Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Ma Chao seemed a little panicked, and hurriedly asked, "How many people from Wusun went to attack Yumen? Where did they cross Tianshan?"

"Reporting to my son, there are tens of thousands of Wusun people who went to attack Yumen, and they are all cavalry! They also brought camels. As for where they crossed the Tianshan Mountains, this little one doesn't know. It must be the person who sent this news The Yumen defenders won't know either."

At this time, Ma Teng showed panic, because things were completely beyond his expectation.He thought it was just a small group of Wusun soldiers attacking Yumen Pass in a harassing manner.Ma Teng seemed to be asking Ma Chao or talking to himself:

"How is this possible!? It is thousands of miles away from the heart of Wusun to Yumen Pass. Moreover, it is necessary to cross the Tianshan Mountains. Except for a few oases along the way, there is no pasture suitable for grazing horses. So a small group of Wusun soldiers went to attack and harass Yumen. The door is possible, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses need to consume so much food and grass every day. How can the Wusun people have the ability to provide them with so much supplies from thousands of miles away. You must know that our [-]-step cavalry Expeditions can only be achieved by devoting all the power of the Qin Dynasty to the west."

Ma Chao said anxiously at this moment: "Father, the defenders of Yumen Pass cannot have misunderstood the opponent's number. Xiangna Wusun must have found some trick to use troops for thousands of miles. Let's hurry back to rescue Yumen!"

As soon as Ma Teng heard it, he immediately ordered the troops who were attacking the city to withdraw their troops.As soon as these Qin soldiers retreated with the sound of clanging gongs, another man came flying.

This person was covered in blood, and he shouted from a distance: "I am the defender of Liuzhong City. I have an emergency report to Duke Qin. Liu...Liuzhong..." Before he finished speaking, this person rolled off his horse.

Ma Teng quickly ordered people to go to treat this person, the military doctor fiddled for a while and said: "It's okay, it's not caused by excessive blood loss, it's just dehydration." After slowly giving the person a few sips of water, he woke up.Ma Chao asked eagerly from the side: "What happened to Liu Zhong!?"

The man immediately replied: "My son, Liuzhong City, Liuzhong City is lost. Suddenly, more than ten thousand Wusun Buqi were killed from the Tianshan Mountains, and they stormed Liuzhong for three days and three nights. The two thousand brothers held on for three full days, and almost all of them died in battle."

After hearing this, Ma Teng felt dizzy for a while.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ma Chao quickly supported him.Then Ma Teng said tremblingly: "How is this possible... How is this possible, the Wusun people don't have so many troops, and even if they did, it is impossible to have such a large manpower to complete the logistics supply."

Ma Chao said anxiously: "Father, it's useless to say these things now. Our army is now facing a desperate situation where the rear is cut off and there is no basis for advancing or retreating. Our army is already a lone army. But when the opponent's army is approaching Yumen, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Its backup, and Liu Zhongcheng as the support of the logistics supply line. If the reinforcements are not returned in time, Yumen will be breached sooner or later. The most urgent thing now is that our lone army should get rid of the enemy's encirclement and return before Yumen is breached. Yumen Pass. Otherwise, not only will we die in this desert,

……

Ma Teng and Ma Chao's army were still marching on the long yellow sand, but this time they looked even more exhausted.Because the Wusun people occupied Liuzhong City, they had to avoid the oasis centered on Liuzhong City as much as possible on their journey back to Yumen.Therefore, it is difficult to find water sources, and roads are also difficult.

The wounded soldiers were carried by their colleagues on horses and stretchers, howling in pain from time to time. "Water...water," moaned a corporal carried by a stretcher.The soldier carrying the stretcher licked his chapped lips and said, "Captain, just bear with it, we have used up all the water we brought with us. We will have to wait an hour for the next round of watering."

At this time, a commanding soldier came from the front team on horseback and issued a military order loudly: "There is a small forest of Poplar euphratica in front of us, gather all the wounded soldiers who cannot walk by themselves there!"

Everyone knew what this meant as soon as they heard it, which meant that these wounded soldiers were to be abandoned and sacrificed.If it was not a last resort, Ma Teng would not do this, not because he is soft-hearted and loves soldiers like sons.But doing so will greatly weaken morale. In the event of a war again, soldiers may be afraid of being injured and hesitate to move forward.

Amidst the howling and howling, many wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs were abandoned in the woods of Populus euphratica and two buckets of water were left for them to fend for themselves.

After throwing away these burdens, Ma Teng still had more than [-] soldiers, and his speed was indeed much faster.The raised dust covered the sky.When they marched to the desert thirty miles south of Liuzhong City, they were still spotted by Wusun cavalry scouts.Just an hour later, billows of dust rose from their north and east.There was also the sound of rolling horseshoes.

"It's from Wusun, Wusun's cavalry is here!" Someone shouted in panic.Ma Teng raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't panic, the infantry line up with spears, and Ma Chao leads the cavalry to charge!"

When Ma Chao was about to charge his horse into the sand and dust with his guns out, he was grabbed by Ma Teng, and added in a low voice: "Son, after you lead the cavalry past the opponent's formation, don't go back. , withdraw directly to Yumen Pass."

Ma Chao immediately understood Ma Teng's intentions, and shouted in a crying voice: "Father!"

"This is a military order, you must abide by the military order of your father. If you don't do this, Xiqin and our Ma family will be ruined! Don't smear the ink, let's go!"

Ma Chao had no choice but to stay away from Ma Teng, held out his silver spear, and said through gritted teeth, "Western Qin cavalry, follow me to kill the enemy!" As soon as he pinched the horse's belly, he rushed out like an arrow leaving the string.Three thousand Western Qin war cavalry were distributed behind them in a conical formation.

Arrows hit Ma Chao's cavalry formation like a waterfall, and a large number of Western Qin cavalry rolled off their horses.But when the cavalry formations of the two armies intersected, Wusun's cavalry deliberately stayed away from the Qin army's war cavalry, and just kept shooting with bows and crossbows.This is the typical tactics of Wusun cavalry,

However, when Ma Chao passed the Wusun cavalry formation, he found that there were a small number of cavalry with very strange equipment mixed in.They and their horses were covered with metal armor that was connected in some unknown way, and around their necks was a neck guard like an iron basin.Carrying a six-foot pistol.

Ma Chao saw with his own eyes that such a cavalryman stabbed a Western Qin warrior off his horse, and another Western Qin warrior passed by him, slashing at the opponent's shoulder with a saber, but was stopped by the "iron basin collar". Only a gap was cut in the iron basin collar.

Ma Chao was distracted, a heavy cavalry on the opposite side was heading towards him, and the gleaming spear blade was already aimed at Ma Chao...

Chapter 369 The Death of Ma Teng

Ma Chao didn't have time to think, twisted his body on the saddle, and at the same time raised his gun and stabbed at the opponent.Ma Chao narrowly dodged the shot, but he also deflected the tip of his gun by two inches.The tip of the spear pierced obliquely on the opponent's armor, but slipped out with a piercing sound.

Ma Chao's spear tip left deep scratches on the opponent's armor, but did not cause any damage.The two riders quickly passed by the wrong horse.Ma Chao galloped away into the distance without looking back, followed by those Qin army knights who successfully passed through the enemy's cavalry formation.

After running for a long distance, Ma Chao turned his head and looked at the battle situation behind him from a distance. He saw that Ma Teng's army was nowhere to be seen in the endless yellow sand. Shooting in circles.

With tears in his eyes, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "This hatred is irreconcilable. I swear to destroy the entire Wusun clan." After finishing speaking, he led his people away to the east.

Ma Teng commanded a phalanx of long spears full of Western Qin characteristics to resist the Wusun cavalry, but the opponent was not close, and random arrows shot from all directions in the formation.Although the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty had shields and good armor, they were still unable to defend against the arrows coming from all directions like locusts.People kept falling down with arrows.

"Jieyuan formation!" Ma Teng yelled loudly, and the soldiers were in a commotion, and the Jieyuan formation could not move, which meant that they had to stand here and wait for help.They had already seen with their own eyes that Ma Chao led his cavalry away, and there were no other Western Qin garrisons nearby.Anyone with a semblance of savvy knows what that means.

But with Ma Teng personally leading the formation, the Western Qin soldiers quickly changed their formation and formed a hedgehog-like formation.The Western Qin soldiers had a lot of research on the spear formation, and they were skilled in training. This kind of change turned out to be a seamless transition, so that the Wusun warriors had no loopholes to take advantage of and could not take the opportunity to break the formation.

Seeing this, Wusun Zhanqi slowed down his horse speed, but the bow and crossbow in his hand kept firing arrows, but under the cover of layers of circular shield walls from the Western Qin soldiers, the casualties caused to the opponent were greatly reduced .Amidst the thumping sound, the Xiliang soldiers' shields were filled with arrows.Several Wusun warriors made a tentative attack, but they were stabbed into a honeycomb by dense random guns.

Wusun Zhanqi didn't dare to rush forward anymore, but they suddenly opened a gap, and unanimously shot their arrows at a point on the circle.Rao Ma Teng's spear array and shield wall were tightly defended, so dense shots from all directions still caused more than ten Western Qin soldiers to fall to the ground with arrows.

There was a momentary confusion and flaws in this position of the Western Qin Spear Formation.Thirty or so cavalry had already poured into the gap that opened, they were the heavy cavalry that Ma Chao had seen before, and they dug into the Western Qin Spear Formation from here at an extremely fast speed.

Two or three spearmen from the Western Qin Dynasty raised their spears facing a heavy cavalry rushing towards them, leaning on the ground with the rear end, trying to defend against the impact of the heavy cavalry, but the opponent flicked the cavalry to the left and right, and then Pushing their spears aside easily, the spear blades did not penetrate the opponent's body except for leaving scratches on the opponent's armor.

Seeing these things in his eyes, Ma Teng's heart was so cold that he knew that his spear array had been broken.If it wasn't for the fact that the comrades around these Xiqin spearmen had fallen to the ground with arrows, or if the opponent didn't have heavy cavalry, this ending would never have happened.

With the loud noise of collision, the armored horse slammed into the shield heavily, knocking the Xiqin infantry with long spears away three or four times.The person who was hit fell to the ground and vomited blood and died on the spot, and those who were still breathing were also trampled to death by iron hooves.

A gap suddenly appeared in the formation of the Western Qin Army, and Wusun warriors rushed into the gap...

Ma Teng brandished his saber, still desperately resisting.A cavalry guarding behind him was hit by a heavy cavalry, and the cavalry immediately flew out of the saddle.The heavy cavalry ignored him, raised his lance and stabbed fiercely at Ma Teng's back.

In front of Ma Teng, there were five ordinary Wusun cavalry fighting him with scimitars.When Ma Teng beheaded the No.3 enemy cavalry, he found a shiny spear protruding from his chest. Then he felt cold, his eyes darkened, and he fell off the horse.Ma Teng's head was quickly chopped off, and the Wusun cavalrymen held his head with their guns, shouting wildly, to the effect that the main general of the Western Qin Army had died in battle, and the rest surrendered quickly.

Ma Teng's death caused the already precarious West Qin army to collapse instantly. Although there were still many people fighting hard, most of them began to flee.In the end, those Western Qin soldiers who fought hard to resist were all blood-stained on the yellow sand, and the Wusun people blew their whistles and dispersed around the desert, chasing and killing the fleeing Western Qin army.

When Ma Chao approached Yumen Pass, there were only two thousand riders around him.The scouts he sent brought him bad news but also good news. The bad news was that Yumen Pass had been breached, and the Wusun army had poured into Liangzhou.The good news is that the main force of the Wusun army went deep after entering the pass, and there were only a thousand people stationed at Yumen.

Ma Chao thought it was good news, not because he thought he could take back Yumen because there were only a thousand enemy defenders in Yumen.But the Yumen garrison has only so few people, so the patrolling vigilance of the surrounding area must be weak.In this way, Ma Chao's two thousand war cavalry can bypass Yumen through the trail, and join the West Qin army stationed in the hinterland of Liangzhou and his brothers.

Sure enough, relying on his familiarity with the terrain and the weakness of Yumen's enemy troops, Ma Chao successfully bypassed Yumen Pass and the main force of the Wusun army that had already entered the pass, returned to the hinterland of Liangzhou, and joined forces with the remaining Western Qin troops stationed in Liangzhou in Jincheng.

At this time, Ma Chao's troops had been deprived of food and grass for many days, even to the point of killing horses to satisfy their hunger.But the Wusun people didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and the vanguard of more than ten thousand troops arrived at the foot of Jincheng immediately.

Almost [-]% of the entire Western Qin Army's strength, and the most elite brigades were all lost in the Western Regions. Facing Wusun's [-]-strong army, they could only parry and defend, and had no power to fight back.The Wusun army attacked Jincheng day and night, and Jincheng was in danger.

Ma Chao's situation is already very dangerous. Whether he can hold Jincheng depends entirely on whether the Western Qin frontier troops stationed in the east and north can return to defense in time.What is surprising is that the east is the territory of Liang State, and most of the area adjacent to the West Qin Dynasty in the north has been controlled by Liang State's Northern Army.Even if these frontier troops are withdrawn, Ma Chao believes that Feng Yu will not take advantage of the fire to loot.

The Western Qin frontier army finally arrived in Jincheng in time to help.But just as Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, he received an even more shocking news.The scouts he sent to investigate in many ways, the Wusun army who wiped out Ma Teng in Liuzhong City also entered Liangzhou and came to kill Jincheng.Moreover, more than ten thousand soldiers and horses from Loulan City are also marching towards Yumen.

Ma Chao hastily interrupted the guard's scout: "Did you make a mistake! There are only 7000 soldiers in Loulan City, how could there be 7000 more? Wusun can't be far away, so he will transfer his brigade to Loulan first. Then send troops from Loulan. Then how did these [-] people come out? Could it be that the Wusun people will turn beans into soldiers?"

Chapter 370 Offer

"My lord, the people of Wusun did not have any spells to turn beans into soldiers. Instead, they received assistance from the Guishuang Kingdom. Many soldiers in the Wusun Army came from Guishuang. This is our spies from the many caravans in the Western Regions. The news, the conclusions drawn after comprehensive sorting."

After hearing what the scouts said, Ma Chao muttered, "Guishuang? Why did the Guishuang Kingdom get involved?" He suddenly thought of the heavy cavalry with horses and armor that he had never seen before in the battle. Said: "No wonder I saw some special cavalry in the Wusun army. It turns out that they are from Guishuang."

The generals of the Western Qin Dynasty around Ma Chao were also discussing at this time, and one of them said: "So, if their army gathers in Jincheng, it will be impossible to defend Jincheng. At that time, we will not be able to retreat."

Another general echoed and said: "Yes, this Guishuang country was built by the Yuezhi people from the Western Regions when they moved westward. It was still a small country at that time, but it has changed for decades. It has expanded its frontiers and merged with other countries, and it has become a super-powerful empire. The Wusun people have received their assistance, and it is difficult for us alone to resist."

Ma Chao's brother Ma Tie also advised: "Brother, now we can only ask the nearby princes for help. Now there is only one person who can save us in Western Qin, and that is Feng Yu, king of Liang."

Ma Chao nodded and said: "A certain person has this intention, but the matter is so important that I don't feel at ease sending ordinary people to a certain place, so my younger brother Lao went there himself."

Before Ma Tie left Jincheng, the news of Ma Teng's death had spread to Jincheng.Ma Teng's head was also picked up on a bamboo pole and displayed in front of the Jincheng gate.Ma Chao and Ma Tie hugged each other on the top of the wall and wept.Ma Chao said bitterly: "If I don't take revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!"

Then, Ma Chao said something to Ma Tie.

Ma Tie said in surprise: "What, brother, do you want to give up the land of Xiqin? If my father knows under the nine springs, he will not agree."

Ma Chaochang sighed and said, "If not, how could we avenge this great revenge? More importantly, after this battle, our West Qin must be left with only an empty shell. We need soldiers but no soldiers, money but no money." , the power of the people is even more exhausted. We can't hold Liangzhou at all. So what we give is just a name."

Ma Tie had no choice but to agree to Ma Chao: "Follow my brother's wishes."

"Then you should leave immediately. The coalition forces of Wusun and Guishuang will gather more and more, and they may encircle Jincheng. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave."

After Ma Tielei bid farewell to Ma Teng, he brought a few cronies and rode towards Liang Guo...

……

In the main hall of the Liang Palace in Yibin, Feng Yu listened to Ma Tie's narration, and comforted him politely: "The Duke of Western Qin died for his country, please mourn. Since there are foreigners who invaded our Han soil, our country of Liang has a duty to do so. It's just that the army wants to Mobilization is not something that can be done just by talking about it. It will take time to collect and prepare supplies, food and grass, and the army must be assembled and transferred for defense. Please wait here for a while. Once Liang Guo is ready, he will immediately send troops to Liangzhou to send Nawaifan and Di The captives were driven out of Liangzhou."

Ma Tie bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, King Liang, for your rescue. Ma Tie naturally understands what King Liang said. However, a certain brother doesn't just want to ask King Liang for help to save Liangzhou."

"Oh, what else is there to ask the prince of West Qin?"

Ma Tie said with tears in his eyes: "A certain father, Lord Xiqin, died tragically under the sword of the Wusun army, and his body is still separated. My brother hopes that King Liang can help my brothers avenge the death of their father and slaughter the Wusun people. And destroy Guishuang this country!"

"This..." Feng Yu had a troubled expression on his face.Not to mention that Guishuang was a powerful foreigner who dominated the entire territory of Northwest China and was able to stand up to the entire Eastern Han Dynasty before the Zhongping chaos.Even Wusun has tens of thousands of war cavalry, scattered in the vast area north of Tianshan Mountain, it is not easy to completely wipe them out.How much manpower and material resources would that cost.

Ma Tie saw what Feng Yu was thinking, and immediately said: "My elder brother said that if the King of Liang can help us and my brothers to avenge this great revenge, he will give the whole territory of Western Qin as a gift of thanks!"

At this point in his words, all the officials of Liang Guo in the hall were already in awe.Feng Yu thought for a while, and said to Ma Tie: "To destroy a powerful country like Guishuang, as well as the Wusun family, this matter is of great importance, and it is impossible to make a decision immediately. But what I can be sure of is that we will definitely send troops Rescue Liangzhou. As for whether to conquer Guishuang in the west or Wusun in the north, when the lonely army arrives in Liangzhou, I will naturally give you an answer."

"It's just that a certain is very anxious now, and it has been more than half a month since he left Jincheng to Yibin. If we wait a little longer and add the marching time of the army, it will take at least a month. For such a long time, a certain does not know Liangzhou and his brother's relationship." I was really flustered by the news. So I boldly borrowed a small force from the King of Liang, and led the troops back to Jincheng first to relieve the urgent need. I don’t know what the King of Liang thinks?"

Feng Yu pondered for a while, and agreed happily: "That's fine. Gu will let you take two thousand paces first, and the towns along the way in Liang State can provide you with supplies. About two weeks later, Liang State's army also Will come later."

"Thank you King Liang." Ma Tie bowed again.After Ma Tie exited the hall.Feng Yu just asked the generals, "What do you guys think?"

Jia Xu first said: "Western Qin was invaded by foreigners. It is unreasonable for us not to help. However, the ultimate goal we want to achieve when we send troops needs to be carefully considered."

Feng Yu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the explanation for this?"

Jia Xu replied: "What I mean is that if the king just wants to fulfill the obligation of the princes to help each other, it is enough to send out two legions. If he wants to take advantage of this and merge into Liangzhou, he must be fully prepared. And choose the right one. Time to send troops."

Feng Yu laughed and said, "Does Shiyuan want to take advantage of Gu? However, Gu wants Liangzhou, but he will take it in a fair and honest manner. Gu will let Ma Chao willingly hand over Liangzhou to Gu's hands,"

Xun You said in surprise, "Your Majesty is really going to help the Ma family destroy Guishuang and punish Wusun."

"Exactly!"

Jia Xu was also anxious, and said: "Of course we want Liangzhou, but if we really want to attack Guishuang and Wusun, it will consume too much of our national power. This is not worth the gain. What I mean is that both Wusun Guishuang and Wusun Guishuang will suffer. At that time, troops were sent to drive Wusun Guishuang out of Liangzhou. At that time, Ma Chao may have died in the rebellion army, even if he was not, he would still be a poor son. Liangzhou naturally fell into the hands of the king."

Feng Yu still said confidently: "The lonely attack on Guishuang and Wusun is not just to avenge the Ma family. It has more important meanings. But Wenhe can rest assured that alone can attack Guishuang and Wusun , and don’t need to waste too much national power. Because we still have a Northern Region Commander’s Mansion in the north.”

Jia Xu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the king is planning to use the card of the Beiyu Commander's Mansion."

Chapter 371 Vehicle Infantry

On the Hexi Corridor, a line of large carriages with no end in sight was driving at high speed.

The wheels of these four-wheeled carriages are very special. They are made of a gelatinous material, which is very tough and elastic, and "springs" are installed on the hubs. Of course, springs cannot be made in this era, even if Feng Yu's system Neither does the workshop.This "spring" is actually an elastic steel sheet.But it's also good enough to act as a shock absorber.

These are of course Liang Jun's chariots, which can only be made by Liang Guo, which has rubber and super high craftsmanship.Each carriage is drawn by four horses, carrying six soldiers and a driver, and it still runs like flying.

Ma Tie took the convoy from Mei County to Jincheng.Originally, he wanted cavalry, because although cavalry is suitable for defending the city, it is fast.But Feng Yu asked him to take the first vehicle infantry of the Liang Army stationed in Mei County, claiming that their marching speed was faster than cavalry on the plain.

Ma Tie poked his head out from the roof of the carriage, looked back and forth at the mighty convoy, and sighed in his heart, Feng Yu was right, this convoy was much faster than the cavalry.Starting from Mei County, in just three days, Jincheng was already in sight.

At this time, Ma Tie prayed silently in his heart: "Don't let Jincheng fall."

On the top of the city of Jincheng, there was a desolation in late autumn, and the soldiers guarding the city lay motionless behind the battlements.As soon as someone showed his head, a large number of arrows would strike.The city was also filled with the wails of seriously wounded soldiers.

Ma Chao stood on the tower, under the cover of two shield soldiers, observing the situation below the city.The Wusun Guishuang coalition forces under the city temporarily died down, and only a small number of soldiers under the cover of shields transferred their own wounded and dead bodies to the rear.In this regard, Ma Chao did not deliberately order to attack them.After all, clearing up the battlefield is also good for the defenders.

At this time, Ma Chao was very anxious, and the number of soldiers around him became less and less.In this way, the opponent only needs to concentrate on launching a general attack.Jincheng might fall, but Ma Tie, who went to Liang Guo for help, still didn't believe it at all.

Suddenly, in Ma Chao's sight, a stream of dust rose up from the southwest of Jincheng, and he could vaguely see a convoy speeding towards this side.The flag on the car is obviously the flag of Liang Guo.

Ma Chao exclaimed in surprise: "Quick! Open the city gate quickly, our reinforcements are here." But as soon as he finished speaking, he frowned again, and his expression became anxious.Because he saw nearly a thousand cavalry from the Wusun army attacking the convoy from both sides.

Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Take my horse and spear, and all the cavalry gather! Go out of the city to meet the reinforcements!"

Before the horse had left the city, the Liang Jun convoy brought by Ma Tie began to shoot at Wusun's cavalry.Arrows whizzed through the air on both sides.The arrows kept shooting at the carriage boards and the bamboo armor of the horse, making popping sounds.The archer Liang Jun in the car continued to fight back on both sides with long bows and heavy arrows.

Several Wusun warriors caught up with this strange chariot, but they didn't know where to start. They tried a few times and found that their lances could not penetrate the compartment of the chariot at all.He rode forward with a whip, trying to catch up to the front and stab the horse.

Unexpectedly, when he just passed by the carriage, he stabbed a few long guns from the small window on the side of the carriage, stabbed him off the horse in an instant, and was crushed into two pieces by the wheels.

But more Wusun warriors chased up from the two wings, and they could stop these carriages as long as they stabbed the horses.A rider stabbed obliquely in front of the chariot, and slashed at the horse with a round knife.

With a whistling and neighing, one of the harness horses slumped, and the speed of the entire chariot suddenly dropped.Another two Wusun cavalrymen took the opportunity to rush forward, stabbing and killing two draft horses one after another.The last draft horse could not drag the whole carriage anyway.

Six Liang soldiers rushed down from the chariot with shields and spears, and even the driver also jumped off the chariot with a knife.Fighting with the rushing Wusun cavalry.Six shields formed a short shield wall, and flying spears flew out from behind the shield wall, shooting and killing three Wusun cavalrymen one after another.However, more than ten Wusun warriors attacked from both sides, and within a short time, all the seven Liang soldiers were beheaded to the ground.

If this continues, more than 300 chariots cannot escape this ending.At this critical moment, Ma Chao rushed over with more than [-] riders. He was on a white horse with silver spears, and he rushed to the forefront. or wheels crushed.

The Western Qin soldiers behind Ma Chao, whose morale was greatly boosted by the arrival of the reinforcements, all scrambled to fight the enemy bravely, repelling the unprepared Wusun cavalry for more than two hundred battles.When the Wusun people regrouped, gathered together, and charged up again.The horse team and the convoy had already fled into the city of Jincheng.

When Ma Chao saw Ma Tie, he was still out of breath, so he grabbed Ma Tie's hand and said, "Brother, I finally hoped for you. I thought I would never see you again in this life." After speaking, he looked carefully again These special chariots parked in the open space, and those well-armored soldiers of the Liang Army sighed, "The Liang Army really deserves its reputation. It seems that the King of Liang has agreed to our request. When will his main force come?"

Ma Tie took two mouthfuls of water from his water bag and said, "I promised... I didn't agree. He asked me to bring 2000 people first, and the army will arrive within two weeks!"

Matthew next to him said anxiously: "What do you mean you agreed, but you didn't agree?"

Ma Tie almost choked, rolled his eyes at Ma Xiu and said, "Why are you in a hurry. Listen to me... King Liang promised to bring troops to help, and he probably led the troops himself, but he hasn't decided whether to help Let's take revenge and kill Wusun and Guishuang."

"You can mention the conditions we gave."

"I mentioned it, but Liang Wang didn't agree immediately, saying that he would consider it. Such a big matter is also reasonable."

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Okay, let's not think about this matter for now, and wait for King Liang to reply. Our top priority is to keep Jincheng safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of horns for the Wusun army to gather and attack the city from outside the city.Ma Tie dropped the water bag and shouted, "Damn, I don't even give you time to drink."

Ma Chao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you and Liang Jun's brothers should drink enough water first, and then talk about it after eating. This man is like iron and steel, and he can't fight without eating. Although there is no There are a lot of soldiers and horses, but it is more than enough to resist for another hour or two." After saying that, he raised his gun and went to the top of the city again.
