Chapter 900 Ma Chao Is Here, Old Man Lian Po Rests

On the mountain road in the northern suburbs of Anlu City, Lian Po ordered a reverse charge. In an instant, the vast army rushed towards the hillsides on both sides like marching ants, trying to save their respective fates.

Facts have proved that this resistance is futile.

Just when the Qin army launched a reverse charge, Ma Chao's troops on the top of the mountain took advantage of the situation to put away their bows and arrows, stepped on their horses, and under the unified dispatch of the commander, they brazenly launched a charge.

"charge!"

Just imagine, what would happen if the infantry going up the hill and the cavalry charging down the hill collide with each other?

What happened next was nothing short of human tragedy.

If the Qin army going up the mountain is a group of ants fighting against fate, then the charging Jin army is a monstrous torrent, which completely submerges and destroys the ant colony in an instant with an unstoppable and inescapable force.

In the frantic waves, the soldiers of the Qin army were like rootless duckweed, drifting with the tide, they could not control their own destiny at all. Countless warriors were trampled into flesh under the hooves of the horses, their heads decapitated.

Blood flowed across the hillside.

At the moment when he saw the cavalry, Lian Po's heart trembled and he almost lost his breath.

The first to be defeated was the one hundred thousand natives of the Qin army. Under the command of the commander, they bravely braved the rain of arrows and rushed towards the hillside tremblingly.

When the cavalry charged, the frontline troops were destroyed, and the last bit of courage of the Qin army disappeared. They ran away one by one, fearing that they would not be able to avoid them.

250,000 troops walked on the mountain road, stretching for more than ten miles. When the attack order was issued, the frontline troops had already rushed to the halfway up the mountain, and the rear troops had not received the military order yet.

The defeat of the front army made the rear army completely lose their courage, and they dispersed in a hurry. No matter how tough the commander was, it was of no avail.

"kill!"

How could the Alien Legion of the Eastern Jin camp miss such a good opportunity and start hunting immediately. At the same time, Huan Chong's troops, who were ambushing on the side of the mountain road, rushed out and attacked the Qin army.

All over the mountains and plains, there are fights everywhere.

The entire mountain forest turned into a battlefield of killing, endlessly.

"withdraw!"

Lian Po frowned, knowing that the general situation was over, the morale of the whole army had dropped to freezing point, and the soldiers had no desire to fight any more. If it continued, it would only lead to the annihilation of the whole army. What can be done right now is to keep the troops as much as possible.

Thinking of what he said just now that there was no ambush, Lian Po was ashamed.

One hundred thousand Qin army natives were located behind the army, blocking the way for the army to retreat northward. In desperation, Lian Po had no choice but to lead his troops to move on, leaving the damn mountain road first.

Fortunately, the natives of the Qin army were in the rear. If they were in the front, their defeat and further retreat would surely drag the entire army into the abyss of hell.

"This group of guys who failed to achieve success and failed to succeed." Lian Po thought fiercely.

Fortunately, the 150,000 Alien Legion of the former Qin camp was not a vegetarian either. Although there was a sudden change, they panicked and did not panic. After the frontline troops were defeated, they immediately formed formations on the mountain road to defend against the enemy.

The cavalry of the Eastern Jin camp went down the mountain to charge, although they were invincible, but the cavalry never dared to come to the mountain road easily, otherwise they would be trapped in the sea of ​​people, and they would not be able to escape.

Lian Po, a veteran with vicious vision and rich experience, dispatched a large army to block the invasion of enemy cavalry and cover the withdrawal of the main force.

As for the 100,000 natives of the Qin army, Lian Po no longer wanted to take care of them.

…………

On a high ground somewhere on the top of the mountain, Ma Chao rode on a horse, condescendingly watching the whole battle situation. Standing beside Ma Chao was Ma Xiu, the commander of the third division, and also Ma Chao's younger brother.

Matthew pointed to Lian Po's troops and said, "General, Lian Po is about to escape!"

In the army of the Great Xia Dynasty, some habits of the generals of the Three Kingdoms such as Matthew also changed. Just like in the army right now, Matthew would never call Ma Chao big brother in public, the relationship between them is superior and inferior.

Ma Chao said intently: "You can't let the old thief Lian Po escape. Gather your team and we'll go after him!"

"promise!"

In an instant, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who hadn't entered the battlefield were already in place.

Ma Chao decided to attack in person, "Come on!"

The ferocious Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is superior to other Territorial Elite Cavalry, and the mountain roads that other elite cavalry dare not set foot on are common for Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"kill!"

Brothers Ma Chao and Ma Xiu went out in person and led their tiger and leopard cavalry into Lian Po's army.

This time, the judgment is judged.

The originally seemingly indestructible battle formation was like paper in front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. With a peerless general like Ma Chao leading the battle, and a tiger and leopard cavalry among the world's elite, who can stop them? !

In an instant, the tiger and leopard rider cleared a bloody path on the mountain road.

Seeing them, the spirits of the rest of the territories were greatly boosted, and they would not admit that they were afraid, so they charged. In a short time, the flames of war spread from the hillside to the mountain road, and the fighting on the battlefield became more and more fierce.

Both sides have casualties, it depends on who is more vicious.

However, Ma Chao had no time to pay attention to the situation of the battle, he led his troops to chase after Lian Po, and shouted loudly: "Ma Chao is here, old Lian Po, don't leave."

Hearing this, Lian Po in front was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Although Lian Po had a good face, he was very patient, knowing that this was not the time to show off his tongue, so he withdrew in a muffled voice.

When Ma Chao saw him, he led his troops in hot pursuit.

With the speed of tiger and leopard cavalry, there is really no troop that can outrun them. In this way, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fell behind Lian Po's army as if they wanted to peel a radish, chopping off one by one.

However, the mountain road is narrow, even if Lian Po wanted to keep a large army to defend against the enemy, he couldn't do it.

Only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

Lian Po only hated why the mountain road was so long, it seemed to have no end. For the soldiers of Lian Po's army, every minute and every second of the retreat was a huge torment.

The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Ma Chao are like a pack of hungry wolves, they will not give up until they reach their goal.

In order to catch up with Lian Po, Ma Chao even abandoned the main battlefield. This is not because Ma Chao is acting on his own will, but because Ma Chao has seen through the key to this battle.

Lian Po is the soul of this Qin army. As long as Lian Po is taken down, even the troops will not be in danger. As for the main battlefield, let the generals sent by Huan Chong and other territories take care of it.

The two armies chased and fled, and ran for more than half an hour before they walked out of the mountain path. Along the way, not only Ma Chao shouted again, but all the tiger and leopard riders shouted together: "Old Lian Po, don't go!"

As the saying goes: The master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death.

Seeing the humiliation of the general, the Handan army who followed Lian Po was quite upset, and murmured that they wanted to stop and fight the tiger and leopard riders to the death, but they were suppressed by Lian Po.

Lian Po is worthy of being an old fox, knowing that the other party did this to provoke him and make him stop the decisive battle, how could Lian Po be fooled.

This time leading his troops to Jingzhou, Lian Poben bears the heavy trust of his lord, which is related to a big plan.

Unexpectedly, it was a crushing defeat.

If the army of Handan City is completely wiped out in this battle, then Lian Po will have no face to see the lord again.

After leaving the mountain road, the terrain suddenly became open.

Lian Po also had no intention of fighting to the death, so he immediately divided the army into three, agreed to join forces in Yuzhou, and disappeared into the wilderness with the army along the way.

When Ma Chao led his troops to chase out, he was dumbfounded when he looked at the army in three directions.

"Brother, which way to go?" Matthew asked.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and said, "You and I each lead a team to pursue." Ma Chao didn't believe that they would memorize like this, and they could make Lian Po escape by choosing two out of three.

It's not that Ma Chao didn't want to divide his troops into three groups. In fact, his troops were limited. If they were too scattered, he might be countered by the enemy, which would be bad.

Don't look at Ma Chao's appearance as a fierce general, but he is by no means a reckless man.

…………

Of course Ma Chao wouldn't do that, but he underestimated Lian Po's cunning.

Lian Po was not in any of the three routes of the army at all, but stayed in a forest beside the mountain road with a team of personal guards.

When he saw the tiger and leopard riding away on Juechen, he walked out of the woods and disappeared into the wilderness.

Afterwards, Lian Po came to a village, "borrowed" clothes to change into, and disguised himself all the way to Yuzhou.

…………

As the evening approached, Ma Chao led his troops back angrily. Not long after, Matthew also led his troops back. The two brothers looked at each other, and both saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

Ma Chao couldn't help spitting: "This old fox!"

"After all, ginger is still old and spicy."

Although they failed to capture Lian Po, fortunately, the Eastern Jin camp finally won a big victory today.

There were 250,000 Lianpo troops in the service, but less than 100,000 survived in the end.

The surviving Alien Legion was only more than 50,000 people. After the Qin army's natives withdrew from the battlefield, they disappeared into the mountains and fields of Jingzhou, and they would never gather with the large army.

This battle alone scares them.

A Southern Expedition that was bound to be won eventually turned into a big defeat, and it was extremely embarrassing.

Of course, the Eastern Jin camp did not pay a price, and nearly 50,000 soldiers were completely buried in the mountains. The Huanchong tribe suffered the most casualties, with more than 30,000 dead.

Even so, Huan Chong couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

There is no doubt that this is a big victory enough for Huan Chong to show his merits to His Majesty. Coupled with the credit for annihilating 30,000 Qin troops before, Huan Chong can be described as shining in this battle.

Comparing with Xie Xuan, it's not much better.

At night, Ma Chao and Huan Chong met to discuss the next military action.

Before leaving, the king had ordered him to do so, and Ma Chao obeyed. He said to Huan Chong, "General Huan, tomorrow I will lead my troops back to Yuzhou and pursue the remnants of the enemy. As for the remnants of the enemy scattered in Jingzhou, General Lao will Annihilated."

Huan Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, and the smile on his face became more vigorous. Huan Chong is a sensible person. He knows that the people scattered in Jingzhou are all natives of the Qin army, and they have almost no combat power. It will only take some effort to wipe them out.

The alien army of the Qin Army who fled to Yuzhou is the real hard stubble. Now that Ma Chao took the initiative to take over the hard stubble and left the soft persimmons to Huan Chong, how could Huan Chong not like it.

Huan Chong clasped his fists and said, "They are all serving the imperial court, the general is polite."

Ma Chao nodded lightly, didn't say much, took his leave and left after a while. He didn't serve the Eastern Jin Dynasty for the reason, he served the Great Xia Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Ma Chao organized the surviving 80,000 alien army and set off on his way home.
