Chapter 497 The decisive battle in Liangzhou (seventeen)
Two days later, Hao Zhao arrived in Lintao.
The defense of Xi County was fully taken over by Chen Qun. Although Chen Qun was not good at military affairs, it was not a big problem to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
Besides, Cao Hong was stationed at Dashan Pass, which was enough to deter the Wudu Army.
The soldiers and horses stranded in Hedong, under the urging of Cao Hong, also returned to Guanzhong one after another. Their vanguard soldiers and horses had crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Huayin. In other words, the situation of empty troops in Guanzhong was being greatly improved.
ease.
As Guanzhong soldiers and horses continue to return, Ma Teng's advantage will also disappear...
However, Wang, Gan, Ning and Hao Zhao set up defenses in Lintao and were ready, but they did not wait for Ma Teng's crazy attack.
In November of the ninth year of Jian'an, Feiwo announced his opposition to Ma in Yunwu.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yin, who was stationed in Lingju, withdrew from Lingju and retreated to Yunjie County, announcing the uprising together with Feiwo.
Pan Zhang immediately set off and stationed in Lingju County.
As a result, the gate of Jincheng County was completely opened...
After losing the control of Lingju, Pang Tong immediately mobilized his troops and horses, with Han De as the vanguard, leading 3,000 troops and horses, and launched an attack on Ma Dai. General Cao Jun, who took over Luanniao, conquered the Qiang school.
Lieutenant Deng Fan immediately came out and joined forces with Han De. The total number of soldiers and horses in the two counties exceeded 10,000. Although Ma Dai was brave, he felt unprecedented pressure in the face of Cao Jun's crazy attack, and hurriedly went to
Zhangye Li Yue asked for help.
Li Yue led 6,000 Qiang cavalry in full force.
However, Yan Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, launched the attack in time under Xu Shu's arrangement.
Li Yue was ambushed by Yan Xing on his way to rescue Ma Dai. The two sides fought fiercely, and finally Li Yue was killed by Yan Xing on the battlefield.
Immediately, Xu Shu led his troops and captured Zhangye County.
After Yan Xing killed Li Yue, he immediately rushed to the battlefield and joined Cao's army.
Cao's army, which had gathered three powerful generals including Deng, Fan, Yan, Xing, Han and De, was far more than Ma Dai could resist. Ma Chao went to support me, but there was no news. After holding on for three days, Ma Dai had no choice but to lead his troops to break out, and was defeated with the remaining troops.
Defeated and retreated to Hehuang.
At this point, the Wuwei War was completely victorious.
Immediately, Deng Fan led his troops to break into Jincheng County with Yan as the vanguard, Han De as his deputy general, and Xu Shu and Pang Tong as his military advisor.
Feilong of Luodu Valley was the first to surrender and offered the city of Poqiang.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Qiu in Yuzhong and Cheng Yin in Yunjie surrendered one after another. Cao's army effortlessly occupied most of Jincheng County with almost overwhelming force. On the tenth day of November, Yan Xing's vanguard troops arrived.
By the Huangshui River.
At this time, Ma Teng had already received news that Jincheng was rebelling against Ma.
He was so frightened that he quickly stopped the attack on Zhangxian and Xiangwu, and ordered Cheng, Yi, Liang and Xing to guard Shouyang and Angu counties respectively. Ma Teng personally led an army of 30,000 people and rushed towards Didao in a mighty manner.
He plans to return to Didao first, replenish food and wages, and then send troops to Jincheng County to recapture Yunwu County. By then, he will definitely cut Fewo into pieces with a thousand knives!

The journey from the Zhangxian battlefield back to Didao is not too far.
After Ma Teng rested in Angu, it only took him one day and night to march to Didao City.
However, to Ma Teng's expectation, Didao's city gate was closed tightly, and the city was completely silent, as if there was no one there.
Ma Teng couldn't help but feel strange.
He quickly ordered people to shout at the bottom of the city. After a long time, he looked up and saw a man coming from the top of the building...
"It turns out that the lord is back!"
The man shouted excitedly, making Ma Teng finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Why are the city gates so tightly closed, as if facing a powerful enemy?
Where are the candidates? Why don’t you come to greet them?”
General Didao was a candidate for one of Han Sui's eight generals.
Speaking of which, this candidate is also unlucky. He was instigated by Fei Wo and surrendered to Ma Teng. Among the eight generals, he was the most ruthless and the most ruthless in doing things. He injured Han Sui and killed Han Sui's youngest son, which can be said to be a credit.
maximum.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Teng has no doubts about the candidate.
After doing things to the point where he is a candidate, he actually has no other way out.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Favor rebelled again! Even if the candidate wanted to regret it, he probably had nowhere to go.
"Reporting to my lord, General Hou heard about Fevo's rebellion two days ago and was so angry that he was bedridden.
In the past two days, Cao's army has been scouting Jincheng continuously. The general was afraid of something happening, so he ordered the city to be closed and waited for the return of the lord."
After Ma Teng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't doubt anything.
In fact, Candidate's performance has been so great that it has cut off his escape route. Han Sui's daughter and son-in-law, as well as Cheng Gongying are all working under Cao Peng. Even if Candidate surrenders to Cao Peng, I'm afraid there will be no good.
result……
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"Please wait a moment, General."
Ma Teng ordered his soldiers to camp outside the city. He led his own troops and prepared to enter the city.
No wonder, it is impossible for all of his 30,000 troops to be stationed in the city. Although Didao is the seat of Longxi County, its area is not too large. The reason why Didao was chosen in the first place was to intimidate the Qiang and Di, and its military role would be greater.
Thirty thousand troops set up camp on their own.
After Ma Teng enters the city, he will deliver the supplies, food and wages to the camp.
Ma Teng urged his horse to come to the city. After waiting for a while, he heard the creaking and twisting sound coming from the city gate. The thousand-jin gate slowly rose and the city gate slowly opened. Ma Teng felt more relieved when he saw the city gate open.
, with his personal entourage, he rode towards the city. There were about 800 of Ma Teng's soldiers, who surrounded Ma Teng as he walked towards the city, looking particularly relaxed. No wonder, are you home yet? Didao is his own
Territory, why bother to take precautions?
However, when Ma Teng entered the city gate, he was keenly aware that something seemed not quite right.
From the scroll hole, you can see the long streets in the city, which are empty without a single person. The city seems a bit abnormal! Even if the city is closed, the streets cannot be so deserted. At least there will be shops open and pedestrians walking around. But
The current situation clearly indicates the atmosphere of an impending war... Didao battle? Ma Teng suddenly thought that the candidate did not show up. Although the person just said that the candidate was sick and bedridden, at least someone familiar should come forward.
The man in the city obviously looked unfamiliar. Could it be that... Ma Teng was so excited that he was like a cicada?
"There's an ambush, retreat!"
With a roar, Ma Teng suddenly turned his horse's head and wanted to walk out of the city.
His followers were still a little confused, not quite sure why Ma Teng, Hao Duanduan, suddenly wanted to withdraw from the county. For a moment, the cave was in chaos. The people behind him didn't know what was going on, and they were still walking in; those who had already entered
The people, following Ma Teng's order, turned around and prepared to go out. Suddenly, these people were crowded together, making it difficult to move.
At the same time, there was a sudden bang in the city.
The doors of the empty houses on both sides of the long street suddenly opened wide, and groups of Cao's troops poured out.
The archers came forward and instantly occupied the square under the city gate. As an order came from the top of the city: "Fire arrows!"
Without saying a word, these archers bent their bows and set arrows, and directed a row of arrows at the Xiliang soldiers in the cave.
The Xiliang soldiers in the cave were also in a panic. Attacked by the sudden arrow rain, more than a dozen of them fell in a pool of blood in an instant. These Cao soldiers used Cao Gong's arrows. The three-edged arrows penetrated extremely powerfully.
The force caused huge casualties. Ma Teng was squeezed in the middle, unable to advance or retreat... Seeing more and more casualties among his followers, the situation became more and more critical. He gritted his teeth, roared, pulled out his long knife, and left
Chop right and left, killing everyone to create a path of blood.
As he walked out, Ma Teng shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat!"
The moment his horse rushed out of the winding hole, there was the sound of the winch chain being released behind him. He heard the sound of chains sliding all over his body. He followed closely, and with a bang, the thousand-jin gate suddenly fell, killing more than a dozen people.
The Xiliang soldiers were smashed to pieces... As soon as the Thousand Jin Gate fell, life and death were decided. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the Xiliang soldiers in the city wanted to rush out of the cave. But Cao Gong flew towards them like crazy.
The arrow made them fall to the ground one by one.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ma Teng rushed out of the city gate, shocked.
I heard a sharp shout coming from the tower, followed by the sound of bowstrings, a buzzing sound, and a row of arrows raining down like a rainstorm.
Ma Teng quickly waved his long knife, dialed the eagle feathers, and at the same time urged his horse to run away.
However, the rain of arrows was too fierce and too dense. It gave Ma Teng the feeling as if all the arrows in Didao City were shot towards him. The war horse Xiyu under his crotch let out a sad hiss,
More than a dozen withered arrows sank into the body of the war horse. The war horse fell to the ground with a thud, throwing Ma Teng far away. As soon as Ma Teng hit the ground, an eagle-feather arrow flew over and hit him in the thigh. The arrow
The force is so strong that it penetrates directly...
Ma Teng couldn't help shouting and almost knelt down.
Fortunately, he kept the long knife in his hand and danced wildly, knocking the arrow away.
Just after the first arrow, there will be the second arrow, the third arrow... A cold voice came from the top of the city, "Archer, whoever shoots Ma Teng will be rewarded with a hundred gold... It's the man in golden armor."
man of."
Ma Teng has probably never regretted so much in his life.
Good luck, what kind of golden armor are you wearing?
Before he could raise his head to see clearly who was speaking, a shower of arrows flew towards him. Have you seen a wasp? In Ma Teng's eyes, the shower of arrows was as dense as a wasp that had stabbed its nest.
, making his eyesight go dark.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten eagle-feather arrows hit Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was hit by the huge force of the eagle-feather arrow. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground on his back.
"Rescue General!"
Ma Teng's personal entourage was also shocked when he saw it.
A dozen of his followers rushed over and stopped in front of Ma Teng, holding shields in their hands to cover Ma Teng's eagle feathers. At the same time, the Xiliang army stationed outside the city also reacted. More than a dozen Xiliang soldiers
The general flew out on horseback and ran towards the city.
Ma Teng was hit by more than twenty arrows all over his body.
Fortunately, he was wearing heavy armor and blocked his vital points, so he was not shot into a hedgehog.
But even so, his arms and thighs were dripping with blood. A Xiliang general rushed over, pulled Ma Teng onto the horse, and drove away.
On top of the city, the arrow rain stopped abruptly.
The cold voice sounded again, echoing over Didao City Wall, "Ma Shoucheng, you killed my father, today it is just a part of the interest. The candidate's head is here, and I will give it to you... When we go to battle in the future, I swear to take it.
