Chapter 323: Annihilation
Ma Dai looked coldly at the struggling Wu Kezhuang, hundreds of followers died tragically in Jincheng, and the life and death of Xiliang's family were uncertain, all this was just the beginning.
No one sympathized with Wu Kezhuang, and the Di people were even more happy to see it, letting it scream and roll, spilling its internal organs on the ground, and rolling out more than ten steps before it was angry.
The screams frightened the other Qiang people into beating their horses and galloping wildly, and many of them fell into the swamp again, and before they could retreat to the edge of the grassland, they were all wiped out.
In just one hour, there was silence on the grassland, and if it weren't for the mud on the grassland, the Qiang people seemed to have never appeared, and there was not even a single human with horsehair left.
Ma Dai carried Wu Kezhuang's head back to the camp, and the horse also belonged to Ma Chao, although it was not as good as the original Dawan horse, but it was enough to show its majesty.
There was a cheer in the camp of the Di people, and Ah Gui called the two leaders, inquired about the battle, and slapped his forehead: "Stupid, why didn't this king think of it?" β
Sure enough, as Xu Shu expected, this battle was very important for the soldiers to boost morale and unite the morale of the soldiers, and everyone was convinced by Xu Shu and obeyed his words.
In the evening, the camp was full of jubilation, and in the steaming copper pots and stone pots, large pieces of beef and mutton were boiled, ten roasted whole sheep and two roasted whole cows, which rattled on the fire and overflowed with aroma.
Ah Gui held the mare's milk wine and saluted Ma Chao and Xu Shu: "If it weren't for the arrival of the two of us, I'm afraid we would have to sink forever until we die, from now on, we will become stronger and stronger!" β
Ma Chao laughed and said: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to Xu Junshi's dispatch, it will be easy to deal with those stupid Qiang people, even if Han Sui comes, he will not be able to eat and walk around." β
Xu Shu said to everyone: "Although the first Qiang people have been wiped out, they must have contact with each other, the front army has found us, and the rear army will arrive soon, so we should not be careless." β
Ma Dai nodded and said: "The military advisor is reasonable, Han Sui came out of the nest this time, just because he was worried that we would raise troops to take revenge, and all this has just begun!" β
Xu Shu said: "Although Han Sui has many soldiers, but the mountains south of the Tao River are surrounded, the terrain is steep, I expect that its grain and grass are insufficient, especially the Qiang people, all rely on robbery and plunder, as long as they are lured into Baishi Mountain, let the army of 100,000 is in vain." β
Ah Gui hugged his fists and said: "Everything has been arranged, the military advisor can rest assured, the Qiang people dare to chase them into the mountains, and promise that they will not return." β
Xu Shu nodded slightly, and said: "Since Huan Ling, the imperial court has declined, the Central Plains is turbulent, not to mention the Huyi in the four places, the northern Kebineng has become a climate, and the army is rising, and now the Qiang people are also ready to move." We waited for this time to send troops, not only to save ourselves, but also to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court and establish prestige for the Han family. β
Everyone was very happy, especially Agui and several Di leaders, they knew that as a small tribe on the margins, it was even more difficult to leave a name in history than to let them rebel and become emperors, but this time they were gone!
Early the next morning, the scouts came to report, and sure enough, the enemy could not contact the Qiang people, so they immediately tracked down the road and found clues.
By this time the sentry horses had already arrived in the vicinity, and were wandering in the distance, presumably the army would soon arrive.
Xu Shu ordered the account to be raised, and the personnel and horses of each department had already been dispatched, in addition to Ma Chao's generals, those Di generals were also high-spirited.
Ah Gui couldn't wait: "Master Xu, hurry up and give the order, my big knife is already hungry and thirsty." β
From helping the war to avenge the war to making meritorious contributions to future generations and making a name for posterity, these are completely two mentalities, and some people even ask for war with the attitude of generously dying and killing.
Xu Shu said: "The thief army has been chasing us for many days, and when we find traces this time, we will definitely move the nest, and if we win this battle, we can lead Han Sui to the mountains." β
"Master Xu, this king wants to see all the Qiang cavalry fall to the ground now!"
Ah Gui rubbed his hands excitedly, those arrangements were extremely lethal to the cavalry, but he was reluctant to try his mount, and he couldn't wait to see the results.
Xu Shu smiled: "In this case, then this first array will be handed over to the king!" β
"Yes!" Agui was overjoyed and hurried to receive his life.
Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Strategist, Ma Chao has been waiting for a long time!" β
Xu Shu said with a smile: "This time the intention is to lure the enemy, only defeat, not victory, just lure the pursuers into the valley." β
Ma Chao laughed and said, "Then there will be King Lao." β
"Got it!" Ah Gui was immediately disappointed, but the words had already been spoken, and it was not easy to refuse.
Xu Shu said: "Although the king is to lure the enemy, but also not careless, if you retreat early, the enemy will be suspicious, and if you retreat late, there will be danger, be careful." β
Ah Gui hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, no matter who comes, this king will definitely have a way to bring them to the mountain pass." β
After Xu Shu finished his order, he and Ma Chao went to the mountain to ambush and arranged ambush soldiers to wait to meet the enemy.
β¦β¦
At this time, on the mountain behind the evil spirit grassland, Yan Xing had already led the army to arrive, and when he learned that Wu Kezhuang had died tragically, the Qiang people were all furious, but no one dared to enter the grassland rashly.
Yan Xing ordered people to investigate the surroundings, and after a short time, the sentry horse galloped to announce that he had found the camp of the Di people in front of him.
Yan Xing said in a deep voice: "The people of Di are not self-sufficient, and Ma Chao will not be able to escape this time. β
Half a month ago, watching Ma Chao withdraw, Yan Xing hurriedly crossed the river, but he couldn't find his whereabouts, and was scolded by Han Sui, who came later, and it is still difficult to get out of his evil anger.
"Let me get my revenge!" A Qiang leader drew his scimitar and roared, "Call the blood debt of the Di people!" β
"Blood Debt and Blood Paymentβ"
The Qiang soldiers behind him also shouted loudly, and the 3,000 people were wiped out, which was a catastrophe for the party tribe with a small population.
Yan Xing deliberately said: "Kesu, you also know Ma Chao's ability, now that he has people to help him, he must not underestimate the enemy, or we should go out together safely." β
Ke Su laughed wildly and said: "The general is too worried, although Ma Chao is brave, but the lone wolf who ran to the flock of sheep is also vulnerable, and we will avenge the revenge of our Qiang people!" β
Yan Xing praised: "It is worthy of being a Qiang warrior, now that Wu Kezhuang has been framed by treacherous schemes, Kesu will be the only warrior of the party, the most powerful contender for the next leader, if you can kill Ma Chao, don't say that it is the party tribe, that is, the king of Qiang, I will also salute you for three points." β
Ke Su's face was full of red light, and he patted his chest and shouted: "Kill Ma Chao, take revenge!" β
"Revenge!" Behind him, the Qiang soldiers raised their scimitars in their hands and followed Ke Su Yangchang.
Cheng Yi frowned on the side, puzzled: "Wu Kezhuang is still invincible to Ma Chao, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous to Kesu." β
Yan Xing sneered: "The new lord of the Dangxiang tribe, if we don't weaken their strength, they may also betray us in the future." β
Cheng Yi was taken aback, looking at the smile on the corner of Yan Xing's mouth, he couldn't help but feel creepy, this Weng and his son-in-law are really not simple.
Kesu led his troops straight to the Di camp, and sure enough, he saw many tents in a valley, and the Di people were carrying large and small burdens and preparing to migrate.
"The man who killed us still wants to leave?" Kesu shouted loudly and led his troops straight forward.
The Di people didn't seem to expect the pursuers to come so quickly, and in a panic, they threw down their packages to find their mounts and hurriedly met the enemy.
