After Ma Yi ruthlessly ransacked his house, he finally collected 30,000 shi of grain and grass before Han Sui's army arrived, which was enough for his 30,000 troops and horses for half a month.
With no worries in a short time, Ma Teng let go and prepared to fight Han Sui.
Such a cold winter.
It's really because the fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is too thin.
It's true: the general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the guards' iron clothes are cold and cold.
The soldiers were holding cold iron tools in their hands, and the steaming porridge they had just eaten in their stomachs could not stop the howling cold wind. But Ma Teng didn't feel any chill, and his whole body was filled with hatred and anger.
Han Sui's army crossed the Wei River.
"Hahaha!" Han Sui pointed at Ma Teng with his whip, "My dear Ma Teng, this is where you will be buried! I have been fighting with you for several years, and in the end, Xiliang will belong to me, Han Sui."
"Han Sui, stop being crazy!" Ma Teng's eyes widened angrily, "We still don't know who will win, but today I will fight you to the death. Do you dare to accept it?"
Han Sui snorted coldly: "Afraid of you? If you are afraid, you are not a good man!"
Ma Teng waved the big knife in his hand and roared: "Kill——!"
The cavalrymen behind them charged forward.
Immediately, the horse's hooves roared.
Han Sui roared similarly and charged away with his cavalry. The soldiers on both sides followed the general and braved the cold wind, clutching their cold weapons and charging fearlessly.
This is the battle method they are most familiar with: cavalry hedge.
The cavalry charge is a comparison of the psychological endurance of the soldiers on both sides. The horses that are fully galloping are very fierce and very fast. Hedging is not a dense hedging, otherwise it will collide with the opposite horse, causing the person to flip over, and the entire battlefield to be in chaos. War horses are expensive, and they are the basis for both sides to survive in troubled times. No one is willing to commit suicide by exchanging horses for horses.
The charging teams on both sides will keep a certain distance from each other during the charge. This distance is so that the opponent's cavalry can pass through smoothly. They will pierce the local soldiers when they pass by.
The rumble of horse hooves approached quickly.
Ma Teng lowered his body, almost touching the neck of the war horse, holding the long knife tightly in his hand, his eyes locked on Han Sui who was approaching, the anger and hatred in his chest skyrocketed as the distance got closer.
"kill!"
The moment the two horses crossed each other, Ma Teng and Han Sui swung their swords away at the same time.
Although it is said: Those who are too stunned are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
At this moment, Ma Teng is a desperate desperado, and Han Sui still wants to dominate Xiliang and dominate one side, which is a life-threatening situation.
Han Sui struck Ma Teng's head quickly and violently. Ma Teng didn't blink, and with a scream that was almost like roaring flames coming out of his eyes, he slashed at Han Sui with the same knife, with a completely desperate posture.
He wanted to exchange one life for another.
Han Sui was scared.
He immediately drew his knife and raised it vertically to block Ma Teng's fatal knife.
Pulling back the slashed knife has already relieved most of the strength, how can it block Ma Teng's full-strength knife?
Ma Teng's sharp blade struck Han Sui's blade, and the heavy force instantly overwhelmed the blade. The blade slashed diagonally, and the blade cut off Han Sui's left thumb without any resistance.
After one round, Han Sui screamed.
The two sides hedged and staggered.
After staggering, both sides reined in their horses and stopped.
Hundreds of human lives and corpses were left in the middle of the battlefield, and a few fell to the ground groaning in pain.
Han Sui's left hand and even his entire left arm trembled with pain, and the flesh on his face throbbed.
In the cold winter, the pain of a broken finger penetrates into the bone marrow.
Han Sui gritted his teeth desperately, took out the sword from his waist and cut off a strip of brocade robe cloth under the armor, wrapped it around his bleeding fingers, then tied the handle of the long knife to his left hand, looking sharply Staring at Ma Teng opposite.
You must be tough on yourself today, otherwise you will be benevolent.
Seeing Han Sui's actions, Ma Teng became more murderous.
"kill--!"
Both sides roared loudly at the same time, and another cavalry confrontation began.
Han Sui still didn't dare to confront Ma Teng head-on, so he chose to block rather than attack. Now that Ma Teng was in a desperate situation and had to fight for his life, Han Sui was not in a desperate situation yet.
After the two sides staggered, Han Sui decided to withdraw his troops.
He didn't want to fight a madman.
How could Ma Teng let him have his way?
He hurriedly led his army to rush over. At this time, Cheng Yu led 10,000 cavalry and came from the flank. Ma Yi's five thousand men could not resist and retreated in defeat.
"Runshot!"
Seeing this opportunity, Han Sui hurriedly gave orders.
The cavalrymen immediately took off their bows and arrows from their saddles and fired into the air. Suddenly, the arrows filled the sky with the cold light reflecting off them.
"Runshot!"
Ma Teng quickly ordered.
Arrows crisscrossed in the air and shot into the camps of both sides.
Because his flank was broken, Ma Teng had to return his troops and give up pursuing Han Sui, otherwise he would be in danger of being flanked.
Seeing Cheng Yu galloping across from him, Ma Teng was furious. At this moment, he understood the origin of the battle. The reason for the sudden surge in food prices was probably all due to Cheng Yu's scheme.
He knew Han Sui well and knew that he didn't have such a brain.
So he shouted angrily: "Cheng Yu! I listened to your words and joined forces at Xiaoguan, why now I help Han Sui to murder me?"
Cheng Yu said realistically and ruthlessly: "Because Ma Chao became Zhang Xiu's general, you have lost the value of using me. I have to get rid of you and let Han Sui unify Xiliang and attack Zhang Xiu with all his strength."
"Ah!" Ma Teng roared angrily, "Mr. Cheng Yu, I, Ma, treat you like a guest, but you only want to use me. You are really a ruthless, unjust, and unkind person. If you are like this, How can an ordinary person survive in this world?"
Cheng Yu laughed hoarsely: "Compassion does not control troops, emotion does not establish actions, and kindness does not serve as a plan. General Ma, how come you don't know such a superficial principle?"
Ma Teng gritted his teeth, and the anger in his chest flashed up, as if it was about to burst out of his eyes.
"General, don't act on impulse, be careful of being attacked from both sides!" Seeing that Ma Teng was almost losing his mind, Pang De reminded him quickly.
Blinded by anger, how could Ma Teng still listen?
With an angry roar, he rushed towards Cheng Yu. Now he wanted to kill Cheng Yu to vent his anger.
Seeing Ma Teng coming to kill him, Cheng Yu sneered.
He provoked Ma Teng on purpose.
But the angry Ma Teng was naturally invincible. How could Cheng Yu be his opponent? He immediately turned around and headed towards the camp.
Ma Teng gave chase.
Pang De was afraid that Ma Teng would make a mistake, so he urged his horse to rush forward with his bodyguards, following behind him.
Approaching the military camp, Cheng Yu roared: "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound roared through the air. The sound was so strong that it almost pierced the air.
"Strong crossbow?!"
Hearing such a fierce voice, Pang De's face turned pale.
Ma Teng woke up and his face changed.
Countless crossbow arrows arrived in an instant and were so powerful that even a war horse could be shot through on the spot.
At the critical moment, Pang De held the Shuo Feng Hanmang Dao and swung it vigorously, cutting off several nearby arrows. He rushed in front of Ma Teng, pulled Ma Teng off the horse, and then turned around and killed the horse with a single blow. He made the war horse lie down on the ground, pressing Ma Teng and hiding behind the horse.
"puff!"
A galloping arrow shot through the war horse, the tip of the arrow protruded, and hit Ma Teng's left arm.
The severe pain made Ma Teng break into a cold sweat.
Gritting his teeth, Ma Teng grabbed the arrow and said to Pound without any doubt: "Cut it off!"
Without saying a word, Pang Tong drew out his sword and slashed it down, neatly cutting off the arrow body.
Ma Teng's face suddenly changed in pain.
After a wave of powerful crossbows, Ma Teng and Pang De immediately turned over and retreated. Their own soldiers had already prepared their war horses. The two of them got on their horses and retreated towards Longxi City.
