Chapter 173: Invitation to Battle (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Han Baohu didn't look at Uncle Ma either, so he said coldly: "Since this thief is so powerful, the Japanese marshal will take it down in person."
Ma Shumou lowered his head and even claimed that since he had lost the battle, how could he still have the face to say in front of Han Baohu?
Moreover, Ma Shumou has long heard of Han Baohu's strength. It's just that now Han Baohu is over seventy years old, and he usually leads the army, so he rarely has a chance to make a move.
……
Luo Cheng commanded five thousand elites and had arrived at the Qilin Pass.
After showing Wu Yunzhao's order, Sima Chao asked people to open the door and welcome Luo Cheng and the others in.
But that's about it.
Sima Chao has always thought highly of himself. In the first battle during the day, he killed Lei Ming, the deputy vanguard of the enemy army, and defeated Ma Shumou, the vanguard of the enemy army, and his self-confidence has successfully exploded.
In Sima Chao's opinion, he only needs to lead an army of 30,000 to hold the Qilin Pass.
Wu Yunzhao sent Luo Cheng here, although it was for the sake of safety, but to him, it didn't mean anything.
Because of this, Sima Chao's attitude towards Luo Cheng was quite cold.
But Luo Cheng didn't care about it. In order not to reveal his identity, he has been wearing a mask, and he has not even given his name. This Sima Chao's indifferent attitude is also expected.
Besides, Luo Cheng didn't come to Qilin Pass to compete for fame and fortune with this Sima Chao.
The purpose of his trip was to hold the checkpoint and delay time for Wu Yun to summon them.
If Sima Chao can hold on and save him, it won't be a big deal.
As for this attitude, there is no need for him to say anything, and the truth will be seen on the battlefield.
Men have always relied on strength to speak!
Time flies, night goes to morning solstice.
The sound of drums outside the gate broke the calm air and became a commotion.
The patrol guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately notified Sima Chao. When Sima Chao heard the news, he rushed to the wall and saw the enemy array under the gate, with a large number of people and a fierce momentum, which was not trivial.
But I heard someone shouting outside the pass: "The imperial army has arrived, you wait for the thieves to surrender quickly, if you resist stubbornly, when the pass is broken, you will definitely die!"
The enemy's formation is not small, even Sima Chao is secretly frightened.
But he thought that the enemy's arrogance was so arrogant, and he must not weaken the momentum of the army at this moment. Moreover, after yesterday's World War II, Sima Chao has been confident in his martial arts to the extreme.
Sima Chao glanced at the imperial army under the wall, and then Lang Sheng ordered: "Come on, immediately order 10,000 elites, and follow me out of the city to fight!"
At this moment, Luo Cheng also came to the wall, looked at the army outside the gate, and had an idea in his heart. He looked at Sima Chao with a smile and said, "Sima General is going to lead the troops into battle, so how about I press the formation for the general army?"
Sima Chao glanced at Luo Cheng, didn't say much, nodded slightly, and led the troops out of the pass, holding a sword, and shouted loudly: "Marshal Wu's chief soldier Sima Chao is here, who dares to fight with me!"
Luo Cheng led a team of people to guard before closing the door. Luo Cheng looked around, and when he saw Sima Chao like this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This Sima Chao is also too confident, he won two battles yesterday, and he thought he was invincible in the world? The powerful people in the Sui army haven't made a move yet!
But Luo Cheng did not act rashly, he looked at the Sui army array, still waiting for the opportunity.
Sima Chao's shouting stopped, and a veteran dressed in a whole body came out of the formation, it was the marshal of the army, Han of Qi, who captured the tiger.
When Sima Chao saw Han Baohu, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. He was originally a subordinate of Han Baohu, how could he not know Han Baohu?
Because it was an old acquaintance, Han Baohu promoted him a lot. Seeing it at this moment, Sima Chao was leaning on the horse and said, "Old marshal, the young general is wearing armor and can't salute the whole thing, don't be surprised!"
Han Baohu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chief Sima doesn't have to be polite, at this moment, Ben Shuai has a word to persuade him!"
Sima Chao was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "What does the old marshal command?"
Han Baohu looked at Sima Chao and said in a deep voice: "This commander obeys the order of the Son of Heaven, commands an army of 300,000 and 1,000 generals, and then there is an invincible general Yuwen Chengdu to respond, how can little Nanyang stop it?"
"You can go back to the customs immediately, notify Wu Yunzhao, and let him make plans early and lead the troops to surrender. Otherwise, when the army breaks through Nanyang and the jade is burned, it will be too late to regret! Han Baohu's face was solemn, but he said with a deep meaning.
Han Baohu's original intention was to persuade Sima Chao to go back to Wu Yunzhao, so that Wu Yunzhao could escape, so as not to lose this, and he could be regarded as having fulfilled his righteous feelings.
But this Sima Chao was originally a reckless man, how could he understand the deep meaning of Han Baohu's words? coupled with his self-confidence, he only felt that Han Baohu was provoking him.
Sima Chao immediately shouted: "The faint monarch is a traitor, and the Marshal Wu's family is destroyed, if you don't take revenge, how can you be a person?" The old marshal doesn't need to say much, just look at the knife! ”
Han Baohu was painstaking, but this Sima Chao couldn't listen to it, and he was also annoyed in his heart. just snorted coldly: "You dog thief, you are so rude, don't you think that this handsome old man can't be bullied?"
Not to mention, Sima Chao really had this idea, he was originally under Han Baohu, so he naturally knew Han Baohu's ability. But now that Han Baohu is old, his strength must not be as good as before, and Sima Chao has the power to fight, so he will speak provocatively.
Sima Chao's long knife was shocked, and he slashed out suddenly, and he wanted to strike first. But is Han Baohu an ordinary character? As one of the Nine Elders of Xingsui, he naturally has his own ability!
Han Baohu was also holding a war knife, and he took Sima Chao's long knife together, which was like a wave, surging towards Sima Chao. Sima Chao was surprised in his heart and tried his best to stop it.
Although Han Baohu is old, his ability is still there, how can Sima Chao be able to resist it? Han Baohu came down with a knife, killing Sima Chao one after another, and the whole person was also messy.
After supporting it for six or seven rounds, it was already dangerous and difficult to resist.
Han Baohu had disdain in his eyes, such a junior dared to provoke him, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
If Sima Chao had just retreated, he would still be able to spare his life. But at this moment, Sima Chao has already made a move, and Han Baohu has already moved to kill.
What kind of character is he? If you dare to provoke, you must pay for it!
Before the city gate, Luo Cheng pressed the formation. Sima Chao and Han Baohu were in battle, and Luo Cheng could certainly see which of the two was stronger and who was weak.
When he saw Sima Chao completely crushed by Han Baohu and had no power to resist, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
If you kid is so arrogant, even if he wants to save you, he has to make you suffer a little first.
The so-called eat a trench, grow a wisdom. This time, he was taught a lesson by Han Baohu, and it was seen if he would dare to burst with confidence in the future.
Sima Chao was completely powerless to resist, and Han Baohu killed him with one sword, wanting to take Sima Chao's life.
Luo Cheng's eyes flashed, and he seized the opportunity at this moment, rode out of the horse, and greeted Han Baohu!
