Chapter 342: Ma Chaozhong

Two days! After the night, the Taoist figure sneakily arrived at the city of Defengli, and the soldiers of the city knew that he appeared at once, and the torches were shining brightly for a while, and at the same time he opened his bow and arrows, and pointed at this person with sharp arrows.

I saw this person raise his hands high, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't release arrows, I am a messenger sent by Dai Gongzi." ”

When the soldiers in the city heard it, they all said strangely: "Dai Gongzi? At this time, a man dressed as a general came out and shouted: "Nonsense! Dai Gongzi was caught by Zhang Xiu's thief's trickery, how could he send someone to come, this person is an enemy spies! put

Seeing that the "arrow" behind the word "put" was about to exit, the man in the city said: "I am Ma Ji, a sergeant of the Ma family, and I escaped from the enemy camp with a letter from the son of Dai. ”

Markey heard it and said, "It's true." How can it be false? ”

The man dressed as a general looked around, and there was no enemy ambush under the light of the torches, but he still did not dare to be careless, and ordered: "Put down the hanging basket." Hang it up, and you go and report to the eldest prince. ”

Markey was hung into the city, and he was kept under strict guard, and after about half an hour of waiting, a soldier came to preach and said, "Markey, the eldest prince wants to see you." ”

Maki was taken to the mansion where Maki was staying. When he entered the main hall, he saw Ma, Ma Yue and Ma Xiu in a row, and Ma Ji immediately knelt down and saluted the three. On the main throne, Ma Yue asked first: "Ma Ji, but is there any news of Dai Gongzi?" ”

Ma Ji nodded and said to Ma Yue, "Please borrow the dagger from the general." ”

Ma Yue could hear it. Qi Dao: "Dagger? ”

Ma Ji said: The villain hid Dai Gongzi's letter in his body, and he needed a dagger to cut the flesh to take out the letter. ”

The three people in the hall heard this, and moved at the same time, Ma Yue waved his hand, and a personal guard stepped forward to hand the dagger to Ma Ji, but did not let his guard down. Markey took off his pants, and the crowd saw several scars on his thighs, only to see that Markey had taken the dagger and sharpened it at one of the larger scars. At the same time, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, and he pressed it on his thigh, and soon, a wax pill floated out of his thigh.

Ma Ji took the wax pill, handed it forward with both hands, and said, "This is a letter from the son of Dai." ”

Seeing this, Ma Yue hurriedly said, "Quickly call Lang Zhong to treat Ma Ji's injuries." ”

Markey shook his head and said, "Borrow the general with fire." Ma Yue nodded, and the guard handed Ma Ji an oil lamp in the hall, and Ma Ji put the dagger on the oil lamp and roasted it for a while, and then put the blade of the dagger on the wound.

"Shen..."

"Hmph

A smell of flesh came, and the wound on Maki's thigh was burned with a red-hot dagger, and the bleeding was immediately stopped, and the wound was stitched up. It's just a big scar on the thigh.

Seeing the cold sweat on Ma Ji's forehead, but he just snorted, Ma Xiu couldn't help but praise: "Good man! The horse on the other side and the horse leap on the main seat also nodded.

Ma Yue also ignored the blood on the wax pill and asked Ma Ji, "What is this?" ”

Ma Ji replied: "This is the wax pill used by Zhang Xiujun to transmit information to Lin Cun, as long as the wax pill is crushed, the letter is in it." ”

When Ma Yue heard this, his fingers pressed hard to crush the wax pill. Unfold the letters inside and look at them carefully, and the more you look at them, the more joy you get. Finally, he said: "Isn't Shenzhi being detained by Zhang Xiu?" How did you come to the front line, and how did you get in touch with Zhou Cang? ”

Ma Ji replied: "Dai Gongzi once said that Zhang Xiu summoned him to the front line to let Gongzi Yue recruit the general and the eldest prince. And Zhou Cang was scolded by Zhang Xiu's cane for no reason, and instead of being rewarded, he was rewarded for breaking the eldest son's weapon, but was resigned by Zhang Xiu and contacted Dai Gongzi because of resentment. For the general to make an internal response, break the embroidered army, this wax pill is also made by Zhou Cang to help the villain. ”

After reading it, Ma Yue glanced at Ma Yue, Ma Yue understood, and said: "Ma Ji, you are good, you have made a great contribution, and go down to rest first." Ben is going to be questioned, and naturally people will summon you. ”

Ma Ji answered, and followed Ma Yue's personal guards down.

After Ma Ji left, Ma Yue asked Ma Qi, "Meng Qi." What do you think, is there a fraud? ”

Ma frowned and said: "Uncle, looking at the handwriting of this letter, it should be a letter written by Shen, and the scout came to report earlier, Zhou Cang was scolded by Zhang Xiuji, and even his skills were discounted a few, and he was not surprised to hold a grudge, thinking that he could act according to the words of Shen." There should be no fraud, unless it is prudent to surrender to the enemy. ”

Ma Yue nodded and said, "My son is a member of the Ma family, and he will not defect to the enemy and betray the people of his father's and brother's family." ”

Ma Yi nodded and said, "Yes, besides, the scouts have news that Tai Shici led the army to break through Meixian." In the area of the south bank of Weishui and Wuzhangyuan, the connection between Guanzhong and Liangzhou has been severed, and our army and Lingming's department have been surrounded by Zhang Xiu's army. If we can't break the gap, our army will be in danger. ”

Ma Yue said: "Ma Ji who sent the letter. is a member of the Ma family's army, and Uncle Wei also recognized him. It doesn't hurt that he's so careful and loyal. ”

When Matthew heard this, he said happily: "That's it." Wouldn't my cousin be able to come back? ”

Ma Yue nodded and smiled: "Naturally." "Since Ma Dai was captured, Ma Yue hasn't shown a smile for a long time, and Ma and Ma Xiu have seen each other. I am also happy for Ma Yue. The two houses of the Ma family are very close, and Ma Dai is Ma Yue's only son. and Ma and others are like brothers, Ma Dai was captured, and the Ma family was worried, otherwise there would not be a scene of the three children of the Ma family going to Wancheng to save Ma Dai. In addition to Ma Yunlu's willfulness, the brotherhood of the Ma family can be seen.

The three of them discussed some more details, and then called Markey again, and after asking about the situation, they asked them to take good care of Markey, and when Guy attacked. It is also necessary to rely on Ma Ji to contact Zhou Cang.

All day on the second day, Ma and Ma Yue were preparing for battle, and after the sky gradually darkened. Ma and Ma Yue quietly left the city with an army of 20,000 well-fed, leaving only Ma Xiu to lead more than 2,000 soldiers to defend the city.

Tonight the night is very thick, the dense clouds in the sky will also cover the moon, especially suitable for night attacks, Ma and Ma Yue began to feel that the heavens are helping them, when the army arrived at the camp of Zhang Xiu, Ma Ji immediately stepped forward to learn three long and two short, five times in a row out of the cat meow, the camp gate opened, out of it came out of a black strong man, and the horse who had fought with him immediately recognized this person as Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang came to Ma and Ma Yue, arched his hand, and Ma Yue asked anxiously, "Where is the prudence?" ”

Zhou Cang replied angrily: "Zhang Xiu detained him in the military tent of the Chinese army camp, and sent people to guard it very strictly. Pan Fazi rescued him. However, yesterday Zhang Xiu sent all the former sergeants to the public, and he didn't know what to do, so now the former army is empty. If your army goes straight in, you can attack the Chinese army, and if you are cautious, you will be locked up in the west of the Chinese army's camp.

Ma Yue nodded when he heard this, and said, "You don't go in with us?" ”

Zhou Cang shook his head and said: "Although Zhang Xiu beat me, the brothers are still very good to me, and I won't shoot at them." If you don't believe me, you can not go into the camp, but it will be difficult to save you any more. ”

Ma Yue heard what Zhou Cang said, and said in a calm tone: "Are you trying to blackmail us? ”

Zhou Cang snorted coldly and said, "I'm a rough man." I don't know how to speak, and I can say whatever I have. Now that you are here, if you do not attack and retreat, I will not be able to go back. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are such shrewd people, this can only be done once, and this time it is only with the help of God that they can have the opportunity to let Shenzhi write a letter to you. ”

Ma Yue still wanted to speak, but was held down by Ma Yue, and nodded to Ma Yue, Ma Yue snorted coldly and shouted: "The army will charge with the general!" After saying that, he rode into the camp with his horse. An army of 20,000 followed.

Zhou Cang saw that Ma and Ma Yue had entered the camp, and said secretly: "Fortunately, they all said according to Mr. Jia's words, and there was no mistake." But Mr. Jia is really powerful, and even Ma Yue's words are accurate. Shaking his head, he grabbed Markey. pulled him to the side, and whispered: "This time you have made a great contribution, and the lord has been rewarded." ”

Markey replied, "Is my mother safe?" ”

Zhou Cang replied: "Don't worry, the lord has already arranged a big mansion with her in Chang'an." After this battle, you can go to Chang'an to meet him, and the lord will take care of your future life. ”

Markey let out an "um" and didn't speak again.

Let's say that over there, Ma and Ma Yue led the army into Zhang Xiu's camp, and felt that the fruit was as Zhou Cang said. There was no one in the former army camp, and Ma and Ma Yue were not suspicious. In other words, their original doubts were dispelled by the words of Ma Dai's letters, and the source of doubts was eliminated, and they would never breed again.

When Ma and Ma Yue led the army to rush into the depths of the former army camp, they suddenly heard one after another screams, and Ma and Ma Yue were suddenly puzzled. Ma Yue's war horse ran a few more steps. Suddenly he felt a shock under him, and the war horse screamed, and then fell down, and at the same time, the horse leap on the horse's back also lost its balance.

On the other hand, the same thing happened to the horses. It's just that the horse's equestrian skills are exquisite, and when the war horse screams, he suddenly lifts the reins, and the front legs of the war horse are lifted high, and only the back legs stand on the ground. When the reins were lifted, he exclaimed, "Tripping horses? ”

"Whew

Hundreds of torches were lit in an instant, and the pitch-black camp suddenly burst into flames, as bright as day, Zhang Xiu held a golden gun and sat on top of the dew. A man next to him was guarding him with a mace. It's Hu Che'er.

Zhang Xiu showed no mercy, waved his big hand, and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Woohoo

A rain of arrows poured down on the troops of horses and horses, and in front of them was a row of repulsors. I couldn't see clearly in the darkness before, and I thought it was a cabinet and other things, but now I saw rows of rejected horses with hideous sharp horns under the bright fire, Ma and Ma Yue were not fools, and naturally knew that they had fallen for Zhang Xiu's scheme. However, they are not only shocked by Zhang Xiu's scheme, but also feel sad for Ma Dai to join the enemy, they never imagined that Ma Dai would betray his father and brother. Of course, this is only what Ma and Ma Yue have in mind, but this is not the case.

The rain of arrows poured down, and the horse army was hit by the rain of arrows and turned over on their backs, and a large row of rejecting horses in front could not rush through at all, and there were already many soldiers who crashed into the refusal horses in the darkness and died on the spot with the horses. The horses knew that the horseman's riding skills could not break through the horse rejection formation.

waved the spear in his hand and snorted coldly: "Withdraw!" ”

On the other side, Ma Yue had been rescued by the guards. It's just that his eyes are blank, and when the rain of arrows hits, he only relies on his personal guards to help him resist, and Ma Yue mistakenly thinks that Ma Dai's surrender will hit him hard.

Ma Yima took the lead and led the army to the east, and only Zhang Xiu's army was relatively small. Zhang Xiu naturally wouldn't let them go so easily, and with a wave of his hand, the sound of war drums immediately sounded.

"Knock knock

With the sound of war drums, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan led two troops respectively from the east and west of the camp respectively, and the rain of arrows continued to tilt. The traps on the road are still endless, so that from time to time the horse army has soldiers who are hit by arrows or fall into traps.

Feng Xi and Zhang Nan two troops slaughtered, like two fire dragons around the horse army, Zhang Xiu no longer hesitated, ordered to move away part of the rejection of the horse, to make way for a road, and then led the army to join the war group.

The army of the horse department was ambushed and had long been at a loss, but fortunately, the horse was holding high the banner at this time. Lead the army to clash so that the army will not fall into complete chaos. Zhang Xiu saw it, and without hesitation, he took the lead in killing the horse, and the golden gun was in the air. Guns and shadows struck, and a blow hit the horse.

"When

Ma saw Zhang Xiu coming. Hurriedly raised his spear to greet him, the spear in his hand was made by someone in the city of Jili, and it was also considered to be handy, but it was not as good as the tiger head Zhan golden gun before, so the horse did not have any name. Zhang Xiu's blow was blocked by the horse. didn't care, but smiled and said: "Ma, you can't get away today, look at the gun!" ”

Ma was helpless, in the face of Zhang Xiu, he could only go all out. Under the battle between the two, the powerful arrow of the horse was lost, and the breakthrough of the army was blocked, and the two armies of Feng Xi and Zhang Nan were encircled. The Ma army shrank into a mass, and Zhang Xiu's troops couldn't help pouring down the arrow rain, and the horse army that was shrunk into a ball was more injured by the arrow rain.

Although Ma was at war with Zhang Xiu, he naturally knew the situation of his army and was secretly anxious. At this time. One man joined the warband with a broadsword. A knife blocked Zhang Xiu's shot at the horse, and at the same time shouted: "Meng Qi, lead the army to break through." Shen Zhi can't live with the Ma family, this debt will be repaid by Uncle Wei, go quickly! ”

When the horse heard this, he shouted, "Uncle! At the same time, he shot out and fought a few times with Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun.

Ma Yue swung his knife with all his strength to attack Zhang Xiu, forcing Zhang Xiu to return to the defense parry, Ma Yue saw the opportunity and kicked heavily on Ma Zhanma's buttocks, and the beggar galloped away with the horse on his back in pain.

Zhang Xiu snorted angrily, and attacked Ma Yue a few times, and in an instant, Ma Yue's knife technique was disordered.
