Walk more than 70 miles south along the county seat of Tewu, in the upper reaches of the Kushui River, the water is actually not so salty, people and animals can drink, and even you can see that there are fish swimming under the clear water surface, the bank is a high mound, because the color is white, this neighborhood is called "Baitugang".

Baitugang is the hiding place of the Ma Yuan tribesmen, and there are dozens of board houses hidden in the basin between the mountain passes, and more than 100 families live here.

Ma Yuan still remembered that the first thing he and Wan Yu saved was a family on the grassland that was hunted down and killed by the lord of Qianghu, a vassal state of Anding. After that, as the reputation of the two of them for robbing the rich and helping the poor gradually became louder, farmers who lost their land and herdsmen who could not survive joined almost every month.

They also brought their cattle, sheep and horses, and gradually gathered hundreds of people, led by Ma Yuan and Wan Yan, forming an armed herd.

In addition to letting the people graze and farm, Ma Yuan also selected strong children and organized them to train according to their equestrian skills. repelled the temptation of the lord of Qianghu in the stable country, and also made the Tewu County government jealous, because he didn't have the courage to go into the mountains to kill, he could only turn a blind eye, so that Ma Yuan became the climate.

Early this morning, with the sound of a horn, the men came out of the board house one after another, laughed and came to the water's edge to assemble, but I don't know which rich family in the county has fallen in love with Ma Yuan, and wants to take them to harvest.

"It can't be the Zhang family in the county!" Some people jokingly said, but they all understand that this is impossible, that Zhang is not an ordinary landlord, I heard that the family advocates that it is the fifth grandson of Zhang Anshi, the general of the Han Dynasty, the former "Marquis of Fuping", but Wang Mang lost the throne after the Han Dynasty, and did not dare to stay in the pass, so he returned here in disgrace, satisfied with being the third powerful man in the north.

But the Zhang family is especially powerful, sitting on hundreds of acres of land, 700 servants at home, and talking better than the county order, with the strength of horse aid and Wan Xuan, he dare not touch the Zhang family.

Unexpectedly, the target that Ma Yuan was going to attack today was even more shocking.

"I'm not going to visit the rich people today."

Ma Yuan glanced at everyone, they were mixed with flowers, and the only thing they had in common was that they were dressed in sackcloth and sheep felt, and their faces were tanned red.

He smiled: "Tomorrow, we will attack the rampant Zhu Tu Yong in the south of the county, and the blade army Sima Ruchen!" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had been more active in the past year, because there was no big force in Tewu County, as long as they kept a balance with the government and the Zhang family, but since General Tunhu arrived, they didn't need to be reminded by horse aid, they had converged a lot, after all, it was an army of tens of thousands.

In the past month, Ruchen wantonly copied grain in the south of the county, causing anger and resentment, and everyone also heard about it, and they were also indignant, but they didn't expect Ma Yuan to really dare!

Wan Yu saw that everyone was cowardly, so he lit up a few of them: "You and the others escaped from Anding last month, do you know that it was your ministers who killed your wife and daughter and robbed you of your food?" ”

"And you and more than ten other people came to defect a few days ago, saying that you sent people to extort grain, but they really couldn't survive, so they simply abandoned the field and entered the mountain."

Although the days in the mountains are hard and wild beasts are infested, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger. Here they can feel the taste of freedom, there is no tax collector to come to the door, there is no need to serve the slaves of the Narausz, and they are abused on the road and lose their lives.

"The one who directly caused you to lose your family and suffer is your minister, don't you want to take revenge?"

"Sit back and watch Ruchen wreathe, I don't know how many people in Tewu County have lost their homes like you, it's better to get rid of this harm as soon as possible!"

Having said that, everyone still hesitated: "But there are only a hundred of us, and there are hundreds of them......"

Ma Yuan said loudly: "There are not many scholars, but in the fine, Zhu Tu Yong is also a poor person, he will not work for Ruchen, there is no need to worry, just deal with dozens of cronies around him." ”

"What's more, the husband is the ambition, the poor should be strong, and the old should be strong!"

"Ma Yuan is thirty and five years old this year, this life is muddy, and he plans to do something happy today."

Ma Yuan stretched out his hand and took a simple apricot yellow flag handed over by Wan Xuan, with four ink characters written on it: "Do the right thing for heaven!" ”

"Gentlemen, those who are willing to follow me to eliminate harm for heaven and avenge the people, arm your arms!"

……

The next day, when Wu Lun walked to the Kushui River with hundreds of people who were holding "grain", the sun had reached the middle of the sky, and Xuan Biao, who was the eyeliner of the "fifth column" and went to communicate with Ruchen about the meeting time, also hurriedly came back to report.

"Has Ruchen set off?"

"Out of the block."

Xuan Biao was a little anxious: "But there are more people than expected." ”

Fifth Lun was a little nervous: "How many?" ”

Xuan Biao said: "There are about 600 pigs, including more than 50 of your guards, but for the sake of prudence, Ruchen also pulled the two nearby townships to wander, and each brought dozens of villagers to help him carry grain. ”

Fifth Lun calculated, and secretly said that it was not good: "In this way, even if you exclude the pig and the pig, there are more than 100 people who can fight, far exceeding the strength of Ma Yuan." “

Sure enough, the plan can't catch up with the changes, Wu Lun is a little anxious, should he send someone to ask for help and deceive the township to pay it?

No, that would be tantamount to telling Ruchen that someone might attack, but it would lose the key to victory: suddenness.

The team transporting grain is a long snake, Ruchen transports a lot of grain, can pull a mile or two before and after, and the barrier is located in the middle of the Han Canal, Qin Canal two waters, he wants to go to the ferry near the county seat, to cross a bridge.

Fifth Lun discussed with Ma Yuan and the others, the opportunity to attack was that the front team had already passed half of the time, and Ru Chen had not crossed the bridge with the rear team, so he suddenly attacked him!

"I believe that Wen Yuan and Jun You are all outstanding people, most of them are horse teams, even if they can't kill your ministers, they can retreat with their whole body."

Fifth Lun took a deep breath and beckoned everyone to prepare to cross the Kushui River and head to the ferry.

"Everything is still in my plans!"

……

In an area like Tewu County, which has a vast area and mixed agriculture and animal husbandry, it is difficult to implement the household registration verification system, and on the grassland outside the Han Canal, it is common to see one or two horses galloping, and no one will care.

Ma Yuan's troops took advantage of this, divided into twenty squads, and scattered from different directions to their destination: Jincaotan, which was located outside the Han Canal.

When everyone came over one after another to converge, Ma Yuan glanced at the number of people, and almost all of them arrived, all of them showed their left or right arms, carried bows and knives, and looked at him with their heads held high—their blades were originally very poor, and they had recently been supported by a "friend who did not want to be named" by Ma Yuan, but the inscription was sharpened, and the source could not be seen.

"Those who are here today are all aspiring husbands."

Ma Yuan immediately assigned the task: "Jun You, you will take twenty people to burn the bridge and block the reinforcements of the front team." ”

"And I, with more than 80 horsemen, went straight to Ruchen! Kill him, not for war or for grosses. ”

Everyone agreed, and they fastened the linen masks on their faces. They rode their horses away from the Golden Grass Beach and crossed the shallow Han Canal. At this time, there was no need to hide their whereabouts, and the farmers from far and near were working in the fields, but when they saw a group of riders jumping onto the embankment and moving forward quickly, they all stopped what they were doing.

They bypassed the obstruction and marched diagonally northward from the other side, and when they approached the bridge of the Qin Canal, they saw from a distance that the grain convoy was slowly marching in the shape of a long snake, with oxen, donkeys, or pack horses, and the carts without livestock were pushed by pigs and pigs, and there were two soldiers beside each chariot, supervised by sword soldiers.

Although the number of people was larger than expected, it was still very dispersed.

After running for a while, the men of the horse aid were also scattered, and after resting for a while three miles away, they got on their horses again, and as the horse aid whistled, they all nervously took off their bows and swords, and galloped forward with the leader.

Before the rear team completely crossed the bridge, Ma Yuan led the crowd to accelerate and rushed up!

In the face of the menacing cavalry, the pig warriors who pushed the cart were stunned at first, and they didn't know who shouted: "The Huns are coming!" “

So they immediately threw away the car and turned around and ran, and then found that the townsmen next to the car were running faster than themselves, and they drilled into the Qin Canal one by one.

There was almost no fighting, more than 80 horsemen bit the tail of the grain team, but looked left and right, but did not see the banner of the military Sima, the horse aid only caught the township You who had no time to escape, under the questioning, You Wei tremblingly pointed to the front of the grain team and said: "Ru Sima...... Up ahead! ”

"Not in the back?" Ma Yuan was stunned.

Wan Yu was in a hurry, the first half of the grain team had gone out for more than a mile, and at this moment he noticed that the rear was attacked, and the people who could fight were gathering little by little, their advantages were gone, he had always been cautious, so he said: "Wen Yuan, it's better to burn the bridge, retreat first, and find a chance next time!" “

"Jun You, and burn the bridge slowly."

"What is Wen Yuan going to do?"

Ma Yuan's eyes were fixed on the bridge, and the banner of the military Sima who turned around and walked this way.

"Rush over!"

"I said, rush over!"

……

Just a moment ago, Ru Chen was still singing in the carriage, imagining that he could once again be appreciated by General Tunhu for transporting grain, and when the war was over, he would be mixed with the post of colonel and lieutenant.

But unexpectedly, the rear team was suddenly attacked, and the subordinates who came to the emergency shouted that it was the Huns, Ruchen only felt funny, the Huns were still hundreds of miles away from the Beiyi Mountain, and there were thousands of people blocking the Hun generals, how could they come here quietly?

"Could it be the bandits in the south of the county, or the Diao people in which township are unwilling to have their grain taken away by me and come to obstruct it with makeup?"

Ruchen is really not afraid of them, and he doesn't plan to run, subconsciously he must keep those grain trucks in the back!

He immediately beckoned his subordinates and organized the pigs and pigs.

It's just that the process of organization is extremely chaotic, more chaotic than the confusion after the horse aid troops on the other side of the river pounced on the air, many pigs are waiting for such an opportunity, and when they see that the soldiers next to them are not staring at themselves, they turn their heads and run, they are better to live than die under the command of Ruchen, and many people are discussing: "It's better to escape from the fortress and go to the Huns!" “

In the imagination of Zhu Tuyong, the life of the herdsmen on the side of the earthen wall of the Great Wall is full of idealization, isn't it just herding sheep, but it is much easier than working all day, lying on the lawn to bask in the sun for a day, and eating meat every day.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people ran away, in all directions, and they couldn't pull it, and finally only pushed three or four hundred people, forming a chaotic "army".

They turned around and headed towards the bridge over the Qin Canal, in Ru Chen's opinion, there were only a few dozen small thieves on the opposite side, and there were hundreds of them under him, although most of the pigs and pigs did not issue armor soldiers, but this group of people themselves is the best shield, and it is the best to use to block arrows.

But when Wan Yu rushed across the bridge with more than a dozen horsemen, Ru Chen's big meat shield was suddenly revealed.

Seeing that the horses on the opposite side rushed over on all fours, and the knight above was wearing a sackcloth cover and holding a ring knife, I don't know who shouted "Run" in fear! Three or four hundred pigs rushed to the left and right, and in just a moment's effort, you and dozens of his soldiers were exposed.

Ru Chen didn't expect the pigs to escape so quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "Four martial arts rush formation, quickly end the four martial arts rush formation!" Pull the riders over and form a circle! “

This set of formations is specially used to deal with the cavalry, the key is to the fortress, first unload the cattle and horses, with the vehicle connected into a round or square camp, as a temporary camp, and then make the material strong crossbow, prepared on all sides, so that you can resist the Hun cavalry from the assault.

If there is enough time, Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan, the miscellaneous riders, will definitely not be able to do anything to Ruchen, but unfortunately the incident happened in a hurry, how can there be time to end the car formation? Your subordinates can only aim the crossbow in their hands at the opposite side and shoot, regardless of whether they are still hundreds of paces away from them, and the end of the strong crossbow cannot kill or injure people and horses.

But it was this loose crossbow bolt that really made the riders retreat from their horses, and Wan Yu couldn't move no matter how he shouted, so he could only untie the bow on his shoulder, and start shooting at the bridge head and the opposite side with the riders.

It was like a rookie battle pecking at each other, with both sides firing at each other at maximum range, and as a result, the battle was extremely anxious for half a moment, but there were few wounded.

Instead, Ruchen got the opportunity to send someone to the "friendly army" Wu Lun for help.

He didn't dare to leave the food team and flee by himself, so he only waited anxiously for reinforcements, but at this moment, the person next to him let out a frightened exclamation!

"In the rear, there are thieves in the rear!"

Ruchen looked back, but saw that twenty or thirty horsemen had gone around to the rear at some point, gathered more than a hundred paces away, and then trotted towards them, and in an instant it was within thirty paces, and the tall knights led by the horses were on the ground, charging at Ruchen at a very fast speed!

Ruchen shouted to his men to turn around, but no one listened to his orders on the chaotic and noisy battlefield. He could only operate the crossbow machine in his hand, aiming at the knight who was in the lead, and unexpectedly, the arrow missed, and before he could wind it again, this person was already close to the front.

You Chen only had time to throw the crossbow machine, pick up the spear on the cart and try to engage him, but at the moment of misturning, he stabbed into the air, and the knight approached, and with a sharp swing of the long knife in his hand, he cut off your right arm!

The earth suddenly became closer, and Ruchen fell off his horse with his broken hand and wailed, and slammed it on the ground, his footsteps in front of him were chaotic, and sometimes the horse's hooves rushed to the front, and the battle had changed from a random shot in the air to a melee of hand-to-hand combat.

In the chaos, a person immediately crossed the knife, jumped down, calmly walked through the fight, and walked quickly towards Ru Chen, the ring knife in his hand was still dancing with knife flowers, and above, Ru Chen's blood was dripping down a little bit.

Ruchen was so pained that he lost his judgment and couldn't get up, so he could only tremble and try to hide under the wheels, but he was grabbed and pulled back, so that his face was facing the sun.

Ma Yuan, who was covered with a sackcloth face, stepped on Ru Chen's shoulder, and fortunately confirmed to others that this was the evil military horse, so he laughed, and immediately raised his sharp blade high and chopped off his head violently!

"The law condones you, and the military law exalts you, and that's how the world is. In this case, then the three of us will punish you for the sake of the sky! ”
