Chapter 170: Night Battle
Huang Zhong shouted, waved the big knife and slashed at Zhang Fei's head! Zhang Fei raised his spear to block it! At this moment, Ma Chao's long lance went straight towards Zhang Fei's chest, like a poisonous dragon coming out of a hole! Zhang Fei was frightened and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it! Zhang Fei couldn't resist the enemy, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards Xiangyang, followed by a remnant of the defeated army.
Ma Chao reined in his war horse, hugged his fist at Huang Zhong and said, "General Huang, come with me!" Then he led the reins of the horse and led the way in front, and Huang Zhong followed him.
Soon after, Huang Zhong followed Ma Chao into the camp on the south bank. Huang Zhong's family greeted him. Huang Zhong hugged his fist at Ma Chao and said, "Thank you to the general for coming to the rescue!" Ma said coolly: "You don't have to thank me!" I'm just doing what I'm told! It's getting late today, now I'll rest here for the night, and tomorrow morning, I'll take you to Nanyang. "Thank you!"
Ma Chao called Ma Tie and gave some orders, and the latter led Huang Zhong and his family down.
Ma Chao walked into the big tent, and Ma Dai followed beside him.
A sentry rushed over in a hurry, "General, the Xiangyang Army is here!" β
Ma Chao stopped, turned around, and glanced outside the camp, only to see that on the field outside the camp, there were a large number of stars, which was a sea of tens of thousands of torches, and there was a low rumbling sound in his ears, and the earth trembled slightly. Ma Chao smiled coldly, "The general of the defeated army, dare to come again!" He immediately ordered Ma Dai to guard the camp, and he himself commanded three thousand horsemen to rush out of the camp.
Come to the field and line up.
On the other side, Zhang Fei came out with a snake spear and shouted loudly: "Ma Chao! Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? β
Ma Chao smiled coldly, rode out of the horse, and went straight to Zhang Fei. Zhang Feihuan's eyes lit up, he shouted, and greeted him with a Zhangba snake spear. The two horses intersected with a loud bang! The soldiers on both sides let out a shout.
The two horses each ran more than 20 meters, turned their heads to hedge again, collided together, and fought fiercely. Zhang Fei roared and waved the Zhangba snake spear, which was powerful and heavy, like an evil dragon walking into the sea; Ma Chao's hands make the horse lance, the victory is fast, and under the reflection of the moonlight, he sways out one after another. The sonorous sound is endless, and the spears of both sides are back and forth, and the fight is inextricable!
Liu Bei, who was watching the battle under the flag gate, frowned, turned his head and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, go to help Yide, capture Ma Chao incomparably, and cut off Lu Bu's arm!" Guan Yu was a little hesitant, but he still rode out of his horse and pounced towards Ma Chao with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. Ma Chaozheng and Zhang Fei were inseparable, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Guan Yu's flying knife, and the green dragon glaive knife slashed down immediately!
Ma Chao hurriedly avoided it. He grabbed the reins of his horse and scolded angrily: "So despicable! said that it was a one-on-one decisive battle, but it was cold and unguarded against a sneak attack! β
Zhang Fei was ashamed and angry, and stopped attacking Ma Chao, and shouted at Guan Yu: "Second brother, I don't want your help!" β
Guan Yu said angrily: "Now is not the time for a martial arts competition!" This person must be captured and killed, and one of Lu Bu's arms must be cut off! The third brother should not be rash, do it with me! When the words fell, he urged the horse up again, wielding the Green Dragon Glaive Knife and slashing! Ma Chao grabbed the Qinglong Glaive and said angrily: "With you, you also want to compete with me?!" With both hands, he slammed his hands up, pushed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife open, and then slashed his horse lance and stabbed straight at Guan Yu's chest! Guan Yu sideways to dodge!
Wow wow......! Zhang Fei's shout suddenly came, and I saw him brandishing the Tibetan Horse Snake Spear and also killing Ma Chao. At the same time, Guan Yu continued to storm Ma Chao. Under the attack of the two tigers, Ma Chao immediately fell into the disadvantage, and the danger was full of dangers.
"General Ma Chao, I'm here to help you!" There was a shout behind Ma Chao, Huang Zhong rushed to the battlefield with a big knife, and rushed to kill Guan Yu, Guan Yu was forced out of the way, and Huang Zhong fought. In this way, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu formed a situation of catching and fighting with Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, and the fight was inseparable!
Guan Yu asked angrily while fighting: "Huang Zhong, the eldest brother treats you well, why do you want to betray?" β
As soon as Huang Zhong heard this, he became angry and scolded angrily: "What is betrayal? It was Liu Bei and the two of you who betrayed the tiger's things! Guan Yu was annoyed and angry, "Old horseman, I will kill you today!" He slammed the Green Dragon Glaive and slashed at Huang Zhong's left shoulder. Sonor! Huang Zhong blocked the opponent's Blue Dragon Glaive with a big knife and sneered: "If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" Guan Yu was furious, roaring and attacking hard, but Huang Zhong was not a vegetarian, so he couldn't help but block all Guan Yu's attacks, and he also fought back from time to time, without falling behind at all! The sonorous, heavy and thrilling loud sound echoed in the night sky from time to time, and the sparks of the collision of weapons flashed down at once!
On the other side, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei are also like two tigers fighting hard to fight evenly matched, and the fight is inseparable!
The shouts of soldiers on both sides resounded in the night sky, and the people of Xiangyang City and Fancheng were awakened and walked out of the hall of their homes one after another, what happened?
Liu Bei stared at the two pairs of fierce generals who had been killed in the dark on the battlefield, frowned, and thought to himself: This is not the way! Turning his head, he raised his right arm and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!" The soldiers who were watching the battle immediately looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei waved his right arm forward, "The whole army is assaulting!" Tens of thousands of troops let out a cry and surged out, like a sudden wave.
The three thousand horsemen immediately shouted and rushed out.
Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei immediately broke away from the battle, retreated to their respective armies, and commanded their subordinates to fight. The armies of the two sides collided and fought fiercely. Although the Jingzhou army was far more numerous than Lu Bu's army, it was not able to take any advantage because it was all infantry, and the armies of both sides fought in the dark, and the thrilling fighting lasted for more than half an hour. At this time, all the cavalry and 7,000 cavalry of the large battalion on the south bank rushed to reinforce them, and at the same time, the reinforcements of the Jingzhou army were also on their way.
Seven thousand cavalry rushed to the battlefield first, and tens of thousands of Jingzhou infantry troops could not resist the enemy and retreated. LΓΌ Bujun did not take advantage of the situation to kill, but took the initiative to break away from the battle with the Jingzhou army and retreated to the camp.
Jingzhou reinforcements arrived, and Zhang Fei wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Liu Bei. The Jingzhou army retreated into the city of Jingzhou.
Ma Chao and Huang Zhong returned to the big tent. Ma Chao hugged his fists at Huang Zhong and said: "The old general's martial arts are strong, admire!" "The attitude is a lot closer than before. Huang Zhong laughed, "Old! It's useless! I'm so tired now! Ma Chao knew that Huang Zhongzhong was joking, and smiled.
Huang Zhong glanced at Ma Chao and said with emotion: "General Ma Chao is worthy of being a fierce general under the command of the general, and his reputation is well deserved!" I think that Zhang Fei is slightly inferior to the general! Ma Chao said contemptuously: "It's just a butcher of Zhuojun, why bother!" β
Then the two began to chat, and did not disperse until midnight. The next day, Ma Chao handed over the defense affairs to Ma Tie and Ma Dai, and he personally led Huang Zhong's family across the Xiangjiang River and headed for Nanyang.
