The quail city was broken at the third watch as promised, and Pang De led a group of defeated soldiers to flee twenty miles away before stopping.
After reorganizing the soldiers and horses, it was found that only seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses were collected, and most of the soldiers who failed to escape were foot soldiers, either fleeing or lost in the city of Quail City, and were either beheaded or taken prisoner by the Gongsun army.
However, in an hour, what Pound had originally regarded as a impregnable defense was reduced to nothing by the inexplicable destruction of the city gates.
Losing the protection of the city wall, 30,000 Gongsun army iron cavalry rushed in, including the world-famous white horse righteous servant, and how could it be resisted by more than 20,000 Xiliang military horses.
In desperation, Pang De had to lead a group of remnants of the defeated army and retreat to Linjing City.
However, what he didn't expect was that in Linjing City, there would be an even bigger storm waiting for him.
General Andy's Mansion, lobby.
Ma Chao's expression was shocked and angry.
There were more than 130,000 Gongsun troops, and it was only a matter of time before they attacked Linjing City.
It's just that he never expected that Qi County and Quail City would fall so quickly.
Because Ma Teng has gone to personally contact Han Sui and the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Tribe, it has been half a month now, and it is expected that he will be able to lead the army to Linjing City in half a month at the latest, and then he will be able to fight to the death with the Gongsun army.
Gongsun Bai's 130,000 horse infantry army, plus the weight of grain and grass, it will take at least 20 days to march all the way from Chang'an, as long as the two cities of Qixian and Quail resist the Gongsun army for ten days and half a month, they can avoid the risk of Linjing City being directly attacked by the army.
Who would have expected that the time for these two cities to resist would only add up to three or four days, and among them, Quail City, which was pinned on high hopes and guarded by Xiliang's fierce general Pang De, did not even last an hour, so how could he not be angry "Even if the quail is like an iron stone, there is still Pang Gong leading the thunder to collapse."
Ma Chao pinched the note and asked angrily, "This sentence is half-incomprehensible, how can you explain that Pound can cause thunder?"
Ma Gang hurriedly said: "It is rumored that Gongsun Bai is good at immortal arts, but the foolish brother expects that he will only know some subtle illusions, and he will not really attract the thunder to break the door, otherwise the Gongsun thief has already swept across the north and south of the river, and he has barely occupied the Central Plains and the North Land today."
Since the heavenly thunder illusion can not break the door, it is just to cover people's ears and eyes, the real city gate is broken, or Pound himself made a ghost, otherwise how can there be a thunder, the reason for blowing up the city gate The foolish brother has also seen the power of the thunder, and the tree can be blown up, but its power is far from the point of blowing up the city gate, not to mention that the sky thunder should be from top to bottom, and the first to be struck by lightning should be the city tower, how can there be a reason to bombard the city gate first" Ma Dai next to him has always respected Pang De, and when he heard Ma Gang's nonsense, he couldn't help but scold: "How can this reason make Brother Ming follow his uncle to fight for many years, and he has always been loyal to his uncle, how can he be rebellious, not to mention, if Brother Ling really wants to rebel, why did he spend nearly a month to strengthen the city wall and strengthen the defense?"
Ma Gang sneered: "Now Gongsun Baigui is the king of Yan, monopolizing the land of Kyushu, and he is prominent for a while, and Pang Deqi's heart is also human nature.
As for the reinforcement of the quail city, now the quail city is in the hands of Gongsun Bai, so Pang De is not building the quail city for the main father, but for the Gongsun Bai to repair the quail city.
Gongsun Bai has this heroic city, if I wait for him to recapture it in the future, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble."
Ma Dai said angrily: "Betraying the master and being a thief, there is no reason to turn back, if Ling Ming takes the initiative to surrender, he will definitely have joined the Gongsun thief now."
And what if the defeated army retreats to Linjing City?"
Ma Gang wanted to say something, Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "Bozhan Ma Dai is reasonable, there is no reason to dare to return as a thief, let's see if Pang De dares to lead the troops back to Linjing." ” Although Ma Gang and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are brothers and sisters, Ma Chao attaches great importance to Ma Dai's cousin, even more than Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, including Ma Teng, who also values Ma Dai very much, in addition to family affection, Ma Dai's martial arts are very good, on par with Ma Teng, and although he is young, he is well commanded, which is an important reason why Ma Dai is valued.
Therefore, Ma Chao still attaches great importance to Ma Dai's opinion, not to mention that Pang De has followed Ma Teng for many years, and is Ma Teng's left arm and right arm While he was talking, a confidant junior colonel hurriedly rushed in, rushed to Ma Chao, and said urgently: "Lord Qi, General Pang led the defeated army of Quail City to retreat, and has entered Linjing City. ” Ma Chao perked up and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?"
"Nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses, all cavalry."
Ma Chao laughed and said: "The total number of cavalry in Quail City is only 9,000 cavalry, and since Ling Ming has recovered 8,000 cavalry, the main force has not been lost, and those who have fallen are nothing more than some old, weak, sick and disabled and foot soldiers, so that Ming Cheng can live up to my Ma family, please hurry up."
After about a stick of incense, Pang De had entered the lobby under the leadership of the Ma Fu general.
Pound's face was full of shame, and he bent down to face Ma Chao: "The sin general Pang De, meet the eldest prince, the sin general is not well guarded, resulting in the loss of quail city, and please ask the eldest prince to surrender."
Ma Chao laughed, helped Pang De up, and said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so that Brother Ming doesn't have to blame himself, come, Ma Chao respects his brother with a bottle of wine and suppresses his brother's shock." ” Pang De was moved, took the wine bottle handed over by his subordinates, drank a bottle with Ma Chao, and sat down with his hands.
Without waiting for Ma Chao to ask, Pang De reported the destruction of the city to Ma Chao, especially the fact that the city gate was suddenly broken with a thunderclap, which was extremely detailed, and everyone in the hall was shocked.
Ma Dai said with a shocked face: "Gongsun Bai can use the power of heaven and earth to perform the magic of divine thunder, so which city can resist the attack of his army." laugh at As soon as the words fell, he heard Ma Gang sneer, applauded, and laughed loudly: "Wonderful, really wonderful."
The Ponzi brothers were all destroyed in less than an hour.
On the day the county town was broken, I was thinking: Is the city gate paper-paste, and then I saw that the quail city was repaired by General Lingming, the city wall was thick and deep, thinking that it was enough to resist the 100,000 army of Gongsun thieves, who knew that the Gongsun thief army had not yet arrived in the city at the two watches last night, and the city had been broken at the third watch.
Pound couldn't help but be furious, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Ma Gang smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "I thought that Qi County and Quail were broken inexplicably, how can it be like a Ponzi scheme?"
It's a pity that the four words "Ponzi scheme" were just said by Ma Gang unintentionally, which was purely a coincidence.
It doesn't mean anything special to all of you.
But if Gongsun Bai was here, he was afraid that he would jump up in shock, and he had to grab Ma Gang and ask him if he had crossed over.
The code name of Gongsun Bai's divisive plan is "Ponzi scheme".
On the side, Ma Dai had already drawn his sword and stood up, pointing at Ma Gang and scolding angrily: "Zizhi, you have repeatedly framed Brother Ling Ming, what is the reason?"
Although Ma Gang is a relative of the Ma clan, Pound may have to be a little scared, but Ma Dai did not take him seriously, he has always respected Pound, and of course he must stand up and defend his idol at this moment.
Although Ma Chao also had a little doubt in his heart, he still believed in Pang De after all, coupled with Ma Dai's excited affection, he immediately waved his hand and said: "At the moment of the great enemy, why should my brothers fight in the same room, today's matter ends here, Ling Ming has also worked hard all the way, all the brothers are scattered, go back and rest." ” Ma Dai's heart was full of resentment, and he glanced at Ma Gang angrily, and then said goodbye to Ma Chao, and then Pang De also bowed goodbye to Ma Chao.
In the lobby, only Ma Chao's three brothers and Ma Gang remained.
Ma Xiu looked up at Ma Chao and plucked up the courage to say: "Big brother, the battle of Quail City, the foolish brother and Zizhi have experienced it personally, it is indeed incredible, what Zizhi said is not unreasonable, it is better to be careful." ” Ma Tie on the side also echoed: "The fall of Qi County and Quail City is extremely strange and has a lot at stake, so I have to guard against it." ” Ma Chao was originally a suspicious person by nature, and he had dispelled his doubts when he saw Pang De lead the main force of Quail City back, but after the two brothers said it, they couldn't help but be suspicious.
After a long time, Ma Chaocai said: "After all, there is no evidence, the two younger brothers can send some detailed soldiers to secretly monitor their movements and report to their brothers at any time." ” "Oh" Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were overjoyed.
Ma Gang's eyes showed a light of ecstasy, and in addition, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

For him at this moment, it is difficult to ride a tiger, Pound is Ma Teng's left arm and right arm, second only to Ma Chao, and now he has the support of Ma Dai, if he can't trample Pound under his feet this time, once the crisis passes, he will gradually fall out of favor in the army, and it is difficult to do anything.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether Pound is a true traitor or a false traitor, what matters is that Ma Gang must make him a true traitor The night is deep,.
The oil lamp flickered on, reflecting the figures of several guards standing in the room, swaying gently on the wall.
Pound sat on the case, holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, but he didn't read a few lines for a long time.
The battle of Quail City, the earth-shattering thunder, appeared in his mind from time to time, making him feel uneasy.
Outside the door of the wing, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps, and the guards on duty outside the door let out a shout: "What person?"
Immediately after that, there was a whisper, and the guards on duty also lowered their voices, asked two questions in a low voice, and then came in and whispered: "General, Pang Sima sent a letter from the envoy." ” Pound's expression changed slightly, he thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't he captured, how can he pass on the message, bring it in first" As soon as the words fell, he had already risen up, drew his sword and came out, and the guards behind him had already taken off the strong crossbow and aimed at the door.
The guard who came to report the news hurriedly rushed out, and when he returned again, he already had an extra letter in his hand, and said helplessly: "The man left the letter and has left."
Pound's face changed, and he rushed out with a knife, but saw that a black shadow had disappeared into the night.
However, the man was so fast that he disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Pound led the crowd to search the mansion carefully, but had to give up and return to the house in a hurry.
Pound opened the letter and looked at it carefully, and his face couldn't help but change again.
The handwriting on the letterhead is indeed Pang Rou, but it is vague, and often in the key places, a thick line has been smeared with a pen, and the specific text is no longer recognizable
