Chapter 1270 It's Good
Letters of appeal for help from Liu Bei and Cai Mao reached Ma Chao one by one, but even so, Ma Chao's march was still a bit slow.Because he knew that, first of all, Liu Bei was a pretty good fighter in battle, and definitely not the idiot in history who was killed as soon as he saw Cao Bing.Every time he failed, most of them were faced with Cao Cao, who made a move himself.

And as long as he doesn't face Cao Cao, Liu Bei has almost never failed even against masters of Xiahou and Xiahouyuan's level.Although Sun Ce came aggressively this time, Liu Bei fought a protracted battle. Ma Chao did not believe that Liu Bei would be completely defeated by Sun Ce in just three or four days.

Another reason is Cai Mao.In fact, Ma Chao can control Jingzhou, and Cai Mao's role in it goes without saying.But this Cai Mao was not recruited by Ma Chao, and his sincerity still needs to be verified.This time, his strength completely overwhelmed all the forces in Jingzhou, and Ma Chao would not be at ease if he was not allowed to lose some meat in this battle.

It's impossible for Cai Mao not to know Ma Chao's intentions, so he will contribute the most in this battle.Not to mention, there is Zhuge Liang beside Liu Bei, who will definitely not let Liu Bei suffer.

Considering the above highlights, although Ma Chao is worried about the war, he is not very anxious.Moreover, along the way, he didn't even unfurl his own battle flag. On the banners in front of him were the banners of 'Huo', 'Liu', and 'Zhang', the second-rate Jingzhou warriors in history.

Yes, this time Ma Chao commanded [-] direct descendants of Nanyang elites, [-] Xiangyang guards, and [-] Huya cavalry.There are only [-] combat power in total, but, counting the recruited civilian husbands and servants, there are more than [-] people.Along the way, it is also considered mighty and powerful.

This time Ma Chao read Liu Bei's latest battle report, which still said that Sun Ce was as brave as a tiger.I asked Ma Chao to support him quickly, but after reading too much of this kind of letter, Ma Chao became a little numb. He didn't have half of his eyeliner on the frontline battlefield.Although the situation is similar to what Liu Bei said, it is definitely not that serious.

"Xiao Fengchu, who do you think will win the battle between the north and the south?" Ma Chao put down the battle report and asked Pang Tong at the side.

"You." Pang Debeng uttered a word, looking a little absent-minded.

"Why?"

"Sun Ce is indeed a good commander. It's a pity that he was only a general under Yuan Shu before, and later he pacified Jiangdong. He thought that the heroes of the world were nothing more than that, but how could Jiangdong Liu Yao, Xu Gong, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang's disciples compete with him? Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others in the Central Plains are compared? The world only sees his merits, Sun Ce, but not his opponents. What's more, the Central Plains has fought several times, and its military strength is even more incomparable compared with Jiangdong." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he hummed twice, as if he didn't want to boast about Ma Chao, but he had no choice but to say the truth.

Hearing that Pang Tong's words were reasonable, Ma Chao actually felt a little happy in his heart.But he was not happy with Pang Tong's aloofness, and was even more angry that this guy almost took away his Chang'an lair. He couldn't help but think of something, and deliberately said: "Mr. Pang De is good in Chang'an. I arranged for him to teach in Taixue. When he entered Chang'an, he still looked like he wanted to die, but now it seems that even if he is driven away, he will not want to leave."

Ma Chao originally wanted to make fun of Pang Tong, but unexpectedly, Pang Tong didn't take it seriously.Instead, he hesitated for a while, and finally asked with some embarrassment: "How is Mr. Huang?"

Huang Gong was referring to Huang Chengyan, of course, but Ma Chao didn't think so. Seeing Pang Tong's expression and the fact that he didn't even care about his own uncle, he naturally wouldn't miss Huang Chengyan.Then a person's name came to mind, Ma Chao gave a sly smile, and replied: "Mr. Huang is doing well, but he is worried about Ah Chou. The marriageable age has come, but he has not yet found a suitable person. But don't worry, Chang'an There are so many talented people there, after I go back, I will definitely find a good son-in-law for Huang Gong!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Pang Tong became emotional immediately, and shouted loudly: "I had a bet with Mr. Huang. If I become famous in the world in the future, he will marry Ah Chou..."

"Huh?" Ma Chao looked at Pang Tong with twinkling eyes. He didn't expect to get such a shocking news by accident. After seeing Pang Tong's rough and yellow face flushed, Ma Chao suddenly asked again: "Then you did it privately back then. The purpose of going out of the mountain is to prove it to that old man Huang Chengyan?"

This is very possible. Pang Tong and A Chou are childhood sweethearts, and smart guys are usually precocious. It is not an exaggeration for a bold guy like Pang Tong to have this idea.What's more, Ma Chao has seen Huang Yueying with his own eyes. She is not ugly at all, but her hair is a little burnt yellow. It has a more fashionable and pure atmosphere.

Pang Tong didn't answer, but to Ma Chao, this was the default.Ma Chao couldn't help but wanted to laugh out loud at the time, but after seeing Pang Tong's appearance of wanting to eat people, he tried his best to hold back.However, another thought flashed through him, and he was a little startled: "No, I remember that old man Huang kept talking about marrying Ah Chou to Zhuge Liang. Could it be that it's because that guy is more handsome than you?..."

Ma Chao became more and more suspicious, but Pang Tong flew into a rage, thinking that he was no match for Ma Chao, so he acted like a pity, and never spoke back.Seeing this, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: I can't imagine that there are such interesting stories of dragon and phoenix fighting in history!And in this era, Pang Tong came out of the mountain ahead of time, not for fame and wealth, but just for the blood of a young man who had just begun to love him!
But when Ma Chao managed to play tricks on Pang Tong, the army in front suddenly became agitated, and a horse galloped quickly: "My lord, there are a large number of refugees fleeing ahead!"

Ma Chao's expression immediately turned cold. At this time, there are still refugees fleeing, presumably it can only be because of the defeat in the front battlefield.In other words, Liu Bei was forced to retreat by Sun Ce again, even during the pursuit.As a result, Ma Chao quickly asked, "Approximately how many refugees are there?"

"About a thousand people."

Ma Chao nodded again. Once the war broke out, the local people had generally fled. At this moment, there are thousands of people fleeing.Ma Chao immediately waved his gun and gave an order: "Nanyang's elite are in front, waiting in line, Xiangyang Guards and Huya Riding on the two wings to guard, spare the refugees and the defeated soldiers after the defense, and then obey the order to counterattack the enemy!"

"No!" The scout was ordered to leave, and then the flags were passed on one by one.

Gan Ning and Tai Shici immediately heard the news and commanded the formation. Although they did not personally drill the Nanyang Army, the orders of the Ma's Army had already been unified, and the two still commanded like arms.On the contrary, Xiangyangwei and Huyaqi, who had never cooperated with Ma Jiajun, reacted a bit sluggishly, but they only defended on the two wings. Huo Jun, Liu Pan, and Zhang Yun performed very well.

As soon as the formation was formed, a majestic and murderous atmosphere permeated the official road. Those fleeing civilians looked at the fortified formation of swords, guns and shields, and dared to step forward to charge, and detoured from both sides.Then I saw Jingzhou's rout soldiers shouting for fleeing generals, they all lost their weapons, took off their armor, and ran away with terrified expressions.Seeing that the reinforcements were here, instead of reviving, they rushed forward with shouts, trying to sneak into the battle formation and seek shelter.

"Fire the gun and raise the crossbow!" Seeing this, Ma Chao was slightly annoyed. This kind of situation would never happen in the Ma's army!

In an instant, the tight phalanx turned into a porcupine releasing sharp thorns. The cold tip of the two-foot-long carbine gun pointed directly at the sky, and the thin but deadly arrow was ruthlessly held flat.Seeing this situation, those rout soldiers were dumbfounded for a moment.It was Huo Jun who couldn't bear it in the end. Seeing that Ma Chao might order to kill these rout soldiers at any time, he shouted loudly: "Rush to the two wings and go around, as long as you don't attack the battle formation!!"

As if being pardoned, the defeated soldiers immediately turned into two streams rushing through the battle formation.Ma Chao frowned slightly, feeling annoyed and puzzled.Annoyed when they saw the reinforcements here, they didn't want to stand firm and counterattack, but they still had suspicions about the reinforcements; and what they wondered was what happened in front that scared them so panicked?

Soon, Cai Mao also appeared in a panic, fled in front of Ma Chao in embarrassment, and said, "Sun Ce is here!!"

Ma Chao immediately drew the iron sword at his waist, the sword appeared like lightning, and slashed at Cai Mao.Cai Mao's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't even have time to react.There was only a crisp sound, and the lion head helmet on his head snapped off, but his head was not injured at all.

"Can you speak calmly now?" Ma Chao slowly withdrew his sword, but his murderous aura remained unchanged.

This sword directly struck out Ma Chao's ruthlessness, and shattered Cai Mao's heart and soul. Under the cold and disdainful eyes of the young coach, Cai Mao finally swallowed hard: "Our army obeys Liu Bei's orders, Unable to defend for several days, Sun Ce yelled at the formation and fought, but secretly attacked our camp with Huang Zu's scouts as guides. The general fought back vigorously and lost to Sun Ce's bravery..."

Before the words finished, Cai Mao saw that Ma Chao was already smiling.Looking back, I saw one standing up and flying high, and a white-robed general under his banner charged with a spear, followed closely by thousands of Jiangdong cavalry. It was Sun Ce.

"Well done, we met in the first battle, Sun Ce." Ma Chao looked past Cai Mao and locked on Sun Ce directly.
