Chapter 360

"Soldiers, follow this general and charge!"

Looking at the Qiang soldiers who had already fallen into a pool of blood, Ma Chao turned his long spear, looked at Anyi City, and roared.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Ma Chao and killed toward Anyi City.

"Kill!"

"Block, block for me."

"Must not let them break the city gate, otherwise we will all die."

"You have also seen that they will not accept our surrender."

Seeing Ma Chao and the others launching an attack on Anyi City.

The defender on the city tower roared anxiously at a group of Qiang soldiers.

After hearing the defender's words, the Qiang soldiers also became ruthless in their hearts. Since you insist on us dying, we won't let you have a good time either!

Only to see them all gripping their weapons tightly and going to defend the city.

And at this time, Ma Chao, Pang De, and other Xiliang army generals had already led the army to Anyi City.

Only to see in front, a uniform line of shield soldiers at the very front, resisting the things thrown down from the city tower.

Under the city gate, hundreds of soldiers were exerting force together, ramming the city gate.

Following everyone's ramming, because the city gate was left for Shao Ge, the door bolt of the city gate wasn't even put on. At this time, it was all relying on manpower to resist.

After being rammed a few times by the army led by Ma Chao, there was already a trend of being rammed open.

"Soldiers, exert some strength, the city gate will be broken soon!"

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao roared at the crowd.

"One, two..."

After hearing Ma Chao's voice, everyone rammed even harder. Very quickly, the Qiang soldiers behind the city gate couldn't resist anymore.

Following the strenuous ramming of the Xiliang army soldiers, the soldiers behind the city gate could no longer resist, and the entire gate of Anyi City was broken by Ma Chao and the others just like that.

"Soldiers, follow this general and kill!"

Seeing the city gate rammed open, Ma Chao immediately swung his long spear, roared at the crowd, and killed toward Anyi City.

"Kill!"

Very quickly, Ma Teng's Xiliang army surged into Anyi City like a tide.

Only to see Ma Chao leading the way. Every time he swept his spear, several Qiang soldiers were shaken away.

And Pang De was no exception. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Ma Chao, every time he slashed, several Qiang soldiers died miserably.

"His Majesty has an order, all Qiang people are to be left alive!"

When Ma Chao was killing vigorously, he didn't forget to convey Liu Bian's imperial edict to the crowd.

This was also the reason why Ma Teng ordered the killing of a thousand surrendered Qiang soldiers at the city gate.

As early as when the Qiang tribe decided to help Han Sui, their ending was already doomed.

Under the tireless slaughter of the crowd, very quickly, the ten-thousand-strong Qiang army in Anyi City had already been slaughtered.

In the Prefect's Residence of Anyi City, Ma Teng and a group of generals under his command were gathered together, counting the battle losses after the great battle.

"Uncle, it's all counted!"

Ma Dai held the battle report that had just been counted and said respectfully to Ma Teng at the head.

"Oh, how many soldiers did we lose in this battle?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Teng also asked with concern.

"Uncle, in this battle, our army beheaded ten thousand enemy troops."

"One hundred and forty-two died in battle, and two hundred and eight soldiers were injured."

Ma Dai finished saying the counted battle report to Ma Teng and the crowd in one breath.

Looking at Ma Teng's gradually gloomy face, Ma Dai immediately added:

"However, these injured and dead soldiers were all injured and dead when attacking the city."

After hearing Ma Dai's words, Ma Teng's face also looked a bit better.

After all, how could there be no deaths in war!

As the attacking side, there were only more than three hundred casualties; this was equivalent to nothing.

"Tell people to arrange the pension for the soldiers who died in battle, and the injured soldiers should also be treated with all their strength."

Liu Bian still attached great importance to the pension of the soldiers and had long arranged for people to notify all armies.

"Please rest assured, Uncle, this nephew has already arranged it properly."

Ma Dai said respectfully to Ma Teng.

"Good!"

After hearing that Ma Dai had arranged this matter properly, Ma Teng also nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, he said to Ma Chao and Pang De:

"Ming, Mengqi, the Qiang people in Anyi City will be left to you two to clean up."

"His Majesty has long had an imperial edict: not a single Qiang person is to be left alive!"

Ma Teng was also very angry about the Qiang tribe.

This Qiang tribe had wolfish ambitions, actually daring to unite with Han Sui to attack him.

If it weren't for the news from the Shadow Guards, they would have really been tricked by them.

Therefore, Ma Teng and the others were quite in favor of Liu Bian's imperial edict.

"Subordinates accept the order!"

After hearing Ma Teng's words, Ma Chao and Pang De responded solemnly.

It could be said that Che Liji had really offended everyone this time.

"Mengqi, you said that the Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent by His Majesty this time, compared to your strength, who is stronger?"

Seeing that everyone's matters were arranged properly, Ma Teng asked Ma Chao about the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

It turned out that as early as yesterday, Ma Teng had received the news from the Shadow Guards, which was why the slaughter of the Qiang tribe happened.

If it were according to Ma Teng's previous handling, he certainly wouldn't have exterminated the Qiang tribe, at most he would have killed all the Qiang soldiers.

Moreover, according to the information from the Shadow Guards, this time Liu Bian sent two great generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to lead ten thousand troops to support him.

To be so valued by Liu Bian, presumably their strength could not be underestimated, which was why he asked Ma Chao.

Facing Ma Teng's question, Ma Chao pondered for a while, organized his thoughts, and then said to Ma Teng and the others solemnly:

"Father, when I was in Luoyang, I fought with these two, and their strength was on par with mine!"

"At that time, we had just started cultivating and already had the strength of first-rate generals."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that they were only three or four years older than me."

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Teng was also a bit surprised. You know, Ma Chao was only seventeen years old. In that case, the age of these two was at most in their early twenties.

At this age, to have such powerful strength, one could see how powerful their talent was.

"So, I have always underestimated the people of the world. I didn't expect that there were so many powerful people in this world!"

For a time, Ma Teng had to sigh that he had underestimated the people of the world.

You know, the strength of a first-rate general was not so easy to break through, otherwise there wouldn't be so many second-rate generals who could guard one side.

Previously, when the Ling Emperor was on the throne, there wasn't a single general in the Han court whose strength reached that of a first-rate general.

In the entire Han Empire, those whose strength reached that of a first-rate general could be counted on one hand.

And now, just those he knew whose strength exceeded that of a first-rate general were already three.

This was only what he knew; in Liu Bian's hands, it was impossible for there to be only these few.

Thinking of this, Ma Teng had to sigh at Liu Bian's powerful strength.
