Chapter Fifty-Eight: Plundering Zhang Qing
Suddenly, Zhang Qing was discussing important matters with Yuwen Changyou and a group of subordinates, and suddenly heard that Ma Zongheng led his troops to plunder the battle, and when he inquired about only four hundred horsemen, he laughed angrily, and scolded Ma Zongheng for being too arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, and he was going to be captured!
After all, Ma Zongheng is Ma Teng's eldest son, and Zhang Qing really didn't dare to kill him before he figured out Ma Teng's power. Otherwise, once Ma Teng's anger is aroused and he pours his troops into battle, won't he bring about his own destruction!? But if the horse is captured, it will be different, and then he can take him as a hostage and force Ma Teng to throw a mouse. Even if things are not good, they can be used to protect their lives as their own life charms.
It is said that Ma Zongheng has been fighting under the city for a long time, but no one has come to fight. Just when Ma Zongheng thought that this Zhang Qing was either a cowardly or a scheming person, suddenly the drums in the city shook. Suddenly, the city gate was opened, and hundreds of soldiers and horses were in groups, and Han and Qiang people surged out.
When Ma Zongheng saw it, he secretly sneered, and when the enemy's position was settled, he immediately rode forward and shouted: "Where is Zhang Qing's rat generation, dare to fight with Lao Tzu!?" ”
Zhang Qing was in the array, and when he heard Ma Zongheng come up, he scolded, and suddenly his face was so dark that he was about to drip water, and shouted: "The Ma family is presumptuous, who can capture this person for me, and reward me with a hundred taels of gold~~!! ”
Zhang Qing was furious, eager to regain face, but did not hesitate to give out a hundred taels of gold, and in an instant, all the soldiers rushed to go first, cheering again and again. On the contrary, in the Qiang people's place, all the soldiers were silent, their eyes were focused on Yuwen Changyou's body, but they were all waiting for his orders. At this time, Yuwen Changyou was secretly looking at Ma Zongheng, and saw that his physique was as burly and strong as rumored, and even a little more terrifying than the tiger bear, and he was surprised, and he would not let his subordinates die.
said that it was too late, and at this time, Zhang Qing had already sent a general to meet the battle. Ma Zongheng saw a soldier killing, and the fierce light in his eyes suddenly exploded, and he flew up in the red black, and in a blink of an eye, the two exchanged horses. The soldier hurriedly lifted the spear and stabbed it, but as soon as the spear was raised, it was cut open by the horse's vertical and horizontal knife, and the fierce force shook the whole soldier away. When the man and horse flew by, the horse raised his knife and slashed, and the soldier was immediately split into two, and the blood was raging.
Ma Zongheng was as simple and ferocious as ever, less than three combinations, hacked to death. Zhang Qing was stunned, and there was a dead silence. When Zhang Qing reacted, he screamed urgently, and a thief slapped his horse again. Ma Zongheng smiled coldly, turned his horse to greet him, but before anyone arrived, two more generals in the thief army came out. One left and one right, attacking the horse.
"Thieves, bullying more and less, are not considered heroes!!" The brave and invincible horses were crossed, but when they saw that there were many enemies, they rarely turned their horses and fled.
Zhang Qing was overjoyed when he saw it, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha~~!! Don't you know that the soldiers are not tired of deceit, listen to my orders, the whole army will attack, and you must capture the Ma family! ! ! ”
When Zhang Qing's rampant and debauched laughter rang out, all the soldiers immediately rushed up. On the contrary, Yuwen Changyou's face tightened, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him: "Don't be in a hurry, be careful of deceit!" ”
"Haha~~!! Does the thief know he's scared!? In other words, Ma Zongheng fled, and a thief will chase after him, scolding endlessly. Ma Zongheng's eyes were fierce, but he didn't attack, and when he was about to arrive at the team, he shouted an order, and Chi Kui seemed to have been prepared, and immediately turned his horse and fled.
Zhang Qing looked at it in the back, thinking that if he could capture this little Fubo this time, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in Xiliang, and with the support of Dong Jackal Tiger behind him, he would become a warlord in the future, just around the corner!
Zhang Qing thought very beautifully, and only cared about whipping Pegasus and ordering the soldiers to kill quickly. For a while, the sound of killing continued, one after another, and all the soldiers under Zhang Qing's command gradually began to ignore the formation and only care about chasing and killing.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion of killing, which instantly overshadowed the thief's momentum. Suddenly, I saw two soldiers and horses, one on the left and one on the right, like a stormy wave, coming over.
At the same time, the horse that had been staying at the end of the team suddenly pulled out the horse, and the thief who was chasing and scolding endlessly, before he could react, saw a red light, and when his head was split, his head instantly split in half.
When the two thieves saw it, they were shocked and angry, and hurriedly galloped to fight. The horse caught it horizontally, and the Dragon Flame Glaive Knife in his hand was like a flying rainbow, flying away, and a person's head rose to the sky. Then, the horse moved to avoid it, and the knife flew backwards, stabbing the other general in the back, and the sharp blade pierced his armor.
Ma Zongheng suddenly turned back to kill, and even killed the three generals in an instant with the posture of a ghost, and the thief soldier who was chasing was suddenly frightened and his face changed drastically, and his soul was scattered. At this time, four hundred Chikui caught up from behind, and rushed over with the murderous horses. In other words, although there are many of these thieves, they are a rabble after all, where can they be compared with Ma Zongheng's Chikui, they were killed by Ma Zongheng's troops in a while.
"Where is Zhang Qing's dog thief, come quickly~~!!" Ma Zongheng galloped wildly in the chaotic army, his eyes were fierce, and he suddenly stared at one place, and saw a big man in a blue robe and bronze armor being supported by a group of soldiers and fled. Ma Zongheng's mind flashed, and he knew that he was Zhang Qing, and immediately flew over the horse.
At the same time, Hu Che'er on the left led the troops to kill, and Jiang Jian on the right also led the crowd to catch up. The two soldiers and horses attacked together, and the thieves broke up in an instant. I saw that on the left road, Hu Che'er was rushing all the way, but soon there was a fierce man with fluffy hair and a pair of red lions chasing star halberds behind him.
I saw the chaotic fierce man wielding his halberd and slashing and chopping, as if he had inexhaustible strength, and the attack was as fierce as a tide, killing as if he had entered a no-man's land. Hu Che'er saw that the color changed repeatedly, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "What a sharp halberd method, such a fierce offensive, no wonder the lord values this son so much!" ”
Just as Hu Che'er was thinking, on the other side, Jiang Jian and Zhang Heng also led troops to continue to advance. The thieves were in a mess, and Zhang Qing fled timidly, and he had no will to fight, and they all threw away their armor and ran away.
At this time, Ma Zongheng ran all the way to kill, and the Dragon Yan Yanyue Knife in his hand danced fiercely and quickly, but if he made a move, he would see blood flying, and several of Zhang Qing's subordinates had died under his knife.
"Zhang Qing's dog thief escapes!!" Ma Zongheng shouted angrily, and Zhang Qing was so frightened that his heart was about to jump to his throat, seeing that Ma Zongheng was about to kill, he was busy shouting: "Hurry up and stop this, I will reward a hundred taels~~!" No~~!! Three hundred taels of gold~~!! ”
Zhang Qing once again wanted to use gold and wealth to boost the morale of the soldiers, but it seemed that more people wanted to save their lives than gold and wealth. When the generals heard this, they were all afraid, how could anyone dare to go back to the horse to fight. Zhang Qing was furious, and at this moment, a group of people greeted him. The leader is Yuwen Changyou.
"King, you retreat first, I'll cut off the queen here!!" Yuwen Changyou's face was resolute, and Zhang Qing couldn't help but be shocked by his shocking words, and hurriedly said: "That Ma family child is extraordinary, brother, don't be careful!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Qing had already passed by. Yuwen Changyou was disdainful in his heart, the reason why he came to save Zhang Qing was just that he didn't want him to die so early and affect Han Sui's plan.
On the other side, Ma Zongheng saw Zhang Qing fleeing, stared at him fiercely, and galloped his horse in a hurry. Suddenly, I only heard the strings ringing suddenly. Ma Zongheng felt a gust of wind blowing, and immediately subconsciously raised his knife and slashed, and with a 'clang', the cold arrow broke in response. Before Ma Zongheng could see it, he heard the sound of the strings again, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw that it was three strings of arrows, and he immediately shook his spirit and slashed quickly.
"Huh!? It seems that this little Fubo is not in vain. I'm not his opponent, so don't fight him. Yuwen Changyou saw that the horse had broken his chain of arrows, and he couldn't help but say secretly, and quickly shouted to the soldiers around him to retreat, and then turned the horse away. At this time, Zhang Qing had fled, although it was not far away, there were soldiers in the city to meet him. Ma Zongheng gritted his teeth angrily, and shouted at the Qiang general who had launched an arrow just now: "Boy, you dare to leave your name!? ”
Yuwen Changyou listened to it later, but he didn't look back, he didn't want to remember his name to a god. Seeing that Naqiang would ignore it, Ma Zongheng suddenly grinned and let out a frightening laugh.
The outcome was decided, as there was no place to place the prisoners, and Ma Zongheng soon led his troops to withdraw, leaving the remnants of Zhang Qing's defeated army to flee back.
On the other side, Zhang Qing returned to the city, thinking that he was killed by Ma Zongheng and fled with a wolf today, and the armies were defeated, he couldn't help but be furious, except for Yuwen Changyou, the rest of the soldiers scolded together.
"The king is not angry, from a small point of view, that little Fubo is by no means an ordinary person, and it is difficult to take advantage of it, so why not defend the city. Wait and see what happens? Yuwen Changyou said slowly, but it was about Zhang Qing's heart. Originally, Zhang Qing saw that Ma Zongheng was so powerful, in this battle, in order to annihilate thousands of soldiers from his army, he was already cowardly, and wanted to defend the city, but he was afraid of losing face.
"You're right! Although this king wants to personally lead his troops to fight the shame, after all, the current situation is not good, and Ma Shouyuan doesn't know when he will lead his troops to kill, and he still focuses on the overall situation. Zhang Qingzhen replied, and all the generals under his command were overjoyed and echoed when they heard it. Yuwen Changyou saw it in his eyes, and secretly despised these thieves for being afraid of the strong and bullying the weak, and it would be difficult to achieve great things after all.
But he said that it was in the Jicheng Mansion. Ma Chao, who was only fourteen years old, was originally a tender white handsome, but at this time, he was red, and said quickly: "Daddy!" The army did not move without food, and the eldest brother hurriedly set up troops, not only did he not bring his baggage, but even the camp tents and other materials were lacking, how could he entangle with the thieves!? I also hope that my father will send reinforcements as soon as possible, and the child is willing to lead the troops there!! ”
Ma Teng saw Ma Chao's eagerness, but he remained silent, shook his head and said: "Chao'er, your eldest brother is too arrogant, he is not frustrated, he will not grow, you don't care." The father has his own measure. ”
"Daddy!! You are so ruthless, but if the eldest brother has a case, how can it be good!? Ma Chao was anxious when he heard this, and he couldn't help but speak a little louder. When Ma Teng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Presumptuous!" You will rebel!? ”
"Me!" Ma Chao's face was stunned, and he stopped talking. Ma Teng has always been very strict with his family education, and Ma Chao's sons have never disobeyed him and talked back to him. Even Ma Zongheng has begun to be bold in recent years, and he dares to fight against Ma Teng.
Of course, Ma Teng thought that this was Ma Zongheng's wings stiff, but he didn't expect that there was another mystery in it.
"Step down !!" Ma Teng shouted angrily again. Ma Chao gritted his teeth, but he still held back, turned around angrily and retreated.
When Ma Teng saw Ma Chao retreat, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. At this time, a person walked out of the back hall, and it was Cheng Gongde.
"Lord Taishou, why do you bother?"
"Well, you don't know. Chao'er seems to be docile on weekdays, but in fact, his temperament is stronger than Xi'er, if he is angered, even if he wants to make a mess, he will not hesitate to do it! I was afraid that he would grow up and go astray in the future, so I didn't tell him, and I hoped that he would take this as a warning. Ma Teng sighed, his face suddenly a little older.
Cheng Gongde was obedient, seemed to have a deep understanding, shook his head and said: "Everyone in the world says that it is difficult to be a mother, but I don't know that it is even more difficult to be a father." A mother only needs to raise her child, but those of us who are fathers have to worry about his future for the rest of our lives. ”
Ma Teng was obedient, sighed again, and then shook his face, turned to Cheng Gongde and said: "But speaking of which, I really thank Cheng Gongde for his righteousness." ”
