Chapter 1164: The Liangzhou Rebellion
However, it was said that Li You rushed to Tianshui City, and heard that the barbarian soldiers surrounded Shicheng in the city, quickly stabilized the people's hearts, and ordered all troops and horses to be strictly guarded and defend the city. Suddenly, a soldier came to report it, and a man came from due south, claiming that there was a confidential matter. Li You's expression froze, and he asked him. The general replied that it was the confidant of the general of Shicheng Guard, and now he was ordered by the general to ask for help in Tianshui. Shicheng is very anxious, and the city is set on fire every day, and he looks forward to the rescue of Tianshui, but he does not see it. The defender of Shicheng was afraid that the city would be difficult to defend, so he taught him to fight his way out of the siege and came here to deal with the emergency.
After explaining the intention of this general, he asked Li You to raise troops at night as an external response. The soldiers in the city were prepared, and if they saw reinforcements arriving, they opened the gates of the city to receive them.
Li You thought to himself that Shicheng was an important place in Tianshui, and it must not be lost, otherwise Tianshui would lose its barrier, how could it resist the army of more than 100,000 horses. Li You then ordered his righteous son Li Feng to lead 5,000 troops to help.
Li Feng's son was originally from the Li You clan. Li You had no children under his knees, and saw that Li Feng was intelligent, brave, wise and brave, so he was happy and accepted him as his righteous son. Li Feng also innocently lived up to Li You's high expectations, practiced martial arts hard, specialized in the art of war, and won Li You's great love. Li You regards it as his life. At present, Li You has no generals under him, and only his son Li Feng can take on the big responsibility. Li Feng received the order and wanted to set off. Li You suddenly stopped Li Feng and said in a deep voice.
"Ma Mengqi is mighty, his martial arts are at the peak, and few people in the world are his opponents. Your martial arts are just beginning, you have little war, you still need to be cautious in everything, if you meet Ma Mengqi, you can't rely on the courage of flesh and blood, and fight hard!! ”
When Li Feng heard this, he bowed his head heavily and went with the order. Li You was also relieved to see that Li Feng was very bold. At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report, and an elite army from outside the city arrived. The leader is a young general who is only more than 20 years old, named Wang Shuang. The mouth said that he was ordered by the king of Tang to answer first. It turned out that Wang Shuang was injured by Zhang Ren at the beginning, and was later recuperated in Hanzhong. Wang Shuang's temper was hot, and when his injuries healed, he wanted to return to the battlefield. At this time, Xu Rong recommended Wang Shuang, and Wen Han also knew his bravery, so he sent a meteor horse to inform Wang Shuang, and first led 6,000 elite soldiers from Hanzhong to Tianshui to respond. Wang Shuang was ordered to rush to the city of Tianshui in the starry night, marching quickly. Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and urgently summoned Wang Shuang to see him.
When he was young, Wang Shuang entered the palace and bowed his hands, first making a salute. Li You was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Shuang was powerful and powerful, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes were fierce and domineering. Li You asked anxiously.
"Do you have a Tang Wang paperwork!?"
When Wang Shuang heard this, he hurriedly took out the documents from his arms and handed them over to Li You. Li You saw that in the book, Wen Han appreciated Wang Shuang very much, and he was even happier in his heart. However, there are words in the book that although Wang Shuang is brave, he has an impatient temperament, and he needs to be supplemented by thoughtful people. After Li You finished looking at it, he groaned for a while, and then summoned Li Feng to see him again. At this time, Li Feng had already ordered all his troops and horses, and suddenly heard his father-in-law calling, thinking that he had something important to order, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly came back to see him. Li You then introduced Li Feng and Wang Shuang respectively. The two saluted each other and knew each other. Li You then ordered Li Feng to be the main general and Wang Shuang to be the deputy general, and led the troops to Shicheng to rescue. The two generals were ordered to set out that night.
Let's say that Ma Chao led 100,000 barbarian soldiers to surround Shicheng, piled firewood and grass under the city, and claimed to burn the city, but he did not take action for a long time. Suddenly, one day, the barbarian scouts came to report that a Tang army was coming to kill in the northwest. Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he taught the troops to make preparations after they withdrew. On the next day, a Tang soldier stabbed the stone city and galloped away, and a soldier wore a red armor firefire robe and carried a broad-mouthed broadsword, which was Wang Shuang. Before the king and the others arrived, they shouted loudly and opened the city. When the Tang soldiers in the city heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and the guards in the city were about to teach the soldiers to open the door.
Suddenly, a series of cannons rang out. A group of barbarian soldiers and horses rushed up, and the soldiers and horses led by Wang Shuang intercepted and killed. At the same time, Ma Chao led his troops to attack Shicheng overwhelmingly, and the barbarians set fire to the four gates, and the flames rose to the sky. The defender of Shicheng saw that Wang Shuang's soldiers and horses were intercepted and killed, and he was about to send troops to respond. How do you know how to see the firelight surging around and trapping the four gates to death, how can the Tang soldiers in the city get it!?
Ma Chao led the troops to press, the ladder car quickly approached, and the three armies advanced. The city is full of arrows. The brute fangding, with weapons in hand, braved arrows and stones. Or take the ladder, or climb the mountain. The Tang soldiers were in a panic, seeing that the reinforcements were intercepted, the four gates were in flames, it was difficult to stand out, and their morale fell greatly. The defender of the stone city hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to fire a volley, and Ma Chao jumped with his spear, stepped on the ladder, climbed to the top of the city, and set aside the forest of arrows. Tang Bing bravely came to block, but he couldn't resist the power of Ma Chao alone. I saw Ma Chao striding forward, dancing impenetrable with the brocade silver lion tooth spear in his hand, stabbing left and right, as fast as thunder, and the Tang soldiers were defeated and retreated. The more Ma Chao killed, the more powerful he became, with a lion's head and silver armor, bloodstains, terrifying. Ma Chaozong is alone, but he has the potential of thousands of troops, which makes Tang Bing frightened, and gradually no one dares to go forward.
But it was said that Wang Shuang was intercepted and killed by the barbarians, riding a horse and dancing a knife, and fighting to kill. Suddenly, in the midst of the chaos, a female general wielded a lance and killed. Wang Shuang was in danger, and shouted loudly, like thunder, to meet the female general. I saw that charming person, his eyes were painted red, and his eyebrows were full of charm, but the pair of slender eyes were shiny and full of murderous aura, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person at first sight. This woman is Ma Chao's wife, Mrs. Zhurong. Mrs. Zhurong twisted the spear lance, stabbed wildly, and the gun was as fierce as a fire, and the fire was wildly extinguished. Wang Shuang shook his spirit, but the wide-mouthed sword in his hand danced faster and fiercer than Mrs. Zhurong's attack. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Mrs. Zhurong became more and more frightened the more she fought, and she realized that she was not the opponent of this young man. Wang Shuangyu became stronger and stronger, and the big knife changed suddenly, with a treacherous change in the fierceness, and it seemed that cutting the right was hitting the left. Mrs. Zhurong was unexpected, and was slashed in the right shoulder by Wang Shuang, the shoulder guard was suddenly cracked, and the sharp knife cut a bloody light on her shoulder. Mrs. Zhurong exclaimed bitterly, this woman is worthy of being a heroine among women, and she can still launch a sudden attack and brazenly force Wang Shuang back. Wang Shuang did not pity the fragrance and cherished the jade, and the battle rose, and the offensive became more and more sharp. Mrs. Zhurong saw that Wang Shuang was strong, and she had already retreated, and sold a flaw, Wang Shuang slashed the air with a knife, and Mrs. Zhurong took the opportunity to flee. Wang Shuang pursued from behind, and the barbarian army was shocked when they saw that Mrs. Zhurong was defeated, only to see Wang Shuang suddenly kill a gorgeous bloody road from the chaotic army, and he was brave and fierce. Mrs. Zhurong saw that Wang Shuang was chasing after him closely, and suddenly shot out a flying knife coldly. Wang Shuang rushed in a hurry, seeing that the flying knife was about to shoot, at this time Li Feng arrived in time, and the iron whip in his hand was like an angry wave, and he knocked down Mrs. Zhurong's flying knife with one whip.
At the same time, Ma Chao was like an unreachable thunderbolt, suddenly rushing, and killed directly in front of the Shicheng guard, and the brocade silver lion's tooth spear flew up suddenly, stabbing the heart of the Shicheng guard. The drums under the city shook violently, the barbarians rushed up one after another, the defender of the stone city was dead, Ma Chao cut off his head, and shouted high.
"You and the other generals have been killed by my Ma Mengqi, why don't you descend as soon as possible!!"
The horse ultrasound is like a bell, shaking in all directions. The Tang soldiers, who were still desperately resisting all around, saw that the guard was dead, and they were immediately confused. The brutes were menacing, and many of the remaining surrendered to save their lives. Ma Chao won Shicheng, but saw that the Tang soldiers outside the city rushed out of the encirclement and escaped. This time, Ma Chao wanted to pursue, but it was too late.
Ma Chao's face was cold, so he ordered the sergeant to beat the drum to collect the troops, and the golden drum sounded together. The barbarian troops outside the city withdrew one after another. Several barbarians will escort Mrs. Zhurong to see Ma Chao, although Ma Chao has no husband and wife love for Mrs. Zhurong, but she is her own woman after all, how can she not be angry when she sees that her fragrant body is damaged!? Ma Chao's face was hideous, and he asked who was injured. The barbarian general replied resignedly, it was a young fierce general with a huge body and a red armor. Ma Chao listened, gritted his teeth, and kept in mind the approximate appearance of this person. Seeing that Ma Chao was so concerned, Mrs. Zhurong was stunned for a while, and the pain on her shoulders didn't hurt anymore.
However, it was said that Li Feng and Wang Shuang led troops to break through the encirclement of the barbarian soldiers and walked in the direction of Tianshui. Suddenly, Wang Shuang slammed his horse, and the big eyes like tigers and lions glared evilly, and he shouted angrily.
"Ma Mengqi has already won the stone city, so that he can drive straight to Tianshui City. Tianshui's troops were empty, and Tang Wang was far away from the water and could not save the fire. We waited for the order of Li Gong, how could we return in vain. Why don't we stay here and stop Nama Meng from getting up for some time! ”
As soon as Wang Shuang's words came out, the generals suddenly changed color. Some soldiers even thought that Wang Shuang's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he didn't know how thick the sky was. Ma Mengqi's martial arts have reached the pinnacle, and he is really not an idle person, not to mention that his army has 100,000 people, how can he resist it. I am afraid that Ma Mengqi will support the army, and in the blink of an eye, he will be killed and defeated, and there will be no armor left. However, Li Feng is also a courageous person, and he bowed his head.
"What Ziquan said is very true, there is a pass gorge here, the terrain is very dangerous, and it is called Huzui Fork. Our army can go there first to plan for the future. ”
Wang Shuang was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed, and had a little respect for Li Feng at the moment, and secretly slandered.
"I thought that this Li Feng was born with a handsome white face, and it is likely that he is a bad seed. At the moment, it seems that this person is quite courageous, and today he came to the rescue, and he is really a person who is a close friend. ”
After Wang Shuang finished thinking about it, he bowed his hand to Li Feng and said in a condensed voice.
"The general is willing to go, and a certain effect will be used to die!!"
The Tang generals around looked at each other, and when they saw that this matter was settled like this, they were all bitter in their hearts, thinking that these two fledgling young generals were simply frogs at the bottom of the well. Helplessly, he waited for this group to follow to the funeral. Li Feng then led the troops forward, and came to the Huzui fork that night, and the troops rested.
However, it was said that Ma Chao led 100,000 barbarian soldiers, menacing, attacked Tianshui County, Liangzhou, drove all the way, and now broke through Shicheng. Ma Chao came to attack, spread all over Liangzhou, and the people were shocked. There are also many rioters, and the old Ma family wants to secretly throw in. Ma Chao hoped that he could take advantage of the situation to pursue and appease the people, and ordered his henchmen to guard the various cities around Shicheng as the center. The distribution was decided, and Ma Chao led 80,000 barbarians to continue the march. Ma Chao sent Wu Liji as the vanguard general, and said that this person was born with great strength, often fed on snake and scorpion poison, and his body was different from ordinary people, he could break boulders with his bare hands, and he danced a 68-pound mace, and he was brave and powerful. Wu Liji led 10,000 barbarian soldiers to march first, all the way to the momentum, and the momentum was huge to kill Tianshui. Tang Bing scouted and rushed to protect Li Feng. When Li Feng heard this, he didn't panic, so he and Wang Shuangjiao did this. Wang Shuang was ordered to go first, leading 3,000 soldiers, in the plain more than ten miles away from Huzuicha, just in time for the barbarian army of Wuliji. The two armies met in a narrow way, each in formation, and the two armies faced each other, and Uliji rushed out on horseback, waving the mace in his hand and shouting loudly.
"Get out of the way, thief, or don't blame me for not knowing anyone with a stick in my hand!!"
When Wang Shuang heard this, he sneered, he had heard that the barbarians were strong-blooded, fierce and good at fighting, and they thought very highly of themselves. See it today, and so it is. Wang Shuang's expression froze, slapped his horse and raised his sword, and shouted loudly.
"The barbarian rat generation, dare to offend the realm of my Tang Kingdom, it's just that I don't know what to do. You wait to withdraw quickly, or you will not be able to wait for a good death!! ”
