Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 233: First Battle, Xing Daorong Defeats the Barbarians

However, when Xing Daorong returned to the camp to inspect the troops, his two old partners, Bao Long and Zhou Tai, naturally followed him.

However, Ma Yunlu, the "female general who protects the country" who went on the expedition with Xing Daorong, became dissatisfied when she saw that she was not mentioned.

After the troops were counted, he went straight to Xing Daorong and asked, "Xing Daorong! Why didn't you ask him to go with us this time?"

Despite the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, when it came to the expedition, Ma Yunlu was really not polite at all to Xing Daorong.

Check it out!

This time, he didn't even call him "General Xing", but called him by his name, "Xing Daorong".

But there was a reason why Xing Daorong did not ask Ma Yunlu to go to the battle.

As I said, it is true that Ma Yunlu was personally appointed as the "Female General Protecting the Country" by Liu Bei, but this is ultimately just a nominal position.

How to lead troops?

Ma Yunlu doesn’t have his own troops!
Of course, Xing Daorong could assign some troops to her as he did during the Guanzhong battle, but this might be okay for an occasional emergency, but it is not suitable for frequent use.

To put it bluntly, the soldiers under his command may follow Ma Yunlu because of Xing Daorong's orders, but they will not follow her as a female general willingly.

However, when Xing Daorong saw Ma Yunlu's pretty eyes staring at him, he couldn't explain these reasons clearly.

Her eyes are so lethal.

Like the sky in the autumn water, clear and transparent yet bottomless. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and at this moment she was staring at Xing Daorong, like a wolf locking onto its prey, revealing both unquestionable firmness and a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

Xing Daorong, just say it out loud!
After a long while, he finally said, "General Ma, can you just stay with me?"

When Ma Yunlu heard Xing Daorong's promise, her pretty eyes curved and she said with a smile, "Why not? Who knows, I can save your life at a critical moment!"

These words sounded like a curse on himself, but Xing Daorong knew that Ma Yunlu meant well.

He also smiled and said, "If I am saved by General Ma again, I will never be able to repay him in my lifetime."

Ma Yunlu listened and suddenly blushed. It was unknown what she was thinking. Her voice became a little lower and softer, but she said, "Then I will pay you back in the next life."

How could Xing Daorong not hear the affection in these words?

He blinked his eyes, and finally couldn't help himself. He pulled Ma Yunlu out of the tent and said, "Let's go, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yunlu threw his spear with his right hand, but let Xing Daorong hold it with his left hand, and echoed in a crisp voice: "Let's go! Kill the enemy!"

We have to capture a native first, so naturally we can't do it in a big way.

Xing Daorong took Ma Yunlu and dozens of cavalrymen and went out to inquire.

After walking for a few miles, we saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance.

When Xing Daorong and Ma Yunlu went up the hillside to look, they saw dozens of barbarian soldiers riding horses towards them.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and rushed out in two different directions without even greeting each other.

When the barbarians saw this, they ran away in shock.

Xing Daorong and Ma Yunlu were not willing to give up, so they chased after them. In a short while, they each captured several people alive. They returned to their own camp, treated them to wine and food, and asked them in detail why they had done so.

The barbarian soldiers were afraid of death, so they hurriedly told him: "In front of us is the camp of Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie, which is at the mountain pass. The east and west roads beside the camp lead to Wuxi Cave and the camps behind Dongdana and Ahuinan."

In this way, Xing Daorong had a general idea of ​​the deployment of the three groups of barbarian soldiers.

A large tent was immediately set up and everything was arranged.

That night, Xing Daorong and Ma Yunlu selected 5,000 Shu soldiers and ordered them to capture the barbarians to lead the way.

By the time we set out to march, it was already the second watch; the moon was bright and clear, so we marched under the moonlight.

When we just arrived at the Jinhuan Sanjie stronghold, it was around four o'clock in the morning. The barbarian soldiers had just gotten up to cook, and it seemed that they were preparing for a fight at dawn.

Xing Daorong and Ma Yunlu said: "This is a rare opportunity, let's charge forward now!"

Ma Yunlu nodded for a while, but said nothing, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. When the army rushed in, the barbarians were cooking, but they were attacked by the enemy and immediately fell into chaos.

Xing Daorong charged straight into the central army and met Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie.

After just a brief encounter, Xing Daorong chopped with his axe and nearly knocked Jinhuan Sanjie off his horse.

Fortunately, this encounter was too sudden and Xing Daorong was not fully prepared, so Jin Huan avoided the first attack.

He only avoided the first attack, but the subsequent ones were difficult to avoid.

Xing Daorong chopped repeatedly, using a set of "Sixteen Postures of Guandao" to attack Jinhuan Sanjie.

The Golden Ring Three Knots had never seen such a fierce move, and even Meng Huo could not oppress it so much.

He had no power to fight back and was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his hands.

The barbarian soldiers were already at a loss as to what to do, and their commander also ran away, so the army was immediately in disarray.

Xing Daorong and Ma Yunlu said: "This barbarian army has been defeated, and there are still two barbarian troops."

"You and I will lead half of the troops. You will head east to attack Dongdana Village, and I will head west to attack Ahuinan Village."

Ma Yunlu laughed: "Okay, let's see who is faster!"

After saying that, he led his troops away without hesitation!
By the time they reached the barbarian camp, it was already daybreak.

First, let's talk about Ma Yunlu rushing to Dongdana's camp. When Dongdana heard that there was an army coming from behind the camp, he led his troops out of the camp to resist the enemy.

Suddenly, a shout was heard from the front gate of the village, and the barbarians fell into chaos.

It turned out that Zhou Tai's army was still there, and they had been coming straight to attack this village. Now, together with Ma Yunlu, they attacked from both sides, and the barbarians were defeated.

Dong Tuna tried to escape, but he did.

What happened to Xing Daorong was basically the same.

When he led his troops to the back of Ahuinan's village, Bao Long had already arrived in front of the village.

The barbarian soldiers were defeated by the double attack, and Ah Huinan took advantage of the chaos to escape.

These barbarians were able to run away, but this one was not caught.

Xing Daorong had no choice but to gather his troops and return to see Zhuge Liang.

But he said: "Military Advisor, although I have broken through the enemy camp, I have not been able to capture a single enemy general. I am truly ashamed."

Ma Yunlu listened and said in a friendly way: "Jinhuan Sanjie, Dongdana, and Ahuinan all abandoned their horses and went across the mountains, so we can't catch up with him."

"This matter... can't be blamed on the general..."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he pointed at Xing Daorong and looked like he understood.

Xing Daorong felt a little embarrassed when he looked at him, then he laughed and said, "I have captured the three men, you don't have to worry."

As soon as Xing Daorong heard it, he knew that Zhuge Liang had a backup plan.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Yun came to untie the three knots of the golden ring, Liao Hua untied Dong Tu'na, and Zhang Yi untied A Hui Nan.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhuge Liang explained: "I expected that if the three men of Jinhuan Sanjie were defeated, they would definitely flee to the mountain road, so I sent Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and Zhang Yi to ambush them and capture them."

When everyone heard this, they naturally admired Zhuge Liang's brilliant strategy.

Xing Daorong didn't think it was a big deal.

Zhuge Liang would definitely be able to pull off this strategy easily!
Just when I was thinking that I would not have to worry about anything if I followed Zhuge Liang into battle, I saw Zhuge Liang turned around and said, "Since Ziyu has broken the formation, you will have to go to the battle later."

"It will take a little more effort..."
