Chapter 156: Cat and Mouse Game

Dong Huang doesn't have any real skills, he usually relies on Dong Zhuo's background, runs rampant, and has a prosperous official fortune.

So when it comes to seeing the truth, he can only look at Han Sui's head.

He was really scared in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "General Han, the state army is surrounded, and Ma Teng's camp behind him has not been breached, if they are flanked from both sides, what should we do?" ”

"It's better for us to withdraw to Liangzhou, and we won't participate in the war in Chang'an, let them fight to the death first!"

It is rare that Dong Huang can still put forward a more reliable idea, and Han Sui is also a little moved.

However, 50,000 people were scared away by 10,000 people, and they didn't even dare to make a move, and Han Sui was still a little unable to pull his face.

Besides, just hearing about how heroic the Bingzhou army is, I have never seen it with my own eyes, no, I must have fought a battle, and then retreat.

What if Lu Bu is cheating? What if he brought 10,000 horsemen with him?

Han Sui agreed with Dong Huang to stop attacking Ma Teng's camp, and Dong Huang led his troops to defend against Ma Teng's army, which might come out to flank the attack.

He led his men in a battle with the Bingzhou army, and when the situation was not right, they retreated together.

Dong Huang agreed, after all, now that he has few soldiers, he can't run away by himself, so he can only rely on Han Sui's snort.

Han Sui gathered his remaining troops of less than 40,000, and he saw that Lu Bu's Bingzhou army was only divided into eight teams, and a simple formation did not seem to be a formation.

looked for Lu Bu's figure in the Bingzhou military array, and found that there was a Lu Zi military flag in each team, but he didn't see Lu Bu's silver armor and red horse's symbolic figure.

Han Sui ran out of patience, he ordered his subordinate general Hou Xuan to lead 5,000 people to attack the 1,000-man team of the Bingzhou Army on the far left, and Zhang Heng to lead 5,000 people to attack the 1,000-man team of the Bingzhou Army on the far right.

The two thousand-man troops of the Bingzhou Army, which were attacked by Hou Xuan and Zhang Heng, all used bows and crossbows to return fire from a distance, and they retreated while fighting, and withdrew to the rear of the front line of the Bingzhou Army.

And while Hou Xuan and Zhang Heng pursued the target in front of them, the nearest Thousand Men of the Bingzhou Army would attack them with bows and crossbows from their flanks.

If they turn around and attack the team on the side, the team of men who fled in front will turn back and attack them, and the team of people on the side will retreat in the other direction, and so on.

Their men would gradually attrition in such repeated tug-of-wars, and the range and accuracy of the long-range attacks of the state army were far greater than those of the Xiliang cavalry.

And if Hou Xuan and Zhang Heng dare to divide their 5,000 men into two and pursue the two teams and state armies at the same time, then the two thousand teams will withdraw in different directions, and at the same time, there will be a third and fourth thousand teams to join this cat-and-mouse game.

When Han Sui saw some clues and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, the two thousand-man teams composed of the most elite Dangkou Cavalry Reconnaissance Regiment hidden behind the formation also joined the cat-and-mouse game.

At this time, Hou Xuan and Zhang Heng's men had been reduced to less than 3,000 each, while the 10,000-man troops of the Bingzhou Army had no losses at all.

Lu Bu also gave the order, sounded the horn of attack, and all the thousand-man team no longer retreated, but rushed to the enemy who had been played for a long time, with crossbows, throwing guns, and hand-to-hand combat, and the Xiliang cavalry withstood wave after wave of attacks, and at the same time was rapidly attrition.

Han Sui saw that he was another 10,000 subordinates, so being played, surrounded, and reduced by the Bingzhou army, and his heart was dripping blood, he probably guessed how Yan Xing's 10,000 people didn't have it.

Although Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, he was surrounded by regiments and could not withdraw at all, and Han Sui was already dead in the idea of fighting.

While sending someone to inform Dong Huang to break through with him and withdraw to Liangzhou, he led the men and horses around him to rush to the left side of the candidate, and at the same time ordered Zhang Heng on the right side to move closer to him.

Dong Huang couldn't wait for a long time, and when he heard that Han Sui asked him to break through together, he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, but he did not arrange for the men and horses to break off, but chased after Han Sui in a swarm.

Just as Dong Huang's army began to retreat in confusion, the camp of Ma Teng, which had been quiet, suddenly sounded a long horn and rumbling war drums.

The camp gate was wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the two generals took the lead and walked out side by side. A red-faced man is Pound, and the other is a black-faced man, with complete armor, bright armor, and a big knife in his hand, which is very powerful and majestic.

The black-faced man, holding his big sword high, waved it forward, and the Ma Jiajun of the brigade behind him surged out, like a wolf and a tiger, shouting loudly in his mouth.

Of course, Dong Huang recognized that the black-faced man was Ma Teng. He didn't dare to turn around and resist, but only ran faster.

Ma Teng and Pang De led the Ma Jiajun and soon rushed into Dong Huang's army, and the two big knives were like chopping melons and vegetables.

Dong Huang couldn't wait to have two legs, but fortunately his mount was really a good horse, he ran fast, and he caught up with Han Sui very easily.

"General Han, quickly retreat, Ma Teng is coming up."

Without his reminder, Han Sui had already seen Ma Teng attack, which strengthened his determination to withdraw his troops.

He originally planned to let Dong Huang's men block Ma Teng's pursuers, but he didn't expect this kid to run fast. Dong Huang's army was completely unorganized, just scattered and fled like sheep, and they had already disrupted Han Sui's rear team.

Han Sui was indignant, but he was helpless, after all, the Dong family was a famous family in Liangzhou, and this time he was defeated back to Liangzhou, I am afraid there is still a lot to rely on.

Seeing that Han Sui's army rushed up, the Bingzhou army did not block hard, after all, the Xiliang army was still crowded, so they moved out of the way, but they turned back to the sides and continued to knock on the side.

After Han Sui and Hou Xuan converged, they desperately responded to Zhang Heng's remnants, but at this time, Han Sui and Dong Huang's subordinates were already in chaos.

In front and on the left and right, there were cavalry of the Bingzhou army constantly harassing, and Ma Teng's army behind was following with murderous tailing.

Although he was attacked by Han Sui all night, as the defending side, Ma Teng was properly dispatched, and he could also invest 20,000 troops to participate in the flanking attack.

At this time, Ma Teng already knew that his wife died at the hands of Yang Qiu, but fortunately, his three sons were safe and sound, and Lu Bu once again saved his family.

However, now is not the time to be busy repaying the favor, Pang De brought a message from Lu Bu, that is, to let Ma Teng's whole army attack and attack Han Sui's rear army fiercely.

Even if there was no request from Lu Bu, Ma Teng would not let go of Han Sui, and the hatred of killing his wife was not shared.

Han Sui saw that Ma Teng was chasing more and more closely, Dong Huang's subordinates were either killed in battle or surrendered, and a few people fled in all directions, and they couldn't resist for a moment at all.

Ma Teng had already caught up with Han Sui's rear army, and Ma Teng knew that there were many Qiang and Di soldiers in Han Sui's army, and he himself had half of the Qiang blood.

Ma Tengping is good friends with the Qiang people and the Di people, and he has close contacts, and he is a bold and chivalrous man, and although the prestige of the Fubo general Ma Yuan has passed a hundred years, it is still widely spread in the hearts of the Qiang people and the Di people, and he is respected as the "heavenly general".
