    The battle between Ma Chao and Xu Chu shocked and excited all the soldiers on both sides inside and outside Chencang City.

    At night, everything is quiet.

    Everyone seemed to be tired. Apart from the chirping of summer insects and the banging of the clock, no other sounds could be heard.

    At the third watch, the night becomes quieter.

    The west gate, south gate, and north gate of Chencang City quietly opened at the same time.

    Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Teng each led a group of soldiers and horses and went in different directions.

    The method Ma Teng thought of yesterday was to withdraw troops in three directions.

    Ma Xiu and Ma Tie led 10,000 soldiers and horses to retreat along the Qinling Trail towards Tianshui.  Ma Chao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw towards Xiaoguan.  Ma Teng personally led five thousand soldiers and horses to retreat towards Dingxi.

    Jia Xu claims to have left out everything, but Ma Teng doesn't believe it. There will be ambushes in these three directions.  What's more, there had just been a big battle during the day, and he left that night, which was surprisingly difficult.

    Ma Teng led five thousand troops and arrived at Sanguan in less than half an hour.

    The terrain of Sanguan is so dangerous that no matter how many troops and horses there are, they cannot deploy, so Ma Teng leads the fewest troops.

    As soon as they approached the pass, Xiahou Dun led his army to rush out and blocked all the way.

    "Ma Teng, Xiahou Dun has been waiting here for a long time, why don't you get off your horse and be bound!"

    Ma Teng didn¡¯t panic at all, and didn¡¯t say much. He commanded his soldiers to rush over and the two sides fought together.

    The loud shouts of killing and the soaring flames outside the pass soon alerted Ma Dai, who was guarding the pass.

    Ma Dai also knew the news of Tianshui's loss, so he never took off his armor or saddled his horse no matter day or night.

    After hearing the cry of killing, he immediately went to the pass and looked out. In the light of the fire, he found his uncle Ma Teng leading his army to fight fiercely with Xiahou Dun.

    Ma Dai immediately ordered his troops and horses to prepare to leave the customs.

    "General, there is an arrow letter from outside the pass!" A soldier hurriedly ran over, holding an arrow in his hand, with a letter tied to the arrow, and handed it to Ma Dai.

    Ma Dai opened the letter and read it carefully. His hands were trembling, and his face was full of sadness and helplessness.

    "Uncle" Ma Dai was in agony, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

    Ma Dai put the letter away, waved his sword in his hand, and led his soldiers towards the back gate.

    Before leaving the pass, Xiahou Shang led three thousand soldiers and horses to ambush on both sides of the pass, waiting for Ma Dai to leave the pass.  But after waiting for a long time, Ma Dai did not come out, so he sent someone to enter the pass and found that it was empty.

    After Xiahou Shang learned of the situation, he quickly reported to Xiahou Dun.  When Xiahou Dun heard this, he ordered Xiahou Shang to lead his army to pursue him and never let Ma Dai leave.

    Ma Teng only had five thousand soldiers and horses, and Xiahou Dun had the dual advantages of numbers and location. It was only a matter of time before he was annihilated.

    Xiahou Shang led his army to pursue them for more than ten miles, but there was still no sign of Ma Dai and the Xiliang army.

    "General, this place is dangerous and there may be an ambush!" Army Commander Ma Huangyi reminded Xiahou Shangdao.

    Xiahou Shang looked up and saw towering mountains on both sides. They were dark and looked very dangerous.  A ray of moonlight shot out from the gap in the mountains and fell on the ground, giving a little light.

    The gloomy air was filled with the smell of death. Xia Houshang secretly screamed that something was wrong and immediately gave the order!

    "Quickly retreat!"

    "Kill!" At this moment, a cry of killing came out, countless stones rolled down from the mountains on both sides, and at the same time a group of soldiers and horses came out.

    "Ah" The soldiers of Cao's army were caught off guard. They were hit by stones and were knocked upside down. Their heads were broken and bleeding, and they became a mess in an instant.

    Ma Dai, the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, led his army into Cao's army, which made the terrified soldiers of Cao's army even worse and fled in all directions.

    "Xiahou Shang, take your life!" Ma Dai killed more than a dozen of Xiahou Shang's guards, rushed over, and struck down with his sword.

    "General, leave quickly!" Army Commander Ma Huang Yi came over with his gun and blocked Ma Dai's sword.

    Xia Houshang fled in a hurry, surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses.

    Ma Dai killed Huang Yi in just three rounds. Seven to eight hundred Cao Jun corpses were left in the valley, and the rest fled.

    "Withdraw!" Ma Dai did not bother to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and led his army to leave in a hurry.

    Before leaving the customs, a fierce battle was coming to an end.  The mountains and plains were littered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides, and rivers of blood flowed from them.

    The Xiliang army had less than 500 soldiers, and most of them were wounded. They were besieged by Cao's army.

    Ma Teng was covered in blood, and even his horse was red.?

    "Ma Teng, you are at the end of the road, so be patient and leave your body intact!" Xiahou Dun said loudly, asking the soldiers to stop the siege.

    "I am the governor of Yongzhou after General Fubo. How can I surrender to the Han thief Cao Cao!" Ma Teng pointed his big gun at Xiahou Dun. "Although I am dead now, someone will definitely take the head of the thief Cao Cao."  , avenge me!"

    "Ha" Xiahou Dun laughed wildly, "Ma Teng, stop dreaming. My lord has laid a dragnet and ambushed you from all sides. You rebellious officials and traitors will not be able to escape! After today, there will be no more Xiliang Ma family!"

    After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Ma Teng's heart tightened. Can his plan really be hidden from Jia Xu and Liu Ye under Cao Cao's account?

    "Kill them all, leave no one behind!" Xiahou Dun ordered loudly.

    "Kill!" Countless Cao soldiers rushed forward, and the two sides launched a final decisive battle without any suspense.

    It¡¯s dawn, and the sun shines on the ancient city wall of Chencang.

    As soon as Cao Cao got up, Xu Huang, Liu Ye and Jia Xu came to the commander's tent.

    "Wenhe, Ziyang, you are here so early, but you have good news?"

    "My lord is right, there is good news!" Liu Ye said with a smile on his face, "Ma Teng evacuated last night, and half of Xiliang has returned to my lord!"

    "Have Ma Teng and the rest of them been captured and killed?" Cao Cao asked urgently.

    "My Lord, Ma Xiu Ma Tie was ambushed by the Second Young Master. More than 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 horses were killed. The rest all surrendered. Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were killed by the Second Young Master!" Jia Xu said.

    "Zi Wen is brave, good!" Cao Cao was very happy when he heard that Cao Zhang had killed his horse and his horse in succession.

    "General Xiahou Dun intercepted Ma Teng before Sanguan, and in a fierce battle, Ma Teng beheaded him. Only Ma Dai, who was guarding Sanguan, escaped, so he failed to fulfill his full mission!"

    "A kid with a bad mouth slipped through the net, it's not worth mentioning!" Ma Teng died, and Cao Cao was relieved. He didn't take Ma Dai seriously at all, "Where's Ma Chao?"

    "Wen He's prediction was correct. Ma Chao did indeed escape to Xiaoguan. Generals Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu have been waiting with their armies for a long time. Ma Chao will never escape!" Liu Ye added.

    Liu Ye admired Jia Xu very much for the Xiliang army fleeing to Xiaoguan. He never expected it.

    "Report!" At this moment, a soldier ran into the commander's tent and said, "Report to the prince. Generals Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu have led their troops back to the camp and asked to see the prince!"

    "Let them in!"

    "No!"

    When the soldiers went out, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen entered the tent side by side. Holding their helmets in their left hands, they came to Cao Cao's handsome tent and knelt down on their knees.

    "See my lord!"

    "Have you ever killed Ma Chao?"

    "The general is incompetent and allowed the horse to run away. Please punish me, my lord!"

    "What? Ma Chao ran away?" Cao Cao suddenly stood up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
