On the branches of the moon, the dark clouds in the sky were all asleep, and only occasionally a few mischievous stars gave out a blinking light, but the hazy light like fireflies was obscured by the dark clouds that slowly drifted by.

Ma Chao is very satisfied with this kind of night, for him, this kind of night is just right: the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is just right to kill.

"Whoever fights with the enemy during the day must set up more flags as suspicious soldiers, and if he fights with the enemy at night, he must set up false torches as suspicious soldiers. so that the enemy cannot measure his outnumberedness. The law said: There are many flags in the daytime, and there are many torches in the night"

Ma Chao arranged for his more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry to tie unlit torches to tree branches, or find a wooden stake to hold them, except for those who beat gongs and drums, each person must also take two torches and listen quietly to the movement in the city.

At the city gate, the thieves finally came out, and Ma Chao's eyes were shining, but he was silent. More than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers were also like statues, and even their breathing was hidden.

Ma Chao was relieved: After more than a month of training, these veterans finally gave some rudiments of an iron-blooded army.

After a long time, a rocket finally shot from the sky, and the light of the fire immediately made the stars in the sky a little ashamed.

With a wave of Ma Chao's hand, more than 1,000 veterans under his command immediately ignited the torches in their hands and those fictitious torches. And the hundred or so people in front of them immediately scattered to various places, beating gongs and drums. All of a sudden, Xinping County made a big noise in all directions, causing the thieves who were not left in the city to panic.

"It's amazing...... Xiliang Tieqi called......" Xiao Tian shouted hoarsely, and his loud voice could almost be heard for more than a mile. He shouted as he threw oil bottles into the bandit camp, and then fired a rocket, which instantly set the entire camp ablaze. The fire spread quickly.

Before those thieves could react, Xiao Tian took the dark shadow that had infiltrated Xinping County more than ten months ago and rushed to the city gate: "Oh no, Xiliang Jinma Chao has called!" Our leader has been killed, the camp is on fire, and Tan Binh County is about to be breached! ”

The soldiers guarding the city gate originally numbered a few hundred, but they were selected to attack and take almost all of them away, leaving seven or eight thieves to guard them. Seeing Xiao Tian so flustered, he really thought that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was coming to the city, and a catastrophe was coming!

"Presumptuous, disturb the morale of the army, I think you are tired and crooked!" Among the thieves guarding the city gate, there were also several veterans. If you don't want to think about it, you should rush to win back the morale of the army first. But when those people ran in front of them, their faces changed.

I saw Xiao Tian suddenly pull out a bow and crossbow from his waist, and shot at those veterans in a round, how did the veteran dodge in time at night, and he was immediately shot on his back, and then he was solved by Xiao Tian with a knife.

"Open the city gate and welcome the young master into the city!" Xiao Tian raised his arms and shouted, commanding the shadows to pull up the iron ropes and open the city gate.

The thieves were so hungry that their eyes were green, and they only relied on sleep to maintain their strength, and at this moment they heard the clamor of the city, and saw the fire in the camp...... Crawling out of the bed naked, no matter whose clothes it was, casually wrapped it, he fled in a panic.

Ma Chao was not impatient at this time, but let his cavalry run around, shaking torches and pretending to attack and invade, just waiting for Xiao Tian to open all the city gates.

Not only that, Ma Chao also prepared a lot of oil bottles and rockets this time, and set fire to the city wall everywhere, which made the thieves think that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had been burned and looted.

"Medium!" Ma Chao's arrow was like a meteor, shooting a member of the thief who was caught off guard to the ground. Moreover, every time an arrow is fired, it is necessary to change places, and the same is true for the personal guards under his command, so as not to calm down the enemy and find that there are only more than a thousand of them. Because Ma Chao said it very clearly this time, he traveled lightly, focusing on sneak attacks, assassinations, bluffs, and scaring away thieves.

The horse died in a shocking way, and the thieves who had not received professional training knew what was going on, and they all thought that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had really surrounded and suppressed it. For a while, crying fathers and mothers, cursing heaven and earth, all kinds of ugly words popped out of their mouths. They grabbed their blades and valuables and ran to the place where there were few torches, hoping to escape from the weak point of the attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and ascend to heaven.

"Wherever the way of siege and warfare is to encircle it on all sides, a corner must be opened to show the way of life, so that the enemy is not strong in battle, then the city can be pulled out, and the army can be broken. The law said: There must be a shortage of teachers. ”

Ma Chao brought a lot of torches, but most of them were arranged on three sides, and most of them were set on these three sides, deliberately leaving a good way for the thieves to escape. Of course, there were neither Xiliang Iron Cavalry nor obstacles blocking the road on that easy road, and some were just 10,000 soldiers from Beidi County who had been waiting for a long time.

The flames were soaring, the noise was being made in all directions, and the thieves had long fled in all directions like frightened rats. When they saw that there was not much movement at the west gate, they fled to the west gate. At this time, Xiao Tian also took advantage of the chaos to open the city gates in three places, and after firing a rocket into the air, he led the shadow troops to escape into the shop, took off his night clothes, and closed the door of the store like a frightened trader, shivering inside......

And after Ma Chao saw that Nadi's two rockets finally lifted off, he immediately ordered Xiliang Tie to let the Xiliang Iron Riders of the three city gates urge the horses to enter the city gates. All of a sudden, the suppressed bloodthirsty aura burst out, and the Xiliang Iron Rider suddenly turned into a demon at night, driving the invincible nightmare war horse, raging like a hurricane in the city, driving those soulless thieves to the west gate like a flock of sheep.

Ma Chao took the lead, and in this battle, he didn't test his martial arts more. After all, there is no one worthy of his action among this group of thieves. But after the first battle, he suddenly felt that his 'heart of domination' was more condensed. We have a clearer understanding of the control of the battlefield, the use of strategies, the choice of timing, and, more importantly, the beginning and end of the entire battle situation.

His heart was extremely happy, and Ma Chao couldn't wait to turn these insights into instinct and stay in his blood. But the battle continued, so he had to rush forward, and when he saw the fleeing thieves, he slashed and killed him, mercilessly, he was simply the ancestor of murder and the demon king of the world.

Although those thieves are all adults, when it comes to bravery, where is Ma Chao's opponent? What's more, most of them rode on foot at this time, and they were inflicted on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they were weakened by countless points in terms of momentum, strength, morale, bravery, and technology. In the midst of the hasty resistance, I saw flesh and blood flying, and the cold light was shining. When the head hit the ground, I realized that it was not someone else who died, but myself.

And in the end, it was Pang De, Ugly Brother, and Ma Dai who led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry after the extermination, and joined the pursuit together, especially Ma Dai, who was picking the candidate's head, was even more crazy, chasing and killing those poor thieves everywhere.

This battle was only over when it reached the official road on the west side of the avenue, and you could already faintly see You Chu using a net rope in front to capture the prisoners.

By this time, the sky was already starting to brighten. Ma Chao looked at the rising sunrise in the east, and felt that this sunrise rendered the golden thread of the clouds, which was much softer than the tragic sunrise he saw in Fufeng County.
