Chapter 529: The Ghost Strikes Back (I)
Because Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tiebu combined, there were only 1,000 soldiers and horses, and they were invincible to the crazy pounce of Li Xu's army. Ma Dai hurriedly led the generals to escort Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to withdraw.
Thinking that he had been trapped by thousands of people for many days, he wasted a great opportunity. Li Xuan regretted it a lot, and he was very angry in his heart, but he put the overall situation first, gave up and went to chase and kill Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others, and rushed all the way to Fufeng.
The horse looked at it vertically and horizontally, his face sank, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and groaned for a while. At this time, Ma Chao walked in, saw that Ma Zongheng seemed to be thinking about things, and did not dare to disturb, and couldn't help but remember that when he was a child, his eldest brother suddenly opened his mind and began to learn the art of war frantically.
Just when Ma Chao recalled the past, a voice suddenly came.
"Meng Qi, you're here." When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Ma Zongheng looking at him with a bright smile.
"The younger brother is ignorant, disturbing the eldest brother's contemplation, and please don't blame the eldest brother." Ma Chao is busy. Ma Zongheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be restrained. You have done a good job in the past few days, I heard that you fought fiercely with Yan Xing that day, but you can still calm down at a critical time and act according to the strategy, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard to teach. ”
"In the past, the younger brother didn't know the height of the sky, relying on his own martial arts to despise the heroes of the world, but fortunately, the eldest brother's words made the younger brother wake up. I don't know if the eldest brother urgently summoned the younger brother over, what is the so-called matter? Ma Chao said at the end, his eyes lit up, his eyes were glowing, full of expectation.
Ma Zongheng also knew what his warlike brother was thinking, and said with a smile: "After these days of arrangement, I think this Yan Xing has taken the bait nine times out of ten." Tonight is the perfect time for you and my brother to take down this cunning beast in one fell swoop! ”
As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Ma Chao only felt that his blood was boiling, and in an instant, it seemed that he was inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
"The younger brother will follow the death force and never disappoint the high expectations of the eldest brother~!"
said that at the same time as Ma Zongheng and Ma Chao brothers were discussing, they were in Beigong Feng's tent. At this time, Ma Yunlu had regained his original innocence, and there was no panic and restlessness on his face, like a happy magpie, helping Beigong Feng pack up.
"Hehe, sister-in-law Beigong just now I pestered my eldest brother for a long time, although my eldest brother still refuses to sue me, but if I am correct, that Yan Xing will definitely attack my camp tonight. It is precisely because of this that the eldest brother, who loves his sister-in-law, will let his sister-in-law wait in a safe place first. Ma Yunlu said this. Beigong Feng couldn't help but change his complexion, and hurriedly cast a look at the bird slave. A finch slave with the physique of a strong man understood, and immediately went out viciously to control the wind.
"Little demon, don't talk too much, this is an important matter for the military, if you are heard talking in private, with your eldest brother's meticulous temperament, I'm afraid even you will be punished. Don't you hear, that dead ghost just wanted to talk to me in the first place, neglected the military discussion, and took the military staff in public! Beigong Feng hurriedly rushed to Ma Yunlu's side, pulled her over, looked serious, and said in a low voice.
"Hehe, I see. Beigong sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't say it! Ma Yunlu is also sensible, and he quickly agreed. Beigong Feng looked at her silently for a while, and found that she had recovered a lot, and while pleased, he stroked Ma Yunlu's head again, and while touching her soft hair, he comforted: "It turns out that your eldest brother is back, then this qiē catastrophe will end soon." The little demon doesn't have to sleep in the open anymore, child, you've been working hard these days. ”
Ma Yunlu listened, after all, he was still young, and his heart was full of grievances, so he hugged Beigong Feng and cried: "Woo~!" Beigong's sister-in-law is not the same, and you are still injured, it is all Yunlu's bad, if you had been able to allocate it well that day, you would not have been shot by the thief, and you will have a scar in the future, what can I do? ”
"Don't cry, don't cry. My poor boy, you did your best that day, or our army would have been routed. If you leave a scar, you will leave a scar, the custom in our Hu people, the scars left on the battlefield, are the testimony of heroes. Your sister-in-law Beigong has wanted it for a long time. ”
"But if the eldest brother dislikes it...?"
"How dare he!? Look at the old lady who doesn't kill him!! ”
"Hehe, Beigong's sister-in-law said a big thing, the news of the death of the eldest brother came that day, don't you still cry to death, you are willing to slaughter the eldest brother?"
"Oops! You horse demon dare to pretend to cry, but against you~!! ”
Half an hour later, it was getting dark. As soon as Ma Chao's front foot left, Cheng Gongying's back foot came.
"My lord, the second lady and the young lady have all gone into the chariot battle, and I have arranged for someone to guard the place where they are resting tonight. Moreover, that place is extremely hidden, Yan Xing's minions will definitely not be able to detect it! ”
"Excellent! Thank you for your hard work. Ma Zongheng listened to it, first bowed his head, and then cast a grateful look at Cheng Gongying.
"This is the duty of the subordinates." After Cheng Gongying smiled, his face immediately turned grim, and he said: "Lord, Yan Xing has become so cunning now, in a battle tonight, if you can't capture him, if you want to capture him again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!" I don't know if the lord is still determined to let the second son guard the white tiger's mouth? ”
When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but sink, he understood what Cheng Gongying meant. The White Tiger Mouth is the last level of Ma Zongheng's arrangement, if Yan Xing can't be caught there, after the angry Yan Xing escapes back to Fufeng City, he doesn't know what crazy moves he will make, once Wang Yi and other Ma family members are hurt or even killed, that one will probably be in vain! Therefore, Cheng Gongying once took the initiative to ask for help and lead ambush soldiers to guard the white tiger's mouth. But Ma Chao also had intentions, and Ma Zongheng was embarrassed and hesitated for a while.
Ma Zongheng has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he should be decisive, and he has a way of employing people, which is rare. Cheng Gong is both wise and brave, but in terms of martial arts alone, it is more than one level worse than Ma Chao. Yan Xing's martial arts are extraordinary, and if he wants to fight to the death, he may not be able to resist it with Cheng Gongying. But although Ma Chao is brave, he sometimes acts willfully, like an unstable timed bullet, if you want to say stable dìng, it is definitely better to choose Cheng Gongying.
It is not surprising that Ma Zongheng felt that the choice was difficult. However, after thinking about it again, he finally acted selfishly, and just now he officially handed over the task of Baihukou to Ma Chao.
"Yan Xing is a fierce person, if there is no martial arts general, it may be difficult to capture him. So I still gave this task to Meng Qi. Ma Zongheng said calmly, but a little guilt flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Gongying listened to it and smiled: "That's the case." Then I will wait here with the lord, the lord's martial arts cover the sky, but if I can capture this Yan Xing in one fell swoop, there is no need to worry about whether Yan Xing can escape from the mouth of the white tiger. ”
"Yan Xing is not what it used to be, a tiger who can make good use of wisdom and strategy, can defeat all beasts, and suppress the dragon even more. If he finds out about the scheme, he will definitely leave immediately. I'm not sure I'll be able to capture him in one fell swoop. And the white tiger's mouth, to be honest, I don't feel at ease. Therefore, I have a plan, to complete him, I am afraid that only you have both wisdom and courage. Ma Zongheng's eyes were impressive, Cheng Gongying couldn't help but look surprised, very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is willing to hear about it!" ”
Ma Zongheng then said a plan to Cheng Gongying, Cheng Gongying listened, his face changed, and he couldn't help but admire: "The strategy of the lord really makes his subordinates bow down!" ”
"You think highly of me, I'm just adding a little to your strategy." Ma Zongheng smiled, but he also knew that he was two pounds, and he was planning a whole plan, he didn't have the ability, but if he made some supplements, he could do it. In addition, with Guo Jia's assistance over the years, Ma Zongheng has also learned a lot by his side. A good courtier is like this, not only can he give advice, but he can also help his lord grow.
Suddenly, Ma Zongheng's mind flashed the figure of that person again, and he sighed secretly, and couldn't help but regret thinking in his heart that if he hadn't turned his face with that person at the beginning, with him assisting him left and right, I am afraid that there would not be the difficulties of the Ma family today. Even if there is, with his wisdom, he can solve it.
But he said that the allocation of horses had been decided, and all the men and horses listened to the order, and immediately went to arrange, and when they arrived at the location, they immediately seized the rest and recuperated to prepare for tonight's war!
So, at night, the fourth watch, the world was silent, everything was silent, and the lights in front of the Ma family military camp were sparse, as if the people in the camp had slept.
"Hmph, the second son of the Ma family has been rushing to fight for days, thinking that his troops have long been exhausted, and now they are sleeping like dead pigs!"
"That's right! Or the lord is smart, deliberately showing weakness and luring him to fight. The second son of the Ma family thought that his lord was invincible to him, and he came to fight every day regardless of the hard work of the soldiers. This day after day of victory, presumably the second son of the Ma family is very proud, and now in his dream, he is still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival of breaking my Fufeng City tomorrow!! “
But I saw a group of men and horses galloping first under the cover of night. The first two soldiers in front of them were defenseless in the Ma family camp, thinking that they were bound to win, and they couldn't help laughing at Ma Chaolai.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hooves, and soon a general caught up with him, and shouted in a low and stern tone: "Those two little beasts in front! Don't forget that the lord has an order, and before the surprise attack, it must not be publicized! Watch out for your head! ”
As soon as these words came out, the two soldiers subconsciously looked back first, and when they saw that it was a tooth keeper, they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed their mouths. The tooth keeper snorted coldly, and continued to supervise the army.
When he was young, in the dense forest on the left side of the camp, although there was no fire light, if you went in and looked, you could find that the surrounding area was densely packed with soldiers of Yan Marching. All the soldiers were in front to spy on the movement in the camp. On the other side, there was also a dense forest, but there were also countless Yan marching soldiers hidden in it.
And these warriors who sharpen their knives are waiting for one person's order to be issued, and they will officially launch a culling!
The murderous aura is gathering, and it is getting stronger and stronger.
Return to the forest on the left again.
"Lord, now that everything is in place, we are waiting for your order!" Yan Xing's lieutenant general, his face was excited, and he was a little bloodthirsty, after all, if there was no accident, after this battle, the Ma family would probably collapse from now on, and they would become the new masters of Fufeng!
In the darkness, Yan Xing's expression was indifferent, his eyes shining, and he wanted to know how his mortal enemy, Ma Xi, would resist stubbornly and try to turn the tide.
The reason why Yan Xing thought so was because although he didn't get the information, Yan Xing always had a strange feeling, that is, Ma Xi must be here.
