Chapter 477: Ma Teng's Determination
The white linbeast roared into the sky, and flew wildly, and the generals and soldiers around wanted to intercept it, but they either couldn't intercept it, or they were killed and retreated by Ma Chao's deployment. Ma Chao only cares about moving forward, the gun is like a dragon in turmoil, and wherever he rushes to kill, people are bound to overturn.
Seeing that Ma Chao was like a bamboo, breaking faster and faster, Xu Rong saw it clearly, and saw that his army was in chaos, and now there was no one to cover him, and in a panic, he was so frightened by Ma Chao that he fled.
"Xu Rong dog thief, you are still a man, just come to fight to the death with the master~~!!" Ma Chao saw that Xu Rong was about to escape, and hissed angrily. Xu Rong turned his horse and just fled not far, only to feel a murderous aura surging over, he couldn't help but look back, and saw the four silver dragons behind Ma Chao, or fangs and claws, or churning dragon bodies, or roaring into the sky, or crawling and undulating, extremely violent, frightened and frightened. So his army fled back together, and they were in chaos. Ma Chao was still reluctant to give up, and was eager to chase after him, but he didn't find that the white lin beast had already let out a few painful screams, but as if he was infected by his master's high-spirited fighting spirit, he still gritted his teeth and galloped.
"Second cousin, don't chase it~~!! The brothers can't hold on anymore~~!! At this time, Ma Dai suddenly shouted. Ma Chao was startled, and suddenly sat down with a loud scream from the white lin beast, and the horse's body suddenly fell, and Ma Chao was unexpected, and immediately fell off the horse. Ma Dai saw that his eyes were sick and hurriedly came to cover. After Ma Chao rolled around a few times, he was not in a hurry to chase and kill Xu Rong this time, with a panicked look, he pounced on the white lin beast, and saw the white lin beast foaming at the mouth, and was so frightened that he shouted urgently: "The white lin beast~~!" My good brother, you can't have anything to do~~!! ”
As if feeling Ma Chao's pity, the white linbeast that fell to the ground and ran out of body let out a deep low sound. When Ma Chao heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stroked the white lin beast, completely ignoring that he was on the battlefield. Fortunately, Ma Dai and Jiang Jian led their troops to arrive in a hurry to deter those enemy soldiers who wanted to come back and fight.
In addition, looking at the camp of the Ma family army, it was said that Xu Rongjun's troops, seeing that Xu Rong abandoned them again and led the troops to flee, all of them no longer believed Xu Rong's nonsense, and abandoned their weapons one after another, and some soldiers were more willing to lead the deployment to help the Ma family army extinguish the fire. Cheng Gongying then asked these prisoners to rescue the fires outside the camps on both sides, and also asked the self-army troops to rescue the baggage as much as possible.
Unconsciously, at dusk, the Majia camp was on fire at this time, and it had already become a sea of fire. Due to a lot of negligence, Ma Jiajun was finally able to rescue less than half of the military rations, and there were still some military supplies to prepare.
It can be said that Xu Rong's strategy was not perfect, but it was still successful. However, the Ma Jiajun lost a lot of troops, including three or four thousand people, and almost the entire army was exhausted, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight again for a while.
"Xu Rong will definitely take the opportunity to flee tonight. And our army doesn't have much baggage, once it goes deep into Sanfu, it will undoubtedly be sent to death. Xu Rong is aware of this, so he will definitely go. "At dusk, the cool breeze gusts, and the sand and stones go with the wind. Cheng Gongying sighed and said a little lonely.
"And our army is all exhausted and unable to fight again, even if they go to pursue, they will only throw themselves into the net." Ma Teng rode his horse slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, shook his head and sighed.
"Ma Gong, please also focus on the overall situation. If the ghost soldiers of Sanfu are really led by my lord, with his skills, if he wants to take Chang'an, it is just like finding things in his pocket. Cheng Gongying bowed to Ma Teng, his eyes were full of heat, and it seemed that he admired Ma Zongheng very much.
"You're right, I'm too impatient this time. Passing on my order, the whole army first withdrew from the cantonment several miles away, and rested as soon as possible. In addition, he ordered someone to send an order to Han Sui, teaching him to come to the rescue quickly, and at the same time asking him for another thousand loads of food as supplies! Ma Teng sank and quickly made a choice.
When Cheng Gongying heard this, he couldn't help but change color, and said: "Ma Gong, Han Sui is not credible, although he has called Ma Gong a brother and brother over the years, he has always had the heart to plot against Liangzhou. For example, today's water, Nan'an, and Fufeng are empty, but if Han Sui!! ”
"I treat Han Wen as an eldest brother, and my heart is sincere! How could Han Wenyue be treacherous, at this critical time, stab me and destroy my family business!? Halfway through Cheng Gongying's words, Ma Teng interrupted quickly. Cheng Gongying was obedient, and couldn't help but be frightened, lest Ma Teng believe in Han Sui too much, and hurriedly said: "Ma Gong's so-called heart to harm people must not have, and the heart of preventing people must be dispensable!" The stakes are high, and I think we need to be cautious! ”
"Cheng Gongying, do you dare to disobey me~!?" Ma Teng was obedient and angry, glared angrily, and shouted. When Cheng Gongying heard this, his face changed continuously, but the matter was serious, in order to keep the Ma family's family business, Cheng Gongying still had the courage to speak. Suddenly, Jiang Jian looked ecstatic, galloped over, followed by a few scouts who were dusty, and when he saw Ma Teng and Cheng Gongying, he immediately whispered with excitement: "Ma Gong, military advisor!" There is a great news coming! ”
Ma Teng and Cheng Gongying couldn't help but change color. After Jiang Jian said something quickly, Ma Teng instantly became ecstatic, and laughed loudly: "Stinky boy, stinky boy~!! I knew that your life as a demon king of the bastard world was very hard, and it was impossible for him to die so early~~!! I know that you stinky boy is cheating~~!! ”
Ma Teng said and spoke, and couldn't help but burst into tears, this suddenly laughed and cried, and the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but be curious when they saw it.
Although Cheng Gongying was calm, his eyes also concealed excitement, and he said with a smile: "The lord's death fraud has deceived everyone in the world." In this way, the destruction of the Dong family's foundation is imminent, and the rise of the Ma family in the future will be unstoppable~! ”
That night, Ma Chao, Jiang Jian and Ma Dai were summoned by Ma Teng. Ma Chao was just in a big battle, physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, the situation of the white linbeast was good, but he was out of strength, and he would be able to recover in a few days.
And today, Ma Chaobiao was brave, although he made a reckless mistake, but in the end he made up for it and repelled Xu Rong. However, Ma Teng has always been strict with him, and Ma Chao knows that his father may not let him go lightly this time, and he has been prepared to be severely punished before coming.
"Rebel~! Don't kneel down for me yet!! Sure enough, when Ma Teng saw Ma Chao rushing in, he immediately shouted coldly.
"The child did not listen, and rashly attacked, trapping our army in danger, the crime is unforgivable, and he is willing to be punished!" Ma Chao didn't dare to be disobedient, and quickly knelt down on his knees to confess. Ma Dai and Jiang Jian also knelt down urgently, and while confessing their guilt, they also pleaded with Ma Chao.
The veterans in the tent also loved Ma Chao, and hurriedly knelt down to plead for mercy. Seeing this, Ma Teng slapped the case violently, and said coldly: "The reason why this rebel dares to be so lawless is because of all kinds of favoritism, if you don't punish him heavily, this son will inevitably cause you to break your head in the future and face a catastrophe~!! ”
Everyone saw Ma Teng's angry appearance, but they were even more afraid, everyone was in a hurry to intercede, and some veterans were even willing to bear the punishment for Ma Chao. Ma Teng was deliberately embarrassed and silent, and when everyone saw this, they gradually shut up and looked at Ma Teng anxiously. At this time, Ma Teng secretly turned his head and looked at Cheng Gongying secretly, so he shouted to Ma Chao: "Rebel, for the sake of you daring to kill the enemy desperately today, you have not lost the face of my Ma family, and for the sake of everyone's intercession, I will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Everyone listened to the order, Ma Chao despised military discipline and rashly sent troops, and I immediately stripped him of his position as a lieutenant, demoted him to a horse archer, and beat him with fifty military staffs. Jiang Jian and Ma Dai failed to supervise and failed to stop them, so they were demoted to horse archers and beaten with thirty military staffs. But now when the army needs to employ people, the punishment of the military staff, and remember first, when the war is over, I will punish it together. I ordered Er and the other three to immediately lead a thousand elites, as well as a dry of wounded soldiers, and after resting for the night, they will lead the troops back to Fufeng tomorrow, and there must be no mistake! ”
"Daddy!! The front line needs me to charge, and to withdraw me at this time will undoubtedly cut off my own arm!! The child has already realized his mistake, and he asks his father to take back his life!! When Ma Chao heard this, his color suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently.
"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more!!" Ma Teng shouted unquestioningly. Ma was in a hurry, bowed his head and bowed, while admitting his mistake, and said that if Ma Teng refused to take back his fate, he would kneel here. Seeing this, Ma Teng's anger was even greater, and he was about to attack again, and the generals hurriedly excused him, and Cheng Gongying urgently ordered Jiang Jian and Ma Dai to drag Ma Chao out. Ma Chao was very powerful, Jiang Jian and Ma Dai couldn't get out, and then a few burly men came before they dragged Ma Chao out of the tent. Ma Chao was unwilling, and kept roaring, but after shouting for a while, he suddenly fainted. It turned out that Ma Chao had been fighting for a day, and he had already exhausted his body, and he had never endured it with a tenacious will, but now he was transferred back to the rear by Ma Teng, and his heart was too excited, and he finally fainted.
The next day, Xu Rong really withdrew all the soldiers and horses overnight, as Cheng Gongying expected. Ma Teng hurriedly came to Cheng Gongying to discuss. Cheng Gongying rushed over with a heavy face, saw Ma Teng, and persuaded him: "Ma Gong, the lord has repeatedly ordered in the letter, don't underestimate Han Sui, when the whole army retreats, just in case." As for the matter of the three auxiliaries, it is handed over to the lord, and Ma Gongda does not need to rush to complete the matter. But Ma Gong only transferred the second prince and thousands of soldiers and horses back at the moment, I am afraid that if Han Sui comes to attack, he will not be able to resist with these soldiers and horses. ”
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it. Not to mention whether the Han Wenyue dares to come and offend, but it is really coming, the national affairs are ahead, and I, as a courtier of the Han family, should take it seriously! Ma Teng was obedient and shouted with unquestionable glare.
"Eh, it seems that Ma Gong still doesn't want to believe that Han Sui will turn against him. If it weren't for the lord's own letter of persuasion, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be transferred back to the second son just in case. In addition, Ma Gong's loyalty to the Han family seems to be far beyond my imagination and that of the lord! Cheng Gongying was obedient, secretly slandering in his heart, for some reason, he suddenly had a hint of foreboding, and soon felt that he must be too careful, and then said with a shock.
