Chapter Seventy-Two: Death in a Nest

Ma Tie doesn't feel that he is very bad, he feels that his command is no different from Ma Chao's command, he has been with Ma Chao for some days, how Ma Chao commands the troops on weekdays, how he commands the troops, and even many times, even his tone and demeanor are imitating Ma Chao, so he doesn't think that his command at the moment will be much worse than Ma Chao.

It's just that Ma Tie ignored a problem, Ma Chao went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and now although he is only in his early twenties, he has actually had a twelve-year career in the army, and his prestige in the army is enough, Ma Tie is Ma Chao's younger brother, and he is also the temporary commander appointed by Ma Chao, yes, but some tones Ma Chao uses, everyone is convinced, and there will be no resistance, but Ma Tie can't.

Moreover, the courage honed by more than ten years of battlefield cannot be imitated.

In the past, Ma Chao would also talk to Ma Tie about how to judge the situation, but at this moment, when Ma Tie sat in the position of the main general to distinguish these, all he saw was that the black crowd was constantly impacting the city wall, climbing up the siege ladder like ants, and then being pushed down, some of them successfully rushed to the city wall, wielding knives to fight with the enemy, and blood flowed down the female wall, some of the enemies and some of their own.

Ma Tie couldn't judge whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage for a while, Han Sui did not immediately lure the enemy into the city, this kind of thing is very dangerous, if he is not careful, the fraud will become a real defeat, so he must be fully prepared, Ma Tie this day, he was ignorant to finish a battle, until the deputy general reminded him that it was too late, and it was time for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, Ma Tie ordered the withdrawal of the army.

When the number of people was counted, it was found that in such a fierce battle, the casualties were only two thousand, which seemed to be less than yesterday, as for how many enemies were killed, Ma Tie didn't know, and the generals around him didn't pay attention to it.

In short, this day's solo leader made Ma Tie feel a little confused, he didn't know whether he was fighting a good or bad battle, and if he asked others, it was impossible for these generals to tell him directly that you fought badly.

At the same time, on the other side, it was a different scene in Zhiyang.

Ma Chao was slightly relieved after making sure that Ma Teng had no worries about his life, but he was set up with a spleen and needed to be cultivated, Ma Teng's main force was taken by Ma Chao to attack Jincheng, Ma Teng's team of men and horses was only 5,000 people, after yesterday's battle with Cheng Yin, some were lost, and there are still more than 4,000 people.

Although Cheng Yin was repelled by Ma Teng yesterday, he remembered that his arrow injured Ma Teng, and it was not very clear how he was injured, but seeing that Ma Teng did not send troops today, he knew that the injury was not light, and he led the army out of the city at noon, wanting to take advantage of the weakness.

"What a Cheng Yin!" After Ma Chao got the report from his subordinates, he suddenly got up and said to the generals: "I haven't gone to settle accounts with him, but I dare to send it to the door myself, order all the soldiers and horses, and I will teach him to be a man!" ”

"Whoa!" Although Ma Teng was injured by an arrow, Ma Chao's prestige in the army is now faintly no less than Ma Teng.

Outside the Ma family army camp, Cheng Yin was thinking about how to break through this camp, but suddenly saw the Ma family army camp open the door, and the black pressure of the soldiers poured out, for the first general to wear a bright moon helmet, wearing a beast face swallowing gold armor, holding a long spear, sitting down is a snow-white Dawan good horse, seeing Cheng Yin, riding out of the horse, shouted loudly: "Cheng Yin dog thief, you are so brave, if you let you go back alive today, this will be your surname!" ”

The thunderous roar made Cheng Yin's body tremble, although he was far away, Ma Chao's angry voice still exploded in his ears, Ma Chao's reputation in Xiliang was like Lu Bu in the Central Plains, no matter whether it was good or notorious, it was the existence of making the enemy general lose his fighting spirit when he heard the name on the battlefield.

Originally, he wanted to come out to pick up the bargain, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to suddenly appear here, Cheng Yin now couldn't think about why Ma Chao was here, so he instinctively turned the horse's head and withdrew to the city.

It's just that Ma Chao is willing to let him, if he lets Cheng Yin go back, wouldn't he have to change his name to Cheng Chao?

With a wave of the spear in his hand, Ma Chao said sharply: "Kill!" ”

"Kill~"

Three thousand soldiers, when they fought with Cheng Yin's soldiers and horses yesterday, they were almost defeated by Cheng Yin because of the gap in equipment, but at this moment, under the leadership of Ma Chao, one by one the soldiers who had already lost their morale pounced with Ma Chao like a hungry wolf.

Cheng Yin understood that something was wrong after subconsciously turning around, he had many people and opponents, was well-equipped, and had just won a battle yesterday, and his morale was ......

"Run~"

Thinking about the mess in his mind, when he turned around, he saw that Ma Chao was approaching, Cheng Yin didn't say a word, exhaled, and rode the horse away, as for the thoughts that had just flashed in his mind, when he was facing Ma Chao's murderous gaze, he had already been thrown to Java.

"Want to go?" Ma Chao overtook his left hand, took off a throwing gun from the horse's back, and threw it at Cheng Yin's shaking hand.

Cheng Yin heard the sound of breaking through the air, and he didn't think about it, so he lay directly on the horse's back.

"Sigh Rule~"

The spear that broke through the air penetrated the neck of the war horse, the war horse's hooves were weak, and it was planted forward, Cheng Yin hurriedly pressed the horse's back, his body rose into the air, and was hit by the guards who rode the horse from behind, and fell into the crowd, letting out a few screams, and there was no sound.

Ma Chao: "......"

After all, he was also a general under Han Sui, and he never thought that he would be trampled to death by his own army in such a sloppy manner.

As soon as the main general died, how could the army under his subordinates still have morale at all, Ma Chao took the opportunity to rush up with his soldiers and horses, like a sharp arrow tearing a hole in the back of the enemy army, a fierce battle, the soldiers who went out of the city died, and the surrender fell, Cheng Yin's deputy general saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly closed the city gate, and ordered people to release arrows outside the city, blocking Ma Chao and the rout army outside the city.

Seeing that the retreat was cut off, and Ma Chao couldn't be beaten, many of the defeated soldiers directly chose to surrender.

Ma Chao led the army to circle a few laps outside the city, and after seeing that there was really no opportunity to take advantage of it, he took the men and horses to gather the surrendered army and retreated to the camp, the battle in Zhiyang was over, Ma Chao was worried about the Jincheng battle situation, and after handing over the army to Ma Teng's deputy general, he led the guards to Jincheng.

On the side of Jincheng, although he was a little ignorant after a day of fierce fighting, but judging by the results, Ma Tie felt that he had fought well, and early the next morning, he once again opened the formation and continued to launch a fierce attack on Jincheng.

This time, Ma Tie could clearly feel that his control over the army was much stronger, and that kind of growth could be felt, and his confidence couldn't help but be even stronger.

And he could vaguely feel that the resistance of the defenders in the city was weakening, he remembered that Ma Chao said that he could break through the city in two or three days, and his battle was relatively smooth, and the casualties were much less than that of his brother, maybe today is the time to break the city.

After having this premonition, Ma Tie began to be restless, and personally came to the front line to command the soldiers and horses, he found that the city gate seemed to be loosened a lot, and his heart was overjoyed, while ordering people to continue to strengthen the offensive, but secretly sent another siege vehicle to attack the city gate.

"This Ma family's war today is quite disciplined." On the city tower, Han Sui quickly captured Ma Tie's intentions, and many times this battle is not only about troops, but also about being able to deceive the other party.

Ma Tie's method is right, but in the eyes of an old fritter like Han Sui, the purpose is too clear, and he can't deceive this kind of old fox at all.

"Almost, lure him in, go prepare!" Han Sui looked at the enemy's formation and felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately confronted Yan Xingdao.

"Whoa!" Yan Xing agreed, turned around and left.

The battle was still fierce, with the addition of the second rushing car, the shaking of the city gate became more and more severe, and the defenders at the head of the city seemed to have discovered the intention of this side in hindsight, and the arrows shooting here were a lot more dense, Ma Tie hurriedly commanded the shield men to protect the rushing car and continue to intensify the attack.

"Boom~"

With a muffled thud, the gates were finally slammed open with an overwhelming roar.

Ma Tie was overjoyed when he saw this, turned over on his horse, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the city is broken today, follow me to kill it!" ”

"Childe can't!" Seeing this, the faces of several lieutenant generals changed greatly, and they hurriedly wanted to call Ma Tie, but Ma Tie led the troops for the first time, and saw that the great achievement was in front of him, and he had already been confused by this achievement, coupled with the noisy battlefield, the words of several generals could not be heard, and the excited horses rushed forward, and a large number of soldiers and horses poured in from the city gate.

"Falling rocks!"

Seeing Ma Tie entering the city, several generals wanted to catch up, on the city tower, Han Sui saw it clearly, how could he let them in, and immediately shouted an order, and the rolling stones that had been prepared fell with the rope of the soldiers at the head of the city, blocking the entry of the Ma family army outside the city.

At the same time, Ma Tie who entered the city did not have time to carry out the next step, and saw that there were crossbowmen in all directions, just after the city gate hole, the overwhelming arrow clusters fell, Ma Tie hurriedly waved his gun to block, he was superb in martial arts, a spear was picked and collapsed, and the desperate guards around him could be blocked for a while, but the soldiers who came in with him did not have this ability, and they fell in pieces.

At this moment, Ma Tie also noticed that something was wrong, and wanted to withdraw from the city gate, but found that the city gate had been sealed by the falling stones thrown down from the city wall, and he couldn't rush out for a while.

"Quick, move the rockfall." Ma Tie retreated to the city gate cave with more than a dozen remnants of soldiers, and beckoned the soldiers to move away from the falling rocks.

"The thief of the Ma family, since you are here, do you still want to leave alive?" With a rough laugh, Yan Xing carried a big knife and slashed towards this side, and the surrounding arrow clusters had stopped shooting.

Seeing Yan Xing, Ma Tie gritted his teeth, turned over and got on the horse, roared a tiger, and rushed towards Yan Xing.

"Look for death!" A cold glint flashed in Yan Xing's eyes, and the war horse was a little faster.

At the same time, outside Jincheng, after Ma Chao defeated Cheng Yin, he rushed back non-stop, and as soon as he arrived in the army, he heard that Ma Tie was trapped in the city, and couldn't help but be furious: "What did you say!?" ”
