Chapter Twenty-Seven: Under Siege

Ma Chao knew before crossing that this Han Sui had eight generals: Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, either from Guanzhong or Liangzhou, each with tens of millions of horses, separating one side, and winging for Han Sui.

Ma Chao thought that these eight generals would be famous, and they should be quite powerful. But Ma Chao now learned that after fighting with him, it turned out that these eight would be typical silver-like wax gun heads. Hou Xuan and Li Kan, he just fell off the horse as soon as he got together; And now Cheng Yi, Ma Play and Zhang Heng, who are besieging him, are also vulnerable. The three of them attacked him at the same time, not to mention that his strength was far worse than him, and the speed was still very slow.

Ma Chao didn't have to exert forty percent of his strength against these three generals at all, and he could also deal with their attacks in turn with ease. The silver spear flew up and down, opening the three weapons from time to time, the metal collided with each other, and sometimes the sharp spear head was like a snake sticking out its tongue, swimming in the vital point of the three generals.

After more than 30 fights, Ma Chao also felt a little tired, so he simply killed the three generals, and with a silver gun, he first flew the blade of the horse to the sky; With another swing, he unleashed his blade; With another stab, the spear head first pierced through the iron armor, and then sank deep into Cheng Yi's stomach.

Cheng Yi threw his weapon in despair, and held Ma Chao's gun head tightly with both hands. Ma Chao felt that this Cheng Yi was really crazy, and actually wanted to pull his gun head out of his stomach. At the next moment, Ma Chao could feel that his spear head had hit something hard, which was difficult to pierce, and it should be Cheng Yi's backbone.

When he looked up again, Zhang Heng and Ma Yu had already run away, and Cheng Yi's face showed an angry and painful look, and the next second he suddenly tilted his head and died. Ma Chao pulled out the spear inserted in Cheng Yi's stomach, and actually brought out Cheng Yi's white, round intestines! Immediately, Ma Chao vomited.

What Ma Chao didn't notice was that he killed two generals of the rebels in a row in the midst of the chaos, and the head of the candidate was hung on the horse's neck, which had already plunged the rebels' phalanxes into chaos and panic. After all, although the three generals are very low-powered, they are also the generals of the rebels. Seeing his own general being killed three people in a row by Ma Chao with ease, the rebel soldiers were terrified no matter how brave and good they were.

Without Chengyi, Ma Play fled again, and the combat power of the 6,000 cavalry who came to support the right army was not as good as Ma Chao's troops, and soon Ma Chao's troops defeated this support army, setting off a bloody storm in the rebel array.

Han Sui stood on the four-horse carriage and coldly watched Ma Chao and his troops ravaging his formation, without saying a word. Cheng Gongying galloped from a distance and shouted anxiously: "Lord! Ma Chao is brave, if you don't intercept him quickly, our army will be defeated! ”

Han Sui said coldly: "Intercept? No. This horse killed my four generals, and followed my army, how can the old man spare him? ”

Cheng Gongying said suspiciously: "That lord ......"

Han Sui said calmly: "Order: All the troops of the whole army immediately surround this Jinma Chao, and the old man wants him to die today!" ”

"No! Subordinates, let's go! With that, Cheng Gongying ran away.

Soon, Ma Chao, who was fighting happily, suddenly heard a dull sound, cut down a military marquis, and looked around, it turned out that Han Sui's rebel army was all in action, and it was rapidly gathering on his side, obviously to surround him.

One of the soldiers shouted: "My lord, the enemy army wants to surround our army, what should I do?" ”

Ma Chao thought for a while and ordered: "Order, after defeating this support army, the whole army will retreat north." ”

"No!"

Ma Chao's will to fight far exceeded that of this support army, and the battle was in a one-sided state. But the other troops quickly surrounded Ma Chao, giving the support army full confidence; Ma Play and Zhang Heng also rushed back, and their command system returned to normal. This made these six parts tenacious, and Ma Chao led the troops to fight desperately, but only brought a lot of casualties.

The battlefield was changing rapidly, and Han Sui's hundreds of thousands of foot riders quickly formed a huge encirclement of Ma Chao at this time while Ma Chao was fighting hard. Han Sui also sent 20,000 foot soldiers to hold shields in front, forming four strong and tall shield walls. This is a sharp weapon to restrain cavalry.

Ma Chao felt bad at this time; Gradually, the reinforcements that he had defeated withdrew from the heart, leaving only Ma Chao and his troops. Ma Chao looked from a distance, and there were endless rebel troops on all sides, with the shield wall in front, the pikemen behind the shields, and the rest of the foot soldiers with other weapons, all of which were also in full array; After the infantry, there were more cavalry. He's already under siege!

Han Sui looked at Ma Chao in the encirclement, and his eyes gradually became cold. In just a dozen days, this handsome young man defeated him nine times in a row, beheaded four of his generals, surrendered tens of thousands of his troops for his own use, and seized several of his cities, causing him troubles that even the emperor could not cause. If you don't kill this man today, you will be in great trouble in the future.

Thinking like this, Han Sui suddenly snatched the flag from the flag bearer's hand and waved it resolutely. This is the banner for launching a general offensive. Han Sui's military drums shook loudly, and the soldiers all raised their swords, guns, bows and crossbows in their hands, and shouted in a low voice: Ho ho ho!

The trilogy began to panic, but Ma Chao stared at the car in the distance, and he could see that he was in a hurry, but he didn't pay attention to the encirclement in front of him. The man standing upright on the carriage was not very tall, dressed in a dark black coat, with gray sideburns, a hooked nose, high cheekbones, small eyes, and thin lips, and looked extremely sinister. Ma Chao saw that Han Sui was also staring at him tightly, and his cold eyes never moved away.

The encirclement was shrinking, and the shield wall slowly advanced, and the rebels behind followed with a clamour, squeezing his troops into a low plateau. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Ma Chao, and it seems that Ma Chao's capture is already a sure thing.

Han Sui looked at Ma Chao from afar, and saw that his foot soldiers gradually squeezed Ma Chao's soldiers to retreat again and again, expecting that this Jin Ma Chao would not be able to escape, he showed a relieved smile, and his tense body also relaxed.

However, Han Sui saw that Ma Chao seemed to be laughing too, and Ma Chao said something to him. Han Sui couldn't hear it through thousands of troops, but he could judge from Ma Chao's mouth shape that Ma Chao seemed to be saying: Do you think that you can do anything about me in this way? Han Sui stopped laughing.

After Ma Chao passed on the provocation to Han Sui, he suddenly turned around to face his subordinates. His troops were no longer as fierce as they had just been, and they all huddled together, looking at the rebels who were getting closer and closer.

The drums rumbled, and the shield wall of the first line of the rebels was one man high, and the sturdy Liangzhou man pushed the heavy and thick shield with both hands, and his feet were on the ground, pushing forward with difficulty. In the gap between the shield and the shield, sharp spearheads stretched out one after another; From behind the shield flew out one or two cold arrows, and from time to time they shot down his soldiers; More rebels are holding on to their blades and advancing step by step.
