"Lord!" Just now, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted, "The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is going to launch a large-scale attack, and the heavy armor Iron Cavalry is also attacking!"

Cao Zhen felt a stern. When he looked back quickly, he saw that the black Xiliang cavalry formation was boiling like boiling water. A group of heavy armored iron cavalry wrapped in iron armor, which had rushed out of the central army from head to toe. This group of iron cavalry was obviously taller and stronger than other Xiliang cavalry, and even the running of war horses seemed particularly magnificent.

"That's great!" Wei Yan couldn't help but scream, "The Liang army was trapped, hahaha!"

"Kong Ming." Cao Zhen turned around and looked at Zhuge Liang and said in a deep voice, "The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is here!"

"Yes." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and there was no trace of pride on his young and elegant face. He said calmly, "All generals can act according to their plans and not disrupt the order."

Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Yan responded loudly: "The last general will receive the order."

With Zhuge Liang's order, the Chu army quickly began to move.

The personal soldiers of the central army protected Cao Zhen, and Zhuge Liang quickly retreated to the bank of the Yushui River. The five thousand Jingzhou navy led by Cai Mao had already responded by the river. Four thousand barbarians formed two round tortoise shell defensive formations and lined up side by side in the front. Wei Yan and Zhang Liao each led two thousand "infantry" to protect the two wings, and Li Yan led eight thousand "archers" to mount in the middle, and only Zhang He led five thousand light cavalry to hide in the back formation, ready to go.

Liang Army rear formation.

Sima Yi sneered: "As expected, Cao Zhen's son wanted to withstand the impact of our army with the tortoise shell formation, consume the aura of our army, and then use the archers' shooting to kill and injure our army in large quantities. When our army was seriously injured and forced to retreat, he mobilized the only light cavalry to counterattack. Humph, if there were no heavy armored iron cavalry, the Chu army might still have a six-point chance of winning, but now the Chu army will lose!"

"Yes." Ma Dai nodded, "It seems that Jingzhou will be pacified soon."

"Look at General." As soon as Ma Dai finished speaking, a side general shouted excitedly, "The heavy armored iron cavalry has already penetrated the Chu army's tortoise shell defense formation!"

"The Chu army's team began to get messy!"

"The Chu army has been torn in half from the middle!"

"Meng Da and General Su Ze have already detoured to the side of the Chu army!"

"The Chu army could not resist it and began to be defeated!"

"The Chu army has become defeated and is fleeing in all directions!"

"Our army won, hahaha, our army won..."

Seeing that the Liang army was unstoppable and the Chu army was defeated, the personal soldiers around Ma Dai cheered, but Sima Yi's eyebrows gradually frowned. The defeat of the Chu army was long as Sima Yi expected, but the defeat was so rapid but was quite beyond Sima Yi's expectations! In a vaguely, Sima Yi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that there was another fraud?

In the distance, on the Jingzhou navy ship.

Cai Mao said to Cao Zhen: "Lord, the Liang army is about to chase into the open space between two dense forests. At that time, as long as General Yu Jin and Mr. Liu Ye launch a crossbow to block the head and tail, and the two dense forests are full of thorns and lush grass and trees, the cavalry cannot pass through at all. Ma Dai's 30,000 Western Liang cavalry will become a turtle in a jar, and there will be only the slaughter!"

"Yes." Cao Zhen said excitedly, "Even if Ma Dai and Sima Yi find out that he is abnormal, he can't stop him even if he wants to withdraw his troops!"

Cai Mao said: "Whether you can wipe out these 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it will be decided soon!"

"Report..." As soon as Cai Mao finished speaking, a ya will rush to the deck, and the servant fell to the front of Cao Zhen and said in panic, "Lord, it's not good, something is wrong!"

Cao Zhen's heart was thrilled and said in a lost voice: "What's wrong?"

Yajiang gasped and said, "Returning to the horse, two Xiliang cavalrymen were coming from the city, Zaoyang was detouring toward Xinye, less than thirty miles away from this place!"

"What!?" Cao Zhen was shocked when he heard this and asked sternly, "How many cavalry do these two Xiliang cavalry have?"

General Ya said: "There are at least 40,000 cavalrymen in both directions!"

"ah!?"

Cao Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked back at Zhuge Liang for a long time and couldn't speak.

"Oh." Zhuge Liang sighed and said sadly, "As the saying goes, people harm the tiger's heart, and tigers also hurt people's wishes. We are planning to destroy Ma Dai's 30,000 vanguard cavalry, but the horse butcher wants to use these 30,000 cavalry as bait to lure and annihilate our main force in one fell swoop, and the time is just right! Ma Butcher Jia Dushi is old and has a good reputation."

Cao Zhen asked with a blue face, "What should we do now?"

Zhuge Liang said sadly: "The two cavalry sent by the Ma Butcher to cut off my retreat were nearly thirty miles away. It takes half an hour to arrive. At this time, an ambush can be launched. Even if Ma Dai's 30,000 cavalry, our main force may not be able to escape the fate of the destruction of the entire army! The Ma Butcher lost 30,000 cavalry and 300,000, and the lord lost these 30,000 elite soldiers, which hurt the fundamentals..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen couldn't help but twitch a little on his face. Once he missed such an opportunity, he was afraid that he would not have it again in the future.

Zhuge Liang slowly turned around and said to the personal soldiers behind him: "Send the order to cancel the ambush and burn the crossbow chariot on the spot, and then the entire army retreated to Jiangling."

Liang Army rear formation.

"It's broken!" Sima Yi shouted, "The dense forest! There must be an ambush in the two dense forests in front!"

"There is an ambush in the forest?" Ma Dai frowned, "Why is Zhongda so sure?"

Sima Yi said: "The Chu army was defeated too quickly. This shows that the 30,000 Chu troops on the front are definitely not the real Chu army. If you are not wrong, a large part of them are Qiao Zhun, the common people in Xinye City! And the real Chu army's main force must be ambushed in the two dense forests in front. When our cavalry chased and killed the defeated Chu army, the Chu army will definitely have all ambushed and caught our army off guard!"

Ma Daiyou looked at him and saw that most of the defeated Chu troops rushed towards the south. Thirty thousand Western Liang cavalry were chasing them relentlessly, and they were about to chase into the open space between the two dense forests.

"Quick!" Ma Dai was shocked and turned around and shouted to the personal soldiers behind him, "Send an order, the entire army will stop pursuing!"

"Oh, it's too late." Sima Yi lamented and said sadly, "The soldiers were only concerned about chasing the enemy. The formation was completely in chaos, and the military order could no longer be conveyed smoothly."
