Chapter 87: Anyi City Broken

"All 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.

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

"Kill!"

"Block, all give me block."

"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 launch 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, then we will not let you have a good time!

They saw them all gripping their weapons tightly and going to defend the city.

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

They saw in front, a uniform line of shield soldiers at the very front, blocking the things thrown down from the city tower.

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

Following everyone's ramming, because they had reserved the main gate for Shao Ge, the door bolt of the city gate had not been put on, and now it was all relying on manpower to block it.

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

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

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao immediately roared at everyone.

"One, two..."

After hearing Ma Chao's voice, everyone rammed even harder, and soon, the Qiang soldiers behind the city gate could no longer block it.

Following the desperate ramming of the Xiliang army soldiers, the soldiers behind the city gate could no longer block it, and the entire gate of Anyi City was thus broken by Ma Chao and the others.

"All soldiers, follow this general, kill!"

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

"Kill!"

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

They saw Ma Chao leading the way; every time he swept out his spear, several Qiang soldiers were shaken away.

And Pang De was no exception; although it was not as exaggerated as Ma Chao, every time his blade went down, several Qiang soldiers died miserably.

"The Emperor has an order, all Qiang people, not one is to be left!"

When Ma Chao was killing vigorously, he did not forget to convey Liu Bian's imperial edict to everyone.

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

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

Under the tireless slaughter of everyone, soon, the ten-thousand-strong Qiang army in Anyi City had been beheaded.

In the Prefectural Governor's Mansion of Anyi City, Ma Teng and a group of martial generals under his command were gathered together, counting the battle damage 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?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng also asked with a face full of concern.

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

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

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

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

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

Hearing Ma Dai's words, Ma Teng's face also looked a little better.

After all, how could there be no one dying in war!

As the attacking side, having only three hundred casualties, this was equivalent to having none.

"Have people arrange the pensions for the fallen soldiers, and the wounded soldiers must also be rescued with all their strength."

Regarding the pensions for the soldiers, Liu Bian still valued it very much and had long ago arranged for people to notify every army.

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

Ma Dai said respectfully to Ma Teng.

"Good!"

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

Subsequently, he said to Ma Chao and Pang De again:

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

"The Emperor had an imperial edict long ago, all Qiang people, not one is to be left!"

Regarding the Qiang tribe, Ma Teng was also very angry.

This Qiang tribe had the ambition of a wolf, actually daring to unite with Han Sui to attack him.

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

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

"This humble general obeys 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 to death this time.

"Mengqi, what do you think about the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent by the Emperor this time compared to yours, 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 again.

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

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

Moreover, according to the information sent by the Dark Guards, this time Liu Bian sent two great generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to lead an army of ten thousand to support him.

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

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

"Father, when the child was in Luoyang, I fought with these two people, and their strength was on par with the child's!"

"At that time, we had just started to cultivate and already had the strength of a first-rate martial general."

"And, the most important thing is, they were only three or four years older than the child."

After finishing listening to Ma Chao's words, Ma Teng was also a bit surprised. You must know, Ma Chao was only seventeen years old; in this way, the age of these two people was at most in their early twenties.

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

"So, it was always me who underestimated the people of the world. I didn't expect that in this world, there were so many people with powerful strength!"

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

You must know, the strength of a first-rate martial general is not so easy to break through, otherwise there would not be so many second-rate martial generals who could guard one side.

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

The entire Han Empire's strength reaching the strength of a first-rate martial general was only a handful.

And now, just the ones he knew who had strength exceeding a first-rate martial general were already three.

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

Thinking of this, Ma Teng also had to sigh at Liu Bian's powerful strength. ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
