At this moment, Ma Chao was focused on capturing Jiang Wei and offering it to Mi Yang. He couldn't see the cold arrows coming towards him quickly.
This is also the reason why the person who released the cold arrow released the cold arrow at this moment.
It's just that although he can't see it with his eyes, as a general of Ma Chao's caliber, he has already developed a keen sense of danger after fighting on the battlefield for many years.
Just when the cold arrow was about to hit Ma Chao, this keen sense made Ma Chao instantly react, knowing that a huge danger was approaching him.
Although he didn't know what this huge threat was, with Ma Chao's battlefield experience, he quickly made an action based on instinct.
I saw Ma Chao suddenly turning sideways towards the side of the horse under his crotch. As he turned sideways, Ma Chao relied on his superb riding skills to use his thick arms to hug the running horse's back.
At this moment, he almost hung his entire body in mid-air on the side of the horse's back.
The rush caused by the horse's running did not make Ma Chao unstable and fall off the horse. On the contrary, Ma Chao's body hanging on the side of the horse's back was as stable as walking on flat ground.
All this sounds complicated, but with Ma Chao's riding skills, it can actually be completed in an instant.
And just after Ma Chao completed this series of unimaginable actions, the cold arrow that was speeding towards him happened to scrape three feet above the saddle and shot towards the rear.
That place was originally Ma Chao's key point, but due to Ma Chao's superb evasive action, this cold arrow undoubtedly shot through the air.
Only after this cold arrow passed by did Ma Chao realize what danger he had just faced.
After noticing the cold arrow, Ma Chao relied on his superb riding skills to get on his horse. After getting on the horse, Ma Chao immediately looked in the direction of the cold arrow.
It's okay not to look, but anger immediately appeared on Ma Chao's face.
Strong end!
It turns out that this guy was the one who led the Qiang and Di men to assist Jiang Wei this time.
Ma Chao had interacted with many Qiang and Di leaders in his life, but Qiang Duan was the one he remembered the most.
I think back then, Qiang Duan was also one of the many Qiang and Di leaders who followed Ma Chao, but Qiang Duan was also the one who betrayed him most ruthlessly.
During the Battle of Xia Bian, Ma Chao suggested that if the Han army was defeated, they could retreat from Yinping County to Hanzhong, because Qiang Duan was a trustworthy person.
At that time, Zhang Fei adopted Ma Chao's suggestion.
But what I didn't expect was that when the Han army was defeated, Wu Lan and Lei Tong, two generals, led the army to retreat into Yinping according to Ma Chao's plan.
However, their army was attacked by Qiang Duan in a surprise attack. Because they believed that Qiang Duan was a man who had a heart for the Han Dynasty, generals Wu Lan and Lei Tong did not take any precautions at all.
In this case, not only Wu Lan and Lei Tong were killed by the strong end, but also the thousands of Han troops were slaughtered by the strong end.
The most important thing is that thousands of corpses of Han soldiers were forcibly built into the capital to please his new master.
When the news came back to Hanzhong, it caused an uproar.
Naturally, at that time, everyone's suspicion of Ma Chao reached its peak again.
It is no exaggeration to say that given the turbulent public sentiment at the time, it was possible that Liu Bei would directly push Ma Chao out and chop him down.
But fortunately Liu Bei was a wise king and he did not do such a thing.
But despite this, Ma Chao's life at that time could be regarded as hanging by a thread.
And all this is caused by the strong end.
As the leader of a foreign race, Qiang Duan betrayed him, which actually did not surprise Ma Chao.
After all, aliens are best at relying on the strong.
But the difference between Qiang Duan and others is that while he betrayed himself, he also deliberately did that kind of thing. Wasn't that a design to kill him?
How could Ma Chao not gnash his teeth in hatred for such a villain?
Come to think of it, the reason why Qiang Duan deliberately didn't show up in the army just now was to lower Ma Chao's vigilance, so as to create a good opportunity for him to unleash his cold arrows.
It's a pity that the strong end idea is very good, but he still looks down upon Ma Chao.
Ma Chao has been able to dominate the battlefield for so many years, so he naturally has some life-saving means.
After Qiang Duan saw Ma Chao dodge his carefully designed arrow, a look of annoyance appeared on his face. It was clear that he was just a little bit close to letting Ma Chao die under his arrow.
But even this little bit is a delusion that he can never achieve.
Qiang Duan knew that Ma Chao must have hated him deeply since that incident, so he thought of releasing cold arrows to assassinate Ma Chao.
However, although his goal failed, the strong end did not just stay there.
When he saw that Ma Chao was already riding towards him, he immediately thought of escaping.
But before escaping, Qiang Duan did not forget Jiang Wei who had fled near him.
Qiang Duan drove his horse and quickly came to Jiang Wei, lifted him up and put him on the horse, and then quickly fled towards the north with Jiang Wei.
Ma Chao became even more furious when he saw that his enemy was trying to escape and even took his gift with him.
But now the Wei army was facing a huge rout. Due to the crowds, Ma Chao was unable to use the maneuverability of his horse.
So under the constant congestion of the crowd, Ma Chao could only watch Qiang Duan leading Jiang Wei and fleeing towards the north.
Also fleeing with Qiang Duan and Jiang Wei were many Wei troops who were in a panic.
As Qiang Duan and Jiang Wei continued to move away, Ma Chao could only temporarily drive his horse back to Ma Dai.
At this time, Ma Dai was still commanding the Liangzhou army to pursue the defeated Wei army. Ma Chao saw this and immediately stopped Ma Dai's behavior.
Ma Dai was a little confused.
Now is the time for our own army to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. In this way, we will definitely capture many prisoners.
Facing Ma Dai's confusion, Ma Chao explained: "Do we have any extra food and grass?"
Hearing what Ma Chao said, Ma Dai fell silent.
Liangzhou's food shortage is something that many people know and can even infer.
Due to lack of food, Ma Chao led his army into Wudu County this time and did not bring much food and grass with him.
This part of the food and grass is not enough to supply three thousand Liangzhou troops, let alone thousands more surrenders.
Without food supply, no matter how many people are absorbed, it will be of no use at all. On the contrary, it will cause huge hidden dangers.
In addition, during the fierce battle just now, the energy of Liangzhou Army was almost exhausted.
At this time, what Liangzhou Army needs to do most is to repair.
The capital in Ma Chao's hands is very weak, and he cannot be careless.
After understanding Ma Chao's thoughts, Ma Dai immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops.
After the sharp sound of gold ringing sounded, thousands of Liangzhou troops immediately stopped pursuing the Wei army, and then, under the leadership of their respective generals, they began to clean up the battlefield below.
In the battle just now, the Wei army suffered more casualties than the Han army, but the Han army itself also suffered many casualties.
You need to loot the enemy's corpses to see if you can get valuable items. As for the corpses of your colleagues, you naturally have to find a way to bury them.
Resting in peace is the obsession of everyone in this world.
While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Ma Dai whispered to Ma Chao:
"Brother, just now you showed mercy to Jiang Wei."
Ma Dai has followed Ma Chao for many years, and he is the person who knows Ma Chao's bravery best in the world.
Although Jiang Wei's martial arts display just now is not bad, at least at his age it is very rare, but if he can fight with Ma Chao for more than ten rounds without losing, Ma Dai will not believe it.
But Ma Dai also knew that his analysis was quite sensitive, so he just whispered to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was not surprised at all that Ma Dai could guess this.
In front of Ma Dai, Ma Chao had nothing to hide.
"I want to capture him and offer him to the Champion, so that after I leave in the future, you will have someone in the Han Dynasty who can rely on each other with you."
When Ma Chao said this, his face looked a little unnatural.
He could not say this sentence in the past, and even this thought would not appear in his mind.
This sentence reflects the importance he places on family ties. He is determined to achieve hegemony and will not be held back by family ties.
Perhaps it was the tragic experiences over the years that caused some changes in Ma Chao's temperament.
After listening to Ma Chao's words, Ma Dai was deeply touched.
He knew very well what kind of person Ma Chao was in the past, but he never expected that he would hear such words from Ma Chao today about heroes being short-tempered and family-loving being long-lasting.
Recalling Ma Chao's heroic and invincible appearance on the battlefield just now, and looking at his brother with a somewhat embarrassed face in front of him, Ma Dai's eyes were a little moist.
Ma Chao is a hero, but perhaps in recent years, he wants to be a better parent.
"Brother will definitely live a long life."
Ma Dai wished like this.
In response to Ma Dai's wishes, Ma Chao had a look of relief on his face, but he felt a little sad in his heart.
In the dead of night, he would cough up blood from time to time. Could this be a sign of longevity?
It is clear that many debts need to be repaid.
Ma Chao did not tell Ma Dai about this, nor did he respond to Ma Dai's wishes. He just ordered Ma Dai: "As soon as the army has sorted out the battlefield, lead them to continue marching north."
Ma Chao's order surprised Ma Dai.
The reason why Ma Chao led his army into Wudu County in the first place was to hinder the Wei army from occupying Wudu County. On the other hand, he wanted to find an opportunity to defeat the Wei army's vanguard and reduce their morale.
After today's battle between the two sides, it is obvious that both of Ma Chao's goals have been achieved.
So why does Ma Chao continue to move forward?
You must know that the tens of thousands of troops led by Guo Huai are likely to arrive in Wudu County in the near future. Ma Chao does not want to defeat those tens of thousands of Wei troops with less than 3,000 people.
After realizing this, Ma Dai was quickly startled by his idea.
He naturally trusts Ma Chao's ability, but no matter how great his ability is, it must be based on strength before it can be fully utilized.
With less than 3,000 troops, tens of thousands of elite Wei troops were defeated head-on. The leader of the Wei army was still a difficult character like Guo Huai. This was unrealistic in every aspect.
Ma Dai tried to remind Ma Chao tactfully, but when faced with Ma Dai's reminder, Ma Chao just glanced sideways, said a word, and turned around to leave.
"Don't ask, just do it!"
These four simple words reveal Ma Chao's determined attitude.
Ma Mengqi is still very aloof most of the time.
Faced with Ma Chao's resolute attitude, Ma Dai knew that persuasion was useless.
So he urged the Han army to clean up the battlefield.
About two hours later, thousands of Han troops who had cleared the battlefield continued to move northward under the leadership of Ma Chao.
Not far to the north of Xiabian City, there is a mountain named Gushan.
This mountain is not very tall, but the terrain is very steep. The most important thing is that the mountain road at the foot of Gushan Mountain is the only way for the Wei army to go to Xiabian.
During the Battle of Xia Bian, Zhang Fei led his army to garrison in Gushan, and then released false news about a surprise attack on the Wei army.
Although Zhang Fei's plan was discovered by Cao Xiu back then, since Zhang Fei was able to release such false news, it fully reflects the importance of Gu Shan to Xia Bian.
Ma Chao led the Han army to Gushan.
However, after leading his army to Gushan, Ma Chao did not adopt the same method as Zhang Fei and stationed most of his troops on the mountain.
He directly ordered the Han army to camp on the mountain road.
The main way to block traffic arteries in the world is to go down to the village.
Ma Chao obviously wanted to use the steep terrain of Gushan to block the Wei army from advancing.
In order to achieve this goal, the Han army's camp must be built very solidly.
So in the next half month, Ma Chao commanded the Han army to continuously strengthen his camp.
Just as the Han army's fortification project was progressing to an advanced stage, the main force of the Wei Army's West Route Army led by Guo Huai finally arrived outside Hechi County.
At this time, not only the main force led by Guo Huai was stationed outside Hechi County, but also the remnants of the Wei army that had previously retreated from Xiabian City were recuperating outside Hechi County.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiang Duan originally wanted to retreat further, but his idea was blocked by Jiang Wei.
If the remnants of the Wei army are stationed in Hechi County, it can at least ensure that the distance from Hechi County to Sanguan is safe.
But if they all return to Sanguan, who can guarantee that Ma Chao will not lead the Han army to set up an ambush on the main road outside Sanguan?
It is not shameful to be defeated by Ma Chao, but if he cannot even do his part well, then Jiang Wei may have to commit suicide to apologize.
Due to Jiang Wei's persistence, the main force led by Guo Huai experienced no danger on the road from Sanguan to Hechi County.
This gave Guo Huaiming a reason not to punish Jiang Wei.
Before he led his army to Hechi County, Guo Huai received a military report from Jiang Wei.
Guo Huai originally thought that Jiang Wei's military report was a good news, but he did not expect that what he received was a military report of a great defeat.
Guo Huai naturally knew very well what kind of impact this defeat would have on his own side.
So at the beginning, Guo Huai wanted to punish Jiang Wei.
But later on, as he continued to understand the entire battle, his feeling of blaming Jiang Wei gradually faded away.
The fledgling Jiang Wei lost to the experienced Ma Chao. Can this be considered a mistake?
You must know how many famous Cao Wei generals were defeated by Ma Chao.
Judging from Guo Huai's analysis, there was actually nothing negligent in Jiang Wei's arrangements before the war.
It's just weird, Ma Chao is just superior.
After arriving in Hechi County, the first thing Guo Huai did was to visit Jiang Wei.
Guo Huai did this, firstly to comfort Jiang Wei, and secondly because he wanted to know more about the details of that day's battle.
