Chapter 1200: : Counterattack

It is absolutely unexpected for ordinary people to obtain their own fields. Over the years, they can only rely on being tenant farmers for their families and barely maintain their livelihood. This time Xiabian is caught in a war, and the people have no hands. Too much surplus food, if the war is protracted, the people in the city must be the first to be unable to sustain it.

Not to mention the excitement of the people of Xiabian after they got the news, and that Ma Chao led the soldiers to leave Xiabian. His expressions were full of anger. The situation in Xiabian was not that bad for the defenders. It was precisely because of the rebellion of the family in the city that made him feel angry. Had to leave Xiabian sadly.

There was a large amount of grain and grass in Xiabian City, and the defeat was so sudden that Ma Chao did not have time to burn the grain and grass, and the baggage was even cheaper for Lu Bu.

"General, although Xiabian is lost, there are five thousand troops in Longxi, enough to resist Lu Bu." Ma Dai persuaded.

Ma Chao said: "This general is angry that the aristocratic families in the city actually obeyed Lu Bu's instigation. After Lu Bu entered the city, these families were the first to be unlucky."

After counting the soldiers and horses, Ma Chao's complexion became even more gloomy. The two thousand cavalry who followed him to Wudu, now there are only more than a thousand people left, and there is even more panic in his expression, plus the defenders who have escaped from the city. At this time, Ma Chao had only more than three thousand people under his command.

The original defenders in Wudu City did not have a sense of belonging to Ma Chaonatural. After following Ma beyond the city, deserters continued to appear in the army. Even with Ma Chao's strict orders, the effect was not satisfactory.

"In the future, Lv Bu will inevitably pay a heavy price." Ma Chao said through gritted teeth, his handsome face also turning pale.

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a galloping horse came from the left.

Ma Dai's complexion changed drastically, "General, retreat quickly, I am afraid it is the enemy's cavalry."

Ma Chao immediately ordered the defenders in the city to resist the cavalry and led the Xiliang cavalry to retreat without hesitation. The Wudu army seemed a little flustered. It's almost time to escape. Instead of taking these people to Longxi, it's better to let these troops play their last bit of action.

Li Yan led five hundred flying cavalry to kill, and effortlessly defeated the army of Wudu. More soldiers chose to surrender at this time. Ma Chao had led the cavalry to leave them, so that they could not see victory. Hopefully, some soldiers fled in all directions.

After leaving a hundred cavalry to gather these surrendered soldiers, Li Yan led Feiqi to kill in the direction of Ma Chao's retreat.

Ma Chao, who was leading the cavalry, got the news that Feiqi was chasing him. He frowned. Feiqi dared to be so rampant with hundreds of people. He didn't mind teaching Feiqi a lesson.

After Li Yan led the flying cavalry to chase after him, he saw the Xiliang cavalry who was waiting in battle.

With a wave of the spear in Ma Chao's hand, the five hundred cavalry behind him slew towards Feiqi.

Feiqi showed the scimitar in his hand and was fighting with Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Just as the two sides were fighting inextricably, Ma Dai led more than 500 cavalry to kill from the left.

Unprepared, Feiqi's formation was in chaos, not only had to face the attack from Ma Chao, but also guard against Ma Dai. For a while, the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable for Feiqi.

"Retreat!" Li Yan gave the order to retreat without hesitation. After leading more than a hundred flying knights to cut off himself, Li Yan looked at Ma Chao with a dignified expression. In such a situation, he dared to counterattack the flying knights, Ma Chao. Sure enough, he was a powerful general of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing Feiqi retreating, Xiliang Iron Cavaliers burst into bursts of shouts.

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the cavalry under his command to clean the battlefield, and gave the scimitar rewards to the cavalry with meritorious service. This was the first time Xiliang Iron Cavalry cleaned the battlefield when facing the flying Cavaliers. Soldiers have been yearning for a long time, and the weapons made by hundreds of steel-making, even the generals among the Xiliang iron cavalry, do not receive such treatment.

Although he is not very good at the use of scimitars, he still attracts lieutenant soldiers' pursuit. For this kind of situation, Ma Chao is also a little helpless. Who made Lu Bu's cavalry use such sophisticated blades? This is also the most terrifying in the combined state army. Wherever, the elite cavalry are all equipped with blades made of hundreds of steels. Looking at the princes in the world, no one has such courage. Ma Chao is even a little jealous of the cavalry under Lu Bu's command.

Of course, what made the cavalry under the command of the other princes most unbalanced was that the soldiers of the Union State Army were paid.

Although he won a small victory against Feiqi, Ma Chao's mood was a little low. The reason why Feiqi retreated was because he was unprepared. If he fought these cavalry head-on, even the elite Xiliang cavalry would still eat. It is not a small loss, and once the flying cavalry is entangled, it means that there will be more chasing soldiers to kill.

Especially when Feiqi was retreating, he was very well-organized, so that he could not have the idea of ​​chasing.

After the first battle~www.readwn.com~ Ma Chao had fewer than a thousand cavalrymen. As for the soldiers who followed from the city, they were all lost. When they came, two thousand Xiliang cavalrymen, Ma Chao was right to guard. He also had a strong confidence, and he didn't expect to lose the next identification so quickly.

As a result, the situation is even more unfavorable for Ma Teng. Like Wudu, Ma Teng has not occupied Longxi for a long time, and lacks sufficient influence in Longxi. Only with Longxi's five thousand army, Ma Chao has no big chance of winning.

Ma Chao was defeated in Wudu. He led the cavalry to Longxi in a desperate manner. Ma Teng in Hanyang was also under great pressure. Han Sui sent 15,000 troops, plus 6,000 soldiers and horses from Anding County. It is more in number than the Chang'an Army.

As the foundation of Ma Teng, Hanyang is definitely not comparable to Wudu, but Ma Teng gathered the defenders from all over in Ji County before Han Sui and Zhao Yan led their troops into Hanyang. In one place, Ma Teng has the possibility of victory. Otherwise, the most likely situation to resist the enemy forces from both sides is to be defeated by each.

In the cities along the way, Han Sui and Zhao Yang's soldiers will naturally not give up, and they will definitely arrange defenders, which can divide the enemy's strength to a certain extent.

Ma Teng fought on the battlefield for many years. When the princes defeated Dong Zhuo, he was a member of the princes. Naturally, his experience on the battlefield was extremely rich.

Although there are many enemy forces outside the city, Ma Teng is confident enough to defend Ji County. If the enemy forces cannot break through Ji County and retreat, Ma Teng will naturally be able to recapture the city occupied by the two sides.

Hanyang’s family was supportive of Ma Teng. Otherwise, when Han Sui occupied Hanyang, Ma Teng could not have retaken Hanyang from Han Sui's hands so quickly.
