    Chapter 150 "Wei Yan Ma Dai's Meritorious Service"

    Ma Dai¡¯s purpose was to prevent Lu Qian¡¯s 5,000-strong army from entering the city. Now that he saw that his purpose of blocking the enemy¡¯s advance had been achieved, of course he would not fight to the death against Cao¡¯s army and foolishly charge into their formation.  *1 (1) While he ordered the one hundred cavalry guarding the grain and grass to escort the migrant workers and prisoners to retreat to the west, he was also dealing with Lu Qian's troops: they were waiting for the best time to attack next time.  []

    Seeing Ma Dai leading his army to follow them not far away, Lu Qian's heart began to bleed. He really couldn't think of any good way to deal with the current situation: should we advance towards Long County?  The opponent will definitely charge at the rear of his team, further damaging the morale of the soldiers; will he continue to pursue the opponent?  They are cavalry and can run away in a flash, and even if they are determined to chase them, they can't chase them too far, because they have no food and grass, and they can only hold on for a day or two with what the soldiers carry and their hungry stomachs.

    The hesitant Lu Qian had to stop the troops after commanding them to advance for a mile or two.  They rested together for a few hours, and then Lu Qian asked more than a thousand selected elite infantry and a hundred cavalry to break up the rear, while he led nearly 4,000 troops to turn around and advance towards Long County.

    When Lu Qian¡¯s army was resting, Ma Dai¡¯s cavalry was also resting one mile away.  Now when they saw Lu Qian trying to escape from his shell, they waited patiently for about an hour and then rushed over after Lu Qian's army had walked a few miles. Ma Dai wanted to eat more than a thousand people who had been cut off!

    Cao Jun¡¯s 100 cavalry had no choice but to fight bravely, and the 1,000 selected infantrymen also rushed forward with enthusiasm - and the fierce battle began.

    Although Ma Dai¡¯s cavalry only had less than 800 men, their strength was not weaker than Cao Jun¡¯s more than 1,000 cavalry.  Their eight hundred cavalry were still lined up as a whole, like a sharp knife thrust into the opponent's formation, roaring in with Ma Dai as the tip of the knife.

    I saw Ma Dai's big sword flying up and down, bringing up bursts of blood mist, it was really invincible, and the cavalry behind him followed Ma Dai's example and slashed hard, without mercy.

    "Kill Cao Jun's traitors!"

    "Avenge your family!"

    "Kill them!"

    "Surrender without killing!"

    ¡­¡­

    When Ma Dai and others entered Cao Jun's formation circle, Cao Jun's formation quickly became out of shape.  Especially the archers in the circle were so frightened that they threw away their bows and arrows.  Turn around and run away.  The escape of the archers not only affected the morale of Cao's army after Duanhou, but also dispersed some formations that were still trying to support themselves.  Except for the one hundred cavalry and a few soldiers who struggled to block it, most of the soldiers either chased Lu Qian's army or fled in all directions. The organized resistance disappeared not long after the battle, and there were only a few scattered fleeing people left on the entire battlefield.  Dai cavalry is in pursuit.  When Lu Qian received the emergency report and the whole army turned around to rescue them, Ma Dai and others took the prisoners and retreated three miles away, continuing to monitor them.

    Lu Qian, who was at a loss what to do, saw that it was already getting late.  He had no choice but to order the troops to camp on the spot.  He thought to himself: Let the soldiers with low morale rest for a night, and then move the whole group step by step tomorrow. Although the speed will be slower, at least it will be much safer.

    Maybe it was because the density of Cao's army was too high, or maybe Ma Dai's cavalry also needed a rest. They only sent a few cavalry sentries to monitor that night, while the large army retreated to camp ten miles away from Lu Qian's army to rest.

    Early the next morning, the well-fed and drunk Ma Dai army appeared again in the sight of Lu Qian's army.  They were running back and forth one mile away from Cao's army.  From time to time, he would run over and laugh a few words, and then run away quickly.  Lu Qian was helpless, and the few remaining detective horses did not dare to run far, so they just swam around the large army and moved with it.

    Although Lu Qian was upset, he saw that Ma Dai no longer rushed into the team to kill.  I feel relieved a lot: I just move over here and eat the horses if there is no food and grass. It is better than being killed by you.

    Little did they know that at this time, Wei Yan's light infantry, which had been following Ma Dai's cavalry, had also appeared between Cao Jun and Longxian City. Just as Lu Qian slowly moved, five thousand Yizhou soldiers were already positioned there.  The formation was waiting for the more than 4,000 Cao troops to fall into the trap.

    Although Du Xi, the garrison of Long County City, received the report of the detective, how could Du Xi dare to send troops to meet Lu Qian and the others?  Although there were 5,000 defenders, it was not easy to drive away Wei Yan's 5,000 light infantry and allow Lu Qian's 4,000 men to enter the city.  There is only half a day's journey between Zhao Yun's large army and Wei Yan's army. It is not in Zhao Yun's wish to leave the city at this time. Is it possible that by then even his own retreat will be cut off?

    Du Xi thought it was useless to blame Lu Qian's army.  Not even nine hundred cavalry could deal with it.  While closing the four doors tightly and urging the soldiers to prepare more materials to defend the city, the next move was to ask for help from all the own troops behind them.

    When Lu Qian¡¯s army moved hungry,?noon.  When he was excited to see the outline of Longxian City in the distance, the sharp-eyed Cao Jun immediately discovered something unusual:

    "Report! Wei Yan is blocking our army five miles ahead!"

    "Ah! Who?"

    "Liu Jia's Five Tiger General Wei Yan!"

    "How many troops are there?"

    "Five thousand!"

    "Seeing Wei Yan blocking us, didn't Du Xi come out to respond?"

    "No! The city gates are all tightly closed, but the number of defenders on the city wall has increased a lot."

    Tan Ma¡¯s few words almost knocked Lu Qian to the back of the horse, and he didn¡¯t come back to his senses for a long time.

    Lu Qian's first words after coming back to his senses were: "Du Xi, you bastard, you dare not save me. I'm not done with you!"

    A young general asked in a low voice: "General, what should we do now?"

    "What should we do? Rush! Just a few of them rush over. I want to see the Prime Minister and sue Du Xi, this guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is a bastard. Doesn't he know that we are here to save him? No.  We, with his five thousand troops, can we defend this broken city of Long County? Huh! Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

    Lu Qian is still angry.

    "But, General Du Du Xi doesn't dare to send troops out" A young general may have a hard conscience.  He argued quietly for Du Xi.

    "Bah!"

    Lu Qian suddenly cheered up, slapped the general hard, and said loudly, "As smart as you are, don't you, the general, know? You lead a thousand soldiers to lead the charge for me."

    Designating the unlucky guy to charge first, Lu Qian pointed at the officers around him and said: "You, you, and you. Lead two thousand soldiers to charge closely behind him. I, the general, led the remaining soldiers.  Behind you. If anyone doesn't rush me hard and wants to play some tricks, I will be the first to chop him down."

    "yes!"

    "yes¡­¡­"

    "The general will obey your orders"

    Lu Qian did not blame these people for their uneven and depressed voices, and they looked like a defeated army.  He shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, what should we do now that we are blocked in front of us and pursued by soldiers behind us? The only way is to rush! Yes. Only by rushing desperately can we have hope of survival.  ! The one in front of us is Long County. As long as we rush over these few miles, we can enter Long County to rest and return to Xuchang to reunite with our families. If we are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not rush, then we will either die or be captured by the enemy.  Buried alive, would you rather be born and enjoy glory and wealth or would you rather die in this poor and remote place?"

    When Lu Qian said this, he listened carefully to the soldiers' reactions.  But he didn't hear what he hoped for.  Even the few guards around him were not inspired by Lu Qian's words, and just looked at him with a pair of dull eyes.

    Although Lu Qian felt uncomfortable in his heart, he continued to encourage loudly: "Come out, I, the general, will ask the Prime Minister to take credit for you, so that you can drink a big bowl of wine and eat a big mouthful of meat. But . But who will not be defeated by the general?  If you charge forward, I will chop him down immediately! Do you hear me?"

    Still silent, Lu Qian was so angry that his veins popped out. He shouted angrily: "Answer this general, whoever refuses to advance in fear of the enemy will be killed! Do you hear me?"

    "I heard¡­¡­"

    "listen¡­¡­"

    Although the answer was still not loud, it was still better than before.  Lu Qian waved his sword and shouted: "Charge!"

    The generals and soldiers close to Lu Qian also shouted:

    "kill¡ª¡ª!"

    "rush¡ª¡ª!"

    Lu Qian's words were somewhat effective. At least these tired soldiers began to feel a little more alive.  Under the urging of the supervising troops, they began to run forward.  Although there is no murderous aura that is common on the battlefield, the scene when thousands of people are running is still very spectacular.  The earth also felt slightly trembling.

    at this time.  Wei Yan rode his horse and stood in front of the team, looking with disdain at the Cao army rushing over in disorder.  Watch them run slower and slower.  He couldn't help but feel sad for this kind of opponent.

    Seeing Cao Jun slowly approaching, the energetic Wei Yan suddenly raised the sword in his hand.

    But he just held it up like this and couldn't put it down for a long time. He was like a statue. If it weren't for the horse under his crotch that was scratching the ground excitedly and uneasily, it would be difficult for people in the distance to see that he was a statue.  A living person, a passionate living person.

    "Closer, closer, closer! Haven't you fuckers eaten yet?" Wei Yan thought silently in his mind, urging Cao Jun like Cao Jun going to the market, but he really guessed it right. Many Cao Jun were still there in the morning.I was not full, and I was already a little hungry after walking all this way.

    Just when the enemy and the soldiers behind him were wondering why Wei Yan had not raised his sword, Wei Yan suddenly pressed down quickly with the sword in his hand, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

    "Whizzing!"¡­¡­

    With the sound of intensive arrow shooting, the sky immediately changed color. The sky that was clear just now turned gray, and the speeding arrows covered the space above their heads.

    "ah!"

    "Help!"

    ¡­¡­

    Cao Jun, who was hit by an arrow, shouted loudly.  Seeing the blood, Cao Jun's speed increased instead of slowing down. Perhaps the blood intensified their animal nature, or maybe the supervising officer began to kill them mercilessly. Cao Jun was afraid of the former. Cao Jun shouted loudly and rushed forward regardless, although the speed was still not very fast.  But it also showed a tenacious momentum.

    Cao Jun was getting closer and closer, and the archers in Cao Jun's team also began to fight back.

    At this time, Wei Yan raised his sword again and shouted loudly: "Charge!"

    "kill!"

    Five thousand Yizhou soldiers roared at the same time, and the effect was naturally different from Cao Jun's sparse shouting.  Then the ground began to tremble - the soldiers followed Wei Yan into Cao's army.

    At this time, Ma Dai, who had been following Lu Qian, also shouted: "Brothers, the time for revenge has come, kill!"

    Wei Yan's army swept across in front, and Ma Dai's cavalry crossed behind. Cao Jun resisted in panic.

    Melees occurred everywhere in Cao¡¯s army.

    Lu Qian wielded his sword, slapped his horse and slashed at Ma Dai, but within twenty minutes of the fight, he was panting like an ox with stars in his head.  I had no choice but to pat the horse and avoid it.

    With Lu Qian's retreat, Cao Jun became increasingly disadvantaged.  At first, some soldiers surrendered despite the scoldings of the officers supervising the battle. Some soldiers turned around and killed those who were supervising the battle. Some soldiers who were chased by Yizhou soldiers even dropped their weapons and surrendered.

    Lu Qian immediately understood that the situation was over now. Thinking that his entire army was about to be annihilated, Lu Qian quietly said to his guards: "Follow me and kill over there!"

    The commander-in-chief actually ran away at the most critical moment of the battle!

    However, only a few people knew when Lu Qian started to run away. These people also followed Lu Qian tacitly and ran towards the path next to him, so the melee continued.

    But as Wei Yan's army and Ma Dai's cavalry became more and more lethal, Cao's army without a general to command it suddenly became leaderless.  Turned into a swarm of headless flies.  The generals and soldiers who were resisting began to look for their general Lu Qian strangely, and several soldiers who were close to Lu Qian and noticed the clues began to shout unconvinced:

    "Lu Qian ran away!"

    "Lu Qian left us and escaped."

    "I am Lu Qian's mother!"

    ¡­¡­

    Although the voices of these desperate soldiers were not as loud as the killing sounds of Wei Yan and Ma Dai, their impact on Cao Jun cannot be underestimated. The morale of the troops dropped to a freezing point.  The soldiers who came into contact with the enemy immediately knelt down and surrendered, while the soldiers who were temporarily in the team looked for Lu Qian with hesitation at first. After looking for a long time without finding any trace of him, they surrendered with curses.

    Now what they hate in their hearts is not their current enemy, but their own general Lu Qian.

    The battle ended less than an hour after Wei Yan and Ma Dai entered the battle together.  Except for Lu Qian who took away more than 300 people, the others were either killed or surrendered.  Wei Yan and others actually captured more than 3,200 prisoners.

    Wei Yan and Ma Dai, who were fighting in two directions, happily reunited.  The two discussed it for a while.  Two thousand light infantry were left to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners. The two of them immediately led other soldiers to turn around and pursue Lu Qian's escape path towards Long County.

    The panting Lu Qian and others saw that they were getting further and further away from the battlefield, and the Yizhou soldiers' shouts of killing became smaller and smaller in their ears. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and their footsteps of escape slowly slowed down.  Lu Qian even allowed the horse under his crotch to move freely.

    Looking at the eyes of his subordinates, the awe and trust in their eyes have changed.  It turned into disdain and even contempt, and Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a trace of regret.  My heart was also a little panicked. This kind of panic was different from the panic caused by the fight with Ma Dai just now. Although both contained fear, the panic just now was the panic that I was about to be beheaded by the enemy, and now  The panic is caused by the fear that he will be executed for escaping from the battle, and that his family will also be executed for being implicated by him.

    Lu Qian¡¯s face suddenly turned pale when he thought that dozens of members of his family would be dead and dismembered due to his actions just now.

    He trembled and said to the people around him: "What should we do?What should we do?"??¡­you said¡­¡±

    No one paid attention to him at first, and these people all despised his cowardice even more.

    But because he still had the power to kill himself after all, several generals looked at each other.  Or come over and persuade him in a low voice:

    "General Lu. Now that things have come to this, we will exchange our merits for our crimes in Longxian City. Let us take advantage of our crimes and merit our merits, right?"

    ¡°¡­The Prime Minister may forgive us¡­¡±

    "Actually, it won't help if we stay there."

    ¡­¡­

    Just as they were moving forward slowly, the earth began to tremble slightly again, and a chilling air came from behind.  Everyone became nervous.

    At this time, a soldier rode over from behind the team, urging the horse to run quickly while shouting: "The Yizhou soldiers are chasing us!"

    When Lu Qian heard this, his spirits seemed to perk up, and his demeanor changed again. He said loudly and clearly: "Quick! Quick! Go to the city quickly! Drive¡ª¡ª!"

    The panicked little team began to run wildly again.  The soldiers dropped everything they could throw away and ran forward. Behind them were flags, weapons, clothes and armor

    When they finally ran to the west gate of Longxian City, they found that the gate was tightly closed. The soldiers on the city wall just held their weapons tightly and laughed at them as they took off their armor.

    Seeing the dust and smoke billowing behind him and the rapid sound of horse hooves, Lu Qian hurriedly shouted: "Open the door for the general!"

    Other soldiers also shouted in panic: "Open the door quickly!", "Let us in!", "Yizhou soldiers are coming!"

    But the city gates were still closed, and the soldiers on the walls still stood motionless.

    After a while, a small school on the city wall stretched out his head and shouted to Lu Qian below: "I'm sorry, General Lu! Now the west city gate has been blocked by a huge stone tree and cannot be opened for a while. General Du has an order,  The Yizhou bandits will arrive soon. For the safety of Long County, the west gate cannot be opened. I would like to ask General Lu and others to go around the east gate along the city wall. You can wait for a while and then seal the gate."

    Both Lu Qian and his soldiers naturally knew this truth, but they couldn't help but curse loudly. Seeing the Yizhou soldiers getting closer and closer, even Wei Yan and Ma Dai blurred the words on the flag.  It can be seen that they no longer cared about swearing, and hurriedly walked north along the city wall. They almost had to circle half of the city before turning to the east gate.

    There were dozens of soldiers who were so tired that they simply stopped running after running a few steps.  They sat down there, and a few of them went to meet the Yizhou soldiers. It seemed that they had surrendered on their own initiative.

    When Lu Qian finally turned to the east, he found that the east city gate was wide open, some people were running out of the city in panic, and several soldiers standing guard also looked listless.

    Lu Qian had no intention of paying attention to this. As he drove his horse into the city, he shouted loudly and continuously: "Close the door quickly, close the door quickly, the Yizhou soldiers are coming!"
