Now Meng Qi and Wen Yue have been defeated. Of the 170,000 cavalry, only 50,000 remained, and 80,000 foot soldiers. Losing Jincheng and even Liangzhou is really defeated. ”

Ma Teng said with a bitter smile.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen beforehand.

250,000 horsemen, including 170,000 cavalry. The cavalry is like a forest and rain, which the Chu State can't catch up with, that's where the pride lies.

In the blink of an eye, the pride was shattered, and it was miserable.

"Today's situation can only defend Xianyang and Chang'an. Then wait for reinforcements from the east, or from the north, to fight again with the Chu State. Zhong Xuan also smiled bitterly and said.

"That's all there is to it."

Ma Teng smiled bitterly again and nodded.

Immediately, Ma Teng was invigorated, raised his head and glanced at Yan Xing, Yan Xing's spirit was much better at this moment, obviously it was Zhong Xuan's words just now that made him regain hope.

Seeing this, Ma Teng was sure and said: "Next, it is the real time of life and death, thanks to the general." ”

"Lord Qin, don't worry, I will do my best." Yan Xing also knew the current situation, and it was absolutely right to follow Ma Teng for the time being. So, I lifted my spirits and said.

"Hmm." Ma Teng nodded happily, then raised his head and glanced at Ma Chao, Pang De and other Qin generals, and said, "You wait, the real test has arrived." ”

"No." Ma Chao, Pang De and others all responded to the promise.

At this moment, the Qin State led by Ma Teng, the people of the Liang State, seem to have the arrogance of Liu Bei back then, and they will fight again after defeat, and they will fight again after defeat, and the arrogance that vows to block the Chu State is almost monstrous.

………………….

Xiliang, Wuwei.

Wuwei City, standing in the west of Liangzhou. In all dynasties, it was the seat of Liangzhou, that is, the political center of Liangzhou. At the beginning, Han Sui also set the governance here.

But it was only at the beginning, and at this moment, this city has been occupied by the Chu army.

The distinctive "Chu" handsome flag on the city clearly tells everyone the belonging of this city.

Wuwei has a very high status in Liangzhou, and there are many people in the city and around it, with 100,000 people. This is also very rare in Liangzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated.

At this moment, the people who either entered the city or went out of the city had to accept that they suddenly changed from the people of Liangguo to the embarrassment of the people of Chu.

It's not just embarrassment, but also a certain amount of resentment. Although Han Sui and Ma Teng were both madmen who were reckless, Han Sui had a good relationship with the Qiang people, and Liangzhou was able to stay safe and sound under the wolf eyes of the Qiang people, and Liangzhou was well preserved.

It is to have a certain popular base.

Especially the people in the Xiliang area, they still have a certain awe of Han Sui. Fortunately, this awe is not deep, after all, it is a reckless army, the country is very poor, and the people are not happy.

In addition, after Zhao Yun occupied Wuwei, he showed the tolerant side of the Chu State, which also made the situation relatively stable.

The people have changed from the people of Liangguo to the people of Chu, and they have not disliked too many waves, and they have spent it relatively peacefully.

In the city, in the palace.

Zhao Yun stood in front of a screen, staring at the screen with his eyes. There is a map of the mountains and rivers around Liangzhou embroidered on it, but what Zhao Yun is staring at is not Liangzhou, but the vast Qiangzhong region.

Now the army of Chu has swept away the three counties of Xiliang such as Wuwei, Xicheng, and Zhangye like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Then, return to the army Wuwei.

Large-scale hoarding of food in Wuwei, driving a crossbow bed at the head of the city, and preparing boulders, arrows and other equipment to defend the city. Zhao Yun's purpose is very simple, that is, to keep Wuwei in the stormy attack of the Qiang people.

Keep the spoils of Chu in this Northern Expedition, Liangzhou.

It's just that Zhao Yun knows that even so, he still can't hide the gap in strength. Although he had 50,000 cavalry, plus the 20,000 foot soldiers sent by Fa Zheng who had just arrived the day before.

It's only 70,000. According to intelligence, the cavalry of the Qiang people was at least more than 200,000. That's a huge gap.

With 200,000 cavalry soldiers approaching the city, it will be difficult for them to enter and exit, and it will be impossible to supply food. can only rely on the grain reserves in the city to survive, in order to expect the Son of Heaven to break Ma Teng and Cao Hong in the east, and then enter Chang'an and break through Tongguan.

Then go back to the army to rescue them.

In addition to this, Zhao Yun also had to ensure that the cavalry of the Qiang tribe would not take the opportunity to go south. Attack Jincheng and plague Liangzhou.

It can be said that the task is daunting.

"If you don't have the will to die, it's hard to defend." After looking at the map for a long time, Zhao Yun finally said. His face was full of determination, and he was already prepared for the decisive battle.

At that moment, the ground shook slightly.

Zhao Yun clearly felt it, and couldn't help but change his complexion, Wuwei is a big city, eight miles long and six miles short. It can be said that it is very vast, and the Taishou Mansion where he is located is in the center of the city.

Standing here, you can feel the shaking of the ground, and the speed of the war horse is definitely elite. No less than four or five hundred thousand. Judging from the configuration of one man and two horses, there are definitely 200,000 cavalry.

The Qiang people are here.

"Someone, prepare armor."

Zhao Yun suddenly turned around and yelled.

"No." The soldiers outside the door said yes and walked in. began to help Zhao Yun put on his armor, and after a while, Zhao Yun, who was wearing a silver and white armor, walked out proudly.

To the west of the city, Zhao Yun stood at the head of the city, looking at the west.

All around were solemn-looking foot soldiers, either with repeaters in their hands or standing on the edge of their repeater beds, ready to fight.

"Open the gates."

After standing at the head of the city for a while, Zhao Yun ordered.

"What?"

Some of the generals beside him suspected that they had misheard and lost their voices. Open the gates? This large-scale cavalry, hiding in the city to defend, is too late, actually open the city gate?

However, no one would think that Zhao Yun would open the city gate and surrender, because Zhao Yun had a high status and had always been loyal.

"Is the general going out of the city to fight him? I'm afraid something is wrong. A general said euphemistically to Zhao Yun.

It's not that he looks down on his own cavalry, but because the number is too small, only more than 50,000, compared to the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Qiang tribe, it is too small.

Moreover, the Qiang cavalry is the real expert, and the people on horseback, fighting with it, even if they have the convenience of stirrups, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain the upper hand.

"Ben will have his own strategy, just open the city gate." Zhao Yun has always been a gentle and elegant figure, a bit similar to a Confucian general, and people can't help but forget that Zhao Yun himself is a brave and warlike enemy. At this moment, Zhao Yun changed his gentleness and decidedness, and ordered.

"No." The general was taken by Zhao Yun's momentum, and did not dare to say anything more, so he promised and walked down.

Soon after, the gates were opened.

Then, Zhao Yun carried a spear, rode a healthy horse, and led dozens of cavalry out of the city slowly, facing the west, with a solemn face.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry pressed the border, not only opened the city gates, but also the general rode out of the city to meet the battle with dozens of cavalry.

Let's not talk about whether Zhao Yun is rational or not, just talk about this guts, which is absolutely unparalleled in the world.

Soon, the shaking of the ground became stronger and stronger, and finally a black shadow appeared in the west, and soon after, the figures of countless cavalry appeared in the sight of the Chu army.

It's really like a forest and a feather, a huge cavalry that can't be seen at a glance.

Seeing such a huge cavalry, whether it was a soldier, an officer, or a general, they couldn't help but feel shocked, and their hands couldn't help but hold the blades in their hands tightly.

To be honest, I was a little stunned.

In fact, not only the Chu army was suppressed, but even the Qiang cavalry was also suppressed and stopped.

Most of the Qiang cavalry have seen the appearance of the Han people guarding the city, which is the gate is closed, and they have never taken the initiative to open the gate like Zhao Yun, and then dozens of cavalry are killed, as if they want to fight hundreds of thousands of troops with dozens of cavalry.

This is either self-defeating, or there is something tricky in it.

"What's going on?" As the commander of the southward march of the army, Tuxiong was also suppressed by this formation and couldn't help asking. The object is naturally the Han princes, Han Sui.

"I don't know this lonely, but I must be a little self-assured." Han Sui said, guessing that Zhao Yun had something to rely on, otherwise it would definitely not be like this.

Tu Xiong also felt so, so he didn't dare to venture forward. Just when the Qiang people were staggering, they only heard a roar in the city ahead.

"Qiang heroes, dare to call Zhao Yun for a while?"

"Qiang heroes, dare to call Zhao Yun for a while?"

The voices of thousands of people changed the color of the clouds.

"That's Zhao Yun?" Tu Xiong was taken aback and looked up. Among the dozens of horsemen ahead, sure enough, one was the Silver Armor General. Tu Xiong definitely never thought that Zhao Yun would actually appear in such a way.

"Is that the main general?" Han Sui was also taken aback, but he was also more dignified, and couldn't help but say to Tuxiong: "I'm afraid there is really a trick." ”

Tuxiong thinks so, too. However, not everyone thinks so.

"Marshal, it's not the Longtan Tiger's Den, it's just that the other general invited you over for a while. If you don't go, it's too embarrassing. The Qiang general said.

"Yes, the other party is just dozens of cavalry. We also rode over with dozens of horses, and the two sides met in the middle, and it was safe. Another Qiang cavalryman said.

Tuxiong's heart suddenly hesitated, too, if he didn't go, wouldn't it be too faceless. Don't underestimate this, Tuxiong is still very young and has just succeeded to the throne.

If you lose face, your prestige will be damaged. Those younger brothers, didn't they all jump out and compete with him for the position of patriarch?

When Han Sui saw this, he immediately knew that it was impossible not to go. After planning in his mind, he suggested: "Listening to the meaning of Chu Jun, it seems that he doesn't know that the person who led the troops this time is you, and he didn't name him." However, if you send a fierce general over, you will not lose your prestige, and you will not be in danger of your life. ”

"Okay." Tuxiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted loudly
