The whole army, prepare for war.

The defense line began to shrink, except for the small cavalry still wandering in the field, the whole army of more than 10,000 retreated back to the city of Weinan. An uphill battle is about to begin.

The war in Youzhou and Jizhou ended with the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao mobilized troops entrenched in Montenegro to Luoyang to support. Pingnan Zhonglang put Chu Yan and Chen soldiers 80,000 in Hanoi, and Zhang Niujiao, the captain of Montenegro, supervised 20,000 foot soldiers to avenge the revenge of the year, went straight out of Tongguan, and comprehensively pressed towards Weinan.

Faced with the disparity in strength, Ma Yue could only hold the fortified city of Weinan and clear the wilderness.

In mid-August, the weather was hot.

This year, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the red land was thousands of miles.

Ten wells were dug in the city, and the water was still too much to feed the entire army.

The only thing that made Ma Yue arrive easily was that Sanfu's grain was harvested, and all the tun and Huacang were all introduced into the city when Yuan Shao went out of the customs.

He doesn't have to worry about the grain and grass, this grain is enough for him to last next summer, but Ma Yue is still a little bottomless in his heart.

Yuan Shao's headquarters exceeded 40,000, and even though he had previously captured nearly 5,000 people from Chun Yuqiong's department by Ma Yue, his Montenegrin army plus Chu Yan was still nearly 100,000.

100,000 troops, only the Montenegrin army can take it in this period. Although Ma Yue always took the discipline and training of the Montenegrin army to be lax, it was just a group of rabble of the Yellow Turban remnants to cheer up the generals under his command. But he knew in his heart that no matter how negligent the Montenegrin Army was, no matter how labble the 80,000 troops that came out of the Black Mountain, it was the 80,000 soldiers who had personally experienced the battle during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Others can despise them, if contempt can make the generals under their command more courageous and can make the robes no longer afraid of them, then the more willing Ma is to let them despise.

But Ma Yue himself cannot be taken lightly.

Even 100,000 angry goats were enough to kill his Liangzhou man with sharp horns.

Not to mention the 100,000 screaming Jizhou men.

"Report, envoy, the vanguard of Yuan Shao's army has been stationed forty miles away from the city!" The detective who reported the news went straight to the county magistrate in the city, bowed in front of Ma Yue and said: "The army is connected to the sky and the earth, and the flag is in the sky!" ”

"Got it, you go down and rest, feed the horses, and eat well." Ma Yue waved his hand and ordered the horse to retreat, turned his head and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, Yuan Shao wants to fight with me out of the city, I want to be interesting, I wanted to lead him out of the city under Tongguan before, and now he wants to call me out of the city." What do you think? ”

Ma Yue has two major strategists around him, one is Jia Xu from Wuwei, and the other is Cheng Li from Dong'a. Both of them have the ability to seek the country, but their strengths and weaknesses are different. Jia Xu focuses on strategy, but he has low action, and he doesn't like to do things that are implemented on the ground. Cheng Li, on the other hand, has his own opinions, and many things don't need to be ordered at all, so he told Ma Yue only when he did things well.

Just like at this time, Cheng Li was arranging ravines outside the city and distributing weapons.

"What Jun thinks, what Zhongde thinks, and what Jia thinks are the same." Jia Xu arched his hand indifferently, and said with a sly smile on his face: "Why should the envoy come to ask his subordinates. ”

Ma Yue nodded and said: "Yes, I also plan to stick to the fortified city, the food in the city is enough for me to wait until Yuan Shao turns into bones, six zhang fortified city, why don't you defend it with all bows and crossbows!" ”

As if to cheer himself up, he landed his fist heavily on several cases.

Jia Xu looked outside, took a sip of the ice water from the ice cellar, the sun was bright outside the window, and the cicadas made people panic. The incense burning in the bronze furnace of the animal's head in the room is intoxicating. Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Envoy, we can not only defend, but also win." It will be difficult for Yuan Benchu to rely on the strong capture of this fortified city, but before that, you need to add another life-saving treasure to yourself. ”

"Life-saving baby, what?"

"Send Yuan Highway back to Liangzhou, in case we are defeated, one life for another, the second son of the Yuan family is enough to exchange you back to Liangzhou." Jia Xu said without a trace of pity on his face: "We will win, but many people will die." ”

Well, a lot of people died.

Ma Yue's gaze looked over the high wall and to the east.

……

The general offensive began.

Yuan Shao sent Zhang Niujiao, the captain of Montenegro, to attack the east city head-on, Yan Liang and Zhu Ling attacked the south gate, and the north gate was contained by his eldest son Yuan Tan, who was known for his bravery. And his general Wen Chou personally led thousands of cavalry to ambush in the direction of Weinan to Chang'an.

Simple circumference of three que.

Accompanied by exciting military music, tens of thousands of Montenegrin soldiers rushed to the city of Weinan like locusts, and countless ladders and city-breaking hammers were pushed onto the battlefield by the tall Jizhou people.

Yuan Shao hit his horse and climbed on a high platform in the camp ten miles east of the city, looking at the city that would be captured from afar, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile.

The letters of persuasion have been sent several times in succession, and Ma Yue is like facing a strong attack on Weinan City, sinking into the sea without any reaction.

'Ma Junhao, since you plan to defend the city to the death, then I will break him and let you live and die with the city. ’

Defeating Ma Yue is too important and too important for Yuan Shao, only when the name Ma Yue disappears from the world, can the Yuan clan really assist the government, can he really take all the authority, and boldly correct the divided world.

Sometimes Yuan Shao thinks that Ma Yue's biggest purpose in his heart may be the same as himself, they all hope to save the building, but their ways are different, or rather, they are two people who cannot coexist. If the Yuan clan wanted to gain power, they had to take something from the emperor. And these things are exactly what Ma Yue does not want. And if Ma Yue is in power, he will definitely make a large number of Xiliang warriors enter the imperial court, which is unwilling by the Central Plains scholars and the Yuan family.

"Yuan Hao, sometimes I really admire Ma Junhao, he has done it with two fists, which is worthy of admiration." Yuan Shao's horse was led away by the guards, kneeling on the futon of the handsome platform like the great nobles and kings of the Warring States Period, his upper body was straight like a pillar, the crown belt on his head was in a straight line with his chest until the soles of his feet, his crown was always so straight, his hair was meticulously tied, and his face was always with a reserved smile, casual and as if the whole world was in his chest. "The highway was defeated, and more than 10,000 troops were wiped out in an instant, and we didn't even know that he came out of Yizhou, and the highway was captured."

Tian Feng knelt beside Yuan Shao uprightly, he couldn't catch up with the best times like Yuan Shao's age, and even had a little silver star in his hair, shook his head and said: "Ma Yuezhicai is not in him, nor is he from Liangzhou." He is the brainchild of the first emperor, and the wisest thing in the first emperor's life is to erect two pillars, one is Jian Shuo, who has been dead for many years, and the other is this Liangzhou Liema. ”

"Maybe, but if Ma Yue is not from Liangzhou, his achievements can only be higher, and his background limits his horizons...... Zhang Niujiao attacked the city! The shouts of fighting at the head of the city shook the sky, and Yuan Shao's eyes seemed to be ignited by the fire oil poured on the city, and they were shining. The flag waved in the sea of people in front of him, the war drums were beaten beside him, and fine sweat broke out between Yuan Shao's heart and eyebrows in the hot summer, but he knew that it was not because of the scorching sun above his head. "If Ma Yue is the descendant of the Fufeng Ma clan, there will be nothing to do with me Yuan Benchu today."

"Not necessarily." Tian Feng knew what Yuan Shao was thinking, he felt that he was not as good as Ma Yue, but he was unwilling to admit it, because he was already too much stronger than Ma Yue, but he was caught up by Ma Yue and became opponents to attack each other here, which was the defeat of the strong. Tian Feng will not dismiss Yuan Shao, everyone is somewhat unwilling to do this kind of thing, if the war is won, that little unwillingness will naturally disappear with a pei loess, "If he is the ancestor of Ma Jichang, then he can only become another Ma Riyan." General, where do you think Ma Junhao is strong? ”

Yuan Shao looked at the city head in the distance, one by one cloud ladders set up the city head, he saw the dense figures of the city head fighting each other, some people pulled the strong bow away, and some people raised the battle axe high above their heads, but he didn't know who was who, and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know if the person he had in mind was at the head of the city, repeating the simple chopping action.

"The subordinates thought that everything about Ma Yue was given to him by his experience." Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao didn't speak, and said to himself: "His tenacity, because he was born in Liangzhou, his subordinates have heard that it is difficult for children in Liangzhou to survive before the age of five, and the frost in winter can make it difficult to pull out the ring knife in the sheath. Ma Yue's martial arts are even difficult to compare with the two generals Yan Wen, if it was one of those two under the Qingzuo sect back then, it would be difficult for the road prince to survive. But Ma Yue is much stronger than Yan Wen, even if he gives up everything and gives him a pen, he can rely on calligraphy in Luoyang in exchange for more than 100 slaves and high-rise mansions. ”

"If Ma Yue is not from Liangzhou, or he is not a disciple of Emperor Liang Menghuang, or he is not valued by His Majesty...... He will not be the ambitious Ma Yue now. When Tian Feng said this, he smiled lightly, and there were already soldiers from the Black Mountain Army who had climbed the city wall. After a pause, Tian Fengcai continued: "Otherwise, if you look at his brother, you will know that man has made great contributions to the pacification of Liangzhou, but he has never left Liangzhou in his life. Serious Liangzhou people, if they didn't want to snatch Sanfu's food, they would never think of going out of Longguan, let alone like now, just a year name to raise troops out of the customs! ”

Yuan Shao nodded lightly, he didn't want to say too much on the topic of Ma Yue, there was something in his heart that he would never want his subordinates to know, and more importantly, he saw the messenger and the horse coming straight to Shuaitai.

"Report, general, the traitor drove a strong crossbow at the head of the city, and all the soldiers of our army were pierced and fell down according to the arrow of the ladder, and it was difficult to attack the city for a while, and all the siege equipment was broken by the enemy.

Heavy crossbows on the walls? Yuan Shao had never seen such a new thing, so he raised his hand and ordered someone to sing gold, accompanied by the sound of golden drums, and said to the herald gently and reservedly: "Tell the captain of Montenegro to order him to come to see me quickly, and then order Yuan Tan to arrange a military formation to prevent Ma Yue from a surprise attack, and order the whole army to cook and rest, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

Ma Yue, Ma Yue, what else do you have that you haven't used?
