Geng Zhi opened his mouth and cursed: "You are a bitch. My family has favored you for many generations. What qualifications do you have to be called the same as me?"
Ma Teng's head buzzed, and his face turned red with purple. The so-called Zang was the title given to the Han father and the Qiang mother. This was tantamount to scolding him for what kind of race he was. This matter was one of his taboos, and it was considered a reversal. Most people would only talk behind their backs, but Geng Zhi showed no mercy and mentioned it to his face, which immediately angered Ma Teng, who was known for his kindness and humility.
"You dare to insult me with words?"
Ma Teng threw off the riding crop and slapped Geng Zhi hard on the face. Geng Zhi howled miserably and fell on his back. His hands trembled and he covered his face. His eyes filled with hatred, and he said angrily: "You bitch, you actually..."
The whip fell again, and Geng Zhi didn't care to curse any more, screaming and rolling around to relieve the pain in his body.
Ma Teng was really angry. He flew into a rage. The whip scraped the air and made a shrill scream. Geng Zhi's white heart coat covered with mud showed shocking traces of blood. Ma Teng didn't stop until he was tired.
Geng Zhi lay on the ground like a dog, dying. Although he no longer yelled, his eyes were full of resentment. No wonder Geng Zhi's city was not deep. He was born in a noble family and had a smooth career throughout his career. Even the domineering Gai Jun How could anyone dare to touch a hair of his just by saying something disgusting about him?
Seeing Geng Zhi's expression, Ma Teng was filled with fear. He unsheathed his sword and walked up to Geng Zhi.
A trace of fear appeared on Geng Zhi's face, and he said with a fierce expression: "If you have the ability, chop off my head."
Ma Teng's face turned ferocious, and he raised his knife to chop. Suddenly, there was deathly silence all around.
"Gulu" Geng Zhi squinted his eyes at the blade just a few inches away from his left cheek, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn't believe Ma Teng dared to kill him, but when the knife came to him, he really thought he was going to die. Fortunately, he had good judgment. No errors occurred.
With a livid face, Ma Teng pulled out the ring-headed knife inserted into the soil. He really couldn't kill Geng Zhi. He held Feng Maoling's horse on his right hand. The two families of Geng and Geng had been married for generations and had good fortunes for many generations. If this person died in his hands, first of all, Not to mention whether General Gai Junbao could protect him and recognize his ancestors - his greatest wish in this life would become a dream that could never be realized.
Ma Teng's anger subsided and he said: "Yesterday, the Xiongnu Huchuquan Shanyu rebelled and sent ten thousand cavalry to sneak attack the Xiongnu Zhonglang general. I accidentally noticed it, so I led three thousand soldiers to ambush him, and defeated the Xiongnu army. Huchuquan Shanyu Quan Chanyu was desperate and committed suicide. I unexpectedly learned from the Huns that Huchuquan Chanyu did not act alone, but was colluding with Shuofang Zhuhu, who were about to invade Wuyuan and Xihe counties with tens of thousands of horses..."
Geng Zhi didn't listen at all and said to Ma Teng word by word: "You will definitely die in an ugly way."
Ma Teng became angry again and took a deep look at Geng Zhi. He could not kill Geng Zhi with his own hands, but he could use the help of Zhu Fang in the guise. He kept comforting himself in his heart, saying why bother with the dying person.
As the footsteps approached, Ma Teng's eyes turned to Du Liao's Chang Shi, Zheng, Sima and others who were hurriedly approaching. Although he did not often interact with them, he had been ordered by Gai Jun the year before last to send Wanqi into Bingzhou to participate. He spent about half a year in the crusade against the barbarians, so he had a history of fighting side by side.
Several people were shocked when they saw Geng Zhi's miserable appearance.
Ma Teng repeated what he had just said to Geng Zhi, and said that he wanted to take over the Du Liao camp and take it with him to fight. Several people looked at Geng Zhi, then at Ma Teng, and nodded hurriedly.
General Du Liao's camp had 5,000 men, but only 2,000 cavalry. This was because the war horses consumed a lot of food. A war horse ate forage for a month, and the food was more than what the field soldiers needed for three months. Once the war started, the cost would be even greater.
Of course, the most important reason is that Duliaoying is not a direct descendant of Bingzhou Mu Gaijun, so there is no reason to support them generously.
This matter was not a problem for Ma Teng. He captured 6,000 Huns and tens of thousands of horses, enough to equip the Liao camp.
The Xiongnu Zhonglang generals were kept awake all day and night, so Ma Teng ordered them to rest for half a day. When the time was approaching, an envoy came from the west on flying horses. Ma Teng heard that tens of thousands of Hus from Shuofang were riding across the Yellow River's branch, the Beihe River, and entered Wuyuan County.
Besieging Xi Anyang, not daring to delay any longer, he led 13,000 Han and Hungarian cavalry to rush to the northwest.
As mentioned in the previous book, Wuyuan County is wide in the west and narrow in the east. It is pressed into a narrow line by the Xihe River in the south and Yunzhong County in the north. There are two counties, Manbai and Wudu, where the Liaoying Camp is stationed. Wuyuan County is west of Wuyuan County.
It has a wide area and is separated by the Yellow River. It has seven counties. There is only one county in Henan, Heyin, and the other six counties are all in Hebei.
Ma Teng came to the river in the north of Heyin County, but stopped moving forward...
"Zhonglang, cross the river quickly, it will be too late if you are too late."
Facing the urging of everyone, Ma Teng remained silent and stared straight at the raging river.
"Zhonglang..."
Ma Teng suddenly said: "If you can't cross the river, go west."
"To the west? To the west is the Shuofang realm."
"Yes." Ma Teng's voice was extremely firm. "Enter Shuofang, and then take a circuitous route back behind Zhu Hu."
"this……"
"I have made up my mind." Ma Teng waved his hand to interrupt everyone's doubts and led his troops straight to the west along the river.
Shuofang, like Wuyuan County, is separated from it by the Yellow River. Compared with Hebei, which is crisscrossed by waterways and rich in water and grass, most of Henan is a desert area, suitable for farming, and the nomadic areas are far less than those in Hebei. Of course, this place is not without its merits. It has several
Gai Jun has been coveting the large salt pond for a long time, but the cost of regaining Shuofang is not small. In addition, with the advent of troubled times, his attention has shifted southward, so he has been putting it off.
After the Han and Hungarian armies entered the territory of Shuofang, they began to cross the desert. Except for the first gathering place of the Hu people, who needed a guide, they did not use the knife. At other times they encountered Hu people, regardless of whether they were hostile or not, they killed them directly and formed tribes into tribes.
Massacre, blood flow for hundreds of miles, zombies for hundreds of miles...
Following the guidance of their guide, the Han and Hungarian armies crossed the Yellow River from a certain crossing to the north, then crossed the Yellow River's branch to the east, the Beihe River, and successfully circled behind the barbarians in Shuofang.
The scouts reported that Xianyang had not fallen, and Ma Teng nodded calmly. This was expected. First of all, Xianyang was Wuyuan County's first line of defense against Shuofang, and the city defense was strong. Secondly, the barbarians were not good at attacking the city.
The moon was not a problem, otherwise how would he dare to spend more than ten days on a long roundabout?
As for the Zhuhus in Shuofang, who knew that Xi'an Yang was difficult to eat, why didn't they come in from Henan? Ma Teng thought that Huchuquan Shanyu had negotiated with them, and one was responsible for Henan and the other was responsible for Hebei. This is the end of the story, so don't pay attention to it.
The Hu people went out to fight, and the herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep to follow the army. Now more than ten thousand Han soldiers suddenly appeared behind them. They were stunned and looked at a loss.
What was important at this time was the word "quick". The Han army took two thousand soldiers of the Xiongnu Zhonglang general as the vanguard, attacked all the way, cleared all obstacles as quickly as possible, and rushed into the defenseless Hu rear army.
The Hu tribe had crude armor and weak weapons. They were no match for the Han army in close combat. After the latter was equipped with stirrups, the gap became even more obvious. It was almost a one-sided massacre. Within a quarter of an hour, the Hu tribe's rear army was defeated and fled in all directions.
The Han army did not stop and rushed to the foot of Yangxi City in Xi'an. This time, the Hu came from Shuo Fang totaled more than 30,000 riders, with about 10,000 riders in each of the three directions of Xi'an's west, north and east. In other words, the Han army was evenly matched in numbers.
Don't suffer.
When the Han army in Yangcheng, Xi'an saw a large number of reinforcements descending from the sky, they cheered like a mountain and a tsunami. The city gate was opened, and more than a thousand cavalry generals came out, driving the Hu siege soldiers to kill them wantonly. Shuofang outside the west gate
Hu Jun was attacked from two sides and couldn't bear it, so he rushed towards the north of the city.
The Han army drove the defeated army to cover up the Hu army in the north of the city, forming a melee.
Lu Naduo, the leader of Tuge, twisted his face into a ball and shouted: "Why did the Han army emerge from the west?"
Shi Hu said coldly: "I told you a long time ago not to go against Gai Jun, but you didn't listen..."
Lu Naduo said angrily: "You are a shameful person who slaughters everyone. If you continue to mislead everyone with your evil words, do you believe me or not? I will kill you?"
"Shut up," scolded Dong Qi'er, the most powerful force in Tuge. "Do you want to fight or flee now?"
Lu Naduo said: "There are more than ten thousand riders outside the east gate..."
"What else can those bastards who are as cunning as foxes do besides taking advantage of others? Do you expect them to contribute to defeat the Han army?" Shi Hu sneered. The bastards he mentioned meant living in Shuofang,
Hu people who have no ethnic affiliation. In fact, if they slaughter each other, they are just a hodgepodge, which is quite like a monk calling others bald donkeys.
Seeing that his side was getting more disadvantaged, Dong Qi'er's expression kept changing, and he gritted his teeth and uttered the word "withdraw".
There is Beihe in the west, which is a dead end. There is a big river in the south, so there is no way to go. To the east is the interior of Wuyuan County, which is even more inaccessible. Now Tu Ge and others have no choice but to flee north, escape from Han, and return to Shuofang via the Xianbei border.
Ma Teng led his army in pursuit for several miles, and then turned around to attack Shuofang Zahu who had withdrawn from the east of the city. Shortly after the two engaged in battle, 3,000 Han troops from Wuyuan County came from the east and attacked Hu Qi. It was not a coincidence that reinforcements arrived.
, In fact, they had arrived in Xianyang a few days ago, but Hu Qi was outnumbered and had been hiding more than ten miles away. They knew it as soon as Ma Teng fought.
Shuofang Zahu fought fiercely for a long time and barely escaped the pursuit of the Han army. Everyone in the Zahu leader was seriously injured and cursed Dong Qi'er. Lu Naduo and others were despicable and caught up with Tu near the border between Han and Xianbei.
Everyone, without saying a word, blew their trumpets to attack.
A few days ago, the two parties were sitting together eating meat and drinking wine, calling each other brothers, but now they were fighting each other till death, with blood flowing like rivers.
Lu Naduo was beheaded soon after, Dong Qi'er was hit in the face, and Shuo Fang Zahu was not much better. Many leaders died in the battle, which was far more tragic than the Battle of Xi Anyang, and was even surrounded by the Han army.
Little did they know that by the time they discovered it, it was too late. There were nearly 10,000 barbarians, but less than a thousand successfully broke out.
At this point, the conspiracy of the Xiongnu Huchuquan Chanyu and the Shuofang Zhuhus was officially declared bankrupt. If they did not have the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Ma Teng, they might have been able to achieve something while the northern part of Bingzhou was empty. Unfortunately, they happened to meet Ma Teng.
.
Ma Teng started with 3,000 Han soldiers, and in ten days he completely annihilated the Huns in two battles. Hu had more than 40,000 cavalry, and the famous generals in ancient times were nothing more than that. Compared with the brilliant results achieved, the losses of the Han army were minimal, and the only thing that was a little regretful was
Unfortunately, Geng Zhi, the general of Liao Dynasty, died on the battlefield.
