Ma Fang kept sneering, and regardless of Geng Gong, he continued to dispatch troops. After a while, the deployment was properly deployed, but the three armies were ordered, the ranks of the people were numerous, the horses were wrapped in hooves, and under the cover of the night, they quietly touched Longxi City. At the foot of Longxi City, Ma Fang rode forward, saw that there were no guards at the head of the city, and the city gates were all covered, and thought: "The Qiang people are similar to the Huns, they have no fixed place, they live by grass, there is no city wall, and there are no guards today, but it is normal." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers held their breath and poured into the city like the wind. 30,000 troops rushed in, and when they were halfway through, suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, the shouts shook the sky, and an army suddenly came from behind, the momentum was violent, and the swords were fatal, where could the Han soldiers be the enemy? kept squeezing into the city walls, and many Han soldiers fell into the moat. Ma Fang was in a hurry, thinking that the whole army would enter the city. How do you know that another army was killed in the city, and he was the first general, majestic and murderous, and shouted loudly: "Ma Fang, take your life!" ”

Ma Fang was furious, slapped the horse up, and fought several times, regardless of up and down. However, the Han soldiers were stuck at the city gate, and their forces could not be spread, pushing each other, and most of them fell into the moat, which was full of people. At this time, another army poured out of the city, armed with bows and crossbows, and shot at the moat, and heard only a wailing in the sky, and the river was dyed red, and there were floating corpses everywhere. Ma Fang was frightened, knowing that he was unable to return to the sky, so he hurriedly ordered the rear army to send the front army and kill them outside the city. However, how easy is it to fight your way out? What's more, the Han soldiers were tired from marching and were very impatient to fight, and the Qiang soldiers killed the Han soldiers with one or two swords.

Ma Fang looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have repeatedly received the emperor's favor, I wanted to kill the enemy to serve the country, but I didn't expect that I couldn't kill the enemy, but killed the enemy, I have no regrets about dying, I only hate to have the emperor's trust, today, there is only one death!" Ma Fang cheered up his spirits, slashed left and right, and only hoped to kill one more person and earn one more point. But the Qiang soldiers were not afraid, and tightly surrounded the horse defense, and it reached ten turns.

Suddenly, the Qiang army outside the city screamed and avoided one after another. Ma Fang was startled, cut down a person, and looked around, only to see the first general, dressed in white and white robes, holding a spear, picking left and right stabs, as if entering a no-man's land. There are two generals next to him, one with a fork and the other with a knife, who are desperate to kill. Needless to say, the one who used the gun was Geng Gong, and the other two were Fan Qiang and Yang Yan. Ma Fang was overjoyed and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, everyone follow me, rush out to kill......" When the Han soldiers saw it, their spirits were lifted, and they gathered enough strength to kill backwards. From the foot of Baiyun Mountain, the Qiang soldiers were quite afraid of Geng Gong, and saw that the Han soldiers brought by Geng Gong were different from the others, one was more ruthless than the other, and the four were defeated when they landed, and the Han soldiers were able to break out of the encirclement and retreat.

Suddenly, in the firelight, a Qiang general rushed out of the city, chasing all the way, the Han soldiers were already frightened birds, and they were terrified. Ma Fang said: "Our army has been defeated, the soldiers are not available, and there are chasing soldiers behind, how is it good?" ”

Geng Gong responded: "General, please withdraw, I'll cut off!" At that moment, with a wave of the spear, he led 2,000 soldiers and waited for the Qiang army. Naxi Qiang Qu Shuai Miwu led 10,000 troops to catch up from behind, saw Geng Gong alone in front, followed by 2,000 troops scattered aside, determined to be relaxed, very calm, he knew that Geng Gong was wise and brave, afraid of an ambush, Le Marton army, observed for a long time, sighed, led the army to retreat.

The Han soldiers retreated in panic, inspected the troops, and killed thousands of people. Ma Fang was gloomy, unwilling to see the generals, alone, taking advantage of the night, inspecting the camps, but seeing countless wounded soldiers, wailing for a long time, Ma Fang felt extremely guilty, and muttered: "Am I really old?" Can't fight on the battlefield? No! No! No! After I am the Ma family, I have the blood of heroes and warriors flowing in my blood, how can I lose my mind and lose my mind? If you don't work hard and win wealth and wealth, will you be mediocre and die in the stables all your life? ”

Ma Fang was full of grief and indignation, and when he saw a soldier, he cried bitterly, and Ma Fang said angrily: "Manly man, blood does not shed tears!" A small defeat, why be sad? You cry so bitterly, aren't you afraid of messing up the morale of the army? ”

The Han soldiers lifted up their robes, only to see that his feet were as big as a bucket, blood was accumulated, and he was bruised. ”

The man cried, "General, I weep bitterly, not in fear. My brother and I are in the army. During the battle tonight, I was shot by a poisoned arrow, and my brother came to rescue me without hesitation, but was hacked to death by the Qiang soldiers...... I'm afraid of losing my legs and can't avenge my brother......"

Ma Fang was in awe and asked, "Strong!" What a warrior of my great man! If everyone in the army is like you, even if you are defeated 10,000 times, you don't have to be afraid of injustice! After a pause, Ma Fang squatted down, stroked his feet, and asked, "Your feet, what did the doctor say?" ”

The Han soldiers stared at Ma Fang tightly and said, "The doctor said that it is necessary to suck out the poisonous blood from the arrow wound, and then apply medicinal herbs to heal itself." Before the words fell, Ma Fang leaned over, and the Han soldiers were shocked: "General, what are you doing?" ”

Ma Fang said: "Wouldn't it be good to suck out the poisonous blood?" ”

The Han soldiers hurriedly stopped each other and said, "The doctor said that this poison is unknown, and it can still be safe with people in the legs, but if it enters the throat, it may cause death." Thou art the lord of the army, how can thou take such a great risk? You must know that between heaven and earth, you can't do without yourself, but you can't do without generals! ”

Ma Fang shook his head and said: "As a general, you must be sympathetic, share weal and woe with the soldiers, live and die together!" The responsibility for this defeat lies with me, and if you are injured today, how can I sit idly by? Just poisonous blood, what can I do! After speaking, Ma Fang stuck to the wound of the Han soldiers, sucked hard, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and was about to suck again, when many Han soldiers suddenly turned out after the camp, and a few people came up, pulled the horse defense away, and another person helped him Han soldiers suck up the poisonous blood.

Ma Fang was shocked and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The group of Han soldiers bowed their heads. A Han soldier raised his head and said, "General, if you forgive me for capital crimes, I dare to speak out." ”

Ma Fang seemed to know a little bit about it, and said briskly: "Okay, no matter what, you are not guilty!" ”

Han Bing hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up his courage and said: "General, although you are from a general's family, you are more than half a hundred years old, and you are negligent in the battle formation, how can you be the commander of Pingqiang?" Geng Gong has experienced a hundred battles, both offensive and defensive, he can not only kill the 100,000 troops of the Huns with 300 soldiers, but also hold Shule with 2,000 soldiers for more than a year, he is the most qualified to be the commander of Pingqiang! Tonight's defeat was a big defeat, and there was a lot of discussion in the battalion, all of which said that the general was stubborn and self-serving, did not listen to Geng Gong's persuasion, and insisted on fighting regardless of the fatigue of the troops, resulting in a crushing defeat and unstable morale of the army. As the saying goes, one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Therefore, everyone wants General Geng to preside over the Pingqiang War! When Han Bing said this, he was a little afraid, and looked at Ma Fang, but saw that Ma Fang was calm and had no anger, and his courage suddenly increased, and he said: "But General Ma is the emperor's appointment after all, although we have this intention, but we are undecided, so we set up this plan to see how the general will deal with it, and then make plans." Unexpectedly, the general, with the respect of the commander, risked his life to suck poisonous blood for a pawn. From then on, we will be loyal and dare not have two hearts! ”
