Chapter 219, the items to be named are to be modified, and the items to be named are to be modified

After a short time, the corner flags and golden drums were all in place, and several generals under Ma Chao's command took their positions and began to convey his orders, ordering everyone to change formations and practice. Qi Han was in one place with some wounded soldiers, responsible for changing the stone pile, he stood not far away and looked at it, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

These people were already discouraged, but Ma Chao brought back the drinking water and food in the spring lake, which lifted their spirits, and at this time they were full of ambition to lead them to train, perhaps the commanders and deputy generals were full of confidence on their faces, infected with the morale of the cavalry, and for a while, everyone was high-spirited, bent on winning, and in this desperate situation bred infinite courage.

On this night, more than 600 people really worked together, practiced hard, became familiar with the flags and drums, and did not tire out.

Ma Chao has stayed up for two nights without sleeping, a pair of eyes are as red as a rabbit, but the spirit is bright, the eyes are fierce, in the early morning, he saw the dense fog around the Kip Dao Valley, a white expanse, the stone formation is hidden in it, it is difficult to distinguish the situation, more and more happy, secretly thought: "This is also the same as the 'drought array' said in the 'If you want to fight in the field, you must set up an ambush according to the situation. If there is no danger in the land, it will be hidden in the cloudy weather and fog, and if it is taken by surprise and attacked by slackness, it can be meritorious! God will help me!" The cavalrymen were tired all night, and they were already tired, so he ordered everyone to rest for a while and then conduct the drill.

After a hasty rest for a long time, Ma Chao called up the whole camp again and practiced under the strong midday sun until nightfall.

After practicing like this for two days, the formation became more and more proficient. By the third day, the rumors gradually felt that something was wrong, and some scouts reported that they had seen a large number of people in the distance, as if they had been discovered by the scouts of Yan Xing's patrol.

Ma Chao listened to the return, squinted his eyes slightly, hooked his lips to one side, and said with an evil smile: "I'm afraid that he won't come!"

On this day and night, the starry sky was full of stars, and the spies returned with horses, and Yan Xing's army of more than 20,000 people, the main army was divided into four roads, from the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest, along the Kip Road Valley, towards the pass.

Ma Chao was ambitious, standing in the middle of the Chinese army, on the sand dunes, the point was about to be completed, each team of people and horses were ready, and the flag was violated, and he said loudly: "In the past, there were Guangwu Emperor Yuntai generals descending according to the stars of the sky, assisting the prosperous times, and today the array we have laid out, although it is not as wonderful as the twenty-eight nights of the great array, but it will also build miraculous feats! Today, I will form a battle with all the kings, listen to my orders, and fight to the death with that Yan Xing!"

Everyone was touched by his words, and they were all heroic, and they responded in unison, like thunder, shouting: "The man of the Ma family, he is not afraid of death!"

Ma Chao waved the flag, and in the sound of the golden drum, everyone suddenly formed a formation, turned into six-way soldiers and horses, and lined up.

Qi Han and the wounded soldiers who lost their horses, each carrying a long log, stood in the stone formation, and drove into the sand as a pile, one in the east and one in the west, which seemed to be out of order, but in fact, it was all according to the five elements taught in the formation, and the formation could be changed at any time.

Yan Xing's army covered up, but saw a pile of rocks and vertical trees in front of him, with an open pattern and an extremely wide area, which looked very strange. Yan Xing was suspicious in his heart, so he ordered to stop his position and send someone to take a closer look.

When the cavalry approached, he couldn't help but be surprised to see that Ma Chao's remnants were all standing in the middle of the rocks, a handful of east and west, and not forming a queue. And those stones and trees were stained with blood, and they were the rolling stones and wood that they had worked so hard to transport from afar to attack Ma Chao.

Yan Xing listened to the report, and was a little suspicious in his heart, and immediately ordered to stand by on the spot, but he rode lightly to the front of the formation and shouted into the rocks: "Ma Mengqi, when did you learn to be a turtle, hide your head and shrink your tail, and dare not come out to fight with me?"

But he saw Ma Chao suddenly turn out from behind the stone pile, riding on a white horse, the silver spear in his hand pointed obliquely, under the moonlight, heroic posture, shouted loudly: "Yan Yanming, why did you come unfortunately? Our army is making food, and after the food is over, I will kill you without leaving a piece of armor." How dare you wait?"

Yan Xing hated him the most for being rampant, and when he heard this, he knew that he was agitating the general, but he still couldn't swallow it, and said loudly: "You, the general of the defeated army, still dare to speak bravely? I will wait here to see how you can escape today and avoid death." ”

Ma Chao listened, didn't argue with him, sneered, and turned back to the back of the stone pile.

Yan Xing's sharp eyes swept around to observe the movement, and he noticed something strange in his heart, but after thinking about it, he had 20,000 people, but Ma Chao only had a few hundred, so what was he afraid of?

This time, no matter what, he won't let this guy escape again.

About half an hour passed, and the sky gradually darkened, and a thick white mist rose around Kip Dao Valley, including above the mud in front of it. The night is at its peak in the cold, and a new day is about to dawn.

Yan Xingben was resting under the horse, the mist gradually invaded his body, and his nose was stained with a layer of moist coolness, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly felt bad.

His eyes opened, and a strong intuition hit him, unsettling him.

Could it be that Ma Chao wants to take advantage of this fog to escape from the conflict?

He frowned, straightened his helmet, and hurriedly turned over on his horse, not planning to give the other party any more time to prepare for the escape, and was about to give the order to attack, but at this moment, Ma Chao suddenly laughed in the pile of rocks, and said in a long voice: "Yan Yanming, come to battle!" In the arrogant voice, there was a faint figure in front of him, and sure enough, there was a trace of more than 600 cavalrymen, and he was really lined up and waiting for him near the pile of stones.

Yan Xing's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, where the flag danced, the orders were passed down one by one, and for a while, the horns moved, the war drums thundered, and the shouts were loud, and the archers on all sides shot countless arrows first.

Ma Chao saw that the enemy was menacing, and wanted to move the position several times, but Yan Xing's bow and arrows were sufficient, and he kept shooting, and he led the army several times to start the formation, but they were all shot back behind the stone platform by the rain of arrows.

The army is covered, but he can't give the order to activate the formation, how can this be?!

Just when he was anxiously worried, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a person behind the pile of stones in front of him, and Ma Chao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

- But when he saw the black boy's low body and a pile of stones, his thin figure remained motionless, and he was sitting on his own face. His expression was so indifferent and quiet, as if he was not in the dangerous battle array, but still under the blue sky of the quiet spring lake. His eyes were deep and quiet, like a deep pool with whirlpools, cold, quiet, and calm.

Ma Chao's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The first time he set up a formation to meet the enemy, there was a huge disparity between the enemy and me, he was inevitably anxious, and in his anxiety, he actually forgot that the key to the victory and defeat this time was not the time to set up the formation, but the timing, he was so uncalm, but even this kid was not as good. 166 Reading Network
