Chapter 1189: Ma Chao's Remorse
At the same time, Ma Chao's heart was full of mixed feelings, remorse, and guilt, but more of it was a gushing murderous intent.
"Wen Bufan!! You damn it!! ”
Ma Chao gritted his teeth, looking like he was crazy, and the brocade silver lion tooth spear in his hand suddenly burst out, like a lightning and wind, and he just opened a bloody road, hoping that Wenhan would kill. When Pang Tong saw the situation, he was overjoyed, and with a move, two swords, shields, and spearmen suddenly came out, encircling Ma Chao. Ma Chao still didn't know that he had been surrounded in the core, running wildly with a horse and a spear, and the brocade and silver lion tooth spear in his hand were constantly flying, like a raging storm and rain, and blood flowers were flying. I saw Ma Chao suddenly rushing forward in a bloody light, and a snake-tailed white lion seemed to emerge from his body, which was extremely fierce. Wen Han saw Ma Chao rushing to kill in the siege, and he was not afraid, but sighed.
Such a beauty, why fight for life and death, can't be used for it?
Ma Chao hated Wen Han to the core, and he couldn't wait to eat Wen Han's flesh and blood. The two are like fire and water, and it is impossible for Ma Chao to surrender to Wen Han's command. It is impossible for Wen Han to connive at Ma Chao's recklessness in his own territory!
Pang Tong saw it clearly, so he taught the crossbowmen to attack with arrows. Ma Chao rushed violently, and Tang soldiers kept coming from all directions, and now the cold arrows suddenly burst out, where could Ma Chao make a move. In the chaos, Xu Xuan was on Ma Chao's armor, blood suddenly appeared, and several arrows hit his right shoulder, abdomen, and thigh.
"Treacherous villain!! Even if I turn into a ghost, I will seek revenge on you!! ”
Ma Chao screamed in pain, his lion's eyes were red, and the severe pain had made Ma Chao regain his senses. Ma Chao knew that he had fallen for Wen Han's radical generals, and now that the siege was heavy, and there were crossbowmen secretly releasing cold arrows, if he fought to the death, he was afraid that he would die in the chaos before he arrived at Wen Han's side. Ma Chao's revenge has not been avenged, and his ambition has not been realized, how can he be willing to give his life?
Suddenly, Ma Chao's momentum burst out, and the snake-tailed white lion on his body was mighty, and he roared, like a wild lion roaring, and the momentum was so fierce that the Tang soldiers were so shocked that they couldn't help but retreat. Ma Chao pulled out the horse and turned around, and immediately looked behind him and rushed away. At this time, Mrs. Zhu Rong saw that Ma Chao rashly entered the hinterland of the enemy, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to rush to the rescue. At the moment of life and death, all the barbarian generals bravely attacked and saved Ma Chao in the chaos. Ma Chao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led his troops to flee to the northwest. Wen Han saw Ma Chao escape, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to chase and cover up. There are several fierce and brutal generals, in order to delay time, leading troops to fight to the death. By dawn, the thousands of barbarians had all been killed. Wen Han rushed over, saw that these barbarians were so loyal, sighed, and then collected the army for rectification.
In last night's battle, ** won a complete victory, and most of the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost. Wen Han thought that Ma Chao was already at the end of the crossbow, and he was not in a hurry, so he ordered the army to rest first.
However, he said that the horse was too large to fold the soldiers and horses, but fortunately, Kuai Liang saw that the situation was not good, so he withdrew some baggage first. Even so, the barbarian army's grain, grass, and equipment were also folded by seven or eight. Ma Chao was bent on conquering Liangzhou and raised 100,000 troops, how arrogant he was, but how could he have ended up in such a desperate situation today. Ma Chao was disheartened, although he dialed the arrow, the arrow wound on his body was still in severe pain. Ma Chao knew that the general trend had gone, and he had no intention of fighting with **, so he led a group of remnants of the defeated generals, looked at the southwest path, bypassed Tianshui, rushed back to Shicheng, and integrated the rest to withdraw to Nanban.
However, Ma Chao's idea was expected by Li You for a long time. It turned out that Li You learned from the barbarian prisoners that Ma Chao attacked Nan'an. Later, I heard that Zhao Yun had said that Wen Han had led his troops to Longxi. Li You then divided his troops into two parts, ordered Zhao Yun to lead one to Nan'an to intercept it, and ordered Wang Shuang to lead the army to the southwest road to ambush.
said that Ma Chao was leading the troops to the right place, and suddenly a cannon rang out, and a group of men and horses blocked the way. The leader is Wang Shuang. When Ma Chao saw it, he was immediately frightened, and he was afraid that there would be ambushes behind him, so he hurriedly led the troops to rush and kill. Wang Shuangzong rode and danced with knives to meet each other, Ma Chao fought desperately, and the brocade silver lion tooth spear was full of fierce moves. Although Ma Chao was injured, Wang Shuang was not yet his opponent, and the two killed dozens of rounds, and Wang Shuang was defeated and retreated. The two armies fought fiercely, and they had the upper hand, but they were defeated because of Wang Shuang. The morale of the barbarians increased dramatically, and Ma Chao took advantage of the situation to break through the encirclement and lead the troops out.
Rao is like this, after all, the Tang soldiers are many and powerful, and they are full of energy. And the barbarians are running around day after day, and they are all tired and tired. Wang Shuang immediately led troops to cover up and kill from behind. Ma Chao knew that he couldn't fight for a long time, so he only cared about fleeing, and he folded thousands of soldiers and horses, lest he have a long night and dreams, and he rushed to Shicheng in the starry night.
Wang Shuang saw that Ma Chao had escaped, and hurriedly sent someone to send a message back to Li You. However, he said that Wen Han had finished reorganizing his troops and was leading the army to go, but he suddenly heard a report from the scouts, and a large number of soldiers and horses were coming in front. Wen Han was overjoyed when he heard this, so he led the army to respond, and the two armies would be united. Wen Han heard that Li Youlian had a clever plan to break the barbarian army, and he was amazed. Even Pang Tong, who was beside Wen Han, had a bit of a different color in his eyes. It can be known that Ma Chao led an army of nearly 60,000 or 70,000 to attack Tianshui, and Tianshui's troops were empty, with less than 6,000 soldiers and horses. Immediately, Xiliang is bound to fall into an endless war. Pang Tong thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh to Wen Han.
"Gong Li is full of talents, and he is really not as good as him."
When Wen Han heard this, he smiled indifferently and beckoned.
"Shi Yuan is a talent of a hundred miles, how can he be arrogant? If it weren't for your advice from the left and right, how could our army pacify the barbarians so quickly. Now Ma Chao's troops have lost seven or eight, and he should pursue the attack quickly to prevent future troubles! ”
As soon as Wen Han's words fell, another army and horses arrived, but it was the baggage team led by Li You. Wen Han quickly summoned Li You to come. After a while, Li You arrived, Wen Han was very happy, praised Li You, and naturally gave a heavy reward. Li You thanked him, and suddenly there was a quick ride to report, saying that Ma Chao was walking on the southwest road, Wang Shuang couldn't resist it, and Ma Chao escaped. When Wen Han heard this, his eyes froze. Li You then told him about the division of troops earlier. When Pang Tong heard this, there was a little respect in his eyes, and he praised him.
"Li Gong is like a god, and he admires it deeply!"
When Li You heard this, he turned his eyes and saw that the speaker was extremely ugly, but his eyes were bright and bright, hiding wisdom. Li You quickly guessed that this person must be the 'Phoenix Chick' Pang Tong, and smiled indifferently.
"Shiyuan has outstanding wisdom, has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and has the plan to get out of the ghosts and gods, and is the genius of the world. Even Zhuge Kongming has been repeatedly defeated by you. Youruo compared to Shiyuan. Excellent is like the light of fireflies, and Shiyuan is the light of the bright moon! ”
Pang Tong was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly praised it. At the same time, Pang Tong was a little happy with Li You. Pang Tong had an ugly face, poor appearance, and had suffered from the white eyes of others. Li Youneng appreciated it so sincerely, and Pang Tong was naturally grateful. Subsequently, a group of people discussed and decided, and it was expected that Ma Chao would rush to Shicheng, rectify the remainder, and withdraw to Nanban. In order to cut off future troubles, Wen Han ordered the three armies to pursue Chi Li, and even awarded whoever can capture and kill Ma Chao can be named the 'King of Xiliang'! All the generals were ordered, and each wanted to fight for merit, and they all urged the army to go.
In other words, Ma Chao couldn't care about being tired and tired, and finally rushed back to Shicheng in the future. When Ma Chao entered the city, his tense spirit was relaxed, he was exhausted, his injuries recurred, and he fainted. Mrs. Zhurong was shocked and urgently instructed the sergeant to summon a doctor in the city for treatment. When he was young, the doctor arrived, and after applying Jinchuang medicine to Ma Chao, he warned everyone.
"General Ma must rest for a month before he can recover. If the anger is excited, the sores will recur and will be critical. ”
When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, she was sure in her heart, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to take ten taels of gold as a reward. At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly asked the doctor.
"Now our army is in danger, if there is a delay, ** killed, we will be wiped out. General Ma is the commander of the three armies, if he is injured and cannot do so, what if so? ”
When the doctor heard this, he groaned for a while and sighed.
"If it is a last resort, he must also rest for ten days. Wait for the wound to heal before marching. However, in this way, I am afraid that General Ma will have hidden diseases in his body in the future. How to choose, but it is up to the public to decide. ”
The doctor said that, took the honorarium, and left in a hurry with the boy who accompanied him. Mrs. Zhurong hurriedly consulted with Kuai Liang.
"The king's injuries are severe, and he must not be moved. According to Kuaigong's opinion, what should be done? ”
When Kuai Liang heard this, his burning eyes narrowed, and he secretly slandered in his heart.
"Before I came here, the military advisor taught me to delay for three months, and now it's been two months. At the moment, it will take at least ten days. Although his army was powerful, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses available in the city at this time. When this was the case, I did my best to fulfill my mission. ”
Kuai Liang thought about it, his spirit was shocked, and he said in a condensed voice.
"A general is a body of gold, and there must be no loss. In my opinion, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the heavy food is enough for three months. **Although it is powerful, but running long distances will definitely damage its strength. We can first defend the city with deep ditches and earth barriers, and wait for the general's injuries to heal, and then abandon the city and flee and withdraw to the southern barbarians. ”
Mrs. Zhurong loves her husband very much, and when she heard Kuai Liang say this, she naturally agreed. So Mrs. Zhurong and Kuai Liang temporarily took care of military affairs, and ordered the armies to dig deep ditches outside the city and build earthen ramparts to prepare for war. Ten days later, Ma Chao woke up leisurely and urgently summoned Mrs. Zhurong and Kuai Liang to see her. Suddenly, the two arrived together. Ma Chao's pale and colorless face swelled up with a little urgency, and he hurriedly asked.
"How long have I been asleep!?"
"There are eight days to return to the general."
Kuai Liang bowed his hand and replied in a deep voice. When Ma Chao heard this, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.
"Wen Bufan's army will be killed at any time, how can it be delayed for so long!?"
Ma Chao was so angry that his injuries almost recurred, and he coughed repeatedly. Seeing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly persuaded.
"The general doesn't have to worry about it. The previous doctor had warned the general that he would have to rest for a month before he could leave. We have already taken sufficient precautions outside the city, if Wen Bufan really kills him, he will travel long distances, and his soldiers will be tired. Our army is based on the city, and at least it can be entangled with him for several months. When the general's injuries healed, the other army could not attack for a long time. If the general breaks through again, he has no worries. ”
Ma Chao heard that Kuai Liang had already made arrangements, and most of the anxiety in his heart disappeared, and he sighed loudly, so he taught Kuai Liang to go first. Kuai Liang took the order and came out. After a while, only Ma Chao and Mrs. Zhurong were left in the room. Ma Chao suddenly grabbed Mrs. Zhurong's hand and said with a sigh on his face.
"It's hurt you this time."
Ma Chao rarely has such tenderness, or sees the truth in adversity, I don't know when this strong and charming woman has existed in Ma Chao's heart. When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, her face showed a little crimson, she was very good-looking, her coquettish eyes were shining with water, and she whispered.
"As long as I follow you, even if there is a sea of swords and fires, I will not be bitter."
The love story is true and unfalse. Ma Chao's heart moved, and he hugged Mrs. Zhurong in his arms. Mrs. Zhurong snuggled up to Ma Chao's chest, and the whole person seemed to melt.
"If you can escape back to the barbarian realm this time, you will have a few babies with me, and then the emperor's hegemony will be stopped. It is also good for you and me to only care about guarding the frontier and living in peace in the barbarian country. ”
