Chapter 913: Attack on Chang'an
Ma Chao hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet the Marquis of Jin." β
"Meng Qi, it's not the first time you and I have met, so there's no need to be so polite." Lu Budao.
Seeing that the relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Chao was good, Han Sui's eyebrows added a trace of gloom, the reason why he raised troops to come was to see Ma Teng's intentions, he responded to Lu Bu, naturally in order to get Lu Bu's support, if it was because of Ma Chao, and let Ma Teng and Lu Bu have a better relationship, he would be a little dangerous.
Jincheng and Hanyang are approaching, Han Sui has been secretly guarding against Ma Teng, in terms of fierce generals, he has a big gap compared with Ma Teng, Ma Chao is a famous fierce general in Xiliang, but in terms of strategy, Ma Teng is not Han Sui's opponent.
After the group walked into the camp, Ma Teng saw that the Bingzhou army was neat and orderly, and the army was stationed in an orderly manner, and he added a touch of respect to Lu Bu.
The big tent of the Chinese army, but the high-ranking generals in the Bingzhou army gathered, and opposite the generals of the Bingzhou army were the generals under Han Sui and Ma Teng.
Lu Bu saw that everyone was looking at him, and said slowly: "Ben Hou was ordered by the Holy Lord to crusade against the rebel thieves Guo Yan, Li Dao and others in Chang'an, General Ma and Han Taishou were able to lead a large army to help at such a time, and Ben Hou welcomed it, and this matter Ben Hou will also be enlightened to the Holy Lord." β
Seeing that Lu Bu said that they came to help Lu Bu attack Chang'an, Han Sui felt a little unhappy in his heart, but this kind of dissatisfaction naturally would not be put on his face, after all, Lu Bu's position was there.
Later, LΓΌ Bu introduced the generals in the Bingzhou army to Ma Teng and Han Sui.
After everyone got to know each other, Lu Bu said slowly: "Attacking Chang'an, there is no delay, Benhou is determined to launch an attack on Chang'an three days later." β
After speaking, Lu Bu gestured to Jia Xu.
"There are eight city gates in Chang'an, and this attack on Chang'an, the meaning of the Marquis of Jin is to attack from three directions." Jia Xu said.
Ma Teng frowned slightly when he heard this, this time the state army dispatched 60,000 troops, and he and Han Sui only dispatched a total of 20,000 troops, if the two of them were divided into two directions to attack Chang'an, it would be a little bad, and he even doubted Lu Bu's intentions.
"During the siege, Huang Zhong and Wei Xu led an army of 15,000 to be in charge of the direction of the east gate, Zhao Yun was in charge of the direction of the south gate, Han Taishou and General Ma were in charge of the west gate, and the Marquis of Jin was in the middle of the command." Jia Xu said.
The generals of the Bingzhou Army, who were named by name, hurriedly got up and agreed, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's movements seemed a little hesitant in comparison.
"What do Han Taishou and General Ma have to say?" Lu Budao, this siege strategy, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui can't come, will be implemented, and now that the two of them have arrived, it will reduce a lot of trouble for the Bingzhou army.
"I have no doubts about the tasks assigned by the military advisor, but there is a lack of siege weapons in the lowly army, and I hope that the Marquis of Jin can support one or two." Han Sui said.
Lu Bu smiled when he heard this: "This is a matter of course, and later Han Taishou sent someone to come and collect fifty thunderbolts." β
"Thank you, Marquis Jin." Han Sui was overjoyed, although the number of fifty thunderbolts was not much, once it was in his hands, it was not so simple to get him to hand over the thunderbolts again.
"Commanded by humility." Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't mention other conditions, after all, Lu Bu had already given him the method of building a thunderbolt car, and if he wanted a thunderbolt car again, it would inevitably be true.
"I wonder how far the thunderbolt built by General Ma's craftsmen can throw boulders?" Lu Bu asked, since the relationship between the two sides is now an alliance, he has no intention of hiding it in this regard, how can he not see Han Sui's intentions, but he has not exposed it.
Of course, the thunderbolt car handed over to Han Sui is naturally not the most powerful thunderbolt car in Bingzhou, the thunderbolt car seems simple, and it contains a lot of truths, and with a little change, the power is not the same as in the past.
"One hundred and thirty steps." Ma Teng said truthfully.
Lu Bu said: "The thunderbolts in the Benhou army can barely reach a distance of one hundred and sixty paces, and General Ma can ask Meng Qi to go to the army later to receive fifty thunderbolts as an auxiliary. β
"Whoa." Ma Teng hugged his fists, one hundred and thirty steps to one hundred and sixty steps, which seemed to be only thirty steps away, but the role he played in the siege of the city was huge, and Lu Bu's behavior of not hiding his selfishness made Ma Teng very admirable.
Even Ma Chao's gaze at Lu Bu changed slightly, and he had a trace of doubt in his heart about the news that the envoy brought back from Bingzhou.
"When you return to the army, you should prepare carefully, and attack Chang'an in three days, and you will not allow the slightest omission." Lu Budao said that this time Ma Teng and Han Sui helped the Bingzhou army to attack Chang'an, and it was worth it for the Bingzhou army to pay some thunderbolts because of this.
After everyone dispersed, Ma Chao and a general under Han Sui stayed.
After arranging for Gao Shun to take the generals under Han Sui's command to collect the thunderbolt car, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Is Meng Qi a little dissatisfied with the Hou general Ling Ming's stay in Bingzhou?" β
"Don't dare." Ma Chao hugged his fists.
"Meng Qi, Ling Ming has been following Ben Hou for a long time, he has always been thinking about the kindness of the Ma family, Ben Hou broke through Xianbei, presumably Meng Qi also heard about it, Ling Ming deeply felt that Xianbei was important, and wanted to stay on the grassland and guard Xianbei." Lu Budao.
Although Lu Bu's explanation is reluctant, Ma Chao can also understand Pang De's mood, pacifying Xianbei and sealing the wolf, which is not regarded as the greatest glory in his life by a military general, Pang De can personally participate in it, and he will definitely have a sense of belonging to the Bingzhou army, and Lu Bu is a nominal general, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and he is irrefutable.
"Humble duty understands." Ma Chao said, and there was no previous stiffness in his tone.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Maybe one day, Meng Qi and Ling Ming will be generals under the command of Benhou, won't Meng Qi be able to see Ling Ming again?" β
Ma Chao's heart moved, from Lu Bu's actions over the years, he felt that he was a prince with great ambitions, but after he thought of his identity, he quietly put down the idea of taking refuge in Lu Bu, he was Ma Teng's son, and he would be the commander of the Xiliang Army in the future, so it was impossible to take refuge in Lu Bu so easily.
After the two chatted, Ma Chao said goodbye and left.
After getting the thunderbolt car, Han Sui was extremely excited, and immediately let the craftsmen in the army be responsible for the imitation, and at the same time, Han Sui was secretly complacent, sent troops to attack Chang'an, and was able to get such a sharp weapon as the thunderbolt car, and he was able to get the favor of the Marquis of Jin, no matter how you look at it, it was earned, and he was ready to take advantage of the attack on Chang'an, and it was best to get Lu Bu's support, in that case, who else could stop his rise in Liangzhou.
Three days later, the army outside the city moved, outside the east gate, a hundred thunderbolts were ready, a piece of boulder was next to the thunderbolt, on both sides of the thunderbolt was the fierce sun archers, the defenders in the city had 20,000 people, this was also to avoid the counterattack of Li Dao and Guo Yan.
