Since the decisive battle is going to take place in Cangsong, Zhang Liao must also launch an attack as soon as possible.
"I sent a telegram to General Wenyuan. He divided the Dang Kou troops into three groups and marched straight to Rile, pointing his sword at Fanhe. He himself sent troops to Langlang Ridge, ready to ambush the retreating Qiang troops at any time.
Lord, I have to say that there is something in this Wenyuan piece."
When he heard Yuan Shu asking Zhang Liao, the corners of Xun You's mouth could not help but curl up.
Originally, he thought that Zhang Liao would be eager to express himself when he joined, and would definitely want to do something big, such as setting up an ambush to directly annihilate all the strongman troops on the only way for the Qiang people to return.
But Zhang Liao chose a safer method, destroying half of them first, and then attacking the other half. The word "steady" is well deserved.
"Haha, Zhang Liao has never been a reckless person, and his bravery is second to none. I believe he will bring us more surprises in the future."
Hearing Xun You's praise, Yuan Shu was also very helpful. After all, Zhang Liao made him the commander-in-chief of the enemy army against all opinions.
If Zhang Liao fights well and is a thousand-mile horse, he will be very honorable as a bole. If Zhang Liao is a reckless fool, then he is not a good bole.
"Well, he should launch it within five days, and the news should reach Cangsong within three days of launching it. So, should we wait for a while, or should we fight Ma Teng first?"
Zhang Liao has already confirmed that there will definitely be a disturbance within five days, so it all depends on Yuan Shu whether he will hold his troops back or start fighting directly.
"Let's fight. Don't let Ma Teng take it too easy now. Only by showing off his sword now can we let their coalition forces know our strength. Then the collapse will be faster."
Yuan Shu brought so many soldiers and horses here is not just playing house. If he is not going to fight now, he might as well recuperate in Jincheng. Since he is here, he has to flex his muscles so that the land of Liangzhou knows who their future master is.
Even the powerful Qiang people will kneel and tremble at their feet, and all this will depend on Cangsong's battle. What Yuan Shu wants is not just Ma Teng, but the entire Liangzhou.
"Understood."
Since Yuan Shu wants to show his sword, let Ma Teng secretly reveal the true strength of the Jizhou Army. In Bingzhou, Xun You defeated them with just a piece of paper. Now he must teach Ma Teng a good lesson with his upright elite soldiers.
"General, Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses."
Ma Teng's side relied on Cangsong City. It was unknown how many soldiers and horses Yuan Shu had, but Yuan Shu's army was actually there. The camp was divided into five parts, like a four-petal plum blossom, guarding Yuan Shu's camp in the middle.
"Approximately how many people are there?"
When he heard that Yuan Shu was coming, Ma Teng directly asked the scouts about the news they had discovered.
"Judging from the camp, there are at least more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and cavalry accounts for at least half of them."
The scout swallowed and told the data he had guessed. Although this data was a fantasy to him, it was undeniable that he was there.
"hiss."
Although they had thought that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses might be much stronger than theirs as early as the beginning of the war, when the scout actually said this number, everyone still involuntarily took a breath of air.
The same goes for Ma Teng, but he has made preparations and gathered all the strength he can muster. If this still doesn't work, there is no need for him to hang out in Liangzhou.
"Everyone, don't forget that we still have reinforcements. Li Jue's 50,000-strong army has already set off from Chang'an. I believe it won't be long before they enter Jincheng and threaten Yuan Shu's rear. As long as we don't give in, we will definitely be able to win this battle.
Fight hard, defeat Yuan Shu, and defend Liangzhou."
After hearing Ma Teng's words, everyone who was shocked gradually calmed down. Yes, they are not fighting alone. They also have reinforcements and friends. I believe that as long as Li Jue's troops arrive, even 50,000 people will be able to fight.
It can help you win this battle.
"Defeat Yuan Shu and defend Liangzhou."
"Defeat Yuan Shu and defend Liangzhou."
"Defeat Yuan Shu and defend Liangzhou."
Not only were the Ma-Teng coalition not intimidated by Yuan Shu's troops, but they showed high fighting spirit. After all, they also had their own beliefs and things they wanted to protect, so they must defeat Yuan Shu.
At dawn the next day, Yuan Shu's army, except for the 30,000 militiamen who stayed behind at the camp, came out in full force. More than 200,000 troops rushed towards Cangsong City like a surging wave.
And Ma Teng was not idle after receiving the news. In addition to the 20,000 troops left to guard Cangsong City, the 120,000 troops lined up outside the city. The army's momentum was like mountains and seas, and it was extremely fierce.
"Ma Teng is quite brave. Instead of defending the city, he dares to go out to fight?
Go and meet him."
Seeing Ma Teng dare to go out of the city to fight, Yuan Shu also nodded in praise. If nothing else, this courage is still worthy of praise.
Yuan Shu took the lead, followed closely by Dian Wei, while Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Wen Chou and other generals also followed.
"Where is Ma Shoucheng? Come out and have a chat."
Yuan Shu rode his horse to the front of the two armies. Although he did not roar loudly, with the breath of his chest, the sound did ring in the ears of everyone in front of him.
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Ma Teng did not hesitate and rode forward without hesitation. As the saying goes, if you lose the enemy, you will not lose the formation. Although his current strength is not as good as Yuan Shu's, if someone calls him in front of the formation, he will not dare to appear. It will have a negative impact on morale.
The blow was huge.
Ma Teng moved forward, and Ma Chao followed him directly, while Liang Xing, Ma Wan and others on their side looked at each other and rode their horses to follow.
"Yuan Gongli, why did you call me?"
Ma vacated the formation, glanced at Yuan Shu, and spoke to him calmly.
"Nothing else, I just want to ask if you are willing to surrender to me."
Yuan Shu looked at Ma Teng, with a hint of domineering flash in his eyes. In his opinion, Ma Teng's family was still very useful, and it would definitely be a good thing if they could be included.
"Yuan Gongli, do you think it's possible for me to surrender in this situation now?
You underestimate me, Ma Shoucheng."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Ma Teng's anger couldn't help but emerge. In front of the two armies, you really want me to surrender. Isn't this just putting your face on the ground and rubbing it hard?
"Haha, it's not that I underestimate you, I really value your talents. If you are willing to come over, I will never treat you badly, and your son will also have a better future. Maybe the Ma family in Xiliang can achieve the same goal as our ancestors
The glory of General Fubo."
Facing the somewhat angry Ma Teng and Yuan Shu, he shook his head. It's just talk. What do you mean by being anxious? Besides, he didn't say anything. Now it seems that surrendering to himself is indeed the best choice.
"Hey, Yuan Shu, please don't be ashamed of your words. Our Ma family has been loyal and loyal for generations. How can I be compared to you, a rebellious minister and traitor? Let me take a shot first."
