426 Feast of Fire

(There are more and more friends who send flowers, and Yaomang is very pleased.) Send a notice, starting in June, try to change twice a day, I hope you will continue to support)

After Ma Teng became the gate, starting from his great-grandfather, he passed down a set of systematic methods of commanding troops through two generations of his grandfather and father. In the past, Ma Teng has been taking medicine according to the prescription, leading the troops according to this set of army command models, and boasting that he is a person who is good at leading troops in battle. But after seeing Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's ability to govern the army, Ma Tengfang knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and his past self was simply a frog at the bottom of the well.

These two dolls are amazing......

Not to mention Zhuge Liang's ability to deal with internal affairs, Pang Tong's ability to govern the army is really shocking.

On the way to the march of the army, how to arrange the marching route, when to camp on the way to rest and be safe, and when to rush overnight to avoid Han Sui's sneak attack with the help of advantageous terrain. As an outsider, Pang Tong seems to know more about Xiliang than Ma Teng, who lives in Xiliang, and is familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers in Xiliang.

When resting, when should you set up camp upwind, when you have to go against the wind, and what kind of camp should you set up in different wind directions and different terrains. After camping, where should the grain and grass be stored? The front army or the rear army, or the middle army...... In which direction should scouts be sent, when, how often, and how many people should be sent each time......

This is all exquisite, and Pang Tong treasures it like a few treasures. There are many of these contents that Ma Teng has never heard of, and after listening to Pang Tong's explanation, he suddenly felt a great insight.

With the help of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tongyi, they arrived in Tianshui County in the shortest time and consumed the least amount of grain and grass, and set up camp twenty miles away from Tianshui.

The camp was set up, and Ma Teng, who had been running for days, was tired, and returned to the Chinese army's tent and was preparing to rest, and then attack the city in the coming day.

Just lay down and before he could close his eyes, he was called up by Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang. They told Ma Teng that Han Sui had seen the power of gunpowder before, and knew that it would be absolutely impossible to withstand the wanton bombardment of our church army by relying on the city defense. Therefore, tonight he will take a risk, and come to attack at night while our army is still gaining a foothold. We need to be prepared.

"So how do you prepare?" Ma Teng asked.

"The general doesn't need to panic, we have our own way." Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had an unusually tacit understanding, and they all spoke in unison.

……

As Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang expected, Han Sui sighed in his heart after learning that Ma Teng had taken refuge in Luan Yi. In his opinion, although Luan Yi has tens of thousands of soldiers, he is at most a strong dragon, and he, Han Sui, is the head snake on the ground of Xiliang. As the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, Han Sui in the first battle of Xiliang can completely rely on the geographical advantage to protect himself.

And after Ma Teng defected to Luan Yi, it means that this status quo will be completely broken. In Han Sui's mind, Ma Teng himself doesn't have much ability, but he has a good prestige in the Xiliang realm, and Luan Yi will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if he assists in beating Xiliang.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, I thought of the gunpowder weapon that was about to come. Han Sui knew that he would never be able to keep the city if he defended it. The only way to retreat from the enemy is to take the initiative to attack.

But when to strike is the first question he needs to choose.

In fact, from the moment Ma Teng stepped into Xiliang, Han Sui found many suitable locations for ambushes along the way, and sent scouts to constantly explore the movements of Ma Teng's army. But the military division under Namateng's tent was really powerful, and the arranged march route bypassed all those ambush points.

And every time he was unpredictable, he had an insight into the movements of Han Sui's scouts in advance, and then rounded him up. As a result, Han Sui not only failed to find out Ma Teng's deployment, but leaked a lot of his secrets.

Later, he learned that the scouts in Ma Teng's army were equipped with an observation prop called a telescope. With the help of this object, the Marten scout was two or three miles away from his men, thus firmly occupying the initiative.

Defending against the enemy abroad has become an extravagant hope, so Han Sui had no choice but to put his eyes under his nose and decided to make a desperate bet and hit Ma Teng hard while he had just arrived.

That night, Han Sui selected the most elite people under his command, a total of more than 7,000 people, under the leadership of the main general Wang Fang, to touch the Ma Teng camp by the night.

It's a common autumn night in the northwest, and the cold wind whisks the sand and gravel across the land, blowing the leaves and weeds on the roadside.

Wang Fang led the army, marched slowly against the strong wind, and rushed to the outside of the Mateng village at midnight to quietly observe the movement in the village.

I saw that the silence in the Ma Teng village was abnormal, and the vigilance of several soldiers in front of the village was not high, and they chatted with each other, without noticing that the crisis was coming.

Wang Fang's heart was happy. He knew that there might be two reasons why the gate of the camp was so unguarded, one was that the comfort in front of the camp gate was the thrill inside the cover, and there were pockets inside for him to drill into. Second, Ma Teng received Luan Yi's funding for this trip, and led an elite army of 40,000 to attack, which was unique for a while, and he was a little forgetful. He was so confident in the battle of Tianshui that he didn't dare to take the initiative to send troops to attack him.

In Wang's view, the latter is far more likely than the former. So, after determining that the guards of the Ma Teng battalion were insufficient, he decisively gave the order to charge.

With the melodious sound of the horn, the 7,000 army rushed to the gate of the Ma Teng army fortress like crazy.

There were only a few dozen guards of the Ma Teng army guarding the gate of the wall, and the army of Han Sui, who was surging to the east, was in a hurry, and scattered without any resistance, throwing off their armor and running back to the house.

Wang Fang effortlessly captured the walled gate, and in order to ensure the complete completion of the first two thousand soldiers and horses to take over the defense of the walled gate, to ensure the back road. Another mention of the remnants rushed into the Ma Teng village.

In the dark night when the fingers are missing, the full moon shrinks day after day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it is a crescent moon, as if it will disappear in the night sky in another day. The moonlight is bleak and the stars are sparse, giving people a sense of loneliness and loneliness.

Wang Fang was galloping on the horse, and when he looked up, he suddenly found that there was a faint touch of blood red in the silver color of the moon today.

"When the blood moon is at the head, there will be a disaster of blood light!" But who is this blood light aimed at? It's Ma Teng or I, Wang Fang.

When rushing into Dazhai 100 steps, Wang Fang felt a chill on his back, "Something is wrong!" "He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt weird. He subconsciously tightened his collar, lowered his head and cursed, "Hey, why is it so cold this day!" ”

Cold?

He jerked at the key, cold? How can it be so cold? It stands to reason that the camp should be the most popular place, and in such weather, not to mention the temperature of tens of thousands of people, the temperature of the camp will be red, and some bonfires should be lit inside and outside the tent to keep warm.

But why, until now, I have seen even a trace of fire in the Ma Teng camp. More importantly, according to the art of war, when a large army is encamped, in order to ensure that the enemy does not take advantage of the wind to carry out fire attacks, the large camp is often built in a tailwind. In this way, the flames ignited by the enemy could not go against the wind, and they could not burn into the camp. However, Ma Teng did the opposite, placing the camp in the headwind, that is to say, the wind was blowing from the direction of Tianshui, and it happened to blow on Wang Fang's back. This is also the reason why Wang Fang's spine is cold.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. "Not good, there is an ambush. Quickly Mingjin retreated. ”

But at this time, it was too late to retreat, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", a brilliant glow straight into the sky, bursting in the sky, flashing brilliant sparks, illuminating half of the sky.

Clusters of flames followed, gathered from outside the wall, and flew all the way along the lead line on the ground, which was almost impossible to find to the naked eye, like sparrows bounced all the way to feed, and plunged into the firewood piled up early in the morning outside the big tent in the camp. The black camp suddenly lit up with dazzling firelight, which startled Wang Fang and his party.

What shocked Wang Fang even more was still to come.

Hundreds of bonfires burned and burst out from the campfires, which rushed into the tents and lit up nearly a thousand barrels full of gunpowder.

"Boom, boom, boom ......" fierce firelight burst out from all sides of the camp, hundreds of tents were blown up into the sky by the powerful explosion wave, the explosion wave then transformed into a shock wave and rushed out, gathering in the Wang Fang's army array, under the strong impact and squeezing, the army and horses under the Wang Fang's tent fell around, and those who were in the center were crushed into pieces by this powerful force on the spot.

The rest of the people were not having a good time, and the rubble and gravel flew at high speed, like flying knives, breaking through the hard iron armor and piercing into the soldiers' bodies. After the blasting, the blazing flames rose in all directions, enveloping Wang Fang and his party in flames.

Wang Fang himself was even more miserable, his right arm was crushed by the explosion wave at the beginning, he fell off his horse, and was trampled on the head by a frightened war horse and died on the spot.

At the next moment when Wang Fang died, a terrible scream spread among Wang Fang's army, and the red fire reflected the red moon in the sky. After a grand explosion feast, the 4,000 soldiers and horses were almost completely wiped out.

At the same time, the drums of the charge sounded outside the village, and the Ma Teng army, which was ambushed in the dense forest, launched a counterattack on the camp. The soldiers of Wang Fang, who were guarding the gate of the camp, had just witnessed the death of 4,000 robes in the flames...... That's 4,000! The last second was fine, the blink of an eye was gone, and it was thrown into the sky by a strange force, and after being torn apart, the flesh and blood of the limbs rained on the ground, and then it was swallowed by the raging flames and burned into ashes. Not only did not leave a whole corpse, but not even a single residue remained.

Seeing the death of Pao Ze, the three thousand guards turned pale with fright, and they couldn't stand on their legs, let alone fight with knives. In addition, the Lord was about to die, and they had no need to fight desperately, so they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Ma Teng handed over the surrender of the soldiers to Zhuge Liang and Wu Da to take care of, and he led the army to push the thunderbolt car straight to Tianshui according to what Pang Tong said.

An asymmetrical battle was staged at the head of Tianshui City.
