Pang Tong, accompanied by Pang De, climbed the city wall of Jiameng Pass, condescendingly, and looked westward, but saw that the mountain road leading to the west was red, and the corpses were all over the field, and Ma Chao was leading his subordinates to fight fiercely with the enemy in the third boulder barrier, and the Sichuan soldiers had fallen behind, and there was a great tendency to be invincible.

"General Ma is really a brave man, I didn't expect that with only a hundred people, he could open the passage to the west." After reading it, Pang Tong said with a sigh of emotion.

Without waiting for Pang De to speak, Pang Tong immediately turned his head and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Go and call General Xu here quickly." ”

Xu Huang was reorganizing his troops and horses in the barracks at this time, and Pang Tong sent someone to find him, and he followed the man to the city wall of Jiameng Pass.

Who knows, as soon as Xu Huang stood on the city wall, a red earth outside the gate came into his eyes, which made his body shock.

In the distance, Ma Chao led his subordinates to fight fiercely with the Sichuan soldiers in the fourth boulder barrier, and he could vaguely hear the shouting and killing sound in the distance, but what he could see was the Sichuan soldiers who were constantly falling.

Those Sichuan soldiers looked vulnerable in front of Ma Chao, looking from the first boulder barrier, a corpse, the entire mountain road was stained red with blood, and under the sunlight, it looked so eye-catching.

Xu Huang never expected that Ma Chao would be so brave that he would only take a hundred people to attack the layers of defense set up by the Sichuan soldiers.

Pang Tong saw Xu Huang coming, with a hint of surprise on his face, so he hurriedly said, "General Xu, are you willing to lead an army to follow behind Ma Chao and attack him alternately?" ”

Xu Huang didn't say a word, and directly hugged his fists and said: "I'll gather the soldiers and horses!" ”

didn't wait for Pang Tong to say anything. Xu Huang turned around and went down the stairs, but Pang Tong's words came from behind him. "It's better to be an elite soldier, and the number of people should not be too large."

"Understood." Xu Huang responded. The pace has become faster.

"Strategist, I am also willing to lead an army to kill the enemy." Pound took the initiative to ask.

Pang Tong said: "No, it is enough for General Arima and General Xu to attack alternately, and I have other arrangements for you." ”

"Please show me the military advisor." Although Pang De was unhappy in his heart, he never came out, and said respectfully.

Pang Tong stretched out his finger and pointed to the huge stones piled up on the mountain road, and said to Pang De: "Do you see those huge stones?" ”

"See."

"Your mission is to clear the trail of these obstacles, as well as the dead bodies in the trail, and keep the trail clear. Get ready for my army to march! Pang Tong said.

"The last general understands, and the last general is going to gather the team." Pang De hugged Pang Tong slightly, "The last general will leave." ”

Pang Tong nodded, and said meaningfully: "It's best to let the Qiang people do these things, and when they see the corpses of those dead Sichuan soldiers, maybe their mood will be better." ”

"Yes."

Pang De went down the tower, Pang Tong looked at the figure of Ma Chao who was fighting fiercely with the enemy army in the distance, but frowned, and secretly thought in his heart: "Ma Chao is brave." And he has a very high reputation in Liangzhou, especially in the hearts of the Qiang people, who worship him as a god. Ma Chao only raised his arms and shouted, and the Qiang people willingly drove him. Coupled with the fact that he has more than 100,000 Liangzhou troops, it is no wonder that the regent is worried about him, and it is me. I won't trust him too much, this crusade against Yizhou. The regent only chose him, could it be that the regent wanted him to crusade against Yizhou after that. Just let him stay in Yizhou to remove his influence in Liangzhou? ”

Pang Tong is a thoughtful person, and he thinks more far-reaching, such as today's big decision, only the southwest corner has not been recovered, once the southwest is pacified, then it means that the country is unified, so then those warriors should rest, right?

Win the world immediately, you can't rule the world immediately, at that time, a well-educated person like him who has a full stomach and a lot of knowledge will become a person who is reused by the imperial court.

Compared to others, he feels that he not only has civil governance, but also martial arts. The regent personally led the army to the west, Ma Chao surrendered in fear, although there was no credit to him, but he was expelled from Xianbei, and the Western Regions were all his credits. After the reunification of the country, I believe that his official position will not be low, and he may even become a member of the cabinet, and then it will be the time for him to show his great ambition, and it is also the moment when he will be remembered by history.

As soon as he thought of this, Pang Tong smiled heartily, and his eyes were full of hope for his future.

The hundred elite soldiers led by Ma Chao have overcome five boulder obstacles in a row, and their bodies are almost covered with blood, six of the hundred elite soldiers have been killed in the melee, and the rest are already out of breath.

So, Ma Chao ordered everyone to rest, and it was not too late to attack after they had recovered some of their bodies.

However, as soon as everyone sat down, a dense number of arrows flew in the air, and the sudden scene immediately shocked the spirits of Ma Chao and others, and the shield soldiers raised their shields one after another, protecting their companions and letting them rest under the cover of the shield.

The arrows crackled outside, but the soldiers under the shield all laughed, they were born and died with Ma Chao, experienced countless battles large and small, and lived the days of licking blood on the knife edge, and were proud of it.

"These bunnies, if they can't beat them, they can only hide in the distance and shoot us with arrows, but they don't see if their arrows can hurt us." A soldier shouted.

"They know we're running out of arrows, so they're here to deliver them to us, right?" Another soldier continued.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone laughed again.

At this time, there was movement behind Ma Chao and the others, and a soldier braved the rain of arrows to climb the boulder and look back, but saw that Xu Huang was rushing towards them with a wave of soldiers.

The soldier returned to the shield again and shouted loudly to the front: "General, General Xu is here with a team of soldiers, it seems that he has come to support us!" ”

Before Ma Chao could answer, the soldiers on the side said first: "Who let them support?" I didn't see them come when we charged, and now it's up to us to make a difference. I want to grab credit again, it's shameless! ”

"It's just ......," the group chimed in.

Ma Chao didn't think so. He said to the crowd: "It is not necessary to take credit. We fought very hard, and the body was consumed quickly. It is said that the mountain roads in front of us are full of Sichuan soldiers, not to mention thousands of people, and we may not be able to kill them until tomorrow. I think they came at the right time, they could take our place for a while, and when we came to rest, they would switch to them, and then replace the attack. It's not too tiring either. General Xu is here in a while, don't talk nonsense, whoever dares to speak disrespectfully, I will kill him! ”

Everyone stopped talking, Ma Chao's words were orders, and none of them dared to disobey.

After a while, Xu Huang took the lead in climbing over the boulder obstacle and jumped into the area where Ma Chao and the others were, holding a round shield in his hand. Although small, his body is curled up, just enough to completely cover him underneath and protect him from the arrows.

The rain of arrows continued. The mountain path ahead was even more full of people, all squatting on the ground, hiding under rectangular shields. Xu Huang couldn't see where Ma Chao was.

So, Xu Huang shouted at the front: "General Ma! ”

Ma Chao's response came from the front. asked, "General Xu came from afar, I should have picked you up." However, the road is narrow and cannot be passed, so please ask General Xu for forgiveness! ”

Xu Huang said: "General Ma, are you hurting me?" I'm here to support you, such a long mountain road, so many soldiers, just rely on you people, when will you kill the head, and I believe that the further you advance, the tighter the defense will be. ”

After Ma Chao's subordinates heard Xu Huang's words, they were all indignant, and they all felt that Xu Huang seemed to look down on them, but because Ma Chao gave a big order in advance, everyone dared to talk more, but in their hearts, they scolded Xu Huang completely.

"General Xu came to support, Ma Chao was flattered, since General Xu has this intention, then I will thank General Xu in advance. General Xu, now we need to rest, your subordinates are just here, why don't we exchange them, how about you attack? Ma Chao asked.

Xu Huang said: "Then please General Ma lead his subordinates to retreat temporarily, you guys, the road is blocked, and my subordinates and I can't get through." ”

"Okay, please General Xu get out of the way, and we'll evacuate." Ma Chao shouted.

After the two sides exchanged words, Xu Huang asked his subordinates to get out of the way, and Ma Chao ordered the soldiers to retreat, and after some tossing, Xu Huang led the crowd to exchange with Ma Chao, this time, Ma Chao and others were hiding behind, watching from a distance how the people led by Xu Huang attacked the Sichuan soldiers.

Ma Chao shouted: "General Xu, it's up to you!" ”

Xu Huang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Zhang Wei beside him, he and Zhang Wei jumped up at the same time, braving the rain of arrows and shooting arrows at the Sichuan soldiers behind the boulder barrier, the arrows flew over like meteors, and immediately the Sichuan soldiers fell down.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang commanded his subordinates to shoot arrows, among the hundred soldiers he brought, there were seventy people holding bows and arrows, after Xu Huang's order, they all shot back into the sky, the arrows flew into the air first, and then drew an arc and fell on the ground, after the seventy arrows fell, the enemy on the opposite side immediately came from the screams one after another.

But then the enemy counterattacked, and the arrows also shot towards Xu Huang, without Xu Huang's order, Xu Huang's soldiers hid under the round shield, everyone curled up and protected their bodies, only to hear the sound of crackling arrows falling.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang gave an order, taking advantage of the gap in the enemy's arrows, and released the arrows to the enemy again, after two or three shots, Xu Huang's side was unscathed, and the enemy's side was already full of corpses, and the arrows of the counterattack became very loose.

Ma Chao had been watching the battle from behind, and when he saw such a scene, he didn't say anything, but he had to admit that Xu Huang's playing style was very stable, and Xu Huang's equipment was very sophisticated, the round shield and armor were all first-class, and the equipment of his subordinates was immediately dwarfed by them.

However, Ma Chao was quickly relieved, after all, Xu Huang was once one of the five tiger generals under Zhang Yan's account, he had followed Zhang Yan for a long time, and he was Zhang Yan's confidant and favorite general, so the equipment of his subordinates would naturally be better than that of other troops.

Ma Chao was thinking that when he pacified Yizhou, he would also be rewarded, and he got a lot of wealth from Zhang Lu, which could be used to replace the equipment of the soldiers and make his troops more sophisticated.

In this way, he can have a foothold in the new court.

The enemy's counterattack was much weaker, Xu Huang immediately ordered a charge, he bore the brunt of the attack, put the bow and arrow on his back, held a steel knife in his hand, jumped into the boulder barrier, and glanced at the enemy army in front of him with a sharp gaze, and roughly counted, there are less than forty people left in a hundred people, and there are more than a dozen people who are wounded, so there are only more than twenty people left who can fight.

Xu Huang roared, jumped off the boulder barrier, held a shield in one hand and a knife forged of steel in the other, and rushed towards the enemy, and behind him, his subordinates jumped over one after another, shouting and rushing over. (To be continued......)
