After Cao Cao captured Chencang Sanguan and Tianshui, and Ma Teng and his son Ma Xiu and Ma Tie died in battle, the entire Xiliang became nervous. All the princes are ready to fight Cao Cao together.
But not long after, they discovered that Cao Cao showed no signs of marching westward and stood still in Chencang, and later withdrew his troops directly back to Yecheng.
Without Ma Teng, Han Sui could no longer command the other princes in Xiliang, so the princes redefined their spheres of influence after attacking each other.
Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Pang De and others stationed troops in Longxi, Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan were stationed in Longyou, Liang Xing and Li Kan occupied Wudu and Yinping, peeking at Yizhou, and Han Sui continued to station in Jincheng. Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi retreated to Wuwei and Guzang in the northwest, while Ma Wan and Yang Qiu stayed in Anding.
However, except for Han Sui, who still had an army of 10,000, the other princes did not have more than 5,000 troops. The population of Xiliang is not large, and the food production is also very low. The only thing they rely on is commerce. The trade routes leading to the Western Regions gradually prospered. In order to allow tax revenue to support their military expenditures, several companies even signed a special covenant to protect the caravans.
Zhao Yan, the defender of Tianshui City, originally planned to raise troops when the Xiliang princes attacked each other. However, Ma Wan and Yang Qiu kept calm and peered at Tianshui. Zhao Yan had too few troops, so he had to give up.
Although there was no news here, the information about the battle in Xicheng was still transmitted, which surprised Zhao Yan very much.
Xiahou Dun¡¯s entire army was annihilated. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang were also defeated. Liu Cong¡¯s army had already reached Chencang. Can Hao Zhao hold on?
Although Zhu Ling was there to disperse the pass and provide support, Liu Cong had an army of 40,000, as well as Huang Zhong, the number one general in Jingzhou, and military advisor Fa Zheng. How could Hao Zhao and Zhu Ling be their opponents?
Zhao Yan wanted to send troops to help, but with Ma Chao and Cheng Yin in front of Tianshui and Yang Qiu behind him, he did not dare to send out troops easily.
When he was in a dilemma, the scouts came to report that Marquis Cheng Yin led five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Jieting.
"Sure enough, I can't sit still anymore!" Zhao Yan had long thought that after the news came that Liu Cong's troops were approaching Chencang, Ma Chao, Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan and others would be interested in Tianshui, because it had become a lone army.
Marquis Cheng Yin chose to attack Jieting, and his purpose was probably to get him to support him. If he leaves the city, Ma Chao will definitely ambush him halfway and occupy Tianshui.
Zhao Yan did not send troops. Du Xi had 5,000 soldiers and horses. Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan could not attack Jieting. He sent a large number of scouts to find out about Ma Chao, Anding Ma Wan and Yang Qiu in Longxi. If the two of them move, Zhao Yan must follow suit.
Sure enough, three days after Cheng Yinhou attacked Jieting, Ma Chao and Ma Wan sent troops at the same time. They pulled all the soldiers and horses to Jieting, and Du Xi's letter for help was quickly sent.
Zhao Yan was on pins and needles in Tianshui City. The purpose of the Xiliang soldiers was to seize the street pavilion with all their strength and did not care about Tianshui at all, which made him a little helpless.
If we don¡¯t send troops, Jieting will definitely not be able to hold it, but if we send troops, it means having to fight Ma Chao and others in a decisive battle at Jieting.
They don¡¯t have enough troops, and even less generals.
There is no other way to break the siege of Jieting. Even if he leads his army to attack Anding or Longxi, Ma Chao and others will not care at all, because no matter where he is, he will not be able to defend it in the end.
"Whose idea was this? To save or not to save?"
If Jieting is saved, the outcome of this decisive battle is unpredictable, but his chance of winning is very low. If we don't save it, the street pavilion will be lost, and Tianshui will eventually be unable to hold it!
"Ma Chao, since you want to fight decisively, then fight!" Zhao Yan finally made up his mind and ordered the troops to rectify.
Time is not long, five thousand soldiers and horses have been assembled, and the scouts have also sent news. There are no Xiliang ambushes along the way, and a battle has already begun in the street pavilion. So Zhao Yan did not dare to delay, and immediately led his army out of the city and headed for the street pavilion.
Under the siege of 10,000 troops, Du Xi had already shown signs of defeat. The appearance of Zhao Yan seemed to bring him a glimmer of hope.
However, at this time, Ma Chao's army came again, and victory still fell to Xiliang.
This is a contest without any conspiracy, based solely on strength. The Wei army was well-trained and very powerful, but the Xiliang army was also extremely brave. Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De and others also personally led their troops to attack.
The sound of killing shook the sky, horses neighed and people shouted, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.
The two sides fought for a whole day. When the sun went down, the shouts of killing finally stopped.
Although the Xiliang army won, it was a miserable victory. Cheng Yin and Ma Wan died in the battle, and the number of capable soldiers was less than 5,000.
While clearing the battlefield, there was suddenly another cry of killing, and Ma Chao and others were shocked.
"Report to the general, the Han army is coming to kill!" The scout came to report on Pegasus.
"The Han army is coming?" Ma Chao was very confused, "Where did the Han army come from? Could it be that they could fly here?"
¡°I don¡¯t know, I only know that Liao Hua and Zhou Cang led five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Jieting, and Tianshui was also occupied by Deng Ai!¡±
"Brother, the Han army is brave, we are no match, retreat quickly!" Ma Dai said hurriedly.
"We finally captured the street pavilion, how could we leave it to the Han army like this!" Hou Xuan disagreed.
"Yes, the Han army only has five thousand soldiers and horses. Liao Hua and Zhou Cang are unknown people, so why be afraid!"
"Two generals, our soldiers and horses have been fighting for a day!" Ma Dai said.
"They have also come a long way, how can they not be tired?"
"Okay, let's fight the Han army to the death and form an array!" Ma Chao gave the order.
The Xiliang soldiers hurriedly formed their formation.
Liao Hua and Zhou Cang led five thousand soldiers and horses. After arriving at the street pavilion, they looked at the Xiliang army on the opposite side and set up their formations, but they did not charge. Liao Hua urged his horse and came to the front of the formation.
"Ma Chao, you are no match for me. My lord cherishes talents and is thirsty for talents. If you surrender, you will definitely be reused, make contributions, and be given the title of wife and son!"
"I'm not ashamed of my words, how can we Xiliang men be controlled by others? If you have the ability, come and kill!" Yang Qiu shouted.
"Brother, why don't we" Ma Dai has been thinking about their way out since Ma Teng died. Ma Dai did not agree with fighting for world hegemony. He felt that surrendering to a certain prince was the best choice. Among the various princes, the one Ma Dai admired the most was Liu Cong, the shepherd of Jingzhou.
But how could candidate Yang Qiu listen to his opinion? And Ma Chao is also very ambitious.
"Let's fight, Bo Zhan doesn't need to say anything!" Ma Chao tightened his grip on the gentian gun and bright silver gun in his hand.
When Liao Hua saw that his efforts to persuade him to surrender were fruitless, he waved the sword in his hand.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers rushed over like tigers descending the mountain.
Yang Qiu and Hou Xuan were about to give orders for the crossbowmen to release arrows, but unexpectedly, dense arrows shot over first.
"Thiswhat is this"
Hou Xuan Yang Qiu was shocked, but the two of them were speechless. Countless arrows pierced their bodies, and the Xiliang soldiers fell one by one.
