Chapter 174 Sunset
Ma Chao held the gun and looked back at the more than 3,000 Qiang cavalry behind him. Everyone was injured, and many knights even lost their weapons. They were trapped in the Sixteenth Corps for too long and had lost their fighting spirit.
At this time, when I saw the smoke and dust sweeping towards me, I actually showed a look of despair.
Seeing this scene, Ma Chao was shocked and angry. What was shocked was that his soldiers were not in a fight and were tired. Could it be that they would die here today? What was angry was that the soldiers he brought showed such a look, which really made him feel ashamed.
When I went to see Huang Zhong again, I saw that the old Huang Zhong also looked shocked, and was looking at him at this time. Huang Zhong said, "The surname is Han, is it a descendant of Han Sui?"
Ma Chao shook his head and said, "After Han Sui died a few years ago, his family was taken to Xuchang by Cao Cao. Moreover, Han Sui had no adult children. The leader of the army this time should be someone else."
Huang Zhong said again: "Where is the general surnamed Han of Xiliang?"
Ma Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know this either!" After that, he looked up and asked Huang Zhong again, "There are pursuers behind him and the enemy troops are coming from the side. How should we do it?" After saying this, Ma Chao suddenly realized how bad his situation was at this time.
Only five thousand remaining soldiers were left at hand, and the soldiers led by Huang Zhong were exhausted, and most of them had been lost due to a big battle.
The soldiers under Ma Chao were besieged for many days and were defeated many times. At this time, they had lost their aura. If they fought with others at this time, they would probably be defeated at once.
Tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers were chasing each other closely, and more than ten thousand soldiers were coming from the side. The situation was really urgent. Even if you continued to flee south, these tired troops at your hands could not escape the enemy that had just arrived.
Ma Chao even sighed in his heart: "Is it because God wants to destroy me?"
At this moment, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth, raised the big knife in his hand and said to Ma Chao: "General Ma left first, I will cut off the back for General Ma!"
Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "How can I keep the old general here? Chao will fight the old general with the enemy to the death!" After that, he wanted to order the soldiers to fight the enemy to the death, but Huang Zhong suddenly said, "General Ma, I have something to say, I hope the general will listen to it.
"Although Ma Chao looked puzzled when he heard this, he said, "The old general has something to say."
Huang Zhong looked up at the south and said, "I have been practicing martial arts since I joined the army for half my life, but no one in the world knows that there is Huang Zhong in Nanyang. I also think that this life has passed like this.
Unexpectedly, after the age of fifty years old, he would meet the King of Hanzhong. From then on, he followed the king to fight south and north, and his reputation gradually became apparent, which was worthy of his life! However, I was over 70 years old, and although I was not convinced of my old age, my strength was not as good as before.
As he said that, he turned to Ma Chao and continued, "General Ma is in his prime and can still help the king fight in all directions. He is also one of the five tiger generals beside the king. The king's great cause has not been achieved. The general must not leave his life here.
Therefore, please go quickly, General!"
After hearing this, Ma Chao knew that Huang Zhong had the will to die to protect himself. He immediately said anxiously: "The old general is also a general beside the king. How can he die for Chao?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong said: "She's husband has returned from his horse after a year, and he is the best thing to do.
General Ma, please leave quickly, fear that you and I will not be able to return!" After saying that, he shouted to Ma Chao again: "General Ma, please put the great cause of the king first, go quickly!"
After saying that, he shouted to more than a thousand soldiers beside him: "Soldiers, now there are thousands of robes of lives that will depend on you to fight for. You have to resist tens of thousands of Cao soldiers to protect them from leaving alive. Are you afraid?"
When more than a thousand soldiers on both sides heard this, they all raised their weapons and shouted, "Don't be afraid!" The sound was heard for several miles, and even the more than 10,000 Cao soldiers could vaguely hear this.
Huang Zhong looked at the more than a thousand soldiers around him, but he saw that although they were straightened, they could not hide the fatigue on his face. Moreover, most of the armor on his body was damaged, and some people even didn't know where the armor was falling. But even so.
None of the more than a thousand soldiers showed any timidity.
Huang Zhong saw it in his eyes, nodded slightly, and then said, "Okay! All the soldiers obey the orders, and follow the general to block Cao's soldiers, so that they can't take a step forward!" After that, he turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "General Ma, go quickly!"
Seeing all this, Ma Chao felt like a thorn stuck in his throat. He wanted to speak but couldn't speak. Finally, he squeezed out two words with difficulty: "Take care!" After saying that, he ordered to his left and right: "All army, go south!" After the order was finished, he turned his head again, but Huang Zhong had already led his troops to the north.
"Take care!" Looking at Huang Zhong's back as he walked away, Ma Chao held the spear in his hand tightly and kept thinking about it...
However, Huang Zhong led more than a thousand soldiers to the north and stopped all the more than a thousand Cao soldiers. The two armies formed a formation and confronted each other on this vast plain.
Huang Zhong took the lead and stood in front of the formation. His helmet had long disappeared, revealing his gray hair, and the long white beards on his forehead also fluttered back and forth with the wind.
He was wearing a golden chain mail, holding a big knife in his hand, a four-stone longbow hanging behind the saddle, and two pots of feather arrows hanging on the other side.
At this time, when Cao's opponent stopped, a general stood in front of the formation, he shouted: "I am Huang Zhong, Nanyang Huang Hansheng, who is here?"
Besides, the Cao general opposite, named Han De was a powerful general in Western Liang, who was good at using the great axe to open the mountain.
However, he had already received the order of the prefect Cheng Gongying to lead 10,000 troops to the south of the Great Wall to help General Cao Hong defeat the enemy, but he did not want to go halfway. Cao Hong sent someone to send a letter to him, saying that Huang Zhong led his troops back overnight.
He was about to lead his troops to chase Huang Zhong, but he didn't want Cheng Gongying to send someone to come with the army orders, so he led his troops to station here. If any soldiers looked north and south, they would immediately stop and kill him. If no soldiers arrived in half a month, they would look to the west county and leave.
Until this day, a visitor came to report that there were soldiers and horses in Sichuan who were looking south and running, about 5,000, as if they were defeated. Han De received the report and said happily: "If you don't have the information of becoming a prefect, this is a gift from heaven." Then he ordered the troops and horses at hand and rushed over.
But I didn't expect that Huang Zhong was stopped here by troops.
Han De was the general of the Sichuan Army who did not want to escape and wanted to fight to the death, but at this time he set up a formation and found that there were only more than a thousand soldiers on the other side, which was very different from the number mentioned in the newspaper, so he knew that the other party sent someone to cut off the rear.
When he saw the enemy's leader again, he immediately smiled and said, "There is no one in the Sichuan Army, and an old man has finally cut off the rear. When I kill this old man, this army will be defeated, and then I can chase him urgently."
After saying that, he went out to fight and was about to speak, but the general opposite him started shouting first.
After hearing this, Han De said in surprise: "Is this old man who killed Huang Zhong from Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain?" So he looked at it carefully, but when he saw the old man opposite, although his hair was slightly messy and his armor was a little damaged, he sat proudly on the horse, and the momentum he exuded was amazing, which was definitely incomparable to ordinary generals.
After looking at it for a while, Han De waved his axe in his hand and replied, "I am Han De of Xiliang, an old man. At such an old age, he is not as happy as his family, but he actually came to the battle formation, but was he here to die?"
Huang Zhong sneered when he heard this, "Just because you want to take my life, are you daydreaming?" After that, he didn't go to see Han De, but just sat upright on the horse, carrying the sword backwards, and looking at the sky with his eyes squinted.
Han De was furious when he heard this. He swung the axe in his hand, causing a gust of wind. He immediately shouted: "Old man! The death period has come, don't be rampant."
Huang Zhong refused to answer, and looked at the sky with his eyes squinted, but he said softly in a voice that others could not hear, "Is the death date coming?" Then he swung the sword in his hand and laughed, "If you have that ability, I will take it away!" After that, he slapped out of the formation, swung the sword in his hand and rushed towards Han De.
When Han De saw Huang Zhong coming out of the battle, he was about to pick up his axe to meet him. Suddenly, someone beside him said, "Why do you need your father to go into battle? Let's ask me to take the head of an old man and present it to my father's horse.
"Before the words were gone, a cavalry had already run out, and Han De hurriedly looked at it, but it was his eldest son Han Ying.
It turned out that Han De had four sons, all of whom were proficient in martial arts, but when he went out, he brought out his four sons together.
The man who came out to meet Huang Zhong was the oldest son. He was good at using a three-pointed, two-edged knife. At this time, he slapped the horse and rushed out, and then swung the knife and smashed Huang Zhong's head.
Besides, Huang Zhong held a sword in his hand and saw a horse running out of the opposite formation. After a closer look, he was not old and looked contemptuous. Although the knife in his hand looked amazing, Huang Zhong saw at a glance that the man had not tried his best to persuade him, he looked down on himself from the bottom of his heart. He said to himself in his heart: "Children Huangkou dares to look down on me! You must know me.
”
My heart turned sharply, and the sword in my hand slashed out diagonally. But when the two horses intersected, a white-haired veteran was sitting on the horse with a dignified look. Not far behind him was a war horse, carrying a knight and running far on the plain.
But the knight had no head, shoulders, and the blood from the wound gushed out until now, as if a fountain had opened on his body.
At this moment, a three-pointed and two-edged knife fell to the ground with an arm on it, and an arm was tightly grasped on the hilt. As soon as the knife fell to the ground, a ball-shaped object fell from the sky, which was Han Ying's head.
Huang Zhong pulled his horse and shook the knife, but saw that the knife was as white as snow and had not stained with any blood. He was about to speak, but he heard a loud shout from Cao's army: "Give me my elder brother my life!" But when he heard a bowstring, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air came.
However, Han De's second son Han Yao was so angry that he saw his elder brother being killed and ran out of the formation. Without holding the knife in his hand, he took out the bow first, trying to take Huang Zhong's life with the bow and arrow.
Looking at Huang Zhong again, he was not panicked. He held the sword in his right hand and grabbed the arrow forward with his left hand. He grabbed the arrow firmly in his palm. He smiled and said, "Take axe!" But he hung the sword on the horse, took out the long bow, put the arrow on the bow, aiming at Han Yao with one arrow.
"Give you back!"
