Chapter 116: Victory in the First Battle (2)
In the past, Ya Dong and others fought with the Han army, and the generals they met were generally Ma Teng or Zhang Ji, and they had never seen Ma Chao, a young general, and they heard Ma Chao speak so disrespectfully, and the two of them were angry, and without saying a word, they picked up their weapons and killed Ma Chao, vowing to take down this young general who did not know the height of the sky within a few rounds.
In the face of the attack of the two of them, a sneer appeared on Ma Chao's face, and then he also slapped his horse and waved his gun to meet the two, while Cao Xing was behind, quietly touching the crossbow machine behind him.
And at this moment, at the head of the city of Beidi County, Zhang Ji looked at the battlefield below from afar, and was quite disdainful in his heart, Cao Xing used a thousand soldiers and horses to provoke others with a full 30,000 soldiers and horses, isn't this a move to find death? Although Ma Chao is now leading 10,000 people to join, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is still quite large, so in Zhang Ji's opinion, even if Ma Chao and Cao Xing join forces, they still can't change the situation of the battle.
Now Cao Xing and the others have been defeated and retreated by the Qiang people, and they are only 500 meters away from Beidi County.
"Hmph, this Cao Xing's abacus is good enough, and he actually lured the Qiang people to the city where I was stationed, just to let me send troops to help, but I didn't send troops to help. Just let you die outside! A look of unhappiness appeared on Zhang Ji's face, and then he looked at the adjutant general next to him and said, "Tell the brothers, prepare all the guys in their hands for me, and if the Qiang people enter the firing range, shoot them together." ”
The lieutenant general was just about to go down to make arrangements, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he said to Zhang Ji again: "General, that Cao and Ma Chao are still on the battlefield, if we wait for them to get closer, we will shoot down with a burst of arrows, I don't know if it will hurt the two of them!" ”
Cao He and Ma Chao still have many soldiers, but they are Han compatriots, but Zhang Ji doesn't want to care so much at this moment, he just needs to ensure that the place where he is stationed will not be violated by the Qiang people, he was just about to wave his hand impatiently and let the lieutenant do what he ordered, but at this moment, a sound of footsteps came Zhang Ji looked back, and saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, walking up with a group of people.
The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, strong bones, and as soon as he came up, he directly said to Zhang Ji: "General Zhang, now the young master of my family is fighting hard below, but there are not enough manpower, and I hope you will send troops to help!" ”
This young man, Zhang Ji had met a few times before, he remembered that he was a follower next to Ma Chao, and he also had some martial arts in his hands.
However, Zhang Ji was not ready to buy this young man, he waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Let Ma Teng go by himself, his son is in charge of himself, why should it be counted on my head, I will not send troops today!" ”
Although Zhang Ji's identity is only a school lieutenant now, and Ma Teng is already the Taishou of Fufeng County, it stands to reason that Ma Teng's official position is one level greater than Zhang Ji's, but Zhang Ji is not under the management of Ma Cheng, so there is no need to buy Ma Teng's account.
It's just that Zhang Ji can't figure it out is that he has already made it clear to the young man, but the young man has stopped behind him for a long time, and there is no sign of leaving.
Zhang Ji looked at the young man again, and his tone became a little more stern: "Didn't you hear what I just said clearly?" You can go now! ”
However, the young man looked at Zhang Ji, showed his two rows of white teeth, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, I may not be able to help you now!" ”
"What!" Zhang Ji thought that this young man dared to coerce himself, and just wanted to be furious, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a violent sound under the city gate, he looked down, and he didn't know when, the suspension bridge of the city gate was actually put down, not to be precise, but the rope that fell on the suspension bridge was actually cut down.
Just when the young man came up, Chen Hu had already led people directly to the city gate, and when those soldiers opened the gate, where were those Zhang Ji's soldiers willing to do it, but Chen Hu couldn't manage so much, and directly took over all the soldiers at the city gate.
Then he opened the gate and cut down the drawbridge, and now the Qiang people are only five hundred meters away from the city gate of Beidi County, and now the city gate of Beidi County is still open, which is simply a godsend, so many Qiang people have put down the battle in their hands and are ready to rush into Beidi County with all their might.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ji had a dumbfounded feeling that the rope hanging the city gate was extremely strong, and it took a lot of effort to repair, so it was absolutely impossible to repair the drawbridge for a while, but now the Qiang people were about to rush in, and until now his mind was still a little bit unturned.
"General Zhang, quickly order your soldiers to go out of the city to meet the enemy, if it is a little later, it is estimated that the Qiang people will fight into the city!"
The young man's voice behind him sounded again, and Zhang Ji's whole person also reacted, at this time, the most critical thing should be to quickly send troops out of the city to stop those Qiang people, otherwise it will be a big trouble when the Qiang people come in, so Zhang Ji did not hesitate too much, waved his hand, and ordered his soldiers to rush out immediately.
In this way, 20,000 Han troops once again slaughtered from Beidi County, and soldiers and horses from different directions were all mixed together at that moment.
And Ya Dong and Ha Duoli, who are fighting in the middle at the moment, are so angry in their hearts.
Cao Xuan dared to insult Ya Dong, and Ya Dong wanted to directly tear Cao Xuan in half with the momentum of destroying and decaying, but he killed a young general Ma Chao halfway.
Ma Chao completely has a strength that does not match his age, even if the martial arts aura on his body has not completely broken through to the point of martial arts sevenfold, but even so, he has fought more than fifty rounds of single-handedly against two people, and he has not fallen behind at all.
If that's the case, it's fine, but the most important thing is that Cao Xuan is holding a crossbow machine and keeps releasing cold arrows in the back, so that Ya Dong and Ha Duoli are now overstretched. Overwhelmed, it happened that Zhang Ji's army rushed out of it again, and this time the Qiang troops began to retreat.
Seeing this, Ya Dong had a trace of panic in his heart, the defeat was like a mountain, he must not retreat, today he must kill into Beidi County no matter what, otherwise it will definitely be a heavy loss, after all, there is still a distance of almost fifty miles from their camp, if the Han army is chased and killed all the way, I don't know how many people will die.
Hadoli had just wanted to make his soldiers not retreat, but Ma Chao seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the head, although Ya Dong dodged in time, but the spear still slid his scalp and brushed it, leaving a deep blood mark on Ya Zhong's head, which made Ya Dong look even more hideous and terrifying.
This time, Ya Dong was really frightened, and Ha Duoli next to him was also hit by Cao Xing's two arrows, and he was seriously injured at the moment, so the two of them couldn't hold back the fear in their hearts anymore, and hurriedly turned their horses and left.
The surrounding Qiang soldiers saw that their two commanders had already turned around and fled, not to mention, they also turned their horses around and ran towards their big camp one by one.
Ma Chao was very excited when he saw this, and directly beckoned to his soldiers and shouted: "Brothers, rush me, kill me, these Qiang people have bullied us Han people to the head, you must kill him today!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!" The Han army erupted with a tsunami-like sound, and then charged with Ma Chao, killing these Qiang people who had begun to retreat, and Cao Xing was not ambiguous, directly with his own soldiers and horses, and constantly shot the Qiang soldiers fleeing in front.
Two hours passed like this, leaving countless corpses on the way from Beidi County to the Qiang camp, including Qiang people and Han soldiers, but in general, the Qiang people were the majority, and with the increase of distance, the corpses of the Qiang people gradually increased.
It wasn't until he reached the camp of the Qiang people that Zou Geyun came to the rescue with the last 10,000 Qiang people, so that Ya Dong and Ha Duoli and others ran back to the camp smoothly.
Seeing that most of the Qiang people have run back to the camp, there are already many Qiang people standing on the fence holding bows and arrows, if Ma Chao they dare to advance a little distance, they will definitely not hesitate to release arrows, attacking the camp is also a tough battle, the casualties must be very large, this Ma Chao still understands, so he raised his spear and ordered all his men to stop.
And Cao Xuan also stopped at the rear with his men and horses, Cao Xing's hands trembled slightly, not because of fear and trembling, but because of excitement and trembling, the bow and arrow and crossbow machine in Cao Xing's hands added up to almost shot more than a hundred Qiang people, this battle was really enjoyable.
And according to Cao Xing's visual observation, the casualties of him and Ma Chao this time may be more than 2,000 people, but the Qiang people killed by them are almost 20,000 people, and Ya Dong only fled back with a little remnant of the defeated generals.
In this war, half of the Qiang people's forces have been defeated, and it is believed that capturing their camp and regaining the holy decree is just around the corner.
And at this moment, Chen Hu led people to catch up, and Cao Xuan punched Chenghu in the chest.
"Big brother, this battle should be cool, it's a pity that my Lao Chen hasn't killed enough, but I guess I made Zhang Ji's guy angry this time, hahaha!"
And on Ma Chao's side, a teenager also ran to Ma Chao, Ma Chao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ling Ming, this time you did a good job, Zhang Ji's guy is doing everything to push back and block, this time he was forced to send troops, I really want to see what kind of face he is now!" ”
And at this moment, Cao Xuan also took Chen Hu to Ma Chao's side, and when he heard this young man's words, Cao Xing was shocked in his heart, this is not Pang De, who can fight with Guan Yu in the middle of the Three Kingdoms.
