readx;?? The prince of Liangguo, who was worried about everyone, was extremely grateful to the Mi family for setting aside Xiapi County in Xuzhou as a peaceful area with his own strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Otherwise, he would have nowhere to run after being defeated.
In the battle of Xuzhou, Ma Qing's 5,000 soldiers and horses were only 4,000 men and horses left after the charge and duel with Zang Ba's subordinates, and most of the soldiers and horses were injured. After occupying four cities in the north of Xuzhou, Xu Huang led the army back to the main force, and then planned to break through.
Ma Qing broke through very smoothly, Xu Huang sent his men and horses to run the safest route, Hongze to Lingxian, two hundred miles north of a narrow strip of east-west for the territory of the Pi State, that is, the safety zone, as long as you walk through here can go directly to the north of Xuzhou, bypass the main force of Sun's soldiers and horses, go north to Qingzhou to ask for help from Du Ji, and send Qingliang soldiers to the south to help.
In fact, according to Xu Huang's assumption, Guan Hai attacked from the northeast and Ma Qing from the northwest, and he personally led the main force of troops and horses to the north directly, and the three troops and horses should be able to successfully merge with the reinforcements from the north.
It's a pity that Sun Jian has not been counted, along the Pengze line, Zhou Tai, a general who was born as a thief in Jiujiang, has already led a fleet to be stationed there, and launched a surprise attack on Ma Qing's subordinates in the middle of the road.
One side waits for work, and the other side is tired. One side is good at water warfare, and the other side is dry in the north...... The results of the battle speak for themselves.
Jiangdong water ghost scuttled the big ship with horses in the cabin in Daze, Ma Qing was rescued from the icy river water by Dong Yu in the rain of arrows, and fled all the way north on the road, the arrows behind him were like rain, and the chasing soldiers were like Xu.
After escaping into the border of Xiapi, Ma Qing said that he would not go north at all.
"it! originally thought that the first battle would start in Houqiu after leaving the Xiapi Kingdom, which was Sun Ce's encirclement, who would have thought that there would be an ambush of Zhou Tai on Pengze Lake! Go, where are you going! Don't go! ā
Ma Qing said that he would not leave, and there were only more than 500 people left around him...... He is not a fierce father, 300 people can burn other people's granaries to fight a camp battle.
In terms of knowledge, Ma Shizi, who was cultivated in the whole Liang Kingdom, was no match for any young man in the world, but when it came to courage, the pampered Ma Qing was still a little worse, at least compared to the first generation of the Ma family, he had a lot less outlaw temperament.
So, he didn't go, at least not north.
Even if it is closest to Qingzhou to the north, he will not go.
"Brother, not leaving is not the solution to the problem." Dong jumped to his feet in a hurry, there was the main force of the enemy army in front, and Zhou Tai's pursuers in the back, in his opinion, it was more dangerous to stop than to crash into it, "If you don't go, sooner or later, you will be caught up by Zhou Tai behind, and Xiapi is said to be a peaceful area, but if we collide with Zhou Tai again, do you think this place will not become a battlefield?" ā
No matter who you are, you won't be able to follow the rules!
"The north side is the main force of the enemy's Sun Ce Division, if we meet them in the north, it doesn't take much, two songs, what should you do?" Ma Qing frowned, his expression was rare in Liangzhou, "Do you think it's still the era when your fathers are fighting for life and death?" I was captured or killed, can you imagine how big a blow was to the morale of the soldiers of Xu Qingji and Sanzhou? If you are captured, can you imagine what the soldiers of the southern line of the White Emperor City will think? Fuck this battle is already lost if it doesn't fight! ā
"Don't go north, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, I didn't take a step back when I faced off against Zang Ba!" Ma Qing gritted his teeth, this battle was too aggrieved, the people of Liangzhou who grew up on the grassland fought on Pengze Lake? At this time, Dong Du's spear stabbed him was even more angry, and he pointed to the west and said: "Let's go west, the second brother is over there, gather people and horses, pass through Xiapi from Sun Ce's back, and fight him well on the plain...... Little Overlord? It's in Xuzhou! ā
Dong Yu stopped talking, he just felt aggrieved, and let people scuttle all the battleships on Pengze Lake, and the brave soldiers and the BMW who traveled thousands of miles a day all drowned in that lake...... The people of Liangzhou and the horses of Liangzhou should not die like this!
No one deserves to die like this except for the people of Koto!
No one!
It's in Xuzhou, hey, Dong Yu likes this metaphor.
Therefore, after Ma Qing reorganized his soldiers and horses, he led 400 of his subordinates to the west, leaving Dong Yu and 100 foot soldiers to hide the traces of the soldiers and horses, making the illusion that the large group of men and horses continued to march north, and then followed the large army all the way to the west.
Although moving forward in the territory of Xiapi Kingdom, Ma Qing and the others were also extremely cautious...... He wouldn't have been so worried if he had been given 5,000 men and horses, but they had only 500 men.
What is the concept of 500 people?
In these years, there are more than this number of bandits, not to mention that they are well-armoured, which is like a group of walking gold ingots, which is incomparably tempting to others.
But what really worries them is not the territory of Xiapi, but the other end of the boundary monument.
"Brother, I heard that Brother Bozhan's side is also in full swing, most of the Yanzhou army has invaded Yuzhou, and Yuzhou Liang and Pengcheng have completely become battlefields." Dong Yu walked forward with the hilt of his waist knife, his face was a little worried, and said: "We have to pass through the land of two counties to reach Yuzhou, and we may not be able to see Brother Bozhan, if we meet the army under the banner of Yanzhou first......"
Everyone knows what it means to meet the Yanzhou army with only 500 people.
Ma Qing glanced at Dong Yu, nodded with a composure that did not match his age, and did not speak. But Dong Yu was relieved just because of this nod.
The temperature in Xuzhou has also begun to drop, as Liangzhou people are always used to the cold breath of winter, especially for these soldiers who are far away from home and fighting abroad...... The white breath exhaled on the march always felt familiar to them.
On the long march, Ma Qing suddenly realized that he seemed to be a year older.
Seventeen years ago in the winter, he was born in Longdu with heavy snow, in fact, many things have been destined since birth.
"General, there are a large number of soldiers and horses ahead!" On the march, the sentry in front suddenly galloped back, shouting loudly. "A large number of soldiers and horses in front, under the banner of millet seeds!"
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Ma Qing has already seen it.
"Array! Prepare for defense! ā
In the vast eight-sided flatland, a large number of soldiers with weapons suddenly appeared on all sides, and several millet flags fluttered in the wind.
"Brother, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!" Dong Yu held the arc knife in both hands, no matter where he was facing, he felt uneasy in his heart, there were enemies everywhere on all sides, he didn't know how to defend that side, "What should I do?" ā
Whoever encounters this situation will panic, tens of thousands of troops are ready to fight, not to mention Ma Qing's leadership, even if Huangfu Song is alive, it is difficult to turn defeat into victory in such a situation.
Ma Qing's face was not good, and he closed his eyes for a long time before he made up his mind to gamble, and shouted: "Raise the banner, give me a horse, and I'll talk to them." ā
Now there are five hundred soldiers, and there are only a dozen horses left, all of whom are used on the scouts, but in the end, they are still surrounded by the Mi family's regiments, and it looks like they have crashed into someone else's defensive line.
The scout brought a horse, Ma Qing beat the horse and left, Dong Yu held the reins of the knife and guarded beside him, and behind him, seven or eight soldiers of the Liangguo State whose clothes and armor were covered with blood followed closely with the banner of the horse character.
In this way, the group stood in the middle of the field, Ma Qing paused his mount, and the heavy Da Qi stood behind him with a huge muffled sound.
There was a terrible silence all around.
Ma Qing's face was serious, and he slowly pulled back the hideous beast armor covering his face, revealing a young face with a light breeze.
It's just that the tips of the fingers holding the hilt of the knife are shaking small and fast, and only he can hear the heartbeat of his sturdy breastplate 'thump', and the blood in his whole body is rushing to his mind.
Being pointed at by thousands of spears and coerced by thousands of powerful crossbows, who can still be as calm as water...... What's more, Lao Tzu is only seventeen years old!
At this time, only a command from the other side was needed, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured out, and no matter what resistance Ma Qing had, these five hundred people would be in vain...... An army of 10,000 people can trample these 500 people into pulp with one person and one foot!
After a while, a group of people galloped down the opposite hillside, and to Ma Qing's surprise, the first person on the opposite side was actually a young man who was not much older than himself, holding a spear and running out of the horse, and ran in front of Ma Qing.
"Dare to ask where General Ma is in person?"
Ma Qing smiled secretly in his heart, this grandson is knowingly asking, which Ma generals are there in the world this year? Sanfu has a few surnames of Ma, and the Southern Army of Jingzhou also has a few surnames of Ma, but if you want to talk about generals...... Only General Ma of Liangzhou!
"In Maqing, Xialiangzhou, dare to ask who is the driver, why is it blocking the way of our army?"
Liangzhou Ma Qing!
The eyes of the Mi clan general on the opposite side narrowed slightly, there is only one Liangzhou Ma Qing in the world, and that is the unique son of Liangguo, how noble is his identity...... But look at the moment, the army of the tired army, the ears of the general of the defeated army.
"In Xuzhou Mifang, Xiapi is not a battlefield, whether it is Liangguo or Jiangdong, it has been agreed not to bring the soldiers into Xiapi before, to ensure the peace of the people of Xuzhou, but I don't know why the general led his troops into our county, if there is nothing important, I want to ask the general to go north and leave the county."
Xuzhou Mi Fang, Ma Qing also knows, the second son of the Mi family, with a family fortune of more than 100 million, is good at learning guns and sticks, and it is rumored that he has the courage of a general.
However, what Ma Qing cares more about is his identity as the second son of the Mi family.
He needed a reinforcement army that could besiege and kill Sun Ce's men...... And now, he felt that he was very close to this army.
Aren't the tens of thousands of Mi family's soldiers just them!
Now, it depends on what means are used to make the Mi family, the merchant family, think that the Liang Kingdom is the shell of Huaizhu in this war.
"It turned out to be the second son of the Mi family in person, don't blame it, there are several caravans of the Mi family stationed in Longdu all the year round, and the Mi family and Liangguo are also friends in the business market, so I won't fake it." With a smile on his face, Ma Qing seemed to have taken off his guard, turned over and dismounted and said, "To tell you the truth, five days ago, I still had ten times as many soldiers and horses as I have now, and I was defeated by the Jiangdong people on the shore of Pengze Lake...... So, you see, now I only have 500 people, and I want to borrow the road from Xiapi to Yuzhou. ā
Speaking of this, Ma Qing smiled slyly, looked at Mi Fang, who turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Isn't the second prince going to let him go down to the house to rest for a while and wash off the dust on his body?" ā
