Chapter 976: Strange Fire

One hundred miles south of the outskirts of Shanyang County, a cavalry of 10,000 people was advancing mightily.

The rider Tian Yu held the saddle with his left hand and whipped with his right hand, urging the horse under his crotch to gallop forward. This time, he was ordered by Ma Chao to go deep into the hinterland of Hanoi to find Pang De, and what he valued was the continuous endurance of his subordinate Youyan Jingqi.

Nowadays, the business responsibilities of the Ma family have changed greatly, and they are becoming more and more in line with the political and military needs of the Ma family. For example, Guan Shanxue has already begun to buy and sell people in the Western Regions, Yu Pan is in charge of the operation of the entire Ma family's commodity trade, and Li Zihao, who stayed in Shangdang County, has officially entered the Ma family's officialdom, so he directly started to buy military horses.

Although the Ma family has a huge horse farm, the number of Xiliang horses and Western Regions BMWs is the largest in the Han Dynasty. However, the world's heroes are nothing more than three categories: Youzhou Karasuma, Bingzhou Xiongnu and Liangzhou Qiang people. Liangzhou war horse, the body is majestic and powerful, but it cannot last, and the forage consumption is also more, and it is good at short-range burst charges on the battlefield and heavy armor breakthroughs. Youzhou and Bingzhou are both northland horses, short in size, excellent endurance, in the battlefield to long-distance outflanking, light cavalry archery, characterized by flexible and stable, can last for a long time.

Ma Chao ordered Li Zihao to buy a large number of Youhe good horses in advance, except for a small number of them sent to Ma's Ranch for experimental breeding, most of them were allocated to Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Tian Yu. Obviously, Ma Chao seems to focus all the advantages of the world's elite cavalry on the Ma family in terms of military considerations, so that the Ma family, which started with cavalry, will become the crown of the Han cavalry.

Thinking of such a long-term and majestic goal, Tian Yu couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Moreover, when he first joined the Ma family, he has not made significant achievements in military exploits. Therefore, after receiving this task, Tian Yu worked hard to save Pang De and play his first battle.

However, just as Tian Yu was galloping his horse, there was a faint rush ahead. With the unique banner of the Ma family behind him, Tian Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly picked it up.

"General, General Pound's whereabouts have been discovered, and from here to the north, there are another hundred and fifty miles to the north, and you can gather together." The scout turned around beautifully, and then walked parallel to Tian Yu, while manipulating the horses, while reporting to Tian Yu.

Tian Yu clearly saw that the scout relied on his feet to step on the double stirrups and twist his body on the horse's back, so as to better control the center of gravity and become one with the war horse, so that the war horse could easily turn around. If he hadn't joined the Ma family, Tian Yu had never known that a pair of small stirrups could increase his riding skills and combat power so much.

Tian Yu remembered that when he first experimented with the pair of stirrups, he actually stepped on the double pedals to make his body stand upright, hovering from side to side, and the tips of the scarecrow did not leave the surroundings of the scarecrow. The strong wind is howling, and the method is still as smooth as flowing water, increasing at least thirty percent of the combat power. And, in the final sprint, the man stood up and picked up the scarecrow with a single blow—something he had never thought of before.

"Very well, as long as General Pound marches south at the same time, we will be able to join General Pound in half a day. Then the shadow responded, and retreated into Xingyang by the trail, there was no problem at all. Tian Yu retracted his mind, put it on the matter in front of him, and replied.

"No, instead of marching south, General Pang moved all the way north. Moreover, at this time, the trial army has besieged General Pang De from all sides, especially the strength of the man, and it seems that General Pang will not kill himself. The scout replied.

Tian Yu was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but approve of this scout's subtle analysis, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What's your name?" ”

"Subordinate Shadow Xiao Tian."

"Oh, it turned out to be the most mysterious shadow under the lord." Tian Yu nodded, then his face froze, and he suddenly spoke: "Captain Xiao, do you have the courage to probe the enemy formation again?" This suburb is more than 300 miles in radius, and even if there are 100,000 troops, it is impossible to trap them all. If Captain Xiao can accurately detect the difficulties in all directions, my subordinates may not be able to see the stitches and save General Pound! ”

"If the general is so bold, why don't his subordinates dare?!" Xiao Tian clenched his fists and was about to take his orders.

However, it was at this time that the strong smoky smell choked into the mouth and nose. Tian Yu and Xiao Tian raised their eyes and saw billowing black smoke rising in front of them. Under the spread of the fire, a large amount of black smoke was burned out, drifting away along the direction of the wind, and the smoke curtain covering the sky gradually rose, making the sky and the earth change color!

Suddenly, Tian Yu was surrounded by a sound of inhalation, Tian Yu and Xiao Tian couldn't help but show a look of panic when they were not mentally prepared at all, in the final analysis, no one in this world is not afraid of death, even the bravest warrior, when he really faces death, it is difficult to maintain his usual calmness and calmness.

The general school is still like this, and the soldiers of the Ma family behind him are even more riotous in an instant.

"Don't panic, there is no enemy attack here, stand and defend it. If there is a person who agitates the morale of the army, the surrounding soldiers can be cut off immediately! Tian Yu issued this order as soon as possible, and soon, the turbulent military formation slowly stopped and fell into a calm.

After giving an order, Tian Yu observed the wind direction again, and couldn't help but wonder: "This fire is burning very strangely!" If you want to besiege General Pound, you can do it in all directions, why use fire to attack? Moreover, at this moment, the south wind is still blowing, and the fireworks are going north, so won't the ambush in the north be opened a gap? ”

Tian Yu frowned, and then suddenly said: "Could it be that this fire was set by Pound himself?" The purpose is to set fire to advance and break through the encirclement of the north in one fell swoop?! ”

"Such a ruthless move, it really deserves to be the number one general of the Ma family!" Tian Yu was talking to himself, and he had already extrapolated the situation to eight or nine.

However, then he felt the scorching air currents of the fire push endless smoke and dust into the air, and saw the endless black curtain of smoke and clouds, as if the end of the world was presenting before him. As if thinking of something again, he quickly spoke: "Not good! In this way, although General Pang gained the advantage of the supreme power in the north, he also gave up the last hope of joining the army to the south! Our mission may fail here! ”

"Order, quickly swing into a cone formation, and storm the enemy!" Tian Yu raised his head and roared, and his heart was agitated for a while: Since Pound De dared to bet on the will of heaven so ruthlessly, then he, Tian Yu, naturally wanted to help Pound. Even if Pound can't be contacted, he still wants Pound to escape and ascend to heaven!

Yes, the current situation is that Pound set fire to the center, and by spreading the fire to the north, he will storm the enemy forces in the north. The fire in the south was small because of the direction of the wind, and the enemy forces in the south would certainly take advantage of the situation. But further south, there is Tian Yu's cavalry, so that one layer is wrapped in another, forming a three-layer encirclement. Success or failure depends entirely on the power of the fire.

If the fire forerunner had driven out the enemy army in the north, Pound would have escaped and ascended to heaven; But if the enemy army in the north does not retreat and holds out until the other armies are encircled, then Pound can only be captured.

However, everyone didn't expect that Tian Yu would appear on the edge of the battlefield again at this time. Once he then joins the warband, attacks effectively, and escapes with one blow, the entire scale of victory will be completely tilted in Pound's favor, giving Pound enough time to break through the northern encirclement and flee to where they want to flee!

And at this time, after ordering the surrounding law enforcement team to kill a hundred rioting soldiers, there was a sinister surprise in the eyes of the judge: "This Pound actually broke my wolf smoke with a fire, and he still wanted to continue to run north, I want to see if your 10,000 remnants can get out of the encirclement of the 80,000 army I vigorously transferred!" ”

"Scouts everywhere, order all subordinates, hurry to the north of the Yan Jing Division, besiege and kill Pound!"
