Chapter 143: Ma Chao’s surprise attack

"Young Master! The enemy is coming!" On the road where Gongsun Zan was chasing Lao Jiang's defeated army, it was Ma Chao who was ambushing him.

It was already midnight, and except for some sentries arranged by Ma Chao, most people were asleep, including Ma Chao himself.

At this time, soldiers had already discovered Gongsun Zan's army. After confirming that Gongsun Zan's troops were resting in the woods not far away, they woke up Ma Chao.

"Ah...are there enemies?" Ma Chao was pushed awake and was still a little confused, but he immediately cheered up after being woken up by his men.

"Young Master, right there!" These three thousand cavalrymen were all soldiers of the Ma family in Xiliang, so they called Ma Chao "Young Master."

"Good guy, there are so many people!" Through the moonlight, Ma Chao saw that the woods at the foot of the hillside were densely packed with moving heads. There were at least thousands of people, including cavalry.

"The enemies are all cavalry. According to the information given by my brother, they are only the princes in Hebei who have cavalry. The ones they use to pursue must be elites. Let them see the difference between their bastard cavalry and our Xiliang elite cavalry.

Let's go!" Ma Chao stood up and mounted his war horse quietly. All the war horses had already been muzzled and their hooves were covered with cloth, so there was almost no sound.

All the Ma Jiajun did not answer, and quickly got on their horses. They used their actions to prove what Ma Chao said.

"Let's go!" Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Ma Chao roared lowly, and the three thousand cavalry began to charge condescendingly.

"Dong dong dong..." A muffled sound that shook the earth gradually came from not far away. The few soldiers in Gongsun Zan's army who had slept lightly were all awakened by this strange sound, and some experienced soldiers

The veteran quickly understood what the sound was.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Several veterans who were close to Ma Chao's army saw the shadow of the cavalry with the help of the sparse moonlight and shouted quickly.

"What's wrong!" Gongsun Zan was also woken up by the soldiers. When he woke up, there were already many soldiers mounted and ready to fight.

"Kill!" Ma Chao took the lead, thrusting his silver spear into the chest of a soldier who had just stood up and was still confused.

The three thousand Ma's army behind Ma Chao divided into several groups, lined up and rushed out from the path in the woods, and began to attack Gongsun's army.

Those soldiers of Gongsun Zan's army who were on the outside before they had time were unlucky. Most of them were killed by the Xiliang army before they even picked up their weapons.

At this time, the Xiliang army was like a ghost coming out of the abyss. They rushed out from nowhere in the night and killed everyone they saw without mercy.

The soldiers in Gongsun Zan's army who reacted quickly ran towards the horses and organized a counterattack.

Those soldiers who responded quickly were fighting in the same place as the Xiliang Army, but the Xiliang Army had the advantage, both in terms of the number of people fighting and their momentum.

The four thousand Gongsun Zan army was actually suppressed and defeated by the Xiliang army despite their numerical superiority. This seems to prove what Ma Chao said before.

But as the sound of cavalry's iron hooves approached, the Xiliang army's advantage came to an end.

"Brother! I'm here to save you!" Gongsun Zan there was still organizing a counterattack under the protection of his own soldiers, but here Gongsun Yue came back with his white horse followers.

To put it bluntly, Ma Chao is just a young boy now and does not have any good war experience. If he can wait patiently until Gongsun Yue and the white horse followers are far away before making a surprise attack, the effect will be very good and Gongsun Zan's army will be wiped out.
