Chapter 24: The Divine Horse Snow Shadow

The two thousand step Jia led by Ma Chao traveled day and night, and after a few days, he arrived outside Lintao City.

This time the troops were completely light and simple, and all the supplies were not brought, and even the food was only taken for five days.

After the army set up camp in the forest thirty miles away from the city, Ma Chao led a soldier to climb the Jackdaw Mountain again and conducted reconnaissance on Lintao to ensure the safety of the troops' attack at night.

Although the weather has become clear, the aliens in the city have not changed anything, and the guards patrolling the city are still so scattered.

Seeing that there was no defense in the city, Ma Chao put down his worries and returned to the camp, he immediately ordered: "Tell all the camps to have a full meal and attack the city after night."

That night, the stars shine brightly in the night sky, the willow moon in the sky, and the earth is silent.

Ma Chao led his troops to quietly surrounded Lintao. When he was only one arrow away from the city, Ma Chao looked at the low city. When the figure of the Qiang soldiers patrolling was clearly visible, he immediately picked up the big bow, tilted the arrow and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Thousands of feathered arrows were like rain of arrows in the sky, shooting above the city. Before the guards patrolling the city could react, they were shot into arrows and screamed fiercely.

"rush!"

Ma Chao took the lead. When he rushed to the city wall, he threw the claws of climbing ropes, pulled the rope, and easily climbed the city wall. Lintao was just a small city after all. Not to mention the broken wall, the height was less than 1 meter. Such a city wall was too easy for Ma Chao, who was agile.

The good soldiers in the army followed Ma Chao, fell out the rope claws and began to climb, while the rest of the soldiers attacked the city gate.

When Ma Chao arrived at the top of the city, most of the soldiers inspecting the city had been killed by the arrow rain just now.

When the other few troops saw Ma Chao, they waved their weapons and rushed up. Ma Chao was naturally ruthless, raised his iron spear, swept and stabbed it up, and all those who blocked it were shot and killed.

Seeing Ma Chao so brave, the Qiang soldiers were so shocked that they left. Ma Chao did not chase him, but rushed to the suspension bridge, cut off the rope, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army into the city.

"Military orders, those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Ma Chao stood on the top of the city and shouted loudly. The sound shook the sky above Lintao. The echoes in the mountains echoed over the city for a long time. Tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu people in the city thought it was the gods coming, and they were frightened and anxious.

"Kill!" Two thousand soldiers shouted and rushed into the city. There were only 500 guards in the city, and more than 200 people died at the top of the city. The 300 soldiers huddled in the camp were scared when they heard the news that the official army had entered the city.

Then I heard shouts everywhere in the night. I didn’t know how many Han troops were. I didn’t resist at all and fled in all directions.

By dawn, 30,000 Qiang people, 20,000 Di people, and 3,000 Hu people in the city were all captured by the government army and escorted outside the city.

All the financial affairs of the city, including cattle, sheep and horses, were also confiscated. The seized supplies were loaded with hundreds of cars. The soldiers who were busy all night looked at the harvest in front of them, and they were full of joy.

At this moment, a neighing sound came from the herd of horses. In a blink of an eye, a snow-white war horse ran out and rushed out of the herd of horses.

Ma Chao was in front of the team and saw the horse majestic and tall, with its sound shaking the sky, and it ran like lightning. He knew it was a divine horse, so he immediately came out, grabbed a horse gauntlet, and met the white horse.

"Go!" Ma Chao drove the war horse under his seat, leaned on the horse's back, staring at the running white horse in front of him. If Ma Chao hadn't been in front of the team and just blocked the white horse, the war horse he sat down would not have been able to catch up with the white horse.

"Hey!" Ma Chao shouted loudly, his legs clamped his horse's belly, rose up, and flew out of the horse's reins in his hand.

The white horse obviously did not expect that someone would dare to provoke him. Seeing the horse gaunt coming, he suddenly stood up, raised his head and neighed with Xi Yuyu, avoiding the rope that Ma Chao had dropped.

When Ma Chao fell out of the rope, he drove the horse forward at the same time. When he saw the white horse escape, the distance between him and the white horse was only half a foot closer. Seeing this opportunity, he quickly rose up and flew to the white horse.

The white horse was very unwilling to be attacked. Now the people stood up and jumped around on the ground. They were obviously unwilling to be restrained and wanted to throw Ma Chao off the horse.

Ma Chao is not an easy person. He concentrates all his strength on his hands and feet, and a murderous aura radiates out of his whole body, covering the galloping war horse tightly. His arms are like iron lead. He hugged the white horse's neck tightly, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and let the white horse roar, but he is always as stable as a mountain.

The white horse galloped and jumped at the empty city gate, screaming and roaring for a whole hour. Finally, under the suppression of Ma Chao's powerful aura, he fell to the ground tiredly. His snow-white mane was dyed red by blood-red sweat.

The white horse lying on the ground neighed in a low voice, looked up at Ma Chao's eyes, revealing a look of fear and surrender.

Ma Chao looked at the white horse with sweaty sweat, and finally fell to the ground. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He turned over and got off the horse, raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn't help but exclaim: "A good horse, it's worthy of being a sweat-blooded BMW!"

The white horse seemed to understand Ma Chao's praise, raised his neck and whispered at Ma Chao. At first, Ma Chao thought it wanted to hit him, but he was shocked. When he saw that it did not get up, he joked and said, "So you are thanking me for your praise, right, not bad, since you are so humane, I will call you 'Snow Shadow' in the future!"

Unexpectedly, the white horse really nodded a few times, and responded in a low voice. Ma Chao didn't expect that the horse would actually understand his words. He couldn't help but come forward with joy, hugged its neck, and took care of its mane, and said, "Xueying, follow me in the future, I will treat you like a buddy."

After this hour, Ma Chao was undoubtedly harder than a big battle, but seeing the white horse tame, Ma Chao's excitement had long covered his tiredness.
