Chapter 293 The Battle of Bingzhou

"Three Generals, something is wrong!"

As soon as Chen Da finished speaking, a junior school fled in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "General~ General~~ General~"

Chen Dao suddenly cried out in his heart after hearing this, grabbed the school's mind with one step forward and shouted sternly: "What's wrong with my elder brother? Tell me quickly!"

The little school trembled: "General~he was killed!"

"What!?" Chen Dao was shocked and hissed, "Why is this happening? What's going on?"

The little school said: "The army advanced fifty miles north of Xinye County. When Cao Cao heard that the general wanted to surrender to Liu Biao, he secretly sent an envoy and colluded with the Chief Jin Shang to launch a mutiny. The general refused to accept it and was killed!"

"Cao Cao! Jin Shang!" Chen Dao gritted his teeth, "I vowed not to be with you!"

"Come!"

Chen Dao threw the little school on the ground and shouted loudly.

Amid the rapid footsteps, dozens of personal soldiers rushed in and stood in the hall and shouted loudly: "What are the instructions of the third general?"

Chen Dao looked ferocious, and blood was about to drip from his eyes, crying word by word: "Call the army and go to Xinye~~Avenge your brother!"

"Abide by the order!"

More than a dozen personal soldiers responded to the promise and took the order and left.

The school, who first entered the internal news, asked quietly: "San General, have you summoned General Ma Yue's envoy?"

"No!" Chen Dao waved his hand angrily, and said sternly, "Avenge your brother first!"

The school reminded: "The three generals, relying on the two thousand Nanyang troops in the city, are they afraid that they are not opponents of Jin Shang, the traitor and Cao Cao. Are you considering using the power of the Liang army to avenge the general?"

"There is no need for this." Chen Dao said decisively, "The revenge of killing brother is irreconcilable, how can we use the hands of others?"

The school retreated awkwardly and said no more.

Chen Dao glanced at the school coldly and shouted, "You go down and prepare too."

"Affect the order."

The school bowed and turned around and retreated.

Outside the government office, Li Su was anxious. When he saw the school appearing, he couldn't help but be happy and stepped forward and asked, "General Huo Jun, can General Chen Dao meet?"

"Oh." Huo Jun sighed and shook his head, "Mr. Li Su, the last general was so speechless that he had blown you to the sky, saying how you sincerely stayed outside the government office for a whole day and night, but the third general was as strong as he would not meet each other. It's fine. Now the third general is eager to rush to Xinye to avenge the general, and he is even more unwilling to meet him."

"Ah?" Li Su said in a lost voice, "Avenge the general? Could it be that General Chen Ji..."

"That's right." Huo Jun said sadly, "The Jin Shang Dog Thief colluded with Cao Cao to launch a mutiny, and the general refused to be killed."

"Oh no." Li Su said, "You have to send someone to report back to your lord!"

Huo Jun's face changed and he said anxiously: "Hey, Mr. Li Su, don't say that this news was told by someone, otherwise the third general would have to cut someone alive."

Li Su bowed to Huo Jun and shouted: "The situation is urgent, so I will say goodbye."

From the official road to Wancheng north of Rang County, Ma Yue was leading more than 10,000 Xiliang troops to the north. As the vanguard of left and right, Xu Chu had already led two thousand cavalry to set out first. Calculate the time. It was time to pass Xingyang at this moment, and it was only a few dozen miles away from Wancheng.

Along the way, news about the Cao army and the Jingzhou army was spread like flowing.

Cao Cao indeed seized this fleeting opportunity and retreated in a large scale. At this moment, it was already two hundred miles away. Even if the Liang army wanted to chase him, it was too late!

The performance of the Jingzhou army was not beyond Ma Yue and Jia Xu's expectations. After hearing the Nanyang mutiny, the Jingzhou vanguard, who had already crossed Xinye and continued to head north, immediately retreated back to Xinye and began to repair the city walls and fortifications in Xinye County, and put on a perseverance. The subsequent Jingzhou army also accelerated its progress.

But at this time Ma Yue's mind was not on Cao's army and Jingzhou army.

"Xilulu~~"

A shrill sound of horse neighing suddenly sounded on the official road ahead, and then a rapid sound of horse hooves came like a storm. Horse Yue and Jia Xu looked up in shock and saw a fast horse galloping towards him like a wind sweeping away the broken clouds.

"Lord, Mr. Li Su urgently reported from Wancheng!"

"speak!"

"When Chen Dao heard that Chen Ji was killed, he had all two thousand Nanyang troops in the city running to Xinye to avenge Chen Ji. Now Wancheng has become an empty city!"

"It's broken!" As soon as the message soldier finished speaking, Jia Xu said, "I didn't expect that Chen Dao is so loyal and loyal. He just turned against his brother for a few days. When he heard that his brother was killed, he would raise an army to avenge him. Oh, what's bad is that Jin Shang. The Nanyang Army led by Liu Ye has changed its route to the east and headed for Yingchuan. Chen Dao is afraid that he will fight the Jingzhou Army when he goes south!"

"It's good to value love and friendship! This is a man, a good man!" Ma Yue said coldly, "If you work with the Jingzhou Army, you will get started. The Jingzhou Army is not a tiger that cannot be provoked!"

Jia Xu said: "But the Jingzhou army is crowded after all, so the lord, should we send troops to help?"

"It is certain to send troops to the front!" Ma Yue pondered for a moment and said decisively, "Come, take the fast horse and ask Ma Chao's troops to immediately change the marching route and advance eastward quickly. In any case, they must intercept Jin Shang and Liu Ye on the line of Duyang, Wuyang, and Biyang. They must not escape Zhongyang Mountain!"

"Let Xu Chu continue to go north and take advantage of the situation to occupy Wancheng!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

The two commanders responded with a loud promise and galloped away.

Ma Yue turned around suddenly, his eyes fell on the one-armed general Gao Shun, and said in a deep voice: "General Gao Shun."

Gao Shun hit the horse forward, hit his chest with one hand and said loudly: "The last one will be there."

Ma Yue said: "Lead 8,000 elite troops to Xinye immediately to Xinye to be responsible for picking up Chen Dao's Nanyang army! It is best to rush to Xinye before the Nanyang army. Remember not to start a light battle with the Jingzhou army, but let Jin Shang and Liu Ye escape from the east. The news that this general has condemned the interception of the light cavalry."

"The last general takes the order."

Gao Shun agreed and took the order and left.

The Great Grassland of Mobei.

The carriage was shaking, and the horses were roaring. Three hundred iron cavalry guarding three carriages were slowly moving towards the ten thousand households on the left. The desert in October was already icy and snowy. The vast wasteland was covered with snow and snow, which made people dizzy! If the inexperienced southerner appeared on this thousand-mile snow field for the first time, they would probably be blind due to fresh curiosity!

The window of a simple carriage in the middle suddenly opened a corner, revealing a small face that was slightly thin. Only a pair of black eyes on the face looked full of aura. It was just widening its black eyes and looking around, but at first glance, the pale snow color was removed, and the pale snow color was still pale.

At this moment, a white wrist stretched over and gently covered the curtains of the carriage.

A pleasant voice sounded in the carriage at the same time: "Zheng'er, don't watch this thousand-mile snow field for too long, otherwise you will get snow blindness."

The carriage was filled with Liu Yan and Ma Zheng and his son, but they didn't know why they ran to the Mobei Grassland in the cold winter of 3000 to suffer this life? Wouldn't it be good to stay in the old camp of Hetao?

"Mom, what is snow blindness?"

A slightly immature voice asked.

"Snow blindness means that after looking at the white snow field for a long time, people's eyes will become blind."

"After looking at the white snow field for a long time, why do people's eyes blind?"

"Because human eyes can't stand it."

"Why can't human eyes stand it?"

"Zheng'er, you've asked too much."

"Mom, can we not go to Uncle Zhou Cang's left ten thousand households?"

"This is your father's decision, and my mother can't change it."

"Mom, does the father don't like the child, so he has to send the child away? Is this just because he is not upset?"

"How could you, a child, have such an idea? You forgot that your father was hit by several arrows last time to save you. If it weren't for the golden woven clothes your Yu Niang Madam, your father would have been seriously injured. Don't look at your father's coldness and no harshness, but he loves you the most in his heart."

"But my father always scolds the child, and he doesn't meet his father a few times every year, and he will be beaten up when he meets him."

"Oh, who made you the eldest son? When you grow up, you want to inherit your father's foundation. Of course, your father's requirements for you will be stricter than your younger brothers and sisters. Zheng'er, when you grow up in the future, you will understand your father's painstaking efforts. He is all for your own good. If you don't have any skills and no prestige, how can you shock your father's old subordinates who have outstanding military achievements?"

"oh."

In the carriage, Ma Zheng said softly and then fell silent.

At this moment, a undulating hill suddenly appeared on the boundless snow field ahead. A horse-riding thief appeared on the top of the mountain like a lone wolf, flashing and disappearing without a trace. The convoy continued to advance less than ten miles, and hundreds of thousands of mobei horse thieves suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides like ghosts.

"Woooo~~"

In the desolate oxen horn, horse thieves that appeared one after another began to slowly move towards the convoy.

The leader of the three hundred cavalry, the surname Xu Ming Shao, was the clan brother of the tiger crazy Xu Chu. He was one of the three hundred brave men who first followed Xu Chu to join Ma Butcher. Since Yingchuan, he has followed Ma Butcher to fight in the east and west, and fight in the south and north. I don’t know how many life-and-death battles he has experienced, and how he can live to this day, which shows his bravery!

Xu Shao raised his sabre and shouted: "Leave two hundred cavalry brothers to form a round formation, protect the young master and his wife in the formation, and use bows and arrows to kill the enemy. The remaining one hundred brothers followed him and defeated the thieves in front. These thieves with no eyes dared to make ground on Tai Sui's head. They were so tired of living!"

In just a moment, more than 300 horse thieves gathered in front of Xu Shao, waving the scimitar in his hand to rush towards the convoy.

The two armies advanced in a short while, and they had already rushed to the range of the cavalry bow. After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen cavalry fell down. This battle was evenly matched! This group of horse thieves had great skills in horse kung fu, but Xu Shao's three hundred iron cavalry were also elite cavalry with a hundred battles. The riding and shooting skills were no less than those of the nation on the horse's back.

The range of the cavalry bow is already short (because it is direct shooting), and with the cavalry hedging, after shooting two arrows, the two armies almost collided. Once they entered the close-up, the gap in strength between the two armies emerged.

Although Xu Shao's 100 cavalry were at a disadvantage in the number of people, they were well-equipped and well-trained. Three people formed a forward-arrow assault formation in groups to cover each other and cooperated with each other. Each ten small formations formed a large assault formation. The three large forward-arrow formations were like three sharp bone-cutting swords and stabbed into the horse thieves team. There was no rules, and the horse thieves team that were swarming in suddenly became overturned and their formation was in chaos.

The more than 300 horse thieves in front were soon attacked by Xu Shao's 100 cavalry.

The other four or five hundred horse thieves who swarmed from the other three directions were also hit by another two hundred iron cavalry. Both charges ended in failure. On the contrary, dozens of corpses were left behind on the outside of the convoy. More than a dozen horse thieves were not injured and were lying on the snow and struggling and wailing, but the horse thieves in the distance did not dare to come to rescue them.

The horse thief who failed the raid quickly changed his tactics and no longer launched a strong attack, but retreated to the distance, like a wolves, and was worried about the safety of Liu Yan and Gongzizheng, so he did not dare to attack rashly, so he had to protect the convoy and march northward. Fortunately, it was already the hinterland of the desert, and it was only more than 200 miles away from the Wanhu Old Camp in the left part of Zhoucang.

A cavalry came to Xu Shao and whispered: "General, this group of horse thieves seem to be not ordinary horse thieves."

"Oh?" Xu Shao's heart sank and asked, "Tell me what you think."

The cavalry said: "A few years ago, before the money shop was opened, Guanzhong merchants went to Mobei to buy fur and livestock and needed to carry a lot of money. For safety, they often hired troops to protect the convoy. The villain had also participated in several business protection tours and had several battles with the horse thieves in Mobei."
