"Military Master!" Pang De shouted anxiously, "Let's stay for the time being, please listen to the last word!"

Ma Chao stopped suddenly, turned his head angrily, and asked, "What's the matter after this battle..."

"Military leader, given the current situation of the brothers, do you think you can still fight against the enemy's light cavalry?" Although Pang De knew that Ma Chao was extremely angry now, he still advised him desperately for the future of the Ma family army, "And since Liu Bei's light cavalry has arrived in Zhangxiang, Guan Yu's troops may not be far away.

If you use my tired army to attack the enemy who is waiting for labor, it is unlikely to have a chance to win. Please think twice!”

"Think twice, think twice!" Ma Chao's eyes flashed with cold light and he looked directly at Pang De, "Another 30,000 people were defeated, and half of the 90,000 troops were lost. If you think about it again and again, you will not be wiped out?"

"Military leader..." Pang De looked very anxious and opened his mouth to continue to persuade him.

"Enough, I'm out of my mind!" Ma Chao waved his hand and stopped Pang De's words without hesitation.

"..." Pang De looked at Ma Chao with heartache and sighed silently. Pang De knew very well that after a series of setbacks, especially the most proud Wu Yong and Iron Cavalry were defeated by the enemy, which made Ma Chao's mentality unbalanced.

Negative emotions such as anger, anxiety and other negative emotions have completely occupied Ma Chao's heart. Now he is thinking about how to have a happy victory to cleanse his own shame.

Zhang Fei and his troops were too "strong", and Ma Chao was afraid to think about this for the time being. Zhao Yun's appearance happened to be the target of Ma Chao's anger.

Although Zhao Yun's reputation is not obvious.

But Pang De did not think that this was an easy opponent. Not to mention that this man was commanding the only cavalry under Liu Bei (because the south did not produce horses, Pang De estimated that these 6,000 light cavalry should be all the cavalry in Liu Bei's hands). Judging from the method of Zhao Yun defeating Ma Dai's 30,000 infantrymen, Pang De felt that this man was extremely unusual.

If he falls into Zhao Yun's hands again, Pang De will not dare to imagine what kind of prospects Ma Chao and the entire Ma family army will have.

However, it's a pity... Ma Chao, who was extremely angry, couldn't listen to anyone's advice at all. Pang De knew that unless the dead Ma Teng was resurrected, others would not be able to lobby for Ma Chao now...

"Ling Ming, you are injured by arrows.

It is not advisable to fight with great effort. When you pass by Dangyang County, you should stay for a while!" Through the bright and cold moonlight, Ma Chao caught a glimpse of Pang De's red thighs. He thought of the previous injury of Pang De to save him, and his heart softened, his anger slightly diminished, and his voice slowed down.

"When I defeated Zhao Yun, I will work with you to eliminate the dog thieves like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Kuai Yue! You and I will avenge the old dog Han and Cao thieves, and you and I will join forces!"

"... Thank you, Master!" Governor Pang De was irreversible, so he had to nod his head and responded sadly.

"The whole army obeys the order. Get on the horse!" Ma Chao strided to the side of his war horse, jumped, rolled over, picked up the Tianlang rifle on the side of the horse. He shouted sternly, "Go to Dangyang first and eat the horse, and then follow me to sweep the dog thief Zhao Yun!"

The iron cavalry soldiers did not echo Ma Chao's harsh shouts, but just silently flipped onto the war horse. Today's wars were unsuccessful one after another, and they gave the morale of these iron cavalry a heavy blow. Some people were even discouraged by the future...

But Ma Chao didn't notice this. In his heart, except for revenge, he was just venting anger, and everything else had long been thrown out of the sky...

…………………………………………………

Ma Chao led the remaining 7,000 iron cavalry to ride the moonlight and finally arrived at Dangyang County at the early morning. There were 5,000 infantrymen stationed in Dangyang, and the one who commanded these infantry was Ma Ming, another brother of Ma Chao.

After connecting Ma Chao into the city, Ma Ming was shocked to find that not only were there only more than 7,000 cavalry left, but many of them were injured. Pang De, a powerful general who is famous in Western Xinjiang, was actually injured and even had problems walking.

The clan brother Ma Chao also showed signs of injury...

Ma Ming couldn't figure it out anyway. How could the clan brother, who had always been invincible, end up in such a miserable situation?

Seeing Ma Chao full of anger, Ma Ming did not dare to ask him anything. Instead, he learned about the incident from Ma Hua. After hearing this, he was immediately shocked by Ma Chaojun's experience.

Ma Chao ordered Dangyang County Magistrate to prepare food and forage for soldiers and war horses to satisfy hunger. He then sought a doctor to further treat the wounded soldiers...

After a little rest for two hours, Ma Chao immediately urged the Iron Cavalry to attack again, and the troops headed straight to Zhangxiang. Before leaving, Ma Chao kept Pang De in Dangyang County and ordered Ma Mingjin to guard the city to guard against the attack of Zhang Fei and Kuai Yue coalition forces in the south.

.

Although Ma Chao was extremely angry, he did not completely lose his mind. According to known local information, Ma Chao knew that the enemy had at least 6,000 light cavalry.

Judging from the situation where he easily defeated Ma Dai's 30,000 infantrymen, this is obviously not an army that can be seen casually.

If you want to restrain the king of land warfare, the best and most effective way is to fight against the cavalry. Although you have encountered extremely depressed setbacks before, Ma Chao still trusts the combat power of the iron cavalry under his command.

Ma Chao believed that as long as it was a battle of cavalry attacks, no cavalry in the world could compete with his subway cavalry.

Ma Chao was worried that Zhao Yun's light cavalry did not dare to confront him head-on, but was entangled with him with the powerful power of the light cavalry.

In addition, after being hard-worked by Zhang Fei, although Ma Chao did not say anything, he actually felt a deep sense of fear of the enemy's tricks in his heart.

Although he had encountered enemy tricks before, Fa Zheng was able to help Ma Chao see through it in time, and sometimes he could even make a plan.

But at this moment, Fa Zheng was still in Xiangyang and could not make any suggestions. Ma Chao never felt the importance of Fa Zheng as he is now.

Without Fa Zheng, Ma Chao could only be as cautious as possible. Before the brigade of iron cavalry set off, Ma Chao had sent several groups of scouts to Zhangxiang to explore the enemy situation.

.

When Ma Chao's iron cavalry ran out of Dangyang County about ten miles, the first batch of scouts sent were rewarded and brought back a personal soldier from Ma Dai to seek help.

When the personal soldiers asked for help saw Ma Chao, they knelt on their knees and cried and asked Ma Chao to rescue Ma Dai as soon as possible.

Ma Chao was shocked and asked about the situation urgently. It turned out that after the 30,000 infantry were defeated, Ma Dai tried his best to gather less than 5,000 people and rushed to the south.

Zhao Yun's light cavalry did not chase after other defeated enemies, but just stared at Ma Dai and stopped chasing them all the way. When they were tired of chasing, they stopped to rest. After they had enough rest, they continued to pursue them.

How can the speed of the light cavalry be matched by human power? Often, Ma Chao infantry escaped for eight or nine miles in one hour, and the enemy light cavalry chased after it in less than a moment.

Fortunately, Ma Dai was alert and tried to retreat with ups and downs or undercover of the woods so that he would not be annihilated by the enemy cavalry.

However, after several divisions and encirclements of the enemy, Ma Dai's soldiers were only about 2,000 left, and they were retreating towards Changbanpo in Dangyang County.

With the only remaining troops under his command, it would not be possible to escape safely. In desperation, Ma Dai could only send his personal soldiers to Ma Ming, who was stationed in Dangyang.

However, the personal soldiers who were asking for help actually met a scout sent by Ma Chao halfway.

"Changbanpo?!!" Ma Chao turned his head and looked north and murmured.

"How powerful is the enemy light cavalry?" After thinking for a while, Ma Chao suddenly asked the personal soldier.

"The leader of the army, the enemy light cavalry rarely confronts our army head-on, and the villain doesn't know what kind of combat power is. Before the army was dispersed, General Ma (Ma Dai) had prepared to fight the enemy cavalry twice, but Zhao Yun was very cunning and fled immediately.

But as soon as our army continued to rush south, the enemy's cavalry came back. After a few times of going back and forth, the morale of the army dispersed!" said the personal soldiers asking for help with a depressed expression.

"Can the enemy cavalry lose?" Ma Chao asked with a gloomy face.

"..." The personal soldiers asked for help thought for a moment, and finally gave an amazing answer, "Report to the army leader, the enemy cavalry has almost no losses, and they have never really fought with our army!"

"Haha..." Ma Chao sneered to the sky, "Thirty thousand people were defeated, but there was no loss at all..." As he smiled, Ma Chao suddenly thought of his defeat in Jiangling. The loss of 4,000 cavalry also caused zero casualties in the enemy's army, and his expression immediately became extremely gloomy.

"Military Master, Brother Zhonghua is very dangerous now, so let's rescue him first!" Ma Hua knew what his clan brother was thinking, so he hurriedly advised him.

Ma Chao frowned and thought for a moment, nodded, and issued an order to advance: "The whole army obeys the order and accelerates its march towards Changbanpo!"

The arrow is already on the string and has to be fired...

.

More than thirty miles north of Dangyang is Changbanpo.

In the original historical trajectory, two popular legends have been staged here - Zhao Zilong fought bloody battles in Changbanpo, and rode alone to save the young master in seven times; Zhang Yide was guarding Baling Bridge, and three shouts of shouting to retreat to Cao's army!

Now, although time and space have changed, another legend is about to begin...
