The soldier staggered, and fell directly on the ground. Even so, he still shouted to the front with all his might.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

First, Ma Chao announced the news that Han Sui's entire army had been annihilated for a month, and then there was the wailing of a soldier who was so embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze, and everyone stood up nervously.

Ma Chao was so anxious that he dragged the soldier up.

"Quickly tell me what's going on!" "Ha...huh..."

Faced with Ma Chao's roar, the soldier's face was flushed, and he didn't answer at all, but kept breathing rapidly.

"You're dumb! Speak!"

The soldier kept pointing at his neck, and looked anxiously at Ma Teng.

"Meng Qi, let him go!"

Ma Teng quickly scolded Ma Chao, it turned out that Ma Chao was too strong and strangled the soldier's neck!

Bang!

As soon as Ma Chao let go, the soldier fell to the ground again.

After several short breaths, the soldier finally calmed down and looked at Ma Teng eagerly.

"Master...Master! Horse... Horse..."

Ma Chao was dizzy with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pot!

Unexpectedly, the soldier was still stuttering on the ground, and he was even more furious at the moment.

"What a horse! If you don't hurry up, I'll screw your head off!"

Maybe Ma Chao's expression was too cruel, which directly cured the soldier's stuttering.

"My lord! General Ma Yue was first attacked by cavalry, and then attacked by Huang Zhong in Pingxiang City. Thousands of troops have been lost!"

"General Ma Yue was captured alive by the enemy, the little one came here to report the news with all his might!"

After saying that, the soldier stamped his feet and beat his chest, fell to the ground and howled loudly.

After Ma Teng heard the news, his mind went blank, and then his legs went limp, and he slumped down on the main seat.

"Ma Yue... was captured..."

Now Ma Teng understood why Liu Zhang had been silent for so long. It turned out that he was going to cut off his way back!

"Father, uncle was captured in Pingxiang, and the way back was completely cut off. What should we do?"

Ma Teng stared blankly at Ma Chao, unable to do anything.

If Liu Zhang doesn't make a move, it's all right, but if he makes a move, he will be shocked!

He dared to wipe out Ma Yue's thousands of cavalry, so he must have made complete preparations to ensure that Ma Teng's army could not return to Wuwei!

"Father handsome!"

Ma Teng's absence made Ma Chao anxious, and he stood beside him and kept shouting.

How to do?

Where does Ma Teng know what to do!

Liu Zhang didn't even need to attack, and Ma Teng's 30,000 troops would be starved to death in a short time!

Ma Teng suddenly felt aggrieved, how did this battle end?

Without a single frontal collision, the 50,000 army lost 20,000!

"Han Sui! You are really vicious! You can't die by yourself, but you insist on dragging me on your back!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and scolded Han Sui angrily. If he hadn't kept the news of Didao's defeat from him, how could he have fallen into such a situation? Everyone in the handsome tent was in panic, and everyone felt that the end was coming!

At this moment, Pound, known for his calmness, stepped forward.

"My lord, my eldest son, if I sit and wait to die, I can only be starved to death by Liu Zhang! Why don't you concentrate your forces and retreat to Wuwei immediately, and see if you can break out of the encirclement!"

Liu Zhang hasn't appeared yet, but all the generals under Ma Teng's command defaulted to being surrounded.

Even Ma Teng and Ma Chao were the same, otherwise they wouldn't be so panicked.

"Ling Ming, don't you know what Liu Zhang is like? He won't jump if he is not sure of victory!"

"Now that he has blatantly wiped out Ma Yue, he must have completely blocked our way of retreat!"

Ma Teng was extremely depressed, especially when he thought of Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry being wiped out in one day.

There are still 30,000 people in the big camp, how many days can I last?

Ma Chao pulled out the saber from his waist and inserted it directly into the table, his face became extremely ferocious.

"Father, what are you afraid of him doing! We will fight Liu Zhang!"

Ma Chao is a mixed Han and Qiang man, and he always has the wildness of the Qiang people in his bones.

Even in heavy siege, Ma Chao was unwilling to sit and wait for death, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield.

In terms of blood and courage, Ma Chao is indeed much stronger than his father Ma Teng.

Pound glanced at Ma Chao appreciatively, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"My lord, the Eldest Young Master is right! Sitting and waiting for death is death, and fighting with Liu Zhang is death at most!"

"Anyway, it's a death, it's better to fight! Maybe we can kill a glimmer of life!"

All the generals in the tent nodded their approval one after another, and then handed over their hands to plead with Ma Teng.

"My lord, we are willing to fight Liu Zhang to the death!"

Unexpectedly, in this desperate situation, under the leadership of Ma Chao, the morale was aroused amazingly!

The generals under his command are not afraid of life and death, how can Ma Teng be depressed as the commander in chief?

Immediately stood up, also drew out the saber around his waist, and inserted it fiercely into the desk.

"Okay! Today, I, Ma Teng, will live and die with all the generals! If you escape by chance, you will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

The morale was so high, and the generals were so brave and fearless, Ma Teng's heart was no longer sad.

If you try your best, you may not be able to defeat Liu Zhang, but you may not be able to break through!

"All generals obey orders!"

Including Ma Chao, everyone became serious, waiting for Ma Teng's next words.

"Come with me..."

At this tense moment, another soldier rushed in from outside the tent, looking extremely panicked.

"Master... my lord!"

Ma Teng's face darkened, and he scolded the soldier for coming in at the wrong time, and suppressed all his enthusiasm.

"Say!"

The soldiers trembled in fright at Ma Teng's roar, but the military situation was urgent, and he couldn't care less.

"My lord! According to the report from the sentry cavalry, Liu Zhang personally led the army to attack, and it is less than five miles away from the camp!"

There was an uproar in the tent immediately, I didn't expect the Yizhou Army to move so fast, and Liu Zhang came in person!

Ma Chao grabbed the soldier up and asked sharply.

"Which direction did Liu Zhang come from? Is it Ji County or Pingxiang?"

"Elder...Eldest Prince...is Ji County! Liu Zhang killed him from the direction of Ji County!"

"How many troops did he bring?"

Feeling that his feet were gradually leaving the ground, the soldiers didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly answered Ma Chao's questions.

"My lord, Liu Zhang has about 20,000 people with him, but they are all infantry!"

After Ma Chao let go of the soldier, he immediately fell into deep thought.

Ma Teng narrowed his eyes slightly, and exhaled heavily.

"Liu Zhang has at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and now he has only brought 20,000 people here. I'm afraid there are many people in ambush on our way back!"

Ma Teng had to admire Liu Zhang's courage. Facing his 30,000 elite cavalry, he brought only 20,000 infantry to fight. Who gave him the courage?

Suddenly, Ma Chao clapped his hands, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Father, maybe we still have a chance to reverse the situation, and even turn defeat into victory!"
