Whew...

Ride on a four-phase and move quickly.

I searched all night and didn't miss any corners.

Until the early hours of the morning, at the foot of a mountain thirty miles to the south, the traces of the Xiliang army were discovered.

Yuan Xi didn't say a word, and flew down to meet Ma Yunlu.

In a humble tent.

Ma Yunlu led the defeated generals and saluted Yuan Xi: "Lord..." ”

Since the battle had just been lost, everyone's morale was a little low.

"What's wrong? It's like being beaten by frost. Isn't it just a defeat, you beat Cao Jun to the head a few days ago. Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"Isn't the lord angry?" Ma Yunlu asked.

"Why should I be angry?" Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Although you lost the battle and lost Longxi City, but... You were all evacuated unharmed. As long as you're okay, the city can be reclaimed. ”

"Having said that, how can Longxi City, which is guarded by Sima Yi, be so easy to retrieve." Ma Yunlu said that he was weak and felt hopeless.

Yuan Xi said: "Why bother to increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? In my opinion... Sima Yi may not be able to defeat you. ”

Yang Qiu said: "The lord is saying... With these thousands of remnants, recapture Longxi City? ”

"Can't you?"

"This..." The generals looked at each other and bowed their heads.

Even if the Xiliang army is strong, who can be confident that it will defeat the city garrisoned by tens of thousands of Cao troops with thousands of remnants of the army, or that Sima Yi will personally defend it?

Ma Yunlu replied: "We are worried that the enemy will not be able to defeat Sima Yi, and then the whole army will be annihilated." I plan to lead the army to Ji County, and after meeting with my brother, I will defeat Cao Cao first, and then come back to fight Longxi City. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Sister Yunlu, do you know how big your role is now?" You lead thousands of remnants, as long as you unswervingly attack Longxi City, you can drag Sima Yi's nearly 30,000 troops and buy time for your brother. But... According to what you said, lead thousands of remnants to support your brother, then Longxi City will be completely Sima Yi's, and he can also free up his troops to go to Jincheng to help in the war. In this way, the Xiliang army will be attacked on both sides, and the situation will be dangerous.... ”

"That's right!"

Ma Yunlu suddenly realized.

Although she has few troops, she is in the most critical position, and once she withdraws, it will be unfavorable to the overall situation in Xiliang. But once he persists, he will not only be able to hold Sima Yi back, buy time for Ma Chao, but also be able to capture Longxi City, although this hope is very slim, but it is finally a hope.

She plucked up her courage and arched her hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight Sima Yi again!" ”

"Okay, I'll go with you. With me, Sima Yi doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and you don't have to worry about his formation. Yuan Xi thought that after a while, the situation was stable, and it was not too late to support Ma Chao. Anyway, Ma Chao and the Qiang, Di, and Rong tribes have not completely met, and their strength is still weak. If you go, you can't eliminate Cao Cao.

..........

Ma Yunlu was originally a little afraid of Sima Yi, but with the help of Yuan Xi's python, her confidence doubled.

Before setting out, gather all the generals and cheer them on.

Ma Yunlu said: "Our soldiers in Xiliang are all iron-clad heroes... With only 5,000 elite cavalry, the general defeated Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000, which shows that Cao's army has a false name, and our Xiliang army is an invincible warrior! ”

"Although we lost the battle in Longxi City, Sima Yi is just a defender of the city, and he can't become a climate. I am determined to lead you back and fight him. This trip is accompanied by the lord's python, can you be confident? ”

"Yes, yes, yes..." The generals shouted.

What gave them confidence was not Ma Chao's achievements, nor Ma Yunlu's generous and fierce words, but the presence of a giant python, which was the key to restraining Sima Yi.

Anyone who has seen the power of the giant python in the Xiliang army knows the role of the giant python.

No matter how good Sima Yi is in the array, no matter how good he is, it is impossible to block the power of the giant python.

After the meeting.

Ma Yunlu led the army back to Longxi City.

Even Sima Yi didn't expect that the thousands of Xiliang troops who had fled would still have the courage to come back. and dare to challenge blatantly.

Knock knock...

Drums thundered outside the city.

"This group of Xiliang Army, are they dying? Thousands of people dare to come to death? "There is also a young general named Guo Huai who guards the city with Sima Yi.

He was a famous general in the later period of Cao Wei, and Jiang Wei, Hao Zhao, etc., were in the same period.

Here, though, it's still very young.

Sima Yi carefully observed Ma Yunlu's military formation, shook his head and said, "It's really strange. Even these thousands of remnants of soldiers dare to attack Longxi City? Moreover, there are no siege machines yet. ”

Guo Huai was thoughtful, and immediately said: "Ma Yunlu is not here to attack the city... He just wants to contain tens of thousands of our troops with a small number of troops? ”

"I'm amazed you can think of that." Sima Yi said with a smile.

"Sir, don't be kidding...."

"I'm not kidding, I'm really surprised. Moreover, what you said is extremely right, Ma Yunlu's counterattack on Longxi City was just to contain our army. Sima Yi smiled.

Being praised by Sima Yi, Guo Huai was very excited.

However, he still had doubts: "Ma Yunlu is only a few thousand people, and she is still a remnant soldier, isn't she afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by us?" ”

"Haha..." Sima Yi smiled: "You got to the point again. Ma Yunlu is a woman, how can she have such courage to dare to counterattack Longxi City. As far as I guess, she was encouraged by Yuan Xi... ”

When he said this, Sima Yi's two eyeballs rolled around: "Guo Huai, hurry up and send someone to see if there is any trace of Yuan Xi." I felt like he wasn't far away. ”

"Sir is wise." Guo Huai was stunned.

Only when Yuan Xi supported Ma Yunlu could it be possible to counterattack Longxi City.

"The last general immediately sent troops to find out Yuan Xi's traces." Guo Huai said.

"Forget it, let's guard the city carefully." Sima Yi only remembered that Yuan Xi's mount was incompatible, and he could fly in the sky for dozens of miles in an instant, who could find out his traces?

"Do you estimate that you can fight Ma Yunlu?" After a while, Sima Yi asked.

"This..." Guo Huai couldn't answer.

Sima Yi said: "Okay, you don't have to answer, I already know." Some time ago, in the battle of Jincheng, Ma Yunlu defeated General Cao Chun, and the generals in the army were very afraid of her, and you were one of them, right? It's ridiculous that a woman frightened tens of thousands of soldiers... ”

"If Mr. wants to say so, Guo Huai is willing to ask for war!"

Guo Huai really couldn't listen to Sima Yi's insulting words, so he mustered up the courage to fight.

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you five hundred elites, and you go out of the city to face Ma Yunlu." As long as I have the upper hand and force Ma Yunlu back, I will definitely play the prime minister and give you credit. ”

"Mr. Xie." Guo Huai still didn't understand Sima Yi's intentions, so he returned to the city with a long knife to order troops.

..........

A quarter of an hour later.

Guo Huai drove the horse out of the city and took the initiative to challenge Ma Yunlu.

Ma Yunlu saw it, and even if he wanted to fight.

Zheng Qin, the deputy general on the side, arched his hand and said: "The other party is just a small general, why do you need a general." And the last will go and fetch his head. ”

"You?" Ma Yunlu glanced at Zheng Qin: "Are you okay?" ”
