The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 576 Huang Zhong shoots arrows again!

Frankly speaking, if both sides are at the peak of their own strength, Lin Xi should not be Ma Chao's opponent.

But the current situation is that Ma Chao is only 16 years old this year, and Lin Xi is only 19 years old. Both of them are still in the stage of rapid development, and the advantage of Lin Xi being a few years older has emerged.

In addition, in the past few years, he has often consulted and discussed with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other top fighters in the world, and he has also taken advantage of skills.

So as soon as the two played against each other, Ma Chao felt something was wrong.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Ma Chao's forehead was covered with sweat and he was out of breath.On the other hand, Lin Xi was still in a stable state, with a look of ease.

Right now his father is fighting Zhao Zilong in front, the situation is urgent, but he can't continue to fight with this person, otherwise it will delay the big event!

Ma Chao was in a hurry to break out of the encirclement, his heart felt ruthless, and the attack of the long spear in his hand became more and more fierce.

"Little baby is so angry, it's just that your martial arts are so clumsy, but it's hard to escape!"

Facing Ma Chao's fierce offensive, Lin Xi just sneered, without any fear, and the two continued to fight.

In the past, when Lin Xi faced the enemy, he always played desperately like Saburo.But today facing Ma Chao, an enemy younger than himself, Lin Xi was a bit teasing, and was not in a hurry to defeat Ma Chao, but just procrastinated.

Young Yingjie, right?

Bravery is extraordinary, right?

Even the lord and brother praise you, right?
Take a shot at me before talking!
Seeing Ma Chao's distraught but helpless look on his face, Lin Xi felt very happy.

It's a pity that this kind of Zhang Yide's joy did not last long.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, and when Ma Chao's physical strength was gradually exhausted and Lin Xi was sweating profusely, there was a sound of fierce fighting from behind.

Turning around, it turned out that it was Ma Teng who led the army to retreat.

First, seeing that Ma Chao hadn't returned for a long time, he guessed that the rear might also be ambushed by the enemy, and couldn't help worrying about the safety of his eldest son.

Both, he really couldn't stop Zhao Yun's attack.In less than a hundred rounds of fighting, Ma Teng suffered several gunshot wounds, all thanks to Zhao Yun.

The reason why he has not been defeated is thanks to Zhao Yun not killing the killer.

Due to Zhao Yun's natural benevolence and kindness, his combat effectiveness fluctuated greatly.

When fighting against the wind, Zhao Yun's lethality was weaker than Zhang Fei's.

But if he is really going to be cornered, Zhao Yun's performance is better than Guan Yu's!
The next battle in Linyi City before was the best manifestation.

Seeing that Zhao Yun could not be stopped, Ma Teng turned his horse's head and walked away, thinking that after reuniting with his son, they would fight out of the encirclement together.

"Father!"

Seeing Ma Teng approaching, Ma Chao, who was fighting Lin Xi, immediately shouted, which immediately attracted Ma Teng's attention.

"If you're distracted from fighting with someone, you're courting death!"

Seeing this, Lin Xi suddenly felt insulted, shouted loudly, and stabbed with all his strength.

Keng!
After hearing Ma Chao's yell, Ma Teng rushed over and swung his spear out, blocking the blow for his son.

"Don't love to fight, hurry up!"

With a roar, Ma Teng replaced his son as Lin Xi's opponent, and urged his son to leave first.

Ma Chao is also suffering and can't tell, why does he want to fight again, but the enemy general who appeared out of nowhere in front of him is obsessing him, otherwise he would have transferred the army to help.

As expected of a veteran on the battlefield, Ma Teng fought Lin Xi for several rounds, then forced Lin Xi back with a feint shot, and rushed out with his son the next moment.

The Xiliang army is also worthy of being an elite army. Although it is inferior to the Xuzhou army in terms of combat power, it still maintained a certain formation and mobility during the retreat.

At this moment, after receiving Ma Teng's order to break through, they shouted together and charged forward.

Seeing this, Lin Xi couldn't help frowning slightly, and stopped fighting, but retreated.

Ma Teng has nearly 2 people under his command, while Lin Xi has less than 6000 people under his command.After cutting off Ma Teng's food delivery brigade in the middle, although Ma Teng and his son were surrounded, it also meant that he would be attacked from the back.

Especially when Ma Teng led the army to fight back, Lin Xi's formation of thousands of people could not stop the two sides of Ma Teng's army.

"Scatter the surrounding array and let them go!"

After retreating to the handsome platform, Lin Xi spoke to Xu Huang.

"As ordered!"

After thinking for a while, Xu Huang understood Lin Xi's meaning, and clasped his fists in response.

The goal of this battle is food and grass, not Ma Teng's army.

Now that Ma Teng and his son have fled, and their own side has obtained food and grass, everyone is happy.

If you insist on destroying the enemy soldiers, the two sides will inevitably fight to the death. At that time, you will kill [-] enemies and lose [-], which is not worthwhile.

Furthermore, Yuan Shu entered the game with the mentality of taking advantage. If you really want to beat him too much, the pain is so painful that he can't accept it, then he will inevitably fight you like a red-eyed gambler.

When Ma Teng and his son were still rushing forward with great difficulty, they suddenly felt that the resistance ahead was a little less, and they were overjoyed.

"Kill it out!"

At this critical moment, Ma Teng didn't have time to think about the reason, so he could only continue to charge, and he rushed out of the encirclement of Lin Xi's subordinates in a short time.

At this time, Zhao Yun from behind also rushed over, looking at the carts of food and grass left over from Ma Teng's breakout, he couldn't help but smile.

"Zixu, you did a good job!"

With these provisions, this battle can be said to be a complete success.

Lin Xi looked at Ma Teng and his son who were going away, and asked, "Brother, do you want to continue the pursuit?"

"Naturally we have to chase, after all, there is still half of the food and grass not in our hands." Zhao Yun smiled, "But don't force it too much. They bring the grain trucks, so we will chase them. They put down the grain trucks and escape, so let them go."

"As ordered!"

Lin Xi clasped her fists in response, then stepped on the horse again, and led the soldiers under her command to charge up.

In the distance, Ma Teng, who had just escaped from birth, saw that the enemy army behind him did not catch up immediately, and immediately recalled it.

"Liu Xuande is here to rob food!"

Ma Teng said with regret on his face.

Ma Chao was puzzled: "But father... except for the general, only Yuan Benchu ​​knows the route and time of our food delivery. Why did he, Liu Xuande, know so well and set up an ambush here?"

"It goes without saying that it must be Yuan Benchu's confidant, who has his Liu Xuande!" Ma Teng said angrily, "Yuan Benchu ​​has a false name, and Liu Xuande's eyeliner has already been put on his side without knowing it, and he is still invincible?

It doesn't matter if he loses, but for no reason he has caused the death of a certain subordinate, it's really hateful!
"Father, what shall we do now?"

Ma Chao couldn't understand these twists and turns, but the enemy army was still following him at the moment, so he couldn't help feeling anxious, so he asked.

"We've lost this battle, and we can only hold back the enemy army and preserve our strength by completely abandoning food and grass." Ma Teng said, "Order to order the soldiers to abandon all the supplies and vehicles one after another. Evacuate quickly!"

Ma Teng is also a bachelor, and would rather give up food and grass at critical moments than preserve his own strength.

"But...if the general blames me after I go back..." Ma Chao hesitated.

"Blame the ass!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng's anger could not be suppressed on the spot, and he cursed: "It was Yuan Benchu ​​who had spies under his command, which led to the failure of a certain success. Even if he is a general, why should he blame him? What should I do if I lost my army this time? Who to blame!"

The soldiers and horses under his command were all brought from Liangzhou by himself.For every death, there is one less. In the wave just now, I am afraid that two or three thousand people were lost.

Thinking of this, Ma Teng's heart aches so badly that he can't breathe!
"Father, the child understands."

Ma Chao nodded, and immediately ordered the soldiers to abandon the baggage vehicles and continue to evacuate.

Then, a very weird scene happened next.

Ma Teng and his son ran in front, while Lin Xi led the army in pursuit.Whenever he was about to catch up, Ma Chao ordered some grain trucks to be abandoned, and Lin Xi paused for a while, scattered some soldiers to collect the grain, and then led his men to chase again...

This cycle went on and on, and finally after an hour, all the food and grass brought by Ma Teng were thrown away, and Lin Xi stopped chasing.

Of course, Lin Xi did not fully obey Zhao Yun's order.

Especially when Ma Chao gave up the last wave of supplies, Lin Xi came directly without talking about martial arts, not only did not stop, but chased even tighter.

However, this wave only killed Ma Teng by surprise, and it was impossible to cause much damage to Ma Teng's troops.

But in the melee, Huang Zhong suddenly took off the longbow behind him.

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is bright, and with the addition of torches, Huang Zhong's eyesight is finally better than usual in the dark night.But he didn't imagine that this arrow could hit Ma Teng, he just shot a tentative arrow at Ma Teng's banner.

If you shoot the big banner, you can gain a lot of credit for nothing.

No hit, no loss.

In this wave, you can't say that Huang Zhong's idea is wrong, nor can you deny Huang Zhong's archery skills.

But the luck thing...it might have a mind of its own.

Huang Zhong shot an arrow, and Ma Teng's banner in front of him was safe and sound. Just when Huang Zhong was full of regret, he heard a scream.

"It hurts me so much, whoever stabs someone in the back is simply in vain as a son of man!"

Ma Teng yelled loudly while clutching his butt, his eyes were full of grief and indignation.

Two quarters of an hour later, the pursuit that was destined to be impossible to succeed ended, Ma Teng endured the pain in his buttocks, and finally led the troops out of the pursuit range of the Xuzhou army.

When Lin Xi turned back and returned to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun had already ordered people to assemble the grain and grass trucks, and when Lin Xi came back, he would return with the grain and grass together.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Boyuan, you go back to Taoqiu first, and present the battle report in front of the lord. A certain army and provisions will arrive later."

"As ordered!"

The fastest man in Xuzhou, Zhang Xiu clasped his fists in response, and accepted the order with great joy.

……

Taoqiu City.

It was a good time for the full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival. Although Liu Bei had no education, he had the air of a literati in his bones, and he insisted on dragging Lin Chao and others to enjoy the moon.

Helpless, Lin Chao had no choice but to obey.

Seeing Lin Chao's agreement, Liu Bei was overjoyed. In the evening, he ordered people to lay a carpet in the pavilion in the courtyard, and at the same time prepared fine wine and meat.

Of course, the mooncakes made by Lin Chaoxin are also indispensable.

At night, when Zhao Yun and Lin Xi were fighting with Ma Teng, Lin Chao was also not allowed to rest, and was forced to lead a group of people to enjoy the moon in the courtyard with Liu Bei.

The moon tonight is indeed big and round, Lin Chao was a little reluctant at first, but after the moon rose, Lin Chao gradually became interested.

Recalling my military career in the past few years, and thinking of Zhongshan Anxi's home in this life, I can't help but feel a sense of loss.

Homeland affection has always been an inseparable part of the soul of Chinese people.

Looking at the bright moonlight, Lin Chao couldn't help laughing, but there was a hint of ignorance in the smile.

"One year spent similar, each year is different……"

Hearing this, Xun Yu, who was bored next to him, suddenly became interested, and admired all over his face: "The sentence that Zi Chu sang just now has a bit of charm, but a certain talent is not learned, and I don't know what kind of poetry it is."

"Wen Ruo praised it absurdly. This was done indiscriminately by someone, and it cannot be considered elegant."

Lin Chao smiled modestly, but shamelessly took this line of poetry as his own.

It's not that Lin Chao doesn't want to brag, it's just that the mainstream of this era, after all, studies a subset of classics and history.Poetry, however, is nothing more than the emotions of literati in their spare time, and it is indeed not valued.

Seeing Lin Chao's modesty, Xun Yu didn't go into it any further. He just recited it a few times, but he felt more and more interesting, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.

But at this time, Liu Bei, who was the initiator of Moon Appreciation, had already lost interest.

What's so good about a big disc, it's better to drink and have fun with everyone!

Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

To be honest, the gameplay of admiring the moon is too high-end, and it is really not suitable for Liu Bei.But Liu Bei couldn't stand it, but he wanted to be arty, which turned into throwing stones at his feet.

But Liu Bei is always a man with a way. He quickly ordered people to clean up the yard, set up a bonfire, and then invited everyone to sit around the bonfire... BBQ!
As the aroma of the meat gradually rose, a good moon viewing suddenly turned into a barbecue meeting.

Now Liu Bei was in high spirits, eating barbecue in his mouth, and couldn't help inviting everyone to drink.

After drinking too much, he simply took off his coat and started bragging to everyone with his bare upper body.

This scene, this operation, is no different from the middle-aged greasy man at a roadside barbecue stall in later generations, with the same hot eyes.

Seeing Liu Bei like this, the generals under his command immediately followed suit.

For a moment, demons danced wildly in the entire courtyard, and it was impossible to look directly at it.

"Zi Chu, come, drink this cup to the brim, and celebrate Zilong and Zixu's achievements in advance!"

Seeing that Lin Chao didn't seem to want to blend in with the cheerful atmosphere, Liu Bei simply came over, stretched out his long arms, hugged Lin Chao's neck, and laughed loudly.

"Eh...the court is too strong to drink, Duke Xuande..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei had already handed over the wine bowl.

That probably means, why don't you drink my bowl at Zichu?

Lin Chao was helpless. Considering personal hygiene, he had no choice but to raise the wine bottle in his hand and drink it all in one gulp.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Zi Chu is a good drinker, let's have another bowl!"

Lin Chao: ...
