The third day was also the last day of Ma Daikua's descent to Haikou. He said before that he would be able to break Xiling in three days, but now that two days have passed, Xiling has still not been breached, and Ma Dai is indeed a little anxious. He doesn't care about his face, so what's the matter, the key is to capture Xiling as soon as possible, so that the lord and the army can rest well. As for boasting, he really didn't care too much about this. Of course, if you can really break Xiling in three days, it will naturally be the best.

But if it really doesn't work, then you can only do your best, and this is what Ma Dai thinks at this moment, of course, it is also what he thought before. He wants everyone else to take Xiling today, but after all, this matter is not what he says, so Ma Dai knows in his heart that he can only do his best, and the rest, then it depends on the will of God, maybe ......-

Cheng Pu is at the head of the city, he looks at it like this, why is it that this man named Ma Dai and the Liangzhou sergeant are crazy today? Even though yesterday was the first official attack, it didn't happen, so what's going on today?

Of course, Cheng Pu didn't know what happened in the Liangzhou Army camp and Ma Chao's Chinese army tent, and he didn't have the ability to let Xizuo blend into the Liangzhou Army. As for the scout, he doesn't have that ability, so Ma Dai said that, how could he know the way. But even so, Cheng Pu also knows that there must be something in this that he doesn't know, but no matter what it is, as long as he does his job well and guards the Xiling Tomb, then it is better than anything else. Isn't it.

Cheng Pu can indeed correct his position, no matter how his Jiangdong Army side does not have an advantage now. Even if he was really worried about the war and couldn't do it, when it was time to defend the city with all his might, he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, and he still took the lead. In addition to being older, Cheng Pu can be said to have done a very good job, so that people can't find too many big faults. It's a pity, after all, he is old, which is indeed a pity.

looked like a sergeant of Liangzhou who had gone crazy. Cheng Pu yelled at the Jiangdong sergeant at the head of the city: "Brothers, the lord left our army here to defend the city, and now that the Liangzhou army is attacking, we would rather not have this life than let the Liangzhou army get better." Do you say yes or no? ”

"Yes!" ——

Ma Chao looked at the high morale of the Jiangdong soldiers on the head of the city. He said in his heart. It seems that I can't take Xiling today, after all, this is really not easy. Cheng Puqi is worthy of being a veteran, a veteran of the Jiangdong Army, and his experience is indeed rich enough. At least his words made the morale of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army soar, but not everyone can do this.

Ma Dai heard Cheng Pu shouting at this time. Not to be outdone, he yelled directly: "Brothers, don't let the Jiangdong Army look down on us, and charge me." The city is broken today!! ”

Ma Dai's words, of course, also have an effect, after all, he has taken his soldiers to attack the city many times, so he is definitely the backbone of the siege soldiers. Therefore, Ma Dai raised his arms and shouted, which directly increased the morale of the Liangzhou sergeants. After all, Ma Dai, as such a general who besieged the city, has been doing this for many years, and if you want to say his words, it is useless at all, so how is it possible.

Cheng Pu looked at the morale of the Liangzhou soldiers, and it also increased a little, and he sneered: "Don't think that you can seize the Xiling that our army guards, it's not that simple!" Greetings, brethren! ”

"No!"

To say that in the past two days, the Jiangdong soldiers have really seen the strong combat power of the Liangzhou soldiers. To be honest, they were indeed a little scared in their hearts, after all, in the face of nearly 100,000 Liangzhou troops, they were not afraid at all, it was all a lie. But fortunately, Cheng Pu is there, so even if they are a little scared, they are not so bad. Therefore, he can still defend the city at the head of the city, so it can be seen that Cheng Pu, the main general, the veteran of the Jiangdong Army, and the importance of this veteran.

Indeed, the Jiangdong Army can do this, not only because Cheng Pu is their main general, but Cheng Pu is also the veteran of the Jiangdong Army, one of the few veterans in the Jiangdong Army, and is deeply respected by his own lord-

Cheng Pu knows better than anyone else that he has experience, but to be honest, he doesn't have much experience in defending the city, which must be admitted. And the Ma Dai of the Liangzhou Army, he definitely has a lot of experience in siege, which Cheng Pu knows too well in his heart. But this thing, that can't be changed at all, unless a person with a lot of experience in defending the city appears in his own city immediately, and then takes the soldiers to repel Ma Dai and them, but ......

Cheng Pu also knew in his heart that this was just daydreaming and wishful thinking, anyway, there seemed to be no such talent in his Jiangdong army. If you want to say that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, he should be very powerful, but I have never seen him defend the city. After all, such a talent, if you really want to be a city defender, it will be really overkill.

And he also has a military advisor, named Lu Su, the word is respectful, he should be good, but unfortunately he is not here.

Cheng Pu can be said to know Jiang Dongjun quite well, don't look at his age, he is indeed old, but it is indeed no problem to write down the names of some people, as well as the skills of these people, not to mention Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who are still the two people who left him with a particularly deep impression, so he may easily forget it.

But now in the war in Xiling, there is no one stronger than himself on his side, and he can only be hard-headed, with soldiers, and a decisive battle with the Liangzhou army. Cheng Pu suddenly felt that even if Xiling City was not breached today, then it might not be able to defend for a few days, the enemy army was large, the combat effectiveness was strong, and the generals were surprised and rich, which was indeed not comparable to his own side. The so-called "singles don't eat immediate losses", if that's the case, you have to plan well.

Cheng Pu didn't say that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he asked himself at this time, it was indeed very simple if he died, but could he die, could he die easily, the answer was no, he couldn't just die. lost a city, to be honest, he really didn't see his lord speechlessly, but if the Jiangdong soldiers were wiped out, then he would be even more ashamed of his lord and those soldiers.

So when Cheng Pu thought of this, he knew that he couldn't be loyal to his lord, at least now, if he wasn't captured by life, it was impossible. Cheng Pu is not afraid of death, but for him, people always have to die as they deserve, if he is defeated in Xiling and then dies, then to be honest, it is indeed not worth it, and it is estimated that he will not be willing.

It's rare that Cheng Pu has changed some of his attitudes, otherwise he might really be ready to be loyal to Sun Ce. But now that it's okay, at least for the time being, he still won't be loyal to Sun Ce. And he also knew that he still had a lot to do, so he really couldn't just die in Xiling-

Ma Dai didn't know what to do, Cheng Pu at the head of the city, because of the fierce battle with him, turned out to think so much. But even if he knew the truth, he was just laughing. In fact, for Ma Dai, if Cheng Pu is really loyal to Sun Ce here, then he can only say that he is too pedantic, and nothing else.

In fact, if it were Ma Dai himself, at least he wouldn't do it easily, it's not that Ma Dai can't be loyal to Ma Chao, it's just that in Ma Dai's view, if a person dies, it must have some value. At least in his opinion, he had to die a well-deserved death, or he would die in vain. In that case, Ma Dai estimated that he would have to die without turning a blind eye. In his opinion, when you should be loyal anyway, you should naturally be the right person, but when you shouldn't be like that, you will naturally run as far as you can.

Originally, people can't be unwise, that's the way it is, anyway, in Ma Dai's thoughts, it has to be like this. People are impulsive, and in general, it is certainly not advisable, especially when they should not be impulsive. In fact, Ma Dai is not bad, at least now, he is no longer as impulsive as before, he has changed a little, or rather, he is actually mature, so it is more accurate to say -

The third siege ended with the Liangzhou army returning with a feather.

This is also within Ma Dai and Ma Chao's expectations, and after the Liangzhou army Mingjin withdrew his troops and Ma Dai came back with his troops, no one mentioned that Ma Dai had boasted about taking Xiling in three days.

In fact, at the beginning, there were really few people who took this seriously, and in the eyes of everyone, if Ma Dai could really take Xiling in three days, it would indeed be better than anything else. But if you don't take it, it's actually normal, and you haven't lost anything, right? What's more, there was no military order or anything before, so everyone wisely chose not to mention it, after all, this matter is not a good thing. And once you say it, you will definitely offend Ma Dai. (To be continued......)
