Chapter 134: A Big Victory
The thunderous sound of hooves resounded throughout the city.
In the darkness, the thunderous shouting can be heard far and near, "Those who capture Ma Teng alive will give a hundred acres of land, and ten thousand cattle and sheep!" ”
Whether it is the three thousand old departments or the Yueshi Hu Qi, when they hear this eye-popping reward, they all tear up their voices excitedly and shout, as the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men; Under the heavy profit, there will be a dead man.
Xu Chu led 500 cavalry and was the first to kill the schoolyard.
Unfortunately, it didn't run into Ma Teng.
"How fast is the horseman?"
Xu Chu waved his arm extremely unwillingly and scolded.
There was a tooth general next to him and said: "General, there is a killing sound at the east gate, and Ma Teng's army must have gone to the east gate." ”
"Hurry up, Hugh called Ma Teng away."
Xu Chu didn't say a word when he heard this, and left after beating the horse.
Five hundred horsemen turned their horses and roared to follow.
When they were about to chase to the east gate, they saw that there was a fire in the street ahead, and the sound of killing was deafening.
Hundreds of cavalry hung behind thousands of horsemen and foot soldiers, fighting hard, and the leader of the troops was actually the young general Yan Xing.
As for the streets on both sides, small groups of Ma Teng's army continued to converge and retreat to the east gate.
Yan Xing saw Xu Chu at a glance in the scuffle, and immediately shouted, "General Xu Chu, Ma Teng is here." ”
"Great, kill with so-and-so!"
Xu Chu was overjoyed, immediately roared, and led five hundred horsemen to charge into battle.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, hundreds of horsemen came, and the long street that only killed was stained with blood and ambushed corpses everywhere.
Ma Teng's face was as black as iron, and he did not entangle with Luo Zheng's cavalry, and led thousands of foot soldiers to retreat to the east gate.
"Dead open!"
In the thunderous shouts, Xu Chu took the lead, the fire cloud knife flew up, and there was no enemy everywhere he passed, but the streets were too narrow, and the terrain was limited, and the cavalry's charging power could not be brought into play at all.
"Whew!"
In the dark, a cold arrow shot at him quickly and fiercely.
Xu Chu fiercely crossed the knife in his left hand, reached out with his right hand like lightning and grabbed the arrow dangerously, his fierce and ruthless gaze swept to the left like cold lightning, and at the same time threw the arrow he grabbed as a javelin.
"Ah......h
In the miserable sound, Colonel Ma Tengjun, who was attacked by cold arrows, was directly pierced through the throat.
I only had time to let out a half-miserable howl, half-a whimper.
Seeing this, the nearby Ma Teng soldiers were all shocked and frightened.
Even Ma Teng was taken aback, "This person's courage is not under Ling Ming." ”
A general beside him hurriedly said: "Lord, this is the fierce general Xu Chu under the Luo Zheng account!" ”
"Let's go, don't fight in love!"
Ma Teng waved his hand and led the army to retreat.
Seeing that the east gate was in sight, the more than 1,000 defenders guarding the east gate immediately opened the city to respond.
Ma Teng led more than 2,000 foot soldiers to rush out in a hurry, leaving hundreds of foot soldiers to break off, and blocked more than 1,000 cavalry led by Xu Chu and Yan Xing in the city gate.
"Hugh called Ma Teng away!"
Xu Chu roared loudly, exerted his divine strength, and fought hard with Yan Xing to kill the enemy.
By the time they got out of the east gate, the five thousand Ma Teng cavalry stationed in the right battalion outside the city had already arrived, and Xu Chu and Yan Xing were outnumbered and folded hundreds of horses, so they had to lead the army back to the city and watch Ma Teng lead the army away.
By the time Luo Zheng led his army to arrive, 5,000 cavalry had already escorted the horses away.
The shouting continued for a full night, and it was not until dawn that it gradually subsided.
Luo Zheng cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city, and immediately ordered the army to count the casualties and repair the city defenses.
That night, nearly half of Ma Teng's 20,000-strong army was lost, more than 3,000 were still captured, and less than 7,000 were evacuated from the city.
Fortunately, 10,000 cavalry were stationed outside the city and there were no losses.
Despite this, after Ma Teng counted the casualties, he couldn't help vomiting three liters of blood.
It's too hot, it's too hot.
was attacked in an unknown way, not only did he lose Yungo, but even the 20,000 army was less than 7,000 left.
What's worse is that the army's food, grass and baggage are all in the city.
When I evacuated out of the city in a panic last night, I didn't have time to take away the grain and baggage.
Now that the three armies have no food, and many soldiers don't even have weapons, let alone counterattack Yunwu, if we don't find a way to get the military rations needed by the army, otherwise after three days, once the food is exhausted, the army is afraid that there will be a danger of mutiny.
Such grievances, such disasters, are unprecedented.
Since Ma Teng's army, he has never fought such an aggrieved battle.
It's nothing to lose a battle, but it's the first time that the defeat is so unclear and unclear.
Even if Ma Teng thought about it, he couldn't understand how Luo Zheng's army of 10,000 people was hiding in the city.
Yungo, General Pingdi's Mansion.
Luo Zheng sat at the top of the dilapidated lobby, his brows tightly twisted together.
Xun Yu, Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Wu Xi, Xu Chu, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Yin Cheng, Li Qiu, Yan Xing and other civil and military officers were on both sides.
The generals were all excited, and Xun Yu and Cheng Ying frowned.
Although this time he successfully attacked Ma Teng's army and caused Ma Teng to suffer heavy losses, the price paid was not small.
If nothing else, there are countless destroyed houses in Yungo City alone.
Even Luo Zheng's General Pingdi Mansion was almost in ruins.
Although this loss is not a big deal at all, just re-trim it. However, a large amount of surplus labor had to be distributed among the people, and there was not much money in the treasury at all.
"Kill a thousand, lose eight hundred!"
After a while, Luo Zheng rubbed his brows and sighed.
Xun Yu said: "This is also something that can't be helped, but fortunately, it successfully hit Ma Teng's army, and our army only paid some money and silver, and the army did not have many casualties." This great victory is all due to the lord's public soldiers like gods! ”
All the civil and military officers nodded in agreement, and if they could inflict heavy damage on Ma Teng's army, this loss was indeed nothing.
Luo Zheng sighed lightly, this time he was able to sneak attack and severely damage Ma Teng's army, and the vegetable garden played a vital role.
If it weren't for the vegetable garden, if you wanted to break Ma Teng's army, how could it be so easy to force Ma Teng to retreat.
Once the war drags on in the future, Jincheng will not be in trouble for a long time.
"What's going on with the Marten army?"
Luo Zheng turned around a few times, then cleared his throat and asked.
The scout replied, "Ma Teng's army has withdrawn to Jincheng. ”
Li Meng hurriedly said: "My lord, the grain and baggage of Ma Teng's army were all lost in the city, and it was too late to take them away, so the three armies must have no food, so they withdrew in a hurry." If our army takes advantage of the victory to pursue, it will definitely be able to break the Ma Teng army in one fell swoop, and the unification of Liangzhou is just around the corner. ”
Xu Chu, Wang Fang and other generals nodded their heads in agreement, all of them refreshed and excited.
Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Wu Xi, Yan Xing, etc. were also quite moved, this was indeed a good time to break Ma Teng in one fell swoop.
Only Xun Yu's eyes were sad and he didn't say a word.
Luo Zheng looked around at everyone, his eyes fell on Xun Yu, and asked, "What does Wen Ruo think?" ”
