Chapter 68 Defeat the Wei Army
It can be said that when he saw that the Shu army camp was empty, Hao Zhao reacted very quickly.
He turned around and left without any hesitation.
But it was still a little late. As soon as Hao Zhao rushed out of the gate of the Shu army camp, he heard countless shouts of killing around him.
"kill!!"
"Capture Hao Zhao alive!"
"Whoever catches Hao Zhao will be rewarded heavily by the general!"
I saw countless torches suddenly appearing not far away, winding endlessly. Countless Qiang and Hu cavalry rushed out of the darkness and chased the Wei army.
"Array up!" Hao Zhao's expression changed drastically, and it was still unclear that he had been tricked. The Shu army may indeed have no follow-up troops, but these few people alone are enough to ambush him.
At this time, the Qiang and Hu cavalry suddenly charged and must not retreat. Once the infantry's formation is disrupted, the Shu army's cavalry can easily go on a killing spree.
Hao Zhao got on his horse, held up a torch, and ordered all his troops to gather together and form a formation to resist the charge of the Shu army.
The troops led by Hao Zhao were all his old subordinates, and there was no chaos after the brief commotion. The soldiers formed an emergency formation in the dark and gathered towards Hao Zhao.
"Hao Zhao! You figured it out!"
At this time, Hao Zhao saw a man in the vanguard of the Shu army who was wearing extremely bright clothes, riding a white horse and charging with Qiang and Hu cavalry.
"Ma Su?" Hao Zhao was shocked. He always thought that this guy was a Confucian general, but he didn't expect that he could lead the charge!
Damn it, this bastard was pretending from the beginning, making me think he was just an armchair scholar!
At this time, Ma Di was even more excited. After scolding Wei Jun for so long, he finally came out.
From the first day he arrived in Chencang, Ma Su made a plan to lure the enemy out of the city to fight Hao Zhao in the wild. For this reason, he led the Shu army cavalry to provoke and curse Hao Zhao every day.
But secretly, the Shu army monitored the movements of the Wei army day and night. The soldiers were all sleeping in armor, ready to withdraw and ambush at any time.
So when Hao Zhao led his troops out of the city, the Shu army was already ready.
"Hao Zhao! I'll take your head!" Ma Di roared and rushed towards Hao Zhao majestically. More than a hundred cavalrymen followed closely behind, all with murderous intent.
Facing the Shu army's long-planned offensive, the Wei army hastily formed a formation and was completely unable to stop it. As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Wei army suddenly became chaotic.
"Kill!!" The Qiang and Hu cavalry, holding sabers, howled and rushed into the Wei army's formation, rushing in all directions to disrupt the Wei army's formation.
Ma Su, on the other hand, led more than a hundred personal guard cavalry and rushed straight into the army to kill Hao Zhao.
"Hao Zhao! Go to hell!" Ma Di swung his sword and struck at Hao Zhao.
Horse fighting is not complicated. If you use a spear, you basically dodge each other while stabbing at the other side.
And if it's not a spear, then I'll cut you and block it, and you'll block it if you cut it.
Judging from the speed of Ma Su's charge, he was probably planning to kill him when he passed by the wrong horse. Hao Zhao did not dare to neglect this, and quickly raised his sword to meet him, preparing to block Ma Su's inevitable sword strike.
"Bang!"
Hao Zhao and Ma Su exchanged weapons for a while, and then passed by the wrong horse. What surprised Hao Zhao was that the power coming from the sword was pitiful, not even as strong as an infantry.
What's going on?
However, in just a moment, Hao Zhao knew what was going on.
The bodyguard cavalry following Ma Su had already surrounded him!
"Ma Su! You despicable person!"
"Fuck! It hurts so much!" Ma Su looked at the cracked tiger's mouth on his hand, his face dark.
What the hell are you blocking? I can't even break your armor with my little strength. And with my physique, you can knock me down with just one strike.
Why are you so cowardly?
Ma Di wanted to turn around and challenge Hao Zhao again, but when he turned around, he saw that Hao Zhao had been surrounded by the cavalry behind him. Hao Zhao's personal guards were all infantry and had been dispersed in one round, leaving Hao Zhao surrounded and struggling to hold on.
"Forget it, there's no point in bullying a fool." Ma Su shook his head and gave up the idea of turning back and continuing to fight Hao Zhao with a bayonet.
"I'd better continue to charge into the battle. With so many elites from the Wei army, there must be one who is lucky enough to stab me to death, right?"
That night, the Wei soldiers saw for the first time what a Shu Han man is, and they will never forget the man who fought left and right in the formation like a god of war!
Although no one knows how many people this God of War has killed, it is certain that no one can stab him under the horse!
The two sides fought until near dawn, and Hao Zhaocai finally got rid of the siege of the Qiang and Hu cavalry when the Wei army suffered most of its losses. He fled towards Chencang City with the remaining troops.
Fortunately, the Shu army that besieged them were basically Qiang and Hu cavalry, and their discipline was very poor. After a night of fighting, many cavalrymen began to capture prisoners and grab trophies, which allowed Hao Zhaoming to escape.
However, before Hao Zhao could reach the bottom of the city, he suddenly saw the city gate opened wide in the direction of Chencang, and countless Shu troops were fighting with Wei troops. The leader was none other than Meng Guo, the commander of the Wudang Fei Army, who was leading the Wudang Fei Army to storm Chencang City.
The Wudang Feijun led by Meng Guo can be said to be the best at climbing in the Shu army. They can easily climb up some shorter county towns. When the Prime Minister attacked Longyou, they made great achievements.
Hao Zhao led his troops to attack the Shu army camp at night. Meng Guo immediately sent dozens of soldiers to sneak up on the city and easily opened the gate of Chencang City.
Unfortunately, the Wei army guarding the city discovered it and immediately started a fight with Wudang Feijun. Because there are still more than 3,000 soldiers in the city, Meng Guo cannot attack them for a while.
"How dare the Shu army do this? I, Hao Zhao, are here!" Seeing the crisis, Hao Zhao hurriedly shouted, pretending to be fierce.
"Even Ma Su was killed by me. I want to see what waves you guys can make!"
Hearing Hao Zhao's words, Meng Guo was suddenly shocked.
"Something happened to the general?"
Seeing Hao Zhao returning with his troops, Meng Guo was in a state of confusion, and immediately led his troops to retreat in a hurry without wanting to fight.
This decision later made Meng Guo regret it for a long time. At that time, he almost completed the most difficult task of Shu Han.
Capture the city that Hao Zhao was responsible for defending.
Wudang Feijun retreated, and Hao Zhaoming fled back to Chencang. After counting, only 300 people were left behind!
Most of the soldiers were ambushed by the Shu army and stayed outside.
Chencang's side also lost hundreds of people due to the sneak attack by Wudang Feijun. In just one night, Hao Zhao lost nearly half of his troops!
On the other side, the Shu army ushered in another great victory!
"General, except for the traitor leader Hao Zhao who escaped, most of the rest of the Wei army were captured by us." Shu Ji counted the loot and prisoners and felt extremely surprised.
"Our army captured more than a thousand Wei troops and beheaded more than 400 people. Except for a few who escaped and collapsed, the Wei troops were basically wiped out here."
"We captured more than a hundred black armors in total, which definitely gave Hao Zhao a heavy blow!"
Ma Su didn't have anything to say about this. At this moment, he was still puzzled as to why he was still alive after spending a whole night.
It was okay to say that I was fine when I was chasing the bandits before, they were just a ragtag group of people. But this time it was Hao Zhao who was the main force. He was wearing such a dazzling red robe and was unscathed?
Is this the distortion of human nature or the torture of heaven?
Could it be that I really turned it on and it's still not turned off yet?
