Chapter 552: A Great Tribulation is Coming
The next day, Xu Gai sent people out of the city to contact Ma Chao, falsely claiming that he was willing to surrender in Kaicheng, but he needed to spare Xu Huang's life and treat his father and son well.
Ma Chao was suddenly embarrassed, and discussed with Ma Dai: "If Xu Gai surrenders, according to the military order, we must not hurt the innocent, how can the revenge of the Sima clan be avenged?" ”
Ma Dai said: "Sima's revenge, in fact, is only in Sima Yi, and has nothing to do with the rest of the people, now he is in the Yanzhou army, you can settle Hanoi as soon as possible, and go to Yanzhou to find Sima Yi for revenge." ”
"No!" Ma Chao said angrily: "Sima Yi killed my father and son, and this revenge will be avenged!" If I don't kill other people, let him taste the taste, how can I relieve the hatred in my heart? ”
Ma Dai knows his brother's temper very well, he can't let him slash the enemy today, and he can't vent the hatred in his heart, I'm afraid that he will be depressed for the rest of his life.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Later, Xu Gai will go out of the city, and my brother will not have to wait for him to salute, so he will take it down, take advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to enter the city, and go straight to the Sima family's mansion." Afterwards, he said that Xu Gai was a fraudulent surrender, and we saw through it and took the opportunity to take the city. ”
"That's a good plan!" Ma Chao was overjoyed and ordered someone to reply to Xu Gai, telling him to open the city immediately to ensure that Xu Huang was safe.
Ma Dai was worried that Ma Chao would not be able to restrain himself, so he advised: "After my brother enters the city, only the first evil will be removed, and the innocent shall not be harmed." ”
Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, there is a debtor who is wronged, how can a certain person be a person who kills brutally and indiscriminately?" ”
After a while, I saw a white flag erected on the city, and the city gate at the west gate slowly opened, but I didn't see Xu Gai leading the troops to surrender, but many people poured out, helping the old and the young to cry.
Ma Chao was stunned and said, "Why is this?" ”
Ma Dai frowned slightly, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, Xu Gai is a fraudulent surrender, drive the people in the city out first, and there will be a large army in the rear." ”
"Hmph, the mantis arm is a car!" Ma Chao's face sank, and he was about to rush over.
Ma Dai hurriedly said: "There are people disturbing at the west gate, I am afraid that the defenders will flee from the east gate, my brother will go and intercept it, and I will deal with it here." ”
Ma Chao was furious, he was guarding the east gate, but he was lured by Xu Gai to the west gate to answer, and hurriedly led the troops to the south city, beckoning Pang De to accompany him, and the two of them each led 3,000 fine horsemen to the east gate to intercept.
Ma Dai ordered the soldiers to hold their positions, scolded the people to spread out on both sides of the moat, and when they were driving away, sure enough, the Wei army in the city rushed out, Ma Dai raised his sword and rode his horse, rushed to the drawbridge to intercept the fight.
The soldiers who came out of the West Gate were all remnants of the defeated army, where could they block the impact of the Xiliang army, Ma Dai slashed more than ten people with a knife, and before the Wei army came out, he rushed in first, and the cavalry was inserted into the city gate like a sharp blade.
The defenders of the city have long been withdrawn, there is no one to protect them, the Wei army under the city can not resist, scattered and fled, the Xiliang army rushed in, has entered the city from the west gate.
Ma Dai divided his troops to the north gate to open the city to meet Guo Huai's people, and led five hundred elites straight to the government, only the fleeing soldiers on the street, most of the people were driven out of the city, and the city was in a mess.
Sima Lang persuaded Sima Fang all night, but he was never able to persuade this stubborn old man, and fled in a hurry, and his family could not evacuate, so he had to compromise with each other, he led his brothers to evacuate, and the rest of the family would follow Sima to guard the family of the mansion.
When the west gate opened the city, Sima Lang followed Xu Gai out of the east gate, Xu Gai led the elite soldiers to the northeast to break through, and the personal soldiers guarded and protected the Sima brothers.
Ma Chao went to surrender, Xiliang army thought that the victory was in hand, did not take precautions, and when they found out, they had rushed through most of them, and they were busy chasing after them, and thousands of horses were galloping outside the east gate, and the dust was flying.
Xu Gai has galloped to the outside of the encirclement, looking back, only to see the mountains and fields full of Xiliang cavalry, horses' hooves flying, yellow sand rolling, swords and guns flashing cold light, like a group of wolves dispatched, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
was about to wait to answer Sima Lang, but when he turned around, he saw a group of cavalry at the south gate running wildly to outflank him, with bright armor and murderous spirit, with the word "horse" on it.
"General Xu, wait for me...... After a quick break! ”
In the dust, Sima Lang held his seven-year-old nephew Sima Shi in his arms and shouted loudly, but the sound had long been muffled by the sound of fighting, and no one heard it at all.
Behind him, Sima Kui hugged his youngest brother Sima Min, and Sima Sui and the three of them guarded left and right, looking at Xu Gai's soldiers and horses who were getting farther and farther away, and fell into despair.
Sima Sui hurriedly caught up with Sima Lang, pointed to the south and shouted: "Brother, Ma Chao has chased after him, return to the city quickly." ”
Sima Lang looked back, and saw the galloping cavalry, the yellow sand was in the air, and Wenxian had been submerged, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but he fell into a desperate situation.
At this time, there was no way back, and he yelled: "The back road is extinct, only forward, go separately." ”
"I'll lure Ma Chao away!" Sima Sui roared and turned his horse to meet Ma Chao.
Sima Lang hugged Sima Shi and chased after Xu Gai, while Sima Kui fled north to Taihang Mountain, and the other two Sima Jin and Sima Tong panicked and could only urge their mounts to flee for their lives.
Seeing that the defenders had indeed fled, Ma Chao jumped like thunder, and yelled at Pang De and his subordinates: "Kill, no armor will be left!" ”
Urging his mount, the horse rushed into the midst of the rebellion, his horse came from Wusun's West Pole Horse, more divine than the Great Wan Horse, spread its four hooves, like the wind galloping, only to see a white streamer sweeping across the plain.
Ma Chao in a rage, like a killing god, Wei Jun looked far away to avoid it, and caught up with Sima Lang who fled in panic in the blink of an eye, shouting: "Where is the dog thief?" ”
Sima Lang's face was as earthy as earth, and he hurriedly said loudly: "General Ma, do it slowly......"
While speaking, Ma Chao had already rushed to the front, and the mount man stood up, raised his gun to look at everyone, and was so startled that the guards around him scattered and retreated, and Sima Lang was in a hurry and fell under the horse.
There were also deserters running around, but they all took the initiative to stay away from a mile away, in order to show that they had nothing to do with the Sima clan, Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "What are your last words when you die?" ”
Sima Lang's sweat stuck to the dust, shaped like a beggar, and pushed the child in his arms forward: "This is Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, the general is a hero in the world, and he should be a grievance ......."
"Uncle, you said you were going to escort me out of the city, it turned out to be a scapegoat!" Sima Shi fell heavily, but he didn't cry in pain, and when he saw Sima Lang pushing him out, he cried in despair: "You are so shameless, how can you explain to my father and grandfather?" ”
Sima Lang said angrily: "Your father and son are the scourge of my Sima clan, and it is not a pity to take the blame on yourself!" ”
"When you get to the Nai He Bridge, your uncle and nephew will fight slowly!" Ma Chao's face was disgusted, and in the midst of heavy cheers, he shook his hand and stabbed with a shot.
"General and slow...... Uh-"
Sima Lang was shocked, and when he hurriedly raised his head to ask for mercy, he saw that the head of the gun had pierced Sima Shi's chest and came to his throat.
"Today, you all have to die!" Ma Chao skewered Sima's uncle and nephew with a sugar gourd, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw his corpse into the wilderness, and continued to chase and kill the rest of Sima's remnants without looking at it.
