The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun turned half of the sky red.
Huaili County, on the city tower.
Ma Tie was wearing armor, standing on the tower and looking into the distance, with a solemn expression on his handsome cheeks. Among the Ma brothers, Ma Chao was handsome and outstanding in martial arts. In the novel, he was called Jin Ma Chao. However, Ma Chao was not the only one.
He is handsome, and Ma Tie and Ma Xiu are not bad either. They are both talented people and will be idol-level figures in future generations.
Ma Tie suddenly spotted Wang Can's soldiers and was surprised.
Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops to Xinping County, but Wang Can's soldiers attacked Huaili County, which was very strange.
Therefore, Ma Tie's heart was full of worries.
He put his hands on the city wall, with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Just today, Wang Can's soldiers appeared outside the city and tried to sneak into the city. It was so unexpected. Although they were discovered by me, according to the information,
The soldiers sent back the news that there are more than 20,000 soldiers sent by Wang Can, which is difficult to deal with."
When the voice fell, Ma Tie let out a long sigh.
Next to him, a general held his fists and said, "It's all thanks to your master's wit to see through the trick today, otherwise it would be unthinkable."
Ma Tie smiled, with a proud smile still on his face.
Although Ma Tie was a little worried, he was very happy when he heard the compliment from the general. Ma Tie smiled and said: "Liang Jun, we don't have many troops. Do you think we can defeat Wang Can's 20,000 army?"
Liang Jun immediately said: "If the young master takes action, he will definitely defeat Wang Can's army."
After a pause, Liang Jun continued: "The eldest son is well-known in Xiliang, and he is already very valued by the lord. Now he finally has the opportunity to lead an army. As long as he can defeat the 20,000 troops outside the city, he can
Make your name famous in Xiliang. When the time comes, even the lord will look at you differently and rely on you."
Hearing this, Ma Tie's eyes suddenly burst into light.
Although Ma Teng's family is very united in dealing with their enemies, and Ma Teng's sons have a good relationship on the surface. However, when it comes to the issue of who will inherit Ma Teng's legacy a hundred years later, Ma Tie also has other ideas in his mind.
Liang Jun was even more excited when he saw Ma Tie being moved.
This Liang Jun has always been a partial general under Ma Teng, and his ability is passable.
However, Liang Jun was very thoughtful. He once wanted to join Ma Chao and become Ma Chao's subordinate. However, Ma Chao had an arrogant temperament and only paid attention to famous people. He dismissed the unknown Liang Jun. Therefore, Liang Jun only
He defected to Ma Tie and became Ma Tie's confidant. Now he and Ma Tie are stationed in Huaili County.
Liang Jun was ambitious and always wanted to climb up. Naturally, he hoped that Ma Tie would be more trusted by Ma Teng. Only in this way can the two armies continue to rise and become powerful masters.
Ma Teng didn't have a clear successor, so his son must have some ideas.
Such is the struggle for power.
After listening to Liang Jun's words, Ma Tie felt excited for a while.
After a while, Ma Tie died down again. He said worriedly: "Liang Jun, my father recruited 60,000 troops from Huaili. There is a shortage of soldiers in the city. We only have soldiers guarding the city and cannot take the initiative to attack. There are 20,000 troops outside the city.
The enemy's strength is vastly different. The gap is too big. It is almost impossible for us to win!"
Even though Ma Tie is passionate, reality and thoughts are obviously not on the same line.
Liang Jun wanted to encourage Ma Tie to fight for power, and he would not open his eyes and watch Ma Tie become discouraged.
Liang Jun said in a deep voice: "Sir, we haven't tried it yet, so how do we know it won't work? No matter what, we have to find a way to try it. What if it succeeds? My lord got the news that the master defeated Wang Can's 20,000-strong army.
, how happy it will be! By then, the young master will be able to stand out."
Ma Tie looked at Liang Jun, nodded, and asked, "Liang Jun, what can you do?"
Liang Jun hadn't considered this issue yet. He just kept encouraging Ma Tie and letting Ma Tie fight for his rights.
Seeing Ma Tie asking, Liang Jun rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a way, saying: "Sir, isn't our Huaili County close to the Wei River? There are many rivers around, we can attack with water!"
Ma Tie asked again: "How to attack with water?"
Liang Jun returned and said: "If you want to attack with water, you must first lure Wang Can's army to pursue it. When you reach a certain position, then flood the army, and you will definitely win in one battle. We don't have enough troops. If we fight Wang Can's army head-on,
, it is definitely impossible to win. But we can use fire attacks, water attacks and other methods to defeat more than 20,000 soldiers."
When Ma Tie heard this, he shouted "Hello".
Immediately, Ma Tie said: "Liang Jun, you are really my right-hand man. With you making suggestions, I have nothing to worry about."
Liang Jun said excitedly: "Young Master has shown me the kindness of knowing you, and I will do my best to live up to Young Master's high expectations."
Ma Tie snorted and said: "We are stationed in the city, and we will definitely not be able to complete the task of luring Wang Can's army. Therefore, we must first send soldiers to choose where to release water and where to lure Wang Can's army. We can only complete it step by step.
Only then can we defeat Wang Can's 20,000-strong army in one fell swoop. Although it is difficult, it is feasible."
Ma Tie and Liang Jun made a plan together.
However, the two of them did not know that Lu Meng and Fazheng had already made a plan to deal with Huaili County.
Ma Tie's plans, just thought of, may have been aborted and unable to be implemented. However, with such ambition, Ma Tie also gained the confidence to resist Lü Meng.
At this time, Ma Tie was undoubtedly very ambitious and wanted to make great achievements.
Time gradually passed by, and the setting sun on the horizon also sank.
On the city tower, torches were lit at some point. The soldiers looked serious and were patrolling carefully. Because of the daytime incident, the soldiers on the city tower were very vigilant, fearing that Lu Meng would lead his troops to attack the city overnight. Ma Tie had already gone to rest.
, and Liang Jun is still patrolling on the city tower. He is one of the generals guarding the city, so naturally he cannot be as relaxed as Ma Tie.
The bright moon rises into the sky and illuminates the dark night.
Lu Meng, Huang Xu and Dianman led the army and set off to kill the county seat of Huaili County.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Under the silent night sky, the rumble of war drums sounded continuously, breaking the silence of the night. At the same time, the sound of horns also came, spreading into the county town one after another.
The sound of powerful war drums and passionate horn sounds came and went.
The huge sound resounded throughout the sky and the earth, causing all the birds living around to frighten and spread their wings and fly away far away, not daring to stay here.
Twenty thousand troops quickly approached the county seat.
On the city tower, the patrolling soldiers heard the sound of war drums and horns and immediately stood ready.
Ma Tie also put on his armor and walked out with weapons in hand. He stood on the city tower and saw Liang Jun setting up fortifications, and nodded secretly. There were enough defensive equipment on the city tower, and the city of Huaili County was strong.
He was able to block Lu Meng's attack, so Ma Tie was not afraid.
As long as he can block the attack, he has a chance to defeat Lu Meng.
At this time, all the people on the city tower were staring outside the city, attracted by the large battle array set up by Lu Meng. They looked in the direction of Lu Meng, but did not notice the figures running quickly on both sides of the county town.
These figures are soldiers from the Langya Battalion.
They did not rush towards the city tower head-on, but Lu Meng led the troops to attract Ma Tie's attention. With someone covering them, the soldiers of Langya Camp could easily advance from the hidden places on both sides of the city tower. Zhang Hu and Liu Yang led dozens of
The soldiers of Langya Camp ran quickly and arrived at the gate tower in no time.
They pressed their bodies against the city wall and gradually approached the city gate.
Lu Meng rode on his horse and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Hu, Liu Yang and others arriving safely.
He put up such a large lineup to make the people on the tower blind. Everyone looked outside the tower but did not pay attention to the movement below the tower, so that Zhang Hu and others could relax.
On the city tower, Ma Tie was filled with doubts.
He stared closely at Lü Meng and his 20,000 troops, waiting for Lü Meng to attack the city, but Lü Meng led his troops forty feet away from the city tower, but did not move. Ma Tie looked at Liang Jun and asked, "Liang Jun, Lü Meng leads
What kind of trick is this when the soldiers are coming but they are not allowed to attack the city? Is it a bluff or is it intentional?"
Liang Jun also looked confused and shook his head to express his confusion.
The two of them were full of doubts, as were the soldiers on the tower.
However, no soldier lowered his head to pay attention to the situation under the city tower. When they were full of doubts, the soldiers from Langya Battalion had already arrived at the city gate.
