    That roar of "kill" was so powerful that it drowned out the shouts of thousands of enemies.

    The enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the three armies was instantly ignited by Yan Liang's violent shout.

    "kill¡ª¡ª"

    The officers and soldiers of Yan's army, who had been silent for a long time, roared in unison, like a rainbow, piercing the dark night.

    The big black horse's hooves were flying, the cold light of the green dragon sword was flowing, and Yan Liang was like the black lightning, breaking through the wind.

    The sound of the sky falling and the earth cracking followed.

    Groups of Yan Jun officers and soldiers, like a torrent bursting from a dike, burst out, passed through the empty military tents, and went straight to the front line of the camp gate to kill.

    The mighty military power shook the heaven and earth, and tens of thousands of soldiers, like ghost legions from hell, suddenly appeared from the darkness.

    At this time, the 20,000 Shu army led by Ma Chao's men had just broken through the antlers and camp fence and rushed into Yan camp.

    The Shu army, which was originally demoralized, was extremely surprised when they saw that they could break into the enemy camp. They thought that their strategy was successful and they could finally wash away all the shame with a victory.

    However, their dreams and confidence did not last for a moment before they were shattered by the sudden appearance of Yan Jun's troops.

    Didn¡¯t the generals say that Yan Jun was completely defenseless? Then where did this huge crowd of Yan Jun come from?  ?

    The confidence of the Shu army fell instantly, leaving only panic.

    Ma Chao's confidence as he rode in also turned into ice in an instant.

    Looking at the endless waves of enemies coming, Ma Chaoru was struck by thunder, and there were only three words left in his mind:

    You fell into the trap!

    ¡°That fellow Yan Liang actually expected that I would come to rob the camp. How is this possible¡ª¡ª¡±

    Ma Chao knew that Yan Liang was deceitful, but he couldn't reason. Yan Liang was so deceitful that he could even tell when he robbed the camp.

    Of course Ma Chao, who was frightened, had no idea that the reason Yan Liang was prepared was because Lei Tong acted as an internal agent.

    "Withdraw your troops, withdraw your troops quickly¡ª¡ª"

    Ma Chao, knowing that he had fallen into the trap, turned his horse around and ran away without thinking too much.

    The Shu army that had just poured into Yan Camp quickly collapsed like the ebbing sea water.

    The front army and the rear army were crowded and crowded with each other. More than 20,000 Shu troops were blocked along the line of the camp. How could they retreat in a moment?

    And at the moment when the Shu army fell into brief chaos, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wu Lan, Ma Dai and even Zhou Cang and other Yan army generals all led their troops to kill the generals.

    Yan's army, numbering fifty to sixty thousand, was divided into several groups and came out in full force. Like a sharp arrow that broke off the string, it shot at the frightened prey of the Shu army.

    Screams suddenly broke out, and people fell on their backs.

    In the center, veteran general Huang Zhong took the lead, taking the lead in ramming his army into the enemy army and cutting the chaotic Shu army into two sections.

    The Shu army was in disarray and could only throw away their helmets and armor and flee, but they became the targets of the Yan army's pursuit and killing.

    The bloody killing began.

    The Xiliang soldiers under Ma Chao and Pang De had quite a few cavalry. When they saw the Yan army coming, they immediately abandoned the Shu soldiers and infantry, turned around and looked for the wind and fled.

    To the east, Wu Yi's troops were not so lucky.

    The infantry under his command were basically all Shu infantry. Not long after the battle, they were divided and surrounded by Yan Jun's light cavalry, and fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own.

    "General Lei, we have fallen into a trap. You and I must gather our troops and kill the general from the southwest together." Wu Yi, whose face was covered in sweat, shouted loudly.

    Lei Tong rode up and said loudly: "General Ziyuan goes first, and I will cut off the rear for you later."

    When Wu Yi was worried that no one would stop him, when he saw Lei Tong volunteering, he couldn't help but feel happy. He turned around and tried to escape.

    Because just when Wu Yi turned around, the Thunder Bronze Monkey stretched out his arm, and the hammer in his hand suddenly shot out, hitting Wu Yi in the back.

    Wu Yi, who was caught off guard, groaned, his eyes blurred, and he fell down under the horse.

    Lei Tong sneered, stretched out his hand to lift Wu Yi who was unconscious, then turned his horse back toward Yan Ying.

    In the night, the tragic sound shook the sky and the earth.

    Taking advantage of the cavalry, Generals Ma Chao and Pang De led more than a hundred Xiliang cavalry and fled southward, escaping from the battlefield before Yan Jun's encirclement was completed.

    The 20,000 Shu troops left behind by Ma Chao just delayed Yan Jun's pursuit, allowing him to escape smoothly and ascend to heaven.

    Hearing the shouts of killing in the distance, Ma Chao, who was galloping on his horse, took a long breath and saidZhonghenhen said: "I didn't expect the dog thief named Yan to be so cunning and see through my plan to rob the camp."

    "General, our army has almost suffered losses. We only have a hundred or so cavalry left. What should we do next?" Pang De, who was still following, asked anxiously.

    Ma Chao glanced around, his bloody face showing a bit of sadness.

    When Liu Zhang surrendered, he still had 10,000 Xiliang warriors under his command. After these battles, only a hundred riders were left.

    At this time, Ma Chao can be said to have lost all his capital.

    "We can gather together again if our troops are gone. As long as I, Ma Chao, am still alive, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow him. Let's go back to Luocheng first and let Liu Xun return to Chengdu."

    Even after being defeated to such a miserable level, Ma Chao's arrogance was still not shattered.

    There was a dark cloud in Pang De's eyes, but he still followed Ma Chao silently, all the way towards Luocheng.

    At this time, Liu Xun was standing at the top of Luocheng, anxiously waiting for news of the night attack.

    The shouts of killing from several miles away were like needles, provoking his fragile nerves all the time.

    "My ancestors bless my Liu family and my son, please bless me to win this battle"

    Liu Xun's request was quickly answered. In the darkness, the sound of horse hooves was clearly approaching.

    Liu Xun thought it was someone reporting victory, so he ordered a torch to be lit to see what happened.

    "I am Ma Mengqi, let me enter the city quickly¡ª¡ª"

    Liu Xun was stunned, thinking that even if he wanted to report a victory, Ma Chao should not come in person.

    Suspicious, I looked down by the firelight, and sure enough I saw Ma Chao stationed under the suspension bridge, followed by more than a hundred embarrassed Xiliang soldiers.

    Liu Xun didn't have time to think too much and quickly asked the city gate to be opened and the suspension bridge to be lowered.

    When Ma Chao and his men rode up, Liu Xun had already rushed down the city.

    "Meng Qi, what was the outcome of the attack on the camp? Why didn't you command the battle but came back first?" Liu Xun asked loudly.

    A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ma Chao's face, but he immediately showed extreme indignation and shouted: "There is a spy in our army who revealed our plan to rob the camp to Yan Liang. That guy had prepared it in advance. Our army was hit."  It was an ambush plan, but I fought tooth and nail to fight it out.¡±

    In an instant, Liu Xun was petrified there.

    Suspicion, anxiety, or hope were all gone, leaving only horror and despair on Liu Xun's face.

    "Don't panic, eldest son. There are still tens of thousands of troops in Chengdu, and reinforcements from Nanzhong are on the way. As long as we can keep the people there, there is no need to worry about avenging today's defeat." Ma Chao comforted confidently.

    Liu Xun woke up from a state of despair. At this time, he had no idea. He only asked Ma Chao what he should do now.

    Ma Chao then said that he would first ensure his withdrawal to Chengdu and then make long-term plans.

    By now, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have been wiped out, and there are only a few thousand remnants left in the city. Luocheng can no longer be defended, and the only option is to escape back to Chengdu.

    Liu Xun sighed for a long time, and could only follow Ma Chao's plan, and immediately ordered the remaining troops to retreat from the south gate.

    Just when Liu Xungang was about to leave, Ma Chao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "There are hundreds of thousands of grain and grass in Luocheng. If we withdraw now, wouldn't it be left to Yan Liang? Sir, why don't you let me  Burn all the food and grass everywhere, leaving not a grain of rice for the thief."

    "It's all up to Meng Qi to make the decision." Liu Xun had lost his sense of proportion and had much to worry about, so he hurriedly turned his horse to go ahead.

    As soon as Liu Xun left, Ma Chao immediately issued an order, ordering his cavalry to rush to various granaries and set fire to the treasury in Luocheng.

    At this time, Pang De said: "General, several granaries in the city are adjacent to people's houses. If a fire is set and the fire spreads slightly, the entire Luocheng City may be burned down."

    "It would be better to burn it. It will burn it to a white ground and leave nothing to that thief." Ma Chao said coldly and disdainfully.

    Pang De was shocked and said anxiously: "General, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city. If we set fire to it, wouldn't all the people in the city be burned to death?"

    Ma Chao said coldly: "It's better to burn these useless women and children to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves and aiding the tyrants. If it's not too late, why don't you go and take action quickly."

    Ma Chao's cruelty deeply stimulated Pang De.

    After pondering for a moment, Pang De raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "General, setting fire to women and children is not what a hero would do. Please take back this life, General."

    Pang De, who had been following him for many years, actually resisted the order at this time, and even called him what Ma Chao did, not "a heroic act."After being stunned for a moment, Ma Chao couldn't help but burst into anger and said sternly: "Pang Lingming, you are so brave, you dare to ridicule me, do you want to rebel?"

    Faced with Ma Chao's rebuke, Pang De just said silently: "How dare you, general? I just think that the general's move is too cruel. If word spreads about it, the world will laugh at the general for killing women and children who have no strength to restrain a chicken. Isn't it harmful?"  The reputation of the general."

    Pang De¡¯s words, instead of persuading Ma Chao, made Ma Chao even more angry.

    Ma Chao glared at Pang De and said sternly: "I, Ma Chao, can kill whoever I want. These useless guys should all be killed. I don't care what others say. Pang De, let me ask you again, what do you want?"  Do you want to listen to the general¡¯s orders?¡±

    With a sharp shout, Ma Chao had already tightened his grip on the silver gun in his hand, and murderous intent was already gushing out in his eyes.

    Facing the crazy Ma Chao, Pang De secretly gritted his teeth and hesitated in his eyes, as if he was engaged in a complex psychological struggle.

    After hesitating for a long time, Pang De sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Such a disgraceful behavior makes it difficult for me to obey my order. I will once again beg the general to take back my order."

    Ma Chao was angry, more angry than ever before, and his face turned red as fire.

    "Okay, Ma Dai betrayed me, and now even you, a general of my Ma family, dare to disobey my orders. Pang De, I think you want to die¡ª¡ª"

    Ma Chao, who was extremely angry, suddenly swung the silver spear in his hand while scolding, and suddenly stabbed Pang De.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
