Chapter 152 [Second Confrontation (Part 1)]

(Thank you, Dalian! One million and two million fans are worth it, it’s such a heavy encouragement! Zhao Wuxiu 2014, 6 Holy Sword Musket, ufgw has always been encouraging, thank you!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the fifth day of the fifth month, a full month after Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Ma Han's ship finally set sail.

This time, due to the clear purpose and the solid logistics base in Pengcheng, Ma Han decided to go into battle lightly and only led the building ship with combat performance and a troop transport boat westward. There was still a troop boat, more than ten supply ships of all sizes, as well as a large number of non-combatants such as ship workers and servitude workers, all stayed in Huaiyin and was taken care of by Lu Dai.

The tower ships and boats led by Ma Han had twenty white wolf cavalry, thirty floor boatmen, twenty boatmen, nearly thirty boatmen, and nearly thirty ship workers and servants, plus three hundred Xia Pi servants. Among the 400 soldiers, more than 80% were combat personnel, and their elite strength was the best in Xuzhou.

When the Xia Pi soldiers were newly surrendered, Ma Han naturally would not take it lightly. Not only did they transfer all the White Wolf Cavalry and the Tower Boat to the surveillance boat, but all the servants were also not dispatched weapons in non-war periods. Three hundred people were organized into six teams and separated in each cabin. Usually, teams were not allowed to move between each cabin. There were several fully armed White Wolf Cavalry warriors guarding and supervising the stairs of each cabin. However, if there were any abnormal movements, there was no need to verify them, and there was no need to report them. If there was no need to kill them, it was not necessary to be killed.

It was under such strict monitoring and high pressure that Mahan's westbound fleet was in a turbulent journey. On May 13, it entered Pengcheng Kingdom, and Lu County was in sight.

Far away, a team of cavalry appeared on the north shore, raising a stream of yellow dust and rushing towards them. The knights kept shouting loudly at the ships, looking extremely excited.

It's the White Wolf Cavity.

Ma Han looked at the bow of the boat and did not notice Zhao Yun. Zhensheng asked: "Who is Zhao Sima?"

The White Wolf Fierce Cavalry soldier replied: "Report to the city guard, Cao's army launched a general attack on Pengcheng today, and Zhao Sima led a team of brothers to watch the battle."

Ma Han was slightly surprised: "The Chen family and his son are good. They can defend Pengcheng for nearly a month in such a dilemma... Well, I remember that Chen Deng was a master of the city guarding and had repeatedly defeated the Eastern Wu invasion. Of course, this kind of talent is not born. Could it be that it was the training that began in this battle?"

Whether it was Chen Deng and his son, or Zhao Yun, Ma Han could not be missed. He immediately ordered twenty White Wolf Strong Cavalry and headed to Pengcheng along the official road on the north bank of Sishui to meet with Zhao Yun. As for the Xia Pi soldiers, there were a total of one hundred White Wolf Strong Cavalry taking over the guards, what else was there to worry about?

From Lu County to Pengcheng, it is only more than fifty miles away, and the fast horse can reach only half an hour. At this time, the situation ahead is unpredictable and it is possible to encounter Cao's army at any time, so even if there are only twenty cavalry, they still strictly follow the marching rules. There is a cavalry in front, back, and right (there is Sishui on the left, and there is no need for warning). There is a cavalry in each direction, two miles away from the detectives. Once the enemy encounters the situation, they will immediately issue an arrow to warn them.

The horse and the five cavalry guards were running in the middle. After more than thirty miles, they heard two unique arrows of the White Wolf Cavalry roars ahead and on the right.

Ma Han and the guards pulled their horses one after another. After a while, the two cavalry rushed back from different directions. The same situation was reported: "Sima Zhao led fifty brothers to confront Cao's army, and at the same time, the men of Chen Gong, the prime minister of Pei State and Chen Yuanlong, the Diannong School Captain."

Ma Han understood as soon as he heard this: "So, Zilong took action to save Chen's father and son. Good. Good job! Everyone under Tao Qian's men can die, but this father and son cannot die. Let's go and help Zilong and Chen's father and son."

If you can't walk five miles, you will turn a few hills. In front of you is a vast ridge. In May, the wheat seedlings have just been heading, but at this time they have been trampled and destroyed by a three or four hundred infantry and cavalry army. The banner that the infantry and cavalry army is a auxiliary flag with the word "historical".

There is only one more famous general in Cao's army with the surname Shi - Cao Ren's right-hand man, Sima Shi Huan, Shi Gong Liu. These auxiliary flags show that Shi Huan is not among this pursuer.

Three hundred steps away from Cao's army, there was a defeated army with disorderly flags and uneven formations, filled with panic. Their more troops than Cao's army, about five or six hundred, but such morale could be known without fighting. The banner of this army was "Chen", and the soldiers' clothing was also the Xuzhou army that looked familiar to Marhan. I guess it was the Pengcheng army of the Chen father and son.

Hundreds of steps south of the two confrontational armies, a white wolf headhunting flag was flying all over the place. A little lower than the military flag was the flag. The bottom of the flag was red, and a white circle in the center was a large pure black character "Zhao" inside the circle was particularly eye-catching.

Under the two big flags, the fifty white wolf cavalry, with the undulating terrain, were like a fierce tiger lying on the side, eyeing it, putting huge pressure on the flanks of Cao's army.

Although there are not many cavalry and horses in Bailang, the pressure on the Cao army by this kind of fierce and light cavalry is far greater than that of the Pengcheng army, which is ten times the number of people on the opposite side.

At present, the three sides have formed a delicate triangle restraint: the Cao army did not dare to attack the Pengcheng army, for fear of being attacked on the flanks; and the Pengcheng army did not dare to run away, for fear of the Cao army splitting their troops to pursue them; and Zhao Yun would not take the initiative to attack the Cao army. His purpose was to rescue the Pengcheng army, not to release the Cao army, which was inconsistent with his purpose of staying here. It would be best to rescue the Pengcheng army and avoid conflicts with the Cao army. However, for a while, there was no plan to achieve both forces, so he could only use the pressure of attracting but not exerting pressure to force the Cao army to retreat.

In this way, the three parties formed a confrontation, which lasted for two moments.

At this time, smoke and dust rose behind the Cao army and flags were faintly visible. At this time, there was only one possibility for the troops coming from this direction - Cao army reinforcements.

Zhao Yun's heart sank. Cao's reinforcements arrived. He wanted to force him to retreat without thinking. But in a moment, the White Wolf Cavalry warrior heard the surprise cry behind him: "Look Sima, the city guard is here!"

The Red Pin White Wolf Headhunting Flag suddenly broke into the battlefield. Two strings of white thrones representing the identity of the Hange tribe leader at the top of the flagpole. The Mahan did not have a general flag, nor did he need a general flag. The uniqueness of the Red Pin Flag represents his general flag. The military flag is combined into one. The White Wolf Army is him, and he is the White Wolf Army.

Just as the Cao army was cheering, the White Wolf Cavalry also whistled excitedly, and the soldiers drove the cavalry down the hillside to face their city guards. The noise was so loud that the Cao army was in a stir. They hurriedly tightened their positions and were fully alert.

Both sides arrived at the same time, and they were all ss-level figures: the White Wolf Knight is Ma Han, and the Cao Army is Shi Huan.

Ma Han and Zhao Yun met again. The two old comrades just looked at each other and then took out their guns and spears, and knocked each other heavily with gun rods in the way they met on the battlefield on the grassland. The white wolf cavalry soldiers around them then made loud laughter. The sound was like a muffled thunder in summer, rolling away from afar.

After a while, several cavalry came from the Pengcheng Army, and was stopped by the warned White Wolf Cavalry warrior a hundred steps away. At this time, the leader of the cavalry shouted from afar: "Old friend Chen Deng, please see Ma Jun."

Ma Han waved his hand and signaled to let go.

The knight rushed up the hillside. At this moment, the Xuzhou talent still maintained his usual calm and elegant attitude, and immediately saluted Ma Han: "I parted in Xia Pi more than a month ago. I never thought I could meet on the battlefield. The kindness of Ma Jun helping me is in my heart."

Ma Han bowed slightly: "The old friend is in trouble, and it happens to be the same. How can I sit and watch? This is a common human nature, and Brother Yuanlong doesn't have to worry about it... Judging from Brother Yuanlong's situation, is it possible that Pengcheng has been destroyed by Cao's army?"

Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "Cao's army is powerful and its military power is in full swing. Although Deng can stop it for a while, he is still...ah! I am ashamed."

Ma Han said sincerely: "Brother Yuanlong has done a good job. He was ordered to be in danger and was full of chaos. With the weak brigade of the dangerous city, he blocked tens of thousands of Cao's army west of Sishui for more than a month. If the garrisons of all counties in Xuzhou could be like Brother Yuanlong, Cao's army would be afraid that before they could reach the East China Sea, they would have run out of their troops and food."

As a famous scholar in the Xuzhou family, Chen Deng has grown up since he was young. He has heard so many compliments that he has never been moved by a few words. But Ma Han's straightforward words were moved by his heart, and he bowed his hands together, and was speechless for a moment.

Ma Han really doesn’t have a compliment, it’s all about facts. When a person does something amazing, you just need to tell the truth in the first place, it’s the best compliment.

While feeling moved, Chen Deng did not forget the purpose of coming here. He asked now: "The Cao army has reinforcements, which seems to be Shi Huan chasing him personally. What does Ma Jun mean? Your troops are all elite cavalry, while our Pengcheng troops are mostly infantrymen. Your troops are strong in morale, but our troops are low in morale. Therefore, we are willing to coordinate and contact the two armies to fight against Cao's army together. We are willing to take your troops as the main force and our troops are attached to the wings."

Ma Han smiled and said, "Shi Gong Liu is also an old acquaintance. When someone goes to meet, it is best if he can persuade him to stop." After that, without waiting for Chen Deng to dissuade him, he exchanged a knowing look with Zhao Yun, and only brought two white wolf cavalry warriors, holding a big flag and thorning towards the center of the battlefield.

Just before the two armies, under the surprised gaze of thousands of people, the ironwood flagpole as thick as a bowl slammed heavily, and the ground trembled violently, and everyone on the battlefield also blew up.

Ma Han stood under the banner without hesitation, shouting at Cao's army opposite: "A certain Liaoxi Ma Han. Shi Gong Liu is opposite! Please come a while before the formation!"

Ma Han and Shi Huan had an intersection during the battle of Suiling. Although they had no friendship, they were at least old acquaintances. Ma Han believed that with this person's nature, if he was in the formation, he would not avoid it.

Sure enough, after a while, the Cao army separated, and four armored knights held shields to protect a cavalry generals and stopped around a hundred steps away from the Marian. Through the four shields, a vaguely bearded general wearing brown armor was staring at Marian coldly. After a while, he said in a high-pitched voice: "I parted on the banks of Sui River, but I didn't expect to meet again on the banks of Si Shui. Ma Jinglong, wherever there is chaos in Xuzhou, you can see you, and you always go against our army. Ma Jinglong, does this mean that you have defected to Tao Gongzu and officially become an enemy of our Yanzhou army!"

Although he didn't see the person clearly, he heard this voice, Shi Huan himself was undoubtedly. Seeing Shi Huan's appearance like this, he obviously remembered the experience of his superior Cao Ren and took strict precautions. However, two generals who met in front of the formation stood calmly, and the left and right guards were ten steps behind; the other was surrounded by the tightly protected and guarded heavy cavalry and strong shields, and this momentum was obviously much weaker.

Before the war began, the strength of the aura of the two generals was determined. This made the Cao army soldiers who were pursuing each other with great victory and looked at each other, and were frustrated, while the Pengcheng army cheered in unison, and their morale was slightly boosted.
