According to historical records, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo led nearly 100,000 troops.
They could only camp in Chencang and charge through Long Pass a few times, but they were unable to take it down.
Han Sui had always occupied the entire Liangzhou Province with Long Pass and Long County. No one could do anything to him.
"Ding…System Quest: Save Gai Xun. Obtained a set of Flaming Heavy Armor.”
Ma Feng was stunned. He did not expect the system to give him a mission at this time.
He looked down at the light armor on his body. It was indeed shabby.
The system mission was a small matter. The most important thing was to keep Gai Xun alive and protect Long County.
If Han Sui really occupied Long Pass, it would be an isolated city with only Di Dao left.
Han Sui did not need to attack. Just the siege alone would consume all of Di Dao's rations.
If that really happened, Ma Feng probably wouldn't be able to turn the tables.
After a moment of consideration, Ma Feng made a decision. He could not let Han Sui occupy Long County.
He randomly led the cavalry to rescue them.
After sprinting for two hours, Ma Feng met Gai Xun, who was constantly retreating.
Han Sui's army had not caught up yet.
Gai Xun had left 500 of his trusted aides to stop Han Sui while he led his men to retreat quickly.
How long could five hundred people hold out?
If Ma Feng had not come to rescue them, the remaining 2,000 or so people would have died on the road before they could reach Long County.
After Ma Feng led the cavalrymen to catch up, he asked loudly,"I'm Di Dao's Commandant Ma Feng.”
A burly general in his thirties walked out of the crowd with a bloodstained face. He was Gai Xun.
Gai Xun was in disbelief when he saw Ma Feng's tender face.
Gai Xun had naturally heard of Ma Feng's reputation, but he did not expect him to be so young.
"This humble one is Gai Xun. Commandant Ma is indeed young and promising. At such a young age, he is truly a pillar of our Great Han Dynasty.”
Ma Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. This praise made him feel embarrassed.
"Chief Physician Gai, now is not the time to chat. I will lead the troops to cover your retreat and quickly retreat to Long County.”
"Commandant Ma, I have no way to repay your kindness. When the rebels are pacified, I will definitely write a letter to Luoyang to beg for your life.”Gai Xun cupped his fists at Ma Feng.
Ma Feng smiled and said," There's no need to ask for orders. I'll just wait until the main registrar invites me to drink in the future. Please retreat quickly."”
Gai Xun wasn't a person who would waste time. He knew that the situation was urgent.
After giving Ma Feng another fist hug, he quickly ran away with his men.
After waiting for Gai Xun, Ma Feng shouted,""Brothers, there are tens of thousands of rebel soldiers on the other side. Are you afraid?”
"I'm not afraid. I'm willing to follow the commandant to kill the enemy." Everyone answered in unison.
"Haha, good. Follow me and meet that old thief Han Sui.”
Ma Feng led the charge, leading five thousand men to charge at Han Sui's army.
Five thousand cavalrymen, one man and two horses, accelerated at full speed, causing the ground to tremble.
The five thousand cavalrymen formed a triangular formation and charged straight at Han Sui's army.
Ma Feng led the charge, opening a path for the army. In one charge, hundreds of Han Sui soldiers died under Ma Feng's spear.
Han Sui's army had chased for dozens of kilometers and was exhausted.
Han Sui's army was caught off guard by Ma Feng's five thousand cavalry.
In one charge, Han Sui's infantry had lost almost two thousand men.
"Ma Feng brat, how dare you ruin my plans. Today, I will definitely pull out your tendons and skin you alive.”Han Sui cursed.
Ma Feng couldn't be bothered with him. After leading the cavalry to charge again, he charged out from the side, circled around, and charged again.
After three consecutive charges, he killed five to six thousand of Han Sui's soldiers.
However, Ma Feng's cavalrymen had also lost over a thousand men.
Han Sui didn't dare to advance recklessly and chose the infantry to form a formation to resist Ma Feng's charge.
He then ordered the cavalry to attack the cavalry led by Ma Feng.
Ma Feng naturally did not want to get entangled with Han Sui. After leading the army in a few circles, he led the army to retreat.
Gai Xun had been delayed for nearly four hours.
Whether Gai Xun could successfully retreat to Long County would depend on his own luck.
Han Sui gritted his teeth in anger and could only watch Ma Feng's cavalry leave.
There was no other way. Han Sui's cavalry consisted of one person and one horse. Moreover, their horses were not as good as Ma Feng's, so they could not catch up even if they wanted to.
Han Sui ordered the cavalrymen to chase after Ma Feng while he led the infantry to pursue Gai Xun.
Ma Feng led the cavalrymen to the west and laid an ambush in the Tiger Shooting Valley, killing nearly a thousand cavalrymen of Han Sui.
Then, he swaggered back to Di Dao.
A day later.
"Ding…successful rescue of Gai Xun. Reward: a set of Blazing Flame Heavy Armor.”
Gai Xun successfully retreated to Long County.
Long County had three thousand defenders, plus the two thousand defeated soldiers that Gai Xun had brought back.
Relying on Long County, they were able to hold off Han Sui's army.
However, the situation was quite dangerous. There was the danger of the city breaking at any time. After all, there were too few soldiers.
At this moment, a heavy snowfall saved Gai Xun's life.
