Chapter 290

On a cold night, the moon is like a disk.

Under the bright moonlight, the sound of rumbling footsteps sounded on the official road.

The army led by Ma Teng rushed all the way.

Ma Teng hoped that Han Sui would rescue Ma Xiu, but there was no support from Han Sui or assistance from Ma Chao. In desperation, Ma Teng could only mobilize his four thousand elite riders to rush to futu mountain overnight.

Time is pressing. If all the infantry rush to help, when they arrive, everything will be cold. They can't rush to help at all. They can only be cavalry. But most of Ma Teng's cavalry were mainly in Ma Chao's hands.

Ma Chao doesn't send troops. Ma Teng can mobilize only 4000 people. However, Ma Teng was not stupid. He mobilized cavalry to go first, but also arranged infantry in the back.

Two thousand foot soldiers followed to support marten. Even if Ma Teng is in trouble, there are infantry in the rear.

"Come on, give me a little faster."

Maarten gave a loud order.

Four thousand elite riding on the official road, fast on the road.

It's more than 30 Li from Chencang county to futu mountain. The road is flat, so it's easy to catch up.

After Ma Teng sent out his troops, the soldiers who were lurking on the official road outside the city found out and drove the horse back quickly.

Sentry quickly on the way, first step back to Chen to the location of the ambush. Chen's ambush was in the middle of futu mountain and Chencang county. He had 3000 soldiers under his command, 1000 cavalry of Langya battalion and 2000 infantry.

This is not a weak force.

At the beginning, Chen arrived by a detour.

Only in this way can we avoid the spies of Han Sui and Ma Chao.

The sentry came to Chen Dao and reported: "general, a cavalry came quickly in the direction of Chencang county. Because it was dark, we couldn't find out who led the army. We only knew that the other side had more than 4000 elite riders. In addition, behind the cavalry, there were two thousand foot soldiers, all fighting in the direction of futu mountain

Chen Dao raised his eyebrows and asked, "are there only 6000 people?"

Only six thousand people came to the rescue. Chen Dao felt that something was wrong. It is reasonable to say that when the news of the defeat of Ma Xiu and Yan Xing comes back, Han Sui and Ma Teng should come together to rescue, at least with tens of thousands of people.

Not so few people.

The sentinel, with a determined look, replied, "to the general, there are only 6000 people. We have not found the rest."

"Explore again!"

Chen Dao gave an order.

"Here it is

The sentry's on the move. Get out of here.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Dao couldn't understand the reason. However, for Chen Dao, this does not affect the overall situation. Because after Zhang Xiu's army had passed through the mountain, they had sent him an order that he didn't have to attack for the time being and let the reinforcements go.

Zhang xiulai ambushes the reinforcements, and Chen Zhi is responsible for cutting off the rear road and entering from the rear.

Chen Dao didn't understand. He immediately called for the sentry to fly to futu mountain. He reported the news to Zhang Xiu, who decided. When the sentry arrived at futu mountain, it had already passed Yinshi.

The sentinel passed through the soldiers and soon saw Zhang Xiu. He reported: "general Qi, there is news from Chencang county that 6000 elite soldiers are coming to futu mountain. Among them, 4000 elite riders are in the front and 2000 infantry are in the back. "

Zhang Xiu's first reaction was to ask, "are there only six thousand people?"

"Yes

The sentry nodded.

Zhang Xiu frowned, carefully pondered it over, and a smile rose from the corner of her mouth. He knew Han Sui's character and disposition. Although he was good at military science, he was always cunning and selfish.

When the situation of futushan is reported back, Han Sui must know that Yan Xing is in trouble, or even will be taken down.

If Yan Xing is taken, Han Sui's rescue is useless.

If Yan Xing escapes, he doesn't need to be rescued by Han Sui.

Han Sui probably didn't send troops.

Only Ma Teng, because his son is in trouble, loves his son so much that he can fly to the rescue all night.

After Zhang Xiu knew it, she immediately looked at the sentry and said, "send an order to Chen Dao to ambush the last two thousand infantry. He doesn't need a cavalry

"Here it is

When the sentry got the order, he immediately stepped down.

Zhang Xiu made a deduction for some time. At this time, it is very likely that Ma Teng's cavalry has passed Chen's ambush and is coming to the position of futu mountain.

After all, cavalry is fast.

Zhang Xiu ordered: "come, call Gan Ning."

When the soldiers outside the camp got the order, they gave a reply and quickly conveyed the order. After a short time, Gan Ning came to the big account of the Chinese Army happily. He looked excited and asked, "Lord, is there any news back?"

"Yes

Zhang xiudao said: "as soon as we got the news, Han did not send reinforcements. Only Ma Teng led 6000 elite soldiers to rescue Ma Xiu. Marten's four thousand cavalry are in the front and two thousand infantry are in the back. The cavalry is not far from futu mountain. You immediately mobilize the soldiers to take their positions. "

"Here it is

Gan Ning De Ling, get ready quickly.

Zhang Xiu also asked Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others to stay in the barracks, while he left the barracks on horseback with his armor on top and went to the ambush site set by the army.To deal with marten, we must choose the right place.

Although there is no suitable place near futu mountain, there is no way to deal with cavalry.

Zhang Xiu's army is rapidly preparing.

Time goes by little.

The night deepened.

The moon at night has become a remnant moon, no longer hanging in the sky like a disk. On the official road leading to futu mountain, the ground vibrated, and a rumbling sound came from the distance.

Shouts, one after another.

The horses were neighing all the time.

Coupled with the sound of horses trampling on the ground, the whole scene is magnificent and powerful.

This is the 4000 elite soldiers led by Ma Teng.

He rushed all the way through the night. On the way, his soldiers did not rest for a moment. Thanks to a torch burning all the way to dispel the darkness, but also familiar with this section of the road, in order to quickly go.

"Fast, faster, we'll be at futu mountain soon."

Marten continues to order.

There was a look of expectation in his eyes, expecting his son Matthew to escape. Even if he can't escape, he will lead the remaining soldiers to hide until he comes to the rescue.

This is Marten's idea.

Ma Teng led his troops on the road quickly. The closer he got to futu mountain, the more nervous he was.

After all, Hugh's life is involved.

"General, let's get close to futu mountain. Now it's only seven or eight miles away from futu mountain. Now, do you want to reduce the speed and give the soldiers buffer time

The deputy general who followed Ma Teng made suggestions.

After all, fudushan was taken by Zhang Xiu.

Ma Teng shook his reins and continued on his way. While he was on his way, Ma Teng said in a loud voice: "you don't have to stop. The mountain is bare and scorched. There can be no ambush. The road we went here was smooth and not easy to be ambushed. No matter how much, go directly to the camp where Zhang Xiu is stationed to see what the situation is. "

"Here it is

Deputy general Deling had a little worry on his face.

I'm afraid of what's going on.

Three miles in front of Ma Teng is the foot of the mountain on the west side of futu. The mountain is bare, and the foot of the mountain is flat and open.

At this moment, the soldiers led by Gan Ning are here.

Gan Ning didn't hide in the dark. He led his troops to guard the official road leading to futu mountain.

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, Ganning heard a voice coming from a distance.

When Gan Ning heard this, he was inspired and ordered: "all the troops, line up!"

After him, there were 3000 elite soldiers in the array, which was a square array of spears. In fact, there was no place to ambush cavalry here, so Ganning mobilized soldiers to form a long spear array.

As long as the soldiers can hold on, the cavalry will find their own way to death.

Moreover, it is not just Ganning who fights alone.

There's the rest of the army.

Time is not long, but see the official road in the distance, already red fire flash. A torch crackled in the wind, constantly burning, dispelling the darkness.

Here comes Marten's cavalry.
