Ma Teng divided Ma Xiu and Ma Tie into three ways from a cone formation. The purpose was not to form a siege and attack against the enemy, but to replace the rotation.

The battle between the two armies is not a competition of quantity, nor any strange strategies.

Just like no matter whether a person faces ten opponents or one hundred opponents, the surrounding area he or she is still limited, and it is impossible to fight with one hundred people at the same time.

Ma Teng did not allow left and right roads to join the battle, but did not want to make the situation more chaotic and increase the fatigue of the overall army.

Now that the central army has just fought, they immediately retreated and replaced by Ma Xiujun.

"Han Sui will do the same," said Ma Teng, "but the dispersal formation he used should be taken from the Qin Hu style of the northern part of Qin and Hu. It seems that Han Sui's contact with Zhi Yuanduo should have been a long time."

After saying that, he asked the entire army to dismount and rest, preparing to wait until Ma Tie takes over Ma Shu, and our army will continue to be on the wheels.

So now everyone is taking the time to tie up their wounds, either replenish water, or repair their own weapons, tidy up their armor, etc.

Yang Fu, who was in charge of the rear military supervisor, came to Ma Teng and whispered: "Why not avoid his sharp edge first?"

Ma Tengqi said: "Mr. Yishan means..."

Yang Fu said: "We will fight and retreat, and retreat to the foot of the nearby mountain to set up a camp to defend."

Zhou Yang immediately responded: "Let me tell Chang'an reinforcements immediately, please believe me, General Ma."

Ma Teng said: "If you don't believe you, you will behead you before the war begins, but there is no need to ask for reinforcements. I want to see what Han Sui and Zhi Yuanduo have."

Yang Fu advised: "General Ma, don't show the courage of every man."

Ma Teng smiled and said, "I am not a brave but unscheming person. Although the enemy's strength is above our army, I have no intention of fighting to the death with us. The purpose should be to attract Wuwei to send troops, then ride in, or disperse to false retribution, or disrupt the morale of the army, so as to achieve the effect of defeating us one by one. No one understands Han Sui's way of using troops better than me."

Zhou Yang said, "It is precisely because Han Sui knew General Ma knew him that General Ma could not use General Ma's usual fighting style. I am the younger generation agreeing with Mr. Yishan's proposal."

Ma Teng showed deep thoughts on his face and murmured: "Han Sui understands me? I understand him..."

Just as Zhou Yang and Yang Fu were waiting for Ma Teng’s decision, an urgent report came from the front, and the cavalry flew off the horse and said, “Report to General Ma Tie, General Ma Xiu’s successor has not come.”

Ma Teng said in shock: "What!"

Yang Fu said: "It seems that Han Sui is very familiar with the general's combat methods. It is estimated that the troops are divided into two groups and confront us and General Ma Tie at the same time."

Now, Ma Teng, the main force, obviously has not had enough rest. Everyone is trying to get more recovery time, but time cannot allow them to stop.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to get back on the horse.

Zhou Yang has endless cycling endurance in his body, and he will not feel tired because of not having enough rest.

But when the others heard that they were going to fight again, they all looked fearless, but their scattered state made people very worried.

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said, "According to Mr. Yishan's wishes, everyone will fight and retreat."

Yang Fu nodded and said, "I understand, then I will pave the way for the retreat."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but say, "Please let me charge in place of the general!"

So the Xiliang cavalry ran forward again. When they were united with the Maxiu Army, the enemy's dispersion was increasing, making them exhausted from fighting.

Everyone fought and retreated for several miles, and finally merged with Ma Tie.

The six thousand Xiliang cavalry were not killed or injured, but they were exhausted overall.

It was not until dark that everyone retreated into the nearby forest in a tough battle, and the enemy did not intend to pursue it.

But anyone knows that as soon as they leave the woods, they will immediately contact the enemy again. However, staying in the woods is not a long-term solution, and they will sooner or later be trapped to death.

In any case, at least the entire army was able to rest.

But Ma Teng still divided everyone into hundreds of groups and left the post to prevent the enemy from raiding.

Seeing that Zhou Yang was covered in blood, Ma Xiu knew that he had also experienced a hard battle, so he calmed down on him and said less hostile than before: "I misunderstood Zhou's prefect earlier, I hope I will forgive me."

Zhou Yang did not care about him and felt good about him for his courage to face his mistakes. Ma Teng’s father and three are indeed straightforward people.

Ma Teng's army stayed in the forest for several days, fully knowing what kind of strength the enemy has and what kind of attack they will face after leaving the woods, but the food is consumed every day without any supplies.

This is not a solution. Just when everyone decided to fight to the death, Yang Fu hurriedly ran back and said, "Outside... there is a cavalry outside attacking the enemy."

Zhou Yang said: "Han Sui has indeed received the report. It seems that it should be reinforcements brought by Ma Chao."

Ma Teng said firmly: "No matter what, we must take the opportunity to fight out immediately and form a pincer attack with reinforcements."

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie quickly stood up, everyone adjusted their troops and ran out of the woods again.

A cavalry with a number of about 300 people outside the forest rushed into the enemy formation. Ma Teng and the generals were also fighting to break through the siege and soon met with the opponent.

With so few reinforcements, was it because Ma Chao saw through Han Sui's conspiracy and retained his strength in Wuwei?

But he quickly gave up the idea, because the person who led the troops to kill the enemy was not Ma Chao, but a handsome woman. That was not who Ma Yunlu would be, who hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhou Yang saw him from afar, and immediately pulled out the Nebula Sword and killed him with one shot and one sword.

A trace of tenderness in Ma Yunlu's eyes disappeared, and instead he was more focused on killing the enemy. Finally, he joined forces with his father Ma Teng, brother Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and broke through the siege together.

The enemy was disrupted by this sudden army and had no intention of fighting to the death. Seeing Ma Teng and his friends bravely fighting the enemy, the Western Liang cavalry were all very morale and soon retreated.

This plain land has no supply, no support, and no defensive terrain.

In order to get rid of this isolated situation, everyone rushed to the road overnight, and when the food and water were exhausted, they insisted on storing until Xinping City was blocked, so that they could get real breathing time.

When he arrived here, Li Dian immediately provided various support for everyone.

Zhou Yang asked strangely: "Zhi Yuanduo didn't actually pass here?"

Li Dian shook his head and said, "No, the Qin Hu cavalry were repeatedly found in front of him, but they did not come to attack, but looked at Dandan."

Ma Teng and his two sons were half naked and strong, with gauze wrapped around the wounds, but they did not plan to rest. Instead, they were discussing matters with Zhou Yang and others. Hearing this, "If this is the case, then the army that really attacked us is not someone else, but Han Sui."

Zhou Yangqi said: "Why didn't Zhiyuanduo take action?"

Ma Xiu said with a heavy expression: "There is only one possibility. Han Sui and Zhiyuanduo plan to force us to Xinping City and catch us all in one go."

Li Dian said, "This is impossible. Although Xinping City Pass is a fortress fortress, the martial arts in the south form a junction with Hanxing, and support each other. It is difficult to defeat them in a short time. As long as we can't stand, we can get the support of Chang'an for a long time. The enemy cannot not know this."

Ma Teng asked: "Does he plan to continue blocking the road? As long as we set up again to Chang'an, we will be attacked again?"

Li Dian still denied: "Yi Mo will believe that it is obvious that Ma Chao did not come to support him and remained at Wuwei. In other words, Han Sui's goal has not been achieved, so he needs to continue to act on us and force Ma Chao out."

At this time, Ma Yunlu, wearing light armor outside the door, rushed in, glanced at Zhou Yang coldly, and said, "Brother is not a human!"

Zhou Yang only began to look at the little woman who was going to drag him to feed the dog one by one.

I saw that her heroic figure was not as good as that of the past, and she grew up to be a tall and graceful woman. The ruthless taste on her body had not changed at all, but her eyes added a little firmness.

It is estimated that in the past few years, in addition to getting up every morning to look at the stars, Ma Yunlu has also been persevering in training himself strictly.

"What's wrong with Meng Qi?" Ma Teng asked.

"Brother, he..." Ma Yunlu said angrily, "He actually refused to help him. He knew that his father was attacked, but he refused to ask for help, so his daughter found more than 300 people."

"Maybe my elder brother has seen through Han Sui's conspiracy, so..." Ma Xiu said helping.

"What conspiracy? Is it related to Uncle Han's attack?" Ma Yunlu asked obviously with a confused look on his face.

"It's true." Zhou Yang interrupted from the side, and his eyes kept touching her.

However, Ma Yunlu avoided looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and did not pay attention to the Nebula Sword that the other party had been carrying, but continued: "The eldest brother is indifferent to his father's life and death. He spent all day hunting and playing in the Qiang people's large and small Yugu, and only General Pang De was the only one in Wuwei."

When Zhou Yang heard the name Pang De, a general immediately appeared in his heart.

This Pang De is a powerful general who can compete with Guan Yu in the future, and his combat bravery is no less than Ma Chao.

Looking at the entire Xiliang, if Ma Chao is the strongest warrior, then Pang De must have the ability to be as famous as him. However, as Ma Chao's general, there is naturally no need to compete with Ma Chao.

At the same time, I made a secret decision in my heart that if I have the opportunity in the future, I must recruit Pang De for my own use.

"How could my brother be so playful?" Ma Xiu said in disbelief.

"Although Meng Qi is impulsive, it is not enough to be serious." Ma Teng was still scrupulous in his heart, looking puzzled.

Ma Yunlu interrupted everyone's thoughts again and said, "No matter what, the eldest brother just didn't come anyway, he just didn't help him, and he just wanted to watch his father be attacked by the Qin Hu cavalry without regard for it."

Ma Teng shouted: "Stop, I believe in Meng Qi!"

Zhou Yang quickly smoothed out the situation for the father and daughter, and changed the topic: "No matter what the situation is, at least Ma Chao is still in Wuwei, and Han Sui's conspiracy is difficult to submit. Moreover, General Ma is safe and sound now. We have not suffered any major losses and can continue to enter Beijing."

Ma Teng nodded and said, "Prince Zhou is right. Everything will follow the plan. When we have enough rest, we will set off immediately."
