It was dark at night, and on the banks of the Weishui River, groups of Han Sui soldiers took advantage of the night to erect a pontoon bridge. This is the last batch of boats and planks, and if they fail, it will take them several days to raise them.
"Damn it, be quiet and don't make any noise!" Ma Wan cursed in a low voice.
A group of soldiers did not dare to say anything anymore and stepped onto the pontoon by themselves.
Two sentry horses came from far to near, and the Korean and Korean troops passed by.
"Don't make any noise and bring the bows!" Ma Wan and Yang Qiu, who were at the front, lined up their bows and aimed their arrows at the sentinels.
"Whoosh!" "Ah!" Two arrows were fired almost at the same time, but the target was blurry in the dark night, and only one of the riders fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow.
"Come on!" Yang Qiu shouted, jumped on the horse next to him and immediately chased after him.
"Dong dong dong!" The rapid and harsh sound of the gong sounded.
Ma Wan still opened his bow in annoyance and shouted: "Don't wait so long, I'll run over here!"
Suddenly, Han Sui's army passed by quickly, and Hou Xuan and Zhang Heng also led their troops and rushed to the south bank of the Weishui River. More than 2,000 Han Sui troops lined up on the bank to cover the subsequent troops crossing the river.
"Tick tick!" The Ma Jiajun moved very quickly. Han Sui's army reached the river bank with less than 4,000 men, and the vanguard cavalry had already arrived and gathered their formation to prepare to attack Han Sui's army crossing the river.
"Charge!" Ma Xiu raised his spear and led many cavalry to attack Han Sui's army's formation from the flank.
"Block! Block!" Ma Wan knew that he had succeeded again. He could stop Ma Teng's army from harassing the subsequent soldiers and horses, and then they could move on to cross the river. At that time, our side will have a numerical advantage.
The two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their spears thrust out, and these simple actions of sweeping and killing continued.
Han Sui's army resisted the attack of Matthew's cavalry with their flesh and blood. Fortunately, they were on the river bank. The cavalry cannot attack with all its strength, otherwise Han Sui's army will be in a more dangerous situation.
"Ding!" Ma Wan and Ma Xiu stabbed each other. Both sides turned around and charged again.
"I'm here to help you!" Yang Qiu shouted, and he also clapped his horse and stepped forward to help with the battle.
"Cang!" The long knife hit Matthew's gun barrel and wrapped him tightly.
"Hey!" Ma Wan patted his horse and stabbed Matthew with his gun.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ma Xiu squeezed the horse's belly tightly and leaned to the side of the horse to avoid the combined attacks of Ma Wan and Yang Qiu.
"Certainly!" Ma Xiu let his horse run wildly. Ma Wan and Yang Qiu were in hot pursuit, and soldiers from both sides were fighting in a melee.
gradually. Han Sui's army moved more and more troops to the river bank, and Ma Teng personally led the troops to stop the attack.
However, it took a lot of effort to get here from the Gaoling River section. Han Sui's army always sent more than 20,000 people to the south of the river bank.
The sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers and horses of both sides were in formation. Two former sworn brothers, Ma Teng and Han Sui, faced each other in front of the formation.
"Ma Teng, I will expel you from Jing Zhaoyin today!" Han Sui said loudly.
"Han Sui, we still don't know who will win, so don't be too arrogant!" Ma Teng replied.
"Haha!" Han Sui laughed wildly and said, "The Yuan family has promised to help me capture the land in Guanzhong, and the state army will contain your troops in Tongguan. You have no reinforcements to move. The only blame is that you are too greedy. Will Reach out to Sili!"
Ma Teng's face turned blue for a while. He didn't want to expand so fast. It's just that the current Kansai land is too depressed. Cao Cao and Chen Gong had some improvement in Hongnong's management land, but Ma Teng was unwilling to give up, resulting in the current embarrassing situation.
"Shoucheng, you surrender to me, just like before, we are still brothers, okay?" Han Sui asked tentatively.
"Haha!" Ma Teng laughed loudly, "Han Sui, you were also a scholar in Xiliang back then. However, after you raised the army, your ambitions expanded. You have no regard for the court or your majesty. You have become a traitor. I, Ma Teng, am General Fubo and Ma Yuan. How can I succumb to you after that!"
"Hmph, attack!" Han Sui's face was ashen.
"Kill!" Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, and Zhang Heng divided into four divisions to press against Ma Teng's army, and Han Sui took command of his own formation.
Ma Teng also ordered his men to attack. Ma Xiu led the cavalry to the front, and Ma Tie, who was only fourteen years old, also followed Ma Teng.
By the Wei River, the two armies were fighting in a melee.
Han Sui's army relied on their large numbers, while Ma Teng's army resisted tenaciously. The two armies were stuck together, and neither one could gain an advantage.
The sky is completely bright and the sun is rising, heralding the arrival of a new day.
"Father, look east!" Ma Tie pointed to the southeast in surprise.
Ma Teng looked intently and saw smoke and dust rising faintly in the southeast. Because of the direct sunlight reflecting directly on his face, he couldn't see it very clearly.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" The sound of iron hooves became louder and louder.
The soldiers on both sides of the battle noticed a large number of cavalry coming from the southeast, and the soldiers and horses on both sides also slightly gathered together to prepare for this incident.
"Bingzhou Army?" "General?" Han Sui, Yang Qiu and others guessed.
"Is it the eldest brother?" Ma Tie was a little excited.
The rising sun became the best backdrop for this cavalry. Under the golden sunlight, rows of cavalry seemed to be wearing golden armor. They were like divine soldiers descending from heaven, causing a commotion and heart palpitations between the two warring armies.
The war horses ran slowly, and suddenly, the golden-armored heavenly soldiers accelerated and galloped, and the soldiers' front went straight to the Ma Tengjun on the south bank!
"Whoosh!" A hail of arrows shot out, covering Ma Teng's troops gathered in the south.
"Ah. Yeah!" Ma Tengjun from the south couldn't react at once, and a group of people were shot down immediately.
"Quick! Meet the enemy!" Ma Teng said calmly.
Ma Teng's army hurriedly organized an array to fight against the enemy troops appearing in the southeast. However, facing the dazzling sun, they were in a very passive and disadvantageous position.
"Father, retreat to Chang'an. There are too many enemy soldiers, and there is Han Sui on the other side! If it's too late, we will be surrounded!" Ma Xiu said anxiously.
Ma Teng was also in a state of shock and fury. Not only could he escape completely at this time, he would be attacked from two sides by the enemy. It is not impossible for our entire army to be annihilated.
"Okay, our reinforcements are here. Charge and attack them!" Han Sui shouted loudly.
Generals Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan, and Hou Xuan immediately commanded their troops to attack. Ma Teng's army was immediately caught between the two armies.
"Cang!" Matthew opened a halberd. He vaguely saw the big flag behind the enemy cavalry and exclaimed: "It's the Jizhou Army."
"It's broken! I've fallen into a trap!" Ma Tengjun also quickly discovered the problem. Because the enemy's riding and arching skills are not inferior to our own, and their weapons and armor are even better than those of the Xiliang warlords.
"Another troop of troops has arrived from the south!" Ma Tie exclaimed.
Sure enough, another large group of cavalry roundabouted from the south and outflanked Ma Teng's army. This time, Ma Teng's army was attacked from three sides.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou rode at the front, followed by more than 6,000 Wuhuan cavalry. A large group of cavalry was powerful, detouring from the south and hitting the back of Ma Teng's army.
Seeing this situation, Ma Teng broke into a cold sweat. Now his own troops were on the verge of collapse. Without his order, some soldiers had already been attacked and fled.
"Retreat!" Ma Teng shouted, leading two brothers, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, and two thousand of his own soldiers to break out from the west.
"Catch Ma Teng!" "Catch Ma Teng alive!" the Jizhou army shouted among the rebels.
The army was defeated like a mountain. No matter how powerful Ma Teng's army was, it could not withstand the encirclement of the three parties, not to mention that the number of their soldiers and horses was at an absolute disadvantage.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were in hot pursuit with an elite group of Wuhuan cavalry. If Ma Teng was captured, half of the war would be over, and their achievements would be the greatest in this expedition.
"Ah Chou. Cover him from both sides!" Yan Liang shouted loudly on horseback.
"I know!" Wen Chou led a group of Wuhuan cavalry to bypass the flank.
They had to act quickly because there were many competitors.
Zhao Yun's Xiaoqi battalion had already caught up from the other side, only a little behind them.
"Ma Teng, please leave!" Yan Liang shouted loudly, and the two armies ran a long way, and they were almost at the outskirts of Chang'an.
"Father, I'm here to intercept the enemy soldiers!" Matthew shouted and was about to lead his team to intercept them.
"Don't go!" Ma Teng shouted at his son, "Don't disperse. If you hold on for a while, we will reach Chang'an. Li Ru will send someone to help you!"
"Whoosh!" Feathered arrows were fired from the side and behind. The remnants of Ma Teng's army could only move their horses forward, and then used their small round shields to block their backs. However, this kind of chasing game is obviously what the Wuhuan cavalry is good at, and they may not be able to exert much combat power when they fight in formation.
But when it came to riding an archer and horse alone, it was a unique feat. Many Wuhuan soldiers fired their bows from left to right while galloping, making Ma Teng's army unable to defend themselves. Under normal circumstances, they were still pursuing one side.
"Ma Teng,
Where to go! "Yan Liang gave a loud shout and charged forward with his horse, slashing and chasing after Ma Teng and his son.
Many Wuhuan cavalry caught up and got entangled with Ma Teng's soldiers. Ma Teng and his son had to stop fighting.
Ma Teng was also very skilled in martial arts. After all, he was also a person with a force value of 80+. He swung the broad-backed long knife and slashed it at Yan Liang's neck.
"Cang!" Yan Liang struck hard and deflected Ma Teng's sword. After all, the young and powerful Yan Liang had the advantage.
"Father!" Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were afraid that their father would suffer a loss, so they clapped their horses and stepped forward to help. The father and son surrounded Yan Liang.
"Haha, good time!" Yan Liang shouted, not afraid to face the three of them.
"I'm here to get Ma Teng!" Wen Chou's strange scream sounded from the flank, and he came straight towards Ma Teng with his gun drawn.
"Ding ding ding!" The two weapons clashed three times in an instant, and Ma Teng was shocked by Wen Chou until his blood boiled.
The cavalry all around were fighting together, completely dragging Ma Teng's army down. Ma Teng was distracted and anxious.
Although the outline of Chang'an City can already be seen, there is only such a distance that Ma Tengjun cannot rush through.
"Tick-tick!" A team of more than a thousand cavalry ran out from the direction of Chang'an, under the banner of the official Chinese character "horse".
"Father, we're here for reinforcements!" After Ma Xiu deflected Yan Liang's long knife, he quickly returned to his father's side.
"It's big brother!" Ma Tie, who returned to Ma Teng, shouted excitedly.
Sure enough, at the front of the Qianduo cavalry was a young general in his twenties. He was riding a white horse with a strong and well-proportioned body, long and powerful hands, a somewhat heroic appearance, and a pair of bright eyes full of unruliness. An arrogant look.
"Drink!" Ma Chao slapped his horse and ran straight to Ma Teng. With a few provocations from the tiger's head spear, Wen Chou's spear was deflected away.
The more than a thousand cavalry are all cavalry armed with black long cavalry. They are the elite of the Ma family - the black cavalry.
As soon as the Black Cavalry joined the battle, the situation immediately changed greatly, and Ma Teng's soldiers were able to escape.
"Father, let's go first!" Ma Chao shouted loudly.
Ma Teng knew that his son was brave and had Xiliang cavalry to protect him.
He didn't want to show off, so he took the two brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie and his soldiers and ran to Chang'an City.
At this time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at Ma Chao and saw that he was wearing a pair of fish scale armor, with a lion-shaped hood on his head, and a heavy tiger-headed iron spear in his hand. He was really majestic. No wonder Yuan Xi I was reminded many times to be careful about Ma Chao.
After all, during the Battle of Hedong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not directly fight against Ma Chao.
"Ma family, Ma Mengqi!" Ma Chao's unruly eyes exuded a strong fighting spirit.
"Jizhou, Wen Chou!" Wen Chou couldn't wait to step forward and stabbed Ma Chao with an iron spear.
