Chapter 256: Fierce Battle
Liu Yu saw that Lu Bu was going to kill Ma Chao, so what could he do! Ma Chao is one of Liu Yu's favorite generals, and he can't just die at the hands of Lu Bu, so Liu Yu hurriedly shouted: "Stop first!" β
Lu Bu heard Liu Yu's voice and took Fang Tian's halberd back, the halberd was only half a minute away from Ma Chao's neck, if it was half a second slower, Ma Chao would become a dead man.
Ma Chao originally thought that he was dead, and even felt the chill of the halberd. The sudden change made Ma Chao wake up, and he immediately turned around and ran away. Ma Chao is a little guilty about escaping, but it's better than losing his life. Looking at the posture just now, if it weren't for Liu Yu's shouting, Ma Chao would definitely be dead.
Lu Bu was also confused by Liu Yu and forgot to pursue.
Han Sui secretly screamed that it was a pity, if Lu Bu killed Ma Chao, then his plan would be half successful. Ma Teng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, Lu Bu finally stopped his hand.
"Ma Chao has been defeated, the whole army is attacking!" Liu Yujian pointed at the other party and shouted.
Liu Yu's army immediately reacted and slaughtered the combined forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui.
Since ancient times, the defeat of a general would seriously affect the morale of his own army, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops were no exception, and their morale dropped greatly.
"Kill!" Liu Yu's troops liked to slaughter such opponents the most, and pounced like hungry wolves.
The two sides had already begun a fierce fight, and Lu Bu was still looking at Liu Yu in a daze, and asked, "Lord, why did you let me stop just now?" β
"It's still useful for Ma Chao to keep it. Why are you still stunned? Still not attacking? Do you want to go to the little dark house for a few days!? Liu Yu was not very satisfied with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's stomach was full of grievances, didn't you tell me to stop just now? Still scolding me?!
However, Lu Bu looked at Liu Yu's unkind eyes, and thought that if he didn't attack again, he would definitely be locked up in a small black house.
Lu Bu clamped the red rabbit horse between his feet and rushed towards the enemy formation quickly. Wherever you pass, no one dares to stop you.
After Ma Chao returned to his army, he and Ma Teng quickly organized a defense, and the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou were also battle-hardened, and the commander's military order was quickly implemented.
On the other hand, Han Sui's side is a little chaotic. Liu Yu's troops mainly attacked Han Sui's Qiang troops. Considering that Ma Teng was ready, Liu Yu was just putting on a show of Ma Teng's side. LΓΌ Budianwei and others will all attack Han Sui's Qiang troops.
Lu Bu vented all the grievances just now on these foreigners, and killed an unknown number of Qiang people. In the minds of the Qiang people, Ma Chao is already like a god, and now that Lu Bu has defeated Ma Chao, the Qiang people are scared, where can they still fight back against Lu Bu, it is simply a food delivery. Dian Wei is like a demon god, his whole body is covered in the blood of the enemy, and he is killed, and he also frightens the Qiang people. The Qiang people secretly hated Han Sui for bringing them here, although they had heard from the Qiang people who had fled back that they had told about these two people, but they had heard that they were much inferior to what they had seen with their own eyes.
Because of his previous failures, Zhang Liao had the intention of making meritorious contributions, and took the wolf to kill Ma Teng, without any mercy. On Ma Teng's side, only Zhang Liao was attacking.
As for Gao Shun and Huang Xu. One led the trap camp into the crowd of Qiang troops, slaughtering enemy soldiers like a meat grinder. The other is to lead the archers to constantly cover for their comrades.
Liu Yu took Chen Gong and Fu Zhi to observe the changes in the situation in the Chinese army and command and dispatch.
The Qiang people are in a mess, they don't have much discipline in the first place, it's okay to fight a good fight, but when they encounter someone more fierce than them, the Qiang people can't deal with it. Han Sui was busy directing and scheduling, and his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't change the status quo. This is also the main reason why Liu Yu mainly attacked Han Sui.
The anxious Han Sui suddenly found that there was no battle on Ma Teng's side at all, and scolded Liu Yu in his heart for favoring one over the other, and he should fight Ma Teng first.
After scolding Liu Yu, Han Sui hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat. A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, and there is no need to lose a lot of money for the sake of some face. As soon as they heard the retreat, the Qiang people were relieved and ran away.
Liu Yu took care of Ma Teng next to him and did not order the troops to chase and kill.
Han Sui ran like this and exposed Ma Teng. Fortunately, Ma Teng had already prepared that Han Sui would abandon himself, and almost at the same time as Han Sui retreated, Ma Teng also ordered the troops to retreat.
The two retreated so happily, making Liu Yu worry about whether the two had any conspiracy, if they had already been ambushed, they would suffer a big loss if they rashly pursued them, Chen Gong and Fu Zhi also thought so. So Liu Yu gave the order to stop the pursuit.
For the sake of prudence, Liu Yu sent a large number of scouts to investigate. The result of the investigation made Liu Yu blush, this Ma Teng and Han Sui really retreated, there was no conspiracy, but Liu Yu thought too much. Now Ma Teng and Han Sui have occupied the favorable terrain and are ready to defend and wait for the attack. Liu Yu secretly scolded himself for being too cautious and wasting the opportunity to break the other party in vain.
Liu Yu can only face reality again now.
After Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated, the two sides reached a consensus to occupy favorable terrain and use each other as horns, preparing to consume Liu Yu to death.
Liu Yu led his troops to the place occupied by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and after observing the terrain, he found that it was very suitable for defense.
Liu Yu shook his head and sighed as he looked at the two huge military camps in front of him, this crusade may have been in vain because of his mistakes. It was too late to say anything now, and Liu Yu ordered the whole army to set up camp. After a day of fighting, the soldiers were also hungry and tired, and urgently needed to rest. In order to prevent the enemy from coming to raid while he was eating and resting, Liu Yu arranged for Zhang Liao and Huang Xu to take the wolf cavalry and 5,000 archers to defend in front of the camp.
Liu Yu was right, Han Sui really wanted to take advantage of Liu Yu's unstable foothold. When Han Sui saw that Liu Yu was ready, he gave up this idea.
Night soon fell.
After dinner, Liu Yu discussed the military aircraft with all the civil and military personnel in the Chinese army's big tent.
In the face of the current situation, Liu Yu's subordinates have put forward various suggestions, but they all have a common problem, that is, the loss is too great.
Liu Yu pressed his face bitterly, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.
And at this moment, Li Gui whispered a few words in Liu Yu's ear.
Liu Yu came to the spirit and ordered everyone to go down, he had important affairs to deal with, and as for military affairs, he would arrange them tomorrow.
Liu Yu has an arrangement, of course his subordinates will not object, and they all return to their posts, patrolling when they should patrol, and resting when they should rest. Only Chen Gong and Fu Zhu seemed to feel some differences, and they had a guess in their hearts. coincidentally, he asked Liu Yu for his intention to stay.
Liu Yu did not object, and it was good for Chen Gong and Fu Zhu to stay.
Liu Yu is now going to meet a special visitor.
