Chapter 31: The First Battle of Ma Chao

The rapid loss of Yaxian County completely disrupted Gao Ye's plan after all. Originally, Gao Ye wanted to rely on the three cities of Yaxian, Suyi and Qihuan to form a full force to block the attack of the Xianbei army. After Bu Dugen's soldiers were exhausted under these three cities, Sima Yi's side thought that the victory and defeat had already been divided. Bingzhou himself has already sent Li Zhu out, and now it is time to put an end to it. If it can really go as smoothly as expected, it will not take a month, let alone repel Ma Teng, even if it is to take down the head of the step root.

It's a pity that now that Yaxian County has been lost, with only two cities left, it is difficult to implement it according to the original plan. Fortunately, it was time for Sima Yi to see the winner, and the situation in Bingzhou was also developing in the direction he expected. As long as he can drag Budugen's 50,000 army here for a month, victory can be expected. But his biggest problem now is in the number of troops, and the already insufficient troops are even more obvious after the loss of Yaxian. I don't know how many defeated soldiers can return to Suyi, but now, every soldier is very important to Gao Ye.

Compared with the sorrowful high night, there is a happy appearance in Yaxian. The county government of Yaxian County is even more staggered, so it is not lively. Yan Xing, Ma Chao, Bu Dugen and others gathered together to celebrate Ma Chao's achievements. After all, Ma Chao's record in Yaxian County on this day is really extraordinary in Bu Dugen's opinion. He Budugen also ruled Xianbei for nearly 20 years, and when he fought in the grass valley in the past, which time he attacked the city of the Han Dynasty, it was not a loss of troops and a thankless effort! But now such a city in Yaxian County was actually taken down by Ma Chao in one day, which also made Ma Chao's already not low reputation even louder. The name of Xiliang Jinma Chao is now known to everyone in the entire coalition army. Even when they were drinking, one or two of Ma Chao's subordinates were indispensable, and they were pulled by others to tell them more about Ma Chao's unknown heroic deeds!

The whole Yaxian County was happy for half a night, and this was the stop. If it weren't for Yan Xing's strong advocacy, if he wanted to take Suyi in one go, he would have to drink until dawn to stop according to Budugen's temperament. But even if it was only half a night, as the protagonist of the whole banquet, Ma Chao was still staggered by a crowd. Until the early morning of the next day, when the troops were dispatched, they still felt a little headache. Pang De, who was beside him, saw Ma Chao like this, and quietly persuaded Ma Chao to rest for half a day before sending troops. It's just that Ma Chao can manage so much, and his kind words appeased Pang De, and then turned over and gave the order to attack. For a while, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and they went straight to Suyi.

Don't look at Ma Chao was still a little unconscious before he got on the horse, but after galloping on the horse, he couldn't do a meal, and the whole person was a lot more energetic. Pang De, who was behind him, saw that Ma Chao had recovered a little, and his heart was also a little calmer. Speaking of which, Pang De was also suspicious, and at the dinner yesterday, he was very dissatisfied with Yan Xing's proposal. Everyone marched at full load, and these cavalry under Ma Chao had experienced a big battle, and the level of exhaustion could be imagined. But Yan Xing didn't care about this at all, but instead praised the young general of his own family, and used the reason of what kind of soldier is fast, and Ma Chao sent troops angrily. At that time, Pang De just felt that the soldiers and horses needed to rest, especially when facing a world-famous general like Gao Ye, I was afraid that it would be inappropriate to overdraft the army like this.

But Ma Chao has already agreed, what room can he refute? Moreover, Yan Xing's analysis is also reasonable, this time this time, he wants to use the three cities of Yaxian County to exhaust the offensive of the coalition army. Now that Yaxian County has been broken, it will inevitably disrupt all the deployments of Gao Ye. At this time, if you don't step up the attack, wait for Gao Ye to calm down, and then make arrangements, I am afraid that this battle will be even more difficult to fight. It's just that Yan Xing is really not a son of man, so if he wants Ma Chao to lead his troops to attack, he won't let Ma Chao have a good rest. and Bu Dugen seemed to have made an appointment, and Ma Chao was frequently persuaded to drink. Under the hangover, Ma Chao can lead the troops to attack today, and it is really fucking not easy.

But when I turn my head and think about it, how easy is it for Ma Chao to have today's prestige? It has been seven or eight years since he first followed Ma Teng into battle at the age of fourteen. Don't look at Ma Chao in his early twenties now, a few years younger than Pound, but this battlefield experience really doesn't have to be much less than Pound. When Han Sui and Ma Teng turned against each other, the twenty-year-old Ma Chao was Yan Xing, the first military general of the Han Sui Army at the peak of the war. When the gun was broken by Ma Chao, he was stunned and almost injured Ma Chao's neck with a broken spear. If it weren't for Ma Chao's quick reaction, I'm afraid that there would be no such powerful young general now. Now Yan Xing has gone downhill again, and he is no longer Ma Chao's opponent. Now in Xiliang, Ma Chao can be said to be the well-deserved first general of Xiliang.

But behind this glamorous scene, Ma Chao's dedication, in addition to Pound, who has been following left and right, how many people can know? get up before dawn to practice martial arts and equestrianism; On the battlefield, he took the lead and experienced many lives and deaths; It's a pity that Ma Teng has not paid much attention to Ma Chao since he had Ma Tie, his youngest son. I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that Ma Chao and these people would rather fight in the land of Qiang than go home. Maybe Ma Chao just wants to get ahead and prove to Ma Teng who is the future master of Xiliang.

The march was so boring, Pound's mind was no longer on the road, and he thought about it for a while, until a scout Pegasus came to report that he had found the army of the high night ahead, and then he was relieved. Ma Chao in front of him laughed and said: "I was going to look for him, but I didn't expect him to dare to bring troops to me!" Hmph, Lao Tzu is going to meet this world-famous high night today, how many catties and taels are there! ”

Although Pound didn't speak, he was also warlike in his heart. Gao Ye's age is not much older than Pound, but whether it is his record or status, he is not a star and a half taller than himself now. And although Pang De is in the northern Xinjiang, Gao Ye's prestige is still thunderous. After all, whether it is against the Xiongnu or Xianbei, Gao Ye has never been defeated, and which of those alien races on the grassland is not famous? Now that they are meeting on the battlefield, how can a fierce general like Pang De not want to compete with Gao Ye.

The two armies faced each other, each in formation, Ma Chao and Pang De looked at Gao Ye, and Gao Ye was also looking at Ma Chao carefully. Although Gao Ye had never seen Ma Chao, Ma Chao's appearance was recognizable at a glance. The face is like Fu powder, the lips are like smearing Zhu, the waist is thin and the shoulders are wide, the voice is strong, the white robe and silver armor, the spear in the hand, immediately in front of the military formation. Looking at Xiliang Army, although he is a strong general, the feeling of exhaustion on his body cannot be concealed in any way.

Gao Ye hadn't spoken yet, but Ma Chao was prancing on his horse and raising his gun, and walked out of the formation. Raising the spear in his hand, he shouted: "The opposite side is coming, but it's a high night!" Gao Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he hadn't come out yet, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to be eager to try, and he was a little arrogant, as if he didn't put himself in his eyes at all. But it is understandable, after all, Ma Chao is also a teenager who became famous, so he will naturally have the habit of being a young man. Think about when you were young, didn't you look like you were beaten like this?

Therefore, Gao Ye just smiled, beat the horse and slowly came out, glanced at Ma Chao up and down, and then smiled: "Yes, I am the Great Han Situ, Gao Ye Gao Mingxi, like a fake." After that, he glanced up and down at Ma Chao a few times, and said in a very disdainful tone: "I have heard that Ma Teng has a son, what is Ma Chao's, what kind of power is it that shocks Xiliang, depending on the age, I think it's you, right?" can kill Han De, but it can be regarded as a bit of ability. ”

Gao Ye used three things in a row, and the disdainful tone, as if he was not worth mentioning, made Ma Chao angry. I haven't been despised like this for many years, not to mention that I took a city in Gao Ye yesterday and disrupted all of Gao Ye's plans, why can Gao Ye despise himself so much?

In fact, Gao Ye really didn't have the slightest contempt for Ma Chao, but attached great importance to Ma Chao. If Ma Chao and Gao Ye had known each other for many years, they would know that Gao Ye would not talk nonsense at all when facing the opponent he despised. The current situation has already been seen, and I am afraid that it will be impossible not to fight. What's more, he still has a little arrangement, and the fighting generals are also to gain time. Moreover, Gao Ye was very keen to find that Ma Chao's state was not perfect, although it was just a movement of rubbing his eyes, but Gao Ye still captured the fact that he was afraid that he didn't rest well enough last night. The state is not good, and after being provoked, Gao Ye feels that even if Ma Chao is possessed by Yingbu and Han Xin today, he can deal with it with ease.

It's just that Ma Chao didn't think about it so much at all, and as soon as his anger came up, he shouted: "How dare a dog thief look down on me!" See if I don't take your dog's life! "Say a dance of spears, and go straight to the high night to kill. Gao Ye smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "I'm not old, but my tone is not small!" I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue! Seeing Ma Chao's long spear stabbed out, Gao Ye slammed the gold and boring in one fell swoop, pushed and pulled, and easily dissolved Ma Chao's shot. Not only Ma Chao was a little stunned, but even Pang De off the field was a little shocked. Ma Chao's shot, people borrowed the horse's momentum, and it was a hard blow, which can be described as hugely powerful. But Gao Ye didn't even move the horse, so he easily defused this trick. I've all heard of Gao Ye's martial arts, but I didn't expect it to be so high.

Ma Chao and Gao Ye made a mistake, the whole person was a stumbling person, who had never felt Tai Chi, and for the first time felt what it meant to be too forceful, it was indeed a little difficult to adapt. It was easy to stabilize his figure, and he turned around, only to see that Gao Ye had already driven the horse, and the gold boring in his hand was held high, and he smashed it into himself. Ma Chao also did not show weakness, waved his spear, and fought Gao Ye with this shot. Although Ma Chao didn't know how Gao Ye had defused his gun just now, since he didn't dare to hit it hard, his strength must be his shortcoming. But who would have thought that this trick had been handed over, Ma Chao couldn't help but be surprised, who would have thought that this high night's strength was no worse than himself!

As soon as the two horses pedaled by mistake, they all hurriedly turned around, and Gao Ye sneered again: "Ma Mengqi, if you have such a little ability, you should return to your father's wing as soon as possible, the battlefield is speechless, don't let your father send a white-haired person to a black-haired person!" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was even more angry, raised his gun and shouted: "Gao Ye, it is not known who killed the deer!" Give me my life! ”
