Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

After Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated to the main camp, they gathered the remaining soldiers and rested for a few days. On the fifth day, they suddenly broke camp, sent some people to transport all the baggage and food, and left 40,000 troops to attack the city. Among them, 30,000 were sent to besiege the west gate, and the remaining 10,000 were lined up in the rear to prevent harassment from Lu Bu's cavalry.

Han Sui, Ma Teng, and even Li Jue did not follow the baggage train, but stayed behind to supervise the army.

"Is he trying to make one last desperate move before withdrawing? Who gave him the courage?"

On the top of the city wall, Zhang Mo looked at the Liangzhou soldiers lined up outside the city with some surprise.

Although the 20,000 infantry formations were broken by their own people a few days ago, Han Sui should have a deep understanding of the lethality of the Bingzhou army and should not send more troops to make unnecessary sacrifices, right?

"Maybe he wants to try his luck?" said Lu Bu.

"How can there be any luck when we are on such guard?"

Lü Bu looked at Ma Teng and Han Sui in the center of the army from afar and said, "No matter what they think, since they are going to die, let them do it."

He was about to leave the tower when Zhang Mo stopped him, "Don't go today. They might be betting on you."

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, "With Li Jue as an insider, will everything be alright?"

"Who knows if he's sincere? Today's military action was unreasonable."

"Then I'll just watch from the outside and not kill the generals, don't worry!"

"You really don't want to go?"

"Really not!"

After making repeated assurances, Lu Bu turned around and walked down the city wall. Although he wanted to kill the two men, he also knew that his own safety was more important than anything else. He would no longer act like he did when he was young and ignore everything in his impulse.

He is no longer the young Lu Bu!

Today's siege was fierce from the start. The moat outside the west gate was dyed red with blood. Taishi Ci's Golden Eagle Guards attacked the follow-up troops of the Liangzhou Army in the rear, and Lu Bu attacked from the flanks. Although the Liangzhou Army had a large number of troops, they could not withstand the attack of the two Bingzhou cavalry units.

The iron-like defense on the city wall made it impossible for the attacking soldiers to take any action. By around 3:00 p.m., the fighting passion of the Liangzhou army had obviously dissipated a lot. Many soldiers in the rear began to flee, and the 10,000 soldiers who resisted the Bingzhou cavalry were killed and collapsed.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Han Sui quickly ordered a retreat. He and Ma Teng changed into ordinary soldiers' clothes and mixed in with the first group of retreating troops. He had two soldiers dressed as them sit in the center of the army and retreat with the rear troops, and they also raised the commander's black flag especially high.

Lu Bu observed Han Sui's retreating troops from afar in the rear and did not see anything wrong. Thinking that Zhang Yan's troops were still in Zheng County, he led his troops with Taishi Ci to pursue and kill them.

On the top of the city wall, Zhang Mo frowned unconsciously when she saw the two armies chasing Han Sui.

Han Sui was a man of courage, but he also valued his life. Even if he personally supervised the battle, he would surely be the first to retreat. How could he sit so firmly in the center of the army?

Her heart suddenly jumped, and Zhang Mo shouted anxiously, "Zhongkang, hurry up, ride a fast horse to catch up with Fengxian and Ziyi."

Xu Chu looked puzzled. "The Liangzhou army has discarded all their armor and weapons. It doesn't look like they're feigning defeat..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Mo interrupted him, "It's true that he wasn't faking defeat... Now isn't the time to explain. Go and get him back quickly, or something terrible will happen."

Seeing Zhang Mo's serious expression, Xu Chu did not dare to delay. He ordered his men to bring his mount and went to chase Lü Bu and Taishi Ci in person.

At this moment, at the front of the Liangzhou army's retreating team, a soldier was riding his horse to report the news to Han Sui.

"General, Lu Bu has indeed brought his men after us. Besides him, there are also those outside the city."

Han Sui nodded to show that he understood.

Ma Teng looked around and said, "This place is more than 20 miles away from the ambush. Most of our soldiers have been scattered, and there are only about 10,000 people left at the rear."

What he meant was that if the team was caught up by Lu Bu before they ran across the cliff, more than 10,000 defeated soldiers would definitely not be a match for those two fierce and powerful soldiers. Once Lu Bu knew that the two people in the central army were fake, he would not be fooled.

Han Sui narrowed his eyes slightly, hardened his heart, and ordered, "First, send 5,000 men to intercept them on the road. They don't need to use all their strength, just hold them off for half an hour."

After saying this, he swung the whip in his hand even faster.

Lu Bu's mount was fast, but he was not stupid enough to chase it alone. He kept controlling the speed of his horse. Even so, the two armies were getting closer and closer to Han Sui's central army banner.

The soldiers sent by Han Sui to intercept were scattered by the cavalry before they could form a battle formation. Lu Bu's target was Han Sui and Ma Teng, and he had no interest in killing these small soldiers and generals. After breaking through the interception, he left a thousand people to strangle the remaining Liangzhou troops, while the others continued to chase and kill Han Sui.

All the men in the central army rode their horses at full speed and galloped as fast as they could, wishing they and their horses had two more legs. At dusk, the exhausted Liangzhou army finally ran through the ambush area. At this time, the infantry on the central army side were almost completely defeated, leaving only more than 3,000 cavalrymen to guard the fake Han Sui and the fake Ma Teng.

However, they are safe.

In front, Han Sui and Ma Teng, who had already run across the cliff, breathed a sigh of relief. They stopped on a high slope far away to rest. Now was the time to enjoy the rain of stones.

Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as expected. When Lu Bu and Taishi Ci chased to the cliff, they suddenly stopped.

Taishi Ci has always been cautious and he never forgets to observe the terrain while pursuing. The road from Huayin is basically flat, with gentle slopes and hills at most. There is a sudden cliff here, so he has no choice but to be careful.

The Golden Eagle Guards are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of being attacked. Cliffs and valleys are their nemesis. After so many years of training in force, formations and military common sense, every member of the Golden Eagle Guards is very clear about the knowledge of the mutual generation and restraint of various terrains, weather, arms and basic formations. Among the more than one thousand old Golden Eagle Guards, each one can at least be an officer of the rank of marquis.

While the soldiers were chasing, they saw a cliff on the side of the road ahead and began to control the speed of their horses. When Taishi Ci signaled to stop, the team stopped neatly behind him, and no one took a step forward.

Maintaining formation while running was something not all armies could do. Lu Bu gave Taishi Ci an admiring look, raised his head and gazed up at the cliff above. The corners of his lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Retreat!"

He had been ambushed by Yang Chuo once in Jifeng Road that year. Although Han Sui was really defeated today, as Amo said, the troops' deployment was unreasonable, so even the most reasonable retreat would seem unreasonable.

Xu Chu came after them at full speed. Seeing that everyone was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly conveyed Zhang Mo's intention to ask them to return to the army.

"I told her to put her mind at ease, but I still sent you to chase her!" Lu Bu smiled and turned his horse around.

Xu Chu asked, "How can she be at ease if you two chase her so urgently?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "She should trust her husband."

On a high slope in the distance, Han Sui watched Lu Bu's troops turn back, his face flushed with rage, and fumes coming out of his seven orifices. In order to lure Lu Bu to his death, he sacrificed the lives of so many soldiers, but ended up failing when he was about to succeed?

Ma Teng also had a look of regret on his face, but he was not as angry as Han Sui. After all, most of his men had died in Puzhen. Although some of them were sacrificed today, they were not as many as Han Sui's. Now the strength of the two was almost the same.

Li Jue didn't care. If they succeeded in ambushing Lü Bu today, he would continue to attack Hongnong and even Bingzhou with Han Sui. But if they failed...

He looked at Lu Bu's troops which had not yet gone far, and his eyes fell on Han Sui's head.
