Cao Thief

Chapter 547 The Battle of Liangzhou (Seventeen)

Night covered the sky over Taoshui.

Didao's night was gloomy, making one feel extremely depressing.On the top of the city, it was pitch black, and there were only figures shaking, like ghosts.Below the city gate tower, a row of bloody human heads hung above, swaying in the wind.

There was a thick smell of blood in the air.

Headless corpses were thrown outside the city, giving people a hairy feeling.

In the distance, the Xiliang army camp was brightly lit.

Cao Peng was in the dark, holding on to the crenel with his hands, his face was gloomy and cold.

He stood there quietly, the chill radiating from his body was even more uncomfortable than the northwest wind.Dressed in white, hunting in the wind.Not only Cao Peng dressed in hemp and filial piety, but all the Cao soldiers in the city were dressed like this.

"My lord, the incense case is ready."

Pang Ming, wearing filial piety clothes, walked up to Cao Peng.

Cao Peng nodded, and then glanced at the Xiliang army camp in the distance, with deep hatred in his eyes.

He turned around and walked into the hall of the city gate tower, only to see that the hall had been arranged as a mourning hall.The white cloth cover swayed in the wind, exuding a sense of grief.On the incense table in the center, there is Wang Meng's spiritual tablet.

After Wang Mengzhan died, his body disappeared with the fire.

Cao Peng couldn't find her body either, so he had to replace it with a spiritual tablet.

He went up, took the incense from Pang Ming's mobile phone, knelt down before the coffin, and said in an almost suppressed voice: "Father, nephew, I have recovered some interest for you today. But the horse thief will not die, nephew." I will never withdraw troops... May my father bless my nephew, so that I can avenge my father by slaying the leader of the horse thief under Didao City.

The second nephew begged his father to bless Hutou to be safe and sound.

When the war is over, my nephew will personally go to find Brother Hutou's whereabouts... My nephew swears to you that if Brother Hutou is in danger, my nephew will sacrifice the lives of 10 people from the two Qiang people, the white horse and the wolf, and pay homage to you And Brother Hutou are in the spirit of heaven. "

Behind Cao Peng, Pang Ming waited quietly.

Outside the hall, white camel soldiers lined up.

Cao Peng's voice floated from the dark mourning hall, and spread throughout Didao City in the blink of an eye.

That cold oath made one's hair stand on end.Pang Ming could even smell the bloody aura permeating the sky above Huangzhong.

"Swear to kill Ma Teng!"

"Swear to kill Ma Teng!"

"Swear to kill Ma Teng..."

I don't know who shouted it first, it spread like a plague in an instant.

Above Di Daocheng's head, Cao Jun's hoarse shouts, vowing to kill Ma Teng... spread far away.

"Palm the lamp!"

Following Cao Peng's order, the head of Didao city was suddenly brightly lit.

"Swear to kill Ma Teng!"

The shouts came and went, making the Xiliang soldiers in the Xiliang camp in the distance tremble with fear!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++
In the Xiliang camp, the clouds were gloomy.

Many Xiliang soldiers hid in the lee, trembling.There is no way, there are not enough camp tents... This sounds a little abrupt, how could it be possible that the army tents are not even ready for marching and fighting?But in fact, this is exactly the situation.

Since I returned in a hurry from Angu, I didn't prepare too much luggage.

Think about it too, after arriving at Didao, Didao can be responsible for arranging the camp, so why bother to carry so much luggage and waste time.But no one expected that Didao would fall!Without Didao, the [-] army could only light a fire to keep warm in the howling wind.Many people are close together, warming each other, comforting each other...

"It's okay, my lord has already sent someone to Angu, and tomorrow at the latest, the luggage will be delivered."

"What you said was shit."

A Xiliang soldier couldn't help cursing: "There are so many of us, how can Angu prepare all the military tents? Even if they are sent over tomorrow, they will first let those officials stay. There are thousands of military tents, and there is not a few days. How can it be put together?"

The surrounding people suddenly fell silent.

Looking at the bonfire in front of them, the sound of crackling echoed in their ears, and everyone was at a loss.

In the distance, many people gathered outside the large tent of the Chinese army.

But seeing everyone coming in and out of the tent, everyone's face was solemn.

A doctor came out of the tent with a tired look on his face.The Xiliang generals hurriedly surrounded him and asked nervously, "Sir, how is my master?"

The doctor smiled wryly, "This archer is so vicious.

Each arrow is equipped with a barb... Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the general may not be able to withstand the injury.

Fortunately, the arrow has been taken out, but the general has not yet awakened, and I am afraid it will take some time to raise him. "

"That……"

"Don't worry, there will be no fear of life."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he saw a small school running out in a panic.

"Sir, there is something wrong... please go and see quickly, sir."

"what happened?"

"My lord kept on swinging, and there seemed to be pus coming out of the wound, like, like a poisoned arrow."

The doctor heard this and was taken aback, "Impossible!"

He had carefully inspected the arrowheads, and had determined that no poison had been applied to them.But after hearing Xiaoxiao's words, the doctor became a little nervous.He hastily turned around and hurried into the large tent of the Chinese army.Only the Xiliang generals were left behind, each with a tense expression.

In the big tent, a brazier was lit.

More than a dozen severed arrows were thrown on the ground, with blood dripping on them.

Ma Teng was lying on the couch, unconscious.

The doctor stepped forward, "Hold the lamp!"

The schoolboys were holding torches, and he bent down to carefully remove the cloth strips from Ma Teng's body.On Ma Teng's shoulders, arms, and thighs, more than a dozen arrow holes were shocking.I don't know what's going on, but at this moment, there is pus coming out from the wound, mixed with a foul smell.The doctor hurriedly asked someone to fetch water and carefully wiped the wound.After a while, he frowned, straightened his waist, looked at the little schoolboy and said, "It's indeed pus..."

"what?"

"However, there is no poisoning."

"Then how could..."

"This, I'm sorry if I'm not good at learning, I can't see the clue.

Logically speaking, although the general's arrow wounds are severe, pus should not appear so quickly... The problem may still be caused by those arrows. "

As he spoke, he bent down, twisted up an arrow cluster with a piece of cloth, and observed carefully under the firelight.

The arrowheads are very common wolf tongue arrowheads, commonplace.However, there seemed to be something dark yellow on the arrowhead.At first, the doctor thought it was rust.But looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not as simple as rust... Putting the arrowhead under his nose, the doctor moved his nose a few times, and his brows could not help but frown...

"what happened?"

"It smells great."

"What smell?"

"You smell it."

The doctor gave the arrowhead to Xiao Xiao, who took it carefully and sniffed it.

"It stinks!"

"In my opinion, the general's problem lies in this.

But it's definitely not a poisonous arrow, and I don't know what method the archer used.Looking at the general's situation, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to recover.In my opinion, it is best to find a good doctor, and then give him a good diagnosis and treatment... I will prescribe a prescription to prevent the general from having a cold or fever.But if we can’t find the root cause as soon as possible, I’m afraid it’s…”

The doctor didn't say any more, but the meaning was clear.

"Then trouble sir."

The doctor is down!
Ma Teng was still lying on the couch, unconscious.

Outside the military tent, the Xiliang generals were whispering among each other.

"My lord's injury, I'm afraid it will be difficult to retake Didao back."

"Yes!"

"Then... what should we do?"

No matter what kind of person Ma Teng is, he still enjoys a very high reputation in the Xiliang Army.Perhaps, only Ma Chao can be compared with him.It's just that Ma Chao is not in the army now, and Ma Teng is in a coma, and there is no one to call the shots.

There is a saying that will be the courage of the army.

The existence of the chief general of the first army has a far-reaching impact.

When the main general is absent, the army becomes a mess.Especially those generals, also began to think carefully.

"What should we do if my lord..."

"Nonsense, the lord has experienced hundreds of battles, and he has been a soldier all his life. What can a mere arrow wound do to him?"

"Of course I know that the arrow wound has nothing to do with the lord, but there are accidents in everything... What should we do in case?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Yeah, what should we do?

The midwinter wind is extremely cold.Especially at night, the northwest wind blowing from the upper reaches of Taoshui is more like a knife, digging into the bones.Time passed by little by little, and suddenly, a long sigh came from the military tent.

"My lord is awake?"

"But the lord is awake!"

After a while, I saw a small school come out and said softly: "My lord has woken up, please go in, all generals."

Hearing this, the generals felt their fear and uneasiness seemed to stabilize a lot.

They filed in and walked into the Chinese army tent.I saw Ma Teng half leaning on the couch, the flames danced, and his face was pale and pale, without a trace of blood, like a dead person.Seeing him like this, the generals felt cold again.

"Gentlemen, sit down."

Ma Teng spoke weakly.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then coughed a few times, and said, "Although Bandit Cao has taken Di Dao today, it seems that he has the upper hand. However, in my opinion, they may not be able to hold on...Meng Qi is still in Luanniao. Containing the main force of Cao's army, Didao's Cao army must not have many troops. After dawn tomorrow, our army will attack and attack Didao...as long as Didao is captured, the morale of the army will naturally stabilize. At that time, we can stabilize our position."

"My lord, that's very true."

"However, in this way, it may be difficult for us to regain Jincheng.

I am going to let Meng Qi lead his troops back. When he arrives, he will be in charge of military affairs, and I will go to Wudu to recuperate. "

All the generals couldn't help nodding their heads in praise after hearing this.

If Ma Chao came to preside over military affairs, that would be the best choice.

However, it may be even more difficult to regain Wuwei County... Fortunately, there are still two counties, Longxi and Wudu, and the land of seventeen counties is much better than in Wuwei County.Moreover, defending Longxi Wudu and relying on Hanzhong can gain Zhang Lu's support.After recuperating for a period of time, the morale of the soldiers and horses recovers, and they can naturally fight back to Wuwei.

"I will wait for my lord's orders."

"That being the case, I will ask you gentlemen to take Didao back after dawn."

"The final general is willing to die..."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the camp.

Faint waves of sound came from the top of Didao City, and the sound became louder, louder, and clearer.

"whats the matter?"

Ma Teng frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"It's Di Dao Cao Jun who is calling."

"What are they shouting?"

"They are shouting..." The little principal hesitated.

Ma Teng said angrily: "Say!"

"They are shouting, vow to kill Ma Teng!"

Ma Teng was stunned, a red light appeared on his pale face.Hearing Cao Jun's yelling and cursing, he couldn't help being furious, and roared, "The little thief bullied me too much. Tomorrow, I will take Di Dao..."

After finishing speaking, I only felt the blood floating in my heart.

There was a buzzing sound in Ma Teng's head, sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he fell into a coma again...
