Chapter 336 From the start of the war, who is the oriole (4)(1/2)
Chapter 336: The war begins, who is the oriole (fourth)
The Luanbird Canyon is very long!
Thirty miles from Luanniao Canyon, you can see the city walls of Guzang. This is the only way from Luanniao Mountain to Guzang.
Ma Teng took his youngest son Ma Xiu as the pioneer and led 5,000 troops to pass first.
Ma Xiu is already in a bad state. Perhaps because he inherits the excellent bloodline of the Ma family, he is very handsome and generous.
Make a bright silver spear, the gun and horse are skillful, and the killing method is brave.
Since Ma Chao died, Ma Teng has loved his two sons very much.
However, he also knew the principle of the greenhouse flower, so although he loved it, he was not arrogant. The two brothers, Ma Tiemaxiu, have been considered to have been a battlefield for a long time over the years. On the one hand, they cleared out the horse thieves in Liangzhou, and on the other hand, they resisted Li Guo's attack.
After Ma Teng's pioneering troops in Maxiu had reached the center of the canyon, he urged the troops to move towards the canyon.
It was late summer, and the sun was scorching outside the mountains, but the canyon was particularly cool. Ma Teng set up a canyon with his hands and watched his own people and horses walking in the canyon, and he felt unspeakable pleasure in his heart.
As long as Guzang is taken back, Wuwei will fall into his own hands.
Even if Zhang Meng is famous, what can he do if he is famous in Wuwei? Could it be that he still wants to compete with the nearly 100,000 troops in my hands?
"Uncle, please pay attention to the high cliffs on both sides!"
Ma Dai urged Ma to come to Ma Teng's side and whispered: "This place is steep, be careful of Dong Zhe's ambush!"
Ma Teng laughed out loud, "Congyi is a little cautious... Xu Shu is just an incompetent person, and he doesn't know where Dong Zhe came from. You have seen his skills before, hehe... This is God helping me achieve great things. Besides, look at the cliffs on both sides, there are no weeds and dead trees, how can I ambush us? It would be fine if Xu Shu didn't come. If he comes, I will definitely take his life."
Congyi is the character "Ma Dai".
Hearing Ma Teng’s words, he felt very dissatisfied.
Dong Thief has no other skills, but his ability to recognize people is not bad. Just looking at the people under him, they are not ordinary people.
However, he could not convince Ma Teng.
After all, Xu Shu lost consecutively earlier, which is indeed not worth mentioning.
If you talk about the strategy of seducing the enemy, it would be too dangerous to lure the enemy. You can give up most of the Wuwei? At least Ma Dai dared not do this. If you miss it, you would hand over the entire Wuwei to the enemy, and you are too brave!
"Uncle, otherwise, I will lead a army and put the formation in the rear? If it is okay, it is the best. If there is something, you can take care of it!"
Ma Teng couldn't help feeling unhappy.
Is this doubting my judgment? But Ma Dai is his follower. Although Ma Teng is dissatisfied, it is difficult to show it on his face.
He nodded and agreed, "Since that's the case, follow the words of righteousness!"
Ma Teng gave Ma Dai three thousand troops as the rear army and escorted food and supplies.
He led the army into the canyon and kept urging the troops to speed up. No matter how indifferent Ma Dai's words were, there was still some truth. Although Ma Teng didn't say it, he was still more careful in his heart.
When the central army reached the center of the canyon, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and was about to talk to the generals beside him, when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs on the cliffs on both sides. Then, a rumbling sound came, and huge rocks fell towards the canyon like rain. With the sound of people shouting and horses, most of the entrances to the valley were blocked.
As the huge rocks fell, there were also a bunch of burning dead grass.
Before Ma Teng could react, he could only hear a sneer in his ear, and suddenly there was a blazing flame in the canyon.
There is indeed nothing that burns fire in the Luanbird Canyon.
However, in the Western Regions, there is a specialty called saltpeter, which is mixed with sulfur and grind into powder, which can be used as a ignition-enhancing object. The purple-green smoke suddenly rises in the canyon and is accompanied by a strong pungent breath. More dead wood and grass balls fell on the cliff, like rain. After falling into the flames, it suddenly burned violently.
There is no shortage of saltpeter and sulfur in the Western Regions!
Moreover, the ancients have already gained some understanding of the effect of using saltpeter sulfur separately.
Dong Qi did not know how to make gunpowder, but based on the experience of locals in the Western Regions, he found that after grinding saltpeter and sulfur into powder, adding a powder called soap horns and mixing it can make the flame burn quickly.
Perhaps, this is the earliest prototype of gunpowder.
When this ignition-enhancing powder was studied, Jiamu sprinkled a slight amount of powder in the canyon before this operation. Once it started to burn, he immediately threw in various burning items. In an instant, the entire canyon was surrounded by thick smoke and flames.
Ma Teng pressed the war horse under his crotch to the death and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, don't panic..."
But in this case, how can the soldiers be quieted down? Fortunately, as the rear army, Ma Dai fought to the death to occupy an exit.
He shouted loudly: "Uncle, retreat quickly, retreat!"
Ma Teng didn't care about his face anymore, so he turned his horse's head and ran out of the mountain with his generals.
There was a sound of gongs on both sides of the mountain pass. Immediately afterwards, arrows were like rain, and shot towards Ma Tengjun with a roar.
A group of people broke out from the mountains on both sides.
The leader of the general had a golden helmet and a golden armor, and an elephant-thorned ancient moon knife in his palm. He shouted loudly: "Don't leave, Huang Hansheng will wait for you again!"
Ma Teng's eyes were red, and he looked up and looked closely.
"ah!"
He couldn't help but scream, and he was secretly complaining in his heart. Ma Teng recognized Huang Zhong and thought that he was almost killed by Huang Zhong, how could he not be afraid?
Looking at his side, most of the people under his command were buried in the canyon and the sea of fire, with only one or two thousand people in Ma Dai's hands, plus a dozen generals. However, behind Huang Zhong, thousands of elite soldiers were followed, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides could be seen at a glance.
Ma Dai jumped over the horse with a sword and shouted: "Uncle, retreat quickly and meet with Uncle Guo... I'll stop the thief!"
"Chenyi is careful!"
Ma Teng reminded him and took the people away.
Ma Dai gritted his teeth, slapped his knife and rushed towards Huang Zhong.
The two men were dozens of steps apart. Huang Zhong sneered and dragged his sword to face Ma Dai. Huang Zhong's mount was a Wusun Xiji horse that was one out of thousands, with speed as fast as lightning. Seeing the two horses striking, Huang Zhong suddenly roared, and the elephant-nosed ancient moon knife drew an extremely strange arc, carrying a strong wind, and slashed towards Ma Dai with a whistle.
Ma Dai also saw that Huang Zhong's sword seemed to be in the same place as his weapons.
Naturally, we could also see the traces of the Ma family's sword technique hidden in the sword technique. We were so excited that we seemed to have thought of something. But what is the use of friendship between the two armies in front of the formation? Ma Dai bit his steel teeth and sealed it against Huang Zhong's big sword.
To be honest, Ma Dai's ability is not bad!
But his opponent has been immersed in this sword technique for decades. How could his understanding of Ma's sword be compared with Ma Dai?
Just listen to the clang...
With a loud bang, Huang Zhong's sword has a name called the water cutter!
Retrieved from the sentence Dong Qi said: Draw a knife to cut off the water and flow even more. When the bandits were killed, the sword technique was finally achieved.
The water cutter pays attention to seven-point attack and three-point slew.
The sword technique is very simple, just a chop, but it contains all kinds of exquisite changes, just like a long rainbow that penetrates the sun.
Ma Daifeng used this knife, but his arms were numb and his tiger's mouth burst.
After Huang Zhong's big sword slashed on Ma Dai's weapon, he took advantage of the whirlpooling force and sent it forward.
The moment the two horses kicked incorrectly, Ma Dai could not dodge. With a puff, Huang Zhong cut his shoulders to his thighs. His breastplate was torn apart, blood rushing, and his intestines flowed out of the wound and rested on the horse's back.
Ma Dai shook his horse twice, and his puffy fell under the horse.
Huang Zhong pulled the horse and raised his knife and pointed it, "You Yierlang, don't let Ma Teng run away!
Ma Teng is indeed in a mess now.
When he came out of the encirclement, there were only more than a hundred soldiers left by his side. Most of the other troops could not escape.
He didn't care much about it, Ma Teng ran wildly towed his gun.
On the one hand, I was worried about Ma Dai, but on the other hand, I was worried about Ma Xiu.
However, when the army entered the canyon, Ma Xiu seemed to have rushed out of the canyon. He just hoped that he could escape.
Just as he was thinking, the war horse under his crotch suddenly exclaimed violently.
The front hooves were raised and almost threw Ma Teng off the horse.
Holding the reins of the horse, Ma Teng looked at it carefully. He saw that on the hill directly in front of him, people blocking his way.
The word "Wen" written on the hand-in-law flag is written on it!
The general in charge was cut into a knife under his crotch and a scar on his face, from the root of his ear to the corner of his mouth, looking extremely ferocious.
"Old thief Ma Teng, Wen Pin is waiting for you here for a long time!"
The general immediately smiled and said, "My military advisor wants me to tell you that your companion Guo Xian is now ambushed by my uncle, and I am afraid it will be difficult to survive. If you are smart, just dismount and surrender quickly, otherwise you will not blame me for being ruthless!"
Literature recruitment!
Another unknown pawn!
Ma Teng never dreamed that in order to deal with him, the Grand Governor's Office of Shuxian dispatched three of the most elite troops in the Western Regions.
Since the establishment of the three counties in the Western Regions, the Han'an Army has undergone great changes.
Since Hua Xiong took office as prefect, the Yuan Rong army he had originally handed was returned to Dong Qi.
He Qi also showed his own means and strategies in a series of wars. Therefore, Dong Qi transferred Dian Wei out, with He Qi as the head coach, Jia Xu's other son Jia Fang as the military advisor, and Dian Fu and Dianyou as the deputy generals, in charge of the Quaihuo Army.
Dian Wei served as the head coach of the Yuanrong Army, and Dian Manniu Gang was the deputy general.
In order to kill Ma Teng, a total of 50,000 troops were dispatched this time.
