Ma Dai rode his horse and galloped wildly, crossing Didao Taozhou from Tianshui, and there was only one thought in his heart - to rush to Liangzhou as soon as possible and tell Ma Chao the shocking news. After traveling day and night, he finally arrived in Liangzhou City four or five days later. He didn't care about the report, and rushed directly into the government office, and his usual calm image had no time to take care of it at the moment.
At this moment, Ma Chao is sitting around the fire with his sister Ma Yunluo and his wife Yang Feng chatting about family life, his face is full of rare ease and pleasure. Their family is the pride of Ma Teng: Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu's two younger brothers also have their own strengths, and Ma Yunluo is the pearl of the family, beauty and martial arts coexist, dazzling.
However, this calm atmosphere was shattered by Ma Dai's sudden intrusion. He was dressed in plain clothes, burst into tears, choked his voice, and told him how Cao Cao forced his uncle Ma Teng to send troops, and how he brutally killed Ma Teng and his two nephews. Ma Chao and the three looked at him in astonishment, and a sense of foreboding surged in their hearts.
When they heard the news that their father and younger brother were murdered, Ma Chao and Ma Yunluo's hearts were like knives, anger and grief were intertwined, and they couldn't bear the sudden blow, and they both fainted.
The entire city of Liangzhou was immersed in grief. The people spontaneously gathered in silence for the passing of General Maten. The soldiers in the army were even more indignant and expressed their desire to avenge the old general.
Ma Chao's family cried to death, and the generals under him persuaded each other hard to stop their crying. After Ma Chao wiped away his tears, he asked Ma Dai in a hoarse voice how he escaped. Ma Dai described in detail how he followed his uncle's orders to retreat to Tianshui, and how he waited for Ma Chao's response. His words reveal his admiration for his uncle and his loyalty to the family.
At this time, there was a cacophony of people outside, and the soldiers reported that the people and soldiers of the whole city had elected representatives to see General Ma Chao, hoping that he would be able to raise troops to avenge his father. When Ma Chao walked out of the lobby, he saw that all the delegates saluted him one after another and expressed their grief and indignation at the death of the old general. Their eyes flashed with determination, as if they were ready to fight side by side with Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was touched by the enthusiasm of the people and soldiers. He pulled out the arrow and loudly ordered the military administration to quickly order 30,000 horses and horses, and prepare the white clothes and white armor and the materials needed for the expedition within three days. The entire city of Liangzhou moved, making tense preparations for the upcoming battle.
After seeing off the delegates, Ma Chao returned to Yazhong and began to arrange the expedition. He decided to personally lead the troops to take revenge, and left his sister Ma Yunluo to guard Liangzhou City. However, this fierce lady insisted on going together to avenge her father. In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to agree to her, and ordered his subordinates to leave Ma Long and Ma Ji in the city to ensure the safety of the rear.
On the night before the expedition, Ma Chao set up the spiritual seat of his father and two younger brothers, and led the whole family to pay tribute. They wept bitterly, telling about their longing and reluctance for their loved ones. This memorial is not only a remembrance of the deceased loved ones, but also a pledge to the upcoming battle.
Four days later, Ma Chao led an army of 30,000 and left Liangzhou City and marched towards Jincheng. Their procession was neat and orderly, and the white flags and white armor shone in the sun, as spectacular as a sea of silver mountains and snow. The soldiers were in high spirits and high spirits, and were well prepared for the upcoming battle.
This battle, for Ma Chao, is not only for revenge, but also to defend the honor and dignity of the family. He is determined to use his strength to seek justice for his father and younger brother, and make Cao Cao pay the price he deserves!
The army led by Ma Chao finally arrived in Jincheng, and the city gates had already been opened for them. Han Sui, an old friend who had eight worships with Ma Teng, only brought a few entourages and personally went to Ma Chao's camp to greet him. When the two met, there was no need to say much, only deep hugs and endless tears.
Han Sui told Ma Chao in detail how Cao Cao sent Jia Xu to use wealth and title as bait to win him over. Under the pressure of power, he had to give in temporarily. But he has secretly arranged, and the generals Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu have stationed troops in Chaona and Gaoping respectively, just waiting for Ma Chao's army to arrive, and they can directly take Chang'an.
After hearing this, Ma Chao bowed deeply to Han Sui and expressed his gratitude. They agreed that Han Sui would continue to defend Jincheng as a response, while Ma Chao would lead the army to Gaoping.
Wherever Ma Chao's army went, Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu's armies gave way one after another, without any obstruction. Even if Wei Kang and Yang Fu along the way wanted to make a move, they didn't dare to stop it easily. It only took more than half a month for Ma Chao's army to arrive at the west gate of Chang'an and set up camp.
Chang'an's Taishou is Zhong Xuan, a scholar who can only dance and write, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs. On the one hand, he ordered to hold the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to ask Xuchang for help. At the same time, he was also worried that far water would not quench his thirst, so he hurriedly sent someone to Cao Hong for help.
Ma Chao knew that Chang'an City was strong and difficult to attack, and if he faced off for a long time, when the rescuers arrived, he would suffer from the enemy on his back. So, he came up with a plan and ordered dozens of sergeants to disguise themselves as villagers and infiltrate the city. At the same time, he was not in a hurry to besiege the city, but divided his troops to attack the prefectures and counties near Chang'an, forcing refugees to pour into the city.
When Zhong Miao saw the influx of refugees in the city, he felt pity for them, so he opened the city gate and let them into the city. However, these refugees are mixed with Ma Chao's spies. At the third watch, a fire broke out at the east gate, and Zhong Miao hurriedly sent someone to put out the fire. However, this is exactly Ma Chao's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. He took the opportunity to attack the city from the west gate, and the Xiliang soldiers descended the mountain like fierce tigers, and the defenders of the city scattered and fled. Zhong Miao had no choice but to take off his clothes and flee to Tongguan with his relatives.
After Ma Chao occupied Chang'an, he pacified the people and sent troops to chase Zhong Xuan, while sending troops to guard Chang'an and attack Fufeng. The entire Chang'an City was under his control, and his eyes revealed firmness and expectation for the future. He knew that this was only the beginning of his path of revenge......
In ancient times, the transmission of military information was very slow, and the news of the fall of Chang'an had not yet come out, and Cao Hong had already sent 7,000 soldiers to support Chang'an. Ma Chao wanted to fight with Wenpin, but Ma Yunlu didn't say a word, he went into battle directly, and rushed out!
Outside the city of Chang'an, the dust was flying, and the war drums were rumbling. The 7,000 soldiers led by Wen Ping sent by Cao Hong have already approached the city, and the army is neat and tidy, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
At the head of the city, Ma Chao's eyes were solemn, and he was about to ride his horse out of the city to meet the battle, but was stopped by Ma Yunlu on the side. She didn't say a word, she went straight into battle, and her silver armor shone in the sun, looking heroic. She wears a lion helmet, a chain of chain mail, a soapy robe, a sword hanging from her waist, a pear spear in her hand, and a snow-white war horse in her crotch, like a heroine in the middle of the woman.
Ma Yunlu rushed out of the city gate and went straight to Wenpin. Seeing this, Wen Ping also urged him to step forward to face the battle. When the two were a few feet apart, they reined in their horses at the same time and stared at each other tightly. Wen Ping is burly, has a resolute face, and his martial arts are not trivial. He held a big knife in his hand and rushed towards Ma Yunlu with a fierce momentum.
Ma Yunlu's face did not change, he held the pear flower gun tightly, and rode his horse to meet him. Swords and guns intersect, sparks splash everywhere, and the two fight together, inseparable. Their martial arts are different, one has a sharp sword technique, and the other is like a dragon, and the battle is difficult to solve.
Ma Chao at the head of the city looked at the battlefield nervously, and secretly sweated for his sister in his heart. And the battle under the city has become more and more intense, Ma Yunlu and Wen Ping have fought for more than 20 rounds, and there is still no winner or loser.
As time passed, Ma Yunlu gradually showed her strengths. Her marksmanship is flexible and changeable, sometimes like a snake wrapped around Wen Ping's big knife, and sometimes like a tiger descending from a mountain, she directly captures Wen Ping's key point. Although Wen Ping is extremely brave, he is also overstretched under Ma Yunlu's offensive.
Finally, in the thirtieth round, Ma Yunlu saw the opportunity and picked off the big knife in Wen Ping's hand with one shot. Wen Ping was shocked and hurriedly turned his horse and fled. Ma Yunlu chased after him closely, and chased him several miles away before collecting his troops and returning to the city.
This battle made the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an marvel at Ma Yunlu's bravery. Ma Chao also knew that his sister's martial arts had surpassed him, and he felt both relieved and a little disappointed. But in any case, he was proud to have such a heroic sister.
After the war, there was jubilation in Chang'an City, and the people came out of their homes to cheer and applaud Ma Yunlu. But Ma Yunlu just smiled faintly and returned to the mansion.
