Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 382 Chang'an
Chapter 380 Two

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The sound of the javelin piercing through the air resounded, and then it fell instantly, piercing through the target.

"How could this be?" Yang Ding narrowly escaped Pound's attack, sent out a signal to summon his ambush, and saw this terrifying scene, but now Yang Ding and Pound had already staggered in order to avoid Pound's attack The distance, so the javelins fired would naturally not avoid Yang Ding for fear of accidentally injuring Pound. Yang Ding just turned one side, and saw a javelin approaching Yang Ding's chest, and it was too late to avoid it.

Hearing the sound of "噗嗤", Yang Ding only felt a chill in his chest, and then there was a heat flow from his chest, which was Yang Ding's blood, followed by a coolness spreading from the wound on his chest to the surroundings, Gradually, Yang Ding felt that his consciousness began to blur, and his life was gradually lost.

"Go to Yang Ding." Seeing Yang Ding gradually dying, Pang De rode forward, retracted his spear, pulled out his sword from his waist, and slashed at Yang Ding's neck, beheading Yang Ding's head , but even at this moment, Yang Ding still had a trace of confusion on his face, as if he still didn't understand why he was the one who led the enemy into the ambush circle, but he was the one who died.

"Who dares to fight me?" Seeing Pang De beheading Yang Ding, Ma Chao shook his spear and shouted angrily.

"Who dares to fight with me?" Immediately following Ma Chao, the three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry behind him also shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole field. This mighty roar shocked me. When I turned around and saw Ma Chao and his Xiliang iron cavalry, as well as the dead Yang Ding and his ambush soldiers, their behavior was completely different. The people on Yang Ding's side began to shrink back. , but the soldiers and horses on Ma Teng's side were refreshed by it.

"General, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here." At this moment, a long roar broke the situation on the field again. Originally, Yang Ding's army firmly occupied the initiative on the battlefield, but after Yang Ding's death, the army's morale fluttered a little. There was no chaos, just because all the soldiers knew that there was Li Jue behind them, and as long as Li Jue was still there, they would not lose. But now that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang have arrived safely, it means that something is wrong with Zhang Ji, which makes them These soldiers, who were not nervous at first, quickened their pace of retreat, inadvertently getting out of the way of Chairman Ma Teng.

"Ma Dai, lead your troops and leave with me." Seeing that the enemy army retreated in a panic, and his own troops had already arrived, Ma Teng said directly to Ma Dai without any hesitation.

It's just that Ma Teng didn't notice that when his soldiers and horses gradually withdrew from the encirclement of Li Jue's soldiers and horses, groups of soldiers wearing their uniforms joined them from the surrounding woods from time to time. The soldiers did not come into contact with Ma Teng's original soldiers, but formed small groups and followed around Ma Teng's army. Although they were scattered, they seemed to maintain a large order. This was the elite army led by Zhang Xiu.Zhang Xiu broke up these soldiers and horses and mixed them with Ma Teng's army. As long as they entered Chang'an City, these soldiers would approach the city gate intentionally or unintentionally. After Zhang Xiu gave an order, these soldiers and horses would control the city gate , to prepare for the ensuing siege.

"It's a little strange. It is said that Li Jue should supervise the battle in person, but why didn't he see Li Jue today?" As soon as Fang rushed out of the encirclement, Han Sui rode his horse to Ma Teng's side, and said suspiciously.You must know that even if the soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si did not flee, each of Li Jue and Guo Si had no more than [-] soldiers and horses. After the first battle, Han Sui knew that Li Jue had dispatched at least [-] soldiers and horses. Li Jue's shadow was not seen in the battle, which is really worrying.To explain why Li Jue didn't show up, there was only one possibility, and that was a conspiracy, and this was what Han Sui was most worried about.

"Hehe, Brother Han Sui is too worried. We are planning everything when we return to Chang'an City." Ma Teng glanced at Han Sui and said with a smile.

Just now when Ma Teng was in crisis, Han Sui wanted to leave Ma Teng and seek refuge with others. Ma Teng didn't realize this, but at that time Ma Teng couldn't protect himself, so he didn't have the mood to care about others, but now that Ma Teng escaped to heaven, Recalling that Ma Teng wanted to run away when he was in crisis, and looking at Han Sui, his nose was no longer his nose, and his eyes were no longer eyes.From Ma Teng's point of view, he was able to escape from Li Jue's siege, which was due to Ma Chao's fearless and dangerous lead of troops to fight back. Of course, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang also made a lot of efforts. Why bother to be rich.Regarding Han Sui's opinion, it was just a perfunctory attitude due to years of affection.

"Boom, boom, boom." Just after Han Suibing, including Ma Chao and Liu Guanzhang, broke away from Li Jue's encirclement, drums began to sound behind him, and the sound became louder and louder. A neat formation appeared behind them, and there were actually many tall siege equipment in the formation.But in the army formation, a group of generals and stars surrounded one general, but it was Li Jue that Han Sui had just mentioned.

"Didn't you say that Li Jue didn't show up? Now you can finally rest assured that Li Jue actually wanted to take advantage of our army's opportunity to attack Jincheng?" Seeing Li Jue leading the army to follow behind his soldiers and horses, Ma Teng's expression turned pale. After a sinking, he said with some displeasure.

"Is General Ma Teng outside the city?" As soon as Ma Tengfang came to the city of Chang'an, a person on the tower looked down at the city with some disappointment and asked. This person was none other than Wang Yun who insisted on destroying Li Jue and Guo Si.

"I'm under Ma Teng, who owed the Son of Heaven's grace, so I came back here to apologize to the Son of Heaven." Seeing Ma Teng's disappointed expression, Ma Teng was also a little embarrassed, so he could only answer to Wang Yun in the city.It must be now that Li Jue's troops are approaching the city, Wang Yun would not dare to open the city to let people in unless he sees Ma Teng.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. The general doesn't need to worry about it. We should solve the current worries first. Other things will last longer in the future, and we will make plans. I will let someone open the city gate for the general." Although Ma Teng was defeated in battle, but faced For the current situation, Wang Yun is inconvenient to blame. As for not letting Ma Teng enter the city, Wang Yun has never even thought about it. Let alone Li Jue's approaching the city, it is time to employ people. Among them, half of them were Ma Teng's subordinates. Wang Yun shut Ma Teng out, fearing that these people would rebel first, so how could they resist Li Jue's attack.

"I'm so sorry for King Situ." After Ma Teng was defeated, he felt that he had no face to see others, so he spoke in a much softer tone to Wang Yun. Wang Yun wants to go up to the next level.

"Li Su, take someone to welcome the general back." Wang Yun nodded at Ma Teng, then turned and said to Li Su behind him.

"Subordinate Li Sute came to welcome the general, please enter the city first." As soon as the gate of Chang'an was opened, Li Su led a group of soldiers out quickly, and the soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate as soon as they came out. Obviously, these soldiers were Li Su who was afraid that Li Jue would follow Ma Teng's army, so he brought these soldiers out to stop him, and at the same time showed his favor to Ma Teng. Don't mind any more.

"Thank you." Ma Teng whispered two words, and then rode his horse into the city.Ma Teng can understand Li Su's point of view, but now that the enemy is in front of him, since Li Su can show such a heart, Ma Teng can't be too stingy. His face also softened a lot.

"Did the general forget about Fan Chou and Xu Rong?" Ma Teng's face softened, but Han Sui, who was behind him, avoided Li Su, and then whispered to Ma Teng.

As soon as Han Sui said this, Ma Teng's face was covered with frost again. If you want to ask Ma Teng who he hates the most now, it is not Li Jue or Guo Si, but Fan Chou and Xu Rong, because it is these two people Li Su and Fan Chou and Xu Rong were very familiar with each other, so it was Li Su who persuaded Fan Chou and Xu Rong to vote for Wang Yun. This made Wang Yun able to fight against Ma Teng in the court, coupled with the support of civil servants, Ma Teng always respected Wang Yun three points. Now that Fan Chou and Xu Rong have betrayed the court, is Li Su still reliable?Thinking of this, Ma Teng turned around involuntarily and looked at Li Su outside the city gate, but at this time Ma Teng had already entered the city, so he couldn't see Li Su.However, even though Ma Teng doubted Li Su's loyalty, now was not the time to take Li Su down. This would only make things more complicated.

No one noticed that during the process of Ma Teng's army entering the city, some soldiers and horses were approaching the city gate intentionally or unintentionally, and some of them were already holding knives, and quietly came behind the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"Report to the general, Wang Situ, please wait in the city to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy." As soon as Ma Tengfang entered the city, he was still thinking about Li Su's affairs, and a soldier came forward to report.It turned out that Wang Yun saw Li Jue's army pressing in, so he asked Ma Teng's opinion. As a civil servant leader, Wang Yun had never experienced any battles. Now that someone is attacking the city, Wang Yun is very disturbed.

"Okay, go and tell Wang Situ that I'll be there right away after making some arrangements." Although Ma Teng was not in the mood to discuss military affairs with a man like Wang Situ who didn't know how to fight, but Ma Teng was newly defeated, so naturally he couldn't take it too seriously, so he agreed. soundtrack.

"General, are our people going to the city to join the battle right away?" Ma Dai, who was beside Ma Teng, asked Ma Teng when he knew that Li Jue was leading his troops to chase after him.

"Let our people rest for a while. How can it be so easy for Li Jue's army to attack the city? How can it be so easy to attack Chang'an City, which is high and deep?" Ma Teng was originally defeated and had already lost confidence, but now he returned When I arrived in Chang'an, my mood finally calmed down, and I began to feel a little more stable and mature than usual.
