Composed of more than 10,000 elite cavalry, the raiding troops under the command of Hua Xiong caused an attack on Ma Teng and Han Sui, causing them to delay their attack on the city to a certain extent and also cause some casualties.

But in reality, it doesn't work much.

In the large array of Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two stood on horseback. After only one glance at the situation in the north, he turned his head back to look at Xiangping City in front of him.

Now it is the gap in the wheel battle, the two leading generals retreat from the front, and the three leading generals go up, and the scale is still about 10,000 people.

The dead soldiers on the ground were piled up, and there were no one to take care of the wounded and groaning in pain.

"Huaxiong is still good. But we have a huge number of troops, and the offensive is endless. Even Hua Xiong is powerless. In January, Dong Zhuo could only hold out for a month.

Ma Teng looked up at the "Dong" flag in Xiangping City, and had already begun to fantasize about the scenery of stepping on this flag under his feet.

"Let's go up and down in January. Dong Zhuo is still a little tough. Han Sui pinched his beard and gave him a working period, maybe Dong Zhuo could hold on for a few more days?"

After the two chatted for a while, Ma Teng waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and cheer. And the drummer has been changed several times, and no matter how strong he is, he can't stand beating the drum for so long.

This powerful offensive lasted from morning to dusk. When the fire burned the western sky, Ma Teng ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

"Ding, ding, ding. In the crisp sound of gold, the soldiers under the command of Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated like a tide. Then they collected weapons, disposed of corpses, and treated the wounded.

Poor I don't know how many soldiers were injured, and then fell in the cold wind and slowly died.

The soldiers of Dong Zhuo in the city didn't take the opportunity to do anything, they were too tired, and everyone knew that if the corpse was not disposed of and buried, it was prone to plague.

When the offense and defense stop, it is safe. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru came out of the city gate and joined the generals. Dong Zhuo pressed his sword and stood on the wall full of corpses, raising his eyes to look ahead.

"If you have more soldiers, you can do whatever you want. If it weren't for my plan, I would have burned down the city tonight and retreated to Yixian. Rao

is Dong Zhuo also crawled out of the pile of dead people, but when he saw so many corpses in the city and under the city, he was also a little trembling, not afraid of the death of others, but afraid of his own death.

Li Ru nodded, if it weren't for Zhang Xiu's strategy, they would have retreated long ago. The court's rebuke is terrible, but it is also terrible to throw the army here and be killed.

Now Zhang Xiu led 6,000 foot riders and rampaged Liangzhou. It's all counting on him.

"The soldiers have also worked hard. He ordered all the pigs and sheep to be taken out, and the pigs and sheep were slaughtered and the soldiers were rewarded. Prepare more winter clothes, so that the soldiers do not get frostbitten. In addition, take care of Zhang Xiu's 20,000 men and women, don't freeze too many people to death. Dong

Zhuo is also good at raising soldiers, and taking into account Zhang Xiu's rampant outside, he also takes care of Zhang Xiu's more than 20,000 steps, and orders Li Ru.

"No. Li Ru promised and was very serious.

"Order the generals to be on strict guard tonight to prevent Ma Teng and Han Sui from leading troops to raid. They have a lot of troops, can be rotated, and are very likely to attack at night.

Dong Zhuo then looked around at the generals in the city and said in a deep voice.

"No. "

The generals, who were almost dyed with blood, answered in order.

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan left with their lives, Dong Zhuo's vitality was greatly damaged. But the generals under Dong Zhuo's command are also tough guys, ruthless characters who can fight hard battles.

It can still be done if you insist on persistence, and now the key is to see whether Zhang Xiu can run rampant in Liangzhou.

A young general who was less than 20 years old, led 6,000 foot riders, prepared more bows and crossbows, and traveled rampant through Liangzhou for thousands of miles.

How sinister is it? The people of Liangzhou all know that this is a place of death and then life.

If Zhang Xiu can accomplish such a feat, he will definitely be famous all over the world. also saved Dong Zhuo's army.

...........

Zhang Xiu rode out of the camp at night with 6,000 steps, secretly went to the northwest, took the small road, avoided Ma Teng, Han Sui's military sentry horse, and explored the horse, and in the evening, set up camp on a wasteland by the water.

He also ordered the soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees, strengthen the barracks, and shoot more bows and crossbows, and not to slack off. After dinner, Zhang Xiu led more than ten soldiers such as Dian Wei to inspect the camp by sword.

When the soldiers saw that Zhang Xiu personally came to patrol the camp, they did not dare to slack off, and they were all in good spirits to prepare for the enemy.

After inspecting the camp, Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei turned the big tent. The tent was brightly lit, Pang De, Hu Che'er, Liu Pi, Gongdu and others sat on both sides, and Xi Zhicai sat alone on the right side of Zhang Xiu.

"Now the soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and they have left the range of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army. Where to take the place first?" Zhang Xiu ordered Dian Wei to guard outside, pressed his sword and came to the general's seat and sat down, looked around at the generals, and said.

"Report to the general. Take the city of Didao first. Pound said.

"Why?" Zhang Xiu asked, looking up. Pang De is a native of Liangzhou and knows the terrain of mountains and rivers very well, which is also their advantage.

"The military rations of the thieves (Ma Teng, Han Sui) are in Jicheng, Lieliu, and Shangtai City, but they are all heavily guarded. Attacks are unwinnable. And the counties of Longyou, Longxi County is the most remote. Taishou was definitely unprepared. A battle is decided. Invade the city, burn its grain and grass, and then move on to the golden city. Cool State. Pound

bowed.

The money and grain of the Liangzhou counties entered Jicheng, Lieliu, and Shangtai cities, but it was impossible to attack these three cities.

Longyou is a geographical concept with multiple counties.

In history, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, out of Qishan, ordered Ma Tan to guard the street pavilion, besieged Guo Huai in Shangqi, and cut off the Weishui River and Longshan Road, the two roads into Liangzhou. I plan to take Longright. As long as Longyou is obtained, the connection between the imperial court and Liangzhou can be severed.

The county administration of Longxi County is in Didao City.

After Zhang Xiu listened to Pang De's words, he immediately ordered someone to take the map, beckoned the future to watch, and after some discussion, he decided to attack Didao City first.

After the discussion, Zhang Xiu pardoned the generals and ordered them to rest and recuperate. Then he also asked Dian Wei to rest in his tent, leaving only a few personal soldiers to guard outside the tent. Then he entered the back tent, fluttered on the fox Jin's body, and after being satisfied, he fell asleep with Jin's smooth body in his arms.

The next day, after Zhang Xiu had breakfast energetically, he put on his armor, took a big gun, rode out on horseback, and led the army to the northwest.

They had a lot of horses and carts, the weather in the northwest was dry, and the speed of the march was very fast, they could walk more than 100 miles a day, and they reached the city of Didao at a very fast speed.

However, it is impossible to hide from everyone when marching like this. Someone had already discovered Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses, and sent someone to inform

the Longxi County Guard of the so-called Longxi County Guard, of course, it was also appointed by Ma Teng and Han Sui. The surname is Zhang's name Tiger, and it is rumored that it is after the famous general Zhang Han. This person has been attached to Ma Teng for many years, and he has been running Longxi County for three or four years.

And as Pang De expected, at present, Ma Teng and Han Sui's heavy troops are on the front line, the rear is empty, Longxi is the most remote, and Zhang Hu has no garrison force at all. Although the city is tall, the garrison is less than a thousand, and all of them are old and weak.

However, there are a lot of military rations piled up in Didao City, and the military rations of a county in Longxi are piled up in Didao City.

Zhang Hu first heard that a horse infantry army of six or seven thousand people was rampaging in the southeast direction. The banner is "Zhang", and he didn't care.

Ten percent of the troops rampant in the border of Liangzhou are Ma Teng and Han Sui. He also thought that the other party was too, and he still came to get military rations.

But then he realized that something was wrong and ordered the city gates to be closed. And personally put on armor, came to the city to prepare for the enemy, and organized the poor more than 1,000 old and weak soldiers and horses in the city to garrison.

"Where did you come from??? dare to come to the city of Didao, do you know that this is the county boundary of Ma Gong (Ma Teng)?"

Zhang Hu probed to see that Zhang Xiu's army under the city was strong and strong, and he couldn't help but be frightened, but his voice was fierce, trying to scare the other party away with Ma Teng's prestige.

Now in the Liangzhou territory, no one's name is more effective than Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"Don't intimidate me, men of the city. I am Wuwei Zhang Xiuye. The day before yesterday, he fought with Ma Teng and Han Sui and killed six of their generals. Hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels, none of them are men who dare to fight me. If you surrender the city, I will let you live, but if you close the city and defend it. After the city is broken, kill your family.

Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei and more than ten light horsemen rode out, exhaled a long breath, and shouted towards the city.

Although Longxi County is remote, the transmission of military information is not slow. Zhang Xiu killed six generals Ma Teng and Han Sui, and was invincible.

It has long been swept here with the wind. What's even better is that Zhang Xiu is also a native of Wuwei, Liangzhou, and people are not only frightened, but also relish.

When Zhang Hu heard Zhang Xiu's name, he was immediately shocked, blood rushed to his brain, and he almost fainted in a whirlwind.

"There are so brave men in the city as generals, and there are six or seven thousand strong soldiers. There are less than 1,000 defenders in my city, how can we resist?"

After Zhang Hu calmed down, after thinking about it, he had a countermeasure. He probed down again, and said in a fierce voice: "It doesn't matter if you are Zhang Xiu or Li Xiu." I have been ordered to defend this place, but no one wants to take the city.

Then Zhang Hu turned his head and looked around, and said: "I want to live and die with this city, you wait for a good life to guard." "

No. Seeing that Zhang Hu was so imposing, the old and weak around him were also demoralized, and they suddenly agreed.

Zhang Xiu under the city frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that the Taishou in this remote place was so hard. Now it's in trouble. They came in a light army, and had no siege equipment.

It's about surprise, and intimidation is the mainstay. If the other party doesn't open the city gate, at least prepare an ordinary ladder, and then attack the city, right?"

Ordered the soldiers to prepare simple ladders and attack the city tomorrow. Zhang Xiu frowned, but he was not discouraged, and gave the order to attack the city tomorrow.

"No. The soldier replied and gave the order. Pang De commanded all the soldiers and began to set up camp and set up tents.

It was still early in the morning, and there were soldiers who were ordered to make simple ladders.

The big tent of the Chinese army was set up first, and Zhang Xiu turned back and rested first.
