With Xue Wanche's shout, the prancing horse came out, and the archers in the door banner also fired ten thousand arrows under Yuan Tan's order.

For a time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry once again faced the baptism of arrow rain. Although Ma Chao was extremely heroic, he was still heartbroken and angry in the face of the rain of arrows that kept shooting all around him and the cavalry that kept falling.

"Sons, kill it! Rush with me! Let them know that my Xiliang Iron is very powerful! "Ma Chao's dragon cavalry in his hand kept flying the Yuan army, but under the leadership of Xue Wanche, the Yuan army did not mess up the formation, the cavalry and infantry cooperated together, although the impact was slightly inferior, but the advantage of numbers, the tacit understanding of the three armies of archery and cavalry, on the contrary, made the Xiliang cavalry restricted everywhere.

In particular, the crossbowmen on both wings did great damage to the cavalry, but they could not divide their forces to pursue, because the Yuan army in front would not give them a chance.

At this time, I saw that the crossbowmen on Yuan Shao's two wings suddenly fell into chaos, and it turned out that the soldiers under the command of Wei Ran and Gao Xianzhi went around and engaged Yuan Shao's crossbowmen in close combat.

Han Meng greeted Wei Ran, Chai Rong greeted Gao Xianzhi, they were also aware of current affairs, and they knew that they couldn't fight hard, so they had to lead their soldiers to fight and retreat.

When Yuan Shao saw this, he immediately ordered Zhang He and Gao Ran to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses each to support. The battle was stalemate, and the casualties on both sides were increasing, but at this time, Ma Teng was the only one who was in a hurry.

His strength is far inferior to Yuan Shao's army, if he continues to fight like this, then he can only lose in the end, and in desperation, Ma Teng still issued the order to withdraw the army.

After Ma Teng retreated, he immediately asked people to check the losses, treat the wounded, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to hold the camp tightly and not to fight.

He was very anxious and uneasy, and hurriedly asked Yao Chong for advice on how to break the enemy.

"This Yuan Shao has many generals, and there are countless military generals, and I can be the enemy if I am alone! Please Mr. Yao teach me what to do now! Yao Chong immediately replied: "Since the lord knows how powerful this Yuan Shao is, it is better to stop the army and retreat to Luoyang to see how the situation changes." Hearing Yao Chong say this, Ma Teng's face suddenly lengthened,

"If you want to withdraw from the army, what else do you want to ask Yuanzhi for? Since I have promised Yang Biao, I naturally want to carefully protect the safety of the Han family, how can I give up halfway, wouldn't this be ridiculed by the heroes of the world? Yao Chong shook his head and sighed: "If the lord wants to be the minister of Zhongxing who supports the Han family, then I am afraid that it will not be enough to fill in all the soldiers of Xiliang!" Not only Yuan Shao, but also Zhu Wen of Xudu and Wu Ming across Xu, Yang, and Jingzhou, none of them are ambitious, what ability does the lord have to fight them? In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to retreat for the time being, let them fight for life and death first, and when the time comes, the lord will take the people of Yongliang and go out of Chang'an and the Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be better? Although Yao Chong said very carefully, but at this moment, it couldn't enter Ma Teng's ears at all, he just said very unhappily: "If Mr. Yao doesn't have any plan, I will naturally discuss with others, as for the matter of confronting Yuan Shao, I have made up my mind, Mr. Yao doesn't need to say much." Yao Chong sighed, knowing that it was useless to continue, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Lord, although Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers, but the consumption will be much more, the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is four times that of our army, so the lord can only stick to Guandu, and when Yuan Shao's grain and grass are exhausted, he will naturally retreat." In addition, there are many fierce generals under Yuan Shao, and the lord can transfer General Ding Yanping and his righteous son Luo Cheng to block the generals of Hebei. Hearing Yao Chong's words, Ma Teng finally turned his anger into joy, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Yao said this earlier, wouldn't it be nothing!" Okay, I'll write a letter and transfer Ding Yanping and Luo Cheng to Guandu to help in the war. However, Yao Chong did not have a happy expression, he continued: "Lord, it's just that if these two people are transferred to Guandu, what if there are Qiang people in Yongliang Land to make trouble at that time?" Even Liu Zhang has always been eyeing the land of Hanzhong, and his subordinates are worried that the rear will be lost, so the lord needs to order a person to be stationed. ”

"I wonder who Mr. Yao thinks is the best person to send?" Ma Teng was also aware of the dangers of such a deployment of troops, but since Yao Chong had already considered it, he must have had a plan in his heart.

"The subordinates are not talented, they are willing to worry about the main centimeter, and they can also send General Ma Dai as a supplement, so that they can keep Yongliang worry-free!" However, Ma Teng hesitated, he had always relied on Yao Chong very much, and now that the war was imminent, if Yao Chong left, he would not have time to consult Yao Chong if he encountered any emergencies.

"Don't worry, my lord! Now that the official crossing is fighting, it will inevitably last, and the subordinates will not help here, and they cannot share the worries of the lord; If Yuan Shao comes out of the nest, the lord can send someone to Xudu and ask Zhu Wen to send troops to rescue him. If Zhu Wen refuses to send troops, then the lord will not talk about anything agreed upon, and he can withdraw his troops. It's just that the lord must remember that no matter when, you must not go out to fight Yuan Shao lightly, otherwise our army will definitely be defeated! Ma Teng sighed, bowed to Yao and said, "Thank you Mr. Yao for your advice!" I want to see what this Yuan Shao is capable of! On the second day, Yuan Shao sent Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and Zhang He Gaolan to attack Ma Teng's camp together, but Ma Teng only sent people to defend it and blocked it with crossbowmen.

Yuan Shao failed to capture it after attacking for a few days, and he lost his troops and generals, which made him very angry. At this time, Guo Tu offered a plan to let Yuan Shao suspend the siege of the city and rest for a few days, and then one day the army came out together and attacked the camp at night; It's just that at this time, Wei Ran saw through Guo Tu's plan in advance, but instead planned it, ambushed it, and rushed to kill, causing Yuan Jun to suffer heavy losses again.

Yuan Shao originally wanted to cure Guo Tu's crime, but was persuaded by everyone to avoid it. In this way, Yuan Shao sent a large army to attack the Ma Teng camp from time to time, but he could not overcome it.

The two armies have been facing each other for more than a month, but there has never been a good solution. On this day, Xin Ping offered another plan, and made a set of women's clothes according to Ma Teng's figure, and attached a letter, which said: Shoucheng is a general of the imperial court and the elite of Yongliang, and he should be strong and persistent, serve the country, and fight with me, so that the husband will do it.

Now she is greedy for life and afraid of death, and she can't shrink back, how is it different from a woman? If General Fubo is reincarnated, he will be ashamed of you!

If Brother Shoucheng still has a sense of shame, he will quickly go out of the camp and fight to the death with me, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be worthy of the name of a hero!

If you don't dare, it's better to accept this women's clothing, which is extremely gorgeous, and you can please the soldiers, how wonderful! After reading Yuan Shao's letter, Ma Teng couldn't help but be furious, immediately drew his sword, stabbed the messenger to death with a sword, and then smashed the women's clothes in the box, and shouted: "Yuan Shao'er dares to humiliate me so much, how can I rest with him!" Come on, pass the order, the three armies are exhausted, I want to fight Yuan Shao to the death! ”
