Xiaoguangong

Chapter 353 Farewell
Ma Chao really wanted to block Chang Diao's attack and prove his sincerity to Cheng Gongying, but he found that Chang Diao might have seen through his strategy directly, so he simply lived in Xingguo Village, east of Changli River, without crossing the river at all. thought.

If it was a confrontation like this in the past, it would be very beneficial to Ma Chao, but now the morale of his army has been severely hit, and the cold weather has also made the soldiers quite uneasy. Ma Dai persuaded Ma Chao to leave and return to Ji County to meet Pang De first.

They came here excitedly from Hanzhong, not to blow the wind here. If they can't make a breakthrough quickly, everything will be over.

Dejectedly, Ma Chao crossed the river and returned to the south of the Weishui River. When he was about to join Pound again to attack Ji County, an autumn rain came unexpectedly.

The continuous autumn rain brought a bone-chilling coolness, and Ma Chaojun, who had just crossed the river and had not had time to set up camp, almost lost all of his combat effectiveness. He stared blankly at Ji County in the distance, crying loudly.

Xiliang warriors ruled the world, but this time they fell into boundless despair at the same time.

What made them even more desperate was that Xu Huang, who had been observing secretly, finally dispatched troops.

Xu Huang's use of troops highlights a combination of movement and stillness.

The fight in Yunshan was extremely lively before, and Xu Huang, who was sitting on an army of [-], remained motionless. The reason was that he had not received Yunshan's request for additional troops, and he had just occupied Shanggui because he was not attached to the people, so he had to be extra careful.

This made Guo Huai and the others dizzy, wishing to fight Xu Huang directly, blaming Xu Huang for being so cowardly.

But Xu Huang refused to send troops until he received the news that Ma Chaojun and Cheng Gongying had not joined forces, and Ma Chao returned to Ji County in desperation. 1000 people guard Shangbi to fight Ma Chao!
Facts have proved that Xu Huang's ability to grasp the timing of the battle is really unique.

Ma Chao was caught off guard, not to mention Ji County, even Xi County in the south was directly attacked by Xu Huang. The state army was like ants meeting an elephant, and was easily crushed, with screams and wailing everywhere.

Another incredible thing happened during the battle.

Guo Huai, who was on the verge of killing, charged head-first, and rushed directly to Ma Chao's side without paying attention!

Ma Chao often used this method of waiting for work when he was fighting, so that the inferior troops around him temporarily dispersed, he greeted the enemy in front of him, and then used unparalleled courage to strike head-on, and finally the whole army gathered to kill the powerful enemy.

When Guo Huai saw that it was Ma Chao, his heart turned cold. It can be seen that the fighting spirit of the whole army was on fire. He didn't know where the courage came from, but he raised his spear and singled out Ma Chao!

This is undoubtedly an act of courting death. Xu Huang cursed angrily while watching from a distance, and had to rush to rescue him, fearing that he would be pierced by a spear in an instant.

But what happened next left Xu Huang dumbfounded.

I saw the iron spear in Guo Huai's hand moving like the wind, covering Ma Chao's whole body with claws and teeth, and Ma Chao clumsily swung the iron spear to protect his whole body, his every move was rather jerky and sluggish, unexpectedly he was not Guo Huai's opponent at all!

Ma Chao was suppressed by Guo Huai!
The Liangzhou army turned pale with shock.

They never thought that there would be such a thing. Who is Ma Chao? It can be said that he is headstrong and capricious, but no one has ever doubted his martial arts. What is the origin of this Central Plains man? Ma Chao is not his opponent!

Guo Huai was also slightly surprised.

He had had a few chances to stab Ma Chao to the ground, but his wrists trembled in excitement, and he missed the chances one after another.

"The thief is going crazy, eat me Ma Dai with a spear!"

Seeing that Ma Chao was frustrated, Ma Dai rushed to support him.

He is the only one in the army who knows what happened.

After Ma Chao's defeat in Guanzhong, he had serious physical problems due to worry and anger. He was humiliated by Yang Fu and neglected by everyone in Hanzhong.

This time, Cheng Gongying would rather go back to Jincheng hungry than accept Ma Chao's rare kindness, which made Ma Chao's spirit completely collapsed, and he felt that there was no place for him in the world. Overbearing martial arts.

The peerless general who captured Xiahouba alive in the Battle of Chang'an was obviously still in his prime, but he could no longer display [-]% of his previous abilities, otherwise he would not have been beaten too hard by Guo Huai.

Ma Dai confronted Guo Huai with his spear, but Guo Huai couldn't resist immediately.

But Guo Huai has recovered from the previous surprise at this moment. He saw that Ma Dai's face was quite panicked. Lecture method, dancing wildly like a shower, constantly attacking Ma Dai.

Ma Dai couldn't take Guo Huai down for a while, and was quite anxious in his heart. He was about to turn his horse's head and back away a little, when he suddenly felt a killing intent slowly creeping towards him.

He looked out of the corner of his eye, and was immediately froze on the spot in fright.

I saw Xu Huang came galloping in light clothes at some point, this martial arts man from Hedong held a steel knife in his hand, his eyes were like lightning, like a giant bear standing upright, opened its huge mouth, and rushed towards Ma Dai fiercely!
Xu Huang was very experienced. He had already seen that Ma Chao's body had a serious problem, so he had nothing to fear. As long as he killed Ma Dai, the Liangzhou army would collapse completely, and the credit for killing Ma Chao would also fall into his own hands.

His surprise attack this time was just right, moving against the wind, he seemed to have figured out all the things he hadn't understood when discussing martial arts with Guan Yu before.

"Ma Dai, die for me!"

Xu Huang roared, and Ma Dai felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he fell into despair.

Just when Xu Huang was about to cut off Ma Dai's head, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the top of his head. The pain made him scream, and he fell off the horse directly!
A feathered arrow actually hit Xu Huang's forehead impartially!

If it wasn't for Dou Hou's obstruction, the arrow would have pierced through Xu Huang's head.

But even so, the arrow still pierced through the iron pocket, and a big hole was opened in Xu Huang's forehead. Xu Huang lost consciousness in pain at that time!

"General!" Guo Huai didn't know Xu Huang's life or death, he was angry and anxious, and attacked Ma Dai recklessly.

Ma Dai walked past the edge of life and death, feeling drenched in sweat. He looked into the distance and saw a burly man covered in iron armor riding a white horse, straddling his sword and bending his bow.

"Ling Ming! Ling Ming!" he shouted in surprise.

Pound's face was as gloomy as iron. He looked around and saw that the Liangzhou soldiers under Ma Chao's command were completely powerless to resist. They were clearly massacred by the enemy one-sidedly. Without Ma Chao as the backbone, the Liangzhou soldiers obviously couldn't hold on.

"Ling Ming! You come to lead the army, and the two of us will fight for a while!" Ma Dai said excitedly.

Pound shook his head slowly, and rode to Ma Chao's side.

Ma Chao, who was in his prime, was covered with sweat and was out of breath. A blood mark was slowly printed from the corner of his mouth, and he was really embarrassed.

If it was last year, no, even before crossing the river, how could he put Guo Huai's martial arts in his eyes.

Even if Xu Huang came in person, he might not be able to withstand Ma Chao's fiery bravery.

But now it's all over.

Ma Chao's most proud martial art has become like this, this proud Liangzhou man has completely collapsed.

He didn't even dare to face Pang De's gaze, his eyes were already full of tears.

"It's my fault, it's my fault." Ma Chao's voice was extremely hoarse, and he slowly admitted his mistake to Pang De in a low voice, "It's all my fault, if I had listened to Ling Ming before, I wouldn't have become like this .It's all my fault, it's me who brought the sons and daughters into a desperate situation!"

Looking at the fear and pain on the faces of Liangzhou soldiers around him, Pang De also slowly closed his eyes.

"This is fate. We used to kill and injure countless people across the border, and now these people are coming to revenge, and it is also our fate."

This resolute Liangzhou man paused, and his eyes became more gentle:
"Meng Qi, cheer up, the sons still have to rely on you to fight and get out of here. Zhiyue, if you take Meng Qi away, anyone can be captured, except Meng Qi. When I come to the back of the palace, I have to find a way for the sons way out!"

Ma Chao's sluggish eyes gradually recovered a bit of expression, he knew what this meant - Pound had already shown his dissatisfaction with himself a long time ago, and the two were still fighting side by side just because they remembered their former friendship.

This farewell...

I don't know if we can meet again next time.

After many years of fighting, there are fewer and fewer acquaintances around him. Now that Pound is leaving, Ma Chao doesn't know where the sky is and where the earth is.

He bit his lips tightly, his face was full of sadness, but in the end he just let out a breath of foul air slowly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you Lingming, I look forward to... see you later!"
