Chapter 173: Soldiers Forced Changyuan

After a while, when Ma Zongheng raised his head again, he had already escaped. At this time, Gao Ran and several generals rode their horses to come, and the horse turned around sharply and ordered Gao Ran: "Cut off the head of the thief and try to appease the thief!" ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he was busy giving up his orders, so he pulled out his horse and rushed to Bai Huan's corpse, a spear was steeply pierced on Bai Huan's neck, and the spearhead suddenly went up, and its head suddenly cracked and flew up, and was grabbed by Gao Ran.

However, it was said that Zhang Liao and Ma Zongheng were still fighting with the thieves, and most of the thieves were panicked and timid to fight, and only a small number of elite thieves were resisting stubbornly.

After a while, Gao Ran rushed over with the head of Bai Huan, holding his head back and forth on the side and kept shouting, saying that the thief's head had been executed, and those who descended would not be killed. This burst of cheers, most of the thieves no longer have the slightest will to fight, and they all abandoned and surrendered, shouting surrender one after another. Among those elite thieves, many thieves hated Bai Huan, so they also ordered surrender. After a while, only a few hundred people remained and did not surrender, and the leader of the thief army saw that the general situation was gone, and he would not die innocently, so he dropped the big knife in his hand and ordered his subordinates to surrender. At this point, Bai Huan was surrounded by nearly thousands of soldiers, almost all of whom were under the command of Ma Zongheng.

It turned out that the strategy that Ma Zongheng came up with last night was to teach Zhang Liao as bait, but if the thieves really attacked, seeing that there was no succession between the two armies before and after, he would be excited, and at the same time, he would be greatly relaxed. Immediately, Zhang Liao saw the opportunity to act again, deliberately delayed, and lured the thieves to attack. On the other side, although Zhang Liao's army had already set off, Ma Zongheng, who was sent later, led his troops all the way to catch up. And during this period, the thieves really attacked, and abandoned the baggage, so that the thieves robbed, and when they were in chaos, they pounced and killed them. Finally, when the troops catch up, they can deliver a fatal blow!

Although Ma Zongheng's strategy is not too meticulous, it is more than enough to deal with these black mountain thieves.

About an hour later, it was almost dusk. The surrender has just been completed. The scout had already reported that Changyuan City was not far away, and when he went to the foot of Changyuan City, he saw thieves from the camp outside the city flocking into the city, fearing that the thieves had taken Changyuan.

"Nine times out of ten, Changyuan has been taken by thieves, and now Bai Huan has been executed, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone, and it is difficult to govern Bai Huan's command, so he gathered all his troops in the city, thinking of resisting our army according to the city. When our army first arrived, it would probably take a lot of time to set up in the camp, and there were many surrenders, and most of them were delayed, and there was a fear that things would change. Now, while the thieves have not set fire to the camp, take the thieves as the pioneer, take the opportunity to kill, and take the camp first! Ma Zongheng spoke sharply, his eyes were full of light, and he spoke eloquently. When Gao Ran heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Didn't the lord intend to recruit Montenegrin thieves?" But if the surrender is the forerunner, and they take the opportunity to escape, what should they do? ”

"Humph! Now the thieves in Changyuan are already timid, and they are even more timid and afraid, even if these soldiers are allowed to escape, the thieves in the city will not dare to open the door to answer. "Or it is that there are more marches and battles, and Ma Zongheng, who is keen on this, no longer blindly enjoys the joy of fighting on the battlefield, and can achieve the goal with strategy, but it can also bring him great pleasure and satisfaction!

"The lord has a great plan!" When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes were also bright, and he responded with joy. So, Gao Ran hurriedly summoned the troops and took them as the pioneer to kill the thieves first. Ma Zongheng led most of the soldiers and horses, following from behind, while Zhang Liao left behind to guard the baggage troops, just in case.

But he said, "The sun is setting." The thieves outside Changyuan City were rushing to the city with baggage, armaments and other materials, and they waited for the packing up and set fire to the camp.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of killing behind the camp, and the thieves in the camp immediately panicked when they heard it, but they saw that the brothers, who were still comrades in the army today, actually rushed towards the barracks.

"Let's run for Lao Tzu, who dares to slack off, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!!" But he saw that Gao Ran led a group of soldiers and horses to drive behind, with a fierce face, and all the troops were surrendered, so he could only follow it. At the moment of the moment, there was another series of earth-shattering killing sounds, but it was Ma Zongheng who led most of them to kill later. Seeing this, the thieves still cared about their baggage and armaments, so they ran away and rushed desperately towards the city.

"These damn officers and soldiers!! Dare to come and take the opportunity to rob the village!! "Just at the north gate to investigate the solid, I saw it clearly, and I was angry, and I was afraid of offending my subordinates, so I hurriedly taught the soldiers to welcome in. After a while, most of the thieves fled back. Gao Ran also led his troops to the camp, and without much effort, he grabbed the thief's camp first.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the camp, and it turned out that many soldiers saw the city gate open, and rebelled one after another, shouting loudly while rushing towards the city.

"Brother, don't close the door, we are forced by the official dog, and we have no choice but to surrender!!"

"Brother in the city, come and answer it~~!!"

"General Zhenggu, we are loyal to the Black Mountain Heavenly Army, don't doubt it, we will come and surrender!!"

A burst of desperate shouts continued to sound, and Ma Zongheng seemed to have expected it, and when he arrived in the camp, he still kept going, chasing and killing from behind, and teaching a group of soldiers to make a big noise. So thousands of soldiers, all screaming angrily, killing like a tide, those soldiers listened, frightened the six gods without a master, busy for their lives.

Seeing that the troops who had first escorted the baggage and armaments had returned to the city, he completely ignored the surrendered soldiers who fled back, and shouted urgently: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, and I am afraid that those surrendered troops will hide ghosts, so close the city gate and shoot them with arrows!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several heads under Bai Huan's command changed color sharply, but looking at the officers and soldiers who were chasing and killing from behind, the killing sound was terrifying, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

Thundered~~!

Seeing that the first wave of surrendered troops who fled first were about to rush to the city, the city gate suddenly began to close.

"No!! No~~!!! Don't close the door~~!! ”

"Brothers in the city, we are in the same camp~~!!"

"Damn, open the door for Lao Tzu!!"

The soldiers under the city were either crying and crying, or begging, or cursing angrily. Seeing this, the soldiers who came after also shouted one after another, and for a while the sound of bitter crying, wailing, and angry screams was endless.

The officers and soldiers who rushed behind them sounded like a shocking sound of killing, but they did not rush madly, but marched slowly, and Ma Zongheng squinted even more, with a treacherous smile on his face, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

Sure enough, a terrifying cry suddenly sounded under the city, with an order from the city, suddenly the arrows were fired, and the soldiers in the city were suddenly killed in a chaos, under the intensive attack of the arrows, the blood flowers bloomed one after another, and there were many casualties.

After the first round of arrow rain stopped, hundreds of soldiers died. Just when those troops were desperate and almost desperate. Behind me, I suddenly remembered the shouts of Ma Zongheng.

"How can a thief know loyalty!? But all those who come to surrender, I regard them as brothers, and forgive you for waiting for the new vote not long ago, and the previous sins can be blamed for the past!! Ma Zongheng shouted, and the small number of soldiers who had not rebelled were busy calling for the people to come back.

When the soldiers under the city heard this, they couldn't take care of so much, so they were busy and fled.

"Wow, ah~~!! It's also in the plan, and it's in the plan~~!!! Above the city, there was a sudden roar of exhaustion, and I saw that he threw off his helmet violently, his eyes were red, and he trembled with anger, and for a moment he forgot to give the order to release the arrows.

As a result, the troops under the city fled one after another, but Ma Zongheng and his deployment were appeased and collected in the future. Ma Zongheng didn't forget to ride his horse to the city gate, with a bright smile on his face, and shouted to the city Gu: "Xiaogu thief! I'd like to thank you for your deployment, and I'll be sure to live for the rest of my life! Hahahaha~~!! ”

Ma Zongheng's last laugh was particularly piercing and sadistic, and he was so angry that he roared and cursed in the city, carrying a big knife, like a defeated rooster. Ma Zongheng ignored the barking of the lost dog, and as soon as he pulled out the horse, he rushed back to the camp, leading nearly five or six thousand people back to the camp.

Ma Zongheng was also presumptuous, because Bai Huan marched very fast, and the county commander of Changyuan was too timid to send troops to intercept it, so Bai Huan quickly came to Changyuan City, and set up a camp outside the city, with fences and antlers as barriers. And just last night, Changyuan County Commander saw that Bai Huan was ferocious, afraid that the city could not be guarded, and after being broken by the thief, he was tortured by Bai Huan, that is, he sacrificed the city, but in the end it did not end well, not only was Bai Huan killed on the spot, but his family was slaughtered by Bai Huan.

Without much to say, he was not in a hurry to fortify his horse, and when he returned to the camp, he taught the army to cook in the stove, and soon the smoke of the cooking stove rose. He and the thieves gritted their teeth and glared angrily, but they were afraid that there would be deception, so they did not dare to send troops to attack.

Those soldiers were already resentful, and when they saw that the soldiers in the city were cowardly and cowardly, they became disdainful, but gradually admired Ma Zongheng.

The night passed, and the next day the horses were finished and went to the city to fight. No matter how Ma Zongheng scolds, the thieves in the city will not come out. Ma Zongheng thought that with a solid temperament, I am afraid that he would scold his ancestors for eighteen generations, and now he will not send troops out of the city to fight, so he will not waste his words, order the army to return to the camp, and begin to reorganize and surrender troops.

When he heard that Ma Zongheng led his troops to retreat, he saw that he was not impatient, but he was uneasy, and he was busy repairing a secret letter and teaching people to send it to the Yu Poison Army, who was confronting Qiao Mao in Puyang.

In other words, during the period when Ma Zongheng was in Yanzhou East County, the Xiliang Army, which was guarding Hanoi, also heard a lot of rumors. Fan Chou, a general under the command of Dong Zhuo in Hanoi, listened to the invincible of this mysterious officer and soldier, and suspected that it was a group of rebels under the command of Ma Zongheng, who had rebelled in Keiguan not long ago.

On the other hand, it is said that Dong Zhuo has firmly grasped the power of the DPRK and China, and the armies of all walks of life are now firmly established in the area around Guanzhong, and Luoyang can be said to be as stable as a rock.
