The Three Kingdoms

Hearing this, Ma Chao smiled coldly: "Hmph, what a Ke Bineng, what a Xianbei tribe, I will definitely make you regret joining Soochow!"

He took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and said, "The camp was attacked last night. How about the casualties of the Northern Wolf Guards?"

"Report to the general, in the battle last night, the northern camp was breached, and the middle camp fell into a bloody battlefield. Our soldiers were caught off guard, and the casualties were heavy. According to the statistics in the morning, [-] soldiers died in battle. Li Kan died in battle, General Cheng Yin died in battle, General Candidate was seriously injured..."

With a heavy face, Jushou reported in a low voice.

"Ke Bi Neng, a certain family will never die together!"

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but glared angrily, raised his head to the sky and howled wildly, his voice was like thunder, resounding nine heavens above.

He attacked Jieting for three consecutive days, and his own casualties were only controlled at 3000, but now their camp was attacked by Ke Bineng overnight, and they actually killed more than [-] soldiers.

If the casualties in the Battle of Jieting are added up, they only fought for three days, and the casualties already exceeded one-sixth.

This is a huge number.

"General calm down!" Ju Shou said in a deep voice.

"General, calm down!" All the generals behind Ma Chao bowed their heads one by one, trembling.

"Ju Gongyu, tell a certain family why there is a Xianbei army in the north of us!"

Ma Chao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were like cold knives, he stared at Jushou coldly, his cold voice filled the camp, and none of the generals under his command dared to speak.

"General, maybe we've been tricked!"

Hearing this, Ju Shou involuntarily raised a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The general led the army to retreat from Bingzhou to Liangzhou. We have been very vigilant. In order to prevent Wu Jun from chasing up, we put a lot of scouts behind to be vigilant. So it is impossible for Wu Jun to come from Bingzhou, so if they want to enter Liangzhou, there is only one way left!"

"prairie!"

The generals thought of the terrain in the northwest, and immediately understood the meaning of Jushou, and their faces were very surprised.

"The road to the prairie is not only difficult, but also detours. The journey is farther than ours, and the marching speed is also more difficult than ours. If they want to keep up with our footsteps, they have to leave camp one step ahead of us..."

Zhang Heng's face changed color in astonishment: "So, could it be that they..."

"That's right, I suspect that the Wu army may have already understood the intention of our Northern Wolf Guards to retreat. They were just playing tricks on us in Bingzhou, but they led a large army to detour through the prairie and enter Beidi County from Shuofang. We were fooled." Already!"

Jushou's face was ugly, and a chill could not help rising from the tailbone in his heart, and his whole body was cold.

If this is a trap...

Then they prepared for a long time, and even gave up the battle to merge the state, and it became precarious.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Report to the general, we have found the traces of the Jieting Wu army!" The scout bowed his head and reported: "The Jieting Wu army has all withdrawn to the southwest Longshan!"

"Longshan?"

Ma Chao's pupils changed color slightly, and he shouted, "Map!"

"exist!"

The personal guard Ma Dai personally opened a topographic map near Jieting, and pointed to the location: "This is Longshan, southwest of Jieting, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the backbone of Jieting Town!"

"They're stalling for time!"

Ma Chao's eyes were like a rainbow, and what he said hit Wu Jun's intention.

"That's right, they retreated to Longshan, only to delay time, which makes it more certain that Wu Jun must plan!" Jushou's heart was as cold as ice, and his whole body was full of chills.

"Ma Wan, how many horses and soldiers can Kebi have?" Ma Chao asked.

"No more than fifty thousand!"

Ma Wan stood up and said with certainty: "Otherwise the battle last night would have wiped out our camp!"

"With Ke Bi Neng's [-] army, plus the Wu army in Liangzhou, it is at most evenly matched with us. With the strength in my hands, even if we open up two battlefields, we will not lose, and we still have Zhang Ren Sima Yi's two troops, the soldiers and horses are still higher than them!"

Ma Chao pondered for a while, his expression calmed down completely, and he began to analyze in detail: "If we choose to fight, we will win, unless they have soldiers and horses that we don't know about deploying secretly?"

"Where are the soldiers and horses?"

The generals thought for a while, and shook their heads one by one: "Wu Jun's soldiers and horses in the north have been exposed, except for the soldiers and horses of Youzhou!"

"Impossible!" Ju Shou said: "I sent people to watch closely. Even if Huang Zhong's main force wants to enter Liangzhou, it will take at least ten days and a half months!"

"That's something wrong!"

Ma Chao became a little irritable. Looking at the map, he still couldn't figure out where Wu Jun squeezed out the army.

The generals were also staring at the battle map, but they couldn't figure out Wu Jun's cards.

"Forget it, guessing and guessing, they will probably be led into the ditch. We don't care if they have ambushed or not. The situation must be stabilized now!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, his expression was determined, and the light in his eyes became fierce: "We must first take down the Wu army on Longshan. Although Longshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has a big disadvantage. They have no water source. Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, Chengyi, you three, immediately lead your troops to encircle Longshan and not attack!"

"promise!"

"Ma Wan, you personally lead [-] troops to guard the camp to guard against the Xianbei army in the north."

"promise!"

After assigning the task, Ma Chao dispersed the generals, leaving Ma Dai behind.

"Bo Zhan, you may be right!" Ma Chao looked at the blue sky and white jade with a bitter expression on his face.

"Brother, I suspect that Wu Jun is going to besiege and kill our Northern Wolf Guards!"

"Do they have such a big appetite?"

"The accident is that you didn't expect it. You think they don't have such an appetite. It just so happens that they have troops deployed that we didn't expect!"

"Then what do you think I should do now?"

"Retire troops in Guanzhong!"

"no!"

Ma Chao shook his head: "We haven't counted how far this battle has come. If we withdraw our troops at this time, we will hand over Zhang Ren and Sima Yi to the Wu army. I can't even explain to the court!"

He thought for a while, and added: "A certain family is not completely convinced by Cao Mengde, but Zhang Liao handed over this army to me without any scruples because he believed in me, and even returned you and the eight generals. Give it to me, a scholar will die for his confidant, I can't betray Zhang Wenyuan's trust!" (To be continued.)
