Chapter 829: Blind Eyes
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun reflects half the sky.
Huaili County, on the city floor.
Ma Tie was wearing armor and stood on the city tower looking into the distance, with a solemn expression on his handsome cheeks. Among the Ma brothers, Ma Chao is handsome and outstanding in martial arts, and is called Jin Ma Chao in the romance. However, it's not just Ma Chao who is handsome, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu are not bad, they are all talents, and they are also idol-level figures in later generations.
Ma Tie suddenly found Wang Can's soldiers, and he was very surprised.
Ma Teng and Han Sui rushed to Xinping County with a large army, while Wang Can's soldiers attacked Huaili County, which was very strange.
Therefore, Ma Tie's heart was full of worries.
He propped his hands on the city wall, his expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Just today, Wang Can's soldiers actually appeared outside the city, and they still wanted to blend into the city, which is too unexpected. Although they were discovered by me, according to the news sent back by the soldiers who investigated the news, there were more than 20,000 soldiers sent by Wang Can, which was not easy to deal with. β
The voice fell, and Ma Tie let out a long sigh.
Beside him, a partial general hugged his fists and said: "Today, thanks to the wit of the son, I can see through the trick, otherwise it will be unimaginable." β
Ma Tie smiled, still with a smug smile on his face.
Although Ma Tie was a little worried in his heart, he was very happy when he heard the compliments of the general. Ma Tie smiled and said: "Liang Jun, we don't have many troops, do you think we can defeat Wang Can's 20,000 army?" β
Liang Jun immediately said: "If you have a son, you will definitely be able to defeat Wang Can's army." β
After a pause, Liang Jun said again: "The eldest prince is famous in Xiliang, and he is already very respected by the lord. Now Gongzi finally has the opportunity to lead an army alone, as long as he can defeat the 20,000 troops outside the city, Gongzi will be able to become famous in Xiliang. When the time comes, even if it is the lord, he will look at it differently and rely on the son. β
When Ma Tie heard this, a flash of brilliance suddenly burst out in his eyes.
Although Ma Teng's family is very united with the enemy, and Ma Teng's son has a good relationship on the surface. However, when it comes to the question of who will inherit the inheritance after a hundred years, Ma Tie also has other ideas in his heart.
Liang Jun saw that Ma Tie was moved, and his heart was even more excited.
This Liang Jun has always been a partial general under Ma Teng, and his ability is passable.
However, Liang Jun's mind is not small, he once wanted to take refuge in Ma Chao and become Ma Chao's minister. However, Ma Chao has an arrogant temperament, pays attention to celebrities, and disdains the unknown Liang Jun. Therefore, Liang Jun threw himself into Ma Tie and became Ma Tie's henchman, and now he is stationed in Huaili County with Ma Tie.
Liang Jun is ambitious and has always wanted to climb up, so he naturally hopes that Ma Tie will be more relied on by Ma Teng. Only in this way can the two armies continue to rise and become powerful people.
Ma Teng did not have a clear heir, and the son under his knee must have an idea.
This is the case with the struggle for power.
Ma Tie listened to Liang Jun's words, and his heart was excited for a while.
After a while, Ma Tie died down again. He said worriedly: "Liang Jun, my father recruited 60,000 troops from Huaili, there is a shortage of soldiers in the city, and we only have soldiers defending the city, so we can't take the initiative to attack." There were 20,000 enemy troops outside the city, and the disparity in strength was too great. It's almost impossible for us to win! β
Even though Ma Tie's heart is hot, reality and ideas are obviously not on the same line.
Liang Jun wants to encourage Ma Tie to fight for power, and he will not open his eyes and see Ma Tie discouraged.
Liang Jun said in a deep voice: "Childe, we haven't tried it yet, how do we know that it won't work?" Anyway, you have to find a way to give it a try, and what if it succeeds? How happy the lord would be to get the news that Gongzi had defeated Wang Can's 20,000-strong army! When the time comes, Childe will be able to get ahead. β
Ma Tie looked at Liang Jun, nodded, and asked, "Liang Jun, what can you do?" β
Liang Jun didn't think about this problem in his heart, he just kept encouraging Ma Tie and letting Ma Tie fight for power.
Seeing Ma Tie asking, Liang Jun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a solution, and said, "Son, isn't our Huaili County close to Weishui?" There are many rivers around, and we can attack them with water! β
Ma Tie asked again: "How to attack by water?" β
Liang Jun replied: "If you want to attack with water, you must first lure Wang Can's army to pursue, and when you reach a certain position, you will definitely win a battle if you flood the army." We are short of troops, and if we confront Wang Can's army head-on, we will definitely not be able to win. But we can use fire attacks, water attacks, etc., which can defeat more than 20,000 soldiers. β
When Ma Tie heard this, he shouted hello.
Immediately, Ma Tie said: "Liang Jun, you are really my right-hand man, with your advice, I don't have to worry about it." β
Liang Jun said excitedly: "Childe has the grace of knowing the last general, and the last general should do his best to live up to Childe's high expectations." β
Ma Tie snorted and said, "We are stationed in the city, and we will definitely not be able to complete the task of luring Wang Can's army. Therefore, it is necessary to send soldiers to choose where to release water and where to lure Wang Can's army. Only by completing it step by step can we defeat Wang Can's army of 20,000 in one fell swoop, although it is difficult, but it is feasible. β
Ma Tie and Liang Jun summed up and made a plan.
However, the two didn't know that Lu Meng and Fa Zheng already had a plan to deal with Huaili County.
Ma Tie's plans have just come up with them, but they are likely to be stillborn and unable to carry them out. However, Ma Tie has such ambitions, and he has the confidence to resist Lu Meng.
At this time, Ma Tie was undoubtedly full of ambition and wanted to make a contribution.
Time is slipping away, and the sunset on the horizon is sinking.
On the castle tower, I don't know when the torches have been lit. The soldiers looked serious and were patrolling carefully. Because of the daytime events, the soldiers on the city tower were very vigilant, afraid that Lu Meng would lead the troops to attack the city overnight. Ma Tie had already gone to rest, while Liang Jun was still patrolling the castle tower. He is one of the generals who defend the city, so naturally he can't be as easy as Ma Tie.
The bright moon rose into the sky, illuminating the night.
LΓΌ Meng, Huang Xu, and Dian Man led the army to set off and kill the county seat of Huaili County.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
Under the silent night sky, the rumbling war drums sounded continuously, breaking the silence of the night. At the same time, the sound of horns also came, and waves passed into the county.
The sound of majestic war drums and passionate horns came and went.
The loud sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, causing the birds that roost around to flutter and flutter and spread their wings in fright, and flew away into the distance, not daring to stay here.
An army of 20,000 quickly approached the county seat.
On the castle tower, the patrolling soldiers heard the sound of war drums and trumpets and immediately waited for them.
Ma Tie also put on his armor and walked out with his weapon. Standing on the city tower, he saw that Liang Jun was arranging fortifications, and nodded secretly. There are enough defensive equipment on the city tower, coupled with the sturdiness of the county seat in Huaili, it will definitely be able to block Lu Meng's attack, so Ma Tie is not afraid.
As long as he can block the attack, he has a chance to defeat Lu Meng.
At this time, all the people on the city tower were staring at the outside of the city, attracted by the great battle put forward by Lu Meng. They looked in the direction of Lu Meng, but they didn't notice that there were fast-running figures on both sides of the county.
These figures are soldiers of the Wolf's Tooth Battalion.
They did not rush head-on to the city tower, but LΓΌ Meng led the troops to attract Ma Tie's attention. With cover, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion could easily advance from the hidden places on both sides of the tower. Zhang Hu and Liu Yang ran quickly with dozens of soldiers from the Wolf Tooth Battalion, and it didn't take long for them to reach the city tower.
They leaned against the walls and gradually approached the gates.
Lu Meng rode on a horse and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Hu, Liu Yang and others arrive safely.
He put on such a large lineup, which was to make the people on the city tower blind, everyone looked outside the city tower, but did not pay attention to the movement below the city tower, so that Zhang Hu and the others could relax.
On the city tower, Ma Tie's heart was full of doubts.
He stared closely at LΓΌ Meng and his 20,000 army, waiting for LΓΌ Meng to attack the city, but LΓΌ Meng led his troops forty zhang away from the city tower and did not move. Ma Tie looked at Liang Jun and asked; "Liang Jun, Lu Meng came with soldiers, but he didn't let the soldiers attack the city, what kind of trick is this, is it a bluff, is it deliberate?"
Liang Jun also looked puzzled and shook his head to show that he didn't understand.
The two of them were full of doubts, as were the soldiers on the castle tower.
However, not a single soldier looked down at the situation below the castle tower. While they were full of doubts, the soldiers of the Wolf's Tooth Battalion had already reached the gates of the city.
