Chapter 838: The Tangled Yanzhou Battlefield

"Husband, I know you still have me in your heart. If you have no heart for me, you will not mock me in the eyes of everyone. When she said this, Lu Qiling had tried her best to pretend to be relaxed, and even, in order not to be embarrassed, she deliberately explained herself: "Sister Cicada said that men have a child's temperament all their lives, and you have never grown up......."

But Ma Chao replied to Lu Qiling's words, but after glancing at her lightly with a constipated look, he raised his whip and roared murderously: "Attack!" Take Chengshi County! ”

Yes, at this time, Ma Chao's 3,000 soldiers and horses, after four days of running, had already marched outside the east gate of the county seat of Chengshi County. And the place where Lu Qiling said this was before Ma Chao's army formation........

At this time, Ma Chao was full of worries that the marching rations of 3,000 soldiers and horses had run out, and if he didn't quickly take Chengshi County, his overall plan would be ruined! What kind of affection, love, and unintentionality, he doesn't know what to do at all.......

So, women can't be too naΓ―ve. Especially when a man has already taken on his own responsibilities, don't treat him as a child........

What's more, Lu Qiling could only look at Ma Chao's brocade war shadow at this time, bit her lips lightly, and snorted: "I don't believe it, you can still hate me for the rest of your life!" After that, Lu Qiling clenched the halberd of Fang Tian in her hand, and regarded the soldiers in front of her as Ma Chao, charging like a female tiger, sweeping away the enemy troops one after another!

As reported in the single, Chengshi County has become dark under the lights after the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu. Whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, they didn't pay too much attention to this blind spot. Therefore, after Ma Chao hid in the jungle all night, he was finally caught off guard by the soldiers of Chengshi County, that is, when they had not been able to react in time and close the city gate, Ma Chao rushed into the city and controlled the city gate.

The next thing became very simple, Ma Chao's 3,000 soldiers and horses rushed into the city. The defenders, who were outnumbered and frightened by Ma Chao, Lu Bu and others a few days ago, soon chose to abandon their weapons and surrender under the leadership of the county lieutenant.

After that, Ma Chao quickly replenished military rations and other materials in Chengshi County, and then rushed to Chengyang County. Chengyang County was still nominally under Lu Bu's rule at this time, and the reaction to the sudden arrival of Ma's super army was not very intense. It's just that when Ma Chao put forward a request to transfer all the capable fighters in the county away, the county commander was very reluctant.

Of course, the result of the matter was naturally that Ma Chaoduo fled with a thousand infantry and attacked Juyang County again. After making the same request and getting the same reluctance...... Well, the subsequent result is that Ma Chao's soldiers and horses have more than 5,000.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the 2,000 new soldiers is very questionable. However, what Ma Chao needs them is not their combat effectiveness, but their familiarity with this area.

Finally, when Ma Chao decided to attack Lihu, his strange army attracted the attention of Xiahou Dun, the guard of Puyang County. However, according to the news heard by the single, Cao's general Xiahoudun also seems to know the importance of Puyang, coupled with Ma Chao's cunning and cold-blooded and mysterious reputation on weekdays, so he easily did not dare to go out of Puyang, but sent his deputy general Li Dian to lead 5,000 soldiers to be stationed in Lihu to prevent Ma Chao's surprise attack.

Ma Chao, who was halfway through the raid, heard the news, and in desperation, he had no choice but to retreat to Juyang County first and confront Li Dian across the Guzi River. And until this time, Ma Chao also received a battle report from Lu Bu of Juye County: The battle situation was neither good nor bad, but it unexpectedly fell into a stalemate!

It turned out that after Ma Chao, Lu Bu, and Chen Gong felt that they had figured out Cao Cao's routine and set that comprehensive and vicious plan. Cao Cao, who reviewed the art of war three times a day before going to bed, actually had a head cramp this time and didn't play his cards according to the routine!

According to Cao Cao's usual practice, it is very likely that he will personally command the main force to eliminate Xue Lan and Hou Cheng, who are collecting grain in Juye County. And in the plan, when Cao Cao led the vanguard cavalry to fight, Lu Bu led the main force to kill Cao Cao, beat Cao Cao's ass, and with a pinch, not only did he fart, but he could also capture Cao Cao alive, and then fully capture Yanzhou. Even if Cao Cao still has tricks, he will not be defeated.

But when Hou Cheng and Xue Lan successfully completed Lu Bu's mission and were about to return to Changyi with a cart full of grain and grass, what they encountered was not the vanguard led by Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Hong, disguised as Cao Cao's small Cao army. It is said that Hou Cheng and Xue Lan did not react badly at that time, and after meeting that group of troops, they did not choose to retreat, but instead guarded the food. And Lu Bu, who was ambushed outside, had already lit up his eyes when he saw the grain and grass, and couldn't help but take Cao Hong for Cao Cao and rushed out in one fell swoop!

But after rushing up, Lu Bu found that he had become the praying mantis in 'praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow finches behind'.

It turned out that the military genius Cao Cao, like Lu Bu, was ambushed in the middle of the road, and the crocodile was napping, waiting for the other party's reinforcements. At this moment, I saw Lu Buxing rushing down like a festival. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Lu Bu was excitedly thinking that he was cleaning up the 'Cao Cao vanguard', but he was ambushed by the real main force of Cao's army from both sides. Before he came to his senses, he was defeated by Cao Cao.

At the moment, Lu Bu had no choice but to stage another desperate struggle in the style of Chengshi County, but fortunately, Yu Chen Gong led the army to act as a firefighter again, which saved Lu Bu from the tragedy of becoming a very handsome corpse. This time, the two sides are still about the same in numbers and morale, and they are evenly matched. And in the end, the two armies chose to break up peacefully again, making it like a war.

And after reading this battle report, Ma Chao also speculated that the reason why Cao Cao gave up again this time was because he was afraid of himself! It was his sword that went off the rails this time, so he didn't let those 3,000 soldiers and horses waste on meaningless confrontations. However, it is estimated that this also made Comrade Cao Cao even more worried. He quickly returned to the army for the second time to recuperate, he should have wanted to kill himself as soon as possible, right?

Because the second battlefield that Ma Chao opened up in Yanzhou at this time was like a small-scale Normandy landing. Although the number of lone soldiers was small, he could be very careless, and he might break the big basket and cut off Cao Cao's back road.

Such an erroneous, bizarre and rare result made Ma Chao, who was in Juyang County at this time, really feel even more constipated and vomited blood. The previous rhetoric has almost all become a bunch of nonsense: the Yanzhou battlefield is still a grain and grass war, or a morale war, everything is exactly the same as before he arrived! The only thing that has changed is that Cao Cao plans not to get Lu Bu first, but to kill him first!

"Ling'er, don't you talk about those intentions in front of me?" Ma Chao had a bitter face, like Yang Bailao in the old society, and said pitifully: "Our little thing is really not a problem." Now is not the time to think about who will be the boss between me and your father, but when you think about who will finish first! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qiling on the side was really no longer immersed in the grievances of the young couple. On the contrary, after his pretty face was cold, he even more intensified and said something that broke Ma Chao's heart: "Husband, don't worry, even if I die, I, Lu Qiling, will stand up on the battlefield with my husband!" ”

'Ling'er, your husband hasn't lived long enough, don't torture me like this, won't you? Ma Chao looked out of the tent leisurely, he looked forward to Gan Ning or the two of them coming back soon: so far, Ma Chao really can't stand Lu Qiling's emotional devastation!

However, the more important and practical reason is that Ma Chao instructed Gan Ning and Shan Qu to ask the two thousand county soldiers in Chengyang and Juyang if they knew about the sneak attack on the path away from the fox........

This is already Ma Chao's only hope for survival in death!
