There were only 3,000 spearmen killed from the city gate, but for the Xiliang soldiers who were only left with the remnants of the weakened soldiers at this moment, they were only slaughtered.

Thousands of sharp spears attacked, the tips of the guns flashed under the illumination of the remnant sun, the formation was huge, the dust was filled with dust, as if to penetrate the heavens and the earth, the blades of the guns galloped, with the irretrievable speed of the sunset falling, attacking the unprepared Ma Chaojun.

Even if the host is coming, what is there to fear?

At this moment, Ma Chao, who was already exhausted, stimulated the only remaining dragon blood combat power in his body; Half-dragon, in human form, spreads a pair of silver-white dragon wings behind its back.

Ma Chao stood quietly in front of the Xiliang soldiers, the dragon blood in his body was surging in an instant, and a huge field shrouded the three thousand spearmen, and the three thousand spearmen suddenly felt a sense of oppression and suffocation like the top of Tashan.

It was Zhao Yun who led the three thousand spearmen to charge, Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao, who was obviously exhausted but still looked domineering, and whispered with a mocking smile: "Revoke." Then, Ma Chao's realm collapsed.

Ma Chao's eyes stared at the three thousand spearmen who were sprinting, and the battle intent that bloomed at this moment was condensed in his gaze. No matter how sharp the tip of the spear of the three thousand spearmen is, it can't compete with Ma Chao's gaze, at this moment, the formation of the three thousand spearmen has been broken, and the soldiers are fleeing in all directions, if Ma Chao's gaze can be materialized.

"The whole army retreated, and returned to Yangpingguan to follow General Han Sui!" Ma Chao shouted behind him.

Ma Chao's spear danced, the air was divided into several pieces, and the silver-white spear was like a huge silver dragon, the victory was huge and shocking, and it seemed to be enough to resist the three thousand sprinting spearmen with the strength of one person.

It's just that when the tips of the three thousand guns came, Ma Chao was annihilated in the dust.

Xiliang soldiers fled in a hurry.

At this point, Ma Chao's siege ended with Ma Chao's complete defeat, and Ma Chao was captured.

・・・・・

The moonlight gradually replaced the remnant sun, and the land was shrouded in gunsmoke, and the uninjured Han sergeants and soldiers went out of the city to clean up the battlefield, count the wounded, burn and bury the corpses, and harvest the armor and horses.

"Report! According to rough statistics, our army lost 3,000 people and 5,000 people died; 10,000 enemy troops were killed, and the rest fled; Harvest 4,000 horses! Wu Yi reported to Zhang Quan.

"Okay, let's wait for the rest to be done tomorrow, and put Ma Chao in the guest room. There are not too many people to guard, and since Ma Chao can be left by us, he will not run away easily. Zhang Quan said.

"Yes."

・・・・・・・・・・・

It is said that on this night, Ma Chao was placed in an exquisite guest room, which was slightly worse than the environment at home, but the style was too elegant and he was not used to it.

"General Ma, this is dinner, please use it." A guard brought dinner into the house, he had heard of the reputation of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao in the past few days, and he had a lot of respect for Ma Chao.

After Ma Chao had eaten dinner, he was wandering around the windowless room, and suddenly became bored, and walked to the door like a child, knocked on the door, and shouted softly:

"Anyone?"

No one responded.

"Anyone?"

No one responded.

So Ma Chao opened the door and saw no one in the empty hallway. Suddenly he was as happy as a child, whistled, and thought to himself: Damn, this Zhang Quan is stupid, he worked hard to capture me, and he didn't send anyone to guard me.

"Then you're welcome, go."

So he went downstairs.

It turned out that Ma Chao was placed in a hotel, and Wu Yi asked the guards to guard the door of the hotel.

Ma Chao whistled downstairs and walked out of the gatehouse, only to see the bustling crowd on the street, the sound of sales, shouting, talking and laughing, and he didn't see the guards guarding the door of the hotel.

The horse overstepped the door of the hotel, and the guard at the door reacted and shouted at him:

"General Ma, don't run!"

Ma Chao turned around when he heard the shout, and saw several soldiers chasing him, and suddenly remembered his situation, and ran towards the city gate with his legs, thinking as he ran:

"You and I are as stupid as Zhang Quan, why don't you run!"

So a race was held on the streets of Hanzhong City, illuminated by the bright moonlight, in the noisy and lively night market. Ma Chao ran in front, the guards chased behind, Ma Chao overturned the stalls of small traders on both sides of the street from time to time to block the pursuit of the guards, and squeezed into the crowd, his physical fitness is good, where can the guards behind catch up.

At this time, Zhang Quan, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren and others were discussing the next march strategy in the city lord's mansion in the center of Hanzhong City, when a panting guard lay at the door and shouted:

"Report! The horse is superracing! ”

"What!" Wu Yi shouted, and then said to Zhang Quan: "Young master, I was negligent in guarding Ma Chao, and I was responsible for the crime. ”

Zhang Quan was also embarrassed when he heard the guard's report, really, he thought that Ma Chao was a little temperamental and a little general, so he didn't run away, but he didn't expect that Ma Chao was still a child who hadn't grown up much.

Zhang Quan waved his hand at Wu Yi and said, "It's none of your business." Then he walked out of the city lord's mansion and looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and saw that Ma Chao had already run to the north gate of Hanzhong, and it was too late to close the city gate.

Pang Tong Zhang Ren looked at Zhang Quan worriedly, Zhang Quanxing paid attention to the farewell to Ma Chao, Ma Chao finally went out of the city gate and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Pang Tong sighed and said: "Young master, we finally captured Ma Chao alive, how easy it was to let him run away like this." Alas. ”

"Young master, it's still my fault that Ma Chao escaped, please punish him!" Wu Yi said.

Xu Shu grabbed Pang Tong Wu Yi and said, "It's too late to regret now, let's make the next military deployment." ”

Zhang Quan said with a smile: "Hehehe, who said that we have to regret it!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu asked, could it be that this young master is about to collapse?

"If I say that I deliberately let Ma Chao go, do you believe me?" Zhang Quan glanced at Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi.

"This?" Xu Shu Pang Tong muttered.

"Ma Chao was defeated and captured, 20,000 cavalry were defeated, 4,000 military horses gave up, and then fled without much effort, do you think there is nothing strange in this?" Zhang Quan said.

"That's not weird, that's just the way it is!" Wen Ping replied casually.

"Counter-plotting?" Pang Tong said, Zhang Quan nodded, and he continued, "The other generals in the Xiliang army will feel that Ma Chao is conspiring with us and deliberately defeating us, so as to create a gap. ”

The fact is that Zhang Quan was negligent for a while, made a mistake in his speculation about Ma Chao's character, and negligently let Ma Chao go; Then, say that you tried it on purpose.

"But this is not right, Ma Chao is the supreme commander of the Xiliang soldiers this time, even if others suspect it, it is useless." Zhang Ren said.

"No, uncle," Zhang Quan said, "Although Ma Chao is the supreme commander, in fact, this time the Xiliang soldiers are a mixture of large and small princes. This time, Ma Chao's descendants are probably all dead under the city, and the remaining generals, large and small, are suspicious together, and it is very likely that Ma Chao will be dismissed. ”

"Dismissal? No way. ”

However, it was said that Ma Chaoran all night, and when he arrived at Yangping Pass, it was already early in the morning of the second day. The fresh and bright morning light shone on Ma Chao's body, and the dew gradually mixed with sweat, which was quite dusty.

"Open the door, open the door! Lao Tzu is back! Ma Chao shouted as he closed the door.

The Xiliang soldiers who were napping on the guard in the city suddenly woke up, and then panicked, thinking that the Hanzhong army had come to attack the city overnight with the power of victory. The soldiers were restless, beating drums, packing up the city defense equipment, and reporting the report, just not looking at who was coming from the gate, let alone opening the door to Ma Chao.
