() "I don't know how the second brother is doing now, and whether he has encountered any danger." Ma Chao said to his father in front of him after taking a bite of the hard dry food in his hand.Compared with Ma Yue who was lying drunk on the couch, Ma Chao, who was covered in dust, looked much more embarrassed at this time, but he still cared about his brother's safety in his heart.

Ma Teng also frowned, and sighed heavily after hearing his son's words.But he still comforted Ma Chao: "Don't worry, auspicious people have their own celestial features, and Xiaokang will definitely be fine! He was able to survive even being shot by horse thieves in the past, so of course nothing will happen this time... And now he has changed You must be much smarter than before and know how to protect yourself."

Even though he said so, Ma Teng was still complaining about his previous decision.When the Qiang people's night raids appeared, how could he be so focused on leading troops to retreat from the enemy instead of protecting his son's safety?If he could bring his son with him at that time, he would surely have less self-blame and concern at this time.

At this time, Ma Teng and the others were on a hillside less than five miles away from the station last night, and they could still see the camp that was taken away by the Qiang people from a distance.Now, the place has been taken by the Qiang people, and many of the weapons and equipment, food and other supplies accompanying the army have also become the property of the Qiang people, which made Ma Teng very distressed.

After the chaos yesterday, Ma Teng led his soldiers to stop it.However, the Qiang people's offensive is already in full swing, and the officers and soldiers under his command have lost their morale long ago, so they can only fight and walk to avoid the enemy's sharp edge.In the end, if Ma Chao hadn't been so good at martial arts, and led a hundred cavalry to block the enemy alone, maybe they would have become the souls of the Qiang people by now.

However, this battle was not harmless. During the battle and retreat, Ma Teng's troops rescued many officers and soldiers who were divided and surrounded by the Qiang people. So up to now, the number of Ma Teng's men has not decreased, On the contrary, there were hundreds more, thousands of people stayed here with him.

Now, the most urgent task for Ma Teng to consider is how to take the next step.Did he bring his troops back to Long County, or did he go to nearby Lintao to wait for a comeback?If it was the former, he was worried that the court would punish him in the end. After all, he led the army to escape.But if he went to Lintao, he didn't dare to take the risk, who knows if it has already fallen into the enemy's hands - he didn't know that Lintao was guarded by Dong Zhuo's people at this time.Moreover, even if Lintao is still in the hands of the imperial court, can he really defend it with his own thousand troops?

Such entanglement made Ma Teng hesitant, so he had to hide on the hillside with dense forest for the time being, and act in the dark after he made a decision.It was already daytime, and the officers and soldiers were scattered by the Qiang people. If his remnants went out, they might be gathered and wiped out by the enemy, so Ma Teng had to wait for dark.

At this time, Ma Chao mentioned Ma Yue, which made Ma Teng feel even more turbulent.He originally temporarily forgot about the second son because of his own situation, but now that it was mentioned, he would not mention the remorse in his heart, and he could only sigh repeatedly.

"Father, why don't I lead a group of people to find my second brother." Ma Chao suddenly suggested again.

Ma Teng was very pleased that the two brothers were so friendly, but he shook his head immediately: "No way! If you go like this, you will send a sheep to the tiger's mouth. I will never agree to this. Don't miss your brother by then, Even you got in."

"But...but we can't just wait like this, it makes people anxious!" Ma Chao walked up and down there restlessly, his eyes looking at the enemy camp several miles away from time to time, just wanting to be able to immediately Rush in to find out.

"Everything should be based on the overall situation!" Ma Teng still said irrefutably.Although he was also worried about Ma Yue, he was more aware of his identity. The thousand or so remnant soldiers here are also destined to die, and they must not be put to death just because of one person!In fact, there is another point that Ma Teng does not want to touch in his heart, that is, he still expects to bring back these thousand people to cover his crimes.As for the safety of the second son, it is only up to him now.

"Father, look, what is that?" Suddenly, Ma Chao, who was unwillingly looking at the enemy camp, suddenly pointed forward, not without surprise.

"Huh?" Ma Teng followed his direction, and saw a black line appearing in front of the Qiang camp over there, rolling straight towards the Qiang camp.Although it was difficult for him to see clearly because of the distance, years of experience allowed him to guess that this was an attack on the Qiang people by an official army, and it was a cavalry charge.

"Which...Which route is this army horse?" Ma Teng thought suspiciously.If the imperial court sent another army, it seemed that they would not arrive so soon, but apart from this, could it be a certain army that was defeated last night?Based on the analysis of the scattered and defeated situation last night, it should be impossible for the officers and soldiers to regain their fighting spirit and counterattack so quickly?

"Could it be that there is another army near Lintao County that has not been attacked by the Qiang people?" Thinking of the word Lintao, a name that has been ignored by Ma Teng flashed through his mind: "How can I forget this person?" Oh, Dong Zhongying, it must be him! Niu Fu is his general, the sudden assassination of Geng Bi by this person must have been ordered by Dong Zhuo, what is his intention..."

Once he thought of Dong Zhuo's role in this matter, Ma Teng figured everything out.After all, he has been an official in Xiliang for many years, so he naturally has a deep understanding of Dong Zhuo, a hero among Xiliang people. With his ability and ambition, he will definitely show it in this incident.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Dong Zhongying, who was dismissed from all positions due to the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, would seize this opportunity. It seems that he will not be too far away..."

Just as Ma Teng was lamenting Dong Zhuo's actions, Ma Chao had already got on his horse, took out his gun and shouted loudly: "Listen up, everyone! Now our imperial army has launched a counterattack against the Qiang people, and we should also report Last night's revenge! Anyone who wants to kill the enemy for revenge, kill me down the mountain now, and defeat the enemy with the imperial army!"

"I would like to go!"

"Count me in!" Immediately, many soldiers jumped up from the ground, took up their weapons and followed Ma Chao, and soon half of the soldiers expressed their willingness to go.Many of these soldiers were local Han Chinese in Xiliang, and most of the soldiers killed by the Qiang people last night were their relatives and friends, so they were full of resentment towards the Qiang people, and wished they could kill their enemies for revenge.

Only because they were the only ones left now, and they were defeated again, the crowd didn't clamor for a counterattack.But now it is different. Another group of people launched a counterattack against the Qiang people, which ignited their fighting spirit and made them have the heart to fight again.

"Nonsense, now that the situation is unclear, how can you fight rashly? Isn't this going to put the whole army in danger!" Ma Teng strongly opposed such a risky behavior.

But his words had little effect at this time. Under the leadership of Ma Chao, more than 600 remnants rushed down the mountain with him.Seeing this scene, Ma Teng was stunned. He didn't expect that he was not as charismatic as his fifteen or sixteen-year-old son.

Although there were only about [-] people, Ma Chao and the others were fearless, and rushed towards the Qiang camp like a thousand troops, vowing to return the humiliation and hatred of last night to them.

The horse under Ma Chao's crotch was much faster than the other soldiers, and in a blink of an eye he had already opened a long distance from the crowd, and he quickly saw the situation in the Qiang army over there.

Three thousand Han cavalry rushed towards the camp of the Qiang people like waves, but the Qiang people were completely unprepared, so they broke through the two front lines of defense in one breath, until they reached the place where there were many camps.Under the charge of the Han army, the outermost hundred Qiang people who blocked the enemy's advance had all fallen in a pool of blood.

But at this time, the originally quiet Qiang camp also experienced fluctuations. Countless cavalry appeared from all directions and charged straight at the Han army.The two groups of people fought desperately in the camp.

Ma Chao clenched the barrel of the gun, desperately urging the horse to rush forward, the blood in his body was completely boiling at this moment.He longed for such a happy day. Although he fought with the Qiang people last night, most of them were retreating to cover his father's withdrawal from the siege, so he didn't really fully display his offensive instincts. .But now, he has made up his mind to attack with all his strength!

When Ma Chaokuai rushed to the distance from the Qiang camp, he was attracted by the performance of the first big man in the Han army.I saw this big man like a tiger joining a pack of wolves, wielding a big sword and killing all directions.However, the Qiang people who stood in his way were all killed by his fierce vertical slashing attack, and they were completely invincible.

At this time, some people among the Qiang people also discovered this, and immediately two tall generals charged towards the big man.The two cooperated very tacitly, and actually pinched the opponent from left to right. The steel knives in their hands flashed again and again, and all the attacking routes of the big man were blocked.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao paid attention in his heart, wanting to see how this person would cope.At this moment, the big man roared and urged his horse to charge forward, unexpectedly he went straight to collide with the two of them.This behavior made the two Qiang generals more confident, and they also rushed towards him, obviously wanting to meet each other to get to know their opponents.

But at the moment before the two sides came into contact, the steed under the big man's crotch suddenly neighed, and his four hooves kicked the ground suddenly, and he jumped up high.This was beyond the expectations of the two Qiang people. The knives they hacked were passing under the horse's hooves, and they didn't even touch the opponent's armor.

The big man on the other hand leaned over and swung the knife after a loud shout. The light of the knife flashed, and only two puffs were heard, and the two big heads were separated from the body.And when the steed fell to the ground, the big man stabbed forward again with the saber in his hand, stabbed another Qiang cavalryman who was chasing up to the heart, and lifted him off the horse into the air.

It wasn't until this time that the bodies of the two Qiang generals who had lost their heads slammed to the ground.

Seeing this wonderful scene of killing the enemy, even Ma Chao couldn't help saying hello, and then rushed into the camp of the Qiang people...
