.

"Ambush, there is an ambush!!! Uh!!!"

One of the horse army scouts opened his mouth and shouted, suddenly a series of arrows piercing the void sounded, and those horse army scouts were shot off their horses one after another!

"There really is an ambush!!!"

Matthew turned pale with fright on the spot, and cried out.Ma Chao ignored him and hurriedly ordered the army to flee around the road.Luo Mapo's Fu army chased them all the way, but they were far away from Ma Chao's Xiliang army, and their strength was only more than [-] people, so they had to give up hunting.Let the Xiliang army flee.

The reason why Ma Chao escaped was all because the scout general had neglected his duties. If the scout general had reported to Zhao Yun earlier, Zhao Yun would have led his troops to attack Ma Jun's camp.The Xiliang army will inevitably flee in chaos. At that time, the soldiers of the Xiliang army will only be concerned about running for their lives, so they will send scouts to investigate first. Zhao Yun's pursuers rushed forward and attacked back and forth. Perhaps even though Ma Chao has extraordinary martial arts skills, he would also feel resentment for this.

However, the layout for tonight was carefully planned by Xi Long, so how could there be only one ambush.Xilong acted cautiously, once he made the layout, he would definitely make a series of killer moves, just like the layout of the Northland, Han Sui was ambushed repeatedly, and in the end his soldiers and horses were almost exhausted, and he was powerless to recover!

However, everything can be predicted as much as possible, Xi Long cautiously believes that there may be a 3000% to [-]% chance that the enemy generals who will attack Sanshui will be able to escape in Luomapo.Therefore, he was on the only way to exit the border of Sanshui, and set up an ambush in Heihuolin.Xilong thought at the time that even if the enemy general escaped from Luomapo, there would never be more than [-] remaining soldiers around him, and they were all remnants and defeated generals. There is no reason to live!

It is said that Ma Chao led the army to flee for a while, but when he saw that the pursuers did not come, he stopped the soldiers and regrouped.

"Brother is really good at predicting things, if you are not cautious, I am afraid that the army will suffer heavy losses at this time!"

Matthew panted for a while, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, he sighed and praised with a bit of admiration.However, Ma Chao still had a cold face. The wave of volts just now made him break out in a cold sweat, and he really couldn't understand why Zhao Yun was able to predict in advance that he would retreat tonight.

It would take at least a day for the ambush army in Luomapo to prepare for it. Even if there was a lot of movement in the camp tonight, Zhao Yun would not have enough time to arrange the ambush army if he was scouted by Wen Jun's scouts!

Ma Chao was puzzled, how could he have expected that Han Sui and Ma Teng jointly attacked Beidi and Xinping, because Wen Han lured them into it.

However, Xilong was extremely intelligent, and arranged for Zhao Yun to lay an ambush in Langya Valley, and first seize the enemy's food and supplies to Sanshui. The enemy's food and grass were short, and Sanshui was guarded by Zhao Zilong. turmoil.Therefore, Zhao Yun was ordered to watch the right time, sneak attack on his camp, and force him to withdraw his troops and flee.Then lay two ambushes in Luomapo and Heihuolin, so that the enemy troops attacking Sanshui will be wiped out!

This timing can be described as a coincidence, Zhao Yun saw that the morale of Ma Chao's army was low, and the two ambush troops had just completed their ambush, so he wanted to take advantage of this night to sneak attack on Ma Jun's camp.Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Ma Chao decided to withdraw his troops.

The coincidence of all these factors can only be lamented that the battlefield is changing so fast that it is really unpredictable.

Ma Chao's heart was beating wildly, and he suddenly felt that the land of Sanshui was full of strange murderous intentions. After the army was assembled, he led all the troops to retreat quickly.Ma Chao led the army to fly away, and when he was about to reach the Black Fire Forest, Ma Chao suddenly reined in the horse again. At this time, a strange wind blew by, and the black fire forest blew gusts, and the leaves in the dense forest swayed. Rendered, it looks like black flames.It is precisely because of this that the Black Fire Forest got its name.

Ma Chao squinted the lion's eyes, and suddenly felt a thrilling feeling, perhaps because the wave of ambushes just now made him nervous.
