Chapter 44 Ma Chao and his Xiliang Iron Horse
Liangzhou.
Ma Teng and Han Sui led the generals around them to get together.
"The latest battle report, Longxi Xu Rong was defeated, and Dong Zhuo has sent the tiger Lu Bu beside him over." Ma Teng said with a smile.
Han Sui clapped his hands and applauded, and said: "The end of the Dong thief has come, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the past have not destroyed him, and today, this credit will fall on the heads of the brothers!" I don't know what the virtuous brother has in mind, let's hear it? ”
Ma Teng smiled: "There is only one obstacle in front of us, and that is martial arts!" As long as the martial arts city is broken, Guanzhong is like a big girl who has stripped naked in front of us. ”
"It seems that the virtuous brother already has a plan!" Han Sui said with a smile.
Ma Teng spit out four words unhurriedly: "Surprise attack martial arts!" ”
"Surprise martial arts? Virtuous brother, Dong Zhuojun of martial arts is very wary of us, as long as we have the slightest movement, they will know the way, so as to make a tight defense, how easy is it to surprise attack! Han Sui said worriedly.
Ma Teng smiled: "As long as the speed is fast enough, all this is not a problem!" ”
"Speed? Brother Xian, do you want to use cavalry? But it is very difficult to attack the city with cavalry! Han Sui guessed Ma Teng's thoughts.
Ma Teng said with a smile: "Big brother, I have already prepared for this, for this day, I have been preparing for a long time, in Wugong City, there are currently a hundred of my cronies lurking, and when the soldiers arrive, they will set fire everywhere as an internal response." And this cavalry, I train day and night, whether it is immediately kung fu or siege the city, I am very confident! ”
Han Sui said: "Dare to ask, what is different about this cavalry?" ”
"Big brother, you can go with me to visit, I'll let you see and see!" Ma Teng stood up and smiled.
The two of them took the generals to the Dianjiangtai and looked towards the martial arts training ground.
"Drum sound!" Ma Teng said.
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
After three drum sounds.
The earth began to tremble slightly, and dust rolled up in the distance.
A black line has appeared!
"What is this?" Han Sui was so shocked that he was sweating profusely, and it was a cavalry that appeared, but he had never seen such a cavalry.
"Stop!"
With a loud shout, the cavalry stopped neatly.
"Array!" Another loud shout.
The scattered cavalry quickly formed a phalanx.
In the formation, three knights came out.
The first person is majestic and handsome, the one next to him is ordinary-looking, but very strong, and the other has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is burly.
Han Sui saw the solemn cavalry in front of him, and his heart was terrified, when it came to cavalry, he knew very well that most of Xiliang's army was composed of cavalry, but he had never seen such a cavalry, even the cavalry taken away by Dong Zhuo's old thief from Xiliang was not as murderous as in front of him!
These cavalrymen were dressed in steel armor and armed with weapons that resembled spears and not spears, and there were many high-nosed and deep-eyed men with colorful hair and tall and muscular bodies.
"Brother Xian, this cavalry is amazing!" Han Sui praised in surprise.
Ma Teng smiled: "Big brother, they are amazing, you haven't seen them yet!" I can say that I have invested all these years of net worth for this cavalry! Meng Qi, you rehearse it for Uncle Han to see! ”
"No!" Hold your fists for the first knight.
Meng Qi? If Lu Bu is here now, he will definitely be surprised, although Ma Teng has no ability, he gave birth to an extraordinary son, Ma Chao.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao's courage was famous, Cao Cao, who was killed in Tongguan, cut his beard and robe, and shocked the world, but later his luck was bad, and he fell into Cao Cao's discordant plan, and he was defeated and fled, and fell to Zhang Lu's side.
By Zhang Lu's side, Ma Chao was not reused, and was often suspicious of Zhang Lu, and he had nowhere to show his skills, and later returned to Liu Bei, and soon died young, and a generation of generals fell! It's a pity that Ma Chao's ability was just about to shine, and he passed away, leaving endless sighs.
"Kill!"
Ma Chao held the order flag in his hand to give instructions.
A pair of horsemen burst out of the ranks and moved lightning in one direction, and in that direction there were ten straw men, separated in all directions.
"Shoot!"
When the cavalry was a hundred paces away from the straw man, he threw his weapon out of the wood.
Ten cavalry, ten guns, ten straw men.
"Thorn stabbing ······!"
Ten straw men fell from the ten guns, and they were in the chest, and the heads of the guns were inserted deep into the ground.
"Scared!" Han Sui's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, he was deeply shocked by this kind of attack, he had never seen this kind of attack, the cavalry equipment was heavily equipped, and it also used the phalanx formation that only infantry would use, and the weapons used in his hands had never been seen before, he could actually throw a crossbowman, this was completely the way to use a crossbowman!
"Ha Luha, practice well, but when you get to the battlefield, those enemies will not obediently stay where they are, waiting for you to kill, come here, prepare ten horses, put the straw men, and drive them up!" Ma Teng ordered.
The soldiers followed Ma Teng's instructions, selected ten horses, put straw men, trapped them in a horse farm, and whipped them fiercely on the horses, and the horses ran away in pain.
"Shoot again!"
Ma Chao said.
Ten horsemen moved again.
The difference this time is that the straw man has moved, and the difficulty has increased significantly.
Another gust of wind.
"Thorn stabbing ······!"
All ten straw men were shot down, and all the spears were stuck in the ground.
Han Sui's mouth opened wide, and he was stunned by this way of attacking.
"Big brother, my cavalry is not only these few moments, let's see it here today, when we go to the battlefield another day, you will see the real power of this cavalry, I want Dong Zhuo to know that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry around him are actually vulnerable." Ma Teng laughed.
Han Sui wiped the sweat on his face and asked, "Brother Xian, my brother doesn't understand a little, how did you form this cavalry, why are there so many of them that I have never seen before?" What is that weapon called? And why does it seem that there are many of this cavalry who are not our Han Chinese! But it's not much like a Hu person! ”
Ma Teng said triumphantly: "Big brother, that weapon was introduced by me from the barbarians in the West, what is it called Javelin, and where did the blue-eyed and blue-haired people you see come from, what does their country seem to be called Rome?" ”
Han Sui nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to what Dong Zhuo's old thief will show when he sees this cavalry?" ”
Ma Teng smiled: "What expression?" When he sees this cavalry, it will be his end! ”
"I'm going to use this cavalry to surprise martial arts." Ma Teng continued.
In the big tent.
Ma Teng and Han Sui looked excited.
"My nephew is really a dragon and phoenix among people!" Han Sui looked at Ma Chao and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ma Chao said with a smile: "Uncle Xie Han's praise, Meng Qi doesn't dare to take it." ”
"Regarding my nephew's fame among Qiang and Rong, I have also heard that those people call you - General Shenweitian, those barbarians have never been in their eyes, and they can call their nephews like this, which shows the courage of their nephews." Han Sui glanced at Ma Teng and said.
"Surprise attack martial arts, this is the key to whether we can enter the customs and achieve great things, Meng Qi, you must not let us down!" Ma Teng said earnestly.
"Daddy, rest assured, Meng Qi will live up to your and Uncle Han's expectations." Ma Chao said with a smile.
That night, Ma Chao returned to his tent and called the two people who were standing beside him during the day.
"Bo Zhan, Ling Yu, this is a great time for you and me to become famous in the Central Plains, we must fight our prestige, so this battle can only be won, not defeated!" Ma Chao instructed.
One of these two people is called Ma Dai, and the other is called Pang De, both of whom are powerful generals around Ma Chao, and they formed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with Ma Chao to conquer Qiangrong.
The 10,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen were ready to go, and after Ma Chao gave an order, they rushed towards the martial arts.
Martial Arts City.
Because they did not receive orders from their superiors, the defenders of Wugong City were very lax in their defense, and when the earth trembled, some of the defenders noticed that something was wrong, and they hurriedly beat the war drums and shouted: "The enemy is coming!" The enemy is coming! ”
The small workers lurking in the city moved at the same time, setting fire to all directions, and the entire martial arts city became a chaotic place, and some people came to the city gate, killed the soldiers guarding the city gate, and pushed the city gate open.
"Kill!"
The Xiliang Iron Riders shouted in unison, resounding through the night.
The guards in the martial arts trembled.
"Hurry up, kill those fine works, close the city gates, these are cavalry, they won't attack the city at all!" The guard shouted loudly. He was now half frightened to death, and it was as if the strange force had fallen from the sky without warning.
"Whoosh."
There was a cracking sound, and countless guards fell, and without exception, they were all stabbed to the ground with a javelin.
When those Xiliang soldiers saw this scene, they still had any thoughts of fighting, and they fled with their heads in their hands, for fear that he would be the next one to be stabbed to death.
Ma Chao led the crowd to rush into the martial arts city.
"You shit, resist it! Street fighting is not good for cavalry, we can take advantage of the opportunity to trap them in the city! The guard shouted, waving his sword incessantly.
"Brothers, we are our own family! I'm also from Xiliang, please don't kill me! I give up! ”
"Surrender! I also surrendered, and I also came out of Xiliang. ”
······
The Xiliang soldiers in the city originally wanted to resist, but before they reached the side of the cavalry, they were stabbed to death by the broken javelins, and when they saw this, they were so frightened that they fell on the ground and shouted surrender.
"I'm! You spineless things, how did the Taishi treat you? You're going to surrender! The guards scolded the soldiers who had surrendered.
"You're a martial arts guard? Okay, you are so bold, I'll give you a chance, pick up your weapons, let's have a fight, as long as you win, I'll withdraw from Lu! Ma said loudly.
"Huh?" Seeing Ma Chao's fierce murderous aura, the guard saw that the spear in his hand was stained with blood, he trembled, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I have long seen that Dong Zhuo is unhappy, I surrender!" ”
"Humph!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, turned around, and suddenly, he turned around sharply and threw the spear in his hand fiercely.
"Poof!"
Bloodstained night.
"I hate the weak the most!" Ma Chao said coldly.

According to historical records, the Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Chao imitated the West, and there were indeed Romans in his troops.
