Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 257: Confession

Cao Cao's battle against the strong attack on Duyang began the day after Wei Kai and Che Zhou left.

It's impossible not to attack. In this fight, Cao Cao also realized that Lu Bu's military strength was more terrifying than they imagined. This was only Nanyang, and he was only facing Ma Chao.

If there is an all-out war with Lu Bu, what will be the result?

Previously, the crusade against Lu Bu was just to divert Yuan Shao's attention to gain more time for himself, but now, Cao Cao has realized that Lu Bu's threat may be greater than Yuan Shao's.

It was precisely when he realized this that Cao Cao became more determined to break through Nanyang first. In any case, he could not let Lu Bu continue to develop in such a stable manner.

However, after this battle, Ma Chao has indeed matured a lot. Cao Cao besieged Duyang with ten times more troops, but Ma Chao was able to keep Duyang's defenses tight. The camp hurried back again.

This seemingly crumbling city, which seemed likely to be breached at any time, was forcibly under Cao Cao's strong attack regardless of the cost. After nearly a month of defense, even if a section of the city wall collapsed, Cao's army could not break in.

As the sun set on the western mountain, accompanied by the crisp sound of gold, Le Jin led his army back to Cao Cao unwillingly, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, it's only a little short. Give the general another half an hour, and he will surely be able to attack Duyang."

This was the third time. Ma Chao personally led troops to guard the gap in the city wall. This gap in the city wall was more like a trap that swallowed Cao Jun's life.

Behind that section of the city wall, there were countless corpses of Cao Jun and Nanyang Army piled up, it was as terrifying as Shura's Purgatory, but Le Jin could feel that the defenders had almost reached their limit.

Cao Cao shook his head: "Wen Qian, don't worry, the soldiers can't hold on anymore."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, and with the soldiers and horses transferred from various places later, he had already invested nearly 50,000 troops in the fight with Ma Chao. Now, although Duyang is in danger, the army brought by Cao Cao has only died in battle. It's already halfway through, and the injured... almost everyone is injured.

Many soldiers were slightly injured and continued to fight with their weapons. Now the morale has reached its limit. The army can collapse on its own.

If Wancheng also looked like this, Cao Cao really didn't know how to fight.

Of course, Ma Chao was able to defend a small city in Duyang to such an extent that he still defended it for three days even after the city wall collapsed, all because he had an army under his command. Without this team, Ma Chao might have been defeated long ago.

Le Jin looked around, sighed, bowed to Cao Cao, and went on to appease the troops.

On the other side, Duyang City, beside the collapsed city wall, the setting sun was blocked by the city wall, and a shadow appeared. Watching Cao Jun retreating slowly, Ma Chao sat down a little weakly, his dry lips were already cracked, and his originally bright eyes, At this moment, looking at the direction of Cao Jun in the distance is also a little absent-minded.

I kept it for another day, but I don't know how many more days I can keep it?

The lieutenant came in a hurry with blood stains all over his body. His face and robe were covered with blood. When he saw Ma Chao sitting there motionless, he was startled. "General, are you all right?"

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't move, the lieutenant general's complexion changed, and he stretched out his hand to talk to Ma Chao's nose. He didn't feel anything. His fingers were already wrapped in dried blood, so how could he feel anything? He retracted it, stuck it into his mouth, and sucked hard twice , and then extended towards Ma Chao's nose.

Ma Chao reached out, grabbed his hand, and slapped his hand away with disgust: "How many people are there?"

The lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Less than four thousand are alive."

"How many can fight?" Ma Chao doesn't care how many people are alive, the most important thing now is how many people can fight.

"Leave aside the trapped camp... there are still two thousand and five to fight." The deputy general said here, his voice was a little dry.

Two thousand and five can be fought. This is the same as Cao Cao, counting those who are not too seriously injured or who can still lift a knife.

As for being trapped in the camp... as long as you don't die, you are a fighter!

Ma Chao suddenly punched the city wall hard, and a large piece of rammed earth slid down.

"madman!"

Ma Chao cursed fiercely, Cao Cao didn't know what was going on, and he was fighting him to death. What kind of grudge did he have to fight him with such a look of being hurt by both sides? It wasn't me who killed his father.

"General, this Duyang... I'm afraid I won't be able to defend it for a few days." The deputy general sat beside Ma Chao and sighed.

Ma Chao didn't speak, and continued to look into the distance in a daze.

The deputy general said: "If the final general dies in battle, he still has his beloved wife and three-year-old child at home. I hope the general can..."

Ma Chao interrupted him before he finished speaking, and turned to look at the lieutenant general: "Old Deng, you are annoying. Why should I take care of your wife and son?"

The lieutenant was speechless for a while, watching Ma Chao and not speaking.

"You should take the trapped camp to break through tonight, and tell the general that Ma Chao is incompetent, and many brothers in the trapped camp died in battle, so I am ashamed of the general." Ma Chao fumbled for the spear in his hand: "If I have the opportunity to see my old father in the future, I will also help you." Please help me with a sentence... Forget it, if people can still meet after death, I can tell him myself."

I wanted to say too much, and I didn't know what to ask him to tell me for a while.

"General, the last..." The deputy general looked at Ma Chao, got up quickly and said, "The last general said, let the last general guard..."

"Listen to me!" Ma Chao pushed him back: "Actually, you are more capable than me. I remember that you are from Xinyeren, or a member of the Deng family. This Nanyang Deng family is also a hero who founded the country. How did you get here? Can't even fall into a poor family?"

"This has been passed down from generation to generation, so it has naturally become like this." The lieutenant smiled wryly, "Fortunately, the lord, regardless of his background, gave the last general the opportunity to serve as the general's lieutenant."

"You and I count, they are both descendants of famous generals." Ma Chao laughed and said, "Does your son have a name?"

"Fan." The lieutenant general looked at Ma Chao and sighed, "The general has no heirs yet. The last general thinks that the last general will cut off his heir..."

"Teach your son in the future. Let me tell you, don't hit me at every turn. The bigger you are, the more he will disobey you. Let me tell you, back then, my father hit me at every turn, without even asking why, which made me think I was It was picked up." Ma Chao interrupted him and said, "Go back, I died here, my father still has two sons, but if you die here, the children in the family will have no father, let me tell you, No matter what...that's better than not having a father, my father beat me and scolded me, but he was sincerely for me..."

Hearing Ma Chao rambling about his past with Ma Teng, the lieutenant felt a little uncomfortable. This was clearly explaining the funeral, and he frowned and said, "General, this time the city is broken, and the general is not to blame. The general has done his best. , save your life, why worry about not being able to make a comeback in the future?"

"If the general is defeated because of me, what will I look like when I come back?" The sun had already set, and Ma Chao looked at Cao Ying, who was gradually lighting up in the distance, shook his head and said, "Do you know why I was not afraid of the sky when I was young?" Not afraid of the earth? Anyone dare to fight?"

How could the lieutenant know this, maybe it was born?

"Because no one cares about me. My father is away all the year round. My mother died early. When my father came back, it was the two younger brothers who hurt me more. I was like an outsider. Although I later learned that my father also cared about me, but the method was different. It's the same, but at that time, the feeling of being abandoned by the world, I will never forget in this life, only the general is different, although he beats me and scolds me, but it is justified and convincing, he will teach I, I don't want my old man, he left without letting a fart go, and told me to reflect on it, reflect on the fart, I don't even know why he spanked me!"

Later, it became a complaint against his own father. After a long time, Ma Chao sighed: "The general allowed me to make many mistakes. If Duyang is lost and Nanyang falls, how can I have the face to see the general? You don't want to." Having said that, leave with a movable trap, that is the lifeline of the general, and I will continue to guard here...until the moment I fall!"

"General, in fact, the general has done well enough, so Cao Cao's vitality will be seriously injured even now." The deputy general looked at Ma Chao and said in a deep voice: "The last general is not a compliment, let alone the general's current age. , Looking around the world, how many people can do this?"

"My lord can do it." Ma Chao said subconsciously: "Back then at the Hulao Pass, my lord dared not raise his head when he relied on thousands of cavalry to fight against the 100,000 coalition troops."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao said with longing.

In this army, he was closest to Gao Shun, even though Gao Shun was very strict with him, but Lu Bu was the one he admired the most.

Lieutenant General: "..."

I really have no way to refute what you say, but how many Lu Bu are there in the world? Do you have to compare with the top one? Can I change it?

"It's a pity that I learned many things too late. If I could do it all over again, how could I be taught to push me into such an embarrassment with Cao Cao?" Ma Chao said fiercely.

The lieutenant general could only smile wryly when he heard the words. People, they gradually matured after suffering repeated losses. This is also the reason why he was willing to end Ma Chao's heir. As long as this child survives this time, the future can be expected!

It's a pity that war doesn't give people too many opportunities for trial and error. Sometimes, a single recklessness may ruin a good future, and for generals, ruining may be life!

"General, I've offended you!" Taking a deep breath, the lieutenant saluted Ma Chao, and then suddenly struck Ma Chao on the back of the neck with a palm knife.

"Crack~"

Ma Chao reached out to catch it and looked up at him.

Lieutenant General: "..."

The other hand came out again, and Ma Chao also grabbed it.

The air was suddenly awkwardly quiet.

"Boom~"

Ma Chao followed closely with a head hammer, knocking the lieutenant unconscious.

"Trapped in the camp, assemble!" Ma Chao got up with some effort, and shouted to the rear.

A group of soldiers trapped in the camp gathered silently and looked at Ma Chao.

"Everyone, I have been troubled by being with Ma Chao these days. Today, Chao gave the last order to take this man back to Wancheng. When I see the general in the future, Dai Chao will tell the general. I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future." Listen to the general's teachings, and the general doesn't have to be sullen because of me again, just leave it alone!" After finishing speaking, Ma Chao clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Let's go at night."

All the soldiers trapped in the camp looked at Ma Chao quietly, but no one moved.

"Still leaving!?" Ma Chao frowned.

"If you are trapped in the camp, you can only advance but not retreat. If the battle is not over, you will not retreat if you are trapped in the camp!" a team leader said in a deep voice.

"The camp only respects the military order. Now it's not a retreat. It's just for you to escort this person back to Wancheng. I'm temporarily in charge of the camp, but my military order, isn't it a military order!?" Ma Chao took out a gold order from his bosom, Sternly shouted: "Trap into the camp and listen to orders!"

All the soldiers lined up silently and saluted Ma Chao.

"Return this to the general for me!" Ma Chao handed Jin Ling to a team leader and said, "Take care."

"Take care, too, general!" The team leader silently saluted Ma Chao and asked the lieutenant to carry him on his back. After taking a deep look at Ma Chao, he turned and left.

Looking at their backs, Ma Chao felt a little sour in his heart. In this battle, in order to plug the gap, the 600 people lost nearly half of the 600 people in the past few days, and now there are only 300 people left. Tell the general...
