The situation quickly reached a stalemate, but Ma Teng knew that this was by no means a long-term solution. If they could not use the hostage Yang Jin in front of them to break out, their death here today would be in vain.
And not only that, Ma Teng felt that there was a huge involvement behind this matter. Just his identity became extremely sensitive at this moment...
Ma Teng is not stupid. After living for so many years, he sees things very clearly.
He thought to himself that if he died in such a remote place, even if his body did not appear, as long as he died, the impact on the subsequent situation in the north would be absolutely terrifying.
Why?
As long as he dies, the mastermind behind this incident can blame his death on others at will... If it is really Cao Cao who wants to kill him...
"No...how is it possible..."
After only considering this direction for a moment, Ma Teng quickly rejected the idea.
Whether it is Cao Cao, Yi Xiaotian or Xun Yu and others, they have no reason to kill themselves. Even if they are killing donkeys, they have to bring all the donkeys together before killing them. Not to mention, they themselves want to
If you cooperate with this group of people, the interests of both parties will advance and retreat together, and they will be even less likely to kill you.
Not to mention killing himself, Ma Teng still felt extremely ashamed when he thought about it.
"I guess Xun Lingjun is also very anxious now... Sigh... I am really confused about this matter..."
Xun Yu must be very anxious now, because if something happens to him, Han Sui and Zhang Lu...
Han Sui and Zhang Lu…
Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and Ma Teng suddenly realized the true story behind this incident.
"You...are you Han Sui and Zhang Lu's people?"
"No... Chao Zhong... Who is your backer in Chao Zhong!!"
After thinking about it, Ma Teng couldn't figure out why his good brother Han Sui wanted to rebel at this time, but now he has some clarity.
Someone in the DPRK must have incited Han Sui to rebel, and Han Sui chose to attack Chang'an with Zhang Lu.
With such a purpose, you will definitely be attracted and leave.
So as long as he is killed on the road, the mastermind behind the scenes can blame his death on Cao Cao...
And if this matter is successfully framed, the person who will be affected in the end is...
"My son...my son..."
Ma Teng collapsed a little. He realized that this was just a mental departure, and it was very likely that his long-term plan would be completely shattered. If he wanted to clear the name of the Ma family, then he, Ma Teng, must live, and if he died
Got——
If Ma Chao wants to avenge himself, he will definitely fight back.
"It's all over..."
This sentence was squeezed out by Ma Teng through gritted teeth. When hearing what Ma Teng said, Yang Jin suddenly laughed:
"Hahahaha... It seems that General Ma is very smart. You should understand that we can't let you go today... and as long as you die..."
"Chang'an will fall in an instant, and your son Ma Chao will definitely realize the truth of the matter, and then lead his army to avenge you——"
"If you want to blame it, just blame General Ma for being confused for a moment! Hahahaha..."
"Kill them for me! Don't worry about my life. After this is done, my wife, children, and children will be taken care of! For the sake of the big man...for the big man! Kill them!!"
Yang Jin screamed strangely, and when Ma Teng wasn't paying attention, he violently hit the blade in Ma Teng's hand.
Tear--
The neck connecting Yang Jin's head and body was vulnerable to the sharp blade.
Hot blood spurted out from the broken spot on Yang Jin's neck.
Ma Teng was covered in blood and his eyes were split. He could not imagine that Yang Jin, who looked like a humble man, could actually commit suicide on the spot in order to complete a certain plan.
Wow——
Yang Jin's head fell to the ground, and the soldiers who watched this scene burst out in shock and screamed for death.
"Avenge the captain!"
"Kill Ma Teng! Kill them!"
"Kill them! Ahhhhh..."
Time seemed to have stood still. Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers were working hard, vowing to knock Ma Teng off his horse.
Their expressions were different, but they all had murderous intent.
Nearly a hundred crossbowmen also immediately bent their bows and set arrows. It seemed that in the next moment, a dense rain of arrows would kill Ma Teng and others on the spot.
The servants around Ma Teng shouted "General, be careful" one by one.
Some fought hard to open a path of blood for Ma Teng with their bodies, while others stood directly in front of Ma Teng, even if they had to use their bodies to resist the arrows.
As for Ma Teng... At this moment, Ma Teng felt remorse, regret, and anger... but he... couldn't do anything.
"Is it true that God wants to destroy my Ma family?"
He murmured in his mouth, seemed to give up resistance, and slowly closed his eyes.
And in those short few breaths, time suddenly started flowing again.
Because a wind-breaking crossbow sound came from the forest, instantly shattering the stability of this dead situation.
Whoosh whoosh——
The crossbow bolt that flew to the field first directly knocked a large number of soldiers in front of Ma Teng to the ground.
Ma Teng looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, and then he heard a cry that resounded throughout the world:
"General Ma Teng, don't panic! I want Chu to come!"
Lifting the moon in the sky, he rode heavily and flew directly out of the dense forest.
The man who was as burly as a mountain was holding a heavy sword with a hundred kilograms of fire cloud. It was like a flowing fire in the sky. The moment it hit the ground, it actually knocked away several short soldiers beside him.
Xu Chu's eyes widened angrily, and he roared and shocked the whole audience. As soon as the long sword came out, he waved it with one hand. As the horse moved forward, the sword struck the soldiers in full armor and was cut in half by his terrifying power.
Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Xu Chu's appearance directly killed dozens of soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining soldiers rushed towards the weak Ma Teng without fear of death.
They screamed and waved their swords. The few Xiliang veterans in front of them seemed to be unable to withstand such a crazy attack.
Just when they wanted to call Ma Teng to leave and let them protect him from behind.
There was another wave of crossbow bolts, which was like a storm. Ma Teng was dumbfounded. He had never seen such intensive firepower. He even vaguely watched the light and shadow of the crossbow bolts flying in front of his eyes, forming a whole line.
Thick lines.
Amidst the screams, the last hundred or so people fell to the ground instantly.
In less than half a cup of tea, hundreds of soldiers, all fully armored and watching eagerly, were completely eliminated by this incredible firepower.
Xu Chu stood up with his sword drawn and slowly came to Ma Teng. He smiled and raised his hands to everyone in front of him, but it was obvious that Ma Teng and his servants were still in shock.
"General Ma, we are a little late, but it seems that we have caught up with the last chance?"
"Marquis Guannei...how...why is it you..."
Ma Teng naturally knew Xu Chu. Apart from Dian Wei, who else in Cao Cao's formation could have such strength against ten thousand enemies?
But... Ma Teng wanted to know more about who was responsible for the wave of arrows that saved him from the siege of hundreds of soldiers just now...
Soon, a white horse slowly walked out of the forest. The young man on the horse showed his iconic smile, looked at Ma Teng, and said leisurely:
"General Ma is shocked. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Yi misses General Ma very much -"
Yi Xiaotian…
Ma Teng was dumbfounded. Many people knew that Yi Xiaotian had gone to Xiangyang, but he never thought that it would still be Yi Xiaotian who came to save him this time.
