Ma Chao, Ma Dai and his brother led dozens of private soldiers of the Ma family to the West from guzang city and stayed overnight. Now, due to the proper administration of the pastoral government of LiuYe Prefecture, the troubles of horse bandits and Qiang people in Liangzhou have been eliminated. Therefore, the two brothers have not met any Qiang people along the way.
"Elder brother, we found a kitchen pit for the army to make a fire and cook in front of us. It seems to be the kitchen pit of the army under my uncle's command." Ma Dai drove his horse and called to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's eyes lit up: "where is the kitchen pit? Take me to have a look."
"Here it is."
Ma Daixing is in front of him. Ma Chao goes with him. Soon he sees rows of cooking pits in the field. The ashes are covered by soil. It is obvious that nearly 10000 troops are cooking here.
Dozens of Ma Chao's men went all the way to Ma Teng's March. A few days later, another kitchen pit was found, but this time, the number of pits became smaller.
Ma Chao has a clear idea and says: "it is obviously that my father fought with the Qiang people, and he was slightly injured. It seems that my father should be close at hand."
Ma Dai nodded. Suddenly, he frowned and looked around carefully. He whispered to Ma Chao: "brother, there seems to be a spy nearby."
Ma Chao nodded quietly and reached out to take down an iron bow from behind.
"Roar!" All of a sudden, he gave a big drink and spread all around the wilderness. In the wilderness, a horse lying in the hollow ground was scared to stand up and exposed the horse on his back.
Hu Qi was surprised, and then realized that he had been found out. Without saying a word, he pulled his horse and fled. There were dozens of Han soldiers in this group. He was only on his own and could not make a fight with each other.
"Stay where you are, and someone can do it." Ma Chao gave a command to Ma Dai and others. Then he drove his horse out and held the long bow tightly in his hands. A carving feather arrow was placed on the bow string and aimed at the escaped Hu Qi from a distance.
Whoosh!
The bow string was ringing, and an arrow broke through the air. When Hu Qi heard the sound of the sound behind him, he said in his heart that he was not good. He quickly lowered his upper body on the horse's back.
But unexpectedly, Ma Chao's arrow was not aimed at him at all, but at the horse in his crotch. The arrow flew out and even hit the front foot of the horse. Hu Qi stepped down from his horse and screamed sadly. His body leaped forward because of his inertia. The injured horse's hoof suddenly folded and knelt on the ground. He threw his horse out and turned several somersaults on the ground, which made him look pale.
Hu Qi's face was buried in the yellow sand. He quickly raised his head and shook the yellow sand between his head and neck. He just raised his head, and a fierce murderous force came.
A bright silver gun stuck to Hu Qi's throat, less than an inch away. Hu Qi raised his face tremblingly, only to see a young knight's face emitting a cold breath.
Ma Chao lived in Liangzhou since he was a child. His grandmother is also a Qiang nationality. Naturally, he knows the Qiang language: "if you dare to move, you will be shot in the throat."
That Hu Qi gently shakes his head: "dare not, dare not, ask the general to spare my life."
Ma Chao's archery skills are amazing. In fact, he is quite sure that he will shoot the cavalry through his throat with the arrow just now. However, Ma Chao's purpose is not to kill the hooligan, but to extract information from his mouth. Therefore, he shot the horse with one arrow.
"If you are a liar, I will tell you the truth." Ma super cold channel.
"I dare not. Please ask the general."
Ma Chao said, "how many troops and horses have been sent out in this rebellion?"
"Five thousand people..."
"How dare you Ma Chao gave a big drink, and the silver gun suddenly hit the horse's shoulder and splashed a bloody flower. The pain of the horse called out, facial features twisted.
Ma Chao Leng hums: "the first question dares to deceive me, it seems that today does not give you some fierce taste is not good."
Hu Qi was so scared by Ma Chao that he didn't expect that the child would be so cruel. He didn't dare to cheat him. He immediately answered the matter.
"How many people are there and who is the leader?"
"Little general, we sent out ten thousand people to control the string, and the leader was tuzexiong, the leader."
"Have you been able to fight with a general surnamed Ma of the Han army recently? What's the outcome?"
"Yes..."
Ma Chao asked, and Hu Qi answered, but the more Ma Chao listened, the more stern he looked.
"You say that your father has been besieged by you on the earth mountain and can't get out?" Ma Chao said angrily.
Hu Qi flattered: "if we know that General Ma is the father of General Ma, where can we dare to surround General Ma?"
Ma Chao snorted and waved: "you can go."
Hu Qi's face was overjoyed: "thank you, General Ma."
Pooh!
Suddenly, the silver gun poked out and pierced through Hu Qi's throat. A sharp pain came from his throat. Hu Qi couldn't believe it. He looked up at Ma Chao and reached for the gun.
"You You
"If a gentleman keeps his word, how can he tell Hu Lu any faith?" Ma chaoleng hum, reached out to pull out the long money, a stream of blood splashed out, Hu Qi was unable to lie down on the ground, but his pupils could not be closed, reflecting the reflection of a white horse general.Seeing that Ma Chao came back with a dignified face, Ma Dai came forward and asked, "brother, why is your face so ugly? Is it uncle's bad war?"
Ma Chao nodded: "my father is surrounded by Qiang people's iron horses on the earth mountain. As long as there is an army rushing down, the Qiang people will immediately shoot back with arrows, and now they can't get out."
Ma Dai frowned: "this can't work. Isn't uncle in danger? I should wait for help as soon as possible. "
After saying this, Ma Dai could not help but sigh. As for these dozens of people, it is estimated that before they can save uncle, all these dozens of people will be involved.
Ma Chao raised his head, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Yes, of course." Ma Chao clenched his fist with no doubt.
Ma Dai is not the enthusiasm to attack Ma Chao. "Brother, we have dozens of people. If we rush into the army of ten thousand people, we are afraid that it will be a bullock entering the sea, and there will be no news."
The silver soft fur on the lion's helmet was blowing in the wind. Ma Chao said slowly, "of course, we can not blindly enter the enemy's camp. We can attack the camp at night and set fire to make the enemy do not distinguish us. In the chaos, my father can take advantage of this opportunity."
Ma Dai nodded: "it's the only way. I'm going to prepare what I need to set fire."
"Well, get ready."
Ma Chao asked Ma Teng and his troops where they were trapped. So when Ma Dai was ready to set fire, he led several ten private soldiers to find the barren mountain where Ma Teng was trapped and quietly waited for the night.
Strangely enough, however, there was chaos in the enemy camp.
