The autumn rain is more lingering than lingering, and at dawn, it gradually receives.

Outside the south gate of Jincheng, Yan Xing sat on a horse, the black cloak behind Ren was blown by the wild wind, and hundreds of armor soldiers, draped neatly, lined up, just waiting quietly.

Yan Xing's heart was not as calm as it looked on the outside.

Ma Chao actually came back?

And to meet under the Golden City?

Does Ma Chao know something? Or is it just a coincidence? If Ma Chao knew, then why did he dare to come to Jincheng, aren't you afraid to really do it? If you don't know, then why not go into the city, but meet outside the city?

Time is in a hurry, Ma Chao will arrive soon, and the conclusions of Yan Xing's analysis are somewhat contradictory to each other, and Yan Xing is not the kind of person who can come up with thousands of plans with a turn of his brain, so he can only make the simplest arrangement, he meets Ma Chao outside the city, and then does an ambush in the city to see if he can lure Ma Chao into the city, or capture or kill......

Is this a good plan? Maybe not so good. Is it bad? It's not that bad, but the problem is that this is already the best plan Yan Xing can think of.

Hundreds of Yan Xing's soldiers, also dressed in armor and cloaks, rode their horses and stood behind Yan Xing, in their eyes, some were at a loss, some were indifferent, and some were stunned.

Originally, Han Sui and Ma Teng, although what it was, the two of them were like Spiegel in their hearts, but they still did quite well on the surface, drinking and partying from time to time, talking about brotherhood, and it was difficult for their soldiers to distinguish the true from the false, and many rectal people firmly believed that there were many people in the two armies of Han Sui and Ma Teng, who got close to each other and called each other brothers, and now, Han Sui's son-in-law wants to deal with Ma Teng's son, this matter will inevitably make these people a little difficult to accept.

The order has been issued, so what can it do?

Many people can only pinch the handle of the knife, and then mutter, brother, brother, you can't blame me, while your heart is pounding, waiting for the final result.

Yan Xing also knew this, so when he received the message that Ma Chao was coming, he began to prepare, while telling his subordinates to calm his heart, while transferring part of his descendants out of Jincheng and going to the Qiang tribes that were close or neutral everywhere, if Ma Chao used a trick to slack off his mind, take the opportunity to gather the Qiang people outside and go straight to the city, and force all the six or seven thousand soldiers directly under Yan Xing's direct jurisdiction in the city, it would be really a big deal.

After the military vigilance was completed and the people's hearts were calmed down a little, Yan Xing took a hundred guards out of the city, waiting for Ma Chao's arrival at the appointed time, the guards brought too much, they seemed to be weak-hearted, and they were afraid that Ma Chao would take the opportunity to attack, and the hundred guards were under the city, no matter what the situation was, they could also deal with it.

As for Ma Chao's appointment outside the city, not inside the city, it is estimated that he may not be wary of Yan Xing, all in all, in Yan Xing's opinion, Ma Chao may know something, but it may not have been specifically determined, so making an appointment under Jincheng should be a temptation, and then make corresponding judgments according to Yan Xing's actions.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to be stable.

can't show any flaws, of course, if you can lure Ma Chao into the city, and then capture and kill it in one fell swoop, it will naturally be the most ideal result.

If it were according to Yan Xing's own idea, he would never choose to turn his face with Ma Chao in such a situation, since Han Sui is not dead, then as long as Han Sui appears, then Ma Chao will naturally not be able to continue to bewitch the Qiang people of various tribes, and there is no need to go to such great lengths to do this and that, but the problem is the Han family at home......

With such a screaming voice and ignoring it, even if Yan Xing ordered the whole mansion to shut up, how much effect could it play? The people in the mansion have always been Han Shi's ideas, although the people selected are all people who can hold and lick her, as for whether these people are sincere or not, she doesn't distinguish at all, so after the roar, she is in a good mood, but as for the impact and consequences, Yan Xing has to wipe her ass.

Anyway, it's not once or twice, get used to it.

To say that the Han family was actually good when he was young, when Yan Xing was a poor boy, during the period when the two of them looked at each other, the Han family even ignored Han Sui's three shen and five orders, and even publicly stated that he wanted to follow Yan Xing, and secretly tried his best to get some food and clothing from home to Yan Xing, Yan Xing didn't want it, and the Han family would lose his temper in the same way, and Yan Xing had to coax, coax, and it became a habit.

It's just that this love between the two people, after coaxing again and again, slowly faded indifferent, and now the only thing left is just the responsibility of being a father and a husband.

All kinds of thoughts turned over and over in his mind, so that Yan Xing, who was waiting there, couldn't help but be a little irritable, pinched and pinched the horsewhip in his hand, and finally just let out a long breath, and waved a horsewhip in the air, and the ears of the cyan and satin-colored healthy horse under his crotch were erected, and his hooves were tightened, but he found that the owner on the horseback was pulling the reins, and he had no intention of rushing out, so he could only snort and shave a few hooves to express his dissatisfaction.

"Here we are...... Here it comes! The guard on the side suddenly spoke up, causing a commotion.

Yan Xing looked at it closely, and couldn't help but whip it over, and scolded: "Where have your eyes grown!" What nonsense! ”

It turned out that someone did come, but it was not Ma Chao, but a group of ragged Qiang people. When these Qiang people slowly approached, they suddenly wailed, and a group of people threw themselves down in front of Yan Xing's horse, babbling about the tragic things that happened to their tribe under the general Zhengxi.

Yan Xing frowned, listened, and then forcibly held back his impatience, interrupted Yak Qiang's words, waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this matter later, I still have important things here, you go first...... Well, let's go and wait. ”

There are soldiers in ambush behind the city gates, and it is not good to expose them after all.

"Fuck off! Hear me! Get out of the way! The guards scolded and drove the yak men aside.

After another moment, I saw Ma Chao's flag appear in the distance, and then a team of people and horses appeared in sight, and the Yan Xing guards, who were waiting somewhat impatiently, couldn't help but let out a low noise, and the horses began to be restless, but they were strangled by their masters, and they could only snort on the spot, gouge their hooves, and neigh uneasily.

The black banner of the Ma family that finally appeared here, with red stripes on a black background, a big horse character on it, and seven or eight other flags also appeared, writing some of the names inherited by Ma Chao from Ma Teng, hunting and rolling in the wind together, but also a little momentum.

Under these banners, there are dozens of cavalrymen, all of whom are agile men, wearing helmets and armor, and at a glance, they know that they are strong soldiers who have fought in the sea of corpses and blood, and their momentum is completely different from ordinary soldiers.

Yan Xing's fingers pinching the horsewhip turned slightly white, and the guards waiting in line behind him also stared with wide eyes, just looking at the prospect. These guards of Yan Xing, although they are also considered to be strong in Jincheng, are still a big gap in the face of Ma Chao, the last embers of the elite who fought out of the real formation.

With every flying of the horse's hooves, every moment of time passed, Yan Xing had an impulse, wanting to raise his hand to give an order, to give the order to attack, the horse whip he was holding was almost sweating, and more than a dozen of his henchmen were already involuntarily stepping forward, guarding beside him, just holding his breath and waiting for his order.

A voice continued to swirl in Yan Xing's heart, as if to remind him of the danger coming, "No, no! Come into the city, close the city and defend it, this Ma Chao is not good, and he can't let him approach! ”

But reason told Yan Xing that he couldn't give this order, not only did the previous ambush completely lose its effect, but it was also equivalent to giving Ma Chao a warning, which meant that Yan Xing and Ma Chao could only fight face to face with their own strength, even if they won in the end, I am afraid they would have to pay a lot of price.

Is it a heart, or a gamble?

Staring at Ma Chao and the others who were getting closer and closer, Yan Xing saw that they didn't have the blades in their hands, so he let go of his hand slightly and exhaled. Maybe the situation is not bad, things still have to have a beginning and an end, since the ambush arrangement has been made, you can't change the order overnight, maybe you are just scaring yourself, Ma Chao may not know it, if you can lure Ma Chao into the city......

Time seems to be extremely short, and yet it seems to be extremely long.

Just when Yan Xing could barely restrain himself, but his subordinates were almost about to pull out their blades, a long command voice suddenly came from the Ma Chao queue, and the knights holding the flag in front of them reined in their horses with one hand, and a long row of healthy horses neighed, and gradually stopped a hundred meters away, cutting the clods of soil into a mess, and the cavalry behind also stopped one after another, making way for a passage.

In the passage, the figure of Ma Chao was revealed, the white horse and the golden gun, and the people and horses were also in spirit, surrounded by several guards, and slowly moved forward.

Yan Xing and the others at the gate of Jincheng City seemed to be relieved. slowed down the horse's speed, which means that at least at this moment, it can't be beaten, so it means that Ma Chao may really be here to test, if he copes well, maybe he can really lead him to the bait......

The distance between the two sides was a hundred steps, Ma Chao moved forward a little, and laughed at Yan Xing: "Brother Yan, why did you see that someone is coming, and he looks like this?" Is it unwelcome? It's just these dozens of brothers, so you can't even be afraid of this, right? ”

Yan Xing was embarrassed for a moment, he was a little nervous, and he forgot to step forward to say hello......

"Ahaha...... That's where the words, welcome, welcome! Brother Ma is also expected to be fortunate during this time, why not go to the city and let Brother Wei pick up the wind and wash the dust for you? I wonder if Brother Ma will appreciate it? Yan Xing stretched out his hand to the city and said with a smile.

"Into the city?" Ma Chao stretched his neck, glanced in the direction of the city gate, and said, "Brother Yan shouldn't have any ambush in the city gate, this little brother of the Hongmen Banquet can't bear it......"

"Haha, joke, you and my brother, what else is there to ...... Hongmen who are not Hongmen" Yan Xing laughed, "Brother Ma, don't listen to the slanderous rumors of the villain, and ruin the friendship between brothers!" ”

"Oh? Really? Ma Chao said with some confusion, "Then why did you send someone to my tribe to peep?" ”

Yan Xing saw Ma Chao questioning, his heart was lowered, since he was willing to ask, it meant that he would not do it immediately, so he said: "Brother, how can you say that!" I saw that you haven't returned for a long time, and I miss it in my heart, so I sent someone over to ask one or two, how can I say it's a peep! If that's the case, if the people in your tribe enter Jincheng to purchase goods, it can also be said that they have come to Jincheng to take a peek? ”

Just when Yan Xing was talking, he suddenly heard a warning voice from the city wall behind him, and just when Yan Xing and the others subconsciously looked back, they heard Ma Chao shouting

"Do it!"

Under the horse's shout, the cavalry of the followers burst out, drew the javelins that had been prepared long ago from the side of the horse, rushed forward a few steps, and threw them violently!

Yan Xing subconsciously pulled out his war knife and brandished and cut off a few throwing spears that were thrown at him, but the guards around Yan Xing did not have such a fast reaction speed, and immediately several people were hit by the throwing guns, and streams of blood shot out, and they fell off their horses in a scream.

The yak Qiang who was still on the side, seemed to be miserable and miserable, these people who were harmless to humans and animals, I don't know when they had quietly touched the side of Yan Xing and the others, and they all pulled out the short blades hidden on their bodies and pounced, and it was precisely because of Yak Qiang's abnormal behavior that they were discovered by the soldiers at the head of the city and raised an alarm, but unfortunately Yan Xing and the others' attention was all on Ma Chao, and they were actually close to these yak Qiang people for a while!

A yak Qiang person was slashed in the chest by Yan Xing's guards, and the blood mist gushed out, making a sound like a whistle, staining the ground red in a blink of an eye, but more yak Qiang people took advantage of Yan Xing and the others' negligence, and some even got into the horse's belly!

When the short blade is close, it is more convenient than the long weapon, the human legs and the horse's legs are almost bare, even if the skin of the war horse is slightly thicker, it can't resist the sharp cut, and the neighing sound jumps, and the formation is becoming more and more chaotic.

In just a few dozen steps, between a few breaths, Ma Chao and the others had already thrown two rounds of javelins, and then crashed in, the war horses were intertwined with each other, and people and people raised knives and guns to fight each other, dyeing everything around them red. From time to time, screams rang out, and the legs of horses and people trampled the blood-stained land into a muddy place, and the place where they were still laughing and talking changed into a Shura killing field in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers at the head of the city shouted frantically, but in the midst of the screams of the people and the neighing of the horses, they were like broken pieces of cloth, and they could not be heard clearly.

Yan Xing stared at Ma Chao who rushed in, and was about to shout loudly, letting the soldiers in ambush in the city rush out, but suddenly saw the billowing smoke and dust rising behind Ma Chao's figure, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, this Ma Chao, not only these people in front of him, this, this is going to fight the city!

Through the figure of Ma Chao and the others who came to kill, Yan Xing saw that three high puffs of smoke and dust had risen in the distance, and he didn't know how many knights were urging the horses to gallop here, and the sound of thunderous horses' hooves was faintly heard......

"Go there!" Ma Chao shook his spear and killed the Yan Xing guards who were blocking in front of him, and showed a cruel smile at Yan Xing, "Brother Yan, don't go!" ”
