In the middle of Anding County, Gaoping City (now Guyuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region).

Gaoping is also known as Xiaoguan, Yuanzhou, the Silk Road must pass through the place, there are "the left control of the five plains, the right with the Lanhui, the Yellow River around the north, Kongtong blocking the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key to the three towns of the Juan", "back to the middle of the road risk, Xiaoguan Feng is more", is the place where the Chinese soldiers of the past dynasties must fight. Taking Gaoping will be able to directly cut off the communication between the eastern part of Anding and Beidi County and Xiliang.

Not only that, but at the same time, it can also isolate Xiliang from Kanto, except for Longguan (now the eastern slope of Donglongshan Mountain, Qingshui County, Gansu) to enter and exit the hinterland of the world.

"Xu Huang, the general under the command of King Yan, is here! The guards in the city, do you dare to talk!? ”

Xu Huang, the general under Xiang Ao, rode an inky black war horse, put the giant axe in his hand on his shoulder, and shouted loudly several miles away from the city.

"Ma Teng, the lord of Wuxiliang, is the martial king of the Han Dynasty, why are you here to attack?"

At Ma Chao's suggestion, Pang De stepped forward and came to the Ru Wall and shouted at Xu Huang under the city, seemingly not looking at the little-known generals of the Yanguo Army. As the saying goes, teachers are famous. Xiang Ao and Ma Teng have no grievances or hatred, so they naturally have to find an excuse to send troops to reassure the people of the world. Before calling the formation, Xiang Ao had already told Xu Huang.

Xu Huang stabilized his horse, stood still, no longer swaying back and forth, and shouted: "King Wu of the Han Dynasty? Hahaha... Joke! My Han is in the four seas, which of the small border countries will not pay tribute to our Han? Since you claim that Ma Teng is the lord of Xiliang and the king of the imperial court, why did you let the Qiang people enter the country and harm the people of our Han Dynasty? ”

Hearing this, Pang De's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Ma Chao, his expression full of inquiry. Ma Chao also had an ugly face, and the Yan Kingdom sent troops under the pretext of the Qiang people, so shameless.

"Humph!" After Ma Chao signaled, Pang De snorted coldly and continued: "The Qiang rebellion is a matter left over from the previous dynasty, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of Wuxi Liang!" ”

"Hahaha... Amusing! Xu Huang took the giant axe from his shoulder, lifted it in his hand, and laughed disdainfully: "Xiliang's internal affairs? Could it be that it is collusion with foreign Qiang people to harm Xiliang and the people? ”

You kept claiming that you were a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but did not mention that the Son of Heaven was guarding the frontier. even conspired with the Qiang people of foreign tribes to lose the great rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, what face did he have to face the ancestors? Why don't you quickly open the city gate and let my lord King Yan enter the city to assist you in exterminating the foreign race?! ”

"Bastard!" Ma Chao looked at the soldiers on the city wall who were shaken by Xu Huang's morale, stomped on the spear violently, and scolded in a deep voice.

Pang De's face was also not good-looking, and he originally thought that Han Sui's strategy of contacting the Qiang people to resist Xiang Ao was a little stupid, but it was also forced by the situation. I never thought that Xiang Ao would use this as an excuse to send troops to Xiliang.

"Collusion? Joke! My Han is a state of etiquette, and we should be broad-minded and accept foreigners who are willing to submit. Since you are under the command of King Yan, don't you also have Xianbei and Hu people in Bingzhou? ”

"Humph! Naturally, foreign tribes are indispensable under my lord's command to submit and settle, have you heard that there are still Xianbei kings and burning kings in my Yan country? Xu Huang was extremely disdainful, and at the same time continued to shout in a slightly angry tone: "Don't talk to the Qiang people, there is still so much nonsense, is it because you are afraid of my lord Yan Wang?" Hurry up and open the gates of the city, and go down to the city to die! ”

"Arrogance!" Pang De was so angry by Xu Huang that he shouted angrily, lifted a giant axe similar to Xu Huang, and hurried down from the city wall.

"Ling Ming beware, this person's martial arts are extraordinary!" After that, Ma Chao still seemed to be a little worried about Pang De, turned to Ma Dai and said, "Ah Dai led the guards and followed me out of the city to suppress the formation for Ling Ming." ”

"No!" Ma Dai on the side had long been unable to settle down, and he also went down to the city angrily.

Looking at the reaction of the enemy generals on the city wall, Xu Huang smiled and was secretly proud. It seems that the lord expected it to be true, Ma Chao really can't help but be excited, in this way, before the war, he has made a contribution, and his official career in the future will definitely be open. Xu Huang thought proudly, sitting on the war horse, waiting for the enemy general to leave the city.

"Ah Wei stepped forward and pressed for Xu Huang!" Xiang Ao had been watching the situation up and down the city wall from behind. Although Xu Huang's strength is extraordinary, Ma Chao is called the first warrior of Xiliang by the warriors from all over Xiliang after all, and I am afraid that Xu Huang is not Ma Chao's opponent.

"No!"

Seeing that there was another fight to fight, Dian Wei's eyes lit up, and he rushed to take the order with his fists, leading dozens of horsemen to kill and rush out of the military formation.

"Enemy generals are all names!"

"Humph! Xiliang Pound is also! ”

"Pound?" It's not Ma Chao! Xu Huang muttered softly when he heard this, frowning and displeased, if he can defeat Ma Chao, then he will be the first to fight this battle. It's a pity! Xu Huang's slightly regretful look naturally fell on Pang De's eyes, and Xu Huang saw it so clearly, how could Ma Teng, who was also powerful and cool, swallow this breath.

"You are just a nobody, Hugh is arrogant! Kill! The angry Pang De had already given up the vigilance in his heart, and his legs clamped the horse's belly and rushed towards Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was awakened by Pound's angry shouting of killing, still glancing at Pound with disdain, and also shouted and rushed away: "What about arrogance? Kill! ”

Both of them use giant axes, and the first move after meeting is the same move: Wuding Kaishan. Without any fancy or skill, the two giant axes slashed at each other's faces from top to bottom at the same time. There was a loud bang, and the giant axes slammed together, and in a trance, the air in front of the two of them was bent up.

The giant rebounded, and the two of them invariably stopped the momentum, and there was a faint tendency to lean back. The war horses under the crotches of the two of them are sweaty and bloody BMWs that are one in a hundred, and they can naturally withstand the sudden fall, opening their mouths and neighing, as if they are cheering for their masters.

Xu Huang, who was shocked back, was shocked, and he didn't want Pound, who had never heard of him, to be like himself, born with divine power and superior strength. Then he put away the contempt in his heart, and squinted his eyes and looked solemnly at Pound.

The furious Pound was also shocked to his senses by the huge force of recoil, and his face became calm and a little dignified.

The first collision between the two not only made the two of them start to get serious, but even the generals of the two sides who watched the battle had different faces. Although Pang De is not as brave as himself, Pang De is also one of the best warriors in Ma Chao's army, and he doesn't want Xiang Ao to send out generals who have never heard of him at all, and he is on a par with Pang De. What's more, under Xiang Ao's command, there are many world-shattering generals. Ma Chao alone knows that there are Xiang Ao, Wei Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun, the general of the White Horse. Ma Chao's face became more and more solemn.

As for Xiang Ao's side, most of the generals were also surprised, and there were really many warriors in the Xiliang army. After Xu Huang surrendered to Xiang Ao, he had a discussion with many generals, and although Xu Huang's force was not top-notch under Xiang Ao, he could be ranked famous. Xiang Ao, who was at the head, lowered his head and searched for Pound's name in his mind, wanting to find clues from the memories of his previous life.

The only thing that is different is Dian Wei, who can take Xu Huang's axe hard, and there are only three or five people under Xiang Ao. Pang De not only took it head-on, but also on par with Xu Huang, Dian Wei checked the halberd in his hand, the corners of his mouth cracked, and his eyes became hot.

"Good axe! Again! "There are not many famous generals in the world who make axes, Xu Huang saw that Pang De could have his own spring and autumn, and his heart also ignited endless fighting spirit.

"Haha... War! Pang De also smiled maniacally, stopped the momentum of leaning back, and slashed at Xu Huang.

"Sweep through a thousand armies!"

"Sweep through a thousand armies!"

The two of them shouted at the same time, using almost the same moves, until the two who stood back and lifted their horses turned sideways at the same time, swept the thousands of troops with a majestic blow, and slashed at each other.

In this battle, the two giant axes did not collide, but went up and down, staggered and rubbed past, making a piercing, long-ranging, tooth-calculating sound. Even the soldiers on the city wall, who were several miles away, were tormented by the long roar of the giant axe. The weaker soldier even felt that the teeth had fallen into the gums, and the saliva came out of the mouth, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Feng, who was good friends with Xu Huang, smashed his mouth, rubbed his somewhat sour teeth, and sighed softly: "It seems that Gongming's martial arts have grown again, hey..."

If you don't grow, you can't do it, Xiang Ao let everyone practice, although he couldn't practice the spiritual power that Xiang Ao expected, but it can help everyone make great progress in martial arts. Xiang Ao heard the words in front of him, and smiled lightly, his expression was full of self-satisfaction. As long as you like martial arts and worship under your command, who can resist the temptation of cultivation? Xiang Ao thought so, and the corners of his mouth cracked with joy.

"Kill!" After the two stabilized their figures, they began to open and close and entangle. Both of them made giant axes, with similar moves and similar momentum, and fought in the center of the battlefield for hundreds of rounds without winning or losing, which made everyone extremely enjoyable to watch. If it weren't for the fact that it was a battlefield at this time, and each was the main one, I am afraid that the soldiers on both sides would have gathered together and talked about what they had gained.

In the first battle of the fighting generals, whether it was Xiang Ao or Ma Chao, they didn't want their generals to lose, and at the same time ordered to cheer for the two. Driven by such an atmosphere, the soldiers on both sides roared and cheered for the generals on their side.

Although Xiang Ao's cultivation method could not significantly improve the strength of everyone, in addition to physical strength, he could quickly show the advantages of cultivation method. Pang De, who had been fighting with the knife since the time of the hour, and had not learned Xiang Ao's cultivation method, was finally exhausted by Xu Huang's physical strength, and began to leak flaws, and was pressed by Xu Huang and beaten hard. Ma Chao, who was pressing in the rear formation, saw Pound's situation, frowned, and pulled his bow and arrows.

"Huh... Clang! ”

Ma Chao suddenly shot darkly, knocked the two axes that were entangled, and shouted loudly: "Since there is no distinction between superior and inferior, why not rest for a while and fight again in the afternoon?" ”

Dian Wei was extremely angry at Ma Chao's secret arrow, and was about to open his mouth to shout at Ma Chao, when Xiang Ao shouted from behind.

"Why not! The king's greatest admiration is the loyal and brave! It's okay to fight again in the afternoon! ”

Ma Chao looked at Xiang Ao who stepped forward on the horse, frowned, and asked with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency is Xiang Ao, the king of Yan?" ”

"Your Excellency is Xiliang Jinma Chao?"

Xiang Ao didn't answer, he also asked rhetorically, and then smiled lightly and beckoned Xu Huang and Dian Wei to retreat into the formation. Ma Chao looked at Xiang Ao's departing back, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, suppressing the urge to raise his bow again.
