Chapter five hundred and forty-eight must leave one person for Laozi
This is a blatant call for war and a blatant humiliation.
At that time, Ma Chao was defeated and did not dare to fight Yan Liang again, so he fled.
Today, the situation is just like a repeat of that year. Ma Chao once again faced the dilemma of being defeated.
At this moment, is he running away in despair again?
Or should you stay and fight to the death with Yan Liang?
In Ma Chao's mind, the words survival and dignity were fighting to the death.
After a while, Ma Chao gritted his teeth secretly and made a decision.
He fired several shots, and when he saw an opening, he jumped out of the battle group, turned around on his horse, looked in the direction of Fucheng, and fled.
While running away, Ma Chao shouted: "Yan Liang, I will spare your life today, but I will take your head someday!"
When Ma Chao shouted generously, he held the horse's belly with all his strength, wishing that the horse under his crotch could grow wings and fly.
"Ma Chao, your ability to escape is much better than your marksmanship. You really deserve to be the queen of Ma Yuan." Yan Liang, who was riding behind him in pursuit, taunted Ma Chao wantonly.
Ma Chao was so angry that his face turned red with embarrassment. He really wanted to turn around and fight Yan Liang to the death.
But the remaining trace of reason told him that it was important to save his life and not to act impulsively.
From Guanzhong to Longyou, from Longyou to Hanzhong, and then from Hanzhong to Xichuan, it is Ma Chao's so-called reason that allows him to survive to this day despite repeated defeats.
Yan Liang's heavy body, coupled with the weight of the Green Dragon Sword in his hand, made the speed of the horse under his crotch unable to keep up with Ma Chao's fine Liangzhou horse.
Not long after the chase, Ma Chao was already more than ten steps away, and he was running further and further away.
At this time, Yan Liang had realized that this time, Ma Chao might still not be able to survive. If he wanted to get rid of this problem, he would have to choose another time.
However, so what if Ma Chao is gone!
The coalition forces of the Xiliang Army and the Shu Army had been killed by him. After this great victory, Liu Zhang would no longer be able to resist and could only be bullied and slaughtered by him.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang's expression showed a hint of happiness, and he unconsciously slowed down his horse.
Just as he was sheathing his sword, he glanced sideways and saw Ma Dai running towards this side more than ten steps away.
When Yan Liang and Ma Chao were fighting, Ma Dai was also fighting fiercely with Yan Yan. Although this son of the Ma family had been shrouded in the shadow of his brother Ma Chao his whole life, his martial arts was truly outstanding.
After fighting Bai Yu with all his strength, Yan Yan was unable to defeat Ma Dai, and the two men fought hard to separate them.
Faced with the defeat of the entire army, Ma Dai had no choice but to flee like his elder brother.
However, Ma Dai was not lucky enough. On his way to escape, he happened to bump into Yan Liang.
Seeing Ma Dai approaching in ruins, Yan Liang stood on horseback with his sword drawn. His towering body was like a giant mountain, blocking Ma Dai's path.
Ma Dai, who came riding a horse and carrying a sword, saw Yan Liang and was already too late to avoid him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.
The blood-soaked horseman marched on the bloody road, roaring and rushing towards Yan Liang. The sword in his hand was raised high.
Ma Dai naturally saw the thrilling fight between Yan Liang and Ma Chao just now. Even a figure like his brother could not do anything to Yan Liang. Ma Dai knew that his martial arts was far from Yan Liang.
However, when he reached this point, he could only muster up his courage and try to find a way out.
Facing the seemingly menacing Ma Dai, Yan Liang's face was solemn and motionless, and the contempt in his eyes only increased.
As soon as he rode up, Ma Dai shouted loudly, raised the sword in his hand, and slashed Yan Liang in the chest.
When the blade of the knife was about to reach his eyes, Yan Liang, who was standing still, suddenly focused his eyes, and his iron tower-like body suddenly shook.
Just when Ma Dai didn't see clearly how Yan Liang made his move, he saw that Yan Liang's ape arm had already stretched out, and the Qinglong Sword in his hand was swinging out from left to right.
Arriving last but first, the bloody blade, carrying the sound of hunting wind, swept straight towards Ma Dai's waist.
Ma Dai knew that Yan Liang was superb in martial arts, but he didn't expect that Yan Liang, a seemingly heavy man, could be so agile with swordsmanship.
Frightened, Ma Dai didn't have time to think too much and raised his sword to block it.
With a muffled sound of "Hang", a torrent of huge force poured into Ma Dai's body, shaking his seven-foot body to the other side, forcing Ma Dai's legs to be tightly clamped
Only when the horse's belly is stretched out can he barely sit still.
And the force that poured into Ma Dai's body was like a whip soaked in water, mercilessly hitting his internal organs until his blood boiled, and he had the urge to vomit blood when he opened his mouth.
Ma Dai's breath was stagnant, his head was dizzy, and he struggled to hold on. He was extremely shocked by Yan Liang's martial arts.
But just before he could take a breath, Yan Liang's face turned as ice as ice, and he suddenly changed his moves. The sword came down from top to bottom, silently and invisibly cutting into Ma Dai's head.
Seeing the cold light hitting his head, Ma Dai ignored the surge of energy and blood and could only use all his strength to raise the sword.
Bang——
There was another hunting cry, sparks flew everywhere, and Ma Dai was pressed down several inches even with his knife.
Under the huge pressure, Yan Liang's blade actually cut through Ma Dai's armor and cut into his shoulder, which only caused Ma Dai extreme pain.
And just when the feeling of severe pain invaded his nerves, the pressure on his arms suddenly diminished.
Then, the more than eighty kilogram sword was like a wheel, wrapped in the power of violent rage, and slashed towards his waist with a backhand.
Ma Dai, who was in severe pain, could only rely on one arm and pushed the sword in his hand sideways, trying with all his strength to block the blow.
The green knife in Yan Liang's hand came like lightning and struck mercilessly at the embarrassed Ma Dai.
"Well——"
With a muffled groan, the sword in Ma Dai's hand flew away, and his big body was blown away like a kite with its string broken.
With a "bang" sound, Ma Dai fell heavily three feet away, rolled to the ground, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
The three swords were executed in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water, almost so fast that people mistakenly thought that Yan Liang had not made any moves at all.
Ma Dai fell to the ground, vomiting blood and gasping for air. He wanted to get up from the ground, but his arms were unable to support him.
"I can't even catch three swords. This person's martial arts is so strong. It's really incredible..."
When Ma Dai was shocked, a group of Yan soldiers rushed up and tied him up heavily.
Yan Liang, who had captured Ma Dai alive, only glanced sideways at him, but had no intention of paying any more attention to him. He only commanded his soldiers to follow the defeated Shu army while riding his horse and wielding his sword.
Tens of thousands of victorious soldiers chased the completely collapsed Shu army and headed towards Fucheng.
Behind them were the broken flags and drums of the Shu army, as well as the corpses all over the field.
On the Fu River, Pang Tong stood with his hands behind his back, clearly witnessing this great victory of his soldiers.
When he saw that the enemy was defeated by the wind, Pang Tong caressed a standing soldier beside him and couldn't help laughing.
And the so-called "soldier" he was touching was nothing more than a straw-made dummy.
Not just around him, almost all of the officers and soldiers of the Yan army lined up on the hundreds of waterways were just dummies.
In this battle, Yan Liang had already mobilized 40,000 troops to fight the Shu army to the death. How could he draw a force of 7,800 soldiers and horses to attack the Shu army by water?
But Yan Liang knew that his real opponent was Cao Cao. Even if he wanted to fight decisively, he could not turn the battle into a war of attrition.
Therefore, Pang Tong set up this plan for him, using dummies to travel on the waterway by boat, pretending to attack the Shu army in a large scale, in order to undermine the morale of the Shu army.
Now it seems that Pang Tong's strategy was indeed successful.
The big flag with the word "Yan" flying all the way to the north, Yan Liang commanded his army, and did not stop until they reached the bottom of Fucheng City.
After the great victory, the battlefield was counted. After this battle, the Shu army was killed by more than ten thousand people, and the number of those who surrendered was even five or six thousand.
The defeated Ma Chao, Zhang Ren and others could only lead less than 20,000 remaining soldiers and fled into Fucheng in embarrassment, guarding behind closed doors and not daring to fight again.
In the first battle, half of the Fucheng army was wiped out. Yan Liang, who was victorious, took advantage of the high morale of the soldiers to march his army to Fucheng, forced the city to enter the stronghold, and formed a siege on Fucheng.
At night.
The newly formed camp was filled with cheers. This great victory made tens of thousands of soldiers extremely excited.
Yan Liang then took all the treasuries of the counties in Shu and rewarded his victorious soldiers with good wine and meat, and this reward made the soldiers cheer for joy.
In the big tent, the atmosphere was one of solemnity.
Yan Liang sat high on the table, his eyes blazing, and he drank cup after cup of wine.
Next to Zhou Cang, there were also a group of pro-military tiger soldiers, standing solemnly to the side, all with fierce looks on their faces.
The curtain was lifted, and Ma Dai, who was tied up all over, was taken into the tent.
Zhou Cang and other close soldiers all glanced at Ma Dai, their fierce gazes seeming to be staring at the prey under their claws.
Ma Dai felt the cold and solemn atmosphere, and a hint of gloom flashed across his gloomy face.
After drinking a glass of wine, Yan Liang raised his head, looked down at Ma Dai, and said coldly: "The person kneeling in front of the case is the criminal Ma Dai?"
Yan Liang asked knowingly.
The word "sinner" sounded like an insult to Ma Dai.
He snorted coldly, "This general is Ma Dai, but I don't know what crime he is guilty of."
"What's the crime?" Yan Liang snorted, "Back in Wancheng, I had no grudges against your Ma family, but your brother invaded my territory and killed my people. How dare you say you're not guilty!
"
Yan Liang is a person who holds grudges, and he will never forget the old grudges made many years ago.
However, Ma Dai was not afraid at all, and simply said: "If my Ma family is guilty, then let me ask you, what is your crime when you invaded Jingzhou for no reason and took away the inheritance of Liu Biao and his son?"
Yan Liang originally thought that Ma Dai would come up with some excuse for "conquering under imperial edict", but he did not expect that Ma Dai would dare to openly ridicule him.
This unexpected answer made Yan Liang burst into laughter.
Looking at Yan Liang who suddenly laughed wildly, Ma Dai, who had originally looked stubborn and gloomy, couldn't help but look at a loss. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
