Chapter 68 Ma Chao's First Battle
Although it is only the beginning of summer, the weather is still so hot that it makes people sweat profusely.
On this plain, two soldiers and horses faced off from a distance, with various flags standing in the middle of the army's formation. Looking from a distance, the end of the opponent's formation could not be seen.
Liu Xuan was sitting on a horse in armor, looking at the lineup of the Yellow Turban Army from a distance. He found that although the clothes of the soldiers and horses were not very neat and the weapons were very messy, it ensured that everyone had weapons, and the formation was also considered
In order, the few thieves riding horses back and forth to clean up the formation were somewhat capable.
However, these guys are not the targets that Liu Xuan cares about. His attention is focused on the guy standing in the middle of the formation and actually built himself a chariot.
Things like chariots disappeared from the stage after cavalry gradually became more popular, but they are still very suitable for showing off.
The Nanhua car was obviously used to show off one's identity, because the car was inlaid with gold, silver, coral agate and the like, which shone brightly in the midday sun.
"I'm not afraid of being blinded!"
After looking at it for a while, Nan Hua on the opposite side was obviously sizing him up. It seemed that Nan Hua appeared here in person because of his arrival - Nan Hua also understood that if he didn't show up, no one would be able to deal with Liu Xuan, the current king.
.
In other words, as the two most powerful armed forces, they are also a kind of restraint on each other. If neither of them takes action, it will be fine. But as long as one comes out, if the other fails to respond in time, the consequences will be
It's unbearable.
Therefore, after learning that the emperor's imperial commander was personally conducting the expedition, Nan Hua could not continue to stay in the main camp of the Yellow Turban Army at this time. Instead, he personally led the generals and most of the troops to go north to seek a decisive battle.
Although Nan Hua did not understand any military strategy, he also understood that if he could not force Liu Xuan to come forward and decide the outcome with him, then his plan would not succeed.
He couldn't understand how this young emperor could cultivate to be so powerful. In just twenty years, he could cultivate to a level similar to his own, or even stronger.
Although he could see that the young man was using dragon energy, as he really began to perfect his skills and collect the power of faith, he discovered that although his skills were growing rapidly, there were also many problems.
He was more concerned about the situation of the skills used by the young emperor.
He withdrew his gaze. The one who gave him a headache now was not Liu Xuan, but the person currently fighting in the formation.
In addition to Lu Bu, that young emperor actually trained so many powerful generals. Not to mention Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in the east. Now there is a boy named Ma Chao.
This young man should be the son of Ma Teng from the northwest. Calculating, it shouldn't have been long since he arrived under the emperor's account, and he actually has such strength.
"Is the magic formula really so magical?"
Although he was curious in his heart, it was obviously inappropriate to dwell on this matter now. It was probably another thing that made him irritated.
He glanced to the side and saw a yellow turban general rushing out of the formation with a sword in his hand. Then he looked at Ma Chao from a distance and shouted: "I am Pei Yuanshao, the dog officer shall die!"
Ma Chao didn't take it seriously at first. He had already killed three Yellow Turban generals in a row. Not to mention that he was practicing mystical arts beside the emperor. Even if he was his original self, he would not care about those guys just now.
In his eyes, they are all things that can be killed easily.
But seeing this coming out again, you must be a bit capable, right?
The spear in his hand shook, and a gorgeous spear flower appeared: "Are you worthy?" He clapped his horse to meet him, and as he saw the two horses getting closer and closer, Pei Yuanshao on the opposite side suddenly shouted loudly, with a dazzling yellow light on his body,
Ma Chao unconsciously squinted his eyes, but the spear in his hand showed no signs of slowing down at all. At the same time, this strange phenomenon also let him know that the guy who rushed out this time was a guy with some skills. If he was not careful, he might have hit the opponent's path.
With a flick of the spear, the two horses were about to collide. The sword in Pei Yuanshao's hand on the opposite side was cut down directly. However, although his sword looked extremely fierce, Ma Chao had already guessed the castration, so he moved the horse to avoid it in advance, and at the same time, in his hand
As soon as the spear was retracted and stabbed, a silver light disappeared in a flash, directly bringing up a ball of blood.
But Ma Chao, who stabbed the opponent, was not happy at all. Looking at Pei Yuanshao who was pulling his horse to distance, Ma Chao was a little surprised: "I am quite capable, but I actually dodged it!"
In addition to the opponent's vitality slightly avoiding his shot, Ma Chao also noticed that the moment his gun blade stabbed the opponent, it seemed to be pushed aside by some force, so the last shot was just in
The opponent's waist was rubbed against, and although there was still a wound on the opponent's side, it was just a flesh wound.
This fight lasted only a moment, but in just such a moment, Pei Yuanshao realized the gap between the two. Although the sword in his hand was still dancing fiercely, his eyes began to look to the side - this was
Find an opportunity to escape.
Ma Chao caught up and danced his spear into a ball of silver light. No matter how beautifully Pei Yuanshao danced with his broadsword, he couldn't stop the vicious spear that darted through every crack and left some wounds on his body every time.
After fighting for several rounds, Pei Yuanshao let out a loud roar, and then swung out a fierce sword energy from the sword in his hand. This sword energy attached to the sword, making Pei Yuanshao's sword suddenly seem to have doubled in length, and the sword energy was full of strength. Ma Chao
I had to avoid its sharp edge and move my horse to avoid it.
This hiding gave Pei Yuanshao an opportunity. Seeing that he had forced Ma Chao away with one move, he immediately turned his horse and fled towards the formation.
One was well prepared, and the other was delayed by the sword energy. The distance between the two was immediately widened. It looked like Ma Chao had no chance to catch up with Pei Yuanshao.
"Hey, do you think you can still run away?"
But Ma Chao was unhurried. He didn't even pat his horse to chase. Instead, he handed the long spear to his left hand, touched it with his right hand and then pulled out a short spear from the end of the long spear.
This short spear was slightly different from the long spear usually used, and Ma Chao held the short spear backwards on his shoulder. The blade of the short spear was pointed at Pei Yuanshao, as if he was about to throw it.
"oh?"
Liu Xuan was a little surprised by this posture, especially when Ma Chao pulled out a short spear from his own spear, which made his eyes light up: Ma Chao's spear was nothing unusual, it seemed to be stronger and sharper than ordinary spears. Liu Xuan
I thought Ma Chao’s weapons didn’t have any special abilities!
Now it seems that is not the case, you can actually take out the javelin from the spear...
"Ma Chao was born in the northwest and has Qiang ancestry. I heard that the Qiang cavalry is best at throwing javelins, and its lethality is extremely fierce..."
However, Liu Xuan didn't care much about this matter. No matter how powerful the Qiang cavalry was, how could they be stronger than his own Yulin cavalry? The javelin's lethality was indeed strong, but its biggest flaw was its range.
In the future, when every ordinary soldier in the Yulin Cavalry Company becomes a monk, he will use a specially enhanced bow, which will completely defeat the Qiang cavalry in terms of power and range. Therefore, he has never thought of forming a Qiang cavalry.
The main reason is that the composition of the Qiang cavalry is a foreign race, unless they can be completely absorbed and Chineseized - but after being Chineseized, will these cavalry still retain these powerful habits?
However, today Liu Xuan had the opportunity to witness a trained and powerful warrior demonstrate the javelin skills of the Lancers.
As he was facing forward, he suddenly saw the javelin in Ma Chao's hand light up with a white light, and then turned into a dazzling spear in everyone's astonished eyes, passing through the chest of Pei Yuanshao, who had run far away, with terrifying power.
It tore Pei Yuanshao's body into pieces directly, and he died before he even had time to scream. Even his head, which was flying into the air, still had a look of happiness on his face that he had survived the disaster.
This wasn't the end yet. The white Pilian who had penetrated Pei Yuanshao did not stop his attack but dove into the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, causing a bloody storm. In the end, he didn't know how far he had penetrated before he stopped.
Liu Xuan didn't know how many thieves were killed in this attack, but Ma Chao's blow undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Yellow Turbans.
At this time, even Nan Hua could no longer remain calm. He had already seen that if he could not kill Ma Chao, even this young man could collapse his army.
So Nan Hua didn't hesitate anymore. He took a step forward and suddenly appeared in the battle formation. Then he flipped his palm and found a long sword.
"Young people are too arrogant!"
With a flick of the long sword, a half-moon slash came out - he had learned many tricks from Lu Bu. As long as he knew the principles, he could perform these tricks. There was no limit on the power he could use. Nanhua was not polite and brought them.
use.
Ma Chao didn't seem too surprised when he saw Nan Hua perform the Half Moon Slash. He hit the side of the Half Moon Slash directly with the spear in his hand, trying to break the move. As more and more people practiced in the army, the Half Moon Slash became more and more popular.
There are many people who know this move, so they use it a lot in daily sparring. Of course, Ma Chao knows this move very well and knows the weakness of this move.
But he ignored one thing, and that was the huge gap in skill between himself and Nan Hua. Not only did a shot hit him not smash Ban Yue Zhan Qi Jin, but the strong counterattack force made his hands numb and his entire arm was gone.
perception.
"So strong!"
As soon as this thought came up in his mind, Nan Hua had already rushed in front of him. Ma Chaoqiang clutched his spear and prepared to meet the enemy. He only heard a roar from behind him: "Get out of the way!"
Without having time to think about it, he jumped off the horse with both feet and stepped to the side. He looked behind him and saw that Lu Bu was holding a Fang Tian painted halberd and charging up on a red rabbit horse.
"Old Nanhua, do you still remember Lu Fengxian?"
Before he finished speaking, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and released seven half-moon slashes in one breath. But this was not over yet. Lu Bu jumped up and jumped off the red rabbit horse, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in both hands.
The force hit Nan Hua's head directly.
