Ma Chao sat in the tent, feeling very annoyed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the sound of drums suddenly rang out from outside. He was so shocked that he quickly sat up, put on his armor, and rushed out. Who knew that when he led his troops out, he discovered that this group of people was the same as the first ones. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, causing him to lead his troops to chase for a long time, but he could not even catch a single person.
At this moment, Ma Chao's armor was slanted, and the helmet on his head was also tilted. He sat in the tent sulking. "What is this Xue Bing planning? The soldiers came, but they only knocked on the door before retreating.”After thinking for a moment, he still couldn't figure it out, so he collapsed on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. This time, he didn't remove his armor. He was afraid that Xue Bing would attack the camp again after probing twice.
While lying down, Ma Chao felt more and more confused. He had been marching for several days and had been delayed on the mountain path for a long time yesterday. He was extremely tired at this time. Now that he was lying down, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Before long, he could no longer hold on.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The drumbeats suddenly sounded like the sky was shaking, causing Ma Chao, who was about to fall asleep, to jump up from his bed in shock. Just as Ma Chao stood up, a small school ran in to report,""General, war drums are ringing outside the stronghold!”Ma Chao was also annoyed by the night's torment. He said angrily,""I can hear you! Pass on my orders! Prepare the army for battle. Follow me out of the camp to capture these guys!”The small colonel received the order and retreated. Ma Chao waited for a while before leaving the tent…
Ma Chao led the army back to the camp and then dispersed, returning to their own tents to rest. All of them had their heads drooped as they walked, nodding their heads along the way. It was as if he wanted to knock his head off. Ma Chao was also feeling tired at this moment, but he could only persevere and force himself to stay alert.
At this moment, Pang De welcomed Ma Chao into the camp and followed him into the tent. When Ma Chao sat down, Pang De said,"The enemy has come to harass us time and time again. I don't think they have any intention of attacking the camp!"”When Ma Chao heard this, he raised his head and looked at her without saying anything. He was extremely tired now, and even talking was strenuous. Pang De saw this and continued,"The enemy's actions are probably to make our army unable to rest and wear us out." General, you should have already decided on a countermeasure."
Ma Chao moved his neck as if to make himself feel more comfortable. Then, he said to Pang De,""Ling Ming, what do you think we should do?”
Pang De said," If this goes on, our army will collapse from exhaustion. Why don't we divide our soldiers into two teams? One team will be on guard, and the other team will rest. In this way, if the enemy came to harass them again, there would still be a group of people who could continue to rest. If the enemy really attacked, they could use this group to retreat.”
"What Ling Ming said is right," Ma Chao said."Do as he says!”So he ordered Pang De to arrange everything and let Pang De lead the army to guard tonight. Ma Chaozi rested in the big tent.
Pang De's idea was not bad, but Ma Chao had just fallen asleep in the tent when he was woken up by an extremely unpleasant noise, followed by messy footsteps and shouts outside the tent. When everything calmed down, Ma Chao did not have the mood to sleep. When Pang De returned with his troops and the outside gradually calmed down, Ma Chao could finally fall asleep. Then, she was woken up again, annoyed, sleepy, fell asleep, and woke up again…
This situation lasted for an entire night. Not only did Ma Chao not sleep well, none of the soldiers in the stronghold could sleep well either. When the sun rose, everyone forced themselves to open their eyes. Ma Chao and Pang De looked at the equally exhausted soldiers with tired faces, feeling extremely frustrated. Ma Chao was so angry that his entire body was trembling non-stop.
Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Pang De could only say,""General, we are tired and the soldiers have not rested well. I'll rest for a day today and tackle the problem tomorrow!”
Although Ma Chao was furious, he knew that attacking now was no different from courting death, so he ordered,""All troops, rest in the stronghold!" With that, he entered the tent with Pang De. He was afraid that if he looked at it for a while longer, he would be so angry that he would not be able to resist leading his troops to attack the pass.
The two of them had just entered the big tent and had yet to speak when a small school suddenly reported,"Enemy general Wei Yan has led his troops outside the camp to call for battle!”Hearing this, Ma Chao and Pang De looked at each other. Pang De said,"Our army is tired now. We can't fight the enemy!"”"If we don't face the enemy, won't our morale be weakened?" Ma Chao said.”He then turned to Pang De and said,"Have the soldiers rest in the camp for the time being. I will lead my troops out to meet the enemy."”So he went out of his tent, gathered five thousand soldiers, and went out of the camp to fight Wei Yan.
Ma Chao led his troops out of the camp and arranged five thousand soldiers. He walked to the front of the formation with his spear and looked at the enemy. However, he saw a general in armor and a saber looking at him arrogantly. He thought to himself,"This person has an extraordinary aura and is definitely not an ordinary person! Could it be Xue Bing himself?" "Who is it?" he asked.
Wei Yan sized up Ma Chao from his horse and saw that he was wearing silver armor and holding a spear. Wei Yan saw this man's bearing and knew that he was Ma Chao. "I am Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang!" he said. You are Ma Chao?"
"I am Ma Chao. Since you know my name, how dare you stop me?"”
"Don't be so arrogant," Wei Yan shouted. You invaded my territory for no reason. Today, I'll show you my methods!”So he sent his horse to attack. When Ma Chao saw this, he thought to himself, Good timing!”He also rode his horse and raised his spear to fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two generals had arrived at the same spot. They saw two horses circling in a circle. One of the generals wielded a saber and the other held a spear. They were evenly matched on the horses. For a moment, the saber and spear were exchanged, but no one could do anything to the other.
Wei Yan slashed his saber at Ma Chao again, but Ma Chao blocked it with his spear and stabbed at his chest. Fortunately, Wei Yan did not use his full strength just now, so he still had the strength to return the saber. After blocking Ma Chao's spear, Wei Yan thought to himself,""I heard that Ma Chao's martial courage is rare in the world, so I'm not convinced. After today's battle, he knew that the world was not lying. He was exhausted from the long journey and had been harassed by General Xue for the entire night. He must be extremely tired at this time. I've been saving my strength since yesterday, but I can't defeat him. Ma Chao is indeed a fierce general of the world!" Thinking of this, he recalled Xue Bing's previous instructions and waved his knife, saying,"Ma Chao is indeed powerful. I can't beat you today! I'll see you again next time!" He rode back and led his soldiers to Jiameng Pass.
Ma Chao wanted to chase after him, but his 5,000 soldiers were exhausted. After a while, they were left far behind by Wei Yan, so he could only withdraw his troops and return to the stronghold. When he returned to the tent, he saw Ma Dai and Pang De in the tent. Ma Dai was not injured to begin with, and after recuperating for a few days, he had already recovered.
"How is the battle going?" Pang De asked Ma Chao.”"Wei Yan fought me for twenty rounds," Ma Chao said."He couldn't win, so he fled back to Guanzhong.”
"Wei Yan?" Ma Dai said angrily.”"Of course!" Ma Chao said. My brother knows this person?" "It was this man who lured me in and set me on fire," said Ma Dai.”"If I had known, I wouldn't have let this person off!" Ma Chao was furious.”"Don't worry, brother," he said to Ma Dai."The next time I see him, I'll kill him to avenge my brother!”
Just as he was speaking, a report came in from the colonel."Wei Yan has led three thousand soldiers back and is now cursing outside the camp.”
Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard that. Pang De said,""Didn't he just retreat? Why are you back?" "I was just about to find this person to avenge my brother. He came at the right time!" Ma Chao said.”"Gather the troops and follow me out of the camp to meet the enemy," he ordered.”Pang De thought for a moment and quickly advised,"The enemy will leave and then return. I'm afraid they're up to something."”"Don't say anything more, Ling Ming," Ma Chao said."I'll call back the troops after I kill this man.”So he led his troops away. Pang De was worried, so he led his troops to the back. When the situation turned bad, he would immediately lead his troops to rescue them.
Ma Chao led his troops out. When he saw that it was indeed Wei Yan, he scolded,""Cowardly villain, that's why you couldn't defeat me and fled with your troops. Now, what face do you have to come and challenge me again?"
Wei Yan said," Victory and defeat are common in a war. I couldn't defeat you before. Now I'm here to take revenge on you!"”
"I'm also looking for you to avenge my brother," Ma Chao said. I didn't expect you to come to my door. Don't blame me for being ruthless!”So he rode his horse and charged toward Wei Yan.
Seeing this, Wei Yan rushed out with his saber and fought with Ma Chao. When the two of them were fighting fiercely on their horses, Wei Yan jumped out of the battle and said,""I still can't beat you. I'll challenge you next time!”So he rode his horse and led his troops back. Ma Chao was about to chase after them when he heard a gong behind him asking them to retreat. He had no choice but to retreat to the camp.
Pang De had seen clearly from behind. Seeing that Wei Yan was not at a disadvantage, he led his troops to retreat. Afraid that Wei Yan was cheating, he quickly ordered people to sound the gong and call Ma Chao back. When Ma Chao came back, he asked Pang De why he sounded the bell. Pang De told him about Ma Dai's precedent, but Ma Chao did not say anything.
Pang De said," The soldiers are tired and unable to attack the city. General, why don't you hang up the token of exemption and order the soldiers to have a good rest? We'll settle it tomorrow."
Ma Chao was about to say something when the small school suddenly came to report: "The enemy general Wei Yan has led his troops back. They are cursing outside the village." Ma Chao was furious when he heard this." Such a coward!" he said." If you can't fight him, run!" Escaped and returned! I'm so angry! I'll stab him to death so that we can have peace!”
Pang De hurriedly said," General, the enemy general doesn't fight with you. He just keeps calling out for battle. When you leave the formation, he will retreat. When you return to the camp, he will come again. This must be the enemy's plan to tire you out." We shouldn't pay more attention to it. It's best to have a good rest!”
"Are we going to let that vile man curse outside the stockade?" asked Ma Chao.”"I'll go out and meet him for a while more. If I can't kill him, I won't come out again." What does Ling Ming think?"
Pang De knew Ma Chao's temper and knew that Ma Chao had already made up his mind. He said,""General, if you can't kill the enemy general, don't come out again!”
"I've reflected on myself!" Ma Chao said. He left the tent and led his troops out of the stronghold to find that damned Wei Yan.
