Chapter 92 If you don’t surrender now, when will you surrender?
“Damn it!”
After a long battle, both Dong Min and Ma Teng seemed a little impatient.
"Report~~~"
In the morning light , a scout came up to Ma Teng and shouted, "General, Zhang Ji's troops have broken through the Baqiao blockade and are heading to the battlefield."
"Liang Xing is incompetent!" Ma Teng was furious.
Ten thousand soldiers couldn't even defend a bridge. How pathetic.
This also indirectly reflects the strength of the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards are composed of the most elite soldiers among the 200,000 surrendered soldiers, are equipped with the most powerful team of generals, and have also updated a round of weapons and equipment.
How can the fighting power not be strong?
Before Ma Teng could catch his breath, another scout came from the south.
"Report~~~"
"Report to the general, General Pang De was killed by Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao's troops are rushing to the battlefield."
In history, Pang De was also a fierce man, not necessarily weaker than Zhang Liao. However, Zhang Liao had always been by Qin Mo's side, teaching him martial arts and supplying him with monster meat, so his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
How can Pound compare to him?
“…”
At this point , Ma Teng couldn't even utter a harsh word, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Zhang Heng: "General, what should we do now?"
Yang Qiu: "General, how about we retreat? Let's not fight anymore."
After a setback in the attack overnight, morale was already low, and with the continuous bad news, the generals no longer had the initial high spirits and began to retreat.
Ma Teng's face was gloomy.
It is easy to withdraw troops now, but what happens after the withdrawal?
Once Chang'an fell and Dong Min was defeated, he would be the next target of the imperial court.
Where to retreat to then?
We can't hide in the desert, or the soldiers will mutiny.
After a long while, Ma Teng finally made up his mind and said through gritted teeth: "Organize a death squad and make sure to capture the city gate before the enemy reinforcements arrive, enter the city, and join Dong Min's army."
This was the best solution he could think of.
"promise!"
Ma Teng's prestige was still very high, and the generals and soldiers responded loudly, and their morale was slightly boosted.
As long as you have a goal.
Although entering the city is not as good as retreating directly, it is also a good option.
…
On the city wall of Chang'an, Xu Rong was always paying attention to the enemy's movements.
"General, Ma Teng's army is like crazy, attacking the city gate at all costs. Do we still need to hold on?" Deputy General Xue Kui looked solemn.
"Defend. Even if all our troops are wiped out, we must defend the city gate." Xu Rong's face was firm.
The more anxious the enemy is, the more it proves that his strategy is correct.
Giving up the city gate at this time would mean all previous efforts would be wasted.
Xu Rong thought further. Once Ma Teng's army entered the city, there would be 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Chang'an. What price would the imperial army have to pay to capture such a city?
When he thought of this, Xu Rong had to be hard-hearted.
"I obey your orders!"
Xue Kui seemed to have thought of something as well. With a tragic look on his face, he turned around and went downstairs.
He was ready to go into battle himself.
Xu Rong's face twitched, but he said nothing in the end. He looked up into the distance.
Seems to be expecting something.
Since the war began, there is a troop that is still outside the battlefield.
This is not normal.
In Xu Rong's opinion, since the Grand Tutor dared to gamble like this, he would definitely put all his cards on the line. There was no reason to leave such an ace army unused.
"When will he come?" Xu Rong murmured to himself.
…
Coincidentally, Ma Teng outside the city was also thinking about that army, and asked the stranger Li Xiao: " Are you sure that the Youyun Iron Cavalry is still in Tongguan?"
In this battle, Ma Teng did not take the Youyun Cavalry into account.
"I'm sure." Li Xiao seemed very confident, "At least before yesterday evening, this cavalry did not leave Tongguan." If this was not the case, he would not have encouraged Ma Teng to advance.
"That's good!" Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on this calculation, even if the Youyun Cavalry left Tongguan last night, it would not be possible for them to travel more than 120 kilometers in one night.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Boom…Boom…Boom…
Ma Teng's face suddenly changed. He looked up and saw a huge black flag slowly appearing in the morning light on the eastern suburbs skyline. It had the word "Qin" written on it, looking very majestic.
Then, a black line emerged from the sky.
The black line grew thicker and closer, and in an instant it turned into a black wave, surging, rushing, whistling, and silent, rushing towards the battlefield with an awe-inspiring momentum and determination.
The aura that swallows the sky.
Spears stood in rows and sabers shone in the morning light.
Thousands of horses roared at the same time.
Under the rhythmic movement of the cavalry, the morning light behind them seemed to dance along with it.
Shocking.
"Didn't you say that the Youyun Iron Cavalry is still in Tongguan?" Ma Teng was furious and was about to kill Li Xiao.
"No... That's impossible."
Li Xiao also seemed incredulous, and had lost all of his previous demeanor.
On the top of the city wall, Xu Rong cried with joy.
Here it comes...
Reinforcements are coming...
The black ghost he had been waiting for, the Youyun Iron Cavalry that made the world shudder with fear, finally arrived...
The army on the city wall couldn't help but cheer in advance.
Some people hugged each other, some hit their shields hard, and some used bows and arrows to vent their emotions. Everyone had a feeling of surviving a disaster.
very nice!
The rumbling sound of horse hooves was like the horn of war or the ringing of funeral bells, striking in the hearts of Ma Teng's army one after another, making them tremble.
With morale low, Ma Teng's army, which had finally mustered up the courage, instantly breathed its last breath.
No more will to fight!
On the contrary, the city guards who were still holding out near the city gate were full of fighting spirit. Every soldier held his head high with a firm and ardent gaze.
After a night of fierce fighting, they held their positions and waited for reinforcements, living up to the glorious flag of the City Guard.
And I did not disappoint the expectations of the Grand Tutor!
"Come on, grandpa is here!" Xue Kui was covered in blood, but he was still very arrogant.
No one.
No soldier was willing to attack anymore. They all subconsciously took a half step back with panicked looks.
"General, let's retreat!" Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu and others said in trembling voices.
It is better to retreat at this time and escape as many as possible than to be surrounded by the enemy.
As soon as the words fell.
A beam of black light came from far away and approached in an instant. With a whoosh, it pierced through the heads of Zhang Heng and Yang Qiu, leaving a bloody hole.
Plop!
The two men fell off their horses and were dead.
“It’s a magic weapon!”
"The Immortal, the Immortal has taken action again!"
"It's Qin Mo!"
"Please spare my life, Immortal!"
The crowd was in an uproar, unable to suppress their fear, as all kinds of rumors about Qin Mo came to their minds.
Huh~~~
Yan Yun Zui did not start a massacre. After dealing with Zhang Heng and Yang Qiu, he slowly stopped in front of Ma Teng.
Like an invisible deterrent.
Then, in the distant sky, surrounded , Qin Mo's calm and magnetic voice came: "Ma Teng, if you don't surrender now, when will you surrender?"
Ma Teng looked dejected.
He was terrified, and had a moment of anger, but it all turned into a silent sigh in the end. With a bitter heart, he ordered: "All troops stop attacking and stay where you are!"
Surrender!
With a loud noise, Ma Teng's army near the city gate was the first to lay down their weapons and surrender.
Fear of being killed by mistake.
"Let's go down the city!" Xu Rong shook off his previous dejection and looked excited.
The soldiers rushed down.
Inside the city, Dong Min's army was still trying to attack and was puzzled. But soon, rumors spread in and could not be stopped.
"Ma Teng's army was badly defeated!"
"The Youyun Iron Cavalry is coming!"
"Zhang Heng and Yang Qiu were killed by the immortal!"
"Ma Teng surrendered!"
…
When Dong Min received the report, he immediately beheaded several rumormongers and shouted angrily: "If you dare to spread rumors again, you will be killed without mercy." Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was panicking inside.
The originally noisy outside the city suddenly became quiet.
So weird...
And the rhythmic sound of horse hooves seemed to confirm something.
Until Xu Rong stepped out from the crowd and shouted to Dong Min's army: "Master Taifu has personally led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to reinforce, Ma Teng has led his troops to surrender, do you still want to resist stubbornly?"
“Nonsense!”
Dong Min shouted, "All soldiers, fight to the death."
"Well……"
Just as he finished speaking, Dong Min was stabbed from the back. Blood gushed out. He slowly turned his head, but it was his deputy general with an expressionless face.
"General, if you want to die, don't drag me along to be buried with you." The deputy general's voice was cold.
Dong Min's heart became even colder...
