Chapter 263: Ma Teng's Retreat (II)
Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan, who were standing on the side, had always been close to Liang Xing, but when they heard that he was missing, they hurriedly went out to ask Han Sui for his life: "General, please let us lead the troops to rescue Liang Xing, don't let him miss the slightest." ”
Han Sui looked at his two subordinates, and secretly calculated in his heart: the martial arts of the two were on par with Liang Xing, and it should not be a problem to deal with the young general who defeated Liang Xing with two enemies. So he nodded and said to the two: "I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Liang Xing!" ”
"Command!" Before Han Sui's words were finished, Cheng Yin replied loudly: "Please rest assured, general, we will definitely bring Liang Xing back unscathed." ”
"Wait," just as Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan were about to go out of the tent, they were stopped by Ma Teng. Ma Teng looked at Han Sui and said: "Wenyue, we can't figure out how many troops the thief soldiers have, and if we attack rashly, we may lose, in my opinion, let my son Meng Qi accompany us." In this way, even if the thieves are strong, they can fight their way out of the encirclement. ”
Han Sui thought of Ma Chao's superb martial arts, a few days ago, he had shot Wang Fang and captured Li Meng alive, if he could get out of the horse, then the odds of winning could be greatly increased. Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Since Shou Cheng said so, then let Meng Qi's nephew attack with my two subordinates." ”
After Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew robbed Ma Tengjun's grain and grass, the first thing they thought of was to transport this batch of grain and grass back to the city. As long as there is grain and grass, no matter how many Ma Teng's troops are, it will not be easy to break the city. As they were walking along the official road, a horse hurried back.
Seeing Tanma's frightened look, Zhang Ji guessed that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"General Qiyu," Tanma clasped his fists on horseback and replied, "There is the Xiliang army ahead, which is coming here, please prepare early." ”
Hearing that the Xiliang army was coming, Zhang Ji's heart immediately understood that it must be Ma Teng and others who knew that the grain and grass had been robbed and sent someone to retrieve the grain and grass. Then he ordered left and right: "Come on, immediately set fire to the grain and grass......
"Uncle!" Hearing Zhang Ji's order to burn the grain and grass, Zhang Xiu hurriedly stopped it: "Since our army has seized the grain and grass, how can we burn it with fire." The uncle can lead the troops with the grain cart first, and wait for the nephew to stop Xiliang's generals. ”
Seeing that his nephew, who had just defeated Liang Xing, was so confident, Zhang Ji secretly wondered if he was a little frightened by the Xiliang people, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "In that case, then I will give you two thousand men and horses to go and meet the Xiliang people." ”
When Zhang Xiu was about to leave with his troops, he also specially advised: "As long as you and my uncle and nephew transport the grain and grass back to Chang'an, it will be a great achievement." You must not fall in love with war, and after defeating Xiliang's soldiers and horses, you will come to join me. ”
"My nephew knows." Zhang Xiu agreed, and then took the two thousand men and horses that Zhang Ji gave him, and went in the direction where Ma Chao and the others came.
The soldiers and horses led by Ma Chao, Cheng Yin, and Hou Xuan were hurrying forward, and suddenly saw a line of soldiers and horses on the official road in front. After the defeated soldiers who fled back saw that the person leading the team was Zhang Xiu, they hurriedly said to Cheng Yin: "This person defeated General Liang Xing." ”
Knowing that it was the person in front of him who defeated Liang Xing, Cheng Yin immediately couldn't hold his breath, and he said to Ma Chao: "The young general is here to press the formation for me, and I will go to get the head of the thief general back." With that, he rushed out with his legs between the horse's belly.
Zhang Xiu saw that someone in the opposite formation rushed out and shouted: "Good come!" Waving the silver spear in his hand, he rushed forward and fought with Cheng Yin.
Cheng Yin, like Liang Xing, is known as the eight strong generals under Han Sui, but his martial arts are much inferior to Zhang Xiu, who is known as the "Gun King of the North". After standing for less than five rounds, the weapon in his hand was knocked away by Zhang Xiu, and then Zhang Xiu's stabbing shot knocked his helmet away.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu was so powerful, Cheng Yin hurriedly turned the horse's head, lay his body on the horse's back, and rushed towards the formation. shouted loudly: "Young General, save me!" ”
Seeing that Cheng Yin's situation was critical, Hou Xuan immediately roared and rushed forward brandishing his weapon. But he was still no match for Zhang Xiu, and in just three rounds, Zhang Xiu stabbed him in the left rib and knocked him off the horse. He was about to step forward and shoot him for his life, but he heard a person shouting: "Xiliang Ma Chaoma Meng Qi is here again, the thief will look at the gun!" ”
Zhang Xiu stopped the gun in his hand, looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a young man riding a white horse, silver helmet and silver armor, and holding a silver gun rushing towards him. He sneered, pointed at Ma Chao with his hand, and said, "Which doll is this, don't you know that there are no eyes on the battlefield?" Don't retreat quickly, or this steel gun in my hand will definitely pierce seven or eight holes in your body. ”
Ma Chao was arrogant, and when he saw that the enemy general on the opposite side was only in his early twenties, he spoke in an old-fashioned manner, like an adult. He snorted heavily and stabbed at the other man.
Faced with Ma Chao's stabbing shot, Zhang Xiu lightly blocked it with the spear in his hand. After a loud bang, he felt that his tiger's mouth was almost shaken open, and he realized that although the young general on the other side was still old, his martial arts were far above him.
If it was a battle, it is estimated that he would have turned his horse away at this moment. But now he is to cover Zhang Ji to transport the grain and grass back to Chang'an, so he can only fight with Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao said that his martial arts were superb, he didn't have much time to go to the battlefield, so for a while, he couldn't help Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu secretly complained in her heart, and said that if she knew that there was such a tricky role among the reinforcements that came, she would have agreed to her uncle's proposal and burned all the military rations she had stolen. But at the moment, it is difficult to ride a tiger, so you can only fight hard.
Although Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan are not as good as Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu in martial arts, they have fought with foreign clans for many years at the border and have rich experience. They saw that the other party had fewer soldiers and horses than themselves, and the main general was also entangled by Ma Chao, where would they let go of such a good opportunity, so they hurriedly waved their troops and killed them, and fought with Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Xiu, seeing that Zhang Xiu was gradually at a disadvantage in the contest with Ma Chao, was frightened, but saw that the other party had already waved his army to cover up, so he could only fight hard.
Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were small, and after only insisting on two sticks of incense, they lost more than half, and the rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and they scattered and fled. At this time, Zhang Xiu was also embarrassed, his helmet was knocked off, and he was shot more than a dozen times, if it weren't for Ma Chao's lack of experience, he would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing his soldiers and horses fleeing in all directions, he knew that if he continued to fight, his life would be ruined here, so he hurriedly shook a shot, turned his horse and fled, and rushed to join Zhang Ji, who was escorting grain and grass.
"Command!" Before Han Sui's words were finished, Cheng Yin replied loudly: "Please rest assured, general, we will definitely bring Liang Xing back unscathed." ”
"Wait," just as Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan were about to go out of the tent, they were stopped by Ma Teng.
