Ma Chao's attack was very fierce, and there were constantly screams from the soldiers defending the city when they died, which made Yang Teng's heart even more worried, and at the same time even more regretful, he really shouldn't have waded into this troubled water in the first place, so that today's embarrassing situation appeared.
However, Yang Fu on the side did not panic in the slightest, and the soldiers under his command also responded calmly, constantly killing the enemy soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city, and Jiang Yi on the other side also won the trust of the soldiers with his calmness and bravery, even the soldiers of Bai Maqiang were no exception, because they saw with their own eyes that Jiang Yu killed hundreds of enemy soldiers with a single gun, and even just one move could cause casualties to several enemy soldiers, so almost a vacuum was formed next to Jiang Yu, and the soldiers under Ma Chao's command walked around when they saw it.
In fact, Ma Chao's siege lasted not long, and after only one meal, he saw chaos behind Ma Chao's army.
"What's going on?" Ma Chao was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked.
After a while, I saw a small colonel running over panting and said to Ma Chao: "General, no, it's not good, an army rushed over and launched an attack on us, the opponent's morale was high, the combat power was strong, and the soldiers couldn't stand it." β
"What? Who else attacked us at this time? Could it be Zhang Ji? β
I saw the soldier say: "The other party's flag is indeed embroidered with the word 'Zhang', is it really Zhang Ji?" β
"Hmph, who else would he be? I really didn't expect him to come so quickly! Ma Chao immediately felt heavy in his heart when he heard this, one side is Yang Fu, the other side is Zhang Ji, the generals on both sides are very strong, now Zhang Ji is attacking from the rear, Yang Fu will definitely respond, in this case, his own belly and back to the enemy, there is no chance of winning, since you know that you can't win, it is better to give up directly.
So Ma Chao had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops and prepare to retreat.
But in this way, it was miserable for those soldiers who were besieging the city, some of whom had just climbed to the top of the city, and now they had to climb down the ladder immediately, but how could the soldiers of the other side allow them to retreat properly? Naturally, they were stabbed with spears, hooks, and the like, and instead of dying on the head of the city, these people fell to their deaths from the ladder in the process of retreating.
And those soldiers who escaped by luck naturally did not have any good luck, just when they withdrew without looking back, the bows and crossbows on the city were fired in unison, and in an instant crossbow arrows rained, and many soldiers were drowned in the rain of arrows and were shot into hedgehogs.
And after the rain of arrows, Yang Fu asked Jiang Yi to defend the city, and he personally led his troops out of the city, and fought with Zhang Ji on the back of Ma Chao, who was fleeing.
At this time, Yang Teng also took the initiative to ask for his life, hoping to fight with Yang Fu and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
Of course, this is because the current situation has changed, Yang Teng has seen that Ma Chao's defeat has been decided, and this martial capital will change its master in the future, since he wants to avoid Ma Chao's revenge, and at the same time he wants to move his clansmen here, so naturally he has to ask for the Han army, in this case, if he doesn't make some contributions, how can the other party agree?
Of course, Yang Fu was willing for the Qiang people to participate, because in this way, the Qiang people could only be tied to themselves, so Yang Fu agreed very happily.
"Please brother, no, please General Yang to see our performance, this time will definitely not disappoint you." Now that there is a request for help, Yang Teng didn't even dare to shout as a brother, and directly called Yang Fu "General Yang".
Yang Fu smiled and said, "When did we become so polite between us?" Brother can still be called by the old name. β
"How dare you, how dare you, before it was just the arrogant nonsense of the last general, the last general was just a vulgar and savage, how dare you call the general a brother? If this matter is not mentioned again, the end will be ashamed. Yang Teng was embarrassed, this was mainly because his brothers and brothers were too casual before, and now he suddenly found that the distance between him and the other party was too far, if he called him like that again, even he himself was a little uneasy.
But he saw Yang Fu and said: "Pei Gong once said, no matter the Huns, Xianbei or Diqiang, as long as they sincerely belong to my Han people, they are all my Han people, how can there be a distinction between high and low?" Since you belong to the Yang clan and I are the same clan, we should be close to each other like brothers and cooperate closely, so no matter when, as long as you have your heart towards the big man, you are my brother Yang Fu, we will still be as close as before. β
Yang Fu's words are not lying, Pei Qing did say this when talking about the relationship between the Han people and foreign races, but of course Pei Qing did not say this from the position of the foreign race, but saw tangible benefits from the Xiongnu, he abolished the slavery and aristocracy of the Xiongnu in the process of governing the Xiongnu, and registered the herdsmen all according to the tribe, and the herdsmen only need to pay a fixed food tax to the imperial court, and no one cares about them anymore, and this tax is mainly cattle, sheep and horses, which are ready-made by the herdsmenIn this way, their burden is much lighter than before, so the herdsmen support Pei Qing from the bottom of their hearts, and occasionally some disgruntled nobles rebelled, all of which were easily pacified, so that the herdsmen can produce with peace of mind, and have a steady stream of cattle, sheep and horses for him, which makes the meat and horses in Pei Qing's army more and more abundant, the fire of the sergeants has been improved, and the physical fitness is also rapidly improving, and the combat effectiveness is naturally getting stronger and stronger.
This is just a Hun that has brought so much benefit to Pei Qing's army, if all the other alien races become like this, I really don't know how much benefit it will bring him? That's why Pei Qing put forward the idea of not discriminating against other races, and wanting to coexist peacefully with them.
Of course, Yang Teng didn't know Pei Qing's intention when he said this, but he was now very moved by Pei Qing's words, because in history, there have never been few Han officials who have adopted such an attitude towards their alien races, in fact, it is precisely because of this inferiority complex that their ancestors changed their surnames to Han for themselves, but although they have the surname Han, it does not mean that they have obtained an equal status with the Han nobles.
It is precisely because of this inferiority complex for a long time, so when he heard that Pei Qing actually advocated the idea of equality between Han people and people of different races, Yang Teng was immediately moved, and said with emotion: "You are right, Pei Gong is a very good person, and he is really broad-minded, which is not comparable to ordinary people, since this is the case, then we are still brothers, don't worry, this battle will be handed over to me today, I will not let you, let alone disappoint Pei Gong!" β
Then Yang Teng led his army into battle, loudly inspiring the soldiers to fight bravely and not to fall for his prestige.
So this army, under the leadership of Yang Teng, forgot about life and death, and fought bravely and bloodily, which brought a great shock to Ma Chao.
