Xiaoqi

In the fierce fight, the two horses passed by each other.

Zhang Liao's thick brows were slightly frowned, the corners of his mouth grinned twice, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes, and his right shoulder, holding the knife in one hand, trembled repeatedly.During the previous round, he and Ma Chao fought each other more than ten times, each time with all their strength and fighting bravely.However, compared with Ma Chao's strength, his strength was a bit inferior after all, and he suffered a secret loss in the reckless struggle, so that his right arm was numb at the moment, his chest was oppressed, and his blood was churning, which made him very uncomfortable.

Compared with Zhang Liao who shook his shoulders and moved his arms without any trace, Ma Chao was indeed full of fighting spirit. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, his expression was relaxed, his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to get back on his horse and fight again.

There are indeed differences in human strength. Some people are born with great strength, and coupled with continuous martial arts practice, their strength becomes even more amazing.

And Ma Chao is precisely this kind of person who is born with great strength.

Don't look at Zhang Liao who is also born majestic and burly, with a height of eight feet five inches (about 1.85 meters), but in the competition of strength, he is still not as powerful as Ma Chaoli.

"Da da da!"

Go back and fight again.Zhang Liao had learned his lesson, and the momentum of swinging the knife seemed to be as fierce as before, but he deliberately kept three points of strength and no longer fought head-on with Ma Chao.Instead, the knife walks in a circular arc, closes at the touch of a touch, uses softness to overcome rigidity, and tries to win by virtue of exquisite knife skills.

After three consecutive swings of the gun failed, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.After the first fight just now, he felt that Zhang Liao's strength was not as good as his own. At this moment, Zhang Liao actually took the lead and refused to confront him head-on.

In Ma Chao's view, the long-handled broadsword and even the strong and strong opening and closing momentum dominate the roost. The moves are fierce and powerful, and they are the overlord swords.However, Zhang Liao's saber technique at this time is obviously inferior, he discards the basics and pursues the last, and the saber technique is light and light, with only superficiality but no reality, this is a sign of defeat.

Suddenly, Ma Chao's arm trembled, and when the point of the spear he swung vigorously collided with Zhang Liao's long-handled sword, the point of the spear suddenly lifted, causing the sword in Zhang Liao's hand to miss.Immediately, the silver spear in Ma Chao's hand stabbed in a straight line, heading straight for Zhang Liao's chest.

What a Zhang Liao!

Faced with Ma Chao's sudden change of tactics and the sudden stabbing of the silver spear, Zhang Liao remained unafraid.He swung the handle of the knife horizontally and swung away Ma Chao's long spear, then the blade turned abruptly, and with a backhand swipe, he slashed at Ma Chao's wrist holding the spear.With such a blow, he not only resolved the crisis he was facing, but also made it too late for Ma Chao to block with his gun, so he had to rein in his horse to avoid it.

Xi Yuyu!

Zhang Liao made a backhand strike, and Ma Chao, as he expected, quickly reined in his horse, retracted his gun and returned to defense, actively avoiding this combined attack.

In one round, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao confronted each other nearly twenty times. The fight was fierce and the outcome was undecided.

However, through the first round of confrontation, the two have roughly figured out the strength of the other side, and they already have calculations in their hearts.

The two horses galloped past each other, and then returned to the horses to fight again.

In the midst of attacks with knives and guns, the two sides fought fiercely, fighting for nearly a hundred rounds in a blink of an eye.

Chapter 212

(Thanks to zjm3246, I love Yao Yao Shuyou for their monthly ticket support!)

In front of the two armies.

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao were fighting fiercely, and they fought hard for a hundred rounds without deciding the outcome.

During the fierce battle, Ma Chao's riding skills are superb, and the Ma's gun is both rigid and soft, which is very delicate.In addition, he has great physical strength, and a silver gun is like a silver dragon flying in his hand. He can not only fight head-on with strength, but also deftly and softly.Duan is a titan with superb martial arts.

In comparison, Zhang Liao is not inferior.

Although Zhang Liao is slightly inferior to Ma Chao in terms of talent in martial arts, he has been in the army for many years and has been fighting with Lu Bu for five or six years. He has rich experience in fighting before the battle, and his sword skills are calm and sophisticated.Although he is young now, only in his early twenties, compared to Ma Chao's dissatisfied age, he can be said to be a veteran in the battlefield and has been battle-tested for a long time.

In terms of strength of martial arts alone, Zhang Liao has the strength of a top fighter at the lower level, and there is a certain gap between him and Ma Chao, half a block behind.But this actual strength gap does not mean that he will never be able to defeat Ma Chao, and he will definitely lose.

In the battle of front-line fighters, high martial arts skills are of course very important, but the restrictive factors such as fighting experience, reaction speed and adaptability cannot be ignored, they are indispensable, and even directly affect the success or failure of the battle.Even if it is a strong man whose martial arts is higher than that of his opponent, as long as he makes a slight mistake, he will be enraged on the battlefield and his head will be decapitated.

In front of the Wuwei army.

Li Li watched the fierce fight between Zhang Liao and Ma Chao intently, with admiration flashing in his eyes from time to time.

He not only admired Ma Chao's advanced martial arts, he has now reached a state of great success, and will soon be officially among the top fighters and mid-level powerhouses; he also admires Zhang Liao's exquisite sword skills and sophisticated and calm fighting skills.But in comparison, he cared more about Ma Chao's victory or defeat, because Ma Chao was his general, while Zhang Liao was the enemy general.

I saw that Ma Chao has made great progress in martial arts in half a year.His mind became calmer and calmer, and Li Li was deeply touched and very relieved.Although Ma Chao had once been his enemy, led his army to attack Wuwei County several times, and was seriously injured by his knife twice, but that is all in the past.

Now, Ma Chao is his general under Li Li's command. He has performed well since his surrender and has no intention of rebelling at all.Under the circumstances that he did not allow private transmission of news, Ma Chao really obeyed the military regulations.For half a year, he never secretly sent any news to his father Ma Teng, so Ma Teng still doesn't know that Ma Chao has surrendered to the Wuwei Army.

Based on this alone, Li Li believed that Ma Chao could be trusted, perhaps not enough for him to fully trust him, but he would not randomly suspect Ma Chao.

Lu Yao knows horsepower.It takes a long time to see people's hearts.

It doesn't matter whether Ma Chao really surrendered or not, as long as he doesn't violate military discipline.Do not betray the Wuwei Army.Strictly implement Li Li's military orders, this will work.

Trust is mutual.As long as Ma Chao doesn't leave Wuwei Army for a day and doesn't do anything harmful to the interests of Wuwei Army, Li Li will trust him and reuse him.

Li Li firmly believes that as long as he treats Ma Chao sincerely.Believe in Ma Chao and reuse him. Over time, both parties will be able to build trust.Mutual trust, so that the master and minister are of one heart and one mind.

In all fairness, Li Li has high expectations for Ma Chao and values ​​him very much.There are many complicated factors in this, perhaps because Li Li came from later generations, or because Ma Chao is the same age as him, is also a hot-blooded boy, and Ma Chao's stubborn and tenacious character, and so on.

"My lord, Ma Chao has been practicing martial arts recently, and he is still studying military books at night. Now his martial arts skills have surpassed that of the last general. The last general is willing to give up the position of deputy commander to Ma Chao. Please allow me, my lord!"

Just as Li Li was thinking about something, Tietuo whispered beside him.

Hearing this, Li Li turned to look at Tietuo in astonishment, and saw that his expression was sincere and resolute, and his eyes were clear and open.

Immediately, Li Li showed a gratified smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Tie Tuo, you are selfless in your heart, and you are able to give up the talents, which shows that you are completely competent as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard. As for how to appoint Ma Chao, this general has his own discretion." Don't worry, you don't have to give up the position of deputy commander.

Sooner or later, our Wuwei Army will grow stronger, and we will need a large number of generals to lead our troops in battle.Therefore, I am only worried that there will be no good generals, but I will not be stingy with military positions. As long as he is a capable general, I will definitely give him the place to use his skills and the position he deserves!Hehehe"

After hearing these words, Tietuo looked very excited.

However, he looked at Ma Chao, who had already gained the upper hand in front of the battle, and said firmly, "Master, Ma Chao is indeed a great general. The general has self-knowledge and is inferior to him in all aspects. Please agree to the request of the general." !"

Li Li smiled and said: "You are forcing the palace! To tell you the truth, the Jinyi Guard is different from other battalions in the army. It is the personal guard battalion of the general. There are not many battles in peacetime. If it is not necessary, it will not be easy. And Ma Chao is indeed very good, with high martial arts skills and good fighting skills, but Jin Yiwei is not suitable for him. If you let him stay by the general's side all day, his talent will be buried instead, and there will be no use for him.

It just so happened that Bocai formed a new group of Xiutu iron cavalry, and there was no suitable commander yet. After many matters in Chang'an City were settled, Ma Chao was sent to serve in the Xiutu camp.As for his specific position, it depends on how much he can achieve in this battle.

It is an iron law in the army to reward meritorious deeds.Otherwise, even if the general appoints him as the commander, it is still unknown whether he will be able to convince the crowd.If he can't convince the crowd, wouldn't the general let others know, be incompetent? "

"My lord's words are very true. The general will not think carefully, please punish me, my lord!" Tituo said respectfully.

Li Li looked at the battle in front of the formation and said, "There is nothing wrong with recommending Ma Chao. Well, Ma Chao has already won the battle, and Zhang Liao can't hold it anymore!"

In front of the two armies.

After 130 rounds of the battle between Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was completely suppressed, and his attacks became more and more fierce, holding the upper hand.

Zhang Liao kept fighting calmly, trying to find Ma Chao's flaws and defeat the enemy with one blow.

It's a pity that after being severely injured by Li Li twice, Ma Chao's personality changed drastically. When fighting, he was calm and steady, so that Zhang Liao had no openings to find. danger.

This does not mean that Zhang Liao is not brave, nor does he not try his best, but that Ma Chao's martial arts are indeed superior to his.The disparity in strength, coupled with Ma Chao's calm and steady battle, made Zhang Liao invulnerable and difficult to win.

At the 136th round, Zhang Liao was once again hit by Ma Chao's spear on the knife pole, causing him to almost let go of the knife.

After finally getting away, Zhang Liao knew that he had no chance of defeating Ma Chao, but Lu Bu didn't say a word before the battle, his face was as gloomy as frost, and he didn't have the slightest intention to call him back to the battle.

In desperation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to his horse to fight Ma Chao again.

"Da da da!"
