Chapter 567: Supporting the Praetorian Guard
"General, the general of the Central Praetorian Guard has sent a battle report!"
As soon as Ding Chong ordered the whole army to rest for a while, a sentry horse came to Ding Chong quickly. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Ding Chong chewed dry food in his mouth and took the battle report from the sentry rider. After a breath, Ding Chong stood up from the ground in a flash. "Wear, cough, cough, cough, cough......" "General!" A soldier immediately handed the kettle to Ding Chong. Ding Chong swallowed and took the kettle, poured down two mouthfuls of it, and the dry food choked in his throat finally reached his stomach.
"Pass on my general's order, and the whole army will set off immediately!" "General, where are we going?" After wandering around the desert for these days, the 5,000 cavalry who followed Ding Chong were stunned and didn't catch a single head. If it weren't for Ding Chong's previous achievements, I'm afraid the soldiers would have to start rebelling.
"Go back. Our Praetorian Guard and the Great Prince are facing each other head-on. Let's go to the aid of the Praetorian Guard! Ding Chong climbed onto the war horse.
"Yes!"
――――
On the other side, in the base camp of the eldest prince - Ershi City. Ma Chao has arrived at the Second Division City. And the defenders of Ershi City are also singles, and they opened the city gate for Ma Chao with a big grin.
"This general, are you the general from the Great Han?"
Ma Chao nodded wordlessly at the two people who walked out of the city gate and came to him. 'Can't you see such a big flag behind me?' ’
However, they were supposed to see Ma Chao as an enemy, and they actually showed a happy smile. At this time, Ma Chao was even more speechless. 'I'm here to kill you, is it necessary to be so happy?' ’
"The general is finally here!"
"We've finally got the general!"
Although the two people said different things, they meant the same thing. I was looking forward to you coming, why is it so slow? It's as if a few robbers, after committing a crime, are actually waiting for the police uncle to arrive! Moreover, after the police uncle arrived, he complained and said, "You guys are too slow!" ”
For a moment, Ma Chao felt that something was wrong, and he was tired! However, the two said to Ma Chao: "Since the general is here, let's enter the city quickly." While talking, the two walked towards the city on their own, and kept muttering: "The eldest prince is not in the city, and there are less than two hundred defenders in the city." Before leaving, the eldest prince also said that if anyone comes with a large army, you should surrender. However, we didn't expect it to be a Han general, what a surprise! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the two of them, and when he looked back, huh? So why is the general still waiting there? "General! Into the city! ”
Ma Chao didn't speak immediately, but quietly looked at the city wall in front of him. On the city walls, there was nothing at all, except for some colorful flags without any writing. However, Ma Chao's heart has always felt that it is not so simple.
After a while, Ma Chao asked, "You said there are only two hundred people in the city?" ”
"That's right! After His Royal Highness the Great Prince received information and discovered the location of the Praetorian Guards on the Internet, His Royal Highness the Great Prince immediately led the army north to meet the battle. His Highness did indeed leave only 200 people in the city! Six thousand people walked that day! ”
"Where has the eldest prince gone?"
"I don't know! It's not something we little soldiers can know! ”
"Creeps?" Ma Chao keenly captured these two words. 'Just two little soldiers, they dare to talk and laugh in front of me, in front of my army of 6,000. There must be something to rely on, there must be cats in the city! Just two simple words made Ma Chao affirm, definite and certain his own thoughts.
"General, hurry up and enter the city, the brothers can't wait!"
'Besides, I can't wait to kill me! Ma Chao thought to himself, "Pound! ”
"The last general!"
"Lead five hundred troops, go into the city and have a look. Be careful, beware of ambushes in the city. As soon as things change, get out of town! ”
Now the only ones who can competently go to the city to see the situation first are Ma Chao and Pang De. As the commander of the three armies, Ma Chao naturally needs to stay and control the overall situation, so only Pang De is the only one who goes to thunder!
"General, if there is an ambush in the city, five hundred is too many. Entering the city can be orderly, but getting out of the city is not so easy. General, give the last general a hundred men! If there really are only 200 people in the city, 100 people are more than enough! If there is an ambush in the city, a hundred men should withdraw at once! ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao nodded. "Be careful!"
"Yes!"
Pang De replaced Ma Chao and followed behind the two soldiers of the second division, and cautiously walked into the city gate hole. Pound is not a wise man who is brave and resourceful. As soon as he entered the city, Pound left twenty men to control the city gate. It's about keeping yourself back. Then, he sent another twenty men to climb the city wall along the road at once, and after receiving a report from no one on the wall, Pang De led the remaining sixty people into the city.
When he got out of Weng City, Pound was immediately startled by what he saw. What a huge crowd in front of me. I'm afraid that there will be another scene of thousands of empty alleys.
And in front of the huge crowd, there were rows of neatly organized soldiers. Their weapons were placed at their feet, and only the suits on their bodies indicated their identity. Pound didn't need to count them one by one, and at a glance he knew that the army was only two hundred.
Pound was not careless, and immediately sent out thirty men, divided into three teams, and each walked towards the city. Two quarters of an hour later, they came back one by one, and the news they brought back was safe.
At this time, Pang De sent someone to tell Ma Chao that he could enter the city.
After Ma Chao drove into the city, the nobles and nobles in the city immediately flocked to it. When Ma Chao asked about the whereabouts of the eldest prince, some said that the eldest prince fled, some said that the eldest prince went to fight, and some said that the eldest prince went to Guishan City to admit his mistake...... There are all kinds of answers. However, the only thing Ma Chao can confirm is that the eldest prince is indeed not in the city, and the defenders in the city are indeed only 200 people.
Ma Chao not only blushed, but also seemed to be really careful. Ma Chao's purpose here was to give the eldest prince a blow to his heart, but the eldest prince was good, and he left an empty city here and gave it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao was a little uncomfortable. What do you call that?
Although Ma Chao won the Second Division City in vain, Ma Chao's battle was not less. However, these battles are not on the battlefield, but at the wine table.
Fortunately, the messengers of the Praetorian Guard arrived at the Second Division. rescued Ma Chao, who was about to soak in the wine jar.
After Ma Chao received the battle report, he waved his big hand, stopped drinking, and the army immediately set out to support the Praetorian Guard!
