Volume 1 The Descendants of the Dream Chapter 49 Prestige
Besides, Xiahou Yuan fell into the siege of Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and others, and thought that he would definitely die, but sooner or later. Just as he was about to give up treatment, he suddenly heard the continuous sound of horses' hooves coming from the direction of Cao Ying. He was overjoyed and suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive.
"The lord has come to the rescue of us, and the brothers have resisted me!"
Cao's soldiers also heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then heard Xiahou Yuan's shout, and their morale was suddenly shocked, and many soldiers used their own flesh and blood to desperately resist the cavalry's charge. After all, Ma Chao's cavalry was not a real Xiliang iron cavalry, and they began to hesitate in the face of the Cao soldiers who were not afraid of death.
At this time, Ma Chao also got up from the ground, and as soon as he changed horses, he felt the change in the tide of battle. He couldn't help but be anxious, if he couldn't take Xiahou Yuan at this moment, when Cao Jun's support arrived, there would be no chance. So he looked around the battlefield, found Xiahou Yuan's position, and immediately rode away.
"Let me come!"
Xiahou Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Ma Chao's voice again, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. The lord's support can only be heard, not seen yet, it will take a certain amount of time to really reach the battlefield, is he really going to die outside Hanzhong City today?
Hearing Ma Chao's shout, Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and others rode their horses to the side, but they didn't leave, but just blocked Xiahou Yuan's retreat.
Ma Chao didn't want to give Xiahou Yuan another chance to sigh about his life, he was attacked by Xiahou Yuan's cold arrow just now, and he was already angry in his heart, and he was going to be ashamed this time.
Ma Chao once had two spears, one of which was called the "Tiger Head Zhan Golden Gun", the body of which was made of cold iron, which was longer than ordinary guns. Moreover, the shape of the gun head is in the shape of a black gold tiger head, and the gun body is also plated with a layer of gold, which is extremely sharp, which is comparable to the "overlord gun" of the former Chu overlord. He usually loves this gun very much, and he is reluctant to carry it with him, and when he fled from Xiliang, he left it at home, and he doesn't know who got it now.
The second gun is called "Five Hooks God Flying Bright Silver Gun", the shape of this gun is not much different from the ordinary bright silver gun, but there are 5 barbs hidden in the gun, and when the enemy is against people, it can be taken by surprise and give a fatal blow. What Ma Chao held in his hand was this "Five-Hook Divine Flying Silver Spear", he was a bright and upright person, and he had never used the mechanism inside the gun to plot against the enemy. However, tonight he made up his mind to let Xiahou Yuan also taste the taste of being attacked by someone.
When Xiahou Yuan saw Ma Chao stabbing with a spear, he could only bite the bullet. He had fought a series of battles before, and now he was at the end of his crossbow, relying on the dawn brought by Cao Cao's reinforcements to support him. After only a dozen rounds of fighting, the big knife in Xiahou Yuan's hand flew into the air again, this time it was not he who took the initiative to throw the knife, but was picked up by Ma Chao.
Xiahou Yuan's hand was empty, and he subconsciously touched the crossbow arrow on his waist. Ma Chao saw it clearly, he hurriedly rotated the tail of the gun hard, and with a crisp click, five hooked thorns shot out from the head of the gun. The sound of breaking the air close at hand shocked Xiahou Yuan's soul, and as soon as he set up the crossbow arrow, he was hit by a hook and thorn in the moment he raised his head. With 5 crisp sounds in a row, Xiahou Yuan's throat, hands and chest were pierced with barbs. Scarlet blood flowed down the barb, Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened, but his throat could only utter ho, ho, ho, ho......
Ma Chao's divine power is unparalleled, and he actually picked Xiahou Yuan in the air with one shot.
"Xiahou Yuan is dead, why don't you surrender?"
"What? General Xiahou Yuan is actually dead! ”
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"General Xiahou Yuan......"
Just when Cao Jun was grieving, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from Hanzhong City, and I saw that the jack gate blocking the city gate was slowly lifting, obviously the Cao army in the city had been cleared, and then they were about to face the situation of being attacked from both sides.
In a war against time, whoever stands first will be better. As the city gate opened, the musical instruments on the city wall were also lifted down, and then the dense Hanzhong defenders appeared at the top of the wall.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The Cao army lost their main general, and they were attacked from front to back, and they screamed again and again for a while, except for the bow and crossbow battalion, they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
"Big brother, the situation is not good!"
Ma Dai was very worried, although the current situation was very good, when the cavalry supported by Cao's army arrived, all their horses outside the city would be in danger.
Of course, Ma Chao knew what Ma Dai meant, he drew his sword and cut off Xiahou Yuan's head, and then threw it to Ma Dai:
"Those who surrender will be driven into Hanzhong, and those who resist will be killed!"
"No!"
Ma Dai did not dislike the bloody head, and raised the result in his hand and shouted:
"Xiahou Yuan's head is here, those who abandon their weapons and surrender immediately enter Hanzhong, and dare to resist and kill!"
After explaining the matter here, Ma Chao rode out on a single horse, and crossed the only way for Cao Jun's support.
"Big brother, I'll accompany you!"
Seeing Ma Yunlu coming to his side, Ma Chao nodded, he did not refuse, once the children of their Ma family went to the battlefield, they would never be indecisive.
The moonlight shines through the clouds and illuminates the night sky. It's close, it's finally close, 50,000 Xiliang cavalry galloped over, when Pang De, Yan Xing, and Cheng Gongying saw the two under the moonlight, they were stunned, and couldn't help but quickly stop the cavalry in the charge.
"The eldest son, the third young lady, is it really you?"
When Pang De saw Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu, tears couldn't help but flash in his eyes. When Xiliang City was broken, he happened to be seriously ill in bed, and he could only watch Ma Teng die, and Cao Cao broke into the city. After Cao Cao entered the city, he ordered the Ma family to be killed, and he thought that the Ma family's bloodline would be cut off, so he surrendered to Cao Cao.
Pound didn't expect him to see Ma Chao's brothers and sisters again today. He blamed himself at the moment, he actually surrendered to Cao Cao, and made a promise of allegiance to Cao Cao. Pang De attaches the most importance to faith and righteousness in his life, and since he has recognized the new lord Cao Cao, he will never betray him. But in the face of the old master's bloodline, as if it was close at hand yesterday, he was also in a dilemma when he hesitated, and he didn't know what to do.
Ma Chao didn't expect that the leader of Cao Cao's newly formed Xiliang cavalry would actually be Pang De. Although Pang De is not a member of the Ma family, he grew up with Ma Chao's brothers and sisters since he was a child, only 3 years older than Ma Chao, and has always been regarded as a brother by them. But now that each is his master and sees each other on the battlefield, Ma Chao will not have a love affair with children. I saw him holding a gun and pointing at Pound from afar.
"Brother Ling Ming, I didn't expect to see you again today, you and I are already enemies. Cao Cao killed my father and took away my Xiliang, this revenge is not shared, since you have recognized him as the master, then let the horse come! ”
Hearing Ma Chao's words, Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying also looked at each other, although they were not as close to the Ma family as Pang De, but they had also received the favor of the Ma family, and now they were actually going to attack their old master on the battlefield, and they couldn't help but blush. However, they had no intention of returning to Ma Chao's command, so they had to remain silent and wait for Pang De's order.
Unlike Pang De, Yan Xing, and Cheng Gongying, the discussion of the Xiliang cavalry has exploded. Many of them are the old units of the Xiliang cavalry, and some even have fought with Ma Chao, and the name of "Xiliang Jin Ma Chao" has long been deeply rooted in their hearts. Most of the Xiliang cavalry are Qiang people, the style of martial arts prevails, and they worship the strong the most, and the loyalty and righteousness of the Han people are a fart in their opinion. They only recognize fists, women, and food. In their opinion, Ma Chao is not only his former boss, but also more powerful than Pang De, Yan Xing, and Cheng Gongying, and many people have moved to follow Ma Chao's mind.
Hearing the discussion behind him, Pang De also sighed in his heart, he was temporarily appointed by Cao Cao as the commander of the Xiliang cavalry, and many people were not convinced, especially those veterans who had followed Ma Teng and Ma Chao, and they didn't take him seriously at all. He thought for a moment, and finally hugged his fist at Ma Chao and said:
"Eldest prince, Pang De has an order this time, just welcome back General Xiahou Yuan, and we will retreat immediately, I don't know if it can be convenient?"
Hearing Pound's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but sneer.
"Oh, do you want to save Xiahou Yuan? Have you forgotten how many Western Liang cavalry his bow battalion had killed? ”
"Yes, my eldest brother was shot to death by Xiahou Yuan's bow and crossbow battalion!"
"Damn, Lao Tzu's ass was also shot with an arrow, and now it still hurts to ride a horse!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't want to save Xiahou Yuan, Lao Tzu wants to follow the eldest son, who else wants to go?"
Hearing this person's words, many veterans' hearts lit up, and they immediately looked at the newcomers around them vigilantly, looking at this posture, as long as they had the opportunity, they would turn against each other.
The discussion behind him made Pound very embarrassed, and Ma Chao's words made him feel very guilty. He took a deep breath, suppressed the entanglement in his heart, and said hard:
"Eldest prince, if you refuse to get out of the way, then I have to offend!"
"Hehe, Brother Ling Ming, don't you just want Xiahou Yuan? What's so hard about this, I'll give him to you! Ma Chao whispered a few words to Ma Yunlu next to him, Ma Yunlu frowned slightly after hearing this, but he still went obediently.
After a while, a war horse came running in the distance, and I saw a corpse on the horse's back, and everyone could see clearly in the bright moonlight that it was a headless corpse. Ma Chao picked up the silver spear in his hand, and the headless corpse suddenly flew into the air and fell ten zhang away.
"This is Xiahou Yuan, you can take it and restore your life!"
Seeing Xiahou Yuan's corpse, Pang De's face was ugly and almost dripping with oil. He believed that Ma Chao would not lie to him, and hurriedly sent someone to carry Xiahou Yuan's body over. Seeing this headless corpse, he really didn't know how to explain to Cao Cao.
Just when Pound was embarrassed, the cavalry behind him was even more noisy.
"I heard that this Xiahou Yuan is known as the world's first rapid march, but he is actually dead, tsk!"
"I'll just say that the eldest prince is powerful, and Xiahou Yuan is a fart."
"I'm going to follow the eldest prince now, whoever dares to stop me, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
Seeing that the soldiers were about to mutiny, Pound couldn't help but sigh.
"The whole army retreated 20 miles and waited for Cao Gong to come and decide!"
As Pang De retreated, many Xiliang cavalry took the opportunity to stay in place. By the time Pound found out, there were nearly 10,000 fewer cavalry that followed him back. He had no choice but to turn a blind eye. Seeing that Pound ignored it, the rest of the soldiers who were watching couldn't help but lower their horse speed and gradually broke away from the retreating team.
After retreating 20 miles, Pound ordered someone to count the number of people, and the number of reports made Pound's heart cold. 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, a whole 20,000 less, he only welcomed back Xiahou Yuan's headless corpse, I really don't know how he will explain to Cao Cao.
