Chapter 450: Ma Teng's Troops (II)
"General Xu is very gracious, the villain has waited for thanks~!" The men drank together, and after they bowed again, two more soldiers threw two blades, and the two remnants thanked them as they took them. After a while, all the remnants of the soldiers wiped their throats and killed themselves.
The surrounding soldiers looked at it, each of them had a look of pain, they didn't hate the stern and ruthless Xu Rong at all, and now they hated it so much that they wanted to break it into pieces, but it was Ma Chao who was playing with the dignity of these remnants.
"Whew~~!! Damn the Ma family, I won't break your body into thousands of pieces, I will not give up, I will not give up~~!! ”
"Kill, kill, kill~~!! I want to fight to the death with Ma Jiajun, and if I don't recover this blood debt, how can I rest!? ”
"General Xu, please give an order, we will defend the honor of our army to the death!!"
The generals shouted one after another, full of fighting spirit and murderous spirit. But Xu Rong said a word, and pounced on the generals like cold water.
"Pass my command, and all the troops shall not act rashly. The Ma family's children are all cavalry, and they are still available in the field, but it is wishful thinking to rely on these cavalry to break through my Chencang solid city. As long as you hold the city firmly, it is easy to repel it! Xu Rong said quickly. The generals listened and gritted their teeth, but they knew that Xu Rong was right, plus Xu Rong had always governed the army strictly, enforced the law vigorously, and had a grand reputation, and everyone did not dare to refute Xu Rong.
But he said that two days later, Chen Cangcheng was down. Ma Chao led the deployment after recuperating and killing. With Ma Chao's order, the three thousand horsemen quickly set up their formation, only to see the blades flickering, the armor was distinct, and it could be described as majestic.
"Old dog Xu Rong, do you still remember the master~!! Come down and die~~!! Ma Chao held up the Flying Dragon Silver Spear and shouted angrily, and the sound was like a thunderbolt exploding, so it was terrifying. When the generals under the command of Xu Rongjun in the city saw it, they were all secretly surprised, and secretly sighed that the name of Jinma Chao was worthy of its name.
"Hmph, your subordinates are defeated, and you dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous, aren't your Ma family all cheeky and shameless~!?" Xu Rong in the city heard this, but he was not in a hurry or impatient, and scolded back coldly.
When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly stared at him, his handsome face turned red with anger, and he scolded urgently: "Xu Rong old dog, you don't want to talk wildly, dare to come down and fight!?" ”
"Hahahaha, child ignorance!! Chen Cang is solid and solid as a rock, why should I abandon the solid city and not defend it, and come to fight with you desperately!? You really have the ability, why don't you break through this Chencang City, and I will fight you to the death when the time comes!! Xu Rong laughed out loud rarely, and when he laughed, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but laugh together.
"Wow~!! You shameless old dog, the most hateful~~!! When Ma Chao heard this, he glared and scolded angrily, knowing that the cavalry he led could not attack the city, and he hated Xu Rong for threatening him with this, acting arrogantly and presumptuously here.
"Cousin! The old dog is using the method of agitation, and you can't fall for his tricks! Ma Dai saw that Ma Chao was a little out of control and went violent, and hurriedly persuaded. Ma Chao was obedient, couldn't help gritting his teeth to suppress his anger, and said: "How I don't know that the old dog is tricking, but this bad breath just can't swallow it!" ”
"As the commander of the first army, my cousin controls the lives of a thousand brothers, not to mention the consequences of affecting the morale of the three armies if our army is defeated by Xu Rong! My cousin has a heavy responsibility, even if I can't swallow this breath, I have to swallow it forcibly!! Ma Dai hissed urgently.
At this time, Xu Rong in the city led the generals to scold again, Ma Chao heard it, and shouted angrily, but he still suppressed his anger, and after holding back, the steel teeth almost crushed and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Seeing that the Ma family's army was retreating, the generals of Xu Rongjun in the city were all sneering and insulting. On the contrary, Xu Rong frowned, and said in his heart: "This Ma Chao child seems to have grown a lot, this son is extremely brave, and now it is difficult for Xiliang to find an opponent." I don't know how long I can stop this beast for the lord! ”
But said that Ma Chao led the troops to withdraw, Ma Dai said that at present, Xu Rong is defending the city to the death, and he does not dare to fight lightly, and the self-army does not need to rush to attack.
After these years of growth, Ma Chao's temperament has matured a lot, so he promised Ma Dai's construction, and ordered the soldiers to start building the camp.
Xu Rong inquired carefully and learned about it and quickly reported back. When Xu Rong's soldiers heard this, they all felt that it was the right time to attack Ma Chao's department. However, Xu Rong refused everyone's suggestion, and still strictly ordered him to defend the city and not act rashly.
As a result, both armies stood still and were at peace. Five or six days later, Ma Teng came with a large army. After Ma Teng arrived, he first praised Ma Chao's previous heroic achievements in repelling the enemy's iron cavalry, and then praised Ma Chao's maturity in being able to see the situation clearly and not rashly attacking. Ma Chao didn't take the credit, saying that it was all the credit of the efforts of the soldiers, and he reminded Ma Dai several times to help, and praised him endlessly. When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and rewarded Ma Dai and promoted him to the rank of general in the army as an encouragement. Ma Dai became a tooth goalkeeper at a young age, and all the generals were envious, and at the same time, they were also very happy about the emergence of the new star of the Ma family.
Soon after, Cheng Gongying, who went to investigate, returned. Ma Teng then consulted Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying found that Chencang City was heavily defended, and he was afraid that it would not be able to break through with flesh and blood alone, so he taught Ma Teng to give the soldiers time to rest first, and then it was not too late to attack after the army's baggage and weapons arrived. Ma Teng attached great importance to Cheng Gongying, so he obeyed.
On the other side, Xu Rong heard that Ma Teng led most of the soldiers and horses to come, and thought that the big battle was imminent, and in the past five or six days, the soldiers and horses he transferred from Sanfu also arrived one after another, and he was preparing to fight with the Ma family's army.
Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a hint of foreboding, always frightened, but he couldn't find the reason for it for a while.
However, it was said that after Ma Teng led the army to arrive, a few days later, the rear baggage and ordnance teams also arrived one after another. Ma Chao was overjoyed and took the lead in the battle. When Ma Teng heard this, his expression was shocked, so he ordered Ma Chao to go first, and the army rushed to the end.
So, only to listen to the drums and vibrations in the Ma family's military camp, Ma Chao led 3,000 ironclad light horsemen to go out first. At the same time, Ma Teng and his generals were also deploying and preparing quickly.
On Chen Cang City, Xu Rong was in the enemy building, thinking about why he had been in a bad mood these days, and always felt that there was a reason for something ominous. And with these days, day and night are troubled, and always feel a headache. Especially today, this headache attacks are very frequent, and Xu Rong has no time to think about things.
"Since Lu Fengxian killed that Ma Zongheng, the military advisor has long been wary of this Ma family, and according to the strategy of the military advisor, it should be foolproof. But why do I always feel that something terrible is happening? But for now, I can't let up! Damn Han Wenyue, I haven't seen any movement for a long time, but fortunately, I was prepared and transferred Sanfu's soldiers and horses, just in case. Otherwise, once the Han Wen appointment is broken, Chen Cang's troops will be empty, how can he resist the revenge army of the Ma family!! "In Dong Zhuo's Xiliang faction, Hua Xiong is extremely brave, but he doesn't know how to use Tao, but he is just a puppet. Although Li Xuan and Guo Yan can march and fight, and they have martial arts, they are not strong in temperament and like to calculate, and they are still a few points away from the talents of generals. Although Niu Fu is good at deploying troops and perceiving the situation, he is not decisive and lacks in employing people. And only Xu Rong is a person who is not only meticulous and cautious, good at using troops to march, but also resolute and loyal by nature, which can be described as a general. It is precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo is relieved to hand over the land of Sanfu to Xu Rong to guard.
Speaking of which, Xu Rong has never been defeated since he joined the army under Dong Zhuo, and has repeatedly repelled strong enemies for Dong Zhuo, and is a victorious general in the Xiliang faction. Dong Zhuo can establish today's huge power, and he is inseparable from Xu Rong.
It's just that there is a good saying that there is no invincible world on the battlefield, and the reason why it is always invincible is because it has not yet encountered a real strong enemy.
And Xu Rong didn't know that his every move had already been anticipated by a ghost talent who was thousands of miles away, and he even strategized and laid out an earth-shattering overall situation.
Just when Xu Rong was in his mind, a soldier suddenly rushed to report urgently, saying that the Ma family army was attacking in a big way, and it was menacing, and Ma Chao led his troops to kill the city. As soon as the man finished reporting, an earth-shattering shout of killing sounded outside the city. Suddenly, all the generals under Xu Rong's command heard the sound of killing, and rushed into the enemy building, all wanting to go out to meet the enemy.
Xu Rong was shocked, went to the women's wall to watch, and saw Ma Chao leading his troops to rush over. Xu Rong couldn't help but look pale and think about it.
"General!! There were not many troops in Chencang before, and if you want to defend the city, you should also. But these days, reinforcements have arrived one after another, and now there are 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, why be afraid of the Ma family's army!? Why don't you go out of the city to fight and kill him by surprise!? ”
"That's right!! The brothers can't bear Ma Chao's erection, but if they fight, they will fight to the death, and we are willing to fight to the death!! ”
"I am willing to fight to the death~~!!"
The generals shouted in unison and knelt down on one knee. Xu Rong saw that the generals were full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't help but feel strong, and said angrily: "Okay!! All of you brothers are so determined, if I retreat in the city again, won't I vent everyone's anger!? Pass my orders, the second, third, and fifth brigades will all go with me, and the rest of the deployment will stay in the city!! And let the 6th and 7th brigade of crossbowmen all prepare in the city in case the enemy army attacks the city!! ”
Xu Rong spoke sharply and quickly gave an order. When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they all raised their voices to receive their orders.
When he was young, he saw the city gate open, Xu Rong led several soldiers and horses to rush out one after another, and instantly opened a large array in the shape of "Pin", with shield soldiers in front and pikemen on both wings, but there were no cavalry and crossbowmen in the array.
Ma Chao saw Xu Rongjun killing, and knew that Xu Rong was good at using soldiers, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly gave an order, drank the army, set up a cavalry formation, and formed a crane-shaped formation.
"Ma Chaoxiaoer, aren't you ashamed to fight to the death with me, do you dare to fight!?" As soon as the formation of the two armies was set, Xu Rong flew out of the battle and shouted loudly.
Ma Chaozheng saw that there were no cavalry or crossbowmen in Xu Rong's array, and he was secretly laughing at this Xu Rong who didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he used soldiers like this, and when he heard that Xu Rong dared to fight, he couldn't help but get up, slapped the horse out of a hurry, raised the flying dragon Yinhui spear in his hand, and shouted to Xu Rong: "Xu Rong old dog, don't worry, the master will come to take your dog's life!" ”
Ma Chao drank and was about to lead the troops to kill, when Ma Dai hurriedly came and persuaded: "Cousin, slow down!" Both the uncle and the military advisor have orders to keep you from acting rashly until the army arrives. And Xu Rong's soldiers are weird, it's better to be careful!! ”
"Hmph, just a rabble, I'm alone but can break it, why be afraid!!" Ma Chao was arrogant, and his sharp eyes shot like dragon eyes. These days, he can be forced to choke enough, he has long wanted to kill, and now he is relying on the army to arrive soon, where is he willing to let go of this great opportunity.
"Cousin!!" Ma Dai saw that Ma Chao refused to listen to persuasion, so he couldn't help but be anxious. After Ma Chao shouted angrily, he galloped out and took the lead in killing Xu Rongjun's formation.
"Brothers, follow the master to kill his mother~!!"
