Chapter 275 (1/2)
Ma Chao, Ma Dai and his brother led dozens of private soldiers of the Ma family to the West from guzang city and stayed overnight. Now, due to the proper administration of the pastoral government of LiuYe Prefecture, the troubles of horse bandits and Qiang people in Liangzhou have been eliminated. Therefore, the two brothers have not met any Qiang people along the way.
”Elder brother, we found a kitchen pit for the army to make a fire and cook in front of us. It seems to be the kitchen pit of the army under my uncle's command.” Ma Dai drove his horse and called to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's eyes lit up: ”where is the kitchen pit? Take me to have a look.”
”Here it is.”
Ma Daixing is in front of him. Ma Chao goes with him. Soon he sees rows of cooking pits in the field. The ashes are covered by soil. It is obvious that nearly 10000 troops are cooking here.
Dozens of Ma Chao's men went all the way to Ma Teng's March. A few days later, another kitchen pit was found, but this time, the number of pits became smaller.
Ma Chao has a clear idea and says: ”it is obviously that my father fought with the Qiang people, and he was slightly injured. It seems that my father should be close at hand.”
Ma Dai nodded. Suddenly, he frowned and looked around carefully. He whispered to Ma Chao: ”brother, there seems to be a spy nearby.”
Ma Chao nodded quietly and reached out to take down an iron bow from behind.
”Roar!” All of a sudden, he gave a big drink and spread all around the wilderness. In the wilderness, a horse lying in the hollow ground was scared to stand up and exposed the horse on his back.
Hu Qi was surprised, and then realized that he had been found out. Without saying a word, he pulled his horse and fled. There were dozens of Han soldiers in this group. He was only on his own and could not make a fight with each other.
”Stay where you are, and someone can do it.” Ma Chao gave a command to Ma Dai and others. Then he drove his horse out and held the long bow tightly in his hands. A carving feather arrow was placed on the bow string and aimed at the escaped Hu Qi from a distance.
Whoosh!
The bow string was ringing, and an arrow broke through the air. When Hu Qi heard the sound of the sound behind him, he said in his heart that he was not good. He quickly lowered his upper body on the horse's back.
But unexpectedly, Ma Chao's arrow was not aimed at him at all, but at the horse in his crotch. The arrow flew out and even hit the front foot of the horse. Hu Qi stepped down from his horse and screamed sadly. His body leaped forward because of his inertia. The injured horse's hoof suddenly folded and knelt on the ground. He threw his horse out and turned several somersaults on the ground, which made him look pale.
Hu Qi's face was buried in the yellow sand. He quickly raised his head and shook the yellow sand between his head and neck. He just raised his head, and a fierce murderous force came.
A bright silver gun stuck to Hu Qi's throat, less than an inch away. Hu Qi raised his face tremblingly, only to see a young knight's face emitting a cold breath.
Ma Chao lived in Liangzhou since he was a child. His grandmother is also a Qiang nationality. Naturally, he knows the Qiang language: ”if you dare to move, you will be shot in the throat.”
That Hu Qi gently shakes his head: ”dare not, dare not, ask the general to spare my life.”
Ma Chao's archery skills are amazing. In fact, he is quite sure that he will shoot the cavalry through his throat with the arrow just now. However, Ma Chao's purpose is not to kill the hooligan, but to extract information from his mouth. Therefore, he shot the horse with one arrow.
”If you are a liar, I will tell you the truth.” Ma super cold channel.
”I dare not. Please ask the general.”
Ma Chao said, ”how many troops and horses have been sent out in this rebellion?”
”Five thousand people...”
”How dare you Ma Chao gave a big drink, and the silver gun suddenly hit the horse's shoulder and splashed a bloody flower. The pain of the horse called out, facial features twisted.
Ma Chao Leng hums: ”the first question dares to deceive me, it seems that today does not give you some fierce taste is not good.”
