Gulongping Qin Shu Jing Gong Niao Ma Jia Ba Zhao Xiu Zhan Sima

  Gulongping startled Qin Shu's bow bird, Majiaba Zhao Wei fought against Sima

  Here is the translation:

  After Qin Huiwen King and Shu Hou were defeated by the Chu army at Han Yin, they fled in disarray for over 70 miles. They regrouped at Ma Jia Ping and Gu Er Ping, where the soldiers and horses were exhausted, especially the infantry who had run for over 70 miles without stopping. Their stomachs were empty, and they could no longer move.

  Qin Huiwen King looked back and saw that there were no Chu troops pursuing them, so he ordered his army to stop and rest. They started a fire to cook food and feed their horses while checking the number of soldiers. After a while, the military officers reported that the remaining 100,000 soldiers from Qin and Shu consisted of: 50,000 Qin soldiers (18,000 cavalry and 32,000 infantry) and 50,000 Shu soldiers (12,000 cavalry and 38,000 infantry).

  Just as the food was ready, a messenger arrived to report that Chu Huai King's army was approaching, with General Zhao Ying leading 50,000 cavalry troops only three miles away at Xing Long Village. Qin Huiwen King and Shu Hou were shocked by this news.

  Sima Cuo advised Qin Huiwen King: "Zhao Ying's 50,000 cavalry will be followed by a large infantry force. Our army has just been defeated and cannot engage in another battle. The soldiers are also starving and unable to march far. In my opinion, the infantry is doomed anyway. Your Majesty can order all infantry troops (32,000 Qin and 38,000 Shu) to fight to the death against Zhao Ying's cavalry at Gu Er Ping, while the cavalry will protect Your Majesty as you flee to Han Zhong."

  Qin Huiwen King and Shu Hou ordered all infantry troops to form a defensive line at Gu Er Ping to block Zhao Ying's cavalry, while all cavalry troops finished their meal within seven minutes.

  Five minutes later, Zhao Kuo's 50,000 Chu light cavalry arrived at Guerping. The 70,000 infantry of the Qin and Shu allied forces had not yet formed a stable formation, and they hastily shot arrows to block the advance of the Chu cavalry. At this time, the 30,000 horsemen of Qin and Shu hastily finished their meal, wrapped it in cloth, and quickly mounted their horses to protect King Huiwen of Qin and Marquis of Shu as they fled westward. This King Huiwen of Qin and Marquis of Shu only cared about escaping with their lives and did not care about the life or death of their 70,000 infantrymen. Poorly, these 70,000 infantrymen had not even eaten a meal before they died. More than ten minutes passed, and the arrows of the Qin and Shu infantry were almost exhausted. Zhao Kuo saw this and ordered his 50,000 iron cavalry to charge in three routes. Oh heavens! How could the 70,000 starving infantrymen of Qin and Shu resist the impact of the 50,000 Chu cavalry? They fell down with just one charge, with 30,000 soldiers falling. After two or three more charges, the 70,000 infantrymen of the Qin and Shu allied forces all fell down, with only a small number of them escaping by fleeing in disarray. At this time, the 30,000 horsemen of King Huiwen of Qin and Marquis of Shu had already run for more than twenty miles and arrived at a place called Qixingba. Zhao Kuo led his 50,000 Chu cavalry to pursue them closely from behind. When King Huiwen of Qin and Marquis of Shu saw that the Chu cavalry was following closely behind, they did not dare to stop for a moment and fled desperately westward. At this time, the 30,000 Chu cavalry and 50,000 infantrymen of King Huai of Chu had also arrived at Guerping.

  King Huiwen of Qin and the Marquis of Shu's 30,000 cavalry escaped through Maja Pass. Sima Cuo saw that this was a narrow road, which must be taken by the Chu army in pursuit, so he led 3,000 cavalry to block the Chu army's cavalry here. Before Sima Cuo's formation was set up, Zhao Ying had already led a large group of Chu light cavalry past Huilong Village, less than a mile away from Sima Cuo. As soon as Zhao Ying saw him, he charged forward on horseback and killed the Qin army cavalry.

  Although Maja Pass is flat, the terrain is not very large, and it's hard for a large number of people to fight, so the advantage of the Chu army's large cavalry cannot be exerted, and it depends on who is brave and has endurance. Sima Cuo saw Zhao Ying coming to kill him, and he rode his horse and raised his knife to fight Zhao Ying. The two men fought with guns and knives for 20 rounds without a winner.

  Zhao Ying and Sima Cuo were originally evenly matched in martial arts, and it can be said that they were worthy opponents. Unfortunately, Sima Cuo had fought with King Huai of Chu before, and his palm and tiger's mouth were cracked, and his arms were injured. Although he was not injured in the chest, if he used too much force, his armpits would ache secretly, while Zhao Ying's long gun was like a dragon turning over, getting more courageous as he fought, making Sima Cuo's palms and armpits painful and unable to bear.

  Zhao Ying saw that Sima Cuo was no match for him, so he struck with his long gun. With a loud noise, Sima Cuo raised his knife to block it, but because of his injured arms, he had no strength in his hands, and his body stumbled. Zhao Ying saw this and struck three times with his spear, as fast as lightning. Sima Cuo couldn't resist, so he swung his knife and retreated.

  After Sima Cuo was defeated, no one in the Qin army cavalry could match Zhao Ying. They only saw Zhao Ying's long gun, left and right, striking down the Qin army cavalry one by one. The Chu army cavalry saw this and rushed forward with their guns and knives raised high. The Chu army cavalry charged fiercely, and the Qin army cavalry couldn't resist Zhao Ying and the Chu army cavalry's attack, so they finally retreated in defeat.

  In the Battle of Maja Pass, Zhao Ying's Chu army cavalry killed another 1,000 Qin army cavalry led by Sima Cuo.
