14. Weakness

"There are slaves who have escaped!"

"Catch him!"

"Catch that hard labor!"

Seeing Ma Chao rushing out like the wind, many people also reflected at this time, Jiang Mo led a group of soldiers to shout, leaving only one soldier to watch the other laborers, and the others all spurred their horses or spread their legs, chasing in the direction of Ma Chao's escape.

There were also scout cavalry along the way who joined the pursuit team, chasing behind, only Jiang Mo and other dozens of cavalry were still able to hold Ma Chao's tail, and refused to give up.

Ma Chao, who returned to the horse, was not frightened, his eyes were blazing, the whole person seemed to be possessed by a god, he was full of energy, and the momentum on his body was even more powerful than before.

Sensing that the pursuers behind him were about to enter the firing range, he looked back at Jiang Mo and the others who were still chasing, and said loudly:

"I am a cool man, and now I am in a cool place, and I have to get on the horse, and there is no way to return it. In the past, I pretended to be disabled in order to deceive you, but my art is still there, and I am forced to do nothing, and I am dead! ”

The sound that came with the wind was sonorous and powerful, remembering the bravery of Ma Chao in the battle formation in the past, and the cavalry chasing behind couldn't help but feel timid, and some knights subconsciously grabbed the reins.

"Don't be deceived by him, he only has one person, where can he resist so many of us, catch up, swords and arrows, whether you live or die, listen to me, chase!"

Jiang Mo saw that someone was timid, his face suddenly changed color, and he shouted, as if he was also cheering up himself who was chasing ahead.

"Jiang Mo! The king insulted me, so I killed him with a cruel hand. You and I are both cool people, I don't want to kill you, you go to a hundred steps to stand your knife, I shoot it, you can return it if you hit it, and you can chase after you if you don't hit. ”

Ma Chao heard Jiang Mo's shout, and he yelled loudly again.

Hearing this, Jiang Mo rolled his eyes, and the horse's speed began to slow down, he thought about it, and thought that Ma Chao boasted about going to the sea, and this method was beneficial to his own pursuers, so he immediately shouted:

"Good! Ma Chao, it is rumored that you have the courage of ten thousand people, today I want to see if you have this ability! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Mo had already asked the other cavalrymen to stop and recover their horsepower, turned over and dismounted, left the ring head knife in the middle of the road, and continued to shout:

"Okay, Ma Chao, you can stop and turn back, the distance between you and me has passed a hundred steps."

"No need, it's here!"

Ma Chao pulled the reins, reined in the war horse that was still a little untamed, dismounted and raised the bow, visually measured the distance, and tried the horn bow of the king's secret once in the empty string, and his voice was firm and calm.

Immediately afterwards, I saw him stretch his chest and lower hips, steady and steady, open his bow and arrows, pause calmly, aim at the knife ring a hundred steps away, scatter his fingers and loose strings, the bowstring buzzed, the arrow swished, and flew out, and then in front of Jiang Mo and others, the arrow passed through the knife ring, and the feather at the end of the arrow scraped through the knife ring, making the arrow lose stability, and finally fell obliquely to the ground.

"Shhhh

Jiang Mo and the others who witnessed this scene gasped one after another, and the cold air entering their lungs made them more sober, and some people's legs even trembled a little.

"This is simply Yoyuki's magic shot!"

The pursuers reined in the restless mounts and whispered, and the soldiers around him also asked Jiang Mo in a low voice:

"Hundred generals, this Ma Chao is ten thousand enemies, I, do we still want to chase after me?"

Jiang Mo was dumbfounded, he wanted to regret it, but when he thought that he had been rushing to the forefront to catch up just now, he couldn't help but feel a tingling on his scalp.

"I still have a pot of arrows in the saddle, and if you want to die, just chase after me!"

Ma Chao in the distance didn't pay attention to the hesitant Jiang Mo, he got on the horse again, lifted the reins, and the war horse spread its hooves again, rushed out quickly, and went in the direction of Wuwei together.

"Hundred generals, Ma Chao fled in the direction of Wuwei."

When Ma Chao was far away, the soldiers around him couldn't help but remind him again, and Jiang Mo, who finally reacted, understood that he couldn't catch up anymore, gritted his teeth, and got on the horse again.

"Ma Chao attacked and killed a hundred generals, this is going to defect to the rebel Hu, I will return to the camp as soon as possible and report this matter to the three captains!"

···

Ma Chao, who had no pursuers behind him, did not slow down his horse's speed, he followed the flow of Lu Shui without hesitating horsepower, galloping all the way, and he didn't know how long it was, he saw a calm water like a mirror, as well as dense reeds and calamus bushes.

Ma Chao slowed down his horse, and he struck his horse forward, slowly approaching Mizusawa.

"Whoa—"

A chirping dwarf flew out of the reeds and stuck in front of his horse.

"Who?"

A vigilant Hu man's voice sounded, and several Lu Shuihu people dressed in robes, armed with bows and knives, parted from the reeds and walked out on foot, staring at Ma Chao, who was alone on horse.

Judging from the swaying reeds behind them, there were at least a number of Hu people with bows and arrows hiding among them, aiming their arrows at Ma Chao's men and horses.

Ma Chao, who was in danger, did not have a frightened face, but showed a smile, he looked like Hu Ren with ragged hair, he looked at Hu Ren in front of him and said:

"Tell Yi Jian's concubine and Zhi Yuanduo that an old friend who had an agreement in Lufu City is here!"

···

In the tent that exuded a fishy atmosphere, Ma Chao, who was alone on a horse, was warmly entertained, but although the prostitute Yijian and Zhi Yuanduo, who rebelled against the leader of Hu, had a smile on their faces, the doubts and vigilance in the corners of their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Meng Qi, how did you get this way?"

Looking at Ma Chao's hair and the clothes he took off, Zhi Yuanduo asked with a smile on his face.

"I committed an accident in Chang'an City, and I am no longer a general in commanding the army. Today, I killed a hundred generals in the barracks, escaped, remembered the original agreement in Lufu City, and made a special trip to you! ”

"Oh, that's good, those Han officials have a lot of discipline entries, and they have to ask people to be imprisoned at every turn, or in our Hu tribe! Hehe, but you should know what the two of us are in at the moment! ”

Zhi Yuanduo said, glanced at the concubine Yijian, who had been silent, and let out a wry smile.

Ma Chao, who was dressed in a fur fur, raised his eyelids, and the action of cutting mutton in his hand did not stop, and he asked:

"What, you regret the incident?"

"Alas, if Yang Aruo hadn't disregarded the lives of our tribesmen and forced us to brave the heavy snow to send troops, how could our Lu Shuihu have caused trouble. Those officials have always treated us as barbarians, using the rules of science to restrain us, and repeatedly requisitioning our warriors and horses through war, and the rewards and punishments in the army are not fair, why should we rush ahead in battle, and the most people will die, but if we win, we will fall behind······"

Ma Chao heard Yi Jian's prostitute complain as soon as she opened her mouth, he sneered and put down the knife in his hand to cut meat.

He is well aware of the contradictions between the Hu and Han in Liangdi, but he will never believe it if he wants to say that these unruly Hu leaders have no selfishness, and they don't want to overturn the current pattern and system of Liangdi and restore to the days when various families were divided and wanton in the past.

"Concubine Yijian, you used to be a famous warrior in Lu Shuihu, why have you now become an old cow who can only sigh. If you want to tell me that you reluctantly raised troops because of the oppression of officials and generals, then after eating this meal, I will leave immediately. But if you tell me that you still have a little ambition in your heart, then I may stay and help you win this cool war! ”

Concubine Yijian and Zhi Yuanduo listened to Ma Chao's words, their eyes became brighter and brighter, but they still had doubts in their hearts, Zhi Yuanduo sighed, and pretended to be helpless and said:

"Your Han people's armor is powerful, and there are other Hu tribes to help, several Qiang Hu who have risen in Liangdi have been pacified by Yang Aruo's troops, and now there is a new army, I am afraid that this battle will become more and more difficult to fight next!"

Ma Chao smiled.

"Yes, none of you are Yang Feng's opponents, if the current situation is followed, the Qianghu tribe that started the incident will be pacified by him one by one. But now with me, everything is very different. First of all, I know very well the reality of this new army, they have a discord with the soldiers of Wuwei County, and there are also fights in secret. As for Yang Feng, I know where his weakness is, and I can help you defeat them! ”

"But even if you can help us defeat Yang Aruo, can you still defeat the general Gan who led the troops into the cold before, and the hussar general who led them? We have heard that he has an army of more than 100,000 under his command, and he has never encountered an opponent! ”

Ma Chao sneered, "Yes, the person in your mouth, he may really have an army of 100,000 under his command, but he doesn't have so much food, and it is impossible for him to send hundreds of thousands of people to transport military food and grass to fight in the cold." So the soldiers and horses he can use are actually so many. What's more, his enemies are not limited to our cool land, but to the east of Taihang, there are also powerful opponents who are comparable to him, and they are already preparing to launch a large-scale attack on him. ”

"You have also seen wolves hunting, no matter how large the prey, just bite it and make it bleed, just as we defeated his army in the cold and caused turmoil in his rear, the wolves that surrounded the periphery smelled blood, and soon they scrambled to rush up and bite the flesh of its body. At that time, it will not be difficult to defeat it! ”

"Phew-" After hearing this, Concubine Yi Jian and Zhi Yuanduo looked at each other and took in a breath of cold air, and after testing, their vigilance had relaxed a lot. And the huge information brought by the Han people in front of them also made their hearts start to be restless in the remote corner, and the blood seemed to become even hotter.

"Meng Qi, tell me about it. Next, how should this battle be fought in the cool land! ”

Zhi Yuanduo smiled again and asked excitedly.

Ma Chao bowed, "We can't wait any longer, once we wait for the spring to pick up, Yang Feng and others launch a large-scale attack, the tribe of the Lu Shuihu people can't resist it, even if they flee in advance, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy losses, we must attack first and catch them off guard!" ”

"Also, relying on us alone, we can't make a mess in the cool land, and we can't just deal with Yang Feng alone, we still need more helpers!"

"You're right, let's go, where are we going to attack first?"

Concubine Yi Jian no longer concealed her ambitions, and the flame of desire ignited in his eyes, eager to know how much Ma Chao would help them.

"Delete Dan!"

Ma Chao smiled, without the slightest hesitation.

But Yijian's concubine and Zhiyuan Duo were shocked when they heard this, they thought that Ma Chao, who knew the truth of the new army, would take them to attack Wuwei, but they didn't expect Ma Chao to take them to fight Zhangye, once they entered the territory of Zhangye, surrounded by Yang Feng and the new army from the east and west, the cavalry of the Lu Shuihu people would be unable to escape.

For a while, suspicion re-emerged in the tent, and Concubine Yi Jian and Zhi Yuanduo re-examined Ma Chao who had fled to their tribe with suspicious eyes, just as they wanted to re-examine the help that Ma Chao had brought to them.

Seeing their suspicious and vigilant looks, Ma Chao was not surprised.

"Trust me! To kill massive enemies, you'll have to lunge close and plunge your dagger into their soft underbelly. Hehe, speaking of which, Yang Feng himself taught me! ”

"Then why Delete Dan?"

Zhi Yuanduo was not satisfied with Ma Chao's explanation, and he asked vigilantly.

"Because there are horses, and wine, and women!"
