Daling City seems to have a tighter defense than Pingtao City. Xu Rong learned from the previous lesson and hung the cowhide and other objects collected in the city on the city wall. Under the cover, the Pili chariot lost its previous function.
With such a powerful force under Pingtao City, the defenders could calmly deal with the siege of the Xiliang Army. The two sides went back and forth, and for a while it was hard to tell who was better.
"My lord, Xu Rong has learned from previous experience and made Daling quite strong. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to attack." Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Jia Rong shook his head and said nothing, "The enemy's morale has been completely defeated by our army in the Battle of Pingtao. The capture of Daling City is just a matter of time. After Daling is captured, facing Li Ru in Bingzhou is the only time."
The biggest enemy, the centipede insect, is dead but not dead. Although Li Ru has been running Bingzhou for a short time, he still has some background."
Jia Xu nodded in agreement, and the three armies were stationed in an open space not far from Daling City, which put great pressure on the defenders in the city. Xu Rong kept going to and from the city every day to calm the morale of the troops.
Since Duan Yan was attacked by Lu Bu last time and Ma Chao's army covered him up, the cavalry was even more tightly defended when they were resting. Army scouts were constantly wandering around the army for ten miles to guard against the Xiliang army's cavalry attack.
The background of the Xiliang Army was not as good as that of the Xiliang Army. Duan Yan did not want to see a fight between cavalry. He hoped to deal with the Xiliang Army on the battlefield and let his cavalry grow up quickly.
Ma Chao lost hundreds of cavalry and felt a little depressed. While mentioning the failure in his letter, he also naturally inquired about Duan Yan's movements with the intention of regaining his face. In his eyes, Duan Yan only had two thousand people in his hands.
There are only a few cavalrymen, but our side is the world-famous Xiliang Army. How can we be invincible? This is also a shortcoming of the generals of the Xiliang Army. Years of battles have given them glory that ordinary princes and generals cannot match, but often this kind of
The good feeling led them astray. A small mistake on the battlefield was followed by the death of the soldier.
But in a previous battle, Ma Chao's psychological advantage disappeared. It seemed that he had underestimated the princes of the world. However, he was young and vigorous, and of course he would not admit defeat. Even Lu Bu, who was so famous in the Xiliang Army,
A great general couldn't make him feel afraid, let alone the little-known Duan Xuan.
The scouts from both sides started fighting again. Hearing the number of scouts lost every day, Ma Chao's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. If this continues, there will be no need to fight. The Xiliang army has always won with less in battles. Never before.
There have been times when I felt so frustrated.
As if to make Ma Chao look even more ugly, after receiving reinforcements from Mu Da, Lu Bu and Ma Chao met together. However, the teams of both sides were unrelated to each other, and the resting areas were clearly separated.
Ma Chao looked at Lu Bu with a hint of understanding in his eyes. Faced with such an opponent, it was not easy to dare to use more than a hundred cavalry to attack the opponent's camp unprepared. Thinking of this, Ma Chao's expression towards Lu Bu also lost the arrogance before.
, he asked Lu Bu for advice on some questions, but Lu Bu still looked arrogant and ignored him. As a result, Ma Chao stopped talking to Lu Bu.
With soldiers in hand, Lu Bu's ambition was completely aroused, and he was defeated by Duan Xuan. If he said that he didn't have any anger in his heart, he would definitely be lying. As a general in the Xiliang army, he was a arrogant person.
"General!" Mu Da saluted on his horse.
Lu Bu nodded slightly, clasped his fists and replied: "General Muda, you have worked hard all the way!" Muda is an athlete on the grassland. Lu Bu did not dare to have the slightest contempt. In the series of battles on the grassland, without Muda's advice, Lu Bu would not have been able to do it.
Winning the victory so easily, Mu Da is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general, and he also has a great reputation on the grassland.
Seeing Mu Da's talent, Lu Bu used him more and more.
"General, I once heard on the road that I was in charge of Bingzhou and Duan Xuan, which caused the general repeated setbacks on the battlefield?" Mu Da asked.
Lu Bu has a great reputation on the grassland. He dares to kill hundreds of enemy cavalry on his own. Such a fierce man can command an army and has a great influence on the soldiers. The combat effectiveness of a lion leading a group of sheep is even greater than that of a sheep.
With a group of lions, Lu Bu on the grassland is the eagle in the sky. He is brave and good at fighting. Wherever he goes, he can attract the attention of the herdsmen on the grassland.
Lu Bu's face turned red, "I made a miscalculation and was plotted by Duan Yan'er!"
"Muda, this is General Ma Chao of the Xiliang Army?" Lu Bu introduced.
"Oh" Mu Da looked at Ma Chao with an undetectable stern look in his eyes, "I have seen General Ma!"
When Ma Chao saw that Muda was from Xianbei, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. The Xianbei people were just slaves of the Xiliang army, but Lu Bu introduced him so grandly, which clearly meant that he didn't value his performance.
"You're welcome!" Ma Chao said calmly.
Seeing Ma Chao being so rude to Mu Da, Lu Bu immediately became furious and cursed loudly: "Ma Chao, you are just a child with a yellow mouth. How dare you show off in front of me like this? Do you think that the halberd in my hand is not sharp?"
"
When the generals in the tent heard this, their expressions changed, and Lu Bu, who had been calm just now, suddenly cursed.
Ma Chao said without fear: "I have heard that General Lu Bu is brave enough to defeat the three armies, so I am very willing to ask for advice!"
The two people did not like each other overnight. One was Lu Bu, who was personally awarded by Jia Rong as the most powerful general of the Xiliang Army, and the other was Ma Chao, the emerging general of the Xiliang Army. When the two fought, the generals were looking forward to it, and many generals were looking forward to it.
He is a rising star in the army. In addition, most of Lu Bu's years on the grassland have never seen Lu Bu's majestic appearance on the battlefield. However, he is very optimistic about Ma Chao. His marksmanship is unfathomable. Ma Chao has a great reputation among the cavalry. Otherwise,
Jia Rong sent him to fight against Duan Xuan, and some generals in the army did not complain.
Lu Bu was really angry. In the Xiliang Army, he had always been the second in martial arts, but no one dared to say that he was the first. Ma Chao actually dared to provoke him in public.
He held the halberd tightly with both hands, but the veins were protruding from the force.
"Kill!" Lu Bu held the painted halberd in his hand, and his whole body seemed to be integrated with the painted halberd. He kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse galloped towards Ma Chao.
Anyone who speaks arrogantly is either extremely powerful or a fool. Being able to lead a general in the Xiliang army alone shows that Ma Chao is not a fool. When he fought against Xianbei, the young Ma Chao once shined.
Lu Bu was planning in his mind how to defeat Ma Chao as quickly as possible in order to demonstrate his reputation as the most brave general in the Xiliang Army. Ma Chao was also planning in his mind how to defeat Lu Bu and seize the title of the most powerful general in the army.
One halberd and one spear, every move was made with all one's strength.
A blush flashed across Ma Chao's slightly immature face. With this blow, he completely withstood the force from the painted halberd. The powerful strength made him unable to help but feel the surge of blood. However, for the sake of appearance, he overcame the discomfort in his body.
Pressed down on myself.
Lu Bu sneered, shook his halberd, and slashed at Ma Chao again. After the fight just now, he had already initially tested Ma Chao's strength. He was just a young boy who didn't know the heights of the world. When he made provocations, he must be ruthless in front of everyone.
It ruined his face, so that even if Jia Rong knew about it, he wouldn't blame him, because his skills were inferior to others.
The blow was so shocking that his blood surged. Ma Chao's eyes flashed with light, and he charged at Lu Bu again with his gun. Each move contained endless power, and he had the momentum to not give up until Lu Bu was knocked off his horse.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ma Chao actually had the upper hand for a while, but in fact it was not the case. His own family knew about his own affairs, and Ma Chao was at the end of his strength. His current actions were just to keep up his face. He only had to wait for three or five rounds before Ma Chao revealed his strength.
Insufficient defects.
Mu Da looked coldly at this Han general who dared to challenge Lu Bu. He had to admire this man's courage and martial arts. He had just provoked him casually, and he was also a little scared. If someone with an intention used this as an excuse, it would be passed on to Jia Rong.
In his ears, there might be some kind of bloody storm. For the sake of an insignificant Xianbei man, Jia Rong would never tolerate his generals fighting to the death, and it was such a meaningless fight to the death. Mu Da wanted to step forward and give him some advice.
, but thinking that the effect would be even worse, he stopped and stood still.
Fang Tian's painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand turned into a thorn and was slashed straight at Ma Chao's neck. If this blow had been successful, Ma Chao would have died. He was shocked. Ma Chao hurriedly fired his gun to resist. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's moves changed again and directly hit him.
Stab towards Ma Chao's face.
The tip of the halberd stopped more than an inch away from Ma Chao's face. Lu Bu said with a cold face: "But you have accepted it?"
"His skills are inferior to others!" Ma Chao lowered his eyes and sounded slightly frustrated.
Lu Bu put away his halberd and glared at Mu Da, "Let's go!" Two thousand cavalry left Ma Chao's team and ran towards the distant battlefield. In the dry weather, they brought up dust. After a while, there were only horse hoof prints on the road.
Where is the trace of Lu Bu and others?
"General, who is General Lu?" Mi Wei said.
"Inquire carefully about the movements of Duan You and others. You must not lose face in front of the army. Lu Bu is just a reckless man on the battlefield. There is nothing to worry about. As long as Duan You is eliminated, the great credit will be ours." Ma Chao said, just now because of
The dejected look on his face after defeat also disappeared. As a general, no matter in victory or defeat, he must remain calm. He suddenly thought of what Jia Rong once taught in the military class, and his mood calmed down.
Mi Wei clasped his fists and left, feeling somewhat disapproving of Ma Chao. He had been in the army longer than Ma Chao, and he knew Lu Bu's martial arts and bravery very well. In addition, Mi Huan had become Jia Rong's wife.
Wei Wei's status in the army is naturally rising, but Ma Chao acts like he is the best in the world, which will not be pleasant to anyone who sees him.
"Find Duan Xuan's location. If I don't destroy them, I won't be named Lu!" Lu Bu said with a livid face. Although Ma Chao's provocation was successful, he still felt a little unhappy. If this matter spreads, the Xiliang army's
The general would only say that he was bullying the smaller ones. In a battle with Ma Chao, regardless of victory or defeat, Lu Bu would suffer the greatest loss.
