"Brother, withdraw!"

Ma Dai was covered in blood, sweat slid down his cheeks, and anxiously persuaded Ma Yi.

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was becoming more and more chaotic at this time, but the soldiers of the Chu State were becoming more and more disciplined, and the generals of the various departments took the lead in breaking through the formation, leading the soldiers to rush back and forth in the formation, and they could not be stopped at all.

"We are not much weaker than each other, we had a chance, Yan Xing mistook me for a big deal!"

Ma Yi spoke resentfully, and seemed to be very angry at Yan Xing's earlier fearful actions.

"Brother, now is not the time to be angry, if I don't retreat, even if my Liangzhou warriors are brave, they will definitely be defeated, and it will be too late to retreat then!" Ma Dai anxiously persuaded.

"Alas!" Ma Yi gripped the spear in his hand unwillingly, and almost a word popped out from between his teeth. "Withdraw!"

It's just that how can it be so easy to retreat at this time, the generals of the Chu State are all here, and the fighting spirit is high, if they are allowed to withdraw so lightly, where can everyone get to this day?

Even if the Liangzhou army bravely broke through the siege and fought desperately, it was still difficult to break through the interception of the soldiers of the Chu State.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

In the fierce interception, the soldiers of the Chu State kept chanting such slogans, but the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was stunned that no one surrendered, which was incredible. Even though the Liangzhou army was completely chaotic at the moment, even if they had no hope of victory, the warriors still fought bravely, and their personal combat strength did not weaken much.

It's a pity that the war does not rely on individual combat strength to win, no matter how brave they are, when they are scattered by the Chu army, when they lose the support of each other's military formations, and fight for each other, then defeat is doomed.

Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Yan Liang, Zhang Jing and others are very experienced. No matter how stubborn the other party is. In short, we are constantly expanding our advantages. Rush and kill in an orderly manner, but whenever the enemy gathers too many soldiers, they will immediately rush over and scatter, eliminating their chance to turn the tables, and at the same time bringing huge casualties to the opponent.

Of course, the Liangzhou soldiers worked hard enough, but no one could stop them from taking the lead in the charge.

The battle lasted for another half an hour, and Wang Xu tried his best to intercept Ma Yi, but in the end he was still under the desperate protection of Ma Dai and the Liangzhou warriors. Outlaw Escape!

Until this time, the iron cavalry in Liangzhou, which was still resisting, finally began to gradually give up resistance.

In this skirmish, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry paid a heavy price and returned defeated.

The unknown general who had fought against Zhang Jing earlier was besieged and killed by Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and Yan Liang because of his desperate death, but fortunately, Wang Xu asked to be captured alive in time, so he saved his life and was beaten by Dian Wei. Shoot the horse alive.

In this duel, Wang Xu won the final victory. The process was quite satisfactory, but when the losses were finally counted, his face was gloomy.

He didn't expect that in this victory, which quickly took the advantage, his own side would suffer so much damage.

Although the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is more miserable, this is not what he cares about, what he cares about is the combat strength and fighting spirit of the Liangzhou army, but the current loss situation is really difficult for him to accept, not to mention against those princes in the early years, even if it is the current elite of Wu and Wei, it is impossible to still cause such great damage to Chu in such an unfavorable situation as today.

He finally has an understanding of the bravery and martial spirit of the Liangzhou Army at this moment, no wonder Guo Jia said earlier that Liangzhou is difficult to fight, no wonder Guo Jia will say that he will know when he fights in person! Indeed, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to believe that the combat power and will of the Liangzhou Army were so terrifying, even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was obviously still greatly underestimated!

Not long after, the Chu army collected its troops and returned to the camp, Wang Xu didn't say a word, nor was he happy because of the victory, and quickly issued an order.

"Order the whole army to rest, retire tonight, and return to Wangxian!"

Yan Liang was puzzled: "Lord, we won the first battle, why do we have to retreat?" ”

"The purpose of our army has been achieved, why don't we retreat?" Wang Xu replied like this, and there was no more explanation.

The military order is like a mountain, no matter how puzzled the soldiers are, they must always be carried out, and those soldiers who did not go out with the army quickly began to pack up and prepare to withdraw the army.

In the evening of the next day, Wang Xu led this vanguard army back to Wangxian and joined the main army led by Wei Yan and others.

After settling the soldiers, he found Guo Jia alone as soon as possible.

"Fengxiao, I've seen the Liangzhou Army!"

"What does the lord think?" Guo Jia asked with a slight smile.

"As you said, the combat power is excellent, although the first battle is won, the loss of your own body is not small!"

"The lord has not yet met his most elite armies, and if he fights them, he will be even more surprised, and the lord will want to try again?" Guo Jia asked.

Wang Xu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't try again, I believe they are strong enough!" I just don't know how Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others fought against them in the past? ”

"My lord, in fact, the war in Liangzhou has always been very difficult, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and other generals will be ordered to fight the enemy in Liangzhou, there are many difficulties, but they don't want to complain, they don't want to add trouble to the lord! In the battle with Liangzhou, if defended, they relied on the danger, Liangzhou people because of the region and customs, has always been not good at attacking, because they are too brave, in the siege war once the soldiers kill bloody, do not use their brains much, do not listen to the command very much, it is easy to deal with, no matter how much training is useless, that kind of aggressiveness is formed from birth. ”

Of course, Ma Yi once wanted to solve this problem, and when he was young, it seems that he had trained and educated some Liangzhou people alone, but after that, they thought too much in their heads, and then lost their bloody and aggressive spirit. This can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, if it is taught by Han customs, it will become aware of etiquette and law, understand Swen, and naturally lose that brute nature! In this comparison, Ma Yi certainly hoped that the Liangzhou Army would maintain its own merits. ”

"Therefore, what the Liangzhou army is really good at is field warfare, especially in the climate and geographical conditions of Xiliang, which is particularly powerful, in the past, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other generals attacked it, it was all by plotting the layout, avoiding its sharpness, hitting its weakness, skillfully using the art of war, making good use of strategy, so it was equal! In this regard, except for a limited number of people in Liangzhou, most of the generals do not have it, and among the people of Liangzhou, those who are truly talented can see the innate weakness of Liangzhou, and they are unwilling to serve in Liangzhou, preferring to take refuge in others. ”

"For example, Wang Shuang, the newly rising general of the Wei State, and others are from Liangzhou, and even people who grew up under the school system built by Ma Yi, but in the end they went far to Cao Cao, and there are not a few such people, almost every year."

After listening to Guo Jia's story, Wang Xu was not surprised, but was quite sympathetic to Ma Yilai.

"No wonder since ancient times, famous ministers and good generals have said that Liangzhou is not the land of the king!"

"yes!" Guo Jia nodded in agreement. "According to Liangzhou, at most one side can be divided, but if you want to calm the world, how easy is it to talk about? The customs and culture of the various ethnic groups in Liangzhou are full of plundering and martial aspirations, and if they march into other rich states on a large scale, they will be resisted by the whole world, and the commander will not be able to restrain his subordinates from robbing the people and not killing people at every turn. ”

"But if you change the customs of the people of Liangzhou, let them accept education, know books and etiquette, then how can they still retain the current blood and bravery? The environment in which they grow and live has changed, so how are they different from the Han people in the states of the world? If that is the case, they have lost the advantage of being brave and good at fighting, coupled with the barren and backward geographical area and the harsh climate, wouldn't they be even more powerless to conquer the world? ”

"The subordinates don't dare to talk about the future, but at least now or in the past, Liangzhou does not have the ability to unify the world, so no matter what Ma Yi has done for so many years, the real heroes will always not be able to retain, and they will always defect to others, even if they are born in Liangzhou. It's not that they don't want to help their hometown rise, but because they have enough ability and vision, they don't want to assist a force that has no hope and can only be limited to one side. ”

"As for the heroes of other states, if it weren't for the strong kindness, it would be more difficult for someone to join them, after all, Ma Teng was born to the Han and Qiang women, and his sons Ma Yi and Ma Chao are the same, in the hearts of most people, they are simply barbarians, they can be used, but they must be ruled by them and regarded as the lord of the world, at least in the current period, it is absolutely unacceptable."

Wang Xu sighed: "Yes! But even so, Liangzhou is really difficult to fight! ”

"If the lord wants to unify Liangzhou, he must be prepared to accept losses!" Guo Jia replied in a low voice.

"Hmmm! I understand that in the future, I will try my best to listen to everyone's suggestions and seek victory! After speaking, Wang Xu waved his hand, not wanting to continue talking, and asked instead: "By the way, in the fierce battle before the battle yesterday, I saw two unknown generals, who were undefeated in fierce battles with Gan Ning and Zhang Jing, and I was very surprised, I don't know if you know their identity?" ”

"Can you describe your appearance?" Guo Jia frowned and said.

"Of course!" As he spoke, Wang Xu told Guo Jia in detail about the appearance of the two people yesterday, and also told him about the capture of one of them.

As his words fell, Guo Jia thought about it seriously, and then laughed: "If it is not expected, these two people are what the minister said earlier, among those people who are hidden in Liangzhou, they have never been in battle before, and they mostly do some military training on weekdays, but their reputation is very high, and they are also quite respected, maybe Ma Yi is ready to use it at the right time, and win with Qi, but he just used two people yesterday, but he suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of the lord, and it was really in vain." ”

"And what are the names of these two?"

"If the description of the lord is accurate, then the person who fought against General Gan Ning should be a native of Tianshui Ji County, Jiang Yu! As for the one who fought against General Zhang Jing first, and then rejected the enemy after the break, now as a prisoner, it should be Jiang Yu's brother, Jiang Xu! ”

"Jiang Yu? Jiang Xu? Wang Xu's eyes widened instantly, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Fengxiao, does Jiang Wei have a son named Jiang Wei?" ”

"Hmmm! There is indeed this person, who is ten years old, but has outstanding talent, it is said that he is deeply loved by Ma Yi, and often goes to visit in person, but there are needs, all are satisfied, and the minister is also curious, and has inquired about this son in many ways, but it is indeed very outstanding, but he has not seen it with his own eyes. Guo Jia explained in detail.
