RNP Chapter 200
Chapter 200
The situation on the battlefield is one-sided.
The soldiers of the Cao army frantically pursued the Yizhou soldiers, arrogantly and raging like wolves chasing small sheep.
It wasn't until sunset that the war gradually subsided.
The generals of the various armies returned to the camp one after another to report to Cao Cao.
In this battle, nearly 30,000 enemies were killed and nearly 50,000 surrendered.
Most of those who surrendered were generals loyal to Liu Zhang.
Cao Cao treated the surrendered generals well, gave them additional officials and knights, and was incorporated into the Cao army sequence.
That night, Cao Jun had a feast in the army and had fun with the soldiers.
And in the city of Ba County, the army generals are restless.
talked about Liu Bei's usurpation, and some people were even ready to go out of the city to join Cao's army.
Although it was not Cao Jun who voted, it was the lord Liu Zhang who ran.
The news came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Liu Bei's old face was elongated.
Zhang Fei clasped his hands into fists: "Big brother, I'll go to patrol the camp, if someone really wants to vote for Cao Jun, I will whip him on the spot!"
Liu Bei didn't speak, his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, never!" "
Strategist, why can't?" Zhang Fei spoke.
Zhuge Liang didn't explain, but looked at Fazheng.
"Hey!" Fa Zheng sighed: "If General Yide whips those who have the heart to join Cao to death, it will only make more Yizhou soldiers resist, and finally shake the foundation of the entire army
!" "Then what should I do?" Zhang Fei said: "You can't condone them to vote for Cao Cao, right?"
"Hey!" Fa Zheng sighed: "This battle is unfavorable, the responsibility
lies with me!" Liu Bei shook his head: "The fault of this battle lies with me Liu Bei, and it has nothing to do with filial piety!" Zhuge Liang shook his head
: " Who would have expected that Liu Zhang would flee to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would hold high Liu Zhang's banner again
!" "Yes!" Fa Zheng nodded.
After thousands of calculations, it was not calculated that Liu Zhang would be in Cao Ying.
Liu Zhang's appearance on the battlefield directly led to the discouragement of the Yizhou army and the lack of intention of the soldiers to fight.
The odds of winning were all gone.
Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "Two military advisors, there are no outsiders here, what do you have to say!"
Fa Zheng looked at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also looked at Guan Zheng.
In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who took the lead in speaking
: "Lord, Ba County can't hold it!" Fa Zheng continued: "It's better to retreat to Chengdu as soon as possible
!" "Retreat to Chengdu?" Liu Bei was surprised: "There are Dongguang Hancheng and Hanyang City behind Ba County, why do you want to retreat to Chengdu?" Zhuge Liang said: "Whether it is Dongguang Hancheng or Hanyang City, it can't stop Cao Cao, and Chengdu can only hold on to it!" "That's right!"
Fa
Zheng nodded: " Cao's army is strong, what is the reason for it, our army will not be able to retreat
back to Chengdu!" Zhuge Liang said: "The lord left a general to guard the city, you can personally lead the main force back to Chengdu!" "
Who can stay in Ba County?" Liu Bei asked.
"Ma Chao!" Zhuge Liang said: "Leave him to stick to Ba County
!" Fa Zheng said again: "Deng Xian and Wu Dun defend Dongguang Hancheng and Hanyang City respectively
!" "Okay!" Liu Bei nodded: "Just according to the words of the two military advisors
!" "The lord is wise!" The two of them gave up their hands one after another.
That night, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to reorganize his soldiers and horses.
Three days later, he led the main force to withdraw from Ba County.
Only 10,000 horses were left for Ma Chao.
The news reached the Cao army camp.
Cao Cao summoned Chao Rui to discuss countermeasures with him.
"Xianzhi, Liu Bei has retreated, Ma Chao is stubbornly defending Bajun, what do you think
?" Chao Rui shook his head: "Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are poisonous enough!" "
How can you see it?" Cao Cao looked at Chao Rui puzzled.
Chao Rui explained
: "This Ma Chao first voted for Zhang Lu and then Liu Bei, but his roots are in Xiliang
!" "In the final analysis, the reason why he succumbed to Liu Bei was because his common enemies with Liu Bei were all prime ministers
!" "Now Liu Bei himself is difficult to protect, so he can only leave Ma Chao Shouba County as cannon fodder
!" "Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded: "What you said makes sense!"
Chao Rui said again: " Now the Yizhou army and people are unstable, and the main forces of Ma Chao's subordinates are all Yizhou soldiers, when the thunder breaks through
Ma Chao!" "Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled: "With Ma Chao's cunning character, he will never defend
Ba County!" "That's right!" Chao Rui nodded: "Ma Chao has been broken, Hanyang and Dongguang Hancheng will not be a problem
!" "Okay!" Cao Cao said: "Pass my order, order Xu Chu, Lu Bu is the vanguard, after dawn, give me a day and night storm Ba County!"
The prime minister is wise!" Chao Rui clasped his hands into fists.
After dawn, Cao's army marched towards the city of Bajun.
The vanguard army followed one after another, and climbed the city without dying.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai personally supervised the battle at the head of the city, and those who retreated died.
But even so, the Yizhou soldiers were still not brave in battle.
All day long, the walls were smashed out of holes.
Ma Chao personally led his troops to defend and plugged the hole.
But late that night, Cao Jun opened a gap from other places.
For a day and a night, the Cao army besieging the city kept falling, but people kept coming up.
And the Yizhou army in the city has become more and more tired.
Ma Dai took advantage of the free time to eat supper and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I'm afraid this Ba County can't
hold it!" Ma Chao shook his head: "There are still thousands of people and horses in the city, at least they can stop
the Cao army for half a month!" Ma Dai shook his head:
"According to the conventional way of playing, it is indeed possible to hold on for more than half a month
!" "But now the form is different, the Cao army is attacking day and night, and it is no longer fatal!"
The most important thing is that
the Yizhou army thinks of Liu Zhang, and they are not brave in battle, so they secretly release water!" Ma Chao nodded: "I know, the Yizhou army thinks of Liu Zhang
!" "Yes!" Ma Dai nodded: "They may not know who they are fighting for, where can such a military horse stop
Cao Cao?" "Hey!" Ma Chao sighed: "Cao Cao won't give us the slightest chance to breathe
!" Ma Dai said: "At most three or five days and nights, Bajun City will definitely be breached!"
"Ru Heyi?" Ma Chao said.
Ma Dai said: "My suggestion is that you and I lead the troops to retreat tomorrow night, leaving Ba County to the Yizhou soldiers!" Ma
Chao shook his head: "If we retreat, Ba County will inevitably be lost, the lord..."
Ma Dai nodded: "Let's preserve our strength and go
to Nanzhong to occupy a place and become the king!" Ma Chao said: "Nanzhong Meng is the king, can this person tolerate
us?" "Does he dare not take you in?" Ma Dai asked Ma Chao rhetorically, and then said: "Cao Cao will set foot in Nanzhong sooner or later, as long as Meng Huo is not a fool, he will definitely give us a place to stay
!" "Okay!" Ma Chao nodded: "Then listen to you, tomorrow night, you and I will lead the elite of our headquarters to leave Ba County, and throw this broken city to their Yizhou soldiers!" "
Hmm!" Ma Dai nodded.
At sunrise, the siege battle gradually subsided.
Cao's army began to retreat.
But only half an hour later, Cao's army attacked again.
Hit from morning to night.
At the third watch in the night, Ma Chao and Ma Dai quietly fled out of the city with thousands of soldiers and horses.
The Ba County Guard was directly sold.
As soon as dawn, the Yizhou garrison of Ba County surrendered to Cao's army.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately led his troops into Ba County to station.
