Chapter 127: Temptation
To the sound of earth-shattering war drums, 5,000 foot soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx, holding shields, carrying ladders and sandbags, and under the drive of the warlords, they launched an overwhelming attack on Yunwu. p>
At this moment, fear no longer has any meaning. p>
There is no room for fear on the battlefield, let alone retreat. p>
Dare to be afraid of the battle, and the sword and axe men of the Warlord will never show mercy. p>
Instead of becoming a ghost under the sword of the Overseer, it is better to die on the way to charge, at least to be able to sprout his wife and children. p>
On both sides of Ma Teng's army, there were 5,000 cavalry on each side, protecting two or two wings to contain the Luo Zheng cavalry stationed outside the city. p>
Whether it is cavalry or foot soldiers, almost all of them are composed of blue and blue Qiang people. p>
Ma Teng started with only a few hundred soldiers, thanks to the incomparable prestige of the Ma family among the Qiang people, and then the Qiang tribes continued to vote, and the rest of the Liangzhou warlords rebelled under the Qiang soldiers, so that it has today's scale. p>
The northwest is very cold, and the Qiang people have a strong ability to withstand death. p>
These Qiang soldiers were not afraid of death, braved arrows and stone bullets, and launched a desperate charge towards the city. p>
Luo Zheng was dressed in iron armor and stood proudly at the head of the city under the ring arch of a group of generals. p>
Looking at the Ma Teng soldiers who rushed over under the black pressure, there was a chilling killing intent in his eyes. p>
Wu Xi stood beside Luo Zheng, and seeing that Ma Teng's foot had entered within twenty steps, he raised his right arm violently and waved it down. p>
Two thousand longbows had already been drawn like the moon, and at this moment the bowstring was violently released, and the rain of arrows shot down like rain in an instant, pouring down fiercely on the head of Ma Tengjun who rushed to the city, and the terrible screams rose to the sky in an instant, tearing the sky. p>
"Shoot me hard." p>
Wu Xi ordered loudly, his face congested with excitement. p>
The two thousand longbowmen of the Northern Army were expressionless, their faces were cold like zombies, like emotionless machine Qì people, divided into two and alternately opened their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows that were pulled out and pressed by one kept pouring down on Ma Tengjun's head. p>
Although the 5,000 horse soldiers were covered by sword and shield soldiers, there were still soldiers who were knocked to the ground by the arrows. p>
finally rushed to the bottom of the city, and was knocked over on his back by the rolling wood and stones that fell from the sky. p>
After paying a heavy price, the Ma Teng army finally filled in a section of the moat. p>
At this time, the war drums of Ma Tenghou's army changed again, and less than half of the more than 2,000 foot soldiers who were left immediately withdrew. p>
The second group of 5,000 foot soldiers quickly pressed up, stepped on the corpse of the robe, and charged the city again. p>
It was noon, but the soldiers had no time to rest, let alone eat. p>
Five thousand horses took off the ladder to the head of the city, and quickly climbed up against the rolling wood and stones, and met with the elite soldiers of the northern army in the city, and fought hard to kill, but before they could gain a firm foothold, they were quickly driven off the city. p>
The Northern Army is the most elite central official army of the Han Empire, and it is a real iron-blooded army in a hundred battles. p>
The elite of the 5,000 Northern Army, which was responsible for defending the city, could be said to be the last elite of the Han Empire. p>
These soldiers are all butchers who crawled out of the pile of dead, their blood has long been cold, not only has an unimaginable ability to withstand death, but also kills people without mercy, cold-blooded and efficient. p>
Under the leadership of the team leader and Duber, the calm reaper's life is like a lifeless machine. p>
In the rear of the Ma Teng army, on a sentry tower. p>
"This is Luo Zhengxiao'er, the last elite officer army of the imperial court?" p>
Ma Teng's face was calm, his gaze at the head of the city was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I have long heard that the Northern Army is the most elite Chinese military army in the imperial court. There are only 5,000 people, and if it is doubled, this general Yunwu Ben will not have to fight. ”p>
Pang De said in a condensed voice: "The Northern Army is really the elite of the world, it seems that if you want to break Yunwu, our army will have to pay a heavy price!" ”p>
Ma Teng said: "Don't worry, Luo Zheng'er won't last long, and our army doesn't have to fight him." When the 30,000 Qiang soldiers of Yunnan Zero kill Yunwu, then Yunwu will be in a lonely city, and I will see how long Luo Zheng'er can be trapped! ”p>
Pound reminded: "Lord, with Luo Zheng'er's style of acting, he may not sit still!" ”p>
Ma Teng said awe-inspiringly: "What Ling Ming reminded is that this matter has to be prevented. ”p>
When the sun was about to set, Ma Teng decisively ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. p>
In just one day, the casualties exceeded 3,000, which is not unmistakable. p>
Yungo is a hard bone to gnaw, and if you don't break a mouth full of teeth, you can't gnaw it at all. p>
Fortunately, Ma Teng didn't plan to attack Yunwu in the first place, and this time he waved his army to attack the city, but it was just a tentative reality. As long as the 30,000 Qiang soldiers of Yunnan Zero kill Yunwu, then the iron wall will be encircled, and Yunwu will be a lonely city, and he will be able to defend it for a long time. p>
Yungo Castle Head. p>
Luo Zheng looked at the horses vacating like a tide, and a cold smile couldn't help but bloom at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly, he suddenly turned his head and asked Cheng Ying, who was in charge of collecting intelligence next to him, "Is there any change in the army?" ”p>
Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "There are a few Qiang soldiers who are unwilling to tear up with Ma Teng's army, but there are no Qiang soldiers who make trouble. ”p>
Luo Zheng nodded. 'Hmm' and said, "That's good!" ”p>
Xun Yu groaned: "Lord, it's not a way to stick to Yunwu!" ”p>
Luo Zheng said confidently: "Wen Ruo rest assured, General Ben didn't think about trapping Yunwu." Our army has more than 20,000 cavalry, and there are only 5,000 elite infantry soldiers of the Northern Army. General Ben started from cavalry and grew up in cavalry, how could he make such a low-level mistake. ”p>
Xun Yu said: "The cavalry of our army is twice that of the Ma Teng cavalry, and the lord should make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to the strong mobility of the cavalry." Although the 5,000 officers and men of the Northern Army were weak, it was not a problem to hold Yunwu for ten days and half a month. ”p>
Wu Xi was also busy saying: "Don't worry, the lord is assured, but the end of the sect will have his life, and he will not let the Ma Teng rebels cross the thunder pool by half a step." ”p>
Luo Zheng said happily: "This general is naturally very relieved to the soldiers of the Northern Army, but how to give full play to the advantages of our cavalry and repel the Ma Teng rebels still needs to be considered in the long run. Let's go back to the house first, and wait for the general to be convened to discuss it, and then make a decision. ”p>
"Yes." p>
All the civil and military forces agreed in unison. p>
As soon as Luo Zheng threw off his cloak, he prepared to go home. p>
At this moment, a scout colonel suddenly rushed to the top of the city. p>
"Lord, Linqiang is in a hurry!" p>
Xiao Xiao ran quickly to Luo Zheng's approach, and didn't have time to catch his breath before he gave up. p>
"Linqiang urgent?" p>
Luo Zheng's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak quickly." ”p>
The colonel said quickly: "General Gao Shun sent a quick report to Malai, our army has arrived in Linqiang, and 30,000 Qiang soldiers have already passed the valley, and General Gao Shun has led the army into Linqiang." In terms of time, the Qiang rebels are afraid that they have arrived in Linqiang. ”p>
"The Xihai Qiang soldiers are coming so fast!" p>
Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and his face instantly became gloomy. p>
The faces of all the civil and military forces behind him also changed in unison, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts. p>
