Chapter 39: Pride and arrogance

"General, our sentences are true, more than 2,000 Xianbei cavalry entered the city from the east gate, the general from the south gate will be blocked by the fleeing people, and the Xianbei back road from the east gate can make it chaotic."

The middle-aged general who straddled the horse waved his hand arrogantly, and the Han cavalry had surrounded Ma Yue and others, and hundreds of strong crossbows were aimed at everyone, waiting for an order to pierce the heart of ten thousand arrows.

The general held his chin high, pursed his lips and looked at Ma Yue and the others who bowed down from the horse with the whites of his eyes, and said: "How can you be gullible in the words of other races, you can know the right and wrong, and you can know it by sentry riding, and you don't want to say more." ”

Ma Yue, who had fallen to the ground, clenched his fists in the sand, he had never had so many crossbows pointed at him, nor had he been surrounded by so many cavalry. But there was no fear in his heart at this time, only anger. It was the Han army that surrounded him. The one who pointed at him with a bow and crossbow was also a Han army. Outside this Yanmen Pass, he led people to ambush and kill countless Xianbei people, and he also killed many people in Liangzhou. It is understandable that he was hunted down by Xianbei, and he was forced to snipe the Han assassins during the trip to the Western Regions because of Wei He's hatred, and he can understand that the hatred between the Han and foreign tribes for hundreds of years has been unforgettable.

But at this moment, his heartfelt words were exchanged for everyone kneeling on the ground and being pointed at by the bow and crossbow, and the arm on the handle at the other end of the bow belonged to the Han people who did not have a trace of new hatred and old hatred.

After a while, the sentry cavalry scattered out of the dust reported: "General, tents are scattered at the four gates, people have escaped from the three gates of the southwest and north, and the Xianbei people have entered the city from the east gate." ”

Immediately, the general bowed his head slightly, raised one arm, and hundreds of Han horsemen collected their bows and crossbows in unison as if they were a whole.

"Hmph, you're right, step aside. The whole army listened to the order, entered the city at the east gate, and attacked Xianbei with me! ”

As soon as everyone retreated, the Han cavalry army had already urged the horses to rush towards the east gate, and the war horses raised dust so that Ma Yue and the others who were hurriedly dodging on the side were covered with sand. After the rolling dust, the Han army had long since gone, and only Ma Yue and others stood in place in the empty wilderness.

Guan Yu squinted his slender eyes, his face full of frost. Ma Yue gritted his teeth and almost cried out with grievances, and all the Qiang men also blushed and gritted their teeth.

Cheng Huan said angrily: "Even if Xianbei fights to the death, it is happier than being raised by this son of a bitch." ”

Ma Yu put his hands on the shoulders of Cheng Huan and Guan Yu, and smiled at Ma Yue: "Brother's words are wrong, let those bastards go to the matter of sending them to death, we will enter the city from the south gate and help Brother Ma." ”

And the state Han cavalry from the east gate straight to take the Xianbei back road, Ma Yue and others into the south gate straight to the city battlefield, behind the sudden Han army heavy cavalry impact of the Xianbei soldiers almost a touch of the collapse, have scattered and fled into the city lane, the battle situation turned instantly, the Xianbei cavalry who had been sure to win the ticket was surrounded and intercepted in the city lane, killed to lose the armor, in the end only nearly 100 iron armor guards escorted Putou from the north gate to escape from Luo County, the remaining 4,000 Xianbei people who attacked the city except for a few scattered escaped, nearly 3,000 people all died in the city.

The curse of Ma Yue and others did not take effect in the end, and the Xianbei was defeated, and the proud general with less than enough to live in the county government with his subordinates, and eight hundred iron cavalry kicked into the military camp in the north of the city.

The name of the proud general is Lu Liang.

When Ma Yue learned the news, he didn't care about it, and among the wounded soldiers after the war, Ma Yue found Ma Teng and others, and the joy of reuniting with his brother was enough to make him not care about the previous humiliation.

It's not a shame, in fact, after seeing the indomitable charge and heroic tactics of those ironclad cavalry, as well as their powerful combat capabilities, Ma Yue couldn't tell how much resentment he still had in his heart.

People are always like this, and when the difference in strength is too big, most of them will lose the spirit of confrontation.

It is said that there were few casualties, except for a few knights who unfortunately fell from their horses and died of serious injuries. Their equipment is too luxurious, and it can be called the best in this steel age. The bronze sabers of the Xianbei people could not cut through their finely forged armor at all, and they did not have to worry about protection at all, and the Xianbei people were as weak and powerless as the Han villagers in the city when they faced the resistance of the Xianbei ironclad guards.

When the strong crossbow volley shot through the body of the Xianbei cavalry from the rear, they fell in pieces like wheat that had been cut down, and most of the Xianbei people had already fallen before they could meet each other.

This is an unequal battle, or rather a slaughter. Ma Yue couldn't help but wonder about the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei people, how could such a weak enemy almost completely annihilate 30,000 Han troops?

Ma Yue didn't know that these 800 iron cavalry were not the regular army of the Han Dynasty, but the Assassin Shi Ding Yuan who had spent several years armed with countless gold and silver, and they were also elite soldiers in the world. This time, Lu Liang risked killing his head and led the troops out of the customs for selfish desires, not Ding Yuan's intentions.

His in-laws are in this Luo County, and he can't help it.

He and Ding Yuan are brothers with different surnames, but this time he sent troops without asking Ding Yuan for instructions.

All this is no longer important, the important thing is that Ma Yue has seen his brother. The cheers of the people in the city who escaped death did not gradually subside until night, and General Lu Liang of the military camp in the north of the city was comforting his brothers who had traveled thousands of miles for him with sumptuous wine.

Ma Teng said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, General Lu is a good hand in training, but he is worse in battle." This is a war, not a campaign, the Xianbei people may counterattack at any time, and we must get out of here quickly. ”

Everyone left under the leadership of Ma Teng, and even if Ma Teng's small team ended the journey, Ma Yue no longer had the greatest right to speak, and with Ma Teng here, he was not the leader of the team.

As soon as it got dark that night, Ma Teng and the others left the ruined county town for which they had fought to the death and set out on their way home. The word "home" is the only belief that sustains them in these days to keep themselves from falling, and their loved ones at home are still waiting for them to return. Originally, when the team of thirty people arrived in Luo County, there were eighteen people, but now with Ma Teng and others, the team of Qiang men brought out by Cheng Yin has become more than sixty people, fortunately, there are enough horses, if the road is smooth, they can rush to Yanmen Pass in just two days.

They are gone, and the suffering that belongs to Luo County is not over. On the third hour after Ma Teng and the others left, Pu Tou, who escaped from Luo County, took his brother Xianbei Lord Budugen and 5,000 Xianbei cavalry to make a comeback in the early morning, and the city's Bingzhou Xiao cavalry all drank, and the entire county was in a state of defenseless, Luo County was trampled by Xianbei's iron cavalry again, and General Lu Liang, who woke up in a hangover, only had time to put on his armor and escaped from Luo County with the elite iron cavalry and his in-laws.

More than 10,000 people in the city became lambs to be slaughtered, and Pu Tou, who was defeated, commanded the soldiers to burn, kill, loot and close the four city gates, and Luo County turned into hell on earth in an instant...
