Chapter 420: Changing Formations and Scattering Stars
    As soon as Ma Chao stood up, the morale of the Yizhou army was suddenly greatly boosted.
    Ma Chao was injured, these soldiers all knew about it, otherwise, they would not have retreated in a hurry when they were outside Tongguan.
    But now, they were restrained by the chasing soldiers in Tongguan, but Ma Chao did not hesitate to aggravate his injuries and stood firmly by the side of the Yizhou sergeant.
    In this way, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army were greatly moved, and the combat effectiveness that broke out suddenly surged.
     Feeling the pressure brought by the Yizhou sergeant, Xu Rong also saw Ma Chao walking towards him. Faintly, Xu Rong felt that a danger was approaching him.
    "Spear thrower, watch the main general chasing the opponent, throw! Xu Rong looked at Ma Chao, who was slowly approaching step by step, and immediately ordered the spear-throwing warrior beside him.
    The spear thrower is the back hand of the previous Fa Zheng. On the day Xu Rong arrived at Tongguan, he also happened to see the tragedy caused by the spear-throwing soldiers to the Yizhou soldiers.
    At this moment, seeing Ma Chao walking towards the shield array where he was, Xu Rong naturally hoped that the spear thrower could kill Ma Chao. However, Xu Rong also knew that if Ma Chao was so easy to kill, he would rush out and confront Ma Chao himself.
    After receiving Xu Rong's order, the spear-throwing warrior also quickly divided some of the soldiers and threw the short spear in his hand at Ma Chao.
    Ma Chao saw that more than a dozen short spears flew out of the circular array, and he didn't dodge, and the tiger head Zhan golden spear in his hand waved it, which was to push away all those short spears.
    Sure enough, there is still no way to cause trouble to people at Ma Chao's level. Although Xu Rong foresaw this situation, when he really found that there was no way to cause any trouble to Ma Chao, Xu Rong was still a little disappointed.
    Comparison of the shield array and the spear array. The shield array is much weaker. After all, the soldiers in the shield array are not real pikemen. As long as the soldiers of the Yizhou army dared to come up and give it a try, they would be able to find this thorny turtle. It's just a green-haired turtle.
    Of course, now there is no need to wait for those soldiers of the Yizhou Army to come up and try, Ma Chao has already tried the water in the shield array.
    melee combat is really a weakness for spear throwers, even if they have been specially trained by Koji to fight in their melee combat.
    But it's this time. Not to mention that melee combat is the weakness of spear throwers, even if these spear throwers are not good at hand-to-hand combat, then they can only be used as such.
    However, fortunately, the soldiers who first entered the camp were all trained in close combat. Therefore, these soldiers do not matter what kind of army they are. They all wore short knives on their bodies.
    Seeing that he couldn't be blinded, Xu Rong was also decisive, and directly ordered the spear throwers and shield soldiers to pick up the short knives in their hands and kill the surrounding Yizhou soldiers than then.
     And at this time, Xu Rong also found Ma Chao. Although Xu Rong knew that the gap between himself and Ma Chao was a bit big. But at this moment, if Xu Rong is not up, then who will be on it?
     Anyway, Xu Rong is also a general. Even if there is a gap with Ma Chao, it can be entangled for a while. But if other soldiers are allowed to go up, then they will only be sent to death.
    Some people may be surprised. Hundreds of soldiers who first boarded the camp, not to mention others, even stood and let Ma Chao come to kill, and they had to make Ma Chao tired enough.
    But don't forget, Ma Chao is not fighting alone. On his side, there was a Yizhou army that outnumbered the soldiers of the first battalion. Even the spear round formation of the first camp attracted half of the Yizhou sergeants. The Yizhou army besieging the shield array also had more than a thousand people.
    Ma Chao watched Xu Rong kill towards him, and suddenly showed a disdainful expression on his face. Do you really think you are hurt? Is it that any cat or dog can come to pet the tiger's whiskers?
    And the Yizhou sergeant who surrounded the spear round formation of the first camp saw that the shield array of the first camp was so easily broken, and immediately took it for granted that the spear round array in front of him was just a kind of goods. In order to earn military merit. Those soldiers of the Yizhou Army immediately rushed towards the spear formation.
    It's just that they were greeted not by scattered soldiers who had ascended the camp, but by spears glowing with cold light and cold crossbow arrows.
    The shield array is a kind of goods, and that's just because there is Ma Chao, who will definitely be able to break through the shield array. As for the spear round formation, it is one of the strongest lineups in the first camp. If you let the shield soldiers circle around the spear circle, it will be a complete version of the first camp formation.
    Ma Chao and Xu Rong's battle, Ma Chao had the upper hand without the slightest doubt at that time. However, Xu Rong's purpose is not to compete with Ma Chao, but just to contain Ma Chao.
    The soldiers who first entered the camp were all elite, but they did not suffer the slightest loss in the face of almost twice their own Yizhou soldiers.
    In this way, how can Ma Chao fight Xu Rong with peace of mind?
    Why would Ma Chao rather go into battle with injuries, isn't it just that he hopes to let these Yizhou troops do their best to solve this chasing army of the imperial court?
     This is good, if it goes on like this, this chasing army is not only unable to solve it, but they may fall into it.
    Now, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army, that is, the advantage of having more people, can still stalemate with the pursuers of the imperial court for a while, and wait until a long time, or the second batch of pursuers from Tongguan arrive, then Ma Chao and they will be completely finished.
    As soon as he thought of this, Ma Chao suddenly sped up the speed of the spear in his hand, wanting to solve Xu Rong as much as possible.
    Xu Rong didn't notice it, and was immediately swept by the spear in Ma Chao's hand. But even so, Xu Rong had no way to retreat, no matter what, he needed to entangle Ma Chao, at least not let Ma Chao spare his strength to break the spear array.
    At this time, Ko Yi hurriedly whipped his horse and rushed towards the place where the Yizhou army was fighting.
    Knowing that the first camp would be ambushed, Ko Yi was anxious and couldn't wait to fly directly to the place where the first camp was now.
    And after that, Ye Mo personally led three thousand soldiers and quickly advanced towards the road of pursuing the first camp. Of course, this is said to be fast, but these three thousand are all foot soldiers, how fast can they go?
    "Lord, General Xu Rong will be fine with the first camp, right?" Ye Mo, Fa Zheng and the others were riding on horses at this time, following the fast-moving imperial court soldiers, but they seemed a little leisurely.
    It's just that their speed is indeed quite leisurely, but everyone's face has a worried expression.
    Ye Mo glanced ahead after listening to Dao Fazheng's questioning, as if Ye Mo's eyes could penetrate time and space and see the scene of the first camp. "Camp first, they should have been ambushed."
    Ye Mo's understatement suddenly made Fa Zheng and the others frown. "Sure enough, is there an ambush? It's just that why doesn't the lord have a worried look on his face? ”
    ……
    When Lu Yi arrived at the site where the Xiandeng camp fought with the Yizhou sergeants, Xu Rong was already relying on a breath to hold on and not fall.
     and Ma Chao fight, even if it is just an injured Ma Chao, it is not something that Xu Rong can catch.
    However, fortunately, Ma Chao was also a little weak at this time because of the previous outbreak, so he didn't kill Xu Rong on the spot. After all, Ma Chao's chest was injured, and after the explosion of strength, Ma Chao's wound was also opened.
     At this time, although there was a faint intention to start a counterattack to suppress the Yizhou soldiers, there were only about 900 soldiers left in the camp at this time.
    "Change the formation, scatter the stars!" Before Koji Yi and the soldiers who had entered the camp first converged, Koji Yi yelled loudly at the soldiers who had entered the camp first. (To be continued)
