Chapter 44 Fa Zheng, Tens of thousands of cavalry were wiped out in the middle of a hand
However, it was said that ten days ago, Yan Pu learned the information that after Zhang Xiujun occupied Yizhou again, he led the captive Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong, thought for a long time, and finally thought of a plan, and sent someone to Xiliang Ma Teng to ask for reinforcements, promising to share Yizhou.
Ma Teng in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms didn't seem to have done anything, and took the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but he was betrayed and killed inexplicably before Cao Cao found out.
But in history, Ma Teng was a person who was well versed in official morals, and did not participate in the conquest of Dong Zhuo, but took the opportunity to expand his strength and express his allegiance to Cao Cao when Cao Cao's power was overwhelming. Unexpectedly, when he entered Beijing to report to Cao Cao, his son Ma Chao launched a mutiny and led 100,000 iron cavalry to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop, and Ma Teng was killed.
At that time, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were training cavalry in Tianshui, Ma Teng received Yan Pu's request for reinforcements, and was overjoyed, thinking that he wanted to expand his territory for a long time, suffering from the powerful Cao Cao in the east, and the fertile Yizhou in the south but blocked by Yangping Pass, he immediately recruited Han Sui, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Yan Chengyin and others.
"What do you think of Hanzhong's request for reinforcements?" Ma Teng said.
"What is there to discuss, of course, it is to send troops immediately, take Yangping Pass first, repel the Xichuan soldiers, attack Chengdu and other places, and at the same time take Hanzhong by the way." Ma Chao said excitedly.
Ma Chao, at the age of twenty-five, has a strong blood, the face under the helmet of the silver lion is milky white, often showing an innocent and cunning smile, he still looks like a child who has not grown up, but his riding skills and martial arts have been perfected and have entered the best situation, it is difficult to find opponents in the world, and the ability to command the army is also first-class, and when leading the cavalry to charge, the morale of the soldiers can be mobilized to the highest, which can be called the real Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Ma Chao, the bloodline of the high-ranking sky and wind, it is difficult to find opponents in the world, the power of one person, fighting tens of thousands of troops alone, there is no problem, and there is even the possibility of awakening into a super hybrid again. He originally thought that after staying in Xiliang for a while, he would follow Yuan Shao, the king of the sky and wind of this generation, but unfortunately he didn't expect that Cao Cao, the king of the earth and the mountains, of the new generation, would simply kill Yuan Shao. I can't help but be decadent in Xiliang for the time being.
As Ma Chao spoke, bursts of high-level sky and wind aura emanated, sweeping through the entire conference room.
Most of the Xiliang generals present were of the middle blood of the earth and the mountains, and there was a kind of disgust from the depths of their souls for Ma Chao's aura of the sky and wind attributes, but the bloodline was fiercely suppressed, and they couldn't resist anything.
Ma Teng, who is a mixed race of high-blood from the earth and the mountain, looked at the high-spirited and suave Ma Chao, a little relieved and a little helpless. "How can the son born to my son of a high-ranking bloodline of the earth and the mountains not have a trace of the bloodline of the earth and the mountain, but a complete hybrid of the sky and the wind? Alas, if only you were really my son. Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao and thought faintly, and then said to Ma Chao:
"Uncles haven't spoken yet, what are you interjecting?"
Ma Chao's face was gloomy after hearing this, he shook his head and sighed, depressed and unhappy; Ma Teng said to Han Sui Yan Xing:
"Wenyue, Yanming, what do you think?"
Han Sui replied: "Although Gongzi's words were a little reckless, what he said was right, and I also feel that troops should be sent immediately." ”
"Let's take Yangping Pass first." Yan Xing said.
"Okay, then send troops immediately." Ma Teng said loudly, "Meng Qi, this time the troops will be led by you, leading 30,000 cavalry of my Ma family to attack Yangping Pass." ”
"Yes." Ma Chao replied excitedly that the first time he sent troops, he was the commander.
"When you go out, you have to listen to Wen Yue, Yanming and other uncles." Ma Teng said again.
"Yes."
"Wenyue, Yanming, Meng Qi will be handed over to you, what are your plans for this dispatch?" Ma Teng said slowly.
Han Sui Yan Xing was speechless, you have arranged it and come to ask me, but Ma Teng is powerful, there is no way, Han Sui said:
"I will lead my generals and fifteen thousand cavalry to go all out." If I take Yizhou, I won't mess with you Ma Teng.
"I'll lead five thousand cavalry into the nest." Yan Xing replied.
Then some other small princes of Xiliang sent troops, and the scene was as lively as buying company shares.
So Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yan Xing and others led 60,000 Xiliang cavalry to attack Yangping Pass, the sky suddenly became gloomy, unconsciously dazzling lightning and roaring thunder struck, the rainstorm poured down, one by one Xiliang men howled happily in the rainstorm, and 60,000 horses also roared in the rain.
"I am Xiliang Ma Mengqi, accepting the request for reinforcements from Hanzhong, and I have come to receive Yangping Pass." Ma Chao rushed to Yangping Pass and shouted. The shouts with a little immature but strong echoed among the mountains, with the coercion of the strong high-ranking dragon bloodline, shaking thousands of miles away, so that Zhang Quan, who was still in Hanzhong as a pure-blooded human being, couldn't help but feel his heart throb when he heard it.
The Hanzhong guards of Yangping Pass immediately opened the door and let Xiliang Tie ride in.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like a non-stop curtain placed in the fields, and the thousands of hectares of fertile fields in Hanzhong and the mountains next to Yangping Pass seem to have a different style in the torrential rain.
Ma Chao stood on Yangping Pass like this, drenched in the rain, and Han Sui saw the loneliness that should not be there from him.
A Han sergeant who was still in Yangping Pass ran to Ma Chao's side and shouted:
"General Ma, the Xichuan thieves have come to Hanzhong City, please send troops quickly!"
"Okay, I'll send troops immediately, you go down." Ma Chao said lightly.
Sergeant Han went down, Han Sui saw that Ma Chao didn't move, and continued to be drenched in the rain, Han Sui urged Ma Chao, but found that the indifferent Ma Chao had never seen it himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little afraid and didn't ask.
After a while, Ma Chao entered the house and shouted:
"It's so refreshing to take a shower!" Han Sui was embarrassed, and then asked:
"Meng Qi, now that our Xichuan troops have attacked Hanzhong City, shouldn't we send troops?"
"Ma Dai, what do you think?" Ma Chao said.
"Uh," Ma Dai didn't expect it, thought for a while, and said, "I don't think we should rush to send troops, let's wait for the Hanzhong soldiers and the Xichuan soldiers to fight to the death, and then go to the fisherman to make a profit." ”
"yes, that's what I thought, too." Ma Chao said, as if he really thought so, and said: "Besides, we have already occupied Yangping Pass, isn't it easy to go south?" ”
"Uh, yes." Han Sui replied that the children are really getting smarter and smarter now.
This night, Ma Chao slept peacefully in the sound of summer rain that was getting smaller and smaller, and slept very sweetly, it was so simple to occupy a pass. The corners of his mouth showed a crooked smile, and in his dream, he had already seen himself leading the iron cavalry, sweeping thousands of troops and horses, and dominating the world. The Xiliang soldiers in Yangping Pass were all sleeping peacefully in a foreign land, only one by one, staring at the night sky with big eyes, refusing to lie down.
The weather in Hanzhong became very fast, it was still raining in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, the moonlight was already shining on the earth, and the moonlight was bright and clear, as if it had been washed by the rainstorm.
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yunwen, and Zhang Renge led an army out of Hanzhong City quietly.
On the second day, the wind and the calendar, the dazzling sun shone on the vast Hanzhong Plain, and the grains, fruits and vegetables that had been full of water last night grew vigorously, exuding a strong breath of life.
Ma Chao asked Han Sui to guard Yangping Pass, and he took Ma Dai Pang De Yan Xing and other generals to lead 50,000 iron horsemen to run to Hanzhong City, the cavalry was fast, and the peasants who were plowing and resting on both sides of the road could only see a puff of smoke drifting on the official road after hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.
At noon, Ma Chao led the army to the city of Hanzhong, only to see the city gate of Hanzhong closed, the city gate bridge pulled up, but there was no human figure on the city wall, just like an empty city, quiet and solemn all around, under the illumination of the dazzling strong sunlight, like a newly unearthed cultural relic.
In the lonely environment, the soldiers of Xiliang, who had been galloping all morning in military uniforms, became even hotter under the strong sunlight, and they untied their military uniforms to rest.
"Hey, where's Xichuan Bing?" Ma Chao looked around and said to Ma Dai Pang De Yan Xing and the others: "You disperse, find Xichuan who came to attack Hanzhong, and destroy them first." ”
"Meng Qi, the brothers galloped all morning, although they were riding horses, they were also very tired, and the weather was hot, so it was better to let the soldiers rest in the shade for a while." Yan Xing said.
"What is it to be tired when you march and fight, this time I am the commander, listen to me." Ma Chao said.
"Okay."
So the soldiers slowly separated, reluctantly looking for the enemy. The Xiliang soldiers shook for a while before they realized that they could only rest under the scorching sun when the whole line was neat just now, but now that the queue was dispersed, they could rest in the shade of the leaves. So they wandered around a few groves.
Ma Chao looked at Hanzhong City under Hanzhong City, and sighed that Hanzhong City is really big, there is no city in Xiliang that is comparable to Hanzhong, but soon it will be mine, hahaha. Looking at the moat of Hanzhong City in front of him and the gate on the opposite side of the city, the horse was eager to try, and wanted to enter the city as soon as the horse crossed.
Just thinking about it, Ma Chao suddenly heard a violent drum, turned around, and saw an army attacking from behind the small hillside on the west side of Hanzhong, all over the mountains, like a torrent, the shouts were monstrous, and the leader was Zhao Yun who was holding a pear blossom red tassel gun and a white armor and white horse.
Although the Xiliang soldiers were all cavalry, some of them were resting under the horses at the moment, and those on the horses were also in a hurry to respond to the battle, and they were overwhelmed, and the two armies came into contact, and the Xiliang army broke up one after another.
At this moment, Ma Chao had an impulse to become a dragon immediately, and took the vitality of the tens of thousands of human and human-dragon hybrid armies present as a memorial, and unfolded dozens of meters of bright silver-white dragon wings, and the dragon wings roared up, and the enemy's tens of thousands of soldiers and the huge Hanzhong City instantly became a ruined wall. No matter how good the conspiracy and trickery is, no matter how good the ambush strategy, it is useless in the face of absolute strength.
However, Ma Chao thought about it, and it was not yet time to use all his combat power.
Ma Chao's battle intent was instantly aroused, and the power of the dragon's blood was completely immersed between his bodies, and he shouted:
"Don't panic! Fight back for me! ”
Patting the horse a few times, he arrived in front of Zhao Yunjun, Zhao Yun greeted Ma Chao, stabbed the horse's leg with a shot, Ma Chao parried and then attacked Zhao Yun's head with a spear, the gun instantly became fierce, Zhao Yun slapped Ma Chao's spear a few times to crack Ma Chao's attack, and then the red tassel spear quickly pointed to Ma Chao's body.
Ma Chao was shocked for a while, this person is probably the highest martial artist he has ever seen, and he is not below him; Another pride was born, the young dragon's blood burned instantly, full of fighting spirit, like a burning torch, and like a raging fireball, the air around the body also seemed to be aroused by Ma Chao's fighting intent, restless, and seemed to fluctuate with Ma Chao's gun, forming Ma Chao's domain, opening and closing between shots, but there was no omission.
Zhao Yun saw Ma Chao's fierce attack, and couldn't help but sigh that he was a pure-blooded human being, and when facing the enemy, he had always relied on rigorous combat skills and a calm human heart, and he had never been enthusiastic, but no matter how strong the combat skills of human beings were, they couldn't catch up with the ** combat instinct given by the high-ranking dragon bloodline! But Zhao Yun immediately looked calm and fought against each other, and a shot flowed smoothly, as if he was wielding a pen, which was even more impeccable.
The Xiliang soldiers who had just rushed to the battle also began to counterattack against Zhao Yunjun, the cavalry against the infantry, and the Jingzhou army in Yizhou had no chance of winning at all, so they could only fight and retreat, retreat to the woods, and only then could they engage the cavalry who were unable to move.
Ma Dai Pang De and others in other directions saw that Hanzhong and the West had found the enemy army, and immediately rushed over, between Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, the two white-clothed generals were in full swing, and there was no flaw in the move, and they couldn't help but let out a few praises, and Ma Dai Pang De was watching the battle next to Ma Chao and Zhao Yun.
But suddenly from the barren mountain on the south side of Hanzhong, there was a fierce drum sound, Ma Dai turned around and saw a gray-clothed general leading the army down the mountain, and shouted:
"Zhang Ren, the king of the spear in Shu, is here, and those who descend will not die."
The Xiliang soldiers distributed on the south side of Hanzhong fled again and retreated in the direction of Ma Chao and Ma Dai, and Pang De shouted:
"Don't retreat! Counterattack! "Straight to Zhang Ren.
Ma Chao heard the movement, looked back, Zhao Yun swept a shot on Ma Chao's silver lion helmet, and the silver lion flew out,
"Fight on the battlefield, don't be distracted." Zhao Yun said, his tone was like a master teaching his apprentice.
Ma Chao had a headache, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to fight against Zhao Yun, and the shot was even more fierce and fast.
Pound stepped forward to face Zhang Ren, and Pound made Ge Zhang Ren use guns, all of them were fierce generals, and the fight was inseparable.
After Ma Dai rushed to the south side of Hanzhong to stabilize the army's heart, he stayed behind Pang De, alert in his heart, the enemy army would still have a sneak attack, at this time, an army attacked from the trail on the east side of Hanzhong, and the Xiliang soldiers were scattered again, Ma Dai shouted:
"Don't panic! Fight! ”
Ma Dai rushed to the east side of the Han Dynasty, only to see that the enemy was led by a young general about 20 years old who was about the same age as him. So Ma Dai stabbed Wen Ping's head with a shot from the impact of the horse split, Wen Ping had already sensed Ma Dai's attack, moved the horse to avoid it, and then turned the halberd into a full moon and slashed at Ma Dai; Ma Dai met it with the tip of the spear and cracked it, only to feel a pain in his arm, but he saw Wen Ping attacking again, and the halberd slashed straight behind him and pulled it back; Ma Dai pressed the handle of the gun against the hilt of Wen Ping's halberd and picked it up.
Ma Dai and Wen Ping fought, but they only felt a burst of difficulty, and they could only parry, and they had no power to fight back. couldn't help but think about countermeasures, at this time, a rocket shot from his back, Ma Dai was startled to get out of the way, the rocket brushed the horse's fur under Ma Dai's crotch, and the burnt hair became a black line.
The mount was frightened, roared loudly, howled and raised its front hooves, and the Wenpin offensive stalled, and then Ma Dai's mount carried Ma Dai in the direction of Yangping Pass. Ma Dai drove the mount while seeing a round of rockets shot down from Hanzhong City, and the soldiers who were shot were in a few, but the horses had a large target, and they were shot and galloped and neighed, which was difficult to control, and many Xiliang soldiers were thrown off by their mounts, and some Xiliang soldiers were trampled by their own mounts.
Seeing the random arrow shooting, Pang De made a false move, got rid of Zhang Ren, and shouted:
"Brothers! Withdraw to Yangping Pass!"
So the Xiliang cavalry retreated to Yangpingguan, and most of the Jingzhou troops in Yizhou were infantry, which was not easy to chase.
Ma Chao, who was fighting with Zhao Yun, shouted:
"You have done a good job, I Xiliang Ma Meng Qi remembered, and I will fight again in the future," so he turned around and retreated.
At this time, Ma Chao suddenly noticed that on the city wall of Hanzhong, several bloodlines were not weaker than his spiritual fluctuations, and when he looked back, he saw Zhang Quan and others, and instantly had a feeling: even if he was immediately dragonized, the silver-white dragon wings of dozens of meters spread out, blocking the sky above Hanzhong City, but before he had time to roar his wings, he was about to be beaten back to his original shape, and his body was bruised.
At this moment, for the first time since he was born, Ma Chao felt the fear of death.
Zhang Quan looked back at Fa Zheng and said lightly:
"Let's do it, filial piety!"
Fa Zheng took a thousand steps, and the spirit flag in his hand danced with the wind, fluttering, his eyes were stunned, and he looked at the retreating Xiliang soldiers and horses and shouted:
"Xiliang thief, do you want to leave like this!" The upright and majestic sound permeated the heavens and the earth, and it seemed to be the spokesperson of the Emperor of Heaven in the world.
Zhang Quan saw that at this moment, Fa Zheng was dancing in various postures to help him perform elemental attacks, and the spirit banner in his hand became even more huge and abnormal, with many phantoms, and it was full of monstrous sky.
All of a sudden, the four elemental attacks of earth, water, fire and wind filled the entire sky, stabs, earthquakes, ice picks, water arrows, fire walls, and wind blades wreaked havoc in the Xiliang military horses, and outside the city of Hanzhong, forming a huge colorful and colorful picture, covering the dazzling sun in the sky.
Ma Chao's mind was released, and the place of words and spirits was opened, and the attack of the four elemental elements could not hurt him in the slightest, however, it could not save the 50,000 Xiliang cavalry who were being tortured in pain. Turning back to fight? Ma Chao even lost the energy to turn back, just this high-ranking White King bloodline descendant who can use the earth, water, fire, and wind four elemental attacks has a combat power that is not far weaker than him, not to mention, Ma Chao doesn't think that there is only this high-ranking bloodline hybrid on the other side.
"Retreat!"
Ma Chao let out a monstrous shout, which seemed to be a monstrous dragon breath, and then ran away.
At this moment, Fa Zheng's elemental attacks were all shaken by Ma Chao's voice; However, this is only the moment.
50,000 Xiliang iron riders, more than half of them were killed and wounded.
After some time, Zhang Quan stood on the city of Hanzhong.
"Report, after cleaning up the battlefield, we harvested 4,300 horses, and the Xiliang prisoners were dismissed." Yang Bai said.
"Good! Go down. Zhang Quan said.
It turned out that Pang Tong Xu Shu Fa Zheng made a plan overnight, thinking that Ma Chao would come this day, so he asked Zhao Yun and others to go out of the city to ambush, and Wu Yi led a large number of archers to release rockets on the city.
said that Pang De led the Xiliang army to evacuate, Ma Chao caught up with Pang De and shouted: "Stop!" Rest on the spot and set up camp! ”
Pound is going to lead the soldiers to camp, "Pound, you stay." Ma Chao said.
"What's the matter? Brother. ”
"Just outside Hanzhong City, did I call you to retreat?" Ma Chao shouted.
"Why, retreat is the most appropriate option, isn't it?" Pound said masculinly.
"I didn't say that retreating was wrong, but I am the manager, I didn't say retreat, how dare you say retreat?" Ma Chao said firmly.
"This, brother was there at the time"
"Needless to say, let's go." Ma Chao said.
"What?"
"From now on, you are no longer a member of my Xiliang Army, you can find another job!" Ma Chao said.
Pound wanted to speak but said forget it, couldn't help but sigh, and then rode away alone. Pound understood that Ma Chao just wanted to blame Pound for the failure, so as to find a trace of comfort in his heart and face the guilt of many casualties.
"Also, if the Xiliang army fights to the death with the enemy army and fights together, instead of choosing to retreat, the descendants of the White King on the opposite side will not unleash large-scale elemental attacks unscrupulously, alas, and I am indeed to blame." As a special hybrid descendant of the blood of the median earth and mountains and the median white king, Pound sighed, the blood-like sunset stretched his majestic body to a slender and slender body, Pound couldn't help but sigh that the world was difficult, in the war years when the high-ranking half-bloods were full of high-ranking half-bloods and the four great kings of the dragon clan had awakened one after another, he was a small median half-blood, and he really didn't know where the road was.
