Chapter 117: All-out war

"General Zhang, you first dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, don't you see that you haven't lost many soldiers and horses today? And we won a big victory, which is a good thing, a great thing! Ma Teng smiled and said to Zhang Ji.

But Zhang Ji had a black face, ignoring Ma Teng, and looked directly at Ma Chao and Pang De, at this moment, Ma Chao and Pang De were still laughing.

Pound has been the best friend of Ma Chao since he was a child, and Pound is also the first to look forward to Ma Chao, he will do whatever Ma Chao asks him to do, and today let him attract Zhang Ji's attention, and he did not refuse.

And Ma Chao doesn't have to be afraid, anyway, with his Lao Tzu in front, he just pits his father, in his opinion, this is not a matter at all.

Looking at these two guys, completely ignoring his anger at the moment, Zhang Ji had no choice but to turn his eyes to Ma Teng again, and said angrily: "Ma Taishou, what you said is good, you won a big victory, but today I lost at least seven or eight hundred soldiers, how should we calculate this matter!" ”

In the face of Zhang Ji's aggressiveness, Ma Teng was a little tired of coping, and finally Cao Xing was still there, after all, this matter was related to him, so it was still necessary for him to take up this responsibility, and he couldn't push it to Ma Teng, I saw him look at Zhang Ji and said.

"General Zhang, this is a bad word, there is a saying in my Han Dynasty, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, haven't you seen the actions of the Qiang people today? Not only did they want to eat me in one bite, but they also wanted to enter the Northland County and burn and kill and plunder! ”

"I know, maybe Dong Taishou's order to you is not to take the initiative, but to let you defend well, but please think about it, eternal defense is not a way, if you can solve all the people at once, let them completely roll back to the desert hundreds of miles away, so that you can stay here in peace and will never be harassed by the Qiang people again!"

"Of course, as for the loss you mentioned, I have also considered it, and now I have written back to the state, I believe that it will not be long before the money will be delivered, and I will send it to your mansion at that time!"

Cao Xing and Ma Teng were there to talk and persuade Zhang Ji to send troops, anyway, the matter had come to this point, and the vitality of the Qiang people had been greatly reduced, plus what Cao Xing said was indeed reasonable, and finally Zhang Ji said reluctantly.

"If you want to fight, go and fight, I will be your backup at most, provide you with some food and grass baggage, let me go to the front and work hard, it is impossible!"

Cao He and Ma Teng looked at each other and smiled, since Zhang Ji had already expressed this attitude, then the next thing would be much easier.

Ma Teng directly handed over 10,000 soldiers and horses to Ma Chao, and asked him to camp with Cao Xing, nominally Ma Chao is still the commander to lead an army, but Ma Chao still doesn't understand a lot when dealing with military and political affairs, so he often asks Cao Xing for advice.

However, according to Ma Chao's temper, he will not admit defeat to Cao Xuan so easily, Cao Xuan beat him so badly on the martial arts field that day, and he still remembers it vividly at this moment, according to Ma Chao's words, this is the reason why he is willing to send troops to help Cao Xing, not because he was moved by Cao Xing, but because he wants to prove in front of Cao Xing that he is by no means as unbearable as Cao Xing said.

Sooner or later, he will have to have a good fight with Cao Xing, so that Cao Xing will lose convincingly in front of him.

Cao Xuan just smiled at this, Ma Chao can change the best, now Ma Chao and his father Ma Teng are talking, they are gradually becoming polite, anyway, the number of cheating fathers has begun to gradually decrease, and he has begun to rely on himself.

So every day, Cao Xuan took the soldiers and horses, ran to the camp of the Qiang people to call the battle, and let Ya Dong's ugly monster come out to fight, Ya Dong was shot through one ear by Cao Xing, and his face was injured by Ma Chao at this moment, it really looked a little uglier than the original, but Cao Xuan just grabbed this and didn't let go, which made Ya Dong angry.

Cao Xing was a little agitated, and he was about to go out of the city for a decisive battle, Zou Geyun and many of his subordinates, they couldn't pull it.

As a result, every time Ya Dong went out of the city to meet the attack, Cao Xuan would always make his soldiers just shoot arrows from a distance, Ya Dong paid a painful price, and finally when he was about to rush in front of Cao Xing, Ma Chao led people to kill from the other side.

Now here is a plain, where is there any strategy to speak of, the battle between the two armies is more than the narrow road to meet the brave wins, by Ma Chao so brave to charge forward, Ya Dong the whole person is frightened and hurriedly fled, and every time his soldiers go out with him, the casualties are countless.

In this way, the number of soldiers in the Yadong camp began to decrease sharply, but not long after, another group of Qiang soldiers entered the camp, needless to say, the source of these Qiang soldiers was naturally given by the royal city in their rear.

So for a while, Cao Xing and Yadong started a long-term tug-of-war, although Yadu has been losing troops and losing generals, but it is still undefeated.

Cao Xing wanted to attack the city quickly, so he began to teach Ma Chao's men how to make things like Jingkai.

When the well was opened, it was possible to stand in the distance and shoot the gunmen's camp, which increased the number of casualties of the Qiang people a lot.

Two months later, a holy decree was sent from Luoyang, and that holy decree was written on it, Feng Ma Teng was the general of Poqiang, and he led the wind to be too guarded.

In the past, Ma Teng only had the name of Fufeng Taishou, but now there is a Poqiang general in front, and Poqiang General is actually just a miscellaneous general of the imperial court in the final analysis, not to mention that now the Han Dynasty's control over the local area has begun to gradually weaken, and the name of a general has no effect, and the court will not give you more troops, nor will it give you more military salaries.

But even so, it still attracted the eyes of many people, as for why the reason is very simple, Ma Teng's current official position has added the name of a miscellaneous general, so it is said that Ma Teng can recruit troops independently.

Therefore, when the holy decree came, Ma Teng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Fufeng, so that his subordinates who stayed there immediately recruited troops, and this time recruited 15,000 soldiers.

Therefore, the difference is that there is a general's name here, and if you do things in a proper manner, the soldiers and horses under your hands will gradually increase, but if you are a Taishou and have seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses under your hands, it is abnormal, and it is easy to be truthful.

Of course, the person who envied Ma Teng the most was none other than Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji was a little remorseful, why did he fight logistics in the back, and let Ma Teng's people charge ahead now, basically didn't fight, Ma Chao Cao Xing and a few of them can behead more than 1,000 levels, once these exploits are reported, Ma Teng's official position is not a flying rise.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who is called Zhang Ji, he was not ready to contribute at the beginning, and now he can only look at Ma Teng.

As soon as the charge on the battlefield on this day ended, Ma Chao walked to Cao Xing's death, and the joy on his face was overflowing: "Hehe, this battle is really enjoyable, I almost killed that bastard of Ya Dong!" ”

At this moment, Chen Hu next to him also walked over with his Xuanhua big axe, the expression on his face was the same as Ma Chao, both of them were fierce generals on the battlefield, and they liked to fight and kill the most.

"Hehe, although you fat man is a little worse than me, but you are not bad, we have time to have a good fight!" Ma Chao looked at Chen Hu and said.

"Okay, Xi Liangjin's skills are really amazing, I'm about to ask for advice!" Chen Hu also said arrogantly, and then both of them laughed, in fact, in these days of fighting, the martial arts of the two of them have improved a lot.

Chen Hu said that he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Martial Dao Sevenfold, while Ma Chao had directly broken through to the level of the Martial Dao Sevenfold, and was now even stronger than before.

While a few people were talking, Pound came over with a few soldiers, and among those soldiers there were also a few people dressed as Qiang people.

"Meng Qi, this war has gained a lot, I also captured a few Qiang prisoners, you see what to do!"

"Hehe, Ling Ming, you didn't disappoint me!" When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately became interested and turned over and dismounted, and Pang De's soldiers also consciously held the prisoners on the ground.

Ma Chao glanced at Cao Xing, then at the prisoners, and then casually looked at a Qiang soldier and asked, "Let me ask you, where is the purpose of the consecration you intercepted three months ago!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xing's heart was quite moved, Ma Chao is thinking about him now, to put it bluntly, he has been fighting for so long, just for that holy decree.

The Qiang soldier shook his head a little frightened, Ma Chao was a little unhappy when he saw this, at that moment, he directly pulled out the saber on Pang De's waist, and then a knife light flashed, and the Qiang soldier immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing Ma Chao kill so decisively, those Qiang captives trembled with fright one by one, Ma Chao looked at them with the knife in his hand, and shook it in front of them: "I will give you another chance, tell the whereabouts of the holy decree, I can spare you from death!" ”

However, the captives of the Qiang people, even now, are still shaking their heads in fear, this time Ma Chao is a little annoyed, in his opinion, these Qiang soldiers are completely deceiving themselves, he just wanted to draw a knife to kill, but he caught a glimpse, at the very end there was a prisoner with an unusually calm expression, as if he was not afraid of the sword in his hand at all.

Ma Chao walked to the rear, looked at the captive, who was dressed as a scribe, and asked coldly: "What are you still dancing for me here now, are you really not afraid of death!" ”

When the captive heard this, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, but he finally turned his neck and said: "Hmph, if you want to kill, you will kill, if I Zou Geyun blinked, I am not worthy of being a person, my loyalty to our tribe, just as you Han people say, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, sacrifice his life for the country, and the horse leather shroud!" ”
