The Xiliang soldiers shouted in unison and followed Yan Ba down the mountain. Who wouldn’t be happy to see the credit coming to them
Yan Ba had defeated Ma Chao before, and his confidence increased greatly. He thought he was invincible in Xiliang. He was eager to kill the general and establish his authority, so he rushed to the camp gate first.
The defenders at the gate were panicked, shot arrows in panic, and turned to flee. This posed no threat to the cavalry, who broke through the camp gate and rushed into the camp.
Yan Ba rushed into the village and saw figures everywhere. The Di people were running in panic, just like the last time. He laughed angrily and said, "You all must die this time!"
He was urging his horse to charge towards the largest tent when he suddenly felt empty under him. Before he could react, he and his horse fell into a big pit.
The cavalrymen behind could not see the situation clearly in the dark and fell into the pit. Yan Ba was buried at the bottom, and before he could climb out, he was pinned down by the horses and men. Even though he had supernatural powers, he was helpless at this moment.
"What a stupid cow! He never learns his lesson!"
Ma Le saw Yan Ba buried in a big pit in the big tent. He shook his head and sighed, then raised a torch and walked out of the tent to give a signal.
This camp was littered with horse traps and caltrops. If anyone broke in at night, they would get hurt, let alone horses.
The Xiliang army was in chaos and panic. Torches were lit all around the camp and arrows were fired, including flaming arrows. The Xiliang army suffered another devastating blow.
At this time, Yan Xing also arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw that it was pitch black all around, with only a little light on the top of the mountain. Yan Ba had already chased him up the mountain, so he did not dare to chase him rashly.
Even though he wanted to capture Ma Chao immediately, he was still uneasy at this moment. He was about to send an order to recall Yan Ba when suddenly a soldier on the hill shouted, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!"
Yan Xing's heart sank. He turned his horse around without hesitation and shouted, "Retreat!"
"Yan Xing, now that you're here, do you still want to leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw torches lit up in the dense forest ahead, and a man rode out on his horse. It was Ma Chao.
Yan Xing's eyes were slightly stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Ma Chao, you finally showed up!"
"Hahaha, I've been waiting here for a long time!" Ma Chao shouted, "You ungrateful people, today is the day you die."
Yan Xing snorted coldly: "Don't think that you can survive with the help of the Di people. I think today is the day you die."
"Go to hell!" Ma Chao was furious, thrusting his spear and urging his horse forward.
Although Yan Xing was also skilled in martial arts, he knew he was no match for Ma Chao, so he stepped back and shouted, "Capture and kill Ma Chao, and there will be a huge reward!"
With the huge reward, even though Ma Chao was famous, the Xiliang army was not afraid of death and went forward to besiege him together.
Yan Xing laughed loudly and said, "Ma Chao, I still have 10,000 elite soldiers. What can you use to fight me? You will die this time..."
Before he could finish his words, there were sudden screams behind him, and people and horses were thrown into chaos. Another army was coming from the same direction, and the rear team was in chaos.
Yan Xing held up his gun and shouted, "Who is attacking us?"
The soldier hurried over to report: "General, it's Ma Dai!"
"It's finally my time to make a contribution!" Yan Xing was quite confident in his battle against Ma Dai, and immediately led his troops to attack them in the direction they came from.
Under the firelight, Ma Dai brandished a sword and charged out from the chaotic army. The soldiers were unable to resist and some were even pushed off the cliff.
Yan Xing roared and thrust his spear forward. The two men fought on the mountain road for more than ten rounds without a clear winner.
Suddenly, a bright moon rose over the eastern mountain. Xu Shu was observing the situation from the hillside. He saw that the valley was full of people, crowded with people. The Xiliang army was fighting at the front and rear, while the rest were crowded at the foot of the mountain, unable to move forward or backward.
At the command, arrows rained down from the mountain. The arrows could not be distinguished in the moonlight. Countless people screamed and fell off their horses. The whole army was in complete chaos.
Ma Chao led his troops and charged forward, killing the Xiliang army without them having the chance to fight back. Wherever he passed, people and horses fell to the ground. The soldiers hurriedly abandoned their horses and hid in the mountains and forests.
Xu Shu and others killed Ma Chao from under his feet, and then ordered to attack. Huge rocks and logs fell, splitting the Xiliang army into two. Rockets were shot from the rear, and a fire spread in a blink of an eye.
Yan Xing was fighting with Ma Dai when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him. Turning around, he saw Ma Chao rushing towards him. He immediately became panic-stricken. He was already struggling against Ma Dai, so wouldn't Ma Chao's coming be courting death
Ma Chao saw it clearly and could not fight in the chaos of the army, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the back of Yan Ba's heart.
Ma Dai led his troops to block the road, surrounded the Xiliang army and pursued them. Ma Chao chased Yan Xing closely. Just as he turned the mountain pass, he saw a group of people blocking the way in front of him. It was Pang De.
Just now, Pang De ambushed and lured the enemy, leading Yan Ba to the mountain, and then returned to the original place from the back mountain to prevent anyone from escaping.
Yan Xing was anxious to escape at this time, and did not bother to ask questions. He rushed forward with his spear in hand. Pang De rode forward and raised his sword to block, but there was a loud bang, and he was almost knocked off his horse.
"You... who are you?" Yan Xing was horrified. This man's martial arts was even better than Ma Dai's.
"A traitor doesn't deserve to know my name!" Pang De snorted coldly and swung his sword.
Yan Xing hurriedly fought back, and became more and more frightened as the fight went on. He had no idea that there was such a master hidden in Ma Chao's army, whose martial arts might be comparable to Ma Chao's.
He had been feeling uneasy these days, and he had been poorly eating and drinking for days, and was hit by an arrow in the back. How could he withstand Pang De's fierce attack? After ten rounds, he was sweating profusely and could not hold on any longer.
At this time, Ma Chao had already attacked from behind, and rode forward. Before he got close, he pulled out an iron chain from his arms and threw it forward.
Crash-
Amid a series of crisp sounds, I saw that there was a fist-sized iron hammer with spikes on the iron chain, which hit Yan Xing's back hard.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Yan Xing saw stars and vomited blood. He turned around and pointed at Ma Chao, cursing: "Ma Chao, you, you are despicable, sneak... sneak attack!"
Before he finished speaking, Pang De rode forward and beheaded Yan Xing with one stroke of his sword. The personal soldiers who followed him were horrified and rode into the woods.
"This horse is yours!" Ma Chao put away the meteor hammer and galloped past Pang De.
Pang De's face was gloomy. He changed his mount to Yan Xing's and continued to guard the intersection. These were Han Sui's old subordinates and confidants. If they were not completely eliminated, they would escape and come back again.
Ma Chao led ten personal guards out of the valley and headed straight for Baihu Ridge. He saw Agui fighting with others on the slope and rushed straight into the chaotic army.
It turned out to be Cheng Yi who was retreating. Seeing that the camp was destroyed and Yan Xingshun did not return to the mountain, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly led his troops to retreat, but was ambushed by Agui again.
"Cheng Yi, you dog thief, how dare you carry me on your back?" Ma Chao shouted and charged out with his spear.
Cheng Yi was fighting with Agui when he heard a shout and turned around to see Ma Chao coming to kill him. He was so frightened that he panicked and was knocked off his horse by Ma Chao's spear.
The remaining Xiliang troops had no way to advance or retreat, and were attacked by the two men. Countless of them were killed or wounded. Only a few of them fled in a panic, crying and shouting.
"General Shenwei is truly powerful!" Agui was convinced. He and Cheng Yi fought to a draw, but in front of Ma Chao, he was so vulnerable.
Ma Chao stood on the hilltop alone, the night breeze was cool, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, it was like a wolf howling at the moon, and said slowly: "From now on, it is time for me, Ma Chao, to take revenge."
