Chapter 633: Overnight Success
"Let's put on fire!"
As soon as the torch was lit, someone immediately exclaimed: "General, we have caught a big fish, this is Zhou Tai, the general of the Wu army!" ”
Ma Zhong was also taken aback by the shouting of his subordinates, and hurriedly took a closer look, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Tai, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly became ecstatic: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that my Ma Zhong would also have a bright future!" Hahaha! ”
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general! The general's knighthood and promotion are just around the corner! ”
These little soldiers, don't talk about other skills, but the kung fu of patting the sycophants is still good, and a few words from a circle of people immediately made Ma Zhong fluttering.
Ma Zhong waved his hand: "Come on, give it to me, Zhou Tai is tied, and I will be escorted back to ask General Gan for credit!" ”
"No!"
"Chirp~~~~"
With a whistle, hundreds of people immediately stood up in the reeds, gathered one after another, escorted the prisoners in their hands and congratulated Ma Zhong at the same time.
"Go, go back, catch a Zhou Tai, that's enough!"
The discipline of the Chu army is still good, and with an order, the men and horses who were still chaotic just now suddenly became orderly, and each stood in their respective positions, while the prisoners walked behind.
Just after four or five miles of progress towards the mouth of the river, the people and horses in front immediately stopped, and Ma Zhong hurriedly asked, "What happened ahead?" ”
A sergeant hurriedly ran over and said softly: "General, a group of Wu soldiers have been found by the river in front, about three or four hundred people!" ”
"Three or four hundred? This is a deserter from the Wu army? Ma Zhong frowned slightly, and then said: "Such a few people, just kill them, the head is a military merit, and going back is also the merit of everyone, and there are many rewards." Notify everyone and prepare for battle! ”
The captives were escorted through a barren grass and tied together, leaving only a few wounded men to guard nearby, while the others, each armed with their own weapons, quietly approached the riverside two miles ahead.
Ma Zhong also quietly took a few people close to the river and personally investigated.
Picking up the wild grass and looking at the Wu soldiers not far away, Ma Zhong suddenly had a strange idea, but he dared to be 100% sure that these Wu soldiers were definitely not deserters from the war just now, not to mention the others, even the military uniforms on these people were also extremely clean, and there was no embarrassment after the war at all. The only thing that seemed to him to be possible was that these people seemed to be protecting someone, guarding five or six improvised tents in the middle.
"Don't be a big person, isn't it true that my Ma Zhong hasn't been posted for decades, and I became famous in one fell swoop tonight?" This idea frightened Ma Zhong himself, it was really a bit arrogant, how easy it was to become famous?
After watching it for a long time, Ma Zhong also calmed down, no matter what he became famous or not, he would talk about it later. When it's over, everything will be understood.
After thinking about it, Ma Zhong quietly retreated and divided the men and horses in his hands into three teams, one team and two teams surrounded and attacked, and one team went to ambush in the nearby grass to prevent fish from slipping through the net.
I don't know why, Ma Zhong just likes this kind of practice of waiting for rabbits in the shadows, even if there are not many people now, he has to arrange for twenty or thirty people to go out to ambush.
After leading people to surround the Wu soldiers by the river again, Ma Zhong gave an order: "Kill!" ”
In an instant, the sound of killing suddenly broke out on this quiet riverside, and the Wu army was also shocked, and hurriedly stood up to defend, but they were directly greeted by a wave of extremely fast and fierce arrow rain.
"Ahh Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Wu Bing, who was hit by the arrow, roared to warn the others, but after just one or two sounds, he was annihilated by the rain of arrows again and fell directly to the ground.
In the chaos, there were sharp screams in those simple tents, not to mention the others, even Ma Zhong was a little confused, there were even female dependents among the Wu soldiers?
But in just a breath or two, the Chu soldiers launched another onslaught, and rushed to the tent with their weapons in hand.
Under the siege, although the Wu soldiers suffered heavy losses, the remaining people were also aroused to fierceness, and they resisted regardless of life and death.
"Kill! Don't let anyone go! Ma Zhong saw that there were twenty or thirty people guarding a few female dependents and a pair of stretchers and fleeing to the side in the barren grass, but these people did not care about life and death, but they actually had the intention of dying together, and the troops who surrounded it were really rushed open for a while, and the remaining ten or so people rushed out of the encirclement like this.
"Bastard!" Ma Zhong scolded, but those people had already fled, so he could only deal with the remaining hundred or so people first.
After a stick of incense, the battle ended, Wu Bing was killed and wounded, almost no one lived, Ma Zhong was also ashamed, these people were even more fierce than their own people, obviously at a disadvantage, and even let their men be killed and injured at least twenty or thirty people.
However, he doesn't care about these losses, and people will naturally die in battle, and those who die can only be said to be bad luck.
Leaving some people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest immediately pursued in the direction where the Wu soldiers fled, Ma Zhong felt that those female dependents who fled were definitely extremely important figures in the Wu army.
chased out four or five miles in a row, Ma Zhong was also a little confused, and did not find the slightest trace, except for four or five injured Wu soldiers who were killed in a sneak attack, there was no trace of the rest of the people, and he had no choice but to return.
After everyone finished cleaning up the battlefield, Ma Zhong glanced at the wild grass in the distance with a slightly strange look, and silently led people away.
After a stick of incense, there was a place in the grass that slowly shook, and then a few people stood up.
After a little investigation around, someone shouted softly: "Chu Bing is gone, madam, go quickly!" ”
But at this moment, in another barren grass not far away, Ma Zhong got up coldly: "Sure enough, the soldiers are not tired of cheating!" ”
"You don't know where you're going?"
It doesn't matter what happened, almost a few Wu soldiers were paralyzed to the ground in fright, obviously seeing that Chu Bing had left, how could there be people.
"Kill!"
Ma Zhong sneered and rushed forward, there was no suspense in the battle, it was almost resolved between the treats, and it was three female dependents and a man on a stretcher who were surrounded by dozens of people.
At this moment, the people around Ma Zhong were the ones he had ambushed before, but he later quietly returned with three or five personal soldiers.
"I don't know, this lady is the family of which general, it's better to say it as soon as possible, it's good to have a sense of proportion, I didn't see that my brothers haven't opened meat for many days, it's not good in case of collision!" Seeing that several female dependents were all grim and didn't speak at all, Ma Zhong directly threatened. The surrounding sergeants also laughed at this cooperation, which was completely like a group of mountain bandits.
"Bastard, our wife is a daughter, how can she be insulted by you and other lowly people!" A female dependant scolded with a pale face, but her body was obviously trembling.
Ma Zhong smiled and said, "Then let's ask this lady to come out and speak!" ”
The woman in plain clothes in the middle finally stepped forward, and when she looked up, Ma Zhong was also instantly shocked, this is simply a peerless posture, and he suddenly concluded in his heart that this is definitely not an ordinary person's family.
"The concubine is Zhou Yu's wife Qiao, I heard that the king of Chu governs the army well, rarely disturbs the people wherever he goes, and rarely does anything evil that loses his conscience, presumably the army will not disobey the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, right?"
"This is the world-famous Little Joe?" Although Ma Zhong had a guess, he didn't expect the result to startle him.
However, after calming down, he immediately said: "Since we are the wife of Zhou Dudu, we will naturally treat each other with courtesy." But Madame should understand the situation now, don't be embarrassed, otherwise, these rough people below will be offended, but some can't afford it! ”
Xiao Qiao was also helpless, so he had to say: "Don't worry, general, as long as you can contain your sergeants and don't do anything excessive, the concubine will naturally not make it difficult for the general." This is General Quan Cong next to me, who is seriously injured, and I hope that the general will take care of one or two! ”
Ma Zhong arched his hand and said: "Madame, don't worry, you naturally know how to arrange it!" ”
Immediately, Ma Zhong waved his hand: "Come on, don't escort Mrs. to the big ship yet!" ”
Xiao Qiao sighed, could only obey, and walked forward under the escort of Ma Zhong and others.
Ma Zhong became famous, overnight, his name spread almost all over the army, even Gan Ning and Liu Ye were stunned for a long time when they heard it, captured the enemy generals Zhou Tai and Quan Cong, and even caught Zhou Yu's wife, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu's wife, who was famous all over the world, such a feat, who can match!
