Chapter 70: A Glimmer of Life
Under the fire of 10,000 arrows, countless arrows slashed across the sky, and then fell, shooting down hundreds of people, and some war horses also fell directly to the ground because they were shot and suffered heavy losses. After being shot down suddenly, the speed of the flying horse slowed down rapidly. Ma was shocked, once he slowed down, he would definitely be surrounded by Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing and Liang Xing. Sure enough, as soon as the flying cavalry slowed down, the three armies of the rebels tightly surrounded it, and the speed was very fast.
Ma Chao thought to himself that this was over, as long as the three armies of the rebels each rushed to kill his flying cavalry from three directions, the flying cavalry would definitely not be able to resist the enemy on three sides, and the men and horses would inevitably wither, and even the entire army would be annihilated. Ma Chao regretted it again in his heart, regretting that he couldn't see Cheng Gongying's intentions in time.
What Ma Chao expected was exactly what Cheng Gongying premeditated. Seeing that Jin Ma Chao was surrounded in the heart of the wall, and his remnants of the defeated army surrounded him, Cheng Gongying happily ordered all the rebels to charge, killing Jin Ma Chao in one fell swoop!
With an order, Cheng Gongying's Chinese army, Yan Xingzhi's left flank, and Liang Xingzhi's right flank all clamoured, and then urged the war horses to rush towards Ma Chao. At this time, Ma Chao recalled the key to the group fight, and ordered his troops to rush with him to the weakest Chinese army.
But Cheng Gongying knew Ma Chao's intentions, and ordered his subordinates to ride and shoot, and immediately shot down again. Ma Chao's flying ride was like a stubble of water spinach, and half of the stubble was cut off in an instant.
After being shot down, the broken flying horse was unable to advance at all. When Ma Chaozheng was depressed, he shouted loudly, he hurriedly looked around, it turned out that the three rebel armies had rushed to him, and he was in close contact with his troops.
Like three torrents, the rebels are fierce; Ma Chao's flying horse was also lost due to his slow speed and maneuverability; The rebels are already outnumbered, and they are rushing from three sides, where is the opponent of the rebels? was immediately killed, and the screams were endless.
Ma Chao was furious and fought with guns, but he could only kill and wound a limited number of rebel soldiers, and he couldn't save his troops at all. In an instant, his troops were strangled by the rebels until less than thirty or forty horsemen remained, all wounded. The rest of the flying horses were killed, and the survivors rushed to surround Ma Chao.
Ma Chaoxin finished speaking, there are only so many parts left, but the rebels still have 20,000 thousands of men. Although he has the courage of ten thousand people, how can he get out alive from the encirclement of so many people? Even Cheng Gongying doesn't have to lead an army to kill, as long as he orders his troops to fire a salvo, his silver spear can't fly tens of thousands of arrows at a time, and he will definitely die. And the main force he hoped for had not yet arrived, and this time, perhaps he was really going to die.
Could it be that this journey will end hastily at this time? Ma Chao was desperate.
Recalling that in the past ten days, he has won a hundred battles, and he will win every battle, and he is almost beaten by Han Sui, the nine-song Yellow River, and his military exploits are so great that he almost overshadows the "Liangzhou Sanming". But now, he is deeply encircled, and there is no chance of surviving the siege, and he is about to die at the hands of Cheng Gongying.
But when it came time to die, Ma Chao let it go. Ma Chao thought to himself, the big deal is death, anyway, he has been too addicted to fighting in all directions these days!
Let this battle become my last battle, just like Xiang Yu's battle, I have to die happily! Ma Chao shouted in his heart.
So, with the determination to die, Ma Chao held the hand of the silver spear and held it tighter.
At this time, Cheng Gongying ordered the rebels to stop the attack. The rebel armies retreated like clouds. Cheng Gongying stepped out of the horse and shouted at Ma Chao: "Jin Ma Chao, I, Cheng Gongying, know that you are an immortal hero." But at this point, you've already lost. Surrender and you will be spared! ”
Ma Chao roared angrily: "There is only Jin Ma Chao who died in battle, and there is no Jin Ma Chao who surrendered!" Cheng Gongying, you are not my opponent, how can I surrender to you?! ”
"Hehe, I am indeed far inferior to you in terms of resourcefulness, but are you not surrounded by me now? As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, and it is better to surrender and serve our lord. Wouldn't it be beautiful if you won the world in the future, and you could also have the reward of being a marquis? ”
"Haha! Han Sui is just an old puppet! I am a hero of the world, and An can serve an old dog with a tiger? Ma Chao laughed wildly.
When Cheng Gongying heard this, his eyes narrowed. Cheng Gongying said sharply: "I appreciate your courage and strategy, so I can persuade you." Why do you talk out and kill yourself? ”
Ma Chao said loudly: "If you want to fight, you will fight, it is inconvenient to say more!" ”
Cheng Gongying sneered: "Hmph, okay, I'll grant your wish!" The whole army obeys the order! ”
"In!" Twenty thousands, thousands, and so on.
Ma Chao was not afraid, and the remaining forty horsemen also held their heads high, patiently waiting for their last moment. Ma Chao closed his eyes, and he could feel his heartbeat flattening. Immediately, he opened his eyes again and tightened his grip on the silver spear.
Just when Ma Chao no longer had any hope of survival, a shocking change appeared. Just as Cheng Gongying was about to give the order: "The whole army will attack", the earth began to shake slightly.
Cheng Gongying's heart "chuckled", and he turned his head to look at his subordinates, the rebel soldiers were already looking around in a panic, and the war horses were also moving uneasily.
The next moment, a red line suddenly appeared on the horizon of the far western plain. Cheng Gongying was shocked, because the red line was actually Ma Chaojun, who was at the forefront. Ma Chaojun rushed to the horizon, and it just became a line. And because the Han army's military uniform is still vermilion, there is a red line on the horizon.
Cheng Gongying blinked again, and saw that the red line was rapidly spreading forward, and a patch of red covered the western horizon. That's the countless Ma Chaojun.
Ma Chao also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth, needless to say, it must be the main force of 30,000 thousands of cavalry led by Pang De, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu finally arrived, just as he explained before. Although it came a little late, it was also a coincidence. Ma Chao raised his head and sighed: "Heaven will not kill me!" ”
Ma Chaojun's savior was anxious, his speed was fast, and he soon pursued Cheng Gongying's department less than four miles. Ma Chao smiled at Cheng Gongying and said, "Cheng Gongying, what do you want me to do?" ”
Cheng Gongying was in a hurry, and wanted to immediately withdraw the encirclement and the whole army to meet Ma Chao's main force, but thinking that Ma Chao was the biggest scourge, Cheng Gongying gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to press and kill Ma Chao.
But without waiting for him to give an order, Ma Chao excitedly shouted to the remaining forty horsemen: "Soldiers, our rescuers are here!" Rush out with me and join them! ”
"Yes!" The forty-odd horsemen replied cheerfully, and the arrival of the rescuers had given them the last straw, and with a thrill in their hearts, they forgot all about the fact that they were still far less than the rebel soldiers who surrounded them.
