Three days later, the Guishan army launched a strong attack on the Wei army at a few points, and the intensity of the offensive was unprecedented, but under the desperate struggle of the Wei army, the various assault clusters of the Guishan army did not make much progress.

The tragic battle lasted for three days, and only layers of corpses were seen in the small mulberry river, and the whole river completely lost its lovely image of the past, just like the river of dead souls in hell.

On the south bank of the Mulberry River, I saw corpses piling up like a mountain, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were stacked on top of each other, which made people feel shocked.

The green meadows and yellow mud were not at all what they used to be, they were all dappled with blood, and the pine forests were filled with smoke.

Ma Teng walked along the river bank with his blade across the horse, his brows furrowed, and Xiahou Yuan followed beside him.

"I didn't expect the Guishan people to be so desperate!" Ma Teng said with some emotion.

Xiahou Yuan nodded and pondered: "I heard that their eldest prince is in the army opposite, maybe it's because of him!" ”

Ma Teng nodded and asked, "General Xiahou, how are the losses of our army?" ”

"In three days, our army suffered more than 45,000 casualties, most of which were soldiers of the Seventh Legion! However, the cost of the enemy is even greater, and the preliminary estimate is around 70,000 people! ”

Xiahou Yuan immediately frowned and asked, "Shoucheng, isn't it too cruel to let an army like the Seventh Legion take on the heavy responsibility of defense!" If it was the First Legion, the casualties would never have been so heavy! ”

Ma Teng shook his head and said coldly: "Your Majesty once said that an army that has not experienced the tempering of iron and blood can never become an elite division,!" As a member of the Great Wei Army, the Seventh Army must be able to bear such pain and responsibility! ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded. Then he said with some emotion: "Your Majesty is really incomprehensible!" Sometimes he's like an elder, and yet sometimes he's so cold-blooded! ”

Ma Teng smiled. "General Miaocai is right! By the way, what's going on on Your Majesty's side? ”

Xiahou Yuan replied, "Your Majesty's side is very calm! At present, Wusun has been overwhelmed by Zhongda. It is impossible to pose a threat to Kangju! ”

Ma Teng nodded, "That's fine!" To be honest, I'm not worried about anything else, just about Your Majesty's safety! ”

At present, Ma Teng has laid three lines of defense on the south bank, intending to take the opportunity to counterattack after exhausting the sharp energy of Guishan, and strive to defeat the Guishan army in front of him in one go. If you can wipe it all out, of course it will be even better!

However, in the middle of the night that day, a piece of news that made Ma Teng confused for a while suddenly came, the Guishan army had quietly pulled out two hours ago, and now the camp opposite was just an empty camp.

Ma Teng's face changed suddenly, and he thought of a possibility, although this possibility was not very likely from a military point of view, Ma Teng hurriedly ordered someone to call Xiahou Yuan.

When Xiahou Yuan hurriedly entered the big tent. Ma Teng split his head and said: "I just received the news that the Guishan army suddenly started two hours ago!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked urgently, "Where is their destination?" ”

Ma Teng shook his head and frowned: "I don't know yet!" What worries me the most right now is. Their goal is to live in the royal capital! ”

"Well, it's not very likely! After all, the main forces of Kangju are all in Crow Mountain, although the Guishan army is outnumbered. But they won't be able to break through Raven Mountain for a while! ”

Ma Teng nodded, "Although it's unlikely." But now that Your Majesty is in the capital of Kangju, we must not take it lightly! ”

Xiahou Yuan felt that Ma Teng's words were very reasonable, and asked, "So what should we do now?" ”

Ma Teng walked to the sand table. He frowned and said: "Since the main focus of our army's work in the past few days is on defense, we have not discovered the movements of the Guishan Army in time, and it is not easy to figure out the opponent's movements for a while!" So I think that all the cavalry under our command will rush to the Kangju royal capital at once! At the same time, the letter ordered the Kangju army on the crows to be on strict guard and not to slack off! In addition, in order to prevent the Kushan people from playing tricks, all the foot soldiers did not move! ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment, "What Shou Cheng said is true, then let's do it!" ”

Ma Teng nodded, summoned the herald, passed down the order, and soon before dawn, the other 20,000 Hun iron cavalry and Wuhuan legions here left the Mulberry River camp under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan, and rushed to the northeast of Kangju Wang at the speed of a rapid march, at the same time, Ma Teng sprinkled dozens of groups of scouts to the opposite bank, and sent a team of 1,000 people to search for the opponent's camp.

When the sun rose from the horizon, Ma Teng received news that the Kushan army had been divided into two parts, one of which was heading west towards Guishan, and the other was heading in the direction of Kangju, and the scouts were unable to discern the true movement of the Kushan army for the time being.

As soon as Ma Teng received this news, he almost immediately judged that the real purpose of the Guishan army was to return to China, but Ma Teng was worried that something unexpected would threaten Cao Cao's safety, and it was too late to take action at this moment, so Ma Teng still held his troops.

At noon, Ma Teng finally got the exact information that the main force of the Kushan army was returning to the country, and the army that was moving towards Kangju had turned around and rushed towards the main force of the Kushan.

Although Ma Teng was a little regretful, he was also relieved, and then he couldn't help but wonder, although it was unlikely that Guishan would achieve his strategic goals, such a decisive and long-planned retreat was really a little confusing.

"Could it be that something happened in Guishan?" Ma Teng couldn't help but guess.

Leaving these thoughts behind him, he didn't need to think about them now.

Ma Teng called the herald and ordered the situation here to be reported to Cao Cao and Sima Yi at the same time.

When Cao Cao received the biography from Ma Tengfeige, Cao Cao was discussing with King Kangju and Kang Wenrui, Cao Cao opened and read Ma Teng's biography, and King Kangju and Kang Wenrui looked at Cao Cao with a tight face.

Cao Cao suddenly said loudly: "Great! ”

There was a hint of surprise in Cao Cao's tone, and King Kangju hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, but what is the good news?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and said to King Kangju: "The Guishan army has retreated!" ”

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and King Kangju asked in disbelief, "Really? ”

Cao Cao, who was comfortable in his heart, couldn't help joking: "Of course it's true!" Will I still deceive King Kangju? ”

King Kangju didn't expect Cao Cao to speak like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a relaxed smile: "Of course not, it's Xiao Wang who is confused!" ”

Kang Wenrui, who was on the side, also cried with joy and said: "My Kangju has finally survived this hurdle!" (To be continued.) )
