Chapter 1168: Fire Trapping the Barbarian Army (I)

At the moment, Ma Chao led an army of 50,000 or 60,000 to surround Tianshui, how could Huang An let go of such a great opportunity. However, Li You was afraid that the clans in the city would rebel, so he sent soldiers to guard outside the mansions of the various clans as a precaution. Huang An has always been cautious, and first gathered in the old department that night to discuss privately. Everyone should not be ado, lest the night be long and dreamy, so they should act quickly. So Huang An decided to wait for the third watch tomorrow night, kill out of the house, set fire to the city, and take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate to welcome Ma Chao's soldiers and horses. And when they had decided, they dispersed and made preparations. In Huang An's old department, there was a person named Chen Kai. This person is a detailed work arranged by Li You. Since Xiliang fell into the hands of Wen Han, Wen Han did not guard against the remnants of the Ma clan to make trouble, and secretly sent Li You and Zhong Xuan to investigate. Huang An's identity, Li You knows it clearly. However, at that time, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Li You was afraid of being ruthless, forcing the rest of the remnants of the Ma clan to join forces to rebel. Therefore, they only sent people to spy on them. Huang An never expected that among the subordinates he believed in, there were people who had already become the meticulous work of the Western Tang Dynasty. Chen Kai learned of Huang An's plan and came to report to Li You. When Li You heard this, his eyes glowed with a cold light, and he couldn't stop sneering, so he taught Chen Kai to do so. Chen Kai received the order, was rewarded with a lot of money, and left happily.

The next night, Huang An was about to have a seizure, and suddenly there was a fire in the house. The thieves in the mansion were shocked, and suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed into the mansion of the Yellow Mansion. Huang An suddenly changed color when he saw it, looked back at the people behind him, and shouted.

"Who is it!! Who took refuge in the Tang thief!!? ”

Before Huang An finished speaking, Chen Kai suddenly had a seizure, took out a dagger from his arms, held Huang An's body with one hand, and grabbed the dagger with the other hand to look at Huang An's stomach and stabbed him wildly. Blood flew violently, Huang An's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, shocked and angry. It can be seen that Chen Kai is regarded by him as a brother of his left and right hands, and the two are like brothers. Huang An never expected that Chen Kai would betray him and kill him!!

Huang An grabbed Chen Kai's shoulders tightly with both hands, his mouth was full of blood, and he muttered, but he couldn't say a word, but the desolate look in his eyes said everything. Chen Kai's face was cold, as if what died in front of him was just an insignificant ant. Chen Kai pushed with both hands, and Huang An's body fell to the ground. Only then did everyone react, and they were all hideous and furious, and they rushed towards Chen Kai, and at the same time they scolded angrily.

Chen Kai was sensitive, his footsteps flashed, and he retreated again and again. Seeing this, Li Feng led his troops to kill. The Tang soldiers who rushed from all sides were like tigers, wolves, and beasts, killing Huang An's remnants without the power to fight back. The screams were endless, and the hall of the Yellow Mansion became a purgatory on earth. Hundreds of sins have not survived. Since then, this Huang Mansion has been transformed into Chen Mansion. Chen Kai got what he wanted, took Huang An's concubine as his wife, and took away the wealth of his house. Of course, that's all for later.

The world is declining, and people are cold. There are martyrs who are loyal to the Lord, and there are traitors who betray the Lord. Chen Kai is smart, he chose the right master, so he got a wealth and the woman he wanted. Li You did not truthfully announce Huang An's death, but only said that Huangfu unfortunately caught fire and Huang An died in the fire. At this time, Tianshui City is in danger, and Huang An's death is naturally not so simple. There are many old and spicy people in the city, and they can see that they are probably Li You's poisonous hands. But no one expected that Chen Kai would betray Huang An. Now that the deadline agreed by Ma Chao has arrived, this day has passed, and tomorrow Ma Chao will attack the city gate.

On that day, Chen Kai took several henchmen and disguised himself as a scout of Tang Bing, but he sneaked out of the city secretly. Within a radius of ten miles outside the city were the men and horses of the barbarian army. Chen Kai was soon captured by the scouts of the barbarian army, and Chen Kai hurriedly told the barbarians that he was the old man of the barbarian king, and this time he sneaked out of the city to report something important. When the barbarians heard this, they didn't dare to make a mistake and hurriedly escorted Chen Kai and others to see Ma Chao. Ma Chao saw that for three days, there was no movement in the city, and he was extremely impatient. At this moment, the scout escorted Chen Kai to see him. Ma Chao had a vague impression of Chen Kai, remembering that he was a subordinate of Huang An, a general under his command. Ma Chao's face was overjoyed, and the sergeant of the speed education untied Chen Kai. Chen Kai knelt on the ground and kowtowed and wept, telling Ma Chao that Huang An wanted to rebel and echo the general. I didn't know that I was careless and leaked the news. Huang An was killed by Li You last night, and he waited for a group of people to pretend to be like-minded in order to save his life. Fortunately, he had acquaintances in the army, and he went out of the city today to inform him of this. At the same time, he also told Ma Chao that Huang An's death made the city angry and resentful, and he had gathered more than 1,000 people in the city, and agreed to raise a group of people tonight on the third watch, set fire to the city, and take advantage of the chaos to take down the city gate as an internal response!

When Ma Chao heard this, the lion's eyes opened, and he immediately showed a look of ecstasy, but he pressed it to death, pretending to be sad and saying to Chen Kai.

"Huang Gong treats me like a son and is loyal, and this time I was killed by thieves, which really hurts me!! This revenge is not shared, I will definitely revenge it!! You go back carefully, tonight's third watch, I prepare soldiers and horses, but when I see the fire in the city, I immediately lead troops to kill!! If you can capture that Li Zhongwen, you will cut off his head to sacrifice Huang Gong's spirit in the sky!! ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth when he spoke, as if he was in pain of losing his father. Chen Kai also cried in the play, and both of them did a very real job. Ma Chao then appeased Chen Kai, rewarded him with 100 taels of gold, and took another 100 taels of gold, so that Chen Kai could go back to dredge it. Chen Kai knelt down and thanked him, and then went out of the village and returned. As soon as Chen Kai left, Mrs. Zhu Rong, who had been observing her words and expressions, suddenly frowned and said in a cold voice.

"I don't look at this man like a good person! The king must beware, don't fall for the villain's tricks!! ”

Ma Chao heard this, but he didn't like it, and shouted with a straight face.

"Chen Kai was born and died with me, it is my old Ma clan, and now I lead the army to recapture Liangzhou, and I need the help of the old department. If I am on guard everywhere, when will Xiliang be cleared in time!? ”

Mrs. Zhurong was really angry when she saw Ma Chao, and opened her mouth, but she still held back. Don't look at Mrs. Zhurong who is as fierce as a tiger, but she is as well-behaved as a rabbit to Ma Chao. Ma Chao didn't listen to good words, but he believed in the traitorous villain Chen Kai, which really made people sigh that the world was impermanent.

Yeluzong narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be suspicious of Chen Kaisheng, but he didn't dare to say it bluntly, and said with his hand.

"Li Zhongwen has always been deceitful and insidious, and the king must be cautious tonight."

Ma Chao sneered when he heard this, his lion eyes shimmered, raised his big hand, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Humph! Don't worry about it. A certain army is ten times more than the soldiers and horses of the other army, the soldiers and civilians in the city have long been frightened, and Chen Kai and other more than 1,000 people and horses are the internal response, tonight but see the fire, raise troops to kill, Li Zhongwen has the wisdom of the heavens and latitudes, but also difficult to fly!! ”

Ma Chao's resolution has been decided, and the generals will say no more. At the same time, after Chen Kai returned to Tianshui City, he hurriedly reported to Li You, saying that Ma Chao believed it without doubt, and everything was decided! Li You was overjoyed, so he taught Chen Kai to act according to the plan, so he transferred people and horses to prepare.

At the beginning of the day, the moonlight was not on. The cool breeze blows, making people shudder. Tianshui stood like a giant beast between heaven and earth, and the city was terrifyingly quiet, quite eerie and terrifying. Ma Chao ordered all the departments to eat and rest, just wait for the fire to start, rush in, and kill into Tianshui City. The barbarian soldiers of all departments are ready to fight. Gradually, the night became thicker, the moonlight in the sky was faint, and the sky and the earth were dull. Suddenly, just at the time of the third watch, Tianshui City, which was originally silent, shook up an overwhelming shouting of killing, and from time to time, the originally dim night was even more illuminated by the firelight of the sky, shining like day. Ma Chao saw that the fire in the city was surging, and his face was flushed, and his face was overjoyed, and with an order, more than 50,000 barbarians rushed to Tianshui City. Ma Chao took the lead and led a group of soldiers and horses to rush to the west gate. I saw that in the city, the shouts suddenly rose, there was chaos, the torches on the door were burning, and hundreds of strong men were fighting in the city. Ma Chao hurried over and opened the door with a gulp. In the midst of a fierce fight, the city gate suddenly opened, and then there was a loud bang, and the drawbridge was lowered. Ma Chao suddenly became ecstatic, and rushed to be the first to pat the horse, and the brute soldiers behind him rushed forward and rushed in. Ma Chao galloped wildly, and went straight to the state government to kill, only thinking about how to capture Li You and the fierce man Wang Shuang along the way, but he didn't know that there was no one on the road. The fire was blazing all around, and suddenly Ma Chao finally realized it, and suddenly reined in the horses, and saw that there was no one around. Ma Chao's face changed drastically, and he immediately guessed the plan, hurriedly dialed back the horse, and shouted.

"Retired !!"

As soon as Ma Chao's voice sounded, a cannon rang out in the state office, and the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest suddenly did not know how many soldiers and horses came out, and seized the city gate, and even more deflated the flames, and the raging flames burst into the sky. The golden drums sounded in unison, and the shouts were like a river boiling over the sea. Many barbarians who entered the city couldn't be rescued, and seeing that the city gate behind them was on fire, how could they clash with each other!? The barbarians outside the city saw that the fire inside the gate was like a tiger, how dare they throw themselves into the net, and risk their lives to fight in flames. The flames of the four gates were like moats, intercepting the barbarian soldiers inside and outside the city, and they could not echo before and after. At this moment, a piece of soldiers and horses came out of the east lane, and a piece of soldiers and horses came out of the west lane, and they all rushed to attack and cover the kill. The barbarians were panicked and caught off guard, even if they were defeated in an instant. Arrows fell like a tide on the streets, and the barbarians did not know where the ambush was, so they fled indiscriminately, but the Tang soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to kill a person and turn over on his back. In the state and county, the arrows were dense like a raging storm, and Ma Chao drew his gun to block indiscriminately, only to hear someone shouting upstairs.

"Ma Mengqi, you are in the scheme, now the city gates are closed by fire, you are already a turtle in the urn, the tiger of the trap, why not quickly dismount and surrender, I plead with the King of Tang, forgive you for some martial arts, if you want to be sincere, you can also be crowned the king and worship the marquis!!"

The person who shouted was naturally Li You, but Ma Chao didn't believe it. Wen Han hated him to the core, how could he tolerate him. On the contrary, Ma Chao also wanted to eat Wen Han alive, and he would never be sincere. Ma Chao knew that he and the Western Tang Dynasty were like fire and water, so he didn't listen to Li You's nonsense, so he turned the horse and left. The Tang soldiers in the county government swarmed out, and Li Feng led the troops to kill them. Ma Chao turned around and walked through the north gate, and a group of people and horses came out of the road to intercept and fight. At the time of life and death, Ma Chao also forced out the terrifying bravery, and suddenly the horse rushed wildly, and he simply killed through. Turning sharply to the south gate, another Tang soldier stopped him on the road.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth angrily, his face was vicious, he roared, and the horse galloped wildly. The brocade silver lion tooth spear in Ma Chao's hand, like turning into a Taoist silver light, is constantly flying, so fast that it is difficult to catch with the naked eye. Between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao broke through in a gorgeous blood light, Rao was like this, but there were also many wounds all over his body, and the blood stained his robe. Ma Chao burst into two formations in a row, and the battle situation was so fierce and bad that it was impossible to describe it in words for a while. It can only be said that Ma Chao has been through the Longtan tiger's den for a while.
