As night fell, the silent Wei River was illuminated red by torches. The corpse on the ground, which looked like flesh and mud, had been covered with cloth. The scout who had fled on horseback in the evening was lying on it with red eyes and trembling all over.
Around the corpse, thousands of black-armored cavalry were waiting silently, firmly occupying every inch of land around the corpse. The leader, Ma Chao, had a face as deep as water, and a cold light emitted from his tiger eyes.
"General! Only the bodies of thirteen brothers were recovered along the way. Except for one brother whose body is still intact, the rest are all mutilated and almost like meat!" Pang De slowly came to Ma Chao and whispered,
His expression was equally solemn, and his deep eyes were filled with soaring murderous intent.
"Okay! Okay, very good!" Ma Chao roared in a low voice, holding tightly the tiger-headed golden gun in his right hand, with his finger bones raised and his five fingers turning white.
Use the head of the old thief Han Pioneer General to pay homage to our dead brothers."
"No!" Pang De, whose eyes were equally sinister, responded, and then asked in a deep voice, "Major General, are we going to report the news of the discovery of Han Sui's vanguard troops to the lord?"
"Well!" Ma Chao's eyes flashed with awe. He suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded. Then he noticed the figure still lying on Komori's body and said, "Let Lao Ding bring someone to report. He knows the situation here best."
!”
"No!" Pound nodded, turned around and left to make arrangements.
Even though he was angry in his heart, the thoughts in Ma Chao's mind at this time were extremely clear. He was very clear about the plan for this war. In fact, every step he took was arranged by Guo Jia before he led the troops, and among them, except
Besides detecting intelligence about Han Sui's army, the most important thing is.
"If you encounter Han Sui's vanguard army, don't hesitate to fight him! Fight him to death!"
…………
Late at night, Jincheng, Zhenxi General Mansion.
Under the flame of the oil lamp, Han Sui's face flickered, with an inexplicable expression.
"Lord." After a burst of footsteps, Cheng Gongying walked in through the door, bringing with him a gust of cool breeze. He bowed his hands to Han Sui and said, "All the Qiang people, Qu Shuai, have already settled down. General Cheng Yin's vanguard army is here."
We have also set out for the Wei River to set up camp in advance to prevent Ying Zige's army from crossing."
"Gongying, in this battle between us and Ying Zige, if we win, we can take advantage of the opportunity to unify Liangzhou, if we lose, everything will come to an end and there will be no burial place. Haha, I didn't expect that I have been in Liangzhou for more than ten years, and now I will be killed.
What can I do if a young boy is forced to this point?
Gongying, I have thought carefully about the rise of Ying Zige in the past few days, and I came up with two words: timing!
This person's grasp of timing is very good. I won't talk about it before, but he will seize the opportunity to capture Longxi and Jicheng when he gathered all the troops in Liangzhou to suppress Dong Zhuo. And as Ma Teng did, he was able to seize the opportunity.
When the news of the defeat came, he dared to decisively go to Tianshui. Then, under my layers of planning, he seized the opportunity again and again and broke through the mirror, until today.
What a terrible future!" After hearing Cheng Gongying's voice, Han Sui nodded and suddenly said with emotion, and stopped after a while.
"Lord!" Cheng Gongying looked at Han Sui who was silent, slightly worried, and shouted quickly.
"Haha, don't be impatient, sir. He is just expressing his feelings. No matter how good the timing is, a war still depends on hard power. Although a man's prestige has been severely damaged and he can only gather an army of 130,000 in a short time, it is already
If it's enough, let Ying Zige come!" Han Sui could hear the worry in Cheng Gong's tone and pretended to be bold. Although he didn't look good because of his sinister image, he still let him
Cheng Gongying was relieved.
"Gong Ying, after I have led my army to go out tomorrow, Jincheng and Longxi will all depend on you. According to the news, Longxi only has 30,000 soldiers and horses to support them to death. I also left you with 30,000 elites, so there is no need.
To attack, just
While guarding your home, prevent Longxi soldiers and horses from coming to support Ying Zige. I believe this is not a difficult task for you." After coming back to his senses, Han Sui stopped laughing and whispered to Cheng Gongying.
road.
"Lord, don't worry, Gongying naturally knows it well!" Cheng Gongying nodded, then looked at Han Sui, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord, although we have the advantage in strength in this war, the lack of generals is our biggest problem.
Especially since the death of General Yan Xing, although there are several generals such as Cheng Yin and Li Zhan, no one has broken through to the realm of Gang Qi externalization.
The opposite of us is Ying Zige's army. Whether it is Ma Chao, Pang De, or Ying Zige himself, they are all first-class generals who are brave enough to win the three armies. Although in the army's expedition, personal bravery is limited a lot, but this
It is our weakness after all, so please, my lord, take precautions to prevent them from using this as a breakthrough point. Whether you are fighting generals or charging into battle, your lord must never forget your own safety."
Han Sui smiled bitterly and shook his head. In fact, Cheng Gongying didn't need to tell him. He himself didn't know this. Especially when he first witnessed Ying Zige's forceful charge in Qinchuan, and then experienced Ma Chao's adversity at the foot of Jincheng.
After defeating Yan Xing and dispersing the army with his peerless power, he understood even more the significance of a first-class general with externalized Gang Qi to the battlefield.
But first-class generals are not so easy to come by. Even though Ying Zige seems to have many people under his command, if we really count them, they are just Meng Tian, Meng Wu, Meng Hu, and the newly defected Ma Chao, Pang De and those few
There are countless people in the twelve zodiac signs of Heibingtai.
But it goes without saying that Meng Tian, Meng Wu and Meng Hu are the descendants of the Qin Dynasty. They have been trained since childhood. Ma Chao and Pang De are also talented major generals and top confidants of the Ma family.
He and Ying Zina were cultivated by the Black Ice Platform that has been passed down for thousands of years and spent their time cultivating.
Although Han Sui has been in Liangzhou for more than ten years and was known as the half-lord of Liangzhou at his peak, compared to Ying Zige, he is still eight points short of foundation. Even his ability and luck are far behind.
Worse than Ying Zige. To have Yan Xing support his appearance was because he used his own daughter to win over him. This alone has made many Liangzhou forces drool with envy, let alone others.
"I know!" Han Sui, who became more and more irritated as he thought about it, simply shook his head and said in a low voice.
Cheng Gongying naturally knew what Han Sui was thinking, so he thought about it and said with relief, "My lord, there is no need to worry. Although the generals with externalized gang energy are strong, as long as they are not peerless generals who refine their marrow and become gods, they will still be incapable of human power."
Within the enemy's range, as long as the lord can avoid direct combat and maintain the army's formation, even with Ma Chao's bravery, it will only take a little more effort.
Han Sui nodded and said, "What Gongying said is true."
