Chapter 287

In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Jaw walked in with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhang Jaw's appearance, Liu Ye couldn't help asking, "Junyi, how many casualties have there been today?"

"Six hundred were killed in battle and three hundred casualties. Counting the losses in the past few days, our army has almost lost nearly three thousand elite soldiers!" Zhang Jaw's face turned ugly, "My lord, when will Ma Chao attack Tongguan? If this continues, the feint will soon become the main attack."

Hearing Zhang Jaw's complaints, Liu Ye couldn't help but smiled slightly, and comforted him, "Junyi, please be calm, don't be impatient, the project is hard today, let's go down to clean up, rest early, and beware of the enemy attacking the camp at night."

Zhang Jai said in a muffled voice: "Here." After finishing speaking, he walked back with a gloomy face.

And when Zhang Jaw had just walked out of the tent, Liu Ye immediately said in a deep voice, "Wen He, how long has Meng Qi been away?"

When Jia Xu heard Liu Ye's inquiry, he said calmly, "General, Captain Ma led three thousand cavalry. They received the general's order from Wuwei and sent troops from Wuwei without stopping. It should be these few days."

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, continue to attack the city for the past few days, and keep an eye on Tongguan's movements at any time. After paying such a large amount of damage, it must not be paid in vain."

Although 30,000 troops were brought in with great fanfare this time, a full 20,000 of them were civilians, mainly to deter the enemy in the direction of Tongguan. The enemy is aware of it.

In the past few days, nearly 3,000 soldiers have been killed or injured, 1,700 of whom were lost, and the rest were seriously injured and unable to fight. Elite, Liu Ye is also quite heartbroken.

Jia Xu nodded, but he didn't think much about it. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If they attack Tongguan by force, they may not succeed if they sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers. Now that they have used their tactics, the loss of only 1,700 people is already very good.

Niu Fu was quite at a loss when he first faced the elite Liangzhou soldiers. However, relying on Tongguan's tall and deep city defenses, after blocking several waves of Liangzhou soldiers' offensives, Niu Fu finally felt at ease and even repelled the Zhangja organization. After an onslaught, a banquet is held.

And at this time, Weishui.

In the darkness of night, an iron cavalry quietly moved over from the side of the Weishui River. Its mouth was closed and its horse was bitten, so it didn't make much noise.

"Gaohui, you lead a small team to test the depth of the tributaries here, and prepare to cross the river."

A small group of cavalry went away in response. The speaker was a young general, wearing a silver-white battle armor, wearing a lion-headed ghost helmet, a Sirius gun in his hand, and a slightly immature face with a heroic spirit. The showy Ma Chao.

After receiving Liu Ye's secret order, in order to prevent Dong Jun's spies and secret agents from finding out the movement of troops and horses, Liu Ye did not mobilize troops and horses from Chang'an or Yongzhou, but did the opposite, and secretly ordered Ma Chao to lead 3,000 troops from Wuwei. , Take enough dry food for a long journey.

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

Ma Chao nodded, exuding a calmness that didn't match his age.

"The whole army crossed the river and rushed to Tongguan!"

It was the shallow water period at this time, and the Weishui River, as the big river in Guanzhong, also had a small flow, and Ma Chao deliberately chose an uninhabited tributary of the Weishui River, so it was easy for three thousand cavalry to cross the Weishui River.

The war horse suddenly stepped into the water, strode forward with all four hooves, carrying the master on its back and paddled vigorously towards the opposite bank. After a while, the first batch of Liangzhou cavalry finally reached the opposite bank. The drops of water on his body were wiped off, and he was full of energy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all three thousand cavalry had crossed the Wei River, and Ma Chao couldn't help smiling.

"March!"

The three thousand cavalry followed Ma Chao, merged themselves into the torrent, and became a member of this invincible group, galloping forward.

The night is the best amulet for the cavalry, and under the full gallop, the tall city wall of Tongguan was soon exposed to Ma Chao.

Reaching out his hand and gently pulling down the iron cover of the lion-headed ghost helmet, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed. Ma Chao raised the Sirius gun in his hand high, and pointed the gun pointing directly at Tongguan.

"Break through Tongguan and capture Niu Fu alive!"

The three thousand cavalry shouted in unison.

"Break through Tongguan and capture Niu Fu alive!"

The sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering and shook the whole field. The three thousand cavalry rolled forward like a torrent of steel, and their heavy horseshoes struck the ground hard, as if a war hammer had landed. shine.

Ma Chao rushed to the foot of Tongguan city first, shot two left and right shots as fast as lightning, picked and killed two Dong Zhuo soldiers at random, and leaped into Tongguan with his guns on his horse.

Three thousand iron cavalry rushed into Tongguan like a cloud, and the soldiers of Dong Zhuo who were patrolling were shocked when they saw this.

"The enemy army has entered Tongguan, everyone run quickly."

"Oh my god, how did they get in? They are heavenly soldiers, divine soldiers descended from heaven."

Dong Zhuo's soldiers in Tongguan were in a mess, and they were charged by Liangzhou iron cavalry, killing and injuring hundreds of people immediately. Shouting and shouting, the soldiers gathered towards themselves.

"Liangzhou soldiers go to death!"

Dong Junshi, a man with a big arm and a round waist, opened his eyes wide, and raised his sword with both arms, and he was about to split a Liangzhou cavalry man and horse in half.

when!

The spearhead of the Sirius Spear came out of nowhere, parried the knife, and then, like an antelope hanging its horns, it suddenly stabbed obliquely from a strange angle. The head of Dong Jun was stunned, clutched his neck, and fell down slowly. Spilled in five fingers.

Ma Chao sneered: "Hmph, vulnerable!"

At this time, some soldiers had already rushed to Niu Fu Hall.

"Niu Zhonglang! It's not good, the enemy army has entered Tongguan!"

A Dong Zhuojun, who was covered in blood and was struggling to escape, knelt in the hall, his face full of panic.

Niu Fu was furious, and stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "What did you say? Liangzhou soldiers are still outside the pass, how could they enter Tongguan? Could it be that the enemy army has grown wings and flew over Tongguan?"

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

Liu Zhi got up and said: "It's not too late, some people go to mobilize troops and horses to snipe the enemy army in the city first, Niu Zhonglang, please come as soon as possible."

Niu Fu nodded in agreement, Liu Zhi immediately stood up and jumped up, hurriedly going to mobilize troops.

"Damn it, if Tongguan is lost, I won't be able to keep my head." Niu Fu didn't dare to think too much, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to gather, and then drove out with a spear in his hand.
