Just when Ma Chao arranged everything and wanted to take a break, Tan Ma reported:

"Report to the general, Huang Zhongjun is less than three miles away from Hanzhong City, and it is expected to arrive at Hanzhong City in a quarter of an hour!"

"Got it, keep looking!" Ma Chao sighed secretly: "Huang Zhong, this guy is still stuck in time, he doesn't want me to rest, then I'll go and meet him!" So he told the soldiers to prepare their guns and horses, and go to the head of the city.

At this time, there was a report from Tanmalay: "Report to the general, I found an army of about 10,000 people, starting from Shangyong City, and the target is in the direction of my Hanzhong City!" ”

"Who leads the troops? Do you have siege engines? ”

"The battalion general flag is 'Zhang', 10,000 are infantry, there are siege equipment such as wells and rushing cars in the army, and it is expected to arrive under the city of Hanzhong in three days!"

"Well, keep inquiring!" Ma Chao finally understood now, it turned out that Huang Zhong was only a vanguard force, and Ma Chao was curious before, how could Huang Zhong, who was not valued by Liu Biao, lead the troops as a general alone, and thought that Huang Zhong had also crossed over! And Liu Biao's subordinate surnamed Zhang, and he can be a general, there is no doubt that Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew, and he is deeply used by Liu Biao, and it is normal for Liu Biao to let him be! It seems that this time Liu Biao really moved the idea of defeating Hanzhong, Zhang Yun is the general of the army under Liu Biao, holding heavy troops, and carrying so many siege equipment, Hanzhong is in danger...

Ma Chao took a breath and calmed himself down, no matter what the situation is, he is now the chief general of Hanzhong City, but he must not panic, if he does not panic, Hanzhong City will not be chaotic, and the soldiers will have the backbone!

The current situation is getting more and more severe, it seems that the corps of the world can't tolerate the Xiliang army to occupy Hanzhong, for fear that a second Dong Zhuo will appear in Xiliang! Even Liu Biao, who has always been honest and conservative, sent troops to attack Hanzhong, thinking that Ma Chaoshang was young and easy to bully, and wanted to destroy him before he grew up!

Ma Chao must find a way to defeat Huang Zhongjun within three days, otherwise once Huang Zhong and Zhang Yun join forces, they will form a numerical advantage, and it will be a long-term tug-of-war and war of attrition.

At this time, Huang Zhongjun had come to the city of Hanzhong, so Ma Chao walked up to the city, only to see a general about fifty years old sitting on a white horse, with a long white beard, eyes like a star, holding a red blood sword, carrying a longbow on his back, hanging an arrow pot on his waist, and a big flag with the word "yellow" next to him waving in the wind, it must be Huang Zhong! So he cried out:

"Under the city, it's General Huang Hansheng?"

"It's the general, the little general knows the old man?"

"A certain Xiliang Jin Ma Chao is also, I have heard for a long time that General Huang is strong in martial arts, and his bow skills are a must, he can open two hundred stone bows, the power is infinite, and he can hit one hundred shots!"

"The little general has won the award, and the old man has also heard that Ma Chao, the son of Xiliang, is a young man who is quite extraordinary!"

"It's better to be famous than to meet, and meeting is fate, I don't know what General Huang is here to call it? Did you bring so many soldiers to attack my Hanzhong City? ”

"The little general's words are wrong, Hanzhong is the Hanzhong City of the Son of Heaven, and it is the Hanzhong City of our ally Zhang Lu, but I have never heard of Hanzhong City when the surname is Ma? My lord Liu Biao was ordered by the Son of Heaven to let me wait to come and take back Hanzhong City, if the little general is willing to give up Hanzhong City, everything will be closed, otherwise my soldiers will be unwelcome! ”

"Chao has never heard that Zhang Lu and Liu Biao are allies, Zhang Lu is perverse, and wants to follow the Yellow Turban Rebellion to develop the Heavenly Master Sect. If you say that you are ordered by the Son of Heaven, can there be a holy purpose? It can be taken to give the general a look, if it is really the order of the Son of Heaven, he will immediately lead the army to leave Hanzhong City! If there is no holy decree, it is a great crime of deceiving the king by falsely spreading the order of the Son of Heaven, and it is beyond the destiny of the Son of Heaven to be the son of heaven and fight Liu Biao with all the princes! ”

Huang Zhong's intelligence is 60, and his politics is only 52, in terms of tongue and kung fu, which is the opponent of crossing the male horse chao, so he said angrily: "Let you have sharp teeth and sharp teeth, and your tongue is lotus, this matter can't be good, I am just a pioneer, there is still an army of lords behind, if you don't open the door to offer the city, don't blame the old man soldiers for coming to the city, and kill Deer and other pieces of armor!" ”

Ma Chao saw that Huang Zhongjun was well-trained, the formation was clear, the spearmen were in front, the archers were behind, and Huang Zhong was good at archery, and the archers he brought out were naturally extraordinary, so he gave up the idea of cavalry assault. The enemy's formation is not chaotic, and the archers are stationed on the small hillside, if you forcibly use cavalry to assault, the cost is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses, so Ma Chao plans to take a predetermined plan - and Huang Zhong go head-to-head!

"Since you and I can't argue, and my Hanzhong City is thick with high walls, it is impossible for you to attack it with more than 10,000 spearmen and crossbowmen, it is better for us to fight it out alone, if General Huang wins the general, the general is willing to give up the Hanzhong City, if the general wins by luck, General Huang will immediately withdraw his troops, and he will go back from where he comes from, and the general will dare to fight?"

Huang Zhong is best at kung fu immediately, a martial arts has not yet met the opponent, but he is afraid of the world of Jingzhou Naishi clan, a martial artist like Huang Zhong with no background is really difficult to be reused, and there has been no chance to perform, at this moment the opportunity is coming, where can I still bear it, so I hold the knife and step forward: "Why don't you dare!" ”

So Ma Chao picked up his gun and mounted his horse, leading 5,000 infantry out of the city to meet him, and with the sound of drums, the two began a fierce battle. Huang Zhong is proficient in swordsmanship, infinitely powerful, and Ma Chao is also outstanding in gunmanship, and a bright silver gun has not been defeated. At the beginning, the two were not very familiar with each other's moves, and they were more cautious in their moves, only to see the two of them see the moves, you come and go, and they can't have the upper hand, and soon more than 100 rounds have passed, at this time the two sides have been familiar with each other's tactics, and they can't take advantage of each other's moves, so they began to compete for strength; I saw Huang Zhong slash at Ma Chao with a knife, Ma Chao hurriedly blocked with the head of the gun, the knife was pressed by Huang Zhong to Ma Chao, and was pushed back by Ma Chao forcefully, until the two of them were red-faced, and the strength was also quite equal, no one could help anyone, and fought for fifty rounds.

On the second day, Ma Chao continued to lead 5,000 infantry out of the city, and a day had passed, although Ma Chao tried his best and failed to take Huang Zhong, but after all, he successfully delayed for a day according to the predetermined strategy, and it is estimated that Pound will return to Hanzhong City tomorrow. And Huang Zhongjun did relax his vigilance, and the troops on both sides gathered around and watched the battle seriously. This level of battle is rare for ordinary soldiers to encounter once in their lives, so they naturally watch it with relish.

Like yesterday, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong fought again for a hundred rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, at this time Huang Zhong frowned and took it to heart.
