Chapter 78: The battle is fierce
readx; When everyone left, Ma Chao was also moved. What he said to Ma Dai and Gan Ning before was of course also to everyone, it was actually his true words. And Ma Chao really believed that the performance of his soldiers and Ma Dai and Gan Ning was actually directly related to him. To be honest, if it weren't for the failure of his side in the real world on the eve of the past, then he wouldn't be as low as he was in the siege of the city today, and he would be so powerless.
Ma Chao had a great headache for the war in Jiangling City. He really had no way to break the city. He had broken the city from the tunnel. This hope had long been shattered. Now, he could only let Ma Dai and Gan Ning and others attack like this day and day with their own soldiers. The war in Sili Hangu Pass was superior from their own side. It was gradually Cao Cao's turn to take advantage of Yanzhou Army, which had to make Ma Chao even more headache. There was also the war in Linxiang, where Sun Ce personally led 50,000 troops to reinforce, which was indeed...
With so many things, even if our own war is going in a bad direction, may Ma Chao not have a headache? He has a feeling that this war will really fail completely? He really doesn't want this, but I don't know what the truth will be.
-----------------------------------------------------
Huo Jun returned to the provincial governor's office and reported to his lord about the war today. Although Liu Bei had already known this, Huo Jun was the person involved, so he was still listening to his report carefully and sometimes nodding slightly.
After Huo Jun finished speaking, Liu Bei spoke, "Thank you for your hard work! Look at the Liangzhou army is in poor condition now. Is it because of the failure of the war on the eve? If so, how long can they last?" Liu Bei asked Huo Jun.
For him, although he had his own ideas, Huo Jun was the chief general who defended the city and had been dealing with the Liangzhou army for too long. So even if he had some places that didn't understand the Liangzhou army, Huo Jun would definitely know better than himself.
So when Liu Bei asked this question, for him, he needed to know more about the Liangzhou army now. However, in addition to what he guessed and thought, he certainly would not forget to ask his subordinates a few words. For example, the two strategists Xu Shu and Liu Ba, Huo Jun, the chief general of Jiangling City. For example, Taishi Ci, Wei Yan and others, and Liu Qi, were all the objects that Liu Bei wanted to inquire.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Lord, according to my subordinates, the Liangzhou army is like this today, and Ma Bozhan and Gan Xingba are not in the same state. It is indeed because of the war on the eve! But my subordinates think that if possible, the Liangzhou army will recover soon, and this should be fine!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Zhong Miao is the same as what I think. Yuan Zhi and Zichu also think so! It seems that they are really 'heroes' similar to each other', hahaha! I thought before that Zhong Miao should think so too, but now it seems that it is true!"
Huo Jun quickly said a few humble words. After all, he knew that in some aspects, how could he compare with the two of them? As for his lord, let alone, so he was humble. If it were to defend the city, then Huo Jun would definitely take the initiative and say who else was the one who could do it. But in other aspects, he was not good at this, so...
Liu Bei smiled at this and didn't say much. For him, he asked all the things he should ask, and said, and then he could do it. As for the others, it was not something he valued so much, it would be enough. Huo Jun can still be so humble now. To be honest, he was satisfied.
-----------------------------------------------------
One day later, the Liangzhou army continued to attack Jiangling City, but today is different from yesterday. Although the Liangzhou army is not as strong as before the beginning, it is indeed a little stronger than yesterday. This change is obvious and anyone can see it.
Although there was such a little progress, Ma Chao was somewhat satisfied. As for Huo Jun on the city wall, seeing that the Liangzhou army was at least progressing, it was not bad, even within the scope he could accept. After all, if there was no change in comparison, and even worse than yesterday's performance, then he would have nothing to say, he could only say regrets, and it was really disappointing.
But today is not bad. No matter what, it is actually good to make progress. This is what Huo Jun thinks at this moment. If others know that the city lord general of this army is extremely happy to see the enemy's progress, probably not many people can understand this. Of course, there are not many, but it does not mean that there are not. At least in the whole world, not only Huo Jun is obsessed with this city guard, but there are also a few, which is almost the same.
-----------------------------------------------------
But there are more people who are not satisfied, such as Ma Dai and Gan Ning, who were sieging the city with their men. Obviously, they are not satisfied with anything. But they can't do much now, so they can only use their own abilities to attack the city with all their strength. As for the soldiers on their own, it is really not possible for them to change them.
But the two of them also knew that before, just yesterday's war, my lord didn't say anything about them. So today I performed normally, so my lord wouldn't say anything about them. This is not because they have confidence in this, but because this fact is in front of me, my lord has never been an unreasonable person, right?
Therefore, Ma Dai and Gan Ning both knew that they would do their own things well. As for the consequences, no matter how bad they were, they would still be forced to retreat. This has not been done once or twice. They have been used to it for a long time. What else is there? There is nothing scary or anything to be afraid of. We have to wait for two more days, and the soldiers will probably recover. After all, they are not like the two of them, so that would be better.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Dai and Gan Ning did try their best, but even in the end they both went to the top of the city. But after a while, Huo Jun and the soldiers on the top of the city forced them to retreat. They performed well, but not many Liangzhou soldiers came to the top of the city, so how long could Ma Dai and Gan Ning support them? This was not hurt, even if it was good, the two of them had good martial arts skills.
Because they are very skilled in martial arts, they were surrounded by soldiers from the Han army and Jingzhou army on the top of the city, and they were unscathed when they retreated. Otherwise, if they were not very skilled in martial arts, they would definitely be injured if they were third-rate.
But Ma Dai and Gan Ning were not like this. If they rate themselves in today's war, they would give themselves more than seven points. For their own soldiers, they could give them six points, which would be good. They didn't know anything else. Speaking of Liangzhou soldiers today, they would just pass the qualifications, that's all. When Rema Dai and the others didn't quite understand what passing the qualifications were.
Another day of war ended. It was the end of Liangzhou Army's withdrawal of troops. Of course, they just didn't get any advantage.
-----------------------------------------------------
The soldiers of Liangzhou army followed their lord back to the camp, knowing that their lord had to say a few words today. However, judging from their lord's meaning, they didn't seem to be dissatisfied. Of course, it is not easy to tell what Ma Chao thought.
The intensity of the battles in Sili, Hangu Pass and Hangu Pass is not much worse than that in Jiangling. However, there is no real victory here. There is no such thing as Huo Jun. So over the years, it has been gradually becoming more and more difficult for the Liangzhou army. Wu Yi and the others didn't think they could not defend the pass. The main reason was that the Yanzhou army put pressure on themselves. It was indeed great. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be like this now.
When the Yanzhou army attacked again, Xiahou brothers and Le Jin led their troops. At Hangu Pass, the Liangzhou army was still Wu Yi, Huang Quan and Ma Han, who led their troops to defend the city. Peng Yi also wanted to go up to the Pass to see, which was true. However, none of the three Wu Yi and the others asked him to come here. So he also knew that his idea would not be possible for the time being.
-----------------------------------------------------
This time, the performance of the Yanzhou soldiers was indeed better than before. At least the Xiahou brothers and Le Jin and the other two went to Hangu Pass almost at the same time, which added a lot of pressure to Wu Yi and the others. After all, none of these three are easy to deal with!
I have to say that looking at the Yanzhou army like this, they are indeed becoming more and more dominant. But if you think about it, you can break the Hangu Pass. This is indeed basically impossible. But day after day, no one gave up from the Yanzhou army from top to bottom, no matter who it is.
They also knew that Hangu Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they knew how many soldiers there were at the Pass.
Wu Yi naturally knew the crisis he was facing at this time. He had not forgotten to shout: "Hurry up, brothers, kill! Repel the enemy and conquer Hangu Pass!"
"kill……"
Seeing that the generals on their side were fearless against the enemy generals and soldiers, the guards of the Liangzhou army at the pass were indeed quite infected. For them, today is different from before, so it is not only a test for the general, but also a test for everyone.
-----------------------------------------------------
Almost at the same time, Huang Quan and Ma Han were not idle, almost the same words as Wu Yi. They knew that if they could no longer mobilize the fighting spirit and morale of their soldiers at this time, they might be defeated miserably.
This is not something that cannot happen. Of course, in the current situation, even if the three of you fight to the death, they will definitely defend Hangu Pass today. But today may be able to pass, but what else can you do?
So the three of them did it intentionally, and the meaning was to let the soldiers on their side understand that even if there were more people and more generals coming up from the Yanzhou Army, they were not afraid of anything. Of course, they also hoped that repelling the Yanzhou Army today could give the soldiers an idea. At this level today, they could also repel them, so it would be the same in the future!
Therefore, the three of them couldn't help but shout that they would mobilize all the emotions of their soldiers, etc., and this would be more beneficial to them.
-----------------------------------------------------
The war at the front of the city was extremely fierce. After all, there were more soldiers from Yanzhou at this time than before. So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is tragic. But now, no matter how many soldiers from Yanzhou are coming up, it is still limited. It is indeed impossible to compare with the Liangzhou army at the front of the city.
Therefore, the soldiers who came up were dealt with by Liangzhou soldiers. However, most of them were still surrounding the Xiahou brothers and Le Jin. Therefore, Wu Yi and the other three were not good at martial arts, so the three of them were not stupid enough to rush forward. They all knew that if they were the same as fools, they would naturally not be like that.
Although the Xiahou brothers and Le Jin were not disdainful of Wu Yi and the other two, they were indeed not worthy of anything. Speaking of which, the three of them were almost there to guard the city and the gate.
Of course, it is not to say that Xiahou Dun and the others think they are much better than Wu Yi and the others, but the facts are right in front of them, they are indeed stronger than these three, right?
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao, who was watching the game, nodded secretly in his heart, but he was quite satisfied. (To be continued.) xh123
