However, they still have confidence in Ma Teng, Ma Teng was controlled by Han Sui, but in this situation, Ma Teng recaptured Hanyang from Han Sui's hands, which is enough to see the power of his means.

"General, the heavy rain continues, and the enemy troops outside the city are definitely unguarded, if our army surprises the enemy army, maybe there will be some gains." One of the generals said suddenly.

Ma Teng vetoed the general's proposal after a little contemplation, and it can be seen from the situation of the enemy scouts outside the city that the enemy army has strong cavalry, and at this time the cavalry in the city is only five hundred, not the most elite Xiliang iron cavalry, if the raid on the enemy camp is gained, it is fine, once the damage is serious, it will definitely be followed by the turmoil of the army in the city.

"After you return to the army, you should train your soldiers carefully, and you must not slack off in the slightest, and after the heavy rain stops, the enemy army will definitely launch a fierce attack on Ji County." Ma Teng said.

The generals in the tent clasped their fists and applauded.

After everyone left, Ma Teng looked at the topographic map hanging on the wall, fell into a long silence, although the heavy rain eased the enemy's attack on Ji County, it still brought a lot of losses to Ji County, and if Ma Chao could not resist the attack from Lu Bu, then Hanyang would become a lonely city, and if the three armies were united in one place, Ji County would inevitably be in danger.

For the original choice, Ma Teng faintly regretted it, if he unswervingly stood on Lu Bu's position, Hanyang would not have today's disaster, as early as before Lu Bu, Han Sui, and Zhao Yang's tripartite army sent troops, Ma Teng asked Xiangyang for help, intending to let Liu Bei attack Wuguan to relieve the pressure on Hanyang, but he did not get Liu Bei's promise, Jingzhou at this time was not stable, Liu Bei would definitely not anger Lu Bu at this time.

Although the Bingzhou army said that it lost troops in the battle last year, its strength should not be underestimated, once it angered Lu Bu, the consequences are not something that Jingzhou can bear, and it can be seen from the battlefield in Liangzhou that Lu Bu's methods are so terrible, and the Chang'an army has just been formed, and it has such combat effectiveness.

Regarding the situation on the battlefield in Liangzhou, the detailed work of the princes has been continuously transmitted to the hands of the princes of all parties.

For some reason, the enemy army outside the city suddenly did not move, but Ma Teng's heart was full of uneasiness, after many years of fighting, Ma Teng would have an instinctive awareness of the impending danger.

After carefully looking at the topographic map in front of him for a long time, Ma Teng's eyes stayed on Weishui, which brought a lot of convenience to Ji County.

"If it rains heavily, and the enemy forces cut off Weishui, won't Ji County be wiped out." Ma Tenghuo stood up and muttered.

"Someone, order all the cavalry in the army to be dispatched to investigate the movements of Weishui, at all costs." Ma Teng ordered.

As soon as the cavalry in the city walked out of the city, the rumbling sound rushed from a distance, and a cavalryman looked at the rushing flood in a daze, and forgot to flee for a while.

In the face of nature, the strength of man is always fragile, even if the cavalry who have just left the city, struggling to flee into the city, they are still overwhelmed by the flood, they only let out a scream when the flood is about to submerge, and then disappear.

The torrential flood rushed into the gates of the city that had not yet had time to close.

"General, there's a lot of water outside the city." A general rode into the Taishou Mansion and shouted.

There was no need for the generals to remind him, as early as when there was movement outside the city, Ma Teng stood on the house, ignoring the pouring rain.

Seeing the rolling torrent coming, Ma Teng was discouraged, he knew that in this battle, the army of Hanyang had failed, and how many soldiers and civilians in the city would die under this big water.

"Han Sui, such a ruthless method, aren't you afraid that you will be retributioned in the coming day." Ma Teng scolded angrily, Ji County is the foundation of Ma Teng, he has been operating in Hanyang for many years, but under a big flood, he lost everything in front of him, and he didn't need to think about Ma Teng to know what kind of fate they would face once the big water stopped.

"General, now that the city can't hold it, retreat quickly." The commander of the guards persuaded.

Ma Teng imagined Ji County under the flood, but he shed tears, not only because of the defeat, but also because he lamented that everything in front of him was about to be destroyed like this.

"Withdraw, where to retreat, Ji County is the city of this general, even if he dies, this general will die in the city." After Ma Teng said this, the whole person suddenly became a lot older.

The commander of the personal guard hurriedly said: "Now that the major general is leading a large army to be stationed in Longxi, the general only needs to withdraw to Longxi and lead the troops to recapture Hanyang in the coming days." ”

"It's late, it's late, let's go, General Ben will stay in Ji County." Ma Teng sighed.

"I will not leave the general." The pro-guard commander holds his fists.

"Hu Shao, how long have you been following General Ben's side?" Ma Teng asked suddenly.

The commander of the personal guard replied without thinking: "I have followed the general for more than six years. ”

"It's been six years, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, after you arrived in Longxi, tell Meng Qi that you can't be the enemy of the Marquis of Jin in the future, the defeat of this general has nothing to do with the Marquis of Jin, if it wasn't for the general who listened to the words of others, how could there be today's situation." Ma Teng said.

The tears on the face of the "General......" pro-guard commander were mixed with the rain.

"Go, this is General Ben's last order." Ma Teng said, although he really wanted Ma Chao to choose to join Lu Bu, he knew that with Ma Chao's temperament, he would definitely not do so.

After a solemn salute, the commander of the guards looked for a piece of driftwood and walked slowly towards the outside of the city, knowing that he would probably never see his general again.

It was not until the second day that the water outside the city gradually receded, and the heavens seemed to see the tragic situation in Ji County, and heard the bitter cries of the people, and the heavy rain that had been falling for several days gradually stopped, and the sun was shining.

Under the illumination of the daylight, on the water inside and outside the city, the starting point is lit up, but in this light, there are floating corpses everywhere, and the houses in the city are everywhere are people who have taken refuge, and the crying has gradually stopped, and many people's expressions are not only happy, but also sad, a big flood will completely submerge the home they rely on to survive, Mo said that the food stored in the family and even their relatives have died under the water.

Since preparing to flood Ji County with big water, Han Sui and Li Ru secretly ordered the craftsmen in the army to build ships, and few northerners know how to water, and the boats built by the craftsmen in the army are also a little simple, but they can still be done simply for wading through the water.
