I am the system

"What, how come so fast?"

Hearing the soldier's report, Ma Teng's face suddenly changed.

Although he really wanted to kill Lu Bu to avenge Ma Chao, it didn't mean he wanted to do whatever the cost.

After all, Ma Chao is dead, but he, Ma Teng, is still alive, and his other two sons, Ma Tie and Matthew, are still alive. He still has to think about the future of his Ma family.

The tenacity of Zhenyuan City was beyond his expectation. Up to now, his 11 troops have suffered close to 4 casualties, and [-] of the remaining [-] soldiers have entered the city, and the rest have been divided into four sides. city ​​walls.When Lu Bu's reinforcements of more than [-] arrive, it will be a big melee, and they may even be surrounded and besieged.

"Immediately mobilize the troops from the west gate and north gate to the east wall."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ma Teng immediately issued a new order.

Although he gave up the siege, he could still avoid being flanked, reduce risks and casualties, head-to-head, and without the city wall defense, he still believed that the elite soldiers in his hands could crush Lu Bu's reinforcements even though the numbers were similar.

Following Ma Teng's order, in about half an hour, the Ma's army outside the two northwestern city walls rushed to the east city wall, waiting in full force, and the south was the direction where Lu Bu's army came to help.

At this time, in the afterglow of the setting sun, in the distant fields, Lu Bu's [-] troops were already visible in the distance.

"Set up a defensive formation!"

Seeing Lu Bu's army coming with billowing smoke and dust in the distance, Ma Teng immediately issued a battle order.

Following the order, the [-] Ma family troops immediately formed a defensive formation, with shield soldiers and spearmen in front, archers behind, spearmen and reserve troops behind, and cavalry on both sides.

After Lu Bu's army arrived, they immediately organized their formation and did not launch an attack immediately.

"The reinforcements are finally here!"

On the south wall, Zhang Bei, who was fighting, looked at the reinforcements coming from afar, and he was also relieved.

It's a pity that the city is already in chaos at this time, and the soldiers are even more dead and injured. They are almost relying on the people to defend the city, unable to cooperate with the outside.

After the formation of Lu Bu's army was organized, they did not immediately organize a charge.Instead, they took the lead in firing mortar shells at the Ma's army who had already organized their formation.

"Shhhhhh!"

The shriek of shells echoed in the sky.

"Boom!"

The next moment, before the soldiers of Ma's Army could understand what the sound was, dense mortar shells fell from the sky.

Explosions continued to ring out in the defensive formation of the Ma's army.The flying shrapnel and the shock wave of the explosion exploded in the crowd, blowing up a large number of soldiers in an instant, with limbs and arms flying around.

The sudden intensive explosion disrupted the Ma's army's formation and panicked the Ma's army's morale.

The cavalry on both wings were thrown into a mess by the explosion, and the horses neighed uncontrollably.

"Those who kill horses will receive the blessings of the immortals for the whole family! The whole army charges and kills!"

After more than ten rounds of shelling, seeing that the opponent's formation was already in disarray, Lu Bu immediately gave the order to charge.

"kill!"

The next moment, Lu Bu's army rushed towards the Ma's army whose formation was already in chaos.

"Quickly, reorganize the formation! Order the cavalry to charge immediately!"

Seeing the approaching Lu Bu army, Ma Teng gave orders loudly, even ordering the cavalry to charge immediately, hoping to buy time for his army to reorganize.

But at this time, the formation of the cavalry on the two wings was already chaotic, and the horses were frightened, unable to charge at all.

"Kill! Whoever kills Lu Bu will be named a general! Reward ten thousand gold!"

Seeing that the cavalry was unable to organize a charge, Ma Teng had no choice but to grit his teeth and give the order to charge.

It is better for the two armies to fight in a melee than to be rushed into a chaotic formation by the opponent, and he is also confident that the elite soldiers in his hands can crush Lu Bu's peasant army.

Following Ma Teng's order, the Ma family army immediately launched a charge.

Soon, the two sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Soon, Ma Teng realized that he had underestimated the support army led by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who was riding a huge horse, took the lead, and rushed directly into the Ma's army. He brandished the five-meter-long Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and directly smashed a ten-meter-wide path of blood. Anyone who was swept by the halberd blade The Ma family army was either cut in two, or was swept away by Lu Bu's huge force. No one could get close to Lu Bu.

The reinforcements brought by Lu Bu were also very brave. Although they were inferior to Ma Teng's army in terms of weapons and armor, they were far superior to those of Ma's army in terms of strength and speed. When the two armies came into contact, a large number of Ma's soldiers fell .

Among them, Lu Bu's [-] elites were even more sturdy and unafraid of death.

----------

By the next morning, the chaotic battle was over.

In the field covered with corpses, Lu Bu's soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and taking prisoners.

"Captain, the casualties have been counted!"

In Zhenyuan City, the strategist came to Lu Bu with the calculated battle report, his expression heavy.

"Read!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu said immediately.At this moment, he couldn't help becoming a little nervous.Not only is Zhenyuan City difficult to defend, but they are also exhausted to join the battle.

"The defenders of Zhenyuan City killed more than 4000 people, and the rest were all wounded. The people of Zhenyuan City died 3000 and injured [-]. Our army suffered [-] casualties and [-] were injured."

"Ma Teng's more than 11 troops were wiped out in total, more than 2, and [-] were captured, of which more than [-] were wounded soldiers. Ma Xiu, the son of Ma Teng, was captured alive."

"The bodies of Ma Teng and Ma Tie were not found. They should have escaped in the dark after the defeat last night."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's face turned ugly, and he ordered: "Make statistics, appease the sergeants and the people in Zhenyuan City, and guard the captives. The bodies of the soldiers and people who died in battle are buried, and the merits and pensions are counted and distributed to their families. .”

Ma Teng and Ma Tie escaped, this is a future trouble!

Moreover, the casualties were so large this time, and the price they paid was also very heavy.

As for the fleeing enemies, they cannot be pursued.The defenders in Zhenyuan City were already exhausted, and the troops they came to aid also marched all day in a hurry during the day, and there was another chaotic battle at night, they were already exhausted and unable to pursue the fleeing enemy.

"promise!"

Hearing this, the counselor responded immediately and hurried out to make arrangements.

"Ding! The first defensive battle is successful, rewarding 90 catties of high-yielding corn grain, rewarding five [-] mortars, and [-] shells. Rewarding ten thousand people for one blessing, rewarding one foot and three inches of spiritual energy rain, rewarding new farming tools, Reward efficient steelmaking methods."

After the counselor left, the system's notification sounded in Lu Bu's mind.

Hearing the system's voice, Lu Bu's mood suddenly improved. Although the casualties were heavy, the system immortal also gave him a generous reward.Informing all the soldiers and civilians of this news will surely dispel some of the sadness after the war.

"Ding! In view of the fact that 7 people were blessed in advance, the reward for 90 people will be deducted once, the reward for spiritual rain will be deducted, and the reward for [-] mortars and shells will be deducted."

The next second, before Lu Bu went out to announce, the voice of the system sounded in Lu Bu's mind again.

"Forehead!"

Hearing the prompt at the back of the system, Lu Bu, who was just about to go out, froze for a moment, and then smiled wryly.
