Zhang Liao cut off Liang Xing's head and said to Xu Huang apologetically: "Gongming, I'm really sorry to rob you of your credit." ”

Xu Huang laughed twice and said, "If Wen Yuan hadn't intercepted this person, I might not have been able to catch up with him." From this point of view, where did Wen Yuan rob me of my credit? ”

"Hahaha!"

The two of them glanced at each other, laughed loudly on the battlefield, and then did not continue to charge, but returned to their own formation to command the soldiers to fight.

However, he said that Zhao Yunsheng captured Ma Dai, put him on the horse's back, went around to the side and ran back to the main formation, and then asked people to tie Ma Dai down.

An army of 200,000 slaughtered in the wilderness and the sky was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark. It was not until nightfall that the two sides called off their troops and ceased fighting.

Even if Zhao Yun and others frustrated the morale of the Xiliang Army in the process of fighting generals; Even if the soldiers in Guanzhong are well-equipped and brave and good at fighting. However, in the process of fighting with the Xiliang soldiers, who are the strongest soldiers in the world, they still did not have a significant upper hand.

In this melee, both sides lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Overall, it was still Guan Zhongbing who had the advantage.

In this battle, on the side of the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao was wounded, Zhang Heng and Liang Xing were killed, and Ma Dai was captured by Zhao Yunsheng; As for Wen Zhao's subordinates, only Tang Chen was injured by Ma Chao.

Therefore, the first battle of Guanzhong soldiers can be regarded as a small victory.

However, it was said that the Xiliang soldiers lost the first battle, and they also folded Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, and even Ma Teng's nephew Ma Dai, who were captured alive by Zhao Yunsheng.

Han Sui and Ma Teng led the army to retreat thirty miles to the village, and they all had heavy faces.

Han Sui said: "In the past, I only heard that the elite soldiers under the command of the general were unparalleled in the world. Originally, I thought that the Xiliang army would not be weaker than any army, but after today's battle, I realized that I was too optimistic before. ”

Ma Teng's face was also covered with gloomy clouds, walking back and forth in the tent, looking a little absent-minded. Ma Dai is the son of Ma Teng's brother, and because his brother died early, he has always been raised by Ma Teng.

Ma Teng treats Ma Dai as if he were his own son. Now that Ma Dai has been captured, of course he is a little uneasy.

Ma Chao was defeated by Zhao Yun, and he also shrugged his head, with a decadent look on his face.

Now it is only Zhao Yun who has defeated him, and it is rumored that Dian Wei, the brave general of Guanzhong, and Lu Bu, who is the best in the world, have not yet made a move.

If these two people play, it is estimated that Ma Chao will not be their opponent.

It is precisely when he thinks of these that Ma Chao, who has always been conceited and brave, feels a little disheartened.

As if he saw the thoughts of Ma Teng's father and son, Han Sui hurriedly said to Ma Teng: "That Chen Wenzhao is a hero in the world, and he is angry. Even if the little general is lost in the enemy camp for a while, he will not have to worry about his life. ”

"As long as we can catch one or two generals in Guanzhong, we can change them back to the junior generals."

When Ma Teng heard this, his eyes showed a gleam.

Then, Han Sui came to Ma Chao's side again and said to him: "Meng Qi don't have to be discouraged, you are only in your early twenties now, and your own strength is far from reaching the peak. ”

"Thinking that Changshan Zhao Zilong, since the general raised his army, he has almost followed him to fight in the south and the north. Compared with you, Zhao Yun has an advantage in terms of age and experience. ”

"Rao is like this, you can still fight him for a hundred rounds, which shows how amazing Meng Qi's own courage is. Meng Qi only needs to practice martial arts diligently, and in time, he will definitely not be under Zhao Yun. ”

Ma Chao's heart moved, and he felt that Han Sui's words made a lot of sense, so he turned his worries into joy.

Ma Teng was no longer worried about Ma Dai's safety, and was still a little uneasy, he said to Han Sui: "Although we have gathered 100,000 people, we have almost eliminated all the people who can fight in the territory. As the war continues, our men and women will surely fight to the death less and less. ”

On the contrary, Chen Wenzhao's 100,000 generals are still not all the troops in Guanzhong. Even if there is a slight damage, the energy source is constantly replenished. ”

"In the long run, the more we fight, the weaker we get, but the Guanzhong soldiers are getting stronger and stronger, and defeat is only a matter of time."

Han Sui also frowned and was silent, just as Ma Teng said, they were able to gather a hundred thousand people, and they had already squeezed out all the war potential.

It must be known that 100,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, even if it is the best of a state, it is nothing more than that. What's more, Liangzhou is still a barren land with vast land and sparsely populated deserts.

If it weren't for Han Sui and Ma Teng, many Qiang people lobbied to join their team; If it weren't for the fierce customs of the people of Liangzhou, and all adult men could be soldiers, the two would never have pulled up such a huge army.

Although their team is huge, they are not evenly matched, and the more they fight, the fewer they fight. The slightest mistake could lead to the collapse of the coalition forces.

It's like Zhang Heng and Liang Xing died in battle today, and the people and horses under their command began to fluctuate. If it weren't for Han Sui. Ma Teng appeased in time, coerced and enticed, I am afraid that they would have dispersed a long time ago.

Even many Qiang tribal leaders, due to the unfavorable first battle, coupled with the fear of Zhang Liao's prestige, also had the intention of retreating. It can be said that the Xiliang Coalition Army, which seems to be powerful now, is fragile and vulnerable.

Now, in the rear of Liangzhou, the Western Liang Army has not yet had time to clear all the walls. It is precisely for this reason that Ma Teng and Han Sui led the army, hoping to delay the westward march of the Guanzhong soldiers.

In any case, before the completion of the clearing of the strong wall in the rear of Liangzhou, the Western Liang Army could not withdraw its troops, let alone disperse.

Han Sui stroked his beard, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "In battle with the soldiers of Guanzhong, you can only outwit, not fight." ”

"I have a plan to break the enemy. If you are lucky enough, you can not only break through the middle soldiers, but also save the little general. ”

Ma Teng hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Han Sui said: "But so, so ......"

When Ma Teng and the others heard this, they were all overjoyed and ordered to act according to the plan.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it is said that after the two armies stopped fighting, Wen Zhao made people leave the city five miles and go to the village, and Pingxiang became a corner.

After the camp was established, Chen Xu asked Ma Dai to be escorted up.

He looked at Ma Dai, who was tied into a zongzi, hurriedly stepped forward to untie him, and said apologetically: "The people under him don't know how to be polite, and they collided with the little general, please don't blame the little general!" ”

Ma Dairen's ambition is not small, he snorted coldly and twisted his neck to the side, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Dian Man was immediately furious and scolded: "You general of the defeated army, Huangkou son, my lord talks to you with good words, you don't know what to do!" ”

Ma Dai still twisted his neck, and he didn't even look at Dianman.

Wen Zhao restrained the Dianman who was about to erupt, and said to Ma Dai in a harmonious voice: "I lead the imperial army and am determined to pacify Liangzhou. The little general is a native of Liangzhou, and he is of great use to our army, I wonder if the general is willing to surrender? ”

Ma Dai replied: "Although he is not very old, he also knows the truth that 'loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters'. If you want my Ma Dai to surrender, it is absolutely impossible! ”

Wen Zhao stroked his palms and praised: "Good, good, good, a person who respects loyalty and righteousness the most in his life." Someone comes, take the little general down, eat and drink well, and Hugh will treat him slowly. ”

When the soldiers outside the camp received the order, they entered the camp and invited Ma Dai down.

Seeing Ma Dai leave, Wen Zhaocai said to the generals: "In today's battle, I know that the Xiliang Army really lives up to its reputation. If this stalemate continues, even if we can defeat the Xiliang army, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

"I don't know you, but do you have a clever plan to break the enemy?"

When the generals heard this, they were all silent. Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, and Yang Qiu had dealt with the Xiliang Army a long time ago and knew that they were powerful.

I have to say that today's Guanzhong soldiers and the Xiliang army fought head-on, but they did not fall into the disadvantage at all, which is also a matter of pride.

It must be known that since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Xiliang army has almost never been defeated on the frontal battlefield. Even Cao Cao and Sun Jian were almost killed by the Xiliang Army several times.

The bravery of the Xiliang Army can be seen from this.

When everyone was frowning and thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy, a scout suddenly came to report: "Lord, there is a civil strife in the Xiliang military camp, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and it took a full hour to subside. ”

Chen Xu hurriedly inquired about the details and learned the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that because the two princes of Liang Xing and Zhang Heng died in battle, the soldiers under their command all wanted to leave. Ma Teng and Han Sui naturally did not allow it, and sent people to suppress it.

They killed a lot of Xiliang troops who wanted to leave, and only then did they temporarily stabilize the situation. Rao is like this, and the surviving subordinates of Liang Xing and Zhang Heng are also an unstable factor.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were afraid that they would make trouble again, so they seized all the weapons of these people.

After listening to the scout's report, Li Ru frowned and said, "How did you know this matter so clearly?" ”

Ma Play and Yang Qiu glanced at each other, and finally Ma Play got up and said: "The military advisor should be suspicious, I have been running Liangzhou in the past, and it is impossible not to install a fine work in Ma Teng and Han Sui's army." ”

"You may not be able to hear about their decision-making, but such a big thing has happened in the Xiliang Army, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the ears and eyes of the fine work."

When Li Ru heard this, he laughed twice and said to Chen Xu: "If this is the case, the lord will send someone to rob the camp today, and he will definitely be able to break the Xiliang army." ”

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

It was almost dawn, when everyone was sleepy, Zhang Liao led five thousand wolf cavalry and sneaked outside the camp of the Xiliang army.

Five thousand war horses, all of which were covered with soft linen cloth on their hooves, were used to silence the sound of the horses when they walked. Even all the soldiers had a five-baht coin in their mouths.

This is called 'man with a title, and a horse with a hoof'.

Zhang Liao came to the outside of the camp of the Xiliang Army and looked at the very quiet Dazhai. He made a gesture for the Wolf Qiang cavalry to step forward and remove the antlers and remove the horses.

The soldiers received the order, and they all quietly stepped forward and opened a gap in the Xiliang military camp.

"Phew!"

Spit out the five-baht coin in his mouth, Zhang Liao raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy, and make contributions today!" ”

"Oh oh oh!"

The five thousand wolf cavalry shouted loudly and followed Zhang Liao into the Xiliang military camp. They stormed the camp with impunity, setting fire everywhere, only to find that it was an empty camp.

Zhang Liao's face changed, and he said, "I've been tricked, withdraw quickly!" ”

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao was just about to retreat, when he heard a drum sound, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded all around. Countless Xiliang troops poured over from all directions, surrounding Zhang Liao and the others.
