Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 129
Amidst the thundering drums, [-] infantry lined up in a neat phalanx, holding shields, carrying ladders, and sandbags. Driven by the supervising team, they bit the bullet and launched an overwhelming attack on Yunwu.

At this moment, fear has no meaning anymore.

There is no room for fear on the battlefield, let alone retreat.

If you dare not to fight, the swordsman and axe of the supervising team will never show mercy.

Rather than becoming the ghost of the warlord's sword, it would be better to die on the way to the charge, at least you can still love your wife and children.

On both sides of Ma Teng's army, there are five thousand cavalry on each side, protecting the two wings, and restraining the Luo Zheng cavalry stationed outside the city.

Whether it is cavalry or infantry, almost all of them are composed of blue-colored Qiang people.

When Ma Teng started his family, there were only a few hundred soldiers. Thanks to the unparalleled prestige of the Ma family among the Qiang people, after that, there were continuous Qiang tribes who came to vote, as well as the rebellion of the rest of the Liangzhou warlords. the scale.

The northwest is extremely cold, and the Qiang people have a strong ability to withstand death.

These Qiang soldiers were not afraid of death, braved arrows and stone bombs, and charged desperately towards the city.

Luo Zheng was wearing iron armor and stood proudly on the top of the city under the ring arch of a group of general guards.

Looking at the Ma Teng army soldiers rushing towards him in a black mass, there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

Wu Xi stood beside Luo Zheng, seeing that Ma Teng's pawns had entered within twenty steps, he raised his right arm violently and swung it down.

The two thousand longbows had already been stretched like a moon, and at this moment, the bow strings were suddenly released, and the rain of arrows shot down like rain in an instant, pouring fiercely on the heads of Ma Teng's army who rushed to the city, and the screams stopped. Time soared into the sky, tearing apart the sky.

"Fire the arrow and shoot me hard."

Wu Xi ordered loudly, his face congested with excitement.

The two thousand northern army archers were expressionless, their faces cold like zombies, like robots without emotion, divided into two draws and alternately opened their bows to shoot arrows, pouring a rain of black arrows on Ma Tengjun's head non-stop .

Although the [-] Ma Teng infantry were covered by swords and shields, there were still soldiers who were knocked to the ground by strong arrows.

After finally rushing to the bottom of the city, the people who were thrown from the sky by rolling wood and stones fell on their backs.

After paying a heavy price, Ma Teng's army finally filled up a section of the moat.

At this time, the sound of the battle drums of Ma Teng's rear army changed again, and less than half of the remaining two thousand infantry immediately withdrew.

The second team of [-] infantry quickly pressed forward, stepping on Pao Ze's body, and charged towards the city again.

It was already noon at this time, but the soldiers had no time to rest at all, let alone eat.

The five-thousand-horse pawns set up the ladder to the top of the city, supported the rolling wood and stones, and quickly climbed up. They met the elite soldiers of the Northern Army on the city and fought hard. However, they were quickly driven off before they could gain a firm foothold. The head of the city.

The Northern Army is the most elite central government army of the Han Empire, and it is a truly iron-blooded army.

The [-] elite northern army responsible for defending the city can be said to be the last elite of the Han Empire.

These soldiers are all butchers who crawled out of the dead. Their blood has long been cold. Not only do they have an unimaginable tolerance for death, but they are also merciless in killing people, cold-blooded and efficient.

Under the leadership of the team leader and Du Bo, the calm reaper lives like a lifeless machine.

In the rear of Ma Teng's army, there is a sentry tower.

"This is the last elite officer army of the imperial court under the command of Luo Zheng Xiaoer?"

Ma Teng's face was serious, he looked at the top of the city with serious eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have long heard that the Northern Army is the most elite Chinese military officer in the imperial court. The real Iron-Blooded Master, now it seems, is really well-deserved. There are only [-] people, if it is doubled, this General Yunwu will not have to fight."

Pound said in a condensed voice: "The Northern Army is indeed the best in the world. It seems that if we want to break through Yunwu, our army will have to pay a heavy price!"

Ma Teng said: "Don't worry, Luo Zheng'er won't last long, and our army doesn't have to fight him. When the [-] Qiang soldiers from Dianling kill Yunwu, then Yunwu will be an isolated city. I think Luo Zheng'er can still survive." How long will you be trapped!"

Pang De reminded: "My lord, with Luo Zheng's childlike behavior, he may not sit still and wait for death!"

Ma Teng said solemnly: "Ling Ming reminded me that this matter has to be guarded against."

When the sun was about to set, Ma Teng decisively ordered the troops to withdraw and return to the camp.

In just one day of attacking Husband, the casualties exceeded [-], which is not to say that it is not heavy.

Yun Wu is a hard bone to chew, and he can't chew it at all without breaking his mouth full of teeth.

Fortunately, Ma Teng had no intention of attacking Yunwu by force, and his attack on the city this time was just a tentative fiction.As long as the [-] Qiang soldiers from Dianling kill Yunwu, then the iron wall will be surrounded, and Yunwu will be an isolated city, how can it last for a long time.

Allow me to head to the city.

Luo Zheng looked at the horse receding like a tide, and couldn't help but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he turned his head and asked Cheng Ying, who was in charge of collecting intelligence, "Is there any change in the army?"

Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "There are some Qiang soldiers who are unwilling to fight with Ma Teng's army, but there are no Qiang soldiers making trouble."

Luo Zheng nodded. With a 'hmm' sound, he said, "That's good!"

Xun Yu murmured, "My lord, sticking to Yunwu to the death is not an option!"

Luo Zheng said with confidence: "Wen Ruo rest assured, this general never thought of trapping Yunwu. Our army has more than [-] cavalry, and only [-] elite infantry soldiers from the Northern Army. Defending the city with superior cavalry is tantamount to letting Lu Hanzi Go to embroider and let the women carry sandbags. This general started as a cavalry soldier and is better at cavalry, so how could he make such a low-level mistake.”

Xun Yu said: "Our cavalry is twice as large as Ma Teng's cavalry. My lord should use his strengths to avoid weaknesses and give full play to the powerful maneuverability of the cavalry. Although the five thousand soldiers of the Northern Army are weak, they can still defend Yunwu for ten and a half months. No problem."

Wu Xi also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, but the end of the sect will have his life, and he will not let Ma Teng's rebels go too far."

Luo Zheng said happily: "This general is naturally very relieved of the soldiers of the Northern Army, but how to use the advantages of our cavalry to repel Ma Teng's rebels still needs to be discussed in the long run. Let's go back to the mansion first, and wait for the generals to discuss it before proceeding Scheduled."

"As ordered."

All civil and military officials agreed in unison.

Luo Zheng flicked his cloak and was ready to return home.

At this moment, a small scout suddenly rushed to the top of the city.

"My lord, urgent report from Linqiang!"

The little school quickly rushed to Luo Zheng, before he had time to catch his breath, he cupped his hands.

"Linqiang urgent report?"

Luo Zheng's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak quickly."

The small school shouted: "General Gao Shun ordered the horse to report. When our army arrived in Linqiang, [-] Qiang soldiers had already passed through the valley. General Gao Shun had already led the army to Linqiang. According to the time, the Qiang people The rebels may have already arrived in Qiang."

"The Xihai Qiang soldiers came so fast!"

Luo Zheng's eyes condensed, and his face instantly darkened.

The faces of all the civil and military personnel behind him also changed, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts.
