Chapter 113 Meng Qi breaks Yangping
"Ding, the level of the host is increased, the force is increased by *1, the intelligence is increased by *2, and the strategy obtained: mine meter, the strategy point is increased to 130!"
After successfully collecting Ma Chao, Du Huo's reward just touched the edge of level 13.
After the level is upgraded, the water system skills will be upgraded again, and it will be upgraded to the Mine Meter.
At the same time, after Jiameng Pass was pacified, Ma Chao's younger brother, Ma Dai, joined Du Huo with Ma Chao.
As for Ma Dai, a military general, Du Huo has never paid too much attention to it.
Perhaps it was because Ma Chao's light was so dazzling that it was impossible to separate Ma Dai from Ma Chao's light.
However, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Dai's role was relatively large.After all, talents withered in the later period of the Shu Kingdom, so middle and upper-level generals like Ma Dai are quite precious.
After waiting for the affairs of Jiameng Pass to be settled properly, the army set off again, heading north along the mountains, heading straight for Yangping Pass.
The geographical location of Yangping Pass is very similar to Jiameng Pass, and the area is roughly the same. Apart from the fact that there are more mountains and forests around it, there is really nothing special about it.
According to Ma Chao, there were four generals stationed in Yangping Pass at this time, namely Yang Ang, Yang Ren, Yang Ping, and Cheng Yin.
Among them, Yang Ang, Yang Ren, and Yang Ping were all Zhang Lu's subordinates, while Cheng Yin was Ma Chao's subordinate before, and because of Ma Chao's defeat, he went to Hanzhong with Ma Chao and worshiped Zhang Lu's subordinates.
Now that Ma Chao has surrendered to Liu Bei, Cheng Yin is still working for Zhang Lu.It seems that at this moment he has already forgotten his old master, and he only cares about it wholeheartedly, only Zhang Lu is the one who follows.
The battle to capture Yangping Pass officially began in the early morning.
In order to satisfy Ma Chao's request, Du Huote handed over the task of capturing Yangping Pass to Ma Chao.
At this time, there are [-] defenders in Yangping Pass, and there are dangerous passes guarding them. If they don't suppress it with several times their troops, it may be difficult to win.
However, Ma Chao was reluctant to ask Du Huo for too many troops.As a result, when the war started, Ma Chao only had [-] troops in his hands.
Since ancient times, it is not that there has never been a case of winning more with less.
As for a general like Ma Chao, who obviously has fewer troops than the opponent, but still goes straight to attack the opponent's camp, that is rare in the world.
On the eve of the battle, Pang Tong specifically told Du Huo about this matter.
Originally, Du Huo wanted Pang Tong to persuade Ma Chao not to underestimate the enemy.However, when Pang Tong was ordered to report back to Du Huo, he suddenly spoke for Ma Chao.
"My lord, General Meng Qi is definitely not the kind of mediocre person who doesn't know the situation of the battle. Now that he dares to say such big words, it means that he has absolute confidence to win, so please don't go too far, my lord." Worry!"
"Shi Yuan, do you really think that Ma Chao can win? I want to hear you tell the truth!" Du Huo's expression was very serious. When he asked Pang Tong this question, his tense face hardly showed any fluctuations in expression.
Pang Tong nodded solemnly and said: "My lord, I would like to guarantee with my life that General Meng Qi will definitely win this battle. Otherwise, I am willing to bear the crime of deceiving the Lord!"
"That's all!" Du Huo waved his hand, signaling Pang Tong not to continue, "This matter is not as serious as you said, even if he really lost, so what? I can't just because of his defeat. I’ll take your head!”
"My lord, I believe in General Meng Qi! Please, my lord, you can trust me next time too!"
Pang Tong still didn't stop defending Ma Chao. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to implement this matter. No matter how much Du Huo objected, he would persuade Du Huo to change his mind!
"Well, I believe you are! Although I still don't have much confidence in Ma Chao, I am willing to believe your vision!"
Under Pang Tong's strong request, Du Huo failed to hold on to his persistence after all.
Although he knew that there would be certain risks in doing so, he was willing to take the risk in order to leave an image of a loyal monarch in front of Pang Tong.
Even if Ma Chao lost the [-] soldiers in the end, he didn't think this decision was worthless.
After all, this is a thing that kills two birds with one stone.Because no matter whether Ma Chao succeeds or fails in this battle, Du Huo can also gain the trust of both sides.
Even, if conditions permit, Du Huo hopes that Ma Chao can lose in this battle.
Because once Ma Chao fails, it means that two people owe him a favor at the same time.
One is the defeated Ma Chao, and the other is Pang Tong, who has vowed to defend Ma Chao.
However, the reality did not obey Du Huo's thoughts.
At noon, when Ma Chao's siege army broke through the Yangping Pass Dazhai, the battle of Yangping Pass came to an end!
Adding up the battle before and after, it only took three hours.
However, within these three hours, Ma Chao launched dozens of attacks on Yangping Pass in one breath.
In the end, the defense equipment in Yangping Pass was exhausted abruptly.
After losing the siege equipment, Yangpingguan is equivalent to a tiger without teeth.
Although the guards inside the pass are still full of fighting spirit, as long as Ma Chao leads the army to break through the pass, they will be defeated immediately without the barrier of the camp, like the cold wind sweeping the fallen leaves.
Sure enough, it had only been half an hour since Ma Chao entered the city, and the formation of the guards inside the pass had already been smashed to pieces by Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry, making it difficult to gather together.
In the end, the soldiers who had nowhere to retreat had no choice but to surrender and save their lives!
"My lord, Yangping pass has been captured by the last general, and my lord can enter the pass!"
After clearing out all the stragglers in the pass, Ma Chao rode alone and came to Du Huo to report to Du Huo.
"Okay! General Meng Qi is indeed brave and invincible. Thinking back to the past, I still doubted the general's ability. Now the battle of Yangping Pass, the general really opened my eyes!"
Ma Chao broke the city and made great achievements. As the lord, Du Huo naturally wanted to give him a few symbolic compliments in order to show his fame.
Although in this sentence, Du Huo was slightly self-deprecating, but it was very useful to Ma Chao.
"My lord, I am honored! Fortunately, my lord has not given up, and the last general can serve for the lord! Now attacking the city and defeating the enemy is nothing more than the duty of the general!
If the lord can trust the general, the general is willing to be the vanguard for the lord to help the lord defeat Zhang Lu and capture Hanzhong! "
What Ma Chao said was impassioned and righteous, but he really had the demeanor of a general.
