The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Once Ma Yue's proposal is accepted by the generals in Xiliang, it will be of great help to the Xiliang army. .The help to the Xiliang army this time comes from two aspects, one is to boost the morale of the army.Originally, because of Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army was a little difficult to adapt from top to bottom, and even the enemy didn't know how to deal with it at the moment, but now, since those generals have a certain idea, they will naturally try their best Come to make the sergeant under his command regain the morale of fighting the enemy.

The second is to allow the Xiliang Army to be more proactive.In fact, the Xiliang army has always defended the weak and attacked the strong. If they hadn't been motivated in this way, they would have just been trapped in Chang'an City, and they would have lost [-]% of this battle before they fought.But now, because all the generals have the heart to compete, they will take the initiative to attack, making this battle even more unpredictable.

Of course, what will happen to the outcome of this battle will not be seen until the armies of both sides work hard.At this time, the Kwantung Allied Forces had already arrived at the foot of Chang'an City. Under Yuan Shao's order, various people and horses had already set up a stance to attack the city. They would attack immediately after the army rested and recovered.

At the head of Chang'an city, when the Xiliang generals looked at the company camps less than ten miles away from the city, their eyes showed murderous aura.However, they were not in a hurry to order their men and horses to fight out, because they felt that it was not the time yet, and they had to stay until dark, and wait until the newly arrived enemies began to rest before attacking.

With the same heart, all the generals went back to the camp and prepared to go after looking at each other.Only Ma Yue didn't make any movement at this time, which made some people who paid close attention to their actions feel puzzled. Could it be that he, who advocated fighting to elect a new leader, is not interested in this?

No matter how Ma Yue reacted, the various units of the Xiliang Army were ready to attack anyway, and they had no choice but to attack.After dusk, the sergeants from all walks of life were given a good battle meal. After eating, they were quietly moved to the city gate by their respective generals.

After orders were issued, the gates of Chang'an City, which had been closed tightly and seemed to be impossible to open voluntarily, suddenly opened wide, and tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry rushed out of the gates, heading outside. The dark Kwantung Allied Army battalion culled and killed them.The horse's hooves kept pounding on the ground, causing the whole ground to tremble.

At this time, in the Kwantung Allied Army barracks, Cao Cao, who was on the left wing, was walking back and forth uneasy.Before, he had mentioned to Yuan Shao that he had to beware of the Xiliang Army's night attack, killing them was not a solid footing, but Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously.

"Now the Xiliang Army has no leader. They just compete with each other for the control of the entire army. How can anyone lead troops into battle? The only thing they can do now is to defend the city. That's why they can't work together. Humans can do it. So, Meng De, your worries are too much." Yuan Shao's response at that time was so straightforward.

But Cao Cao was still not optimistic about this. When the two armies fought, they had to think about defeat before victory. If they didn't even guard against this point, how could they win a fundamental victory?But after all, he has no right to give orders to other people from all walks of life to beware of night attacks. The only thing he can do is to make his subordinates be as careful as possible.

Seeing Cao Cao walking uneasily, Cao Hong and the others couldn't help persuading them: "Meng De, you are worrying too much? Today's Xiliang Army is not what they were a few months ago, and we are now on the offensive side. , what they should focus on now is how to defend Chang'an, how could they attack us at night?"

"There are no absolutes in the world... Before we have completed the encirclement of Chang'an, no matter how careful we are, it is not too much." Cao Cao said worriedly: "Besides, everyone, don't forget that Xiliang people are best at attacking .Although they have no leader now, it does not mean that they will give up what they are good at and stick to it instead."

Just as they said this, there was a faint shout of killing coming from a distance, and then they felt the ground tremors under their feet.Immediately, the expressions of everyone in the camp changed, and Cao Hong and the others looked at Cao Cao with amazed and respectful eyes: "Is it really as you expected?"

Cao Cao's heart tightened at this time, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up, order everyone to prepare for the battle! Unexpectedly, the Xiliang Army actually attacked on the night we arrived!" Although he persuaded Yuan Shao and reminded the generals so much Yes, but in his heart, he also felt that the possibility of this happening was not too great. After all, as far as he knew, the internal problems in the Xiliang Army were still quite serious, and it might not be true that someone would come out.

But the facts told Cao Cao that there are really some things in this world that are uncertain, and sometimes it is not wrong to make preparations in advance.

Here at Cao Cao's barracks, because they had been prepared for a long time, after the generals' orders, everyone immediately formed a team to meet the enemy.But the situation of the other battalions is completely different, especially Zhang Miao's army at the forefront. Their troops have already returned to the camp to sleep at this time, except for a few night watchmen who pretended to be fighting at the gate of the camp. Except for dozing off, the entire camp was almost undefended.

But at this moment, with a burst of shouting and killing, thousands of Xiliang cavalry howled and rushed in front of them in a blink of an eye, breaking through the sparse horses in front of the camp like a storm, and then they drove straight in and slashed up.

As soon as the sergeants of Zhang Miao's department fell asleep, they were awakened by the sound of killing, and immediately found that the enemy had broken into the camp.They frantically tried to resist with weapons, but it was too late.One by one, the Xiliang cavalry who rushed into the barracks on horseback broke through their tents like killing gods, and hacked and killed the bewildered soldiers one by one.

In just a few breaths, Zhang Miao's troops, the front line of defense of the Kwantung Allied Forces, completely collapsed, and everyone fled to the sides and behind in a panic.After being attacked and unable to resist, the first reaction of these sergeants was to run away, but in this way, they became the accomplices of the Xiliang Army instead.

After hearing the shout of killing in front, the other groups of people also hurriedly got up and prepared to meet the enemy.Although these troops were not prepared, they still had tens of thousands of troops. No matter how fast and sharp the Xiliang army's raid was, it would be impossible to completely disrupt the camp of tens of thousands of troops in one go.So as long as they are given a little time, the next few battalions will be able to form a formation against the enemy, and then they will be able to resist the first wave of attacks.

But they didn't expect that after the chaos in the barracks ahead, many companions would turn around and run over.Seeing that Tongjun Paoze was coming, the soldiers of the Kwantung Allied Army obviously hesitated.But their hesitation hurt themselves, and the defensive formation they had set up with great difficulty was immediately smashed by Zhang Miao's troops who were running for their lives in a hurry.

And then, the Xiliang cavalry also came with the momentum to defeat Zhang Miao's troops.Because their own line of defense had been disrupted, the soldiers of the Kwantung United Army panicked. After resisting hastily for a while and losing some troops, they had to retreat again.

Just like dominoes, with the collapse of the first camp, the unprepared battalions of the Kwantung Allied Army were killed one by one by the Xiliang cavalry who made a sudden surprise attack. Only by retreating in the rear can these sergeants temporarily save their lives.

But the price they paid for saving their lives was that more barracks were completely disrupted by their flustered actions, thus making the entire barracks messy.However, the chaos of the enemy army boosted the morale of the Xiliang army. Not only were the cavalry at the forefront still rushing forward desperately, but even the infantry behind them were unwilling to be outdone. The Kwantung Allied Forces had almost no ability to resist.

At this time, Yuan Shao of the Central Army of the Kwantung Allied Army really regretted it.If he had listened to Cao Cao's advice, and had not underestimated the enemy like this, and deployed troops in front to prevent sneak attacks, how could he have come to this point.Seeing that the troops from all walks of life are now in a mess, and it is even more difficult to pack up the troops and fight the enemy in the dark, in desperation, he had no choice but to issue the military order to retreat: "Retreat first, and pull back with the Xiliang army." Keep the distance, and plan later!"

"Not at the beginning!" Just as Yuan Shao was about to issue the military order, Cao Cao hurried over.When the Xiliang army raided the front army, he had ordered his troops to stand firm in the camp. Regardless of whether it was the enemy army or his own army that had retreated from the front, he ordered them to shoot them back with bows and crossbows. The [-]st Battalion finally stabilized its position.

However, Cao Cao did not relax because of this, but hurriedly brought people to Yuan Shao's place to discuss with him how to meet the enemy.He didn't want to hear Yuan Shao's military order just before he arrived at Yuan Shao's big tent, so he didn't care too much at this time, so he stopped it and explained: "At first, this would not allow our army to find a way to defeat the enemy. , On the contrary, it will put us in a more unfavorable situation."

"How do you say that?" Yuan Shao asked anxiously, not caring whether Cao Cao's words were inappropriate.

"There are many cavalry in the Xiliang army. Even if we widen the distance, we can't get rid of them at all. On the contrary, we can let them fully display their advantages. Moreover, the morale of our army is now in chaos. Once the order to retreat is given, It is likely to cause a rout, and it will be too late to regret it!" Cao Cao quickly explained.

"This..." Yuan Shao thought about it carefully, and felt that his words made sense.This is because he was too anxious, and for a moment he forgot that the enemy he was facing was the Xiliang Army, which was mainly cavalry.After blushing, he couldn't help but said: "Then Meng De, what can you do? If you don't have a way to deal with them, I'm afraid we are not far from being defeated."

"Pick up the troops from the rear battalion to fight head-on with the Xiliang army. As long as we survive this night, we still have a chance to win this battle!" Cao Cao immediately gave his suggestion.
