Chapter 998 Zitong Strategy Battle

Zhao Yun turned around, his sword eyes shone brightly, and looked at Ma Chao in the city. The eyes of the two seemed to spark in mid-air. Zhao Yun then hung the gun on the saddle, took a pair of five-stone bows, and took three carved arrows in his hand. He put the arrows on the bow. The arrow was like beads, and suddenly shot at Ma Chao. Three arrows were shot one after another, lined up in a line, and shot at Ma Chao. Zhao Yun's archery skills, the barbarians in the city unconsciously exclaimed. Ma Chao's face was cold, and now he also took out three arrows, arrows and beads. Between the lightning and flints, six arrows collided in mid-air. After three violent noises, a group of barbarian soldiers had not recovered. They saw Zhao Yun firing four arrows in a row. The interval between each arrows was very short, and he looked at Ma Chao's body and shot at different positions. Ma Chao's lion's appearance changed slightly. Seeing the four arrows coming, Ma Chao suddenly retreated, hit his bow repeatedly, shot down two arrows, and avoided two arrows, which was very steep. Seeing this, the barbarian soldiers exclaimed in unnoticed. Ma Chao only felt that he had lost his face and was annoy. He caught up with the head of the city and was about to shoot arrows at Zhao Yun. Unexpectedly, during the collision just now, the big bow was damaged. As soon as Ma Chao opened the bow string, the big bow cracked. At this moment, Zhao Yun quickly drew an arrow and aimed at Ma Chao's head and shot it. At the sound of the bow string, when Ma Chao opened his eyes, the arrow had already been shot. Ma Chao was so scared that he lowered his head and dodged. The arrow flew by and shot the red scar on Ma Chao's helmet. The northwest army under the city cheered in unison. The barbarians in the city were all shocked and stunned. Ma Chao was shocked, and the secret road was dangerous. He suddenly came to his senses and heard the continuous sound of the bow string. Ma Chao was as scared as a frightened bird and flashed. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun did not shoot arrows at all, and the northwest army in the city sneered endlessly. Ma Chao was so angry that his lion's eyes were red, and he shouted hybly.

"Zhao Zilong!!! Sooner or later, I will take your head!!!"

Zhao Yun's face was cold, and his calm and clear sword eyes were not ripples at all. He glanced at Ma Chao indifferently and withdrew his troops. Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun's eyes and felt that he didn't seem to pay attention to himself at all, and he roared with anger.

At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the northwest have slowly retreated from the camp. When Zhao Yun rushed back to the camp, it was already the beginning of the night, and the sergeants in the village were making food. Zhao Yun came to visit Wen Han. As soon as he entered the account, he saw that Wen Han was discussing the war with a group of Wen Wu. After worshiping, Zhao Yun walked to the left seat and listened quietly.

"In today's battle, there were many casualties and more than half of the casualties. If it hadn't been for Ma Mengqi's sudden attack, our army would have broken through Zitong City and captured the barbarian king Meng Huo. Humph! This big-eared thief is a good plan. He has sent troops to help the southern barbarians in the future. He must hope that the southern barbarians can stop our army for him. When he has time to stabilize the situation in Yizhou, he will wait for Zhuge Kongming to transfer troops from Jingzhou, and then recover Zitong and the two counties of Brazil in one fell swoop!!

Wen Han's face was dark, and he was furious, like a volcano that was about to erupt. Li You listened to the words, frowned deeply, and said.

"The big-eared thief's heart is so bad that the lord can't prevent it. At present, we should quickly break through Zitong and prepare quickly to stop Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses in Jingzhou in the near future. However, at present, Ma Mengqi has come to help the barbarian army. It is not easy to break through Zitong City. Moreover, if the barbarian reinforcements arrive and the troops are replenished, the battle in Zitong City will be difficult for a long time!!"

When Wen Han heard the words, his face was darker. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a condensed voice.

"Does Zhongwen have a plan to solve the urgent need at hand?"

Li You pondered for a while, walked to the case in front of Wen Han, looked at the map on the case, and then fell into meditation. Wen Han and Wen Wu in the account dare not disturb. For a moment, Li You's eyes lit up, and his finger was on the picture, and he said to Wen Han.

"From the southern barbarian realm to Zitong, the mountain forest is the only place to pass through. The day before yesterday, I explored the terrain here. The mountain forest is intertted with trees and overgrown with weeds. If you attack with fire, even if it is 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will be destroyed. Why don't you set up an ambush here? When his reinforcements enter this dense forest and set fire to them, they will all be extinguished!!"

As soon as Wen Han heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was a smile on the corners of his mouth. However, at this time, Zhao Yun attended and said.

"If there is no Huang Gongheng in the barbarian army, this plan may be successful. This man has a very high strategy and is very familiar with the land of Xichuan. The plan of the former military division was recognized by him.

Li You listened, but smiled indifferently and said in a condensed voice.

"General Zhao doesn't have to worry too much. You have your own strategy to deal with this person. It will be like this at that time. He will be tricked!"

Li You immediately said a plan. Wen Han and Zhao Yun listened to the plan, and they all showed surprise and secretly said it.

It is said that in Zitong City, Meng Huo is holding a banquet to entertain Ma Chao. Ma Chao's martial arts, Meng Huo saw it with his own eyes today, only to know that the name of Xiliang Jinma Chao in the past is not a false name. Ma Chao only attracted thousands of iron riders, but he could rampage in nearly 10,000 northwest troops, like entering a no-man's land, killing the Chinese army, defeating Wei Yan, and killing straight to the northwest back. If it hadn't been for Zhao Yun's rush back to help, it would not have been impossible for Ma Chao to kill Wen Han. How can such a peerless fierce general who can take the head of the enemy within thousands of troops make people not fall in love with it. What's more, barbarians have always respected the strong. Meng Huo treated Ma Chao as if he were a guest, toasting and praising him endlessly. All the barbarians also came to respect and respect them without concealing them. Ma Chao only felt that he had a lot of face, and his affection for Meng Huo and other barbarians increased greatly. Those who came down did not refuse and raised their glasses one by one. Huang Quan looked at it secretly, frowned, and silently cast a winke at Ma Chao, as if to signal that Fang Jin's great enemy was in front of him, and he could not be greedy for wine and pleasure. Ma Chao didn't like it very much. However, he also thought that Huang Quan was extremely relied on by Liu Bei, and he did not dare to make a decision. He said to Meng Huo.

"Although the northwest thieves are repelled today, their army is so powerful that they will make a comeback in no time. The king should prepare for the war quickly to ensure that Zitong is not lost.

Meng Huo listened, laughed, raised his glass and said respectfully.

"Hahaha. Fortunately, Uncle Liu was benevolent and sent the general to save him. The general was so brave that he was unparalleled in the world. In my opinion, he was even better than Wang Lv Fengxian, the general in the past. There is a general sitting in Zitong, how can I worry about it!?"

As soon as Meng Huo's words fell, the barbarians echoed one after another. Ma Chao was happy to hear this, laughed happily, drank a few cups, and felt very happy. Seeing this, Huang Quan frowned and hurriedly attended.

"If the king is so indulgent and has no worries, Zitong will definitely be defeated by the northwest thieves!!"

As soon as Huang Quan said this, the faces of everyone at the table suddenly changed. Meng Huo was very unhappy. He turned to look at Huang Quan and asked angrily in his heart.

"Oh? What did Huang Gong say this!?

Huang Quan bowed his hand and was not moved by Meng Huo's anger. He said in a condensed voice.

"Although our army repelled the thieves in the northwest today, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and most of the 6,000 soldiers were almost lost. Now, with the thousands of soldiers and horses led by General Ma, the strength is only more than 5,000. If the northwest thief comes to attack, what should he do?!"

Ma Chao listened and shouted with a hand.

"The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. If he dares to come, he will fight and kill him back!!"

Meng Huo listened to it and smiled with a big mouth. He didn't want to praise Ma Chao again. Huang Quan listened, but still with his expressionless look, he said slowly.

"Forgive Huang's offense, although General Ma has peerless courage, his army also has General Zhao Zilong, a victorious general. General Ma has had dozens of battles with him in recent years, but he has never had the upper hand. If there is a mistake, what should it be!?"

"Yellow! Public! Horizontal! What you said is that I'm not Zhao Zilong's enemy!?"

When Ma Chao heard the words, he was like a dragon touched by the reverse scales. He got angry, his eyes were red, his fingers were yellow, and he roared angrily. Huang Quan was fearless and stared at Ma Chao. Seeing this, Meng Huo quickly persuaded the two to quit, and then said to Huang Quan.

"Huang Gong doesn't have to worry too much. Although our army is now weak, it has Zitong City, a solid city to defend, and General Ma is in charge. No matter how powerful the thieves in the northwest are, it is difficult to break through Zitong in a few days. A few days later, our reinforcements must have rushed to the realm of Zitong. At that time, the troops will be replenished, and Zitong will be foolproof!"

After listening, Huang Quan meditated for a while, and no longer persuaded him, sighed and left. Meng Huosui, Ma Chao and a group of soldiers drank and had fun until the third watch at night.

The next day, it was just noon. Zhao Yun led a soldier and a horse to the city of Zitong, set up a position, beat the drums, and said bluntly that he was going to fight against the horse. For a while, Ma Chao led the troops out, and the two armies fought against each other. The two of them didn't answer each other. Suddenly, they raised their guns and fought in front of the battle. The two killed dozens of rounds, and the gun shot faster and faster, and the sergeants of the two armies were stunned. However, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are more and more brave in the war. They are powerless and seem to have inexhaustible strength. There were bursts of gun collisions, and the shadows were like electricity, and the collision kept going on. Seeing that the two of them had killed for dozens of rounds again, Ma Chao suddenly stabbed a shot, bumped away, and dragged the gun away.

Zhao Yun saw through Ma Chao's treachery, grabbed the horse, hung the gentian silver gun on the saddle, bowed the arrow, and shot at Ma Chao's back. The bow string roared. Ma Chao heard the sound and his face was shocked. He hurriedly turned around and stabbed it with a shot, hitting the cold arrow shot by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun then fired another arrow to shoot, and Ma Chao pulled his horse back to the front. In the battle of the two armies, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao withdrew their respective armies.

The one-day war is over. In the next day, Zhao Yun led troops to plunder again. Ma Chao heard this and was full of fighting spirit, so he ordered all the troops and rushed out of the city to fight. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came out one after another. The two peerless guns were endlessly against each other. Each of them tried their best to fight. From noon to night, they fought for nearly 300 rounds. The sergeants of the two armies also took a lot of attention. Ma Chao avoided Zhao Yun's stabbing and swept the gun away annoy. Zhao Yun pulled a gun and separated him. Ma Chao took the opportunity to pull his horse away. The lion was a little tired and shouted.

"Zhao Zilong! Do you dare to fight with me for three more rounds tomorrow!?

Zhao Yun's cold face also showed a little fatigue and replied coldly.

"I'm afraid you won't dare to fight tomorrow!!"

Ma Chao heard the words and smiled coldly, so he rushed back to the front and took the army back. Meng Huo saw that Ma Chao was so brave that he could kill as good as Zhao Yun. He admired him even more and held banquets for days. Ma Chao was very proud and said to Meng Huo and other barbarian generals that he would be defeated by Zhao Yun within three days.

In the next two days, Zhao Yun came to fight under the city. Ma Chao fought repeatedly. The two fought under Zitong City for four or five days in a row. Just when the attention of the barbarian army was almost focused on the fierce battle between the two, Huang Quan felt inappropriate. After the fierce battle between the two every day, Huang Quan looked deeply locked. Meng You was secretly aware of it, so he came to see Huang Quan. Huang Quan introduced Meng You to the hall and worshipped him. Meng You opened his mouth and asked.

"Do you have any doubts when you see Mr. Huang's eyebrows are deeply locked these days?"

When Huang Quan heard the words, his eyes, which had no ripples, couldn't help but rise a little strange color. He sighed that Meng You's eyes were unique, and he didn't hide anything at the moment. He answered with his hand.

"To be honest. Someone saw that Zhao Zilong had been fighting with General Ma for days. In addition, there was no movement in the Northwest Army, which was really strange. Normally, although the Northwest Army has the upper hand, its food is insufficient.
