Linjing City, General Andy's Mansion.
The title of General Andy was given to Ma Teng when Li Dao and Guo Yan were in control of Chang'an.
The Gongsun army pressed the border, and there were only more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in Anding County, including the Ma Bu army, Ma Teng left Ma Chao to guard Linjing, Pang De to guard the quail, and he personally went to contact the soldiers and horses of Han Sui and Liangzhou to resist the Gongsun army.
In the lobby, Ma Chao sat in the middle, quietly listening to the report of Ma Gang, who had escaped death, with a sneering look in his eyes.
Although Ma Gang is his younger brother and has grown up with him since he was a child, he doesn't like Ma Gang very much, he just thinks that this guy has no ability, but his two brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie and Ma Gang are like brothers and sisters.
At this moment, when he heard Ma Gang boasting that he could defeat Wen Chou in Lily, he naturally couldn't believe it, but when he heard Pang Rou's collaboration with the enemy, he couldn't help but have a faint trace of anger on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "This is true" Ma Gang hurriedly said: "The foolish brother's words are true, if there is a lie, I am willing to listen to the punishment."
Now Pang Dezhen guards the quail city, and the defenders in the city reach more than 20,000 people. ” laugh at Ma Dai on the side really couldn't listen to it anymore, sneered, and said disdainfully: "General Ling Ming has followed his uncle for many years and has always been loyal, how could he rebel Even if it is Pang Rou, I am afraid that the city was broken because of the tricks of the Gongsun thief."
Don't say anything else, just say that Brother Zizhi Ma Gangzi defeated the famous general Wen Chou in Hebei, and shocked Zhao Yun, the first general of the Gongsun Army, not daring to fight, which must be deceitful.
In the battle of Chang'an last year, the foolish brother had fought with Wen Chou and the wrong horse a few times, and the foolish brother asked himself if his courage was not as good as Wen Chou, how could the virtuous brother defeat Wen Chou" Ma Gang's face immediately turned red, they grew up together, and they were still very clear about their respective abilities.
He and Ma Dai have never gone through fifty times in the war, and now Ma Dai thinks that he is not as good as Wen Chou, and he must have cheated when he won Wen Chou.
In fact, Ma Dai didn't say it, Ma Chao also knew in his heart that Wen Chou may not be as strong as himself, but it is still a piece of cake to beat Ma Gang. was about to speak, but he heard Ma Gang unconvinced and said urgently: "Even if Wen Chou is a fraud, Pang Rou's dedication to the city should be true, although Qi County is not a city with thick walls, but how can it be captured in less than an hour, not to mention, as soon as Qi County is broken, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses will go straight to the place where the foolish brother is staying, how can there be such a coincidence, the eldest brother must not take it lightly."
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, but Ma Gang and Ma Gang can be regarded as absolute iron buddies, the three of them often drink and have fun together, go to the street to tease the good family together, and go to the Qinglou together.
Ma Xiu hurriedly said: "Brother Zizhi is right, be careful to make the Wannian ship, the thief army so easily break through Qi County, there must be an internal response, Quail City is close to Linjing, you must be on guard." ” Ma Tie also said: "It's better to let the second brother Ma Xiu and Brother Zizhi go to Quail City and guard it with Ling Ming to avoid chaos." ” Among the brothers, Ma Dai is the youngest, and he is an uncle and brother, although he is much closer than Ma Gang, but after all, he is not as good as Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, the two brothers, seeing that the two brothers said this, Ma Dai had to shut up.
Ma Chao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, the enemy army is strong, you wait for the two to help Brother Ling Ming." ” Quail City, has always been the place where the Qiang people lived, the previous city was not majestic, the city was only two zhang high, all rammed earth had not been covered with bricks.
The circumference of the city wall is only eleven miles, and only three gates are opened.
Today's Quail City seems to have completely changed from the past.
The city is already as high as four zhang, the city wall is as wide as five or six zhang, the outer bread is covered with boulders, and the moat is also dug three or four meters wide, which can already be regarded as the second male city of Anding County.
Up and down the city, because there are several fortifications that have just been completed, there are still people coming and going under the city wall, including Han and Qiang.
On top of the city walls, the defenders were like clouds, crossbows and arrows, and there were more than a dozen trebuchets, and the trebuchets were piled up with boulders.
At the city gate, although the gate was still wide open, there were forty or fifty defenders checking the passing personnel to prevent the Gongsun army from infiltrating.
Thirty miles away from the Quail City, there were already scouts of the Liang army, and once the Gongsun army attacked, they would immediately Pegasus report the military situation.
In the middle of the West Gate Tower, a young general dressed in dark iron armor, about 30 years old, more than eight feet tall, holding a Spring and Autumn broadsword, standing proudly, the long beard on his chin gently stretched with the wind, and the god was as majestic as a god.
This person is the guard of Quail City, Pang De and Pang Lingming, who are powerful and cool.
Pound was already well-known as a teenager, serving as a county clerk and a state officer.
Later, under the command of Ma Teng, from Ma Teng to attack the rebellious Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes, several of them had military exploits, moved to the school captain, in the entire Liangzhou, Wu Yong is second only to Ma Chao.
Even Yan Xing, who had attacked the young Ma Chao in the past, and almost killed Ma Chao, was slightly inferior.
He loves to ride a white horse and gallop to kill, and is known as the "White Horse General".
Counting up, the three people who are called "White Horse Generals" in this era are Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun and Pang De, all of whom are famous people.
Since he learned that Gongsun Bai's army was marching west to Liangzhou, Pang De mobilized his troops, recruited people, and began to repair Quail City, because he knew that the original two-zhang high city of Quail City alone was not enough to resist Gongsun Army.
In addition to repairing the city wall, he also recruited troops and horses, and recruited an additional 6,000 troops, making the city of Quail City nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, second only to Linjing City.
King Yan swept through the north and the Central Plains, and his troops were invincible, but he Pang De was not an ordinary person, if he wanted to conquer Liangzhou, he had to ask him if Pang Detong agreed.
Knock on the click He galloped down at the gate, and after handing over his horse to the defenders at the gate, he galloped up the tower and ran in front of Pound.
"General Qiyu, the second prince and General Zizhi came to help on the order of the eldest prince, and now they are five miles away."
Pound frowned slightly, a look of displeasure crossed his face, and it disappeared in a flash.
At this time, Ma Tie and Ma Gang have come side by side, seeing the dilapidated quail city in the past, but in more than a month, it has been built into a strong male city, the look on Ma Gang's face became embarrassed, fortunately it was Ma Xiu who accompanied him, if Ma Chao came, I am afraid that he would have to be reprimanded, and even punished.
Although Matthew didn't say anything, the look on his face obviously no longer believed Ma Gang's words, and there was no lack of praise for Pound between his words.
Pound didn't hold it up, he went out to greet him in person, the three of them greeted each other, and entered the Quail City Mansion, during which Pound introduced the defense of Quail City to Ma Xiu and Ma Gang in detail, so that Ma Xiu had no doubts at all, and looked at Ma Gang's eyes with a sense of blame, which made Ma Gang more and more frustrated.
Night.
At this moment, Ma Gang was in his bedroom, lying with his clothes closed, his clothes were not undressed, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Tossing and turning on the couch, unable to sleep.
When he was having a headache about the things of the past few days, he heard a knock on the window outside the window, and Ma Gang jumped up in shock and asked loudly: "Who?"
shout With the sound of breaking the sky, a streamer entered through the window, and came straight to Ma Gang, who immediately took a leap and turned over and jumped to the corner. sincere But the arrow did not come straight at him, but went into the wooden table before he was lying on the couch, and it was three points into the wood, and the end of the arrow was still whining and trembling.
Immediately after, a figure flashed outside the window.
Ma Gang hurriedly drew his sword and rushed out of the room, but all he saw was silence outside the room, and even half a figure was useless, only the shadow of a tree swaying slightly with the night wind.
Ma Gang searched around again, and was about to call someone, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly rushed back to the room with a knife.

On top of the desk, the feathered arrow was still there, and by the faint moonlight, Ma Gang could see that the arrow was wearing a white cloth ball.
Ma Gang lit the lamp, carefully removed the piece of cloth, and unfolded the white cloth, but saw that there were four lines of small seals written on it.
"King Yan is destined to break the third watch, who dares to defend the city to the fifth watch.
Even though the quail is like an iron stone, there is still Pang Gong leading the thunder to collapse. ” Ma Gang read the font on the white cloth several times, and after confirming that it was correct, although he didn't know who shot this arrow, he faintly felt that this person had ventured into the house to warn, and there was no malice, it must be a friend or foe, and he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
What was surprising was that it was nearly two shifts at this time, and there was only a little more than an hour before the city was broken, and since Pound was going to collaborate with the enemy, the safety of himself and Matthew would not be guaranteed.
Happily, his grievances are finally about to be whitewashed.
He hesitated for a moment, then immediately rushed to Matthew's residence and woke up Matthew, who was still asleep.
Matthew was sleeping in a daze, and he was naturally very unhappy when he was woken up by Ma Gang, and Ma Gang suspected that Pang De had also betrayed the fact that there was no trace at all, and he was disturbed from his sleep at the moment, although he did not have a seizure because he usually had a big health care together, but his face was extremely ugly.
But when Ma Gang handed him the flying arrow handbook, Ma Xiu's face changed slightly.
It's just over an hour away from the third watch, this kind of thing is fake, if it's true, I'm afraid that I will fall into the hands of the Gongsun thief army, and my life is difficult to protect, so I can't afford him not to pay attention to it.
Ma Xiu hesitated for a moment, then put on his armor, raised his spear, and said to Ma Gang: "Go, follow me to the city to have a look." ” The two no longer hesitated, with more than a dozen guards, galloped towards the west gate, and then inspected the towers on all sides of the city in the name of patrolling the night and checking the post.
The result was a great disappointment for the two of them, and the defenders on the towers of the city on all sides were waiting for them in strict formation, and there was not even a single one who was sleepy, and there was not the slightest hint of imminent surrender to the enemy in the city and in the city.
What made the two even more frustrated was that there was no trace of Gongsun Jun outside the city.
Just when Ma Gang's face was full of frustration again, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked: "Second brother, since the enemy army is still great and the city is heavily guarded, it is unreasonable for the third watch to break the city.
If tonight is safe, it is natural that the messenger is playing tricks and plotting with ill intentions, and he will be determined to be a thief and a thief; If Quail City is really broken at the third watch tonight, can it be confirmed that the Pang brothers really surrendered to the enemy?"
Matthew blurted out: "That's nature" Then his face changed greatly: "If that's the case, I'll wait for my life to rest tonight."
Ma Gang hurriedly said: "At this time, it is already two watches, why don't I go back to the house, just wait near the west gate, if the city has not been broken after the fourth watch, then go back to the house to rest, if the third watch is really broken city, the foolish brother should sacrifice his life to kill a bloody road, escort the second brother out of the city" Matthew thought about it again and again, and finally realized that it was always right to be cautious about life-threatening matters, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just follow the plan." ” There will be two shifts today, and from tomorrow to next Sunday, the double shifts will continue.
To be continued
