As he got a few years older, Ma Chao's martial arts and strength have improved a lot. He climbed to the top of the path in the northeast corner in three or two steps, and first looked at it, thinking that he still couldn't knock down the camp on the opposite side alone. So he retreated and climbed up one by one with the people behind him.

Arrows rained down on the platform, and many of the settlers were hit by arrows, but because of the protection of their armor, most of them were only injured and not killed. By the time Pound climbed up, the trail was already crowded with one or two hundred people.

Ma Chao looked at the enemy camp in front of him, then at his own soldiers and horses behind him, and said to Pang De: "It's enough!" ”

Pound nodded in agreement, then turned to the Andingbing and shouted, "Come with me!" ”

After that, he had already rushed out in front of Ma Chao. No matter what, Ma Chao is the son of Ma Teng, who is too guarded by Anding, and he can't let Ma Chao go to the front to take the lead. More than 100 soldiers followed Pound and rushed up the camp along a slightly steep path.

There was a faint shouting from the opposite side, and then the defenders divided a part of the people and shot arrows at Pound and the others on the path. If you are holding a thirty-pound object, you may not be able to run very fast because of the center of gravity, but if you are wearing a thirty-pound steel armor, then the all-out charge speed will only be a little slower than normal.

Pound lowered his head, put the shield on his head, and in a few breaths he had already rushed to the bottom of the camp.

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Cheng lifted the horsewhip, pointed to Pang De, who stretched out his hand and was as strong as an ape, and said with a smile: "Ling Ming Wuyong is not under General Zhang Heng." ”

Pang De's word Lingming shows that martial arts are counted in Anding County, and even in the entire Liangzhou.

Because of the fact that he fought a few battles with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and the relationship between them was very tense, Zhang Heng only brought 3,000 people over this time, and the rest of the soldiers and horses stayed in Wudu to guard their homes. When he heard Chen Cheng praise Pang De's martial bravery, he felt a little resentful in his heart, and said loudly: "If the lord asks me to bring the black armor army forward, it will be better than the Anding people!" ”

Ma Teng sneered when he heard this, Zhang Heng's black armor army can fight, but so what? Isn't it time to climb the mountain every day in that shabby place in Wudu? On the other hand, the Anding Ma family has become more and more prosperous over the years, not only with strong soldiers, but also with a lot of shares in the factories near Yinchuan, and the annual dividends alone can be more than the taxes of the entire county of Wudu.

Zhang Heng squinted at Ma Teng and said unhappily: "General Ma thinks what a certain family said is wrong?" ”

When he was first transferred to Wudu, he was still very excited. In the past, he shared Zhangye with Cheng Yin equally, and only half of the county's territory, how could he compare the happiness of being too guarded by a county? And when he was in Zhangye, he was surrounded by wolf-like Xiliang princes and vicious Xianbei Zahu, thinking about how to protect himself all day long.

But after arriving in Wudu, there is the rich Hanzhong Plain below, if you can defeat Hanzhong, you can take the opportunity to enter Shuzhong, then the situation is completely different, but the facts quickly gave Zhang Heng a blow to the head. Although the five rice thieves in Hanzhong are not very good in combat, they are numerous, have high morale, and have geographical advantages, although the skills of fighting are not very good, but it is really difficult to deal with. The Black Armor Army and the Hanzhong Army fought for half a year, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and the things they caught couldn't even make up for the losses.

As a last resort, he could only stop fighting first, preparing to accumulate more strength, and then compete with those rice thieves under Zhang Lu's command. However, his ability to lead troops to fight is not bad, but his ability to govern the local area is not enough. After staying in Wudu for two years, the little money and food received was just enough to train an extra thousand people, and if you want to expand the army on a large scale, you don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Just when Zhang Heng was at a loss in the face of the predicament, the state pastoral government issued an edict to let the county guards prepare to lead troops to Guanzhong. After receiving the edict, he was ecstatic, and he was able to transfer from the poor place of Zhangye to Wudu, because of Chen Cang's outstanding performance in the two battles, so Chen Cheng took a high look at him.

As long as he can make great contributions again, maybe he will be directly transferred to Guanzhong. Let whoever wants to deal with those hateful rice thieves deal with them! We're not waiting!

So he rushed to bring three thousand black armor soldiers over, just to show his skills again in front of Chen Cheng. But Yang Qiu and Ma Teng had a better relationship, so they gave Ma Teng the opportunity to take the lead.

Ma Teng also sneered when he heard Zhang Heng's malicious question, and said: "Everyone will say big words, how to see the truth on the battlefield!" ”

When this side was not dealing with it, under the camp of the Fufeng Army, Pang De had no intention of stopping at all. The moment he hit the camp, he threw away his shield, and then he pressed his feet and hands on the wall, and the man was already in the air, and then he fell on the wall.

As soon as he stood still, he reached out and touched his waist, and the five-foot-long horizontal knife was already in his palms. The sword light was like a rainbow, blooming in Pound's palm. With a sword in both hands, he relied on his superiority in weapons and strength to kill several people in succession on the ramparts.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Heng was still quite dissatisfied with Ma Teng, but at this time, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw Pang De being so brave. After becoming the lord of the first army, he dared to "ascend first" and "fall into battle", but he was not as brave as Pound.

When Chen Cheng saw it, he was surprised and liked, and was about to say something to Ma Teng, when he saw Ma Chao following closely behind Pang De, ignoring the arrows shot from the barrier, rubbing his body and climbing onto the camp. He and Pang De were the first to climb the barrier, and before they even waited for the follow-up soldiers and horses to follow, they had already been cleared out for a long time.

Ma Chao's brave Chen Cheng knows, but he doesn't like Ma Mengqi's temper very much, thinking that his person is "strong and unrighteous", so he doesn't need it. At this time, I saw Ma Chao's brave posture, but he also had a heart of love. If there is a big chaos today, the princes of all parties are spending a lot of money to seek virtuous ministers and fierce generals, and Xiliang is no exception.

Wouldn't it be a pity for a fierce general like Ma Chao to be buried in the countryside?

Pang De and Ma Chao went to the camp, but the Anding army behind them did not have the same skills as them, and they could not climb up the camp three or four meters high in heavy armor. However, they also had their own way, only to see that the people in the front row paused, and the soldiers behind stepped on the backs of their comrades and turned over.

On the way to the charge, more than 20 people were either killed by arrows or stoned because of the lack of a strict formation, but when the soldiers rushed forward, the defenders could no longer inflict any casualties. The bravery of the Xiliang Army was already above the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, but the military discipline has always been not strict, and the battle was also very bad, so it was trapped in the border of Xiliang.

After Chen Cheng armed this group of brave warriors and used the method of war, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army has made great progress. Even if it is not a tooth soldier, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of various counties is much stronger than before.

There were not many defenders in the camp, just over a hundred. After the Xiliang army rushed in, they didn't even have a place to escape. After resisting for a while, the desperate defenders laid down their weapons and fell to their knees, putting their lives in the hands of their enemies. Ma Chao killed the rise, he swung his knife and slashed over a defender who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and roared: "Stand up, you cowards! Instead of kneeling and begging for mercy, why not fight with someone in a happy fight? ”

With that, he raised his horizontal knife and went to slash at the enemy who had surrendered. Pang De threw away the weapon in his hand, stepped forward to hug Ma Chao, and persuaded: "Chen Yuanjun is below, if he knows that the young general killed the prisoners of war, he will definitely not like it." ”

If Pang De moved out of Ma Teng, Ma Chao might still ignore it, but he was still a little in awe of Chen Cheng. It's not okay if you don't be in awe, Chen Yuanjun's martial arts and courage have exceeded Ma Chao's imagination, even if he was unconvinced before, he has gradually changed his views in the past two years.

Hearing Pang De say this, Ma Chao stupidly put away the horizontal knife, spat on the ground, and scolded: "It's cheap for you waste!" ”

The captives were scolded, and they were all so ashamed that they couldn't even lift their heads. But they can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that the Xiliang thief would be able to fight better than the last time he came? And they are staying in this hellish place, and they have nowhere to retreat if they want to, so if they don't surrender, are they really all killed?

Chen Cheng was very happy to see that it didn't take long for the Anding Army to capture a camp, which showed that his efforts in the past few years had not been in vain, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army was much better than before, which was mainly due to the fact that the discipline was much better. Unlike the last time they attacked Chencang, the armies did not listen to orders at all, and when they saw that there was a benefit, they rushed up, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they ran quickly.

Chen Cheng turned his head and said to Yang Qiu: "Send someone to send the prisoners to the rear to carry grain and grass, and tell them that as long as our army takes Fufeng, let them go home." ”

"No!"

A good beginning is half the success, after breaking a camp, Yang Qiu sent soldiers and horses from each county to attack the camp of the Fufeng army on the periphery in turn. It took two days to break through four places, and one of them was too dangerous, and it took more than 100 people to be killed and wounded.

Then the soldiers and horses advanced to the city of Chencang, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard the remaining camps. The imperial system of Chen Cang's outer defense was managed by Duan Xuan for a long time, but he was not too guarded, the manpower and materials in his hands were very scarce before, and the purpose of establishing those camps in the periphery was not to block the resurgent Xiliang army, but to buy time for Chen Cang, so that the reinforcements could come.

From this point of view, Duan Xuan's purpose is still half the success. However, Duan Xuan was not happy at all, the original purpose was halfway achieved, but now he had no grasp of holding Chen Cang at all. The Huangfu Song Army, which was once relied on as a backer, no longer exists, where can there be reinforcements now?

Does it depend on Lu Bu?

Duan Xuan is also from Xiliang and has some friendship with Han Sui. After Han Wenyue came over from the hinterland of Guanzhong, Duan Xuanping retreated left and right, and asked in a low voice: "General Han, in your opinion, is General Lu's soldiers and horses enough to fight against the current Xiliang army?" ”

Although he was a little ashamed of Han Sui's personality, Duan Xuan also admitted that Han Sui was a rare smart person in the Xiliang realm. Now the situation is critical, Chen Cheng in front is a man-eating tiger, and Lu Bu who came behind is a hungry wolf. These tiger and wolf generations all stared at the fat of Fufeng, which made Duan Xuan feel like a needle felt.
