System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Seeing this, Ma Chao could only put away his gun and fight back.

"Bofu, we are deeply saddened by the death of General Ling."

"However, now that things have come to this, we should lead our army to break free from Dong's entanglement and regroup to have a future."

Lu Su pulled Sun Ce aside and began to persuade him.

"what!!!"

"withdraw!"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and roared, squeezing out a word from between his teeth.

He hates it, he really hates it.

In such a short period of time since the war with Dong's army, he had lost two generals in succession.

Lu Fan and Ling Cao were beheaded one after another.

We have to get rid of the enemy's entanglement now, and I don't know how many elite soldiers will be killed or injured.

After many years of fighting, this was the most powerless time for Sun Ce.

Once the order to withdraw is issued, the Jiangdong army's formation will no longer be maintained.

Zhou Yu was fine, after all, he was not facing the main force of Dong's army, but a group of 10,000 troops, and there was no general leading them, so it was relatively easy for Zhou Yu to deal with it.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Zhou Yu decisively ordered a breakout.

After a brief chase, Dong's army gave in and beheaded over 2,000 enemy soldiers.

Sun Ce is in a terrible situation.

Even though he had many brave generals, Sun Ce suffered heavy casualties when facing the wolf-like Dong army.

Retreat means failure, and the morale of the soldiers will naturally drop, and they will only think about escaping from the battlefield.

Xu Huang, Ma Chao and other generals led their troops in pursuit for more than ten miles, achieving great results.

Nearly half of Sun Ce's elite troops in Jiangdong were killed or wounded, and they will no longer be able to fight in a short period of time.

"No need to chase."

Xu Huang raised his axe and gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

"Why aren't you chasing me again?"

Ma Chao was still not satisfied and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"The enemy still has fighting power."

"If you push too hard, be careful of the enemy's counterattack."

"Our army has suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Be careful that the enemy will burn their boats and cross the river."

Xu Huang shook his head and explained.

"He has a low IQ, and you haven't explained one thing to him clearly."

"The enemy's food supplies have been burned. They must retreat to Jiangdong within a short period of time, otherwise the army will be defeated."

"This battle is over."

Zhang Liao glanced at Xu Huang and said with a smile.

"Why do I have a low IQ?"

Ma Chao scratched his head speechlessly.

"You said your IQ is not low?"

"How could you have fallen into the enemy's trap if you weren't stupid enough?"

"This general has already warned you, even pulling the reins to stop you from going, but you still won't listen."

"Wenyuan, you are the commander, you decide the punishment yourself."

Xu Huang glanced at Ma Chao and said unhappily.

As the acting commander-in-chief, Xu Huang was cautious.

Punishing soldiers is bound to be a difficult task.

He is just an agent anyway, so there is no need for him to do such thankless work.

The main general is Zhang Liao, let him bear the grudge.

"Uh...still a penalty."

"In this battle, I killed at least a hundred enemy soldiers."

Ma Chao said a little timidly.

"What's there to be proud of in killing a hundred people in the midst of a chaotic army?"

"I will only admire you if you kill a hundred men by yourself like the Overlord did back then."

"After your wounds are healed, go get fifty military sticks yourself. You can't become a useful person without beatings."

Zhang Liao gave Xu Huang a helpless look and then said with a cold face.

"Fifty!"

Ma Chao widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Why don't I talk to the torturers and ask them to hit you harder?"

"Or maybe wait until we get back to the North and have your father do it to you personally?"

"I guarantee that your father will beat you half to death just to save face."

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"No, I'd rather be punished."

Ma Chao's face turned pale and he immediately bowed.

Few soldiers have never been beaten with a military stick.

It depends on the situation. Some sticks hit hard, and some sticks hit lightly.

Ma Chao's move was obviously just to teach a lesson and serve as a warning to others.

Fifty military sticks would only make him confine himself to the bed for half a month.

If Zhang Liao were to report this.

Still lying in bed for half a month?

Next year on this time, just go to his grave and sprinkle some wine.

They are all just making a living in the army, so whoever beats the other will give them some face so that they can be useful in the future.

Only a fool would offend someone to death.

Alas, it’s all about human relationships and social skills.
