Chapter 160: Green Robe, What's Your Origin?
After the two armies collided, the spear behind the shield slammed into the body of the war horse of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the war horse also relied on the charge and successfully knocked over part of the shield.
In Cao Cao's infantry formation, a small gap appeared, and Ma Chao took the lead, picked up his spear, and quickly stabbed some soldiers to death, expanding the gap.
Cao Hong saw that there was a young man in front of him, and he felt contempt, and immediately held a war knife in his hand and took the other party directly.
The sword was raised high and slashed at the enemy.
"No one is available in the state!"
Cao Hong used full strength for this knife, and if the young general couldn't withstand it, he would die in battle.
He was full of confidence in his own knife, and he had already imagined the scene in his mind where the other party was split in two by himself.
Clang!
Cao Hong only felt that his right hand was numb, and his artificially accurate blow was swept away by the other party!
"Who are you?"
Cao Hong, whose face was full of horror, asked the name of the young general.
"Xiliang Ma Chao!"
After sweeping away Cao Hong's weapon, Ma Chao did not retreat, but advanced, approached Cao Hong, and used the flexibility of the spear to suppress Cao Hong.
In the first twenty rounds, Cao Hong could barely cope with Ma Chao, but after twenty rounds, Cao Hong gradually hurried and was not paying attention, and his helmet was swept to the ground by Ma Chao's spear.
Taking the opportunity to turn the horse's head, Cao Hong rushed back into the formation.
Ma Chao is brave, and I am afraid that only Xu Chu can fight in the army.
But Xu Chu needed to protect Cao Cao and couldn't fight easily.
"Rush, rush all in!"
Ma Chao shouted behind him, and Xiliang Tieqi rushed into Cao Jun's formation.
After all, the infantry of the Cao army is not as battle-hardened as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and after the defeat of the infantry in front, the morale of the soldiers in the rear has plummeted, and they have lost the heart of battle.
When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely broke through the front line of defense, the Cao army's formation was in chaos!
"Withdraw the army, Lejin Li Dian protects Zhicai."
Cao Cao made a decision immediately, the formation was out of order, and it was useless to fight again.
"The pro-guards retreat in formation to protect the lord!"
Xu Chu led the personal guards, protected Cao Cao, and slowly retreated.
Ma Chao, who was fighting in the chaos, saw a group of soldiers in the middle of the enemy army, supporting a retreat, and immediately thought that this might be the commander of the other party, so Ma Chao abandoned the foot soldiers in front of him, rode alone, and rushed towards the group of people and horses.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
Xu Chu snorted coldly and was about to go to kill Ma Chao.
"Zhongkang can't be in love, it's important to protect the lord's retreat!"
Xi Zhicai was behind him and called out to Xu Chu.
"Without Zhongkang, Guan can take Ma Chao's head!"
Guan Yu in the formation finally couldn't help but speak.
This time, the Yanzhou army supported Kong Ling in Yuzhou, and Cao Cao did not plan to bring Guan Yu, because Guan Yu came to the front line in person, and once he met Liu Bei, he would inevitably follow Liu Bei and leave, and Cao Cao's efforts would eventually be in vain.
But the army went out to fight such a big thing, tens of thousands of people were huge, and they couldn't hide it from people at all, Guan Yu was already waiting for Cao Cao outside.
Guan Yu's purpose in following Cao Cao on the expedition was also very clear, that is, to kill Xiang Yang Zhai and meet with Liu Bei.
Encountering the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the middle of the road, it was obvious that the front foot soldiers of the Cao army could not withstand the impact of the cavalry, and now the formation was in disarray, and they fled for their lives.
"Yun Chang can't be underestimated!"
Cao Hong reminded Guan Yu behind him that he had been pressed and beaten since the second round of the battle because he despised his opponent just now.
"It's okay, let Guan repay Yanzhou's hospitality."
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse under his crotch rushed out quickly.
The Qinglong Glaive Knife dragged behind him, and Guan Yu charged with the war horse while accumulating strength.
Ma Chao, who was rushing towards the direction of the enemy's Chinese camp, suddenly saw a green-robed and red-faced man rushing in front of him, and couldn't help but concentrate.
"Drag the knife and slash?"
Seeing the green-robed man dragging the weapon behind him, Ma Chao guessed the other party's tricks in his heart.
"Shall I fear you?"
The strength of the gun in his hand increased by three points, and Ma Chao rushed towards the green-robed man at a faster speed.
The two sides are close, and there are still a few steps to go.
Guan Yu swung the knife hard, and the big knife turned from behind him to the front of him, and slashed at Ma Chao.
"Humph!"
had already expected that the other party would use this trick, Ma Chao was prepared, bent down and bowed his head, dodging Guan Yu's sweep, and at the same time, the spear in his hand leaned forward and attacked Guan Yu's chest.
Guan Yu took out the knife quickly, and the action of retracting the knife was also dazzling, and the end of the handle blocked the tip of Ma Chao's gun.
The two horses staggered past each other, then both turned around.
The two looked at each other in the middle of the battlefield.
"Green-robed man, what are you from?"
Ma Chao asked.
Just now, he used this move to knock down Cao Hong's helmet, and now with the same move, the green-robed man on the opposite side was able to easily block his move.
"Ignorant children, only know how to use their tongues!"
Guan Yu raised his knife and rushed towards Ma Chao again.
Ma Chao, who was despised by Guan Yu, had a nameless anger in his heart, and the spear beckoned to the other party again.
The green-robed man's second knife was very fierce, and it was like thunder, and Ma Chao was carried away by the anger, almost letting the other party cut off his head.
After the two horses staggered, Ma Chao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt that his back was wet, and his anger made this cold sweat drench and come down.
Ma Chao, who calmed down, began to show twelve points of spirit and take this battle seriously.
Guan Yu's shock in his heart at this time was even worse than when he fought with Gan Ning, at that time, Guan Yu judged Gan Ning's strength in the first move, and became a little interested in that rogue, so when the second knife was swung out, he didn't use all his strength.
This time against Ma Chao, Guan Yu's second knife did not hide any clumsiness, with a fierce murderous aura, wanting to cut Ma Chao under the horse with one knife.
The other party dodged the killer move!
"Try Guan's third knife!"
Guan Yu's third knife was swung out, the angle was tricky, and Ma Chao had no way to dodge, so he could only pick up the spear and block.
After all, Ma Chao is young, and he has not yet reached the peak state of his body, and his strength is not enough compared to Guan Yu, and when he blocked Guan Yu's third knife, the spear in his hand was shocked and plunged obliquely into the ground behind him.
Boom!
At the same time as the spear came out of his hand, Ma Chao pulled out the sword at his waist, and the long sword that Lu Bu gave him took advantage of the opportunity to stab at Guan Yu at close range.
In the case of close combat, Ma Chao's saber is far better than Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and Ma Chao himself is a good swordsman, Guan Yu is tired of dealing with it, and has to distance himself from Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was waiting for this opportunity, and after the distance between the two horses was widened, Ma Chaole turned the horse's head, ran back behind him, and pulled his spear.
Cao's army had already retreated farther and farther, and Ma Chao stopped the cavalry that was preparing to pursue, because the enemy army had retreated into the rear valley, which was not conducive to the cavalry's performance, and catching up with it was tantamount to seeking death.
Guan Yu slowly retreated, keeping up with Cao Cao's troops.
"Green robe!"
Ma Chao shouted behind him, he didn't know the other party's name.
"Guan Yu, Yun Chang!"
Guan Yu reported his name, sped up his speed, and soon disappeared from Ma Chao's field of vision.
"Guan Yunchang?"
Ma Chao muttered to himself, this guy only fought with him three times, if the moves are so fierce, I am afraid that only the general can suppress the other party.
