In the valley, the two armies were in front of the formation.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Since we are going to fight, how about adding a bonus?"
Ma Chao asked: "What lottery do you want?"
"The fact that you and I are of similar age doesn't mean we're taking advantage. How about we just bet on winning or losing? If I win, you have to stay with me for a year. If I lose, it's up to you."
Ma Chao was confident that his marksmanship was invincible. Since his debut, he had never met anyone who could defeat his marksmanship. He said confidently: "Humph! You are quite confident. Okay, I will learn from you today!"
"good."
Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu looked at each other in the air, their eyes fixed on each other, and the air between their gazes seemed to be causing sparks. They held their breaths and raised their spirits, both of them clenched the spears in their hands.
Zhang Xiu holds a gold gun with a tiger head in his hand. The gun body is made of cold iron and is one foot by three feet long. The head of the gun is in the shape of a black gold tiger head. The tiger's mouth swallows the blade. The gun body is gold-plated and extremely sharp.
Ma Chao holds the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear, which is made of fine iron. The spear body is one foot and six feet long. The spear head is sharp and can break gold. The spear body is flexible and highly maneuverable. Ma Chao has mastered it in his hands.
"drive!"
The two of them rode away almost at the same time.
Zhang Xiu focused his attention, adjusted his breathing steadily, and held a spear in his hand to kill Ma Chao who was charging towards him. Likewise, Ma Chao stood ready, gripped his spear and went to kill him.
Two horses greet each other.
Ma Chao took the lead in attacking.
As the saying goes: A stick can sweep a large area, and a gun can pick out a line. An expert can tell if there is anything there as soon as he makes a move.
The spear is like a swimming dragon, extremely flexible, the attack is like an arrow taking off its string, it moves swiftly along a line, swallows and spits in an instant, and its power is like thunder and lightning, fast and fierce.
The tip of the spear cut through the air and made a sharp sound, piercing Zhang Xiu's face. A strong wind came towards him, causing his cheeks to feel painful and cold.
Zhang Xiu was shocked: "Ma Chao is brave and brave, and he truly deserves his reputation!"
But Zhang Xiu is not a vegetarian either. The spears can be stabbed, stabbed, tart, attacked, entangled, circled, blocked, taken, pounced, pointed, poked, danced, etc. Among them, blocked, taken, and thrusted are the main ones.
The opponent's gun came in a straight line, Zhang Xiu's gun tip danced, and while he lifted the gun tip, his body leaned back slightly.
Sure enough, Ma Chao immediately shook his gun. When the weapons collided, he used the force of the weapons to shake the gun in a small circle and got in. Zhang Xiu leaned back and dodged as expected. The elasticity of the gun barrel twitched, and the gun head rushed towards Zhang Xiu's neck and narrowly missed it.
When the move failed, Ma Chao changed from stabbing to dancing, dancing with countless guns and flowers that were difficult to distinguish between real and fake and attacked Zhang Xiu.
But in terms of dancing flowers, no one except Zhao Yun can match his unique skill "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".
Zhang Xiu straightened his back and hit Ma Chao's spear point by point with his spear point, which was steady, accurate and hard, forcing Ma Chao to fire back to defend himself.
"The Spear King of the North is so powerful!"
His own marksmanship was actually broken by Zhang Xiu and disrupted his rhythm. Ma Chao was secretly shocked and immediately picked a gun to block him.
I haven't seen a real gun, I'm addicted to other weapons,
Once you see a real gun, everything becomes child's play!
The two sides launched a fierce and dazzling display of marksmanship. On horseback, the two of them were going back and forth. They were both in danger but could not help each other.
Since Zhang Xiu dared to bet with Ma Chao, he naturally had his back-up. The two started a huge battle of attrition, and the two of them were steaming and sweating profusely.
Wei Yan, Hu Che'er and Li Tong in the rear had never seen Zhang Xiu take action before, so today was an eye-opener.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu had such high attainments in martial arts.
Wei Yan knew that he could not defeat Ma Chao, but Zhang Xiu was able to fight on a par with Ma Chao, which showed that Zhang Xiu was stronger than him.
Not only Wei Yan and the others were surprised, Ma Chao's men were also surprised.
Pang De was familiar with the level of Ma Chao's martial arts, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be able to fight on an equal footing with Ma Chao; everyone's evaluation of Zhang Xiu improved to another level.
At war.
Zhang Xiu felt that he was almost exhausted, and secretly stepped on something under his feet. This thing was the "saddle", a sharp cavalry weapon that Zhang Xiu prepared to use against the Xiliang cavalry and the northern Huns.
He stepped on the saddle and pedaled hard with both feet. In the midst of the gunfire, Zhang Xiu suddenly thrust his gun forward and stabbed Ma Chao's neck quickly and quickly.
Ma Chao's reaction was also very quick. He was slightly startled in his eyes. He was about to deflect the gun, but Zhang Xiu gained strength and held the gun firmly with both arms so that the opponent could not deflect it. The tip of the gun opened the opponent's gun. Stabbed it.
Ma Chao's shocked pupils dilated rapidly, watching the tip of the gun expand infinitely in his eyes, and finally stopped within an inch of the tip of his nose.
In front of him is the enlarged tiger head swallowing the blade of the spear.
The tip of the spear flashed with cold light, cold and sharp.
Ma Chao was stunned.
There was silence.
Pang De swallowed, dumbfounded.
Wei Yan, Hu Che'er and Li Tong stared at this scene in disbelief.
They expected the result to be a tie, but they did not expect Zhang Xiu to defeat Ma Chao.
Pang De and others had never seen or thought that Ma Chao would be defeated.
This result cannot be accepted for a while.
Both sides were stunned.
Ma Chao stared blankly at the tip of the spear that exuded cold air. The tip of the spear was particularly ferocious.
He realized in disbelief: "I have failed!"
Zhang Xiu put away his gun with a smile and said nothing, waiting for Ma Chao to come to his senses.
"I...I lost!" Ma Chao said this with difficulty.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Can Meng Qi abide by the bet?"
After coming back to his senses, Ma Chao turned to Pang De without hesitation and said: "Ling Ming, go back and tell Aweng that today I lost to Xuanhou and will follow him on the expedition for a year."
"General?" Pound was a little embarrassed.
Ma Chao said: "Don't make it difficult for me. Tell my father the truth. Just say that I lost the battle in a bet."
"Here!"
Pang De accepted the order, glanced at Zhang Xiu again, drew his horse and led his army back.
Ma Chao dismounted and saluted Zhang Xiu respectfully: "Xuanhou, Chao is defeated today. I am willing to abide by the one-year agreement, but I will never change my mind as long as I am driven."
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, got off his horse, supported Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qizhen is a man of faith. Follow me to Xiaoguan first."
Everyone got on their horses and headed towards Xiaoguan.
Xiao Guan.
Seeing Hu Ji's tragic death in battle, Zhang Xiu felt like his heart was cut by a knife.
Ma Chao next to him blushed.
Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Hu Ji followed me in Nanyang and raised troops to conquer the world, but unexpectedly he died at the hands of Cheng Yu. This hatred is deeply regrettable."
Ma Chao glanced at Zhang Xiu in surprise.
Although he did not end Hu Ji's life himself, he gave him a fatal blow. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu took this grudge against Cheng Yu instead of blaming himself.
This made him a little ashamed.
So he said: "Xuanhou, I am the cause of Hu Ji's death. Please Xuanhou punish him!"
Wei Yan, Hu Cheer and Li Tong also believed that Ma Chao was the culprit and looked at Ma Chao angrily.
Zhang Xiu shook his head: "If it weren't for Cheng Yu's plan, how would you have killed the enemy? You are just the gun that kills people, and the person who uses the gun is the real murderer."
This Cheng Yu was already a thorn in Zhang Xiu's side and a thorn in his flesh.
"Put away General Hu's body. He is a hero and a role model for our army. He should be treated with the most solemn funeral. I will personally keep vigil for General Hu."
If it hadn't been for Hu Ji's desperate effort, the safety of the entire Zhang Xiu Army would have been in danger.
He wanted to give Hu Ji the highest-level funeral to express his gratitude for what he had done, and to make the entire army regard him as an example.
