When Xu Chu led the army to leave the camp, Jiang Ji, who accompanied him, reminded Xu Chu that scouts should be sent to the rear.

Jiang Ji's reminder is that he believes that his move to abandon the car and protect the commander will definitely be noticed by Ma Chao in the near future.

And Ma Chao has a fine rider under his command.

Based on Jiang Ji's understanding of Ma Chao, he believed that Ma Chao was likely to send troops to pursue him after learning the news that he was in a hurry to withdraw to Tongguan.

At this time, the role of scouts sent to the rear to spy on the enemy's situation is very important.

Regarding Jiang Ji's reminder, Xu Chu naturally had no reason to refuse.

And in order to ensure that the transmission of the news is foolproof, the pro-army sent by Xu Chu is his clansmen.

In the early years, when Xu Chu defected to Cao Cao, he led the young and middle-aged people in the entire clan to defect together.

At that time, Cao Cao was impressed by Xu Chu's actions, so he ordered Xu Chu's clan children to be organized into a separate army, which was specially led by Xu Chu himself.

Needless to say, Xu Chu's clan children are loyal to Xu Chu, and in the current critical situation, their report can really reassure Xu Chu.

Although Ma Chao delayed a lot of time in order to gather the elite riders, this lost time can be made up for with the superb riding skills of Ma Chao and the elite riders.

Several scouts and Xu Chu's army kept a distance of more than ten miles as much as possible to follow behind, and they knew the importance of their own mission, and they never relaxed for a moment.

But what they didn't expect was that Ma Chao's speed was still too fast.

Ma Chao probably set off from the Han camp at noon.

And in just an hour or so, the scouts left behind by Xu Chu noticed that a vast cloud of dust was rising into the air not far away, and it was sweeping towards them at a very fast speed.

After seeing this scene, several Wei army scouts couldn't help but be shocked.

During the First World War in Weinan, they were also in the army.

And who would have forgotten what it meant when a large piece of dust appeared in the distance?

This means that there are a large number of elite horsemen not far away, rushing towards them.

Looking at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer, fear gradually appeared in the hearts of several Wei army scouts.

Although the Battle of Weinan ended with the victory of the Wei army, in the course of that battle, the bravery of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Ma Chao was incomparable, and it was also deeply reflected in the memory of every Wei army.

No matter how many Wei troops are blocking ahead, no matter whether there is a way back for this charge.

But as long as Ma Chao gave an order, tens of thousands of iron horsemen in black armor would launch a fierce attack on them wave after wave like messengers coming from hell.

Till death rest!

How many tight Wei army formations collapsed under the charge of tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry.

How many brave Wei generals fled under Ma Chao's lance.

"Kansai is strong, you can't be a pawn!"

This is the heartfelt admiration of many famous generals of the Wei army for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in that battle.

That was the moment when Ma Chao was closest to hegemony, and it was also the time when Xiliang Iron Riding was the most feared by the world.

And that kind of dim moment for Wei Jun seemed to be repeating itself at this time.

It was as if he faintly heard death whispering in his ears, which made several Wei army scouts shudder.

But no matter how afraid they were in their hearts, they would not forget the task given to them by Xu Chu.

Almost immediately, these Wei army scouts drove the war horses under their crotches and turned around to chase in the direction of Xu Chu's army.

Under the fear in their hearts, these Wei scouts kept slapping the horses under their crotches with their whips like crazy.

They wanted their horses to run faster.

They thought they would have a chance to escape before Ma Chao arrived.

But alas, their ideas are wrong.

Ma Chao, who was riding a horse first and galloping before nearly 10,000 elite horses, with his excellent eyesight, saw the figures of those Wei army scouts fleeing in a hurry from a distance.

Almost the first time he saw the backs of those Wei army scouts, Ma Chao knew Xu Chu's purpose for leaving them.

After realizing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but laugh immediately.

Ma Chao was laughing at Xu Chu.

In terms of martial arts, Xu Chu may be on par with him.

But in commanding the cavalry, Xu Chu was as naïve as a child.

Xu Chu thought that if he set off early for a while, he would be able to escape?

Did Xu Chu think that by leaving a few scouts, he would be able to gain insight into his movements in advance and take precautions?

It's ridiculous.

Smiling and smiling, Ma Chao's eyes gradually became cold.

The next moment, he sat on the horse and galloped all the way, but with his unparalleled riding skills, he straightened up his majestic body on the horse with the help of a unilateral stirrup.

Ma Chao is more than eight feet long, and such a height is already in a state of standing out from the crowd in the world.

And when he stood up with the help of the height of the horse, at this moment, in the eyes of nearly ten thousand elite riders behind him, he was as tall as a god.

This is their Divine Mighty General!

After standing upright, under the admiring gaze of nearly 10,000 Han army elite cavalry, Ma Chao, who was wearing fine armor, pointed forward with a long lance in his hand and shouted:

"Catch up with them!"

Ma Chao's voice was loud, and his loud voice combined with the wind sweeping backwards soon reached the ears of many elite riders.

And after hearing Ma Chao's shout, the speed of the elite cavalry of nearly 10,000 Han troops suddenly accelerated a few points.

While constantly speeding up, there were bursts of whistles and chirps that belonged to the alien race, and the sound of dysdia also resounded in the vast Guanwei Plain.

This is a subconscious celebration of the alien race when they see a delicious prey.

Under the continuous speed, the vanguard of nearly 10,000 Han army elite cavalry was getting closer and closer to the several Wei army scouts.

Several Wei scouts who glanced back from time to time almost fell off their horses without being frightened after seeing this scene.

To be selected by Xu Chu as a scout, in addition to being loyal, good riding skills are also a very important assessment criterion.

What's more, in order to ensure the timeliness of intelligence transmission, the horses under the crotches of these Wei scouts are all horses that are one in a hundred.

But even with these two bonuses, the distance between them and Ma Chao is still inevitably approaching rapidly.

For this, these Wei army scouts did not expect it in advance.

But this is not surprising.

Because the nearly 10,000 elite riders are the Qiang light riders who are the best at running in the middle of the world today!

What's more, under the leadership of Ma Chao, the riding god, the morale of nearly 10,000 elite riders has been maintained at the highest level from the beginning.

It didn't take long for Ma Chao, who was galloping at the forefront of nearly 10,000 elite horses, to come within a hundred steps of those Wei army scouts.

Such a distance is enough for Ma Chao to shoot without missing an arrow.

Ma Chao, who had strong confidence in his archery, did not hesitate at all, he first handed the lance in his hand to Ma Dai on the side, and then quickly removed the strong bow from his back.

After the strong bow was in his hand, the next moment, a sharp arrow with a cold light also appeared on the bowstring.

With a "bang", without too much aim, the sharp arrow struck at the back of one of the Wei scouts at a very fast speed.

Before the Wei scout, who was wearing good armor, could not even react, his body was pierced by the sharp arrow shot by Ma Chao.

When the Wei scout fell from his horse, several of their comrades around them could react.

But they can expose their backs within the range of the horse super, even if they react, what is the use?

As the sound of sharp arrows off the string continued to sound, the Wei army scouts followed in the footsteps of Fang Cai's comrade one after another.

Not long after, only one of the Wei scouts was already frightened.

But for this Wei army scout, Ma Chao did not shoot arrows again to take his life.

He just watched as the Wei scout fled, whipping the horse under his crotch in a fierce fear in his heart.

The reason why Ma Chao did not take the order of this Wei army scout was not because his subordinates showed mercy, but because he left this Wei army scout useful.

Compared to the iron horse, the light rider travels faster and has the advantage of coming and going like the wind.

But the disadvantages of light cavalry are also obvious, light cavalry cannot rely on strong impact force to rush into the military formation like iron cavalry.

This is also an important reason why Ma Chao could not achieve full success in the previous ambush battle.

Ma Chao definitely wanted to hunt Xu Chu as soon as possible, but an excellent cavalry general must know how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Ma Chao wanted to deliberately let go of this Wei army scout.

Didn't Xu Chu think he could escape?

Then he will use the mouth of this Wei army scout to tell Xu Chu:

I rode nearly 10,000 light riders right behind you.

I want to catch up with you, it's an easy thing.

Once Xu Chu knows these two points, what will he do?

It is likely that he will continue to send troops to break the queen and try to buy time for him to escape back to Tongguan.

In this way, he can lead nearly 10,000 elite cavalry to break through one by one, and Xu Chu's army will only get smaller and smaller.

In the end, he would be afraid of the infantry army array of thousands of people, but if there were only thousands or even hundreds of people, what would he be afraid of?

Ma Chao, who grew up in Liangzhou, has seen many scenes of fierce beasts hunting for food.

Some beasts don't want to take risks when faced with some tricky prey.

They will only try to bite off a piece of the prey's flesh and then let it go away temporarily, and the prey will will only keep running.

Running violently will rapidly accelerate the loss of blood from its body.

It won't be long before even the toughest prey becomes dying.

Even if he is a "tiger marquis"!

After noticing that Ma Chao behind him was no longer firing arrows, the Wei army scout who felt that God was protecting him almost cried.

And knowing that the opportunity is rare, he used the greatest strength in his life to constantly whip the horse under his crotch.

Under the intense pain, the horse finally lived up to his expectations, bringing him closer and closer to Ma Chao, but closer and closer to Xu Chu.

After galloping for a short distance, the Wei scout finally saw the back of his own army.

Soon after, the Wei scout met Xu Chu, who was speeding up his march.

The moment he saw Xu Chu, the Wei scout jumped off his horse impatiently as if he had seen a savior, and ran in the direction of Xu Chu.

Seeing that the scouts he left behind came back covered in blood, Xu Chu's face changed greatly.

He hurriedly stopped his steed under his crotch, and after the scout had run under his horse, he came aboard and shouted:

"What about the others?"

Of course, Xu Chu knew what the scout's turn meant.

But what he didn't expect was that he would come back so soon, and he was the only one who came back.

Under Xu Chu's questioning, the Wei army scout, who was frightened by Ma Chao, immediately reported to Xu Chu about his escape from the ghost gate today.

Looking at the Wei army scout's legs trembling, and listening to the Wei army's scout's return, Xu Chu's face couldn't help but show a little frightened.

It's too fast, Ma Chao's speed is unexpectedly fast.

At this speed, I'm afraid that in a few hours, the nearly 10,000 elite horsemen led by Ma Chao will be able to catch up with him.

Ma Chao's idea of wanting to kill him is really so strong?

It's just that even if Ma Chao's marching speed exceeded his expectations, Xu Chu was not unprepared for this.

Soon, a military order came out of Xu Chu's mouth.

As Ma Chao had predicted, Xu Chu ordered a thousand Wei troops from the army to stay behind to stop him.

But with a thousand Wei troops, it is almost impossible to successfully block nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, even with the help of terrain.

After all, in order to speed up the march before, Xu Chu didn't bring any baggage.

However, this move can slow down Ma Chao's marching speed to a certain extent.

And what Xu Chu wants is precisely this.

When Xu Chu's order was issued, the 1,000 Wei troops knew what the fate of those left behind was likely to be.

But they still faithfully carried out Xu Chu's orders.

It's not that Xu Chu's prestige is high, it's purely that most of the generals in this army are his clansmen.

After leaving a thousand Wei troops, Xu Chu still felt that it was not enough insurance.

He issued a military order urging the march almost every quarter of an hour, and Xu Chu didn't know if it was useful for him to give military orders so frequently.

But it's better than waiting for death in vain!

Of course, Xu Chu still feels that he is not facing a certain death.

As long as he can rush back to Tongguan in time, then he can still be saved.

Tongguan, Tongguan.

Why didn't you feel so far away before?

Xu Chu gambled his fate on returning to Tongguan in time, but he forgot that in terms of the current situation, not only did he have a Han army in his rear, but also a team in front of him.

Of course, it is even more unfortunate that the person who commands this Han army is Jiang Wei, who is above Ma Chao.

Xu Chu will arrange scouts in the rear of the army, and Jiang Wei will naturally not forget this step.

And just when Xu Chu led the army towards Jiang Wei's place quickly, Jiang Wei also got the news in time.

After learning the news, several lieutenants accompanying the army persuaded Jiang Wei to stop the army and fortify on the spot.

In this way, it may be possible to successfully block the Wei army led by Xu Chu.

But this strategy, which seemed to be fine, was categorically rejected by Jiang Wei.

Can't stop!

Not only can you not stop, but you must continue to work hard towards Tongguan!

There is one more chapter in the early hours of the morning.

Crying for a monthly pass!
