Early the next morning, Li Yuanhao ignored Diao Yue'e, who was camped in the north of the city, and led 5,000 soldiers to the south of Cangsong City, shouting loudly at the city: "Listen to the defenders at the head of the city, I have heard that your master Ma Chao is a brave man, but he is not convinced in his heart. Go and tell him that if you want to prove your bravery, you dare to go out of the city and fight me? I only have 5,000 people under my command, if you don't dare, I won't say anything, but don't worry about the word brave in the future, you don't have to shame these two words, and if you admit that you are not a hero, you can also directly lead 12,000 people to surround me and destroy me. ”

At this time, Ma Chao happened to be at the head of the city, mainly because of the conflict with Diao Yue'e, he didn't want to see the other party, so he simply patrolled the city at the farthest place from her, so he chose to patrol in the south of the city.

Originally, Ma Chao didn't care about Li Yuanhao's words, but the words of being rescued by a woman just violated the biggest taboo in his heart, so Ma Chao immediately stood on the city tower, pointed at Li Yuanhao and said: "Traitor Li Yuanhao, don't run, today Ma Ye wants to teach you a good lesson, let you see how powerful Ma Ye is!" ”

After finishing speaking, the furious Ma Chao immediately ordered five hundred cavalry and ordered to go out of the city to teach Li Yuanhao a good lesson.

At this time, I saw Shi Liangmao, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, saying: "The Metropolitan Governor, this Li Yuanhao led such a small number of people to talk to the Metropolitan Governor in such a tone, it is obviously a deception, and the Metropolitan Governor is not light, which is related to the safety of the entire Cangsong City, but he can't easily take risks." ”

Ma Chao said: "It's okay, Your Majesty's army will arrive tomorrow, I only send five hundred cavalry to fight, even if something happens, it won't bring any danger to Cangsong City, not to mention, with the bravery of my army, how can anything happen to deal with Li Yuanhao's defeated general?" ”

Then Ma Chao did not listen to Liang Mao's advice, led his five hundred cavalry, went out of the city gate, and killed Li Yuanhao's army directly.

Although it was only 500 cavalry, the soldiers under Ma Chao's command were all brave, like a sharp sword, and quickly killed Li Yuanhao's military formation.

Li Yuanhao took advantage of the well-laid formation, only slightly resisted, and then ordered a retreat in a panic.

"Where to go? Li Yuanhao is a traitor, today is the time when you die! "Ma Chao saw Li Yuanhao withdrawing, where would he let him go? immediately led his troops to catch up, and secretly swore in his heart that this time he would never let him run away, and he must slash this traitor with his hand and get out of his heart.

"Let's go!" Li Yuanhao saw that Ma Chao really caught up, and with a panicked face, he continued to lead the army to escape, but when he turned his head, there was a sneer on his face.

"Ma Chao Pifu, sure enough, rushed up, you must chase down, don't let me down, hehe, today is the time for you to die!"

Li Yuanhao led the army to flee for nearly twenty miles, stopped in front of a dense forest, turned around, and smiled at Ma Chao, who was still in hot pursuit: "Ma Chao, I really didn't expect you to really catch up, since you came, don't go!" ”

As he waved the flag, he heard the shouts around him, and then the feather arrows shot densely like locusts, Ma Chao's side of the soldiers was few, the target was even more concentrated, and immediately became the target of the other party, only to hear the screams endlessly, a round of arrow rain down, there were hundreds of people turned into hedgehogs, this is still the soldiers found that the situation was wrong, immediately narrowed the defensive circle, the peripheral soldiers will be tightly guarded inside, this caused the loss of this point, if you maintain the previous pursuit of the formation, It is estimated that these 500 people will be lost 89 out of 10.

"Damn, you've been tricked!" Ma Chao put the spear in his hand and scolded loudly: "Traitor Li Yuanhao, despicable and shameless villain, don't you want to fight against Ma Ye fairly?" I really didn't expect you to fight against my 500 people with 5,000 people, and you would still use this conspiracy and trickery, is it a shame? If there is a kind of words, withdraw the ambush soldiers, let's fight fairly, and you will definitely die on the spot! ”

But I saw Li Yuanhao laughing and said: "The husband fights wits but not strength, back then, your Han Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for hegemony, not by courage, but by wisdom, your master Liu He fought the world, and the test was not absolute strength, but wisdom, I really didn't expect you, as a Han person, to even understand this truth, it's really disappointing." ”

"Hmph, don't be ashamed, but be proud, a villain like you won't talk about any faith at all, I shouldn't have believed you, it's a pity, those good brothers who died in battle!"

When Ma Chao said this, his voice was very low, and his heart was full of anger, but he knew that now was not the time for revenge, and he had to lead the army to break out now, otherwise he didn't care, but I am afraid that none of these soldiers under his command would survive.

So he immediately gave the order, and the army quickly broke through.

However, at this moment, I saw Li Yuanhao's order flag waved, and then I heard a shout, Ma Chao's face turned dark, and another team came to block his back road.

"Humph! Don't think that's it, let's rush out together! Although surrounded on all sides, Ma Chao still did not give up, leading nearly 400 soldiers behind him to fight along the same road.

However, what made Ma Chao feel depressed was that just after he led the army to go far, he found that there were rows of soldiers with spears and shields in his retreat, and these soldiers formed a strong position, making it difficult for Ma Chao's cavalry to break through.

At the same time, the sergeants from all walks of life also launched an attack, tightly surrounding Ma Chao's 400 army divisions in the core.

"We must break out, the advantage of cavalry is mainly in mobility, once trapped in the core, our advantage will all disappear, and we will become a meat target for the enemy." Ma Chao clenched his silver teeth, and after thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "Brothers, don't stop, kill with me!" ”

But I saw some soldiers around me and said: "General, leave us alone, you can break through and go by yourself!" ”

"Yes, General, you are riding a BMW, coupled with your skills, it is easy to break out of the encirclement, there is no need to delay the opportunity for us, once the thieves form an encirclement, we are all finished, even you, the general, I'm afraid it is not so easy to leave."

"You, hmph, what do you say, let me turn my back on my warrior and escape alone? How can I do this? I brought you here, and I will be responsible for taking you away, and no one will be missing, even if you die here, there will be no complaints! ”

Ma Chao did have a trace of hesitation before, after all, at the moment of life and death, anyone would hesitate, but when he thought that he would not have the face to see Liu He after he went back, and he would be ridiculed by Diao Yue'e's girl, he was really ashamed in his heart, so he immediately made up his mind that even if it was death, he would lead the soldiers to escape.

At this moment, I only heard a pleasant female voice from behind: "What a righteous Jin Ma Chao, just look at your words, I will rescue you and these righteous people under your command today!" ”
