Sun Ce refused to accept it! If it weren't for the inferiority of his cavalry's horses, how could he have lost to a weakling like Ma Chao!
Pang De didn't move, and neither did Huang Gai. Sun Ce withdrew with his own strength. Sun Ce not only withdrew by himself, but also covered the retreat of his cavalry with more than half of the casualties. This is the shameless thing about being physically fit. After being shot by Ma Chao, he also chopped down hundreds of Xiliang Huqi.
Sun Ce is one year older than Ma Chao. Don't underestimate this year difference. For this kind of monster that does not grow according to common sense, a year's difference is a year's difference. If Ma Chao and Sun Ce were both twenty years old, Sun Ce would never dare to be so pretentious today.
Ma Chao was in a fighting mood and was about to break through Sun Ce's army formation in front of him. But Ma Chao did not wait for Pang De's army. Instead, he waited for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
In today's encounter, in fact, the biggest casualty to Sun Ce's army was not caused by Ma Chao, but the two salvos fired by Xiliang Hu Qi after they deployed. Ma Dai and the right wing each used 3,000 Hu cavalry to harass the left and right wings of the opponent's formation twice. Just by going out and coming back, they could not take away more than 700 Sun Ce sergeants.
"Why withdraw your troops? I was about to kill that Sun Bofu!" Ma Chao felt naturally uncomfortable with Sun Ce. This was the first time Ma Chao wanted to kill Sun Ce after seeing him.
"Kill Sun Bofu, and then we will be trapped here!" This is Yuan Shu's territory, and the army only carries seven days of food and grass with them. For the cavalry unit, food and grass come first and ordnance comes second. The reason why Lu Bu only allocated food and grass to his adopted son Ma Chao for seven days was because after seven days Lu Bu would arrive in person. Rather than attacking the city, Ma Chao used the lives of the Xiliang Hu cavalry to test Yuan Shu's troop distribution and tactical configuration; as for ordnance, grain and grass accounted for a certain weight, and the same was true for ordnance. Even if the Xiliang Huqi are equipped with light cavalry, thirty iron arrows are quite heavy.
Once the horse power is excessively consumed and the opponent is not defeated, waiting for Ma Chao will result in a huge consumption of military rations by the war horses. Sun Ce is a difficult opponent. To be precise, the military formation deployed by veteran Huang Gai is like an iron barrel. Because it was an encounter, the Xiliang Huqi quickly took advantage of the surprise attack. If they wanted to cause substantial damage to Sun Ce's army, it was no longer possible to rely only on bows and arrows.
Pound was unequivocal in the army, especially when Ma Chao was dazzled by the seemingly "easy" victory in front of him: "If the lord wants to punish Pound's crime, Pound has nothing to say. But everything will wait until this battle is over." The Liangzhou cavalry must leave some seeds. My Lord, I will immediately lead the six thousand cavalry commanded by Generals Pang Rou and Ma Dai and return to Jiujiang. If we encounter Yuan Shu's reinforcements on the road, we must defeat them all no matter what the cost!"
Ma Chao turned around and got on his horse without even asking Pound about his arrangements. Because Pang De would personally lead his troops and pin Sun Ce's army in place for at least half a day.
This place is only a hundred miles away from Jiujiang. From the beginning, Pound never supported Ma Chao's shocking plan to raid Yuan Shu's base camp, Lujiang County. From the beginning, Pound had the purpose of going deep into the enemy's hinterland to use himself as bait. Even if they don't encounter Sun Ce, they will encounter Yuan Shu's other reinforcements from Jiujiang County. If the reinforcements that come are weak, they will be eaten in one bite; if the reinforcements that come are strong, like Sun Ce's troops today...
At this time, Ma Chao's role is revealed. As the main general, Ma Chao can give Xiliang Huqi wolf the same super endurance and the wolf's super stealth. There was no sound when Ma Chao's troops from Xiliang Hu rode in. Ma Chao had never activated this military soul ability before, so Sun Ce could feel the earthquake trembling ten miles away. This time Ma Chao disappeared from Sun Ce's sight and decisively activated his military spirit.
Ma Chao was very unhappy, Ma Chao wanted to be mean to others. He will become Lu Bu's vanguard general. How could it be possible without two brushes? This silent Xiliang Huqi is definitely the most terrifying cavalry in the world. No enemy wants to see a ghost cavalry force suddenly appearing thousands of meters away from their sight. It was no longer a shock, but a loss of life in the next second.
Just like Sun Ce didn't expect to encounter Xiliang Huqi, he devoted all the strength of the city to support the Jiujiang County defenders, but he didn't expect that the opponent would suddenly appear in front of him. You can think of things like killing the carbine. Yuan Shu has nothing but money, so the troops Yuan Shu uses to defend the city are all heavy shields. Once deployed, the cavalry cannot break through in a short time. But why did you suddenly appear in front of me, and you didn't give anyone a chance to shield...
Yuan Shu first received the news that Sun Ce would go north to Jiujiang within three days, and then sent four of his generals from Lujiang to garrison Jiujiang County. Logically speaking, the Jiujiang defenders were Yuan Shu's troops. Could it be that they couldn't even defend the city for a day?
As a result, I really couldn’t hold on. Ma Chao's retaliation killed not only the Jiujiang reinforcements, but also Hefei County, the seat of Jiujiang County. At this time, we knew how wise Pang De's choice was, not to continue to waste weapons, bows and arrows on Sun Ce's army. In the next few days, Xiliang Huqi will basically rely on his bows and arrows to defend Hefei!
Pang De was just pestering Sun Ce's army. Ten thousand Xiliang Huqi were simply not something Sun Ce could handle. Sun Ce wanted to increase the speed of his march, and he also asked Xiliang Hu Qi's bows and arrows if they would answer. Pang De didn't pursue killing, he just kept disgusting Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was disgusted to death. By the time Sun Ce reached Jiujiang County, a hundred miles away, others had already captured the core area of Jiujiang County. There isn't much food and grass inside, but the weapons for defending the city are definitely enough.
"Ma Chao, get out and die!"
"How dare your defeated generals act so arrogantly!"
Jin Ma Chao fought against the little overlord Sun Ce. Yesterday, Ma Chao fought Ma Chao one after another and defeated Jiujiang County, which undoubtedly consumed a lot of internal energy. However, Ma Chao's most serious consumption is his mind, and the military spirit is mainly driven by his mind. If his mind had not truly reached the level of a top military general, Ma Chao would have collapsed on the spot. Sun Ce was not much better either. During the day, he was stabbed by Ma Chao and suffered a lot of frostbite in his flesh and blood meridians. At night, he was shamelessly attacked by Pang De. . Today it was another half-day forced march to the gates of Hefei.
However, although both people are mentally exhausted, they have their own ways of stimulating their own potential:
When Sun Ce thought that Ma Chao was Lu Bu's adopted son, the evil spirit of the White Tiger could not help but surge up endlessly. Ma Chao was simply risking his life. In order to one day be able to avenge his father Ma Teng, Ma Chao risked his life every time he fought. .
One is the Overlord Spear, the other is the Dragon Cavalry Spear, one is sitting down to fly yellow, and the other is sitting down to lion white. This fight lasted half a day until nightfall. The two seemed to be deadlocked, but Ma Chao had lost until today. At the end of the fight, Sun Ce almost knocked his weapon away, and Sun Ce also left a hole in his body.
Body, the problem lies with Ma Chao's body. Both Ma Chao and Sun Ce consumed a lot of their minds and inner energy today, but Ma Chao failed to surpass Sun Ce in the area of inner energy that he is good at. Tomorrow, once he enters the area where Sun Ce is best at physical...
At dawn, Ma Chao and Sun Ce are about to start their fateful third battle!
"Ma Chao, died from this gun today!" Sun Ce raised the Overlord Spear in his hand, his mind and energy were at the bottom, but the same was true for Ma Chao on the opposite side, he would definitely kill Ma Chao today.
Ma Chao didn't have to be like this, but this is what Ma Chao is. If he quits today, he will no longer be Ma Chao: "It's up to you!!!"
