Ma Chao returned to his handsome tent with a pale face, he began to go to the battlefield at the age of twelve, fought for many years, and was defeated so badly for the first time, a tentative attack, even put more than 3,000 lives into it, but he didn't even go up to the city wall, he was driven back in embarrassment, and more importantly, the morale of the army was low, and even the generals around him were afraid of Huaili and Gao Shun one by one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Aggrieved, wretched, since his military career, it is the first time that he has fought such a wretched war and lost so badly.

"Major General." Pang De came in with the curtain, and seeing that Ma Chao was still sulking, he bowed down and said: "The emotions of the soldiers have calmed down, but the morale is still low." ”

"I didn't expect that the little Huaili City would be so difficult!" Ma Chao snorted, thinking of the purgatory-like scene before, he hated itchy, but he was helpless, if Gao Shun had been guarding it like this, then there would be no need to attack this city.

Shaking his head, Pang De said with a smile: "The young general is too worried, fire oil is a scarce material, Gao Shun is far away, this kind of thing, it can't be too much, if you attack the city again, I'm afraid the city won't be able to take out so much fire oil, but this trick is the first to take the lead, it is really unexpected, our army is now demoralized, and then I want to break through Huaili, this battle can be fought, but just now the scout came back with a message." ”

"Oh?" Ma Chao raised his eyelids and looked at Pound: "I'm afraid it's not good news, right?" ”

Pang De nodded helplessly and said: "Before the scout came to report, a group of men and horses came out of Huaili and rushed to Wugong, which should be the garrison of Wugong, because the candidate failed to arrive at Wugong in time, so that Gao Shun combined the two troops together, so that he had enough men and horses to fight with us, otherwise even if our army's offensive was blocked, Gao Shun would not be able to send troops to pursue our army in a short time." ”

"What about the candidates? He went ahead of us, how could he let the martial arts men and horses come to Huaili to fight? Ma Chao stood up with a pale face.

"It's still in the Yixian area, and it's only thirty miles a day." Pound said a little helplessly, and the candidate made it clear that he wanted to work and not contribute.

"Bastard!" Ma Chao slapped the top of the table with a fierce slap, and the huge force directly smashed the entire tabletop, and roared angrily: "Candidate dog thief, it's a big deal for me!" ”

"The major general is angry!" Pang De hurriedly persuaded: "After all, the candidate is Han Sui's man, and it is not our turn to take care of it, in the final analysis, this matter is a grudge between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"No matter, since you have agreed, you will naturally do a good job, send someone to inform the candidates, and immediately send troops to surround the martial arts, even if you don't fight, don't let the martial arts army come to me so easily to cause trouble!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, and said senran: "Otherwise, I will solve him first!" ”

"Yes!" Looking at Ma Chao's expression, Pang De knew that if Ma Chao was not allowed to breathe this evil breath, Ma Chao would really dare to do so, and send someone to inform the candidate at the moment, of course, if he really handed over the original words, the candidate would probably turn his face directly, and naturally add some modifications, but the meaning was transmitted.

……

"This Ma Chao, do you really think you are the coach?" In the temporary tent of the candidate, looking at the attributes sent by Ma Chao, after sending the messenger away, he directly threw the letter into the brazier on the side, and snorted coldly.

"General, then we don't have to pay attention to it?" The adjutant general looked at the candidate carefully.

"No, speed up the march, before sunset today, rush to Wugong, but just watch Wugong, otherwise, Ma Chao's madman may really raise troops to attack directly." Hou Xuan snorted, although he didn't take it seriously, but Ma Chao is the nominal general after all, if he is really too out of line to provoke a madman, maybe he really dares to raise troops to attack, and when the troops are equal, Hou Xuan really has little confidence to win against Ma Chao.

……

Early the next morning, in order to prevent the same situation yesterday, Ma Chao ordered Pang De to bring a group of men and horses to Maoling to contain the Maoling soldiers and horses, and Ma Chao personally commanded the battle.

Although the morale has not recovered, Ma Chao is not ready to continue to wait, Lu Bu has few soldiers, but the Xiliang army has come thousands of miles to attack, and the supply of grain and grass is very difficult, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Xiliang army, he is the main general, if he has no achievements at all, he will go back in disgrace, it will be a big blow to his prestige, and now Ma Chao understands why Han Sui gave him the position of the main general very happily this time.

This battle is thankless, there is no benefit in winning, the responsibility for losing is all in the main general, and he has to let his soldiers and horses in front, and he is the one who has the most casualties.

But now it's too late to figure it out, the task has been taken, I don't know how many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself, he is also riding a tiger now, knowing that this bone is not easy to gnaw and has to be hard.

The fierce Xiliang warriors carried the ladder and braved the rain of arrows shot down from the city tower to the city wall fiercely, Ma Chao divided the 10,000 infantry into five brigades, and launched a wave of strong attacks on the city.

At the head of the city, Gao Shun calmly commanded the battle, calmly adjusted the layout of the overall city defense, without the oil, the next battle, it will return to the right track, the soldiers on both sides of the city wall sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, the battle has been fought so far, there is no strategy available.

Ma Chao can become the general of the Five Tigers in the future, but it is not only rude and tough, but also has a set of leading troops to fight, and the Xiliang Army is under his personal command, and the morale is actually boosted little by little, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce.

On the third day of the fight, Gao Shun gradually felt that he couldn't bear it, even though the Xiliang army suffered heavy losses, the defenders also paid a lot of price.

At the beginning, Lu Bu gave him 10,000 soldiers and horses, Xu Sheng and Chen Xing each received 3,000, stationed in Maoling and Wugong respectively, and Gao Shun was handsome 4,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Huaili, but until now, the soldiers and horses in his hands have been less than 3,000.

"General, if you continue to fight like this, it won't take more than two days, I'm afraid the city will have to be breached." Another wave of attacks retreated, and seeing that the Xiliang Army was attacking again, the deputy general came to Gao Shun's side and said with a bitter face.

"We are struggling, and the enemy army cannot afford to spend it, and the loss of a siege is more than twice as much as that of defending a city." Gao Shun threw away the war knife that had been curled in his hand, wiped the blood on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to release the arrow!" ”

"General, our army has no arrows to use now." The adjutant said astringently.

"Gone?" Gao Shun was stunned, took the war knife sent by his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "You go to the city to collect straw, pounce on the city wall, collect arrows shot by the enemy, and then let the soldiers tie some straw men, thinking that they are suspicious." ”

Night battles, whether it is for the siege or the defenders, are disadvantageous, but the vision is blocked at night, but you can use some grass piles and straw men to borrow some arrows from Ma Chao.

"Whoa!" When the adjutant general heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and led people down to the city to collect straw.

Gao Shun looked at the Xiliang army under the city, and spat fiercely, as long as Ma Chao was contained, with the urine shown by the candidate, I am afraid that he would not take the initiative to attack, therefore, the battle of Huaili is the key, once Huaili is broken, I am afraid that the candidate side will not mind taking advantage of the fire to rob, in the same way, if Huaili can be held, it will be difficult for the Xiliang army to cross the thunder pool by half a step, so, no matter what, he has to be nailed here like a nail!
