Chapter 591: Fleeing in embarrassment
When the battle between Xiahoudun and Zhou Tai reached seventy or eighty rounds, Xiahoudun obviously began to suffer from physical exhaustion.
As Guan Yu said before, the longer he insisted, the more strength he needed to drive the war horse, which would make Xiahoudun's physical strength consume too quickly.
And Zhou Tai because of the stirrups, the consumption of physical strength is significantly less, and Zhou Tai, a person who has been on the river all the year round, is familiar with the water, and his physical strength itself is much thicker than that of Xiahoudun.
And because he was much younger than Xiahoudun, Zhou Tai obviously had some advantages in the second half of the battle.
At the beginning, Xiahoudun was in a hurry to perform, and almost blindly attacked, but with the change of the battle situation, now, most of the time is on the defensive.
It's not that Zhou Tai can block Xiahoudun's attack, but Xiahoudun's attack, and he didn't fight with his life, in Xiahoudun's view, this is a competition, not a life-and-death battle, if Cao Cao didn't say that sentence by Xiahoudun's side at the beginning, let Xiahoudun let go of his hands and feet, and fight at any cost.
It was really able to make Zhou Tai unable to resist, but now, as the battle situation was stalemate, Xiahoudun felt more and more that the other party seemed to be superior, and he was vaguely timid, and he didn't want to continue to fight Zhou Tai here.
Xiahoudun, who was cowardly, had already been defeated at this moment.
Zhou Tai's big knife will not retreat because of Xiahoudun's retreat, but will only attack more aggressively and aggressively.
When he raised his knife and slashed at Xiahoudun a few times, and noticed that Xiahoudun's defense was becoming more and more loose, Zhou Tai already showed a trace of surprise in his heart.
In the previous battles, Zhou Tai rarely attacked, and most of the time he was only resisting Xiahoudun's attack, because of his lack of experience in fighting on war horses, Zhou Tai was still in the run-in period.
But after dozens of rounds, Zhou Tai's offense became more and more proficient, and his self-confidence also soared.
Realizing that the opponent was tired, how could Zhou Tai miss this opportunity to defeat the opponent, so he immediately clenched the long knife and slashed at Xiahoudun's chest with one sword.
Such a knife seems ordinary, but it has already made Zhou Taiduo add a little more strength to it, even if Xiahoudun wants to block it, it will be more difficult than before.
The long knife slashed through the void, and with the sound of breaking the sky, he quickly looked at Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun's face was solemn, and he was still hesitating at this time, whether to continue to fight here, or according to Cao Cao's words, in order to protect himself, withdraw and leave.
Thinking about it, Zhou Tai's attack came, and Xiahou Dun, who was a strong man, naturally immediately raised his spear as a reflex and wanted to block it.
Although the metal spear was getting heavier and heavier by Xiahoudun, it still blocked Zhou Tai's attack at such a critical time, but the fire ignited, and there was a drag on it, so that Zhou Tai's attack and Xiahoudun's weapons were intertwined, hitting a fierce spark.
The spark dissipated, but seeing that Zhou Tai's attack was not over, the long knife that reflected the past was raised again by Zhou Tai's fierce force, and then fell heavily, slashing at Xiahoudun.
This kind of continuous attack also surprised Xiahoudun, who had just tried his best to block Zhou Tai's blow, but now Zhou Tai swung the long knife again, this kind of operation must have lost Zhou Tai's muscles, and a little bit of it will cause muscle strain, resulting in a direct loss of the entire arm.
But Zhou Tai couldn't care so much about winning in order to win, Xiahoudun's face changed suddenly, and he thought about how he could block the opponent's attack.
Before he could think too much, Zhou Tai's attack came, and Xiahoudun could only grit his teeth and raise his gun again.
But this time, Xiahoudun's speed was still slow, and the long knife still fell on his chest.
In the blink of an eye, it swept across Xiahoudun's chest. In an instant, Xiahoudun's armor was split.
On the thick and heavy armor, a black knife mark appeared.
There wasn't much blood, though.
The armor's defense was still effective, allowing Xiahoudun to avoid the fatal point, but Zhou Tai's long knife was slashed under his chest, and the armor blocked the strength of Zhou Tai's long knife, so that the long knife slashed on the body There was not much strength, and the wound was not deep.
Although the wound was not very deep and would not kill Xiahoudun with a single sword, such an attack still made Xiahoudun break out in a cold sweat.
made Xiahou Dun, who was already afraid, finally didn't want to die with Zhou Taibo here.
Zhou Tai can not die, he Xiahoudun still spares his life.
Gritted his teeth and raised his gun, shook a shot, and stabbed at Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai took a long knife to defend, but at this time, Xiahoudun immediately clamped the horse's belly, commanded the war horse, rushed forward, turned around and left, and fled back to the location of Cao Cao and others.
Zhou Tai wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he saw that Xiahoudun had already fled farther, and it was impossible to kill the other party when he fled back to the army.
Therefore, Zhou Tai could only give up the pursuit, but he couldn't lose his momentum, and hurriedly shouted at Cao Cao and others in the distance.
"Hahaha, Dog Officer, what about the momentum just now, what's the matter, did you run away if you couldn't beat it? Exactly useless waste, you are all a bunch, useless waste! ”
Xiahoudun's face was blue when he was scolded by Zhou Tai.
But he was ashamed and didn't dare to fight back, and the war horse returned to Cao Cao and the others a few times, and Xiahoudun could only express his apologies to Cao Cao.
"My lord, the last general is incompetent, please punish the crime."
Cao Cao's face was ugly at this time, where would he care about Xiahoudun at this time, he could only let him go down and rest first.
"Let's go down."
Cao Cao, who didn't say anything, looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei's face was also not good-looking, he thought that Cao Cao's Xiahoudun was at least not low, and he would not be so ugly to lose, who knows, but he turned his head and fled directly, which made their officials and soldiers lose their faces.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng was also amused, and shouted loudly at Cao Cao in the distance at this time.
"Cao Mengde, this person under your command is too untrustworthy, he said that he was fighting a good life and death, but he escaped from the battle, if it was my person, I would definitely kill him on the spot to boost the army's prestige, it seems that you are still too young. You can't command the army like that. ”
Liu Zheng mocked Cao Cao.
However, Zhang Fei on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately slapped the horse and was about to go up, but he still glanced at Liu Bei first and signaled Liu Bei.
Liu Zheng knew that at this time, he really needed his third brother to come out to save some of the situation.
agreed to Zhang Fei's request.
"Third brother, be careful, don't be careless!"
