Chapter 400 Massacre! The Modao Army Vs. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

"Major General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce!"

General Pi, who was covered in blood, took the sword that had many holes missing, panted and came to the city gate tower to report to Ma Chao.

The Xiliang army is famous for its cavalry, and defending the city is not their strong point; in addition, the Han army's attack was too sudden, and they had no preparation at all.

Therefore, facing the fierce offensive of the Han army like a tide, it became increasingly difficult for them to defend.

Ma Chao said nothing, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.

On the city walls on the east and south sides, ladders and carts were pushed down the city wall, and Han soldiers climbed up and attacked the city one after another.

Although the walls of Chang'an City are tall and wide, the disadvantages are also obvious-that is, Chang'an is too big and requires doubled troops to defend it.

The Han army came well prepared this time and was far more numerous than them.

The troops in Chang'an City may be able to withstand it for a while, but they will never be able to survive the Han army's attack for a long time!

"Pound! You really deserve to die!!"

When he thought of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel angry. He wanted to rush out of the city immediately and cut off Pang De's head with his own hands!

However, he could only think about it. There were Zhang Liao and Lu Bu in the Han army, and even Zhao Yun and Zhang He were among them. Any one of these four men could be as strong as him.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and ordered: "Abandon Chang'an City and evacuate from the north gate!"

Originally, he had the idea of ​​holding on to Chang'an City and waiting for Cao Cao's troops to rush to help after getting the news, but the fierce offensive of the Han army made him give up this plan.

Because there was no way he could hold Chang'an before reinforcements arrived.

If you stay, you can only wait for death!

The guard on the side heard this and asked: "Young General, what should the old general do...?"

Ma Teng is still imprisoned in the General's Mansion. If he is taken with him, he will undoubtedly be a burden; but if he is not taken with him...

Ma Chao's face was uncertain, and he whispered: "Don't worry about him, just set a fire in the house."

After all, he still couldn't make the decision to kill his biological father, so he chose to burn the general's mansion. As for whether Ma Teng could survive the fire, it depends on God's will.

The guard was shocked and did not dare to say anything, so he did as he was told.

…

Outside Chang'an City, the Han army formed a military formation.

Gao Shun came to report: "General, the south wall has been captured by our army, and the enemy troops are withdrawing from the north gate and fleeing westward!"

"good!"

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this. His decision was indeed the right one. Ma Chao was caught off guard and was unable to defend Chang'an City!

Lu Bu immediately picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and said, "We can't let Ma Chao run away! I will lead the troops in pursuit. I must take his head to see His Majesty!"

He can ignore everything else, but he must not spare Ma Chao, the traitor who attempts to split his grandson's kingdom!

"Okay, let Zilong go with you!"

Zhang Liao said nothing and at the same time ordered: "Send the order to General Zhang He and ask him to quickly lead the Modao Army to intercept Ma Chao from the front!"

He had anticipated that Ma Chao might escape, so he had Mo Daojun on standby in the west, and now he just happened to hit him!

"promise!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists in response and hurried forward to deliver the message.

Soon Lu Bu and Zhao Yun both dispatched, each leading five thousand cavalry composed of Wuhuan people to pursue Ma Chao.

On the other hand, after Zhang He received the news, he immediately handed over the offensive of the East City Gate to his deputy general, while he led the Modao Army to intercept the enemy.

Ma Chao fled to the west after escaping Chang'an City from the North City Gate. Chang'an City could not be defended, and his only way out now was to return to his hometown in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is his world. After he returns, he only needs a few more years to recuperate before he can regroup his army and make a comeback!

"Major General! There are pursuers coming from behind!"

After Ma Chao heard the deputy general's words, he turned around and saw a cavalry group chasing after him.

Although the number of people is not large, the momentum is quite amazing.

But the key is the two generals at the front!

One person wears a purple gold crown with three prongs, a halberd in his hand, and a red rabbit horse under his crotch; the other person is in white robes, silver armor, and a silver spear, with a face like a crown of jade. It is Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, the two generals!

"Hold on, horse! Come and fight me to the death!"

Lu Bu yelled, waving his whip constantly, using the speed of the red rabbit horse to close the distance between him and the enemy in front.

At this time, the only target in his eyes was Ma Chao!

When Ma Chao heard this, he felt a tingle in his heart. He and Lu Bu had fought before, and this kind of monster was simply not something he could defeat.

What's more, there is another Zhao Yun who has the record of taking the first place in an army!

Even if his troops far outnumbered the pursuers at the rear, Ma Chao would not dare to challenge him, because once he was caught, more Han troops would come after him.

"Escape quickly! Go to Sanguan!"

Ma Chao said anxiously that Sanguan was still under his control. As long as he escaped from Sanguan, he would be able to buy time for him to evacuate.

But at this time, he suddenly discovered that there was an army of infantry blocking the road ahead. This army of infantry was wearing gorgeous armor and holding an exaggerated sword in their hands. They were on their way to escape. Be prepared on the road.

"It's really annoying!"

A look of extreme impatience appeared on Ma Chao's face. Although the infantry was vulnerable to the cavalry, it would delay his escape to some extent.

However, the opponent was blocking the road and it was impossible to avoid or go around. Ma Chao felt murderous intent in his heart and said coldly: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry! Crush them!"

Since they want to die, then he will make it happen for them!

His Xiliang cavalry is world-famous. Although he is not good at defending the city, when it comes to charging, he is unparalleled. All heavy infantry are like chickens and dogs in front of his cavalry!

As Ma Chao issued the order, tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry suddenly began to speed up, charging forward with the force of the earth shattering.

Such earth-shattering power is like a wave on the Qiantang River, making people tremble from the bottom of their hearts!

When the cavalry charges, it means that countless lives will be harvested and countless corpses will be trampled into powder!

At this time, there was a large army blocking the road ahead.

It was the Modao Army led by Zhang He!

Now he also put on the weapons and equipment of the Modao Army. He stood in front of the military formation and looked coldly at the Xiliang Army rushing towards him.

"The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is the most powerful in the world..."

Zhang He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then clenched the Mo Dao in his hand, suddenly raised his arms and roared: "Mo Dao Army——!"

"Fight to the death—!"

Countless Modao soldiers roared in unison.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tested.

If I tell you today, I will shock the world!

Under the rising sun, tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry and Modao troops collided with each other, and there seemed to be a moment of silence between heaven and earth.

Then the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world!

The cavalry versus the infantry would often be broken into pieces in a single charge, and then massacred wantonly by the cavalry charging behind them.

But now, offense and defense have changed!

The Mo Dao army fought bravely with the Xiliang cavalry without fear of death. The big Mo Dao in their hands finally showed their unique power on this battlefield!

Taking advantage of the charge of the cavalry, the soldiers of Modao were able to cut the horse's head into two pieces together with the soldiers on the horse with one strike!

This process does not take much effort for the soldiers, because the Mo Dao itself is extremely sharp. They don't even need to use force to swing it, so that the enemy can collide with their blade, and then slash it over!

The charging momentum that the cavalry was originally proud of has now become their own reminder. What is even more frightening is that their blades are often snatched away by the long-handled Modao soldiers before they can cut them. Take your life!

"What!"

Seeing the Xiliang cavalry being slaughtered by the infantry army in front of him, Ma Chao was shocked and cried out.

The bloody scenes of people and horses being shattered and their intestines and organs flowing all over the floor severely impacted his eyes and heart!

He just felt that his long-standing knowledge had been completely overturned. He had never seen such a scene!

What kind of army is this?

The massacre of the Mo Dao Army continued. Although they were scattered, they did not fight individually. Instead, they worked in groups of three and two, cooperating with each other to attack the enemy.

They are like a sophisticated mechanism, displaying their violent aesthetics on this battlefield, constantly harvesting the lives of enemy soldiers.

No one is afraid, and no one retreats.

They knew their mission when they were selected into the Mo Dao Army, which was to be the sharpest sword and the strongest shield on the battlefield!

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

They have no way out, they have to fight to the death!

Lu Bu and Chao Yun, who were chasing Ma Chao from behind, also saw the bloody scenes on the battlefield ahead. Even though they were experienced warriors and had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they couldn't help but be moved after seeing this scene. .

"This...is the power of Modao Army?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of shock. Although he knew that Mo Daojun was very strong, he never expected that it would be so strong.

No wonder the emperor spent so much effort and cost to build this army. On the battlefield, it is a great weapon to restrain the cavalry!

Not to mention dealing with infantry!

Lu Bu on the side was so drooling at the sight, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but said sourly: "It would be great if Your Majesty could let me command the Mo Dao Army..."

Seeing the power of the Modao Army, he instantly felt that his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was no longer good, because he knew that even if he personally led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to attack the Modao Army, he would only end up defeated.

After wiping his saliva, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, while Mo Daojun is stalling for time, let's quickly outflank him from behind!"

"good!"

Zhao Yun immediately agreed, and the two divided their forces to form a circle to surround Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was holding an iron gun and was fighting fiercely with the Mo Dao army on the battlefield. He stabbed a Mo Dao soldier with his gun. Unexpectedly, the other soldier turned sideways quickly, and the tip of the spear grazed the shoulder guard, and a series of sparks burst out. .

Then the soldier slashed hard at the horse under him with his Mo Dao. Ma Chao quickly raised his gun to block, and then took advantage of the soldier's unpreparedness and stabbed him in the throat, finally killing him.

"What kind of monsters are these!"

After taking care of this Mo Dao soldier, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel cold sweats on his back.

These soldiers are unimaginably well-equipped with weapons and equipment, and their combat capabilities are also extraordinary. Each one of them is very difficult to deal with.

He has only killed seven or eight enemy soldiers since the beginning of the war.

Where did the imperial court gather such a large army? !

While he was thinking, several more Modao soldiers came together to kill the general. Ma Chao did not dare to look down upon them and gritted his teeth to fight them back.

Then he looked around the battlefield and saw that the situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and the pursuers behind had already caught up.

"Don't fight! Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Ma Chao knew that if this continued, not only would the Xiliang army be annihilated here, but he would also die here, so he hurriedly gave the order.

Although this infantry army was powerful, infantry was still infantry after all, not as agile as cavalry. As long as they wanted to escape, the enemy would not be able to catch up.

Seeing the military flag begin to withdraw, the soldiers of the Xiliang army also began to retreat in the direction of the military flag. Of course, they were inevitably blocked by the Modao army in the process, and they paid a considerable price before they successfully left the battlefield.

"Hu, hu..."

Zhang He looked at the enemy army going away, sat down on the ground full of corpses and blood, and was exhausted.

You must know that the weapons and equipment of the Modao army are strong in defense and attack, but they are also very heavy and very labor-consuming.

At this time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led the troops over. Zhang He couldn't help but blame himself and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't wait for the two generals to arrive."

"No problem!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "You have delayed long enough. Leave it to us next. Zilong, let's go!"

"Go!"

After that, he and Zhao Yun continued to lead the troops to pursue Ma Chao.

Zhang He continued to rest for a while, then looked up at the bloody battlefield, and a proud smile appeared on his blood-stained face.

"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is nothing more than this!"

...

In Chang'an City, the General's Mansion.

Raging fires burned everywhere in the mansion, and the raging flames and billowing smoke rushed straight to the sky, which could be clearly seen across several streets.

"Cough cough cough——!"

Ma Teng lay in the snow outside the General's Mansion and kept coughing. A lot of his hair and beard were burnt, and his body was covered with stains.

After a long pause, he said to the ordinary-looking man dressed as a servant beside him: "Thank you very much for the rescue, messenger."

The man dressed as a servant was the embroidered messenger.

Ma Chao set fire to the general's mansion. If it weren't for the embroidered messenger who showed up and rescued him from the fire, he would have been burned to death in it.

"It's just a small matter."

The embroidered messenger smiled slightly and said: "Chang'an City has been broken, Ma Chao fled to the west, and the imperial army will soon attack Chang'an."

Hearing this news, Ma Teng was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I knew that the beast was lying to me, how could he defeat the imperial army?"

"By the way, may I ask the messenger... um?"

When Ma Teng came back to his senses, he found that the embroidered messenger who had been talking to him had disappeared without a trace.

"It's really elusive..."

Ma Teng was secretly shocked, but soon immersed in the joy of regaining his freedom, he got up and went towards the city gate.
