These words were a bit too exciting. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who were in Yuan Jun's camp, had their hearts as warriors burning. After all, they couldn't bear it anymore. They suddenly clamped their legs together and rode out of the battle. A silver spear was lit in the distance. Ma Chao said calmly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and I can't help you being arrogant here."
The so-called expert can tell whether there is someone as soon as he makes a move. Just by looking at Zhao Yun's one-handed riding method and the posture when swinging his spear from the opposite formation, Ma Chao already knew in his heart that the person in front of him was not weak in martial arts. He heard his name being announced. , and my heart tightened slightly.
The two spears were raised together, and the two silver shadows were as bright as flowers, just like the two sea dragons crossing the sky and the earth, changing the color of the sky and the earth, and making the sun and moon dull. The two of them fought against each other for less than three times. Even if they knew that they had encountered a rare and powerful enemy, even if they could win, it would only be a miserable victory.
But the two generals are both heroic men, so how can they be willing to admit defeat easily? They all brought their strength and martial arts to 100%, and each brought their spear skills to the extreme. The transitions between moves were smooth and smooth, without any stiffness or stagnation.
Ma Chao has a natural appearance. He grew up among the Qiang ethnic group in the northwest. He has a very heroic nature. He has always thought that no one in China is his enemy. Today, he suddenly met a first-class military commander like Zhao Yun. He is very competitive. It increased greatly, and he couldn't help but overdraw his whole body's strength. He attacked and fought with every move, and it seemed that he was about to be destroyed.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun is also brave, and he is not afraid of Ma Chao's life-threatening fighting style. Instead of avoiding his sharp edge, he goes straight up and fights hard. After more than twenty rounds.
But with a loud "Bang!", the two men shot out both guns at the same time, hitting each other's front with such force that they even forced the horses they were sitting on half a step back. Only the Guanzhong Allied Forces and the Bingzhou generals could see Terrified and frightened, everyone secretly lamented.
Compare your heart to your heart, this kind of war. If I were to go up alone, I don’t know how many rounds I could hold out for? I'm afraid that my martial arts skills are not comparable, but my morale will decline first. At this time, Ma Chao's face was flushed, but his fighting spirit was even stronger. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Zhao Yun with his marksmanship, he immediately pulled the reins and changed his tactics.
He shouted at Zhao Yun: "Come again! Let's see whose spear head is stronger?"
The two refused to give in to each other, and more than thirty rounds passed in the blink of an eye. The more exciting the fight between the two, the darker Yuan Xi's face became, and soon he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He waved to Xu Chu beside him, frowned and said, "Go and call Zhang Liao. I have something urgent to tell him!"
As for the coalition forces, General Chen Gong shook the flag in his hand and said to the princes behind him: "Everyone! The opportunity has arrived. We must fight to the death with that Yuan army! No matter what, this battle must be won!"
The soldiers and horses of both sides rushed towards each other at almost the same moment, like a flood. The flood covered the sandy position in the field in the blink of an eye. The two huge waves composed of human seas could still crush the swords. , smash the bow and arrow, smash the enemy's body, and break out of the gate! Enjoy the joy of life and death on the battlefield! But it was the prince Li Kan, holding a sword, who was suddenly killing from left and right, but he happened to meet his ally Ma Chao in the chaos of the army!
Li Kan just saw Ma Chao's bravery. He was timid and unwilling to do anything, so he stabbed and killed one of Yuan's soldiers with his hand, then turned his horse's head to fight elsewhere. Unfortunately, God did not follow his wishes, so Li Kan just turned around.
But he saw Ma Chao getting off his white horse, like a dazzling meteor, blocking his face like lightning. A pair of star-like eyes exposed a little bit of cold light, piercing Li Kan like lightning, only to He stared and trembled all over.
"What do you want to do?" Facing the indifferent Ma Chao. Even though Li Kan was a prince, he couldn't help but feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and even his speech was a little unclear.
"Hmph!" But Ma Chao suddenly let out a cold scolding from his nose, his words were as sharp as iron, and he said, "Is that arrow just a secret move of yours?"
When Li Kan heard this, he couldn't help but feel dizzy. His face was distorted with anger. He pointed at Ma Chao and said, "You fart! Which of your eyes can see the coalition of more than ten princes?" I fired a cold arrow!"
After a long time of silence like this, Ma Chao took a deep breath, slowly extinguished the anger in his heart, and then pulled the gun tip off Li Kan's forehead bit by bit.
"Li Kan, for the sake of being an ally, I will let you go today! If you let me know in the future that the arrow just now was really shot by you, I will cut you into pieces. Please remember this!"
After that, Ma Chao ignored him, turned his horse's head, and rode towards other battles to kill the generals. He only left Li Kan where he was, sweating all over as he watched Ma Chao's figure walking farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared. Within his sight.
After a while, Li Kan came back to his senses, secretly clenched his fists like water, gritted his teeth and hummed in a low voice: "Ma Chao! I, Li Kan, swear that I will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation in the future. !”
"............"
Compared with the raging battlefield, the intersection between Li Kan and Ma Chao was like a dragonfly touching water. It did not cause any ripples at all, and it would not affect the battle situation in the slightest. It was just like a flicker in the autumn wind, which appeared briefly and then gradually faded away. Far.
But Skynet is sparse and meticulous. Sometimes, in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, a small thing can be multiplied into endless shocking waves!
Just like now, the intersection between Li Kan and Ma Chao was seen by Yuan Xi who was far away on the hillside.
Although the incident was short and the distance was far away, it was difficult to hear what the two said, but Ma Chao's action of nodding Li Kan's head with a spear and threatening his life was clearly seen by Yuan Xi! Just at this moment, Yuan Xi's mind suddenly came alive! Yes he has bad ideas.
Although he didn't know why Ma Chao threatened his allies with a gun, Yuan Xi could conclude one thing based on that scene just now!
The princes in Guanzhong are not aligned, and not only are they not aligned, there must be gaps among them!
If this is indeed the case, then the plan you made at the beginning will definitely succeed as long as you implement it properly!
After waving to Zhang Liao who had not yet moved, Yuan Xikai asked him: "Have Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry participated in the war?"
Zhang Liao has been paying attention to the current situation on the battlefield. After hearing this, he shook his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, the general has been surveying the battle situation on the battlefield. The Xianden camp under his command has not moved yet! What is waiting is the powerful northwest When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry comes out, it’s time to test its skills!”
The more than a thousand men under Zhang Liao who had arrived at the camp first were temporarily borrowed by Yuan Xi from Ju Yi.
Yuan Xi nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "Has Zhao Yun's Xiaoqi battalion gone into battle?"
"According to the order of the lord, the Xiaoqi battalion is also stationed in the rear. It will only follow the order after the Xiliang cavalry goes out to fight!"
Gently tapping the horse's head as he sat down, Yuan Xi thought carefully for a moment, and then said word for word: "Wenyuan, you send someone to tell Zhao Yun that if the Xiliang cavalry goes out to fight later, the Xiaoqi camp will You can’t leave either. You still have a thousand soldiers who have already arrived at the camp. There is no need to fight today. They should all retreat back to the camp. If anyone dares to disrespect the general’s orders and go into battle rashly, he will be killed on the spot!”
Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Yuan Xi who was serious about his matter and said hurriedly: "Lord! No! The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a brave journey to the northwest. Its charge is unstoppable! If you don't get to the camp first, If the Xiaoqi battalion fights against it, our army will definitely be defeated!"
Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "If you lose, just lose! What I want is to win the battle, but I can't lose at the hands of others! I can only lose to Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry! I heard you !"
After saying that, Yuan Xi glanced at Zhang Liao, who was full of astonishment, and continued: "Send my order to the whole army to beat the drums and march in! Before the Xiliang cavalry goes out to fight, they must give me a severe blow to the enemy. There must be no chance of any harm." I'm soft-hearted, but if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry goes into battle, I'll call you gold immediately. Don't have a head-on conflict with them. You'll only lose but not win! Just order it."
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what kind of strategy Yuan Xi was playing. On the one hand, he wanted to defeat the coalition of princes, but on the other hand, he could only lose to the Xiliang cavalry?
Zhang Liao has been reading military books for a long time and is well versed in ancient and modern battle formations, but he has never heard of any military strategist who plays like Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How the battle is fought is entirely under his control. He, Zhang Liao, can only obey orders.
A fierce battle between the two sides lasted for nearly half an hour. Yuan Jun became more and more courageous as he fought out of anger. On the other hand, the Guanzhong Allied Forces became more and more sluggish and retreated steadily, showing signs of defeat.
By this time, any capable general would know that the Guanzhong Army was not far from being defeated.
“Whoosh——!”
At this time, about a few miles away from the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, a whistle arrow with a sad and angry red color went straight up the blue clouds, sending a loud signal in the mid-air in the distance.
Xu Chu, who had been waiting by Yuan Xi's side, was suffocated when he heard the sound. He squinted his eyes and turned his head to look into the distance where the arrow sounded. He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Here we come!"
Following Xu Chu's words, he saw about a thousand black cavalry lined up in a horizontal row a few miles away to the west, slowly moving towards the center of the battlefield.
"Is this the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" Zhang Liao looked at this world-famous force with deep thoughts, and his words revealed his excitement: "My lord! I am absolutely confident that I will cooperate with the Xiaoqi Battalion in the final camp." Defeat this bloodthirsty cavalry! I hope my lord will agree and allow us to fight."
Yuan Xi looked coldly at the cavalry in the distance, which was like a giant steel dragon. His lips moved slightly, as if they were loose, but in the end he shook his head and said: "No! You are not allowed to go to war. I have ordered the three armies to only We must lose but not win. When we see the Xiliang cavalry coming, all of them will retreat for me! Anyone who runs too slowly will be punished by military law."
A thousand Xiliang cavalry, a thousand brave heavy cavalry, under the leadership of Nan'an Pangde, a fierce general under Ma Chao's tent, formed a solid line with horses' hooves as fast as drums and powerful waves. The long snake advanced slowly and unhurriedly towards the battlefield between the two sides.
Although the enemy army has not yet charged, the unique powerful momentum of the heavy cavalry and the roar of the hoofs of thousands of Liangzhou horses striking the ground are like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, piercing deeply into the heart. In the hearts of everyone in the room.
Even though Zhang Liao had always considered himself a good general and capable, now facing the most powerful heavy cavalry in the world, his heart in his chest could not help but begin to beat faster, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead like rain like silk.
Yuan Xi glanced at Zhang Liao indifferently, with a deep meaning in his eyes, and said quietly: "General Zhang, speaking from my heart, in the face of this kind of fierce and fierce heavy cavalry, we just rely on getting to the camp first. After defeating them with the Xiaoqi Battalion, do you think our losses will be small?"
For a time, the thoughts in Zhang Liao's mind went back and forth, and he roughly conceived several plans in his mind, which could be called mature combat plans. However, after comparing the two, he was still overturned and rejected one by one.
In the end, Zhang Liao dejectedly discovered that no matter how he arranged his troops, how he set up his formation, or how he used his own advantages, the possibility of defeating the Xiliang cavalry and maintaining his vitality was very slim.
If you want to win against this heavy cavalry head-on, you will only end up with a miserable victory.
Seeing Zhang Liao lowering his head and saying nothing, Yuan Xi did not ask further questions. He gently raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Stop thinking blindly. Instruct the three armies to retreat with gold."
"promise......"
Although he had a standard position for the war in his mind, Zhang Liao was still a little doubtful at this moment and said: "But my lord, the enemy Xiliang army is already preparing to charge. At this time, if Ming Jin withdraws his troops, the Xiliang cavalry will cover up and attack our army." Wouldn’t the loss be greater after death?”
Hearing this, Yuan Xi turned his head and glanced at the Guanzhong Allied Forces who were fighting fiercely with his own side. A playful smile appeared in his eyes. Then just wait, it is not certain who will win.
"Don't worry, I have a way. At the critical moment, someone will stand up and block the knife for us!"
"Block the knife? Who?"
"Don't leak the secret. You will suddenly realize it after a while."
*******************
"kill!"
Finally, Pang De, who was in the distance, raised his sword high and waved an order. When he saw a thousand Xiliang cavalry, he immediately began to gallop. The majestic formation of a long snake seemed to be connected with the sky and the earth, and was crushed to pieces. All the power is rolling towards the battlefield ahead.
Almost at the same moment when the Xiliang cavalry attacked, Yuan Xi also drew the sword from his waist and issued instructions to the three armies. "withdraw!"
"Ming Jin! Ming Jin! Hurry up and withdraw the whole army to the camp! As you run, throw down all the baggage, helmets, armor, and weapons in your hands!" Yuan Xi's order was carried out by the herald.
"promise!"
Not long after, the sound of gold ringing was heard from the rear of Yuan's army. After receiving the military order, the generals began to call on their soldiers to retreat quickly to the rear! Just for a moment, Yuan Jun, who had the advantage on the battlefield just now, ran towards the rear camp and evacuated like a lost dog!
What's even more interesting is that these Yuan Jun soldiers took off their gear, clothes, and helmets as they ran, throwing them onto the grass. In an instant, they spread all over the battlefield where blood and corpses had remained just now. !
Everywhere he looked, Yuan Jun's baggage, clothing, flags and other military supplies were everywhere.
On the other hand, the Guanzhong Allied Forces were dumbfounded...
Why did Yuan Jun, who had always been in the upper hand, suddenly turn around and suddenly withdraw? Not only did he run very fast, he also left luggage and clothes all over the floor! ?
What's going on?
Guan Zhongjun looked at the huge treasure house here, and everyone felt a little stupid.
