"In other words, whether we can hold it or not depends on the effect of our pursuit, as long as the pursuit is good, the Xiliang army can be stuck between Tielong and Yangping Pass by these 6,000 soldiers."

"How is the lord treated?"

Liu Zhang frowned and thought for a while, and said loudly: "Come on, take a pen and paper." ”

The soldier handed over the pen and paper, Liu Zhang wrote it, handed it to a young general, and said: "Immediately hurry to the Qishan Pass, which is the place where Xiao Furong's barbarian army must pass, send more people to wait, and hand over this letter to her." ”

"Yes."

"Lord, don't stop the Xiliang army?" Fa Zhengdao, Xiao Furong's army's original plan was to rush to Tielong Mutai and Shangguan, and guard it tightly, so as not to let the Xiliang army escape a single soldier.

"Of course, we must intercept it, and we must also form a grassland cavalry, otherwise, in the future, if we attack Xiliang, will we still rely on infantry to fight?"

This time the infantry against the cavalry, although the victory, but the preparation of too much, and the use of geographical advantages, it can be said that all kinds of conditions to the extreme, the result is still a miserable victory, the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, outflanking the Xiliang cavalry, the speed of the heavy infantry, almost wiped out.

If you go to Yongliang in the future, you are still an infantry, then in the vast place of Yongliang, there is no strong city, you can only be beaten passively, let alone capture Xiliang, even if you build a stable military station, it is difficult.

Fa Zheng didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant, but when he heard that Liu Zhang would not let Xiao Furong intercept Xiliang's ride, he was a little worried, Liu Zhang saw it, and he also knew that he was a little risky, but he was rich and dangerous, not to mention that he was not without relying on it.

"Someone, bring Ma Yunlu out, and the whole army will pursue the Xiliang Army."

"Yes."

Guan Yinping's eyebrows frowned.

…………

Outside the camp of the Xiliang Army, Ma Xiu Ma Tie asked the soldiers to flee with the seriously injured Ma Chao Ma Dai, and I don't know how many people were trampled on the twenty-mile mountain road, and how many cavalry fell off the cliff, but I saw the fire of the camp in front of me.

"What to do, what to do." Seeing that the camp was burned, the Qiang cavalry in the rear pursued, and now not only the Qiang soldiers who were attached to Han Sui surrendered. Even those who were attached to Ma began to surrender, and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie had no idea.

"The two young generals, now only one team of palace queens is left, and the rest of the people are directly killed by Tielong, pass through the Guanmutai, and return to Xiliang." Xiliang General Pang Rou said.

"Who's the queen? Who's the Queen? Matthew said urgently.

Ma Tiedao, who looked boyish: "Since General Pang is asking for his life, let General Pang be the queen of His Royal Highness." ”

"I'm ......," Pang Rou struggled for a moment, "Our department has suffered heavy casualties. If the major general wants to be the last general, please allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Allocated to the soldiers? We are just counting people now, and we still allocate them to soldiers and horses? Ma Tie said angrily, and suddenly his expression changed: "Oh, I know, good you Pang Rou, your brother Pang De has surrendered, do you want to surrender too, and you still want to earn my soldiers and horses." How can this be reasonable, come and escort Pang Rou up. ”

"Major General, Mo Han's heart is a loyal general." Pang Rou shouted loudly.

"What kind of loyal general are you, this time we are defeated. It's because Pound defected to the enemy, you and your brother are the same as you......" Matthew said loudly, the more he spoke, the more angry he became, as if the defeat of the Xiliang army was really because Pound defected to the enemy.

Pang Rou is the brother of Pang De (according to Romance. non-canonical history), Pang De defected to the enemy, Pang Rou was neither incomprehensible nor disdainful. has never had the idea of surrendering, because of Pang De's relationship, Pang Rou's department is the most ferocious one, so there are heavy casualties.

Xiliang is now a warlord and a bully of the weak, Han Sui's Qiben Eight Cavalry is a warlord, and Ma's is also a warlord, and when there is no unified foreign enemy, they will fight each other.

It is precisely because of this that Pang Rou refused to be the queen of his palace, this time following the Ma family to the south, the Pang family tribe poured out, if they can't go back, the Pang family will be annihilated.

This is just a way to survive in the cool and bitter cold land, and it does not mean that Pang Rou has two hearts for Ma, Ma Xiu said this, which made Pang Rou angry.

"Ma Tie Ma Tie, Hugh is rude." Ma Chao weakly interrupted Ma Xiu's words, and said in a firm tone: "I believe in Pang Rou, and I believe in Pang De, the Pang family is loyal and martyrful, and I will not betray." ”

"Big brother." Matthew said urgently.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Qiang cavalry covered the defeated army of Liang to the west in a black line, followed by the Sichuan infantry led by Huang Zhong.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Ma Xiu looked at the generals one by one: "You, who is the queen of the palace?" ”

All the generals, including the cavalry leaders such as Xian Lingqiang, were silent, and the Xiliang warlords could unite when they were united with the outside world, but when they reached the end of the road, they could also be scattered.

The Sichuan army and the Qiang cavalry approached, and before they could cover the killing, they rushed out on a fast horse and shouted to the defeated army of Xiliang: "Spread the order of the great general Shu Hou Liu Huangshu, our Sichuan army and the Xiliang army are fighting in a dignified manner, and they will not be allowed to flee in defeat, if they are defeated and flee, our army will dispose of this woman at will." ”

After the cavalry shouted, a car drove out, and on it was Ma Yunlu, who was tied.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and the generals of the Ma family were all shocked and angry, they didn't expect Ma Yunlu's identity to be exposed, and they didn't expect Liu Zhang to use this as a threat.

Ma Tie shouted loudly: "The two armies are fighting, why do you want to blackmail your daughters? He Liu Zhang still wants to be shameless. ”

"Xiliang rules, the defeated and the female relatives return to the winner." After the Sichuan cavalry finished shouting, they didn't say anything more, turned their horses back to the battle, and at the same time a large number of Qiang cavalry began to charge.

"Engage, engage." Ma Tie Ma Xiu shouted.

"No." Ma Chao shouted with all his might, although he was also angry, but he knew that at this time, the formation of the Xiliang Army was scattered, and the morale was completely lost, and the only way to engage in the battle was to die.

"If we don't fight, my sister will be ravaged by the Sichuan army." Ma Tie shouted hatefully, and Ma Xiu said loudly: "Whoever doesn't kill the enemy is the enemy of my Xiliang Ma clan, and if you return to Xiliang, you will be killed." ”

Ma Xiu shouted and led the Ma cavalry to rush out first, and those Qiang cavalry who were attached to the Ma clan, especially the first Lingqiang, had already broken with Han Sui, and they were afraid of Ma's revenge, so they also rushed out.

"Come back, are you going to die? Come back. Ma Chao shouted, causing internal injuries and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Xiliang cavalry messily engaged the Qiang army, the state of the Qiang army is not much better, the two military horses collided, each other consumed, Tsing Yi Qiang and other Xiqiang leaders were afraid of letting go of Ma Chao, was retaliated, and they all tried their best to kill, Ma Xiu Ma Tie was full of anger and struggled to resist, the original friendly army, life and death struggle.

The Sichuan infantry passed through the spear formations on both wings of the Qiang cavalry and outflanked the Liang army to the west.

"It's over, it's over." Ma Chao watched Ma Xiu and Ma Tie fall into the sea of people from the Sichuan army and Qiang cavalry. I know that if the Sichuan infantry completes the encirclement, all the Xiliang riders will not want to return to Xiliang.

At this moment, Pang Rou took advantage of the nervous watching of the battle situation of the two soldiers, violently broke free of the restraints, and snatched the battle knife. killed two soldiers with one sword, beckoned his own soldiers and horses to hold other soldiers and horses hostage, and for a while the rear army of the Xiliang Army was tense.

"General Pang, do you really want to betray me?" Ma Chao asked.

"Major General, don't blame Pang Rou, Ma Xiu Ma Tie is chilling, and this time my Pang family brothers did not go to battle with the two major generals to die, and they will be retaliated against when they return to Xiliang, and Pang Rou has to do it."

The people of Xiliang are happy to take revenge. There was not so much tolerance, first Pang De surrendered to the enemy, and then Pang Rou refused to fight, no matter whether Ma Xiu Ma Tie was alive or dead, if he was alive. Ma Xiu Ma Tie will take revenge on Pang Rou, if he dies, it will be even worse, and Ma Teng will be able to destroy the Pang family.

Pang Rou has nowhere to go.

"But. Major General, just by what you just said, Pang Zong Zhonglie. will not betray, I, Pang Rou, am willing to help the young general one last time, he will meet on the battlefield one day, and the young general will only take off Pang Rou's head. ”

Pang Rou bowed to Ma Chao and ordered the subordinates to shout loudly: "Kill Ma Chao and Ma Dai, and destroy the Ma family." ”

Saying that, he led the soldiers and horses to kill the Ma tribe, but did not move Ma Chao Ma Dai's hair, Ma's cavalry hurriedly escorted Ma Chao Ma Dai and left, and Pang Rou chased and killed.

Ma Xiu Ma Tie of the battle formation was furious, worried about the two elder brothers, and hurriedly transferred the army back to the army to kill, and the Qiang cavalry in the rear chased and killed.

Ma Chao was protected by his own soldiers, and glanced at Pang Rou, who was shouting in the rear but did not pursue, knowing that Pang Rou's move was a great help to the Xiliang army, if it wasn't for his rebellion, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie would not have withdrawn from the battle before the Sichuan army was encircled, even if it was covered up, it was better than being surrounded and annihilated.

Although Pang Rou rebelled, the Xiliang army he saved was more than betrayed.

It's just that such a loyal martyr, once he defects, he will never come back.

Ma Xiu Ma Tie and Ma Chao's subordinates merged into one, bypassed the camps of the Xiliang army on fire, and killed in the direction of Tielong, and the Qiang soldiers continued to cover and kill.

"Hateful, hateful, this has made the horses run away." Liu Zhang led his own soldiers to arrive, but only to see the back of the Qiang soldiers chasing and killing the Xiliang army, leaving a large number of corpses, full of unwillingness.

"The whole army continues to pursue the Xiliang horse bandits, pass on my order, kill Ma Chao, reward a thousand gold, promote the official to three levels, capture Ma Chao alive, seal the marquis, and add the general."

"The lord's decree, kill Ma Chao, reward a thousand gold, promote the official to the third level, capture Ma Chao alive, seal the marquis, and add the general." The rangers shouted loudly, and the Sichuan army and the Qiang cavalry quickly pursued and killed.

…………

"Xiliang Pang Rou, meet Uncle Liu Huang." Pang Rou led the Pang family to surrender.

"Pang Clan, the die-hard general of the Xiliang Ma Clan, Ben Hou has heard a little, why did he vote for me." Liu Zhang didn't look at Pang Rou.

"From the righteousness of his brother Pound." Pang Rou replied.

"Pound didn't vote for me." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice.

Pang Rou raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhang, who looked as usual, he had never believed that his younger brother would betray Ma Chao, although he was surprised at this time, he was not surprised, and said: "Ma Xiu Ma Tie, don't listen to people's words, fight to the death with the emperor's uncle's army, trapping me is equivalent to death, and I have no choice but to betray him." ”

"What's the use of keeping you?"

Pang Rou glanced at Liu Zhang and said loudly: "Then please ask Uncle Huang to give me a sword." ”

Liu Zhang took off the sword and threw it over, Pang Rou took it, immediately drew the sword to his neck, and was about to pull it down, Liu Zhang said slowly: "Okay, this Hou can accommodate people from all over the world, I'm just worried about your Pang family's relatives in Xiliang, if you want to be good, follow me to chase and kill the Xiliang army." ”

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he galloped forward in pursuit.

…………

The Xiliang army passed through the battle of Ma Xiu Ma Tie, although it was not annihilated, but there were few cavalry left who escaped, before arriving at Tielong Pass, there were less than 10,000 people, the whole army was miserable, the physical strength was exhausted, and the combat power was completely empty, when it was found that there was a Sichuan army stationed in Tielong Pass, and before it was fought, the whole army collapsed.

Before the Qiang cavalry arrived, the Western Liang army had to lead the cavalry into the nearby valley, and the derived force held the mountain pass.

The Qiang soldiers immediately encircled it, and then the Sichuan army arrived, and the water surrounding the valley was impassable.

The Xiliang army had no food, the whole army was tired, the army was panicked, a large number of Qiang soldiers and the Xiliang army quietly climbed out of the hillside and surrendered, Liu Zhang set up a recruiting platform outside the valley, recruited all these knights to Hu Che'er's cavalry tent, armed with captured horses.

The treatment of the recruiting platform was preached by dozens of Qiang and dozens of Han people, and the Qiang soldiers of those tribes were envious, and many Qiang soldiers also came to take refuge.

The tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers and Qiang soldiers captured on the battlefield, plus Pang Rou and the soldiers and horses who surrendered one after another, Hu Che'er quickly pulled up a cavalry team of 20,000 people, all of which were disrupted and mixed.

The Sichuan army did not have any official clauses that discriminated against barbarians, and even restricted the Han army's discrimination against barbarian soldiers, but the Qiang people and Han people were mixed, which was really inconvenient, Liu Zhang divided the cavalry into two groups, the Han cavalry was about 5,000 people, under the command of Huang Zhong, and the rest of the Qiang cavalry was under the command of Hu Che'er.

…………

In the valley, the soldiers lay on the mountain wall, Ma Chao and Ma Dai hastily bandaged the wounds, but they still couldn't move, because of the excessive force, Ma Chao's waist was not a big wound, a blood hole was broken, and the blood was almost drained, if it wasn't for Ma Chao's physical strength, he would have died.

Ma Dai was even pierced through the chest by a thin crossbow, not only was the wound unable to heal, but also had a fever and was in a coma all the time.

Ma Tie Ma Xiu was very worried, but he had no idea, and at this time a general came over to report to Ma Chao: "Major General, more than 100 soldiers have gone out to surrender, these greedy and afraid of death. ”

Ma Chao waved his hand, he didn't want to hear this at this time, 80,000 troops went south, and now there are less than 5,000 people left, Ma Chao, General Shenweitian, is already a joke.

"Liu Zhang's butcher." Ma Chao read out four words in a deep voice, the people of Xiliang have no hatred of being defeated by strength, only the sadness of the wolf losing its pack.

If you can rush to kill, at this time, I can't wait to fight with Liu Zhang, it's a big deal, anyway, I don't have the face to go back to Xiliang, a few years of Yongliang, a crime in Sichuan and Shu, it turned out to be such an ending, it's ridiculous that I came with a strong momentum, and I was determined to win, but it was such a fiasco.

How can I not be worthy of my father, worthy of the Ma family, and worthy of Xiliang Erlang who died in battle.

"Major General." Yan Kuo, the general of the Ma clan, said: "So far, there is only one way out. ”

"What's the way out?" Ma Chao asked casually.

"Surrender Liu Zhang." Yan Kuo said in a deep voice.

The generals looked at each other, and Ma Xiu Ma Tie said loudly: "What, you want us to surrender to Liu Zhang?" Liu Zhang defeated my army, killed my brother, and kidnapped my sister, what kind of heart do you Yan Kuo'an? Do you also want to follow the Pang brothers? ”

"That's enough." Ma Chao roared, pulled the wound, frowned deeply, looked at Ma Tie Ma Xiu coldly, and said, "If you weren't foolish, how would Pang Rou betray me?" Still talking here, get out of the way. ”

Ma Xiu Ma Tie bowed his head and retreated.

Ma Chao turned to Yan Kuo and said, "You go on." ”

Yan Kuo bowed and said: "Major General, the last general made this plan precisely because of Miss and my Xiliang Army, if we surrender to Liu Zhang, not only can we return to Xiliang, but Miss can also return safely."

In the future, in Xiliang, we will at most fight Liu Zhang's banner, and there will be no losses, and we will have one more powerful ally, and it will be easier to survive among dozens of warlords in Yongliang. (To be continued.) )
