After the war, the spoils of war were counted, Pang De had the merit of breaking the city, Zhang Liao had the merit of ascending first, and Sima Cuo had the merit of capturing the county order, all of which were recorded.

Because Ma Chao suddenly started an incident in the city of Mayi, and the main troops were still in the barracks outside the city, only more than 500 soldiers were captured.

In the county office, Ma Chao sat at the top, and the military attachés were lined up on the left and right.

On the left are Zhang Liao and the chief of the guard, and on the right are Sima Cuo and Pang De.

Ma Chao shouted: "Bring the county order up!" ”

"Whoa."

The soldier carried the ragged county magistrate to the court, and the wooden stick broke his legs, and the magistrate screamed and fell to his knees.

Ma Chao smiled: "Mayi County Order, are you guilty?" ”

The county magistrate looked up and found that the captive was actually an 8-year-old child?

Furious and ashamed, the county commander scolded: "Who are you? Dare to attack the imperial court officials? Don't want to live anymore? ”

"Yohe~"

Ma Chao was so angry that he picked up a few bamboo slips on the table and smashed them directly on the head of the county magistrate.

"See for yourself, what is written on it?!"

Although the county order's legs were discounted, his hands could still be used, and he was busy picking up the bamboo slips on the ground and opening them to take a look.

Wow, good guys!

It turned out to be evidence that he deducted food and salary and embezzled military money on weekdays, all of which were recorded by the county.

Seeing that the county commander's forehead was full of cold sweat, Ma Chao sneered: "The county magistrate has confessed everything, what else do you have to say?" ”

"I, I..."

Bang, the bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground, and the county magistrate was depressed, and he had nothing to say, so he had to appoint.

Ma Chao continued: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, although your family is corrupt and perverts the law, the evidence is conclusive, and it should be beheaded." But I can't do it, the court ordered officials to break the law, so naturally they have to report to the court, and the prison will arrest and ask for the crime. ”

"Take it down and put it in jail!"

Subsequently, a notice was posted to let the people of the city know that the county order had been subdued.

The people celebrated, they had been exploited by the county order for many years, and they finally came out, and they were all grateful to Ma Chao.

At the same time, the military camp outside the city of Mayi.

"Report!"

The scout came to report that a general in the uniform of the army of Rong Ma was shocked and furious when he heard him tell about the events in the city of Mayi.

The general stood up at once, his fists clenched, and the green tendons burst out, highlighting the anger in the general's heart.

His henchmen said: "Lord Saiwei, we are on the orders of the county commander to guard the border here, but we don't know that there are great changes in the city, it is not as good as us..."

Saiwei's eyes narrowed, and he kept calculating the gains and losses in his heart.

Now, he has a total of 5,000 soldiers in his hands, according to common sense, a lieutenant cannot have so many troops, but this is a border pass, and the military power of the border generals is not small.

I think that at the beginning, the Western Regions of the Western Han Dynasty, Chen Tang, a deputy lieutenant, was able to raise troops to attack and kill the Xiongnu Zhizhi Danyu, which shows that the authority of the border generals is much greater than the official position.

After much deliberation on the gains and losses, the captain finally decided to try to attack the city of Mayi, and if he failed, he would retreat to the barracks and make another calculation.

"Pass on my military order, 5,000 troops immediately make a fire to make food, set off an hour later, the goal, attack the thieves in the city of Mayi, and rescue the people in the city."

"Whoa!"

Ma Chao counted the number of soldiers in the city, plus the guards and prisoners at the city gate, a total of more than 700 people, how could they be the opponents of the military camp outside the city?

He paced in place, trying to come up with a solution, but he couldn't think of anything, and his mind went blank.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao said: "The young master, the highest military commander of the military camp outside the city, is a lieutenant, although he is a border general canonized by the imperial court, he is controlled by the Mayi County Order. There is a military camp, but the Hu people and thieves can keep attacking Mayi City..."

Grasping the key point in Zhang Liao's words, Ma Chao immediately said: "What do you mean, this Saiwei has dealings with Hu Ren?" Deliberately allowing the Hu people to invade? ”

"Quite possibly."

"Okay, that's it!"

Ma Chao is overjoyed, there is such a connection, no matter whether the matter is true or not, he can be morally invincible.

If the thing is true, then the Saiwei is collaborating with the enemy, and the crime of colluding with the county order is added to the crime, and the crime is increased by one degree, and it should be executed!

The matter is false, and the captain cannot escape the responsibility of a poor defense, and he can also be questioned.

And if you want to defeat the Saiwei with 5,000 troops, the breakthrough is still on the people of Mayi.

"Report!"

The scout sent out to the sentry barracks reported: "Report to the young master, there is an abnormality in the military camp outside the city, and the soldiers are making fires and cooking!" ”

Sima Cuo immediately said: "Young master, it seems that the captain is still thinking about coming to attack us, the enemy army is strong, we must not sit idly by!" ”

Zhang Liao echoed: "That's right, what's more, this captain has average force and command, Zhang Liao is willing to lead an army to eliminate him!" ”

"Huh?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he pondered for a long time: "Now we have more than 700 soldiers, but 500 of them are demoralized, and the morale is worrying, how many people do you want to bring to the battle?" ”

His words were to test Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was arrogant, and laughed: "Liao doesn't need more, just the young master will hand over all the 31 Bingzhou cavalry under your command to me!" ”

What the?

With only 31 cavalry and states?

These are just Dong Zhuo's cavalry, not the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry trained by Lu Bu, which is embarrassing.

Thinking about the battle of Baimenlou, after Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, he wanted to use his talent in training cavalry to beg Cao Cao for mercy.

Confident that Cao Cao used infantry and Lu Bu used cavalry, he would be invincible in the world.

It can be seen that although Lu Bu is not a good person, his ability to train cavalry is the first in the world.

Having said that, Zhang Liao has also seen the combat effectiveness of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and he dares to say so, he should be sure enough.

The source of Zhang Liao's confidence should be that he knows the level of that lieutenant.

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

Ma Chao immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, I admire heroes the most in my life, Zhang Wenyuan is so heroic, he should be a big white!" ”

"Bring the wine!"

The servant brought up a few wine cups, Ma Chao thought that the wine cups were too small, and they were not happy to drink, so he ordered someone to replace them with large wine bowls.

Now Ma Chao is only 8 years old, he holds a big bowl of rice wine in both hands, drinks it with his head up, and after drinking, he smashes the wine bowl to the ground.

"Good! The young master is arrogant! ”

Zhang Liao took the wine bowl, killed it in one bite, smashed the wine bowl, and arched his hand: "Zhang Liao is going now!" ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and saluted back: "Wait for the good news!" ”

After he left, Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Sima Cuo, Pang De, and the chief of the guard, order the three of you to immediately go to the city to spread the news, just say that the soldiers outside the city have rebelled, and they will let the Hu people in and loot the city of Mayi together!" ”

"Whoa!"

Just as the three of them were about to leave, Ma Chao thought for a while and stopped them: "When spreading the news, remember to say one sentence: When the city is broken, the men will be killed for rations, and the women will be sold as slaves!" ”

Sima Cuo, Pang De and the other three people glanced at each other, and they all read some signs from each other's eyes, and then took the order and left.

It didn't take long for rumors to spread throughout the entire Mayi City, spreading ten, ten, and hundreds, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.

The rumor spread to the back, and it has become that Saiwei is the son of the leader of the Hu people, and he has been lurking at the border of Mayi City for many years, just so that he can lead the army to break through the city today.

Moreover, there is an even more extreme rumor, the city of Mayi is broken, and the captain will slaughter the city!

When poor Captain Sai had just marched with 5,000 soldiers, his reputation had become infamous, and he himself did not know what awaited him behind him.

Outside the city, a gust of wind suddenly blew, the wind was howling, flying sand and stones, Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou cavalry were hidden in the sandstorm, flickering and flickering, like ghosts, and it was terrifying.

The 5,000 troops, 3,000 of whom were infantry, were divided into the front army.

When the infantry phalanx of the front army had just reached a relatively narrow terrain, a bang sounded, and Zhang Liao suddenly led the cavalry to kill.

"Kill!"

The Bingzhou cavalry belonged to the shock cavalry, all armed with spears, and in one charge, they routed the infantry phalanx.

Seeing that the front army was scattered by the cavalry, the lieutenant who was in the middle of the army immediately gave the order: "Steady, steady!" There are only a few dozen cavalry on the other side! ”

Zhang Liao succeeded in one blow, killed more than 80 infantrymen, and immediately disappeared into the sandstorm.

After finishing the repair, he continued to march, and before he had walked a few steps, Zhang Liao rushed over with his cavalry, and was killed more than 60 infantrymen.

"Bastard!"

Before his words fell, Zhang Liao came to kill for the third time, and Saiwei knew that if he continued like this, his morale would be gone, so what would he do to attack the city when the time came?

So, he roared: "Don't run, fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

In the midst of the raging storm and sand, Zhang Liao held a crescent halberd, rode out of the halberd, and sneered: "A mere captain dares to learn from the general to fight?" ”

Saiwei was furious: "Don't talk nonsense, do you dare or don't dare?!" ”

"That's nature, Na~ fate!"

Zhang Liao held the halberd on his horse and flew over, and the crescent halberd flashed with a bloodthirsty luster.

Due to the obstacle of the sandstorm, the yellow sand obscured his eyes, and the captain did not notice for a while, and actually miscalculated the distance between the two sides.

"Hah!"

The crescent halberd turned into a dragon shape and slashed in front of Captain Sai!

Captain Sai only felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, the armor on his chest was shattered, and in a deep wound that could be seen to the bone, a large amount of blood shot out without money!

"Uhh——!h

The pain was unbearable, and Saiwei's entire body, carried by the recoil of Zhang Liao's assassination, fell behind him and fell to the ground.

He fell in the yellow sand, trying to get up, but his injuries were too bad, and his eyes gradually closed.

Zhang Liao killed the captain in just one round, and the morale of the army fell, and it immediately collapsed!

"Calm down, there are only more than 30 people on the other side!"

After the death of Saiwei, the commander of the army, who was second only to him, immediately gained military power, and he shouted desperately to hold back the demoralized army.

"What are you running? Lord Saiwei is dead, at this time, we should continue to march towards Mayi City with the same hatred, and avenge your hatred! ”

Hou Chang threatened: "Don't forget what we usually do, once the incident happens, how can the people in Mayi City let us go?!" ”

"I'm waiting to go!"

The army continued to advance towards the army, and Zhang Liao continued to lead the cavalry, raiding and wandering along the periphery of the army.
