Finally, it came the third day that Cheng Gongying said. As soon as the sun rose, Zhang Qing was sent to investigate by several teams of light horsemen. Who knows, Ma Zongheng had already laid an ambush, and was divided into several other teams of Hu Che'er, Pang De, and Zhang Heng, but when they saw the thieves under Zhang Qing coming, they killed one after another, destroying hundreds of enemies and hundreds of good horses.

At noon, Zhang Qing saw that the light cavalry sent by him had not returned, and he was suspicious. Two hours later, almost at dusk, Zhang Qing suddenly woke up and realized that the scouts he had sent must have been ambushed by the enemy.

"Could it be that the Ma family's father and son deliberately want to close the news, and they will come to storm the city tonight!? But if that's the case, how can this little yellow sand city resist it!? It's all that Yuwen Changyou made a mistake, just in case, or order the army to prepare first!! Zhang Qing thought to himself, his face changed continuously, and he gave an order in a hurry.

As night fell, the troops in the city were looking forward to resting, but they heard the news of the withdrawal from Zhang Qing. Yuwen Changyou was shocked and was busy with Zhang Qing's question. Zhang Qing told his conjecture. Yuwen Changyou was obedient, and couldn't help but feel angry, and said hurriedly: "It is difficult to march at night, even if the enemy army occupies the advantage of the troops, but if the city is stormed at night, it is not only easy to accidentally injure the own army, but it is also difficult to dodge the arrows of our army." If the father and son of the Ma family really come to attack at night, then our army will only care about shooting arrows in the city!! ”

"This is about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, can you guarantee it!?" Zhang Qing swore by Yuwen Changyou when he heard what Yuwen Changyou said, and couldn't help but believe it a little more, and asked. Yuwen Changyou's face was shocked, he had studied diligently since he was a child, and his understanding of the art of war was not even less than that of those talented people from the world.

"Don't worry, the king! Changyou is willing to guarantee with his life!! As soon as Yuwen Changyou said this, Zhang Qing's heart stabilized slightly, and he bowed his head and said: "So I will believe you again!" ”

So, Zhang Qing ordered the army to wait for the night first. But the armies had already lost their will to fight, and they were eager to withdraw immediately, and when they heard the order, they all felt resentful about Zhang Qing's impermanence.

Gradually, at the beginning of the night, there was a dead silence outside the city, but there was a sense of crisis that was about to come.

Unconsciously, it was time for the second watch. Suddenly, the eastern, southern, and western gates outside the city were full of fire, and the sound of killing in the distance shook the sky. When the thieves in the city heard this, they were immediately in chaos, and regardless of the command of the soldiers, they fled to the north gate in a hurry. The city was in chaos, and the thieves and soldiers pushed each other, trampling on each other and killing countless people at one time.

When Zhang Qing learned of the riot in the city, he fled in a flock, and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and hurriedly fled outside the house with a group of guards. Suddenly, in the northeast corner of the city, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and before Zhang Qing could react, he suddenly saw several people and horses turning out of the streets and alleys.

"Where is Zhang Qing!? Don't hurry up and take your life~~!!? A roar erupted, and I saw Ma Zongheng holding the Dragon Yan Yanyue Knife in his hand and walking like flying towards Zhang Qing's crowd. Zhang Qing was so frightened that he turned away, but he didn't know that there was another chaotic fierce man, and he led the troops to kill. Suddenly, the two waves of men and horses were killed together, and Zhang Qing's guards were forced to fight, but how could they resist it, and the horses were as powerful as ghosts and gods. After a while, Ma Zongheng insisted on making a break in the crowd, and seeing Zhang Qing, who was supported by everyone, immediately roared, waved his knife like a rainbow, and pushed away the crowd. Zhang Qing saw the chaos, people flew and fell, Ma Zongheng raised a knife to kill, frightened his face changed drastically, and when he was in danger, he was also forced to be ruthless, and hurriedly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist to meet Ma Zongheng. The two fought several times, and Ma Zongheng's strength was terrifying, and he slashed sideways like a dragon swinging his tail, cutting Zhang Qing's whole person away. At this time, the chaotic fierce man was killed, and as soon as he squeezed the halberd in his hand, he was stabbed by Zhang Qing. As soon as Zhang Qing died, the surrounding thieves suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and they all gave up and knelt down, shouting surrender.

The chaotic man hurriedly cut off Zhang Qing's head, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, and Ma Zongheng had already taken a horse from a team of thieves who had just arrived.

"Lord, catch it~~!!" The chaotic man shouted, threw Zhang Qing's head, and the horse took it casually, and then rushed to the horse, shouting in his mouth: "Zhang Qing's head is here, don't you surrender quickly to save your life~~!! ”

Ma Zongheng's shouting shook the sky, and a group of soldiers immediately followed behind Ma Zongheng. The thieves who were fleeing for their lives heard that Zhang Qing had been killed, and they heard the sound of killing outside the city, so they didn't have time to think about it, so they abandoned and knelt down. Those thieves who escaped from the north gate, before they had time to rejoice, suddenly a soldier and horse killed, one of the leading soldiers, Hu Dahan, carrying a double hammer, suddenly burst into the army, the thieves were in chaos, was killed by surprise, with the soldiers embraced, they were scattered, and they knelt down and surrendered.

At the same time, outside the east gate, Yuwen Changyou led the troops to stand out, and heard the sound of killing at the north gate, and the soldiers under his command couldn't help but change color, and they all praised Yuwen Changyou for being like a god. It turned out that not long ago, most of the generals under Yuwen Changyou wanted to flee with everyone looking at the north gate. Yuwen Changyou felt that there would probably be an ambush at the north gate, so he chose to kill from the east gate.

"The east gate only hears the sound of killing, but does not see the enemy army, is it!!" However, at this time, Yuwen Changyou was even more surprised than the generals, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled.

Zhang Qing was dead, the thieves were chaotic and had no intention of fighting, and almost as soon as they heard that Zhang Qing had been killed, they surrendered one after another. Moreover, Hu Che'er received the order, and Jiang Yin, Zhang Heng and other generals intercepted the deserters at the north gate, and nearly five or six thousand thieves almost did not resist, and they were captured by Ma Zongheng's army of less than 2,000 people.

When the sun hung on the top tomorrow, a group of thieves would find that the sound of killing outside the city had stopped for a long time, but they went out of the north gate of the thousand enemy soldiers, and did not see the rest of the enemy soldiers into the city, only to know the plan, but it was too late, they had already been robbed of their weapons, rushed to a corner of the school field in the city, and they were surrounded by rows of guns with cold light.

"This Nell and other thieves are the first to be clear, this thief has done a lot of evil, and he is innocent of death, who wants to avenge him, I will accompany him to the end!!"

The horse rode in front of him and threw Zhang Qingxuelin's head on the ground. The thieves looked at the rolling head, but they were all silent.

At this time, Jiang Jian rushed over and reported: "Lord, except for the Qiang troops who fled from the north gate last night, all the thieves have been captured!" ”

"Good!!" When Ma Zongheng heard this, he nodded his head, his eyes showed a fierce light, and suddenly looked at those thieves, and he groaned for a while, but those thieves felt that life was like a year, and their bodies were stiff, lest Ma Zongheng gave an order, and the soldiers with guns around him would kill together.

"Forgive the virtue of a good life in the heavens, and you are waiting for death, or descending!?" Ma Zongheng's face was cold, and he raised his hand, as if as long as these thieves dared to shout no, they would order all these five or six thousand people to be killed.

These thieves will only deceive the good and fear the evil when they follow Zhang Qing on weekdays, but later there are more people and they have confidence, but the essence has not changed.

Ma Zongheng listened, his face was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "Pang De killed the thief Zhang Qing, you should be the first merit, I will send you as the infantry Qu Du, select 2,000 soldiers from these surrendered troops, and deploy them for you!" When Pang De heard this, his heart was shocked, his eyes widened sharply, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The subordinates receive the order, and they will never live up to the feelings of the lord!" ”

At the beginning, Pang De bravely captured the city gate, which had proved his loyalty, and Ma Zongheng knew that he was powerful, and he had the intention to reuse, but he was afraid that the soldiers in the army would think that he was young and dissatisfied.

Immediately, Hu Che'er, Jiang Yin, Zhang Heng and other generals were rewarded one by one, and Ma Zongheng distributed the surrendered troops to everyone, so that the generals could transfer talented people in their army, which was considered to have completed the disposal of the surrendered troops.

Subsequently, Cheng Gongying and Beigong Feng led more than 1,000 soldiers into the city. Ma Zongheng personally led the generals to greet him, and the people in the city cheered.

It turned out that the movements in the past few days and nights were all Cheng Gongying's strategy. Cheng Gongying taught all the people to prepare in the mountains, rest during the day, and raise torches at night, so that the thieves in the city thought that reinforcements were coming, and they were in chaos. Last night, Cheng Gongying divided the thousands of soldiers into several parts, respectively at the east gate, west gate, and south gate, bluffing, and only caring about shouting and killing. Ma Zongheng led his troops into the city through the guò tunnel, while Hu Che'er ambushed at the north gate and intercepted the deserters.

Cheng Gongying's first battle showed his extraordinary strategy, and everyone in the army admired him, but Ma Zongheng did not reward him, but all the generals understood that these two people had their own proportions, as long as the time came, Cheng Gongying would become a pivotal member of the army.

After a night of fierce fighting, all the armies were tired, so Ma Zongheng ordered the armies to rest and make another reward tonight. Due to the large number of troops, several soldiers were ordered to patrol in shifts in case of accidents.

But it was said that at noon, Ma Zongheng summoned Cheng Gongying to discuss important matters.

"I think this Zhang Qing is timid and afraid, if there is no one behind him, he will never dare to commit it lightly. I've heard that Han Jiuqu has always been friendly with the Qiang people, could it be his trick? Ma Zongheng's face was cold, and his eyes were fierce, and he said.

Cheng Gongying pondered for a while, and said contemplatively: "In fact, I have thought about this matter for a long time, but I feel that Han Jiuqu has lost a lot of troops since the battle of Chencang, and he has tried his best, but he has lost Tianshui, and the morale of the army has been greatly hit." With his cunning character, for a while, I am afraid that he will not raise troops lightly. If this is the case, we might as well think about it, if the armies of Malaysia and South Korea are fighting because of this, who will benefit the most? ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he had an answer after a while, and exclaimed: "Dong Jackal!" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled indifferently, bowed slightly, stood up slowly, and said with a step: "Dong Jackal has always intended to send troops to the Central Plains, but Xiliang has horses and Han behind, aren't you afraid that the backyard will catch fire?" But if the two tigers of Ma and Han compete, he will be able to make a profit, and with his 300,000 male army of three auxiliaries, it is not difficult to dominate Xiliang with lightning speed!! ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, he couldn't help but be frightened, he had already believed seven points, and said coldly: "This Dong Jackal is much more terrifying than Han Jiuqu. Fei Yu, what should we do now? ”

Cheng Gongying's eyes lit up, suddenly turned around, looked directly at Ma Zongheng, and said sharply: "I once said that day, young eagles can't spread their wings and fly high, young tigers can't go down the mountain alone, even if they have eagle wings and tigers, it is difficult to break out of the world!" ”
