Just when no one could react, Ma Chao picked up his spear and swept away, directly driving back everyone who came close to the white horse.
Zhang Lu was escorted back by his servants. Those servants were about to call out to their colleagues and kill Ma Chao on the spot, but Zhang Lu hurriedly raised his hand and stopped his men from doing so.
"I want to see my father with my own eyes! Whether it's life...or death!"
Ma Chao was completely furious. He jumped on the white horse wearing the "Ma Teng" armor. He picked up Ma Tie, who was crying and had almost fainted, and pulled out his saber...
The cold light shines a little, the sword light circulates, this sword...
Ma Chao closed his eyes in pain, and he roared heart-breakingly, startling countless birds in the forest.
Swish——
Ma Chao cut off the horse's reins with a sharp knife, and with a pinch on his crotch, the horse flew out like an arrow from the string.
Ma Teng's men hurriedly dodged, but Ma Chao, carrying Ma Tie, turned into a gust of wind and escaped from the open space in an instant.
"General! Let me go after them!"
"No need..."
The deputy general who had brought Ma Chao and Ma Tie to the clearing in the valley came forward anxiously and immediately asked Han Sui for instructions.
However, Han Sui sneered and shook his head:
"As long as my wise nephew takes away the armor and the sword... it means that our plan has been successful."
"As for whether they can help us now...it won't make any difference...Soon, when the body of my virtuous brother Ma Teng is delivered, my virtuous nephew, who is brave enough to win the three armies, will immediately become our biggest helper in clearing the level...At this moment,
As long as there are no troubles from the Xiliang cavalry, our battle in Guanzhong will be smooth and unimpeded!"
Ma Teng said this not only to his lieutenant, but also to Zhang Lu who was standing beside him.
"Haha... I really didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor could still come up with such a wonderful plan to alienate people in such a harsh environment... General Han... When we enter the court, you and I will have a lot to do, a lot to do! Hahahahaha..."
Zhang Lu looked up to the sky and roared, but he still had no trace of his previous immortal spirit. At this moment, his eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc, and with the help of the servants beside him, he slowly boarded the carriage.
"Hmph... The only regret is that there is still no news from the captain I sent to Wuguan... I have quickly sent another group of troops to intercept my brother Ma Teng from the only way... I also asked the Celestial Master
Don’t worry, no matter if he takes a big road or a small road, he will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp..."
Zhang Lu waved his hand twice outside the window to indicate that he understood. When the servant near the carriage saw this, he quickly led Zhang Lu away from the open space.
The army is still stationed behind the mountain... The next road will be their glorious road to capture Guanzhong, Longyou and Xudu. Because most of the Hanzhong army is infantry, there is no time to delay.
As for Ma Teng...
Ma Teng was looking at the hilltop opposite. Sure enough, after listening carefully, a sound that sounded like Ma Chao's roar came from the other side of the mountain. Along with the chaotic sound of horse hooves, Ma Teng's smile deepened.
"Good nephew... and good brother, please don't blame me. It's the book of the emperor... The Ma family has lived under the shadow of Mazu for generations, and I, Han Sui... am just a Xiliang warlord who suddenly emerged..."
"Guangzong Yaozu... is our long-cherished wish... For this goal... Dear brother, I will take good care of your children, so you can go with peace of mind..."
As if praying for the peace of soul of Ma Teng, who had already passed away by default, Han Sui kept firing, and tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry finally revealed their original prowess——
When they came out of Xiliang, Han Sui's men were no worse than Ma Teng's men.
This is something he has always believed... Therefore, he thinks that his status should not be lower than Ma Teng... This idea has been around for a long time, but it was just a piece of imperial favor that made him unable to suppress it, and finally... it led to
The current situation——
Wind, wind, wind——
Wherever the Xiliang cavalry passed, sand and stones flew away, and everything collapsed——
Wind, wind, wind——
The place where the Five Pecks of Rice Sect walks is so majestic that no one can match it——
Chang'an... Ma Chao and Ma Tie, who were supposed to be the last barrier in Chang'an, were walking in despair between the lowest streams in the Ziwu Valley——
The sound of horse hooves was accompanied by splashing water. Every sound seemed to step on Ma Chao's heart. With every sound, he thought he heard the sound of blood splashing.
The rapid breathing, just like their dead hearts, kept falling until there was no more waves.
Ma Tie held his armor in his arms, and Ma Chao held his saber in his hand.
Under the night, the two teams of cavalry, whose camps were completely different, were running silently towards the same direction - Chang'an.
"Second brother...go pick up my little sister and fourth brother...let's go find father."
"Um…"
A dull 'hmm' was probably the last response Ma Tie could make.
——
Chang’an…
Zhong Yao stood on the city gate tower, looking in the direction of the Ziwu Valley in the southwest.
How he wished that what replaced Ziwu Valley at this moment was a deep mountain stream. In this case, even if he knew that the other party was coming fiercely, he wouldn't have to be so panicked...
"How is the city defense? Are there enough manpower?"
Pang De was loyal to Ma Teng. Since Ma Teng was in the court, Pang De's heart was towards Cao Cao.
Ma Dai was young, and Ma Yunlu was just a woman with some martial arts skills. When it came time for a real bloody battle, Pang De became the only capable warrior in Chang'an City.
"Reporting to the prefect, we don't have enough manpower. The young master has taken away tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The remaining Chang'an garrison are all temporarily gathered county soldiers from surrounding areas... It's okay to resist for a while... I really ask them to face it
A long-term and high-intensity siege will inevitably lead to mistakes..."
Pang De handed over his hand and reported to Zhong Yao truthfully.
Ma Dai on the side, holding a long bow, was listening to the teachings in a humble manner... He didn't like this feeling of intelligent spectators... But... Ma Chao was right, he had never really been on the battlefield, and now he needed to be on the battlefield.
Watch and see how the retainer Pound handled the city defense in such a harsh situation.
Therefore... although Ma Dai seemed humble and timid, he listened very carefully.
Zhong Yao sighed and waved his hand:
"Thank you for your hard work, General Pang... Counting the time, the two major generals of the Ma family should be back soon... If nothing happens -"
Zhong Yao didn't dare to tell the truth because he couldn't guarantee what kind of accident Ma Chao and Ma Tie really encountered... When Chang'an faces a more severe test, he still needs to think about how to deal with such a force...
"I really hope... Longyou's rush to help can be faster..."
The words... were not finished, because Zhong Yao was farsighted and finally saw the pair of soldiers and horses he was looking forward to...
"General Ma Chao is back! So that means!"
Zhong Yao's eyes flashed, as if everything had fallen into place.
But it is a pity that his excitement will not last long...because soon he will see the scene where Ma Chao and Ma Tie park the Xiliang army outside Chang'an City and personally come to take away Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu
