Jimei Lu of the Three Kingdoms

Ma Chao was sitting next to Ma Teng. He was originally a taciturn man. Since he returned to the camp, he had not said a word, and kept replaying the battle with Xu Chu just now in his mind.

No matter how he deliberates, he can't find a way to defeat Xu Chu, that is to say, he is indeed inferior to Lin Jun Xu Chu in terms of force.

This made Ma Chao, who had always been extremely proud, feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Besides, besides Xu Chu, he also observed the big black man who fought against Pound during the battle.

In his deduction, he is also not the opponent of this big black man.

If it is said that he could not beat Xu Chu, it could also be said that he met Lin Jun's number one master, and Ma Jiajun was slightly inferior to Lin Jun.

But there is also the No. 2 general of the Lin Army who is obviously superior to him in force, which makes Ma Chao unacceptable anyway.

Is he really not number one in the world?

At first I heard that under Dong Zhuo's command there was a mighty general, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, who held Fang Tian's painted halberd like no other in the world.

It's a pity that Ma Chao never had the chance to fight against Lu Bu. By the time he rose up, Lu Bu had already turned against Dong Zhuo and had been entrenched in the Hongnong area for a long time, too far away from the Ma's army's territory.

Originally, Ma Chao always regretted this, thinking that it was hard to find an opponent in the world.

When he really met an unmatched opponent, he realized that the taste of being invincible used to be so wonderful.

Ma Teng and Han Sui discussed how to defend the city for a long time, and saw that the eldest son Ma Chao remained silent.

Then he asked: "Chao'er, tomorrow the Lin army will definitely send troops to attack the city. I wonder if you have any suggestions on defense?"

Ma Teng is very familiar with these children in his family. Headed by Ma Chao, the three brothers are not good at defense, only good at offense.

Asking Ma Chao's opinion at this time is just to divert Ma Chao's attention and let him temporarily forget the defeat on the battlefield, not really wanting to get Ma Chao's advice on defense.

Ma Chao looked up at Ma Teng, and even Ma Teng was startled by the coldness in Ma Chao's eyes.

"Father, the Lin army is powerful and invincible. My child thought that the two cities of Fanhe and Liqian could not be maintained by defending themselves.

Next, it's better to give the child a sentry and walk in the wilderness outside the city. It can not only deter the Lin army, but also attack its food road at any time, creating a good opportunity for our army to win this war. "

Han Sui struck his left palm vigorously with his right fist: "Nephew Meng Qixian is right. Our Xiliang iron cavalry is invincible in the world. This strategy is to develop my strengths and avoid the enemy's advantage."

Ma Teng thought about it. What Ma Chao said was reasonable. With a powerful Ranger mobile outside, Lin Jun, who was attacking the city, would always have concerns and dare not attack the city with all his strength.

"Since my son has this confidence, I will trust you as a father. In this way, you and Yan Ming will lead the army to swim outside, and you and Uncle Han will guard the two cities of Fanhe and Liqian respectively."

Han Sui opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He originally wanted Yan Xing to help him defend the city, but since Ma Teng asked, he couldn't disobey, otherwise Ma Teng would give him an excuse for delaying the military plane, and he would behead him at any time.

But Ma Chao shook his head and refused: "Father commander, let Yan Xing follow you, the battle is dangerous, with a master like Yan Xing by your side, the child can rest assured to go guerrilla outside the city."

Ma Teng laughed loudly: "As a father, he has traveled across the northwest for dozens of years. Why should a child with a yellow mouth be guarded with him? You and Yan Ming can fight with confidence. As a father, you will never let Lin Feng's soldiers step on the wall of Fanhe."

After a pause for a while, Ma Teng continued to laugh and said, "What's more, my father and your uncle Han still have two generals, Li Kan and Zhang Heng, who are enough to deal with the attack from the Lin army."

Ma Chao thought about it and agreed.

Only Yan Xing was left by Ma Teng's side. To be honest, Ma Chao was still a little uneasy.

After all, Yan Xing is Han Sui's confidant and favorite general. Once there is a second heart, and Ma Chao is not in the city, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu's father and son alone cannot resist the brave and invincible Yan Xing.

On the other side, Ma Chao and Yan Xing led the cavalry out of the city overnight to find a place to hide, while Ma Teng and Han Sui respectively led Li Kan and Zhang Heng to guard the city.

On the other hand, Lin Jun slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate the great victory during the day. He made a fuss in the middle of the night, and he didn't know how much wine he drank, which made the officials in charge of logistics complain again and again.

With roads blocked by heavy snow, it is extremely difficult to transport grain and grass from the rear. Only one county in Wuwei can provide food for people who can't afford 10,000+ elite soldiers.

In the early morning of the next day, it was still Jia Xu who sat in the commander-in-chief and beat drums to gather the generals.

Except for Zhang Laosan who was hangover and failed to enter the account, the rest of the people were all energetic and eager to try.

Jia Xu handed over the first batch of siege tasks to Li Jue, Guo Si and other Dong Jun surrendered generals, apparently with the idea of ​​using the surrendered army to consume Ma Teng's strength.

Lin Feng didn't quite agree at first, but after being nagged by Jia Xu for a long time, he still agreed.

The so-called benevolence does not control soldiers, one will be successful and all bones will be wiped out.

If Li Jue, Guo Si and other surrendered generals are not allowed to lead the army to attack the city, they will have to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers of the Western Army.

Fighting always kills people.

Chapter 535

The siege battle was extremely brutal.

The tops of the two cities of Fanhe and Liqian were covered with ice and snow, which brought great trouble to the siege troops.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had already transported hundreds of well rails from the rear, and covered a large area of ​​the city with firepower. Countless arrows beat Ma's army so hard that they dared to show their faces.

The siege on the first day did not achieve any major results, but destroyed most of the defensive weapons on the top of the city, clearing the way for the next day's siege.

When the setting sun was about to fall, Lin Jun called for gold to withdraw his troops and stopped the siege.

After returning to the camp, Lin Feng summoned each of the generals Dong Junjiang to encourage and praise them one by one, making all the generals smile and be overjoyed.

At nightfall, Jia Xu called the four generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou to the commander's camp.

"Today's attack on the two cities, Ma Chao and Yan Xing, the two generals, have never shown up. Obviously, the two of them are no longer in the city. The four of you need to be more careful tonight, in case Ma Yan and the second general will rob the camp at night."

The night passed, but there was no disturbance, and the expected Ma Chaojun did not appear.

As the sky brightened, Lin Jun continued to attack the city.

Fan Chou fought so vigorously that he even participated in a battle to climb the city.

Although he was finally driven off the city by Ma Jiajun, Fan Chou was also rewarded by Jia Xu for notifying the whole army.

In this way, all the new recruits were stimulated to get angry one by one, and drove troops to attack the city regardless of the cost.

The fighting situation became more and more fierce.

Fanhe City guarded by Ma Teng is relatively better, but Liqian City on Han Sui's side seems to be crumbling and may be breached at any time.

Fortunately, I persisted the next day.

When Lin Jun retreated like a tide, Han Sui sat down on the blood pool on the top of the city, without any regard for his usual appearance and manners.

It's too tragic. During the offensive and defensive battle of Liqian City, at least nearly [-] soldiers have fallen. The blood on the ice and snow on the top of the city has been dyed bright red, shining scarlet in the sun.

The Lin army also suffered heavy losses, at least twice the strength of the Ma family army.
