Chapter 41: The Qiang soldiers enter the city

When the people in the city heard the leader's order, they immediately shook their torches at the city.

In just a quarter of an hour, a fire appeared from the top of the city, and it shook towards the city.

The people under the city did not hesitate to extinguish the torches and responded to the city.

The code was matched, and the torches at the head of the city quickly disappeared. But soon, the door that was originally tightly closed slowly opened.

"The Han people are really careful, even a code has to be so complicated."

The leading deputy muttered twice with some dissatisfaction, disgusted by the slow speed of opening the door. But he was immediately patted by the leader, and the big man in the lead said coldly.

"It's because we're too careless and despise others too much that we've fallen to where we are now. Read some books well, it's not for nothing that the Han people can become so strong. ”

"This ...... Yes, sir. The deputy was a little helpless, feeling that the leader was too scared. They can't beat the Han people, just in terms of weapons and equipment, they are a little weaker than the Han people......

What's more, those books are not good-looking, he can't read them every time, and then he can't read a few sticks of incense before he falls asleep.

"Forget it, no matter what, we're going to kill now anyway!"

As he spoke, all the soldiers and horses showed their weapons, and each of them rushed towards the city with murderous vigour.

"Warriors of the tribe, charge with me!" Rushing through the city, the leader of the leader immediately roared, followed by a sea of shouts of killing.

That's right, they're Qiang soldiers! It's the Qiang soldiers attracted by the family!

They are not the same as the Qiang people who robbed horses, but the Xianling Qiang people located in the western part of Longxi. They are different from the pro-Han Dongqiang, they have been inseparable from the Han people for generations, and they compete with the Longxi army every year.

In the Cao Wei Dynasty, they were the main force of the Qiang soldiers who were in trouble in Longxi, and they could fight with the local county soldiers for a long time every time.

And this time, the Qiang tribe received a very strange request. It was a letter from the family of Didao County, which said that as long as they were willing to attack Didao County, the family was willing to open the city gate for them.

At that time, only some members of their family will need to leave, and it will be up to their tribe to decide what to do with men, women, and children in the county.

Of course, one of the most important requests of the family is to kill the Taishou Ma Jian of Longxi County! As long as he is dead, the Longxi family can also secretly give them a lot of money, food and intelligence.

The Wu family has already investigated, and in theory, Dongqiang is the most suitable for cooperation. They are the closest to Longxi, and they are close to the Han people, even if they are hired to kill the county guard, there will not be much disturbance.

But Wu Yong found that Dongqiang and Ma Jian had already been in contact, and although the contact did not seem to be very pleasant, they still did not fight. Wu Yong didn't dare to bet on whether Ma Jian would have any PY deal with Dongqiang, so he had to choose the Xianling Qiang tribe who hated the Han people the most.

The Xianling Qiang finally agreed to their request and came to the outside of Didao County on time. The people of the family were very trustworthy this time and directly opened the city gate for them.

When the Qiang soldiers rushed into the city, they only caught a glimpse of the corpses of dozens of Shu soldiers on the head of the city, and the people of the family had long since disappeared.

"Burn me! When you see a house, it burns! Kill people when you see them! The Qiang leader shouted, and thousands of Qiang warriors rushed into the city and rushed out in all directions.

There was an instant chaos in Didao County, and the people living near the city gate were first afflicted, and then quickly spread.

At this time, Ma Yan, who had just been forced back to the house by his subordinates, had not yet laid down, but he saw a fire outside the house.

"What's the situation?" Ma Tan was startled, and hurriedly pushed the door out, and the speed was so fast that the soldiers guarding it didn't have time to stop.

When he rushed out, he saw a large fire suddenly rising in the direction of the city. The noisy and fierce fighting and wailing faintly came, making Ma Yan's face suddenly difficult to look at.

"Those families still did it!" Ma Tan's back molars were about to be crushed, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost condensed into substance.

Although he had considered that the family might be desperate to flip the table, he didn't expect them to dare to do so.

Ma Jian can't do such a crazy move himself, and those families who have been solving problems through negotiation dare to do so?

Do they really want to be wiped out by the three tribes?

"These madmen! I should have gone out of my way to destroy them! Ma Jian was furious and immediately rushed outside, he had to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible.

When Ma Jian rushed out of the county office, he saw that Yao Hu had finished training the soldiers and horses

In addition to the soldiers stationed at the city gate, there were only more than 500 recruits in Didao County. This alone is not fully equipped, let alone saving the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even protect Ma Jian from escaping.

"Taishou!" Yao Hu was also anxious at this time, and when he saw the fire at the head of the city, he sensed that something was wrong.

Soon a spy came back and told him that a large number of Qiang people had suddenly entered the city for some unknown reason and were burning, looting, and setting fire to the city.

Yao Hu was horrified and immediately assembled all the soldiers and horses stationed in the county.

"Yao Hu! What's going on? Who set the fire to the city? Ma Tan looked at Yao Hu and asked through gritted teeth.

"It's the Qiang! A group of barbarians who don't accept the indoctrination ......" Yao Hu smiled bitterly and replied.

"Eighty percent of the family opened the city gate and let the Qiang people into the city. Now the Qiang people are burning and looting, looking at the posture, it should be aimed at you. ”

"How many of them went into the city? How widespread has it been? Ma Yan's eyes were red, and he asked viciously.

"I don't know, there should be thousands of people looking at the posture, and I'm afraid that we can't resist it at all!" Yao Hu shook his head and said almost in despair.

"They came prepared, and thousands of people rushed into the city at once. Taishou, please take Juncheng and others away, I, Yao Hu, will die here today to delay time for Taishou! ”

Who would have thought that the most critical juncture that Ma Tan had envisioned two days ago would come true in just a few days?

Influenced by the fearful attitude of the Eastern Qiang, Ma Tan has always ignored the influence of the Qiang people. He had no idea that in Longxi County, where there were only tens of thousands of Han people, the number of Qiang people was almost the same as that of Han people!

Dongqiang thought about progress, so he and Han Ting didn't dare to do it, but it doesn't mean that other Qiang people will buy your account!

"Yao Hu! What was my order the other day? Ma Tan turned over lightly on the horse, supported the sick body and rode on the horse, and said lightly.

"It's you who should leave, according to the route and plan I laid out a few days ago, immediately protect Li Juncheng and retreat!"

"Leave it to me here, my Ma Jian will never let them Qiang people act recklessly!" Ma Jian said coldly.

"Taishou, you are injured and sick, and you can't fight at all! Dahan still needs you, your life is more expensive than my Yao Hu! Yao Hu was so anxious that he was about to cry, and hurriedly persuaded Ma Yandao.

It's just that Ma Tan turned his head to look at him, and there was a little more unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

"The prime minister said something that I never understood, but now I understand the prime minister's feelings."

"What?"

"The death of a husband is a bright crime!"
