Chapter 44 No one can escape
Thousands of Qiang soldiers, under constant orders from behind, charged densely towards the compound of the noble family.
But at this time, the homes of these famous families in Longxi County are no longer as simple as before.
Military crossbows were constantly protruding from the wall, and countless Qiang people fell on the charging road. On the narrow streets, countless well-equipped private soldiers stood ready, and the leading warriors even wore black armor.
Their sophisticated equipment has a strong advantage against the Qiang people who use bone arrows on the opposite side. The Qiang people were like moths flying to the flame, constantly attacking and then being easily strangled.
Obviously Wu Yong had already considered whether the Qiang people would fall out and had made all preparations. After all, as a wealthy family that always seeks stability, he would not dare to let the barbarians enter the city without being fully prepared.
It can be seen from the sophistication of the equipment and martial arts of these private soldiers that the aristocratic families are much more powerful than the county soldiers.
This is why the family has always considered whether they dare to kill Ma Di rather than whether they can. With the few troops Ma Su had, the family was really no match if they were serious.
But this time, Wu Yong missed something, that is, he underestimated the determination of the Qiang leader to destroy them.
Even though the family's private soldiers had killed hundreds of Qiang people, the Qiang soldiers who followed were still swarming in. The leader of the Qiang tribe was probably stupid because of his reading, and he attacked with all his might without regard to casualties.
The family's private soldiers totaled hundreds of people, and they seemed to be powerless in the face of more and more Qiang soldiers.
If there are enough moths, they can burst the flame.
"Damn it! Could it be that these Qiang soldiers were infected by Ma Su? They are all crazy!" Wu Yong had cold sweat on his forehead at this time. He found that everything had changed since Ma Su came.
The tried and tested methods for dealing with foreign officials in the past have all failed, making it easy for trippers to get into trouble. Now even the cowardly and timid Qiang people in the past have changed and become crazy like Ma Di.
"Why don't you just go and kill Ma Su? As soon as Ma Su dies, we will immediately withdraw from the county and give you everything we want."
"Why do you have to come and fight with us!"
Although Wu Yong found it increasingly difficult to understand, he knew that if he didn't make a retreat, something might happen to his family.
"Fortunately, I have planned an escape route, otherwise I would probably be left here by these barbarians." Wu Yong sighed. At this time, for the first time, he had doubts about the strategies he had mastered over the years.
Now that the world is so magical, all previous strategies are no longer useful.

"So they are planning to take advantage of others?" After listening to the report, Ma Di fell silent, shocked and unable to accept it.
Those aristocratic families who like to calculate everything got out of hand, and the Qiang people they recruited actually fell out with them. The two factions ignored him, the core figure of the conflict, and started fighting separately.
If you don't look at me, I'm not dead yet!
If you two want to fight, wouldn't it be safer to deal with me first and then fight?
"Prefect, we found that the private soldiers of the aristocratic family are gradually retreating towards the south gate." Lieutenant General Song Hui rushed back at this time and reported the latest battle situation to Ma Su.
"It seems that the people of the aristocratic family can no longer bear it and are gradually retreating. However, their personnel are very neat and there are basically not many family members, so the Qiang people can't do anything to them for a while."
"That's not certain. A family with such a thieves must have been prepared in advance. The family members may have moved away a few days ago." Ma Di gritted his teeth and sighed, secretly sighing why it was so difficult for him to die.
Not only is Ma Su unable to die, but Ma Di is now ignored by others even if he wants to die.
"No! With so many private soldiers at the hands of the family, there is probably a lot of evidence of crimes hidden away. If they were allowed to escape, they would have time to destroy the evidence or even rebel directly. It would be troublesome to deal with them again."
"It's best to annihilate them all today. I, Ma Su, will never let them escape!" Taking a step back, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Finally, Ma Su slapped his thigh hard and said angrily.
"Everyone, I will lead the troops to fight and march quickly to the south gate. We must not let the people of the noble family escape!"
"Today either we will die or the Qiang people and the aristocratic family will die. I will never let them go!"
Facing Ma Su's order, the Shu soldiers did not have any objections and quickly set off in formation.
They have strict military discipline and can march much faster than the private soldiers of aristocratic families who retreat while fighting. After making a big circle, Ma Su finally arrived at the south gate before the family and reorganized at the gate.
As soon as Ma Su was in formation, the men and horses of the noble family arrived, and happened to meet Ma Su's men.
"Ma Su?" The head of the Wu family turned the corner with his private soldiers, and happened to see Ma Su's pale face, and his anger suddenly soared. But his old drama allowed him to hold back his anger and just looked at Ma Su calmly and said.
"Ma Su! You didn't go to suppress the Qiang people who entered the city, but you are still cowering here. Are the imperial officials so greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Master Wu, stop pretending when you've reached this point." Ma Di didn't take it seriously and looked at Master Wu with a smile on his horse.
"Not to mention the fact that you led the Qiang soldiers into the city, just the fact that you secretly hid Xuanjiayin to raise the dead soldiers is enough for you to annihilate the three tribes."
"There's no need to pretend, let's fight to the death!"
Ma Su's words made Wu Yong completely defeated. He could no longer hide the murderous intent in his eyes and said through gritted teeth.
"Ma Su! Our Wu family has no enmity or grudge against you, why are you pressing so hard? Our Wu family has expressed to you many times that we are willing to surrender. Whatever you say will be yours."
"But you just weren't willing to let us live. In the end, you even came up with the land equalization method!"
"What on earth do you want to do!!"
The head of the Wu family couldn't bear it anymore. Ma Su, a freak, was the biggest reason why he got to this point. Now when enemies meet, they are really jealous, no matter how sane they are, they can't bear it.
"There is no point in saying this. Master Wu, you are finished." Ma Su said calmly without being anxious.
"Now, as long as I, Ma Su, am still alive, don't even think about leaving here. Wait patiently for the Qiang people to kill you, or for my reinforcements to arrive and kill you."
"Then you go die!" The head of the Wu family had no other thoughts at this time and just wanted to kill Ma Su.
When Ma Su saw the strength of their private armed forces, it was basically over, unless they killed Ma Su and everyone present.
"Kill them all! Seize the road and run away!" Wu Yong gave the final order, and the private soldiers of several major families in Longxi rushed out to attack Ma Su.
"It's finally over." Ma Di took a long breath. Looking at the private soldiers on the opposite side who were much stronger than his own, Ma Di was ready to lead the soldiers for a final charge.
However, before Ma Su could charge, he heard a loud roar from the city behind him!
"Fire arrows! Shoot the rebels!!"
