Han De and Xiahou Lan of Wudu summoned Hechi Di and Xia Biandi to assemble in Xiabiancheng on the grounds of crusading against Lintao Li Kan, and Li Kan, who got the news in advance, bribed the Baima and Shenwolf Qiang on the border of Wudu with heavy money to enter the territory of Wudu first.
Han De and Xiahou Lan were not guarded, Qiang Dao and Wudu Dao were lost one after another, Han De ordered Xiahou Lan to block the two Qiang armies in the Western Han River, how could the two Qiang Hu armies be strong, Xiahou Lan was defeated in the Western Han River and crossed the river, but he killed the enemy several times.
Xiahoulan retreated to Shanglu City, Li Kan took the opportunity to raid Xiabi City, but was beheaded by Han De in the battle, and then Han De led Wudu and Xiabi Liangqi to rescue Shanglu City, and Xiahoulan attacked the two Qiang Hu armies inside and outside.
Li Kan's remnants Li Sui wanted to flee back to his hometown in Xixian County, but was defeated by the county soldiers led by Yan Wen of Xixian County, and then joined forces with Han De and Xiahou Lan to attack Lintao.
The Lintao Shi clan had heard the name of the Lucheng Army, and the local Shi clan fled from the city, and fled from Baiqing to Wangqu Valley, and Yang Wan, the king of Di, led the tribe to surrender, and Han De chose his elite to join the army and ordered his women and children to return to Baiqing.
Lintao was occupied by the Lucheng army, Ma Teng was furious, and heard that Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin and others in Ji County were all in charge of the military and political affairs under Ma Chao (that is, Tianshui County of the Three Kingdoms), and Zhao Qu, Pang Gong, Pang Rou and others were all in the local area to win over the Shi clan, and the name of the county Cheng actually had the power of Xiangwu and Barrier County (that is, the territory of the Nan'an Army of the Three Kingdoms).
Ma Teng's territory has shrunk sharply, leaving only Didao, Shouyang, and Angu counties.
Ma Teng wanted to raise troops against Liu, but after he was afraid of being attacked by Han Sui, he could only send Ma Dai to Ji County to persuade Ma Chao to drive Yang Fu and others.
Ma Dai all the way from Barrier County, Xiangwu to Ji County, along the way only to see the bandits extinct, the people are safe, and the county government soldiers are heroic and powerful.
Ma Dai took out Ma Teng's warrant, and the Ji County defenders invited him to the Ji County Mansion, Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard that Ma Dai was coming, and hurriedly left his military affairs to meet him: "Brother Dai, but my father sent you to help a thief."
Ma Dai's face flushed when he heard this, Ma Dai is Ma Teng's nephew since he was a child, and he grew up with Ma Chao since he was a child.
Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai was hesitant and understood that the person who came was not good, and immediately snorted angrily: "Say it!" What are you doing here? ”
Ma Dai couldn't help but shudder when he saw Ma Chao's anger and change color, but thinking of the purpose of Ma Teng's sending him, he said: "Big brother, the Lucheng army attacked Lintao, and according to Xiangwu and Barrier County, seeing that the Ma family's foundation is about to fall into the hands of the Lucheng army, are you willing?"
Ma Chao knew that he was Ma Teng's lobbyist, but the lobbyist selected by Ma Teng was not very good, and he said at the moment: "Xuande Gong is a nobleman of the Han family, and now the Han family is sluggish, the Son of Heaven is coerced by traitorous ministers, Xuande Gong is the next Guangwu Emperor, not to mention that the Lucheng army armor is rich in soldiers and soldiers?" Is it something that my little Longxi can resist? ”
"Hmmm! What the eldest brother said is reasonable, but it can be ......"
Ma Dai was convinced, but he did not forget Ma Teng's explanation.
Ma Chao didn't wait for him to distinguish, and said: "Brother Dai, if you want to help so, you can stay, if you don't want to, go back and tell your father that so-and-so decided to join the Lucheng Army and revive the prestige of the Fubo Ma family."
"Okay!"
Ma Dai was almost persuaded by Ma Chao's ambition, but he still didn't have the courage to say what he wanted to do with Ma Chao.
Ma Dai got the news of Ma Chao and left the house immediately.
Xi Zhicai turned out from behind, and Ma Chao hurriedly saluted: "Sir."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Ma Chao and said: "Meng Qi is worthy of being the queen of Ma Fubo, loyal and brave, he will be able to raise the prestige of Ma Fubo one day."
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."
Ma Chao was overjoyed, and then said: "There is still something in a certain camp, if the gentleman does not give orders, a certain will retire first."
"Huh? Meng Qi has thought about Ma Dai's departure, how will Ling Zun deal with it? ”
Xi Zhicai shouted to Ma Chao, Ma Chao was stunned, gritted his teeth and said: "If my father is stubborn, he will personally lead the army to defeat him."
Xi Zhicai nodded, and Ma Chao left.
Xu Huang quietly appeared beside Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai turned his head and said: "Meng Qi is young after all, maybe he is impulsive, but he won't regret it in the future, Gongming, you have to enlighten him more."
"Whoa!"
Xu Huang responded and strode away.
Three days later, Ma Chao raised 20,000 troops and then went out of Weishui, straight to Pingxiang, this war Ma Chao obviously wanted to fight to the death with Yan Xing, and Yan Xing was not to be outdone to gather troops in Pingxiang City.
At the same time, Han Sui's envoy Cheng Gongying came to Di Dao again, and the Korea-Ma alliance reappeared, first of all, Han Sui handed over the Great Xia City south of the river to Ma Teng, and then Ma Teng led his troops south to take the county.
Zhao Qu could not hold out in Barrier County, but Ma Chao and Yan Xing launched a formation outside Pingxiang City.
Yan Xing had 15,000 cavalry, and the cavalry were all skilled Qianghu Jin cavalry, but only 2,000 of his own troops were armoured.
Ma Chaojun has 10,000 horsemen, all of whom wear armor, holding a unified horse chopping knife, a round small iron shield, a strong bow, and a pot of arrows.
Yan Xing couldn't help licking his lips when he looked at Ma Chao's new army waving flags in the distance, no matter how good the equipment is, the lack of riding skills and bravery is in vain, otherwise Qiang Hu would have been exterminated by the elite of the imperial court, but if he got the equipment of Ma Chaojun, then Han Sui would not be afraid.
"Kill someone!"
Yan Xing only drooled when he looked at Ma Chaojun's equipment, and immediately waved his halberd, and his command flew up with 15,000 horsemen.
Ma Chao couldn't bear to send troops several times, but Xu Huang beside him had a cold face, and the order flag in his hand did not move at all, Lu Chengjun paid the most attention to military discipline and strict military orders, Xu Huang did not issue military orders, Ma Chao had to wait.
Seeing that Yan Xing's army was a hundred steps closer to Ma Chaojun's army, Yan Xing couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Ma Chaojun was not moving: New army! Now that the speed and power have the upper hand, this victory is over!
Xu Huang waved the order flag in his hand slightly, and tens of thousands of armored horsemen took bows and arrows and shot towards Yan Xingjun.
Yan Xing couldn't help sneering when he saw this, riding and shooting, riding and shooting, what is riding and shooting?
Riding and shooting is to run in the flying horse, if everyone can ride and shoot, how can Qianghu drag the Han Hundred Years War? Just let a coach wait for what is riding and shooting?
"Projectile!"
Yan Xing said as he took an arrow and shot it at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao immediately raised his shield to block, even so, there were more than a dozen arrows inserted in his body, but more arrows were blocked by the bright light armor on his body, Ma Chao immediately turned his horse's head and ran to the side with palpitations, and suddenly the entire Ma Chao army was like an inverted figure-eight shape towards the two wings of Yan Xingjun.
Yan Xing looked coldly: Carving insect skills.
At that moment, he ordered someone to rush towards Ma Chaojun on one side.
The reason why the cavalry is in the era of cold weapons is because of the impact force caused by high speed, and then there is cavalry shooting, such as moving pillboxes.
However, the Hu people are not good at forging iron, so they are very short of arrows, and even the weapons are very rough, and the Qiang-Hu battles are almost always head-to-head after a few rounds of arrow rain.
Yan Xing was also accustomed to this method, but it was a pity that Ma Chao's army came out in two, revealing countless strong crossbows one or two hundred steps away, and the cavalry couldn't dodge it at all at the same high speed.
Yan Xing shouted, "Quick, quickly disperse towards the wings."
