The Nameless of the Common Clans

Although Ma Teng had sent Pang De to discuss surrender with Chen Mo, the two sides obviously did not reach an agreement so quickly, and Xu Rong obviously did not stop his march to Wuwei.

After capturing Anding, Xu Rong's troops bypassed Fengyi Mountain and wanted to go straight to Wuwei, and Ma Chao also led a troop to the north of Fengyi Mountain. Three days ago, Ma Chao and Hua Xiong's vanguard met.

Originally, Ma Chao and Hua Xiong were not prepared to fight here, and the two sides only had small-scale frictions among scouts, but after realizing that the opponent was not small in size, the local friction gradually escalated. The two sides lined up under Fengyi Mountain, shot at each other, and harassed by cavalry. Ma Chao was talented and Hua Xiong was experienced in fighting. For a while, it was difficult to tell the winner. Originally, he just wanted to demonstrate. After finding that all kinds of means could not defeat the opponent, Ma Chao began to lead his troops to attack in person, wanting to tear Hua Xiong's army formation, defeat this group of people, and give the Guanzhong army a warning.

After discovering the opponent's intention, Hua Xiong quickly assembled the central army and lined up to meet the enemy.

Ma Chao's Xiliang army was experienced in many battles, especially under Ma Chao's leadership, the morale reached its peak, but Hua Xiong was obviously not a person who could be challenged. While forming a battle formation to fight, he personally led the cavalry to penetrate the enemy's rear, and then the two cavalry units faced each other after failing to defeat the opponent's army formation, and the war broke out at this moment.

In this era, there were no saddles or stirrups. When fighting, cavalrymen would clamp their legs around the horse's belly to stabilize their bodies. They would be easily knocked off their horses during a collision. Therefore, cavalry collisions were rare even on the grassland. Most cavalrymen fought by wandering and harassing. However, Ma Chao and Hua Xiong were obviously confident in their bravery and soldiers. After discovering that the other side had the intention to attack, they did not give in at all. The two cavalrymen rarely collided with each other, like two opposite torrents colliding with each other. For a time, many cavalrymen were directly knocked off their horses. Under the trampling of the war horses of both sides, many soldiers turned into meat paste on the spot.

After both sides were injured, Hua Xiong and Ma Chao found the other side's main general in the chaotic army, and both wanted to capture and kill the other side's main general.

"Bang~"

When the two met, they started fighting without saying a word. The collision of swords and spears was also the first time that Hua Xiong and Ma Chao, the two most powerful generals in Xiliang, met. The way they met was also in line with their titles and identities as the most powerful generals in Xiliang.

As sparks flew, Hua Xiong's arms went numb, Ma Chao's body swayed, and his horse neighed continuously because of the two men's legs.

The two men separated immediately, and then their guards fought in one place. Hua Xiong reined in his horse and looked back, just in time to see the young general on the opposite side also raised his spear again. Somehow, Hua Xiong suddenly felt old.

Under Chen Mo's account, Taishi Ci and Xu Huang were both rare young generals with extraordinary martial arts. Now he met a young general whose martial arts and command were not inferior to his own. This sudden feeling of being old made Hua Xiong's momentum a little sluggish. He did not accept Ma Chao's provocation again. After returning to the army with his guards, he began to command the army to fight.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and it gradually stopped when it was getting dark. Ma Chao failed to break Hua Xiong's army, and Hua Xiong also failed to repel Ma Chao. The soldiers of both sides were exhausted. Ma Chao and Hua Xiong tacitly withdrew their troops, leaving only thousands of corpses behind as they returned to the camp.

"Before there was Taishi Ci, but I didn't expect there would be fierce generals here!" Back in the camp, even Ma Chao was a little depressed when facing the strength of Chen Mo's army. First there was Taishi Ci, then Hua Xiong. Chen Mo had many fierce generals under his command, while on his side, except for himself, no one could share the worry for him. Maybe Pang De could, but Chen Mo had more than these two people under his command.

Earlier in Longxi, the elite soldiers who suddenly came out almost killed them and their sons. Ma Chao still remembered the brutality of that battalion of soldiers. Even he was a little scared if he faced that army again.

"Brother, I have inquired!" Ma Dai came back and looked at Ma Chao and said, "The enemy general is Hua Xiong, the former number one general in Xiliang!"

"It turned out to be him!" Ma Chao felt better after hearing this. If it was some unknown general who suddenly appeared and fought with him like this, Ma Chao would not be able to accept it.

"Brother, are you still going to fight?" Ma Dai frowned. This Hua Xiong was obviously not easy to deal with. And most importantly, Hua Xiong's troops were only the vanguard. Xu Rong's main force in the rear had not arrived yet. Xu Rong was the general under Chen Mo. Before, Xu Rong, Taishi Ci, and Hua Xiong were the three major border generals. Xu Rong was responsible for the overall planning. He was above the two and had more troops. They could fight with Hua Xiong, but if Xu Rong came, they might not be able to stop him.

"If we don't fight, they will come in!" Ma Chao snorted coldly. It was not a question of whether he should fight or not, but the other party obviously had no intention of giving up. He had to fight even if he didn't want to: "Set up camps in this area and stop them here."

If Xu Rong and Hua Xiong's army were allowed to pass through Fengyi Mountain, Zu Li would have no place to defend. If Zu Li couldn't defend it, he would have to retreat to Queyin or even Zhangye.

"Yes!" Ma Dai nodded and agreed, and went to prepare.

Ma Chao knelt on the mat, and after a long time, he slammed the table hard. He joined the army at the age of twelve and experienced countless battles, but he was the only one who beat people. This was the first time he was bullied at his door and was helpless.

The battles we fought during this period were nothing short of heartbreaking. First, we were unable to defeat Tai Shici in Pingxiang, and Luomen did not gain any advantage. Later, in Longxi, we were almost beaten to the point of annihilation. Now we met Hua Xiong. They were evenly matched and couldn't get any advantage at all. They had to defend based on danger. It seemed that all the heartwarming battles in this life were over in this year!

What kind of world?

There was no one in the tent. Ma Chao sat directly on the mat, leaning back and resting his legs on the table. He thought about the wars during this period. Since the battle with Chen Mo, every battle has lost the joy of the past. Dripping feeling.

On the other side, in Hua Xiong's camp, Hua Xiong was also a little depressed. He was tied with a junior and had nothing to be proud of.

Ma Chao blocked Fengyi Mountain. Hua Xiong knew the terrain in this area. Ma Chao was stuck here and it would not be easy to break through.

"Hua'an!" Hua Xiong looked at the map carefully and called his general.

"The general is here!" A general came in from outside the tent and bowed.

"Go to General Xu and tell him what's going on here. Fengyi Mountain Pass is blocked and it's difficult to advance. What I mean is that maybe General Xu's army can bypass the Hetao and pass through Sanshui to directly capture Queyin. Then Ma Teng's retreat!" Hua Xiong thought: "This is my idea. Although Ma Chao is young, he has good military skills. Now he is defending in a dangerous situation. It may be difficult to defeat him in a hurry!"

"Here!" Hua An bowed and turned to leave.

"Today's young people are more powerful than the last!" Hua Xiong rubbed his head and recalled the situation when Lu Bu first joined Dong Zhuo's army. He sighed a little. Lu Bu was also younger than him, but his moves were really impressive. Powerless.

Hua Xiong was still worried about Dong Zhuo's incident back then. Even though Chen Mo later told him that Lu Bu had been plotted against him, he still had a grudge in his heart. However, as time went by, Chen Mo had occupied Guanzhong for three years, and he still had a grudge in his heart. The depression gradually dissipated as he continued to be used in important roles under Chen Mo. Looking back at this time, it was more about Lu Bu's arrogant and arrogant attitude when he first joined Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Lu Bu at that time was even more ruthless than Ma Chao.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Hua Xiong led his cavalry to the outside of Ma Chao's camp and looked at Ma Chao's camp. The camp was built on the mountain and was quite solid. The layout of the camp was also quite reasonable. Hua Xiong led his people up the mountain to have a bird's eye view. He didn't see any flaws, but it made Ma Chao want to have a one-on-one fight with Hua Xiong in front of the battle.

ill!

Even though Hua Xiong had spent a lot of time in Xiliang in the past and knew the Qiang customs of fighting generals, he never thought that he would follow the local customs. In this era, the fate of the victory or defeat of the three armies depends on the generals alone. It is difficult for people to understand and imagine the outcome. Hua Xiong ignored Ma Chao's invitation to fight. If he wanted to fight, he would fight with his horse. Even if he could not win, he could weaken Ma Chao's troops. With the current situation It seems that fighting this kind of battle is beneficial to Hua Xiong's side. Even if more people die, Ma Chao will die one less. As for the Guanzhong Army, there will be a steady stream of supplements in the future. In the field battle, Ma Chao will still suffer.

It's a pity that Ma Chao only wants to defeat Hua Xiong in the future, but he is unwilling to send troops. Obviously Ma Chao also knows that he can't compete with the Guanzhong Army now.

Although Hua Xiong was confident in his martial arts, he never thought about fighting against a general. He was not Dian Wei. He had nothing but good martial arts skills and great strength. Why would he want to compete with young people?

After a quick fight yesterday, Hua Xiong could feel that this young junior was very capable. If it were a duel, he would most likely be defeated in the end. There would be no benefit if he won, and if he lost, he would lose everything. He was crazy to fight with Ma Chao. To fight for your life?

The two sides faced off for three days at the foot of Fengyi Mountain. Every day Hua Xiong would go outside the camp to call for battle, while Ma Chao just shouted about the fighting generals. In the end, neither one could convince the other.

Xu Rong's troops also arrived on the third day.

"How is it?" Hua Xiong asked after meeting Xu Rong.

"There is no need to attack Que Yin. Ma Teng is already discussing with the lord about his surrender, so our army can deter him." Xu Rong shook his head. Not only did he have to pass through the Huns' territory to attack Que Yin, but he also had to take away two hundred men. Dori, that's not necessary.

"It's just that Ma Chao is quite brave. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to break this camp." Hua Xiong sighed and had nothing to do against Ma Chao.

"I'll go take a look tomorrow." Xu Rong nodded. He naturally knew Hua Xiong's abilities and could make Hua Xiong helpless. It seemed that Ma Chao did have some abilities.

"That's fine."
