Chapter 296: Not that simple (3)

From Maiji Mountain to Shehu Valley, there is a secret path around Sanguan, which Bai Yi calls the Shuanglin Path.

Four hundred years ago, there were thousands of people from Gan, Bai and Wang tribes, entering Nanshan from what Bai Yi said.

In Dong Qi's impression, there seems to be no such way.

Perhaps it is because of the changes of hundreds of years that the path has long been destroyed, at least Dong Qi has never heard of this path.

According to Bai Yi's plan, if you arrive in Zhangye, you still have to leave Hehuang.

But whether you can pass through Wudu safely depends on how much trouble Dong Qi can borrow this path.

At present, Dong Qi's troops were divided into two groups, one was commanded by Li Ru and Xu Rong, with Guo Yong and Guo Yuan as the auxiliary, Dianman and the four men and Chengli Wang Rong led the trolls to guard the chariots. After the time was ripe, they interspered from Wudu County to Hehuang in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Xiaozuo was sent to Hehuang with Dong Qi's token.

Teng Ziju is very righteous. When he sees Dong Qi's token, he will definitely try to answer. As long as he enters Hehuang, it will be safe. Dong Lu originally wanted to follow Dong Qi, but was rejected by Dong Qi. In Dong Qi's opinion, the old lady and others are more important and need a caring person to take good care of. And this person, Dong Lu is undoubtedly the best candidate.

In this way, Dong Qi and Li Ru divided into two groups in Maijishan.

He led the Beiwei Army Tiger Girl Camp and a thousand iron-armored cavalry to set off from Maiji Mountain. In a month, he successfully crossed the Frost Forest Road, and took the soldiers and horses to enter the territory of Hanyang County without knowing it, and arrived outside Shangji City.

Shangbi is an important place in Hanyang, and a large amount of food and supplies are stored.

Most of the supplies in Hanyang, including Jiequanting, and even the materials and supplies from Wudu, were all sent from Shangqi.

After Dong Qi occupied Shangqi, he did not stay for long.

Instead, he gathered up the supplies from Shangqi, burned all the fire, and led his troops to evacuate quickly.

Shangqi is very close to Long County, where there are heavy troops stationed.

Dong Qi's purpose is to attract Ma Teng and Zhang Miao's attention, rather than to fight with them. So, he once again picked up his mood when he switched to Jincheng and changed the place with one shot. If I don't fight you head-on, it's just that you will feel bad!

Before evacuating Shangqi, Dong Qi collected all the troops from Shangqi, including three or four thousand.

Almost everyone has two or three horses, and they move very quickly. This is also the reason why Dong Qi only brought the Iron Armored Army and the Beiwei Army.

The impact of the trolls is indeed very powerful, so powerful that it is difficult for any team to resist.

But there is a problem, that is, the existence of trolls as heavy cavalrymen has relatively weakened their flexibility.

In the past, trolls had two horses and could take turns to transfer.

But now, due to the increase in soldiers under Dong Qi, horses have become short, making it impossible for the trolls to transfer long distances. In this case, Dong Zhuo's iron armored army is obviously more suitable than the trolls.

Dong Chu didn't have many generals this time.

In addition to Qu Yi's Beiwei Army, he only brought more than a dozen young men from Wunan Mountain, including Hua Xiong and Gan Ben.

Hua Xiong's cavalry fighting method is more proficient than Dong Qi. He commanded a thousand iron armored troops and was able to handle it. Gan Ben and others, as Dong Qi's personal guards, formed the central army with the Tiger Girls' Battalion. Don't underestimate the Tiger Girls' Battalion, her role is to make Ma Teng have an illusion. Just imagine, how can Dong Qi carry hundreds of female relatives to act flexibly? This is enough to make Ma Teng and Zhang Miao have an illusion: this is all the Dong family members, and they can be easily wiped out.

*******

It was already evening, and Dong Qi pulled his horse and put his hand on a pergola to look into the distance.

I saw smoke rising in front of me, and it was obviously a market town.

"Wen Kai, where is the front?"

Hua Xiong immediately urged him to move forward, "We were evacuating Shangji at the hour of Mao and heading southwest. This place is about two hundred miles away from Shangji. According to the markings on the map, this place should be Rongqiu, and further forward is the Western Han River, entering Wudu."

Dong Qi smiled, "Since you are here, you should say hello to Guo Xian. It is not a good habit to not be in the middle of the door."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to the person behind him: "Tonight, we will repair it in Rongqiu!"

Hua Xiong and others burst into laughter without any fear.

What’s there to be afraid of if a mere Ma Teng? My lord can even kill in and out of thousands of troops, let alone Rongqiu?

Dong Qi pulled his horse, and the lion-maned beast raised his hooves and neighed.

In an instant, thousands of horses neighed together. Dong Qi ordered Qu Yi to be the leader of the army, and then led the five hundred iron armored troops. Hua Xiong was on the left and Gan Ben was on the right, and rushed towards the place where the smoke was curling.

It is obvious that the news of Shangqi's loss has not reached here yet.

Rongqiu is a small county town, or to be precise, it should be a small market town.

Relying on the convenience of the Western Han River, Rongqiu became a trading town in Hanyang and Wudu, and the guards were not strictly guarded.

Just after You hour, the gate of Rongqiu was still wide open.

More than a dozen soldiers were at the city gate, hudding their necks, holding their hands, holding weapons, and talking lazily.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the sound of thousands of horses neighing even more. The guards looked out in surprise, but saw a team of iron cavalry rushing towards them like lightning. The armor and costumes seemed familiar.

An older soldier suddenly turned pale.

"It is the Iron Armored Army of the Taishi, the Iron Armored Army of the Taishi... the enemy attacks, the enemy attacks... quickly close the city gate!"

He called out the Grand Master, but also shouted at the enemy's attack. The soldiers were unable to react for a while. The iron-armored army had already rushed to a hundred steps away. The cavalry immediately bent his bow and arrows. A group of sharp arrows flew out with sharp roars, nailing the soldiers to death one by one in front of the city gate. Dong Qi took the lead and rushed towards the city gate. Seeing the city gate begin to close, there was a roar from his mouth, and the golden hammer-beating and Hualing chains slid down, and the hammer head of more than a hundred kilograms fell to the ground, making a bang.

Dragging the sledgehammer, he slid across the ground, plowing out a deep ditch.

Dong Qi's eyes wide open, his face showed ferociousness, and he swung his one arm hard, and the hammer flew up and rushed towards the city gate.

There was only a loud bang, and the half-closed city gate was bombarded by a sledgehammer and wood chips flew everywhere.

Rongqiu's city gate is not as heavy and thick as Luoyang's iron gate, and even the city gate of Jincheng is not as good as Luoyang.

Dong Qiong hit the hammer and the city gate collapsed.

Dozens of soldiers behind who were about to close the city gate were smashed into blood and screamed in tears.

After the sledgehammer was removed, Dong Qi had already arrived at the city gate, rushed towards the two men's uncles, suddenly grew up, picked the golden gourd, and smashed it hard on the men's head. The two men's uncles smashed their brains into pieces, and the lion-maned beast had already entered Rongqiu City.

"I am Dong Xiping. Anyone who walks out of the house is a traitor who is against the master and rebel, and he will not be killed!"

Dong Qiong snatched the gate of the city and shouted loudly. The soldiers behind him shouted in unison and rushed into Rongqiu County...

A battle lasted only one stick of incense.

The whole Rongqiu was soaked in blood, and the blood flowed into a river.

The defender, Dong Qi, was not left, and they were all killed on the spot. Rong Qiu Ling Zhao Ang was killed by Gan Ben, and none of them survived.

Dong Qi walked around Rongqiu, looking at the dead bodies everywhere on the long street, with a cold look.

When did I become so cold? Dong Qi was not feeling well, because he could see that among the dead bodies, there were many people, just ordinary people. Regardless of whether they were rebels or not, they had turned into dead bodies now.

Dong Qi comforted himself in his heart: I have already said that as long as the person who walks out of the house is my enemy. These people have bad luck, but I can't blame me for being ruthless. If I want to blame, I can only blame them for being bad luck.

A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind: Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer...

Thinking of this, Dong Qi couldn't help but sigh.

*******

Shangqiu was captured, Rongqiu was captured...

After receiving the news of Rongqiu being attacked, the soldiers and horses of Xi County immediately sent troops to rescue him, but were ambushed by Qu Yi and led 700 soldiers from Beiwei on the bank of the Western Han River. The magistrate of Xi County Yao Qiong was killed on the spot. None of the three thousand soldiers and horses of Xi County survived and were left on the bank of the Western Han River.

Ma Teng's face turned gloomy and immediately rushed outside the city.

At this time, Shangji was completely out of the previous scene, and the ground was charred, which shows how terrible the fire was at that time.

Ma Teng is eight feet tall and has a huge body.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, there was a hint of Qiang's bloodline, and the face and nose were scattered, showing an arc like an eagle hook.

His eyes were filled with a cold and vicious look and asked sternly: "Where is the remnants of the Dong family now?"

Behind Ma Teng, the two 14-5-year-old boys were speechless. The palms of the big gun were trembling gently.

I can't tell whether it's scared or excited, the boy's expression is very cold.

Hearing Ma Teng’s shouting, Jia He urged him to answer: “According to the horse’s return, the remnants of the Dong family have already crossed the Western Han River.”

"He went to the Western Han River? That was he entering Wudu?"

“That’s right!”

"Immediately send a command to Guo Xian to encircle and suppress the Dong family in Wudu. It is necessary to kill the Dong family in Wudu and not to survive."

"Here!"

Jia He turned his horse's head and was about to leave.

Since Ma Chao died, he obviously felt that Ma Teng's attitude towards him changed.

In fact, I also understood it very much. After all, as Ma Chao's strategist, he could not save Ma Chao's life. Ma Teng is of course dissatisfied with him. If it were someone else, Jia He might have left. But he was Ma Chao's teacher, and in his heart he often felt guilty... If it weren't for his obsession at the time, why would Ma Chao have to participate in the chaos in Luoyang?

Gritting his teeth, Jia He secretly made up his mind: he would not give up until he killed Dong Qi or Li Guo.

At this moment, a young man behind Ma Teng suddenly caught up with Jia He and immediately grabbed Jia He's sleeve.

"Sir, don't be surprised. My father is just sad about the death of my elder brother, so..."

This young man is Ma Teng's second son, named Ma Tie.

Like Ma Chao, he has obtained the true mastery of the Ma family's gun. Although he is not old, he is quite heroic in Wuwei.

Compared with Ma Chao, Ma Tie is less heroic, but more calm.
