Chapter 583 Dou Maxim
Ma Chao took the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight, which made it difficult for other generals who wanted to show that they were not going to say anything, after all, if they really did it, they were not the opponents of the former army commander.
There was no one to rob him, and Ma Chao rode out in a burst of laughter, carrying a dragoon hook and sickle in his hand, and also walked out with 10,000 cavalry.
At this moment, everyone set their eyes on the plain in the distance, and some other army commanders even took out the single long telescope given by the emperor yesterday, hearing that this small work can help people see a place thousands of meters away, and can see farther in the open field, they are very curious, and want to give it a try.
General Maxim of the Rus Army had already walked out of the land of two miles with the cavalry at this moment, but he still couldn't see any movement from the Celestial Empire army, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then there was a look of arrogance, obviously he thought that the other party was afraid of himself and did not dare to fight.
But when he saw that the Celestial Empire army was moving, and that it was a general in a yellow cloak who came to fight, Maxim became a little annoyed.
How can it be said that he is also the general of the Second Legion, why did the other party send a small third-grade general?
If you see this scene yesterday, maybe you wouldn't be so angry, after all, those who don't know are fearless. But now, even if you know that you can look at the rank from the cloak, and you see that the other party sent a third-grade general, it's strange not to be angry.
"If you dare to underestimate me, then you will pay the price. Come, come with me, and kill them all. Maxim was angry, and with a big sword in his hand, he was the first to rush forward.
Maxim moved, and the 10,000 elite Rus cavalry behind him also rushed with a shout.
"Brothers, the emperor has criticized us, now is the time to show strength again, no one should embarrass me, rush." Ma Chao saw that the Rus army began to attack, and after shouting a few times, he galloped forward.
Both sides, under the guidance of their own generals, launched a fierce attack, which clearly looked like they would not return until they killed the enemy.
It is important to know why soldiers fight on horseback, one for speed, and the other for impact. In many cases, whichever side is fierce enough to attack can occupy more advantages in battle, and at this moment, both sides have to use the advantage of cavalry to attack.
At this time, when I looked from the sky, I saw two torrents rushing forward like flying, and then getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and finally the distance was less than three hundred meters.
"Put it forward." At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly shouted, and at the same time took the lead in taking out the bow and arrow on his back, picking up the arrow feather and flying forward with an arrow.
At such a close distance, as soon as the feather arrow came out, with the speed of the cavalry, it was very violent, and the lethality was naturally great.
Most of the dragoon regiments are composed of Xiliang soldiers and Youzhou cavalry, they are usually known for their accurate archery, and most of the 10,000 cavalry selected this time are good at arrows, so a sudden blow does play a great role in killing.
The Dragoons suddenly fired at close range, which surprised Maxim. He wasn't even prepared, and when he was faced with a wave of arrows, his soldiers fell on the road. Many of the soldiers were shot with bows and arrows during the impact, and then fell off their horses one by one.
Even Maxim himself was hit by two arrows from his heavy armor, but the arrows were not sharp enough to completely penetrate him, but they also caused him some external injuries.
Maxim was tall, and his height of more than two meters had undoubtedly become a huge live target at this moment, looking at the two arrows in his body, his face was angry, and his heart was crying blood.
He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly release flying arrows. Of course, when fighting the enemy, anything can happen, but the problem is that everyone didn't release their arrows yesterday.
It's just that no matter how much hatred is in the heart, this is the case, and there is no room for any change. Knowing that he had lost the first hand, Maxim had no choice but to roar and rush forward with his broadsword. He wants to defend his dignity with a big sword, he wants to prove everything with strength, he wants to defeat the enemy, and he wants to prove with great strength that the so-called conspiracies and tricks are so vulnerable in the face of absolute power.
Maxim is conceited, but as an opponent, isn't Ma Chao a proud person?
The reason why he came up and injured the enemy with a bow and arrow was a means for him to defeat the enemy, and he wanted to kill and injure the other party first in order to provoke the other party, disrupt the opponent's position, and at the same time it was not a sign of self-confidence.
For example, if your strength is not as good as others, you usually will not provoke the other party, because doing so will only usher in a more terrible enemy for yourself, but Ma Chao is not afraid, which is very revealing.
Seeing Maxim's red eyes coming to the prancing horse, Ma Chao also went straight up, so that from a distance, he saw two fast horses crashing together, and then quickly separated.
Just the moment they met, both of them made a move.
Maxim slashed at Ma Chao's front with a knife, and the blade slashed with a sharp aura, flashing dangerously from his shoulder.
Ma Chao is a spear pierced, it is indeed a person not a horse, while dodging the opponent's blade as much as possible, a shot is piercing the opponent's mount, a blood splash, the healthy horse is injured.
After the two made a mistake, Ma Chao took the horse back again, and looked at Maxim, who was like a Spanish bullfighter at the moment, struggling up and down on the horse.
The stab wounded the horse, and the pain caused it to jump incessantly, causing Maxim on the horse to scream as if he was about to lose his balance.
"Humph!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Ma Chao let out a disdainful ridicule, and then grabbed the horse with his legs and rushed out again.
"Not good." Although he was still controlling the healthy horse as much as possible, he actually did not relax his attention to the opponent in the slightest, and seeing that people rushed over again, Maxim, who was already unable to fight with the help of the healthy horse, simply abandoned the horse and fell down, and rolled down from the healthy horse with a big knife in his hand.
Even if the horse has been injured and cannot be used for it, then it is not necessary. Maxim stood on the earth with a sword in this way, and even so, it still gave people the momentum of being a one-man man.
"Huh!"
Maxim had just dismounted and put himself in a standing position, Ma Chao had already rushed over by someone to take advantage of the horse's momentum, and before anyone arrived, the dragoon spear in his hand had already slashed in front of him, and in a hurry, it actually brought out a bloody path.
Yes, it was a shot that wounded Maxim.
Of course, it is not accurate to say one shot, because in a short staggered opportunity, Ma Chao fired three shots in a row, but because the speed was too fast, it felt as if he had only fired one shot.
Of the three shots, two were false, and only the last one was real, which was his most powerful dragoon marksmanship.
The first two shots were blocked by Maxim with a big knife, and even if the third shot was stabbed, he still instinctively leaned back to avoid it, but Ma Chao's marksmanship was so fast that he didn't have time to do anything.
A shot slashed right into Maxim's cheek, taking a large chunk of flesh off the piece.
"Ahhh
The face is scratched, and the pain is understandable. But the pain in my body is far less painful than in my heart. Thinking that his dignified general of the Rus Kingdom could not defeat a third-grade military general of the Celestial Empire, this breath was really hard to swallow.
Thinking that if he went back like this, he wouldn't be laughed to death by those generals, Maxim was really angry. With a shout, he opened his legs and chased after Ma Chao who was far away, at this moment he was already angered by success, regardless of everything.
Maxim was furious, and then followed on foot, which made him happy in the eyes of Zhang Chao, who had stopped and turned back on the horse. This is exactly what he wants, this Maxim is tall, if he attacks head-on, even if he can win, I am afraid I don't know how long it will take. Even if the emperor wants to deter the Russ country, then naturally he can't fight for a long time, otherwise he won't be able to show his ability. So he hasn't slept well in the past few days, and he thinks about the same thing every day, that is, how to use the opportunity to attack and behave well, so that the emperor can see, and let other generals and ministers see how strong he is.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Zhang Chao was going to send the Dragoon Legion to fight, even if this was the case, of course he had to perform well. And in his opinion, the best way to show is to kill Maxim, yes, to kill rather than defeat him.
Yesterday, Zhang He and Pang De only defeated each other, and they were praised for killing only one of the young generals, so if he killed the general of the Rus Kingdom today, what kind of credit would he have?
Thinking about it, Ma Chao felt his blood boiling, and now, it was time to realize his idea.
Seeing Maxim striding towards him, Ma Chao went straight up. If it was a trick to release an arrow just now or kill a horse, then in the next time, he would kill Maxim in the open, letting everyone know that he was super powerful and powerful.
Ma Chao is murderous, poor Maxim doesn't know this, maybe even if he does, he won't be afraid. To be Alexander's right-hand man, that's not just lip service, in fact he does have the ability.
Ma Chao rode over, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and Maxim's eyes also flashed with excitement, because at this moment he was ready, that is, to return the body of others in his own way, and he would also cut the opponent's healthy horse to the ground.
