During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei heard that Ma Chao was coming to attack Jiameng Pass. He immediately led his troops to confront them, but to his surprise, it was only Ma Dai who came to meet him.
Dissatisfied, Zhang Fei defeated Ma Dai and sent him back to the enemy's camp.
Ma Chao then rode out to challenge him personally. Liu Bei also came to watch the battle.
The two generals fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds, yet neither could gain an advantage. They continued their battle at night for more than twenty rounds, still unable to determine a winner.
