Chapter 272 (1/2)

Although Ma Teng was shocked by Huang Zhongyi's rebellion from Hu, he didn't care.

At that time, he was a military commander under Geng Bi, the former governor of Liangzhou. At that time, most of the soldiers in Liangzhou were new recruits, and their combat effectiveness was weak due to lack of training. But now, the 8000 elite soldiers under his command are powerful and powerful. Is it not easy to get rid of a little Huang Zhongyi from Hu?

Zhou Mu is in charge of Yongzhou and capturing Chang'an. It is a critical time for Zhou Mu to be distracted.

”Xiaowei, the city of Hefan will soon be ahead.” After joining the army, Cheng Gongying rode his horse to catch up with Ma Teng Dao.

Ma Teng nodded: ”and go to Hefan city for a little rest, fill the grain and grass, after a rest, and then go to Deshun city.”

”Here it is.”

Eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers heard that they would be able to rest when they heard of Hefan city. Their morale, which was slightly lowered due to their rapid march, recovered. They immediately accelerated their march toward Hefan city.

”Report, less than 20 Li ahead, there is an unknown number of enemy troops.” A scouts galloped back and reported to Ma Teng.

”Keep going.” Ma Teng nodded, but did not stop. Instead, he ordered eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers to speed up their march. Since the enemy is so short-sighted, he simply smashed the enemy at one go and then took a rest.

Eight thousand soldiers of Liangzhou galloped forward, and from afar a horse came forward. The distance between the two armies became closer and closer, and only a few hundred steps were left between them.

Ma Teng held a gun in his hand and yelled: ”stop!”

The slightly noisy footsteps and the sound of horse's hooves suddenly became quiet. Eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers were indeed well-trained and elite. When they were ordered to do so, they stopped marching immediately when they heard Ma Teng's order.

”Line up.”

Eight thousand soldiers suddenly stopped, and then approached each other to form a dense formation.

Ma Teng's rich military experience showed him that there were only four or five thousand horses on the opposite side, which was not a worry.

”Swords, shields, spears, bows, crossbows, cavalry!”

The eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers followed their orders. The swordsmen in the front row skillfully raised the big shield and connected them to form a solid shield wall. The spearmen in the back row put a long spear over the shield. The bowmen in the back row raised their bows and arrows and pointed at the sky. The three thousand cavalry in the back row stood still. They were divided into two parts, one on the left and the other on standby.

The four or five thousand horsemen on the opposite side saw Ma Teng Jun in the distance. Under the leadership of a Hu general, they clapped their horses and danced with swords and rushed over.

With the horse galloping, Hu Qi entered the range, Ma Teng waved his arm without hesitation.

”When the enemy reaches 150 paces, the crossbow hand will shoot!”

Collapse!

More than a thousand arrows were ready to go. As the bowstring vibrated, they immediately took off their hands and crossed an arc in the air, and then they went down towards the cover of the horse.

The general murmured and didn't know what to shout. The five thousand horsemen in charge immediately raised their arms. Those who were proficient in riding and shooting were able to shield the falling arrows with a round leather shield.
