Snowing?

Not long after the wolf smoke rose, Ma Teng and Han Sui were a little surprised by the sudden heavy snowfall in the sky. What a coincidence. Could it be that Chen Mo could do some magic? Can he control the wind and rain?

"Brother Shoucheng, it's snowing heavily today, and the food road will definitely be unsustainable. We..." Han Sui found Ma Teng, sighed and said, "Let's withdraw our troops."

Looking at the scale of the snow, it will be more difficult to transport food and grass. In addition, the cold weather today is not suitable for fighting. Now it snows, it is even harder to achieve anything. The cold can freeze people to death. Now in the army,

There are also many soldiers who have contracted the cold.

Ma Teng looked at Han Sui with complicated eyes, nodded silently and said: "As promised, we will withdraw our troops immediately."

We can't wait any longer. We must leave before the road is completely blocked by heavy snow, retreat to Longxi, wait for the snow to stop, and then return to Zuwei. This battle has been fought fiercely until now, but except for one building that was burned down by others.

Outside the camp, they had almost no gains, but many Qiang warriors died in battle, and Ma Chao also lost a lot of his prestige.

And if he retreats this time, at least the land in Longxi will be owned by Chen Mo, as well as the Anding area. I'm afraid that candidate won't be able to hold on.

After the two simply decided on a retreat strategy, they quickly ordered their generals to pack up their gear and start withdrawing their troops while the heavy snow was falling. This battle in Xiliang, on the face of it, it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who initiated it.

But if you ask the two of them, they actually don’t want to fight this war. However, the Qiang people were forced by Zang Hong’s policies to come to ask for help and complain. Basically, this time the two of them were forced by the Qiang people or

He was forced to fight this battle by Zang Hong.

The losses of the two troops themselves were not much, but the losses of the Qiang people were definitely a lot. The Po Qiang led by Ma Chao suffered a loss of seven thousand, not to mention the consumption of sieges during these days, and the fifty thousand Qiang troops died in battle.

There were still many Qiang people who were infected with the wind and cold and were waiting to die. When Ma Teng and Han Sui broke out of camp and returned, of the 50,000 troops who came with them, there were only less than 30,000 Qiang people who followed them back. A large number of Qiang people were infected with the wind and cold.

He was left in the camp groaning in pain.

When the snow stopped for a while and Chen Mo's soldiers and horses arrived, all they saw was a battalion full of wounded soldiers.

"Lord, these soldiers are infected with the wind and cold. How should we deal with them?" Bao Geng led the vanguard battalion to join Chen Mo and told him the situation in the camp. In such weather, Ma Teng and Han Sui had to withdraw their troops. These wounded soldiers would have to be withdrawn.

It would only slow down the march, so it was obviously abandoned.

"Give them a good time and bury them on the spot." Chen Mo's expression was a little cold.

"Here!" Bao Geng nodded. This kind of thing is very common in this era. They are enemies and they are Qiang people. They won't feel too guilty. Besides, even Ma Teng and Han Sui left these people behind.

No matter, do they expect Chen Mo, an enemy, to save them? Chen Mo obviously didn't have this idea. He buried them on the spot because he was worried about breeding the plague. Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn't care.

Screams continued to sound in the camp. Chen Mo did not enter the camp. He led his troops around the military camp. The traces of the enemy's departure were covered by wind and snow. However, at this time, the route they were going to take was not difficult to guess. Chen Mo took a look.

Tian Se, facing Yang Ding and Liang Xing beside him, said: "You two each lead your own troops and horses to pursue Longxi along the road. Remember, send multiple scouts. After you find the enemy's main force, you don't have to fight immediately. You just need to keep a distance."

Just follow and prevent them from having a good rest. If those Qiang soldiers turn around and fight, don't confront them head-on."

The Qiang soldiers now only want to go back. As the saying goes, don't hide when you return to the army. If you push them too hard, they will fight to the death. Holding them down will exhaust their morale and fighting spirit little by little. When they reach Longxi, they will be defeated.

The day the Korean Allied Forces were destroyed!

"Here!" Generals Yang Ding and Liang Xing agreed and led their troops away.

"Gao Shun!" Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun, who had been useless, and said with a smile: "This last battle is a time to make achievements in the camp, so that the soldiers can cultivate themselves well."

"Here!" Gao Shun bowed after hearing this. Naturally, this final battle cannot be fought only by the trapped camp. After all, the trapped camp only has a thousand people. Chen Mo's other ministries will cooperate, but the function of the trapped camp is to completely break up the enemy's last bit of morale.

In this battle, Chen Mo not only wanted to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also severely damaged the Xiliang Qiang people, beating them until they were afraid, and then appeasing them!

The pursuers of Yang Ding and Liang Xing soon found traces of the Ma-Korean coalition. With Zhao Cen's lesson, Liang Xing and Yang Ding did not dare to push too hard. They just followed from a distance and sent small groups of troops to kill them from time to time.

There are some stragglers, but they will never get close to the opponent's large army.

Although there was no intention to attack here, the pressure on Ma Teng and Han Sui suddenly increased a lot. Ma Chao and Yan Xing each led their troops to fight. At first, Yang Ding even had a fight with Ma Chao, and then

They were almost defeated. From then on, when they saw the enemy's troops approaching, they quickly fled away and did not confront the Qiang army head-on.

Although there was a small victory, it did not bring any substantial changes to the coalition forces. After the heavy snow, the weather became colder and colder. Every day, the Qiang army fell behind or simply fell to the ground and never got up again. The 30,000-strong army was defeated by 3,000.

People were chasing each other, and the atmosphere in the army became more and more depressing day by day. Many deserters appeared every day. At first, Ma Teng and Han Sui would take care of it, but later, they couldn't take care of it at all. Looking at Longxi

As they approached, Ma Teng and Han Sui were not happy at all. Liang Xing and Yang Ding kept cruising around, but Chen Mo's main force never showed up. So Chen Mo shouldn't let them go so easily, right?

The uneasiness in my heart reached a certain point when I arrived in Longxi. I saw Xiangwu City right in front of me, but the flag originally representing Ma Teng at the top of the city did not appear. There were only a few soldiers patrolling the empty city top.

There was an intention to bypass Xiangwu and continue westward, but the army officers seemed to have reached their limit. Many people rushed directly to Xiangwu without receiving orders, running all the way, and there were pursuers in the rear, constantly suppressing them.

The nerves of these soldiers, both physically and mentally, have reached their limit. When they saw Xiangwu City, many people rushed over like crazy. Now, unlike others, they just wanted to have a good sleep in the city.

Have a full meal.

"Quickly, stop them!" Ma Teng frowned and looked at the Qiang troops who were desperately rushing towards the city, and shouted angrily.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Just when a large number of Qiang troops were about to arrive at Xiangwu, the closed city gate showed no intention of opening. However, a large number of soldiers poured out of the city, followed closely by a

A cluster of arrows fell from the top of the city, like a basin of ice water in winter, completely extinguishing any enthusiasm and hope that the soldiers had just raised.

On the top of the city, Xun You directed his soldiers to fire arrows continuously. At the same time, he watched the enemy formation and ordered his men to raise smoke on the top of the city.

Some of the Qiang soldiers under the city simply sat on the ground, allowing arrows to be fired at them without moving an inch. The feeling of exhaustion was greater than the fear of death, but more soldiers still rolled and crawled back.

go.

At this moment, the war drums at the top of the city were beaten, and the originally closed city gate suddenly opened. Taishi Ci, wearing two armors and carrying a half-moon halberd, rode out first, followed by two thousand people who had been waiting for him.

The soldiers who issued the order followed closely behind.

Taishi Ci took the lead. The halberd in his hand brought out a cold light, taking away the lives of the Qiang soldiers along the way. He led his men and horses directly into the enemy's formation. The fragile formation of more than 20,000 people even surprised Taishi Ci.

, with just one hard charge, the enemy army was divided.

Without thinking so much, Taishi Ci killed a Qiang general with a halberd and shouted loudly: "Taishici of Donglai is here. If the rebels don't surrender now, when will we wait!?"

"Taishici, don't be arrogant! I'm here to tease you!" Ma Chao saw Taishi Ci again, his eyes were a little red, he snorted angrily, and led a group of Qiang soldiers to greet Taishi Ci.

"Meng Qi, don't be reckless!" Ma Teng was shocked when he saw this. This was not the time for fighting. Unfortunately, the scene was a bit chaotic and the two of them were far apart, so Ma Chao didn't hear it.

On the other side, Taishi Ci laughed when he saw Ma Chao approaching: "My defeated general, An Dare to speak out bravely!?"

While he was talking, he had already led his men and horses to kill him.

On one side, they were recharging their strength, while on the other side, they were running around for days. With many people and horses exhausted, it was just a charge. The originally quite elite soldiers behind Ma Chao were easily defeated by Taishi Ci. Ma Chao was even pulled apart by Taishi Ci with a halberd on his back.

The gap is open, and blood flows.

After defeating Ma Chao's soldiers and horses, Taishi Ci did not fight with Ma Chao. Instead, he led his men and horses directly towards the central army. Wherever he passed, the Qiang army fled in confusion without any intention to fight.

"Withdraw!" Han Sui saw that Ma Teng's side was being disrupted and did not help. Instead, he turned around and left with his troops.

"Where can the thieves escape!?" Before they had gone too far, a group of people suddenly came out of the diagonal stab. There were not many people, about a thousand people, but each one was extremely brave. They directly cut off Han Sui's soldiers in the middle, and the Qiang people

Although there are many people, they are almost unable to fight back in front of this group of people.

This group of troops was Gao Shun. Under Chen Mo's arrangement, he took a detour to Longxi to rest and recuperate. As soon as Taishi Ci gave a signal, he immediately attacked and defeated the enemy.

"Let's go!" Han Sui didn't hesitate for a moment. He abandoned his troops and took only Yan Xing, Li Kan and other generals and personal guards with him, then turned around and fled.

On the other side, after Liang Xing and Yang Ding saw the smoke rising here, they changed their timidity and rushed over with their own soldiers and horses. Seeing that the situation had become a mess, without saying a word, they led their troops towards

Ma Teng and Shuai Qi killed him.

The Qiang army, which was already in chaos, became even more chaotic as this group of troops came out.

Ma Chao killed several Guanzhong troops in the rebellion, but more and more Guanzhong troops were surrounding him. Seeing that the defeat of the Qiang army was a foregone conclusion, Ma Chao led his remaining guards to Ma Teng and escorted him with Ma Dai.

Ma Teng rushed out of the army formation, just like Han Sui, leaving the Qiang troops behind and marched away.

The battle became more intense, but the defeat of the Qiang army was faster. Within an hour, the Qiang army was completely defeated and began to flee in panic. Taishi Ci and Gao Shun joined forces with Liang Xing and Yang Ding, and attacked from all sides, chasing and killing nearly 100 people.
