Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 420
As soon as Ma Chao stood up, the morale of the Yizhou Army was greatly boosted.

Ma Chao was injured, these soldiers all knew, otherwise, they would not have retreated hastily when they were outside Tongguan.

But now, they were held back by Tongguan's chasing soldiers, but Ma Chao did not hesitate to make his injuries worse, and stood firmly by the side of the Yizhou soldiers.

As a result, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army were greatly moved, and their fighting power suddenly increased sharply.

Feeling the pressure brought by the Yizhou soldiers, Xu Rong also saw Ma Chao walking towards him.Faintly, Xu Rong felt that a danger was approaching him.

"Spear Thrower, look at the general who is chasing the opponent, throw!" Xu Rong looked at Ma Chao who was slowly approaching step by step, and immediately ordered to the spear thrower beside him.

The spear-throwing warrior was Fazheng's long-standing follower.On the day Xu Rong arrived at Tongguan, he happened to see the tragedy caused by the spear-throwing fighters to the Yizhou soldiers.

At this moment, seeing Ma Chao walking towards the shield formation where he was, Xu Rong naturally hoped that the spear-throwing fighters could kill Ma Chao.However, Xu Rong also knew that if Ma Chao could be killed so easily, he would rush out and confront Ma Chao head-on.

After receiving Xu Rong's order, the spear-throwing warrior quickly separated some of his soldiers and threw the short spear in his hand at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao saw dozens of short spears flying out from the circle, and he didn't dodge. He waved the tiger-headed golden spear in his hand, and pushed all the short spears away.

Sure enough, there was still no way to cause trouble to people at Ma Chao's level.Although Xu Rong said that he had foreseen this situation, when he really found that there was no way to cause any trouble to Ma Chao, Xu Rong was still a little disappointed.

Compared with the shield formation and the spear formation, the shield formation is much weaker.After all, the soldiers in the shield formation are not real pikemen.As long as the soldiers of the Yizhou Army dare to come up and have a try, they will find that this thorny turtle is nothing more than a green fur turtle.

Of course, there is no need to wait for the soldiers of the Yizhou Army to come up to try it now, Ma Chao has already tested the water in the shield formation.

Melee combat is really a weakness for spear throwing warriors, even if they have been specially trained in melee combat by Qu Yi.

But at this time, not to mention that close combat is the weak point of spear throwing fighters, even if these spear throwing fighters don't know anything about close combat, they can only do it like this.

However, fortunately, the soldiers who boarded the camp first had received Qu Yi's melee training.Therefore, no matter what type of arms these soldiers are, they all wear short knives on their bodies.

Seeing that he couldn't get over it, Xu Rong was also decisive, and directly ordered the spear-throwing warriors and shield soldiers to pick up the short knives in their hands, and rushed towards the surrounding Yizhou soldiers than then.

At this time, Xu Rong also approached Ma Chao.Although Xu Rong knew that the gap between himself and Ma Chao was a bit big.But at this moment, if Xu Rong can't come up, who will let him go?

Anyway, Xu Rong is also a general at any rate, even if there is a gap with Ma Chao, he can still entangle him for a while.But if other soldiers are allowed to go up, they will have to die.

Some people may be surprised that the hundreds of soldiers who entered the camp first, not to mention other things, even if they stood up and let Ma Chao come to kill, Ma Chao would have to be exhausted.

But don't forget, Ma Chao is not fighting alone.Beside him, there is a Yizhou army that outnumbers the soldiers in the first camp.Even if half of the Yizhou soldiers were attracted by the long spear formation that entered the camp first, there were more than 1000 Yizhou soldiers besieging the shield formation.

Ma Chao watched Xu Rong attacking towards him, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.Do you really think that you are injured, that any cat or dog can come to lick a tiger's whiskers?
Seeing that Xiandeng's shield formation was broken so easily, the Yizhou soldiers surrounding Xiandeng's spear formation immediately took it for granted that the spear formation in front of them was just the same.In order to earn military merit, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army immediately rushed towards the spear circle in a swarm.

However, what greeted them were not the scattered soldiers who first entered the camp, but spears with cold light and cold crossbow arrows.

The shield array is a fake, and that's only because of the existence of Ma Chao, who will definitely be able to break the shield array.As for the spear formation, it was one of the most powerful formations in the camp first.If the shield soldiers were to form a circle around the spear circle, it would be a complete version of the first camp formation.

In the battle between Ma Chao and Xu Rong, Ma Chao had the upper hand without the slightest doubt.However, Xu Rong's goal is not to compete with Ma Chao, but to contain Ma Chao.

The soldiers who entered the camp first were all elite soldiers, but they didn't suffer at all when facing Yizhou soldiers who were almost twice as large as themselves.

In this case, how can Ma Chao fight Xu Rong with peace of mind?
Why did Ma Chao prefer to go into battle with injuries? Isn't it because he hopes that these Yizhou troops can solve the court's pursuers as soon as possible?
This is a good time. Looking at it like this, not only is there no way to deal with this chasing soldier, but people like myself may fall into it.

Now, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army are still able to stalemate with the imperial court's pursuers for a while because of their large number of people. After a long time, or the second batch of pursuers from Tongguan arrives, Ma Chao and the others will be completely finished.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao immediately accelerated the speed of swinging the spear in his hand, wanting to get rid of Xu Rong as soon as possible.

Xu Rong didn't notice and was immediately hit by the spear in Ma Chao's hand.But even so, Xu Rong had no way to retreat. No matter what, he had to entangle Ma Chao, at least to prevent Ma Chao from using up his strength to break the circle of spears.

But at this time, Qu Yi and his horse rushed towards the place where they first boarded the camp and fought with the Yizhou army.

Knowing that there would be an ambush in the camp first, Qu Yi was very anxious, wishing he could fly directly to the place where the camp is now.

And after that, it was Ye Mo who personally led [-] soldiers, and quickly moved towards the road of pursuing the camp first.Of course, this is said to be fast, but these three thousand are pawns, so how fast can they go?

"My lord, will it be okay for General Xu Rong to go to the camp first?" Ye Mo, Fazheng and others were riding on horses at this time, following the fast-moving imperial infantry, looking a little leisurely.

However, their speed was indeed quite leisurely, but everyone had a worried expression on their face.

After hearing Dao Fazheng's question, Ye Mo glanced forward, as if Ye Mo's eyes could travel through time and space, and saw the scene of going to camp first. "Go to the camp first, they should have been ambushed."

Ye Mo's understatement immediately made Fazheng and the others frown even more. "Sure enough, were you caught in an ambush? But, why is there no worried expression on my lord's face?"

……

When Qu Yi rushed to the place where Xiandeng camp fought with Yizhou soldiers, Xu Rong was already holding on with only one breath.

In a fight with Ma Chao, even if Ma Chao was injured, Xu Rong was not able to catch him.

However, fortunately, at this time, Ma Chao was also a little weak in follow-up because of the previous outbreak, so he didn't kill Xu Rong on the spot.After all, Ma Chao's chest was injured, and after the outbreak of strength, Ma Chao's wound was also opened up.

At this time, although the first boarding camp had a faint intention of starting to counterattack and suppress the Yizhou soldiers, there were only about 900 soldiers left at the first boarding camp.

"Change the formation, spread the stars!" Before Qu Yi and the soldiers who entered the camp first joined up, Qu Yi yelled loudly at the soldiers who entered the camp first.
