Chapter 8 Zhang He VS Ma Chao
"Big brother, no, that Zhang He refuses to pursue!" Ma Dai took the soldiers and horses to the north for twenty miles, joined Ma Chao, and said with a wry smile: "This person has excellent martial arts, and I am not his opponent." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Oh?" Ma Chao's eyes lit up: "Outstanding martial arts, then I will meet him for a while!" ”
Although Ma Dai's martial arts are not top-notch, he has also obtained the true inheritance of the Ma family, and his sword skills are quite popular, plus he has participated in countless battles in the past year, and he has been instructed by Lu Bu, under Lu Bu's account, in addition to Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, the first-rate echelon, among the second-rate echelon, Ma Dai's martial arts are the top.
Can make Ma Dai willingly admit that he is inferior to his opponent, that Zhang He's strength may have entered the strength of the first echelon of generals under Lu Bu, so that Ma Chao has a sense of excitement to see the hunting, and now he gathered Ma Dai's two thousand soldiers and horses, and the eight thousand army slaughtered under the city of Mayi.
When Ma Chao arrived with a light horse, Zhang He and Fu Zhu were worried that the enemy army would go and return, and did not leave, but stepped up defense, seeing that the enemy army came nearly 10,000 people at once, Zhang He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise, it is really possible to catch the other party's way, and immediately hugged his fist to Fu Zhu: "If it is not for the military advisor to remind, Zhang He is afraid of accidents!" ”
"Jun Yi's words are heavy." Fu Zhi waved his hand, looking at the army coming below, all the cavalry, with the general's order, they all stopped at the place where they were a stone's throw, their movements were neat, obviously well-trained.
Ma Chao dragged a spear to the city wall, raised his gun and pointed at the city wall, and said loudly: "I am Xiliang Ma Chao, where is Zhang He, dare to go out of the city to compete with me!?" ”
When Zhang He heard this, he raised his sword eyebrows, and was about to go down to the city to fight, but he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Xiliang Ma is super powerful and invincible!" ”
Different from Ma Dai's nameless origin, Ma Xuanwei has been played a few years ago, although he is a literati strategist, but it is not unreasonable, Zhang He, as the chief general of the three armies, is good if he wins, but if he loses, it is easy to frustrate the morale of the three armies.
"Why does the military advisor increase the morale of others, and see how I break the enemy!" Zhang He said with a smile: "Ma Chao is powerful and shocking Xiliang, that's because he is no longer in Jizhou!" ”
As a general, he naturally has the arrogance of a general, and he is understandable to consider the overall situation, but if he refuses to fight, he may not be affected by the morale of the three armies, but he Zhang He is about to bear the name of fearing war, at this time Zhang He, is in the golden age, although he is humble on weekdays, but also has the arrogance of a martial artist, regardless of the opposition of frustration, he led the three thousand cavalry in the city out of the city to drown.
"Ma Chaoxiu is going to be arrogant, I'll meet you!" The steel gun in his hand flashed, and a little cold star reflected the sunlight and stabbed at Ma Chao's throat.
Ma Chao saw Zhang He fighting, couldn't help but be overjoyed, waved the spear at the moment, and Zhang He fought in one place, the silver gun in his hand with a tragic killing atmosphere, like a stormy wave to Zhang He, although Zhang He's marksmanship is not as vicious as Ma Chao, but it is calm and ruthless, the gun attack will save the enemy, Ma Chao is brave, for a time I can't help the other party, the two of them fought for forty or fifty times and it is difficult to distinguish from each other, Ma Chao is more and more frustrated, the momentum around the body is more and more fierce, the silver gun in his hand said, with the Taoist afterimage, even at the expense of injury, That violent energy suppressed Zhang He.
Generals compete, sometimes in the case of similar strength, the fight is momentum, the horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the stunned is afraid of dying, and Ma Chao at this moment, Zhang He feels that he is not dying, and he is cowardly all his life, and his momentum suddenly shrank a lot, and he was gradually suppressed by Ma Chao, plus Ma Dai and Ma Tie swept the formation on the side, at first the two were quite equal, but at this moment, the momentum was discharged, and the pressure brought by the two really fell on Zhang He.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought over Lily, and Zhang He suddenly shook a shot, forcing Ma Chao to retreat, and then turned the horse's head and ran.
Ma Chao was stunned, and then laughed, with a rough laugh, and the eight thousand cavalry behind him saw that their main general had won for a while, and they cheered loudly, and the sound moved the sky, listening to the ears of the defenders, it was extremely harsh, and the morale also declined.
Zhang He returned to the city wall in embarrassment, and hugged his fists to Fu Yu with a ashamed face: "I regret not listening to the words of the military advisor!" ”
"It's okay!" Frustrated and sighed secretly, but right now, it was definitely not the time to blame Zhang He, he shook his head and said: "Ma Chao is brave, he can't be rivaled by his strength, Lu Bu's cavalry is unparalleled, but it is not conducive to attacking the city, our army now has the advantage of fortifying the city, and there is enough food and grass, just hold on, and when its sharp energy is exhausted, it will be the time for our army to break the enemy." ”
"Obey the orders of the military division." Zhang He sighed, ordered people to hang up the battle exemption card, and no longer moved the idea of going out of the city to destroy the enemy.
Under the city, Ma Dai saw that the defenders hung up the war-free card, rode his horse to Ma Chao's body, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, it seems that Zhang He is afraid of us, and when he hung up the war-free card, I am afraid it will be more difficult to lure him out of the city again." ”
"Don't want to get out of town?" Ma Chao looked at Yuan Jun on the city wall and sneered: "Then force him out of the city, you and Brother Tie each take two thousand people and fire arrows around the city!" I'm leading the Chinese army,"
"Whoa!" Ma Dai and Ma Tie bowed down to answer the order, each ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses, and fired arrows around Ma Yi.
This is the usual tactics of the Hu people, especially with Lu Bu's improved strong bow, the range is longer, 4,000 men and horses run around the city, one by one sharp arrows break through the air, the soldiers defending the city want to counterattack, but the other party is dipped away, and there is no trace of the enemy at all.
On the city tower, he frowned slightly, watching the soldiers defending the city under the ravages of the enemy's arrows, unable to raise their heads, and the already low morale was even more decadent, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and carefully observing the enemy's action patterns.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhang He didn't listen to the movement on the city wall, commanding the soldiers to shoot the enemy, but unfortunately, the other party was cavalry, coming and going like the wind, Ma Chao even asked Ma Dai and Ma Tie to scatter their soldiers and horses, divided into dozens of teams, and scattered the distance, so that the defenders' arrow clusters continued to fail, set up for a long time, with little effect.
Seeing that Ma Chao had ordered someone to get out of Chongchengmu, he was about to attack, and his heart moved, and he ordered someone to summon Zhang He and said: "You can order the soldiers to release arrows at the same time, you don't have to deliberately aim at the enemy, ten thousand arrows will definitely cause casualties to the enemy, and you dare not despise our army." ”
Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered someone to give orders, the long horn sounded on the city wall, and Ma Chao, who was commanding more than a dozen wrestlers to prepare to rush to the city, heard the sound and looked, but saw a black and oppressive arrow rain rising from the city, gathering into a dense rain of arrows in the sky, like a circle of dark clouds overwhelmingly pressing down on the ground, his face couldn't help but change, and he said sharply: "Quick, Mingjin retreats!" ”
It's a pity that it's too late, under the overwhelming arrow clusters, the four thousand soldiers and horses who are galloping from themselves have been hit hard, and under the indiscriminate coverage of the arrow rain, there is no time to escape, and they are shot down by the dense arrow clusters, and the sound of gold sounds, Ma Dai and Ma Tie retreated with the men and horses in embarrassment, and counted them, just a round of arrow rain attacks, and shot and killed thousands of soldiers.
"What a Zhang He, but I underestimated him! Command all departments, collect troops and return to the camp! After Ma Chao received the battle report, he hated it in his heart, and saw that the siege was hopeless, so he could only take the soldiers and horses back ten miles to the village, while sending people to report to Lu Bu, and at the same time sending scouts to closely monitor the movements of Ma Yi in all directions.
On the city tower, seeing Ma Chao's retreat, Zhang He said excitedly: "Military division, this is the time to pursue the enemy. ”
"No." Fu Zhu shook his head: "They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and there are only 3,000 cavalry in our army, if you chase at this time, you will be injured by it, the general should not be anxious, and wait and see what happens!" I look at Ma Chao, although he has a strategy, but he is as anxious as a fire, he only needs to exhaust his sharp energy, and when his heart is anxious, he will reveal his flaws. ”
When Zhang He heard this, he no longer said war, but continued to strengthen his vigilance, and at the same time sent someone to notify the Quartet City to hold on, and only after Ma Chao revealed his flaws, he annihilated him in one fell swoop.
However, compared to Zhang He, he is not optimistic, if the opponent is only Ma Chao, it is easy to deal with, what he is most worried about is that Lu Bu's army is out together, if it was a year ago, maybe he could also use the words of courage and resourcelessness to attack Lu Bu, when Lu Bu was under Yuan Shao, he did show a bit of courage and resourcelessness.
But time has changed, as Lu Bu swept across the grassland, instigated Xianbei civil strife, and buried Xianbei's 250,000 main forces in one fell swoop, until now, no one dares to use these four words to describe Lu Bu, if Lu Bu is in person, with his current reputation in the north and Lu Bu's identity as a native of Bingzhou, for Yuan Shaojun, it will be a real disaster.
It's just that even Fu Zhu knows very well that Ma Chao's 8,000 soldiers and horses going south this time can never be Ma Chao's own personal wishes, Lu Bu's strict governance of the army, and the prestige of the army, even if Ma Chao is reckless, it is impossible to take away the 8,000 army privately.
Sure enough, with Ma Chao's retreat of ten miles to the village, but three days, Fu Zhu got the news that made him feel desperate, Lu Bu personally led 70,000 Ma Bu troops to the south, and at the same time, the defeat of the battle of Guandu also spread to Bingzhou.
"Strategist, the lord has been defeated!?" Being in the rear, I can't go to the front line to feel the pressure from Cao's army, but judging from the number of armies on both sides, Yuan Shao's mighty army of hundreds of thousands went south, and Cao Cao was only tens of thousands, in any case, before this, no one thought that Yuan Shao would be defeated, not to mention Zhang He, that is, many civil and military forces under Cao Cao's account secretly presented a letter of surrender to Yuan Shao in the last period.
"yes, defeated!" Frustrated Professor sighed leisurely, compared to Zhang He's incredible, Frustrated Professor had already expected Yuan Shao's defeat before, but he was not too surprised at this moment, but said bitterly: "Brother Yuan Hao, life is over!" ”
After this battle, Fu Zhu can also see Yuan Shao's personality clearly, if Yuan Shao wins, it is okay, as long as their subordinates say some good things, they will be able to save Tian Feng's life, but unfortunately, Yuan Shao was defeated, which proves that Tian Feng was right at that time, with Yuan Shao's mind, I am afraid that Tian Feng will not let Tian Feng go.
