Chapter 578: Assault (1)

Mingbayi lowered his head and slowly withdrew from the tent,

Let out a long breath,

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a beautiful bird flying into the sky,

The bird had just stopped by the Mamel tent,

When you stop where you are,

Covered in gray-white feathers,

It looks unremarkable,

But when this wings fly,

Beneath the gray feathers,

There are countless brightly colored patterns hidden,

It looks very beautiful,

The bird hovers and soars in the sky,

Looks free,

Very free,

Mingbayi put his hand on the pergola and watched the unknown bird gradually fly higher and farther away,

I couldn't help but start envious in my heart,

What a beautiful bird it is,

It doesn't look good on weekdays,

But once you spread your wings and soar,

The bright feathers,

That vigorous posture,

How remarkable,

It seems that he is also such a person.

Thinking of his life with twists and turns since childhood,

Later, it gradually emerged,

Respected wherever he goes,

Even awe-inspiring,

And even in the end,

I have received great grace,

Summoned by His Majesty the King himself,

And gave him a grand reward,

and a prominent position,

At that time,

It's so radiant,

Just like this bird flying in the sky at this moment,

It's just, stirring thoughts,

In the end, it turned into a sigh,

Lingering in the air for a long time,

The bitterness and helplessness inside,

But people can't help but feel their hearts rise,

Mingbay is in my heart,

Silently said to himself:

It's just a pity that I'm not as good as it after all,

It can laugh proudly in the sky,

But he can only look up in the cage.

This bird is a variant of the turtle dove,

It's been specially cultivated,

to be able to have such a peculiar feather,

This turtle dove keeps flying in the sky,

the direction in which it flies,

It is the direction of that ray of heaven,

This turtle dove flies high and fast,

People who are so high on the ground can hardly tell the difference,

so fast that few birds can catch up with it,

Less than a meal,

And it rode the wind from the tent of Mamel,

flew to the top of the mountain,

There stood a man,

The face is not good-looking,

Eyes slightly narrowed and looking up at the sky,

Vaguely, it seems to see the appearance of turtledoves,

The man had a smile on his face,

There was a loud whistle from his mouth,

Then he quickly raised his right arm,

At his wrist,

Brightly wearing a wristband,

Reflects a dazzling glow in the sun.

The turtledove swooped down like an arrow,

When he was about to reach this man,

Stretched out a pair of wings and flapped twice,

slows down the speed of the rapid by a lot,

And then a pair of sharp claws,

Gently put it on the bright wristband,

Affectionately with a small head,

Rubbed the man's outstretched left hand a few times.

chirping softly,

The turtledove's voice is short and powerful,

Sounds very pleasant,

gives a cheerful feeling,

The man had been listening carefully,

From time to time, his brows furrowed tightly,

seems to be very confused,

From time to time, the mouth will make a sound similar to the chirping of a turtledove.

Often at this time,

The turtledove will then make a series of chirps,

A man and a bird seem to be in dialogue,

It's very bizarre,

After a while, their conversation seemed to end,

The man slowly opened the palm of his left hand,

It's the turtledove's favorite food,

There are seeds of various plants and grains,

The turtledove happily pecked at the delicious food in the man's hand,

The sharp beak touched his palm from time to time,

The tingling sensation made him laugh.

After a while, the man took out a handful of grain again and threw it on the ground.

Stay that turtledove to continue to enjoy the good meal,

The man turned and walked into a cave,

There are obvious traces of artificial excavation here,

There were a few dim oil lamps lit in the cave,

Shadows are more than enough to see,

There are quite a few people sitting in here.

In the cave, there were still some whispers,

They all disappeared with the man's entry.

The man went into the depths of the cave,

Coming to a figure,

He lowered his head and whispered in the man's ear for a long time.

"Hehe, it's finally here, brothers, get ready to work!"

The figure that is always sitting,

Slowly stand up,

Each is not high,

patted the dust on his body,

Take the lead and walk towards the outside of the cave,

The others, Uzuna followed him.

Ma Chao, the descendant of General Ma Yuan of Han Fubo,

Ma Teng's son, who became famous as a teenager,

In the Fufeng area, it has the name of 'Yongjian',

Later, as a teenager,

So he followed his father Ma Teng to fight on the battlefield,

Assessing the Qiang rebellion,

Among the Qiang,

It has won the reputation of "General Shenweitian".

After Ma Teng defected to Lu Bu,

Ma Chao is even more like a fish in water,

has successively made great achievements in Xiliang, Hexi and other places,

In the northwest of the entire Great Han,

and even the Central Plains,

all enjoy no low fame,

But in this Western Regions,

Ma Chao's reputation is not very loud,

I've been here for a while.

But he didn't go through a lot of fierce battles,

This also made him quite bored.

The 20,000 light cavalry that Tucker had encountered earlier,

It was led by Ma Chao,

The 20,000 light cavalry from before,

Crushed by the armies of the Kushan Empire,

Ma Chao led most of the men and horses to retreat all the way east,

This side of the road,

Although it is not as narrow as a ray of sky,

But since most of the terrain is in the mountains,

Therefore, it is very unsuitable for war horses,

The speed of the light cavalry is relatively fast,

Finally merged with the follow-up troops.

It's a very large camp,

It can accommodate nearly 50,000 people.

The mountains are not easy to camp,

All the tents stretched for miles,

Everywhere the banners of the Han army fluttered.

The enemy has stopped the pursuit,

Two miles away,

temporarily set up camp and buried pots to make rice,

Ma Chao quickly walked into the tent of the Chinese army's camp,

As soon as he entered the house, he took off the silver helmet from his head.

Thrown aside,

"This battle is really wretched!"

The person in the tent turned out to be none other than him.

It is just another big help of Ma Teng,

At the same time, he is also a brave general who is also Ma Chao's teacher and friend - Pang De Pang Lingming,

He hurriedly stood up and greeted him,

Picked up the helmet that Ma Chao threw on the ground and said:

"Meng Qi, why is it awkward, I just said let me go, you don't agree, it's uncomfortable to look back now!"

While Pound said this, he kept the book for a long time

There is a thick smile on his face all the time,

Seeing Pound's smile on his face,

Ma Chao's face became even more ugly,

A handsome face is flushed,

It took a long time before a sentence popped up:

"Just look at my jokes, wait until the time comes, I'll get this account back for him!"

Pound smiled bitterly and shook his head,

handed Ma Chao a pot of water,

Hurriedly asked:

"Meng Qi, what about the army of the Kushan Empire? Is it as powerful as it is rumored outside? ”

Ma Chao poured a big mouthful of water,

sighed comfortably,

Only then did he roll his eyes and say:

"Listen to those guys blowing, they're all about to blow into the sky, when I see me today, grandma is a bear, what a thing!"

Pound couldn't help but smile again,

This Ma Chao, it seems that today's defeat,

Let his resentment be deep,

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such a big smell of gunpowder,

hurriedly opened his mouth and comforted:

"Okay, okay, Meng Qi. A little more patience and patience, and it won't be long before it's time for us to exert our might! ”

"Humph! Forget it, Master Lao Tzu has a lot of them, let them bounce for a while! ”

"Hehe, you can say this as if the right priest ordered you to be patient......"

"Make it clear that you ......"

"Hahaha, good, good! Meng Qi, I take back what I just said. I don't know how long it will take for our side to receive the ......."

Ma Chao threw the clean water bottle aside,

He wiped his mouth casually and said:

"There's no need to worry about this, we just took the opportunity to send out a lot of scouts, and we can get accurate news in the afternoon!"

"Then let's just wait."

It's very hot at noon here in the Western Regions,

This blazing temperature,

It lasted until around the time of Shen and did not improve slightly,

Gradually, a cool breeze began to blow,

But although the weather has cooled down,

Tucker and Ma Chao,

But there was still no movement,

The Han army's side seems to be due to the previous defeat,

hasn't recovered yet,

That's why I don't dare to act rashly,

As for Tucker,

is waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements,

Although, he has self-confidence,

With the 50,000 people in our hands,

can completely defeat the less than 50,000 people on the other side,

However, he was a very cautious man.

Now that there are reinforcements coming from your side,

He was happy to continue to let the soldiers rest for a while,

Even if it is early tomorrow morning, it will be too late.

"Report to the general, reinforcements will arrive here before the sun goes down, please be ready to greet the general!"

In the camp of the Kushan Empire,

A herald quickly walked into Tucker's tent,

Got down on one knee and reported quickly.

Tucker is a sturdy man,

deep eye sockets,

angular facial lines,

Looks very manly,

When he heard the herald's report,

A faint smile appeared on his face,

"Get up, you've worked hard, hurry up and rest down there!"

When the herald leaves the camp,

Tucker turned to the pro-soldier commander on the side and asked:

"How is the camp built?"

"General, the expansion is being intensified, and before sunset, the entire camp can accommodate 100,000 people!"

Tucker nodded in satisfaction.

The sky is gradually darkening,

Tucker's long-awaited reinforcements have finally arrived,

I can't really see it in the dim afterglow of the sunset,

You can only see a long dragon composed of countless torches,

Meandering to the road.

"Pass the order, prepare to open the door for reinforcements to enter the camp!"

Tucker was very excited,

And not just because of the arrival of these 50,000 reinforcements,

an increase in the number of troops,

More importantly,

This also means that

He was able to do it early in the morning,

Launched an attack on the Han Dynasty troops on the opposite side.

There is not a single general who does not aspire to establish merit,

Tucker though cautious,

But the desire for victory,

But no worse than anyone else.

An army of 50,000 marched forward,

But it's not an easy thing to do.

Especially in today's dark sky with unknown light,

Tucker just looked at it for a moment,

and the commander of this army,

is also his best friend,

The two entered the tent to greet each other,

The rest of the things,

There are those lieutenants who handle it.

At the rear guard of this great army,

Knowing that he was about to enter the camp,

Coupled with the smooth progress that has been going all along,

The defense of this rear force was somewhat lax,

Many of the soldiers have even put away their weapons,

After all, after a day's journey,

It's inevitable that you will feel tired.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the night,

There was a faint sound of shaking on the ground,

The warriors immediately realized that

This is the movement that only occurs when the cavalry of the brigade charges collectively,

However, there are not many people,

There is a feeling of panic,

You know, their army itself also has a lot of cavalry,

Not to mention the great army led by General Natak,

Maybe it's your own cavalry troops,

who came to meet him,

Many people think so.

However, just when many people were looking to find this cavalry,

Suddenly, there was a series of screams in the ranks,

And then more and more people,

I don't know when,

Feathered arrows flew from the sky like dense raindrops,

In the darkness of the night,

There's no way to tell,

Where did these feathered arrows come from?

"Kill!"

Suddenly a majestic roar sounded,

And then, behind this army,

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing,

The panicked Kushan Empire troops,

didn't react at all,

was pierced through the body by the sharp tip of the gun,

In the dark, I don't know where exactly the enemy is coming from,

I don't know the exact number of enemy troops,

From the cries of the enemy,

can know that the other party is those soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

The warriors of the Kushan Empire are only passively defending,

But hastily prepared defensive formations,

How could it be possible to resist the charge of the cavalry that had been gathering momentum for a long time,

The formation of the troops in the rear was quickly dispersed,

The army of the Kushan Empire instantly appeared in a riot,

The scope of this unrest gradually expanded,

More Kushan Empire soldiers,

Spotted the commotion that appeared in the rear,

There are already some troops in the front ready to turn back and support the rear,

However, the cavalry troops of the Han Dynasty,

Just as when they appeared,

disappeared inexplicably,

Throughout the process of appearance,

It's just a charge,

But this time the surprise attack,

But it also made these soldiers of the Kushan Empire,

I started to get nervous.

After discovering that the traces of the enemy have been lost,

Those who came back to help,

also gradually began to return,

In the process,

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a crisp banging sound,

Immediately after that, countless feathered arrows followed,

This time, the feather arrows were shot even more chaotically,

There is no way to distinguish the specific location of the enemy's troops,

There was immediately a commotion on the side of the Kushan Empire,

In the darkness,

Since it is impossible to distinguish the position of the enemy,

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't do it.

can only keep screaming terrible,

The officers constantly gave instructions,

Let all the soldiers calm down,

The scene immediately plunged into chaos,

The feathered arrows still flew like a torrential rain,

Finally, someone discovered the location of the enemy.
