That night.
Ma Teng's complexion finally recovered a little, and his pale face became somewhat healthy and rosy. At this moment, he was wearing armor and gathering soldiers and horses in the city, preparing to break out.
"General!" Pang De came on horseback, "The whole army is on standby. We just wait for the time to come and we will fight out."
Ma Teng nodded and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight was very bright tonight, illuminating the entire white world.
The war horse snorted and breathed hot air.
The first moment of Yin hour.
Ma Teng raised his whip and shouted: "The whole army goes out!"
The south city gate is open.
Pang De, as the vanguard, took the lead to rush out and fight towards the besieged Korean army outside. Ma Teng led other soldiers and horses to attack later. Longxi City did not directly leave Han Sui empty. Ma Teng left three thousand soldiers in the city. People and horses, prepare enough food and fodder for them to hold on.
Han Sui followed Cheng Yu's suggestion and placed heavy troops at the four city gates to prevent Ma Teng from breaking out and Ma Chao to join forces. The people patrolling the camp at night were naturally cautious. When the rumble of horse hooves sounded from the south gate of Longxi City, the night watchmen were alert. The ground reacted and hurriedly called for help.
Suddenly, the sound of Korean army drums exploded into the night sky.
The cold wind in the early morning was icy and biting. Pound was riding on the horse, holding the horse's belly, holding the cold iron tool in his hand and moving forward. The icy cold wind blew on his face, which was freezing and biting, and his palms were instantly red and numb from the cold.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the Korean military camp in front of him. The drums were beating loudly in the military camp. After all, they woke up from a dream. Before they fully woke up, someone nearby had already led an army to the military stronghold.
Relying on the unstoppable momentum of the horse, Pound rounded his arms and used his sharp long knife to cut off the horse stakes. He then cut open the wooden fence gate with one knife and rushed in.
In the military camp, the soldiers stood up in a hurry. Their armor was not yet fully dressed, and they rushed out with cold weapons without even having time to mount their horses.
Pang De led his soldiers and horses to charge in, and with a frenzied attack on these soldiers, the Korean army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled towards Han Sui's central army.
Amidst the sound of drums, Han Sui woke up from his dream.
After hurriedly putting on his armor, he took his weapons and led his own soldiers to gather up the remnants of the retreating soldiers at the east gate. Ma Teng's breakout had long been expected by Cheng Yu, so Han Sui had also been prepared.
Soon, the troops gathered together.
Han Sui led his team to charge over. This time he would never let Ma Teng, an old man, escape. He must personally chop off Ma Teng's head to command the three armies.
The cold wind is biting.
Han Sui quickly led his army to fight back. At this time, in order to cover Ma Teng's breakout, Pang De personally led an army of 5,000 to stop Han Sui. With the help of the silvery moonlight, the cavalry from both sides met.
"Han Sui, old thief!"
Pang De roared angrily and pointed at Han Sui with a knife to kill him.
"Pang De! Now that the Ma family is gone, the sun is setting on the west. I cherish your talents and cannot bear to kill you. I advise you to dismount and surrender. I will not treat you badly!" Seeing Pang De coming to kill, Han Sui immediately persuaded him.
Pang De is a rare warrior, and his strength is comparable to that of Ma Chao. If he can be under his command, it will definitely be a big help and can help him conquer Xiliang.
"kill!"
Pang De turned a deaf ear and galloped off to kill.
When Han Sui saw Pang De not answering, he snorted coldly and charged towards him with a knife.
The two horses crossed each other, and Pang De and Han Sui fought together. Although Han Sui's martial arts skills were not as good as Pound's, he would not be defeated in one battle. The two sides fought for more than thirty rounds, and the swords were dazzling.
After all, Han Sui had lost a finger and could not hold the weapon steady. Coupled with the sharp cold and Pound's fierce attack, Han Sui was a little unable to withstand it. If it weren't for his advantage, he would have almost run away.
At this time, Ma Teng led the army to break through the encirclement and headed towards Yangma Mountain at an extremely fast speed.
Time was almost up, and Pang De didn't dare to fight. After a feint, he turned his horse's head and retreated towards the Yangma Mountain.
Han Sui led his troops to pursue him calmly. Since Cheng Yu guessed that Ma Teng was going to break out, how could he not have a backup plan?
When Ma Teng led his army to the entrance of the valley.
The silver light illuminated the entire land like day. When they rushed to the mouth of the valley, suddenly, countless Korean army flags were erected on the top of the mountain. There were thousands of people and the darkness was all filled with Korean soldiers and horses.
Ma Teng's face turned gloomy.
There was an ambush in front of him and a pursuer behind him. It seemed that he had been plotted by Cheng Yu again. The uncontrollable anger in his heart made his face become ferocious. He pointed the knife in one hand at the top of the mountain: "Cheng Yu, I know it's you, come out and answer! "
Cheng Yu came out with a smile: "General Ma, you're fine!"
Ma Teng said angrily: "Cheng Yu, have I, the Ma family, ever treated you badly?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "Ma's family treated me like a guest, and was affectionate and righteous. He never treated me badly."
Ma Teng was so angry that he almost burst into flames: "Since I, the Ma family, have not treated you badly, then why did you help Han Sui and trap my Ma family to death?"
Cheng Yu sighed painfully: "General Ma, for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the country and the country of the Han Dynasty, I, Cheng Yu, know that I cannot help you. In the next life, I, Cheng Yu, am willing to be a cow and a horse to atone for my sins. But tonight, General, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Cheng Yu!" Ma Teng shouted: "I, Ma Teng, have made a mistake."
Cheng Yu waved his hand and ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly, the clear and cold sound of startling strings resounded, and arrows rained down.
Ma Teng held a knife and shouted angrily: "Kill!" Before he finished speaking, he slapped his horse and killed him in anger, wishing that he could cut Cheng Yu into pieces in the next moment.
Cheng Yu knew Ma Teng's bravery, so naturally he did not dare to let him charge forward. He hurriedly ordered: "Send thousands of arrows! Stop Ma Teng and don't let him charge forward."
But in such a critical environment, how could Ma Teng not try his best? He led his troops to charge and fight fiercely, taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry to quickly rush to the foot of the mountain. A large number of the soldiers behind him also fell in the rain of arrows.
After three rounds of arrow rain.
Ma Teng comes to kill.
At this moment, Ma Teng had a murderous expression on his face, and the long knife in his hand shone coldly in the moonlight. After he entered the archer position, he was killing all the enemies in an unstoppable manner.
On the top of the mountain, Cheng Yu looked indifferently.
If he had faced Ma Teng's troops on flat ground, he might have fled on horseback long ago. But now, with an ambush in front of Ma Teng and pursuers behind him, he would never dare to go up the mountain to fight him. He would have to cross the valley. , fled to Wushan.
It was just as he expected.
After Ma Teng killed the archers, he glanced coldly at Cheng Yu at the top of the mountain, then rocked his horse towards the valley. At this time, Pang De, who was behind him, also led his army and galloped towards him.
Behind Pang De, not far nor close, more than 300 steps away, followed Han Sui's army.
"Walk!"
Ma Teng glanced at Han Sui behind him and led his army across the valley toward Wushan.
There were ambushes on both sides of the valley, but the ambush was useless. Ma Chao from the Wushan direction came to meet him. The troops of both sides joined forces. In a hurry, Han Sui was afraid that he would not be able to deal with it, so Cheng Yu let them go through the valley. .
Han Sui was puzzled: "Why did you let them leave, sir?"
Cheng Yu said: "Ma Teng was injured by an arrow and it took less than a hundred days to scrape his bones and cure the poison. He was stimulated again yesterday and the old injury will inevitably relapse. Now if he resorts to force, he may be at the end of his crossbow and he will die soon! Ma Chao came to meet him. There are few ambush troops here. It’s not enough to kill them. If they are trapped in a duel and it is disadvantageous to oppose our army, it is better to let them leave, but don’t even think about coming back.”
Han Sui nodded: "Now, the Ma family and his son are finally driven out of Xiliang."
The Ma family left Longxi City, which was equivalent to the eagle leaving its nest, and its power was greatly reduced. Tianshui is not their base and must not be defended. When Ma Teng relapses and dies from his arrow injury, Ma has no choice but to seek refuge with Zhang Xiu.
Xiliang is Han Sui's world.
