I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145
Seeing that Long Wu's army quickly stopped his attack, Ma Chao also felt extremely stressed, and without thinking too much, he personally led the troops to attack again, determined to fight Long Wu's army to the death.

Ma Chao is brave and strong in martial arts. Under the attack of his troops, the well-defended formation was quickly broken. Ma Chao seized the opportunity, advanced, and then advanced, piercing layer after layer. The formation of the Longwu army was about to break through the large formation set up by the Longwu army.

Zhang Liao made a prompt decision and led the cavalry of the Longwu Army to block the opening of the formation, like a moving steel barrier blocking the way of Ma Chao's advance.

"Longwu Army, Kanglong has regrets, change formation!" Zhang Liao shouted loudly.

Soon the Longwu army changed according to the order, and the army was quickly divided into two halves, moving in an orderly manner to get out of the middle area, and thousands of enemy troops poured in instantly.When the enemy was approaching without knowing it, Zhang Liao's army rushed out from the middle area, blocking the enemy tightly in the middle open space.

"Putting... thrusting...continuously stabbing." The long halberd soldiers of the Longwu Army who retreated to the two sides rushed out from behind the shield soldiers, stabbing the enemy continuously.

For a moment, Ma Chao's army was killed and injured heavily by the Shenwu army from all directions. The horse neighed, blood spattered three feet, and Ma Chao's sharp offensive was stopped again.

Ma Chao had no choice but to be blocked by Zhang Liao's army, and the [-] army under his command also lost a lot, being killed to less than [-].

There is not much time left for Ma Teng and his son, and Ma Chao is very anxious at this time.

The Shenwu Army and Hu Xiao Army that entered from the South Gate and East Gate also accelerated the closing of the net. Most of the Han Sui and Ma Teng rebels encountered along the way were killed, and some soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

Soon the space left for Ma Teng and his sons became smaller and smaller. In another half an hour, they might be completely surrounded, and they would die.

Everyone also felt that the situation was extremely bad. If they failed to break through, the result would be self-evident.

…………

However, the so-called success is also Xiao He's defeat, as Xu Rong and Zhao Yun continued to advance and besiege, some desperate enemy troops rushed towards Ma Teng and gathered under Ma Teng's banner.

The soldiers of the two warlords in Xiliang chose to put aside their hatred for the time being, unite sincerely, and unite with each other. After all, hatred is important, but life is more important.

In this way, the number of troops gathered under Ma Teng's command reached more than 2 at once, and all of them were elites who survived the brutal fighting from the [-]-strong army, or they were desperadoes, and their combat power should not be underestimated. .

But this also allowed Zhao Yun, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao's three-way army to successfully encircle them.The three-way army totaled more than 2 people and surrounded more than [-] enemy troops.

Seeing that there were less than 2 strong opponents, Zhang Liao still did not dare to be careless. The so-called lion should do his best to fight the rabbit, and he must not relax at this time.

The three armies quickly changed their formation, from the attacking Yanling formation to the Eight Diagrams formation with four positive and six strange formations.

…………

At this time, Xi Zhicai who came with the army said to Zhang Liao: "General, these people are already desperadoes. Under a strong attack, our army will definitely pay a heavy price. It is better to lure them to surrender and destroy the enemy's morale, or they can fight without fighting." win."

"The strategist is really clever!" Zhang Liao naturally accepted it happily.

Surrounded by an army of [-], the enemy soldiers saw that they were bound to die, and they all made up their minds to fight the enemy to the death, maybe they still had a chance.

After the formation of the army, Zhang Liao rode forward alone, and shouted at the enemy: "Our Pingxi army was ordered by the emperor to attack disobedient officials. Han Sui and Ma Chao separated Xiliang and tried to stand on their own. Everyone will be punished. Now my lord is benevolent, as long as you put down your weapons, I, Zhang Liao, will guarantee your safety, otherwise all arrows will be fired, and you will surely die without a place to die!"

The enemies who originally gathered here thought that they would surely die, and they all embraced death. Now that they heard that surrender would save their lives, some soldiers were a little moved.

Especially Han Sui's subordinates, because Han Sui ran away first, the group of dragons under his command were leaderless and scattered. In this case, many people were willing to put down their weapons and choose to surrender.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, ready to move, but no one dared to take the first step.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "It's time for the last stick of incense, otherwise it will be too late."

Finally, a few of Han Sui's subordinates who couldn't bear the temptation to survive threw down their weapons, ran towards Zhang Liao quickly, knelt down and begged for mercy, "General, I'm waiting to surrender, please let us go."

Zhang Liao said comfortingly: "Since you have surrendered, you will be fine. Don't worry, we welcome those who are willing to join the army, and those who do not want to join the army can go home."

"The villain has long been tired of fighting and wants to go home, please let the general let us go home." Then he kowtowed and begged for mercy, and burst into tears.

"I can let you go, but remember, if you dare to fight against me and the state army again, it won't be so cheap next time. Let's go." After speaking, he waved his hand, and soon the army gave way to a spacious road , let them go.

It may be affected by the soldiers' homesickness just now, the cold killing heart of the army is gradually wrapped in warmth, it's good to be alive, why do you want to die?
Seeing that the few people in front were safe and sound, nearly [-] soldiers of the Han Sui Army chose to surrender, and more than half of them were willing to join the Bingzhou Army.

These heats were originally battle-tested veterans, and they could no longer survive after leaving the battlefield, so they all joined the powerful Bingzhou Army. The Bingzhou Army is so strong and its weapons are so sophisticated, it is also a good way out.

There were even some weak-willed Ma Teng subordinates who secretly surrendered among Han Sui's sergeants.

Ma Chao saw that Han Sui's subordinates surrendered. After all, they were not his subordinates, so he couldn't stop him.

However, the tendency of his soldiers to surrender became more and more intense. Ma Chao was so anxious that he hacked and killed several soldiers who wanted to surrender in a row, which stopped the rout.

This made Ma Teng, who wanted to stop Ma Chao, before he could give the order to reprimand, the heads of those people fell to the ground.

Ma Teng couldn't help lamenting in his heart, "Chao'er, Chao'er, when will you change your frizzy temper? If you kill them, can everyone fight you to the end?

When Ma Teng's ten thousand Ma family troops saw that their comrade had died under Ma Chao's sword, an inexplicable fire rose up.

It's a death situation right now, why let everyone be buried with him?

At this time Zhang Liao also noticed the change in the enemy's mood, and immediately stood up and said sonorously: "Rise up general, it's better to let all the soldiers under your command who are willing to leave leave, after all, they have done their best, why let everyone be buried with you? "

He knew that it was not so easy to persuade Ma Teng and his son to surrender, so he tried to break down the enemy's fighting spirit first.
