Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1200: Counterattack

It was absolutely unexpected for ordinary people to be able to obtain their own fields. Over the years, they could only rely on being tenant farmers for aristocratic families and barely make ends meet. This time Shimono was caught in a war, and the people had no money.

There was too much surplus food. If the war lasted for a long time, the people in the city would be the first to be unable to support themselves.

Not to mention the excitement of the people of Xiabian after receiving the news, and let's say that Ma Chao led his soldiers to leave Xiabian with a look full of anger. The situation in Xiabian was not that bad for the defenders, but it was precisely because of the rebellion of the noble families in the city that he

I had to leave Xiabian sadly.

There was a large amount of food and grass stored in Xiaben City. The defeat was so sudden that Ma Chao did not have time to burn the food and grass, and the baggage was even cheaper for Lu Bu.

"General, although Xiabian is lost, Longxi has an army of five thousand, which is enough to resist Lu Bu." Ma Dai advised.

Ma Chao said: "What makes me angry, general, is that the aristocratic families in the city actually listened to Lu Bu's instigation. After Lu Bu enters the city, these aristocratic families will be the first to suffer misfortune."

After counting the troops and horses, Ma Chao's expression became even darker. The two thousand cavalry who followed him to Wudu now only had more than a thousand left. Their expressions even showed panic. In addition, the defenders who had escaped from the city were

, At this time, Ma Chao had only more than 3,000 people under his command.

The original defenders in Wudu City had no sense of belonging to Ma Chao. After following Ma Chao beyond the city, deserters continued to appear in the army. Even with Ma Chao's strict orders, the effect was not satisfactory.

"Lu Bu will definitely pay a heavy price in the future." Ma Chao said through gritted teeth, his handsome face turning ashen.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of galloping horses came from the left.

Ma Dai's expression changed drastically: "General, retreat quickly, I'm afraid it's the enemy's cavalry."

Ma Chao immediately ordered the garrison in the city to resist the cavalry, and led the Xiliang cavalry to retreat without hesitation. Wudu's army was already in a panic. Even after following him to Longxi, it was difficult to do anything. I am afraid that they had not reached Longxi yet.

They have almost escaped. Instead of taking these people to Longxi, it is better to let these troops play their final role.

Li Yan led five hundred flying cavalry and defeated Wudu's army without any effort. More soldiers chose to surrender at this time. Ma Chao had already led the cavalry away from them, leaving them unable to see the victory.

Hope, some soldiers scattered and fled.

After leaving hundreds of cavalry to collect the surrendered soldiers, Li Yan led the flying cavalry to kill in the direction of Ma Chao's retreat.

Ma Chao, who was leading the cavalry away, received the news that the flying cavalry was chasing him. He frowned and realized that the flying cavalry dared to be so rampant with only a few hundred people. He didn't mind teaching the flying cavalry a lesson.

After Li Yan led the flying cavalry to pursue him, he saw the Xiliang cavalry waiting in full formation, and he immediately increased his vigilance. The Xiliang cavalry's combat effectiveness was not weak.

Ma Chao waved the spear in his hand, and the five hundred cavalry behind him came towards the flying cavalry.

The flying cavalry showed off the scimitars in their hands and fought with the Xiliang cavalry. Just as the two sides were fighting inextricably, Ma Dai led more than 500 cavalry and came from the left.

Unprepared, the flying cavalry's formation was in chaos. Not only did they have to face the attack from Ma Chao, but they also had to guard against Ma Dai. For a time, the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable for the flying cavalry.

"Retreat!" Li Yan gave the order to retreat without hesitation, and led more than a hundred flying cavalry to cut off the rear in person. Li Yan looked at Ma Chao with a dignified look. He dared to attack the flying cavalry in such a situation. Ma Chao

As expected, he is a powerful general of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing the flying cavalry retreating, the Xiliang cavalry burst into shouts.

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered his cavalry to clean the battlefield, and rewarded the scimitars to the cavalry with meritorious service. This was the first time the Xiliang cavalry cleaned the battlefield when they faced the flying cavalry. As for the weapons among the flying cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry's

The soldiers have longed for weapons made of hundreds of steel, and even the generals among the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are not treated like this.

Although he is not very good at using scimitars, he still attracts the favor of the army's lieutenants. Faced with this situation, Ma Chao is also a little helpless. Who allows Lu Bu's cavalry to use such sophisticated weapons? This is also the most terrifying thing for the Bingzhou Army.

In this place, all the elite cavalry are equipped with weapons made of hundreds of steel. Looking at the princes in the world, no one has such courage. Ma Chao is even a little jealous of the cavalry under Lu Bu's command.

Of course, what most unbalanced the cavalry under other princes was that the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were paid.

Although he won a small victory against the flying cavalry, Ma Chao's mood was a little depressed. The reason why the flying cavalry retreated just now was because he was caught off guard. If they were to fight these cavalry head-on, even the elite Xiliang cavalry would still be killed.

It's not a small loss, and once you are entangled by the flying cavalry, it means that you will face more chasing soldiers.

Especially when the flying cavalry retreated, it was very organized, so that he could not think of pursuing it.

After the battle just now, Ma Chao had less than a thousand cavalry. As for the soldiers who followed him from the city, they were all lost. There were two thousand Xiliang cavalry when they came. Ma Chao also had strong confidence in defending Xia Bian.

, I didn’t expect to lose Xia Bian so quickly.

As a result, the situation was even more unfavorable for Ma Teng. Like Wudu, Ma Teng had not occupied Longxi for a long time and lacked sufficient influence in Longxi. With only the five thousand troops in Longxi, Ma Chao did not have much chance of winning.

Ma Chao was defeated in Wudu and rushed to Longxi with his cavalry in despair. Ma Teng, who was in Hanyang, was also under tremendous pressure. Han Sui sent 15,000 troops, plus 6,000 troops from Anding County.

In terms of numbers, they were even larger than the Chang'an Army.

Hanyang, as the foundation of Ma Teng, is definitely not comparable to Wudu. However, before Han Sui and Zhao Min led their troops into Hanyang, Ma Teng gathered the defenders from all over the county in Hebei County.

Only in one place can Ma Teng have the possibility of victory. Otherwise, if he wants to resist the enemy forces from both sides, the most likely situation is to be defeated one by one.

In the cities along the way, the soldiers and horses of Han Sui and Zhao Min will naturally not give up and will definitely arrange defenders, which can divide the enemy's strength to a certain extent.

Ma Teng has been on the battlefield for many years. When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, he was one of the princes, so his experience on the battlefield is naturally extremely rich.

Although there were many enemy troops outside the city, Ma Teng was confident enough to defend Ji County. If the enemy troops had difficulty breaking through Ji County and retreated, Ma Teng would naturally be able to retake the city occupied by both parties.

The aristocratic families in Hanyang supported Ma Teng. Otherwise, when Han Sui occupied Hanyang, Ma Teng would not have been able to take Hanyang back from Han Sui so quickly.
