Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 789

There is a reason why the thunder copper grows white and tender. Yizhou is low-lying and there is very little sunshine throughout the year, so that when the sun comes out, the local dogs feel strange and yell at the sun in the sky. This is the so-called Shu. Barking day. It is precisely because of the lack of sunlight that Thunder Copper does not have the dark skin of ordinary generals, but rather pale skin.

Lei Tong's character is cautious, so Yan Yan entrusted him with an important task to guard Jiangzhou City.

He was patrolling in the military camp in the city, and suddenly he frowned when he heard a noise from the top of the city.

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

Before long, there was a sound of footsteps from the city head. Several Yizhou soldiers looked nervous and sweated on their foreheads. They rushed to Lei Tong in a hurry and said loudly: "Lieutenant Lei, there is Liangzhou army. Siege!"

"what?"

Lei Tong's first reaction was that the Liangzhou army from Pingdu seemed to be quite in number. Not only did they encircle Fuling City to Tuan Tuan, but they even had spare capacity to send troops to surround Jiangzhou!

Before he could think about it, Lei Tong rushed to the tower in a hurry, staring at it, his expression dignified.

I saw a black cloud coming over from a distance, because the Liangzhou army was all black-clothed and black-armored, and tens of thousands of Liangzhou army were aggressive, surrounded by a horse-shaped flag, and an aura of no anger and prestige spread slowly. Come here, this is definitely a rare elite soldier, not to mention that there are only three thousand soldiers under Thunder Copper now, even if he also has tens of thousands of troops, he may not be able to defeat it.

Lei Tong ordered: "Order the army to catch up with the city, leaving a thousand people as a reserve team to prevent the enemy from attacking the city."

As the Liangzhou Army slowly approached Jiangzhou City, a team of Yizhou soldiers quickly ascended to the top of the city and brought in defensive equipment such as rolling logs and rocks.

The Liangzhou Army put on a siege posture, but was not eager to attack the city, but separated the formation from the middle, and a young rider would gallop out of the formation.

This rider is no one else. It is the young Ma Xiu. He and Ma Chao are brothers. They are naturally handsome and tall, but they have just grown up with a hint of childishness on their faces.

Ma Xiu brandished a lance, shouting loudly: "I am the imperial captain Ma Xiu, I am ordered by the general to attack Jiangzhou. The enemy in the city will not descend early. When will we wait?"

The thunder copper on the head of the city snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Smelly kid, go back and drink your mother's milk, dare to go to the battlefield?"

Matthew has a violent personality, and he is naturally furious when he hears that, he will rush forward when he has a spear, but he has a war horse under his crotch, not a unicorn, so he can't fly to the head of the city, so he has to suppress his emotions and return to the formation fiercely. in.

"Father, the thief will be rude, our army might as well take Jiangzhou, so as to teach the servant a little bit hardship." Ma Xiu said bitterly.

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

"father..."

Matthew still wanted to argue a few words, but when Ma Teng opened his eyes, the nerdy didn't dare to say anything, so he had to retreat.

A few days ago, the fierce attack on Jiameng Pass, even with a thunderbolt car, was difficult to capture, which made Ma Teng feel frustrated. Although Jiangzhou City is far from being compared with the Jiameng Pass built by Yishan, it is also a major town. What's more, this time Ma Teng marched only for speed, and the army did not carry a Thunderbolt. It was difficult to conquer Jiangzhou. It's quite large, it must be damaged.

"Then how to win Jiangzhou City?" Matthew asked unwillingly.

"Don't worry, wait and see first."

Ma Teng also did not directly order the siege of the city, but instead ordered a camp around the city. Following Zhang's example, he surrounded the four groups of Jiangzhou City and dug trenches.

Although Ma Teng was not impatient or impatient, the Thunder Tong in the city was a little worried.

"There are a lot of enemy troops outside the city, so I'd better send someone to inform General Yan Yan."

Mindful of this, Lei Tong immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter, but the content was that Jiangzhou City was surrounded by enemy forces, but for the time being, it was safe to ask Yan Yan to guard Fuling.

After finishing writing, Thunder Copper found several sentry riders and ordered each of them to carry one of them, and break through the east gate in the middle of the night. As long as one of them can reach Yan Yan's hands, it is enough to be prepared.

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

Stepping on, the sound of horseshoe trampling was particularly obvious in the dark night, and the three cavalry were nervous, their legs clamped the horses, and urged the horses to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

As they gradually drove away for a certain distance, the three Bashu cavalry breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe there is no problem, right?

At this moment, not far behind them, the torch suddenly lit up, and at the same time the horse hooves of the brigade also rang, and the three Bashu cavalrymen looked at each other, their complexion suddenly became difficult to look.

"The thief army in front will leave and stay for life!"

Matthew personally brought more than a hundred Xiliang Iron Horses behind and chased him with excitement on his face. Although he was not in a hurry to attack the city, Ma Teng was also a veteran who had fought for many years. Since the army is besieging the city today, even if Thunder Copper does not ask for help from outside, he should at least tell Yan Yan, so he will definitely send a detective.

So he ordered Matthew to prepare early and immediately led the army to pursue after seeing the detective in the city rush out.

More than a hundred cavalry followed closely behind them, and the sound of their horses' hoofs trampled on the ground. The sound was thunderous. The three of them were weak and naturally did not dare to turn their heads to fight. They just clenched the reins and rushed forward.

However, the Yizhou cavalry is far inferior to the Liangzhou cavalry, regardless of the quality of riding or the quality of the horses. The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer. The Liangzhou cavalry appears half-moon-like and gradually encircles the Yizhou cavalry. In it.

"kill!"

Without saying a word, Matthew rushed up with a long spear, pierced a Yizhou cavalry in the back. The gun suddenly got in from his back and out of his chest. The Yizhou soldier screamed and fell to the ground. And the remaining two Yizhou soldiers were naturally taken care of by the Liangzhou soldiers who flocked in.

"Wei Ma, I found a few letters from them." Several Liangzhou pawns stepped forward and searched for a few letters from these Yizhou pawns and handed them to Ma Xiu. .

"Ok..."

Matthew looked at these letters, his eyes lit up, and then he waved: "Bury their bodies on the spot, and bring back the armor and the horses!"

After more than a hundred Liangzhou cavalry dug a big pit and buried the three of them hastily, they galloped back into the camp, and Ma Xiu happily carried three letters and walked into Ma Teng's military account. .
