The next day, early in the morning, Ma Chaojun buried the pot and cooked rice with the help of the people.

Jia Xu took people to count the granaries in the city where grain was hoarded, and sure enough, there were 100,000 stone of military rations.

Ma Chao, who was still eating breakfast, was so shocked that he squirted out a mouthful of rice: "There are so many!" ”

Wiping the rice grains off his face, Jia Xu said calmly: "If what I expected is correct, the fall of Wuyuan County is a heavy blow to Qianghu. ”

Ma Chao nodded: "Well, that's good, but Qiang Hu won't let us go." ”

"That's true, for now, let's defend the city first."

Since the morning, 7,000 Qianghu have been attacking the city continuously, but these nomads can fight in the field, and the siege war is a real dish, and they can't get up to the city wall anyway, leaving corpses in a place.

Near noon, the guards of the city wall reported: "A cavalry team has been found outside the city, under the banner of Su and Sima. ”

"They're back!"

Ma Chao and others climbed the city wall, and sure enough, they found Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo's cavalry, they had already joined forces and were being pursued by Qiang Hu.

Zhang Liao was eager, and wanted to fight, but he was afraid that as soon as he opened the city gate, he would be attacked by Qiang Hu, so he could only ask: "What should we do?" ”

"Wen Yuan, the two of them have 3,000 cavalry, and the Qianghu cavalry chasing them is only 5,000 people, so don't worry."

looked at Ma Chao in the military camp outside the city, and sneered: "These Qiang Hu, it's really not easy to use their brains, they have divided 5,000 cavalry out, and there are more than 2,000 horse infantry soldiers left in the barracks?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Qiang Hu definitely thought that we in the city only had 1,000 cavalry, and even if they wanted to break their heads, they would never have imagined that we still had 5,000 volunteers!" ”

"Hahahaha! Zhang Liao! ”

"The last general!"

"The time has come, order you to quickly lead 1,000 cavalry out of the city and attack the enemy camp!"

"Yes!"

The big war is about to break out.

While Zhang Liao led his army back and forth to attack the enemy, 5,000 volunteers were rapidly approaching the military camp with full of anger against Qianghu.

When the sharp-eyed Qiang soldiers saw the 5,000 volunteers, they hurriedly grabbed the Qianghu generals and said eagerly: "General, look over there!" ”

Following the voice, the general saw the 5,000 volunteers approaching them, and screamed: "Where did so many people come from!" ”

"Those people... It looks like the Han people in the city? ”

When the general heard this, his heart settled down a little: "Oh? It's the Han people... Then there's nothing to be afraid of, just a bunch of farming slaves! ”

Ma Chao led 5,000 volunteers to arrive outside the barracks, he pulled out his short knife and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time for revenge has come!" ”

"We have revenge, we have revenge, we have revenge!"

The crowd was indignant: "Kill! ”

"Kill these Qiang mincuses!"

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant.

Qianghu's enslavement of Jiuyuan County for many years has deeply buried the consequences of today's evil.

The volunteers composed of 5,000 young and strong people rushed to kill with a stream of blood in their bodies, and the blood was on the head, and as soon as they fought, they easily tore through the defense line of Qianghu!

The fire burned and the barracks were filled with smoke and fire.

The fire burned, and the Qianghu military camp was in chaos!

Zhang Liao saw it clearly, and immediately led the army into the barracks and went straight to the Chinese army camp!

"Oh no, run!"

The Qianghu general was taken aback, and when he was about to get on his horse and run away, a hoe flew from behind and hit him directly in the back of the head.

"Ugh!"

The head blossomed, and the Qianghu general fell straight to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.

The young man who exploded the enemy's head with a hoe was ecstatic, cut off the head of the Qianghu general, and immediately rushed out, shouting: "I killed the miscellaneous general!" I've killed the miscellaneous generals! ”

As soon as the general died, the remaining Qianghu immediately lost their ability to fight back, their morale plummeted, and they fled from the camp.

Outside the barracks, Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo, who were still dealing with 5,000 Qianghu cavalry, found smoke billowing in the distance, and immediately turned their horses' heads and attacked Qianghu.

"Why did they suddenly dare to fight us?"

Some Qiang people were puzzled, and the cavalry general frowned, and immediately looked back in the direction of the military camp, only to see that the smoke had risen into the clouds!

"Not good!"

"We have been tricked again, the Han army has broken through our army's camp!"

"Ah???h

The cavalry team was in turmoil, the army was unstable, and Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo led the army back and forth to kill, and the blood flowed like a river, and Qianghu was defeated and retreated.

In this battle, Ma Chaojun killed a total of 2,000 people before and after, leaving only 3,000 cavalry, temporarily recruited 5,000 volunteers, and killed more than 7,000 enemies.

Immediately afterwards, with Jiuyuan County as the base, troops were quickly dispatched to conquer the surrounding eight county towns of Heyin, Linwo, Wuyuan, Yiliang, Chengyi, Xi'anyang, Wudu, and Manbai.

The news of the loss of Jiuyuan County soon spread, and the Qianghu defenders of the eight county towns were defeated in one blow, and soon, Ma Chao's army completely captured Wuyuan County.

Since then, he has successively conquered Dingxiang County and Wuyuan County, and has fulfilled the promise that Ma Chao made in the Assassin's Mansion.

In the county office, Ma Chao's reward was completed, and he asked everyone present: "Next, what should we do?" ”

Jia Xujin said: "First of all, our army needs a period of rest and recuperation, and we must continue to recruit young people to garrison 9 county seats. ”

"Secondly, the Qianghu army in Xihe County will definitely divide an army to attack our army, and they must recapture Jiuyuan County, a fierce battle is inevitable."

"In the end, after we successfully hold Jiuyuan County, we must continue to march westward, cross the territory of Xianbei in Hexi, pass through Liangzhou, and after obtaining a group of Liangzhou troops, attack Qianghu."

Ma Chao nodded: "Yes, our original plan is like this, although Hexi Xianbei is stronger than Qianghu, but it is also limited, our army has won consecutive battles, morale is high, and we are not afraid of Xianbei people." ”

He continued: "My Ma family has a volunteer army in Longxi, Liangzhou, although my father Ma Teng has taken most of them away, but there are still many people left to guard the house, and I want to rush back to take these people. ”

"Moreover, to recruit young people to join the army in Liangzhou, I plan to recruit a group of at least 5,000 troops in Liangzhou."

Sima mistakenly heard this, thought for a while, and said: "All the volunteers will be handed over to the subordinates, and it is guaranteed that the volunteers can be trained into recruits in a short time." ”

"Good!"

There is Sima Coo's training soldiers, Ma Chao is 10,000 reassuring, open Sima Coo's personal information and take a look, sure enough!

Title: Captain (inactive)

Loyalty: 60

Force: 60

Commander-in-Chief: 55

Strategy: 57

Interior: 36

Talent: Qin Ruishi (Epiphany 20%)

Equipment: Qin Bronze Sword

Great Qin Ruishi's Epiphany progress has increased from 10% to 20%, and the commander value has also increased to 55 points.

It seems that the battle during this period of time has made Sima Cuo grow a lot.

It's loyalty is still a big problem, as Ma Chao's first historical famous general who consumes his lifespan, Ma Chao doesn't want Sima Chao's loyalty to be too low.

A few days later, the scout came to report: "Report! A large Qianghu army suddenly appeared in the south! There are about 20,000 people! ”

"Good fellow, it's finally here!"

There was actually an army of 20,000 people, and Ma Chao took the case: "The generals will listen to the order, deploy according to the previous plan, wait for work, and meet the enemy army!" ”

"Whoa!"

Climb the city wall, overlook the Qianghu army in the distance, and a banner embroidered with grassland carvings flutters in the wind.

Under the banner of the eagle, a big man rode on the war horse, majestic, and all the Qiang people bowed their heads.

The scout informed: "The leader of this Qianghu army is called Zero Chao. ”

"Zero mix? The descendants of Emperor Xian Lingqiang, Eagle Dian Zero? The current Xiqiang patriarch? ”

According to the "History of the Wuhu War": "The Xiqiang tribe, the Xiqiang legend has Lingchang, the son of the carving Yunnan zero, and the surname is covered with the father's name." ”

The Qiang people used the name of the animal or father as a name, representing the characteristics of totemic worship and patrilineal clans.

And adding a carved word before the name indicates that the grassland eagle is used as a totem.

Zero Mix also has a relative named Diao and Leng, who was the leader of the Xiqiang Rebellion in 140 and was later surrendered.

Ma Chao sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect it, it was actually the Lingqiang tribe that attacked first, it seems that this time it was really a vicious battle." ”

When Su Dingfang, Zhang Liao, and Sima heard the wrong words, they all said: "Only die to fight!" ”
