Chapter 837: The Great War Begins
Seeing that the door of the other party's village was wide open, and a white-robed and silver-armored general came on horseback, Dian Wei first relaxed slightly, and then tensed, although it was far away, he could also feel the cold murderous aura emanating from the other party's body, which was like a substance! He is no stranger to this general, he met on the battlefield of Yanzhou seven years ago, although he was unable to fight with it in person, but the figure of his blood-stained robe in the battle of ten thousand armies was impressive, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, the son of General Wei!
I haven't seen it for many years, just from this momentum he can feel the other party's great progress in martial arts, although the white-robed young general is brave and good at fighting, but there is still immaturity, if he has a head-to-head battle Dian Wei has great confidence to fight and win, but he has not been given the opportunity, but today goodbye everything is not like the past, at this time Ma Chao has stepped into the ranks of top generals, enough to become his own fierce rival, and the feeling of evil here is never wrong. Although the goal of inducing Zhang Xiu to go into battle to frustrate the enemy's morale was not achieved, Dian Wei was even more excited in his heart.
The Ma Mengqi in front of him has a lot of similarities with Zhao Yun, who was equal to him in Xuzhou that day, the general white robe and silver armor, the same handsome and extraordinary, but Zhao Zilong gives people the feeling that it is like wind and rain, and the white dragon and silver spear are pervasive in the soft and dense! Ma Chao is like lightning and thunder, and there is a fierce momentum in his face, and the black spear seems to be inconsistent with his whole body, but once it is deployed, it must be amazing! In the eyes of the other party, Dian Wei could see that it was not inferior to his own fighting spirit, and today's battle will definitely be hearty!
Not only is Dian Wei comparing Ma Chao in front of him with Changshan Zhao Zilong in his heart at this time, but also in the heart of Cao Cao in the back, Zhao Yun can be said to be his life-saving benefactor. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, coerced the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to Chang'an, Cao Cao's proposal to pursue the whole army was vetoed by the alliance leader Yuan Shao, and he led the army alone to pursue in a fit of anger, but he fell into the ambush plan of the strategist Li Ru, Cao Hong and others fought desperately to ensure that he broke through and it was difficult to do his best, and it was Gan Ning and Zhao Yun who came to the aid to solve Meng De's catastrophe! And it was in this battle that Zhao Zilong fought alone, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Li Yu, and Guo Yan, and the four generals let the world know that their martial arts and courage could be on a par with their eldest brother Liu Yi!
When the princes discussed Dong, Cao Cao's most important generals were Gan, Zhao, Guan and Zhang, but the first two were united with Liu Yi Shanlin, and the latter two were Taoyuan brothers with Liu Bei, which made him sigh, and after this war, he appreciated Zhao Yun even more, and this appreciation was not limited by the camp. And more than ten years later, Gan Ning and the eldest brother mentioned this matter, but they laughed and said that if the younger brother and the third brother had made a little less effort back then, I am afraid that the eldest brother would not have to take such pains today, Liu Yi also laughed at this, the so-called one time is also another, and if there is no Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who can be his opponent?
Liu Yi's brave and good use of soldiers does not make Meng De fearful, but he is extremely envious of his fierce generals such as Yun Cao Cao, regardless of Ganning Zhao Yun and he have brotherly righteousness, Zhang He of the Battle of Bingzhou, Xu Huang in the Battle of Yanzhou and Zhang Liao of the Battle of Sizhou, this is the general he loves in his heart, but it is the hand of the fierce enemy, Cao Cao has seen the bravery of the young Ma Chao and the ability to lead the cavalry, and now he has not seen it for several years, but he knows that his momentum is extraordinary, and Liu Langsheng has a good general, Of course, he also knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for Ma Chao to serve himself, although his father Ma Teng was killed at the hands of Han Sui, he also had his own plans behind him, and his father was not in the same place!
Ma Chao, who led Xiliang Iron to help Liu Yi in the Battle of Yanzhou, was only seventeen years old, but too many changes had happened to Meng Qi after seven years, his father Ma Teng was betrayed by his most trusted brother and died tragically, Xiliang fell into the hands of Han Sui, his mother and younger brothers all went with his father, and his experience of breaking out of the encirclement was also nine deaths! If there was no Liu Yi, Ma Chao at that time would never have fled Chang'an, even if he died in battle, he would have to die with his parents and brothers, that kind of deep pain is difficult to describe in words without personal experience, Meng Qi is like a year in every day he was hunted down, and he didn't dare to close his eyes when he was extremely tired, not afraid of the thieves' pursuers, but once he fell asleep, the tragic situation on that day was vivid!
The bitter hatred has become the belief that Ma Chao persists, and he also believes that Liu Yi, who is regarded as his uncle, will never sit idly by and watch the blood feud of the Ma family! Sure enough, Liu Yi did not disappoint him, he was finally able to slash the enemy in the first battle of Sizhou, but at the moment when the Heavenly Wolf Thunder provoked Han Sui, Meng Qi felt relieved in his heart, carrying such a deep hatred is a heavy burden for anyone, and at that moment, he made up his mind to follow the lord to the death in return.
Suffering makes people miserable, but it can also make people mature quickly, and now it is not only martial arts that Ma Chao is advancing by leaps and bounds, but his mood and bearing have made great progress, otherwise how could Liu Yi hand over the Sizhou camp to his hands? King Yan has always been meritocracy, especially in the army, any relationship is not feasible, to be able to serve as the commander of the Sizhou battalion is his recognition of Ma Chao's ability to unify the army, these years of experience have made him grow into a qualified leading general!
Zhang Hu repeatedly emphasized the significance of the Battle of Hanzhong to King Yan in his letters to him and in his meetings with him, and that the Great War must not be mixed with any emotional factors, and as the commander of a battalion, he must be able to ensure a cool head and careful judgment under all circumstances! Although the military advisor did not say it explicitly, Ma Chao clearly knew what he meant, and in this battle, he would face another enemy of his own, Cao and Cao Mengde, which was also an important juncture to test his ability to be a general.
When he rode out of Chang'an Camp Dazhai, Ma Chao had completely calmed down, it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and now he wanted to value the great cause of King Yan more, and the battle of Hanzhong would never allow for negligence! He came today to help Zhang Xiutong resist Cao Cao's army, the other party came very fast, the rest of the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion led by Zhang Junshi have not yet arrived and rushed here, only with more than 20,000 people in their hands, there is a carefully installed Dazhai as a basis, and the gap in strength between the enemy is still too large, the military division has said that the battle is to eliminate the enemy's sharpness does not have to blindly defend, but the victory or defeat of this battle is extremely important for both sides of the war, as a general Zhang Xiu Ma Chao is well aware of this principle!
Although the Sizhou battalion is a place where the cavalry can not be used to defend the palace, but Meng Qi's arrival has great benefits for the morale of the army, at this time Pang De led tens of thousands of iron cavalry is also ready to attack at any time, even under the offensive of the Cao army, it is difficult for Dazhai to defend Ma Chao for a long time, and it is necessary to ensure that the Chang'an battalion can evacuate safely, Pang Lingming, whether it is martial arts or the ability to lead the cavalry, is not under himself, this division of labor is also the best choice at the moment. It can be said that the timing of Ma Chao's arrival is just right, Dian Wei's second shout happened to be heard by him, how can the majesty of King Yan be offended? I have been lacking the opportunity to fight life and death with the top masters, and the evil in front of me is the best candidate, as long as they can win the battle, they will be able to defend more calmly in Dazhai here!
After a while, Ma Chao had already arrived in front of the Flying Bear Riding Formation, the Heavenly Wolf Ben Lei in his hand was slightly raised, and the iron horses behind him all stopped, Meng Qi didn't say much, his sharp gaze immediately locked on Dian Wei on the opposite side, and Evil Lai also looked at him without showing weakness, and there seemed to be a burst of fire in the air between the eyes of the two! Then at the same time, the horses slowly marched towards the other party, and the speed of the two sides was surprisingly consistent, obviously deliberately controlled.
At this time, the Xuantian Twin Halberds in Dian Wei's hand were naturally tilted down and hung down on his waist, and Ma Chao's Heavenly Wolf Ben Lei was also holding his right hand alone, and he was carrying it behind, and neither of them had any words, but the momentum around him had already taken the lead and started the confrontation. Dian Wei is as majestic as a mountain, the horse is super violent like thunder, and when the two horses stop at a distance of one zhang, the two will naturally not be deterred by each other's momentum, but under that kind of coercion, it is difficult for the war horse to move forward in size!
After Claw Huang Feidian and Chasing Cloud stopped walking month by month, the figures of Dian Wei and Ma Chao were also condensed, and in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, the two generals seemed to have become stone sculptures, and there was no movement on Zhou's body for half a minute, only the brilliance of his eyes was even greater. In the eyes of the two, it is just the opposite, the other party seems to be immobile but is moving all around, constantly looking for the weakness in the cold momentum.
This confrontation lasted for a long time, and the four eyes became more and more hot, and a strong and incomparable fighting spirit came from this, that kind of heat seemed to ignite the air between the two, the strength of the other party is undoubted, and it is difficult for anyone to gain the upper hand in the battle of momentum, at this time, in Ma Chao's heart, the evil has been raised to the height of King Yan and the three generals, and in Dian Wei's opinion, the momentum of the enemy general in front of him is faintly beyond the veteran Huang Zhong of the day!
In an instant, Dian Wei's eyes shrank slightly, and at the same time, a meaningful smile also appeared at the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, when the Xuantian Twin Halberds were like two dragons out of the sea swinging towards each other, the wolf running wolf also drew a wonderful arc in the air to meet it, the transformation from extremely static to extremely dynamic was only between the two of them, and the battle of Hanzhong also kicked off when the confrontation between Evil and Ma Chao began!
