Chapter 273

Three thousand steeds pursued in front of him, and five thousand soldiers followed after him. But after a while, the enemy seemed to be fleeing, so Ma Teng gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Nahu will see a mountain in front of him. Even if he rushes up first, the thousands of horsemen behind him rush up. More than 4000 horsemen rush up the hill in one breath. Ma Teng can't help laughing at this scene.

"This group of brainless Qiang people, cavalry rushed to the earth mountain, this is not a cocoon of their own?"

As long as Ma Teng sends two thousand crossbow men to guard at the foot of the mountain, it will be a burst of random shooting without saying a word, and the enemy will have to wait for death.

"Three thousand soldiers will guard the foot of the mountain, and the rest will follow someone up the mountain and completely defeat the enemy!" Ma Teng turned to Cheng Gongying and said, "brother Cheng, please lead your army to set up a sentry at the foot of the mountain. Later, someone will drive down the horse on the mountain. You immediately order the strong Bowman to shoot with a strong bow and crossbow."

Cheng Gongying nodded: "elder brother Shoucheng, just go ahead and lead the army to supervise the battle."

Ma Teng laughed and turned around to strike his whip in the air: "follow me, encircle and suppress the enemy's riding!"

Three thousand horsemen and two thousand troopers immediately followed Ma Teng and rushed forward. The two armies began to fight on the earth mountain.

Cheng Gongying, however, did not move. He sat still until Ma Teng drove down the enemy troops. Then he used strong bows and crossbows to shoot and completely annihilated the enemy troops.

At this time, more than ten flags were flying in the distance, the vast smoke and dust billowed, and thousands of horsemen came from afar.

Cheng Gongying was startled. He could see that five thousand horses were coming from afar. It was obvious that he had been waiting for him.

"Don't be flustered. The swords and shields will form an array to resist the horse riding array. The crossbow men are ready to shoot in volley."

In an instant, five thousand horseback have been rolling in like a wave. They are full of spirit, and obviously have been keeping their energy for a long time, and a strong will is coming.

As long as the soldiers were properly arrayed, they could resist the cavalry's charge. However, Cheng Gongying was a few people after all, and he had experienced a fierce battle after a rapid march. He only fired a round of arrows, and the opposite Hu Qi rushed up. Under the constant attack of the hooligans, the formation of Liangzhou soldiers was facing collapse soon.

More than ten horsemen found a gap in the Liangzhou military array and immediately killed several people with a saber and went straight to Cheng Gongying's place along the gap.

SA!

The sharp saber cut through the wind and attacked Cheng Gongying. Fortunately, the elite soldiers on the other side fought hard with their swords, which could withstand the soldiers' front of Hu Qi.

"Join the army, Hu cavalry is too strong, please join the army for a while to avoid the wind." Sima Sun Chao in the army fought hard to kill a member of the cavalry, turned back and called out to Cheng Gongying.

Cheng Gongying frowned and said, "the whole army retreats to the earth mountain. Don't entangle with the enemy."

Hearing Cheng Gongying's order, the 3000 soldiers, under the leadership of their officers, gathered together and retreated toward the earth mountain.

When they saw the enemy retreating to the earth mountain, it was strange that the five thousand horsemen did not run after them, as if they had hoped for the enemy to retreat to the mountains.

Cheng Gongying had just retreated to the Tushan mountain, only to hear the sound of people shouting and horse neighing behind him. It turned out that Ma Teng led his army to drive down the mountain. However, Ma Teng was stunned when he saw Cheng Gongying retreat to the mountain.

"Brother Cheng, why did you rush up the mountain instead of waiting at the foot of the mountain?"

Cheng Gongying did not have time to answer, because thousands of horsemen had already rushed up, so he had to order his soldiers to form an army, hoping to block the thousands of horsemen on the mountain.

Without stopping, the thousands of horsemen directly divided them into two parts, one on the left and the other on the left and the other on the other. They darted around Chenggong's British army and headed straight down the mountain.

When the two horsemen joined together, the number was more than 8000. However, after a bloody battle on the mountain, the Ma Teng army left only about 7000 people, and their troops fell behind.

"Hahaha, Li Zhonglang, thanks to your stratagem, I was able to trap Liangzhou soldiers on the earth mountain this time." Under the earth mountain, the leader of the Qiang people's formation is full of beard and has a strong body.

Li Su laughed with a smile: "the leader flattered me. Prime Minister Dong said in advance that as long as the leader could annihilate this group of enemy troops and then send troops to Liangzhou, he would like to give the land of Juyan to the leader to herd horses."

Tu Zexiong, the leader of the Qiang people, shook his head discontentedly: "there is too little land in Juyan. Prime Minister Dong is a good friend. We should also give the land of Dunhuang county to us to herd horses, otherwise how can we settle down for herdsmen in a certain account?"

Hearing tuzexiong's blatant bargaining with himself, Li Su could not help frowning, but also looked at the Liangzhou soldiers trapped on the earth mountain, and said in his heart: let's let the Qiang people kill all the Liangzhou soldiers first, and when the army of prime minister Dong threatens Liangzhou, he will clean up the Qiang people together.

"Well But the leader must wipe out the Liangzhou soldiers on the earth mountain, otherwise Prime Minister Dong will not agree Li Su's face is not.

When tuzexiong heard that Li Su had agreed to cede Juyan and Jiuquan counties, tuzexiong was overjoyed: "Li Zhonglang and Dong Chengxiang can rest assured. Although I am a Qiang nationality, I also know the truth of my words."Li Su nodded his head and said solemnly, "please surround the enemy again. If you see Ma Teng's head with your own eyes, you can go back."

Tuzexiong said, "at this time, you don't have to rush to attack, and you'll be trapped for three days and five nights. When the enemy soldiers are exhausted and have no strength, they can kill them again. It's as easy as a piece of cake."

Li Su frowned, but this picture shows that Xiong has a little brain. If he leads the army to rush and kill now, the two sides have the same strength. Even if he can kill all the Liangzhou soldiers, this group of Hu Qi will be greatly damaged, just as Bian Zhuangzi stabbed a tiger, and one tiger dies and one tiger is injured.

Unfortunately

Tuzexiong said with a laugh: "everybody, let's have a rest and make a fire to cook. If the enemy rushes down the mountain, shoot with a bow immediately and force the enemy back."

After hearing the leader's order, more than 8000 Hu Qi dismounted and set up camp in succession. At the same time, they slaughtered the sheep they brought, and were not in a hurry to attack.

On top of the earth mountain is another scene.

"No wonder these thousands of horsemen can't distinguish the situation and have to rush to the earth mountain. I also say that they don't know the art of war. Everything is the enemy's plan." Ma Teng jumped off his horse and looked at the horses at the foot of the mountain, the dense crowd and the burning fire. Behind him was the enemy whose morale was low because of the defeat. He could not help sighing.

"Let the soldiers eat some dry food and have a rest for a while and then say something else," said Cheng Gong in English
