Chapter 339: Dong Zhuo arrives
Ma Chao looked at it from afar, and the cavalry that stayed on the south side of the battlefield was written on the big banner with a big "Dong" character!
Ma Chao understood, it turned out to be Dong Zhuo here! It's no wonder that this kind of despicable and shameless thing is like his style. Who let him be defeated by himself in the Battle of Fufeng, and his troops were defeated, so he hated him?
On the battlefield, the four armies were caught in a delicate balance and a terrible silence.
On this side, Dong Zhuo was remorseful and said to Li Ru: "Alas! If our family can also have one person and four horses, and the speed is faster, we will definitely be able to take advantage of the horse's attack on the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry, and storm the fragile back of the Xiliang army, so that the horses can also taste the taste of defeat! Who would have thought that this horse would be so agile and decisively withdrew, avoiding being attacked by our army. ”
Li Ru smiled: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be depressed. Even if his father-in-law failed to defeat the Xiliang army, as long as he could obstruct the Xiliang army from pacifying the Baibo army, after a long time, Ma Chao could not lead the army into Beijing, and his larger strategy would fail. ”
Fan Chou said: "Lord, the Xiliang army has just fought a decisive battle, and it must not be as abundant as our army. Why not attack? ”
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and said with palpitations: "In the last Battle of Fufeng, the Xiliang Army broke through the official army, and they still had the physical strength to pursue our army, and then set up an ambush to defeat our army. In such a fierce battle, the Xiliang army can maintain infinite physical strength. And what about today's war? It's only been a moment. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army eat beef and mutton all day long, and they will collect the corpses of war horses on the battlefield at the worst. There must still be stamina. ”
Li Dao said: "My lord, the Baibo Army and the Hun cavalry have just been defeated by the Xiliang Army, and they hate the Xiliang Army to the core. As long as our army takes the lead in charging the Xiliang army, the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry will definitely follow and attack the Xiliang army together. ”
Dong Zhuo shook his head steadily and said, "Who knows if the Baibo Army and the Hun cavalry will have the courage to attack the Xiliang Army after this fiasco?" What if our army took the lead in attacking the Xiliang army, and the Baibo army and the Hun cavalry, who were already frightened, did not dare to follow up, but took the opportunity to escape? The Xiliang army only needs to kill our army, so won't our army be finished? ”
"It's still the lord who is thoughtful."
Li Ru seconded: "Besides, my father-in-law only has these thirteen thousand horsemen at present. Even if Jin Machao loses 20,000 horsemen, although he can't enter Beijing, as long as he returns to Liangzhou, he will immediately be able to pull up another 20,000 troops. And if the father-in-law's thirteen,000 horsemen are lost, it will be difficult to replenish the troops. So father-in-law, if you are not sure, you can't attack the Xiliang army at will. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "That's a good point." Anyway, the task given to us by the general is just to do everything possible to prevent Ma Chao from completely pacifying the Baibo Army and delay time. As long as our family has been restrained, the White Polish Army and the Hun cavalry may not be able to turn defeat into victory. When the time comes, they will be able to avenge our family. ”
"The father-in-law is really wise, and the son-in-law admires it!" Li Ru smiled flatteringly.
And on the north side of the battlefield, on the side of the White Polish Army and the Hun Cavalry, the White Polish Army and the Hun Cavalry were originally in separate formations and not together. But after this defeat, the two armies had to be close together.
Looking at the sudden Dong Zhuo army, Guo Taidao: "That cavalry, I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend?" They came, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse? ”
Hu Chuquan angrily pointed to the banner of the word "Dong" and said, "Big brother, that's the song of Dong Zhuo, the general of Dangkou!" They often wander back and forth in Henan, robbing our Xiongnu men, cattle and horses, and ruining our Xiongnu women! They are here, it seems that they are helping Ma Chao and helping to abuse! ”
Man Pet shook his head and said, "No. This Dong Zhuo did not come to help Ma Chao, but wanted to take advantage of Ma Chao to lead the army to attack our two armies and sneak attack the rear of the Xiliang army. ”
Yang Feng said happily: "That's great! This Dong Zhuo also has more than 10,000 riders, and his strength is not bad. If our two armies attack the Xiliang Army again, Dong Zhuojun will definitely join us and attack the Xiliang Army together! ”
Hu Chuquan said angrily: "Dong Zhuo is the enemy of our Huns!" There must be no alliance with them! ”
Guo Tai still had lingering palpitations about the strength of the Xiliang Army just now, and said: "Our two armies have just suffered a defeat, and the soldiers are panicking, and it is estimated that it is not wise to attack the Xiliang Army. ”
Yang Feng said: "And in my opinion, not only our two armies dare not attack the Xiliang Army, but I am afraid that Dong Zhuojun will not dare either." If our two armies rashly attack the Xiliang Army, but Dong Zhuojun does not dare to follow up, the Xiliang Army will be able to attack our two armies with all their might......"
"So what to do?"
Mrs. Guo and Yu Fuluo both said, "Let's wait and see." ”
On the east side of the battlefield, on the side of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, and Liyi surrounded Ma Chao.
Zhang Xiu said angrily: "This old thief Dong Zhuo hasn't tasted enough defeat, and he still wants to sneak attack our army!" Thanks to my brother's cleverness and timely collection of troops, otherwise it would have been possible for this old thief to succeed! ”
Looking at Dong Zhuojun's formation, Ma Chao's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Pang De said: "Young master, this Dong Zhuo will have bad intentions when he leads the army. The White Polish army and the Hun cavalry were again dormant on the side. If one of these two sides takes the lead in attacking our army, the other side will definitely take advantage of the danger and rush forward! I'm afraid it's not good that our army has to face so many enemy troops! ”
Ma Chao smiled disdainfully and said, "Ling Ming rest assured, with my understanding of Dong Zhuo and my judgment of Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo, the two mediocre talents, they will never dare to really attack our army." Even if they really have the courage to attack our army, they will sit back and wait for the other side to strike first. And they did not dare to come out, so they would never dare to attack our army. ”
Koji Yi said: "Then young master, which enemy army should our army choose as the main target of attack?" ”
Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Our army only has 15,000 horsemen here, and the three enemy armies combined are several times larger than our army. Don't act rashly. ”
Zhang Xiu said: "Brother, do you want to withdraw to Linfen City first and think about it in the long run?" ”
Ma Chao nodded and said, "That's for sure, but before I go back, I'll go and meet Dong Zhuo for a while." ”
Saying that, Ma Chao hit his horse and rode towards Dong Zhuojun alone.
Dong Zhuo saw it, and also led Li Ru, and the two rode towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao stopped Xiaobai, laughed, watched Dong Zhuo come over slowly with a person, first saluted Dong Zhuo on horseback, and said: "General Dong, don't help the wind, don't come unharmed!" ”
Dong Zhuo also smiled, bowed his hand, and said, "General Ma, are you okay?" Oh, our family almost forgot that General Ma is no longer a general, but Guangluxun, one of the Nine Qings! Should we call you, Ma Gong? ”
Ma Chao smiled: "What is unfair? General Dong is older than me, how dare I let General Dong call me Ma Gong? General Dong might as well call me a general. ”
