Chapter 297: Jin Ma Chao defeated Zhang He in both matches

The horse thief on the opposite side was fascinated. When he woke up, the mute had already rushed into the horse thief team alone, just like a wolves entering the flock of sheep. When the horse thief was rushed left and right, the horse thief was knocked down one after another. In less than a moment, the mute killed the horse thief team and then broke the horse back, the horse thief had already dispersed as birds and beasts.

Xu Shao rode his horse forward in fear and said to the mute: "Hey, aren't you mute?"

The mute said, "You are the mute."

Xu Shao suddenly said, "Oh, I seem to have seen you somewhere!"

The mute whispered, "You must have remembered it wrong."

"It's not wrong, it's definitely not wrong." Xu Shao's eyebrows were pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "I remember, you are the commander of Gongsun Zan's white horse, Zhao Yun! When the 18th Route Alliance Army attacked Dong Zhuo, I saw you in front of Gongsun Zan's tent!"

When the Eighteenth Route Alliance Army attacked Dong Zhuo, Xu Chu and Guo Tu followed Ma Teng to join the coalition. At that time, Xu Shao was obeying the order in front of Xu Chu's tent, and Zhao Yun was also a general of Gongsun Zan, and he had assisted Ma Teng's army in search of Cao Cao. Xu Shao had a few encounters with Zhao Yun, so he vaguely remembered it.

When Ma Zheng just rescued Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was seriously injured and dying, and his image changed drastically, so Xu Shao could not remember it. But just now, Zhao Yun showed his might and raised his hand to beat hundreds of horse thieves to the point of falling water. Xu Shao suddenly remembered that the white horse and silver spear that shot Lu Bu back with an arrow in front of Hulao Pass was coming.

The mute's face changed slightly. When he turned around, he happened to see Ma Zheng coming up with excitement. He stepped forward to hold Ma Zheng's reins and said calmly: "That was many years ago. Now I am the young master's guard."

Xu Shao said: "Haha, no wonder you are so powerful. It turns out that you are really Zhao Yun! With your protection, I am afraid that no one in the world can hurt him half a hair."

Xihe County, Zishi.

Zhang Jizheng led the Bingzhou army to flee south all over the mountains. The official road was already in chaos. Several carriages loaded with gold, silver and fine softness fell across the center of the official road, and the entire road was cut off. The subsequent vehicles and cavalry were unable to pass through, so he had to circumvent the wilderness on both sides of the official road. As a result, many vehicles were trapped in the mud and could not extricate themselves.

General Lei Xu came to Zhang Ji and said anxiously: "General, it's not a solution to leave like this. Before he arrived in Hedong, he should be caught up by the Hebei army."

"Report~~" As soon as Lei Xu finished speaking, a fast horse galloped towards him in the direction of the way, shouting loudly, "General, Hebei cavalry were found ten miles away from the north!"

"Ah!?" Zhang Ji was shocked, a trace of fleshy pain flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let Zhang Xiu lead three thousand light cavalry to the north to intercept the pursuers, and then order the entire army to throw away all the baggage vehicles and go south with light equipment!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Xiu and the generals responded loudly and took the orders and left.

Ten miles north of the Zi family, Zhang He was leading 5,000 Hebei light cavalry to move south quickly.

Zhang He believed that the defeated enemy should not pursue the enemy. Once the Bingzhou army was forced into an urgent need, he would probably turn around and bite the Hebei army, which would be more than worth the loss. After all, the Bingzhou army was not a mob! Most of the 30,000 Bingzhou army were old subordinates in Liangzhou who had followed Zhang Ji for many years. They were fierce and tenacious, and still very combat-oriented.

However, since it was Yuan Shao's military order, Zhang He could only implement it.

"Report~~" When Zhang He was driving his horse forward, a fast horse suddenly galloped back in front and shouted loudly, "General, three cavalrymen were found in front, with two or three thousand cavalry each, approaching our army from the southeast, southwest and southeast directions! Judging from the flags raised by the opponent, the cavalry in the south direction should be the Bingzhou army, while the cavalry in the southwest and southeast directions should be the Liangzhou army!"

"Liangzhou Army? It's coming so fast!" Zhang He's expression darkened and shouted to the personal soldiers behind him, "I'll order the entire army to form a formation on the spot to prepare for the fight!"

"Abide by the order!"

The personal soldiers took the order and left.

The Hebei cavalry that was surging south quickly began to slow down, then slowly spread to their wings, setting up a formation on the empty snowfield. Almost the Hebei cavalry had just completed the formation. There were black cavalry appearing in the south, southeast and southwest at the same time. The three cavalry were like rolling iron streams, advancing together, crushing towards the Hebei cavalry.

These three cavalrymen were the Bingzhou Light Cavalry led by Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, and Liangzhou Iron Cavalry led by Xu Chu.

Zhang Ji followed Ma Yue and decided to retreat from Bingzhou to Hedong. Ma Yue then ordered Ma Chao. Xu Chu each led two thousand iron cavalry to rescue from Hedong to the northeast. The Ma Butcher and Jia Dushi's grasp of the timing and time can be said to have reached an amazing state. Ma Chao and Xu Chu's two cavalrymen arrived just before Zhang He caught up with Bingzhou army.

Seeing that the Hebei cavalry was already ready, the three cavalry rushing north began to slow down. When the two armies were still a thousand steps apart, Ma Chao, Xu Chu and Zhang Xiu raised their right arms at the same time. The cavalry slowly advancing behind them immediately stopped their horses and stopped, and then slowly spread to their wings.

Cavalry is different from infantry.

The thicker and denser the formation of an infantry is, the stronger its attack and defense power will be.

But this is not the case for cavalry. If cavalry is arranged in thick and dense formations to charge, it is basically equivalent to suicide! Cavalry charges generally spread to the two wings as much as possible, with only a few rows in front and back depths, or even one row! Only in special circumstances will cavalry charge in dense formations.

For example, when the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is projecting a gun or preparing to ride and shoot and suppress, they will use dense formations to charge.

The two armies were in a round formation, Han Juzi slapped his horse out of the formation, danced his sword and shouted: "Han Juzi is here in Hejian, who dares to fight?"

Xu Chu was about to take the horse out of the formation, but suddenly he saw a horse that had already sped out of the way. He turned his head and saw that it was Ma Chao.

"Ma Chao of Xiliang is here!" Ma Chao turned the Tianlang spear horizontally, pointed at Han Juzi from a distance and shouted, "The thief comes and dies!"

Han Juzi was furious and urged the horse to take Ma Chao straight. Ma Chao also rode his horse to greet him. The horse's hooves churned and the snow splashed. In an instant, the two horses intersected. Han Juzi raised the long sword above the top and before he could cut it down, Ma Chao's Tianlang spear had already pierced out like lightning. The cold spear tip ruthlessly pierced Han Juzi's throat. The sharp and wide gun blade cut off Han Juzi's neck, and a head suddenly flew up in the air.

"Puff~~"

Blood gushed out from Han Juzi's broken neck like blood. The galloping war horse ran forward with its headless corpse for dozens of steps before falling off the horse and fell on the cold snow. Ma Chao poked Han Juzi's bloody head with his gun, and rode back and forth in front of the two armies, roaring towards the sky, showing off his power to show off his power.

In front of the Hebei formation, Zhang He was furious, jumped out of his horse with his gun, and shouted sternly: "Ma Chao should not be arrogant, Zhang He is here in Hejian, come here!"

"Zhang He!?"

Ma Chao's slender and strong body suddenly trembled slightly, and slowly turned around. His cold eyes were as bright as a wolf and stared at Zhang He fiercely. In a flash, Ma Chao's black eyes had turned red! Zhang He!?Ma Teng's death was due to Gongsun Zan's betrayal, but Zhang He was the one who killed Ma Teng!

"Zhang He!" Ma Chao raised his gun and snatched the sky, shouting, "Did my father die at your hands in the battle in the Yunzhong that year?"

"That's right!" Zhang He raised his gun and responded, "Today I will send you to hell and reunite your father and son!"

"Aoah~~"

Ma Chao howled to the sky, urging the sweaty and bloody horse under his crotch to force Zhang He like a whirlwind. The two horses intersected in lightning and fire. Zhang He's heavy iron spear and Ma Chao's Tianlang spear hit each other heavily, making a suffocating sound of gold and iron. Zhang He only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, his chest felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer, and his arms were even more numb and numb, and he couldn't feel tired!

Zhang He was shocked and thought to himself that Ma Chao, the Jin Jin of Xiliang, was indeed well-known! He was much more powerful than his Ma Teng!

When Zhang He was secretly frightened, Ma Chao broke his horse and killed him again. The Tianlang spear came out of the cave like a poisonous snake and stabbed him fiercely at Zhang He's throat. Zhang He was energetic and raised his gun to hold it. With a bang, the wild power rolled back like a tide. Zhang He could no longer hold the iron spear in his hand. With a loose finger, the heavy iron spear had already flew up in the air.

The powerful general Zhang He in Hejian was beaten by Ma Chao to get his weapons away after less than two rounds!

Seeing Ma Chao's power, the Liang army soldiers cheered like the sky collapsed and the earth broke. The tiger crazy Xu Chu was also surprised to see it, thinking when did Ma Chao become so powerful? With Ma Chao's current strength, even if he and Lao Dian work together, he may not be able to win firmly.

In fact, since the shocking battle with Lu Bu, Ma Chao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, surpassing Dian Wei and Xu Chu!

The strength of a military general is determined by three factors, namely martial arts, physiques and confidence!

Among them, physical constitution is innate conditions, and acquired practice and effort cannot change a person's physical constitution.

Therefore, most people cannot become military generals, but can only be a soldier. Only those with extraordinary talents and outstanding strength can become military generals.

A person with strong physique can become a military general, but may not necessarily become a powerful general. Only with strong physique and superb martial arts can he be called a real powerful general.

There were many powerful generals in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, as many as the sand of the Ganges River, but their strength was different. The most important factor in determining the strength of the powerful general was self-confidence! The more powerful generals fell under his command, the stronger the self-confidence of the powerful generals would be and the stronger his strength would be!

Like Ma Chao defeated Lu Bu, who was claimed to be invincible at the time, his self-confidence would be greatly increased and his strength would also improve by leaps and bounds. So today, Ma Chao was eager to take revenge, and it was expected that he would pick Zhang He's spear within two rounds and kill him and escape.

"drink!"

Ma Chao knocked Zhang He's iron spear with one shot, shouted and shot back, and then stabbed Zhang He's throat. The shot was accurate and fierce. The two were close together. Zhang He couldn't avoid it and had to instinctively shrink his head. With a light sound, Zhang He's helmet had been picked up by Ma Chao's Tianlang spear, and his hair was dispersed in an instant, confusing Zhang He's eyes.

Zhang He was both brave and rushed to the front line.

"Don't leave, leave your life!"

Ma Chao stopped his horse and turned around and chased him relentlessly.

Zhang He did not dare to look back, so he just drove away from the horse. When he was fleeing in panic, two powerful generals suddenly appeared in the Hebei formation, and they rode their guns and rode towards Ma Chao, shouting in unison: "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang is here in Dongping, don't hurt my general!"

Seeing this, Zhang He was slightly calmer and hurriedly walked around Lu Kuang. Lu Xiang and his brothers fled back to their formation.

Seeing that Zhang He was about to hide in the army, Ma Chao was anxious, so he shot Lu Kuang and dropped his horse with one shot, and then used his right hand to snatch the spear from Lu Xiang's hand. Poor Lu Xiang was also a powerful general in the Hebei army, but he was led backwards by Ma Chao's robbery, breaking his neck bone and dying.

"Go!"

Ma Chao snatched Lu Xiang's spear and shouted loudly at Zhang He's vest.

Zhang He heard the sound of breaking through the air behind his head, and was shocked in his heart. He rolled off his saddle and fell into dust. Ma Chao was in a desperate attempt to kill, stabbed Zhang He's mount under his crotch. The mount neighed violently, struggled to run forward two steps and then fell to the ground. When Ma Chao wanted to chase him again, Zhang He had been rescued by his personal soldiers and retreated into the thousands of troops.

Ma Chao was reluctant to leave, so he rushed into the Hebei army alone to kill Zhang He.

Xu Chu was afraid that Ma Chao would make a mistake, so he rushed to 4,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry to come over like a mountain of storm. Zhang Xiu came back from the shock and led two thousand Bingzhou Light Cavalry to take advantage of the situation to block the killing. Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Light Cavalry jointly attacked and attacked the few with the crowd. In addition, the Hebei cavalry was depressed because of the defeat of the main general and was immediately defeated.

Jinyang and Zhang Ji's official residence have now become Yuan Shao's residence.

When Yuan Shao was discussing matters with Tian Feng and others in the hall, a small school suddenly came in and reported, "General, the big thing is not good."

Yuan Shao frowned and shouted, "What's wrong?"

The little school said: "General Zhang He's vanguard, the vanguard of the Qing Cavalry, was attacked by the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Light Cavalry. Although General Zhang He fought hard to fight to the death, it was difficult to defeat the situation. General Han Juzi, General Lu Kuang, and General Lu Xiang were all killed by Ma Chao, the vicious general of Xiliang. General Zhang He was also injured by Ma Chao. Five thousand light cavalry left to more than two thousand cavalry fled back to Pingtao."

"ah?"

Yuan Shao was suddenly surprised and stood up suddenly.

Tian Feng's face darkened and he asked the school anxiously: "Did the Bingzhou coalition forces have taken advantage of the victory?"

The little school road: "The two armies set foot on the camp thirty miles away from Pingtao, but did not continue to go north."

Tian Feng asked again: "Have you ever discovered a brigade of Liang army?"

The school shook his head and said, "I haven't discovered it."

"Hu~" Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, holding his forehead with his hands, "It's okay."

"Damn it! The butcher of horse dared to attack our vanguard and smuggle our army's spirit!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, "Come, I will pass on this general's order and immediately summon all the troops to Pingtao, and I will definitely eliminate these two groups of Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Light Cavalry to revitalize our Hebei military power."

Tian Feng rushed forward and stopped him, "Lord, no."

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Why?"

Tian Feng said: "Tian Yu, the prefect of Youbeiping, just condemned the envoy, and Pei Yuanshao's tribe in the north of the Mobei Province had already flattened the 93rd tribes of Mahan (one of the three Korean tribes, on the Korean Peninsula, and the ancestor of Goryeo Bangzi). Now he is leading a large group of cavalry to cross Liaodong, and the west of Liaoning is approaching Yubeiping and Yuyang."

"So what?" Yuan Shao said disapprovingly, "Pei Yuanshao may just take a shortcut to return to the old camp of Danhanshan Mountain."

Tian Feng said: "You can give me some feedback. The Zhoucang tribe in the northern part of Mobei also crossed the desert from Jiluo Mountain, facing upwards in the Shanggu area, and the lord thought it was just a chance?"
