Ma Chao wanted to show his personal intention to stop Chang Diao's attack and prove his sincerity to Cheng Gongying, but he found that Chang Diao might have directly seen through his plan, so he simply stayed in Xingguo east of Changlichuan, without any idea of ​​crossing the river.

If it were such a confrontation in the past, it would be very beneficial to Ma Chao, but now the morale of his army has been severely hit, and the cold weather has also made the soldiers quite uneasy. Ma Dai advised Ma Chao to leave and return to Ji County to meet with Pang De first.

They came from Hanzhong not to make a comeback here. If they couldn't make a breakthrough quickly, everything would be over.

When Ma Chaodu returned to the south of the Wei River and was about to join Pang De to attack Ji County again, an autumn rain came unexpectedly.

The continuous autumn rain brought a bone-black coolness, causing Ma Chao's army, who had just crossed the river and had not had time to camp, almost all of their combat effectiveness. They looked at Ji County in the distance, and cried loudly.

The warriors of Xiliang were dominating the world, but this time they were trapped in boundless despair.

What made them even more desperate was that Xu Huang, who had been observing secretly, finally sent troops.

Xu Huang used troops to highlight a combination of movement and stillness.

Yunshan was extremely lively before, and Xu Huang, who had an army of 20,000, did not move at all, because he did not get Yunshan's request to increase troops, and he just occupied the people of Shangji and was not inclined to be extremely careful.

This made Guo Huai and others dizzy. They wanted to fight Xu Huang directly, blaming Xu Huang for being so cowardly.

But Xu Huang just refused to send troops until he received the news that Ma Chao's army and Cheng Gongying did not join forces. Ma Chao returned to Ji County in shame. Xu Huang no longer hesitated and directly ordered the entire army to attack, leaving only less than a thousand people to guard Shangji and go to a decisive battle with Ma Chao!

Facts have proved that Xu Huang's ability to seize the opportunity of combat is really awesome.

Ma Chao was caught off guard. Not to mention Ji County, even Xi County in the south was directly attacked by Xu Huang. Xu Huang drove straight in, rushed and attacked hard, killing the depressed Liangzhou army with no resistance. The Liangzhou army, which once had an invincible under Ma Chao, met an elephant like an ant, and was easily crushed, screaming and wailing everywhere.

An incredible thing happened during the battle.

Guo Huai, who was so excited that he rushed to Ma Chao, rushed to the side of Ma Chao in a hurry!

When Ma Chao fought, he often used this method of waiting for his leisure to temporarily disperse the disadvantaged troops around him, and then used his unparalleled courage to attack him head-on. Finally, the entire army gathered together to kill the powerful enemies.

When Guo Huai saw that it was Ma Chao, his heart was cold. It can be seen that the whole army was full of fighting spirit. He didn't know where the courage came from, but he actually raised his spear to fight Ma Chao alone!

This was undoubtedly a behavior of seeking death. Xu Huang looked at him in a distance and cursed with anger, and had to urge the horse to rescue him, for fear of being pierced by a spear in an instant.

But the next scene stunned Xu Huang.

The iron spear in Guo Huai's hand was as strong as the wind, covering Ma Chao's whole body with his teeth and claws. Ma Chao clumsyly waved the iron spear to protect his whole body, and his every move was quite awkward and dull, and he was completely no match for Guo Huai!

Ma Chao was actually suppressed by Guo Huai!

The Liangzhou army was shocked.

They never thought that such a thing would happen. Who is Ma Chao? It can be said that he is stubborn and capricious, but no one has ever doubted his martial arts. Who is the origin of this Central Plains man? Ma Chao is not his opponent!

Guo Huai was also slightly surprised.

He had several opportunities to stab Ma Chao to death directly, but his wrists trembled in excitement and actually missed opportunities one after another. The two of them fought against each other for a moment.

"Don't be too arrogant, eat my Ma Dai's spear!"

Seeing that Ma Chao was frustrated, Ma Dai rushed forward to support him.

He was the only one in the army who knew what was going on.

After Ma Chao suffered a serious physical problem due to his worries and anger in Guanzhong, he was humiliated by Yang Fu and neglected by the Hanzhong people. He was always full of support, but in the end his mental strength was damaged and his health was getting worse.

This time, Cheng Gongying would rather return to Jincheng hungry than accept Ma Chao's rare kindness, which completely collapsed. He felt that the world had no place to sit. Although he could barely put on a horse, his body no longer allowed him to perform his domineering martial arts.

The peerless general who once captured Xiahou Ba alive in one encounter in the Battle of Chang'an was still in his prime, but he could no longer show his 30% ability, otherwise he would not have been beaten by Guo Huai.

Ma Dai held a spear to fight Guo Huai, and Guo Huai couldn't resist it immediately.

But Guo Huai had come back to his senses from his previous surprise. He saw that Ma Dai's face was quite panicked. He knew that the Liangzhou army was already in chaos, so he simply let out a long and roaring roar. The iron spear in his hand was not well-organized, and he wielded wildly like a sudden rain, constantly attacking Ma Dai.

Ma Dai couldn't take Guo Huai for a moment and was quite anxious. He was about to turn his head and retreat slightly when he suddenly felt a murderous intent spreading slowly towards him.

He looked at it from the corner of his eyes and was immediately frightened and stunned on the spot.

I saw Xu Huang coming by lightly at some point. This Hedong man with a strong martial arts skill was holding a steel knife in his hand, his eyes were like lightning, like a giant bear standing up, opening his huge mouth and pounced on Ma Dai!

Xu Huang is experienced. He has seen that Ma Chao's health has serious problems and is not afraid at all. As long as Ma Dai is killed, the Liangzhou army general will completely collapse, and the credit for killing Ma Chao will also fall into his hands.

His surprise attack was just right, moving towards the wind. He seemed to instantly understand all the things he had not understood when discussing martial arts with Guan Yu. Even if Guan Yu, who killed Yan Liang, came, he might not be able to take over this sword against the wind!

"Ma Dai, die for me!"

Xu Huang roared angrily, and Ma Dai felt that the sky was dark and immediately fell into despair.

Just when Xu Huang was about to take down Ma Dai's head, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head. The pain made him scream and fell directly from the horse!

A feather arrow actually hit Xu Huang's forehead without any bias!

If it weren't for the blocking of the arrow, the arrow had already pierced Xu Huang's head.

But even so, the arrow pierced the iron dove and opened a big hole in Xu Huang's forehead. Xu Huang lost consciousness in pain!

"General!" Guo Huai didn't know Xu Huang's life and death, so he was angry and anxious, and attacked Ma Dai without any hesitation.

Ma Dai walked past the edge of life and death, and felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat. He looked into the distance and saw a man with a strong body covered in iron armor riding a white horse, crossing his sword and bent his bow.

"Ling Ming! Ling Ming!" he shouted in surprise.

Pang De's face was as gloomy as iron. He looked around and saw that the Liangzhou soldiers under Ma Chao's command had no power to resist. They were obviously slaughtered by the enemy one side. Without Ma Chao's backbone, the Liangzhou soldiers obviously could not hold on.

"Ling Ming! Come and lead the army, let's fight for a while!" Ma Dai said excitedly.

Pang De shook his head slowly and rode his horse to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, who was in his prime, had sweat on his face and was out of breath. A blood mark was slowly printed from the corner of his mouth, which was really embarrassing.

If it were last year, no, even before crossing the river, how could he take Guo Huai's martial arts seriously?

Even if Xu Huang comes in person, he may not be able to withstand Ma Chao's fierce martial arts.

But now everything is over.

Ma Chao's most proud martial arts became like this, and the proud Liangzhou man had completely collapsed.

He didn't even dare to face Pang De's gaze, his eyes were filled with tears.

"It's my bad, it's my bad." Ma Chao's voice was particularly hoarse, and he slowly admitted his mistake to Pang De, "It's all my bad. If I could listen to Ling Ming before, I wouldn't have become like this. It's all my bad, I brought the men into a desperate situation!"

Looking at the fear and pain on the faces of Liangzhou soldiers around him, Pang De slowly closed his eyes.

"This is all fate. We used to marching across Guanzhong and kill countless people. Now these people are here to take revenge, which is also our fate."

The resolute Liangzhou man paused and his eyes became more gentle:

"Meng Qi, cheer up, the men have to rely on you to fight to leave here. Zhiyue, if you take Meng Qi away, anyone can be captured, but Meng Qi cannot. When I come to the palace, I have to find a way out for the men!"

Ma Chao's dull eyes gradually regained a little expression. He knew what this meant - a long time ago, Pang De had already shown dissatisfaction with him, but because he was thinking of his former friendship, the two were still fighting side by side.

This farewell...

I don't know if I can meet again next time.

After years of fighting, fewer and fewer people around me are familiar with each other. Now Pang De is about to leave, and Ma Chao doesn't know where the sky is and where the earth is.

He bit his lips, his face full of sadness, but in the end he just slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a trembling voice:
Chapter completed!
