Chapter 286

Floating in the mountains.

Yan Xing and Ma Xiu were stationed here.

Each of them led eight thousand elite soldiers to ambush in futu mountain. There are many bushes in the mountains. All the soldiers in ambush can only squat down. Although it is inconvenient to hide in the bushes, they can only bend down to hide in order to ambush.

The place where Ma Xiu and Yan Xing were located was an open place on the mountain.

They waited with their backs against the tree.

Matthew was silent.

Although Matthew is one year younger than Ma Chao, he is more calm.

Sitting not far away, Yan Xing thought of what Han Sui had said to him and said, "Ma Xiu, I once had a fight with Ma Chao. That guy is very good at martial arts. I'm afraid Ma Chao is the most powerful of the three brothers. "

When Matthew heard this, a sharp color passed in his eyes.

Immediately, it was hidden again.

Ma Xiu said faintly: "brother, you are the best in the army. You can beat Xiliang all the time. That's a well-known thing. Even if it's you, Yan Xing, don't you have to bow down in front of your elder brother. "

Yan Xing saw that Ma Xiu's answer was relaxed, but he carefully observed his words and found that Ma Xiu unconsciously clenched his fist. He secretly said that Han Sui was old and spicy, and he saw the flaws of the Ma family at a glance.

The Ma family is very strong.

Whether it's Ma Teng, or Ma Chao, or Ma Xiu, it's not simple.

Ma Jiajun is also very elite.

It's hard to deal with.

But Ma Teng preferred Ma Xiu and suppressed Ma Chao. The contradiction between the eldest son and the legitimate son was the biggest flaw of the Ma family.

Yan Xing said faintly: "in terms of martial arts, you and I are not as good as Ma Chao. But when it comes to March and array, when it comes to intelligence and strategy, you are much better than ma. The problem is that the Qiang people don't like to use strategy. They like the strong people who go straight

"Ma Chao's martial arts are excellent, and he can beat the Qiang people."

"He can convince the Qiang people."

"On the contrary, you are behind the scenes, in fact, no one knows your name."

Yan Xing shook his head and said, "if I were you, I would not be reconciled. Therefore, this ambush against Zhang Xiu is your chance. Ma Xiu, I'll go all out to help you in this battle with Zhang Xiu. "

Matthew said coldly, "would you be so kind?"

Although Han Sui and Ma Teng are sworn brothers, the Qiang people have no faith. They may become enemies one moment and the next.

Fighting is very common.

Ma Xiu is also wary of Han Sui.

Yan Xing replied: "of course I don't have any good intentions. The reason why I help you deal with Ma Chao is that I don't like Ma Chao. When Ma Chao was 17 or 18 years old, he was disrespectful to my Lord. At that time, I tried to deal with Ma Chao. I almost killed Ma Chao, but I failed. Ma Chao and I never deal with them. If I help you, I'll deal with him, won't I? "

Matthew hummed, and instead of talking, he waited.

When Yan Xing saw this, he began to smile.

Although Matthew didn't show it, it can be seen that Matthew was absolutely moved.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly.

The soldiers came to Yan Xing and Ma Xiu and reported: "general Yan, Zhang Xiu has entered Chencang, less than 15 miles away from futu mountain. The speed of their journey is very slow. It is expected that they will arrive at futu mountain in more than an hour. "

"Explore again!"

Yan Xing gave an order again.

After the sentry left, Yan Xing looked at Ma Xiu and said, "Ma Xiu, Zhang Xiu's army is about to arrive at futu mountain. This time, it's your chance of a lifetime. You pass on the order. Once all Zhang Xiu's troops enter the narrow road of the valley, your soldiers will fight immediately. When you defeat Zhang Xiu's army, I will help you to take Zhang Xiu. You can cut off Zhang Xiu's head and ask for help. "

"Thank you very much."

Matthew said thanks.

When Yan Xing saw that Ma Xiu was going to convey the order, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and then he gave the order.

Matthew is calm, but he is too young after all.

……

At the foot of futu mountain.

Close to the back of the mountain, a very steep and remote place, where there are more than 100 people.

The soldiers led by Ganning are hiding here.

"Rustle!"

General Tu came to the mountain in a hurry, and there was a quick report from ten soldiers

Gan Ning said: "explore again, try your best to get in touch with the Lord, and wait for the Lord's order at any time."

"Here it is

The sentry turned and stepped down.

Knowing that the time was coming and that it was time for action, Gan Ning mobilized his men and let them enter their respective places of action so as to burn the mountain.

Time goes by.

The army led by Zhang Xiu is getting closer and closer to futu mountain.When Zhang Xiu's army arrived at the east entrance at the foot of the mountain, he saw the sentry under the command of Gan Ning, and immediately gave the order of arson. All the troops were stationed at the foot of the mountain and did not enter the narrow road in the mountain.

When the news reached Ganning, he ordered, "let go the arrow!"

"Here it is

The soldiers were ordered at once.

"Whew!"

In an instant, an arrow was launched.

At the moment of the arrow's launch, the sharp sound of breaking through the air came out, and the sound rang through the sky. As soon as the soldiers, who had been waiting for orders not far away, got the news, they ordered arson and fired arrows again.

In a short period of time, all the soldiers assigned by Gan Ning set fire to the whole circle of futu mountain.

Under the ignition of the fire oil and many dry shrubs on the mountain ground, shrubs and weeds burned one after another, like fire snakes, spreading rapidly to the surrounding areas.

The fire is getting more and more urgent.

Zhang Xiu's troops stationed at the foot of the mountain, although they saw a fire burning at the foot of the mountain, did not take immediate action. They were still stationed at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain, the hiding place of Ma Xiu and Yan Xing.

Yan Xing got the news that Zhang Xiu was standing still and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xiu stopped moving forward. Did she see something? However, Yan Xing did not dare to act rashly. Once he tried to scare the snake, he could not ambush Zhang Xiu's army, and all the arrangements on the mountain would be invalid.

There is also a touch of urgency in Matthew's eyes. He is eager to let Zhang Xiu enter the narrow road in the mountains and give him a chance to make contributions.

Suddenly, Yan Xing's ears moved.

"Matthew, at the foot of the mountain, there seems to be the sound of arrows rising into the sky. Listen carefully."

Yan Xing is good at martial arts and has a good ear and eyes. He listened, but heard.

Matthew listened carefully, but shook his head.

In terms of martial arts, he is far behind.

Ma Xiu said: "this may be Zhang Xiu's strategy of disturbing the enemy and trying out. It's intentional. We still can't move easily. If take action, be discovered by Zhang Xiu, so want to ambush him, impossible

"A fart!"

All of a sudden, Yan Xing directly burst foul language.

When Ma Xiu heard Yan Xing's words, he said angrily, "Yan Xing, don't deceive people too much."

Yan Xing said, "look around. There are thick smoke rising at the foot of the mountain. This is fire attack. It must be Zhang Xiu's fire attack strategy. "

"If the fire under the mountain burns or spreads, it is bound to spread to the whole floating mountain."

"It's not big and there's no barrier."

"The fire is burning. We can't avoid it. We can only go down the mountain."

"Zhang Xiu's move is so vicious."

No matter how calm Yan Xing's eyes were, there was also a touch of anxiety in his eyes. He never thought that Zhang Xiu had judged that he was ambushing in futu mountain, and had arranged a fire attack in advance.

Matthew was also flustered.

When he looked around, he saw that fires were burning all around the mountain. Although it's still half way up the mountain and there's no fire yet, the fire will soon spread down the mountain.

Ma Xiu said in a hurry: "Yan Xing, what should I do?"

Yan Xing said: "what else can we do? Withdraw, retreat down the mountain. Now, while the fire hasn't really spread, we go directly to the garrison of Zhang Xiu's army. "

"We have more than 16000 elite soldiers."

"Zhang Xiu's army is only over 20000."

"With all our strength, Zhang Xiu may not be able to win. We have a certain chance to win."

Yan Xing's eyes flashed a light and said: "if I take Zhang Xiu, I can catch the thief and the king. So this battle, we have a chance to win, as long as we beat Zhang Xiu, everything is still no problem

"OK, down the mountain!"

Matthew nodded in agreement.

He knew that Yan Xing was good at martial arts and had the courage of many people, so he agreed with Yan Xing's suggestion.

That's the only way.

"Down the mountain!"

Matthew gave the order directly.

Yan Xing also immediately ordered, with his soldiers down the mountain, ready to attack Zhang Xiu's army.
