Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 538 The back road was cut off, Ma Teng surrendered



The more than 1000 soldiers in Longle City surrendered without any resistance at all.

There are more than 1 people in the family. There is no need to siege the city wall to attack the city. The gate is directly cut open.

Zhang Liao looked at a lieutenant beside him and said, "Liu Dan, you lead a thousand Xuanjia troops to garrison here, and let these soldiers reinforce the city gate."

"promise!"

It took Lv Bu's army half a month to capture the two counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan.

Lu Bu personally led an army of [-] troops and stationed in Biaoshi City on the west bank of Ruoshui.

At the same time, troops were sent to guard the pass, and the people of Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties were strictly prohibited from entering Zhangye County.

However, the news of Lu Bu's arrival in Liangzhou spread to Wuwei City.

"Your Majesty, the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang have been captured by Lu Bu's army. At present, Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao is leading an army to attack Zhangye's vassal state."

Ma Teng was terrified, how could Lu Bu run behind them.

Could it be that he came from Bingzhou?

This is too far around.

Ma Teng quickly summoned his subordinates and generals to discuss countermeasures.

Although the blizzard in Wuwei, Jincheng, and Zhangye counties has stopped, the roads are impassable. I am afraid this is the reason why Lu Bu did not attack Zhangye County.

If there hadn't been this snow, I'm afraid Lu Bu would have been in the dark when he hit Wuwei City.

Fa Yan said: "Your Majesty, Lv Bu's army detoured to attack the back of Liangzhou. They will definitely not be able to transport food and grass. They are aiming at a quick battle, and Liangzhou is closed by snowstorms. generation."

Ma Teng looked depressed, who should be sent?

Only the three Ma brothers, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Xiu, were able to fight well under him, and the rest were too useless.

Lu Bu's bravery, even if Ma Chao was here, he couldn't resist it.

"But none of us can resist Lu Bu."

Fa Yan said: "We don't need to resist Lu Bu, we only need to block the main road leading to Zhangye County. Lv Bu's army lacks food and grass, and it will not take long for the army to lose morale, and the entire army may even be wiped out."

Most of the counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan are not suitable for planting plants. As long as there is a problem with their food and grass, they will surely die.

However, what Fa Yan didn't expect was that Lu Bu left an army of [-] to attack the countries in the Western Regions, and the food he got from Xiahou Dun would last until the beginning of spring.

Ma Teng looked at Ma Kang and said, "Kang'er, you led an army of [-] and blocked all the main roads in Zhangye County. You must not let Lu Bu come in with one soldier."

"promise!"

In Hanzhong City, Cao Shuo had nothing to do, so Mo Zhicai called over and asked, "Is there any news about Lu Bu's army?"

"no!"

Cao Shuo was very depressed, where did this guy go?
Seeing that the heavy snow is about to melt, Ma Teng is about to start attacking. If Lu Bu is not in position, when will this battle be fought.

Xi Zhicai suggested: "Why don't we mobilize another army from Bingzhou to look for it?"

"Forget it, don't wait for Lu Bu, prepare to let the soldiers cross the river!"

Cao Shuo asked Huang Zhong, Yan Xing, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals to lead [-] Xuanjia troops each to take a ferry and forcefully cross the Yellow River directly at night.

With the defensive strength of the Xuanjia Army, they forcibly tore through four openings and broke through the blockade along the Yellow River.

Ma Chao, who was stationed in Jincheng, panicked when he heard that the defense of the Yellow River had been breached.

Unexpectedly, before the heavy snow melted, Cao Shuo began to attack.

However, the Xuanjia army who forcibly crossed the Yellow River lost nearly half of its troops. Ma Chao dug many traps on the bank of the Yellow River, making it difficult for Cao Shuo's cavalry to move forward.

It took Cao Shuo more than half a month to clear all the traps on the west bank of the Yellow River.

Hundreds of thousands of troops broke through the natural barrier of the Yellow River, which made Ma Teng panic.

"Report!"

"Cao Shuo's army has passed Gulang City, less than two hundred miles away from Guzang."

"Report, Cao Shuo's army has occupied Lingju County and cut off our connection with the Major General."

"Report, Cao Shuo's [-] troops besieged Jincheng, and the Major General and Mr. Fazheng were besieged in Jincheng."

A series of battle reports gave Ma Teng a headache.

He is now powerless to resist Cao Shuo.

Compared with Cao Shuo's hundreds of thousands of troops, his tens of thousands of troops are like ants.

It was even more difficult for Ma Chao to break out of the encirclement. No one around him could resist Huang Zhong and Yan Xing.

Once the opponent's siege equipment is in place, Huang Zhong's army will probably arrive at Guzang City within a day.

"Military Master, what should we do?" Ma Teng looked at Fa Yan begging for help.

Fa Yan smiled wryly, unable to return to heaven.

They are not superior in any way.

"Your Majesty, why don't we surrender, so as not to sacrifice more soldiers and leave their families helpless."

Ma Teng sighed, is he really going to surrender?
Ma Teng thought about it all night, but he still didn't decide whether to surrender or not.

He still has a way out, and that is to enter the Qiang land, then go to the Western Regions, occupy the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and continue to deal with Cao Shuo.

The next morning, before Ma Teng got up, he was woken up by the guards.

"Report!"

"Lu Bu's army suddenly appeared at the gate of Guzang City!"

"what? "

Ma Teng sat up abruptly, feeling sleepless in an instant.

Lu Bu actually hit the city.

How he passed the pass in Zhangye County.

Could it be that Ma Kang has been defeated by him, but why didn't the broken soldiers escape back.

A series of questions emerged in Ma Teng's mind.

He dragged his tired body to the top of the city wall, and when he saw the heroic Lu Bu outside the city, all his illusions were shattered.

Lu Bu's army was no less than 2.

And all of them are Xuanjia Army.

"Kasong surrenders!"

Ma Teng didn't want to resist any more, every quarter of an hour of resistance would put his soldiers' lives in danger.

"Hahaha, brother Shoucheng understands righteousness deeply, and I will definitely speak a few words of kindness for you in front of His Majesty."

Ma Teng said with a depressed face, "Thank you, General Lu."

The news that Ma Teng led his subordinates to surrender soon spread to Cao Shuo's camp.

When he received the news that Lv Bu had suddenly appeared in Guzang, he was overjoyed. At least there was no problem.

Otherwise, how would he explain to Wen'er.

He died at a young age, who will take care of his son in the future.

"Xu Chu, go to Jincheng to persuade him to surrender, and say that Ma Teng has surrendered, and tell the soldiers in the city to give up resistance, otherwise they will be shot."

Xu Chu was ordered to come to Jincheng, and shouted to Ma Chao on the city wall: "Ma'er, your father has already surrendered, open the city quickly, otherwise, there will be no soldiers left in the city."

Ma Chao said angrily, "Xu Chu, don't bully me too much, dare to fight me to the death."

Xu Chu sneered and said, "How do you want to die!"

Regardless of Fazheng's dissuasion, Ma Chao rode out of the city alone on his horse.

"If you win, my life is yours. If I win, you withdraw from Xiliang."

Xu Chu said: "Whether we win or lose, our army will not retreat."
