"I can't help myself!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, and went straight to Wen Chou with a gun, he had to defeat Wen Chou in the shortest possible time before it was possible to chase and kill Cao Cao, who fled in the wilderness.

Wen Chou saw that Yan Liang did not catch up, thinking that Yan Liang had been poisoned by Ma Chao, and he was full of anger in his heart, plus he was bent on covering Cao Cao's retreat, so under the double anger, Wen Chou's combat effectiveness was exerted extraordinarily, and the big knife brought up the edge of the Dao, and fought with Ma Chao.

Feeling Wen Chou's madness, Ma Chao sneered: "Even if you are desperate, you are not an opponent of so-and-so!" In the process of rapid rotation, the gun formed a suction, and suddenly held Wen Chou's big knife lock, firmly adsorbed on the gun shaft, and then, Ma Chao secretly transported the White Tiger Roaring Heavenly Technique, and slapped the most dark power along Wen Chou's big knife.

Although Ma Chao's physique is far beyond ordinary people, and he is talented, he can only play three dark energy in a short period of time, and then he will have to go through half a day of exercise to cultivate the internal force consumed back. But right now, Ma Chao really doesn't want to let Cao Cao go so easily, and in order to solve the ugliness that gets in the way, Ma Chao can't take care of hiding it.

Wen Chou's martial arts and Yan Liang are only between the best, Yan Liang can't resist Ma Chao's White Tiger Roaring Heavenly Technique, Wen Chou naturally can't resist it, he only feels a strong force from nowhere, extending to his body along the knife shaft, and slamming it hard between his internal organs. This collision made Wen Chou spit blood, and he could no longer hold the big knife in his hand, and let go of the big knife and fell to the ground. Taking advantage of Wen Chou's injury, Ma Chao pulled the gun and slapped Wen Chou's chest hard, knocking Wen Chou off the horse's back. ended this nearly twenty moves of fighting.

The master's moves are often very fast, and twenty moves are only a matter of a dozen breaths, but when Ma Chao defeated Wen Chou, he looked up and saw that Cao Cao had already taken this opportunity to run nearly a hundred steps away on the top of the shadow, and he was about to disappear from Ma Chao's sight. Ma Chao roared angrily, and he didn't have time to stab Wen Chou to death with a single shot, so he immediately slapped his horse and chased after Cao Cao. Dozens of Tiger Lux who were far behind Ma Chao. After seeing Ma Chao's actions, no one paid attention to Wen Chou, but threw off his legs and struggled to chase after Ma Chao. After a painful struggle on the ground for a while, Wen Chou reluctantly stood up, grabbed the big knife on the ground, and then used the handle of the knife to support the weight of his body. climbed back on the horse, and instigated the war horse to chase Cao Cao from the other direction. In Wen Chou's view, Cao Cao was as kind to his brother as a mountain, and not only did he kill his Yan Liang at the beginning. He also handed over the pro-guard army and the Tiger Guard Army to his two people in charge, as the so-called soldier died for his confidant, although Wen Chou was narrow-minded, but he still knew how to be grateful for the picture. He decided to take a shortcut to catch up with Cao Cao, and desperately protect Cao Cao and retreat into Hanzhong City safely.

In the process of escaping, Cao Cao never dared to look back. It wasn't until he ran nearly two hundred steps away that he felt that he should have fled to a relatively safe distance, so he dared to turn his head sideways and glance back, who knew that this glance scared Cao Cao almost fell off the horse, because he saw Ma Chao was instigating Shali to fly towards the gallop, the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand scattered a terrifying cold light, and the tip of the gun was less than a hundred steps away from his heart! It seems that although Yan Liangwen and Chou are loyal, there is still a certain gap between their martial arts and Ma Chao, and they have not been able to stop Ma Chao. It's just that at this moment, Cao Cao no longer has the heart to think about the safety of the two of them, and the desire to escape is stronger than ever! Even when he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled hundreds of miles to Chenliu, Cao Cao was not as panicked as he is now!

Under the desire to survive, Cao Cao desperately whipped the shadow that sat down, hoping that it could run faster, faster. Under Cao Cao's whipping, the four hooves of Jueying flew over, trampling the earth frantically, and always maintained a distance of about 100 steps from Sha Lifei behind, which made Ma Chao very anxious, but helpless. In a hurry, Ma Chao held the tiger head Zhan golden gun with his right hand, leaned back, stepped on the bilateral stirrups with both feet, and hung on the horse's back with a diagonal line on his whole body, took a deep breath, and then threw the tiger head Zhan golden gun in the air like throwing a javelin, and shot straight to Cao Cao's heart with a whistling voice.

Cao Cao, who was desperately fleeing, heard the wind behind him, and knew that Ma Chao threw a weapon to kill him, and in great danger, Cao Cao suddenly lowered his body to the ground, and the tiger head Zhan golden gun that broke through the air grazed Cao Cao's back and shot over, bringing Cao Cao's cold sweat, but unfortunately, the tiger head Zhan golden gun did not hurt Cao Cao, but only tore the robe on Cao Cao's back.

With a snatch, the golden spear that crossed Cao Cao's tiger head stabbed fiercely into a big tree not far ahead, and the barrel of the gun still trembled. Seeing that the golden spear thrown by Ma Chao still had such a great power at a distance of 100 steps, Cao Cao didn't dare to stay anymore, and whipped the shadow lifelessly, wanting it to escape from Ma Chao's pursuit as soon as possible.

One shot failed to kill Cao Cao, Ma Chao sighed in his heart that it was a pity, and then slapped his horse forward, wanting to pull out the golden gun, and then go after Cao Cao. But when Ma Chao crossed his arms, pulled his golden spear from the trunk of the tree, and put it in his hand again, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, coming from the direction of Hanzhong City.

It turned out that at the beginning of Cao Cao's pursuit of Ma Chao, he had asked his own soldiers to call Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun to lead the troops out of the city to surround Ma Chao, after receiving the order, after a short period of gathering soldiers and horses, delayed for some time, and after leaving the city, it was not clear where Cao Cao chased to, so he had to send a horse to explore the horse, while rushing along the road, this delay, almost let Cao Cao die in the hands of Ma Chao, however, the two of them finally came in time, this time, Cao Cao could not die, and the responsibility of the two of them naturally changed from encircling Ma Chao to rescuing Cao Cao.

Cao Ren was the first to see Cao Cao fleeing in embarrassment, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, Cao Ren is here!" At that moment, Cao Ren hurriedly commanded his soldiers to integrate Cao Cao into his army, and the regiment was protected. At the same time, Xiahoudun roared angrily and slapped the horse that sat down. Swinging his knife, he rushed towards Ma Chao, who was dozens of steps away. Xiahou Yuan's injury already made Xiahou Yuan angry, and now when he saw Cao Cao being killed by Ma Chao, he was even more angry, and he was about to step forward and kill Ma Chao regardless of it.

Although Ma Chao has experienced several fierce battles, he is still not afraid, and he stands up with the golden gun and fights with Xiahou in one place. Cao Cao, who returned to the military formation, was shocked, panting while looking at the two people in the battle, I have to say. Ma Chao does have an excellent physique and excellent martial arts, which makes Cao Cao like it more and more, but he can only hate such a brave general, but it is impossible for him to use it for himself. After chasing and fleeing just now, Cao Cao already understood that Ma Chao would never be able to surrender to his command, and he wanted to kill Ma Chao and get rid of one of Ao Lie's arms. Likely, it's hard, too.

Pursing his teeth, Cao Cao sighed depressedly: "What a tiger general!" It is worthy of Xiliang Jinma Chao! It's a pity, but it can't be used by me. After Cao Ren heard Cao Cao's sigh. Knowing that Cao Cao was moved by his love for talent again, he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, Ma Chao and Ao Lie are sworn brothers, and they are one of the five tiger generals of the Yan Army. This person is absolutely impossible for our army to use, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible. "After the near death. How could Cao Cao not understand this truth? It's ridiculous that Cao Cao has always said that Cao Ren's brain is not enough, but now, Cao Cao has not understood Cao Ren's understanding. Glancing at Cao Ren deeply, Cao Cao stopped talking, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, although he was forced by Ma Chao to cut his beard and abandon his robe this time, and the 20,000 soldiers also suffered heavy losses, but Cao Ren's growth really made Cao Cao happy.

In the battlefield, Ma Chao has fought with Xiahoudun for more than 20 rounds, and he still can't tell the winner. After using the most dark energy, Ma Chao has no hole cards, and now, he can only fight with Xiahoudun with a real gun, after the previous series of battles and chasing all the way, Ma Chao's physical strength has been consumed a lot, on the other hand, Xiahoudun is waiting for work, coupled with the anger in his heart, the knife technique is even more terrifying. Under the advantages of the other, Xiahou Xuan, who was originally inferior to Ma Chao in martial arts, gradually gained the upper hand and faintly suppressed Ma Chao, but if you want to defeat Ma Chao, it is not so easy.

Ma Chao also knew that his physical strength had declined, and if he fought hard with Xiahoudun, he would definitely not have any advantage, so Ma Chao changed his fighting style of moving forward bravely in the past, and fought with Xiahoudun, he wanted to rely on the long stamina of the White Tiger Roaring Heavenly Jue to slowly drag down Xiahoudun.

Swords and guns, the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, at this time, Pang De rushed over with a team of Xiliang iron horses, he was relieved not to get off the horse, not waiting for the battle behind to be completely over, so he rushed over in advance, handed over the battle behind to Chen Gong and Yan Pu, anyway, the defeat of the 20,000 Cao army has been decided, Pang De believes that with the ability of Chen Gong and Yan Pu, there will be no problem in defeating these Cao army.

Seeing Pang De's arrival, Cao Ren compared the combat strength of the two sides, and whispered to Cao Cao with some unwillingness: "Lord, the morale of the Yan army is now flourishing, Ma Chao is brave and invincible, hard work will not have any good results, but it will affect the plan behind the lord, it is better to collect troops and return to the city for the time being." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment about Cao Ren's suggestion, then nodded in agreement. The situation in front of him is because he is not calm enough and wants to capture Ma Chao, and now not only did he fail to capture Ma Chao, but he lost his soldiers, and he was forced by Ma Chao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, which can be described as a shame and thrown home, but Cao Cao is not a person who cares, he will never destroy the overall situation with his own hands in order to save face for himself, and he can afford to let it go, which is one of Cao Cao's characteristics.

Got Cao Cao's approval, Cao Ren immediately waved his hand, ordered his subordinate sergeant Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, Xia Hou Dun, who was fighting with Ma Chao, heard the sound of Ming Jin, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he could not disobey the military order, forced Ma Chao away with a knife, and then pulled the reins and jumped out of the standing circle, while returning to the formation, while pointing at Ma Chao with a knife, and said loudly: "Ma Mengqi!" You and I have no winner today, and we will fight tomorrow! ”

Ma Chao knew that he couldn't kill Cao Cao today no matter what, so he simply stopped chasing after him, and coldly replied to Xiahoudun with two words: "Wait for you!" After watching Xiahoudun return to his home camp and protect Cao Cao with Cao Ren and leave, Ma Chao sighed regretfully, and then returned with Pang De to help Chen Gong and Yan Pu collect Cao's army.

Let's say that when Cao Cao returned to Hanzhong, Guo Jia and other strategists were already anxiously waiting near the city gate, and everyone was relieved to see Cao Cao return safely. Cao Cao jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, it's my carelessness, Ha Luha, I can't imagine that Ma Chao still has a talent for acting, and even Ben Sikong was tricked by him." The reason why Cao Cao can bring a large number of capable people to his side, his personality charm is naturally one of the indispensable factors, after the defeat, Cao Cao's calmness and boldness, suddenly give people a sense of freedom. At the same time, Cao Cao pretended to be relaxed, which was intended to show that it was not that the combat effectiveness of the army was inferior to the Yan army, but that Cao Cao was confused by Ma Chao for a while, which led to this defeat, and took the defeat on himself, which was also conducive to the army to continue to maintain high morale, which is another clever point of Cao Cao.

After returning to the city, Cao Cao did not rush back to the palace, but ignored the embarrassed image and personally pacified the soldiers who fled back one after another near the city gate. This time Cao Cao took out of the city of 20,000 soldiers, the most after less than 5,000 people fled back, most of them were killed by Ma Chao and others or surrendered to the Yan army, fortunately, Yan Liang, Wen Chou although were injured by Ma Chao, but they all insisted on returning to the city, this is Cao Cao, but it is a blessing in misfortune, in order to commend Yan Liang, Wen Chou's protector of the merit, Cao Cao personally took their hands, walked back to the house, let the best medical officer for them to treat their injuries, and from the military horses with the army, selected two good horses and gave them to them, A banquet was also held for them.

After the banquet, the ministers dispersed, and only Guo Jia stayed. Cao Cao held the wine glass in his hand, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Guo Jia with great meaning: "Fengxiao, did you see anything in the daytime defeat?" Guo Jia stood up and replied: "My lord, the Yan army has strong combat effectiveness and strict military regulations, and it is really the great enemy of our army. If the lord is in the daytime, although he can maintain the morale of our soldiers for a while, it may not be able to last long. However, this defeat is not necessarily a bad thing, and with the right use, we can turn a bad thing into a good thing. ”

Slowly raising the wine glass in his hand, Cao Cao drank all the wine in the cup, two fine lights burst out of his eyes, and said, "That's right!" The Yan army is strong, but we have prepared another opponent for them. This defeat can allow us to give up Hanzhong's justifiable hand to Liu Bei, what a good excuse, what a ...... we have to do next."

Guo Jia said: "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces. (To be continued......)
