Ma Chao stared at the man in front of him for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Haha! A certain family...believes...you!"
As Ma Chao opened his mouth, his numb eyes suddenly burst into boundless light, filled with regret and satisfaction.
He then turned his head sharply, and his already weak body suddenly surged with strength, and shouted at the Qiang people who were about to move.
"Put down your weapons for me. If you lose, go to the shaman and the others to atone for your sins immediately. Now I give you the final order, surrender! Enough blood has been shed by the Shaodang Qiang people, it's time for us to stop."
, the roots of the Shaodang Qiang cannot be broken, let alone in our hands. Surrender! Surrender... Surrender!"
As the last word "jiang" was spoken, the voice of Shaodang Mima became smaller and smaller, and the look in the giant eyes gradually dimmed...
"He is quite a man! I never thought that there are such heroes among the Qiang people."
As the numbness passed away, Ma Jin, who had been staying beside Ma Chao, suddenly spoke.
"Humph, your martial arts skills are good, but you may not be a hero." Ma Chao glanced sideways at Ma Jin and snorted.
"Well!"
Ma Jin lowered his head, knowing that Ma Chao was dissatisfied with his repeated attempts to stop him, and silently stepped aside.
"You guys, do you want to surrender?"
As soon as Ma Jin retreated, Ma Chao turned around and faced the Qiang people who were stunned in the field. His oppressive voice echoed through the sky.
At this time, the Qiang people present seemed to have just gradually recovered from the death of Shaodang Mima, and they all looked at each other.
"Clang!"
After a while, the first Qiang man slowly let go of the weapon in his hand under heavy pressure. As if in a chain reaction, the sound of falling weapons came one after another.
"Ma Jin, go arrange the aftermath and inform father that Beiyuan has been decided."
.......
Night falls.
Even though they fought long distances and fought one after another, the great victories achieved one after another under the leadership of Ma Chao still made the remaining four hundred horsemen so excited that they even forgot about their physical fatigue.
Under Ma Jin's arrangement, each one of them was methodically handling the detention of the surrendered Qiang soldiers. The six or seven hundred Qiang people were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they let the Ma family's elite soldiers, who were far outnumbered by their own troops, just let them go.
Push and lock yourself into cages.
Home hall.
Ma Chao lay lazily on the numb armchair, casually stroking the plush white tiger skin under his body, and listened to Ma Jin's report.
"Major General, in this battle we killed 763 enemies, captured 787 people, and obtained more than a thousand cattle and sheep, more than 600 healthy horses, and the rest of the food, salt, iron, and furs are not included."
"Yeah!" Ma Chao hummed lightly, slowly raising his eyes and continuing to look at Ma Jin.
"One hundred and seventy-two of our troops were killed, 14 were slightly injured, and none were seriously injured."
Seeing Ma Chao's reaction, Ma Jin quickly continued: "Major General, after this battle, Beiyuan is invincible, but there are still about a hundred Qiang guards and two to three thousand old and weak Qiang family members in Beiyuan City, I don't know?
"
"I'm off now. Beiyuan is just minced meat on the chopping board. Let the army rest for a night and I will go for a trip tomorrow. Okay, I'm tired. I'll leave the aftermath in the fort to you. Come on down!
"Ma Chao said and waved his hand lightly.
"promise!"
At the gate of Xiaowu Fort, after Ma Jin arranged for the custody of the Qiang soldiers and the garrison in the fort, he led a group of people and walked slowly towards the gate of the fort.
"General, something is not right. We have not seen a single sentry on the road from the home court to the fort gate."
On the 800-meter winding road, a Ma Jiabing who was walking in front suddenly turned around in confusion, looked at Ma Jin and said.
"Um?"
The expression on Ma Jin's face remained unchanged, and he slowly drew out the sword from his waist.
"Alert! Let's go!"
A group of people quickly put themselves on guard and slowly approached the fort gate.
No one noticed that Ma Jin unknowingly landed at the end of the team, and his eyes kept flashing with brilliance in the darkness.
"Tap tap tap tap!"
The winding road under the night is deep and silent, as if it is a demon devouring everything.
"It's one of our own."
In the alert pace, the distance of 800 meters passed in an instant, and the fireworks at the fort gate in front of me slowly illuminated the night.
Everyone in the team looked vaguely and saw clearly about sixteen or seventeen soldiers dressed in their own clothes in front of them. Only then did the highly tense nerves relax, and they breathed a faint sigh of relief and said to Ma Jin behind them.
"Okay, no need to be on guard. Go over and see who is stationed here. There isn't even a sentry left along the way."
Ma Jin's eyes hidden in the darkness became more and more brilliant, and he spoke calmly.
"yes!"
A Majia soldier came forward after hearing the order.
At the fort gate, Meng Wu and Wang Feng had already made full preparations when Ma Jin left the home court and walked towards the fort gate. In the darkness, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other slightly, and the traces of light slowly overflowed from the depths of their eyes.
smile.
"Hey! General Ma Jin is here. Who is your leader?"
"Whoa!"
An arrow pierced the throat.
With endless doubts in Ma Jiabing's eyes, he fell to the ground. Until his death, he never understood why his own family members shot him with arrows.
"puff!"
But he didn't have to regret it, because the moment he was hit by the arrow, the small group of soldiers behind him felt a pain in his throat at the same time. He faintly heard the sound of a sword slicing through the flesh, and fell into boundless darkness.
Fireworks flicker and light and shadow burn.
At the end of the team, Ma Jin slowly wiped off the blood on the sword in his hand and looked at Meng Wu in front of him.
Meng Wu slowly put away the big bow in his hand, and a smile slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Haha! You brat, I just said I saw it right during the day, but you can do it!"
At this time, Ma Jin no longer had the apologetic smile in front of Ma Chao during the day, nor the cold and coquettish look he had just before using his sword to kill. A smile slowly appeared on his ordinary face, he put away his sword, and faced Meng Wu with all his strength.
Take it.
"Brother!"
"Hahaha! What a good boy, when you grow up, you can do great things. Even my brother, I, kept it a secret." Meng Wu laughed and hugged Meng Jin, and then said with a hint of teasing.
"Uh, brother...hehe...hehe." Meng Jin originally looked excited, but when he heard Meng Wu's teasing, he couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment and kept giggling.
"Okay, Brother Wu, business matters first. When the big things are settled, we can have a good time reminiscing about the past."
Although Wang Feng beside him also looked excited, his temper was still relatively stable and he spoke first.
"Hmm, yes, brother, General Wang. The situation inside is basically clear. The Ma family only has about 400 combatable soldiers left. Someone has arranged a team of elite riders to guard the approximately 67 soldiers in the cage in the back field.
There are about a hundred Qiang prisoners, and the remaining Jingqi are also arranged to patrol in various places to deal with the aftermath. At this time, Ma Chao has less than 300 available soldiers who can be summoned immediately."
Meng Jin heard Wang Feng's words and responded quickly, telling the two people about the situation inside with a serious look on his face.
"good!"
After Meng Wu and Wang Feng heard Meng Jin's report, he was immediately excited.
In the entire Beiyuan War, it can be said that not a single battle has been fought yet, but the entire Beiyuan is like a naked lamb, just waiting for them to conquer.
"General Meng, I wonder if your Majesty has any other arrangements?" After applauding, Wang Feng quickly continued to ask.
"No, a certain family, under the order of the emperor, tried every means to sneak into the Ma family's army more than half a year ago, and they have been making progress step by step. Then they inexplicably served as the leading general of the Ma family when they came to Beiyuan, and then step by step they got to where they are now. Among them
Except for the occasional scattered orders from your Majesty, there is no trace of contact. The most recent order is to ask a certain auxiliary Ma Chao to capture Xiaowu and try to cause maximum casualties to both sides."
When Meng Jin said this, he suddenly looked at the two of them in surprise and said: "Brother, don't you have the order from the emperor? Then why are you here? I thought you came with the order from the emperor.
They even tried their best to come and cooperate.”
"hehe!"
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other for a moment, and all showed a wry smile.
