402 Unexpectedly
Ma Chao did not expect that the other party was prepared and ordered an attack. However, he knew that Zhang Ji's martial arts were only second-rate generals at most, and even the second-rate generals were a little polite. What if the other party was prepared? Not to mention that it was Zhang Ji, even if their uncle and nephew came together, he would still capture them alive.
So Ma Chao was not worried at all. He felt that it only took more than ten rounds to capture Zhang Ji alive, thus occupying Chen Cang in one sentence and realizing the first step in his strategic plan.
However, Ma Chao was surprised to find that things were not that simple. Zhang Ji, the opposite side, had some reason, had greatly increased his martial arts skills, and his speed and strength were comparable to him. Although his sword skills were a little rough and his combat experience was a little lacking, it was probably not that easy for the opponent to defend himself now, and it would be possible that he would win in a short period of time.
What is even more surprising is that at this time, Zhang Xiu led his army out of the cave in the city gate and directly killed the soldiers under Ma Chao who were still in the food truck.
Although the thousands of soldiers under Ma Chao's command are now starting to prepare, they are no match for Zhang Xiu's thousands of iron cavalry? Thousands of cavalry rushed forward like wind and clouds, and rushed towards Ma Chao's soldiers.
Most of the soldiers of Ma Chao have just jumped out of the car, and some have not even come out, let alone any formation. Moreover, these soldiers are from cavalry and are not very good at infantry battles. Now they are raided by cavalry, so they are naturally panicked and fled in all directions, and they can't care about anything else? So in an instant, thousands of people ran around like a bunch of flies, but how can they run? They can only scream under the iron hooves of the cavalry and become the target of the other party.
For a moment, the soldiers who jumped out of the food truck were massacred one-sidedly massacred, while the soldiers who had not jumped out of the food truck hid inside and dared not move, hoping to escape the disaster.
In fact, this is true. No one cares about them at this time. Of course, it is not that Zhang Xiu and his soldiers did not know that they were hiding here, but that they had no time to pay attention to them, because Zhang Xiu had to clean up the enemy soldiers who showed up first. When everything was over, dealing with these enemy soldiers on the food truck was like closing the door and beating dogs, which was easy.
When Ma Chao saw this scene, he was still in the mood to fight with Zhang Ji? He didn't dare to fight, so he quickly pretended to take action and wanted to leave. However, Zhang Ji chased him closely. In addition, Zhang Ji's soldiers chased him with Zhang Ji, which made Ma Chao even more unable to resist and fought hard to fight a bloody road, snatched a war horse, and then ran away without looking back.
Just when Ma Chao assassinated Zhang Ji, Zhong Yao, who was standing not far away from Ma Chao, had a smile on his face. He believed that with Ma Chao's courage, it would be absolutely easy to assassinate Zhang Ji. However, the next moment, when he saw Zhang Ji actually tied with Ma Chao, he was no longer calm because he did not expect that Zhang Ji's martial arts were comparable to Ma Chao!
"How is this possible? I know clearly that Zhang Ji's martial arts skills were not even comparable to Hua Xiong, and they were even far behind. But now he was able to be comparable to Ma Chao. What's going on? Did Zhang Ji hide his strength before? But this is impossible. When Zhang Ji was in danger, he didn't show his super combat power? Or was it because Ma Chao deliberately gave in? This is impossible. No matter how stupid Ma Chao was, he wouldn't deliberately give in to the other party to kill the soldiers. Besides, there was no need for Ma Chao to give in. His ambition was real and he did not make any false at all."
However, just when Zhong Yao was puzzled, he saw Zhang Xiu leading the army to kill him. When Zhong Yao saw this scene, he didn't care about it anymore and immediately turned around and prepared to escape.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiu's cavalry rushed over and dispersed Zhong Yao and his personal guards. Zhong Yao himself had no standing, but was instantly submerged in the opponent's cavalry trend.
At this time, Zhong Yao could only find a way to get into the defeated army, and then he hoped to escape his life. However, he heard Zhang Xiu next to him exclaimed lightly, then rode his horse and spear to Zhong Yao, and said to him: "Who are you? I don't think your outfit looks like an ordinary soldier, so he must be a careful work."
Then he ordered his soldiers to arrest Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao smiled bitterly. He didn't have to come here today, but Ma Chao was afraid that he would take the opportunity to win over his subordinates, so he forced him to pull him together. Zhong Yao himself actually thought about coming here to see it, but he didn't expect that this would end. However, Zhong Yao was sure that Zhang Xiu didn't know him, so he bowed to Zhang Ji and said, "General, the villain was originally a teacher in the town. He was forcibly accused by Ma Chao and asked the villain to be his military advisor. The villain had just read the scriptures for a few years, so how could he be a military advisor? So this can be regarded as an unrestrained disaster. Fortunately, the general rescued the villain, and asked the general to be a thorough person and let the villain go. The villain will definitely find a way to repay the general's kindness in the future."
However, Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Teacher? Can the teacher be as calm as you? Although you pretend to be a little nervous, you look calm. At first glance, you are a brave and knowledgeable person. If I guess correctly, it is the Ma Chao rebellion you instigated? Who is the most beneficial to Ma Chao now? It is not Ma Chao at all, but Cao Cao, because Cao Cao is going to war with Yuan Shao in full swing, and you are worried that we will attack him from behind, so you are the one sent by Cao Cao, and I am not saying it?"
"General is joking, how can I have such ability? I am really just a teacher." Although Zhong Yao made such a defense, his defense was so powerless, because Zhong Yao's heart is now stormy and extremely shocked. He never expected that Zhang Xiu had seen through him, and Zhang Xiu's analysis was so accurate that he directly pointed out his identity and purpose. You must know that he had never appeared before. It is basically impossible that Pei Qing and his advisers could predict that he would come back here. Then there was only one possibility, which was that Zhang Ji saw through his identity and purpose based on his own judgment.
"I used to know that Zhang Xiu was just a brave and unscrupulous boy, but I didn't expect that he had such a mind. Even if I felt ashamed of myself, I really started acting today. Zhang Ji's martial arts are comparable to Ma Chao. Zhang Xiu's brain is so good, it can be worthy of the wisdom of a top-notch strategist. It's not unfair to me to fall here, but what happened to them? If they have such ability themselves, I won't believe it to be killed! Is it really like Guo Jia said casually that Pei Qing has the ability to transform people? This is really too fantasy? I didn't expect that it would be like this ending. I didn't expect that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew performed so amazingly, and I didn't expect that Pei Qing might really have the ability to transform people. If this speculation is true, who else can compete with him in this world?"
