Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 254 Tragic

Ma Chao's life was actually very smooth. His only setback may have been when he faced people like Lu Bu, but neither Lu Bu nor Zhang Liao nor Dian Wei could be regarded as enemies.

From the beginning, Lu Bu was more optimistic about Ma Chao, so he didn't intend to kill him. Although he was hostile, as an opponent, Ma Chao at that time was not qualified.

Before that, he fought against the Qiang people, and against the Hu people, all of which were popular all over the world. After he surrendered to Lu Bu, he followed up with Nanyang, and then he fought against the Jingzhou army, although he also suffered in water battles. It's a loss, but in general, the enemies Ma Chao encountered were not as good as his own.

It can't be said that he is weak. After arriving in Nanyang, Ma Chao learned a lot in the camp. Now he is doing well no matter whether he is arranging troops or facing the enemy for a decisive battle.

But it is precisely because of this that Ma Chao has never encountered real adversity.

What is adversity?

It is when you feel that everything is not going well, when everything is contrary to your expectations, it is adversity, and the attitude towards adversity is the time that determines a person's ultimate achievement.

What Ma Chao is facing now can be regarded as adversity. Cao Cao is different from any opponent he has encountered before. Even if he is beaten by Ma Chao three times in a row, Cao Cao is a person who is very good at facing adversity. He can adjust quickly. Your own state of mind is not influenced by emotions.

In the case of losing the first battle, he was able to quickly judge where Ma Chao's weaknesses were and make countermeasures. Even if he hid Cao Cao's things in Tibet not long ago, Ma Chao still felt very uncomfortable. The feeling of depression in his heart made him a little at a loss.

It is not difficult to fight smoothly within the scope of his ability, but when encountering problems beyond his ability, Ma Chao is now a little panicked.

The life and death of the soldiers of the three armies are on him, and the safety of Nanyang is on him. He must make a correct judgment when Cao Cao has already seized the opportunity, so as to save Duyang and even Nanyang.

Moreover, I also guessed that there would be an ambush on the way. Although the battle of Cao Ying was considered a success, Ma Chao was heartbroken by the casualties in the camp. Pros and cons are different, and there will be casualties in good times, but they will not be messed up because of this, and changes will occur in adversity.

It is still in the initial stage, and Ma Chao felt that it was difficult to make a decision. At least he could judge the situation. At this moment, Juan County has no need to continue to defend. Cao Jun was disturbed by him, and he couldn't pay attention to this side for a while, so it is time to withdraw the army. The best time to aid Duyang.

As for the ambush, although Ma Chao didn't know what the best way to do at the moment, he obviously didn't care too much about the ambush. After all, Cao Jun was like that. Half a beat slower.

After all, in my impression, the concept of Cao Jun's vulnerability has taken root in my heart. I didn't expect Cao Jun to have such an elite division.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's path to becoming an army is actually similar to that of the trapped camp. They are all composed of warriors from the selected army. They are not only brave and good at fighting, but also proficient in riding and fighting. They are also equipped with the strongest equipment.

Among other things, the two armors worn by the tiger and leopard cavalry are equally astonishing in defense. Although they may not be as good as the rhinoceros leather armor, it is not easy for ordinary swords and guns to break through the defense.

There is no continuous crossbow, but the Zhanmajian combined with the impact of the horse is equally astonishingly powerful.

The horses are also equipped with horse armor, which is rare in today's world. Even in Lu Bu's army, only the horses of the generals can wear armor. Such a cavalry, the power of charging alone is enough to break through most formations.

Ma Chao's contempt for Cao Jun's ambush cost him a great price, and the retreating army was almost cut in half.

"Trap into the camp, form an array to meet the enemy!" Ma Chao was riding on his horse. In the darkness, he could only vaguely see a cavalry rushing past, cutting the army into two sections, but he didn't see the specific situation clearly.

The regular army was already in chaos and couldn't handle it all at once. Ma Chao could only gather the trap camp that was easiest to assemble.

This decision is undoubtedly correct. At this time, it is really difficult to keep everything.

When the sinking camp formed quickly, new problems emerged.

The battlefield is not forbidden. The trapped camp can respond quickly with its strong military discipline, but ordinary troops do not have this ability. Seeing the gathering here, they will instinctively rush here, and Cao Jun seems to have seen an opportunity , wanting to use these ordinary sergeants to crush the trapped camp, so he didn't rush to attack the trapped camp immediately, but drove the defeated army to attack the enemy's camp.

Ma Chao naturally also saw this scene, and shouted sharply: "The rest of the soldiers, quickly retreat to the two wings and regroup!"

But at this time, the army was already in chaos, and the night was dark and the wind was high. Even if these soldiers heard the order, they would instinctively run this way first under the emotion of fear.

Seeing his own soldiers rushing towards this side, if he allowed the opponent to rush over like this, he would be in bad luck if he fell into the camp.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fire three arrows in a row!"

The trapped camp did not answer, but with the sound of the machine being pulled, the Nanyang army gathered here fell in pieces. The bloody breath and the death of Pao Ze finally made these defeated troops regain some sense. Of course, what really drove them Doing what Ma Chao said was still a threat of death.

Cao Chun saw that the enemy had broken the siege, but he didn't care. After choosing a direction, he suddenly swung his troops out, aiming directly at this seemingly unfriendly army. He naturally recognized the camp. It was this army that killed Cao Cao, cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe, and showing off his might in Ye County. It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't let the tiger and leopard cavalry take action at that time, which made Cao Chun feel a little bit bitter.

Today, everyone can finally have a real contest.

rumbling~

Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, the earth seemed unable to withstand the power of the galloping horses, and trembled uncontrollably. Ma Chao sat on the horse's back, vaguely able to see the enemy cavalry rushing towards this side under the moonlight , This time, he faced the tiger and leopard cavalry head-on, and the sense of oppression that came to his face reminded Ma Chao of the first time he faced the trapped camp.

This is obviously an elite team, and the number is more than that of the trapped camp.

But... If you want to defeat yourself just like this, then you are too underestimating the camp.

"The crossbow arrow shoots into the air!" In the dark, Ma Chao couldn't judge the distance between the two sides, so he could only rely on his feeling.

Following his order, the beating sound of the crossbow machine can be heard endlessly, one after another crossbow arrows burst out of the air, the screams of the horses in front and the screams of the soldiers can be heard endlessly.

Ma Chao guessed that the crossbow arrows in the crossbow box were shot empty, and shouted sharply: "Reject the horse formation!"

With a stern shout, the trapped camp quickly put the spear in front of him.

"Boom~"

"Pfft~"

"Boom~"

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and hit the protruding spear fiercely. The spear pierced through the horse, and some pierced through the tiger and leopard cavalry on the horse, but the huge impact However, many soldiers who were trapped in the camp were knocked into the air.

The rhinoceros armor obviously couldn't defend against this kind of heavy blow. Hearing the muffled groans, Ma Chao's heart was bleeding, but he knew that he couldn't mess up at this moment. Scalp kills.

The tiger and leopard cavalry's charge was finally blocked by the trapped camp, and no one knew how many people died.

However, the tiger and leopard riders who stopped were obviously not as brave as the trapped camp, and gradually fell into a disadvantage, and their casualties continued to increase.

Cao Chun instinctively wanted to withdraw his troops and reorganize the offensive, but Ma Chao would not give him this opportunity, and sternly shouted: "Change the crossbow box, shoot continuously!"

It is not difficult to replace the crossbow box, but the retreat of the tiger and leopard cavalry leaves behind the trapped camp.

In an instant, a large number of crossbow arrows flew out, and a large number of tiger and leopard cavalry were killed and routed. They quickly fled away. Under the night, Ma Chao did not dare to chase, but let the trapped camp continue to form a guard, and he quickly rode his horse. When they arrived at the disorderly army that had been gradually reorganized, after finding the deputy general, they shouted sharply: "Let the soldiers of all armies garrison where they are until dawn!"

At this time, it is not far from dawn, no matter how anxious you are, you can't march blindly, and you may be ambushed again.

"Here!" The deputy general agreed, not daring to neglect.

After Ma Chao arranged the rebellious army, he came back again. The sky had already turned pale, and he could gradually see his surroundings clearly.

There were war horses and corpses of Cao Jun everywhere, but there were also quite a few corpses of his own soldiers. Ma Chao was even more worried about the corpses trapped in the camp. The rhinoceros armor was easy to identify. This time, the casualties in the camp were not small.

Ma Chao asked people to bring all the corpses of the soldiers who were trapped in the camp, and he did not want these soldiers to be exposed to the wilderness.

"General, you can't bring it. We are going to rescue now. We didn't even bring the food and grass, but we brought these corpses. How can we rescue them quickly?"

"But..." Ma Chao looked at the corpses who had been with him day and night, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Come here, take off the armor and weapons of these soldiers!" The deputy general shouted.

"..." Ma Chao frowned and looked at the lieutenant general, but he was finally speechless. He knew it was correct, but he couldn't accept it emotionally.

"The general is the commander-in-chief of an army, and Nanyang's safety is at stake, so don't act on your will!" The deputy general said in a deep voice.

Ma Chao finally nodded silently.

It's just that in this battle, more than 300 soldiers were killed in the camp, and when the 9,000 soldiers brought out from Juan County regrouped, only 6,000 remained, while the corpses of tiger and leopard riders found on the battlefield were only 800 or so. .

The tiger and leopard riders are proud of being able to fight like this with the trapped camp, but in Ma Chao's view, they are still at a disadvantage. If it is daytime or if the terrain is changed, the tiger and leopard riders may not be able to get close to them.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, and if you change the battlefield, the tiger and leopard cavalry may not really rush into the camp. Many things happen as they happen, and they have no choice but to accept the reality and learn lessons.

However, what makes Ma Chao even more uncomfortable is the news brought by the broken soldiers who escaped from Duyang...
