Chapter 325 Two Tigers Fight (11)
Zhang Fei and Ma Chao shouted and fought fiercely. Liu Bei and a group of generals were watching from the side, but he didn't want any of them to be damaged. Seeing that they were tired, he ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
As a horse-superior, the two naturally cherished their horses very much. They found that their war horses were overwhelmed. When they heard the sound of gold, they immediately separated and returned to their own formation.
Liu Bei let Zhang Fei out of the formation, it was already noon. After two battles, three hours passed quietly, and the night began to fall. Zhang Fei came back because he cherished his horsepower. He didn't want to make a standstill, and he had to change his horse again. However, Liu Bei had his plan and didn't want the two to decide the winner so quickly, so he was against Zhang Fei:
"My brother came from afar, and there were all people and horses. Ma Chao was brave and waited for his work. He should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to go back to the pass and rest for a night and fight again the next day."
Although Zhang Fei was so angry that he was killed, with his martial arts attainment, he naturally knew that Ma Chao's martial arts was not inferior to him, and he was not sure that he could win. In addition, he never dared to disobey Liu Bei, so he agreed to go back and rest first.
But since he led his troops alone to seize the first merit, Zhang Fei suddenly became enlightened and used to using his brain. When he moved his heart, he pretended not to go back and wanted to bargain with Liu Bei, and said loudly:
"Brother, don't be anxious. It's just that there are too few horses. I can fight again. After changing the horses, I will take down Ma Chao in one go, and then go back and rest!"
Liu Bei was able to suppress Zhang Fei tightly, not just relying on his identity as a eldest brother, but his timing was just right every time, forcing Zhang Fei to obey.
If Liu Bei was really not sure to convince Zhang Fei, he would not make any trouble, so he would just let him go.
Although Zhang Fei was not firm in his attitude today, he left a step for Liu Bei. Of course, Liu Bei did not dare to reject it, so he said in a negotiated tone:
"It's too late today, and I can't see it clearly in the darkness and can't fight."
Zhang Fei replied:
"Night battle is my strength. You can light more torches, which is also a way to win. Since my elder brother doesn't agree, then I'll go back to close and rest first. If I still can't win Ma Chao during the day tomorrow, my elder brother must arrange for me to have a night battle with Ma Chao!"
With this step, Liu Bei naturally would not argue with Zhang Fei anymore. He agreed immediately, and then both sides stopped their troops and returned.
After a night of rest, Zhang Fei was completely restored and the two dark horses recovered. Zhang Fei got up and used breakfast, clamoring to come out of seclusion and wait for Ma Chao, but was stopped by Liu Bei.
I don’t know whether it was the revenge of Zhang Fei’s delay in leaving the battle yesterday, or whether Ma Chao’s army was used to attacking Jiameng Pass and arrived late. After noon, Ma Chao led his troops to the pass to invite the battle.
This time, Liu Bei did not stop Zhang Fei from coming out of the formation. This confrontation between the two was not simply a battle in the formation, but also a process of fighting wits and courage.
Last night, the two of them were not idle either. Before going to bed, they recalled the battle during the day and came up with many ways to defeat the enemy. They all confidently came out, thinking of taking out their new tricks and defeating the other party unexpectedly.
Who knew that not only did they have the same martial arts skills, but even their martial arts attainments were limited. The new moves they came up with were very coincidental by the other party's new moves.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds, and no one took any advantage. They knew in their hearts that if they wanted to decide the winner, they could only spend their physical energy. However, over the whole day, although their physical strength had dropped significantly, they were still half a pound. No one could do anything to anyone!
Seeing that the sky became dark, Liu Bei once again called out the gold and retreated his troops. After Zhang Fei returned to his own formation, he decided to show his ability to fight at night and put forward the demand for Liu Bei's night.
Zhang Fei practiced the technique of "listening to sound and distinguishing position", and Liu Bei knew this. Zhang Fei was full of confidence in winning Ma Chao in the night battle. Moreover, last night, Zhang Fei had to follow the words, so Liu Bei had to obey.
Coincidentally, in addition to being able to ride and shoot, Ma Chao also practiced the ancestral art of "listening to sound and distinguishing position". His night battle skills were very good, and he also placed his hope of defeating Zhang Fei on night battles.
Here, Zhang Fei was discussing with Liu Bei, and before he could call out, Ma Chao had already left the battle again and shouted:
"Zhang Fei, do you dare to fight me at night?"
In ancient times, there was an unbalanced nutrition and vitamin deficiency, and the incidence of night blindness was very high. It was regarded as a normal physiological phenomenon. People without night blindness were considered to be gifted.
Zhang Fei and Ma Chao both have a good family background since childhood, so they will naturally not lack nutrition. Especially Zhang Fei, a foodie, has a pair of bright eyes. Although he does not have the legendary night vision function, he is much better than ordinary people...
Ma Chao's proposal hit Zhang Fei's thoughts. He immediately agreed and asked Liu Bei to change his black horse, wearing black armor, blended into the night and met Ma Chao.
At this time, the moon was hidden and the stars were dim and the night was hazy. Although it was a night battle, Liu Bei, Ma Dai and others did not want to miss the wonderful night duel and ordered the soldiers to light torches around.
But because both of them had long weapons, their moves opened and closed, and their lethality was amazing, the soldiers did not dare to hold the torches to approach the battlefield. Two torches that were closer were actually blown out by the wind brought by their moves.
Ma Chao rode a white horse, wearing white clothes and white armor, and looked naturally and very energetic, but under the dim firelight, it was very conspicuous.
Zhang Fei rode a black horse, wearing black armor, very hazy in the night, and even the audience around him could not see it clearly, which affected Ma Chao's vision and obviously gained the upper hand. The two clashed again and fought fiercely in front of the formation.
At the beginning, Ma Chao blocked Zhang Fei's attack with extraordinary eyesight, but as time went by, it became more and more difficult.
After more than twenty rounds of battle, Ma Chao was obviously suppressed, and he couldn't help but regret fighting with Zhang Fei at night, so he turned his horse's head back and left.
Zhang Fei was originally unreasonable and finally gained the upper hand, so he would not let Ma Chao escape unscathed, while chasing him and shouting:
"Where did Ma Chao escape?" The implication was that Ma Chao escaped and fled.
On the battlefield where tens of thousands of people watched, Zhang Fei's voice was particularly loud. All soldiers suffering from night blindness thought that Ma Chao was defeated.
Ma Chao was in an unfavorable situation in the night battle, so he naturally didn't want to give Zhang Fei a chance to defeat him. He originally wanted to return to his own formation and make an appointment with Zhang Fei to fight again tomorrow.
Who knew that after being chased by Zhang Fei and locked it up with words, he was irrefutable. He was slightly angry and had a plan. He simply did not do it, but he took out his hidden weapon, the bronze hammer, and secretly pulled it in his hand. He turned around and looked at Zhang Fei's figure and hit it with a hammer.
