Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 75 Repentance

"Zhang Liao!" Ma Teng grabbed Zhang Liao's spear, looked at him and said angrily: "I treat you with courtesy, why do you have to be so aggressive!?"

"General Ma, you and I are at war now. What does it mean to be aggressive!?" Zhang Liao hesitated with his spear, but Ma Teng was restless. He looked into the distance from time to time. Lu Bu's army was already approaching, but Ma Teng's army had no horses. Teng took command, some wanted to resist, some wanted to come out to save people, and some were at a loss. Not to mention it was a mess, but it was not much better. There was no unified order, which was a taboo.

In fact, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had a try at the beginning to see if they could lure Ma Teng out. When Zhang Liao came to instigate Ma Teng and Han Sui, he came to confirm whether Ma Teng had left the camp.

Sometimes you have to rely on luck in fighting. There is no such thing as a battle with a 100% chance of winning. This time they fought with Ma and Han. Ma and Han were already suspicious of each other, and neither of them had the intention to fight Lu Bu with all their strength. Lu Bu let Lu Bu Successfully intensified the conflict between the two, but it was impossible for the two to openly fight under Lu Bu's nose. If it really happened, Lu Bu's first thought was that the other party was cheating and tempting him to take action.

The purpose of Lu Bu asking Zhang Liao to send an envoy to Ma Teng Camp was because the arrival of Cheng Gongying made Lu Bu see an opportunity and asked Zhang Liao to trick Ma Teng into leaving the camp to meet Han Sui. Lu Bu took advantage of the fact that no one was in charge of Ma Teng Camp. Defeat Ma Teng first.

Lu Bu's luck was obviously good. Not only did Ma Teng leave the camp, but the envoy sent by Hua Xiong made nonsense and misdirected remarks, which instantly broke the already fragile trust between the two.

"Fire arrows!" Above the camp, Pang De looked at the surging Han army and mobilized as many troops as he could. As long as he could hold off this wave of attacks, the camp would be defended.

But although he is highly regarded by Ma Teng, he is only a general after all. The number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by him at this moment is limited after all. Hundreds of sharp arrows shot out cannot stop the surging army. This camp is not a city after all. The high wall can be climbed quickly by two people working together.

Spear after spear stabbed the Bingzhou Army who had just climbed over the wall, but another person rushed in immediately. Without saying a word, he slashed with a knife. After killing one person, he was also killed by the surrounding enemies with swords. , but soon a second and third one came in.

The Ma Jiajun was brave, and the siege troops commanded by Lu Bu were all elite. In addition, the number of people who chose to resist was limited, and they soon became unable to stop them. The village walls and camp gates were successively breached.

Pang De held the Ancient Moon Sword and galloped back and forth, trying to stop the opponent's attack, but there were too many people. He didn't even know how many enemies he had killed, but there were more and more enemies around him, and the soldiers who were holding on were getting more and more. There are fewer and fewer soldiers coming, and many Ma family soldiers have begun to flee in all directions. They are defeated like a mountain. Even if Ma Teng comes back at this moment, he can't stop him!

Pang De sighed helplessly, and was about to break out with the defeated troops when he saw a man in the distance going upstream. A two-foot-long spear came and went among the crowd like the wind. Everywhere he went, there was a commotion among the enemy troops who could always kill him.

"Young General!?" Pang De was shocked when he saw the opponent. Although Ma Chao was brave, he could not withstand thousands of troops. He immediately beat his horse and danced his sword all the way to Ma Chao's side. He killed an enemy soldier with one sword and said loudly: "The situation is over, let's go!"

Although Ma Chao was brave, the wounds on his hands had not yet healed. After a moment of fierce fighting, he felt a dull pain in the tiger's mouth of his hands, and seemed to be cracking again. He had been slapped in the face one after another in the past few days, and his temper was somewhat restrained, and he did not listen to the words. Showing off his strength, he nodded and responded, then followed Pang De to fight his way out of the encirclement.

On the other side, Ma Teng fought with Zhang Liao for a few times before he knew that Zhang Liao was not of Yi Yu's generation. Then he saw that the direction of the camp had been breached by Lu Bu. He knew that the situation was over, and he did not want to fight Zhang Liao desperately. He passed by Zhang Liao on the wrong horse. Then he hit the horse and drove away.

"Don't chase anymore!" Zhang Liao waved his hand to stop the guards who wanted to chase again. There is no point in chasing them now. With their small number of people, they can't kill many if they catch up.

Lu Bu did not pursue him. After breaking through Ma Teng's camp, he occupied Ma Teng's camp and let Zhang Liao serve as the commander-in-chief to command the Qiang soldiers under Jiang Xu and Jiang Ji. Lu Bu led the elite army back to the base camp to fight with Zhang Liao. Besieged Jincheng like a horn.

It was getting dark, and Ma Teng ran for dozens of miles with his remaining soldiers. When he saw that Lu Bu did not pursue him, he stopped and ordered his men to gather the defeated soldiers everywhere.

Looking back on what happened before, how could Ma Teng not know that he still fell into Lu Bu's alienation plan? While feeling regretful, I was also a little worried about the situation in Jincheng. It wasn't that I couldn't afford to lose a city, but the location of Jincheng was somewhat special. It was the first city within four hundred miles northwest from Didao, and it was also the place where three rivers converged. Although they are not big rivers, with Jincheng, Lu Bu can use it as a stronghold to take root in the northwest. It will be difficult to drive Lu Bu away when the time comes.

Yan Xing probably hasn't even arrived in Longxi yet. A defeat here is not a good sign.

"Lord!" Late at night, Pang De led Ma Chao to find Ma Teng. Although the battle was defeated, the main generals were not damaged. This was a blessing in misfortune.

Ma Teng was a little relieved to see the two of them returning safely. Looking at Ma Chao who looked downcast, he didn't blame him for the first time. He just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Winning or losing is a common thing in the military. If you lose, you will come back again." , who are you showing this dejection to?"

In the past, Ma Chao was arrogant, but he won every battle and was invincible against Xiliang. Ma Teng couldn't beat him even if he wanted to, so he could only beat him with a stick. This time he lost a battle and let him see the real power of the Han army. , maybe it’s not a bad thing for Ma Chao.

Ma Chao held a branch in his hand and fiddled with the bonfire. The feeling of being defeated like a mountain was really uncomfortable. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Father, I don't understand. There are so many people who can fight, but they may not lose. Why?" Have they all run away?"

"The army is defeated like a mountain, that's it." Ma Teng didn't know how to explain it. He understood some truths, but he couldn't express them.

Ma Chao turned to look at Pang De. Pang De racked his brains for a long time but couldn't think of the right words. After thinking for a long time, Pang De explained: "Morale collapsed, everyone was afraid, so they ran away..."

In the end, Pound didn't even know what he was talking about. Morale is a very mysterious thing. In fact, many people are afraid at the same time, and then one person runs, leading ten people to run, and then a hundred people to run, but No one really counts this, and it is difficult to count. If you ask after the war, few people will admit that they are afraid, but that is the fact, and Pound's explanation is correct.

"Afraid?" Ma Chao frowned. He couldn't think of why they were afraid when they clearly had the advantage. The reversal of the situation was inexplicable.

"I asked you to read more military books on weekdays but you refused. Now you meet a powerful person but you are at a loss. Who can blame you?" Ma Teng was a little annoyed by the question and glared at him dissatisfiedly and said: "After you go back this time, carefully read the military books left at home. You will naturally understand these principles!"

"Have you finished reading?" Ma Chao thought about the hundreds of scrolls of bamboo slips at home. How long would it take to finish reading them all?

Ma Teng didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. Should we fight now or choose another place to garrison?

"My lord, I believe that Jincheng cannot be lost. If Jincheng is lost, Lu Bu can gain a foothold here. Even if Yan Xing succeeds in his sneak attack on Longxi, Lu Bu can send cavalry back to help. In addition, grain and grass baggage can also be transported to Jincheng through the river. Compared with It is more convenient and labor-saving to transport by land. By then, our army may have to fight Na Lu Bu for a long time, which is definitely not a good thing." Pound said solemnly.

Water transportation is definitely a rarity in this water-scarce northwest, but it is not completely impossible. Jincheng is located on the bank of the Yellow River, and the Tao River flows through Longxi, which is the main tributary of the Yellow River in Xiliang. Although it is not wide, But it is enough to assist in fortune-telling. It saves a lot of manpower and material resources compared to fortune-telling on the road, and can allow Lu Bu to persist here for a longer period of time.

"The old dog Han Sui may have surrendered to Lu Bu now, and the golden city has been lost. What should we do?" Ma Chao said disdainfully. It is not surprising for a person like Han Sui to surrender. Of course, if the conditions are right tomorrow, he will surrender to Lu Bu. It's not a strange thing to sell it.

Pang De stopped talking. This was what he was most worried about. If Han Sui surrendered, not only would Jincheng be lost, but Yan Xing's plan to attack Longyou and harass Lu Bu's rear would also come to nothing. In that case, they would be left alone to face it. Lu Bu...

Lu Bu did not take action today, but the commander of the broken camp was commanded by Lu Bu. Whether it was the command and control of the soldiers, the grasp of the fighter opportunities, and the decisiveness, it showed that Lu Bu was not just a brave general, but the other party had good commanding abilities. Facing such an enemy, Pound was not too confident.

"We have to give it a try." Ma Teng sighed. If Han Sui really surrendered, then he... would have no choice but to surrender and get a slap on the wrist, or he could flee to the Western Regions with his belongings and plunder whatever he wanted in the Western Regions. If you are the king of a similar city, but even if you are the king of the Western Regions, how can you be as prosperous as the Han Dynasty? Who would be willing to leave their hometown unless they have no choice?

"Ling Ming, tomorrow morning, take someone to Jincheng to investigate. If Han Sui has not surrendered yet, send someone in to tell Han Sui that I also fell into Zhang Liao's trick. I hope he won't care about it. We The two families can flank Lu Bu." Ma Teng hesitated when he said not to argue. For this matter alone, he felt sorry for Han Sui.

"Why are you so humble? Although it was my father who did it this time, it is because Han Laogou usually has no faith at all. Anyone would fall into the trap." Ma Chao heard a bit of softness in Ma Teng's words, He suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!" Ma Teng couldn't stand hearing it anymore, and now he was begging for help!
