"Ma Chao looks at the arrow!"

Just when Ma Chao was about to stab Le Jin to death with a shot, someone suddenly shouted not far away, and then Ma Chao sensed a sharp sound of breaking the sky.

Ma Chao didn't look closely, he raised his gun with induction, and with a ding, he could block the screaming bow and arrow.

This arrow came very quickly, and the force was quite large, after the horse overblocked the arrow, the upper body couldn't help but pause, but it made Le Jin see the opportunity to shoot the horse and escape, and narrowly escaped with his life.

"Who!" Ma Chao looked for prestige, but saw another member Cao coming to kill the dancing knife, and couldn't help but point at the spear and ask the general.

"Ben General Zhang Liao is also!"

Zhang Liao slashed at Ma Chao with a knife, while signing up for his own number.

"It turns out that you are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and you really have some ability. Come on, wait for Ma to see if your martial arts are as powerful as your archery skills. Kill! ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard that it was Zhang Liao, because when he led the army to the battle, Guan Yu repeatedly told him that he must be careful of Zhang Liao, saying that Zhang Liao was a brave and resourceful general, loyal and courageous, and a general worthy of his respect. In addition, in addition to telling Ma Chao to be careful of Zhang Liao, Guan Yu also explained that Guan Yu felt that among Cao Cao's generals, this Zhang Liao was a general that the New Han Dynasty should win over, and when Ma Chao was at war with Zhang Liao, it was best to try to win him. If it really doesn't work, please let Ma Chao let him go, and wait for him to rush to Runan to make plans.

Ma Chao remembered Guan Yu's explanation, but he still wanted to fight with Zhang Liao, after all, the opponent was hard to find, and it was rare to meet a general of Cao Cao. If he doesn't fight, Ma Chao's heart will be a little unhappy.

In fact, it's not just Guan Yu. Ma Chao also heard Master Liu Yi talk about Zhang Liao, who was in the army. There are also often rumors about the relationship between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, as well as some things about Liu Yi's dealings with Zhang Liao.

It was specifically mentioned that at the beginning, under Lu Bu's account, the only general who could be recognized and admired was Zhang Liao.

So many people have talked about Zhang Liao, and it is really extraordinary when they see it today, especially when Zhang Liao suddenly used an arrow, but he reminded Ma Chao in advance. makes Ma Chao also have a good impression of Zhang Liao, at least Zhang Liao is not the kind of sinister villain who secretly puts dark arrows. Otherwise, Zhang Liao would not have informed Ma Chao in advance that he had shot an arrow.

Zhang Liao is a wise general in Liu Yi's mind, but his martial arts can hardly be said to be a super general. If Liu Yi is given a definition, Zhang Liao's force should be at the peak of first-class generals. Among the first-class generals, Zhang Liao is the strongest. I'm afraid even Wei Yan is a little behind.

The two generals have already fought together, the guns and shadows are intertwined, and the murderous aura is horizontal.

Ma Chao is brave and Zhang Liao is thick. One is aggressive, and the other is well-defended.

"Look at the guns!"

Ma Chao's spear turned into several rays of light and shadow. Take Zhang Liao's upper, middle and lower three roads.

Ding Ding Ding!

Zhang Liao's long knife danced wildly, and the shadow of the knife was heavy. In addition to blocking Ma Chao's attacks, he can also counterattack. In terms of martial arts, it is not inferior to Ma Chao at all.

"Haha, happy! Come on, come again! "Zhang Liao really hasn't had a good activity recently, and now he is fighting with Ma Chao, and he feels happy. In addition, he is already a person with a will to die, so when he fights with Ma Chao, he is also more open and fights with Ma Chao without reservation.

In fact, Zhang Liao has always come, because he is too calm, he always seems to give people a feeling of being preoccupied, and he always seems to be a little unable to let go of anything, looking ahead and thinking too much. If he can open his mind early and focus on martial arts, he may not be able to break through the peak realm of first-class martial arts and step into the ranks of super martial arts.

But in the past few years since he took refuge in Cao Cao, he has been depressed and has lost in his mood. A person with a depressed will, a person who carries too much burden, how can he be promoted in martial arts?

Now, Zhang Liao's martial arts are already good if he doesn't regress.

"Haha, sure enough, there is no void under the fame, Zhang Liao, you are also a loyal and righteous person, why don't you dedicate Runan City, follow my master Liu Yi, and pacify the Han world together?" Ma Chao held up the long knife of Zhang Liao, who was counterattacking, and said to Zhang Liao with appreciation.

"Loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, Cao Cheng spared me Zhang Liao and his wife and children for a long time, so he was kind to Zhang, and this favor was not repaid, so he naturally had to be loyal to the king. General Ma Chao, needless to say, there is no need to keep his hands, the return of the general Ma Ge shroud is fate. On his day, when I saw Taifu Liu Yi and my brother Gao Shun, I asked Zhang to say to them on behalf of Zhang, I, Zhang Liao, am sorry for them in this life, if there is an afterlife, Zhang will follow Taifu again, and work for Taifu with my brother! Zhang Liao said without thinking.

"Haha, I remember, my master once told Ma Mou, he only cares about this life, the next life, or leave it to you to tell them in person, look at the gun!"

Ma Chao categorically rejected Zhang Liao's request, and attacked Zhang Liao with a shot like a shot.

"Well done! That's it, kill! Zhang Liao didn't force it, and fought with a knife.

The two generals came and went, making thrilling moves, killing the sun and the moon without light.

The officers and men of the two armies, seeing their commanders fighting fiercely in the array, couldn't help beating drums in unison to cheer for their generals.

After about seventy or eighty rendezvous, Ma Chao became more and more brave, and Zhang Liao finally became a little weak.

This is the gap between super generals and first-class generals. Very few first-class generals can make a hundred moves under the hands of super generals. If it weren't for Zhang Liao's martial arts approaching the realm of a super general, he was afraid that he would have been defeated long ago.

When he spoke, Ma Chao opened Zhang Liao's big knife, but drew his gun and retreated: "You are not my opponent, please ask General Zhang Liao to return to the battle first, today, Ma will not lead the army to attack the city, when General Guan Yu leads the army to come, you talk to him, and then decide whether we fight, how about it?" ”

Ma Chao knew that he was not a lobbyist, so he simply set up a battle with Zhang Liaoyan and waited for Guan Yu to arrive.

Zhang Liao can't see anything on the surface, but on his forehead, sweat has dripped the size of a bean, he also knows his own business, and if he fights with Ma Chao again, he will still be invincible, Ma Chao's powerful spear has shocked his arms numb many times. Hearing Ma Chao say this, he had no choice. had no choice but to put away the knife and hug his fist at Ma Chao. Without saying a word, he turned his horse and returned to his own army. Then lead the army back to the city of Runan.

In this way, Ma Chao conveniently camped in the west of Runan City, faintly holding on to the Cao army in Runan, waiting for Guan Yu's army to arrive.

Naturally, Ma Chao's cavalry was not good at attacking cities, so he naturally had to wait until Guan Yu's military horses came to make plans.

Guan Yu and Ma Chao were separated from Xinye City, Ma Chao led the army to attack north, and Guan Yu led the army to the area east of Xinye. That is, Zaoyang and Yiyang.

In Zaoyang and Yiyang, which are also relatively important cities, Cao Jun still left a lot of troops to defend them. In these two cities, Guan Yu fought two siege battles, and for a while, he still failed to kill Runan City.

Another way of military horses, Zhang Fei's march from Jiangling to Jingling, relatively speaking, even if it was relatively smooth, because. The towns on both sides of the Yangtze River had a stronger sense of belonging to the New Han Dynasty, and because of the northwest direction of Yuzhou, the New Han Army had already killed the river early. Cao's army also retreated to defend some of the main cities, so it was prominent southwest of Yuzhou, the center of Cao Cao's sphere of influence. Cao Cao's rule over these regions has never been very strong. Officials of the local Cao Cao government, after the main force of the Cao army was withdrawn. As soon as they saw the arrival of the New Han army, they basically immediately opened the city gate and surrendered. did not dare to resist the New Han Army to the end.

Therefore, Jingling City can be said to have been captured without bloodshed, and then, Zhang Fei's military horses are equivalent to an ordinary march, along the north bank of Changbei, all the way south, all the way to receive the town.

In fact, the all-out attack of the New Han Army had already made Cao Cao's military horses lose sight of one or the other, and it was no longer possible to fully resist the attack of the New Han Army.

The New Han Army of Huang Zhong and his son, starting from Jiangxia, went straight to Sanjiangkou, and marched hand in hand with the military horses of Zhang Fei's department.

The fall of Yuzhou is just around the corner, depending on when the Xiangcheng and Runan cities will be captured by the New Han Army, as long as these two cities are captured, then it is equivalent to declaring that Yuzhou belongs to the New Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the Jiangdong army also launched an attack on Yangzhou at the same time.

Relatively speaking, the situation of Zhou Yu's military horses attacking his hometown of Lujiang and other places is more complicated. Because, these areas have always been chaotic. In these areas, on the surface, it was Cao Cao's rule, but there were still remnants of Yuan Shu's old troops who occupied the mountains in these areas, and there were still some rogues who were in rebellion.

Therefore, Sun Ce also deliberately sent more generals to follow Zhou Yu to attack the area around the Lujiang River.

Huang Gai, Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and other generals all followed Zhou Yu to act together.

Huang Gai and Han Dang won't talk about it.

It is worth mentioning Ling Cao and Xu Sheng.

Ling Cao was actually a general who followed Sun Ce very early, and in history, he followed Sun Quan to represent Jiangxia Huangzu, but was shot by Gan Ning, who was still under Liu Biao's account at the time. However, in this life, Gan Ning followed Liu Yi early, Sun Ce did not die, Sun Quan was just an unknown person at this time, and he had no chance to get ahead. Therefore, the war in history did not happen, so Ling Cao naturally did not die.

Well, maybe if you talk about it, you may not know what skills Ling Cao has. But if you want to talk about it, you know that Ling Cao is indeed a rare general. Historically, Sun Ce attacked Yan Baihu, and Yan Baihu was defeated and fled to Ling Cao's hometown of Yuhang. Yan Baihu plundered all the way, leading out Ling Cao's father and son to lead the villagers to defeat Yan Baihu.

It can be seen from this that Ling Cao Lingtong's father and son and some villagers were able to defeat the fierce Wang Yang thief Yan Baihu, so they knew that they were by no means ordinary people. It's just that in this life, Ling Cao's son Ling Tong is still only a teenager, and he has not gone out with the army, and he is still studying and practicing martial arts in the academy.

And Xu Sheng was originally from Langxiju County, that is, from Shandong. Because of the war, he lived in Koto since he was a child. When Sun Ce unified Jiangdong, he voted for Sun Ce. Now, Xu Sheng is only a young general in his twenties. Xu Sheng in history has made a lot of military achievements, and he is the best at resisting more with less, and has a set of defense. The official to Lujiang is too guarded.

Ling Cao and Xu Sheng, even if they are not first-class generals, their strength is close to the level of first-class generals.

Sun Ce sent these capable generals to help Zhou Yu, in fact, he had a little idea of competing with other New Han armies. Because of their Jiangdong military horses, they don't want to be unable to open up the situation after the other Xinhan armies have already completed their respective strategic goals.

Therefore, Sun Ce hoped that Zhou Yu would solve the war in the Lujiang area as soon as possible. Then he led his army to Yangzhou by land and attacked Yu Shouchun with his army.

With military horses and available generals, Zhou Yu simply divided his troops into multiple routes, and launched an attack on the counties and towns around the Lujiang River at the same time, and carried out a sweep of all the remaining forces in his area, completely solving the problems in the Lujiang area at one time.

However, when Sun Ce was ready to lead his Jiangdong army to attack Yangzhou directly from the waterway.

However, he learned that the Cao army on the Yangzhou side did not shrink its forces to defend Shouchun, but sent another army to Jiangdu City.

It turned out that Cao Cao ordered Cai Mao and Cao Hong to defend Yangzhou, and the two generals discussed in Shouchun how they could defend their territory and how to repel the invading New Han army in case of an attack by the New Han army.

Now, Cai Mao has trained a naval army of about 300,000 troops for Cao Cao, and its combat effectiveness is acceptable. also allowed Cao Cao to search for some people who knew how to build ships. In fact, during the pre-dynasty period, official ships and warships were manufactured in Luoyang. Cao Cao's court attracted a large number of old ministers of the previous dynasties, and after investigation, Cao Cao found some old shipwrights, so the current Cao Cao also has the most sophisticated warship in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, the kind of five-masted warship.

Cai Mao thinks that if he wants to let the navy army he formed fight with the navy of the New Han Army, he dare not say that he will be able to win the battle, but if he let his 300,000 sailors defend the Huai River and even the Hongze Lake, he is still sure.

Since Cai Mao was sure, Cao Hong felt that the Cao Army under his command would not play a role in staying in Shouchun. The two generals combined, they all felt that they could not be too passive to defend, but to win some initiative. At the very least, it is necessary to defend some cities that are particularly strategically located.

In this way, Jiangdu City, where the Yangtze River and the Huai River meet, is a very important town in a strategic location. As long as the Jiangdu City is held, then the naval army of the New Han Army will not dare to easily pass through the Hongze Lake area, and will not dare to directly send troops to attack Yangzhou Shouchun.

Cai Mao directly used the water army to quickly transport Cao Hong's more than 100,000 military horses to Jiangdu.

Cha Suan, who was ordered to attack Jiangdu, returned to the New Han Army, which was reorganized after the New Han Dynasty, and attacked Jiangdu City together with the New Han Army of Qu'a.

In this way, a big battle was fought in front of Jiangdu City.

With Liu Xuan, he surrendered to the generals of the headquarters of the New Han Dynasty, and Yu Mi and Fan Neng were beheaded by Cao Hong in front of the Jiangdu City. Well, these two generals, in fact, are the two generals in history, when Sun Ce and Liu Miao fought for Jiangdong, one was scared to death by Sun Ce and the other was killed by Sun Ce.

This led to a great defeat for the New Han army that attacked Jiangdu and fled back to Qu'a City. (To be continued.) )
