Chapter Thirty-Six: Bloody Battle Round One

This time, the army that came to seek revenge from the Shidu Kingdom was really not just a mob. The general leading the army was named Haripali, who was the number one general in the Shidu Kingdom.

Haripali used his actions to explain what it means to be overwhelming. Under his advice, the four emperors of the Shidu Kingdom sent him 30,000 cavalry, 80,000 infantry, and 200,000 slaves.

A total of more than 300,000 people came to kill Luntai City. However, according to Haripali's plan, they were to prepare for the invasion when the ice and snow melted at the turn of spring and summer. However, the Shidu Kingdom, from the emperor to the slaves, could not bear it and thought that they would be defeated by Liang.

It would be a great shame to be driven out of the Western Regions.

Halipali had no choice but to send troops across Congling in September, reorganize and train along the way, select 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry as the vanguard, and personally lead the team to Luntai to start the first round of attack to find out the strength of Liang's army.

The first round of attack was hit by the arrows of the Liang Army in Beacon Fire Fort and could not effectively attack the city. Harry Parli had to retreat temporarily and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

The morale of Liang Jun who was guarding Luntai was greatly boosted after repelling the vanguard force of the Shidu Kingdom. Ma Hua excitedly told Zuo Sanxiang, "Even if there are millions of enemy troops, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

The rest of the people also said that even if the opponent had more than 100,000 people, they could still hold on to Luntai, but Zuo Sanxiang looked solemn, "This is just a test attack by the enemy. This time the enemy took the initiative to retreat, and did not lose many troops. Not even a hundred people were lost."

The captain was not killed by us! It can be seen that the enemy camp has capable people leading the troops! I'm afraid they will come to surround us next, and this is the most difficult moment!"

Liu Jingchuan looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to snow next. Each camp must reserve water, food, firewood, and sheepskin coats. Whoever can withstand this winter first will win!"

Everyone wrapped up their clothes subconsciously, "It's going to change today. We are in the city anyway, and that Shitou is in the wild, afraid he will freeze to death!"

"Don't underestimate the poisonous people, they won't fight unprepared!"

"They are all grown on meat, we still don't believe they can withstand the cold better than us!"

Zuo Sanxiang looked at everyone and felt that they were all underestimating the enemy, so he thought: "In this case, which commander dares to lead his troops to find out where the Shitou people are setting up their stronghold?"

He said he was not forgiving, but when it came to attacking the enemy's formation and spying on the enemy's camp, only Fu Dingyuan and Ma Hua were left.

The MCA was the first to shout, "If I, the MCA, don't charge, how can I let others do it? Commander Zuo, leave it to me to attack the enemy's formation and explore the enemy camp!"

Fu Dingyuan did not hesitate to give in. "I am a local, and this matter belongs to me. If there is a sudden heavy snowfall or other situations, I can handle it! Don't argue with me this time, MCA!"

"You kid, you really want to fight with me, right? Then let's compete and see who is better, then we will fight!" Ma Hua rolled up his sleeves and started to fight.

Liu Jingchuan quickly dissuaded him, "Both generals are very skilled. Don't hurt your kindness. There are opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds!"

Zuo Sanxiang smiled, "Hey, Mr. Liu, don't persuade me, let the two of them compete to see who is more powerful, and let everyone see it!"

"Commander Zuo, this is what you said. If I hurt brother Dingyuan, don't blame me!"

"Commander Zuo, if I defeat Commander Ma, the attack on the enemy camp will be left to me!"

The third person on the left saw that the two men were about to pick up weapons. "You are not allowed to use weapons. You can only compete with fists and feet. If you fall to the ground, you will lose. Just click on it! Well, you are not allowed to take off the armor. You must put on the armor to compete!"

This competition was particularly funny. Both of them wore dozens of kilograms of armor wrapped in animal skins, and they struggled with each other with all their strength. You punched me on the armor, and I punched me on the armor again.

They finally hugged each other and used brute force to fight, and they were inextricable.

When both sides were almost exhausted, they almost shouted at the same time to knock each other down, but they both fell to the ground.

Everyone laughed loudly, and Zuo Sanxiang clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, okay, you two are on par. It seems that our army is not afraid of breaking out and leaving no one! In this way, you two will take a hundred men each and set off at the same time. MCA

Attack the enemy camp first, kill the general and capture the flag, and then retreat. When MCA withdraws from the enemy camp, Fu Dingyuan will attack the enemy camp again, kill the general, capture the flag, and then return! I won't send anyone to respond, so you two can take care of yourself!"

Ma Hua winked at Fu Dingyuan, "I still win, I fight first!"

Fu Dingyuan also laughed, "The enemy who attacked first was unprepared, and the enemy who attacked later was on guard. It seems that Commander Zuo still looked at me favorably!"

Zuo Sanxiang was noncommittal, "Don't say anything more. Go back and organize the team. We will set off in the evening. I will wait for you to have dinner with you in Luntai City tomorrow morning!"

The two of them took the order and left. Ma Hua selected a hundred cavalry from his Yangwei camp, and Fu Dingyuan combined the brothers he brought from Fairy Village with the men and horses currently in Dingyuan camp to form a hundred cavalry.

Ma Hua and Fu Dingyuan walked side by side. In front of Zuo Sanxiang, they bickered and competed for credit, but when they left the house, they felt sympathetic towards each other.

"Brother Ma, these enemy camps are bound to be connected for dozens of miles and rely heavily on each other. Once they attack, they are likely to be surrounded. When the time comes, don't hesitate to fight and stop as soon as possible!"

"Brother Dingyuan, although I, Ma Hua, am a reckless person, I will know whether I am sure or not when I rush into the enemy camp and fight. If I am not sure, I will quickly retreat!"

"Brother Ma, I often heard Commander Zuo say that if you show something, you will lose it, and if you force yourself to show weakness, if you rush into the enemy camp and pretend to be defeated, then wait for the enemy to lead his army to catch up. I will come out from behind, and Brother Ma will return to the horse."

If you attack, the result will be much greater than if you and I attack separately, I wonder what your intention is?"

Ma Hua hesitated for a moment, "But Commander Zuo gave the order for you and me to attack one after another. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to change Commander Zuo's order without permission."

Fu Dingyuan smiled, "We did not disobey Commander Zuo's instructions. You, Brother Ma, attacked first, just to lure the enemy to attack, and I did attack later. You and I can accomplish our goal of killing the general and capturing the flag!"

Ma Hua slapped his head, "My brother is still smart, okay, I will follow my brother's style of play!"

When the second general led his people to the outskirts of the Shidu National Camp, they saw hundreds of campsites dotted with sparks. The firelight was most dense along the river, and the shadows of people were looking forward to it.

Fu Dingyuan pointed to the camp by the river and said softly, "It seems that the enemy also wants to block the dam and release water to flood our camp. Commander Zuo is right as he expected. The enemy commander is not an ordinary person!"

Ma Hua looked at the camp closest to them, "The guards in the outer camp seem to be very lax, and the gates are all open! Is there a scam?"

Fu Dingyuan carefully looked at the densely packed camps on the opposite side. "The ones closest to us probably have traps. Although there won't be traps by the river, it is the enemy's heartland. If you go in, you will never come back!"

Ma Hua took a breath, "Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. But Commander Zuo has given an order. You and I cannot disobey, and we will still fight!"

Fu Dingyuan looked around, "It's too late to take a detour to the enemy's camp now. As soon as the enemy sees you and I, there are only two hundred people. We will definitely not be able to break out! Although there is an ambush in the village in front of us, it is not necessarily possible.

Knowing that our army is coming to rob the camp tonight, why not just beat him and then retreat. It seems that Commander Zuo is still much better than me, so we can only follow Commander Zuo’s method of fighting!"

Ma Hua rubbed his palms and wrapped the cloth tightly around the handle of the long knife in his hand again. "Come on, I'll take the lead. If I fall into the enemy's battle, my dear brother will save me if I can. If I can't, I'll rush back and report to Commander Zuo!"

Fu Dingyuan nodded, "Brother Ma, take care, I will just act according to the situation!"

MCA looked back at his one hundred people, "It's still too late to regret now, and those who don't want to go can stay!"

"What did Brother Ma say? We are indispensable for eating wine and meat. Now we are following Brother Ma to kill people. How can we not join in! We are not cowards!"

Ma Hua raised his long sword and galloped straight towards the nearest camp. A hundred cavalrymen followed him and charged in together.

The Shitou soldiers were indeed lying in ambush near the camp. When Ma Hua arrived, dozens of Shitou soldiers were awakened in the camp.

The Shidu soldiers woke up and shouted, and immediately countless arrows rained towards the camp. Ma Hua immediately made a decisive decision and hit his horse and ran towards the direction of the arrow.

Under the attack of the rain of arrows, only about forty people were left when they reached the camp where the arrows were fired. The Shidu people also sent cavalry and infantry to meet them.

MCA regretted not dividing into several small groups to attack at the same time, so that the enemy could not figure out what was true for a while.

However, Ma Hua's charge still shocked the Shidu people, and they dared to rush forward in the face of the rain of arrows. The Shidu people's archers had to retreat to save their lives.

MCA also made up its mind to kill as many people as possible to gain another, and charged towards crowded places.

This time, the Shitou people did not collapse as usual, because they all knew that the enemy army only had a few dozen people, and it was just a matter of killing more of them to kill the enemy army.

There was still no movement from Fu Dingyuan. Ma Hua felt that he was not his brother in the camp and could not count on him, so he charged deeper into the enemy army to seek death.

Seeing that there were only about ten people left around Ma Hua, the camp by the river was in chaos, and the Shidu army abandoned Ma Hua and rushed to the river.

It turned out that Fu Ding had foreseen that MCA was trapped in a tight siege, and that if he tried to rush forward he would be wasting his life in vain. Instead, he might as well risk attacking the enemy's dam building on the river. Firstly, he might be able to rescue MCA, and secondly, he could also find out where the enemy was building the dam.

schedule.

Fu Dingyuan divided his 100 men into three teams and attacked the camp by the river. He ordered everyone to kill less and set fire more, and then withdrew after disturbing the enemy.

Ma Hua originally thought he was dead, but the Shidu people all ran towards the river and immediately evacuated with the remaining people.

Fu Dingyuan rushed to the camp by the river. What he saw was densely packed with people digging, loading and transporting earth. The embankment was being raised along the river embankment, about two feet high.

However, there were many people in the camp by the river, but most of them were slaves. When the slaves saw the enemy coming to kill them at night, they abandoned their bags of soil and fled westward.

At this time, Haripali was supervising the work by the river. The troops were afraid that the commander would make a mistake, so they swarmed to the rescue, which allowed the MCA to escape.

Fu Dingyuan did not dare to fight, and led his men to run in the direction of MCA's breakout. As soon as the two met, MCA burst into tears.

Only 12 of the 100 people he brought were left, while Fu Dingyuan still had 90 of his 100 people.

Fu Dingyuan also blamed himself, "If I had persuaded Brother Ma to join me in killing the camp by the river, I might have accomplished a great feat. The enemy commander I just visited is in the camp by the river. It's a pity to let him go."

Take it off!”

Ma Hua regretted and regretted, "You and I both acted according to the general's orders. What's more, if you hadn't made the decisive decision to attack the camp by the river, how could I have stood out? It's just that this time I lost men and horses, and I failed to kill the general and capture the flag. After returning,

, How shameless do you have to go to see Zuo Shuai!"

"Brother, don't be discouraged. We don't know whether we captured the enemy generals during this night attack. We will know when we see the enemy's movements tomorrow! Besides, the information we found is very important to our army. If we wait for them to build the city
