Chapter 172: Ma Teng's Scheme
"Pass my military order~~ Raise fire immediately!"
"The pikemen are in a row of horses."
"Archers ~~ ready."
Cheng Yi's military orders were issued one after another, and piles of raging fires burned on the river beach in an instant, and it could be seen ten miles away, a thousand pikemen entered the line behind the grain carts in formation, and five hundred archers lined up next to the pikemen, and one by one the longbows had been unloaded from their backs.
There is a dense forest a few miles away on the left side of the Goju River beach, Zhang Heng's 3,000 elite soldiers are ambushed in this wood, it is not a good errand to ambush in the field when this spring cold is precipitous, Zhang Heng and 3,000 soldiers are shivering from the cold, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly screams.
"General, fire, fire!"
"Huh!?"
Zhang Henghuo Ran looked up and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw several fires burning on the beach of the Geju River, and then looked back to the north, and found that the dotted torches were sweeping all over the mountains, thinking that it should be the Ma Teng rebels! Seeing this, Zhang Heng's spirits were greatly lifted, and he thought that the military division was clever, and Ma Teng really hit the plan!
"Brothers~~" Zhang Heng drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "The idea is here, I have done my work (Zhang Heng was originally born as a bandit, and he was stained with banditry), and he listened carefully to Lao Tzu, the horse bit, the hoof wrap, everyone was not allowed to talk, no noise, and no torches, everyone quietly touched it, and copied Ma Teng's old boy's eyes, hahaha~~"
"Hahaha~~"
The three thousand soldiers burst into laughter, and came out of the dense forest one after another, while holding their hands that were about to freeze, while stomping their feet vigorously, and then followed Zhang Heng in the direction of the Goju River Beach, almost at the same time, in the dense forest on the other side of the Goju River Beach, the three thousand elite soldiers led by Hou Xuan also touched it.
Ma Teng thought he had a plan, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into Li Ru's calculations, and the four thousand elite Liangzhou iron cavalry were so defenseless that they got into the ambush circle carefully arranged by Li Ru.
"Brothers~~" Ma Teng pulled the long knife in his hand forward and shouted loudly, "Do you see the group of grain trucks connected together on the river beach in front?" The car is full of food, and everyone will immediately have hot dough cakes and fragrant jerky to eat~~Kill~~"
"Kill, kill, kill~~"
The four thousand soldiers took advantage of the blazing fire on the river beach, and sure enough, they saw the black grain truck, which was covered with a thick curtain, and the grain was piled up like a hill.
On the beach of the Goju River, Cheng Yi's eyes narrowed into two thin slits in an instant, and his heart was full of fear and expectation.
Ma Teng is a famous fierce general in Xiliang, brave and good at fighting and deeply supported by Qiang Hu soldiers, Cheng Yi was still in Liangzhou when he was a bandit, he once learned Ma Teng's power, thousands of people and horses were often killed by Ma Teng's hundreds of officers and soldiers, the cottage was lost one after another, and once even his life was almost lost!
However, time has passed, and now Cheng Yi has become an official soldier, while Ma Teng has become a horse thief.
Since following the big leader Han Sui to Dong Zhuo, Cheng Yi is no longer a bandit, and now the brothers are all iron guys, and there are more than 500 archers, and they are all covered with iron armor, and the equipment is no worse than the officers and soldiers in Liangzhou, thinking of this, Cheng Yi's heart is full of expectations, if today~~ can kill Ma Teng on the Goju River beach, then the title of the fierce general of Xiliang should fall to him Cheng Yi, right?
"Puff~"
Cheng Yi pulled out his two big feet from the mud, jumped on a grain cart with great force, and raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, listen well, the Xiliang cavalry has nothing to fear, their war horses can't rush up to this river beach, as long as Ma Teng is killed tonight, from now on Lao Tzu will be the number one general in Xiliang, and we will be the most capable army in the entire Liangzhou, kill it~~"
"Huh? Maarten! ”
"General Maten?"
"General Ma Teng who came to plunder?"
Cheng Yi's voice fell, and many Qianghu soldiers whispered, at least 1,000 of the 3,000 elite soldiers were Qianghu people, and the Qianghu people's support for Ma Teng can be said to be deep-rooted, and even Ma Teng has rebelled and become a rebel of the Han Dynasty, these Qianghu people still respect him.
There is a reason why Ma Teng can have such deep connections in the hearts of Qianghu people.
The Qianghu people are fierce and advocate force, and Ma Teng's ancestor Ma Yuan, the general of the Han Dynasty, once trampled on the first zero and the wolf Zhuqiang more than 100 years ago.
When it comes to the name of General Fu Bo, the Qiang children dare not cry at night.
Of course, Ma Teng has such a deep-rooted position in the hearts of the Qianghu people, not all by the remnants of the ancestor Ma Yuan, Ma Teng has been in the army for more than 20 years, and hundreds of battles with the Qianghu people, killing tens of thousands of Qianghu people, and conquering thousands of Qianghu small tribes, but the more so, the more Ma Teng is supported by the Qianghu people.
Because of the noisy darkness and the loud response of more than half of the Han soldiers, Cheng Yi didn't notice that many of the Qianghu soldiers under his command had begun to whisper.
Amid the neighing of horses, Ma Teng's four thousand iron horsemen finally rushed to the edge of the Goju River beach.
Ma Teng turned over and dismounted, drew the long knife in his hand forward, and said quickly: "Brothers, dismount!" ”
Four thousand soldiers dismounted, abandoned the war horse and came to Ma Teng to assemble, Ma Teng said: "Leave three hundred brothers to guard the war horse, and the rest of the brothers~~ go with the general to grab food~~"
"Grab the food!"
"Fuck it~~"
"Grab it~~"
The four thousand soldiers roared as hard as they could, and while roaring, they frantically waved the horse chopping knife in their hands, Ma Teng turned around and pressed the long knife in his hand forward, except for the three hundred soldiers who were left to guard the war horses, the rest of the Xiliang soldiers overflowed the river beach like a flood, and pressed towards the Cheng Yi army in the depths of the river beach.
On the grain cart, Cheng Yi snorted, the saber in his hand swung down fiercely, and at the same time looked up to the sky and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
Five hundred archers have drawn their bows and arrows and shot towards the sky, and suddenly five hundred sharp wolf's tooth arrows have swept into the air with a terrible scream, crossing a parabola in the air, and viciously falling towards the head of the surging Liangzhou rebels~~
The crisp sound of the sharp blade cutting through the flesh and bones, the miserable howls of the Liangzhou soldiers and the cursing sound were intertwined in an instant, and about a hundred Liangzhou soldiers fell on the river beach with a wail, and Ma Teng was also scratched by the stray arrow, if he deviated a little to the left, this arrow could hit his eyebrows.
Undeterred by this setback, the fierce rebels continued to howl and charge towards the riverbank.
"Arrow~"
"Arrow~"
"Arrow~"
The saber in Cheng Yi's hand swung down again and again, watching the Liangzhou soldiers struggling on the river beach in front of him fall into the mud one after another, wailing and falling into the mud, Cheng Yi's heart was full of cruel pleasure! From the edge of the river beach to the front line of Dong Zhuojun's army, it is only a hundred and ten paces away, and if it is flat ground, it can be crossed with just one breath of effort, but now due to the obstruction of silt, the Liangzhou soldiers have to spend more time and greater casualties to cross.
"Ah~"
Another Liangzhou soldier screamed and fell, and fell beside Ma Teng, Ma Teng lowered his head, and a cold wolf tooth arrow ruthlessly shot through the left chest of the Liangzhou soldier, the Liangzhou soldier held his chest with both hands, looked at Ma Teng with blank eyes, his lips moved desperately, but he couldn't make a sound, only the dark blood beads quietly trickled down the corners of his mouth.
"Ah~"
Ma Teng Huo Ran turned around and roared like a wounded beast, and suddenly, his slender and majestic body slammed back, and the next moment, Ma Teng's body shrank violently like a bow, and the long knife in his hand had been thrown out by him, and the long knife weighing dozens of catties split the air in an instant, making a piercing scream, and stabbed Cheng Yi dozens of steps forward like lightning, standing on the grain cart.
On the grain cart, Cheng Yi raised his sword again, and just as he was about to cut down, a cold killing machine struck from the darkness in front of him, enveloping him in an instant! Cheng Yi's pupils contracted suddenly, and he rolled over and jumped back with a long howl, trying to jump backwards into the grain cart to avoid this terrible killing machine.
However, Cheng Yi's body had just jumped up when Ma Teng's long knife had already shot like lightning.
"Poof!"
The cold light flashed, and the sharp long knife accurately penetrated Cheng Yi's abdominal cavity, Cheng Yiren snorted violently in the air, holding his abdomen with both hands, his eyes became dull in an instant, and the next moment, Cheng Yi's majestic body was thrown backwards by Ma Teng's incomparably fierce knife.
"Kill!"
Ma Teng roared, Qiang Ran pulled out his sword and struggled forward, hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers roared like beasts, rushed forward over Ma Teng, and after paying hundreds of casualties of elite soldiers, Ma Teng's rebels finally rushed to Dong Zhuojun's grain truck, and the tragic fierce battle was officially staged.
