() After deciding to save these people, Ma Yue quickly analyzed the situation of the enemy and us.In terms of military strength, these 30 cavalry cannot compare with the 30 Qiang people.Even if we are in the dark and the enemy is in the open, the surprise attack can only have a certain effect and cannot determine the outcome of the battle.So if you want to win, you can only use tactics.

Fortunately, because the Qiang people wanted to drive the people away, they moved slowly, so they gave everyone a chance to calmly arrange.These former horse thieves were good at night fighting and ambushes using terrain. Ma Yue quickly seized this advantage and sent more than ten people to ambush in the dense forest on both sides of the road.

They wounded the enemy with cold arrows first, and then hunted and killed the Qiang people who rushed into the forest with the help of the tripping ropes.Originally, the dense forest was not conducive to fighting on horseback, and with this simple trap and favorable position, it would not be difficult for them to deal with twenty or so Qiang cavalry.

But this is just one part of Ma Yue's strategy.He also understood that even if they encountered an attack, these Qiang people would still keep their main force on the road, but their attention was bound to be attracted by the sneak attacks on both sides.At this time, it is time for Wang Feng and other people who are good at charging to perform.

With the momentum of the horses, coupled with another sneak attack, Wang Feng and others quickly gained the upper hand, and it was not difficult for the few to defeat the crowd.Of course, if the Qiang people quickly gained a firm footing and confronted Wang Feng and the others, the outcome of this battle would be very unpredictable, and they needed the help of these common people.

Ma Yue believed that the hatred for the Qiang people in these people's hearts was extremely deep, as long as they were given a chance, they would definitely not let it go.The facts also proved that his judgment was correct, and what made him even more happy was that the Qiang sent 20 people into the forest after more than 50 people were killed, which greatly weakened their combat effectiveness.

The final result also made Ma Yue very satisfied. The team of more than 30 people insisted on killing more than half of the Baibai Qiang people, and retreated in a hurry.And the people who want to save can also be saved.This was the first time he commanded a battle, thinking that dozens of lives would die under his command, Ma Yue felt a little complicated.

In any case, he is also a person with modern thinking, and he has never killed anyone.Although he did not kill these Qiang people himself, but the attack strategy came from him, and Ma Yue became the real murderer of them.But after seeing the appearance of the rescued people, Ma Yue quickly let go of the uneasiness in his heart. He only reminded himself that everything he did now was correct. Since these Qiang people invaded the Central Plains, they have their own Take the way of death!

After adjusting his mentality, Ma Yue came down from the hill on his horse.At this time, those people who had brutally retaliated against the Qiang just now knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Wang Feng and others who rescued them.Wang Feng and others continued to help the old man, but the other party refused to give up and insisted on kowtow to them.

Seeing Ma Yue arrived, Wang Feng said as if he had found a savior: "Fathers and elders, in fact, we rescued you all at the behest of Mr. Ma. If you really want to thank him, thank him!"

Hearing what he said, everyone turned their heads to look at Ma Yue, and then knelt down again.Ma Yue quickly jumped off his horse, stepped forward to help an old man who looked about sixty years old, and dared not even say: "As a member of the Han family and a member of the government, I should save you."

"You... are not heroes in the mountains, but officers and soldiers?" These people said in disbelief.

"Yes, we are all from the government. Of course, I don't have any official position yet. I'm just the son of Sima Ma Teng of the Liangzhou Army. My name is Ma Yue!" Ma Yue reported himself.He is not a Lei Feng who does good deeds without leaving his name, but just writes them down in his diary.When he made up his mind to save people, he had already considered using this matter to make his name known to the people.

You must know that in the Han Dynasty and the following hundred years, the most important thing for a person was character and evaluation.And if Ma Yue wants to do something in the future, apart from some comments from the officialdom, the opinions of the common people are also very important.Since there is such an opportunity today, why can't he use it?Although the status of these people is low, it may not be possible to spread his reputation, but doing so will only benefit him, so why not do it?

"It turned out to be Mr. Ma. I wait for the grassroots to thank Mr. Ma for saving his life." The common people bowed down again.Ma Yue stepped forward to help everyone again, and then he said apologetically: "It's the incompetence of the officers and soldiers that makes you tired, and your hometown has also suffered an indiscriminate disaster..."

These words also made the hearts of the people feel miserable. At this time, they also understood what was going on, and they still had resentment towards the officers and soldiers in their hearts.But after all, Ma Yue and the others saved everyone, so it's hard for them to blame each other anymore.

"By the way, what plans do you elders have next? I'm afraid your homeland has already..."

"I don't know where to go. The army is in turmoil. If I meet the Qiang people again, I'm afraid it will be a dead end." When he mentioned it, the people felt even more sad. Now they can't even go home. If you go, you can only be a refugee.

Wang Feng also sighed for a while, although they were horse thieves and did a lot of bad things, they did not harass the local people.Seeing the people like this now makes these men feel bad, but unfortunately they are unable to help them.

But Ma Yue had an idea: "Since you are homeless and you will be attacked by Qiang people outside at any time, you can go with us. I will take you to Lintao County and ask the officials there to resettle you first, and wait After defeating the thieves, we will rebuild the village for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!" Everyone bowed down again, and Ma Yue hurried forward to help him again.At this time, an old man in his 50s suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Ma, when you mentioned Lintao County, I remembered something those Qiang people said when they drove us on the road. They also planned to drive us to Lintao County. Yes, it seems that they want to use us to capture the county."

"Lao Lou is right, I heard that too." Soon, several people echoed

Hearing this, Ma Yue frowned.It seems that the appetite of the Qiang people is getting bigger and bigger. After defeating the official army, they still want to attack the city and seize the land.And with the light cavalry of Wanxu, it is obviously not enough to capture the county town guarded by horses without any backup, so they tried to use the people to reduce the morale of the defenders.

"It's such a wicked idea!" Ma Yue gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let their plot succeed!" This made his determination to go to Lintao County even stronger, and he must first give the defenders there I said hello to make them wary.

With the idea set, Ma Yue, Wang Feng and others led the people towards Lintao.After driving for more than an hour, a quaint city wall finally appeared in front of Ma Yue.

Although the scale of the city is not as large as that of Long County, and the height of the city wall is not as high, but looking at the three-foot-high wall, Ma Yue also feels that it is not something ordinary people can capture.If the Qiang people wanted to capture this city, they would have to invest tens of thousands of troops and prepare enough siege equipment to be sure.

When everyone came to the city, they found that the city gate was closed.As they approached, dozens of archers suddenly appeared from the top of the city, and their arrows flashing coldly pointed at the people below.A man in an armor poked out half of his head: "You understand, now my Lintao has closed the four gates, and no one is allowed to approach, and those who are sensible should leave quickly!"

"Master Jun, we are villagers in distress in the nearby Lijiagou. We are here to seek the protection of the magistrate. Please open the city gate and let me in!" An elder said loudly.

But the general above was unmoved: "From Lijiagou? You are not staying in this village, what are you doing in the county? Now that the army is in chaos, they may attack my county at any time. We have the responsibility to defend the city. We dare not Let you in. If what you say is true, but you are spies of the rebel army, we will make a big mistake."

Hearing what he said, Ma Yue felt very unhappy.It's not like the other party can't see the appearance of these people in the city, so how can they be so desperate.But he still suppressed his anger, got off his horse and went forward: "Master, we are indeed the people of the Han family, not those spies of the rebellious army. Look at these people, they are all old and weak, women and children, how could they have any influence on the county? What threat?"

"Who are you? Judging by your appearance, you are no longer an ordinary citizen!" The city guard immediately became vigilant when he saw Ma Yue and dozens of people, and asked loudly.

"I am the counselor who went out with the army, because the army was broken by the Qiang people, and finally fell here. I rescued these people on the way, and then rushed to Lintao. I hope you can let us into the city, I still have important information I have to report it to the county magistrate." Ma Yue explained patiently.

But the other party remained unmoved and resolutely refused to open the city gate.As a result, the people panicked, and many women and children sat down on the ground and cried bitterly, the sound made people feel sad.

The people in the city were immediately annoyed: "Presumptuous, how dare you gather a crowd to make trouble in my city. If you disturb the general, can you bear it? I will give you one last chance. If you refuse to leave, don't blame us for taking you!" Handle it carefully." Following his words, the archers in the city drew their bows and were about to shoot them just waiting for his order.

Seeing such a situation, Ma Yue knew that it was impossible for the other party to open the city gate and let everyone in.Although he was very angry, he had no choice but to take everyone back to Long County.

Just at this time, a majestic voice sounded from the top of the city: "What's going on? Why is there so much noise in the city? Did the Qiang people attack the city?" While speaking, a face full of beards appeared in the gap between the battlements. place.
