Chapter 75 Dingjun Mountain (III)

However, Xiahou Yuan retreated after his defeat, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong chased after him, and they chased Xiahou Yuan tightly along the way, as if they could catch up at any time.

Huang Zhong was behind, holding a bow in his hand, and putting a feather arrow on the bow with his right hand, ready to shoot it out at any time. However, he chased after him for a long time and never found a good opportunity.

At this time, the two armies rushed to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and Xiahou Yuan led the army to retreat to the big village on the mountain. However, Huang Zhong and others chased each other too tightly behind him. If they rushed back to the camp like this, they would probably lose the big village in the chaos. Just as they were thinking about what to do, a soldier suddenly rushed out of the roadside. Xiahou Yuan suddenly heard the sound of shouting for killing, and changed his face, saying that Huang Zhong had set up an ambush here first. He shouted in his heart: "My life is over!"

Unexpectedly, before he could say this, he heard a shout: "General Xiahou, don't panic! The last general will help you retreat!" Xiahou Yuan heard the sound and realized that the army was his own army. He was so confused that he didn't see clearly. At this time, he calmed down and looked at the army carefully.

After looking closely, he realized that this was the army he left in the village. The leader was Sima in the army, with Guo's surname, Huai's name, Boji, and a native of Yangqu, Taiyuan. He had been guarding Guanzhong area with him. This time he advanced, he came out, but he did not expect to save his life here.

At this time, the pursuers had been killed by Guo Huai's ambush, and a bunch of soldiers fought together, and it was difficult to separate them. Xiahou Yuan stood at a high place, so he saw it very clearly. Seeing that Huang Zhong and Ma Chao had only thousands of men, they were fighting with more than 10,000 soldiers on his side, he was a little surprised and suspicious of his soldiers' good fighting. However, at this time, Guo Huai was beaten up by a poor man, and he occupied the high place. Huang Zhong's troops gradually fell into a disadvantage. Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Xiahou Yuan endured the arrow wound on his body, and ordered the left and right: "The whole army will go back and join the army with Guo Sima!" The left and right guards immediately passed the order, and the thousands of soldiers at Xiahou Yuan immediately changed direction and killed him down the mountain again.

But Huang Zhong and Ma Chao chased after this. When they were about to catch up, they suddenly heard a shout of killing sound from the side. Then a Cao soldier suddenly came out and killed his own side in chaos. He hurriedly called Ma Chao over and said, "I don't know who has set up an ambush here. Now we are in a hustle. If we don't retreat early, we may die here."

Ma Chao was about to continue to kill, but after seeing the situation around him, he found that his soldiers had been surrounded by Cao's soldiers and were killed. If he did not retreat, he would be afraid that the army would be gone. So he said hatefully: "What the old general said is very much. The old general retreats first, Chao will stop himself!" After that, he led more than a hundred personal soldiers to kill him fiercely, blocking Cao's soldiers from the original place and not being able to advance.

When Huang Zhong saw Ma Chao brave, Cao's soldiers were unable to advance, so he ordered the soldiers on both sides to retreat quickly and led the army to slowly retreat. Xiahou Yuan looked up and shouted loudly: "Don't let that old man escape!"

At that time, Guo Huai had already arrived at Xiahou Yuan and said to him: "General, don't worry, you will definitely not be able to escape this old man!"

Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What kind of tricks does Boji have?"

Guo Huai said: "I am ambushed at the foot of the mountain when Xiahou Shang and Han Hao are about to retreat, and lead the troops to attack him."

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said to Guo Huai: "Boji is really a talented person. With Boji here, why worry about Hanzhong being all over Liu Bei?" After saying that, he wanted to lead the army to pursue Huang Zhong and others. Guo Huai hurriedly said: "The general is injured. Let the last general do the work of chasing the enemy!" Xiahou Yuan followed him and asked Zhang He and Guo Huai to chase down the mountain together, and be sure to take Huang Zhong down. He was shot by Huang Zhong, and he hated him.

At this time, Ma Chao also led his troops to retreat. He and Huang Zhong's more than 4,000 soldiers fought for a while, and only more than 2,000 were still by his side. When Ma Chao caught up with Huang Zhong, he felt sad and said to Huang Zhong: "I first lost the Dingjun Mountain Village, and now I have broken so many soldiers and horses. What are the faces of going to see the emperor?"

Huang Zhong comforted: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, so don't be discouraged by General Ma." He said righteously, and suddenly heard a sound of drums on both sides. Huang Zhong's face changed drastically and said anxiously: "No, there is an ambush here, so hurry forward and rush out of here!"

Ma Chao was about to thank Huang Zhong for his comforting words, but suddenly he heard the drum sound, his face changed several times, and shouted: "General Huang and I are brave enough to move forward bravely and fight for his soldiers." Ma Chao broke all the formations and felt no longer in his heart's original arrogance. Now he just wants to save his soldiers and fight out together, otherwise all the soldiers will be lost and he will be in no way to meet Liu Bei.

Huang Zhong didn't know what Ma Chao was thinking. When he heard Ma Chao's words, he shouted: "Today I'm fighting with these Cao soldiers!" He waved his sword in his hand and slapped the horse forward and rushed forward. No one could stop him wherever he passed. In addition, Ma Chao was beside him, and the two cavalry rushed forward, and a bloody hole was made out of the ambush and brought out the two thousand soldiers under him.

Cao generals Xiahou Shang and Han Hao were ambushing each other on both sides, but now they did not stop each other, but instead asked him to escape, with an ugly face. Xiahou Shang said: "Now I'll tell him to run away like this. I will definitely be punished when I go back. I will catch up for a while, maybe I can make some military achievements and look better when I go back."

Han Hao replied, "What he said is very true!" Then he joined forces with Xiahou Shang, and the two generals led their troops to chase Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. They followed him straight from the foot of Dingjun Mountain and chased for more than 30 miles.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao ran away, but did not dare to return to the village, so they had to abandon the village and headed for Baocheng. Xiahou Shang and Han Hao seized the village. Seeing that there were countless food and supplies inside, they were overjoyed and said that they must have made a contribution. Han Hao said, "Now Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were killed, and they were defeated. They were only concerned about running for their lives and did not dare to turn back. It would be better if we continued to chase them, we would definitely achieve great success." When Xiahou Shang heard this, he thought of the embarrassment that Ma Chao and Huang Zhong had been chasing Ma Chao and Huang Zhong before, so he replied, "Great sanity, you and I should chase them immediately." The two left some soldiers and horses to take care of the village, and led the rest of the soldiers to continue chasing the two.

Not long after, Guo Huai and Zhang He led a large army to come. Seeing that the camp had been taken away, Xiahou Shang and Han Hao were not seen, so he called a soldier and asked, "Where have Xiahou Shang and Han Hao left?" The soldier replied, "The two generals led most of the troops and chased Ma Chao and Huang Zhong."

When Guo Huai heard this, he said anxiously: "These two people are so eager to succeed, they will definitely suffer a loss!" Then he said to Zhang He: "General Zhang, please catch up with me quickly."

Zhang He said: "Why is Guo Sima so anxious?"

Guo Huai said: "Ma Chao and Huang Zhong did not enter the Dazhai, but fled to the southeast. This is to go to Baocheng. There is Yu Jin garrison under Baocheng. I think it is to go to here because I want to join the place."

Zhang He was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Then Yu Jin's army is far away from this. Is Sima Guo too worried?"

Guo Huai replied: "How far is Yu Jin from here? However, the general forgot Pang De and Ma Daihu? First, General Xiahou easily captured Dingjun Mountain. First, Ma Chao was negligent in defense, and second, his troops were not at hand. Most of his troops were all under Pang De and Ma Dai, and he was stationed between Dingjun Mountain and Baocheng. Xiahou Shang and Han Hao chased after him so eagerly, fearing that he was called Pang De, and Ma Dai led his army to abdicate."

Zhang He was anxious and said, "What Guo Sima said is so much, we should go and call back the two of them quickly." So Guo Huai led his troops to chase Xiahou Shang.

Besides, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao fled all the way, but they turned around and could no longer see Cao Bing, so they felt relieved. Huang Zhong recalled the danger just now and said to Ma Chao: "Today we want to kill Xiahou Yuan, but we were almost killed by Xiahou Yuan. It seems that you and I underestimate the enemy too much."

Ma Chao said: "You and I were defeated by Xiahou Yuan, but I didn't want to be ambushed. I think there are talented people around him."

Huang Zhong said: "I think this is the case, otherwise Xiahou Yuanding would not have thought of such a plan." Huang Zhong felt a little cold when he thought of those two ambushes.

While he was talking, a shout of killing sounded from behind. Huang Zhong looked back, but saw that Cao's soldiers were coming again. Seeing that Ma Chao was about to return to fight, he advised: "Now that our army's morale has been lost, so we should leave this place quickly."

When Ma Chao heard this, he knew that Huang Zhong was saying something very well, so he and Huang Zhong led the troops to continue to go southeast. Halfway through the way, he suddenly heard a cannon sound on the mountain. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were shocked when they heard the sound. Huang Zhong even said, "Who is the one who can escape from now on? Is it that the heaven wants to destroy me?"

As he was shouting, Ma Chao beside him was overjoyed and shouting to him: "Don't be surprised by the old general Huang, it's my brother here!" Huang Zhong heard this and looked in the direction Ma Chao pointed, and saw Qiang soldiers fighting left and right, with one general on both sides, Pang De, and Ma Dai was the right. He heard Ma Dai holding a knife and shouting: "Brother, don't be surprised! Ma Dai is here!"

The two generals led the Qiang soldiers into the Cao soldiers, and killed them in a mess, killing Xiahou Shang and Han Hao's army into chaos. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong saw it and hurriedly said, "This is a good opportunity to retreat to the enemy!" The two then led the troops back and killed them again.

Xiahou Shang and Han Hao had already caught up with Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, but they didn't expect that there was still Liu Bing ambush here, and they were beaten up so hard that they were beaten up. The soldiers and horses under them were attacked from three sides, which was in chaos, and even hurriedly trampled on their own people to death.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly said, "The situation is not good, so you should retreat quickly!" However, the soldiers and horses under their command were entangled by the enemy soldiers and could not escape, so they could only lead a few soldiers to break out of the battle group and want to run back.

Huang Zhong saw it clearly in the distance and cursed: "Cao Jun, where can I escape?" He activated the war horse under his crotch, chased forward for a while, took out the longbow with his left hand, and picked out a feather arrow with his right hand. He set the arrow and shot Han Hao with one arrow.
