The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440 Chapter 439 West Wind (6)

The Liqian people with scarred faces are called Perici, and still retain a name that is different from the Han people. In many ways of life, Roman traditions have gradually faded over time, and the Liqian people's way of life has gradually been adopted by the Han people. Replacement, but their ancestors have never forgotten where they came from.

The excellent fighting skills of the Liqian people have been well passed down, and this alone is enough for the Liqian people to gain a firm foothold in this era.

Ma Chao saw with his own eyes the fighting methods of the Liqian people, which he had never seen before. When attacking and defending, no one commanded them, but everyone knew the details of every battle and what to do. Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts. Yes, just like a whole person.

The horse thief was beaten away, and Peric was slightly injured, but he was fine. In the rest of the caravan, there were doctors following him, who simply gave Peric some golden sore medicine. After the dressing was completed, Peric moved Free, like nothing happened.

However, the rest of the caravan was not happy because of this, but more worried and uneasy.

Although Ma Chao and others repelled the horse thief and killed the two leaders of the horse thief, in their view, the horse thief will never let it go. When the day dawns, when everyone embarks on the westward journey again, they may suffer. The horse thief attacked more violently.

Ma Chao saw the worry of these people, so he said loudly in front of everyone: "Don't be afraid, horse thieves are also human beings, and they will die. As long as we all unite as one, no matter how many horse thieves there are, we can defeat them. "

The rest of the people were skeptical, and were very disgusted with Ma Chao, who could stand and talk without back pain.Sure enough, the owners of the two caravans began to fight back against Ma Chao. Seeing Ma Chao's young age, they uttered wild words and were very angry. They said that if Ma Chao was really capable, they would go and put down the horse thieves on both sides of the Hexi Corridor.

Horse thieves were rampant, and Ma Chao also had a headache, but unfortunately he didn't lead too many soldiers and horses, otherwise, how could he pay attention to mere horse thieves?
The rest of the caravan also booed, which directly angered Ma Chao. Ma Chao asked Peric about the horse thieves in this area, and Peric told Ma Chao everything he knew.

When Ma Chao learned that the total number of horse thieves entrenched in Heli Mountain and Nanshan was less than 1000, he suddenly laughed.

To him, these horse thieves are like a mob, and they can't even make the passing caravans look like this.

Ma Chaoyi was a bold man, he lobbied the sabermen in the caravan in public, and asked them who was willing to follow him to eliminate the horse thieves.

As a result, no one expressed willingness to go.

Ma Chao no longer had any hope for these cowards, but gathered his subordinates and prepared to set off at dawn.

During the short and stable time before dawn, Ma Chao had great doubts about the Liqian people, so he said to Yang Fu: "With the combat capabilities of the Liqian people, it is easy to wipe out these horse thieves, but why, they How can you indulge horse thieves under your noses like this?"

When Yang Fu heard Ma Chao's words, he smiled slightly, and said to Ma Chao: "My lord, in my opinion, it's not that the Liqian people are unable to eliminate the horse thieves, but they don't want to eliminate the horse thieves at all."

"Why is that?" Ma Chao asked suspiciously.

Yang Fu said: "My lord, if the Liqian people really wipe out the horse thieves and no one in this area loots the caravan, then who will hire these Liqian people to protect the safety of the caravan? In this way, Wouldn't the Liqian people not be able to make money? The Liqian people would never do such a thing of self-destruction."

"It turns out that Liqian people still have such selfishness..." Ma Chao said slowly.

Yang Fudao: "People are selfish. Liqian people live in poverty. They can't do anything except serve as mercenaries to earn money. This is the only way for them to support their families."

"Then why don't they join the army?" Ma Chao asked.

"If all the men in Liqian go to serve as soldiers, then who will protect their families and children? Moreover, many places are very repulsive to Liqian people, thinking that they are aliens, and they don't want to live with them."

After Ma Chao listened, he stopped talking. He suddenly had a plan in his heart. Since the Liqian people are so brave and good at fighting, why can't he turn the Liqian people into his subordinates?Moreover, the Liqian people's combat methods are very special. Not all of his subordinates are cavalry, but infantry are the most. How to train the infantry to be as fearsome is what he has always wanted to try.

Ma Chao saw the fighting methods of the Liqian people, and he wanted to introduce this fighting method into his troops, but only if the Liqian people were willing to teach them.

As the sky gradually brightened, Ma Chao left the Liqian people with Wang Shuang, Yang Fu and others, and embarked on the road to eliminate the horse thieves.

In order to lure the horse thieves, Ma Chao decided to use his two carts as bait, and according to the location provided by Peric, he led people towards Heli Mountain.

But in fact, as soon as Ma Chao left Liqian City, he was already targeted by horse thieves from Heli Mountain.The news that Li Guang and the others attacked Liqian City last night and returned in a complete defeat also reached Jiang Chao's ears.

Jiang Chao originally wanted to take the opportunity to clean up Li Guang's remaining troops, but who would have thought that Li Guang's subordinates could run faster than rabbits, and they would have fled far away. They couldn't catch up, so they had to stay first and prepare to attack Ma Chao and the others, Find Li Guang's old department to settle accounts.

After Ma Chao, Wang Shuang, Yang Fu and the others left Liqian City, they swaggered along the way for about ten miles, and suddenly came to a narrow intersection with high raised hills on both sides, and only the middle road could pass through. .

Just when Ma Chao and the others were halfway through, there was a sudden whistle, and hundreds of horse thieves emerged from both sides of the road. Each of the horse thieves covered their faces with a piece of cloth, only the eyes were exposed, and they held a bright handle in their hands. His saber blocked the way of Ma Chao and others.

"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, save money to buy roads!" Jiang Chao's subordinates clamored loudly.

Ma Chao looked around, and saw about a hundred horse thieves standing sporadically. Although they all held sabers in their hands, many of these horse thieves had panic in their eyes, as if for this kind of horse thief. The scene is not quite used to.

Ma Chao sneered, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted at the horse thieves: "It's just a mob, and dare to come and rob me? Just look at what this is!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao reached out and pulled out two heads from the horse's neck, one belonged to Li Guang, and the other was the head of the thief who was with Li Guang.

Among the horse thieves, Jiang Chao was taken aback when he saw the two heads. He didn't expect Li Guang, whom he hated the most, to die like this.After a brief surprise, Jiang Chao burst out laughing, and said loudly, "Well done, well done, Li Guang is a traitor, he deserves his death!"

When Ma Chao heard these words, he immediately reacted. It seems that this gang of horse thieves was not with Li Guang and the others, but should be horse thieves from Heli Mountain. Otherwise, he would never have said such a thing.

However, Li Guang's death still shocked these horse thieves. Li Guang was brave and good at fighting. He once caused the horse thieves in Heli Mountain to suffer a lot. Now that Li Guang is killed, it proves that killing Li Guang Some people are more powerful than Li Guang.

Ma Chao looked around and saw that many people were focusing on Jiang Chao, so he knew that Jiang Chao was their leader.He pointed the spear in his hand at Jiang Chao, and said immediately: "Whoever of you dares to fight me alone, if you win, I will give you all the two carts of goods behind me! If you can't beat me, be honest Really let us go and take me to see your king! I have something to say to your king!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chao immediately felt the hot eyes focus on him. He is the king of the horse thieves in Heli Mountain. At this time, the other party is openly fighting alone, so as the king, he is naturally obliged to take the lead.However, the person in front of him killed Li Guang, and his kung fu was comparable to Li Guang. Since this person can kill Li Guang, he must be able to kill him, should he give it a go?

Ma Chao took the opportunity to provoke the horse thief deliberately, and said: "I thought you were all reckless heroes, but I didn't expect that you were all greedy for life and fear of death. Do you still want to be horse thieves?"

"I'll fight to the death with you!" Jiang Chao didn't hesitate any more. This is the time when he needs to step out. If he doesn't even have the guts, it may be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the cottage in the future.

Seeing that Jiang Chao took the initiative to come out, Ma Chao cheered up and said to Jiang Chao: "Good job, come on!"

Jiang Chao clapped his horse and wielded his saber, galloped out, and slashed towards Ma Chao, but Ma Chao stood motionless on the spot, showing no intention of parrying.Seeing this, Jiang Chao was complacent, thinking that Ma Chao would either die or be injured if he slashed with the knife.

But who would have thought that when Jiang Chao's saber was about to slash at Ma Chao's body, Ma Chao suddenly hid himself in a stirrup. A cold light pierced obliquely from under the horse's belly, straight for Jiang Chao's throat.

Jiang Chao was taken aback. He never thought that Ma Chao would be so powerful. If he didn't dodge in time, he would be shot through the throat by Ma Chao, and it would be hard for him to live.

At the critical moment, Jiang Chao hastily withdrew his saber to block Ma Chao's spear, while lying tightly on the horse's back, avoiding the sudden attack of Ma Chao's spear.

However, the matter did not end. At the moment when Jiang Chao and Ma Chao's two horses crossed, Jiang Chao suddenly felt a strong and powerful arm directly holding him off the horse's back. When he reacted, He had been captured alive by Ma Chao.
