Just when Ma Teng was pulling out his hair, and just when Ma Chao roared into Han Sui's camp in the city, Wang Xuan's army finally approached the city gate.
When he heard the sounds of "Gulu" and "Gulu" coming from the city, when Ma Teng finally saw the shadowy figure, when Wang Xuan finally remembered that he should light the torch, Ma Teng... his face was filled with anger!
Wang Xuan arrived, and Ma Teng's heart finally returned to his stomach. Only then did he notice what the thing that made the 'gurgling' sound was.
A large iron car with a roof that is five meters long, three meters wide and three meters high!
When Ma Teng was stunned, he was pushed into the city gate by more than 20 people inside, and immediately, ten thick iron sticks more than one meter long were nailed down.
It wasn't until the big iron cart was completely secured in the city gate that the army rushed in mightily.
Matthew opened his mouth and pulled Ma Teng's sleeve, pointed at the iron cart in the city gate and asked: "What, what is this for?"
Ma Teng was indeed a veteran, and at this moment he also reacted and smiled bitterly at his son, "This is obviously to guard against us!"
"The iron cart is stuffed into the city gate hole, which completely eliminates the possibility of closing the city gate. It is impossible to put down the thousand-jin gate and the like. In other words, even if we really pretend to surrender, we can invite you into the urn for whatever we want.
, that will suit your purpose. After the city gate is completely destroyed, no matter how many tricks you can play, it will only be a matter of time before it falls."
"How wise, cautious, and not letting go of any loopholes. The Imperial Master is really a strange person!" Ma Teng inadvertently glanced at Wang Xuan who was walking over with his peripheral vision, and quickly replaced the words "treacherous" and "suspicious"
.
Matthew looked at his father with some surprise. You didn't evaluate Wang Xuan like this before you were old. Why have you changed your tune now?
"Hahaha, old Ma, don't always praise people behind their backs, that's not good!" Wang Xuan came over with great satisfaction and patted Ma Teng on the shoulder.
"Ah, I have seen the Imperial Master before, but I didn't expect that the Imperial Master came in person!" Ma Teng seemed to have just discovered Wang Xuan, with a look of surprise on his face, and Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others also hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"This is General Pang De and Pang Lingming of Xiliang. He is outstanding in martial arts. The most important thing is that he acts steadily and has the style of a general." Ma Teng did not forget to pull Pang out and introduce him to Wang Xuan.
After the complete surrender of the Ma family, Pound will definitely no longer be able to follow the Ma family. The system established by Wang Xuan is no longer the dual monarchy of the Han Dynasty, but a complete centralized system. Since Pound cannot be retained,
Then sell more now, it will only be good for the Ma family in the future and not bad.
"Pound has met the Imperial Master!" Pang De hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Yes, I know you." Wang Xuan nodded. Pang De, in history, Guan Yu was indeed a fierce man when he carried the coffin. The most important thing was that he was brave.
"This is not a place to talk. Go in. The most important thing today is to kill the enemy troops. Whether they are Li Jue, Guo Si or Han Sui, including their subordinates, kill them all without leaving a single one alive!"
Wang Xuan said it in an understatement, as simple as eating and drinking, but it was like thunder in the ears of the Ma family, his son and Pang De.
At Wang Xuan's level of status, even if it is not a golden word, it is almost enough, so kill them all and leave no one alive. These eight simple words mean that one hundred thousand people will fall to the ground!
Just the blood flowing out can dye the entire city red!
The stacked heads alone can be taller than the city wall!
The gathered corpses alone can stop the flow of the Wei River!
What's more, if we really kill these 100,000 people, don't we need to pay the price?
These 100,000 people are all serious young adults, among whom the Qiang people account for the vast majority. Such a large-scale and merciless massacre will inevitably bring about the rebellion of the Qiang people, and a chain reaction will follow...
Ma Teng was thinking the most, and the fear in his heart was also the greatest. Counting the Qiang people in the entire Xiliang, how many people there were. In this large-scale killing, Xiliang's loss would not be less than 30%!
What kind of concept is this? Ma Teng didn't dare to think deeply about it. Since his Ma family surrendered, he hoped that Liu Bei's army would be better. Wouldn't it be great to absorb these 100,000 troops? Why cause such a massacre!
Thinking of this, he quickly walked two steps to Wang Xuan and whispered his worries in a low voice.
Wang Xuan didn't even look at Ma Teng. After listening to what he said, he said calmly: "Li Jue, Guo Si, and Han Sui have a total military strength of more than 116,000 people, of which Li Guo has more than 43,000 troops.
The rest are all under Han Sui, distributed throughout Xiliang except Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye."
"Among them, the Qiang people account for 73%, a total of 84,600 people. The entire Xiliang has a registered population of 650,000, most of which are Han Chinese. There are about 2.4 million unregistered Qiang people, divided into more than a dozen different ethnic groups, distributed
In addition to Xiliang, it also includes the Qinghai Plateau in the southwest of Xiliang."
Wang Xuan didn't tell a single statistic, but Ma Teng's expression twisted. He had a good relationship. This damn Wang Xuan actually knows the situation in Xiliang better than himself, the overlord of Xiliang... Do you dare to believe this!!
How long have you been secretly investigating me, Xiliang?
Therefore, I am truly wise and powerful, and surrendering is indeed the best choice!
In addition, since Wang Xuan, who knows Xiliang so well, ordered the killing, there must be a reason, so don't worry about it in vain!
Night raids, civil strife, and city destruction.
In the dark night, it was difficult to even distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, let alone an organized counterattack and resistance.
The entire Longguan was in chaos. Fortunately, Wang Xuan was well prepared, and the distinctive all-steel half-armor was also very eye-catching. The targets were all on people without armor.
Long ago, Wang Xuan issued a death order and would not accept any surrender. Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill them all!
On the other side, after Han Sui put on his armor, he heard the soldiers coming to report that it was Ma Chao who had led a surprise attack. In an instant, a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to his head.
Han Sui couldn't understand what Ma Teng was thinking, but the facts were before his eyes. There was no doubt that Ma Teng had surrendered.
Now that Ma Chao is here, Ma Teng must have gone to the city gate to open the door for Wang Xuan. If he waits for Wang Xuan to lead his troops in... the consequences will be disastrous!
Han Sui knew very well how much Wang Xuan would retaliate against him, so at the first moment, Han Sui did not organize how to counterattack, but directly ordered his soldiers, "Quick, follow me back to Jincheng immediately!"
"Lord, where's General Yan Xing?" the soldier asked too much, and then Han Sui remembered.
After a moment's hesitation, Han Sui stamped his feet and got on his horse, "Let me know, see you in Jincheng!"
Han Sui was already thinking about his past kindness. His original idea was to throw Yan Xing behind the palace, so that he could have a 100% chance of running away.
But thinking that life would be better with Yan Xing in charge in the future, I still informed him. As for waiting for Yan Xing... that was absolutely impossible!
