Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1924 Death of Ma Teng and Han Sui

 Chapter 1922: Death of Ma Teng and Han Sui

 Huang Zhong is still the same Huang Zhong, as strong as ever. Even if Ma Chao breaks through, he is still no match.

Huang Zhong was well aware of Ma Chao's bravery, and it would take him a hundred rounds to defeat him, so after ten rounds of fighting, he deliberately showed his weakness and then faked defeat to lure Ma Chao to pursue him.

Ma Chao broke through before the battle and defeated Meng Yi and other three generals. It can be said that he was full of self-confidence, and how could he have thought so much.

Ma Chao, who was eager to win, directly rode his horse to chase Huang Zhong, but he was naturally beaten by bows and arrows.

 After learning that he had been caught in the trap, Ma Chao reacted very quickly, but no matter how fast his spear was, it could not outrun Huang Zhong's continuous arrows.

Ma Chao tried his best, but even though the arrow aimed at his vital point missed, another arrow from Huang Zhong pierced his right hand, and even his beloved Tiger-Headed Zhan Golden Spear was lost on the battlefield.

Ma Chao, whose right hand was severely injured, naturally could not be Huang Zhong's opponent. If Pang De, Ma Wu and Ma Cheng hadn't rescued each other, Ma Chao would have died under Huang Zhong's sword.

After Ma Chao escaped, Pang De, Ma Wu, and Ma Cheng joined forces to fight Huang Zhong again. Huang Zhong also cheered up and defeated the other three in a one-on-three fight.

However, before Huang Zhong could defeat the three generals, the 60,000 Liangzhou coalition forces were completely defeated. Pang De and the other three generals fled in panic, while Huang Zhong led the army in pursuit.

During the pursuit, General Gao Cheng of the Sui Army was shot dead by Huang Zhong, Gao Zhan and Gao Wei and his son were beheaded by Dian Wei and Xu Chu respectively, and Gao Yan was shot and killed by Meng Yi...

Zhao Yun spent too much energy in the battle with the three generals Shi Wansui, Wu Yunzhao, and Ma Yuan. He didn't have much energy left during the pursuit, so he failed to kill the generals and make meritorious deeds.

Meng Tian and Wang Meng pursued for a day and a night, chasing the Liangzhou coalition forces for nearly a hundred miles. The Liangzhou troops were completely defeated and fled in all directions, and then they stopped to repair.

 After counting, it was found that in this battle alone, the Qin army killed 10,000 enemies and captured 10,000 prisoners, while its own casualties were only 5,000. It can be said that it was a complete victory.

 In this single battle, the 60,000 Liangzhou Allied Forces were defeated miserably, with only more than 40,000 troops left. They were still in a state of fleeing, unable to form a strong resistance at all and posing a threat to the Qin Army.

After the defeat, the three families of Yang, Ma and Han tried their best to gather the defeated troops. They did not dare to stay in Hetao and fled towards Liangzhou.

At the same time, Meng Tian gathered his cavalry and led 30,000 cavalry in pursuit, and caught up with the Liang army one day later.

The Liangzhou Army, which had just gathered, was completely unable to withstand the impact of the Qin Army's cavalry. It could almost be described as collapse at the first touch.

Seeing this, the three families of Yang, Ma and Han all tacitly gave up their infantry and fled back to Liangzhou with only 20,000 cavalry.

Meng Tian effortlessly defeated the Liangzhou coalition again, killing 500 enemies, taking 20,000 prisoners, and inflicting 100 losses on himself.

Meng Tian ordered Meng Yi to lead an army of five thousand and **** 20,000 prisoners of war back to Hetao. He led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other generals, and led 15,000 cavalry to continue to pursue the Liangzhou coalition.

This time Meng Tian failed to catch up with the Liangzhou Allied Army. After all, after abandoning the infantry, only the cavalry remained. The marching speed of the Liangzhou Allied Army was no slower than that of the Qin Army.

Meng Tian pursued him all the way to the gate of Liangzhou but failed to catch up. The three armies of Yang, Ma and Han had already fled into Liangzhou and entered the city.

 All the cavalry of the Qin army have no ability to attack the city. Even if they had, Meng Tian would not be able to attack the city.

After a show of force, Meng Tian decisively ordered the withdrawal and led 25,000 cavalry back to Hetao. After all, if he did not leave, it would be difficult to leave when the three reinforcements arrived.

 As Meng Tian withdrew his troops from Liangzhou, the Third Hetao War also officially ended.

Three generals, Yang, Ma and Han, joined forces and dispatched 100,000 troops to attack Hetao. In the end, only 20,000 people fled back. Nearly 80,000 troops died in the battle in Hetao. This was even worse for the already poor Liangzhou.

Of course, although the Qin army defeated the Liangzhou coalition, it also paid a heavy price. In the more than three months of war, the Qin army suffered a total of 20,000 casualties, but compared with the Liangzhou coalition forces, this was an extremely negligible loss.

It was not easy for the Qin army to win this battle. If Wang Meng had not come to the rescue in time, it is not known how long the battle would have taken, and the casualties would have been even more severe.

Of course, although Wang Meng's contribution was great, the greatest contribution was made by Meng Tian, ​​who led the entire army. In addition, Zhao Yun was the one who fought against the three generals alone.

Let's put it this way, although Zhao Yun failed to kill the generals in this battle, if he had not blocked Shi Wansui, Wu Yunzhao, and Ma Yuan, the three most powerful generals in the Liangzhou coalition, the final result of this battle would not have been certain. Woolen cloth.

You must know that the number of fierce generals in the Liangzhou coalition is not only greater than that of the Qin army, but their quality is also no worse than that of the Qin army. It is impossible to win without dangerous tactics.

Before the decisive battle, Dian Wei proposed that he and Xu Chu could attack together, and together they would be able to defeat Gao Gao. This made Meng Tian excited and excited, but then a new problem arose.

Although Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Dian Wei can defeat Gao Gao together, they can do so only if no one intervenes. Who among the other generals of the coalition can stop him?

If any of the generals Shi Wansui, Wu Yunzhao, Ma Yuan, and Ma Chao went to support Gao Gao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu would not be able to defeat Gao Gao, and it would not be enough to send out the Qin army when it came.

At the critical moment, it was Zhao Yun who was ordered to stand in danger and blocked three peerless generals by himself. Only then did Dian Wei and Xu Chu defeat Gao Gao.

It was precisely because of the costly defeat that the Qin army broke through the coalition's defense line, which in turn caused the coalition's defeat.

 So, compared with defeating the high-spirited Dian Wei Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, who alone blocked three generals, contributed more.

　　————

Seeing Meng Tian leading his cavalry back to Hetao, Yang Guang, Ma Teng and Han Sui all secretly expressed their regret.

They have already mobilized troops from various places. As long as Meng Tian stays for a few days, they can surround the 25,000 Qin troops and devour them in one go.

It is a pity that Meng Tian saw that the situation was not good, so he retreated decisively and promptly, allowing their carefully prepared punch to hit the air directly.

After this tragic defeat in Hetao, the three major princes in Liangzhou should logically recuperate and regain their strength. But what no one expected was that before Meng Tian's army left, internal strife broke out among the three Liangzhou families. The instigator of this internal strife was Yang Guang.

After Meng Tian retreated, Gao Ying offered advice to Yang Guang.

Gao Ying said that the casualties in the Hetao War were too heavy and could not be recovered in a short period of time. It was better to not stop doing anything and take this opportunity to kill Ma Teng and Han Sui, annex their tribes, and unify Liangzhou in order to recover. Losses in the Battle of the Loop.

 The three coalition forces had just experienced a major defeat and should have united to fight against the Qin army. Instead, they had little defense against each other.

 Hence, if we attack the Ma and Han families at this time, the chance of success is still very high.

 The good opportunity to unify Liangzhou was right in front of him, and it was natural that Yang Guang would not be tempted.

On September 20th, Yang Guang held a Hongmen Banquet for Ma Teng and Han Sui on the pretext of negotiating an alliance.

Neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui expected that Yang Guang would attack them at this time. In the end, Ma Teng died at the hands of Gao Gao, while Han Sui was killed by Wu Yunzhao.

  It took too much time to make the map. There is only one update today.
