Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 138
Xun Yu pondered, "Now is not the time to pursue Ma Teng."

Luo Zheng said deeply: "What Wen Ruo said is true, this general also thinks so. Although our army has successfully repelled Ma Teng's army, there are still [-] Xihai Qiang soldiers who have not retreated, and after this battle, we The army has consumed a huge amount of money and food, and is no longer able to go to war. If there is another strong enemy at this time, I am afraid that the general will not even be able to defend Jincheng County."

The generals looked awe-inspiring, they didn't expect the situation to be so dangerous.

Xun Yu said: "The most urgent thing is to repel the Xihai Qiang soldiers as soon as possible, so as to appease the hearts of the people."

Luo Zheng asked: "How much is our army's food and grass?"

Xun Yu said: "There is still half a month's worth of grain. If there is no support from the Qianghu tribe, the remaining grain and grass will not be able to support the autumn harvest at all."

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, and said: "What is the attitude of the Qianghu ministries?"

Xun Yu said: "I have ordered people to go to the Qianghu tribe to borrow food, but there is no news yet."

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Zheng said decisively: "If the [-] Xihai Qiang soldiers are not repelled as soon as possible, these Qiang and Hu tribes may not be able to borrow food from this general so easily. All done."

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise."

Luo Zheng suddenly stood up and said: "All generals, hurry up to gather troops and horses, and send troops tomorrow."

"As ordered."

General Li Meng, Wang Fang, Yang Qiu, Yan Xing and others stood up quickly and responded loudly.

Luo Zheng said again: "Condemn Kuaima to order Zhao Yun, but you don't need to reply to Yunwu, and lead the army to kill and run to Linqiang first."

"Order."

Long ago, the orderly responded loudly, took the arrow order and ran out.

Then Luo Pian turned to Xun Yu, and said warmly: "Although Ma Teng's army has retreated, the situation in Jincheng is still tense, and Wen Ruo needs to take care of the aftermath. If there is something difficult to decide, Wen Ruo doesn't have to worry about it, he can decide it with all his strength. .”

Xun Yu happily cupped his hands and said, "You're not concerned with internal affairs, so don't worry, my lord."

Luo Zheng just nodded, and Xun Yu stayed behind, which really made him very relieved.

Huangshui ancient road, ups and downs difficult.

Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry and was slowly marching eastward.

Suddenly a fast horse came galloping ahead, and was stopped by the front army when he was [-] paces away.

After verifying his identity, the messenger was released.

"General Zhao Yun obeys the order."

The messenger did not dismount, but shouted loudly from the horseback.

Zhao Yun's face became serious, he sat up straight on the horse's back, and said loudly: "What military order does your lord have?"

The messenger shouted loudly: "My lord has an order, commanding General Zhao Yun not to answer to me, but to speed up the army and rush to Linqiang."

Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Where is the arrow order?"

"The arrow order is here!"

The orderly urged the horse to go forward and handed over the arrow order.

Zhao Yun received the arrow order with both hands, and after checking that it was correct, he said loudly: "I have the order."

The messenger didn't say much, so he wanted to beat his horse and leave.

Zhao Yun stopped the messenger and asked, "What happened to Yunwu's battle?"

The messenger said: "Ma Teng's army has been repulsed by the lord, and now it has retreated to Jincheng."

Zhao Yun's expression lifted, and he said: "Okay, you can reply to the lord, so I will lead the army to Linqiang first."

The messenger arched his hands, and then he rode his horse and left.

Knowing that the battle in Linqiang was urgent, Zhao Yun didn't dare to delay, so he immediately ordered the army to turn around and flee to Linqiang.

Jincheng, Ma Teng's military tent.

Pang De hurried into the commander's tent, bowed his hands to Ma Teng and said, "I have seen the lord."

Ma Teng waved his hand and said calmly, "Ling Ming doesn't need to be too polite."

Pound said in a condensed voice: "My lord, the army has run out of food, and the soldiers have caused trouble several times. Although the last general suppressed it, but this is not the way to go! If there is no way to solve the food and grass, the army may be in danger of mutiny."

Ma Teng said irritably: "I don't know why this general, but Luo Zheng's children have fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and all the people in Jincheng and Yuzhong counties have been transferred to other places, not even a grain of grain is left. In such a hurry, where can we go to collect grain? "

Pang De sighed: "There is really no other way but to slaughter the horse."

Ma Teng stared and remained silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, some soldiers in the barracks started arguing again because they didn't have enough to eat.

After Ma Teng heard the news, although he beheaded the soldiers who led the disturbance, he had to adopt Pound's proposal and ordered [-] cavalry to allocate [-] thin war horses to slaughter them in response to the crisis of food and grass. smoothen.

However, eating war horses is, after all, a last resort, not a long-term solution.

Ma Teng didn't dare to delay any longer, he completely gave up his intention of attacking Yunwu, and led the army out of Jincheng to the east the next day, without daring to stay for half a day, he retreated to Didao, drawing a humiliating end to this expedition to Jincheng .

Under the city of Linqiang, blood was flowing, and floating corpses were everywhere.

The golden glow filled the sky, and the setting sun soon fell from the sky.

Seeing that it was getting late, the [-] Qiang soldiers retreated like a tide, and returned to the camp.

At the head of Qiang City, Gao Shun stands tall like a mountain. His majestic spine seems to never bend, and his broad and thick shoulders seem to be able to hold up the sky. After a little bit of nervousness and anxiety, it seems that the sky is falling, and it can be pushed back, giving people infinite confidence.

Because of this, Baqian hastily recruited and selected soldiers to fight the enemy desperately and fearlessly.

The [-] Qiang soldiers retreated, and the soldiers who had been fighting for a whole day were already exhausted, and fell asleep one after another, no matter whether it was flood or fierce water beneath them.It's just that when he looked at the majestic figure, there was an unstoppable admiration in his eyes.

Since the Xihai Qiang soldiers attacked the city, for more than ten days, Gao Shun slept less than any other soldier.

Even so, the soldiers never saw the slightest bit of fatigue in Gao Shun's eyes.

If this is the case for generals, how can the soldiers not respect them, how can they not kill the enemy in blood.

To some extent, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun have the same qualities.

They are also able to control their own desires very well, and their performance is more different than Zhao Yun.

It's fine if you're not close to women, you don't even eat alcohol, and you never seek pleasure.

Such a person is not a peerless hero, but has amazing expertise in a certain aspect.

Zhao Yun is calm and wise, cautious in dealing with things, and superior in force, even Xu Chu is slightly inferior.

Gao Shun, on the other hand, showed excellent military qualities, won the support of the soldiers under his command, and made his first appearance on the battlefield of leading the army to win the battle.

The camp of the Qiang soldiers and the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Damn Han general, really angry with me, angry with me!"

Dian Ling's thunderous roar could be heard from far and near, "For thirteen days, a [-] army attacked a small Linqiang city, but they couldn't take it down. What does the commander want you trash to eat? Who can tell me?" What's going on here, where is the strength of our Qiang warriors, why can't even a small Linqiang city be defeated?"

No one uttered a word, and all the generals in command were silent, not daring to speak out.

Dian Ling continued to vent his anger, and was really pissed off.

An army of 8000 attacked a city with only [-] people, but it failed to capture it for more than ten days.

This dealt a blow to the ambitious Dian Ling, who had nowhere to vent his accumulated evil fire.

Fortunately, these generals under his command have become punching bags.

When Dian Ling's roar stopped for a while, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent.
