Chapter 1106: Perseverance
"Only to die and tremble!" Ma Zongheng, who was mentally weak, shouted loudly, and after saying that, his momentum soared, and his face was solemn: "A few days ago, Feiyu sent a quick report, saying that something happened in Xuzhou, Tao Qian had lost his life, and it was rumored that the big-eared thief sent assassins to kill Tao Qian and his family. Qing and Xu were originally in the pocket of the big-eared thief, and presumably the big-eared thief would never let Chen Gongtai transfer these two places to Lu Bu's hands in vain. So it's very likely that the big-eared thieves will soon be gone. In addition, Shu Zhi also came with news that he led the Bai Yu Essence Department to successfully stop the offensive of the 'Xiahou Double Tiger', and the Red Devil Er also led his troops and horses to kill his back. But if Lu Bu really wants to take Xuzhou, he will definitely withdraw soon, so the pressure on the south of Yanzhou will be greatly reduced in an instant, and Gongming will deal with a mere Du Ji, which is no problem! In other words, the most important thing right now is time. As long as we gain time, under the hard work of the generals, I believe that the battle situation in Yanzhou will continue to improve!! Therefore, instead of retreating, we must cheer up, and we are determined to fight to the death with the Cao thief, first overshadowing the Cao thief in momentum, making him timid!! ”
As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, all the soldiers felt that their hearts were strong, and there was a hot flame rolling in their stomachs, and they all vibrated in response. Soon, with Ma Zongheng's order, the generals went out to boost morale, and the people and horses of all departments heard that the battle situation in Yanzhou would soon improve, as long as they fought for a period of time, the danger of Yanzhou could be resolved, all of them had a strong spirit, and each echoed with their voices, and for a while, the momentum in the camp of the Ma family army was quite large.
And just when the voices of the various departments were surging, in Ma Zongheng's tent, Ma Zongheng's face was tense, his face was tense, and he wiped the position behind his armpits, and then stretched out his hand to see that it was full of blood, this injury was not long ago, Ma Zongheng fell into the siege of Cao's army, and was attacked by Dian and Xu, and was accidentally cut by Dian Wei. It was said that the battle was very thrilling, and if it weren't for the speed of Chiwu, Ma Zongheng would probably have died by now.
"Three days, at least I can hold out for three days, if after three days, I can't repel the Cao thief, the consequences are unimaginable!" Ma Zongheng said loudly, under the fierce battles, Ma Zongheng knew that he was about to reach the critical point. He understands that he is the pillar of the army, once he falls, the will of the whole army will collapse instantly, that is to say, once he falls, then the Ma family army here in Changfeng River will be declared extinct!
On the other side, Cao Cao, who was discussing, suddenly heard the momentum coming from the opposite side, and couldn't help but change color slightly, so he led the generals to visit.
I saw that the men and horses of the other army were holding their weapons high and roaring. When Cao Hong saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "These thieves of the Ma family have been fighting so far, and now they are even more down, and they still have such a spiritual fighting spirit?" ”
"Hehe, Zilian, this is your loneliness. That Ma family child has this kind of magical power, and he can often stimulate the morale of the three armed forces in critical moments. If Cao's prediction is correct, I am afraid that the Ma family has already informed the three armies that the decision to fight to the death has been made. At present, Ma Jiajun has abandoned the way to retreat, and there is only one way to fight to the death, life and death lie in a battle, and their morale is high. Cao Cao smiled brightly, his eyes were full of admiration, and at the same time, he smiled at Liu Ye behind him: "Hehe, it seems that this time there is no need to promote your clever plan." ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Liu Ye's face couldn't help but change slightly. It turned out that a few days ago, Liu Ye expected that Dingma Zongheng would see that the situation was not good, and he would probably retreat in a hurry, offering Cao Cao, but if Ma Zongheng withdrew his troops, he would lead the cavalry to rush and kill, defeat the Ma family army in one fell swoop, and kill Ma Zongheng. Cao Cao listened to it at the time, but he didn't have much excitement, just nodded lightly and said a word to wait and see.
"It seems that the lord had already guessed that the Ma family would not leave, so it was useless for me to plan at that time. Fortunately, the lord is clever, otherwise he wasted a lot of time and energy to prepare, and in the end he was busy in vain, and I, Liu Ziyang, am afraid that I will become a laughing stock in the army. Liu Ye changed his mind, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The lord is like a god, Ye admires." ”
"Haha~! The Ma family is determined to fight to the death, but it is exactly what Cao Mou wants, such a hero of the world, if he can't personally lead the army and defeat him, wouldn't it be a pity!? Ziyang, you hurry up and prepare, as soon as the first shift arrives, you will immediately attack with a thunderbolt. Zilian, you lead the army to guard the front army to prepare for the attack of the other army. In addition, the generals will rest early tonight to recuperate. Order the three armies, tomorrow officially start the battle of the gods, within three days, be sure to take down the head of the ghost god Ma Xi!! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, it was like thunder, and in an instant, all the soldiers raised their arms and roared, and shouted "Zhu Shen", as Cao Cao's orders continued to be conveyed, the upper and lower troops of the Cao army responded and shouted, and for a time the momentum was vigorous, and it overshadowed the Ma Jiajun.
"Lord!!" Zhang was in a hurry, without informing, he rushed into the tent, and before he could react, he suddenly heard a snoring sound like thunder, and when he reacted, he found that Ma Zongheng had fallen asleep.
"It turns out that the lord has been holding on all along!" Zhang was slightly discolored, and there was an indescribable love in his heart, so he slowly turned out. When he was young, Zhang Ji walked out, and Su Ze hurriedly greeted him, and said busily: "How is Brother Zhang, how does the lord react?" ”
Zhang Ji's eyes narrowed, and he said with a solemn expression: "The Lord Justice is resting, and don't disturb him." As one of his subordinates, how can I let the lord bear all the pressure!? ”
As soon as Zhang's words came out, Su Ze couldn't help but feel strong, and he also bowed his head and said: "What Brother Zhang said is very true!" Cao's army is so powerful, and said that our army will be broken within three days, and I am afraid that an offensive will be launched tonight, so I will first order all troops to prepare. ”
"The thunderbolt of the Cao thief is sharp, you can order all the men and horses to retreat thirty zhang back!" Zhang said with a shocked face. When Su Ze heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he said hurriedly: "But if you retreat thirty zhang back, once the other army rushes to kill, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to kill in time, so won't our army lose all the advantages!?" ”
"At present, all the armies are tired, and no one dares to imagine how fierce the next three days of fighting will be. Now the most important thing is to keep the strength of the troops, not to mention that if the Cao army comes to attack, it must first rush through the high slope, so it will also cost a lot of body, our army is firmly guarded in the rear, and more time has been gained!! Zhang Ji's face was stern, and Su Ze rarely saw Zhang Ji show such a face, so he couldn't help but change his expression, and then hurriedly replied: "Okay!" Then it's all according to Brother Zhang's orders!! ”
So, Su Ze led Zhang Ji's order, and pulled the army back thirty zhang, at this time, the Ma family army suddenly became a little quiet, and from time to time you could hear bursts of snoring like thunder.
Gradually it was dusk, and the men and horses of Cao's army had already begun to eat in the stove. Cao Jun, who was next to the Changfeng River, heard the sound of ghosts and snoring coming constantly, and many people showed a look of horror. After all, often after the ghost god has rested and recovered some spirits, he will lead his troops out to make a surprise kill. And they were guarding the front camp, and they were the first to bear the brunt, so they naturally couldn't help but tremble, afraid that when the snoring would stop.
"Haha, you coward, so far in the war, that ghost and god have always been just an ordinary man, not to mention whether those demoralized Ma family thieves dare to come to a surprise attack, even if they really come, they are all the end of the strong crossbow, I will be able to solve it in a moment when we all pounce."
"Hey! Listening to this, maybe Lao Tzu will be able to capture the ghost god Ma Xi in one fell swoop, and also take a marquis of ten thousand households to be a pawn~~!! ”
"Joke, just rely on your three-legged cat kung fu, don't be cut in half by that ghost god with a knife, let's watch the master shoot him off the horse with an arrow!!" Seeing that several Cao soldiers were discussing with each other, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but be emboldened when they heard it. At this moment, the snoring stopped, and everyone was silent, not daring to speak, and many people even broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, suddenly the terrible snoring came slowly, and the generals and soldiers of the Cao army were relieved.
"Wait for these little cubs, eat quickly, after tonight, there will be no time for you to eat from tomorrow!!" At this time, Cao Hong's voice suddenly sounded. All the soldiers hurriedly reined in and ordered their subordinates to eat quickly.
Cao Hong's eyes widened, and he patrolled with several generals under his command for a while. A soldier with an indifferent expression then said to Cao Hong: "General Cao, listening to this snoring, I'm afraid that the ghost and god are resting, but I'm afraid that as soon as he wakes up, he will launch a surprise attack as before." Should I prepare first, just in case? ”
When Cao Hong heard this, his face froze, and in the face of Ma Xi, he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, not to mention that it was the critical moment to decide the victory, and he immediately shocked: "You are right, quickly order everyone to speed up eating, and then martial law!" ”
But as soon as Cao Hong's voice fell, the sound of killing suddenly became loud, and on the high slope opposite the Changfeng River, he saw a team of cavalry rushing down like an overwhelming force. Seeing this, Cao Hong's face changed, and he hurriedly taught everyone to quickly prepare for the fight.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and he saw that Zhang Ji was the first to rush and rushed across the Changfeng River first. As soon as Cao Bing hurriedly rushed up to block him, he was knocked over by Zhang Ji.
"Even if you wait for the rats, you are also delusional to punish the gods!? My lord is brave and brave in the world, how can you and other rats be able to hurt him!? Listening to Zhang Ji's amazing shouting, he danced a spear in his hand, flew and barked, and rushed all the way to kill, and many Cao soldiers were killed by him with a quick shot. Zhang Ji's deployment was eye-catching, and he also rushed to fight. Cao's army was unprepared, and he was killed so much that people turned on their backs and became a mess.
Just in the middle of the conflict between Zhang Ji, he suddenly heard an angry shout, and hurriedly looked over, and saw a person slapping a horse and dancing a knife coming towards killing, it was Cao Hong is also!
"Cao Zilian, I'll meet you for a while!!" Zhang Ji thought that Cao Hong was Cao Cao's henchman, and if he could be killed, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the morale of Cao Jun. Cao Hong listened to Zhang Ji's drink, his eyes were round and angry, and he immediately galloped to meet him: "Even you, a nameless junior, dare to come and risk Lao Tzu's prestige!? Looking for death~~!! ”
Between the lightning and flint, Cao Hong flew to meet Zhang Ji, and danced the big knife in his hand, which was a quick slash. Zhang was agile and quick to provoke, knocking Cao Hong's offensive away one by one. Although Cao Hong's strength is great, Zhang Ji's marksmanship is exquisite, and after being taught by Ma Zongheng over the years, he also has a good understanding of the Ma family's Fubo marksmanship. I saw that Zhang Ji and Cao Hong fought faster and faster, and gradually there were dozens of rounds. Zhang Ji's deployment saw that Zhang Ji killed Cao Hong, and his morale was greatly shaken, and he immediately went to kill him. Cao Hong also reacted with a lot of deployments and resisted it. So, the two armies scuffled.
At this time, suddenly, in the camp of the Cao army, drums and trumpets sounded, and the sound of killing was everywhere, as if a large number of soldiers and horses were coming to kill. Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Zhang did not like the war, so he hurriedly pulled his horse and withdrew. Cao Hongjun had not yet stabilized his position at this time, and seeing that Zhang wanted to flee, most people did not react, but Cao Hong refused to give up, and immediately shouted and scolded angrily, and rode his horse to chase and kill.
