Chapter 840: Forbearance
Yang Feng's departure was silent.
However, although Yang Feng saved his life, he was not very comfortable in his heart. Because his life was saved because Dian Wei interceded for him, he owed a big favor.
A Yang Feng is insignificant to the army.
There are more than one or two people in Wang Can's army who are stronger than Yang Feng's martial arts, and there are many people who are smarter than Yang Feng. In the battle with Ma Tenghe, Yang Feng's role was not great, so Wang Can simply let Yang Feng go.
Early the next morning, Wang Can led more than 40,000 soldiers to continue their journey towards Xinping County.
This time, there was no encounter on the road, and the road towards Xinping County was smooth.
In half a month, the scouts sent by Wang Can finally discovered the location of Ma Teng's army. At the same time, Ma Teng's army also heard the news of Wang Can's return.
When Ma Teng learned the news of Wang Can's army, he immediately asked all the soldiers under his command to stop and stop continuing to hurry. Ma Teng led an army of 60,000 to hurry very fast and urgently, and the soldiers were exhausted, if they fought directly with Wang Can, their combat effectiveness would be too weak, which would be unfavorable to the army.
Therefore, Ma Teng let the army set up camp, and then fought a decisive battle with Wang Can after resting.
At this time, there was still a certain distance between the two sides, and they had to walk for more than a day, and Ma Teng had enough time for the soldiers to rest.
The army was encamped, and all the soldiers tried their best to adjust their state and prepare for the battle.
The big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu and the generals under Ma Teng gathered here. Everyone sat down and discussed how to deal with Wang Can. Because LΓΌ Meng occupied Huaili County and cut off the news of Huaili County, Ma Teng did not get any news of Huaili now, and he did not know that Ma Tie had been killed.
Ma Teng was sitting precariously, with a serious and majestic face.
His eyes were piercing, and he swept over the generals under his command one by one, and said slowly: "The battle with Wang Can is imminent, if you have any suggestions in your hearts, just speak freely." β
Ma Chao said: "My lord, the cavalry under Wang Can is very elite and should not be underestimated. We are engaged in a battle with Wang Can, and there must be cavalry that can suppress them, otherwise the army will definitely be crushed by Wang Can's cavalry when it launches a charge. As long as we send troops to drag Wang Can's cavalry, our 60,000-strong army will definitely be able to defeat Wang Can if we rush up again. β
Ma Teng is located in Xiliang and is not short of war horses.
Moreover, most of the Xiliang soldiers are good at horsemanship, and it is very easy to let the cavalry attack.
Ma Teng listened to Ma Chao's words, glanced at Ma Chao appreciatively, nodded and said, "We don't know how Wang Can suddenly came back, but we fought with Wang Can, and we were only allowed to win and not lose." β
However, the generals in the army were not confident, which made Ma Teng's brows furrow.
Husband and fighter, courage too!
If you don't even have the confidence to win a battle, you don't even have the courage to fight the enemy, and you don't believe in yourself, there will be no suspense about the victory or defeat of this war.
Seeing that the crowd would be like this, Ma Teng was a little disappointed in his heart.
He stretched out his hand and brushed the beard under his chin, and shouted: "You are all old subordinates who follow me, I hope you can make your wife and son and make great achievements, this is what everyone wants, and it is also the motivation for you to fight." β
After a pause, Ma Teng said again: "This battle is related to the future of our Xiliang, as long as we win, we can sit in Guanzhong and occupy a place." When the time comes, you can also pay homage to the marquis and have a good future for your wives and children. Therefore, I hope that you can work together to fight hard, for yourself, and for our Xiliang army. β
"General, the last general is out of the way, and he will definitely overthrow Wang Can." The person who spoke was named Wang Dai, a native of Xiliangqiang, who was once a small warlord in Huaili County, and was eventually subdued by Ma Teng and became a general under Ma Teng.
Wang Dai spoke, and the rest of the generals spoke one after another.
For a while, the atmosphere in the big tent turned out to be warm. It seems that these generals have forgotten Wang Can's greatness and no longer take Wang Can in their eyes.
Ma Teng aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and only then did he let the generals go down to rest.
He remained alone in the big tent, recuperating and waiting for the battle. The continuous rush was not only the soldier's mental fatigue, but Ma Teng's own spirit was not good and he needed to recuperate
Time passes, and the time of the day is fleeting.
At this time, the 40,000 army led by Wang Can had already been killed.
When Wang Can led the army back, Ma Teng immediately led the army to kill Wang Can, wanting to take advantage of Wang Can's army to be tired and catch Wang Can off guard. However, Wang Can's speed of marching was not fast, and the army was also prepared, and in a big battle between the two sides, Ma Teng did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and did not distinguish the winner or loser.
After the First World War, Wang Can collected his troops, did not come out, and no longer fought with Ma Teng.
Ma Teng felt a little strange in his heart when he saw Wang Can hiding strangely in the camp and not fighting.
Wang Can led the troops, and rarely did not come out of the troops like this.
Although Ma Teng had doubts in his heart, he did not think about this issue carefully, but constantly sent troops to attack Wang Can. He had more than 60,000 soldiers under his command, while Wang Can only had more than 40,000 soldiers under his command, and there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, so Ma Teng attacked at all costs to solve Wang Can in one fell swoop.
After the two sides fought, Ma Teng attacked Wang Can again, but Wang Can avoided it without fighting.
The next day, Wang Can took the initiative to retreat five miles and couldn't retreat.
Seeing that Wang Can had always chosen to avoid without fighting, Ma Teng rejoiced in his heart, and led the army under his command to pursue the victory, and continued to attack Wang Can, but no results were achieved.
On the third day, Wang Can retreated five miles again, but still did not engage Ma Teng.
Wang Can continued to do this, which made Ma Teng even more confused in his heart, and he didn't understand Wang Can's intentions. However, Wang Cangui couldn't retreat, and Ma Teng sent troops to investigate and didn't find an ambush, so he continued to attack with confidence. As a result, the battle evolved into Wang Can's continuous retreat, while Ma Teng pressed forward step by step, chasing and fighting fiercely.
And so it was for ten days in a row.
On this day, Wang Can's camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can sat on the main seat, and Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren sat below.
Zhao Yun looked serious and said: "Lord, in the past few days that we have been retreating continuously, the soldiers have been holding back their grievances, and their morale has also dropped a little because of this, so they must be prepared to fight back." β
Guo Jia continued: "General Zilong, don't worry, the lord summoned you today to prepare for a counterattack. β
Zhao Yun's spirits perked up, he looked at Wang Can with some incredulity, and asked, "Lord, are you really going to prepare for a counterattack?" β
Dian Wei, Chen Zhi, and Zhang Ren all looked at Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can's reply.
Although they knew that the army was a strategic retreat, it was not really defeated. But he was always chased and beaten by Ma Teng, and he was always unhappy in his heart. Especially Ma Teng was arrogant and arrogant, always clamoring to kill Wang Can, and there was a Ma Chao behind Ma Teng who was not afraid of death, which made Dian Wei and others even more uncomfortable.
Wang Can nodded and said, "We have been waiting for more than ten days to wait for Amon to lead the army to catch up and cut off Ma Teng's back road. Now Amun has sent a message that he has come with his troops. β
Ten days is enough time for Lu Meng to catch up.
After Wang Can got the news, he was also relieved.
Dian Wei heard Wang Can say that Lu Meng was coming with a large army, and he was also very happy in his heart, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said angrily: "We have been chased by Ma Teng and Ma Er for ten days, and we finally have a chance to kill back." This time, I'm going to kill that old guy Ma Teng, screw his head off and kick it as a ball, and see if he dares to be arrogant. β
Ma Er is the name of Ma Chao by the generals in the army.
Wang Can listened to Dian Wei's words and smiled without saying a word.
At this time, everyone was full of confidence, high momentum, and ready to fight. Guo Jia's eyes were bright, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he knew that these generals were ready to kill the enemy in all directions.
"Boom! Boom! β
Suddenly, the rumbling of war drums came from outside the camp.
Immediately afterward, the sound of the trumpet was heard.
Wang Can listened to the sound coming from outside the camp and knew that Ma Teng had come to fight with a large army again. This time, Wang Can will not continue to back down and avoid it. Now that the army led by LΓΌ Meng has entered its destination, it is time for the army to reckless. Ma Teng's arrogant situation ends here.
Wang Canteng stood up, looked at the generals, and shouted: "Everyone, kill the enemy with me!" β
"No!"
Everyone replied with their fists clenched, with excited expressions on their faces. One by one, the generals hurriedly stood up and followed Wang Can to the outside of the camp tent.
