Chapter 3 Beacon City XII

In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), near the imperial capital Chang'an, Changping Temple.

When Ma Teng first came to Chang'an, he originally wanted to seek a high-ranking official, but Li Wei did not agree because he had participated in the alliance of the Kwantung princes.

After receiving a negative answer, Ma Teng was furious, believing that Li Wei had controlled the government for several years and had become arrogant and had no one in his sights. So, he led his army from Baqiao to Changpingguan, preparing to capture Chang'an.

In fact, as early as when he set off from Baqiao, he had already received the news that the doctor Chong Shao, the servant Ma Yu, and Zuo Zhonglang would have resented Li Dao for a long time, and if Ma Teng could really attack, they were willing to help as an internal response.

But to his surprise, Li Dao actually attacked first.

At this time, he rode in front of his 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, looking at Li Dao, Guo Yan and the 80,000 army behind them.

Ma Teng drove his horse forward, followed by a young man, who looked like seventeen or eighteen, very burly, but his face was cold, and his eyes stared straight at the enemy army in front of him.

Li Dao and Guo Yan also came out of the battle, and the two sides came to the center, stopped their horses and looked at each other.

"General Zhengxi, don't come unharmed." Although it was a polite remark, Li Dao, who spoke, had a cold face.

"Li Dao, Guo Yan, since you have been stationed in Chang'an, you have monopolized power, caused chaos and chaos, and even prevented Your Majesty from hearing the Holy Hearing, making loyalty and treachery unclear. I will take rid of you and other evils for the great Han today! Ma Teng said righteously.

"Hahahaha!" Li Dao laughed, "Ma Teng, if you want to fight, why do you bother to say this crown word, you are just red-eyed." If you are really for the court, how can you ask for an official? ”

"Presumptuous!" The young man beside Ma Teng suddenly roared, his voice was like a tiger roaring, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't help but be startled and turned their heads to look.

The young man's eyes widened with rage, and he gritted his teeth and clenched the spear in his hand, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Only then did Li Wei notice that the gun in the young man's hand was different from that of ordinary soldiers. This gun was made of fine iron from beginning to end, and it was thicker than ordinary guns, and it looked like it was at least sixty or seventy pounds. But the boy held it firmly with one hand, and there was no feeling of effort.

Guo Yan instinctively sensed a hint of danger, so he said to Li Wei: "Childish, it's useless to talk more, let's go." ”

Li Wei also knew that he might not be able to take advantage of it now, so he turned the horse's head and walked back with Guo Yan.

Ma Teng patted the boy on the shoulder and laughed.

The boy was puzzled and asked, "Why is my father laughing?" ”

"My father just thinks that you alone can suppress a fierce general like Li Dao, if Xiu'er and Tie'er grow up in a few years, who is not afraid of my Xiliang army in this big Han world." After speaking, Ma Teng turned his horse's head and returned to the camp with the young man.

The brief conversation between the two managers was over, and all that was left was a confrontation.

Guo Yan raised the spear in his hand, and Fan Chou behind him began to order the march.

Guo Yan and Fan Chou led two teams of 10,000 cavalry, and rushed towards Ma Teng's army from the left and right flanks at the same time.

Ma Teng looked at the two cavalry, smiled and said, "It's the same Xiliang cavalry, let's see whose subordinates are braver." Lingming! ”

He shouted at the captain beside him, and the captain drove forward: "Pound takes the order." ”

Pang De yelled at the cavalry behind him: "The generals listen to the order, follow me to kill Li Dao!" With that, he rode at the front of the line, and with 10,000 cavalry in a wedge, he rushed towards the enemy opposite.

……

Shen Rong stood on a hill not far away and watched the cavalry of the two sides hedge, and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Yuan and the others were standing behind him, and when they heard Shen Rong sighing, Xu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Shen Shuai, why are you sighing?" ”

Shen Rong pointed his finger underneath and said, "This is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, to help Li Dao defeat this fierce army of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that they will ......" He glanced behind him with his spare eyes, and the ambush on the back of the hill was his five thousand men and the one thousand men lent to him by Xi Yan.

"I'm afraid none of them will come back." Shen Rong said with a smile on his face.

These 6,000 horses were prepared to surprise and win at a critical time, and although the number of war horses was limited, in order to deal with Ma Teng's cavalry, they were also equipped with one for every two of them. But Shen Rong was still worried that the speed of the war horse would inevitably be greatly affected by the two of them, but if it was according to the plan, the speed would be useless at all.

It was a mortal tactic, and these people would all be sacrificed.

He couldn't bear to think about it anymore, so he turned his gaze back to the battlefield ahead. Because the battle there was no less tragic and unusual.

The two sides of Ma Teng's cavalry came into contact with Li Dao's army at the same time, and both sides stabbed their spears at each other as soon as they crossed their horses. With the momentum of running at high speeds, spears can easily pierce people's bodies, and many people's weapons are too deeply embedded in the enemy's body to be undrawn. But for well-trained soldiers, this does not affect at all. They directly chose to give up the long soldiers, pulled out their waist knives and continued to slash.

Although they were also Xiliang soldiers, the soldiers in Li Dao's army soon discovered that the enemy on the opposite side was several times more ferocious than themselves.

Any soldier of the Ma Teng Army, even if he is pierced, as long as he has not lost his breath, will use his last strength to jump off his horse and pounce on the enemy who attacks him.

The last thing they did before the end of their lives was to clung to the enemy and let the cavalry that came after them crush themselves and the enemy.

Outlaws' tactics!

After a round of contact, each soldier of Li Daojun's army saw shock, horror, and fear in each other's eyes. They have always been trained to defend themselves and kill as many enemies as possible. Faced with such a lifeless and lifeless style of play, they didn't know whether they should go up or not. Even Guo Yan and Fan Chou were a little hesitant.

But Pang De did not stop, and led the remaining more than 8,000 cavalry to the left and rushed sideways to the forward cavalry of Li Dao's army again.

In this formation, Li Dao can also feel the fear of his own soldiers in front of him. He said to his nephew Li Li beside him, "Lead the formation for me", and slowly rode forward. And advancing at the same time as him was his relative's troops, the 20,000 Flying Bear Army.

Ma Teng looked at it with his hand, and when he saw that Li Dao was moving, he smiled at the young man next to him: "Li Dao finally can't help it, you can go." ”

When the young man heard that Ma Teng let himself fight, he immediately danced his spear excitedly, and waved at the troops behind him: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world!" Kill! ”

Driven by the young man's high-pitched emotions, all the cavalry behind him roared.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Charge!" The boy shouted, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped. More than 20,000 cavalry then adjusted their formation and set out.

The more than 20,000 cavalry were more ferocious than the ones Pound had brought out before, and each of them was laughing, and some even stuck out their tongues and licked their lips.

There was no fear of an imminent battle to the death, all they had in their hearts was a bloodthirsty desire.

Ma Teng's strongest force that everyone fears, the Qiang Cavalry.

Like a swift tide, the young man and the cavalry actually made a detour to avoid Guo Yan and Fan Chou's troops, and ran straight towards Li Wei's Flying Bear Army.

"Don't you think we're worthy of being rivals?" Fan Chou looked angrily at the army passing by.

Immediately after, he found that Guo Yan was shaking his head at him with a wry smile and pointing to the other side of the troops.

Over there, Pound had already led the more than 8,000 forward cavalry to charge.

"Adjust your position, charge to the enemy on the right!" Fan Chou shouted helplessly, and led the vanguard cavalry to the right with Guo Yan.

At this time, the Qiang cavalry had already collided head-on with the Flying Bear Army.

Warhorses instinctively avoid when they are about to collide with the opposing warhorse, but humans don't. To the surprise of the Flying Bear Army, all the soldiers in the first row of the Qiang Cavalry were squatting on horseback, and at the moment when they were about to make contact with the Flying Bear Army, they all jumped up, poured the momentum of the war horse and their own weight into the spear, and swooped down on the first row of cavalry of the Flying Bear Army with a hideous smile.

The first row of soldiers of the Flying Bear Army also raised their long knives on their horses.

The Qiang Cavalry's attack was very ferocious, and while falling into the attack range, he pushed the gun forward again, so that the Flying Bear Army was hit before he could react. But at the same time, they themselves were slashed into their bodies by the broadswords of the Flying Bear Army.

The ultimate in force is to give up all useless skills and tricks, only pursue speed and strength, and use the smallest movements to burst out the maximum power in the shortest time.

They fought for their lives, but there was no trace of fear in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, only the excitement and the thrill of the blood when they encountered a fierce enemy.

In the middle of the bloody Shura field, the young man is fighting against Li Dao.

He used the heavy spear like a poisonous snake, and the cold light danced wildly, and the spear was like a letter. Li Wei couldn't help but admire, he had tried several times to dispel the young man's spear, but before he could meet it, the spear disappeared like a swimming dragon, and then attacked him again in another direction.

Li Dao's gun is also special, and it weighs more than 60 catties, and he used to be one of the best in Dong Zhuojun in terms of martial arts and strength, but he had to admit that this young man's gun was much faster than him.

After dodging the boy's attack again, Li Wei took the horse away from him. Around the two of them, countless Qiang cavalry and flying bear armies surrounded them and fought wildly.

With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, Li Wei smiled at the young man and said, "The little general is a young hero, with extraordinary marksmanship, and he doesn't know his name?" ”

Although the young man's blood and qi were surging due to the war, he was not tired at all, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he looked at Li Dao and replied: "Li Dao, remember, I am the eldest son of Ma Teng of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi!" After speaking, he rushed towards Li Dao again.

Li Li couldn't bear it any longer, and with an order, all the remaining soldiers and horses were dispatched and went straight to Ma Teng's main formation from the left side.

And at this moment, not far behind Ma Teng's main formation, which only had a few thousand people, smoke and dust flew up, horses' hooves rumbled, and a cavalry army of tens of thousands of people rushed to the battlefield.

One of the generals at the head shouted loudly: "Shoucheng don't worry, Han Sui came to help!" ”
