Chapter 301: Longxi Congress Meeting (I)

The spring breeze in Longxi is very soft and it feels very comfortable to blow on your body.

Especially at night, the wind is filled with the fragrance of the soil, which makes people feel refreshed and can forget many worries.

But Ma Teng couldn't fall asleep and sat in a daze in the tent of the central army.

The butter candles as thick as a child's arm run around, making the tent very transparent.

Guo Xian sat in Ma Teng's upper head, and the paper in his hand trembled gently, showing how uneasy he felt at this moment.

On Ma Teng's first seat, seven or eight generals sat upright.

Zhao Ang and Zhao Qu from Tianshui, Jiang Yin from Niyang, Kong Xin, Wang Ling, and Ma Teng's old subordinate Li Junyin Feng.

Almost half of the generals of Ma Teng's army sat in this big tent.

However, Ma Teng's two sons, Ma Tiemaxiu, were not here, and Jia He also did not appear.

Queyin was lost, and the gateway of Hexi opened. Ma Teng had to send Jia He to Li Zu to ensure the last county town of Wuwei. Ma Tiema Xiu, although he wanted to come to Lintao to participate in the war, Ma Teng was unwilling to come over. The Ma family was not prosperous at all. For the sake of this damn Liangzhou, the eldest son Ma Chao died in battle, and his brother Ma Kui died in battle, and his son Ma Dai was missing.

Ma Teng really couldn't bear it. What should he do if his two sons were surprised?

The tent was very quiet, and only heavy breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Ma Teng said: "Young Jian, what should we do now...?"

Young Jian is the name of Guo Xian. Guo Xian, who is over thirty years old, is a talented person with a bookish spirit between his eyebrows and eyes.

But don't be deceived by his appearance.

Guo Xian was born in Xiping, which was a very bitter, cold and barren place in Liangzhou. Moreover, the Qiang, Han and Di ethnic groups were mixed and it was very uneasy.

Being able to survive in the West and enjoy a reputation, Guo Xian is not as weak as his appearance.

On the contrary, he was decisive in his heart, even more violent than Ma Teng.

When Guo Xian heard Ma Teng asks, the corner of his mouth curled up, and a cold light appeared in his beautiful eyes.

"The Xiabian was attacked, and Wududao was lost... The Ganlang Qiang was attacked and retreated into Hanzhong. The situation was indeed not very good."

Ma Teng nodded, "I really didn't expect that the Dong family had such courage and took risks alone and put themselves to death... A small Lintao, with only a few thousand people, actually blocked my 60,000 to 70,000 people under the city. You Jian, now the remnants of the Dong family are rekindled and attacked my Hanyang food road one after another. People are panic and the morale of the army is unstable. What should we do?"

In his words, he expressed a meaning: Otherwise, let’s withdraw our troops.

None of the people in the military tent were fools. How could they not hear what Ma Teng said? Zhao Ang and others couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, Lintao is just a small place, with 60,000 to 70,000 people attacking each other in turn, but in the past month, they can't do anything to the other party.

The friendly troops in Jincheng were blocked under Soxi City. It is said that the grain road from Heguan to Soxi City was attacked many times.

I'm afraid the situation on Zhang Miao's side will not be much better.

Otherwise, as Ma Teng said: Take it away first.

Guo Xian smiled coldly, "I admit that the Dong family is very powerful and is alone in danger, just to transfer me out of Wudu. However, if we withdraw now, I am afraid that there will be no place for us to stay in the world in the future."

Ma Teng was stunned, "Why did Youjian say this?"

Guo Xian sighed, "Our Liangzhou has been a frontier in ancient times, and has been a bitter and cold place. Since the pre-Qin period, the people have been fierce and fierce in fighting. Later, Shang Yang's reforms reduced their private struggles, but the blood in his bones has not decreased at all. If we retreat, we are afraid that the people under the rule will look down on us even more... Although the earlier Thunder God's saying caused panic, it is not without room for salvation. But if we retreat without fighting, our prestige and face will be gone."

Ma Teng's face changed. Although he was unhappy, he had to admit that what Guo Xian said was somewhat reasonable.

Guo Xian said: "Actually, what's wrong with Wushu? The robbery of the grain road sounds like a big deal. But now there are still food stored in our army, which can be used for ten days for 60,000 troops. We consume a lot of food. Did the Dong family consume less food? If it were a year ago, I might have been a little worried, but now... don't forget that we moved the food stored in Lintao completely. The Dong family is probably more troublesome than us now."

Ma Teng and others were constantly excited when they heard this.

Yes, we are short of food, so is Lintao not short of food?

Seeing that everyone's spirits were getting better, the cold light in his eyes also became softer.

"If you kill the Dong family, no matter how many people in the Dong family are, they will be just a mob. Once the Dong family dies, let alone the capital of Longxi, the entire Liangzhou will be stabilized immediately. Including the four counties of Hexi, it is not difficult for the lord to get it... Of course, the key to all this is whether we can kill the Dong family in Lintao City."

Ma Teng's eyes suddenly shone.

It really corresponds to the old saying: People die for money, and birds die for food.

Guo Xian said something about Ma Teng's heart. As long as he kills the Dong family, Liangzhou will be at his fingertips.

It sounds really tempting.

Ma Teng was born in Wuwei, but was beaten so hard that he couldn't even keep his hometown, and he felt uncomfortable at first.

Yes, killing the Dong family can not only control Liangzhou, but also regain Wuwei... I am afraid that the entire Hexi can control it.

Ma Teng decided to do so, fisted up, and said sternly: "I have decided that I must break through Lintao within three days. I retreated in the battle and could be killed on the spot... I will supervise the battle myself tomorrow. All the generals should bravely move forward. Those who kill the Dong family will be rewarded with 10,000 gold."

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Ma Teng's words made the morale that had been sluggish in the past suddenly excited.

*******

The wind is gentle and the sun is bright.

The shouts of killing over Lintao have never stopped since the early morning.

Dong Qi ran over the city, holding a big shield in one hand and a golden gourd in the other, shouting constantly, his voice a little hoarse.

The large shield weighs eighty kilograms, and it is as if nothing is left in Dong Qi's hands.

He raised his arm and smashed an enemy general who had just climbed up the city. He lifted the golden gourd in his hand and sang it and heard the enemy general scream. The sharp barbs tear the enemy general's armor apart and opened a blood hole as big as a fist in his stomach.

The intestines flowed out along the wound and they couldn't survive as soon as they saw it.

Dong Qi provoked the enemy to throw it down the city, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers climbing up the city along the ladder were then smashed to the ground.

Does Ma Teng want to fight to the death?

Dong Qi couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past two days, Ma Tengjun has been attacking day and night, and has acted desperately.

Why do you have to work so hard? He isn’t afraid of fighting all his troops here?

While thinking, a loud bang shocked Dong Qi.

Before he could react, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "It's broken, it's broken...Stop them!"

The sensation made a chill, and Dong Qi roared angrily, breaking the bones and tendons of the dozen enemy troops blocking him. Looking at the sound, he saw that at the corner of the city wall, a four-meter-high city wall collapsed halfway, and a huge gap appeared.

The enemy troops rushed towards the gap like a tide, constantly trying to rush into Lintao City from the gap.

"Gan Ben, I'll give you a hundred people to block that damn gap!"

Dong Qi gave the order, and saw Gan Ben, who was waving the crescent halberd and green-strength spear, roaring towards the gap. This guy was indeed like a tiger, with his spear flying over and no one could resist.

"It's a hero, follow me!"

A group of iron-armored troops rushed forward with Gan Ben, guarding the gap, and blocking the enemy outside.

As soon as Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he heard another loud noise from afar...

Where did it collapse?

The Lintao City was originally very solid. However, after Niu Fu's death, the Lintao City was broken, causing many damages. Later, the Lintao Order was too lazy to spend money and grain to clean up, so he let him go. After Dong Qi occupied Lintao, although he did a simple repair, many places were still not very solid. It was not easy to last until now.

A small school rushed to the top of the city from the horse road.

His body was covered with blood, and his face was covered with blood. It was hard to tell which ones were the enemy's blood and those were his own blood.

The only thing that can be identified is the cowhide-studded studded sleeve armor on his body and the horizontal knife in his palm.

That is a typical Dong family army equipment.

The school turned over and got off the horse and crawled in front of Dong Qi.

"Reported to Mr. Dong, the southern wall of Lintao collapsed, but General Hua has already repelled the enemy and is trying to block the gap. General Hua said, please don't worry, as long as he has a breath, he will definitely not let half of the enemy enter the southern city."

Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief and kicked an enemy general off the city tower.

"May I have your name?"

"The humble reputation is favored..."

"Very good, Xiang Chong, go back immediately and tell General Hua that Lintao is in danger and I want to live and die with Lintao. But I am just guarding, I am afraid I cannot defend it... I will leave the city and fight to the death with the bandits. I am not in the city, and he will take over the big and small matters of Lintao."

Xiang Chongwenting was stunned and looked up at Dong Qi.

However, after saying that, Dong Qi turned around and called Yan Wen, handed the golden gourd to Yan Wen, and asked him to take charge of defending the city.

Then a personal soldier led the war horse. Dong Qi held a large shield in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other. The hammer in the right hand was destroyed, but the hammer in the left hand was still there.

Dong Qi turned over and rode on the lion-maned beast, and rushed to the top of the city from the horse path.

Under the city wall, there were a hundred iron armored soldiers ready to go.

Dong Qi grinned, "A man is a hero who is a real man who is a horse and a corpse. He only regrets that Dong failed to die at the hands of a foreigner, but he wants to suffer with me... Today, I want to kill the traitors, who dares to go to war with me?"

"We swear to follow our lord to the death!"

On the top of the city, Yan Wen kowtowed three times and shouted sternly: "The lord is not dead yet, why should we cherish this body!"

"Kill the traitors, kill the traitors!"

As a shout echoed throughout the sky, the Lintao City Gate slowly opened.

Dong Qi urged the horse to rush out of the city, laughing under the city, saying, "I want to kill the traitors, see who dares to block my way!"
