"I'm not just going to run! I'm going to fight!" 02

The blood-red morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, struggling and rolling in the sea of clouds, and Matthew, who had fought so bloodily, was leading his men to kill wildly for the simplest of survival and glory. 02

All grievances, all morals, all fantasies and extravagant hopes are all left behind at this moment. 02

Men should kill!

Fifty to one thousand, such a huge contrast can be said to be a battle without suspense, but Matthew and his fifty subordinates did not flinch, they understood the meaning of the moment, each of them was trying their best to fight with the enemy army several times their size, just to snatch one of the opponent's horses.

Even later, it was clear that the war horse had arrived, but the enemy army rushed up one after another and cut off the hind hooves of their war horse with a knife in the back, and they couldn't ride it themselves, and they didn't want to let Ma Xiu's people snatch it away.

The battle was longer than scheduled, and Matthew felt like he had been fighting for a long, long time this time, and he couldn't help but feel infinitely sad when he saw that more than half of his subordinates had died on this land, and only more than ten war horses had been snatched.

"Withdraw!"

"General, do we chase or not!" Watching Matthew retreat in embarrassment with the remnants of more than twenty people, the soldiers asked their commander.

The main general wiped the blood on his face, and said hatefully: "What are you chasing? 1,000 people against less than 100 people, killed and injured more than 100 people before killing and injuring 20 people, his face is very bright or he is sure to pursue again, or the old saying is good, don't chase the poor, Han Sui's old generals have already surrounded Jincheng, and we have lost Han Sui himself, so naturally we have to consider the back road, this Jincheng area is not our lord's world, besides, his old man is not here, we are so desperate here, who knows?" If we make a little mistake, then our heads will fall to the ground, so it's better to loot all the way over and find a place to stay in the Xiqiang area!"

The morale of the people was also extremely low by the battle of Matthew, and even this could not be called a battle, and after listening to the words of the main general, they all agreed: "What the general said is extremely true, we will only obey the general's order from now on, and we will go wherever the general goes!"

The crowd seemed to be satisfied in this self-deception and comfort, and actually sang a song of triumph, and did not return to Jincheng, but drove directly to the west. 02

"General, the group of people who pursued Han Sui seems to have suffered a big defeat, and they were fighting with Han Sui just now, but there is no movement at the moment, could it be that they were completely annihilated by Han Sui?"

Xu Rong's lieutenant has been observing the movements not far from the opposite side, and can't help but wonder one after another, at the beginning, Han Sui's group of people who fled was still a little embarrassed, panicked like lost dogs, but they didn't know what was going on, it was just a small effort, this group of people actually snatched hundreds of war horses from their own people, and now they didn't hear any movement, naturally there was a reason why the two armies were separated from each other.

Xu Rong coldly scolded this deputy general for being stupid: "It's really stupider than a pig, this army is obviously not Han Sui's subordinates, although Han Sui is powerful, but he has always been crushing and advancing step by step, and it has never been this kind of fatal tactics!"

The adjutant general scolded a bloody dog, and couldn't help but be full of doubts, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and was very skeptical of Xu Rong's words: "General, how is this possible? Is it not Han Sui, is it Ma Teng?"

Xu Rong nodded, but shook his head again: "It's not Ma Teng, but it must be Ma Teng's people, in Xiliang, only Ma Jiajun can stand side by side with my Xu Rong's combat power!"

"General, the enemy army rushed over, not Han Sui himself, but more than 200 people led by Ma Teng's son Ma Xiu! His subordinates were discovered by their people, and they had to get out after a fight!" A cavalryman rode forward from a distance, and there were still many wounds on his body, obviously there was a battle, but because he was in a hurry to come back and report this information to Xu Rong, he didn't even bandage the wounds simply, and the gurgling blood almost soaked the clothes and armor on his body red.

Hearing the news, the adjutant general who had questioned Xu Rong's judgment obediently closed his mouth, and the rest of the soldiers were even more impressed by Xu Rong.

"Ma Xiu! hehe, Ma Teng is really willing to spend his money!" When Xu Rong heard the news, he became extremely excited, he believed in the intelligence of this soldier, these people had accompanied him and fought with this Ma Xiu, but at that time, Xu Rong's men and horses were still attached to the mercenaries of the Qiang people, Ma Teng came to crusade against the Qiang troops in the name of Geng in Liangzhou at this time, and the divine power of the Ma family army was fought at that time, and Ma Xiu also accompanied Ma Teng on the expedition, but it was a teenager who was more than ten years old, but he slashed the lives of dozens of Xu Rong's men.

This feud Xu Rong has always remembered, and now it is the so-called not a rivalry that does not get together.

"Can we fight again?" Xu Rong looked at the cavalryman who came to report the news, and asked in a cold voice.

"General Hui, no problem!" the cavalryman clenched his fists and pounded his chest violently, and the whole person looked unusually fierce, not afraid of the wound that was still bleeding.

There were a few recruits who didn't know Xu Rong's past and didn't understand what was wrong with Xu Rong, who was usually calm, and they couldn't help muttering: "Since you know that the other party is not Han Sui, why didn't the general send someone to search for and arrest him?"

"Are you a general or a general, we will do whatever the general says, you don't want your head anymore?" The veteran next to him noticed that Xu Rong's face became extremely ugly because of hearing these discussions, so he reprimanded the recruits in a low voice.

Xu Rong snorted, turned his horse's head and came to this group of recruits, and said sharply: "You are not wrong, this personal grudge between my Xu Rong and Ma Teng, should not involve you as well, Han Sui must be in the mountains upstream of the river at this moment, if you want to get this credit, just go, it's too late, I'm afraid he will cross the river and go to the south bank in a hurry, if he destroys the ice, then we really can't catch him!"

Everyone was slightly surprised: "General, you had expected Han Sui to be there, why didn't you say it?"

Xu Rong slashed his golden sword, looked at the front and said, "Do you think that I, Xu Rong, am a person who can do things by any means for fame and fortune?"

His questioning was like torturing every soldier present, and it was more like talking to himself, and everyone calmed down and didn't dare to say a word.

Hearing that no one answered, Xu Rong didn't know whether to be moved or emotional, he said faintly: "Life is between heaven and earth, and revenge must be avenged, but also remember to leave a way back for others, that is, a way back for yourself!"

Ma Xiu was riding on a horse at the moment, marching forward with the remaining more than a hundred people under his command, still not recovering from the mood just now, several bloody battles, he only felt that his whole body could not exert any strength, if there was a force in front of him now, he simply doubted whether he had the ability to disarm and surrender.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground in front, coming from the left, middle and right directions at the same time.

The light of the sun in the east was not strong, but for Matthew, who had been fighting all night, it was like a sharp blade of despair, hanging high in front of his eyes.

"How can there be enemy troops here? I remember that before I came to Jincheng, there was not a single soldier stationed here!" Ma Xiu gasped, thinking to himself what he was afraid of.

Some soldiers had already come back from some inquiry, and their faces were extremely solemn and said: "Major General Qiyu, opposite is the elite cavalry of Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, and Xu Rong himself is among them, the number is not much, less than a thousand!"

Ma Xiu was shocked when he heard this, just now there were subordinates who said that they were fighting with a few guys who looked extraordinary, not like those chasing soldiers in Jincheng, and he heard the news that Xu Rong was coming to Jincheng before, and he didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't think it was true, those guys who fought with his subordinates must also be Xu Rong's people, Xu Rong is a first-class soldier, and he is unparalleled in Dong Zhuo's army, what is he doing in Jincheng?

"Ma Xiu! is worthy of being Ma Teng's son, with only a few hundred people and horses, the defenders of the entire Jincheng have played around, and the Ma family army really deserves its reputation!"

Suddenly, a moment galloped out of the opposite formation, with a golden sword and a black horse, a green armor and black robe, and a majestic tiger head on his left arm, as if he was ready to choose someone and devour, without any fighting intent on his face, but everyone knew that this was the real wind of a general.

Ma Xiu coughed a few times, although there was a surge of qi and blood in his chest, but he had only now encountered a real opponent, compared to Xu Ronglai, those enemy soldiers in Jincheng were simply incomparable.

Fight, or escape? There was only this sentence left in Matthew's mind.

"Major General!" "Major General!" "Major General!" the soldiers behind him said in solemn tones, as if they already knew their fate.

"It's me who I'm sorry for everyone!" Ma Xiu choked up a little, he knew better than anyone that Dong Zhuo had a conflict with his father, and now his life was really not good, he actually met Dong Zhuo's ace army, and he himself had no confidence, let alone the soldiers under him.

Xu Rong naturally saw the number of people brought by Ma Xiu, more than 100 people, and all of them were injured, I don't know how long the fight lasted, if I passed here, then I could return to Fufeng safely.

But Xu Rong wouldn't agree so easily!

"General, a force of more than 1,000 men has appeared in our rear, and it seems that it is Ma Tie, the son of Ma Teng, who has come to meet Ma Xiu!" the herald reported.

Xu Rong said solemnly: "Don't care about the back, now just look at the front, catch Ma Xiu, don't be afraid that you won't be able to hold Han Sui!"

At the sound of an order, seven hundred cavalry gathered momentum, and even the sound of the horse's hooves running was extremely consistent, and the uniform rhythm was as if seven thousand male soldiers were galloping.

Ma Xiu also abandoned all thoughts here, isn't it just a death? He is dead, and there is the second brother Ma Tie, the second brother is dead, and the third brother Ma Chao.

The Ma family has never lacked people, what is lacking is the soul!

"Kill!"
