And all the soldiers in the tent couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at Niu Fu one after another. I don't know how long it took, Niu Fu's eyes suddenly changed, they became brighter, he seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden, and he also made up his mind, and said: "Zhang Liao in Feng Yi is only 2,000 cavalry, plus Pang De's 3,000 soldiers, it is only 5,000. And now in the area of Sanfu Chang'an, nearly 200,000 heavy troops have been concentrated, even if this Zhang and Pang have great skills, they can't make much of a storm, or their attack on Feng Yi will shock the situation in Chang'an, but the Taishi's eloquence is strategic, and it won't take long to drive this 5,000 rats out of Feng Yi.

The Ma family is extremely treacherous, I'm afraid it was a strategy to cut troops from the beginning, otherwise how could they obtain Anyi, which was originally heavily guarded by less than 2,000 troops! If we rush to Feng Yi now, he can rest easy and sit in Hedong!

Pass my order, immediately look at Anyi to come back to help, along the road to clean up the remnants of the army, but when you arrive in Anyi, you will fight with the thieves, I want to recapture Anyi before it gets dark tomorrow!! ”

As soon as Niu Fu said this, those Xiliang generals fought their spirits one after another, after all, these Xiliang generals are all arrogant, as long as there is a commander with prestige to lead and arouse their fighting spirit, they dare to fight hard!

Therefore, Niu Fu's subordinates will immediately prepare and deploy, and set off from Anyi as soon as possible. Niu Fu also ordered several generals to lead troops, pack up the remnants along the road, and follow behind the army.

That night, in the city of Anyi, scouts repeatedly came to report, saying that the Niu auxiliary army was hurrying in the starry night, constantly approaching Anyi, and many remnants were gathered along the road, all shouting to kill, declaring revenge and hatred, and the momentum was huge. The soldiers and horses that came first in the front had already begun to cut down trees on a large scale, fearing that they were preparing to storm Anyi.

The urgent report made Wei Zhongdao and the nephew Cai Lian, who now manages the entire Cai family, and the nephew of the great Confucian Cai Yong changed color again and again, and his heart became more and more flustered and impatient. However, Ma Zongheng and Gao Yan's tables are very different from these two. The more he listened, the happier he became, with a smile on his face. As for Gao Ran, he clasped his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and rested his mind, unmoved.

"General Ma, Niu Fu led the troops to rush in the starry night, and ordered the front people and horses to cut down trees, I am afraid that they are going to attack Anyi, and now Anyi City plus Wei and Cai, the available troops are only about three or four thousand, although there are many righteous people in the city, and they are also willing to be recruited by the general, but after all, they are all rabble. But if Niu Fu is about to lead his troops to attack, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it! Cai Xiang finally couldn't help it and said hurriedly. When Wei Zhongdao heard this, he was also shocked, and said in a condensed voice: "What Brother Cai said is very true, General Ma is brave and invincible, rather than sit and wait to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack!" Zhong Dao thought that it was better for General Ma to lead his troops out of the city to attack the thieves again, and he would be able to kill him by surprise! ”

Ma Zongheng listened, but he smiled and asked, "I don't know what the two brothers think, what do you think of Niu Fu?" ”

When Cai Xiang heard this, his brows furrowed, and after thinking about it, he first replied: "I can't see a reckless man!" ”

Wei Zhongdao shook his head, and then replied: "No, if this person is really a reckless man, I'm afraid he would have already started a killing spree in Hedong to eliminate dissidents." I think this man is careless, and I have heard in the past that this man is good at strategy, and that his own troops rarely fail! ”

"Yes, too! Niu Fu is simple-minded, but he can concentrate on the war, and if he wants to hide from him, it is impossible if he doesn't work hard. So I think he was either prepared for it right now, or even had an ambush outside the city. "The horse is leisurely and leisurely, although the Niu Fu recorded in history, as Cai Xiang said, is a brave and unscrupulous horseman. But Ma Zongheng didn't think so, but felt that none of the characters that could be recorded in the history books were easy to deal with. Among them, Ma Zongheng was most impressed by his sworn enemy Lu Bu.

In the Three Kingdoms era, when it comes to courage and strategy, I am afraid that many people will think of Lu Bu first. Of course, this is because Lu Bu is the most famous among those brave and unscrupulous warriors.

But Ma Zongheng knew that Lu Bu would rebel, but he still fell in love with him, and was almost so harmed by him that there was no place to turn over.

That profound lesson has always been remembered in Ma Zongheng's heart, and since then, he will never underestimate the so-called "brave and unscrupulous" reckless man in history.

Admittedly, history cannot be trusted.

When Cai Xiang heard this, his face changed, but he saw that the horse's eyes were shining, and he dared to attack Anyi with three hundred horses, and it was impossible to be afraid of Niu Fu. Cai Xiang thought for a while and said, "Then I don't know if the general has another plan?" ”

"Don't be impatient, the two brothers might as well go back and rest in peace first, and after tomorrow, Anyi will be as stable as a rock!" Ma Zongheng said with a smile. Cai Xiang didn't know where his confidence came from, and was about to ask again, Wei Zhongdao suddenly stretched out his hand to grab him, then got up and bowed his hand and said: "Brother Cai and I have no intention of interfering in the general's decision-making, but the family business is based here, just in case, just ask a few more words." Of course, no matter what, as long as General Ma opens his mouth, the Wei and Cai families are duty-bound! ”

"Good!" Ma Zongheng smiled and nodded. Wei Zhongdao and Cai Xiang then bowed and came out. Not long after the two left, Gao Ran suddenly opened his eyes and said: "This young master of the Wei family is not simple, he is low-key and polite, even in front of the lord and you, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, it seems that people and animals are harmless, but last night he made this Guo Fan and those thieves miserable!" Now in Anyi City, the people talk more about it, but it is his Wei Zhongdao name! ”

"Hehe, you're too careful. Without my horse to attack Anyi, how could he Wei Zhongdao have such great achievements. And Wei Zhongdao is a loyal and righteous person. For Gao Ran's reminder, Ma Zongheng laughed at it. Gao Ran listened and nodded silently, he knew very well that his lord could make a name for himself in this chaotic world of cannibalism, in addition to his courage of ghosts and gods and his wisdom and strategy, more importantly, he saw people very accurately!

However, it is said that on the second day after Ma Zongheng captured Anyi City, Niu Fu, the commander of the Xiliang Army, led nearly 12,000 troops to kill him with overwhelming momentum.

As soon as the sun rose, the outside of the West Gate City was already full of troops of the Xiliang Army. The deployment of all departments was in accordance with Niu Fu's order, and the formation was set up in an orderly manner.

Ma Zongheng watched from the city, and saw that the Xiliang soldiers were under the command of Niu Fu, not only did they not have low morale because of the repeated changes in recent days, but they had a high fighting spirit, and they couldn't help but admire, and sighed: "Dong Jackal Tiger has today's general trend, it is no coincidence, it seems that he is also very good at employing people." His son-in-law Niu Fu is anything but ordinary! ”

At the same time, Niu Fu heard that the scout was coming, and Ma Zongheng's figure appeared in the city, and he also patted the horse to come to visit, and after seeing Ma Zongheng, the bull-like evil eyes glared, and secretly slandered: "The military advisor has long said that this son is extraordinary, I still didn't believe it at first, but his surprise attack on Anyi is enough to be recorded in history." In addition, he did not send troops to attack last night, I am afraid that he saw through my ambush outside the city, it can be seen that his wisdom is high, I am afraid that he is not under the Taishi, such a character should be removed earlier, so as not to stay in the future! ”

Niu Fu was just thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a loud cheer in the city.

"Niu Dadu~! The child was lucky, and now Hedong is in my pocket. Why should Governor Niu continue to entangle with me here, but he is not afraid that Feng Yi will be attacked and affect the relocation of the capital of Taishi Dong!? ”

When Niu Fu heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and when he saw Ma Zongheng's face full of smiles, he said leisurely, but he was even more jealous, and shouted coldly: "Ma family, you are so daring, you dare to attack my Anyi city with only three hundred cavalry, let me and my subordinates become the laughing stock of the world, today I swear to take Anyi, take your dog's life!" ”

"Swear to take Anyi, take your dog's life!" "Swear to take Anyi, take your dog's life!" "Swear to take Anyi, take your dog's life!"

As soon as Niu Fu's voice fell, more than 12,000 soldiers in the rear suddenly roared inexhaustibly, and they were full of resentment, and it seemed that they all wanted to fight to the death and fight to the end.

In this regard, Ma Zongheng still smiled at him, and his deputy general Gao Ran was indifferent. Wei Zhongdao and Cai Xiang were both frightened, and they both wanted to pretend to be determined, but they still showed a lot of fear.

"Right now, the morale of our army is high, and we should break it in one fell swoop!" Niu Fu's eyes narrowed, and he felt the morale behind him that was like a landslide, and he was shocked, raised the giant axe in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The shield soldiers in the front obey the order, raise the shield and press it!" ”

Niu Fu shouted, and the shield soldiers in the front row behind him immediately hissed and shouted, and each raised his shield in his hand and rushed forward.

"The crossbowmen obey the order, and look at the wings to spread out, and follow closely!!" Niu Fu's face sank, and his eyes looked at the horse on Anyi City, as if he wanted to find a hint of panic in his bright smile.

And as Niu Fu gave another command, the crossbowman immediately watched his wings spread out, pressing against the barrier formed by the shieldman.

"General, the anti-thief offensive is approaching, I'm still waiting for Mo to sit and wait for death!?" Seeing this, Cai Xiang hurriedly asked Ma Zongheng.

Ma Zongheng threw a look at Gao Ran, Gao Ran nodded knowingly, and immediately shouted: "Prepare the shield hand, raise the shield into a wall, and guard the city!" ”

As soon as the sound of Gao Ran's order fell, the shield bearers who had been waiting for the order rushed to the city wall with their shields. Ma Zongheng Xiangwei and Cai said with a smile: "The sword and arrow have no eyes, I will take the two of them to the enemy building to rest first, and hand it over to Boyang here." ”

After that, Ma Zongheng turned around without looking back and looked at the enemy building and hurried away, Wei and Cai both looked shocked and looked at each other, but then thought of Ma Zongheng's calm appearance, and couldn't help but calm down a little.

"Ma family, you are despising me!?" Seeing this, Niu Fu suddenly showed a hideous look, and anger and hatred surged in his heart.

"Hurry up and prepare the siege team, I have to break this Anyi City today!!" Ushisuke's eyes widened, and he roared in a desperate voice.

As a result, the soldiers and horses of all departments fought one after another. When the shield soldiers rushed to the city, they immediately built a solid shield wall with their shields, and a group of crossbowmen followed closely behind, and as the soldiers of each team shouted orders, arrows rained down and flew to the city one by one. Seeing this, Gao Ran was not in a hurry, and under his continuous orders, one shield wall after another on the city also rose, blocking the incoming arrows, making a burst of 'bang' sounds.
