Under the leadership of Ma Chao, a hundred elite soldiers went out of Jiameng Pass and went all the way to the west, although the mountain road was narrow and rugged, but for Ma Chao and the hundred elite soldiers, it was not a problem at all.

Ma Chao held a large bow, the first to bear the brunt, standing at the front of the line, and on his left and right, there stood a soldier on each side, the soldier on the left was sturdy, tall, and his thick arms held a huge shield, if in danger, he only had to raise the shield in his hand, and he could cover himself and Ma Chao and another soldier inside.

The soldier on the right is short, but he is very strong, he is a guard of Ma Chao, his sword skills are very exquisite, and a pair of sharp eyes are looking around him.

Ma Chao, accompanied by two people, one on the left and one on the right, approached little by little, and after a while, he approached the pile of rocks blocked in the mountain road.

Huge rocks block the entire mountain path, and in order to pass through them, you must first remove or climb over them.

But no matter which way it is, there is a certain danger, because behind these big stones, there are those Sichuan soldiers who are eyeing each other, and as long as someone appears, they will definitely be shot through by arrows.

Since Ma Chao is here to open the way, of course he is also aware of the danger here, and the subordinates who follow him are also carefully selected dead soldiers, and they are all ready to sacrifice at any time.

The boulders blocking the road are one zhang wide, more than one person high, and there are seven or eight hundred catties at least, and they are piled up in twos and threes, completely blocking the road, and you want to move these boulders. No one hundred and ten people will not work at all.

But the point is that even if Ma Chao now has a hundred people. It is also impossible to move the boulder out of the way, as the road here is too narrow. There is simply no room for a hundred people to work together.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao decided not to move these boulders for the time being, and let them lie here honestly, as long as he cleared the Sichuan soldiers who were ambushed on this mountain road, then someone would find a way to remove these boulders.

The hundred people brought by Ma Chao came to the blocked boulder one after another, and the three of them lined up in a row and went out all the way.

But seeing that Ma Chao didn't think about it, he casually pointed to a few shield players. He said to them, "Climb up first, cover your body with your shield, and watch out for the arrows that come your way." ”

The three shield-bearers nodded, and with the huge shield in their hands, they carefully climbed the rock, and as soon as they appeared, they heard the sound of a dozen bowstrings, and a dozen arrows pierced the sky and whistled in the wind.

Ma Chao closed his eyes tightly. But he pricked up his ears, carefully listening to the sound of the bowstring when the arrows were fired, and wanted to judge where the enemy archers were, and kept counting in his mouth: "One, two, three, four......"

More than a dozen arrows were blocked from the shield. And the second wave of arrows shot again, and Ma Chao still heard the sound of thirteen bowstrings, and it was probably in what position. He heard it all.

I saw Ma Chao suddenly open his eyes and pull out a feather arrow from the quiver. Resting on the bowstring, his arms easily pulled the bowstring of the longbow he held in his hand. The body turned to the left, stepped on a rock, and the whole body jumped up, and at this moment, Ma Chao's eyes were like a meteor, and his arm was relaxed, and the arrow shot out, towards one of the archers in the Sichuan soldiers.

With a "whoosh", Ma Chao's feather arrow was like a bolt of lightning, and an arrow hit the throat of one of the archers, and the archer didn't scream, and fell in a pool of blood.

Ma Chao's archery skills were superb, and an arrow pierced the throat of the enemy, and before the enemy could react, Ma Chao's second and third arrows shot out, whistling towards the other two archers. At the same time, Ma Chao was constantly gesturing to his archers, telling them where the enemy archers were.

"Poof, poof" There were two more muffled sounds, and the two archers of the Sichuan army were shot in the throat by Ma Chao again, and fell silently in a pool of blood.

This time, the soldiers of the Sichuan army were all surprised, only to know the strength of the enemy, those archers were about to change their position, suddenly saw some people jumping up behind the boulder one after another, arrows shot one after another, but the flight angle was very different, intricate, people could not guard against it at all.

"Ah......h

Several screams of soldiers rang out at once, and six of the remaining ten archers were shot in the throat by arrows and killed instantly, but four of the archers were wounded and let out screams.

These archers under Ma Chao, although their archery skills are good, not everyone can do Ma Chao's 100 shots and pierce the throat with one arrow.

However, Rao is like this, Ma Chao is still very satisfied, after all, he gave the enemy a dismount.

"General, the enemy forces have retreated!" Standing on top of the boulder, the shield soldier who was used to attract the attention of the enemy archers lowered his head and said to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao immediately gave the order to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and all his subordinates climbed over these boulders. The shield man took the lead over the boulder, and the moment he jumped off the ground, he still did not forget to protect his body with his shield, and Ma Chao then climbed the boulder, condescendingly, looking ahead, but seeing several wounded archers retreating with the support of his companions, he drew three arrows, and Zhang Gong shot three arrows, and the arrows quickly galloped over, hitting the three archers who fled, all of them shot directly through the back of the neck, and their bodies suddenly fell to the ground.

Ma Chao's initiative to come in, immediately attracted a strong response from the enemy, only to hear the Sichuan army shouting, a group of archers from the corner of the mountain road rushed over, saw Ma Chao and others are climbing over the boulder, without saying a word, Zhang Bow and shoot.

"Whoosh ......"

A burst of arrows came quickly, Ma Chao just jumped off the rock, and saw a dense array of arrows in the air, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Pay attention to protection!" ”

With a drop, the shield-bearers raised their shields, the rest reclined behind their shields, and those who had not yet climbed the boulder dodged. After all, they were only more than fifty paces away from the Sichuan army.

A burst of arrows were blocked by the shield, and Ma Chao looked out through the gap in the shield. But seeing that there were more than 60 archers and feet in this archery, they hugged each other in front and back. Standing densely in the mountain road, all the way to the corner of the mountain road.

Seemingly. The Sichuan army has deployed a lot of troops here, and if you want to cross the obstacle of the boulder this time, it will really take a lot of effort, at least you have to clear the archers within a hundred steps, right?

However, the greater the challenge, the more Ma Chao likes it, he never fights unprepared, and the hundred people he brought with him this time are the most elite soldiers under him. Everyone knows how to shoot arrows, and with a shield as cover, they shouldn't take much damage.

For a time, arrows came and went on the narrow mountain road, people were constantly killed by arrows, corpses were everywhere on the mountain road, although the Sichuan soldiers were numerous, but they could not resist the elite army led by Ma Chao, when more than 30 archers were shot to death. The rest of the people were forced to retreat because they couldn't resist the arrows of Ma Chao and the others, and retreated to the corner of the mountain road, not daring to show their heads.

At this time, Ma Chao ordered his subordinates to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly climb over the boulder barrier. A hundred people were unscathed. After a short rest, Ma Chao ordered the shield soldier to move forward, and he followed behind the shield soldier.

The shieldmen kept moving forward. The archers hiding around the corner kept firing, but the arrows were kept out of their shields. It didn't play a blocking role at all, but Ma Chao and others saw the stitches. kept shooting arrows, and the Sichuan soldiers basically fell in response.

The mountain road was narrow and could not gather so many people, so the Sichuan soldiers simply gave up shooting with bows and arrows, held knives and guns, and mustered up the courage to rush forward, wanting to fight Ma Chao and others in close combat.

In this way, it was in the arms of Ma Chao, and the shield soldier at the front held the shield in one hand and drew the steel knife hanging from his waist in the other, but when he saw the cold light, the killing opportunity was revealed.

The shield hand saw the Sichuan soldiers rushing over, roared, and directly held the shield and rushed over, "bang" a loud sound, the shield force was larger, knocked over a few rushing Sichuan soldiers, casually threw the shield, the right hand holding the steel knife danced, and the short and sharp school knife hand around him killed the enemy together, the two of them also superb knife skills, dancing like a gust of wind, but seeing the blood splashed, screaming again and again, the head of the person flew between the knife in his hand, all of them were a hundred.

At the same time, the archers behind Ma Chao kept shooting arrows from a distance, and under the double attack of the shield soldiers, dozens of Sichuan soldiers who were blocking the mountain road were powerless to fight back.

Ma Chao also had itchy hands for a while, but the road here was narrow, and it could only accommodate three people side by side, although there was only a shield soldier and a school knife hand standing in front of him, but the cooperation between the two knives was very tacit, and there was no room for a third person.

Ma Chao continued to shoot the Sichuan soldiers with bows and arrows, cooperating with the battle of the two elite soldiers in front of him.

After a while, the Sichuan soldiers within 100 steps were all killed by Ma Chao and others, and the two soldiers who rushed to the front were already covered in blood, but they were not hurt at all, which shows their brave Cheng Dù.

Zhang Fei built a heavy army on the mountain road here in accordance with the construction of the law, and some huge stones would be piled up every hundred steps to block the road, and within a hundred steps, a hundred soldiers were also arranged, which can be described as one soldier at a time. But such a tight defense failed to block Ma Chao's attack at all, because they ignored one of the most fundamental reasons.

The soldiers placed here are not elite soldiers, if the other side attacks with elite soldiers, then these soldiers may not be able to stand, the most important thing is that the road behind is blocked, and the soldiers who are a hundred steps away cannot be reinforced, except for being able to block the enemy's attack speed and delay time, there is no real big effect.

Ma Chao didn't see through the loopholes in this, he just relied on his courage to avenge his dead subordinates, but when he broke through the first team of 100 people of the Sichuan soldiers, he suddenly had an epiphany and seemed to see hope.

So, Ma Chao boosted morale, replaced the soldiers at the front, and continued to follow the strategy just now, devouring the defensive forces arranged by Zhang Fei little by little, he wanted Zhang Fei to know how powerful he was.

On the tower of Jiameng Pass, Pang De had been looking at the city wall, and when he saw that Ma Chao had advanced a hundred steps, killed the soldiers there, and the army was unscathed, he was also inexplicably excited.

Suddenly, Pound realized something, turned around and went down the tower, and ran quickly to the official office.

"Military division, General Ma won the first battle, he has broken through the enemy's first layer of defense, and now he is launching a fierce attack on the enemy's second layer of defense. It's just that General Ma has few soldiers, and the consumption of his subordinates is also very great, and the last general will gather some elite soldiers to support General Ma at any time to help General Ma open the way to the heart of Shudi! As soon as Pang De entered the official office, he saw Pang Tong standing there, and immediately reported to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong had just sent the song away, and suddenly heard Pang De's announcement, only to feel that his eyes lit up, and said to Pang De: "Let's go, go to the city tower and have a look!" (To be continued......)
