Chapter 166: Flooding Huaicheng (I)
Yao Guo received the order. Mi Wu took off his armor, put it on Yao Guo's body, and said: "Geng Gong is brave, don't fight lightly, you have to be more careful, when you are in battle, pay attention to Fan Qiang's bow and arrow!" ”
Yao Guo was very moved and said: "Qu Shuai, rest assured, I will return triumphantly on this trip!" ”
The cold moon hangs in the east, and there is no light. Ma Fang stood at the head of the city, and when he saw the dense camp tents around, he couldn't help but sigh. He had lost weight, his cheeks were sunken deeply, and he didn't know how long he could last. Those dreams have faded away, he has a little hatred, why don't you come to the rescue after so long? Perhaps, Geng Gong has died in the Gobi, and there are no reinforcements under his eyes, so he has to die for the country, sprinkled with blood, sprinkled on the frontier, but he does not insult the ancestors of the Ma family! Thinking of this, Ma Fang's gaze was desperate and strong!
At this moment, there was a knock of footsteps. Ma Fang was startled, and saw Zhang Wu hurriedly ascending the city, his face was happy, and he said: "General, general, there is salvation, there is salvation." ”
Ma Fang turned around and looked at Zhang Wu, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. Zhang Wu handed over a piece of animal skin and said with a smile: "I was in the tent, and the soldiers picked up an arrow, and a cloth was tied to the arrow, and I opened it, but it was eight words: go to the west gate tomorrow morning and prepare a boat raft." ”
Ma Fang took it, looked at it over and over again, and said: "There is a Qiang general Yao Guo at the West Gate, who is very brave and has the most soldiers, why did you ask me to go to the West Gate?" But who wrote it? Could it be the trick of the Qiang soldiers? Deliberately want me to go through the west gate, and then surround and annihilate him? The light in his eyes faded out.
Zhang Wu grinned and said, "The general doesn't have to worry. He handed over another arrow and said: "I took a closer look, but this cloth is made in Luoyang, and Xiqiang is a place outside the country, and there will never be one, besides, this arrow is Han style, and there is a Qiang character at the end of the arrow, which is clearly Fan Qiang, a subordinate of Geng Gong!" ”
Ma Fang hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "This Qiang character, can't it be a Qiang soldier?" He took the paper silk, looked at it again and again, and muttered: "This paper silk is made by Cai Lun, how can the Qiang soldiers have it?" After walking back and forth a few times, he threw his knife at the ground, and said in a strong voice: "I have made up my mind, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to go to the west gate tomorrow morning!" Zhang Wu gave the order to go down, but when he saw that Ximen Qiang's troops were weak, he rushed out to kill! ”
Zhang Wu was overjoyed and said, "Obey!" After thinking about it again, he said, "General, what's going on with this boat and raft?" Ma Fang shook his hand: "Although Huaicheng is low-lying, the Gobi has always had little rain, although there is a river not far away, it has dried up, what kind of boat to prepare!" ”
Zhang Wu got the order and went to prepare. Ma Fang picked up the knife, inserted it into the sheath, sat on the gravel with his knees crossed, and looked at the cold moon, stunned. Wenxin School
The armor was cold, and the scimitar was shining, waking up the sleeping Gobi. At the west gate of Huaicheng, there was a sudden "squeak", and countless Han soldiers rushed out, and the shouts were overwhelming, and the murderous atmosphere was empty. I was shocked, Yao Guo had just left on the front foot, and his soldiers had not yet been established, but when he saw the Han soldiers rushing towards him with murderous spirit, he secretly screamed bitterly, but there was no way, and shouted: "Today, the Han soldiers have broken through the siege, desperate, we have been waiting for the siege for many days, and the success or failure is in this move!" After speaking, he danced the big knife and rushed into the Han soldier formation, slashing left and right, unstoppable. Seeing that Qu Shuai was like this, the Qiang soldiers were of course bold, and they fought with the Han soldiers, and the two shouts shook the sky.
After killing for a while, the Qiang soldiers were ashamed to be invincible, and Mi Wu was a little frightened. At this time, there was a sudden sound, and countless torches were lit, and there was one person in the lead, with long hair fluttering, blazing eyes, holding a saber, majestic, it was King Huyan, I saw it, and hurriedly said: "King Huyan, it's just right, hurry up and block the Han soldiers!" King Huyan snorted coldly, did not answer, and with a wave of the knife, the Huns rushed forward and immediately suppressed the offensive of the Han soldiers.
Ma Fang was covered in sweat, and when he saw the Huns coming to help, he couldn't help but be afraid, and said in his heart: "The Qiang soldiers and the Huns are obviously prepared, but the note is deliberately luring me out of the city?" However, now that the situation is like fire and water, it is impossible to retreat to Huaicheng. Only fight but die, and repay the emperor's grace. Thinking of this, a big knife made it more and more powerful, swinging left and right, killing many people in an instant. However, after all, the Han soldiers were few soldiers, and they gradually lost their opponents and fell one after another.
At the last moment, suddenly a landslide cracked, behind the Qiang soldiers, there was a huge wave, several feet high, roaring and swept in, the Qiang soldiers, the Huns did not understand, stared at the place stunned, caught off guard, has been swept away by the monstrous waves, Ma Fang was overjoyed, is about to take advantage of the situation to break through, but the water and fire are ruthless, how can you know people? The Han soldiers were also swept away by the flood, and even the horse defense was rushed to the gate of the city, he hurriedly climbed the city wall, and shouted: "Retreat to Huaicheng, retreat to Huaicheng!" "The Huns did not know the nature of water, and when they fell into the water, they sank like stones one by one, and they were lucky enough to climb on a branch or a city wall, or they could save their lives, but they wailed. The Qiang soldiers are still good and quite aware of water, but they are panicked for a while, only struggling in the water, and they don't know how many people have died.
Ma Fang sat and climbed up to the top of the city, saw the huge waves, couldn't help but be happy and worried, but at a loss, suddenly remembered that on the paper silk, the last three words for the boat raft, couldn't help but be annoyed, couldn't help hating Geng Gong. At this time, in Huaicheng, I suddenly saw many small boats, and in the first boat, there was a person standing, shouting loudly: "General, general." That person was Hou Jing, Ma Fang was overjoyed, and said: "God help me, God help me!" ”
Hou Jing jumped on the city and said, "General, get on the boat quickly, salvage the Han soldiers, and kill the Huns and Qiang soldiers, and then break through the siege, in one fell swoop!" ”
Ma Fang held his hand and said, "If it weren't for Jun, there would be no place for the Han soldiers to die!" ”
At the moment, I took a boat, looking for Han soldiers, but also saved thousands of people, and went down the river, saw the Huns, Qiang soldiers, shot them with arrows, cut them with knives, and killed them happily, but after this battle, 30,000 Han soldiers died and half of them died, and the horses were not able to be sad.
At this time, a Han soldier saw a person on a tree, rocking the boat over, but it was a Hun who hurriedly raised his knife to cut it. How do you know that this Hun is very fierce, suddenly jumped, jumped to the boat, the Han soldiers were shocked, the Huns had already grabbed the knife, the Han soldiers were killed, the rest of the Han soldiers all raised their knives to surround them, but they were not defeated by the Huns, they were all killed. This scene happened to be seen by Ma Fang, and Ma Fang exclaimed: "That Hun is so brave and extraordinary, I don't know who it is?" ”
Zhang Wu looked at it and exclaimed: "General, this person is King Huyan, the Zuoxian King of the Huns!" Ma Fang was overjoyed and said: "This is a credit given to us by God, how can we miss it!" So he and Zhang Wu, Hou Jing and others rocked the boat over and went to capture King Huyan.
