As a hereditary tyrant group in the western part of Xiliang, Ma Teng and the soldiers and horses under the command of Han Sui are not the same as the Eastern Xiliang Army represented by Dong Zhuo.

The Western Liang Army under Dong Zhuo was actually based on the elite regular border guards of the Han Empire in eastern Liangzhou guarding the Western Regions. Plus the cavalry of the recruited minorities to build together.

Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army was greatly influenced by the nomadic armies of the Xiongnu and other nomads, focusing on cavalry and mobility, which was a very effective tactic at the time.

The armies of the era of classical militarism marched faster than those armies of later generations who did not move without silver. When Cao Cao's elite cavalry pursued Liu Da'er, they galloped five miles in a day! And catch up and win!

This kind of combat effectiveness was placed in the Song and Ming dynasties, in addition to Yue Fei's troops and the strong army in the early Ming Dynasty. Who else can do it? As for me, I don't need to say anything more.

However, the armies of Ma Teng and others are inextricably linked with the Western Regions and other regions close to Westernization.

After Dong Zhuo's large-scale entry into the customs, most of the Chinese military talents in the Xiliang area moved eastward to follow, and finally almost the entire army was wiped out. The brand-new Western Liang army close to the Western Regions was completely different from the previous one.

Because of the geographical relationship, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others absorbed a large number of local descendants of Western soldiers. Many of them are burly outsiders with high noses and deep eyes. They are not a minority in the Western Regions.

These outsiders were essentially the descendants of colonists who remained in Central Asia during the Roman Empire's expeditions, as well as those who broke up after a massive defeat. They still retain the ancient Roman way of fighting and military thinking. There are even those whose ancestors can be traced back to the Alexander Expedition!

In this era, there were many descendants of such Roman Central Asian colonists. Many of them continued to migrate to the East for various reasons, from resting to the Western Regions, and then to the borders of the Han Empire.

Ma Teng and Han then recruited a large number of descendants of the Romans, who had large arms and could use javelins, and used Greek-style heavy shields, to form a Hercynian legion with more than 6,000 troops. This army was held in the hands of Ma Teng. Stick to it as the mainstay!

"Father!" Ma Chao rode his horse to Ma Teng's side with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice, "The battle situation is critical at this moment, and if we continue, we will definitely lose." Once the battle is lost. Then we won't have a chance to turn over. ”

Ma Chao is telling the truth. In order to resist the Gaoyang army that the army came to crusade, Ma Teng and Han Sui almost evacuated the adult strong men in the entire western part of Liangzhou. even brought a lot of people from the Western Regions.

The total strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui was about seventy or eighty thousand, which was already about the same as the total number of Gaoyang's army. And at this moment, Gao Yang's soldiers and logistics soldiers and horses are all on the far side of Tianshui. Only these tens of thousands of cavalry came at a gallop. As long as this cavalry can be annihilated here, then I don't dare to say that it is no problem to unify Xiliang.

The situation is now clear. The well-equipped and well-equipped Gaoyang cavalry group gradually suppressed the coalition forces, which were mainly herdsmen. Ma Chao estimated that it wouldn't even be long before the cavalry cluster on his side would be under tremendous pressure!

At this time, if you want to turn over, the best opportunity is already in front of you, and take the Haixi Legion, which was used by Ma Teng as the last reserve force, to raid and kill Gaoyang, who was in the forefront. As long as you can kill Gao Yang. Then the whole world will be reversed!

"Father!" Looking at Ma Teng, who was speechless, Ma Chao, who was in an anxious mood, said eagerly, "The soldiers and horses of Gao Yang are all wearing heavy armor, especially the elite guards beside Gao Yang. Arrows with thick armor can't be shot, and knives keep chopping! If you want to deal with them, the only possibility is the javelins in the hands of the Hercynian Legion! ”

"What if you win?" Ma Teng's sudden voice made the anxious Ma Chao stunned. He didn't understand what it meant, what it meant to win.

Ma Teng slowly raised his finger to the battlefield in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "I said, that Gao Yang is not stupid. Stupid can't do where he is today. The Haixi Legion was a foot soldier, and they surrounded it with their legs, so Gao Yang was blind and couldn't see those heavy shields. The Hercynian Legion with javelins on its back did not work? ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Ma Teng continued silently, "Today's battle was actually lost before the start of the battle. How do you why? Ma Teng set his sights on his strengths.

Ma Chao, who was completely confused, shook his head, he really couldn't understand.

"It's not the Spring and Autumn era anymore. Long gone are the days when a great war could decide the fate of a country. We want to use half of the Western Liang Land to fight against the entire Han Empire? Don't say it's you and my father. No one in the world wants to do it! After a pause, Ma Teng said with a strange expression, "Maybe Gao Yang can, but he is on the other side now." ”

"So why fight this senseless battle? Seeing so many good men lost here, why is it? It's better to surrender in the first place! Ma Chao roared angrily.

"Although this Western Liang Alliance is nominally dominated by me and your Uncle Han, it is actually a community united by various powerful families in the western part of Liangzhou. That Liang Xinghou, Cheng Yin, Li Kan and others all have their own strength, and they are unwilling to surrender. Ma Teng explained as usual: "In the years of the decline of the imperial court, we heroes have almost completely snatched everything that originally belonged to the imperial court. Now that the senior lieutenant has come with the imperial army to take away all the things, naturally some people are unwilling. ”

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ma Teng's mouth. said indifferently: "These turtles who have never seen the world have been begging for food in the grasslands and wastelands for generations, and they think they are invincible in the world when they live in simple villages. I want to be the king. These people don't have any insight and vision at all, and they won't know how powerful and terrifying the entire Central Plains is! ”

Speaking of which. Ma Teng let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at the battle situation that was gradually beginning to collapse with a complicated expression. Then he said, "When Emperor Sejong Wu was the time, how powerful were the Huns who crisscrossed the northern steppe? But under the blow of the imperial army, didn't he also fall into the west, and the obedient returned? What can we count as a little bit of people in front of the court! ”

"Father!" Ma Chao looked at his father in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you and Uncle Han ......" Because he was surprised, he couldn't say the rest of the words.

"That's right." Ma Teng snorted coldly, and replied in a deep voice, "Your Uncle Han and I have already taken the initiative to surrender to the senior lieutenant before!" Today's battle is all about consuming the diehards who will not surrender! Don't you see that our own soldiers and horses haven't moved much? Your Uncle Han's side, except for the two henchmen who play with Yang Qiu. The others have become dead souls by this time, and their soldiers and horses have been exhausted! We'll take the initiative to withdraw our troops and end this battle. After returning to Wuwei, your Uncle Han and I will take the initiative to say that the Gaoyang army is strong and irresistible, and then ask everyone to surrender. We fought, but we were defeated. Everything is taken for granted, and no one will say anything more. ”

Speaking of this, a chuckle appeared at the corner of Ma Teng's mouth, looked at the stunned Chang, and said with a pleasant face, "Your future should be like Huo Hussar's dominance over the world, instead of being tied to this desolate Xiliang!" ”

"Why...... Don't tell me? Ma Chao muttered, "I was let go by that Zhao Long, also because of this?" ”

"Son, you're young." Ma Teng sighed secretly in his heart, and said lightly, "War, it's not just on the battlefield!" ”

......

It's over, a fierce battle that has swallowed countless lives is over. Even the outcome of this fierce battle was predestined before it began!

Did Ma Teng and Han Sui not want to resist Gao Yang? As soon as the body of the Gaoyang Tiger was shocked, they were infected by the powerful personality charm? The two of them didn't get the virus!

Ma Teng and Han Sui are just smarter and have a broad vision. They can fight to the death with Guo Yan, because Guo Yan's eyes are also on the little Xiliang. However, when faced with Gao Yang, who came with the majesty of the entire world, they naturally had no other choice.

When Guo Jia, who looked like wine, came to Wuwei, Ma Teng and Han Sui knew that all their ambitions were over.

Guo Fengxiao didn't have any coercion and temptation, but just asked if you still want to live? Do you want the whole family to live?

He's just stating a fact. If you continue to resist, once you are defeated, it will naturally be the end of the extinction of the race. Because they are traitors who betrayed the Han Empire, because they would be losers.

The current Han Empire was born because of Gao Yang, and in a short period of time, the situation of the world pattern and the rise of the heroes quickly flattened. In addition, Gao Yang transfused blood from modern time and space, so that countless people who were originally lost due to war, famine and disease epidemics were preserved, and the strength of the entire empire was not greatly lost.

This is what Ma Teng and Han Sui are most afraid of!

They may not be afraid of Gao Yang, but they are afraid of the Han Dynasty that can treat the Western Regions as their back garden! What they are afraid of is the terrifying strength of the Han court!

The prestige of Weihuo Banma and others still echoes in this land!

This was not the Battle of Weinan twenty years later. At that time, the Xiliang Legion that ruled Fu was far from being able to compare with the Ma Teng Han Sui coalition army that only occupied half of Xiliang at the moment.

The powerful army under Gao Yang and the more terrifying rear support were not at that time, Cao Wei, who had already been weakened after twenty years of torture, and only half of the north was in hand.

It is also logical for Ma Teng and Han Sui, who have vision and insight, to choose to surrender.

With the return of Xiliang, Gaoyang reopened the road to the Western Regions. The huge land of more than fifty countries in the Western Regions was nothing in Gao Yang's eyes. He was looking at this silk that led to the Far West!

It's just that before setting his sights on the west, Gao Yang has to first haunt the northern wolf rider that has plagued China for thousands of years! (To be continued)
