Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 324 High-spirited, looking down on Xiliang

"It will be like this..."

"Why is this so, these generals are really Xu Bowen's generals?"

"Damn, these people have this kind of force! Don't make a name for yourself! Hide in Bingzhou and be a little general!"

Ma Chao's nose started to sore. I have never suffered such grievances since I grew up. I grew up fighting with others in Xiliang. Whether I fought alone or led troops, I never lost.

Now they lost to Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and tonight they even lost to Zhao Zilong, who has never met but has always been famous.

Next, I will lose to those elderly people, who else can I lose to?
Xu Bowen!
I don't even know what Xu Bowen looks like...

Are these people okay?

Are there no wars elsewhere?

Why are these generals all of a sudden coming to the border?

Ma Chao was distraught.

After resting for a day like this, I no longer have the energy to lead the troops as aggressively as I did at the beginning, and I am muddled every day, and I am still replaying the battle of that day.

The figures of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were both lingering in their minds, but they had just rested for a while, and immediately came to fight again.

This time it was a veteran over half a century old.

When the guards came to report, the entire big tent fell into a deathly silence. Ma Chao and Ma Dai had nothing to say, veteran? !
"Even, the veteran dares to bully me?!"

In desperation, Ma Chao raised his head with hatred in his eyes, and looked at the visitor with disbelief, feeling that his heart was complicated and extremely hurt.

This is probably the biggest insult he has ever suffered in his life.

"Bring my gun! I will kill this rude man today, Xu Bowen is too deceitful, let him lose a veteran!"

"Brother can't!"

Ma Dai got up quickly, almost hugged his upper body, and stopped him eagerly. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Xu Bowen is not a reckless man, on the contrary, he knows how to break other people's mentality.

At this time, there must be a reason for allowing an old future to challenge.

"Brother, I really can't go anymore. I knew a little bit before that there is indeed a veteran under Xu Bowen's command. He once beheaded Yan Liang. He led tens of thousands of troops and was extremely brave."

"It is said that he was originally a general of Jingzhou, but he came to the north with Xu Zhen later. Over the years, he has made many military exploits under his command.

"That is also a general who is over half a hundred years old!!"

Ma Chao pushed his brother away, his face was already crying, if he really didn't dare to go, he might be laughed at for the rest of his life, and it was just like what Zhao Zilong said!

I might as well settle down in a corner, stop fighting for hegemony and seek achievements, why not take advantage of my father's death to change to a title, live on my last breath, and become the biggest laughing stock in Xiliang over the years.

must go! !
How can you be a coward because of this!

"Don't go, don't go! If you lose again..."

"I didn't lose!"

Ma Chao's eyes were red, and he cut off Ma Dai's words with a loud roar. At this time, he was forced to the edge of the cliff by Xu Zhen.

"Brother, calm down."

Ma Dai persuaded earnestly.

Ma Chao sighed heavily and said, "Why am I not calm?!"

"At this time, what is the situation, don't you understand?!"

"We have been forced to the brink of retreat by Xu Zhen. If the morale is suppressed, even Jingzhao will not be able to defend. How can a soldier without morale stop the victorious army? !"

"Why do we dare to raid Tongguan?!"

Ma Chao puffed up his cheeks, and patiently explained to Ma Dai, staring at him intently, his Ma family's brothers rarely have great talents, although they have talents in both civil and military, they are all slaves, so they should not make judgments on their own.

After all, it is not the talent of the coach.

When Ma Dai heard this, he really understood that he had to win once. If he didn't fight or lost, his morale would be hit, and if he sent troops to fight at this time, he would only lose faster.

He has never known why Xu Zhen played such a teasing challenge, but now he understands that this is not to show off his strong general Ruyun, but to take advantage of the situation to continue to suppress, and at the same time to accumulate a large army at the border , ready to fight Ma Chao at any time.

The Xiliang soldiers themselves had high fighting spirit before the war, and were boosted by anger, and their combat power was extraordinary, but now they are completely different.

Once the war starts, they will have no chance of winning, and will soon be beaten helplessly by the Bingzhou soldiers. This mentality, even the general thinks so, let alone the many soldiers under his command.

"Brother, now..."

"I have to go!"

Ma Chao was about to cry, and asked!
At this time, silence should be better than sound!

What else can I do if I don't go? !

"Pentty veteran, it's nothing to worry about, besides, I have a day off, and now I have recovered very well, and I will never be defeated by him. You immediately go to gather the three armies, and once I kill this general, I will immediately send troops to attack."

"Here!"

Ma Dai clasped his fists and left, disappearing from the tent in an instant.

Not long after, Ma Chao sent out troops with the guards, followed by the cavalry, and Ma Dai informed Han Sui of the matter, and Han Sui gathered his own army to prepare for a decisive battle with Xu Zhen.

After noon, the winter snow had melted a little. Huang Zhong came with his bow on his back, his saber in his hand, and waited leisurely for a long time.

When I saw this general in brocade robe and white helmet coming, I immediately burst out laughing, "Hahahaha! I thought he was such a wise and mighty man, so I dared to call himself a mighty general. I didn't expect it to be a Yellow-mouthed kid."

"The barbarians of Xiliang are really arrogant. More than ten years ago, there was a Dong thief who was overwhelmed. Some time ago, his father entered Xudu. I didn't expect to see you today. It is even more sad. You are a real man. The house is declining, so you people who have no ability take advantage of it."

"Come, come! Stab it with your long spear!"

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and looked at him. At the same time, he swung his saber around in mid-air, which angered Ma Chao for a moment, making him grit his teeth and stare at Huang Zhong viciously.

He was originally a young man, even if he had a heart, he still felt uneasy after hearing these words, and of course he refused to be convinced, especially when he mentioned the death of his father.

"Old thief, die!"

After Ma Chao yelled angrily, he galloped on his horse and rushed towards Huang Zhong's side so that he could shoot with his right hand. Although ordinary old men are brave and skilled, they have very little strength.

Boxing is naturally invincible to young and strong.

Since he is arrogant, he must not let go of this opportunity. Within one round, the old thief will be unable to resist because of his arrogance. It is best to fall to the ground immediately.

In an instant, Ma Chao galloped up to him, Huang Zhong stepped aside, and dodged the blow very quickly. He waved the handle of the saber with both hands, his eyes froze, and he let out a stern shout, and slashed down obliquely.

It turned out that he also wanted to anger Ma Chao, and his vacant eyes saw his flaws early on, right after he fired the gun.

The moment Ma Chao shot his gun, he used both hands and feet with great force. The experienced Huang Zhong had already seen through that this was a real move, and Ma Chao wanted to stab himself to death with one blow.

The young man was too impatient, looking for the opportunity to fight for the first time when he was caught off guard.

In fact, although Huang Zhong is not considered old and cunning, he also showed his flaws as soon as he came. He seemed frivolous and impetuous, and he didn't take Ma Chao seriously. It attaches great importance to.

So it can be understood at a glance that Ma Chao is completely fooled.

A master's move, in fact, this move is enough, Ma Chao slashed his spear to block, was cut on the spear with a knife, the horse struggled to leave sideways, avoiding a little distance, but Huang Zhong would not let this opportunity go.

Holding the rein with one hand, he urged the horse to fight as soon as his legs crossed, entangled Ma Chao and prevented him from going away. The places where the long knife fell were all in the vital parts, making Ma Chao overwhelmed.

At the same time, Huang Zhong's strength is also great, not as Ma Chao thought, although he is getting old, he is as brave as a general in his prime.

He is even bigger than many Xiliang warriors, and his martial arts and sword skills are not fast, but they are extremely precise, and he can perfectly catch the opportunity when Ma Chao's new strength is not born.

Therefore, in less than a dozen rounds, Ma Chao was already getting more and more tired, and was gaining the upper hand. At this time, he swung his spear vigorously, dashed several times, hit a breathing distance, quickly pulled the horse away, jumped He drove not far away to gasp for breath, and looked at Huang Zhong with horror on his face.

At this moment, his eyes no longer showed the slightest contempt for the old man. Although the old man had white silk in his beard and hair, his spirit was rare, and he didn't feel tired after more than ten rounds.

Really not simple.

Who are Xu Zhen's subordinates? !
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and stared angrily for a moment, and there was already fear in his heart, thinking to himself: They are so powerful in fighting alone, and they have their own skills in leading troops. Can I really cross Tongguan and invade Bingzhou?

Cao Cao has Xu Bowen guarding Bingzhou, Xiliang may not have another chance within the next two years.

"Hmph, little baby, your martial arts are indeed good, but you are far from being invincible in the world. Compared with many old generals of the past, you are still far behind."

"The old fierce general?"

As soon as Ma Chao heard it, he realized that this old guy was showing off his achievements. Didn't you behead most of the famous generals in the north?

Take it out at this time, the implication is that you generals under Xu Zhen's command are even better.

"Hmph, fight as you please, what do you say, just now I thought you were a [-]-year-old veteran, and I never used my full strength. I, Ma Chao, have never fought with the old, the weak, women and children. If you take advantage of this and continue to fight, I will be tied, and the outcome will be different." What's the point, let Dian Wei come out, I want to compete with him again!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Huang Zhong laughed a few times, with a bright smile on his face, and then he put it away suddenly, and opened his bow and arrow at an extremely fast speed, and all his movements were almost done in one go.

With a whizzing sound, the shadow of the arrow flew over, and shot down the red tassel on Ma Chao's helmet in an instant, and the surrounding soldiers immediately applauded.

Ma Chao moved his head and felt a huge force. He took off his helmet and was surprised.

"what?!"

Such fast archery, this old man's most powerful thing is not horse fighting, but archery, which is so precise and powerful.

If it was shot in my face, I'm afraid he would be dead by now.

"Little baby, do you think I also spared your life? When you were fighting alone, you never mentioned weapons. There is nothing wrong with using a bow and arrow. If you want to fight to the death, I have already killed you and returned to life!"

Ma Chao's heart was hurt again, and he was a strange man. Xu Bowen is indeed a talented person, otherwise how could he gather so many warriors to follow him.

Archery is superb, unlike those who are brave and brave, this is an elegant skill, such as swordsmanship, which can be used for elegant celebrations, and can also be used to kill enemies on the battlefield.

A sharp archer who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps is much rarer than a fierce general. No wonder this 50-year-old man is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. After this archery is taught, the soldiers and horses trained are so powerful.

At this time, on the hillside in the distance, a general from the formation suddenly came out and slowly walked towards them, everyone's eyes were attracted.

I saw a young general with a long knife hanging on his waist. He was handsome and mighty, with a solemn face and galloped out. The knife on his waist was as long as a horse-cutting knife, with a handle more than a foot long.

The blade is like a seedling, with smooth lines and a carved red blood line.

The war horse under his seat had thick and flying hair, tall and mighty, like a steed in the sky, with a domineering aura, just walking out, the war horse under his seat was a little timid.

This horse... Ma Chao is not unfamiliar at all, this is the mount that all warriors in the world want to surrender, the Chitu who became famous because of Lu Bu, and famous because of Xu Zhen.

Red like fire, eyes like knives.

The red rabbit in the horse.

"Xu Bowen?"

Ma Chao asked tentatively.

He had thought that it might be him, but he didn't expect to be so young. All the portraits in his camp were from four years ago, but now he is younger than the portraits.

"Ma Mengqi," the person who came was Xu Zhen, who looked at Ma Chao a dozen steps away, with a cold and emotionless face, as if the overall situation was settled and he didn't need to take any more risks.

It's just that Ma Chao has absolutely no intention of surrendering now. He doesn't know what Xu Zhen's intention is when he comes. If he comes to persuade him to surrender, even if he is surrounded by enemies, he will get his wish.

"What are you here for?"

"Fight with you alone!" Xu Zhen said indifferently: "All the generals under my command have fought against you, so naturally I would like to come too?!"

"I also know this well."

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, Gao Shun, who was not far behind, took a look at him and said nothing bitterly.

He still doesn't understand why he was asked to come here, all the generals have been beaten, but when it came to him, Che Qi said that the time was almost right, so he pulled Chi Tu and went up.

"you?!"

Ma Chao almost laughed out loud, Xu Bowen? !

Fight me? !
The enemy's commander, with such a status, wouldn't be able to go into battle in person, and after all these years, how could Xu Zhen still remember the feeling of charging? !

It has been several years since he led the 30 army as the coach. He did not charge for the riders, and the vanguard under his command had his own generals. How could he understand the difficulty of fighting.

Even if he was born in the army, he would not dare to come to the battlefield to fight alone.

Since he dared to come, maybe he really has the ability, or maybe he is arrogant.

But I have to say, this may be the best opportunity, as long as Xu Bowen is killed, the general will be greatly reversed, this is an opportunity he personally sent, don't I want it? !

"come!"

Ma Chao smiled lightly, took a deep breath at the same time, dropped his helmet on the ground, and did not pull out the arrows on it. At this moment, he only had Xu Bowen who was also not wearing a helmet in his eyes.

And the two-handed seedling knife on his waist.

The moment Ma Chao yelled, Xu Zhen had already charged on his horse, leaning over the head of the war horse. The Chitu was so fast that it rushed to his eyes like a red streamer.

A dozen or so steps under its feet are like a small ditch, which can be reached by jumping vertically. The shadow comes first and the power comes later, pressing down in front of him like a mountain, which shocked Ma Chao greatly.

This person doesn't move, but when he moves, he comes with momentum, he is indeed the power of a famous general, so he is half a beat behind.

Also fell into the defensive.

The knife on Xu Zhen's waist was not pulled out, but lifted from the side to be unsheathed.

No wonder it is almost horizontal.

Just as Ma Chao had this feeling, the knife had already cut a semicircle and cut off his head.

A dark shadow covered the sunlight, and Xu Zhen was standing on the horse.

when! !

There was a loud crisp sound, and the surrounding soldiers were silent at this time. In the daytime, in the snow, Xu Zhen fell with his saber, and Ma Chao raised his horizontal spear with both hands to resist.

His war horse even knelt on its front legs because of this, while the red rabbit held its toes high, raised its head in disdain, and raised its front hooves, showing off its might.

It seems like a perfect picture.
