Chapter 20 Snowy Night Attack ()

That night, snow was falling, and the whistling north wind blew the snow on the trees, making constant sounds of banging.

In such cold weather, the camp could not make fires to keep warm. The soldiers were trembling in cold weather, hugging each other, sitting in their camp tents to keep warm, and eating cold dry food at night. Faced with such harsh conditions, the soldiers rarely complained, and they encouraged each other. This belief of persistence was insidiously instilled in the soldiers by the people.

All the soldiers are composed of the people. They have families and enjoy the taste of being respected. The previous time the troops organized various righteous acts to help the people build houses and clear roads in the city won unanimous praise from the people in the city, and inspired the soldiers. During this expedition, the scene of the people crossing the streets and farewells made the soldiers particularly satisfied. They couldn't help but make ambitions in their hearts, swearing to kill the enemy to drive out the Hu people.

Ma Chao didn't sleep all night and hadn't killed anyone for two years. I remember when he ambushed the Qiang cavalry in the village, he started to be too nervous. Later, influenced by his father Ma Teng, he shot several arrows and killed several Qiang cavalry. At the beginning, he felt particularly excited. Now he is going to the battlefield again. Ma Chao felt that his blood was boiling, and a desire to kill was spreading and growing in his heart.

At dawn, the Xiliang army horses packed up their luggage at Jiang Xu's order, and crossed Jiang Xu on the war horse, roared: "Soldiers, Longxi City is ahead. After capturing the city, I will invite everyone to eat mutton. Why do you think it's good?"

The soldiers who were straightened in the cold wind had longed to drink a bowl of hot broth. When they heard Jiang Xu's roar, they raised their weapons and echoed.

"Set out!" Jiang Xu took the lead and rushed out first.

Ma Chao held the iron spear in his hand and ran up with the galloping team. In the dark night sky, the snow was still falling, but it could not stop the warriors from making progress.

The city of Longxi City was already in sight, and the speed of the soldiers sitting down on their horses increased again at this moment. Many areas of the city, which was only more than meter high, were already broken. When they set off, Jiang Xuzao sent spies to understand the city defense situation in Longxi clearly.

Therefore, the attack point chosen is also the most broken section of the Longxi city wall. The galloping war horses can easily cross over and rush directly into the city.

"Light up the torches, kill...ah!" Jiang Xu's roar was lit, and thousands of torches were lit. Three people and one torches, three people and one square formation, and three thousand iron cavalry rushed into Longxi City under the enemy's defense.

Ma Chao only felt that his blood seemed to be burning. After rushing into the city, he led his team and rode ahead and rushed into the outpost at the city gate.

The guards inspecting the outpost paid the price of their blasphemy at this moment. They should have been standing at the top of the city, but they were sleeping soundly in the outpost until the Liangzhou army arrived at the outpost.

Before the dozens of Qiang people in the outpost could figure out what was going on, they heard the roar of their companions before their tragic death. Ma Chao emitted a strong murderous aura all over his body. The iron spear in his hand slashed horizontally and stabbed in one breath, ruthlessly ending the lives of the three Qiang people.

The soldiers who rushed in were all competing for the first time and massacred these Qiang people. In just a blink of an eye, dozens of Qiang people were massacred.

At this time, the battle at various posts in the city also started, with killings everywhere, and the neighing of war horses. After Ma Chao led his team to capture the post, he shouted: "Brothers, open the city gate."

Although the city wall was broken, tens of thousands of infantry were crowded forward, which was obviously unfavorable. Therefore, the first strategy was to capture the outpost, open the city gate, and welcome the infantry into the city.

"Ma Chao, protect the safety of Counselor Yang." Zhao Ang led the infantry and rushed in with shouts. When he saw Ma Chao at the city gate, he immediately shouted.

Obviously, Zhao Ang's move was to let Ma Chao protect people, but secretly not to let him participate in the war. Of course, the ultimate goal was to not let him take risks.

When Ma Chao heard this, although he was frustrated, he naturally said that he had to start with the soldiers and had to obey: "Abide by the order!"

After hearing his answer, Zhao Ang stopped staying, but led the infantry and the cavalry's footsteps to the camp in the city.

Yang Fu is a literati, so it is naturally not his strength to kill the enemy against him. He led five hundred crossbowmen. Under Ma Chao's guard, he had just ordered the soldiers to occupy the city gate, but he had not had time to set up defense.

A team of Qiang cavalry came out of the slanting siege and swept towards the city gate. Ma Chao saw the enemy coming, and the crossbowman had not yet taken his position. If the Qiang cavalry was allowed to come, there would be heavy casualties. Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately shouted: "Mr. Yang, close the city gate quickly and I will drag the enemy."

"...Brothers, kill!" Ma Chao came out and led his fifty cavalry to meet the Qiang cavalry.

It turned out that this team of Qiang cavalry was Yue Gudang, a Qiang general. Yue Gudang, who lived in the county government, was really surprised when he heard the official army entering the city. He knew that he was unprepared in his army and expected that the defeat had been decided and could not win. So he led his 300 personal soldiers and rushed straight to the city gate, trying to rush out of the city.

Yue Gu was the first to be a cavalry, holding a long spear. When he saw the city gate looking at it, he saw a team of official troops coming in the fire. He immediately waved his spear to fight. Yue Gu Dang, who was brave enough to take the next person seriously at all. Seeing that the two cavalry were approaching, he took the long spear and swept towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao only felt a strong murderous intent shrouded in the face, secretly calling the enemy generals great, but he was not afraid at all. He only picked up the iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Look at the gun!"

Throat seal---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ma family's past marksmanship was exerted in Ma Chao's hands.

Yue Gu saw a gun shadow appearing in front of him, and the murderous aura covered in the sky was almost breathless. When he thought he would die, he felt his whole body relaxed. Yue Gu, who thought he had escaped this disaster, couldn't help laughing.

"Haha...ah..." Yue Gu just laughed out loud, a blood arrow shot out of his throat, which made him roar, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. His hands were covering his neck desperately, and his eyes were disbelief and fell under the horse.

Ma Chao's family-born spearheading technique was as fast as lightning. The person who hit the target had no sense at all, but it was too late to realize that it was shot later.

"The surrenderers are exempt from death!" Ma Chao retracted the iron spear in his hand and roared angrily, the sound waves made the entire Longxi City clearly hear.

Seeing that their chief general was stabbed to death under the young general in just one round. In a panic, hundreds of cavalry hurriedly dismounted and surrendered, and the rest scattered.

At this time, Zhao Ang led his army to the schoolyard. Tens of thousands of Qiang, Hu and Di soldiers in the schoolyard were shocked and at a loss when they saw the official army falling from the sky in their dreams.

At this time, someone in the Di army in the camp shouted: "I'll fight."

Qiang and Hu soldiers who woke up from their dreams just picked up their weapons and faced the official army. Seeing this, Zhao Ang immediately led his army to rush forward, and ruthlessly killed the enemy soldiers.

Seeing that the official army was so fierce, the Qiang soldiers couldn't help but hesitate and took a few steps back. Seeing that tens of thousands of enemy troops were in chaos, they were crowded in the school ground and had no intention of surrendering. Zhao Ang couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that if these Hu people continued to fight like this, they would inevitably suffer major casualties even if they could defeat them in the end.

At this moment, Ma Chao's roar rang like a thunderbolt: "The surrendered ones are immune to death!"

The shouts of "Surrendered are exempt from death!" echoed throughout Longxi City. When Zhao Ang saw the enemy's fear, he immediately led the three armies to respond. Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together: "Surrendered are exempt from death!"

Faced with the morale of the official army, the Qiang and Hu soldiers in the school were frightened. I don’t know who put down their weapons first. In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu people put down their weapons in their hands. A dangerous battle disappeared instantly and invisibly.
