Jiang Wei looked ahead vigilantly, the spear in his hand was always upright, ready to fight at any time.

Ma Chao was injured, so Jiang Wei inadvertently noticed that there was a very powerful person among the chasing soldiers, and the person who could hurt Ma Chao must have very good martial arts. Jiang Wei is no matter how confident he is, and he doesn't think that he can be better than Ma Chao.

Therefore, Jiang Wei has been very careful to be on guard, carefully observing everyone in front of him, and paying attention to who among them is the master who injured Ma Chao.

Yang Yi stood beside Jiang Wei, looking eager to try. Yang Yi is a scribe, and he is also the kind of scribe who is proficient in the art of scheming, this is Yang Yi's first time on the battlefield. However, at this time, Yang Yi was not only afraid nor nervous, but looked very excited. It seems that Yang Yi can't wait for the two sides to fight quickly.

Jiang Wei secretly turned his head to look at Yang Yi next to him, and a trace of surprise rose in his heart. Although this Yang Yi is a literati, what he shows today does not have the slightest appearance of a literati.

"Lord Yang, maybe those Qiang will be in a while. People are rushing over, so you might as well stay out of the way......"

"Hehehe, General Jiang, although Yang is the first. went to the battlefield again, but Yang was not afraid! Yang Yi said with a smile.

Looking at Yang Yi's eyes full of excitement. God, Jiang Wei sighed helplessly, and at the same time instructed the people next to him: "I will protect Lord Yang in a while." ”

"General, look, the Qiang people have retreated!"

Jiang Wei immediately looked up, only to see that the Qiang people in the distance had begun to slow down. of retreat.

Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and the Qiang cavalry on the opposite side obviously wanted. There are more infantry under his command, and if he really fights, Jiang Wei has no certainty of winning at all.

"Order, set up camp on the spot, shoot more to resist deer and horses......"

……

In the tent, Ma Chaoduan sat in the tent, supporting his body with one arm, and the military doctor next to him. is carefully helping Ma Chao to bandage his wounds. There were bursts of pain from the wound, but Ma Chao didn't even frown for half a minute.

Jiang Wei was very respectful. Standing aside, he told Ma Chao in detail about the war situation in Yongzhou for more than a year.

"So Cao Zhen retreated to Tongguan after learning that Zhu Ling was dead?" Ma Chao asked.

"Yes, Cao Zhen held on to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng on the frontal battlefield for more than a month, and he withdrew from the army without taking the slightest advantage." Jiang Wei paused, and then said: "Now that the war in Yongzhou has stopped, Your Majesty ordered me to lead troops to support Yongzhou first, and Your Majesty should arrive later." ”

"You mean Your Majesty wants to go on a personal expedition?"

"Yes, Your Majesty does want to personally conquer the Qiang people."

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he looked at Ma Chao's pale face, and asked tentatively, "General Ma, are you okay with your injuries......?"

"It's okay, it's just a flesh injury, it's not a big deal, just rest for a few days."

"Listen to the military doctor, the general was wounded by an arrow?"

"It was an arrow wound, an accident, and it was attacked by that person named Deng Ai...... "Ma Chao said.

"Deng Ai......" Jiang Wei nodded, and at the same time firmly remembered the name Deng Ai.

……

The sun is gradually rising from the east, and now it is autumn, there is a faint coolness floating in the air, and people can already feel the slight cold when they get up in the morning, and the pace of winter is approaching day by day.

The Qiang cavalry had already lined up, the neighing of the horses sounded from time to time, and the knights continued to soothe the slightly restless horses, and at the same time kept glancing ahead, always with a bloodthirsty color in their eyes.

Jiang Wei licked his lips slightly, and quietly looked at the mighty Qiang soldiers in front of him. Although the feeling of depression before the war made Jiang Wei feel a little nervous, but as a breeze blew, this tension gradually subsided, and was replaced by a sense of clarity.

Deng Ai looked ahead from a distance and did not see Ma Chao, which also made Deng Ai speculate on Ma Chao's injury. It seems that Ma Chao's injury today will not be able to recover in a day or two.

Looking at the Shu army formation opposite, there was a "Jiang" floating on the handsome flag flying in the wind, Deng Ai understood that it was the little-known Jiang Wei who led the troops today.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Zhuge Kongming to really let this son surnamed Jiang lead the troops!" Thinking of this, Deng Ai raised his knife forward, pointed to the Shu army formation in front of him, and shouted: "The rebels and thieves in front, dare to come out and fight with me?" ”

Jiang Wei immediately raised his gun and looked at the general who seemed to be challenged. The other party looks like he is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his appearance can only be regarded as average, but there is a vicissitudes written on his face, and he looks as if he has experienced a lot of things. Looking at this person's dress, it is clearly a kind of Han dress, which is incompatible with the Qiang people in the back.

Could this person be Deng Ai? Thinking of this, Jiang Wei opened his mouth and said: "I am Tianshui Jiang Wei, who are you, report your name." ”

"Nanyang Deng Ai!" While Deng Ai spoke, he was constantly looking at Jiang Wei opposite.

Jiang Wei was just in his early twenties, his face was still slightly immature, the beard at the corner of his mouth had not yet risen, he was dressed in silver armor on his body, and a spear in his hand had been slipped by silver water several times, and it looked shiny in the sunlight.

"Looking at Jiang Wei's appearance, he must be a useless guy! Tianshui first? If you think about it, you can only show off your power in Tianshui......" Thinking of this, Deng Ai's eyes showed a trace of contempt, and then rushed towards Jiang Wei.

At this time, Deng Ai had a taste of youthful ambition, and he made a lot of military exploits at a young age, and he stabilized Runan with his own strength, and was appreciated by Cao Pi, coupled with the successful calculation of Ma Chao just now, which made Deng Ai very proud at this time, and looked down on Jiang Wei in front of him who was just in his early twenties.

On the contrary, Jiang Wei learned from Ma Chao yesterday that the person who injured Ma Chao was named Deng Ai, and since then, Jiang Wei has noticed Deng Ai, and at the same time warned himself that if he encounters Deng Ai, he must be careful of oppression. When he met Deng Ai today, Jiang Wei was full of spirit and fought with Deng Ai.

"Bang!" The two men intersected with each other, sparks splashed everywhere, and then rubbed and kicked away.

Judging from the appearance, no one took advantage of the two in this fight, but in fact, in the fight just now, Deng Ai didn't take Jiang Wei in his eyes at all, so he didn't do his best, and Jiang Wei had the idea of testing first, and his moves were a little restrained, and he also didn't do his best, so the first round of the battle between the two could only be regarded as a tie.

But after one round, the mood of the two men changed.

Deng Ai didn't notice that Jiang Wei didn't do his best, at this time Deng Ai thought that Jiang Wei only had this ability, so his contempt for Jiang Wei was even greater, Deng Ai felt that he had won this battle.

And Jiang Wei after a fight, he also found that Deng Ai was not as powerful as he imagined, if Deng Ai only had the level that he had just fought with him, he would definitely not be his opponent, at this time Jiang Wei's confidence increased greatly, and he rushed to Deng Ai in high spirits.

"Hehe, it's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers! But it's a pity, I can't ...... myself" Deng Ai saw Jiang Wei rushing over, smiled slightly, and raised his knife to meet him.

"Tom ......" The weapons of the two collided again, and after this collision, Deng Ai's body shook violently, and then clamped the horse hard to stabilize his body.

"That's a lot of strength!" Deng Ai was slightly stunned, but Deng Ai didn't have the time to be stunned at all, because Jiang Wei's second shot had already arrived.

"What a fast gun!" Deng Ai hurriedly twisted his arm and set up Jiang Wei's spear again, but immediately after, Jiang Wei's spear turned into a silver dragon and slammed into Deng Ai's chest along a tricky arc.

"It's not good, it's careless!" Deng Ai finally understood this, and Jiang Wei in front of him was definitely not as unbearable as he imagined. Deng Ai finally put Jiang Wei on the same level as himself, and Deng Ai immediately focused his attention and prepared to fight Jiang Wei with all his might.

It's a pity that Deng Ai is too late to do his best now. In the battle between masters, the victory or defeat is often in this moment, just now Jiang Wei has taken the initiative and is in an offensive situation, unless the opponent's martial arts are much higher than Jiang Wei, in order to slowly bring back the disadvantage, and Deng Ai and Jiang Wei's martial arts are only between the two Zhong, so once Jiang Wei occupies the initiative, it is difficult for Deng Ai to have a chance to recover the disadvantage.

Jiang Wei's offense was like a cloud of flowing water, constantly surging towards Deng Ai, like an endless river, endless, without stopping, and in the face of Jiang Wei's attack, Deng Ai could only defend very passively.

"I didn't expect this Jiang Wei to be so powerful, a light enemy lost the first move, it seems that it is difficult to win today!" A trace of helplessness rose in Deng Ai's heart. Deng Ai understands that in this situation, unless Jiang Wei makes a major mistake, he can have a chance to turn defeat into victory, but when his martial arts reach the level of Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, he is already perfect, and there is no big mistake at all.

Deng Ai knew that it was impossible to win today, so Deng Ai made a false move, wanting to escape from the battle circle, and where would Jiang Wei on the opposite side give Deng Ai a chance to escape, Jiang Wei's spear immediately changed the way of attacking, and the spear specially selected some important parts to attack, and attacked Deng Ai.

"Damn it!" Deng Ai suddenly felt that the pressure increased dramatically, and the direction of Jiang Wei's attack was Deng Ai's vital point, so that Deng Ai had to defend first, and then consider escaping.

……

The earth-shattering drumming sound in front reached Ma Chao's ears, and Ma Chao got up from the bed, walked out of the tent, and looked in the direction where the drums came from in front of him.

"Father, why did you come out......" Ma Qiu's voice came from the side.

"Qiu'er, accompany me to the front to have a look!" Ma Chao said.

"But father, the doctor said you should rest more and not pull the wound easily. You'd better go back to your account. ”

"It's okay, look at the hot fight ahead, how can I sit in this tent! Let's go, follow me and see. ”

Ma Qiu accompanied Ma Chao to the front of the battle, only to see Deng Ai and Jiang Wei fighting in front of him.

"Huh...... This Jiang Wei's martial arts are not bad! Ma Chao sighed softly, then Ma Chao turned his head to look at Ma Qiu, and then said: "Qiu'er, have you seen it, this Jiang Wei is younger than you, but I think his martial arts should be slightly stronger than yours." Therefore, you must not be proud, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. ”

"Yes, father." A trace of sourness rose in Ma Qiu's heart.

Ma Qiu has learned the sword skills handed down by the Ma family since he was a child, and his martial arts are also the best among his peers, so Ma Qiu is also very proud.

Ma Chao heard the sourness in Ma Qiu's tone, so he continued: "Xiaoqiu, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. When my father was young, I was like you, thinking that I was the best in the world, but later I met Zhang Fei, and I knew that there are still people in the world who are comparable to my father. Later, his father saw Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong again, and their martial arts were not under his father! I heard that before the Tiger Prison was passed, the first master, Guan and Zhang were combined to defeat Lu Bu, which shows that Lu Bu's bravery must be above his father...... It's just a pity that Lu Bu died early, and his father didn't have a chance to compete with him.

You are still young, you have great potential, and there is still room for improvement, but there are many people in the world who are about the same age as you, and there are many people who are stronger than you in martial arts. For example, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are only a few years older than you, and their martial arts should be between you and you; Jiang Wei and Deng Ai in front of you, their martial arts are slightly stronger than yours; There is another person, who is younger than you, but his martial arts are more powerful than his father......"

"Father, are you talking about Your Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is a genius in the sky, martial arts were no longer under his father a few years ago, and now I am afraid that it is even more powerful, I think only Lu Bu back then can be defeated by His Majesty!"

While Ma Chao's father and son were talking, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei had already entered a white heat. Deng Ai failed to get away several times, and he also tried his best, and began to use some lose-lose moves. And Jiang Wei found that Deng Ai was desperate, and the fierce temperament of the Northwest people in his bones also exuded, and the moves of the two became faster and faster, and more and more urgent. I saw the phantoms formed by weapons flying around the two of them, the horses pulling back and forth to make the dust on the ground fly, and the sparks formed by the collision of weapons continued to appear beside the two of them.

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei's moves made people feel dizzying, and the eyes of the soldiers on both sides could no longer capture the moves of the two, only some people with relatively high martial arts skills could still distinguish the moves of the two.

However, Jiang Wei always has an advantage, even if it is Deng Ai's life-fighting moves, Jiang Wei still has a great advantage, but because Deng Ai used some lose-lose moves, Jiang Wei had to leave some experience defense, which also made Jiang Wei's attack have a gap.

Finally, Deng Ai caught a gap in Jiang Wei's attack, and Deng Ai immediately dodged, pulled out and ran back.

"Deng Aixiu go!" Jiang Wei's spear shook and slammed into the back of Deng Ai's head. The spear stabbed at Deng Ai's helmet.

"Whew!" The moment the spear touched the leader, Deng Ai shrank his head violently, and the helmet rubbed against the spear and made a screeching sound.

"......" Deng Ai's helmet was picked by Jiang Wei and fell to the ground, and at the same time, several strands of hair fell from Jiang Wei's helmet, and Jiang Wei's spear head was still stained with a bloody scalp.

A long line of penetration had already appeared on Deng Ai's helmet, and Deng Ai's hair was also messed up by Jiang Wei, and at the same time, Jiang Wei swept away a piece of scalp the size of a thumbnail. However, Deng Ai didn't care about the pain on his head, and desperately urged the horse to run backwards.

"If you want to go, it's not that easy!" Jiang Wei drew his bow and arrow from behind him, and the arrow was fully wound and aimed at Deng Ai.

"Whoosh!" The sharp arrow detached from the string and turned into a black rainbow, hitting Deng Ai's heart.

At the same time, Deng Ai also drew his bow and prepared to shoot Jiang Wei, and when Deng Ai reflexively was about to aim at Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei's arrow just shot.

"Not good!" Deng Aiwang saw that the arrow in Jiang Wei's hand had already shot, and the flying arrow was flying towards him. In desperation, Deng Ai threw the bow in his hand and threw it at the arrow in the air.

After a crisp sound of "dong ......", the bow thrown by Deng Ai just smashed on the arrow shot by Jiang Wei, and the bow and arrow landed at the same time.

The bow in Deng Ai's hand was given to Deng Ai by Cao Pi, it was a first-class good bow, Deng Ai took this bow as a treasure on weekdays, and now it fell to the ground, Deng Ai was ready to go back and pick it up.

But at this moment, Jiang Wei's second arrow had already been wound.

Deng Ai glanced at his eyes and found that Jiang Wei's arrow had been wound, and after weighing the pros and cons, Deng Ai still felt that his life was more important, so Deng Ai didn't dare to turn back and pick up the bow, but rushed forward at an accelerated pace.

"Hey......" Ma Chao sighed slightly: "This Jiang Wei is still too young, Jiang Wei was anxious with the shot just now, if Deng Ai's gun was deflected down by two points just now, Deng Ai's head would be penetrated......"

……

Jiang Wei looked at Deng Ai in the distance, panting heavily.

It was the first time Jiang Wei had encountered such a powerful enemy, even if it was Guan Xing and Zhang Bao that Jiang Wei had encountered before, Jiang Wei didn't have to fight so hard.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's martial arts have very obvious characteristics, such as Guan Xing's knife technique focuses on knife posture, but it is not dexterous, and Zhang Bao's Zhangba snake spear is to take a fierce offensive line, and light defense. However, the obvious growth also means that there will be shortcomings and will be easy to target. But Deng Ai in front of him gave Jiang Wei the feeling of four words - as stable as Mount Tai.

Deng Ai's martial arts have no very obvious characteristics, and there are no obvious shortcomings, after fighting with Deng Ai, Jiang Wei feels that Deng Ai's is like a solid rock, difficult to shake, and there are no flaws.

Jiang Wei faintly felt that Deng Ai's martial arts were slightly higher than his own.

"Fortunately, Deng Ai came up and underestimated the enemy, so I took the lead, otherwise, we would not have to see the winner until three hundred rounds later......" Jiang Wei sighed softly.

……

In the distance, Deng Ai slapped his war horse fiercely, and as the distance got farther and farther, Deng Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Deng Ai found that his whole body was soaked with sweat, which was caused by the battle with Jiang Wei just now, but more of it was frightened out after Jiang Wei's shot hit the helmet in the end.

"It's so dangerous, it's almost like I lost my life today! I didn't expect Jiang Wei's reaction to be so fast, if Jiang Wei's gun was a little lower just now, my head would have to be pierced! After escaping, Deng Ai gradually calmed down.

"Today is still too light on the enemy, although that Jiang Wei's martial arts are not weak, but at most they are similar to me, maybe not as good as me, if you are careful, you will not almost lose your life at all! However, this Jiang Wei is only in his early twenties, and it is rare to have such martial arts! Deng Ai thought about it, and had already walked in front of the Qiang soldiers' military formation.

On the other side, a junior colonel had already picked up the bow left by Deng Ai and handed it over to Jiang Wei.

"Good bow!" Jiang Wei is also a knowledgeable person, when he got this bow, he immediately found out that it was a treasure bow, so he couldn't put it down.

"What a bow!" Jiang Wei exclaimed again. At this time, Ma Chao also came over.

"Huh......" Ma Chao also noticed the bow in Jiang Wei's hand.

"General Ma, please look!" When Jiang Wei saw Ma Chao coming, he immediately handed over the bow.

Ma Chao injured his shoulder, so he didn't pull the bow to give it a try, but with it in his hand like this, Ma Chao still felt that this bow was extraordinary.

"This bow is good, both in terms of material and workmanship, it can be called superb." Ma Chao said.

"If General Ma likes it, give this bow to the general!" Jiang Wei said with a smile.

"Hehehe, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, and besides, I'm used to copper and spears, not a bow." Ma Chao said, returned the bow to Jiang Wei, and asked at the same time, "Boyo, where did this bow come from?" ”

"This was just dropped by Deng Ai."

"Deng Ai left it?" A cold light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and then said: "No wonder, I am not wronged if I am injured under such a bow!" ”

……

This kind of small injury to the scalp was nothing to Deng Ai, but because of this defeat, Deng Ai lost the trust of the Qiang people.

Deng Ai has always been a Han person, in the eyes of the Qiang people, these Qiang people obey Deng Ai's command, and their hearts are very unhappy, and now Deng Ai is also defeated, which makes some Qiang people who don't like Deng Ai find an excuse to oppose Deng Ai.

The Qiang people are so brave, in the eyes of the vast majority of Qiang people, a defeated person, but also a Han people, can not continue to lead everyone, so when Deng Ai returned to the Qiang formation, several Qiang generals who can speak well greeted them, comforted Deng Ai and told Deng Ai in more obscure words, saying that because Deng Ai had just lost to Jiang Wei, the sergeant did not want Deng Ai to continue to lead the troops to fight against the Shu army.

"Hey, if it's not my race, its heart will be different, and the ancients will not deceive me......" Deng Ai muttered silently in his heart, and then reluctantly retreated to the camp to bandage the wound on his head.

After Deng Ai left, the Qiang army lacked a unified command, and the Qiang generals temporarily discussed it and selected a person with high moral integrity and superb martial arts to lead the troops. This toss has passed in the morning.

On the Shu side, because they are all infantry, and the number is smaller, they are unable to attack the Qiang people, so while the Qiang people on the opposite side choose a new commander according to the troops, Jiang Wei can only order people to be on guard and not move.

At noon, the sun has risen high, and with the onset of noon, the autumn tiger begins to exert its might.

Sweat dripped, and for a general like Jiang Wei, who was covered in armor, sweat soaked his whole body. On the contrary, because of his injury, Ma Chao did not pass on the armor, and became the most comfortable person at this time.

And the Qiang soldiers on the opposite side gradually couldn't stand the attack of the autumn tiger. The horses became restless because of the rising temperature, and the Qiang people were nomadic and could not farm or weave, so the Qiang soldiers wore clothes made of leather. These leathers are very good for keeping out the cold in winter, and can keep out the cold wind, but at such times, the breathable leather cover on the body is enough to make people suffer from heat stroke. Many Qiang people have already put their clothes down to their waists and are shirtless to relieve the heat.

In the camp of the Shu army, smoke rose one after another, telling the Qiang people on the opposite side that it was time to eat, and the Qiang sergeants also felt the hunger in their stomachs, and many people even took out the dry food they carried with them and sat on their horses to eat.

……

At the junction of Yongzhou and Jincheng, more than a dozen fast horses were heading west along the official road, and the horses were all white-eared elite soldiers of the Shu army.

"General, we have entered the territory of Jincheng!" A soldier said.

Zhang Wei nodded, waved the horsewhip fiercely, and said at the same time: "Everyone is working harder, maybe Your Majesty has already arrived in Jincheng!" ”
