Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1394 King Vs King Four

"Hahaha!!!" Ma Chao broke Cao Ren's joint attack with one move, and burst out laughing: "Cao Bandit, is he so incompetent that he can't even take thirty rounds from me!"

"Damn it!"

"Too fierce!"

"This beast is so fierce, it's hard to resist!"

"How to do?"

Cao Ren and Yu Jin looked at each other, their pupils were full of helplessness, they joined hands and were defeated by Ma Chao within only three or four confluences.

It's really a shame.

The bigger problem is that if Ma Chao cannot be stopped, their main force will not be able to withdraw. As long as the main force cannot be withdrawn, the chaos will continue, especially now that it is dark. After nightfall, the problem of darkness will envelop many soldiers. At that time, they will lose their minds and become more chaotic. If the Ming army cannot be stopped, the influence of the Ming army on them will increase exponentially, and they may directly defeat tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Come again!"

Ma Chao became more and more courageous as he fought, and his ferocity was boundless. In his hand was a golden spear with a tiger's head, like an arm.

"puff!"

The combination of the two went wrong, and Yu Jin didn't block it. With the force of the gun, Cao Ren was hit, and the gun was slapped hard on his chest, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

The whole person was a little wilted.

"General Zixiao!" Yu Jin stared at Ma Chao fiercely.

But after Ma Chao got the upper hand with one move, how could he stop his ferocious tiger-like attack, and broke out even more ferociously: "Today I will kill your two generals, in my name, kill!"

"Xiliang horse, don't run wild!"

Just when the two generals, Cao Ren and Cao Ren, were in danger, a Fang Tian painted halberd rushed over from the night sky like a shooting star, and a roar like thunder echoed on the battlefield.

"boom!"

The powerful force on Fang Tian's painted halberd knocked Ma Chao back several steps before he stood firm.

His pupils contracted slightly.

"Fang Tian draws the halberd, Lu Bu!"

If you recognize this weapon, you will know who will come.

Sure enough, on the battlefield in the midst of chaos, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, galloping towards Lei. With a strangle of the horse's hoof, he pulled up Fang Tian's painted halberd nailed to the ground with his backhand. The horse under his crotch roared, and he was condescending. , tiger eyes like lightning, overlooking the front, pointing at the halberd, and the voice was high-pitched: "Xiliang horse, bullying the court and no one?"

"I don't know who it is, but it's just a family slave with three surnames!"

Ma Chao's face was silent, holding a long spear in his hand, his fighting spirit roared, and he did not retreat half a step, and said boldly: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

on the city head.

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "Reinforcements?"

He didn't expect Wei Jun to have such a strong main attack, and there were reinforcements, which was really beyond his expectation.

"Bingzhou flying ride!"

Zhang Ren was injured and did not continue to fight, but he supervised the battle in the city, and the battle did not stop, he would not leave this side of the battlefield, after all, he is the commander in chief, he looked far away, looked at the Xiaoxiao horseshoe, his heart sank, and said : "After Lu Fengxian defeated Bowang, he suppressed the first army of Violent Bear in Xi'e County, defended the west wing, and protected the army of Wei army to attack the city southward. Unexpectedly, he actually led the cavalry southward!"

"Since Ma Chao is here, it seems that there is no bargain, so let's ask for money!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ren turned his head and ordered several of his subordinate guards: "Immediately withdraw the troops, all soldiers and horses on the battlefield, return to the city!"

"Yes!"

Ding ding ding! ! ! ! ! !

The sound of Mingjin resounded from the top of the city, one after another, echoing on the battlefield that had already reflected half of the sky red and was full of flames.

"Is it gold?"

Hearing the voice, Ma Chao's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Lu Bu in front of him, feeling unwilling, but military orders are military orders, and he couldn't learn much else when he entered the Ming Dynasty, but the habit of military orders like mountains has already been absorbed.

He took a deep breath, and left a sentence: "Lu Bu, it seems that we have no way to compete this time, but the future is long, and one day, I will behead your head and sacrifice it to the heroes of Xiliang!"

Xiliang people, because of Lu Bu, became like rats crossing the street. Most of the generals in charge were either beheaded or surrendered. One-third of Xiliang's decline came from Lu Bu's betrayal, beheading Dong Zhuo, The flag of Xiliang was destroyed.

"Anytime!"

Ma Chao withdrew his troops, but Lu Bu did not take the opportunity to counterattack, but watched him leave indifferently.

In half an hour, all the guards retreated into the city.

Wei Jun also took advantage of the trend to retreat, and withdrew twenty miles away before gaining a firm foothold and starting to set up camp.

In this battle, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties.

After several days of hard fighting, not only did they fail to win Wancheng, but they also caused countless casualties to their main force, and lost countless children under the gate of Wancheng.

So even if they withdraw, the morale is very low.

In the middle of the night, a Chinese military main tent was temporarily erected.

"Why is General Lu here?" After being picked up, Cao Ren regained consciousness, but at least several ribs were broken in his chest, and he was lying on the camp bed, otherwise he would be out of breath.

He was very grateful to Lu Bu for arriving in time, otherwise the consequences of this battle would be unpredictable, and even the worst outcome would be that tens of thousands of Wei troops would be defeated and scattered, which would be a serious problem.

Although the casualties are not small now, more of them are caused by the environment on the battlefield, and the confusion caused by being caught off guard by the sudden new force of the Ming army is nothing more than chaos.

After withdrawing and regrouping, they at least maintained their main force. If they dragged on, once the army collapsed, let alone maintaining the main force, they would lose all their fighting power.

"Your troops have been attacking Wancheng for a long time, and the king ordered me to lead the cavalry to reinforce and supervise the battle!" Lu Bu said in a well-regulated manner.

After years of tempering, although his arrogance will not be worn away, it is not very strong, at least he will not offend people for no reason, let alone the Cao family.

Cao Ren is Cao Cao's most important family member and general. If he buys a favor, it may be more conducive to gaining a firm foothold under Cao Wei's family.

Lu Bu has also seen through the current environment.

Not to mention whether he can regroup, seize a piece of land again, and become the king, but just say that the vicissitudes of the past years are vivid in his mind. Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Mu Jing, the far-sighted princes behind the city, they are too inferior.

It's not that he has stopped thinking about it. If he has the opportunity, he will still replace him and achieve some dominance by himself, but before that, he will first enhance his reputation.

Fighting for Cao Wei is his best choice. On the one hand, Cao Cao is surrounded by courts. At least he can say that he is fighting for the court, not for Cao Cao.

This face is much better.

Similarly, the chances are great. If he wants to rebel in the future, he only needs to use the name of the court to get rid of Cao Cao, and it will be justified.

However, he has not yet seen such an opportunity. Cao Cao is in control of the overall situation. It's just a simple thing.

So he will not take risks.

Since he is fighting for Cao Wei, he will naturally do better and better. No one wants to be the unknown person. He must become the number one general of Cao Wei in order to get more respect.

"Reinforcement and battle supervision?"

Cao Ren finally understood that Cao Cao mostly asked Lv Bu to come for reinforcements, but Lv Bu took care of his own face and led an army to help in the name of a war supervisor, at least not to let himself lose so ugly.

He said bitterly: "I'm sorry for the great love of the last general in this battle. Now not only can't attack Wancheng, but even the main force has lost troops and lost generals. Within half a month, we can't fight anymore!"

The defeat in this battle caused the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command to be injured too badly, and the morale of the army almost collapsed. In a short period of time, there was not much combat power.

"I only have a few thousand cavalry, which are of little help in the siege of the city, but the king has already set off, leading the main force to go south, and will soon be under the city of Wan!" Lu Bu said in a low voice.

Cao Cao went south because of Yelou's great influence. He not only found out the situation of the surrounding soldiers, but also found out the situation of the main force of the Ming army.

Let Cao Cao know that although the main force of the Ming army divided into Nanyang, the speed was not fast, and it was not so easy to assist Wancheng, so he wanted to take the opportunity to capture Wancheng.

Of course, the time difference between them going south, that is, the battle with Wancheng was only a day and a half away. Now they are only on the road, and it will take a few days to reach Wancheng.

"The king has gone south?"

Cao Ren's eyes widened.

"Ok!"

Lu Bu nodded.

"That's great!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth suddenly: "When the king's main force arrives, he will sweep all directions and force him to pass by. At that time, I will take Zhang Renzhi's head!"

Cao Ren thought he would lose this battle, not to Ma Chao, but more to Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren is too tough.

If Zhang Ren hadn't consumed most of his energy, with Ma Chao's strength, it would have been impossible to sneak attack on him so smoothly, and he almost defeated his main force.

"Why did Ma Mengqi appear on the battlefield?" Lu Bu was rather surprised by this.

"Ma Mengqi is the Suwei of King Ming now, and his appearance here means that King Ming is in the city!" Yu Jin, who was silent beside him, said, "We have seen the flag of King Ming!"

"Ming King Mujing?"

Lu Bu's face tightened suddenly, and a pair of eyes burst out with bright light, full of murderous intent.

..............................

in the city.

After the soldiers came back, they sent people to clean up the battlefield.

There are unwritten rules on the battlefield. After a battle, both sides can send people to clean up the battlefield and bring back the corpses of their own soldiers.

At this time, it is a truce period of tacit agreement between the two sides. Generally, unless there are special circumstances, they will not rashly start a war under such circumstances. This is disrespectful to the war dead.

After sending people out to clean up the battlefield, several generals sat down to chat about today's results and losses.

A street near the city gate in Beicheng has been under martial law, and several multi-story courtyards on the left have been requisitioned as a temporary headquarters during the war.

Mujing is at the top.

He looked at Zhang Ren, then at Yan Yan.

To be honest, he actually didn't trust the two of them very much. Whether it was Zhang Ren or Yan Yan, they were both generals of Liu Yan's army in the past, and they were relatively loyal.

So all along, he has been staring at the two of them, and he is a little jealous of the two of them, that is, the ability of the two of them is put there so that Mujing can't underestimate them, otherwise they would have been on the side long ago.

Unexpectedly, this battle would allow the two to fight to the death for a city of Wan.

You must know that both Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were seriously injured, especially Yan Yan, whose heart was almost pierced by the loss. If it weren't for the protective mirror on his chest, he might have died on the battlefield.

Even so, there were no less than fifteen large and small wounds on his body, his whole body was stained with blood, and his battle robe was stained with blood. It is really rare for a civil servant to be as strong as a general.

As for Zhang Ren, this battle is also a narrow escape.

Mujing learned that before the war, he had already made up his mind to die. If Wancheng could not be defended, he might have to live and die with Wancheng.

"Gu was afraid of you two in the past, and he didn't dare to confide in his heart. It's really Gu's short-sightedness. Here, Gu apologizes to Zhang Renzhonglang and Governor Yan Yan!" Mu Jing didn't tell their achievements, but bowed to them.

This is what they deserve.

It’s not their battle to the death. I’m afraid Wancheng has already been lost. Once Wancheng is lost, Nanzhou’s battle will be difficult. They will even be suppressed by the Wei army, and the battlefield will be extended to Xinye and Xiangyang. Regardless of winning or losing, the Ming Kingdom was completely lost in Jingxiang not long after it was established.

"Why is Your Majesty doing this? It's an insult to us!"

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan panicked.

But amidst the panic, there was also a touch of comfort in their hearts. If there was still a little bit of fear, it disappeared at this moment. At least they did not misunderstand the person.

Mu Jing is someone worthy of their refuge.

"Gu's bow is not out of Gu's heart, but the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you understand it!"

Mu Jing stood up, smiled, and said, "The two of you made great contributions in the battle of Wancheng. After the battle is over, General Gu will personally perform the meritorious service for you two!"

The Ming army is proud of military exploits, and promotion is also based on military exploits. Meritorious service is a rigorous matter that needs to be verified by the Privy Council. Meritorious service is an honor for every general.

"Fight to defend the Ming Kingdom, fight for the King!"

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan said while clasping their hands.

"I'm injured, so I don't need these ceremonies, just sit down!" Mu Jing looked at the two and said with a smile.

After he comforted the two of them, he looked at Ma Chao beside him.

"Meng Qi, are you not reconciled?" Mu Jing asked.

"My lord, I am determined to fight the slaves of the three surnames!" Ma Chao raised his head and met Shang Mujing's eyes, which were full of fighting spirit and full of confidence.

"I agree!"

Mu Jing nodded, then changed his voice, and said: "But in the kind of battlefield just now, it is meaningless for you to win or lose. Lu Bu's reinforcements are doomed to us not being able to continue to kill them all. Continue to consume on the battlefield, even if we fight If the intention is stronger, it will be consumed, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

"It's the last general's recklessness!" Ma Chao came over in horror and said hastily.

"Meng Qi, you are a fierce general. We all know this, but a fierce general can't kill many people on the battlefield, and he can't decide the success or failure of a war!"

Mu Jing spoke in a deep tone, and taught him a lesson: "If you are a man of no plan, you can ignore it, and it is a style, but you are different, you Ma Chao is not a man of no plan, you are a talented general, so in the future You should learn to restrain your own force, but think more about how to let the soldiers under your command use the least casualties in exchange for the greatest victory when you don't make a move, instead of being impulsive!"
