"Close the gates!" Lin Nan saw Cao Cao and the others approaching quickly, the horses did not stop, and trampled directly from the corpses lying on the ground, and some of the people who were not yet dead were trampled to death by the hordes of cavalry, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the brains were bursting, which was simply miserable.

The city gate was quickly closed, and the people hiding in the city fled to the east gate, and inevitably there was another crowd at the east gate. After a while, there were no more people at the west gate of Baling City.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The people standing on the city wall didn't need to wait for Lin Nan's order at all, so they began to draw their bows and arrows, and shot at the cavalry approaching outside the city.

Lin Nan pulled up a bow, mounted an arrow, aimed at Cao Cao's body, and shot out with one arrow. As soon as the arrow flew out here, another arrow was drawn out over there, and it was shot three times in a row, one arrow followed by one arrow, and the three feather arrows flew towards Cao Cao in the front, middle, and back patterns. And when he was about to shoot the fourth arrow, one of the bows was broken due to the force he used too hard.

Cao Cao held a long lance, saw the arrows flying quickly, and hurriedly used the lance to open one, who knew that just opened one, the second flew over. He was frightened, it was too late to block back with his lance, and he hurriedly leaned back, his back pressed tightly against the saddle, and a second arrow flew in front of him, killing one of the cavalrymen behind him.

He had a false alarm, and just straightened up slightly, not wanting to have a third arrow, he saw the sharp cone-prismatic feather arrow flying over quickly, and the whole person felt a trace of coolness in his bones. shouted, "Zhongkang! ”

It's a pity that Xu Chu has been sent back to Chang'an to recuperate due to a facial injury, and he actually forgot that Xu Chu was not by his side.

Seeing that the arrow was about to shoot at him in the forehead, in danger, Xiahoudun held a big knife and slashed diagonally in the air. The arrow was split in half, but the arrow that had deviated from its direction was still moving, grazing directly past Cao Cao's cheek, and the blood flowed as it landed, leaving a long arrow mark.

Hurt! It hurts to drill the heart!

Cao Cao was bruised in the face by the arrow, and suddenly felt a hot pain on his face, and as soon as he straightened his waist, he saw Lin Nan drop the broken bow on the city wall and change it to another bow. Then he shouted angrily: "Aim at Lin Nan's location and release the arrow for me!" Shoot him! Shoot him! ”

For the first time, Cao Cao roared from the bottom of his heart, and he ran to the side of the road, no longer rushing forward, but retreating beyond the range of the arrows, and after holding the reins of the horse, he raised his lance high. Commanding the soldiers to rush forward, covering their wounded faces with one hand. While shouting hysterically.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren came to Cao Cao's side to escort him, while Xiahou Yuan stopped with a wave of Qiang horses, pulled up his longbow, and shot arrows on his prancing horse, only to hear the bowstring ring five or six times in a row, and five or six arrows were shot at Lin Nan in a row. And the position of the attack is different each time you release the arrow, so the archery is really exquisite.

By Xiahou Yuan's side, Cao Hong leaned over the horse, holding a big knife in his hand, while swinging the arrows that shot down. While hiding in the kick to dodge the arrows that couldn't be slashed, he quickly rushed towards the city gate with a wave of Qiang riders behind him.

Lin Nan saw that the enemy army was divided into two groups, one group of arrows to cover, and the other group quickly rushed over, but for a time the dense arrows covered their defense, and they were defeated in the battle of arrows. More than a dozen people were unable to dodge and were shot in the head by arrows, killing them instantly.

So the people leaned behind the battlements to dodge the dense array of arrows. Feathered arrows flew through the air, through the gaps between the battlements, and shot at the doorboards and pillars of the gatehouse, and in a short time, the dense arrows shot the gatehouse like a hedgehog.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves approached the city wall, but no one dared to show their heads at this stall, as long as they appeared, they were in danger of being shot through by arrows.

Cao Hong rushed to the city wall with five or six hundred Qiang horses, saw that the city gate was closed, they had any siege tools, was thinking hard, suddenly saw that the saddle of the Qiang ride was tied to a noose, and the inspiration moved, and immediately shouted to the Qiang rider behind him: "Use the lasso, throw it on the city wall, climb the wall!" Only in this way can you avenge your Qiang king! ”

After hearing this, many Qiang riders nodded, and retreated their horses partially, looking at this small city, the city wall is not too high, standing on horseback and waving a lasso can definitely lasso the battlements.

So, a large number of Qiang riders lined up, stood straight on the saddle, took out the lasso tied to the saddle, and waved it in the air. The rest of the Qiang riders scattered along the road, jumped off their horses, and began to wield the lasso.

The Qiang people are also a nomadic people, they often herd horses, so they are very skilled in using lasso. Each cavalry is equipped with bows and arrows, sabers, lassos these three things, at this time hundreds of Qiang riders under the cover of dense arrows, surrounded the city of Baling into an oval, began to throw the lasso on the city wall, for a while but saw the long rope flying, like a long snake that swooped up, directly pounced on the city wall.

Lin Nan and the others were leaning on the battlements to avoid the arrows, and suddenly saw the lasso falling from the sky, and they were taken aback.

More than a dozen people were trapped around their necks and cut off directly by ropes.

Lin Nan was also caught in the rope, feeling like he was tied to the battlements, he hurriedly drew his long sword and broke the rope, and the rest followed suit.

At this time, there were 100 Qiang riders who had already begun to climb the city wall, and the rope was suddenly cut, and the people who climbed into the air fell down directly, some broke their bones, some broke their heads and bled blood, and some of their brains burst and died on the spot.

However, the Qiang rider on the side of the city wall climbed up along the lì, biting a saber in his mouth, and once he climbed the city wall, he brandished the saber and rushed towards the city tower above the city gate, and the Qiang people who climbed up were endless.

Seeing this, Lin Nan already knew that the small Baling City could not withstand the torrent of Qiang people, so he immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!" Evacuate to the East Gate! ”

At the sound of an order, everyone hurriedly bowed down to the city tower. They all retreated to the east gate.

At this time, the people had already squeezed out of Baling City, and when Lin Nan retreated halfway, the Qiang people had already opened the city gate, and Cao Hong rode a horse and rushed in first.

Bian Xi and a dozen other people ran over with a team of smeared stones. Seeing the pursuers coming, they placed all the black stones in the middle of the road, and soon paved the road, forming a black barrier.

Seeing this, Cao Hong immediately reined in his horses, watched Lin Nan and the others run out of the city gate, and saw the so-called heavenly thunder bombs paving the road, and couldn't help but think of Naliang's death, and had great fear in his psychology.

The same is true of the rest of the Qiang. Stay there and don't dare to move forward.

Cao Cao rushed over from behind with Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan, and when he saw that the front army was stagnant, he asked people to get out of the way, and came to the front in person, and asked, "Zilian, why don't you continue to chase?" ”

Cao Hong looked timid, pointing to the scattered paving on the road. The black object scattered all over the ground said, "My lord! It was that thing, and it took Naliang's life with a 'boom'. Xu Chu's injury was also caused by that thing, which was really terrible. ”

The rest of the Qiang people were apprehensive, and they all shouted, saying that the black thing was too strong.

Cao Cao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't believe it and rode forward. Approaching the pile of black stones.

"Lord, don't approach, it's dangerous!" Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan hurriedly rode their horses to escort them.

The closer Cao Cao got, the more he saw it, and he smelled a smell of ink. Seeing that the ground was also stained black, he immediately rode forward and stepped directly on the black stone.

"Lord!"

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong all exclaimed.

However, the strange thing is that Cao Cao was unscathed, and there was no sound of response.

"A bunch of rubbish! A pile of blackened stones scared you like this! Give me chase! Cao Cao personally tried the law, waved the lance forward, and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Cao Hong was ashamed for a while, and he was extremely angry in his heart, so he immediately led his troops to rush forward, taking the lead, and swept past Cao Cao's side with a snort, but when he saw a pile of such black objects piled up at the gate of the East City, he was not afraid at this time, he slapped his horse and danced his knife, and quickly rushed over.

However, as soon as the horse's hooves stepped on the black object, there was a loud noise.

"Boom!"

Cao Hong's people and horses were blown apart, the corpse was shattered, the blood was splashed, and after a loud bang, the east gate of Baling City suddenly collapsed, and with a "boom", the city tower fell to the ground, blocking the entire road.

At the moment of the explosion, the huge shock wave turned the person on Cao Cao's side, and even Cao Cao fell off the horse, sitting on a stone with his ass, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that the edges and corners of the stone were impartially aimed at the softest place in the middle of his buttocks, and there was a hot pain in his lower body, and the hard stone was inserted into his anus like that.

"Wow" shouted, Cao Cao couldn't hide the pain of his body and mind, all on his face, the whole face was distorted extremely abstract, as if he had been ravaged by a ghost's hand, and he also witnessed Cao Hong's death, sadness and pain, all the feelings were gathered together, making him extremely uncomfortable, and he shouted: "Hurt me!" ”

Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren couldn't help but cry when they saw Cao Cao, thinking that it was because of Cao Hong's death, they jumped off their horses one after another, and they all wept and said, "My lord...... Please mourn and change ......"

"Quick! Help me up......" Cao Cao's face was uncomfortable, and his lower body was even more uncomfortable.

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren helped Cao Cao up, and they were shocked to find that Cao Cao had a hard stone stuck in the middle of his buttocks.

Cao Cao looked embarrassed, and said angrily: "Look at what!" Pull it out! ”

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Can't pull it out!" It has penetrated deep into the body, and it is necessary to find a doctor, at this time the road is blocked, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch up, and now Zilian is dead, and the lord is injured again, I think it is better to withdraw to Chang'an and then do other things. ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan deeply agreed, and said in unison: "We will second." ”

Cao Cao immediately said: "Zixiao and Miaocai stay, continue to chase Lin Nan, Tongguan is dangerous, he can't cross it, you continue to move forward, you must control Tongguan in the hands of our army, otherwise, Chang'an will be exposed to other people's soldiers." Yuan Jean. You send me back to Chang'an! ”

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren said in unison: "No! ”

Immediately, Xiahoudun asked people to find wooden planks and let Cao Cao go back. Because Cao Cao had a stone stuck in his buttocks, in order to hide his embarrassing appearance, Xiahoudun found clothes to cover it.

Cao Cao pouted his ass and lay on the plank, and he "hummed" in unbearable pain. kept urging Xiahoudun to go back quickly.

Xiahoudun and others carried Cao Cao away, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren ordered people to move away from the boulders blocking the road, the progress was very slow, and they were busy for more than an hour, the road was finally restored and smooth, and Cao Hong's limbs were found, and he was temporarily buried near the Baling Tomb, and the tomb was rebuilt later, and then he began to continue the pursuit.

After Lin Nan and the others safely withdrew from Baling City. The people in front blocked the road, and as a last resort, Lin Nan and the others all rode horses on both sides of the official road, galloped forward quickly, and told the people to find a place to hide from the pursuers.

Because the collapsed city gate successfully blocked the pursuing soldiers for more than an hour, Lin Nan and the others had already withdrawn, overtook the wave of refugees, and went all the way to Tongguan. When passing through Huayin County. Zhu Ping went home and took away a piece of gold and silver in Zhujiazhuang. He also took some rice and distributed the excess rice to the local poor people on the spot, hoping that they would be able to stop the pursuers behind.

All the way to the east, galloping for a day and night, at noon the next day, I met the generals who rushed from the direction of Tongguan, and a tiger general carried a gilded axe. Wearing a steel helmet and steel armor, riding a blue chestnut war horse under his crotch, there is a blue-gray birthmark on his left cheek, which is Xu Huang, the general of the right chariot cavalry of Huaxia Kingdom.

Xu Huang was followed by two generals. One is Zhou Cang, whose face is as black as carbon and whose face is full of beard, and the other is Lin Yang, who has a cold face and a beard, followed by hundreds of cavalry, and the banner of Huaxia is fluttering in the wind, and behind is the infantry who can't see the edge, rolling up a burst of dust.

Seeing each other, Xu Huang hurriedly reined in the horse and ordered to stop advancing, he, Zhou Cang, and Lin Yang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to meet Lin Nan, and knelt down and said: "The minister is too late to save the car, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Lin Nan took the lead, and when he saw Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang and others all appearing here, he felt a burst of surprise and hurriedly asked, "Have you conquered Tongguan?" ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it was Ma Dai who took the initiative to withdraw the army, let us enter the customs, and personally handed over Tongguan to our army. ”

"Ma Dai? Where is he? ”

"Already withdrawn with the army, nowhere to be found."

Lin Nan thought about it and felt that Sima Yi's strategy had indeed worked, so Ma Chao really acted according to the strategy given by Sima Yi. He hurriedly shouted to Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, and Lin Yang: "You all get up, how many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?" ”

"1,000 cavalry, 4,000 infantry, a total of 5,000 people, in addition, General Zhao has also sent troops from Luoyang to support, 10,000 reinforcements will arrive tomorrow." Xu Huang stood up and replied.

Lin Nan said excitedly: "Great, pass the order, the whole army scattered in two places, ambushed on both sides of the mountain road, and prepared to ambush the pursuers." ”

After an order was given, Xu Huang immediately ordered an ambush, four thousand infantry were ambushed on the mountain road on both sides, Xu Huang led a thousand cavalry to the west for nearly five miles, only to arrive at a slightly larger forest that could be ambushed, people and horses wrapped their feet, while pacifying the horses, while cutting down some trees and putting them on both sides of the road, with the help of the branches and leaves of the trees to block them.

Lin Nan asked Zhu Pingping, Liu Yu, Sima Yi and Liu Yu's family, and the entourage who followed all the way from Qin State to the direction of Tongguan, and he and Zhu Gongdao and Bian Xi stayed alone and ambushed in the mountains and forests.

More than an hour later, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren chased after them with their pursuers, and when they saw the narrow and crooked mountain road in front of them, Cao Ren ordered the army to stop, scanned the entire mountain road, and hesitated there.

"Zixiao, Lin Nan has more than 200 people, are you still worried about him in ambush?" Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Ren was so cautious, so he asked.

"This place is too close to Tongguan, and the terrain is dangerous, so it is easy to ambush. If the Huaxia army conquers Tongguan, the army and Lin Nan round, if there is an ambush here, then we will go and have no return, I am just worried about being ambushed. Cao Ren analyzed.

Xiahou Yuan nodded, feeling that what Cao Ren said was favorable. Both of them were generals of Wei who were good at using troops, and they won the trust and favor of Cao Cao.

At this time, two or three Qu Shuai came from the back of the line. Seeing Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan stagnating, he shouted, "Why don't you move forward, what are you looking at here?" ”

Cao Ren said: "The road ahead is dangerous, and there is a fear of ambush. ”

"There are only about 200 people, even if they are ambushed, what can they do? You cowards. Get out of the way for me, and see how powerful we Qiang people are! Qu Shuai scolded loudly.

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was extremely unhappy in his heart, glanced at Na Qu Shuai, pulled Cao Ren to the side, and whispered: "Burning Dangqiang is arrogant, it is better to let them rush in front, we will watch the battle in the back, if there is really an ambush." These Qiang people are dead and a hundred are gone, and if there is no ambush, we will rush forward again. ”

Cao Ren deeply agreed, and immediately made way with his subordinates, allowing those Qu Shuai to lead his subordinates to rush forward.

For a while, the Qiang people's Qu Shuai rushed forward with his subordinates, shouting the slogan of avenging the Qiang king, and rushed over.

Lin Nan crouched behind a rock and saw the Qiang people in front. It has been more than two miles deep into the crooked mountain road, and the Qiang cavalry behind has also come in one after another. He told the heralds and asked them to notify Zhou Cang and Lin Yang, who were in ambush on both sides of the mountain road, in the form of flags, and told them to delay their actions and wait for new orders.

After a while, when the Qiang people were about to drive out of this narrowest mountain road, Lin Nan saw the opportunity. At the sound of an order, the 4,000 soldiers who were lying in ambush threw the rolling stones and logs that had been prepared long ago onto the mountain road, killed and wounded many cavalrymen, and took out their crossbows and shot them. The dense crossbow arrows exerted their great power on this occasion, killing all the more than 5,000 Qiang horsemen in the ambush circle, and none of them ran away.

As soon as Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan saw that the Qiang people were ambushed, they began to retreat with the remaining more than 1,000 Qiang cavalry, and as soon as they were halfway back, Xu Huang carried a gilded axe and 500 cavalry to block the way.

"Xu has been waiting for you for a long time!" Xu Huang held the gilded axe across his chest, and when he saw Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, a fine light appeared in his eyes.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, and immediately shouted at the same time: "Kill out!" ”

The two generals slapped their horses and danced the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards Xu Huang together, and the soldiers behind them followed closely.

Before they could reach the road, the other 500 cavalrymen who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road shot crossbow arrows with their repeater crossbows, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out, killing all the Qiang horsemen on the spot.

Xiahou Yuan held up a spear, Cao Ren danced a big knife, and followed dozens of horsemen behind him, and behind him was a panicked Qiang horseman, rushing towards Xu Huang's side.

"Get out of the way!" Xiahou Yuan shouted, put away a shot and stabbed it out, straight to Xu Huang's throat.

Cao Ren also shouted "Wow, yes", slapped the horse and danced the knife, seeing that he was approaching Xu Huang, he slashed down with a knife.

Xu Huang raised the gilded axe and first swept away Xiahou Yuan's spear, and then held Cao Ren's big knife, and then shouted "Ah", his beard was upside down, and the green tendons on his face jumped up.

"Whew!"

Xu Huang set up Cao Ren's big knife, and the big axe was chopped out, and the two generals of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were not timid, but they played the big axe with a tiger, and it was extremely powerful.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were in a hurry to flee and had no intention of fighting, so when they saw Xu Huang's big axe blocking the way, the two glanced at each other, suddenly galloped in the opposite direction, stepped up the hill, and saw the soldiers coming to resist the enemy, waved a few times, forced away the people who came to resist the enemy, and fled directly.

Xu Huang saw that his subordinates were about to chase, and immediately shouted: "Poor Kou Mo chase!" ”

So, the subordinate cavalry gave up the pursuit, cooperated with Xu Huang to form an encirclement, and fought with the more than 1,000 Qiang cavalry who were surrounded.

Sunset on the West Mountain, twilight is four, the mountain road is sprinkled with blood, staining the land red, the corpses are all over the field in the mountain road, the broken limbs can be seen everywhere, stretching for six miles, more than 6,000 Qiang riders are all killed in this valley.

The sky was about to get dark, Lin Nan, Zhu Gongdao, Bian Xi, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang and others all came to Xu Huang's side, knowing that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren had escaped, they immediately joined forces, took advantage of this momentum, set a strategy of running overnight, and asked Bian Xi to inform Zhao Yun to speed up the march.

With soldiers and generals, Lin Nan no longer retreated, and began a counteroffensive, preparing to rely on this little force to take Chang'an City by surprise.

Lin Nan led Xu Huang and Zhu Gongdao to lead a thousand light cavalry to gallop in front, let Zhou Cang and Lin Yang lead the infantry to follow, and Bian Xi as a guide, advancing westward overnight.

Xu Huang led a hundred cavalry to open the way in front, and Zhu Gongdao escorted Lin Nan and led nine hundred light cavalry to follow behind Xu Huang. Running wildly all night, passing through Huayin, Zheng County, and Xinfeng County, he re-arrived at Baling.

The sky was slightly bright, Lin Nan and the others arrived in front of the east gate of Baling, and when they saw that the road at the east gate was blocked, they thought that it must have been done by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. So they asked them to move away the boulders blocking the road.

In the transportation room, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the south direction, and Ma Chao came with Ma Dai and a group of horse infantry soldiers escorting four carriages.

Lin Nan and Ma Chao were shocked when they saw each other, Lin Nan saw Ma Chao's bloody battle armor, his face was haggard, and he looked tired, and Ma Dai was about the same, and the Ma Bujun behind him was even more exhausted. It's like you've just escaped from death.

Ma Chao saw that Lin Nan's face was pale and his eyes were black, as if he hadn't rested for a long time. But the people around him are very energetic, and they can't help but be a little suspicious.

After a short look at each other, Lin Nan and Ma Chao rode forward one after another, and rode their war horses alone to the middle of the two armies.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't come unharmed?" Lin Nan asked first on horseback.

"Your Majesty, don't come unharmed?" Ma Chao asked rhetorically.

Neither of them answered, and after staring at each other for a long time, they suddenly burst out laughing.

Lin Nan and Ma Chao laughed. The people on both sides were puzzled, and they focused their eyes on them.

"Would you like to go back to Huaxia with me?" Lin Nan once again broke the peace between the two men.

Ma Chao thought for a while. Looking back at the family members behind him and the soldiers who had returned from the fiasco, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He originally took his subordinates to Hanzhong via the Meridian Valley, but he encountered an ambush on the way, and he fought desperately to get out of the siege and was forced to retreat to Baling.

At this time, Lin Nansheng invited him to go to Huaxia. He naturally understood the meaning of this. It's just that he hasn't figured it out yet, is his hard work going to completely collapse today? His dream of being an emperor is gone, and the hatred of the country and family is pressed on his shoulders, that heavy burden. He almost gasped.

Lin Nan saw that Ma Chao was hesitating, so he further said: "Meng Qi, have you forgotten your national enemy and family hatred?" If you want, we can attack all the way to Chang'an now and go to avenge the betrayer of you! ”

When Ma Chao heard the word "revenge", he was stunned, and immediately raised his head, looked at Lin Nan, and saw that Lin Nan's eyes shot a hot gaze, which was enough to make everyone's blood burn. He looked back again, glanced at his family, and finally said, "Good! ”

With a shout, he turned over and jumped off the horse, stuck the Earth Fire Xuanlu Gun on the ground, knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists, bowed his head to Lin Nan and said: "Ma Chao is willing to submit to the command of His Majesty the Great Emperor from now on, and from now on, I am willing to obey the dispatch of His Majesty the Great Emperor, I am a pawn of the horse, and I am willing to clear a qiē obstacle for His Majesty the Great Emperor!" ”

When Lin Nan heard Ma Chao's answer, he was overjoyed at the moment, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, personally helped Ma Chao up, and said happily: "Meng Qi, please get up, I can get Meng Qi, like a tiger with wings, he will calm the world one day, just around the corner!" ”

There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the official road, Zhao Yun was wearing armor and galloped over with a group of cavalry, and there was a long line behind him, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Zhao Yun saw that Lin Nan was holding Ma Chao's hand, and he already knew it, so he immediately rode his horse quickly to Lin Nan's side, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and bowed: "The minister is late for help, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Lin Nan hurriedly picked up Zhao Yun, patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, pointed at Ma Chao and said: "Zilong, from now on, I have one more tiger general, you are not strangers, you were hostile before, from now on you must be closer and closer!" ”

"Ma Mengqi, the minister of the dead country, has seen General Huwei!" Ma Chao took the lead in putting down his worth and bowed to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun also politely replied and said: "I have heard the name of General Ma for a long time, like thunder, and it is really a blessing to be able to be a minister in the same hall today!" ”

After the two of them finished politely exchanging words, Lin Nan immediately asked, "Zilong, how many cavalry did you bring?" ”

"Three thousand cavalry, seven thousand infantry, the infantry arrived later, and when they met Zhou Cang and Lin Yang along the way, they combined the infantry together, and now they are rushing over here." Zhao Yun said.

Lin Nan nodded and said to Ma Chao: "I am going to attack Chang'an now, are you willing to accompany me?" ”

Ma Chao immediately hugged his fists and said: "I can't ask for it!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan laughed, and asked people to hurry up to move the barricades, and after a while, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang, Dian Wu, and Wu Lideng arrived with more than 10,000 infantry. The open space in front of the east gate of the small Baling City was blocked with water.

When the barricades were completely removed, Lin Nan took Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Bian Xi, Zhu Gongdao and 4,000 cavalry as the front, galloping towards Chang'an, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang, Dian Wu, and Wu Li Deng led the infantry to follow, while Ma Dai led Ma Chao's family and the remnants of the defeated army to retreat eastward.

Thereinto. Zhao Yun and Xu Huang each led a hundred horsemen to open the way in front, Bian Xi and Zhu Gongdao escorted Lin Nan to the left and right, and Ma Chao followed closely behind Lin Nan.

Lin Nan had already expected Ma Chao's submission, but he was also very clear about Ma Chao's personality, if it wasn't for the revenge with his strength, how could Ma Chao be obedient. However, since they have been submitted, they must be used. Also be careful.

galloping all the way, galloping for about thirty miles, suddenly heard a horn, the woods on both sides of the road appeared in the black pressure of a group of people, thousands of arrows like a storm towards Lin Nan and others, the road in front of Xiahoudun with cavalry blocked the way, behind Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren cut off the way back, Lin Nan and others were all surrounded in this narrow road. The Qiang cavalry, which was several times larger than the Huaxia army, kept putting arrows for only a short time. Hundreds of people were killed instantly.

Lin Nan glanced at the Qiang people who were in ambush while pushing away the arrows, but saw that the Qiang people were all in good spirits, their faces were full of red light, and they were not tired of fighting at all. He suddenly remembered that the Qiang people still had 200,000 reinforcements coming, just because after occupying Tongguan, they ambushed Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. Carried away by the victory, so much so that he forgot about it.

As soon as he remembered this, he immediately shouted, "Withdraw!" Retreat! ”

Arrows rained down and shot densely towards the Huaxia army, the soldiers wrapped in steel armor. However, it was not completely covered, so many people were injured, and some horses were shot into hedgehogs, resulting in heavy casualties.

At the sound of an order, Zhu Gongdao guarded Lin Nan's side, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang began to turn around and retreat, and Bian Xi used a flying knife to shoot at the enemy non-stop.

Following the advantages of steel armor and steel helmets, the Huaxia army reduced a lot of casualties, but if such a dense rain of arrows did not rush out quickly, I was afraid that sooner or later the whole army would be annihilated.

Seeing that Ma Chao had been ambushed, after turning the horse's head, he immediately roared angrily, like a beast trapped in a cage, and the roar was like thunder, shocking the entire valley. After a roar, Ma Chao stood up to the ground and rode his horse wildly, turned his head and shouted to Lin Nan: "Your Majesty, please follow me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao rode the white war horse and galloped towards the hillside, and the whole person hid under the horse's belly, and no one could see a horse, only a horse that was not riding was galloping.

The Qiang people were shooting non-stop, and when they saw a horse galloping over, they were overjoyed, and some Qiang people couldn't help it, and immediately dropped the bow and arrow in their hands, and waved the lasso, ready to lasso Ma Chao's horse.

It is the nature of the Qiang people to love horses, especially when they see a high-quality horse, they can't put it down, and they can't wait to steal the horse for themselves. Ma Chao's war horse is produced in the Western Regions Dawan country, Dawan horse's noble bloodline, excellent endurance, and amazing running ability have always been loved by the Qiang people, but this kind of war horse is expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have, so this white war horse has appeared, and it immediately attracted the attention of many Qiang people.

"My ...... It's my ......" Many Qiang people gave up archery when they saw the war horses galloping towards them, and it began to become a kind of competition for the noble Dawan horse.

So, there was a commotion on the hillside on the left, the Qiang people, you push me, I push you, the lasso has not thrown out a single one, all for fear of which person will lasso the horse first. After a while, the riot turned into a fist and foot fight, and many people began to scold and use force to solve it, which made the Qiang people chaotic for a while.

On the other side of the hill, Xu Shu was happy when he saw that more than half of Lin Nan's soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and suddenly saw that the Qiang people over there were actually messing up and beating each other, and he couldn't help frowning. When he saw the white horse galloping up the hill at a rapid pace, he felt that the war horse seemed familiar. was about to guess whose war horse it was, when he suddenly saw a person jumping on the back of the horse under the belly of the white horse, and the dress was Ma Chao. He was shocked, and immediately lost his voice and said: "Ma Chao actually took refuge in Lin Nan? ”

Ma Chao's sudden appearance caught those Qiang people competing for horses off guard, and they were all stunned for a while, and more than a dozen people didn't have time to dodge, so they were killed by Ma Chao's spear one after another. The rest of the Qiang people were very scared when they saw Ma Chaoshi, and their heroic appearance was daunting.

"Heavenly ...... General Heaven? ”

There is no Qiang people who do not know Ma Chao, even if they do not know the Qiang kings of various tribes of the Qiang people, they must also know Ma Chao, because Ma Chao's prestige enjoys great fame in the hearts of the Qiang people.

Ma Chao, who was ten years old in the Qiang and was invincible in the northwest at the age of eleven, was named the general of Shenwei Tian by the Qiang people, and immediately caused a sensation as soon as he appeared.

Ma Chao climbed to the highest point of the hillside, killed more than 20 Qiang people in a row, shot his horse horizontally, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I am Ma Chao, you will retreat quickly!" ”

A loud shout resounded throughout the valley, the word Ma Chao was like thunder, and many Qiang people who were holding bows and shooting arrows were stunned, first stunned there for a while, and then scattered in all directions, fleeing one after another, avoiding Ma Chao.

More than 20,000 Qiang people disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xu Shu, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others were also surprised when they saw the Qiang people retreating, they thought that Ma Chao had been discredited, but how did they know that Ma Chao Yu Wei was still there, and the Qiang people were afraid of becoming like this. Seeing that the hundreds of personal generals they brought were exposed under the noses of the Huaxia army, the group fled with the momentum, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Lin Nan witnessed Ma Chao scare away tens of thousands of male soldiers with a loud shout, and he couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help but feel that Ma Chao had the capital to use, and he also felt that Ma Chao was a threat.

Looking back at the valley, the corpses were all over the field, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom were shot in this valley, even men and horses, and he immediately said to Bian Xi: "Go to the front to investigate." ”

Bian Xi said "promise" and left.

The people who stayed behind began to clean up the mess, and Ma Chao came down from the hillside, came to Lin Nan, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Lin Nandao, "Meng Qi's prestige still exists, and he rode alone to retreat from the male soldiers, which really impressed me." ”

Ma Chao said: "It's just borrowing the prestige of the past, and fortunately, these Qiang soldiers are burning Qiang, and they can scare them off when they are leaderless." ”

After a while, Bian Xi went and returned, and came back to say: "The Qiang riding in front is heavy, there are countless people, and at a glance, it stretches to the city of Chang'an, and now it has stagnated. ”

Lin Nan sighed and said: "Attacking Chang'an, losing the fighter, there are so many Qiang people, our army's strength is already too small, plus the lone army is deep, it is easy to have an accident, it is better to retreat to Tongguan for the time being, and slowly figure it out!" The order goes down, the rear team becomes the front team, and the whole army retreats! ”

As soon as Lin Nan and the others retreated, Xu Shu, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren regrouped together, and saw that the Huaxia army had taken away the corpses of the dead soldiers, leaving only blood marks on one place.

"Strategist, the Qiang people are still very scruptuous, with Ma Chao here, I'm afraid that it will be a little difficult to catch Lin Nan." Xiahoudun said first.

Xu Shu said: "At present, the lord, Xu Chu, and Cao Xiu are all injured, Cao Zhen is taking care of them, Lord Xun, Lord Liu, and Lord Man are all taking care of the wounded soldiers, Chang'an City is already in tatters, if we can't take Tongguan with the help of the strength of the Qiang people, and wait until the Qiang people retreat, with our current strength, it will be difficult to attack Tongguan." ”

"What then? With Ma Chao here, the Qiang people will definitely not move forward. But Ma Chao actually took refuge in Lin Nan, which was really unexpected to me. Xiahou said.

Xu Shu thought about it, and glanced back at the Qiang cavalry covering the entire wilderness, from Chang'an City to his location, there were more than 200,000 cavalry, what a huge number, the reinforcements arrived this morning, and the 200,000 cavalry were all in good spirits, but their fear of Ma Chao could not be eliminated in a period of time.
