The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 429 428 Liangzhou Rebellion (15)

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of arrows were shot rapidly from all directions, and Ma Rui, Maren, Marshaw and others were caught off guard. When a bunch of arrows fell, more than 20 people were shot dead, and only a few people were left back to back. Curled up in the Wuzuo Pavilion.

The Wuzuo Pavilion is just an ordinary pavilion, except for a few simple pillars, there is no shelter, the arrows are constantly coming, Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others can't dodge, they can only crawl on the ground, Randomly grabbed a dead body on the ground and used it as a shield,
They formed a circle, blocking the incoming arrows, and then moved sideways little by little, trying to take the opportunity to escape.

At this moment, a white horse rushed out from the woods. The knight on the horse had a silver helmet and silver armor. He was wearing a white brocade robe, holding a spear in his hand, and a pair of fierce eyes hung on his stern face. The radiant eyes were none other than Ma Chao.

When Ma Rui saw Ma Chao appearing suddenly, his heart was in a mess. He never thought that Ma Chao would appear here.At the same time, it was difficult for Ma Rui to guess that Han Cheng and Ma Chao joined forces.

This result made him stunned. Could it be that Ma Chao and Han Sui reached a consensus somewhere, Han Sui confessed himself, and Ma Chao planned to kill himself?

At this moment, it was too late to imagine, and the sudden appearance of Ma Chao seemed to indicate that their lives were about to end.Ma Chao bravely won the three armies. Even if you look at the entire Liangzhou, no one may be able to resist him. Although Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao are also good at martial arts, compared to Ma Chao, who is young and at the peak of his power That being said, it's still a lot worse.

"Rebel! Take your life!" Ma Chao rode his horse and rushed to Ma Rui's side in a short while. With a loud cry, he immediately swung the cold spear in his hand.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, Ma Shao's chest was pierced by Ma Chao. He yelled, and immediately felt a huge force throwing him out, his body flew into the air involuntarily, and the blood splashed from his body sprinkled It's all over the place.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Shao's body was shot by more than a dozen arrows one after another, all of which were hit at the vital point, and when he fell heavily to the ground, he was already dead.

Seeing this, Ma Rui, Ma Lun and the others were all taken aback, knowing that they could not run away, so they all rushed forward, holding the sabers in their hands, and stabbed towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's long spear is like a flexible giant snake. It shuttles back and forth among Ma Rui, Mu Lun and the others. At that moment, Ma Rui, Ma Lun and others fell to the ground one after another, their bodies twitching continuously, and blood flowed all over the ground.However, Ma Chao's white brocade robe and white horse were not stained with a single drop of blood.

The battle was over, and Han Cheng came out from the woods. He had witnessed the whole process of Ma Chao's battle just now, and he was extremely shocked by Ma Chao's heroic and invincible performance.

Pound, Ma Dai, Han Cheng and others all came out of the woods. There were a total of 100 people, all holding a big bow, and walked towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao rode on the horse and saw that Ma Rui and Ma Lun were not dead, so he raised his spear and stabbed them several times one after another, and Ma Rui and Ma Lun were all dead.

At this time, the crowd had already gathered around, and Ma Chao ordered: "Cut off the heads of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao, and go to Niyang with me!"

The soldiers under his command drew out their swords one after another, and beheaded all the heads of Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao.

Han Cheng walked to Ma Chao's side, coughed softly a few times, and then said, "Brother Ma, I don't know if I should say something..."

Ma Chao noticed that Han Cheng had been paying attention to Ma Dai when he was talking, and guessed that this matter might be related to Ma Dai, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, here are all our own people, don't be too shy!"

Han Chengdao: "Ma Fei, the prefect of the Northland, was killed by Ma Rui and the others!"

This sentence is like a huge stone falling into a calm river. Everyone is still immersed in the joy of killing Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Ma Shao and others, but Ma Fei's death immediately aroused everyone There was a ripple in the heart, but in the hearts of Ma Chao and Ma Dai, it stirred up layers of huge waves, which made their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

"What did you say? My father is dead?" Excited, Ma Dai grabbed the skirt of Han Cheng's chest and asked with a ferocious expression.

Han Cheng pushed Ma Dai away, rearranged his clothes, and said, "Your father was killed by Ma Rui. A few days ago, when your father left Gaoping, he was ambushed by Ma Rui and others." , your father was killed at that time."

"Ma Rui!" Ma Dai's heart was filled with hatred immediately, he turned around and walked towards Ma Rui's body, drew out his sword and stabbed at Ma Rui's body one after another. After a while, Ma Rui's body had turned into a A pile of rotten flesh, bloody.

Ma Chao frowned tightly, and his heart was full of hatred, but he didn't show it.If Han Cheng had told Ma Chao the news earlier, Ma Chao would never have killed Ma Rui and the others so easily. He would use the cruelest criminal law to punish Ma Rui, making Ma Rui's life worse than death.

But now, it was too late, and the power to vent his anger was handed over to Ma Dai. He still had more important things to do, which was to occupy Niyang City as soon as possible.

"You two stay to protect the fourth general, and the rest follow me!" Ma Chao randomly assigned two soldiers to stay and guard Ma Dai, and he left here quickly with Pang De and others.

Ma Dai is Ma Fei's eldest son, but Ma Fei is Ma Teng's younger brother. Therefore, in the big family of Ma Chao, Ma Chao is the eldest son and grandson. Because Dai was younger than the three of them, he ranked fourth, and everyone called him the Fourth General.

When Ma Chao rode a horse and passed by Ma Dai, he saw that Ma Dai was still venting his anger on Ma Rui's body, so he beat his horse and left without saying anything.

Pang De came to Ma Chao's side and asked, "My lord, the fourth general will be fine, right? Do you want me to stay and watch him?"

"No need! The fourth brother vented all the grievances in his heart, that's all. You come with me, there are still important things waiting for us to do!" Ma Chao said.

"Here!"

So, Ma Chao was in front, Pound and Han Cheng followed closely behind Ma Chao, and the 98 soldiers behind them all rode black and bright horses, followed closely behind Ma Chao, Pound, Han Cheng and others, and rode in the twilight. , headed towards Niyang City mightily.

As night fell, the sky and the earth were pitch black. On the walls of Niyang City, torches were lit. Ma Gang, who was in charge of guarding the city, climbed onto the tower of Niyang City wearing a full suit at this time, looking gloomyly into the distance of dark areas.

Ma Gang's eyelids have been twitching since Ma Rui, Ma Lun, Mar Shao and others left, and for some unknown reason, he couldn't calm down, restless, but faintly felt an ominous sign.

After dinner, Ma Gang came out to wander around the city, and unknowingly came to the tower, looking at the darkness, but he was thinking in his heart, is it right for him to rebel with Ma Rui and the others?

Ma Gang is about the same age as Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao, and they are all of the same generation as Ma Teng and Ma Fei. They also share a common great-grandfather with Ma Teng and Ma Fei. His grandfather was three brothers.

Because Ma Teng is the eldest son and grandson, he has always been very prestigious in the Ma clan. That is to say, Ma Teng's great-grandfather is the eldest son, Ma Teng's grandfather is the eldest son, Ma Teng's father is the eldest son, and Ma Teng is still the eldest son. Therefore, Ma Teng's status is a bit more prominent than Ma Rui, Ma Gang and others.

And Ma Rui's grandfather is Ma Teng's second brother, Ma Rui's father is the second in the family, but when it comes to Ma Rui, he is still the second, it can be said that he is the second child in ten thousand years.

However, Ma Rui's elder brother died early, so Ma Rui became the only son in the family.And Ma Lun and Mar Shao are the sons of Ma Rui's uncles, and they are cousins ​​with Ma Rui, so they are naturally closer than Ma Teng and Ma Gang.

Ma Gang's grandfather is the third younger brother of Ma Teng's grandfather, but Ma Gang's father is the eldest son, and Ma Gang is also the eldest son, with two generations in the family.Although Ma Gang is Ma Chao's uncle, he is not much older than Ma Chao, and he is more easy-going and has always been aloof from the world. He is not in the same way as Ma Rui, Mu Lun, and Ma Shao.

Although the blood relationship of Ma Chao's generation seems a little distant, after all, they are all of the same Ma family lineage, but now they are killing each other, which makes Ma Gang feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Ma Gang has his own principles of life.However, Ma Fei's death directly tied him to Ma Rui's boat, and Ma Rui, Ma Lun, and Ma Shao secretly attacked Ma Fei behind his back and killed Ma Fei.After returning to Niyang, Ma Rui and the others used the excuse of conspiracy to kill and arrest Ma Fei's subordinates, and directly took control of Beidi County.

When Ma Rui asked Ma Gang if he wanted to work with him, Ma Gang saw the evil light in Ma Rui's eyes and knew that if he didn't agree, he might end up worse than Ma Fei.Ma Fei only died alone, his family members are all in Gaoping, and Ma Gang's family members are all in Niyang. If he doesn't follow suit, the strength of the three brothers Ma Rui, Ma Lun and Ma Shao is enough to kill his whole family. .

At the juncture of life and death, Ma Gang bowed his head to the three brothers Ma Rui, Ma Lun and Ma Shao, but in his heart, he never wanted to work with Ma Rui and the others, after all he was unwilling to kill each other.

"Ah!" Ma Gang sighed heavily, and there was silence in his ears, except for the sound of the wind, it was the crickets below the city wall.

Ma Gang had been on the tower looking at the darkness for half an hour, and finally felt a little chilly, so he was ready to go back to rest.

But when the horse had just turned around and walked less than two steps, there was a sudden rush of hoofbeats in his ears. The series of hoofbeats from far to near seemed very hasty, and the horse snorted from time to time. the sound of.

Ma Gang stood there, pricked up his ears to listen, and closed his eyes gently. After a moment of silence, Ma Gang opened his eyes immediately, and shouted to the soldiers on the tower: "There are about a hundred riders, not yourself. Everyone, get ready to fight!"
