Ma Chao and Ma Dai knelt on the ground, tears in their eyes. Ma Chao said in tears: "Father, I led the army all the way through the pass and kill the generals, and killed the generals in Chang'an with a devastating momentum. However, I was slightly blocked by Zhang Ji in dozens of miles away from Chang'an. Our army quickly defeated Zhang Ji's army. When I led the army to the bottom of Chang'an, I found that Zhang Ji had led the army out of Chang'an and fled to Tongguan. After our army occupied Chang'an, we did not continue to chase Zhang Ji's army, but stabilized the situation in Chang'an."

After hearing this, Ma Teng knew that this was done well. After all, Chang'an is a big city, and it can be taken down without any effort. The soldiers under his command will suffer no losses. This is the best result. And occupying Chang'an means that the entire Yongzhou area will be taken down soon without long.

Ma Chao looked up at his father, and saw that the old man did not sniff, so he had to continue, "After our army occupied Chang'an, I originally wanted the army to immediately send troops to other places in Yongzhou after a little rest, and take advantage of the situation to capture the entire territory of Yongzhou in one fell swoop. However, our army's horse exploration report, Lu Ning sent Zhao Yun to lead an army of 60,000 to approach Chang'an. I only knew why Zhang Jihui fled without fighting. He was afraid of being attacked from both sides and being annihilated, so he withdrew from Chang'an."

When Ma Teng heard this, he was very puzzled. Zhao Yun had only tens of thousands of troops under his command, while our Xiliang Iron Cavalry had 100,000 cavalry, and Han Sui's 100,000 troops would support him at any time. How could he be afraid of Zhao Yun's only tens of thousands of troops?

Seeing that the old man was confused and puzzled, Ma Chao hurriedly explained: "Father, for the sake of caution, I sent Ling Ming to lead 5,000 cavalry out of the Wei River, hoping to establish a defense system there and rely on the Wei River to stop Zhao Yun's army's attack. But the situation was even more troublesome than we thought. Ling Ming's army was surrounded by Zhao Yun's army as soon as it moved. Finally, he came to report that Ling Ming's entire army was captured, and Ling Ming's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown. In this case, our army's army was

He dared to move, but he just wanted to use the thick and tall Chang'an city to resist the attack of Zhao Yun's army. After all, I have 100,000 iron cavalry in my hand. If I use it to defend the city, it would be fine. As long as our army defends the city for a few days, Zhao Yun's army will fight him when it is exhausted. So we don't care about Ling Ming's life or death for the time being, first strengthen the defense ability of Chang'an City and prepare various bows, stones, wooden sticks, tincture oil and other materials for defending the city."

In fact, there is nothing to blame for Ma Chao's arrangements. The key is that he has no idea about the strength of Zhao Yun's army, and he doesn't know that Zhao Yun's army has secret weapons in his hands. Moreover, at the beginning, Zhao Yun and Tian Feng designed a trap for Ma Chao. This is because of intentional calculations and no intentions, and he can't help but meet anyone.

Seeing that his father's expression gradually improved, Ma Yunli stood up and poured a glass of water for Ma Chao. Now everyone's mood was a little stable, not as intense as before. After Ma Chao drank the water, Ma Teng asked Ma Chao to continue talking with his eyes.

After drinking water, Ma Chao was in a better mood and his tears dried up. He looked up at Ma Teng. Although the old man did not speak, the anger on his face did not retreat. Ma Chao sighed and said, "Although our army is doing various preparations to defend the city, and not what we imagined. Zhao Yun led the army to slowly attack the city under the Chang'an city wall. He did not allow the soldiers to attack the city immediately, but instead stationed in Chang'an City. I originally wanted to lead the army out of the city for a battle. After thinking twice, I decided not to go out of the city to fight for the decisive battle. First, I saw what Zhao Yun had before taking countermeasures. I ordered the soldiers under my command to guard the city strictly and be highly vigilant. A few days later, we received a return from probing horses, saying that Zhao Yun sent Li You and Zhang Yan to raid the Anding City and took it down in one fell swoop, so that our army's retreat was cut off.

I also knew why Zhao Yun's army was slow. They wanted to wipe out our army. Zhao Yun and the others were extremely cunning, which surprised me. However, our army occupied Chang'an City and had 100,000 cavalry in their hands. Although we were a little panicked, we were not afraid of Zhao Yun's army. After all, he only had tens of thousands of people. If he attacked the city, it would be a one-to-three casualties, and he was looking for death. I guess he would definitely retreat after attacking for a while. Even if the Big Bear Army had strong combat power, it would not be acceptable to attack a big city like Chang'an. Besides, if a city like Chang'an wanted to break through it, it would be a fantasy."

Ma Chao said this, looking up at the old man, shook his head helplessly, and said angrily: "Our army has bad luck, and God seems to be making things difficult for our army. Our army has prepared various preparations to defend the city, but Zhao Yun's army has not seen Zhao Yun's army attack the city. He thought Zhao Yun was also worried about the huge casualties caused by the attack, and he was still secretly happy, and he did not know that our army's nightmare was coming."

When Ma Teng heard this, he felt nervous. He wanted to know what happened and resisted the idea of ​​asking. Ma Tie next to him did not have so many concerns and asked tacitly, "Brother, tell me quickly, what is it?"

Everyone wanted to know what happened, and why God would make things difficult for the army, which was very difficult to understand. Ma Chao looked at everyone's faces, stopped silent, and said in a very helpless tone: "Just three days after Zhao Yun's army arrived in Chang'an City, to be precise, it was at the fifth night that day, God and our army made a huge joke. When the night was late, God suddenly made several continuous thunders above Chang'an City. The sound was really thrilling and shocking, just like the sky was about to collapse, and everyone in their sleep was awakened by the thunder."

Everyone was even more confused after hearing this. What's the strange thing about God's thunder? Who hasn't heard it? Is it necessary to be so frightened? Ma Yunli smiled and said to Ma Chao: "Brother, it's a natural phenomenon to thunder in the sky. What's the fuss? You haven't heard it before. Thunder sounds every year, although sometimes thunder will kill several people. What harm does this have to the army?"

After hearing this, Ma Chao shouted loudly: "The sound of thunder has collapsed the Chang'an city wall!"

Everyone was surprised after hearing this. What's the possibility? They all looked at Ma Chao with strange eyes. No one would believe such nonsense. Ma Teng said angrily: "Nonsense! How could the thunder collapse the city wall? Are you an excuse you made after losing your troops and losing your generals? You are incompetent and still scared you here to make up an excuse that only idiots would say? Do you think I would believe it?"

Ma Teng raised his foot and kicked Ma Chao hard. Ma Chao did not dare to dodge and endured Ma Teng's fierce kick. After Ma Chao fell to the ground, he had a trace of blood on his mouth. The injury was not light, but this was Ma Teng's angry leg.

This cannot be blamed on Ma Teng. Such things are indeed unheard of, let alone know that it was a secret weapon created by Lu Ning, and even more so, Lu Ning himself is a time traveler. In later generations, as long as he has been to school and online, no one knows about gunpowder. As a time traveler, it is not surprising that Lu Ning can get this thing, but it is impossible to make the ancients believe that such a thing is, after all, this kind of thing is too mysterious.

Ma Dai next to him was angry when he saw Ma Teng, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, crying and said, "Uncle, what the elder brother said is true. The city wall in Chang'an was really knocked down by thunder. If you don't believe it, please ask the soldiers who escaped with us this time. Two of them were soldiers patrolling the city wall that day. The elder brother did not tell any lies."

Ma Teng immediately asked the two soldiers to call them. After a while, the two soldiers who came in were also covered in rags, their armor was not in order, and their clothes were covered in blood. They were skin and bones. There were elite soldiers there, and there were no difference between them and beggars begging for food.

Ma Teng sternly said to the two soldiers: "You two will make it clear to me, how could the thunder in the sky collapse the Chang'an city? You two must answer truthfully. If there is a trace of lies, I will kill your whole family."

The two little soldiers were frightened and trembled in a row. One of the little soldiers stammered: "General, the city of Chang'an was really knocked down by the thunder in the sky. At that time, I was standing on the city wall patrolling. Suddenly, a few roars sounded in the sky, which scared us to the point of being stunned. Everyone opened their mouths and stood on the city wall in a daze."

Another soldier quickly added: "General, I was also present at that time. It was the thunder in the sky that collapsed the Chang'an city wall. We were all frightened by the loud noise and could not move at all. I only reported it when the Big Bear Army rushed into the city. However, most of the soldiers on the city wall were killed by the Big Bear Army before they woke up. I had to run back to the general's mansion to report to the major general."

Ma Dai looked up at Ma Teng, and saw that the old man's face had improved slightly, he quickly explained: "General, we were awakened by the thunder, and we all got up as soon as possible. We just got dressed and heard the soldiers say that the city was broken and that it was broken by the thunder, saying that it was God's punishment for our army. The entire army was in great chaos. The soldiers were all running for life and did not listen to our stop. We also killed several escaped soldiers at the time, but the soldiers were scared and were terrified. In that case, they could not organize and resist. My elder brother and I could only lead the army to escape from the city as soon as possible, save the army first, and think of other ways to remedy it."

Ma Teng stopped talking. He was still so frightened when he saw the two soldiers talking about this. He knew that they did not lie. It was God who punished our army. This was irresistible to human power. Even if he was there at that time, he was powerless and could not reverse it. God would not help me!

Ma Teng thought about it again, even if the army was defeated, it would be a hundred thousand troops. How could he fight and only a few people were left to come back? This is impossible? He glared at his eyes and said sternly: "A hundred thousand troops, even if he escapes his life, it is impossible to escape only you? Where are the other soldiers?"

Ma Dai sighed and shook his head and said, "General, Zhao Yunnas, is insidious and cunning. He is still a large army on the way we escape. Just when our army was so angry that we were trapped and exhausted, we suddenly got ambushed by the Big Bear Army. Tens of thousands of troops that escaped with us were annihilated, and only more than 5,000 people escaped from the tiger's mouth."

After hearing this, Ma Yuntu was even more panicked and asked in a low voice: "Then have you escaped from the five thousand troops blocked by the Big Bear Army when you are stable?"

After hearing this, Ma Dai said, "Yes, little sister! If it weren't for the elder brother's bloody battle and killed Li You, we would probably never have escaped. The Great Bear Army was too powerful. General Li You was killed. The army was only a little confused for a while, and immediately inspired a thousand fighting spirits to fight to our army, and said that we were going to kill us to avenge Li You. In the end, only a few of us followed the elder brother and broke out of the siege. All the other soldiers were killed by the Great Bear Army. In order to avenge their revenge, they openly refused to capture them and killed all our soldiers. "

Another soldier said: "The Big Bear Army soldiers are so vicious. They have been killing us for hundreds of miles and have been chasing us for hundreds of miles. I heard that it was only after the general's repeated orders to return."

After hearing this, Ma Teng was in a very heavy mood. He lost a hundred thousand troops and formed a deep hatred with Lu Ning, and the next step was probably to face the revenge of the Big Bear Iron Cavalry. "You go and have a rest first. Li You is Lu Ning's confidant general. We must prepare to fight Big Bear immediately. Big Bear is a guy who will avenge his revenge and is very protective of his shortcomings. Besides, Li You was the first person to follow Lu Ning, and he was deeply trusted by Lu Ning. In a sense, Lu Ning's success was due to Li Youzhi's achievements. Without the 200 horse thieves under Li You at that time, there would be Lu Ning today!"

Ma Teng didn't know how Lu Ning buried Li You. If he knew that Li You's funeral was so grand that it was no less than the emperor's funeral, he would definitely not be able to sleep. He would worry about the Big Bear Army coming to take revenge and massacre every day.
