Chapter 455 The Battle of Weinan Ends! Pang De Joins the Faction, the Rebellious Son Flees in Panic
next day
Cao Cao's intelligence corps secretly negotiated with Ma Teng and Pang De.
With the support of Cao Cao's camp, Ma Teng and Pang De became even more determined to "beat the rebellious son."
As for the issue of family members, it was left to Xiahou Yuan to lead the cavalry to rescue them.
Although Chencang is far from Wuwei, Xiahou Yuan's troops are all cavalry, which will be much faster than infantry.
Furthermore.
Xiahou Yuan is skilled at long-distance raids.
The reputation of "Tiger Steps Across Guanzhong" is well-deserved.
Ensuring the safety of their families was also a guarantee that Pound provided to his soldiers.
To boost their morale, Pound said to them:
"Gentlemen, Ma Chao is a man of his word."
"But General Xiahou will lead his cavalry to capture Wuwei and rescue our families!"
Upon hearing this news, the Han soldiers were all greatly encouraged!
Some who were worried asked Pound:
"If Ma Chao leads his army back to Wuwei, can General Xiahou win?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers held their breath, waiting for Pound to continue.
Pound laughed loudly:
"Then we'll need to put in our best efforts!"
"If we fight hard and defeat Ma Chao's main force, or even leave Ma Chao here forever, wouldn't General Xiahou be able to easily wipe out the remaining remnants of Ma Chao's army?"
The crowd paused, their eyes gleaming.
Violence begets violence; it is the best form of retaliation!
In an instant, everyone hated Ma Chao so much that they wished they could use his flesh as a sacrifice to the heavens!
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Ma Teng and Pang De were also very pleased.
Everything is ready; I'm just waiting to give my unfilial son a good beating tomorrow!
……
next morning
A cold air mass swept in.
Early winter in the north is also very cold.
Especially in the morning when you first get up, it's so cold you grit your teeth.
Ma Chao and Yan Xing each deployed their troops, planning to retreat by boat down the Wei River, land south of Jieting, and return to Liangzhou.
The rearguard consisted of a few remaining Han Chinese minor warlords from Liangzhou, as well as Han Chinese soldiers from the Ma Clique army led by Pang De.
Meeting the resentful gazes of the Han soldiers, Ma Chao spat out a mouthful of phlegm in disdain.
He wouldn't care about the feelings of these Han Chinese soldiers.
With their families and hostages in our hands, these people wouldn't dare to rebel!
Giving them the opportunity to contribute their lives is already the greatest blessing.
As for Pound, he certainly has the ability.
But anyone who dares to defy Ma Chao must accept the consequences of their disobedience!
Yan Xing looked at Ma Chao with a meaningful expression.
If he's right, Ma Teng will soon bring Pang De to give Ma Chao a big surprise!
Ma Chao, Ma Chao, you've been ruthless for so long, but in the end you still end up doing all the work for Yan Xing!
With their own agendas, Yan Xing and Ma Chao arrived at the banks of the Wei River, preparing to board a small boat and leave the area.
But that's it.
Noisy footsteps echoed all around.
Ma Chao and Yan Xing instinctively thought that Cao Cao's army was pursuing them, so they immediately quickened their movements.
With cannon fodder covering their rear, as long as they can hold off the enemy for a little longer, escaping Cao Cao's pursuit will naturally not be a problem.
But when Ma Chao looked around, he saw that Pang De, who was supposed to be covering the rear, suddenly turned around and charged towards him!
Upon seeing this, Ma Chao froze instantly, completely dumbfounded!
He shouted in the direction of Pound and the Han soldiers:
Do you want to kill your parents, wives, and children?
Pound raised his arm and shouted:
"Traitor!!!"
"No matter what, you won't let our families go!"
"We are here today to act on behalf of Heaven!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The shouts were deafening.
The soldiers behind Pound were all giving it their all.
Fueled by hatred, they frantically slaughtered the Qiang, Di, and Jie people surrounding Ma Chao.
These foreign soldiers usually look respectable.
But at this moment, in front of the bloodthirsty Han soldiers, they were like clay chickens and earthen dogs, waiting to be slaughtered!
Ma Chao was furious and tried to defeat Pang De with his martial arts skills.
But that's it.
Heavier footsteps echoed across the mountains and fields!
Cao Cao's main force has arrived!
Disheartened, Ma Chao had no choice but to abandon his battle with Pang De and, taking advantage of the chaos, led Ma Dai and sped away towards the small boat.
At this moment, Ma Chao couldn't care less about anything else.
He just wants to escape!
Yan Xing watched this scene with a grin.
But the next instant, when he saw Pang De charging towards him, Yan Xing's smile vanished.
"Pang Lingming! What are you doing?"
Yan Xing was furious.
Pound laughed loudly:
"Pang has decided to lead his brothers to join Cao Sikong!"
"As for you, you traitorous rebel, I have no reason to let you go!"
Yan Xing was so angry that he started cursing and hurling insults at Ma Chao and his ancestors for eighteen generations.
As for why it was Ma Chao who was being criticized instead of Pang De...
That's because Ma Chao ran incredibly fast and had already boarded the small boat.
Goodbye Yanxing, I'm setting sail tonight!
Don't worry about me, for I have the oars of joy and wisdom!
In other words, Yan Xing has now become the one covering Ma Chao's retreat.
Ma Chao once again activated his innate skill, sacrificing his teammates!
"Death!"
Pang De swung his broadsword heavily at Yan Xing.
Yan Xing quickly raised his weapon to defend himself against Pang De.
However, Yan Xing's true skill level was actually similar to Pang De's; both were considered top-tier warriors at their peak, but still a step below the elite warriors.
but.
Pound also has a hidden buff.
When he is filled with the courage to fight a desperate battle, his fighting power is even stronger than usual!
For example, carrying a coffin in a final battle.
Pang De's ability to fight Guan Yu for a hundred rounds without a clear victor, even causing Guan Yu to feel numbness in his hand, is a testament to his strength. (Pang De fought Guan Yu when he was uninjured; the injured Guan Yu fought Xu Huang.)
Yan Xing was in unbearable distress.
Tied up by Pound, he couldn't find a chance to move towards the small boat.
After Pang De defected, the remaining Han Chinese minor lords of Liangzhou also followed Pang De and launched an attack on Yan Xing!
In addition, Cao Cao's main force is getting closer and closer.
Yan Xing was in despair.
He cursed Ma Chao with the most hateful curse, wishing him a terrible death!
If this guy hadn't run so fast, how could Yan Xing have ended up in this situation?
"General Pang, do you need help?"
Huang Zhong, Yue Jin, Wen Pin, Xu Huang, Wei Yan and other generals from Cao Cao's camp also came to Yan Xing's side to support Pang De.
Pound laughed loudly:
"Please, gentlemen, capture Yan Xing alive for me!"
"okay!"
Cao Cao's generals moved upon hearing the sound.
Yan Xing was completely numb.
You son of a bitch! Where's your manners? Where's your morality?
Do you know what martial virtue is?
What kind of skill is it to outnumber the weak?
But when Yan Xing entered the sack that Cao Cao's generals had prepared in advance, he no longer had the courage to resist.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my fate. It's all about timing and destiny.
And this was accompanied by Yan Xing's capture.
His troops either surrendered or died in battle.
In the end, only Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and some of their Qiang, Di, and Jie people managed to escape the battlefield.
But when they return to Liangzhou, they will discover the great gift that Cao Cao's camp has given them!
