Chapter 87 The Qiang People Attack
After living in the west for more than two years, Zhang Han grew a beard. Not because he wanted to be cool, but to keep warm.
While Zhang Han was cleaning up the room, he recalled the changes in the people of Xiliang in the past two years:
At the beginning, the people just lived and ate, but as Ma Teng and Han Sui's careful governance became more and more effective, the people's lives became better and better. I remember one time, Zhang Han was overtaken by Ma Chao.
I was forced to sleep all night on the road outside the city gate. When I woke up, I found a lot of copper coins in front of me. Although it was embarrassing, it also proved that the people of Xiliang lived a prosperous life, and at least they were free to take care of beggars.
Of course, Ma Chao is also two years older. A fifteen-year-old girl, she has a tomboyish style. In addition, she has grown taller and has a plumper figure. Sometimes Zhang Han does not dare to look directly at her! Remember
A few days ago, Ma Chao asked in a restaurant: "Are you planning to marry me?"
Of course Zhang Han was silent. After all, Diao Chan and Yin Zhi had not seen each other for a long time, and they had already thought about it very much. He would not take it to heart at all that a hairy girl here was proposing to marry Maoxian.
After asking several times, Ma Chao finally got angry when he saw Zhang Han had no response: "Don't think that no one wants me. If things get heated, I will find someone to marry here right away!"
Then the waiter came over hurriedly: "My lord! Please! You scared away all the customers in our restaurant!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Han giggled and continued to clean up. Suddenly, a cockroach crawled out, completely contemptuous of Zhang Han's existence, and just kept crawling on the bed!
It wasn't over yet, and then three or two more appeared. Zhang Han was anxious now, and hurriedly shook the bed. Thinking about sleeping with cockroaches made him feel sick, and he was still muttering: "Use cockroach incense to kill cockroaches."
Although I killed a few in the end, why do cockroaches appear more frequently now?"
As a result, a cheerful girl at the door replied: "If your family disappeared, wouldn't you be anxious?"
Of course Zhang Han knew that it was Ma Chao who answered: "Didn't General Ma agree with your participation in all military missions? If you don't stay in the military camp, why are you always coming to me?"
Although Ma Chao was wearing a military uniform and his armor jingled as he walked, he trotted all the way with his hands behind his back, approaching Zhang Han as if he had not grown up: "Brother Han, dad promised to let me go to the war.
!”
The quilt in Zhang Han's hand fell on the bed: "War? What kind of war?"
...
Let's talk about Li Jue. After Guo Si took control of Chang'an, he brutalized the people even more than Dong Zhuo did!
What's even more exaggerated is that they actually sent their confidants to observe the emperor's movements! Throughout the history, no one has dared to be so arrogant! Even Dong Zhuo did not dare to do such a treasonous thing!
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty acted like he was in thorns every day and could not live a normal life at all. As for the court officials, everything was promoted and demoted by Li Jue and Guo Si. In order to win over more people and stabilize the prestige of the court! Li Jue and Guo Si summoned Zhu
Jun enters the court and is granted the title of Imperial Servant, leading the government together. The government and the public are getting darker and darker!
Chang'an was miserable, and Ma Teng and Han Sui finally decided to send troops to advance into Chang'an! The two led more than 100,000 Xiliang troops to kill Chang'an. Of course, they were under the guise of begging for thieves, but secretly they just wanted to expand their territory.
.
Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou heard that the Xiliang Qiang army was coming, and they discussed strategies to defend against the enemy. Naturally, Jia Xu, the jade-faced flying dragon, was invited as a distinguished guest: "The Qiang people are coming from afar, and their morale is very high! We should pay close attention to
Make a ditch and build a stronghold to resist them. In less than a hundred days, the enemy's army will run out of food and supplies, and they will retreat. Then they will lead troops to pursue them, and the two generals will be able to capture them!"
In fact, Jia Xu's strategy is very appropriate! And his design is indeed Ma Teng, Han Sui's weakness! Xiliang is located in a remote place, and it is very difficult for the army to move forward! In addition, the Qiang people mostly rely on cavalry, so both men and horses are needed
Feeding and food supply are very difficult! This time Ma Teng and Han Sui went to war with three axes, a blitzkrieg, and tried to capture Chang'an as soon as possible!
But although the plan was correct, Li Jueleng didn't listen! He felt that the Qiang people came from afar and were exhausted, so they should take advantage of the situation and fight head-on!
Seeing that his idiot lord did not listen to the advice, Jia Xu had to make another plan to avoid defeat on the front: "If we fight now, we will definitely lose! But if the lord has to go... Two Hundred Miles West of Chang'an
The mountain has steep roads, so generals Zhang and Fan can station their troops here and defend the walls; you can then lead your troops to meet the enemy!"
Although Li Jue and Guo Si were very unhappy with Jia Xu's unlucky words about defeat on the eve of the war, after all, Jia Xu's plan had never failed. To be safe, they also listened to Jia Xu's words. So they clicked.
The 15,000 men and horses were led by the two of them in person, and everything else was decided according to Jia Xu's plan!
...
At this time, four people were sitting in the Qiang military tent, namely Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Han, and Ma Chao.
Zhang Han really couldn't understand: "I said, General Ma! I have received so many favors from you in the past two years, and it is right for me to go to the battlefield with you to kill the enemy... But Ma Chaonian is not yet ten years old."
She's six years old, she's still a daughter, why are you taking her to the battlefield?"
Before Ma Teng could speak, Han Sui stroked his beard and said, "Bing Liang, what you said is wrong. Our Qiang army is not born with a tough style! It's just because our children have been able to experience the battlefield since they were young.
Fight!"
Zhang Han couldn't accept such a fallacy at all. He looked at Ma Chao next to him and he was nodding his head!
Zhang Han glared and said, "Maybe this is your tradition! But after all, Ma Chao is still... You are letting minors experience unhealthy scenes!"
Before he finished speaking, a soldier rushed in: "Report! Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops to call for formation!"
The four of them walked out together, mounted their horses and went to the front of the battle.
Ma Teng didn't show any weakness when he saw the other person was constantly cursing at his mother. He looked at Ma Chao and then deliberately shouted righteously: "Thieves who rebel against the country! Who dares to capture him?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Han felt that someone beside him was like an arrow leaving the string, and he rushed out with a "whoosh" on his horse!
Li Jue saw the young general facing him - his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like shooting stars, he was holding a spear and his horse flew out of the formation!
Li Jue licked his tongue and asked: "This young general has a handsome appearance, but he looks like a phoenix with a body that makes me feel a little impulsive for a moment! Who is this?"
A general named Liu Fan replied: "This is Ma Chao, the daughter of Ma Teng, whose name is Meng Qi. She is only fifteen years old. Although she is a woman, her riding skills and spear skills are excellent!"
Li Jue put his hand into his crotch: "Are you good at riding? I like it! I want to see if she is as good at riding as I am!"
Of course Liu Fan understood what his lord meant, and he felt that the horse was so young that he could be bullied! He jumped on the horse to fight, shouting: "I am here to capture this little girl for your lord, and I will capture it for dessert after dinner!"
When Ma Chao saw a general coming out from the opposite side, he was not afraid and just slapped his horse to kill him!
The two armies saw Ma Chao stabbing Liu Fan with a spear at a speed as fast as a meteor falling to the ground. Liu Fan was unable to guard against it and had to steer his horse away!
Ma Chao stabbed the air with one blow, causing the soldiers in the Xiliang Qiang Army to sigh! Ma Chao knew that this was his first battle, how could he lose face?
When the opportunity comes, he draws out the long bow from his back, turns around, takes aim, draws the arrow and shoots!
Liu Fan was still proud that he had escaped a disaster, but he didn't expect a huge pain in his shoulder, and he was shot off his horse with a huge impact!
Liu Fan endured the pain of being hit on his shoulder and was about to get up, but felt that his abdomen was torn apart! Looking again, Ma Chao was back in front of him, and the spear in his hand had already pierced his lower abdomen! After Liu Fan screamed several times, he died.
Got it!
Li Jue was furious when he saw this: "What a fool! I didn't expect it to be a tigress? So fierce? Is there anyone willing to fight a tiger?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another general named Zhong Shao roared: "The last general is willing to go!" Then, he rode out and charged out!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Han hurriedly shouted to Ma Chao: "Brother Ma! There's another person coming from the other side! Be careful!"
Ma Chao drew out his spear, looked intently at the oncoming man, stood still on horseback, and raised his spear to meet him! The two armies were bewildered!
In this one-on-one battle between generals, what matters is momentum! The opponent, Shao, uses his horse to attack, so he uses the momentum of his sprint, so his first move must be fierce! But Ma Chao is stationary, with nothing to draw on, and coupled with his young age,
How to resist the opponent's head-on blow?
Just when Zhang Han felt that something was wrong, he discovered that Ma Chao was holding a gun in his right hand, but his left hand had reached behind his back to pull up the long bow! Ma Chao used his left hand to hold back the long bow, and the long bow was bent with force.
After that, like a bird waiting to leave its string, Ma Chao waited for his hand to loosen up...
Finally, Zhong Shao shouted like he was killing a pig and came to Ma Chao. He saw that the machete in his hand was about to hit Ma Chao!
Ma Chao jumped forward, and saw the machete just scratching the helmet behind Ma Chao's head! At this time, Ma Chao finally removed the force of his left hand. At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the long bow behind Ma Chao was violently removed due to the force.
Jump to Zhongshao!
Hearing Zhong Shao's muffled groan, he was severely knocked off the horse by the force of the long bow and the tiger, and fell heavily to the ground!
Ma Chao flattered him, quickly came to Zhong Shao, and stabbed him again! In just a few moments, both generals Li Jue were stabbed to death!
Of course, Li Jue couldn't let himself be so embarrassed in front of the battle. When Zhong Shao was shot to the ground, he had already sent two other generals to rush towards him! Seeing that the third opponent had arrived, Ma Chao hurriedly faced the enemy with a gun, unable to fight.
After a few rounds, the general was stabbed under his horse by Ma Chao!
Seeing that Ma Chao had won three formations, he reined in his horse and tried to return to the formation. Unexpectedly, the fourth general had already come from behind Ma Chao.
The sound of the horse's hooves was so loud that although Ma Chao heard it, he deliberately pretended not to know.
Zhang Han shouted anxiously: "Brother Ma! There is someone chasing you from behind! Hurry! Don't get your anus exploded!" Just as Zhang Han finished shouting, he saw that Ma Chao had caught the fourth general and threw him off the horse!
It turned out that Ma Chao knew that there was a general chasing him, but deliberately delayed it. When he was approaching and stabbed with his spear, Ma Chao ducked and the general missed the target.
His strength was lacking. Someone else might have caught this general and strangled him to death, but Ma Chao didn't have the strength to hold the general with one hand, so he simply threw him to the ground!
When Li Jue saw that all four generals were defeated, he realized that the horse in front of him was extremely powerful! He turned his horse's head and looked into the wind and fled. Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the momentum to pursue them and won a great victory. If it weren't for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou who followed Jia Xu's plan to ambush and kill him.
If we go out, I'm afraid Li Jue's life will be at an end! After Ma Teng's victory, he went straight to the pass and went down to the stronghold!
Li Jue and Guo Si returned to the camp and were very helpless! They wanted to capture a female general and bring her back to be the village's wife, but they didn't expect the girl to be caught, and they lost four young generals! Now they are short of men and horses, and their morale is low. What's next?
I don’t even know how to fight the battle!
Fortunately, there is still one person in their tent - Jia Xu!
Jia Xu had the foresight long ago. When he saw his lord's defeat, he did not dare to use sarcastic words. He just bowed and said softly: "The morale is low and it is not suitable to fight anymore. Use my strategy - hold the defense tightly and let him challenge him. He will not come out again."
Welcome, just wait until the food is gone!"
