【Chapter 212】 The right-hand man of the dragon fights
(Thanks to Zjm3246, I love Yao Yao's monthly pass support!) )―――
The two armies are in front.
Zhang Liao and Ma Chao fought fiercely, fighting for 100 rounds without a victory.
In the fierce battle, Ma Chao's riding skills are exquisite, and Ma's gun is both rigid and soft, which is very exquisite. In addition, he has great strength, and a silver spear is like a silver dragon flying in his hand, which can not only be strong and strong, but also dexterous and feminine spear to pick and stab, and the marksmanship is endlessly changing, and it can be put away from the heart. Duan is a fierce general with superb martial arts.
In contrast, Zhang Liao is not inferior.
Although Zhang Liao is slightly inferior to Ma Chao in terms of martial arts talent, he has been in the army for many years and has been fighting with Lu Bu for five or six years. Although he is not very old now, only in his early twenties, compared to Ma Chao's age of less than eighteen, he can be described as a veteran of the battlefield and has been in battle for a long time.
In terms of the strength of martial arts alone, Zhang Liao has the strength of the top warriors at the peak of the lower rank, and there is a certain gap with Ma Chao, a difference of half a grade. But this actual difference in strength does not mean that he will never be able to defeat Ma Chao, and he will definitely lose.
In the battle of the generals in front of the battle, the strength of martial arts is of course crucial, but the constraints such as combat experience, reaction speed and adaptability can also not be ignored, and are indispensable, and even directly related to the success or failure of the battle. Even if he is a strong man whose martial arts are higher than his opponent, as long as he makes a slight mistake, he will hate the battlefield and be in a different place.
In front of the Wuwei army.
Li Li watched the fierce battle between Zhang Liao and Ma Chao with a focused expression, and his eyes flashed with appreciation from time to time.
He not only praised Ma Chao's martial arts refinement, but now he has tended to the realm of great success, and will soon officially rank among the top generals and mid-level powerhouses; He also admired Zhang Liao's exquisite knife skills and Lao Lao's calm fighting skills. However, in contrast, he is more concerned about Ma Chao's victory or defeat, because Ma Chao is the general under his command, and Zhang Liao is the enemy general.
saw Ma Chao's martial arts in half a year. His heart became more and more calm and calm, and Li Li was deeply touched and very pleased. Although Ma Chao had been his enemy, led the army to attack Wuwei County several times, and was seriously injured by his sword twice, it was all in the past.
Now, Ma Chao is a general under his Li Li, and he has been performing well since his surrender, without the slightest intention of rebellion. Under the circumstance that he was not allowed to spread the news privately, Ma Chao really complied with military regulations. In the past six months, he has never secretly passed the news to his father Ma Teng, so that Ma Teng still does not know that Ma Chao has surrendered to the Wuwei Army.
Based on this, Li Li believes that Ma Chao can be trusted, maybe not enough for him to trust completely, but he will not be suspicious of Ma Chao indiscriminately.
The road knows the horsepower. A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.
Regardless of whether Ma Chao surrendered sincerely or not, as long as he does not violate military discipline. Do not betray the Wuwei Army. Strict implementation of Li Li's military orders, this can be used.
Trust is two-sided. As long as Ma Chao does not leave the Wuwei Army for a day and does not do anything harmful to the interests of the Wuwei Army, Li Li will trust him and reuse him.
Li Li firmly believes that as long as he treats Ma Chao sincerely. Believe in Ma Chao and reuse it, and over time, both sides will be able to build trust. Trust each other, so that the lord and the minister are of one heart and one mind.
Speaking from his heart, Li Li has high expectations for Ma Chao and values him very much. There are many complicated factors in this, perhaps because Li Li comes from later generations, or because Ma Chao is the same age as him and is a hot-blooded man, as well as Ma Chao's stubborn and tenacious character, and so on.
"Lord, Ma Chao has been practicing martial arts recently, and he is still studying military books at night, and now his martial arts have surpassed the last general. The last general is willing to give up the post of deputy commander to Ma Chao, please ask the lord to agree! ”
Just as Li Li was thinking about his thoughts, Tie Tuo whispered on the side.
Li Li turned his head to look at Tie Tuo in shock when he heard this, and saw that his expression was sincere and resolute, and his eyes were clear and open.
Immediately, Li Li showed a pleased smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Tie Tuo, you can be selfless in your heart and be virtuous, which shows that you are completely competent as the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei." As for how Ma Chao is appointed, General Ben has his own plans, and you don't have to give up the post of deputy commander.
Sooner or later, our Wuwei army will develop and grow, and a large number of generals will be needed to lead the troops to fight. Therefore, I am only worried that there is no good general, but I will not be stingy with military positions, as long as he is a capable general, I will definitely give him a place and a proper position! Hehehe--"
After hearing this, Tie Tuo's expression was quite excited.
However, he looked at Ma Chao, who had already gained the upper hand in front of the battle, and said with a resolute expression: "Lord, Ma Chao is indeed a great general, and the last general is self-aware, and his ability in all aspects is inferior to him." Please also ask the lord to agree to the invitation of the last general! ”
Li Li smiled and said, "You are forcing the palace!" Let me tell you the truth, Jin Yiwei is different from other battalions in the army, it is the general's personal guard battalion, and there are not many battles in peacetime, so if it is not necessary, it will not be easy to fight. And Ma Chao is indeed very good, strong in martial arts, and good at fighting, but Jin Yiwei is not suitable for him. If he is allowed to stay by the general's side all day, it will bury his talent and make it useless.
It just so happened that Bo Cai's account had newly formed a Hutu Iron Cavalry, and there was no suitable commander, and after many things in Chang'an City were dealt with, Ma Chao was asked to go to the Hutu Camp to serve. As for what position he holds, it depends on how much he can achieve in this battle.
In terms of rewarding meritorious deeds, this is an iron law in the army. Otherwise, even if General Ben appointed him as commander, it is still unknown whether he will be able to serve the public. If he can't convince the people, isn't the general unknown and incompetent? ”
"What the lord said is very true. In the end, if you don't think it through, please punish the Lord! Tie Tuo said respectfully.
Li Li looked at the battle in front of the battle and said, "You recommend Ma Chao, what's wrong." Well, Ma Chao is already winning, Zhang Liao can't support it! ”
――――――――――――――――
The two armies are in front.
After one hundred and thirty rounds of fighting between Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was completely suppressed, and his attacks became more and more ferocious, gaining the upper hand.
Zhang Liao has been calmly attacking, trying to find Ma Chao's flaws and defeat the enemy with one blow.
It's a pity that Ma Chao's personality changed greatly after being hit twice by Li Li, he was not impatient or impatient during the battle, he fought steadily, and he was stunned that Zhang Liao had no flaws to find, and he forced Zhang Liao to an extremely passive situation step by step, and was in danger.
This can't be said that Zhang Liao is not brave, and it is not that he did not do his best, but Ma Chao's martial arts are indeed above him. The gap in strength, coupled with Ma Chao's calm battle, step by step, made Zhang Liao impeccable and difficult to win.
In the one hundred and thirty-sixth round, Zhang Liao was once again smashed on the blade by Ma Chao's spear, causing him to almost get out of his long knife, the tiger's mouth cracked, the blood flowed like an infusion, and his body shook violently.
After finally getting out, Zhang Liao knew that he didn't have any chance of defeating Ma Chao, so Lu Bu didn't say a word in front of the battle, his face was gloomy like frost, and he didn't have the slightest intention of summoning him back to the battle.
Forced to be helpless, Zhang Liao could only go back to Ma Chao and fight again.
"Da Da Da!"
In the sound of the horse's hooves, Zhang Liao was also ruthless, slapped the horse's belly with the back of the knife, and ran towards Ma Chao with a knife. At this time, his face was hideous, his eyes were fierce, and he was running with a crazy color, but there was a bit of tragic momentum in the madness.
"Phew! Well done! ”
Ma Chao saw Zhang Liao rushing over frantically, not only was he not afraid, but he shouted loudly and rushed forward on his horse.
"Bang Bang!"
In the loud bang, Ma Chao swung his gun and struck a powerful blow, shocking Zhang Liao's slashing knife, and then rushing and stabbing frequently, as fast and fierce as a silver snake spitting letters, forcing Zhang Liao to hurriedly parry, his body swayed left and right, and his feet were in chaos.
When the two horses staggered, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his left hand. Unexpectedly, at this time, an exclamation suddenly came from his own army formation behind him, and then a strong air flow broke through the air in an instant, hitting his back.
"Back to the pistol!"
"Wen Yuan be careful--"
When the war horse staggered by, Ma Chao's figure was steep and then he lay on his back on the horse, and then with a soft scream, the silver spear in his right hand stabbed out on his back, and stabbed straight at Zhang Liao's back, who was a few steps away.
When it was extremely dangerous, Zhang Liao didn't have time to think about it, he was short, lying sideways on the horse's back, trying to dodge Ma Chao's sudden return to the horse.
"Poof!"
"Sizzle--"
Zhang Liao, who was lying on horseback sideways, dodged Ma Chao's fatal shot, but he couldn't retreat after all. The silver spear blade that Ma Chao stabbed pierced his left thigh, and the tip of the spear pierced several inches, and blood burst out, causing severe pain.
The moment the sharp weapon penetrated through his body, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth, and he bit his lower lip in pain, and there was a sizzling sound in his mouth. For a moment, he hugged the horse's neck tightly with his left hand, and his legs clamped tightly around the horse's belly, causing the horse to neigh and gallop.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao are opposites, otherwise Ma Chao can pick him off the horse with this shot, and even if he doesn't die, he will fall off the horse and be captured.
"Humph!" At the moment when the silver spear was pulled out of his thigh, Zhang Liao frowned, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and hit his horse and went straight to the wolf cavalry formation in Bingzhou.
When he rushed to the formation on horseback, Zhang Liao's face was covered with cold sweat under severe pain, even so, the bloody wound on his thigh still made him tremble in pain, and the corners of his mouth were cold.
"Zhang Liaoxiu is leaving!"
Ma Chao succeeded in one blow, hurriedly returned to the horse, and shouted angrily while chasing Zhang Liao while beating the horse.
"Drive!"
"Ma Chao'er is rampant, a certain Gao Shun is coming to fight you!"
In front of Lu Bujun's formation, the person who had just shouted to remind Zhang Liao was Gao Shun. At this moment, he saw Ma Chao riding his horse to chase Zhang Liao, and immediately rode his horse out of the military formation without waiting for Lu Bu's order, holding an iron long knife, and rushed towards Ma Chao with a loud shout.
"Gao Shun?" In front of Li Li's army, Li Li saw that the lieutenant general of Lu Bu's army who rescued Zhang Liao was Gao Shun, and he immediately groaned.
Hearing this, Tie Tuo asked in surprise, "Does the lord know him?" ”
Staring at Gao Shun hundreds of steps away, Li Li said with a smile: "You mean Gao Shun? No, I didn't know him before, but I know him now. I have long heard that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are Lu Bu's right-hand men, and they are extremely brave, and I have not seen them with my own eyes until today! Hehehe、、、、、、 right-hand man!
