Chapter 789

There is a reason why Lei Tong grows white and tender. Yizhou is low-lying and has little sunlight all year round. When the sun comes out, the local dogs feel strange and yell at the sun in the sky. This is also known as the dog barking day. It is because of the less sunlight, so thunder copper is not as dark as the general general, but is very white.

Because of his cautious character, Lei Tong was entrusted with an important task by Yan Yan to guard Jiangzhou city.

He was patrolling the barracks in the city when he heard the noise coming from the city and frowned.

"What's the matter? What's the noise? "

Before long, there was a sound of foot steps coming from the head of the city. Several Yizhou soldiers looked nervous, and their forehead was dripping with sweat. They ran to Lei Tong in a hurry and said in a loud voice: "Lei Xiaowei, Liangzhou army is attacking the city!"

"What?"

Lei Tong's first reaction was that the number of Liangzhou troops from Pingdu was quite large. They not only surrounded Fuling City, but also sent troops to surround Jiangzhou!

Too late to think about it, thunder copper rushed to the city tower and looked at it with extreme eyes. He could not help but look dignified.

It seems that a lot of dark clouds are pressing down from the distance, because the Liangzhou army is nothing but black clothes and black armour. Tens of thousands of Liangzhou army are fierce, surrounded by a horse flag, and a momentum of not angry and self-confident slowly spreads over. This is undoubtedly a rare elite soldier, not to mention that Lei Tong has only 3000 soldiers under him, even if he also has tens of thousands of soldiers, they are not seen To be able to win.

Thunder copper ordered: "command all armies to catch up with the city, leaving 1000 people as the reserve team, to strictly prevent the enemy from attacking the city."

While the Liangzhou army was slowly approaching Jiangzhou City, a team of Yizhou soldiers also quickly boarded the city head and brought rolling wood, stone and other guarding equipment to prepare for defensive operations.

However, the Liangzhou army did not rush to attack the city, but separated the formation from the middle, and a young rider would gallop out of the array.

This will be no one else. It is Ma Xiu, who is young. He and Ma Chao are brothers. Naturally, they are handsome and tall, but they are just coming of age with a trace of childishness on their faces.

Ma Xiu waved a lance and cried out, "I'm Ma Xiu, the commander of the imperial court. I've been ordered by the general to attack Jiangzhou. The enemy troops in the city haven't arrived early. When will we wait?"

Thunder copper on the head of the city heard the speech and snorted coldly: "suckling child, go back to drink your mother's milk, and dare to go to the battlefield?"

Ma Xiu's character was irritable. He was furious when he heard the words. He would rush forward with his gun. However, the horse under his hip was not a unicorn. Naturally, he could not fly to the city. Therefore, he had to suppress his emotions and return to the array.

"Father, the thief will be rude. Our army might as well take Jiangzhou and teach him to suffer." Ma Xiu hated.

Ma Teng shook his head when he heard the speech: "Jiangzhou is an important town. If our army can't attack it, it's just a loss of strength."

"Father..."

MA Xiu still wanted to argue a few words, but Ma Teng opened his eyes and dared not say anything more, so he had to step down.

A few days ago, he stormed Jiameng pass, but it was difficult to attack even with thunderbolt vehicles, which made Ma Teng feel frustrated. Although Jiangzhou city is far from being compared with Jiameng pass built on the mountain, it is also an important town. What's more, Ma Teng's march is only for speed, and there is no thunderbolt vehicle in the army. It's very difficult to capture Jiangzhou, and you have to compromise at a loss.

"How did you win Jiangzhou city?" Asked Matthew reluctantly.

"Don't worry. Wait and see."

Ma Teng also did not directly order to attack the city, but ordered to set up camp around the city. He imitated Zhang jaw and surrounded Jiangzhou city on all sides and dug trenches.

Although Ma Teng is not anxious or impatient, the thunder copper in the city is a little worried.

"There are many enemy troops outside the city. It's better to send someone to inform general Yan Yan."

With this in mind, Lei Tong immediately took up his pen and wrote a letter. The content was that Jiangzhou city was surrounded by enemy troops, but for the time being, Yan Yan was requested to guard Fuling.

After writing, Lei Tong sent for several sentries and ordered each of them to carry one. At midnight, he broke through from the east gate and left. As long as one of them could reach Yan Yan Yan's hand, it would be enough to take precautions.

That night, dark clouds shrouded the stars and the moon, and the east gate of Jiangzhou opened slowly, and three Bashu cavalry sped out.

The trampling sound of horses' hooves was particularly obvious in the dark. The three cavalry were nervous, and their legs clamped the horses, urging the horses to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

With the gradual gallop and a certain distance, the three Bashu cavalry were relieved, probably no problem?

At this time, not far behind them, the torches suddenly lit up. At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves of the brigade also rang. The three Bashu cavalry looked at each other, and their faces suddenly became ugly.

"Don't leave the thief army in front of you. Leave your life!"

Ma Xiu personally took more than 100 Xiliang iron horses to chase after him with a look of excitement on his face. Although he was not in a hurry to attack the city, Ma Teng was also a veteran general who had been fighting for many years. Since the army was besieged today, even if Lei Tong didn't ask for help, he should at least tell Yan Yan that he would send out a sentry.So he ordered Matthew to prepare early, and when he saw the outpost coming out of the city, he immediately led his troops to pursue.

More than a hundred cavalry followed closely behind them. The sound of horses' hooves trampled on the ground, and the sound was like thunder. The three men were weak in strength and did not dare to fight back. They just grasped the reins and rushed forward.

However, the distance between the two states will not be better than that of the cavalry.

"Kill!"

Without saying a word, Matthew rushed up with a long spear in his hand, and thrust a gun at the back of a Yizhou cavalry. The shot went into his back and out of his chest. The Yizhou soldier screamed and fell to the ground. And the remaining two Yizhou soldiers were naturally settled by the Liangzhou soldiers.

"Captain Madu, I found some letters on them." Several Liangzhou riders groped forward and searched out several letters from these Yizhou riders and handed them to Ma Xiu.

"Well..."

after reading these letters, Matthew could not help but brighten his eyes. Then he waved and said, "bury their bodies on the spot, and take back their armor and horses!"

More than a hundred Liangzhou cavalry dug a big hole to bury the three men, and then they galloped all the way back to the camp. Ma Xiu, with three letters in a hurry, walked into the tent of Mateng central army.
