Before rushing to the aid of Chang'an, Luan Yi had recruited Huang Zhong to his front and had some meaningful advice.

At noon when the sun was blazing, Luan Yi told Huang Zhong not to enter the city after arriving in Chang'an, but to build a camp outside the city at an angle to Zhao Yun in Chang'an City.

Huang Zhong did as Luan Yi said.

Luan Yi also told Huang Zhong that after the camp was built, Ma Teng and Han Sui would inevitably divide their troops into two routes, all the way to Chang'an, and all the way to attack his camp.

The battle was as Luan Yi expected, and Han Sui and Ma Teng divided their troops.

In addition, Luan Yi repeatedly told Huang Zhong that if it was Han Sui who came to attack Huang Zhong's army, he would fight back with all his might. If it was Ma Teng, he would feign resistance for a while, and retreat to Tongguan in defeat.

Huang Zhong was puzzled. Why should we use different attitudes towards different enemies, and why should we fight Han instead of Ma Teng?

In this regard, Luan Yi did not give a clear explanation, but only left two words "discord".

Huang Zhong has led the army for many years, and he is familiar with military books, and immediately understands the deep meaning of Luan Yi's word "separation", and at the same time understands why Luan Yi sent himself as a pioneer.

In the process of reminiscing, the church army and the Ma Teng army had already lined up in array, and they saw a silver-armored general in the Ma Teng army. I saw that this man's face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, he had a tiger body and ape arms, a wolf waist, a lion helmet on his head, a beast belt around his waist, a silver armor and a white robe, and a golden spear with animal horns.

Huang Zhong has long heard that Ma Teng's son Ma Chao has an extraordinary appearance and a handsome face, and everyone in Xiliang calls him Jin Ma Chao to praise his chic and heroic appearance. Seeing Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi in person today, I knew that the rumors were true.

Of course, this Ma Chao is not only fancy. In the past, during Ma Chao's service under Ma Teng's tent, he experienced no less than 100 battles with the Qiang people without losing a defeat, and took the lead several times to capture the flag. In Xiliang, the Qiang men trembled when they heard Ma Chao's bravery, the children cried when they heard his name, and the women fell in love when they heard his name......

Huang Zhong's eyes showed a bit of appreciation, and after secretly praising the famous general, it was really extraordinary.

Yan Liangwen has been in Hebei for more than ten years, and when he saw Ma Chao's arrogant appearance, he was warlike. At the same time, he took a step forward to ask Huang Zhong for battle.

Huang Zhong smiled and waved his hand, slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife, and walked out of the military formation in person.

Ma Chao also admired Huang Zhong's name for a long time, and when he saw Huang Zhong personally go into battle, he was like a great enemy. But after watching for a while, he found that Huang Zhong's eyes did not show even a trace of killing intent.

In his sight, Huang Zhong rode his horse slowly, slowly, and slowly approached the center of the large array like a stride.

Just as Ma Chao guessed Huang Zhong's intentions, he saw Huang Zhong, who was sitting on the horse, pressing his right hand holding the knife with his left hand and bowing to Ma Teng, "Huang Xiao's eldest grandson, Huang Zhong, greets General Ma Teng." ”

Ma Teng was stunned when he heard this. Huang Xiao? Why does it sound so familiar, where do you hear it? He reminisced about it repeatedly, and then it dawned on him.

It's him?

A long-sealed memory surfaced in Ma Teng's heart. He remembered what his father had told him...... I think that when my grandfather, General Fubo, aided the western expedition to the desert, if it were not for the full support of his four generals, it would never have been possible to establish such a great achievement as "Le Shi Yanran".

These four generals are: Wang Wei, Tian Zhao, Jiang Tong, and Huang Xiao. Among them, Huang Xiaoshan is good at using a long knife, and has saved the lives of horse aid many times in previous battles, and is the most reused.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong turned out to be his grandson. Ma Yuan and Huang Xiao are colleagues and peers. Ma Teng is Ma Yuan's grandson...... In this way, Huang Zhong and Ma Teng are of the same generation, and Ma Chao should call Huang Zhong's uncle.

Acquaintances met, although they were hostile sides on the battlefield, but Huang Zhong smiled at each other, and Ma Teng naturally couldn't greet him with a cold face. Respectfully, "I didn't expect to meet the descendants of General Huang Xiao today, which is disrespectful and disrespectful." Yan urged Ma Chao and said, "Don't give your uncle a salute yet." ”

Ma Chao grew up listening to the story of his grandfather Rong Ma's life since he was a child, and he has great respect for the four ancestors of Wang Tian and Turmeric. Especially Huang Xiao, if he hadn't rushed into thousands of troops to save his grandfather's life, his grandfather would not have had the opportunity to marry his grandmother. Without a grandmother, there would be no father, and there would be no Ma Chao.

Therefore, for that General Huang, Ma Chao not only admires him, but also is grateful.

Today, when I saw Huang Xiao's eldest grandson, I was overjoyed, and I pushed my hands with both hands, and my gesture was like a textbook, "Ma Mengqi visited his uncle." ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and saluted Ma Chao again.

The two families have become friends. As a result, a scene that was incompatible with the atmosphere of slaughter on the battlefield was presented in the center of the two armies of Huang Zhong and Ma Teng.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son actually recounted the old days with Huang Zhong, and each told the past of their ancestors after Le Shiyanran.

When Ma Teng talked about his ancestor Fubo's general Ma Yuan's crusade against Wuxi Man who was seriously ill and died, Huang Zhong couldn't help but tear his clothes and shouted how unfair the sky was, Yingjie was old and strong and could still make great achievements, but at this time he let him wrap his body in horse leather.

When he learned that Ma Yuan was framed by the courtier Liang Song after his death, and after his death, he was actually taken back by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and the seal of the new Marquis. Huang Zhong loudly reprimanded the ministers for taking power, such evil deeds, let the heroic spirit be safe?

Huang Zhong also told Ma Teng and Ma Chao about the rest of his grandfather's life. Since he and Ma Yuan Le Shi Yanran, Huang Zhong's grandfather Huang Xiao was named the general of the expedition to the north because of his outstanding military achievements, and fought against Xianbei and Xiongnu in Bingzhou.

In all wars, he took the lead, and although he won many battles, he was also wounded. At the age of forty-five, as his physical functions began to decline, and he was unable to fight with old injuries from time to time, the imperial court saw that he could not continue to lead the army, so he was sent back to his hometown in Changsha.

For the rest of his life, Huang Xiao's life was lonely and dark. Leaving the battlefield, he could not find the meaning of life and the purpose of life, so he closed himself in a sinking environment, became insane, and became mentally abnormal.

After about a year, he died at the age of 48.

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong's expression became gloomy. took out the wine bag from his waist and poured it violently, and threw it to Ma Teng.

Then he dismounted, and sat down on the ground.

Ma Teng did not hesitate at all, poured a sip of wine, got off the horse and sat opposite Huang Zhong, and threw the wine bag to Ma Chao.

The three of them sat on the floor and continued to share their family affairs with each other.

Ma Teng told Huang Zhong that after the death of his grandfather Ma Yuan, his father Ma Ping and several uncles lived an unusually dark life because he was framed by villains in the court. Not to mention eating, I don't even have a place to live, I am lonely, running around, relying on horses to help the old officials to help me beg for a living. It was not until the first three years of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty that the previous events were rehabilitated, and Ma Yuan was traced to the Marquis of Zhongcheng, that he began to improve. The heirs of the Ma family were able to make a living in the army and rose to prominence one after another.

After speaking, Ma Teng poured a sip of liquor, and that sad memory surfaced in his eyes.

Huang Zhong told Ma Teng that after his grandfather's death, his father used his grandfather as a name to obtain a position as a counselor of the Changsha march in Changsha.

During his father's time as an official, he worked hard all his life, although he did not have the opportunity to lead the troops into battle and make such a meritorious service as his grandfather, but he also returned to a peaceful life.

After his father's death, the post of marching counselor passed to him. During his time as an official, he was safe and stable, but he only suppressed a few mountain bandits, and he didn't fight any battles. Just when he thought that his life would be as mediocre as his father, his only son Huang Xu was seriously ill, and he asked famous doctors all over the world to say that the disease was incurable, so that he could prepare for the future.

He was desperate, and once thought that the Huang family's incense would be interrupted, and Huang Xiao's reputation would be passed on again.

At this critical moment concerning the future of the Huang family, the Protector Sect Leader, Qi Wang Luan Yi came, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, bringing light to the entire Huang family. With Luan Yi's full help and Hua Tuo's careful treatment, Huang Xu, who had been bedridden for many years, was miraculously cured. And not only recovered, but also served in the Church of Our Lady for many years, and now he has become the patriarch of the Diocese of Xuzhou, as if he has become a high-ranking priest at the level of assassins.

The son has a good life, marries a daughter-in-law and gives birth to a baby, and he, as a father, is relieved.

Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Ma Teng and Ma Chao sighed for a while, "Luan Ziqi is really benevolent and righteous!" "Call Huang Zhong lucky. If it weren't for Luan Yi coming to the rescue in time, it would really be a great tragedy in life for the white-haired people of the Huang family to send the black-haired people.

On this day, Huang Zhong talked a lot with Ma Teng and his son, while drinking, while drinking, a bag of wine was drunk, Huang Zhong sent someone to send a bag, and the three of them drank the wine bag fairy brew, and they still felt unfinished chatting until dark.

Immediately made an appointment to continue the conversation on the second day.

So, a table of wine and banquet was placed in the middle of the array of the two armies at dawn on the second day.

At the same time, in two days, Han Sui launched two fierce attacks on Chang'an City, and the offensive was even more than before, with more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, surrounded Chang'an on three sides.

Han Sui originally thought that Chang'an City, which only had more than 13,000 people left, was determined to win, but the reality was not as simple as he imagined, and such a crazy offensive failed to stir up much waves.

Every time the Xiliang army rushed within 100 steps of Chang'an City, nearly 100 thunderbolts standing in the city would throw deadly missiles. The first round was the burning altar, a huge wine jar filled with strong wine, which rose into the air after ignition and smashed into the crowd of the Xiliang army. A burning wall of fire was formed outside the city.

Then, a second round of missiles took off into the air. Compared to the incendiary altar, these missiles are much smaller, the size of a fist. The "fist" is the latest throwing thermal weapon developed by the Ordnance Factory, which is scientifically called a hand grenade, and the people in the church army prefer to call it a hand melon.

The outer part of the hand melon is covered with copper and iron barbs and fine lines like turtle shells, and the inside is filled with gunpowder. When fighting alone, you can ignite its tail fuse and throw it. When the fuse burns into the powder magazine, it will cause an explosion, and the huge force of the impact will shatter the turtle-like shell, using the impact force and metal fragments to cause massive damage.

At the same time, the handmelon can also be used with the Thunderbolt for large-scale projectiles. At that time, each Thunderbolt will carry 20 handmelons, and the power of the flakes will be struck in a specific area, which is amazing.

At this time, Han Sui's soldiers and horses were personally tasting the shocking power of the rain of melon bullets.
