Zhao Yun turned around, his sword eyes shimmering, and he suddenly looked at Ma Chao in the city. The gazes of the two of them were like sparks in mid-air. Zhao Yun then hung the gun on the saddle, took a pair of five-stone bows, and took three carved arrows in his hand, and put the arrows on the bow, and the arrows were like beads, and suddenly shot at Ma Chao. I saw three arrows shot out one after another, lined up in a line, and shot towards Ma Chao. Zhao Yun's archery skills, the barbarians in the city all exclaimed unconsciously, Ma Chao's face was cold, and he also took out three arrows at the moment, and the arrows were continuous. Between the lightning and flint, six arrows collided in mid-air. After three violent sounds, a group of barbarians had not come back to their senses, and saw Zhao Yun firing four arrows in a row, each arrow shot at a very short interval, looking at Ma Chao's body to shoot at different positions. Ma Chao's lion face changed color slightly, seeing that the four arrows were shooting, Ma Chao retreated abruptly, hit the bow in a row, shot down two arrows, and avoided the two arrows, which was very dangerous. When the brutes saw this, they exclaimed in unison. Ma Chao only felt that he had lost face, and he rushed to the city in anger, facing Zhao Yun, and was about to shoot an arrow. Unexpectedly, during the collision just now, the big bow was damaged, and as soon as Ma Chao pulled the bowstring, the big bow cracked. At this moment, Zhao Yun hurriedly pulled out an arrow and shot it at Ma Chao's head. At the sound of the bowstring, when Ma Chao opened his eyes in a hurry, the arrow had already been shot, so frightened that Ma Chao lowered his head and hidden, and the arrow flew by, shooting away the red tassel on Ma Chao's helmet. The Northwest Army under the city cheered in unison. The barbarian soldiers in the city all looked horrified and dumbfounded. Ma Chao was taken aback, the secret road was steep, and he suddenly came back to his senses, and heard the violent sound of the bowstring, which frightened Ma Chao like a bird with a frightened bow, and he flashed. Knowing that Zhao Yun didn't shoot arrows at all, the northwest army under the city sneered. Ma Chao was so angry that his lion's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly.

Zhao Zilong!! Sooner or later, I will take your head!! ”

Zhao Yun's face was cold, and there was not the slightest ripple in his calm and clear sword eyes, and he glanced at Ma Chao lightly, and then withdrew his troops. Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun's eyes, only to feel that he didn't seem to put himself in his eyes at all, and he was so angry that he roared endlessly.

At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the northwest had slowly withdrawn from the camp. When Zhao Yun rushed back to the camp, it was already the beginning of the night, and the soldiers in the village were all making food. Zhao Yun rushed to meet Wen Han, and as soon as he entered the account, he saw Wen Han discussing the war with a group of civil and military personnel. After Zhao Yun bowed, he walked to the left seat and listened intently.

"In today's battle, the barbarian army suffered a lot of casualties, more than half of the casualties, if it weren't for Ma Mengqi's sudden attack, now our army would have broken through Zitong City and captured the barbarian king Meng Shu. Hum! This big-eared thief is calculating, he has repeatedly sent troops to help Nanban in the future, he must hope that Nanban can block our army for him, and when he can get time, stabilize the situation in Yizhou, so as to wait for Zhuge Kongming to transfer troops and horses from Jingzhou, and then recover Zitong and Brazil in one fell swoop!! ”

Wen Han's face was dark and full of rage, like a volcano about to erupt. Li You listened to this, frowned deeply, and said.

"The big-eared thief has such a bad heart, and the lord must not be guarded against. At present, we should quickly break through Zitong, and then prepare quickly to block Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the near future. However, at present, Ma Mengqi rushed to help the barbarian army, and it is not easy to break through Zitong City, and if the barbarian reinforcements arrive and the troops can be replenished, the battle in Zitong City will be difficult for a long time!! ”

Hearing this, Wen Han's face became even darker, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a condensed voice.

"Does Zhongwen have a plan to solve the immediate need?"

Li You pondered for a while, walked to the case in front of Wen Han, looked at the map on the case, and then fell into deep thought. Wen Han and the civil and military forces in the tent did not dare to disturb. After a while, Li You's eyes lit up, and his fingers were on the map, and he said to Wen Han.

"Rushing from the Nanban realm to Zitong, the mountains and forests here are the places where you must pass, the day before yesterday I explored the terrain here, the mountains and forests are mixed with trees, overgrown with weeds, if you attack with fire, even if it is 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Why don't the lord set up an ambush here, and wait for his reinforcements to enter this dense forest, set fire to it, and all of them will be wiped out!! ”

When Wen Han heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile. But at this moment, Zhao Yun attended and said.

"If there is no Huang Gongheng in the barbarian army, this plan may be successful. This person is very strategic, and he is extremely familiar with the land of Xichuan, and the plan of the previous military division was seen through by him. ”

Li You listened to this, but smiled indifferently and said in a condensed voice.

"General Zhao doesn't have to worry too much. You have your own strategy to deal with this person. So it will be then. He will be in the middle of the plan! ”

Li You immediately said a plan, Wen Han and Zhao Yun listened to the plan, and they all showed surprise and secretly praised it.

It is said that in Zitong City, Meng Huo is holding a banquet to entertain Ma Chao. Ma Chao's martial arts, Meng Yu saw it with his own eyes today, and he knew that the name of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao in the past was not a false name. Ma Chao only led thousands of iron cavalry, but he was able to rampage in the nearly 10,000 Northwest Army, such as entering a no-man's land, killing the Chinese army, defeating Wei Yan, and going straight to the northwest rear, if it wasn't for Zhao Yun rushing back to help, Ma Chao would kill through the rear and kill Wen Han, it was not impossible. Such a peerless general who can take the head of the enemy general within the army of ten thousand people, how can people not respect him. What's more, barbarians have always respected the strong. Meng Shu treated Ma Chao like a guest, toasted endlessly, and was full of praise. All the barbarian generals also came to respect, and the meaning of respect was undisguised. Ma Chao only felt that he had a lot of face, and his good impression of Meng Huo and other barbarians increased greatly, and those who came at the moment did not refuse, and raised a glass in return one by one. Huang Quan looked at it secretly, frowned, and silently threw a look at Ma Chao, as if to signal that Fang Jin's great enemy was in front, and he should not be greedy for alcohol and fun. Ma Chao saw it and didn't like it very much. However, he thought to himself that Huang Quan was extremely relied on by Liu Bei, and he did not dare to make a mistake, and he was said to Meng Shu.

"Although the northwest thieves are repelled today, the other army is strong, and it will come back soon. The king should prepare for war as soon as possible to ensure that Zitong is not lost. ”

When Meng Shu heard this, he laughed, raised his glass and said.

"Hahaha. Fortunately, Uncle Liu Huang was benevolent and righteous, and sent the general to rescue, the general was so brave that he could be described as unparalleled in the world, as far as I can see, compared to the general Lu Fengxian in the past. There is a general sitting in Zitong, why should I be worried!? ”

As soon as Meng Huo's voice fell, the barbarian generals echoed one after another. Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard it, laughed happily, drank a few cups, and felt very happy. Seeing this, Huang Quan frowned, and hurriedly attended.

"If the king is so indulgent and has no worries, Zitong will definitely be broken by the Northwest Thief Army in the near future!!"

As soon as Huang Quan said this, the faces of everyone at the table suddenly changed. Meng Shu was very displeased, turned to look at Huang Quan, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"Oh? What did Huang Gong say!? ”

Huang Quan bowed his hand, unmoved by Meng Shu's anger, and said in a condensed voice.

"Although our army repelled the thieves in the northwest today, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and almost half of the 6,000 soldiers were lost, and now with the thousands of soldiers and horses led by General Ma, the strength is only more than 5,000 people. If the thieves from the northwest come to attack, what should they do?! ”

Ma Chao listened to the words, made a move, and shouted.

"The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if they dare to come, they will have their own generals to fight and kill them!!"

When Meng Shu heard this, he grinned loudly, and he didn't expect to praise Ma Chao again. Huang Quan listened, but still had that expressionless look, and said slowly.

"Forgive Huang's offense, although General Ma has peerless martial arts, his army also has Zhao Zilong, a victorious general. General Ma has fought dozens of battles with him in recent years, but he has never gained the upper hand. If there is a loss, what should be done!? ”

"Yellow! Public! Across! Is it possible for you to say that I am not Zhao Zilong's opponent!? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was like an evil dragon that had been touched by the scales, and he was angry, his eyes were red, his fingers were yellow, and he roared angrily. Huang Quan was not afraid and stared at Ma Chao. Seeing this, Meng Yu hurriedly persuaded the two to retreat, and then said to Huang Quan.

"Huang Gong doesn't have to worry too much. Although our army is now a meager force, it has the solid city of Zitong City to defend, and there is General Ma in charge, and the thieves in the northwest are very powerful, and it is difficult to break through Zitong within a few days. And a few days later, presumably our army reinforcements have rushed to the realm of Zitong, and when the troops can be replenished, Zitong will be foolproof! ”

Huang Quan listened, muttered for a while, and no longer persuaded him, sighed and left. Meng Shousui and Ma Chao and a group of soldiers drank and had fun, and did not disperse until the third watch in the evening.

The next day, it was just noon. Zhao Yun led a group of soldiers and horses to the foot of Zitong City, set up a formation, beat drums, and bluntly said that the war horses were super. After a while, Ma Chao led his troops out, and the two armies faced each other. The two of them did not answer, and suddenly their horses flew up with spears, and they fought in front of the battle. The two of them killed dozens of rounds, and the guns fought faster and faster, and the sergeants of both armies were stunned. However, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao became more and more courageous, and they were exhausted, as if they had inexhaustible strength. Bursts of gun collisions rang out continuously, and the shadows of the guns were like lightning, and the collision kept coming. Seeing that the two of them had killed for dozens of rounds, Ma Chao suddenly stabbed a shot, knocked out of the formation, and dragged the gun away.

Zhao Yun saw through Ma Chao's treacherous plan, reined in the horse, hung the gentian bright silver spear on the saddle, put the arrow on the bow, and shot at Ma Chao's back. The sound of the bowstring exploded, Ma Chao heard the sound, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around and stabbed out, hitting the cold arrow shot by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun then fired another arrow to shoot, and Ma Chao rushed back into the formation. In the formations of the two armies, the horns of the golden troops were sounded, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao each retreated.

This was the end of the one-day battle. On the coming day, Zhao Yun led troops to plunder the battle again, Ma Chao heard it, and his fighting spirit was high, so he ordered his troops and horses, rushed out of the city, and rushed to meet the battle. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came out one after another, two peerless spears, endlessly clashing, each of them used all their best to fight, from noon to night, nearly 300 rounds, and the sergeants of the two armies were also troubled to see. I saw that Ma Chao avoided Zhao Yun's stabbing shot again, and swept the gun away angrily. Zhao Yun drew a gun to block it, Ma Chao took the opportunity to retreat, and the lion was a little tired in his face, and shouted.

"Zhao Zilong! Will you dare to fight me for three more rounds tomorrow!? ”

Zhao Yun's cold face also showed a little tiredness, and he replied coldly.

"I'm afraid you won't dare to fight tomorrow!!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he smiled coldly, and then rushed back to the formation, collected the army and returned. Meng Yu saw that Ma Chao was so brave, and he was able to kill as much as Zhao Yun, and admired him even more, and held banquets for days to entertain him. Ma Chao was very proud, and even said to Meng Shu and other barbarian generals that within three days, he would definitely defeat Zhao Yun.

In the next two days, Zhao Yun came to the city to plunder the battle, Ma Chao repeatedly responded to the battle, the two fought under the city of Zitong for four or five days, when the attention of the barbarian army was almost focused on the fierce battle between the two, Huang Quan felt that it was inappropriate, and after the fierce battle between the two every day, Huang Quan looked like a deep frown. Meng You secretly noticed it, so he came to see Huang Quan, and Huang Quan led Meng You into the hall and finished the salute. Meng You opened his mouth and asked.

"Seeing Huang Gong for the past few days, his brows are deeply locked, do you have doubts?"

When Huang Quan heard this, his eyes, which were originally without ripples, couldn't help but rise a little different, and secretly sighed that Meng You had a unique vision, observed things carefully, and did not hide it at the moment, and replied.

"It's true. Seeing that this Zhao Zilong has been fighting with General Ma for several days, other than that, the Northwest Army has not moved, which is really weird. It stands to reason that although the Northwest Army has the upper hand, it is short of food.
