Chapter 274 Ma Chao Comes

Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers led dozens of private soldiers from the Ma family to the west from Guzang City, and stayed overnight all the way. Now in Liangzhou, due to the proper governance of Liu Yezhou's pastoral government, there are horse bandits and Qiang people in the territory. The disaster was eliminated, so the two brothers did not encounter any Qiang people along the way.

"Brother, I found a stove ahead where the army made fire and cooked. It seems to be the stove of the army under Uncle's command." Ma Dai rode his horse and ran over, shouting to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's eyes lit up: "Where is the pit, show me."

"Here."

Ma Dai was walking ahead, and Ma Chao followed. After a while, he saw rows of stove pits in the field. The ashes were covered by mud. It was obvious that nearly ten thousand troops were cooking here.

Dozens of Ma Chao's men went all the way in the direction of Ma Teng's march, and found another stove pit a few days later, but this time the number of stove pits was significantly smaller.

Ma Chao said confidently: "Obviously my father fought with the Qiang people and was slightly injured. It seems that my father should be nearby."

Ma Dai nodded, suddenly frowned, looked around carefully, and whispered to Ma Chao: "Brother, there seem to be spies nearby."

Ma Chao nodded calmly, and reached out to take an iron tire bow from his back.

"Roar!" He suddenly shouted, and it spread in all directions in the wilderness. A war horse lying in a hollow in the wilderness was frightened and stood up, exposing the Hu Qi on its back.

That Hu Qi was taken aback, only then did he realize that he had been discovered, and without further ado, he pulled his horse and fled. There were dozens of Han soldiers in this group, and he was only a single-handed horse, so he couldn't afford to fight the opponent to death.

"Stay where you are and don't move, someone will do." Ma Chao told Ma Dai and the others, and then he rode his horse and rushed out, holding the longbow tightly with both hands. He aimed at Hu Qi who was running away.

Whoosh!

The bowstring rang loudly, and an arrow shot out through the air. When Hu Qi heard the sound behind him, he felt bad, and hurriedly lowered his upper body on the horse's back.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao's arrow was not aimed at him at all, but at the horse under his crotch. The arrow flew out and hit the horse's front hoof. Hu Qi stepped off the horse and screamed, his body threw forward due to inertia, the injured horse's hooves suddenly folded and knelt on the ground, directly threw Hu Qi out, turned a few somersaults on the ground, and made a mess.

Hu Qi buried his face in the yellow sand, raised his head hastily, and shook the yellow sand between his head and neck, just as he raised his head, a threatening murderous aura came.

A bright silver gun was held against Hu Qi's throat, the distance was less than an inch. Hu Qi raised his face tremblingly, only to see a cold breath emanating from the face of a young knight.

Ma Chao lived in Liangzhou since he was a child, and his grandmother was a Qiang, so he knew the Qiang language well: "If you dare to move, I will shoot you through the throat."

That Hu Qi shook his head lightly: "Don't dare, dare not, please spare my life, General."

Ma Chao's archery skills are astonishing. In fact, he was absolutely sure to shoot this member Hu Qi through his throat with the arrow just now. However, Ma Chao's purpose was not to kill this member Hu Qi, but to extract information from his mouth, so this Only one arrow shot down the horse.

"I will ask you a few words. If you answer truthfully, I will let you go. If you tell a half lie, I will kill you!" Ma Chao said coldly.

"Don't dare, please ask the general to ask."

Ma Chao said: "How many soldiers and horses did Hu Qi dispatch in this rebellion?"

Nahu Qi said: "Five thousand people"

"How courageous!" Ma Chao yelled, and with a sharp swip of the silver gun, he stabbed fiercely into Hu Qi's shoulder, and a flower of blood splashed out immediately. The painful Hu Qi yelled, his facial features distorted.

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Dare to lie to me for the first question, it seems that I will not give you a little bit of strength today."

Hu Qi was scared out of his wits by Ma Chao, he didn't expect this kid to be so vicious, how dare he lie to him, so he immediately answered truthfully.

"How many Hu Qi are there, and who is leading the army?"

"Little general, our department has dispatched tens of thousands of people who can control the strings, and the leader is the leader Tu Zexiong."

"Have you fought against a general named Ma in the Han army recently? How about the outcome?"

"yes"

Ma Chao asked a question, and Hu Qi answered, but Ma Chao's face became more serious the more he listened.

"You said that father has been besieged by you on the earth mountain, and he can't get out?" Ma Chao said angrily.

Hu Qi flattered him and said, "If we know that General Ma is the father of General Xiao Ma, how dare we surround General Ma?"

Ma Chao snorted and waved his hands: "You can go."

Hu Qi looked overjoyed: "Thank you General Xiao Ma, thank you General Xiao Ma."

Pooh!

The silver gun suddenly protruded and pierced Hu Qi's throat in one fell swoop. A sharp pain came from his throat. Hu Qi looked up at Ma Chao in disbelief, and reached out to hold the gun.

"you you!"

"A gentleman keeps his word, how can he say anything to Hulu?" Ma Chao snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pulled out a long coin, a stream of blood splashed out, and Hu Qi lay powerlessly on the ground, but his pupils couldn't close. It reflects the reflection of a young white horse general.

Seeing Ma Chao walking back with a solemn expression, Ma Dai stepped forward and asked, "Why is your brother so ugly? Could it be that Uncle is at a disadvantage in the war?"

Ma Chao nodded: "Father was surrounded by Qiang iron cavalry on the earth mountain. As long as there was an army charging down, the Qiang people would immediately shoot back with arrows, and now they can't get out."

Ma Dai frowned: "This is impossible, isn't uncle in danger? We should rescue him as soon as possible."

After saying this, Ma Dai couldn't help but sighed. It is estimated that these dozens of people have not been able to rescue his uncle, and all of these dozens of people will be taken in.

Ma Chao raised his head, his starry eyes were shining brightly.

"Yes, of course we must be rescued." Ma Chao clenched his fists, his tone unquestionable.

Ma Dai didn't want to discourage Ma Chao's enthusiasm, "Brother, I'm waiting for dozens of people. If I rush into the army of ten thousand people, I'm afraid it will be a mud cow into the sea, and there will be no news."

The silver-white fur on the lion's helmet fluttered in the wind. Ma Chao said slowly, "Of course we can't rush into the enemy's camp without thinking. We can attack the camp at night and set fire to it so that the enemy can't tell you and me. In the chaos, father can naturally take the opportunity to make trouble."

Ma Dai nodded: "That's the only way, I'm going to prepare the things needed to set the fire."

"Well, let's get ready."

Ma Chao asked where Ma Teng and the troops under his command were trapped from the mouth of Hu Qi, who was alone. Therefore, when Ma Dai was ready to set things on fire, he immediately led dozens of private soldiers to find the place where Ma Teng was trapped. That bald mountain was quietly waiting for the night to come.

But it is strange to say that there is already chaos in the enemy camp.
