"Newspaper~"

"General, the four doors of Chen Cang are open, and it seems that there is no one to guard them!"

"What's going on? Can someone enter the city to investigate? ”

"This ......"

How could Ma Chao not understand that because they were afraid of death, they didn't go to investigate, and the anger in his heart suddenly couldn't stop, and shouted: "Waste! If there is no specific news before dark, you can apologize for your crimes! ”

"Ah...... Yes, General! ”

"Newspaper~"

One retreated, and the other returned.

"General, there seems to be a large number of Ming troops rushing to Baoxie Road!"

"What?" Ma Chao immediately lost his voice and said, "How many people are there for sure?" ”

"Judging from the hoof prints on the ground, there should be no less than 50,000!"

"Fifty thousand?"

Ma Chao was shocked again, but then he noticed the difference, and asked, "Hoof prints?" You mean it's all cavalry? ”

"That's right."

Ma Dai was also a little out of breath and asked, "Big brother, what should I do now?" ”

Ma Chao calmed down slightly and said, "Let's look at the situation of Chen Cang first!" ”

"Oh, big brother, don't worry about Chen Cang, if Hanzhong is lost, it will be a big trouble." Ma Dai said urgently.

Ma Chao was also anxious, glared at Ma Dai, and said, "What's the use of being anxious?" Chen Cang is an important place for soldiers, if you don't find out clearly, how much better do you think it is better than losing Hanzhong? ”

"Forehead ......" Ma Dai retreated.

Sunset, ride home.

"Newspaper~"

"General Qiyu, there is no Ming army in Chencang City. As far as the people know, this morning the Ming army suddenly retreated and disappeared. ”

"Damn, you've been tricked! Stalling for time~"

Ma Chao was furious and shouted, "Where is Ma Dai? ”

"General, Admiral!"

"Let you recover Chencang, and when Chencang is settled, he will quickly lead the troops to Hanzhong. Ben is going to defeat all the Ming troops in Hanzhong to raise the prestige of our army! ”

"Yes, General." Ma Dai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Ma Dai led his troops into the city overnight and took over Chencang, and he was very busy. Ma Chao set off early the next morning along the Baoxian Road and returned to Hanzhong.

Ma Chao walked for a long time, and Ma Dai was temporarily empty.

"Suffered!"

Ma Dai didn't rest for a while, so he patted his head and said hurriedly: "I sent a letter to General Pang but didn't reply, I'm afraid there is a problem in Hanzhong, and it is likely that Xiegu Pass has been taken!" ”

Without waiting for Ma Dai to send the news, there was a sudden chaos in the city, and a large number of Ming troops appeared out of nowhere.

By the time Ma Dai got the news, Li Ru had already led people into the county mansion.

The backyard of the prefectural government.

Ma Dai, and dozens of guards were surrounded by them.

"General Ma Dai, if you are captured, you may be spared, if not, you will be killed!" Li Ru stood alone at the gate of the courtyard and said calmly.

Ma Dai stopped the guards who were about to move, and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”：

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, a certain is Li Ru and Li Wenyou!"

"Li Ru?"

Ma Dai trembled when he heard this name, when Dong Zhuowei shook the West Liang, Li Ru killed people without seeing blood, which was terrifying. It can be said that many people are afraid that Li Ru is even worse than Dong Zhuo, and Ma Dai is just one of them.

The shadow of childhood is a lifetime of fear!

Fortunately, years of experience have made Ma Dai's mind much stronger, and he still said to himself: "Don't think that you can take Chen Cang by catching the general, there are still two thousand of our Xiliang troops in the city, as long as they get the news and rush over, when the time comes~"

The threat is beyond words!

Li Ru smiled disdainfully and said, "Idiot! ”

Then, with a cold face, he ordered: "Except for Ma Dai, all the rest are killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Under Ma Dai's complexion, the crossbow arrows flew out, and without giving him the slightest chance to react, he shot all the guards on his side.

"You ......" Ma Dai glared at Li Ru angrily and said with hatred, "It's really vicious!" ”

"Heh, Li has given you a chance." Li Ru smiled lightly, "It's a pity, you don't know what to do!" ”

Ma Dai was suddenly trembling with anger.

"you!"

As soon as Ma Dai rushed out a few steps, he was shrouded in a large net and was directly captured.

"Ouch!"

Li Ru approached with a smile and sighed, "Where did this fish come from?" How did you fall into the net? ”

"Li Ru, you can't die well......"

The person who could tie Ma Dai couldn't tie his mouth, so he scolded directly. The soldiers around him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Li Ruhun didn't care, and said: "Scold slowly, wait for Ma Chao to send it in two days, and you two brothers will scold slowly together, so you can still take shifts~"

"You ......" Ma Dai was almost angry to death, but then secretly prayed: Big brother, you have to be careful, the Ming army is cheating!

Li Ru seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and said abruptly: "Don't think about it, no one will escape from here and report to Ma Chao." ”

Ma Dai suddenly saw that Li Ru was like a snake and scorpion, and his face was full of panic.

……

On the slanted road, Ma Chao is still galloping, neither in front of him nor behind him.

Halfway through the road, several groups of spies sent one after another did not reply at all, and Ma Chao finally realized that something was wrong. After another day, he came to the valley pass.

At the juncture, Huang Zhong stood in the wind and shouted in a deep voice: "Ma Mengqi, the governor of Pontus has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Ma was shocked and asked, "Who is Ernai?" ”

"Governor Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng!"

"It's you! Hahaha! ”

Ma Chao was not surprised, and exclaimed: "It's you, an old horseman?" Okay, okay, the old horseman got out and died, Ben Jiang wanted to see if the so-called first military general of the Han Dynasty could take over Ben General's tiger head Zhan Golden Gun! ”

Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think: Is this product crazy? Oh...... No, this guy is not crazy, but wants to step on Huang's reputation to get on the throne! Hehe, the person is not big, but the heart is quite big! The gall is fat enough!

"Ma Mengqi, since you want to die, then the governor of Bendu will fulfill you!"

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and went down the gate, and rode out of the gate with three hundred essences.

Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately came out of the crowd and said coldly: "Old horseman, just bring such a little people?" Aren't you afraid that Ben will give an order and rush up to kill you? ”

"Huh!"

Huang Zhong sneered: "Could it be that you know in your own heart, why bother pretending there." ”

"You ......"

Ma Chao was angry, and seeing Huang Zhong's face full of disdain, he immediately couldn't bear it anymore and urged the horse to run away.

"The old horseman is dead!"

"I'm afraid you won't make it!"

Huang Zhong also urged the horse to go up and fought with Ma Chao.

After more than ten battles, it was on par, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, and said secretly: This guy is much more advanced than Pang Lingming's martial arts! It's just that why does His Majesty value Pound more?

The shock in Ma Chao's heart was even worse: this old man is close to his sixtieth birthday, but he still has such martial arts, what kind of bravery should he be ten or twenty years ago? Could it be that this is the strength of the world's number one general?

After thinking about it, Ma Chao didn't want to admit defeat, but his mind froze, and he broke out his remaining strength again and strengthened the offensive.

"Huh? Still have energy? ”

Huang Zhong was taken aback, and he felt caught off guard, but fortunately, his rich experience allowed him to respond in a timely manner. It was a bit of a rush at first, but after a few moves, I got used to it.

The powerful burst accelerated Ma Chao's physical exertion. So Huang Zhong was not in a hurry, maintaining the battle situation and continuing to consume Ma Chao's physical strength.

Ma Chao sensed Huang Zhong's malice, but at this time, he was already difficult to ride a tiger, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to. Because—

"Hahaha, refreshing!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly and sped up the attack speed, so that Ma Chao had to passively take over. It was faster than Ma Chao's active outbreak before, so he was very reluctant to pick it up, and the consumption was greater.

After more than ten times in the past, Ma Chao felt that he was already difficult to support, and at most less than thirty times he would completely fall into the disadvantage, and then failure was in sight.

What to do?

Ma Chao's mind turned sharply, but he couldn't, so he had to bite, fight to get injured, and stab the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun at Huang Zhong's throat.

Huang Zhong is so experienced, how can he not understand what Ma Chao thinks, but Ma Chao's martial arts are really high enough, and the timing is also very good, at this time, he can't return to defense in time, and if he wants to avoid this fatal killing move, he can only keep a distance.

That's it! Anyway, you can't escape now if you want to, so let you make a move!

Huang Zhong decisively distanced himself and dodged this fatal shot.

"Driving~"

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he saw it and hurriedly withdrew. Huang Zhong looked at his back, his fingers moved, and finally-

"Forget it, if you hurt people in your back, you can't be considered a hero."

Thinking about it, Huang Zhong also quickly retreated to the gate. Re-ascended to the wall, Huang Zhong stared at Ma Chao and the others who were retreating, and said lightly: "Send a signal!" ”

"Yes, Governor."

Boom, boom, boom ~ bang, bang, bang ~

Three brilliant fireworks exploded in the air.

"What's that?"

Ma Chao turned around in surprise, but heard-

"Kill, don't go Ma Chao!"

Ma Chao looked back again, looking ahead, there was a heavy army attacking and killing, looking at the outfit, it was no different from the person brought by Huang Zhong.

"Ming Army? That Chen Cang ......"

Ma Chao didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”

In the panic, before the Xiliang army could complete the formation, the Ming army that had been killed from behind had already rushed over under the command of Li Ru.

The more than 2,000 Xiliang troops in front of them were immediately scattered, and they had no power to fight back.

"Damn! Stabilize the general, quickly form a formation, and don't mess ......"

Ma Chao shouted one after another, making the surrounding soldiers much more stable, and the formation gradually formed. It's just that his heart is getting colder and colder, and he suddenly looks back at the looming sloping valley pass.

"Was that a arraignment before? That means you're coming too? ”

Thinking of this, Ma Chao's eyes were a little more confused: Is it true that I, Ma Mengqi, am going to die here today?
