"My lord, great joy!"
Cheng Ying hurriedly walked up to the hall and said loudly: "Just now, Xun Yu sent someone to report that the eldest lady gave birth to a son. ”
"What?"
Luo Zheng was stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.
The generals and Jia Xu were overjoyed, and they all applauded.
Luo Zheng's heart was complicated and indescribable for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
After living for two lifetimes and being a father for the first time, the feeling is indeed difficult to describe, and I understand the concept of family for the first time.
After going through the bloody storm, I suddenly found that I had a heavy responsibility on my shoulders.
At this moment, Luo Zheng also understood how important a son was to his career.
There is no successor, who is willing to follow you to fight the world.
Seeing the joy on the faces of the civil and military officers, Luo Zheng also smiled and said slowly: "Okay, it is indeed good news, from today onwards, this general also has a son, and there are successors, it is indeed worth celebrating." Sue the soldiers, the hangover order for one day. ”
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison, and no one objected, whether it was a strategist or a general.
Jia Xu paused, and arched his hand: "General, now that the slaughter of Hu is broken, Ma Teng and Lu Bugou are severely breathing, why don't the generals let the soldiers work harder, sweep away Ma and Lu with thunder, and completely pacify Liangzhou." ”
Luo Zheng nodded and said, "General Ben has this intention, but who can defend Wuwei?" ”
Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Luo Zheng would be happy to have a son, lose his enterprising spirit, and want the class teacher to return to Yunwu, but he would miss this great opportunity in vain. Busy said: "General Zhao Yun is both civil and military, and he can defend his martial arts!" ”
Cheng Ying also nodded in agreement, and the current martial arts are unstable. Zhao Yun is indeed the best candidate to defend Wuwei.
Luo Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "That's it." Zhao Yun listened to the order. ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped out and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”
Luo Zheng said: "I ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the mighty army, eliminate bandits, and pacify the people, there must be no mistakes." ”
Zhao Yun said loudly: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Luo Zheng stood up and said, "The rest of the generals will command the soldiers and horses of their headquarters and go out with this general!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals, Jia Xu and Cheng Ying hurriedly got up and answered loudly.
Luo Zheng slowed down his tone and said, "Sue the soldiers." Work harder, and when Ma Teng and Lu Bu are wiped out, General Ben will give them a holiday to rest. As long as Liangzhou is completely pacified, the pastures and cattle and sheep promised to them by General Ben will be fulfilled. ”
Yan Xing said in a sonorous voice: "Rest assured, my lord, only a few soldiers occasionally complain, and they are not war-weary!" ”
Luo Zheng said happily: "That's fine, go and prepare, send troops tomorrow morning!" ”
The generals waved their hands again, and then Yuguan retreated.
Suixian, Ma Teng's official residence.
"Father!"
Ma Chao hurried into the inner hall. Xiang Ma Teng arched his hand and said: "There are only three days' food left in the army." ”
"Alas!"
Ma Teng let out a long sigh and asked, "Are there any soldiers in the army making trouble?" ”
Ma Chao replied: "In the past few days, only one pot has been opened every day, and there have just been soldiers. The child has been pressed down. ”
Ma Teng muttered: "It's not a way to go on like this!" ”
Ma Chao was angry and said loudly: "Father, it's better to go out of the city and fight to the death with Gao Shun Pifu!" ”
Ma Teng nodded, and then said with loneliness: "I don't want to be a hero of Ma Teng, but now I am trapped in a lonely city and have fallen to such a point." The matter has come to this point, and there is only one way to fight to the death with Gao Shun. My son can be ordered to be his father's 800 iron guards, and when his father goes out of the city to fight Gao Shun, he will take the opportunity to break through to Hanzhong. Defect to Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu! ”
"What?"
Ma Chao was shocked, and then said in a condensed voice: "How can the child leave his father and run for his life alone." If you want to walk together, the child must protect the father, mother, and younger siblings. Fight your way out! ”
Ma Teng muttered: "If no one breaks the queen, how can you escape the pursuit of Gao Shun's three thousand cavalry!" ”
Ma Chao said loudly: "Then let the child lead an army to break through, and his father will lead eight hundred iron guards to break through!" ”
"Stupid!"
Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "For the eight-foot body of the father, how can there be a reason to give up the son to escape for his life." Moreover, if his father led the army to break through, Gao Shun would definitely send his elite soldiers to pursue. Only after leaving a break for his father can my son have a chance to escape. ”
"This ......"
Ma Chao was speechless, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and his handsome face became hideous.
Ma Teng sighed, got up and patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and said, "If your father unfortunately dies in battle, my son must take good care of your mother and brothers, and you must not be competitive." Today, Zhang Lu and Liu Yan are facing each other, and Wu'er is going to help in the battle, so I can take him in. ”
"The child obeys!"
Ma Chao's face was gloomy, and he retreated with a wave of his hand.
As soon as the sun set, it got dark.
The south gate of Longxian County was opened, and the team of foot soldiers came out, holding torches and lined up on the spot.
Ma Tengrong was dressed in armor and had already come to the front of the battle, and his crotch was solemn.
A hundred steps away, a few scouts probed the horses, and reported the news to Gao Shun's army.
"Are you finally going to break through?"
Gao Shun resolutely did not move, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the movement of the other three gates?" ”
The scout colonel replied: "Back to the general, there is no movement in the other three gates!" ”
Gao Shun's thick eyebrows are frowning, it is certain that Ma Teng is going out of the city at night this time, most of them are going to desperately break through, but the open fire is stubbornly assembled at the south gate, it must be a pretense to cover the soldiers and horses who break out of the city.
It's just that except for the south gate, the other three gates have no movement, but it is difficult to determine which gate Ma Teng broke through.
Gao Shun groaned slightly, and then said: "You should quickly gather soldiers and horses, follow a certain to block Ma Teng, and at the same time let the scouts pay close attention to the movements of the other three gates, but if there is any trouble, you can come to report, do not let Ma Teng escape." ”
"Order!"
The generals responded with a bang, hurriedly got up and went out of the tent, and gathered the soldiers and horses.
At the south gate of Longxian County, more than 4,000 foot soldiers quickly opened out of the city gate and completed the formation.
Ma Teng gave the order, and the two thousand sword and axe soldiers immediately extinguished their torches, took up the sandbags and went straight to the trench two hundred paces away.
However, when he was within fifty paces, he could no longer hide his tracks, for there were torches on the edge of the trench. The five hundred archers who had been waiting for a long time would not be polite, and immediately poured down a rain of arrows under black pressure.
In the terrible scream, the sword and axe soldiers who rushed to the front immediately fell into a large area.
After a rain of arrows. After paying nearly 500 casualties, Ma Teng's army finally rushed to the edge of the trench, and more than 1,000 sandbags were thrown into the three-zhang wide trench. Immediately, the ditch was filled in with a section nearly five zhang long.
"Kill it!"
Ma Teng had already come to the front of the formation, roared, and personally rushed forward to kill.
By this time, five hundred archers had already withdrawn, and a platoon of spearmen quickly crossed the line.
Just when the south gate was blazing and the sound of killing was everywhere, the west gate of Longxian County quietly opened.
A group of cavalry escorted several carriages and rushed out of the city in the dark, heading straight for the northeast corner of Longxian.
More than 200 steps away. On the earthen wall on the outside of the trench, Gao Shun's soldiers, who had been staring at the city gate for a long time, immediately discovered the abnormality, shot a rocket into the air as soon as possible, and shouted loudly, "Ma Teng has broken through from the north gate!" ”
In the dark, Ma Chao led the war horse to walk like a fly, carrying sandbags on the horse's back, and soon rushed to the side of the trench.
Eight hundred guards were quickly removed from their horses and thrown into the trenches.
Ma Chao took the lead and rushed to the earthen wall. He raised his gun with both hands and smashed it down, and the fence buried in the earthen wall was smashed by it, breaking through a gap.
"Kill!"
Ma Chao snorted. Dodging the three spears that stabbed sideways, he immediately raised his spear and swept the three spearmen away.
Eight hundred iron horsemen quickly turned on their horses, rushed up the earthen wall, and swarmed out of the gap opened by Ma Chao.
In the camp at the south gate, Gao Shun stood on a sentry tower with his hands in his hands, watching the battle hundreds of steps away.
"General, there are soldiers and horses breaking through at the north gate!"
Just as the North Gate rocket was taking off, there was a small colonel next to him whose face changed. Hurriedly said loudly.
Gao Shun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Ben also saw it." Order, let Cheng Yi lead 3,000 cavalry to attack! ”
"Order!"
The heralds had already answered loudly. Military orders were quickly issued.
In an instant, the sound of the bull's horn soared into the night sky.
The 3,000 cavalrymen who had been wandering to the left side of the camp immediately turned their horses and ran to the north gate.
Gao Shun waved his hand again and shouted: "Order, the whole army will attack and drive Ma Teng back to the city." ”
"Order!"
The herald responded loudly and quickly passed down the order.
In the sound of earth-shattering war drums, the 4,000 foot soldiers who had long been assembled and ready for action immediately poured out of the nest, and the whole army pressed down.
South Gate.
Ma Teng fought hard, and watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, his eyes couldn't help but split, and his eyes were bloody.
In less than half an hour, a third of the more than 4,000 foot soldiers fell, and less than 3,000 people remained.
Fortunately, a gap was finally torn open.
Ma Teng snorted, and was about to take advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement, when he heard the sound of earth-shattering war drums, and a group of black-pressed foot soldiers rushed out of the Gaoshun camp dozens of steps away again, blocking the way.
"Sons, fight with Gao Shun dog thieves!"
Ma Teng turned his heart sideways and immediately raised his head to the sky and roared.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
The Qiang soldiers are indeed brave and good at fighting, and even in such an unfavorable situation, they still have not lost their fighting spirit.
However, sometimes courage alone is not enough.
Before Ma Teng's shouting was finished, a wave of black and oppressive arrow rain had already swept into the air and fell fiercely.
The Qiang soldiers who were huddled together didn't have time to be happy, and immediately fell down a large area, just killing the red eyes, more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers had long since lost their formation, and the shields were simply tired when they fought in close quarters, and they had already been thrown away.
At this time, Ma Teng's more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers were simply a group of undefended live targets.
With just two rounds of salvos, nearly forty percent of the more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers who were huddled together fell.
"Angry!"
Ma Teng roared, swung his knife and knocked a few powerful arrows away, and said sharply: "Kill it." ”
The Qiang soldiers, who were less than two thousand left, also had red eyes and rushed towards the archers fifty paces away with a loud roar.
Ma Teng took the lead, urging the horse to rush to the front.
On the sentry tower, Gao Shun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The archers retreat, the spearmen attack!" ”
The herald immediately opened his voice and shouted, "The general has an order, the archers stand back, and the spearmen attack!" ”
Soon, the archers withdrew, and two thousand spearmen quickly crossed the line and charged forward.
A sharp spear blade flickered under the reflection of the firelight, reflecting a terrifying cold light, even on the way to charge, the two thousand spearmen still maintained a strict formation, not chaotic at all.
"The Han army is mighty!"
"Victory is won!"
At the sound of the earth-shattering trumpet, the two thousand spearmen and the nearly two thousand Qiang soldiers who broke through Ma Teng collided fiercely.
The terrible screams almost tore people's eardrums, and the two thousand spearmen were just a charge, and the Qiang soldiers who followed Ma Teng and broke through without fear of death fell in a large area, as if they had been scraped by a sickle.
Two thousand spearmen cooperated tacitly, harvesting human lives with astonishing efficiency, and quickly rushed forward.
The corners of Ma Teng's eyes were already cracked, and he fought bravely to cut down the three spearmen, but soon three other spearmen quickly stepped forward to fill the gap, raised their spears and stabbed at Ma Teng at the same time.
"Whew!"
The horse howled and jumped straight back from the horse.
Puff puff......
A series of sharp blades cut through the flesh and sounds, Ma Teng's war horse neighed, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Lord, you can't rush out!"
Some Qiang soldiers rushed to Ma Teng's body covered in blood, and shouted sadly: "It's better to retreat to the city first, and then make plans!" ”
Ma Teng laughed miserably: "At this point, there is no way to survive in the city, only to fight to the death!" ”
At this time, in addition to breaking forward, where can you retreat.
Once you retreat to the city, you will really become a turtle in an urn, and there will be no way to live.
What's more, no matter what, we have to delay time to buy time for the eldest son Ma Chao and his family to break through.
"Kill!"
Ma Teng roared loudly and rushed over with a long knife fearlessly.
