Chapter 128: The Decisive Battle of Zhiyang
Zhiyang, here is one of the important material transit places of Han Suijun, the huge warehouse city in the east of the county is stacked with Han Suijun's grain and grass equipment for several years, Han Sui was driven all the way by Ma Teng from Guzang to Zhangye, and then from Zhangye to Lingju, Yunjie, and now Zhiyang, panicked like a lost dog.
This time he went north to block Ma Teng, Zhiyang once again showed his importance, the warehouse was full of a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance weapons, and a large number of food and materials were transported from here to the front line every day, but with Han Sui retreating to Zhiyang, this place also became a strategic location.
In the early morning of this day, when the people of Zhiyang woke up, many people were shocked by a scene outside the city, only to see that the wilderness in the north of the county was full of dense camp tents, as if it was like mushrooms after the rain, it came out overnight, the camp of Zhou Luobu, at a glance could not see the edge, a pole as high as several zhang of the big fire in the wind, which was embroidered with the word "horse" on a black background and white edge.
In addition to the magnificence, there were also a large number of soldiers patrolling the camp tents, and groups of cavalry galloped outside the camp, including Han and Qiang soldiers, who wielded swords and spears to drive the bewildered merchants and pedestrians off the official road.
This is Ma Teng personally led the main army of 40,000 to Zhiyang, if you add the army in Yuzhong, Yuwei, Lingju and other places, it has reached 60,000, this is almost the army that Ma Teng can control now, this counterattack, Ma Teng is bound to win.
At this time, a group of military horses came from the west, about 20 horses, each on horseback, led by a man in his thirties, tall and bear-backed, so that people could see at a glance that he was the only general in the army.
When there were still 300 steps away from the camp of the Ma Teng army, this group was intercepted by the sentry cavalry of the Ma Teng army, and the sentry cavalry Du Bo saw that the person headed by the sentry was majestic. Unlike ordinary people, he did not reprimand, but warned: "Ahead is a military place, idle people, etc., not waiting for anyone!" ”
The big man stepped forward and saluted with his fists, and said loudly: "A certain is Wen Hou's tent and folded to the captain Zhou Tai." There is a battle report to be presented to Huaili Hou, and the tired brothers will report it! ”
When the sentry Dubo heard that they were Lu Bu's soldiers, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately nodded and said, "Please wait for a while, the general will go and report this!" After saying that, he reined in his war horse and galloped back to the camp.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the sentry rider Dubo galloped back again, and saluted Zhou Tai with a fist: "General, my lord is invited!" ”
So under the leadership of the Sentinel Dub. The group quickly walked towards the gate.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng was discussing with Pang De how to attack Zhiyang, and after a while, several guards led Zhou Tai to hurry over, Ma Teng looked up and immediately greeted him: "Haha, General Youping, I haven't seen you for a few months." You're tougher! ”
Zhou Tai didn't dare to slack off, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Zhou Tai greets General Ma!" ”
Ma Teng said: "What's wrong? Math is missing. Why does General Youping seem so rusty? ”
Zhou Tai immediately shook his head: "The general is too worried, the military camp is a military important place, and Tai does not dare to cross it!" ”
This is what Chen Gong warned them a long time ago, they can fight each other in private, but when they go to the barracks and on the battlefield, they must be respectful and orderly. Although Zhou Tai was reckless, he also listened to Chen Gong's words.
Sure enough, after listening to what Zhou Tai said, Ma Teng nodded with a straight face: "General Youping is reasonable, but I don't know what good news Youping has brought me?" ”
Zhou Tai hurriedly took out the fish scale letter box from his arms and handed it to Ma Teng. Ma Teng took it easily, shook out the letter inside, opened it, and said with great joy: "Okay, I didn't expect General Wei Yan to be so powerful, he actually captured Yan Xing alive, and defeated all the soldiers and horses on Han Sui's Western Front, so that Han Sui completely became a lonely army!" ”
Ma Teng thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Fengxian now?" ”
"At this time, the troops are being broken, and they will be able to drive to Yunwu City in a few days!"
Zhou Tai hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "General, my lord said that you should be careful of Cheng Gongying!" ”
"Cheng Gongying?" Ma Teng was puzzled for a moment, and wondered: "Why?" ”
It is true that Cheng Gongying is Han Sui's former general, but at this moment, tens of thousands of troops are surrounding Zhiyang tightly, will Cheng Gongying still rebel?
Zhou Tai looked at Ma Teng and said with a smile: "Jia Junshi said that Cheng Gongying is quite loyal, if Han Sui breaks through from him, I guarantee that Cheng Gongying will not let Han Sui go in the past!" ”
Ma Teng's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it? Cheng Gongying Although his martial arts are not very good, but he is particularly righteous, if it wasn't for Han Sui who killed his family, maybe he would have fought with himself to the death, when he and Han Sui fought for control of the north, the two sides fought fiercely in the field, Cheng Yinggong was ordered to guard the Shooting Gu Mountain, cut off Ma Teng's retreat, who would have thought that Ma Teng actually turned defeat into victory, defeated Han Sui in Yuzhi, and drove Han Sui to the area of Pengyang, Cheng Yinggong suddenly became a lone army.
Cheng Ying Gong wanted to fight to the death, but unfortunately Han Sui doubted Cheng Gongying's loyalty, and at the instigation of his staff, Cheng Gongying's family was killed in the downtown area, Cheng Gongying was angry, led 20,000 Xiliang troops to surrender to Ma Teng, became a general under Ma Teng's account, was ordered to garrison the north, and became a warlord.
And this time Cheng Yin saw that Han Sui's general trend had gone, so he and Cheng Gongying jointly sent troops, blocked in Yuzhong on the order of Ma Teng, and cut off Han Sui's retreat to the east, if it is really as Lu Bu said, I am afraid that this Cheng Gongying will really let Han Sui go.
Ma Teng kept tapping his index finger on the table, and Zhengse said: "If it weren't for Feng Xian's words, he would have almost made a big mistake!" ”
"Ling Ming, you immediately rush to Yuzhong and take over the military power of Cheng Ying Gong and Cheng Yin!"
Pound's majestic body stepped forward and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Tai, turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Ma Teng saw Pang De leaving, his heart was a little settled, and then he said to Zhou Tai with a smile: "Youping, Ling Ming goes to Yuzhong, there are no more generals in our army, can you stay in our army to help me first, and when Zhiyang City is broken, how about you go back?" ”
Zhou Tai was a little embarrassed, and he stayed in Ma Teng's army without asking for instructions, for fear that it would cause criticism.
Ma Teng seemed to know Zhou Tai's difficulties, and immediately got up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Youping, I'll leave a letter to Fengxian now, I think he also knows my difficulties." ”
Zhou Taidao: "So. It's better to be respectful than to obey! ”
In Zhiyang City, Ma Teng's army was arrayed in the wilderness, which made the people of the whole city panic, and it had not been a war for so long that people had an inexplicable fear of war, which was to kill people in the wilderness. The tragedy of the massacre of the city made them feel extremely frightened in their hearts, and Han Sui blocked the four gates, and no one was allowed to leave the city, which made them almost in despair.
All kinds of rumors spread in Zhiyang City, saying that Han Sui wanted the people to act as soldiers to defend the city, otherwise, they would be slaughtered, and Han Sui's nerves were tense like a string at this time. How can there be time to refute rumors, let all kinds of rumors hit the hearts of the people, and let panic spread in Zhiyang City.
Han Sui stood on the city wall with his hands in his hands, looking at the camp of the star chess Luobu outside the city, and couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. If he can start all over again, he will not hesitate to support Yadan and Cherrigi. Even if you fight to the death with Lu Bu, you have to kill Ma Teng, but now, it is useless for you to regret it.
"Lord, there are messages in this city, should we refute the rumors?" A staff member behind Han Sui stepped forward and said.
"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. I didn't expect Ma Teng to use this trick! Han Sui did not answer directly, but talked to himself alone.
The staff frowned, and said in his heart: "Xiaoxiong is strange, shouldn't I plan a way out for myself?" ”
Although he thought so in his heart, he said, "My lord." When to break out? ”
Han Sui turned his head and glanced at the staff, and said unhurriedly: "I'll talk about it when Yanming comes!" ”
Although Han Sui is ruthless, he loves Yan Xing from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he is Han Sui's son-in-law, with Yan Xing's martial arts alone, he can't find a second one in the entire Xiliang, not even the general Pang De under Ma Teng's tent, as for Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, maybe he can fight with Yan Xing in his prime, but now he can't, so Yan Xing is the first person in Xiliang who deserves it, if you want to make a comeback, this Yan Xing is a big help.
"I'm afraid that General Yan will suffer an accident, even if he can come, this mountain is full of Ma Teng's men and horses, how can he kill him?" While slandering in his heart, the staff carefully offered his plan.
Han Sui's heart sank, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he was very unhappy with the tone of the staff's speech, and he also heard the dissatisfaction in the staff's tone, Han Sui smelled the strangeness.
Seeing that Han Sui didn't answer, the staff member was a little displeased, and immediately bowed down and retreated, but at the moment when he turned around, Han Sui drew his sword and stabbed into the staff member's body with lightning speed: "Do you want to surrender Ma Teng?" ”
The staff slowly turned around, looked at Han Sui incredulously, stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Sui and trembled: "Han Wenyue, you... Good, good... Poison! ”
Han Sui smiled coldly, pulled out his sword, and ordered the guards on the left and right to throw the bodies of the staff members into the city.
"Woooooooooo
At that moment, a whimpering horn suddenly sounded outside the city, followed by the rumbling of war drums.
Han Sui squinted, held the battlements in his hands, and looked out of the city with a solemn expression.
Outside the city, the military camp stretched for dozens of miles, countless armor soldiers shouted, the sound was like rolling thunder, like thunder and lightning rushing, leisurely, with the sound of the horn, in a military camp directly west of the city, suddenly a war drum came, Han Sui clenched the hilt of the sword, and watched intently.
Countless armor soldiers came out of the barracks, divided into two phalanxes, one column is the Han army, the other column is the Qiang soldiers, is clearly lined up out, a huge yellow tooth flag in the wind, the word "horse" embroidered vigorously and powerfully, the flag in a person big horse golden knife, is Ma Teng.
Han Sui retracted his thoughts, and when Ma Teng drove the army to the city, he immediately shouted: "Brother Shoucheng, you have been waiting for this moment for a long time!" ”
The flag of the Xiliang Army was opened, and Ma Teng rode out of the battle, pointing at Han Sui in the city and scolding: "Yes, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I can't wait to eat your meat and sleep like skin, in order to vent my hatred!" ”
Ma Chao gritted his teeth with hatred on the side: "You colluded with Yadan to slaughter the people of Guzang, Han Sui is an old thief, see where you are fleeing today?" ”
Unexpectedly, Han Sui ignored him at all, but set his eyes on Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, since the kingdom rebelled against the imperial court, you and I have known each other for more than 30 years, and there have been more than 100 battles of all sizes, and we are finally going to see the winner at this moment, but it doesn't matter, Lu Bu enters Kou Xiliang, presumably you will not be lonely in the future!" ”
A gentle word, but the city was suddenly covered with a layer of invisible frost, Lu Bu occupied Hanyang and Longxi two counties, and Ma Teng was the history of Xiliang Thorn, the meaning of Han Sui's words is self-evident, that is, Ma Teng and Lu Bu will have a battle in the future, now the alliance seems to be indestructible, but not necessarily in the future, in troubled times, territory and population are the foundation, so Han Sui is reminding Ma Teng that Lu Bu will be the next Han Sui.
Ma Chao's eyes stood up: "Old thief, Hugh wants to provoke the relationship between my father and Wen Hou!" ”
Han Sui supported the battlement with his arms, his shoulders were towering, like a poisonous snake ready to attack, and his eyes shot directly at Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, I am just a wolf, and Lu Bu is a tiger, you can drive wolves now, but you can't swallow tigers in the future." ”
Ma Teng stroked his beard and smiled, raised his knife and scolded: "Han Sui, my son is reasonable, don't want to sow discord again, today is your death!" ”
After scolding, Ma Teng turned his head and shouted angrily: "The three armies listen to my orders, break through Zhiyang, and kill Han Sui!" ”
Han Sui's eyes flashed, how much ecstasy soup was poured by Ma Teng by Ma Teng, he believed him so much, looked at the dense enemy army like a tide, and waved his sword and pointed: "The enemy army has begun to attack the city, and the three armies listen to my orders, resist the enemy, and wait for battle!" 95 (To be continued......)
