Chapter 215 It’s hard to speak

At the same time as the military order was issued, Wu Fan was already the first to leap on his horse and thrust his halberd, leading five thousand cavalrymen toward Luoyang City.

Lu Lingqi led another five thousand cavalrymen, and after a while, she also ran towards Luoyang.

The 30,000 cavalry troops led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Li Zhan waited for Wu Fan to control the North City Gate in the rear and then led the team to go.

But at this time, at the northern city gate of Luoyang, tens of thousands of troops stationed by Ma Teng hid in the homes of nearby residents at night and led the streets and alleys. Looking from the north city gate to the central street, there were only a few soldiers running to put out the fire on the street under the fire. They seemed to be completely unprepared, but in fact, the shadows were densely filled with ambush.

Han Sui's eight cavalry under the banner were previously under Wu Fan's instruction, and on the grounds of putting out fires, he led 30,000 soldiers into the city as soon as the north city gate was opened. On the way, he was naturally blocked by Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others, but Cheng Yi and others were determined to take this opportunity to enter the city, so they were willing to leave the city easily. The two sides were in a stalemate at the north city gate for a long time. Later, until Ma Teng ordered the release, Cheng Yi and others led their teams into the city.

The reason why Ma Teng let Cheng Yi and others go is certainly not that he wants Cheng Yi and others to join the ambush team. In fact, even if he tells the truth now, it may not be explained clearly in a few words, because Cheng Yi and others are now convinced of Wu Fan’s previous explanation and believe that Ma Teng can only deceive them.

The reason for letting them go was that they were worried that these people would block the city gate and affect their next plan to ambush Wu Fan. So Cheng Yi and others successfully entered the city and made a move to run towards the fire in the city. In fact, they secretly sent a sentry to the North City Gate: Once the North City Gate changes, they will come back and announce it immediately.

On the other hand, the 15,000 heavy infantry and crossbowmen led by Zhou Tai, Wen Pin and Zhang Ren have also arrived quickly under the southern city wall with the increase in acceleration skills.

Ma Teng believed that he had never missed this trick of bitter meat and ambush. Li Ru, the only intelligent under the tent, was imprisoned again. Without anyone to advise, Ma Teng focused all his attention on the north of Luoyang City and Wu Fan's military camp, but ignored the south of the city. Unexpectedly, Wu Fan would send an army around the south of the city.

So, the 15,000 heavy infantry and crossbowmen led by Zhou Tai and the other two did not take much effort. They easily climbed the empty southern city wall, then followed the steps and went straight to the main palace of the palace and killed them.

The reason why the south wall was so empty was naturally because Ma Teng transferred all the troops stationed in the city to the north gate. Furthermore, it is necessary to make clear that in order not to make Wu Fan suspicious, Ma Teng did not transfer all the troops into the city, but left two-thirds of the troops in the military camp outside the city, and there were less than 40,000 troops transferred to the city. However, the less than 40,000 troops in the city were all the elite forces of Ma Teng's army, all of which were transferred once, and the troops had experience between 300 and 350.

This is all about the relevant information. Wu Fan only said that he had led 5,000 Xun cavalry to fight with the ambush at the North City Gate.

When he just arrived at the northern city gate, the former captain who claimed to be Han Sui's army guarded the city gate with hundreds of powerful soldiers. After seeing Wu Fan, he pretended to be happy to welcome Wu Fan into the city. When Wu Fan led his team to enter the city, suddenly the torches ignited at the same time. The dense ambush soldiers came from Wu Fan's army like an ant colony.

Behind him, the five thousand Xun cavalry led by Lu Lingqi happened to arrive, and immediately occupied the city gate and personally led a part of Xun cavalry to pick up Wu Fan. At the same time, the lieutenant who opened the city gate and hundreds of soldiers moved closer to Wu Fan. It seemed to be in order to protect Wu Fan, but in fact, he wanted to take advantage of Wu Fan's unpreparedness in the chaos and suddenly attacked him.

However, it was precisely because these hundreds of soldiers surrounded Wu Fan and ordered the enemy to not shoot arrows. Otherwise, as for Wu Fan’s thousands of fast cavalrymen, it would be really not optimistic under the arrows.

Wu Fan knew very well the importance of these hundreds of "Han Sui soldiers" in his army. Therefore, although he knew he was ambushed, he pretended to be confused and had no doubts about these hundreds of soldiers. Seeing that these people had come to him, Wu Fan said loudly:

"The enemy is very strong, please be careful to protect yourself."

After saying that, he had already risen up from his horse and directly used the skill of splitting the air blade; under the night sky, the white light flashed by the dragon and the egg was like a silver plate, and it rolled rapidly from the dense enemy's heads. Wherever he passed, the enemy's heads were divided into two halves.

At present, Wu Fan's proficiency in the air-breaking blade skill has reached 73299999, and his lethality, speed of collection and release, and forward distance have been greatly improved compared to before.

I saw Wu Fan, who had transformed into a silver plate, rolled out more than 300 meters from the enemy's head. During this period, he drew several arcs and finally landed in a group of heavy infantry. Seeing this, the surrounding heavy infantry was about to pounce on him, Wu Fan had already completed the closing in the air and directly swept the Thousand Army after landing. Since the current experience value of swept the Thousand Army has reached more than 7,000, and all attributes have also been greatly improved compared to before. When the last shock wave spread, the range reached the surrounding radius of ten meters and countless heavy infantry were flying about 14 or 5 meters high, and violent flames were lit all over his body, because Wu Fan had already worn the flames on his body in advance.

After three rounds of this, Wu Fan alone had already killed more than 700 enemies.

At this time, the 10,000 Qiang cavalry led by Ma Teng himself finally found Wu Fan. Ma Teng, who knew Wu Fan's unstoppable courage, hid in the concentrated army and then ordered the entire army: a gun attack

Assault is the most lethal tactic of the Middle-earth cavalry. However, gun attack is the special tactic of the Qiang cavalry. It is manifested in that the spear in the hands of each Qiang cavalry emits a red gun, which can double the effective killing length of the spear. The original two-meter-long gun killing distance instantly becomes six meters and has the flexibility of a two-meter-long gun.

In this way, thousands of Qiang cavalry launched a gun attack at the same time, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful it is.

If the infantry or cavalry strikes, the opponent will be defeated before the Qiang cavalry can be defeated. Even the crossbow soldiers will be unable to compete with the abnormality of the gun attack.

However, if you face a single general, the real power of this gun attack cannot be perfectly displayed. What's more, it is facing Wu Fan, a demon-level existence.

But Wu Fan had already picked his bow and pulled the arrows when the spear in the Qiang cavalry had just fired a red spear. The arrows gathered a blue energy and aimed at these aliens. The next moment, ten thousand Qiang cavalry suddenly burst out with a roar, and the war horses rumbled on the ground, running towards Wu Fan radially.

However, Wu Fan was not in a hurry to shoot the arrow, but was still condensing his energy on the arrow, causing the arrow to change from blue to dark blue, and then to black blue; the surrounding space had been distorted under the naked eye.

It was not until the front row of Qiang cavalry had rushed to the front and the red spear was about to stab Wu Fan's body that Wu Fan finally let go of the bowstring.

In an instant, the arrow was carrying twisted space force, and the arrow body was filled with purple air waves, forcing the surrounding air, reaching the ground nearly ten meters around the arrow, and was even more than one meter deep in the ravines. Wherever they passed, everything turned into powder.

——Special attributes of the Yangji bow: Increase the power of the bow-type martial arts three times

Wherever the purple air passes, it is like heavy fog, making it difficult to see the situation inside, and only blood is shining densely. When the purple air dissipates, all the Qiang cavalry that were originally in the purple air stopped in their original place. After a while, sword wounds began to flash around their bodies, one, two, three... until they are as dense as pearl nets.

As the arrow exploded more than a thousand meters away, these Qiang cavalry, wounded all over the body, instantly decomposed from the wound, turning into pieces on the ground, each piece of fragments, as big as tofu, not too much or too many.

——Random attributes of the Demonic Arrow: Kill

Because the Yangyouji Bow was triggered to increase its power by three times, with just one arrow, Wu Fan killed more than 4,000 enemies to 5,000 enemies in total.

"My husband is truly unparalleled in the world"

Behind him, Lu Lingqi's voice came, but her five thousand speed cavalry did not follow her. The reason was not that Lu Lingqi's five thousand speed cavalry had been wiped out, but that Lu Lingqi saw that the enemy was too dense and she could not advance, so she ordered all the five thousand speed cavalry to return to the North City Gate to defend the dead, waiting for Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Li Zhan's troops to arrive. She rushed into the chaos alone, looking for Wu Fan.

But this is just right. Although the Qiang cavalry was shot to death by Wu Fan with an arrow, the remaining 5,000 people had already launched a gun attack. If Lu Ling's cavalry came with Xun Cavalry, she would be afraid that one of the ten Xun Cavalry under her would be missing.

After that, Cheng Yi and the eight cavalrymen of the flag-born had led 30,000 horse and infantry to counterattack. The 30,000 cavalry units led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Li Zhan also entered the city through the north gate of the city. Zhou Tai, Wen Pin and Li Zhan led more than 10,000 soldiers to attack the palace prefect's mansion.

Under the influence of these three fronts, even though the Ma Teng army in the city was elite and Qiang cavalry helped, his morale was so great that he could not turn against Ma Teng in this ambush battle, he did not directly turn against Ma Teng because he was ashamed of this ambush, but he brought more than 5,000 heavy cavalry under him elsewhere and escaped from this battle, making Ma Teng's ambush, which was not many, even more so.

At this time, Ma Teng, who was in the chaos army, was carrying several arrows and rushed left and right, and could not return to the city at all. There were only a few hundred Qiang cavalry left under his command. If he delayed like this, it would be impossible to escape from the city. Ma Dai happened to lead the heavy cavalry in his headquarters to arrive here. Seeing that Ma Teng was still planning to rush back to the city, Ma Dai hurriedly stopped:

"Uncle, Luoyang City has been attacked by Wu Fan's army, and Han Sui's eight cavalry rebels and helps him in disguise. Uncle should not try to retake it again, and escape from the city with his nephew."

When Ma Teng heard that Han Sui's subordinates were rebelling, he was shocked at first. Then he shook his head and said:

"I went back at this time not to take back Luoyang, but to Meng Qi."

Because one of Ma Chao was removed by Wu Fan, he had been seriously injured during this period. After returning to Luoyang, he had been resting in the mansion. The reason why Ma Teng wanted to rush back to the city was actually to rescue Ma Chao.

Ma Dai thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry, uncle. My cousin has been through the battle formation for a long time, and although he is seriously injured, he will definitely not be injured by the chaos army. It is hopeless to return to the city at this time. If he continues, he will die in vain. Uncle should follow Dai'er to rush out of the city."

After such persuasion, Ma Teng finally gave up the idea of ​​returning to the city, and led his army to the Luoyang City with Ma Dai, gathered with Ma Teng's army outside the city, and fled towards Chang'an.

As for Ma Chao, as Ma Dai said, he was not injured in the chaos. Under the protection of his guards, taking advantage of the night, he was in chaos, and more than a dozen people from Ma Chao's team fled straight towards the relatively quiet South City Gate.

On the way, passing by the gate of the prison, Yang Qiu and others were about to release Han Sui from the prison. Ma Chao had only known that Han Sui was sent to the prison by his father Ma Teng, but he didn't know that this was Ma Teng's bitter plan, Ma Chao was seriously injured and could not lead troops to ambush him. Ma Teng did not tell him this plan; at this time, seeing that Han Sui was released by his subordinates, Ma Chao thought that Han Sui's subordinates secretly colluded with Wu Fan to take advantage of the chaos to rob the prison, so he shouted and took Han Sui directly.

As mentioned earlier, Ma Chao was almost killed by Wu Fan, and suffered from sequelae and became reckless. At this time, when his troops were small and the situation was extremely unfavorable to his army, he still took the initiative to appear in secret to attack Han Sui, which is the best interpretation of his recklessness.

Originally, when Yang Qiu and others went to prison to rescue him, Han Sui had already told Yang Qiu in detail about Ma Teng's ambush plan. Yang Qiu and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. However, Han Sui asked them to escape from the city with him while he was in trouble, return to Chang'an, and take the initiative to apologize to Ma Teng.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have brotherly feelings, so this idea is naturally understandable. However, Yang Qiu and others are different. They follow Han Suihun. They don’t care about Ma Teng, so they naturally don’t want to go back and ask Ma for any crime.

If Ma Teng refused to forgive, they would definitely lose their heads. They had no feelings for Ma Teng, and their lives were not guaranteed, so Yang Qiu and others did not agree with Han Sui's proposal to escape from the city and then take the initiative to apologize. It was just because Han Sui was their leader, so it was hard to refute it bluntly.

At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly appeared in front of everyone. After shouting, Ma Chao waved his sword with one arm and slashed straight towards Han Sui.

Han Sui dodged in surprise and asked anxiously:

"Why did my nephew hurt me?"

Ma Chao was filled with his chest with anger at this time, so he didn't have the time to explain it carefully to him, and he just said regretfully:

"Do I just hurt you? I wish I could swallow you alive?"

The two of them came here and I hid for several rounds. During this period, Yang Qiu and others stood aside and watched the scene, then looked at each other and nodded understandingly. After that, Han Sui once hid a little late after Ma Chao broke his sword and was stabbed to his shoulder by Ma Chao. Yang Qiu and others immediately rushed over and called Ma Chao to the weapons in their hands together.

I have been talking about "Yang Qiu and others". Some friends may have questions. Didn't I say "Cheng Yi and others" to express the Eight Cavalry of the Flagship? Why has it changed to "representative" now and become Yang Qiu and others?

The reason for this is that Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and Liang Xing led some soldiers to be with Wu Fan’s army. The remaining Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng came here to rescue Han Sui, so they called these people "Yang Qiu and others".

I would like to explain this separately, just to let everyone understand it, and there is no mystery hidden in it.

Looking back, Yang Qiu and others waved their weapons to greet Ma Chao. Although Ma Chao was removed from his arm and was seriously injured, his military value was as low as only 65 points. However, a large part of the reason why Ma Chao's military value dropped sharply was that he lost an arm, but his speed and agility did not reduce much. It was just that his injury was affected, and there would be severe pain during intense activities, so it was slightly reduced.

Therefore, although the five people's weapons were greeted to the deadly place, they did not take Ma Chao's life. They only made Ma Chao stagger back and suffered many injuries and blood flowed. Seeing this, Yang Qiu and others were about to step forward to attack Ma Chao again, but Han Sui hurriedly stopped him.

At the time when Yang Qiu and others were stopped by Han Sui, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said to everyone, "You are a common man, I swear to kill you." Then, with the help of the guards, he ran away.

Han Sui was really speechless now. He wanted to blame Yang Qiu and others for not taking action, but then he thought that they were just trying to save themselves and were not at fault. He wanted to explain to Ma Chao again, but Ma Chao couldn't listen at all. He was already running under the night sky.

When there was no choice but to sigh repeatedly. Yang Qiu and the few people around him looked at each other, stepped forward and said to Han Sui:

"Governor, now that things have come to this point, it is irreversible. Governor should make plans early."

Han Sui said silently:

"What else do you have to plan? Of course, I will escape from the city and return to Chang'an. I and you and I apologize to Shouchang together."

Li Kan muttered:

"Master Governor and Ma Teng have become sworn brothers, so Ma Teng will definitely not harm the Master Governor. But if I suffer a few more, I will definitely lose my head at that time."

When Li Kan said this, the few of them looked dejected. Han Sui thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth. The Ma family and son were in a strong relationship. The strategy of ambushing Wu Fan was not only failed, but also lost Luoyang. If the eight cavalry under him went to apologize, it would be difficult to save their lives. Now, with the injury to Ma Chao, they would definitely be unable to escape after returning.

Cheng Yin took a step forward at this time, actually knelt in front of Han Sui, lowered his head, raised his sword in his hand and said:

"If the Governor insists on asking us to go back, please cut off our heads and take them back. In this way, Ma Teng will reward the Governor with a generous reward. We have been with the Governor for many years, but we have no great achievements. Now if we can exchange the Governor for wealth and glory with the head of Xiang, we will be at ease if we know in the spring."
