Yang Yan applauded and smiled: "Brother's plan is very clever, this time I will definitely kill the Qiang soldiers!" Then he and Fan Qiang each led an army, and took advantage of the night to ambush themselves.

The wind blew, rolled up the dead branches and leaves, flew all over the sky, and disappeared into the vast sky in an instant. In the distance, the firelight was lit, and the sound of shouting and killing came faintly, Geng Gong sighed, looked up at the ink-fountain-like sky, and thought, "How is Yurong?" On such a dark night, she is alone, will she be afraid? At this time, the faces of Ma Juan and Ruyan appeared in Geng Gong's mind, and he suddenly felt a cramp in his heart, and it became difficult to breathe. I don't know how long it took, the sound of killing gradually subsided, but I didn't see the defeat of the horse for a long time.

Fan Qiang couldn't bear it, rode over, and said, "Could it be that our army was ambushed and didn't survive?" Brother, it's not a way for us to stay here, it's better to rush over and take revenge! ”

Geng Gong shook his head and said, "That's not it." He frowned, looked up at the empty sky, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's wait." ”

Fan Qiang was slightly strange, opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it again, and thought, "When did my brother become so timid?" He was about to leave, a horse suddenly galloped, the horse did not stop, but the person jumped down, jumped in front of Geng Gong, and said: "General Geng, the Qiang soldiers have been defeated, General Ma is chasing for dozens of miles, and now you are called to allocate the camp to continue to advance and intercept the Qiang soldiers!" ”

Geng Gong was taken aback: "Our army won?" There was no trace of joy in his voice.

When the man saw this, he was very displeased, and said, "Our army has won a great victory, why is the general unhappy?" Does it have to be the defeat of our army to fulfill the general's wish? ”

Geng Gong shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. The Qiang soldiers are fierce, why should they be defeated quickly? ”

"Could it be that to kill and defeat the Qiang soldiers, only you are allowed to do it, not General Ma? The military order is like a mountain, and the general is good at doing it himself! After the man finished speaking, he snorted, got on his horse, and shouted: "Drive!" The horse spread his hooves and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Geng Gong sighed, so he had to gather two thousand troops and gallop away. Yang Yan said: "Brother, Ma Fang actually defeated the Qiang soldiers!" ”

Fan Qiang said: "If there is no brother to make a plan to break through the city, then even if the horse defense has three heads and six arms, it is useless!" ”

Geng Gong shook his head and said: "Brother Yan, Brother Qiang, you look at the ground, the hoof prints are messy, and the armor is horizontal, but how can there be a corpse of a Qiang soldier?" The Qiang soldiers are brave and good at fighting, how can they be defeated so easily? This is obviously tempting the enemy! ”

Yang Yan thought about it and suddenly realized: "That's exactly the case." ”

"Let's hurry up and catch up with General Ma and stop him from chasing and killing, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Geng Gong stopped talking and led the army to march quickly.

All the way to the night, all the way to the autumn wind. After more than an hour, they finally caught up with the Han army. I saw a general with a long knife, commanding the Han soldiers to surround and kill the Qiang soldiers, and those Qiang soldiers were nothing more than the old, weak, sick and disabled, but they were all very fierce, with no fear on their faces, dancing with the swords, fighting with the Han soldiers, flesh and blood flying, and the Han soldiers couldn't bargain for half a bit!

Fan Qiang was furious, bent his bow and arrows, and shot all the Qiang soldiers to death. The general was coming, with a gloomy face, but it was horse defense, he spent a lot of effort to surround some Qiang soldiers, but he didn't expect Fan Qiang to shoot them all, how not to be angry? Then he said coldly: "General Geng is so powerful, he killed dozens of Qiang soldiers without much effort!" "Let's play

Geng Gong arched his hand and said hurriedly: "General, don't chase after the poor!" The Qiang soldiers' plan is a plan to lure the enemy, and I hope the general will think twice! ”

Ma Fang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Are you deceiving me that I don't understand the art of war?" ”

Geng Gong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" General Ma, the Qiang soldiers have always been fierce, they only know how to move forward, but they don't know how to retreat. Our army broke through the city, although the Qiang soldiers retreated, but our army did not pursue in time, the Qiang soldiers are enough to establish a firm foothold, and they will never flee like now! ”

At this time, a general came over and said sharply: "General Geng, you have to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige!" Geng Gong was taken aback, but it was Zhang Wu who came. Zhang Wu said again: "I heard that you once used 300 soldiers to block the 100,000 troops of the Huns, what a hero!" But now, they are afraid of soldiers like tigers? Wouldn't it disgrace Ling Zuying's name? ”

Geng Gongzhuang said: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, how can you stick to the rules when facing the enemy?" When the situation is in place, grasp the fighter plane, and sometimes pursue the enemy in one go; Sometimes Taoguang is obscure, and the troops retreat. ”

Zhang Wu sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Are you afraid that General Ma will pacify Xiqiang in one fell swoop and rob you of your credit! ”

Fan Qiang was furious: "Zhang Wu, you can't be a villain's heart, and you can't spend the belly of a gentleman!" How can my brother care! ”

Zhang Wu ignored him, turned his head, and said to Ma Fang: "General, the Qiang soldiers have fled, let's hurry up and chase it, Hou Jing has recaptured the three county seats!" ”

Ma Fang was overjoyed, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled: "Then what are you waiting for?" Chase! He looked at Geng Gong again: "If you don't want to go with me, just garrison your troops here, and wait for me to pacify Xiqiang, see what you say!" Without waiting for Geng Gong to reply, together with Zhang Wu, he led the army to run away like the wind.

Geng Gong sighed and shook his head, muttering: "The pride has risen, irretrievable, this is obviously a plan to lure the enemy, General Ma claims to be familiar with military books, why can't he see through this?" Alas, the Han soldiers are in danger, how can I sit idly by! After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Brother Qiang, Brother Yan, let's follow General Ma, in case the army is defeated, it is good to have a response!" ”

Fan Qiang was indignant and said: "Brother, Ma Fang is trapped in Longxi City, when Zhang Wu came to beg you, he bowed his head and bowed his waist, respectfully, hum, didn't he kill a few Qiang soldiers, but he was arrogant, and he couldn't live forever!" If it weren't for you, Ma Fang would have died in Longxi City! Brother, we're stationed here, don't care about them! Yang Yan also nodded yes.

Geng Gong shook his head and rode his horse into the vast night. Fan Qiang and Yang Yan had no choice but to follow.

The night finally faded away, and the mountain wind blew up a round of red sun, embedded in the horizon. The Gobi was full of dust, murderous air, and among the dead grass, there were corpses in twos and threes, and the red blood stained the yellow sand and gravel. On this night, Geng Gong rode the horse like flying, and urged the horse to defend, but they were all stopped. Watching the Han soldiers walk towards the encirclement step by step, Geng Gong didn't know how sad he was, but he was powerless to stop all this. He sat on the gravel floor, gasping for air. At this time, he rode from the east, came to the front, flew off his horse, and shouted: "General Geng, where is General Ma?" ”

Geng Gong was startled, stood up, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man arched his hand: "The villain is the imperial guard, and his name is not worth mentioning." The general is famous, who in the world doesn't know it? This time, I came to follow the emperor's holy decree, General Xuanma returned to Luoyang, leveled the Qiang military, and handed over to General Geng to be responsible. ”

Geng Gong was startled, and slightly showed his liking, ran forward, held the man's hand hard, and said: "General Ma chased and killed the Qiang soldiers, and refused to return to the army, you have a holy decree, he has to stop the army, the Han soldiers have been saved, the Han soldiers have been saved!" ”
