Chapter 131: Ma Chao slashes the scouts
The next day, when the morning sun was born, on the large square in front of the government affairs building, the soldiers and horses who were ready to go out with Zhang Guang gathered together.
Li Hao's siege department already had nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.
All bronze armor.
In front of him is the heavy armor shield bearer.
Then there are the light-armored stormtroopers.
Behind are the "bombardiers" and "crossbow archers" who carry all kinds of siege weapon spare parts.
At the rear, there were cavalrymen who were responsible for charging after breaking the city.
Not long after Tai Shi Ci arrived here, there were 3,000 Danyang soldiers, more than 1,000 Shanyue, and more than 5,000 newly recruited archers.
Although the number is only 10,000, there are 3,000 Danyang soldiers, especially after these Danyang soldiers arrived in Guanzhong, they have been systematically trained by Dian Wei and Gan Ning and others, and the combat effectiveness of this bow and arrow department is not weak.
Everyone has pure white armor, all the horses under the seats, and the stirrups are complete.
The three thousand Danyang soldiers were holding shields, carrying dark iron chains on their backs, I don't know what kind of weapon they were, and on their waists were short spears that could be put together.
Zhao Zilong once taught these Danyang soldiers marksmanship for a month.
Afterwards, Zhao Zilong and Zhang Guang said that these Danyang soldiers with a dead face would definitely bite off the enemy's Adam's apple with their teeth when they went to the battlefield.
Except for the three thousand Danyang soldiers, the rest of them carried strong bows and quivers on their backs, crossbows on their arms, and long swords at their waists.
Archery skills are all taught by Tai Shici himself.
Zhang Guang really didn't know that Li Hao's subordinates had 30,000 soldiers and horses.
More than 40,000 people, under the leadership of Zhang Guang, Tai Shici and Li Hao, went out of the city, and the movement was very large.
Many people in Chang'an City ran out to send each other.
After Zhang Guang entered Guanzhong, it was the first time that the whole army went to battle in the real sense.
"I wish the Great Han Master a victory."
"The King of the Northwest is mighty."
"The Ninth Legion is mighty."
There are really a lot of steamed eggs.
After Zhang Guang expressed his gratitude, he asked Li Hao to arrange for someone to accept all the things sent by the people.
From Chang'an to Chencang, all the way through Wugong and Yixian.
To the south of Yixian, there is a ramp to cross the Qinling Mountains.
Since Wei Zhen built Yixian County into a large granary in the rear, a guard regiment of Dian Wei was usually stationed here, and Wang Dang, Dian Wei's apprentice in Montenegro, served as the head of the regiment here.
Zhang Guang led his army to Yixian and asked Li Hao to leave 1,000 heavy armor soldiers and 500 cavalry to help Wang defend the granary.
At the same time, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, father and son, were gathering in Longxian with Pang De, Pang Rou and others to discuss the attack on Chencang in Longguan.
These Xiliang generals are all admirers of fists and spirits, and they gathered together to compare who has a hard fist through wine.
Nearly ten forces, usually do a fight when they have nothing to do, and they also learn from each other those strategists in the Central Plains to play some tricks, and in the end, they each lost 800 or thousands of soldiers and horses, and no one will care, anyway, Liangzhou is so big and there are many people.
In normal times, fighting and fighting, with foreign enemies, it will condense into a rope.
Ma Teng and Ma Chao Xuan Yang everywhere, after Zhang Guang destroyed Han Sui and Guo Yan, he would come to attack Liangzhou, Zhang Guang after capturing the territory of Han Sui and Guo Yan in Shangjun, it was burning, killing and looting, doing everything.
Is this worth it?
Ma Teng sent troops all the way to Longxian, and there was no need to greet him along the way, and he soon gathered nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses.
Looking at the dense camp tents outside Longxian, Ma Teng was ambitious and did not drive Zhang Guang out of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and vowed not to return to Liangzhou.
Of course, if you can kill Zhang Guang, it will be even better, and you can also be the king of the northwest in Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong.
"Everyone, Zhang Heng has already led 30,000 soldiers and horses of his subordinates to Wudu County to station in Fuxian County, in case Zhang Guang's garrison in Hanzhong attacks Wudu County from Fuxian County."
"Tomorrow's sun is the call of the gods, summoning us to drive the demon Zhang Guang out of Guanzhong, our good men in Liangzhou, pick up the weapons in your hands and go to fight."
"Call of the Gods!"
"Pick up your weapon!"
"Fight!"
If Zhang Guang was here, he would definitely applaud Ma Teng's momentum, in this case, Zhang Guang would not be able to say it.
The formation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses was summoned by Ma Teng, and the sound shook Longxian County, and many nearby Qiang people picked up weapons such as scimitars at home, and came in groups of three or five to join the team.
Everyone is enthusiastic, and they can't wait to fight Zhang Guang to the death.
"Okay, it's all gone, let's have a good time tonight, tomorrow the sun rises, and it's time for us to respond to the call of the gods."
This night, the people of Longxian County are destined to be a sleepless night.
Because outside the city, hundreds of thousands of people are partying all night.
Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pang De, Pang Rou, Yang Qiu and others also returned to the county seat to gather.
"Master Ma, that Zhang Guang actually used the prestige of all the princes to kill Han Sui and Guo Yan, it's really hateful." Pang Rou said in a loud voice.
"Yes, if I knew at that time that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others did not support Zhang Guang's actions, they would have rioted on the spot and killed Zhang Guang's thief." Ma Chao said angrily.
"With General Ma Chao's skills, he will definitely be able to tear that Zhang Guang to pieces with his bare hands." Yang Qiu began to pat himself on the back.
"Everyone, let's not mention the past for the time being, and next, we must abandon our previous suspicions and work together to complete the mission assigned by the gods." Ma Teng guided at the right time, no matter what, to gather these forces around him.
The next day, before dawn, a scout sent out came to the hall, and Ma Teng and the others were lying on the table and still hadn't woken up.
"Horse owner, horse owner, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with it? Say it well. ”
"Sanguan, Sanguan has been seized, General Zhang Heng has a letter, when will the owner ......?"
As the scout was talking, Ma Chao, who was approaching, drew his sword and cut his throat, spurting blood and dying, and the silk silk on his hand was stained red with blood.
Pang De and the others, who had just woken up on the side, were a little stunned, it was Ma Teng, and they didn't know what their son was going to do.
"Scattered passes, this news, must not let those soldiers outside the city know, before leaving Longguan, they have received defeats, and I am afraid that the army is unstable." Ma Chao explained.
"What should I do over there? He sent a letter, what is written on it? Pang Rou picked up the silk on the ground, and the ink had been melted away by the bloodstains, and she couldn't see what was written at all.
"You don't need to look at this, it must be a letter asking us when we will attack Sanguan, he didn't hold Sanguan, and now he is surrounded by Sanguan and Pingyang Pass in Hanzhong, probably because he is worried that Zhang Guang will attack Wudu."
Ma Teng couldn't imagine that his son Ma Chao was so ruthless, and said to the scout that he would kill and kill, and after thinking about it, Ma Chao said it in a logical way, his son may not only be a fierce general with amazing combat effectiveness, but also know how to use soldiers.
"Ma Chao, in that case, should we divide 50,000 troops from Wudu Dao to Fu County to reinforce Zhang Heng?" Ma Teng figured this out and simply let Ma Chao call the shots.
"No, Zhang Heng has 30,000 horses, and he hasn't even defended a scattered pass, so let him wait in Wudu first, what we have to do is to concentrate our forces to capture Chencang, and at that time, the scattered pass will naturally fall into our hands."
Many generals in Xiliang have no twists and turns in their heads, and when they hear Ma Chao say this, they are indeed reasonable.
