Chapter 297: Turnaround, Ma Teng's repeated horizontal jumps
Several generals of Ma Chaojun were killed in succession, and someone recognized Zhang Xiu's identity, so they felt timid in their hearts and began to retreat uncontrollably.
After Zhang Xiu killed more than ten people in a row, his eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that he had completely killed the enemy's army.
There were more than ten thousand cavalry on both sides. After the first confrontation, more than a thousand people fell on the battlefield forever.
"The battle loss ratio between the two sides is almost the same, but our army has more troops than Ma Chaoman. It seems that our army is at a slight disadvantage." After a brief estimate, Zhang Xiu thought to himself: "I don't know if Ma Teng's army is much stronger, or because our army has been in the Central Plains for a long time.
Without the spirit of the past...this battle may not be easy..."
Ma Chao, the other party, also thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this embroidery still has something... Dad is right, Cao Jun should not be underestimated."
Although both Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao are wary of the other, both sides are now red-eyed and unwilling to let it go.
So Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao came to the front of the formation again, raised their spears high and shouted:
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, charge with me!"
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, charge with me!"
...
Dayang, inside the main tent of Guo Yuan's army camp.
Guo Yuan once again called everyone to discuss matters because he received news from Ma Teng.
"Everyone, Ma Teng has crossed the Yellow River from the upper reaches. It's time for us to unite and attack the south bank of the Yellow River."
After finishing speaking, Guo Yuan pointed to the huge map hanging behind him and said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui will contain Cao's army from the side, and our army can take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River by boat in three positions.
No matter who crosses the Yellow River first, as long as he and Ma Teng's army form a pincer attack, Cao's army will not be distracted and stop the rest of my army from crossing the river.
As long as we wait for the whole army to cross the river, it will only be a matter of time before Cao's army is defeated.
After defeating Cao Jun, we can take advantage of the situation and invade Hongnong. After occupying Hongnong, we can drive straight into Chang'an from the west, and occupy Hangu Pass in the east to completely capture Guanzhong!
The great achievement of throwing the sky is just around the corner, I hope you all will work together to defeat Cao Jun!"
Guo Yuan's pie was very round, and the soldiers under his command were even more excited when they heard it.
“Work together!”
"Defeat Cao Jun!"
Seeing everyone's high morale, Guo Yuan was very proud and said, "Everyone, go prepare the boats first. At dawn tomorrow, we will cross the river and attack Cao's army directly!"
...
The cavalry of Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao have charged each other three times, and almost everyone on both sides has been injured.
Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu finally strangled each other during the third charge. The two fought for fifty or sixty rounds, and finally ended with Zhang Xiu at a slight disadvantage.
Zhang Xiu, who had a scratch on his right arm and left shoulder, looked at Ma Chao, who had a bloodstain on his face, and sighed in his heart: "Dong Xiangguo and his uncle have only been away for a few years, and the Xiliang Ma family has already risen so...
.And this Ma Chao has the potential to become a master at the level of Junior Brother Zilong. There are really many heroes in this world!"
Ma Chao stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood dripping from the wound on his cheek, and sighed in his heart: "I never thought that Zhang Xiu, who had expired, could be so brave... Then what about long-famous generals like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei?
How powerful?"
The more he thought about it, the more blood boiled in Ma Chao's body, "There are so many masters in the Central Plains. It's really exciting to think about it! It's just a pity that Lu Yan was willing to fall and lose his innate ability for a woman."
This situation is really a shame for our warriors..."
Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu's armies suffered heavy losses, and they both made a tacit agreement not to take action again at this moment.
"General Ma, your father has always been friendly to the imperial court. Why did he help Yuan Shang attack our army this time?" Zhang Xiu shouted to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment and replied: "I am just following orders."
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he saw that Ma Chao did not confront him, and thought to himself: "It seems that we can talk about it!"
So he put away his spear and shouted again: "General Ma, you are also a young hero with a bright future...Don't lead to the path of no return by helping the evil tyrants because of your greed."
Ma Chao hesitated again. He thought of his younger brother who was still a hostage in Chang'an. "The two armies are fighting, and each has his own master... If the general has any questions, please send someone to ask my father."
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, clasping his fists and saying, "General, you understand the righteousness, I will go back and report to Commander Zhong right now!"
Out of sympathy for his opponent, Ma Chao felt that Zhang Xiu would not take the opportunity to sneak attack on him.
Therefore, Ma Chao did not hesitate, cupped his fists and said: "That's it, I'll take my leave!"
Zhang Xiu also clasped his fists and said, "Take care!"
As soon as he retracted his spear, Ma Chao ordered: "Withdraw!"
As expected, Zhang Xiu also believed in martial ethics, and at the same time ordered: "Withdraw!"
After returning to the camp, Zhang Xiu still carried the blood of his enemies and himself, and hurriedly found Zhong Yao.
After telling Zhong Yao about his conversation with Ma Chao, Zhong Yao immediately said: "General Zhang is not only extraordinary in bravery, but also very insightful!"
"The captain has given me the award..." Zhang Xiu said modestly and with some embarrassment.
"Judging from Ma Chao's performance, Ma Teng should still have doubts in his heart... If we send a lobbyist here at this moment, maybe we can get Ma Teng to return to our army!"
"Really?" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he said: "That Ma Chao is young, and his Wu Yong is even slightly better than mine. The two minor injuries on my body are due to him... If Ma Teng's forces can join
We, then Yuan Jun and the Huns will not have anything to worry about."
"That's right!" Zhong Yao showed a smile and said, "I thought of a person who can definitely convince Ma Teng!"
"Who is it?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously.
"Feng Yi is from Gaoling, Zhang Ji!"
...
Ma Teng is about fifty years old this year. He is eight feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted. With his majestic face and nose and deep eyes, he looks even more powerful.
Ma Teng's career was not so smooth when he was young.
After Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was killed by his subordinates, Ma Teng even joined forces with Guo Guo, Han Sui and others to fight against the Han in Liangzhou.
But later, Ma Teng and others accepted Dong Zhuo's recruitment, returned to the Han Dynasty, and accumulated meritorious service and were promoted to partial generals.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Ma Teng was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si. It was not until Li Guo and Li were defeated that his development entered a stable period.
Later, when Zhong Yao took over Chang'an, Ma Teng listened to his persuasion and sent protons to Chang'an. After receiving support from the court, Ma Teng began to enter a period of rapid development.
But people's desires are endless. Not long ago, Yuan Shang sent people to find Ma Teng. After Yuan Shang promised various benefits, Ma Teng actually rebelled against Cao Cao and the Han court, and prepared to join forces with Yuan Shang in an attempt to swallow up the three assistants in Guanzhong.
place.
However, Ma Teng's rebellious heart was not very firm, especially when Zhang Xiu's reinforcements arrived and Ma Teng knew that Cao Cao still had some strength left.
Ma Teng had just received a letter from Yuan Shang, which told him to attack Cao Jun's camp at dawn tomorrow to contain Cao Jun and create conditions for them to cross the river.
But Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't want to fight hard with Cao Jun, and they didn't want to completely offend Cao Cao and Han Ting...
Just when the two of them were extremely entangled, Ma Chao came back.
