Chapter 288

In the Chinese army tent, Zhang maxillofacial color heavy walked in.

Liu Ye sees Zhang jaw this pair of appearance, can't help but ask: "meaningful meaning, how many casualties today?"

"Six hundred people died in the war and three hundred casualties, including the losses of the past few days, nearly 3000 elite soldiers have been lost in our army!" Zhang's face was ugly. "My Lord, when can Ma Chao attack Tongguan? If it goes on like this, feint attack will soon become the main attack."

Hearing Zhang jaw's complaint, Liu Ye couldn't help smiling and comforting him: "juan Yi is at ease. Don't be impatient. Today's project is hard. Let's go down and have a good rest. Take care of the enemy's attack on the camp at night."

Zhang jaw stuffy voice way: "here." Then he went back with a gloomy face.

And wait for Zhang jaw just out of the camp, Liu Ye immediately said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, how many days has Meng Qi set out?"

When Jia Xu heard Liu Ye's inquiry, he was not in a hurry. He said, "general, Ma Xiaowei leads 3000 cavalry. When he receives the general's order from Wuwei, he sends troops from Wuwei. It should be these days."

Liu Ye nodded: "well, these days continue to attack the city, always pay attention to the trend of Tongguan, pay so much damage, can't pay in vain."

Although 30000 troops have been brought in with great fanfare this time, 20000 of them are civilian soldiers, mainly to deter the enemy troops in the direction of Tongguan. It is impossible to let the civilian soldiers attack the city and suffer heavy losses. It is very likely that the enemy will be aware of the heavy losses.

In recent days, nearly 3000 soldiers were killed and injured, of whom 1700 were injured. The rest were seriously injured and could not go to war. These people were all elite people who had crawled out of the bloody sea of corpses in the battle of Liangzhou and the Yellow turban rebellion. Liu Ye was also very distressed.

Jia Xu nodded, but he didn't think much about it. If he attacked Tongguan, he was afraid to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers. Now he is using his strategy, and the loss of 1700 people is very good.

At the beginning, Niu Fu was quite at a loss when facing the elite Liangzhou soldiers. However, with Tongguan's high and deep city defense, he blocked several waves of Liangzhou soldiers' attacks. After that, Niu Fu was at ease, and even held a banquet after defeating a fierce attack by Zhang jaw organization.

At this time, Weihe River.

In the darkness, an iron horse moved quietly from the side of the Weihe River. The people were strangled and the horses were holding pieces, so they didn't make much noise.

"Gao Hui, you lead a small group of men and horses to try the depth of the tributaries here and prepare to cross the river."

A small group of cavalry went away. The speaker was a young general, dressed in silver and white armor, wearing a lion's head ghost helmet, and a Sirius gun in his hand. His face was young and his spirit was full of vigor. It was Ma Chao who made a big splash among the Qiang people in Pingding.

After receiving Liu Ye's secret order, in order to prevent Dong Jun's spies from finding out the movement of troops and horses, Liu Ye did not mobilize troops from Chang'an or Yongzhou, but did the opposite. Ma Chao led 3000 troops from Wuwei and traveled a long way with enough dry food.

After a while, the little officer Gao Hui reported: "Captain Ma, the water here is shallow, suitable for our army to cross the river."

Ma Chao nods, and his actions are not consistent with his age.

"The whole army will cross the river and kill Tongguan!"

At this time, it was the shallow water period. As a great river in Guanzhong, the Weihe River also had a small flow. Ma Chao specially selected a branch of Weihe River that was uninhabited. Therefore, it was easy for 3000 iron horses to cross the Weihe River.

After a while, the first batch of Liangzhou cavalry finally got to the opposite bank. The horses leaped their hooves and threw out the water drops. They were full of energy.

In less than two quarters of an hour, three thousand iron horses had already crossed the Weihe River. Ma Chao couldn't help smiling.

"March

Three thousand steeds went away, followed Ma Chao, and merged themselves into the rolling torrent, becoming one of the invincible groups and galloping forward.

Night is the best talisman for cavalry. With all their efforts, the tall walls of Tongguan are soon exposed to Ma Chao.

He stretched out his hand and gently pulled down the iron cover of the lion's head ghost helmet, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes. Ma Chao held up his Sirius gun and pointed it at Tongguan.

"Break Tongguan, catch cattle alive!"

Three thousand steeds roared in unison.

"Break Tongguan, catch cattle alive!"

The roar of killing shocked the world and shook the fields. The three thousand steeds rolled forward like a torrent of steel. The heavy hooves pounded on the ground as if a hammer had fallen. The three thousand steeds pulled out their sabers from their waists in a neat and uniform way, shining brightly in the dark.

Ma Chao rushed to Tongguan city first. His left and right guns were as fast as lightning. He killed two soldiers, Dong Zhuo, and jumped into Tongguan with his gun.

Three thousand iron cavalry, like clouds, rushed into Tongguan, and the patrol officer Dong Zhuo was shocked.

"The enemy troops have entered Tongguan. Let's run."

"My God, how did they get in? It's a heavenly weapon. It's a divine weapon. It's heaven. "

In Tongguan, the soldiers of Dong Zhuo were in a mess. They were gathered into a group of Liangzhou iron cavalry, and killed and wounded hundreds of people. However, there were some low-level officers and brave soldiers in the army, who took up weapons and calmly responded to the battle. At the same time, they yelled at the defeated soldiers and gathered with them."Liangzhou soldiers are going to die!"

Dong Junshi, one of them with big arms and round waist, opened his eyes and raised his swords with all his strength. He was about to split a Liangzhou cavalry company and his horse in two.

When!

The front of the Sirius spear suddenly came and resisted the knife. Then, like an antelope hanging horn, it suddenly stabbed from a strange angle. The commander of Dong Jun was stunned, covered his neck, fell down slowly, and blood overflowed from his five fingers.

Ma Chao sneered: "hum, you can't stand a blow!"

At this time, some soldiers had already run to niufu hall.

"Niu Zhonglang! No, the enemy troops have entered Tongguan! "

A bloody Dong Zhuojun knelt in the hall, his face full of panic.

Niu Fu got angry and grabbed his collar: "what do you say? Liangzhou soldiers are still outside the pass. How could they possibly enter Tongguan? Can they become the enemy's commander and fly over Tongguan

"I don't know, but there are a lot of Xiliang cavalry in the city. Everyone is fighting the enemy to death."

Liu Shi got up and said, "it should not be too late. Someone should first mobilize troops to snipe at the enemy in the city. Niu Zhonglang, please come as soon as possible."

Niu Fu nodded and said that Liu Zhi immediately jumped forward to mobilize the troops.

"Damn it, if you lose Tongguan, you will lose your head." Niu Fu didn't dare to think about it. He ordered his soldiers to gather together and drove out with a spear.
