Chapter 402: I Really Didn't Expect It
Ma Chao didn't expect that the other party was actually on guard, and he also ordered an attack, but he knew that Zhang Ji's martial arts were only second-rate generals at most, and even second-rate generals were a little uplifted, even if the other party was prepared, what could he do? Don't say it's Zhang Ji, even if their uncle and nephew come together, he will still capture them alive in one fell swoop.
So Ma Chao didn't have the slightest worry, he felt that it would only take a dozen rounds at most to capture Zhang Jisheng, so as to occupy Chen Cang and realize the first step of his strategic plan.
However, then Ma Chao was surprised to find that things were not so simple, the Zhang Ji on the opposite side did not know why his martial arts had increased greatly, both speed and strength were on par with himself, although the swordsmanship was slightly rough, and the combat experience was slightly insufficient, but now that the other party was blindly defending, it was probably not so easy for him to win it in a short time.
What is even more surprising is that at this time, Zhang Xiu led his army to kill out of the cave in the city gate, and directly killed the soldiers under the command of Ma Chao, who were still in the grain and grass cart.
Although the thousands of soldiers under Ma Chao's command are also starting to prepare now, where can they compare to Zhang Xiu's thousands of iron horses? I saw that thousands of cavalry rushed forward like a whirlwind and clouds, and launched a charge against Ma Chao's soldiers.
Now most of Ma Chao's soldiers have just jumped out of the car, and some haven't even come out yet, let alone what formation, and these soldiers are from cavalry, and they are not very good at foot combat, but now they are attacked by cavalry, so they are naturally all panicked and fled in all directions, where can they take care of anything else? So all of a sudden, thousands of people were running around like a bunch of flies, but how did they manage? can only scream under the iron hooves of the cavalry, and become a live target for the other party.
All of a sudden, these soldiers who jumped out of the grain and grass cart were slaughtered one-sidedly, and those soldiers who had not jumped out of the grain and grass cart hid inside and did not dare to move, hoping to escape the catastrophe.
And in fact, it is true, at this time, no one will take care of them at all, of course, this is not that Zhang Xiu and the soldiers under his command do not know that they are hiding here, but there is no time to pay attention to them, because Zhang Xiu has to clean up the enemy soldiers who showed up first, and when everything is over, dealing with these enemy soldiers on the grain and grass truck is like closing the door and beating a dog, which is as easy as a hand.
When Ma Chao saw this scene, where was he still in the mood to fight with Zhang Ji? He didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly made a false move, and wanted to leave, but Zhang Ji was in hot pursuit, and Zhang Ji's soldiers chased and killed with Zhang Ji, which made Ma Chao even more powerless to parry, fought his way out, grabbed a war horse, and then fled without looking back.
Just when Ma Chao assassinated Zhang Ji, Zhong Xuan, who was standing not far from Ma Chao, still had a smile on his face, he believed that with Ma Chao's bravery, it would definitely be easy to assassinate Zhang Ji, but the next moment, when he saw that Zhang Ji had a draw with Ma Chao, his heart was no longer calm, because he didn't expect Zhang Ji's martial arts to be on par with Ma Chao!
"This, how is this possible? I clearly know that Zhang Ji's martial arts couldn't even compare with Hua Xiong, and even a lot worse, but now he can be on par with Ma Chao, what is going on? Could it be that Zhang Ji hid his strength before? But this is impossible, when Zhang Ji was in danger, he didn't see him show super combat power? Or is it Ma Chao deliberately giving in? This is impossible, no matter how stupid Ma Chao is, it is impossible to deliberately send his soldiers to the other party to kill, besides, Ma Chao has no need to give in, his ambition is real, and there is no fraud at all. ”
However, just when Zhong Miao was puzzled, he saw Zhang Xiu leading the army to kill him, Zhong Miao couldn't think about it anymore when he saw such a scene, and immediately turned around and prepared to escape.
But at this moment, I saw Zhang Xiu's cavalry rushing over directly, scattering Zhong Xuan and his personal guards, and Zhong Xuan himself did not stand, but was instantly drowned in the tide of the opponent's cavalry.
At this time, Zhong Miao could only find a way to blend into the defeated army, and then hope to escape with his life, but he didn't expect to hear Zhang Xiu next to him sigh lightly, and then came to Zhong Xuan's side with a horse and a spear, and said to Zhong Xuan: "Who are you?" I don't think your outfit looks like an ordinary soldier, but it must be meticulous. ”
Then he ordered the sergeants under his command to arrest Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Miao suddenly smiled bitterly, he didn't have to come here today, but Ma Chao was afraid that he would take the opportunity to win over his subordinates, so he forced him to come together, and Zhong Miao himself actually wanted to come here to take a look, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending, but Zhong Miao was sure that Zhang Xiu didn't know him, so he said to Zhang Ji: "The general forgives the sin, the villain was originally a teacher in the town, and he was forcibly taken by Ma Chao and asked the villain to be his military advisor, the villain just read the scriptures for a few years, where will he be a military advisor?" So this can be regarded as a disaster, now fortunately the general rescued the villain, and asked the general to be a thorough man, let the villain go, the villain will definitely find a way to repay the general's kindness in the future. ”
However, Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Teaching? Can Mr. Teaching be as calm as you? Although you pretended to be a little nervous, you looked calm, and at first glance you were a person of courage and insight, if I guessed correctly, it was the Ma Chao rebellion you instigated, right? And who is most beneficial to the Ma Chao rebellion now? It's not Ma Chao at all, it's Cao Cao, because now Cao Cao is in an all-out war with Yuan Shao, and I'm worried that we will attack him from behind, so you are someone sent by Cao Cao, and I'm not talking about it? ”
"The general laughed, where do I have such a skill? I'm really just a teacher gentleman. Although Zhong Xuan defended like this, his defense was so weak, because Zhong Xuan's heart was now turbulent, extremely shocked, he didn't expect that it was Zhang Xiu who recognized him, and this Zhang Xiu's analysis was so accurate, directly pointed out his identity and purpose, you must know that you have never appeared before, and it is basically impossible for Pei Qing and his strategists to expect that he will come back here, so there is only one possibility, This is Zhang Ji's own judgment to see through his identity and purpose.
"In the past, I only knew that Zhang Xiu was just a brave and unscrupulous boy, but where did I think he would have such a mind, even I was ashamed of myself, today I really started the show, Zhang Ji's martial arts are on par with Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu's brain is so good, it can be worthy of the wisdom of a first-class strategist, I am not wronged here, but what happened to them? If they have such an ability, I don't even believe it! Is it really like Guo Jia said casually at the beginning, Pei Qing has the ability to make people reborn? Isn't that too mysterious? I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it to be such an ending, I really didn't expect Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew to be so amazing, and I didn't expect that Pei Qing might really have the ability to make people reborn, if this speculation is true, who else in this world can compete with him? ”
Zhong Xuan's face was full of disbelief, what happened today completely subverted his cognition, making his heart completely confused, and he didn't know how to deal with himself in the future.
