Chapter 532: A fleeting warplane
Dongyang County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Liu Bei's 8,000 army has been trapped here for dozens of days, Liu Bei in order to quickly attack Chang'an, did not carry a large amount of heavy grain and grass, each person only carried half a month's rations, and now the food has long been eaten, if it wasn't for Guan Yu to lead people to grab some food, these recruits would have mutinied.
But now the morale is also low to the limit, every day there is a news of the soldiers fleeing privately, at the beginning of Liu Bei in order to calm the hearts of the people, not only did not punish, but comforted with good words, but did not want the desertion to become more and more serious, Liu Bei had to order Guan Yu to lead the soldiers to patrol day and night, with those who left the army without permission ~ kill without mercy ~
Guan Yu, who was covered in blood, hurriedly rushed inside, only to see Liu Bei's face pale, looking at the screen in the hall in a daze.
"Big brother~" Guan Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The grain and grass in the army have bottomed out, and the food of the people in the city has almost been grabbed, if you don't think of a way, the soldiers may mutiny~"
"Alas~"
Liu Bei sighed deeply, shook his head tiredly, and said: "Second brother, Bei has been loyal to the Han family all his life and strives to benefit the people, but he doesn't want to be ashamed of his eldest brother even if he competes with the people for subsistence now~"
Guan Yu comforted: "Big brother, this is also a last resort, if we have food in the army, when will we reach out to the people to be stronger than food?" As the saying goes, those who make big things are informal, and when we capture Chang'an, the eldest brother will be exempted from the taxes of the people of Dongyang. ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Second brother, do you know why the enemy army besieged my army but did not attack it?" ”
Guan Yu said: "Naturally, because the enemy's strength is stretched, and although our army is small, the walls of Dongyang City are taken into account, relying on the defense of the city, the enemy army can't take any advantage." ”
"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course, as the second brother said, the most fundamental reason is that the enemy army does not want to attack the city, they are trying to delay time." ”
"Procrastinating?" Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be that the enemy army still has reinforcements coming?" Isn't our army in this way~Isn't it~"
Liu Bei waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Zhang Bao personally mentioned that the army is fighting with Cao Cao, but the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Guo Tu is placed on Ma Teng's body, and they will not have reinforcements for a while. Bei is worried about the safety of Luoyang! ”
"Huh?" Guan Yu was puzzled: "When I came, the eldest brother left 5,000 people in Luoyang, and there are military advisors and third brothers sitting in Luoyang, what is there to worry about?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Big brother is uneasy. Luoyang seems to be in our hands, but it is just an appearance. The court officials headed by Wang Yun and Zhang Wen handed Luoyang into our hands at the beginning because our power was weak and easy to control. Later, he obeyed the strategy of the military advisor and showed weakness everywhere, so he got the military power of Luoyang. Now that the army is out on the march, the city's air defense is weak, and as long as there is a foreign enemy at this time, the officers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will inevitably give up the military division and the third brother in exchange for the safety of Luoyang, which is what Bei is worried about. ”
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Even so, the military advisor is unparalleled in wisdom and resourcefulness, and the third brother has ten thousand enemies, even if there are people in the court who want to be unfavorable to them, I am afraid that I can't help it." ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and didn't answer, just shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Pay close attention to the enemy's movements, if the enemy army is a little negligent, let's rush out, trapping Dongyang is not a way after all!" ”
"No!"

Jincheng County, Ma Teng Mansion.
Jincheng County, Ma Teng Mansion.
After Ma Chao led the army to the expedition and Fu Xie sent an envoy to the Qiang people, Ma Teng ordered people to recruit troops to drill and prepare to meet the enemy. Ma Teng and Pang De in the house were discussing military affairs, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the urgent and shocked voices of the guards sounded.
"The Major General is back~~"
Hearing that Ma Chao returned, Ma Teng instinctively felt bad, Huo Ran stood up, and after a while, he saw Ma Chao unkempt and hurriedly entered, bringing some strength to extinguish the candles in the hall. Ma Chao and Pang De looked at each other, and found that Ma Chao's armor was stained with blood, and a wolf's tooth arrow with the thickness of a thumb pierced through the shoulder blade, and the sharp arrow cluster flashed a hideous cold light under the light of the fire~~
"Chao'er!" Ma Teng hurriedly stepped forward to support Ma Chao, and said eagerly, "Why is Chao'er like this?" ”
"Father~" Ma Chao saw the licking of the calf in Ma Teng's eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said sadly, "It's all children who are incompetent, and the six thousand iron cavalry are all wiped out, Brother Dai ~ Brother Dai ~"
Ma Teng was shocked in his heart, and said sharply: "What's wrong with Dai'er?" ”
Ma Chao choked and said: "The thief army is treacherous, secretly releasing cold arrows, Brother Dai blocked an arrow for the child, until this time I don't know whether I live or die~"
"How so? How so? Ma Teng took a step back in surprise and said again and again, "Where is Dai'er now?" How can you, as an elder brother, not protect your brother's safety? ”
Ma Chao said ashamedly: "At that time, the child killed the enemy with all his might, and the sound of the fight overshadowed the sound of the whistling arrows, and when the child found out, Brother Dai had already jumped up." Child~"
"You~you~" Ma Teng trembled angrily, and scolded sharply, "As a brother, you can't protect your brother's safety, what's the use of keeping you?" Come on, come on~"
"Lord~"
Pang De hurriedly stepped forward and motioned for the two Xiliang soldiers with their backs to retreat first, and then comforted, "The battlefield is fighting, the sword has no eyes, but the major general is bent on killing the enemy, how can he be distracted all the time?" Moreover, although Young Master Dai was hit by an arrow, fortunately he did not die on the spot. The lord can be in a hurry, and it is imperative to heal Young Master Dai's injuries. ”
"Yes, yes~" Ma Teng patted his head and scolded loudly, "Come on, gather all the Langzhong in the city, and if you can't save Dai'er's life, let them all be buried together." ”
"No!"
The two pro-soldiers took the order and left.
"Whew~"
Until this time, Ma Tengfang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had come to his senses, and said urgently: "The six thousand iron horsemen under your command, even if you are not defeated by Gao Shun's army, can't you still run away?" How could it be annihilated? That's a whole 6,000 cavalry! ”
"Father doesn't know anything~" Ma Chao said bitterly, "Gao Shunjun is definitely not a new army, its army is brave in battle, and has good command and dispatch, it is not an exaggeration to call it an elite soldier." The child saw that he could not be defeated, so he wanted to withdraw his troops, who would have thought that he had just run to a valley, but suddenly from the slope of Liangce Mountain, there was an enemy ambush shooting a rain of arrows, and there were many flammable things in the valley, and the valley was on fire. ”
"Lord~" Ma Teng had not yet spoken, Pang De said with a solemn expression, "The soldiers under Gao Shun's command fought bravely, trained well, and set up an ambush in the valley, resulting in the annihilation of our army, it seems that Gao Shun is not only good at training, but also brave and strategic, such a person is extremely difficult to deal with." The future of our army in this war is worrying! ”
Ma Teng said with a bitter expression: "It seems that the only hope is that Nanrong can move to the Qiang people to rescue the soldiers!" ”
"Lord~"
Ma Teng's voice fell, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then Fu Xie, who was dressed in green clothes, crossed the door, rushed to Ma Teng, and said loudly: "Xie Xing is not dishonored, and the king of Burning Dangqiang has promised to send troops with a group of large and small tribes!" ”
"Good!"
Ma Teng Huoran got up and said happily, "Nanrong has a lot to do." ”
Fu Xie hesitated: "It's just that I got lost and asked the lower officials if they could send some thank-you gifts with the rest of the small tribes, which has made them enthusiastic about fighting." ”
"Hmm!" Ma Teng bowed his head slightly, glanced at Ma Chao, and thought of Gao Shun's reinforcements, so he said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, the military advisor will consider it!" ”
"No!"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The Yellow Turban Army was in the main formation, Zhang Bao, who was dressed in dark iron armor, looked at the battlefield with a deep face, seeing that Cao Hong's defeated army actually ran to the right flank of the Cao Army, his face changed, and his rich battlefield experience made him seize the fleeting opportunity, and said urgently: "Good opportunity!" Where are the heralds? ”
The herald snapped: "The last general! ”
Zhang Bao's cold eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said sharply: "Quickly order Xu Chu to lead the cavalry to cover the killing from the right flank of the Cao army, and force more than a thousand Cao troops to the front of the Cao army!" ”
。。。。。。
Cao Jun's main formation.
Cao Cao's confidant Guo Jia also realized the potential crisis at the first time, and hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "The lord is not good, and the disaster is serious!" ”
"Huh?"
Cao Cao's expression changed when he heard this, and his slightly narrowed eyes widened.
At this moment, the sound of rolling horses' hooves gradually rose from the north, Cao Cao looked back in shock, and the Yellow Turban Iron Horseman, who had been eyeing the Yellow Turban Iron Horse in the upper reaches of Danshui, finally began to move, cutting towards the front of Cao Jun at an oblique angle, and the terrible thought swept through Cao Cao's mind in an instant, according to the sprint speed of the Yellow Turban Iron Horse, it was just right to rush to the front of Cao Hong's army before the rout.
Driven away by this group of tiger and wolf horses, Cao Hong's rout, who had become a frightened bird, changed the direction of escape and ran straight towards Cao Jun!
"Lord, the Yellow Turban infantry has started crossing the river again!" A layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Guo Jia's forehead, and he hissed, "The pikemen of the Yellow Turban Chinese Army have crossed the hoplites and are speeding up, and it seems that they are going to take advantage of the chaos of our army's position to break through in the middle!" ”
"The Yellow Turban light infantry on the left and right flanks is also spreading to both sides, ready to outflank our army!"
Cao Cao's face was pale, and the cold breath all over his body seemed to freeze the air around him, and on dog days, the generals around Cao Cao felt cold to the bone! It's not that he doesn't know where the danger is, but he can't give an order, he definitely can't give an order, once he orders the soldiers to shoot his robes, even if the soldiers are forced to shoot these routs in desperation, his reputation in the future will fall to the bottom in the hearts of these soldiers!
"My lord, General Cao Hong's rout is about to retreat to the front of our army, if you don't make a decision, you will have to rest!"
Xun You took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord, when it is broken, it will be broken!" ”
Cao Cao looked at the rout with an expressionless face, and at this moment, a loud shout behind him pierced the sky, "Order, warn the rout, pass quickly from the front of our army, never stop, let alone move closer to our army, and then let the archers get ready, once the rout enters the firing range, immediately release arrows to kill!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, Huo Ran turned his head, and his long narrow eyes revealed murderous intent, but Cao Ren greeted him calmly, not afraid. A look of relief flashed through the depths of Cao Cao's eyes. It turned out that Guo Jia understood Cao Cao's thoughts, so he signaled to Cao Ren that among the generals, Cao Ren was highly respected by Cao Cao, had a high prestige in the army, and was Cao Cao's subordinate, and he was the only one who could give orders instead of Cao Cao at this moment.
"General." The commander hesitated, "These people are all robes, huh?" ”
"Choking~"
In the piercing sound of metal rubbing, Cao Ren pulled out his sword, his face was hideous, pointed directly at the herald, and scolded sharply: "Herald, otherwise die!" ”
The herald trembled and said, "The villain obeys!" ”
