Waves of arrows fell, and Ma Chao and the others were unscathed, but the wooden shield was covered with arrows.

Seeing that the men on the high slope had lost their ability to counterattack, Wumeng Hu thought that he should shoot a lot of death, so he commanded the cavalry to gallop upwards and temporarily stopped the attack of arrows, so as not to injure his own people by mistake.

At the same time, the Qiang cavalry that kept coming was densely assembled here, looking down from the high slope, stretching out a long distance, a group of people who were pressed by black, this kind of soldier's appearance, very spectacular. The cavalry coming from behind could not approach the high slope, so they could only stare there, allowing those who rushed in front to fight.

Ma Chao and others saw that the rain of arrows stopped, and immediately let people turn over the shield, first discarded on the ground, pulled the bow and opened the arrows, and shot towards the cavalry who were about to climb the high slope, these people's arrows were very accurate, and some could even penetrate two people with an arrow, once the arrows were released, but the Qiang cavalry that rushed to the middle slope was suppressed, and they turned over and fell off the horse one by one, and the horses fled backwards when they saw that the master was dead, and some stopped and stood there.

Seeing this, Wumeng Hu had no choice but to withdraw the attacking cavalry, because of the difficulty of the horses climbing on this steep slope, the slightest carelessness is that the person turned over on his back, so it really made the Qiang people spend a lot of effort.

"Shoot! Shoot me again! Their arrows are limited, and they spend it! I don't believe they can hold out for half an hour! Wumenghu picked up his saber again and shouted loudly.

When Ma Chao heard this, he ordered his subordinates to take down the arrows that had been shot at the wooden shield before, and then raised the wooden shield to gather the arrows together again and take protective measures.

Another wave of arrows rained down from the sky, and the people under the wooden shield were well hidden, and no one was injured or injured, and even the horses were gathered together by them, and protective measures were taken around the stables to block the intrusion of arrows.

throughout the camp. It was full of arrows, densely packed, and in a short time, there were tens of thousands of arrows.

Because continuous shooting was too laborious, the Qiang people in the front row also looked tired, and their arms were a little sore. The density of Cheng dù has gradually weakened.

Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Rocket preparation!" ”

At the sound of an order, the three hundred cavalry took turns to the campfire in the camp, lit the arrows that had already been tied, and when the three hundred men were all finished, they carried the wooden shield on their backs, and after Ma Chao's order, they turned around at the same time and began to counterattack at the risk of the enemy's arrows. Arrows were fired into the dense crowd of Qiang.

Immediately afterward, there was a scream, many people fell from their horses, and the sporadic fires began to fight back from time to time towards the dense crowd of Qiang people.

However, two or three more wolf cavalrymen were not careful enough at the moment of turning, and as a result, they were shot in the body by arrows, and although they were bleeding profusely, they still insisted on fighting. In the end, there really wasn't much chance to fight back. One by one, they collected the arrows on the ground and jumped into the campfire with them. After burning all over his body, he rushed forward from the high slope.

Such a scene made Ma Chao and all the Qiang people not expect that this spirit of fighting to the death is the true essence of the wolf cavalry, only asking where the enemy is, not how many enemies there are. Till death rests.

On the open battlefield, the three wolf cavalrymen endured the intense burning pain, rushed into the group of Qiang people, pierced the bodies of one or two people with bundles of arrows in their hands, and held a Qiang cavalryman to death. The fire ignited the Qiang cavalry, and the horse that sat down was also burned and ran wildly, alarming more than 100 Qiang people around to dodge.

However, because it was too crowded, they couldn't dodge, and the fire spread together, but spread the people around them, and everyone dismounted and slapped the fire burning on their bodies, and there was chaos under the high slope for a while.

Ma Chao saw the opportunity, and immediately shouted: "Push all the bonfires down, take advantage of the chaos of the Qiang people at this moment, stop shooting, pull out all the war horses, and rush out with me!" ”

The two hundred and ninety-seven wolf cavalry acted according to Ma Chao's orders, first pushing down the bonfire, and then shooting sporadic rockets one after another, causing the Qiang people to add to the chaos.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was holding a spear and wearing a steel knife at their waists, turned over on their horses, and followed Ma Chao and began to dive downward!

"Get out!"

Ma Chao took the lead, took the lead, and rushed down the high slope with all the cavalry, the advantage of the swoop, coupled with the impact of the horses, and the courage of everyone to see death as home, once he rushed into the chaos of the Qiang people, the momentum was like a bamboo, and a big hole was torn in the encirclement of the Qiang people!

Ma Chao's spear trembled, the wolf cavalry behind him did not show weakness, the spear was like a forest, the fast horse galloped, coupled with the Qiang people's fear of Ma Chao, many Qiang people did not dare to fight, they retreated without a fight, but they did not retreat far, people crowded, people were by people, horses collided with each other, thousands of troops and horses suddenly a large area of chaos, Qiang people cried, roared, horses made a long neighing scream, after being rushed in by this small force, the command was out of order.

"Block! Obstruct! Block them! Wumenghu kept screaming loudly, and wanted to rush over with his men, but he was pushed aside by the soldiers from there. He stood in the wrong position, far away from Ma Chao and the others, and could only watch Ma Chao rush left and right among the Qiang people.

And the Qiang people's fear of Ma Chao made them even more courageous to Ma Chao and others.

After a while, Ma Chao led 297 wolf cavalry to successfully break through from the encirclement of the Qiang people, without casualty or a single soldier, and retreated all the way to the east.

"Chase! Give me chase! Wumeng Tiger shouted, "Hugh is leaving, Ma Chao!" ”

As a result, thousands of Qiang people began to chase Ma Chao and others towards the east.

When Uld led the army to arrive, Wumeng Hu had already led people to chase Ma Chao, and he couldn't help but scold: "Wumeng Tiger waste! 10,000 people have to go to the front, but they can't resist 300 people! Command the ministries to chase me over! Kill Ma Chao, this king named him the deputy king of Qiang! ”

The order spread everywhere, and the temptation of the deputy Qiang king made everyone move forward bravely, and the 90,000 army scattered in all directions, covering the sky, rolling up bursts of sand and dust, on the loess plateau with thousands of ravines, but saw that the cavalry of the Qiang people was all over the mountains.

Ma Chao saw 100,000 Qiang people chasing after him, and a smile appeared on his face.

Galloping all the way to the east, galloping for almost ten miles, Ma Chao shouted to his subordinates: "Blow the horn." Signal! ”

The whimpering horn sounded suddenly, melodious and far-reaching, spreading everywhere!

Ma Chao and the others reined in their horses, turned their horses' heads, climbed a high slope, and shouted to their subordinates: "Soldiers! Now is the time to show your courage. After a while, our reinforcements will arrive, and the emperor will personally march with an army of 300,000, in this battle, we will completely defeat the Qiang people and kill me! ”

Ma Chao's shout, saying that Lin Nan's words of leading an army of 300,000 to march in person were just a means to boost morale.

But it did work, and the two hundred and ninety-seven wolf cavalrymen all shouted the strongest voice at this time from the bottom of their hearts. Following Ma Chao, he rushed towards the overwhelming Qiang cavalry.

Ma Chao and others are like a flat boat in a big river, but it is such a flat boat, once it rushed into the cavalry group of the Qiang people, but in the cavalry of the Qiang people, they rode the wind and waves, and the dead bodies were everywhere they went. was afraid of Ma Chao again, and fell into chaos again.

Wumeng Tiger rushed from the rear army. Seeing Ma Chao galloping invincible in the front army, he immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid!" No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is only one person, the whole army goes up together, and kills him, the king said, kill Ma Chao. It's the second king, give me arrows! ”

To be honest, Wumenghu was also afraid of Ma Chao, so he kept hiding behind and letting his subordinates rush in front. But. There are not a few people who have the same psychology as Wumenghu, and for a while, the Qiang people quickly fled around, preparing to distance themselves from Ma Chao and others, and meet the enemy with bows and arrows.

Ma Chao is not stupid, with the wolf cavalry of nearly 300 people, he bit the Qiang people tightly, followed behind the Qiang people, but not blindly followed, but chased and killed for a while to pursue another group, and so on, galloping among the Qiang people, from east to west, through the entire battlefield, and then from south to north, a random collision without discipline, completely scattered the Qiang people, so that they could not gather together, you can prevent the Qiang people from forming a dense rain of arrows.

The number of Qiang people falling off the horse is increasing, but there is no way to take Ma Chao, and finally part of the Qiang people are pulling more and more open, and the sparse ones cannot gather together, or dozens of people in a team, or more than 100 people standing together. It is precisely because the battlefield is getting bigger and bigger that the Qiang people can gather on the periphery, and there is a great move to gather together and organize a rain of arrows.

Seeing this, Ma Chao divided the cavalry into four teams, three of which were one team of fifty people, and Ma Chao led the remaining hundred cavalry to charge in different directions. He went straight to Wumenghu, rampage all the way, the guns were heavy, and the Qiang people who were stabbed off the horse by Ma Chao and others surged. After that, Ma Chao successively divided two teams of fifty people, each heading in different directions, and he himself took forty-seven cavalrymen and headed towards Wumenghu.

According to Ma Chao's strategy, the five cavalry teams of fifty people who were divided into five teams, one for each team of ten people, rushed in different directions. After a while, the superior effect of the division of troops was highlighted, and the cavalry team of less than 300 people actually disrupted the Qiang cavalry of up to 7,000 people.

The front of the entire Qiang people was a pot of porridge, Wumenghu was completely stunned, seeing this scene, no matter how he shouted, it was useless, and the Qiang people were completely scattered, like a plate of loose sand.

Just when he was still worrying about what to do, suddenly the hundreds of cavalry on the flank were in a panic, he turned his head to look, but saw that Ma Chao with dozens of cavalry did not know when to kill him, the cavalry on the flank was terrified of Ma Chao, and all of them were scattered, directly exposing Wumenghu to the threat of Ma Chao.

When Wumeng Hu saw Ma Chao rushing over, he was also panicked, and immediately turned his horse's head and retreated backwards.

Unbeknownst to him, Ould led the army to kill, and the two armies met and collided with each other, but knocked Wumeng Hu off his horse.

On the silver-gray earth, a red spear flashed, Wumenghu only felt a cold vest, and at the same time, a sharp pain spread all over his body, and the head of the spear with sticky blood just leaked out of his heart, he screamed and died instantly.

"Huh!"

Ma Chao pulled out the long sword in his waist, a sword as fast as lightning, cut off the head of Wumenghu, held it in his hand, rushed up a high slope, and shouted loudly: "Who else?" ”

The roar was like thunder, rolling into their ears, and the Qiang people saw that the first warrior of Xianlingqiang, Wumenghu, was dead, and they were all afraid, and even Ould was panicked, and hurriedly let his subordinates restrain their horses. He was afraid of Ma Chao.

At this moment, a roaring sound came from the earth, and on the north and south sides of this high slope, billowing sand and dust were raised at the same time, covering the sky and the moon from afar. And the ground also shook for it, and the momentum was so great that every Qiang person present was frightened.

Ma Chao also felt a little strange, it stands to reason that he only had an ambush of 200 cavalry, and even if he used his strategy, it would be impossible to create such a grand momentum. Although puzzled, he saw this instantaneous change, and shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are coming!" The emperor drove the expedition in person. I came with an army of 300,000, soldiers, kill me! Kill the king of Qiang, the emperor will crown him as the marquis of ten thousand households! ”

When the other two hundred wolf cavalrymen scattered under the high slope and still clashing back and forth heard this, they shouted loudly at the same time, and the shouts gradually came closer together, twisted into a force, and headed towards the place where the king of Qiang Ouerde was. He rushed over. Ma Chao also swooped down at this time and went straight to Ould.

Ould heard that Ma Chao said that reinforcements were coming. Seeing the grandeur of the north and south sides, and his subordinates had already been in chaos, plus Ma Chao was unstoppable, he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

At the sound of an order, the Qiang cavalry ran more and more block one by one, and scrambled to retreat. Everyone is afraid of being left behind.

After only a short while, more than 90,000 Qiang cavalry returned.

Ma Chao chased for two or three miles, and after beheading more than 200 people, he stopped the pursuit. At the same time, Wang Shuang and other cavalry who had been ambushed also rushed over. Gathered together, there were more than 6,000 people.

After two glances, Ma Chao rode his horse and galloped in front of Wang Shuang, and asked, "Where did you get so many soldiers?" ”

Wang Shuangdao: "General, it's not me, it's General Pang who sent them here to let them pick us up in the back." In addition, the last general did not use the fire ox array according to the general's wishes, for fear of attracting attention at night, and asked the general to punish him. ”

"What did you do? If you hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that I would have been surrounded by the Qiang people, and I would have died sooner or later. ”

"Thank you, General. General, Emperor...... The emperor has personally conquered and has now arrived in Linrong City. This is the emperor's edict, please take a look at it! Wang Shuang took out a note as he said and handed it to Ma Chao.

After reading it, Ma Chao nodded, and said to Wang Shuang and the other three captains who came with the troops: "The emperor's order, let you all obey my orders, we are the emperor's vanguard army, and now the Qiang people have just retreated, take advantage of the situation when they can't distinguish the true from the fake, take advantage of the situation to kill the past, kill into the Lingwu Valley, and burn their station." ”

"General, isn't this too hasty? There are only more than 6,000 of us, and there are 200,000 Qiang people! A lieutenant reminded.

Ma Chao said with a smile: "I am not afraid of dealing with 100,000 Qiang people with 300 cavalry, but now I have more than 6,000 people, only 230,000 people, what is there to fear?" It's all cowards left, in my Ma Chao's team, as long as warriors, don't cowards! ”

As soon as the voice fell, no one said anything more.

Ma Chao continued: "Since everyone doesn't speak, it means that you are willing to follow me to rush and kill together, then, you all have to obey my dispatch, and I will kill anyone who disobeys the dispatch!" I heard that you are all the old troops of General Huya, and you are an elite wolf cavalry. In that case, let your wolf nature completely explode tonight, and come with me to sack the Qiang garrison. ”

"Mighty! "The fighting spirit of all the people was stimulated, and the six thousand four hundred and ninety-seven cavalry shouted loudly in unison.

So, Ma Chao led them to chase along the direction of the rout of the Qiang people, and some branches continued to be tied behind each war horse, and after they were lined up, the scene looked very spectacular from a distance.

In the ordinary day, Ould had just returned to Lingwu Valley with the army, and the Tanma behind him rushed to report, saying that he saw Ma Chao personally leading five hundred cavalry as the front, and Ma Chao was not far away, that is, the cavalry of the overwhelming Huaxia Kingdom, like a gust of wind, rolled up the sand and dust on the Loess Plateau, and could not see the end at a glance, and was chasing in this direction.

When Ould heard this, he was anxious at the moment, thinking that Ma Chao was too powerful, worthy of being General Shenweitian. In a panic, he hurriedly ordered all the tribes to evacuate from Lingwu Valley and retreat to Helan Mountain, preparing to temporarily avoid the edge.

As soon as Ould's order was issued, the Qiang people in Lingwu Valley immediately panicked, carrying horses, pulling cattle and sheep, and dragging their families to Helan Mountain, but the road up the mountain was relatively rough, so that the road blocked the road, and finally had to travel lightly, leaving the cattle, sheep, horses, and some useless things all at the bottom of the mountain. This made the road up the mountain smoother.

At the same time, Liu Ye also received an urgent document, which stated that Guo Jia led a 20,000-strong Xiongnu cavalry team to capture the county seat of Beidi County, and asked him to borrow troops from Xian Lingqiang to recover Beidi.

However, at this time, it is difficult to protect Ling Qiang himself, where is there any effort to pay attention to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye found Ould. Immediately said: "The king is in such a hurry, don't you feel a little suspicious?" I heard rumors that the emperor of Huaxia led an army of 300,000 to conquer in person, but as far as I know, if Huaxia wants to mobilize such a huge army, it will take some time, I think the rumors are not credible, even if Ma Chao really comes with a large number of cavalry, as long as he guards Lingwu Valley. can block Ma Chao's way, and he won't all run on Helan Mountain......"

"Get out of here! It's all because of you! Go back to Chang'an and sue your emperor Cao Cao, this king is gone! Ould has long been impatient, he is very afraid of Ma Chao, if it wasn't for Ma Chao to help burn Dangqiang, he wouldn't have come here first, although he kept convincing himself last night that Ma Chao was not terrible. But when he saw Ma Chao kill Wumeng Tiger with his own eyes, he was terrified.

Liu Ye looked surprised. I didn't expect Uuld to regret it. Before he could say something, the two Qiang warriors drove him aside and watched as Urd ascended Helan Mountain......

Looking at Ouerde's distant back, Liu Ye knew that things were messed up, and hundreds of thousands of people in front of him were scrambling to go up the mountain, and he sighed heavily. Turned around and left the place gloomily.

An hour later, Ma Chao led Wang Shuang and five hundred cavalry to arrive first, and when they arrived at Lingwu Valley, the Xianlingqiang people had already all gone up to Helan Mountain, and the entire Lingwu Valley was empty. The ground was even more of a mess.

Ma Chao climbed to a high place and looked out of thin air, but saw herds of cattle and sheep at the entrance of the mountain road leading to Helan Mountain, piles of horses, and some herdsmen who had been trampled to death, and he already knew it. Immediately said with a smile: "First Lingqiang went to Helan Mountain, and this is in my arms." Wang Shuang! ”

"The last general!" Wang Shuang can hold his fists.

Ma Chao shouted: "You can take people to block all the main roads in and out of Helan Mountain, and bring those cattle, sheep, horses, and all the sundries back to Lingwu Valley, I want to surround the mountain!" ”

Wang Shuang responded, turned to leave, just as the two thousand cavalry behind arrived, and when the order was conveyed, he went to the mountain road into the mountain, drove all the cattle, sheep, and horses back to the Lingwu Valley, and moved away the pots and pans, clothes and other sundries, and quickly blocked the mountain road.

Ma Chao divided another 4,000 cavalry to circle around Helan Mountain, and if there was a road out of the mountain, it would be blocked, and martial law would be imposed within a radius of dozens of miles.

The action under the mountain had already been reported to Urde by the Qiang people, and they saw the number of Ma Chao's troops. After hearing this, Ould was very remorseful, regretting that he didn't listen to Liu Ye's words and guard Lingwu Valley. He immediately ordered to go down, taking advantage of Ma Chao's unstable foothold, to recapture Lingwu Valley.

As a result, tens of thousands of Qiang people began to rush down the mountain from the mountain.

Wang Shuang led 2,000 men to seal the main road down the mountain, scattered all the soldiers on both sides of the road, and saw the Qiang counterattack, and also counterattacked. Due to the narrowness of the mountain road, the number of soldiers that could accommodate it was limited, which undoubtedly caused great confusion to the Qiang people, although there were two or three hundred thousand people, but all of them were blocked on the mountain, and because of the hurry of walking, many people did not even bring bows and arrows.

The Qiang attempted several charges, but they failed, and were finally forced to retreat back to the mountains.

At dusk, the Qiang people pushed down the boulder from the mountain, wanting to use this to break away a road, although this strategy was good, but in the face of Wang Shuang and others who were mainly defensive, they were completely immune, the boulder rolled down from the mountain road, stumbling and hitting many stones, and when they arrived at the feet of Wang Shuang and others, it was already a pile of small stones. As a result, more and more stones piled up, and the exit was blocked.

The Qiang people did bad things with good intentions, and lifted stones and shot themselves in the foot, but in vain, and the night had already fallen, and they were tired and hungry at this time, so they stopped charging down the mountain, and stopped on the mountain and raised piles of bonfires, ready to spend the night.

For a time, Helan Mountain was lit by piles of bonfires like daylight, and more than 300,000 Qiang people gathered in a palm-sized place, which was called a squeeze.

The tired and hungry Qiang people began to form a group to hunt in the depths of Helan Mountain, and find caves to spend the night, and for a time tens of thousands of Qiang warriors went deep into the depths of Helan Mountain.

The Qiang people who remained gathered around the campfire, and could only starve. Some herders brought food and took it out to roast and eat it, but it attracted onlookers. When the meat is cooked, it causes a fight, and the herdsmen fight for a bite to eat, fighting, and even fighting for their lives. Time. The riots continued, and Urde, as the king of Qiang, couldn't control it, so he had to turn a blind eye and let it pass.

The night was deep, and from the depths of Helan Mountain, the screams of people and the wails of fierce beasts continued to come out, which was a contest between humans and beasts, and a long dragon composed of a little fire wandered in the depths of Helan Mountain. Just hunting in the middle of the night, obviously there are too many disadvantages. The warriors of the Qiang people were in groups of three or five, four or six, and went deep into the depths of Helan Mountain little by little.

The roar of the tiger, the howl of the wolf and the chirping of many animals are particularly clear at this moment, and the size of Helan Mountain is also beyond the imagination of the Qiang people, because the beasts are more afraid of fire, so most of the beasts have hid in the deeper mountain forest. So much so that tens of thousands of people went hunting, but very little prey was hunted. More than an hour later. Hundreds of Qiang people came back with their prey first, and the rest of them continued to hunt in the deep mountains and old forests, chasing fierce beasts. Gradually, the sound could not be heard, even the fire dragon could not be seen, and only a halo could be seen under the mountain peak over there.

Ould sat there. After waiting for a long time, I can finally have a full meal, and the prey brought back by hundreds of people is eaten by the nobles first, but these things, once separated. There is very little to be shared by everyone.

Remembering that he was still in Lingwu Valley last night, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl, Ould's nose was sour, this gap is simply heaven and earth. He was also thinking about why he was afraid when he saw Ma Chao. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, and I was a little sleepy, so I fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, most of the Qiang people have found a place to live in the mountains, and there are many large and small caves in the mountains, which were originally caves for various animals, but once such a huge Qiang people arrived, those wild beasts could only avoid and flee in all directions. After some cleaning and cleaning, this was able to live in.

Regardless of whether these Qiang people ate or not, anyway, at this point, they all fell asleep, and even the sentry lost its meaning.

There was no moonlight tonight, the night was dark, just after the ugly hour, most of the bonfires had lost fuel and went out of their own accord, and the most heard on the whole mountain was the sound of snoring and hungry "grunting". However, no one noticed that a group of black shadows had moved a small crack in the road blocked by the big stone below the mountain, and quietly went up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.

At the third moment, the black shadows of the group of 5,000 people launched an attack on the Qiang people at the same time, and in an instant, the heads of the 5,000 people broke away from their bodies in their sleep.

Ma Chao is dressed in silver light, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark night, silver helmet, silver armor, red spear, in such a night, it looks like a ghost from hell. In fact, he did come with five thousand soldiers to claim his life.

In just a few seconds, the second wave of 5,000 heads broke away from the body, and when everyone cautiously began to kill the third wave, a Qiang man who had gotten up at night to go to the thatched house suddenly saw this scene and shouted.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack ......"

Before the Qiang man could scream a third time, a human head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out and sprinkled all over the ground.

Immediately afterward, a whimpering horn sounded, waking up the sleeping Qiang people.

At the same time, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others began a frenzied killing, among the Qiang people, using the Qiang people's kung fu to return to their senses, they successively beheaded 10,000 heads, harvesting the heads of this group of Qiang people, and for a time the corpses were all over the field, and the blood was all over the earth.

Suddenly attacked, the Qiang people quickly launched a counterattack, but unfortunately in the dark, can not see who the other party is, coupled with the lack of weapons, the elite troops went deep into the mountains and forests to hunt and did not return, so that by Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and other 5,000 people stirred up a pot of porridge, the Qiang people began to flee in all directions, panicked, many Qiang people fell into the valley, or the stone was tripped and fell, and fell on the stone, and died with a whimper. There were also people who rolled straight down the mountain, and under the obstruction of layers of stones, they fell in excruciating pain and paralyzed their bodies.

For a time, there was mourning on Helan Mountain.

Ma Chao was killing frantically, when he suddenly bumped into Ourd, the king of Qiang, cut down several of Ould's guards, stretched out his long arms, and directly grabbed Ourd. After arresting the bandit leader, Ma Chao was good to see it, for fear that it would backfire if he forced the Qiang people to be anxious. Immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Under an order, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others retreated one after another, and the Qiang people suffered a catastrophe and suffered this hardship. I don't know how many enemies have come, and I don't dare to pursue them rashly.

Half an hour later, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others arrived safely in Lingwu Valley, without losing a single soldier, and the 1,000 soldiers guarding at the foot of the mountain hurriedly blocked the road.

In Lingwu Valley, the lights are bright. Ma Chao sat in the largest cave with his armor removed, glanced at Ulde, who looked frightened, then smiled and said, "Ulde, do you know me?" ”

"Recognize ...... Know...... The Heavenly General is famous, why don't I know him? Ould said timidly.

"Since you know me, why don't you come and surrender when you see me? Resist me instead? I have no choice but to arrest you personally and ask for the guilt! ”

"I ...... I am bewitched by others, not my will, how dare I be the enemy of the Heavenly General? ”

"But you did it anyway. Today I will capture you and give you two ways to go, one is to lead all your people to submit to me, and the other is to ...... you."

Ould was very afraid of Ma Chao and didn't wait for Ma Chao to finish speaking. He hurriedly replied: "I'll choose one!" I am willing to lead all the clansmen of the first Lingqiang to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom, and I will never dare to be the enemy of the Huaxia Heavenly Army again......"

Ma Chao's face was gloomy. He sneered and said, "I think, you answered wrong!" ”

Answer...... Wrong? Ould asked, puzzled.

Ma Chao saw that Ouerde was not enlightened, and immediately reminded: "I said that it is for all the clansmen who led the lead in Lingqiang to submit to me, not Huaxia Kingdom." ”

Ould hurriedly changed his words: "I was wrong. It's my mistake, I'm willing to lead all the clansmen of the first Lingqiang to return to General Shuntian, and from now on I will listen to General Tian's dispatch, and I will do whatever General Tian asks me to do! If I dare to betray the alliance. Let me die without a place to be buried, and the sky will thunder and thunder......"

"Enough, enough." Ma Chao laughed and shouted outside, "Bring wine and meat, comfort King Qiang!" ”

As the words fell, Wang Shuang brought up the wine and meat that had been prepared long ago and put it in front of Ould.

Ould ate and drank at once, and there was nothing to eat.

Ma Chao said to Wang Shuang: "Send someone to send a good news to the emperor, just say that Lingqiang has been pacified, the mountains and roads here are far away, and there are deep pits, and there are deserts to block it, please ask the emperor to rest in Linrong City for a while, and when I settle down the Qiang people here, I will return to Linrong City to face the saint." ”

"No!"

The vast desert, the dead sea of sand.

A round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson; The desert waves, which held the setting sun, froze, like a sleeping sea.

The desert spreads flat and stretches all the way to the horizon, where the sky and the earth meet, undulating jagged sand dunes. The wind is blowing in the desert, the sand is flying, the sky is dark, this is the world of sand, there is simply no place for you.

The desert is vast and misty, with constant ups and downs, and more than 20,000 cavalry walking in it suddenly seem so small.

"How far is it?" Lin Nan rode on a horse, covered his face with a piece of cloth, and only showed a pair of deep eyes, looking at the boundless desert, and sighed.

"Emperor Qiqi, you can walk another four or five miles through this desert, and there are still nearly a hundred miles away from Lingwu Valley, so you can only sleep in the wild tonight." Gai Xun, who was walking beside Lin Nan, replied.

"Well, give Tai Shici an order and let him set up a big camp in front as much as possible." Lin Nan nodded and ordered.

The scouts who had given the order flew out of their horses, galloped forward, and when they had come out of the desert, they ran forward for almost ten miles, and only then did they catch up with the advance of the march in front.

Tai Shi Ci was wearing a steel helmet, wearing a red cloak, wearing steel armor, holding a halberd of wind and fire, and under his crotch was an extremely strong horse, leading three thousand cavalry to gallop in front, and when he saw a scout coming from behind, he restrained the horse and stopped advancing.

"The emperor ordered the general to camp on the spot."

"Got it, you can go back and report to the emperor." Tai Shi Ci nodded and said to the scout.

After the scouts left, Tai Shi Ci ordered his subordinates to start camping, the so-called camping, and the past is a little different, Tai Shi Ci is the general of the vanguard, and the general vanguard is responsible for opening the road, at this time let him camp, but also can only set up a temporary camp, set up some decent tents, and wait until the army arrives behind, and then perfect.

After the order was given, everyone was busy, and a fast horse drove from the twilight in front of them, looking from afar, it was a scout of the Huaxia Kingdom.

When the scout saw Tai Shici and the others, he hurriedly stopped, and when he saw a cavalry general patrolling with several cavalrymen, he first saluted the cavalry general, and then asked, "Whose subordinates are you?" ”

"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see what is written on the flag? The rider was Tai Shici's lieutenant general, Hou Cheng, glanced at the scout and said impatiently.

The scout looked embarrassed and said, "I...... I am literate......"

Hou Cheng sneered, glanced at the scout, and asked rhetorically, "Where are you from?" Whose subordinates are they? If anything, tell me the same. Our general is too busy to pay attention to you. ”

The scout said: "I was sent by General Zhengxi and Yihou, and I came to report the news, Xian Lingqiang, who was entrenched in the Lingwu Valley at the foot of Helan Mountain, has been pacified by General Zhengxi, and General Zhengxi sent me back to Linrong City to report good news." ”

After Hou Cheng heard this, he laughed out loud and asked: "It turned out to be a subordinate of General Zhengxi, why don't you use flying pigeons to pass on the book?" And sent scouts, it's really old-fashioned! ”

The scout explained: "From now on, you need to fly through the desert to Linrong City, there are many birds of prey in the sky above the desert, and I am afraid that the carrier pigeons will not be able to pass over, so it will delay the time, so I was sent here." I won't tell you, I still have to go to Linrong City to report the good news to the emperor. ”

With that, the scout was leaving.

"Wait! His Majesty is no longer in Linrong City, and he will arrive here soon, so you can wait here for a while. Hou Cheng blocked.

"But ......"

"But what? Give me your good news, I will pass it on my behalf, I've traveled so far, I'm already very tired, I should take a good rest! Hou Cheng stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of the scout.

The scout was hesitating, when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Hou Cheng! What are you grinding there? ”

Hou Cheng looked back and saw that it was Song Xian, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, you've finished patrolling over there?" ”

"It's over!" Song Xian rushed over with a few cavalrymen, and saw that the scout was standing in front of Hou Cheng, but it was not from their army, so he asked, "Where did this scout come from?" Lost? ”

"No, I caught the spy, saying that it was General Zhengxi's subordinates, no matter how I look at it, I think of a spy, and I am interrogating!" Hou Cheng replied.

After hearing this, the scout saw a chill in the eyes of Song Xian and the others, and immediately explained: "I am not a spy, I am really a subordinate of General Zhengxi, I am here to report good news, please believe me......"

Hou Chengdao: "I don't believe it! Ma Chao has only a few thousand people, how can he defeat more than 300,000 Qiang people? You must be a spy sent by the Qiang people, you locked up Ma Chao, and then said that Ma Chao won the battle to lure the emperor, and then ambushed him, right? ”

"No, no, it's not like that, it's true that our general sent me, I have good news as proof......" As he spoke, the scout took out the good news and handed it to Hou Cheng, "Moreover, General Zhengxi also said that the road from Linrong City to Lingwu Valley is long, and there is a small desert in the middle, so it is not suitable to march, let the emperor wait in Linrong City, and after General Zhengxi appeases the Qiang people, he will return to Linrong City......"

Hou Cheng grabbed the good news handed over by the scout, glanced at it hurriedly, and saw that it was indeed stamped with the seal of General Zhengxi, and immediately frowned, and when he was worried about how to deal with this matter, he saw Ma Chao euphemistically writing the news that the army would not go to Lingwu Valley, and immediately thought about it, and then said: "It's wrong, Ma Chao wants to rebel!"
