Chapter 33 The Only Choice

The vast grassland is boundless.

Whether it is a mouse chased by a cat or a cat that teases a mouse. This grassland is an impeccable place.

Three days later, Yan Xing no longer had the leisurely and proud look and began to let his men divide their troops.

These three days have been hit hard by Yan Xing. Ma Chao's 5,000 elite riders were one and two before they met Yan Xing. Obviously, it was expected that the Qiang people would take revenge and prepared the rogue posture for escape in advance. In the next three days, Ma Chao and divided his troops to disturb Yan Xing's judgment. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he harassed him, and sometimes he put on a decisive battle posture, but when Yan Xing launched a charge, he turned around and fled.

The only siege was when Ma Chao marched after the first rain, he was chased by Yan Xing for the horseshoe seal.

At that time, Yan Xing's tens of millions of troops had actually completely surrounded Ma Chao's troops. The east, west and south sides shouted to cover up, while the north deliberately did nothing. According to Yan Xing's many years of experience, the 15-year-old Ma Chao definitely broke out to the north, but Ma Chao seemed to see through Yan Xing's scheme at a glance and led 5,000 iron riders to kill a bloody road from the relatively fragile black water Qiang and escape from the sky. That time, Yan Xing couldn't wait to cut off the head of the leader of Black Water Qiang!

After several times, as the weather gradually cleared up, the trace was no longer easy to trace. Ma Chao also seemed to be smart and bold. Not only did he become more and more elusive, but he even harassed the provocative army more than once.

Ma Chao is like a mouse that ate **. He grabbed the opportunity and bit the cat, and then immediately fled thousands of miles before the cat could react, making the cat angry but helpless.

Finally, today, Yan Xing has given up his plan to kill Ma Chao with a large army and intends to intercept Ma Chao with troops. Of course, Yan Xing's division was also very cautious. He divided the army into four teams, each of which had more than four times the number of Ma Chao. In Yan Xing's view, even if Ma Chao is cunning, as long as he is entangled by one of them, the three troops will quickly encapture from all places, which will definitely make Ma Chao unable to escape!

"The three leaders, Ma Chao is as cunning as a fox, and there are also many tribes covering Ma Chao on the grassland. Our troops are divided into four routes. Remember not to fight alone and keep in touch with Ma Chao at all times. Once we find the traces of Ma Chao, we will immediately notify the other three troops to come to encircle and kill!"

"No!" In these three days, Yan Xing was not completely harvested. At least, after these three days, the leaders of these three Qiang tribes fully recognized Yan Xing's military ability. At this time, Yan Xing ordered, and the three of them were not rebellious.

At this time, Ma Chao, who is a hundred miles away, is also not easy.

The previous heavy rain made Ma Chao have no way to eliminate his deeds. Although Ma Chao successfully broke through that time, he also lost more than 1,000 people. After that, Yan Xing, who was angry, forced and doubled day and night, making Ma Chao exhausted. If Ma Chao hadn't inherited the cavalry skills of Xiliang Zhijin in history, coupled with his boldness and carefulness, he would have retreated, chased the enemy, stationed me and harassed the enemy, and I fought when the enemy was tired!' The essence of this 16-character guerrilla war has been fully interpreted. I'm afraid that I didn't know how many times I had died in the siege of the army.

But even so, Ma Chao can't stand such a war of consumption, not to mention that Yan Xing has a home advantage, which can facilitate supply. The gap in the number of people makes Ma Chao unable to see the possibility of winning at all.

So, when the detective returned the news ahead, Ma Chao felt a little relaxed.

"Young master, five miles ahead, to the east is the road back to Han, and to the west is the camp of the Huangyangqiang tribe. And hundreds of miles, no trace of the enemy has been found yet. The detective hasn't quoted a drop of water for more than half a day, and there have been a lot of blisters on his cracked lips. However, although his expression was tired and haggard, his eyes still flashed with an immortal fighting spirit.

"Well, it's good. There's still some water here. You can drink it first." Ma Chao reached out and untied his sheepskin and handed it to the detective.

"Young master, I'm not thirsty..." The detective did not take over Ma Chao's water bag and obviously lied back.

"If I ask you to drink, you can drink it. In this deal with the Tieqiang League, it's all up to you to find out your whereabouts in advance regardless of life and death. If you don't drink water, how can you act as our eyes!" Ma Chao said angrily, and his throat was as painful as a knife. After all, he hasn't drunk water for two days.

The detective took over the water bag. After just taking a small sip, he handed the water bag to Ma Chao: "Young master, you should also drink some to moisten your throat."

Ma Chao clearly saw that the detective's eyes flashed with a kind of regret of 'the death of a confidant'. Under his feelings, Ma Chao also took a small sip of water and slowly let the coolness slowly slide into his throat before discussing with Pound beside him, "Ring Ming, according to your opinion, how should we choose?"

"Young master, no enemy has been found within a hundred miles at this moment, indicating that the enemy will not catch up with us for at least a day. At this time, he returned to Handi and went straight into Fufeng, which was also at that time. Pound was also tired at this time, and his face was carved again by the wind on the grassland in the past few days, making Pound more cold and resolute. At this time, when he heard Ma Chao's question, he said his opinion without hesitation.

"What if I decide to march west?" A cunning smile appeared on Ma Chao's face and asked.

"West? The West is the Yellow Yangqiang tribe!" Pound was immediately shocked by Ma Chao's question and shouted despite the pain in his throat.

"Do you all think that going north is a dead end?" Ma Chao asked again.

"Hmm." Pound nodded back.

"That's right!" Ma Chao hit his palms and said in a hey voice, "I think Yan Xing will think so. There is no trace of Yan Xing in a hundred miles, so it doesn't mean that Yan Xing is not waiting for us on Handi Avenue a hundred miles away!"

"Pound."

"There."

"You are ordered to lead 2,000 people to ambush directly near the Huangyangqiang tribe and lead the army to cover up when our army attacks and kills the Huangyangqiang tribe."

"No!" Pound still doesn't understand Ma Chao's intention at this time? I just feel that my young master is really a military wizard, and he dares to walk in such a biased way!

"Wait for the rest of the people, follow me west and rest on the spot before dark."

This is a big gamble!

Ma Chao bet that even Yan Xing is smart and fierce enough!

Through these days of fighting, Ma Chao has deeply learned Yan Xing's ability and gradually understood some of Yan Xing's personality characteristics.

At the beginning, Yan Xing set up a plan to attack three missing one, and it can be seen that Yan Xing is a very calculating general. At this time, although Yan Xing can't figure out his position, he will wait for the rabbit on the road back to Han. And if Ma Chao chooses to move east, not to mention that he will definitely let Yan Xing wait for his work. Just say that you have the chance to escape back to Fufeng, what should you do after that? Let Yan Xing lead 70,000 troops to Fufeng County?

No, that's by no means the result Ma Chao wants!

Now that I have captured Fufeng County, I must ensure that Fufeng County is far away from the war from now on, so that the people of Fufeng County can believe that the Xiliang Ma family has the ability to protect Fufeng County from being poisoned by war, so as to win the hearts of the people of Fufeng County and then carry out their own development plan step by step.

Therefore, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer tiger mountains. It is Ma Chao's only choice!
