Chapter 259: Ma Chao vs. Zhao Yun

"The army should be crowded, the rear team will become the front team, retreat in order, and those who dare to fight will be killed." Zhao Yun stood on the main ship and shouted, and the nearby pro-soldier fleet saw that the main general issued an order, and gradually stabilized their feelings, and then loudly announced Zhao Yun's order together.

Because Zhao Yun was quite powerful in the army, and his soldiers were all trained by him, all of them were elite, and after hearing the military order, they gradually stabilized and began to retreat to the shore in a slow and orderly manner from back to front according to Zhao Yun's instructions.

But this calm was soon broken again, and within a moment it was time to see that the ranks of the troops that had become the front army began to riot again near the north bank of the water.

Zhao Yun was slightly shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly led his own soldiers to rush forward and ask why.

But I heard a sergeant report: "General, something is wrong, for some reason a large number of enemies suddenly appeared on the south bank of the river, and they launched an attack when our army crossed the river, and many soldiers were caught off guard and died one after another, as a result, the boats blocked the river, and the soldiers in the rear could not land on the shore......

"What? Damn, it seems that Liu Qi's Wrigley Mountain army took advantage of our army to cross the river, robbed Dingjun Mountain, and then set up an ambush on the bank, waiting for our army to retreat before launching an ambush. Zhao Yun was already worried about this, but now when he saw what he was afraid of, the other party would come, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart.

Now that his army was flanked by the enemy left and right, trapped in the river, unable to advance or retreat, he had no choice but to order the army to change direction again, go down the river to Nanzheng, and join Liu Bei's main force.

However, Zhao Yun was unwilling. He didn't expect Liu Qi and Huang Zhong to cooperate so closely this time, one on the left side of the shore and the other on the right side of the bank. And even the timing is so accurate, it's as if it was discussed in advance.

In fact, Zhao Yun's guess was not wrong, the reason why Liu Qi and Huang Zhong cooperated so skillfully this time was that they had already discussed with each other.

As early as after Liu Qi's army occupied Arrow Mountain, wolf smoke was immediately set off on the top of the mountain, and because this mountain was not far from Chuyang, Huang Zhong immediately saw it. He knew almost instantly that the reinforcements of the lord Liu Qi had arrived at the foot of Wrigley Mountain.

Before that. The reason why Huang Zhong's army dared to give up Baozhong, and even Nan Zheng did not go to help, was mainly because he had already received Liu Qi's order to hold on to Chuyang. After waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy was broken, and Liu Qi told Huang Zhong that the signal for the arrival was to set off wolf smoke.

In fact, Zhao Yun also saw Liu Qi's army setting off wolf smoke at that time, so he knew that this must be the signal they had agreed upon, so he believed that Huang Zhong must have known the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

According to the general reasoning, it was precisely because of this that they were prepared to flank their own army the next day, so as to relax their guard at night, but he did not understand why the enemy army could be so accurate. Unexpectedly, he knew that his side would sneak attack Huang Zhong's camp, and both sides were all on guard in the first place?

Although it was difficult to understand in his heart, Zhao Yun finally understood. When Zhang Fei attacked Hanzhong with an army of 50,000, why did he return with a feather, it turned out that there were indeed masters in the enemy camp, and there was more than one such master, they could make the same judgment at the same time, so as to make extremely close cooperation.

"Such an enemy is truly terrifying. Under my lord, there is a man who can possess such terrible wisdom. I'm afraid that there is only one Zhuge military division, so in this way, there are at least two people in Liu Qi's army who can have such terrifying wisdom, and these two people can cooperate so tacitly, my actions have completely fallen into the calculation of the other party. In this way, when our army goes to Nanzheng, I don't know if the other party can calculate it? But even if I was calculated, I had no way out, so I had to fight to the death to protect the safety of the lord. ”

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, sighed secretly, and then urged the army to move south along the water, wanting to rush to the city of Nanzheng within as much time as possible to join Liu Bei's main force.

The distance from Chuyang to Nanzheng is only ninety miles, they are still going down the river now, if nothing else, they can reach it in two hours at most, and now it is dawn, Zhao Yun believes that as long as the army moves forward cautiously, they will be able to arrive safely.

The two hours of kung fu arrived quickly, and Zhao Yun didn't encounter any obstacles on the way, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, it seems that the enemy army didn't count his coming to Nanzheng this time.

But Zhao Yun didn't dare to relax, he still sailed cautiously, and then landed at Longgangdu, which was ten miles away from Nanzheng City.

"This time, we are so close to the army of assists, presumably Liu Qi's army will no longer be able to ambush us, right?" Zhao Yun immediately relieved himself, ordered the big ship to sail to the port, and then got off the ship himself and personally commanded the army to land.

But at this moment, a rumbling thunder was suddenly heard, and just when the vast number of soldiers were in doubt, they felt a violent tremor of the earth, and the strong tremor almost made their hearts beat out of their chests.

Zhao Yun used to be a general who led the elite cavalry to fight, and when he heard this violent tremor, he immediately reflected it, and it was definitely a team of cavalry that caused this momentum, and he also judged according to the sound that this cavalry had about two thousand horsemen, and the sound of horses' hooves was staggered, not chaotic, it was obvious that this was a well-trained elite cavalry.

In addition, Zhao Yun could also judge that this group of cavalry was coming from north to south, less than five miles away from them, and the direction they were advancing was exactly here.

"The cavalry from the north to the south is definitely our team, could it be that this is the enemy army rushing from Chuyang?" Zhao Yun's complexion couldn't help but change greatly, and immediately ordered the army to quickly form a formation, so that the spearmen and shield bearers gathered in front to form a defense, so as to ensure that those soldiers who had not yet landed quickly went ashore.

In order to ensure safety, he personally guarded the front line on horseback to prevent the enemy from charging into battle.

The enemy moved very fast, and before the spearmen and shieldmen could form a formation, they saw a group of cavalry not far away rolling like a dark cloud, taking the lead in brocade and silver armor. With a handsome face and a murderous aura, Zhao Yun naturally recognized it. This person is the famous general Ma Chao.

Long before this person betrayed the Duke of Qin, he and himself were also a pair of sympathetic friends, although they did not have a deep friendship with each other, but the two sides admired each other's skills, but since they used their own tricks to discern each other, because Ma Chao's brother Ma Tie was killed, they became enemies.

Although Ma Tie did not die at his own hands. But if it weren't for the trick of luring the enemy to lure the horse out of the city, how would he have led the way to be breached?

So. Zhao Yun naturally knew that the other party was looking for him to take revenge.

And the facts were indeed as Zhao Yun expected, when Huang Zhong was deployed here to ambush Zhao Yun, Ma Chao was the first to stand up and ask for battle, and his purpose was twofold. The first is to wash away the shame of his previous defeat, and the second is to capture Zhao Yun and avenge his brother Ma Tie.

I saw Ma Chao riding a horse and rushing forward, and said to Zhao Yun: "Zhao Zilong, I respect you as a man, and I admire your skills, but even if you have wings today, you are destined to be difficult to escape from the ascension to heaven, but if you are willing to surrender to the Duke of Chu." I can let go of my brother's revenge. ”

But Zhao Yun said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, but if you want me to surrender, it is absolutely impossible." Today, my Zhao Yun's blood can be shed, my head can be broken, and you want me to betray Qin Gong, you don't want to. Haha, I have long heard that Ma Mengqi is brave and invincible, and I have always wanted to find a chance to compete with you. I wonder if it might be my wish to be fulfilled today? ”

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this: "I know that you want to delay time in exchange for the successful landing of your soldiers." Or in exchange for Qin Gong leading the army to come to help, but Chu Gong has already made a plan, so he is afraid that Qin Gong will not come, and you will order those soldiers, but how can you be the opponent of my Ma family's iron cavalry? Therefore, this battle, a certain took it, Zhao Zilong, suffer death. ”

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he said to Ma Dai: "Brother, Zhao Yun's soldiers will be handed over to you to deal with, today I want to see what Zhao Yun is capable of?" ”

Zhao Yun didn't expect the other party to be able to see through his intentions, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked, he knew that as long as he slapped the horse and escaped, although Ma Chao's martial arts were superb, he might not be able to leave himself, but he looked at the soldiers behind him who were desperately landing on the shore, wanting to find a glimmer of life for themselves, and his heart was sour, these soldiers followed their birth and death, if they left them like this, they would definitely be difficult to live. They brought them on their own, and it is their duty to bring them back, and if they are wiped out like this, what face will they have to see their families? What kind of face do you have to meet Qin Gong? What kind of face do you have to lead the troops to fight again? Even if this qiē is nothing, he will definitely not be able to pass the threshold of conscience.

"I'd rather die with the soldiers than run away alone! This is my Zhao Zilong's nature! Zhao Yun had made up his mind, and the spear in his hand flew up and down like a silver dragon, stabbing to death several horse knights who rushed to the front with lightning speed, like a mountain in the front of the camp, firmly blocking Ma Chao's advance.

Seeing that Zhao Yun did not retreat in the slightest, Ma Chao couldn't help but flash a trace of admiration in his eyes, but the spear in his hand still stabbed at Zhao Yun mercilessly.

"Zhao Zilong, eat me with a shot, if you can defeat me, how about I let you go back?" The spear in Ma Chao's hand was like a swift wind and thunder, rushing forward with lightning speed and stabbing at Zhao Yun's chest.

Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, he picked Ma Chao's spear aside, allowing Ma Chao's thunderous blow to dissipate.

Ma Chao suddenly admired Zhao Yun's sharp eyesight, fast movements, and accurate position movements, because his marksmanship has always been known for his speed, under this shot, if it was an ordinary general, even many masters could only helplessly dodge, and as long as the opponent dodged, he would have a back ambush killing move to use it together, these killing moves will definitely allow him to occupy the initiative until the enemy is finally killed.

However, his own shot so quickly was taken lightly by the opponent, which is enough to prove that his opponent is by no means in vain, and he is completely able to compete with himself.

"Come on, let me see your marksmanship." A trace of heat flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and then he withdrew the spear, and instantly slanted it, and the tip of the spear stabbed directly into Zhao Yun's throat. (To be continued)
