371. The Battle of Yecheng

After Cao Cao left, he did not return to Xuchang City, but came directly to Yecheng. The road was unimpeded, and it took them ten days to arrive in Yecheng.

During this time, Guan Yu would send people to attack the city every day, and the walls of Yecheng were strong, otherwise they would have been smashed by catapults. But even so, the originally good city wall has been smashed with holes. Even the city gate was smashed, and then Cao Zhang followed Xun Chen's advice and directly sealed the city gate with stones.

Seeing that the city wall was already in danger, Cao Cao arrived with his men and horses at this time. Cao Zhang was relieved when he saw his Lao Tzu coming. Cao Cao was also very happy to see that Cao Zhang did not throw away Yecheng, and the father and son chatted for half the night that night.

After turning the day, Cao Cao ordered someone to remove the rubble blocking the city gate, and then he led the team out of Yecheng. Guan Yu already knew that Cao Cao was coming, and this time he heard a report from the soldiers: "Cao Cao asked the second general to go and reply outside the camp." ”

Guan Yu nodded after listening, and then took Pang De, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, and Gao Ran, who rushed to reinforce him, out of the camp together. Cao Cao saw Guan Yu and the others coming out, so he urged the horse to take a few steps forward. Behind him, Xu Chu followed closely, lest Guan Yu's side would be unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Guan Yu twisted his long hair in his hand, and then also urged the horse to come to the front of the formation. Cao Cao saw Guan Yu coming over and immediately smiled: "Yun Chang hasn't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

"Lao Cao Gong is worried, a certain family is very good!" Guan Yu replied lightly.

Cao Cao didn't care about Guan Yu's tone, and he said to himself: "I want to ask the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong that day, and meet Yun Chang for the first time, and Wen Jiu and Hua Xiong have achieved Yun Chang's great name." Now that I think about it, it feels like it was yesterday. ”

"Gong Cao asked a certain family to come out today, is it to reminisce about the past? If so, please forgive me for having military affairs in a certain camp, and I will leave here! Guan Yu said that he was going to beat the horse back.

Before Cao Cao could speak, Xu Chu behind him stopped doing it. This is exactly the death of the lord humiliating the ministers, seeing Guan Yu speak unceremoniously to Cao Cao. Xu Chu screamed, he took two steps in and walked past Cao Cao and shouted at Guan Yu: "Guan Yu Pifu, you dare to despise my lord so much, do you think that the knife of a certain family is not good?" ”

Guan Yu glanced at Xu Chu and said, "I look at you like a person who sells his head, why should I care!" "Guan Yu's meaning is very clear, you look like you have a straw mark on your head, ready to sell yourself. Xu Chu shouted after hearing this: "What a red-faced thief, a certain family is going to meet you for a while today!" After Xu Chu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Cao's command, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Guan Yu.

Cao Cao looked at it, and he got it, and he started fighting! Haven't you finished preparing yourself? At the moment, he shook his head and silently retreated to his own formation. Cao Cao retreated, not to mention, and said that only Xu Chu and Guan Yu were left in front of the two armies. Xu Chu's knife just now was blocked by Guan Yu, and he riveted his strength to swing the knife and slash it at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu casually dissolved Xu Chu's move with a knife, this time he didn't wait for Xu Chu to attack again, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand stood up suddenly, and then slashed diagonally from top to bottom.

This knife seems to be extremely slow, but it is actually extremely fast. This is exactly the knife technique that Guan Yu comprehended after breaking through, turning complexity into a collection of thunder and a knife. Xu Chu didn't expect Guan Yu's counterattack to be so sharp, he roared: "Open it for me!" The big knife in his hand swept over from the bottom to the top to meet Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife.

The two knives collided in mid-air, and a loud local sound was like thunder on dry land, which shook the two people's war horses and roared, and then each took two steps back. The knife just now seemed to be evenly divided, but in fact, Xu Chu knew that he had lost, because just now he had used ten percent of his strength, and then seeing that Guan Yu was still calm, it was obvious that he did not do his best just now.

Xu Chu gritted his teeth, since his strength is not good, he can only work hard. When he got here first, he simply gave up the defense, and the big knife wheel drove and slashed Guan Yu's upper body. Guan Yu sneered, how could he not see that Xu Chu's playing style could not last long at all. As long as he is steady and steady, he will inevitably show flaws in less than ten moves.

Xu Chu was also more and more anxious at this time, there was no way Guan Yu was really too stable, and if he continued like this, he would definitely lose without five moves. If he is defeated, who else in Cao's army can balance Guan Yu! No, I can't beat him, I have to run away quickly. Thinking of this, Xu Chu's eyes widened, and a roar came out of his mouth. Then he shook his sword and walked away.

Guan Yu didn't expect Xu Chu to escape, so he immediately chased after him. Guan Yu's mount was a BMW horse that Han Fei found for him, and it was more than a step stronger than Xu Chu's war horse. The two of them ran towards Cao Jun's army formation one after the other, seeing Xu Chu being caught up by Guan Yu little by little, if nothing else happened like this, he would soon be killed by Guan Yu on the horse.

At this moment, fifteen horses ran out of the Cao army's array, and the fifteen generals pulled their weapons and rushed to kill Guan Yu. Guan Yu saw the person on the other side killing, he didn't care and still chased forward by himself, and at the same time, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed at Xu Chu with one move.

Xu Chu heard that the evil wind behind him was not good, and he didn't dare to turn around at this time to take it. He was afraid that he would really not be able to leave if he took a trick. simply let him see that there was someone on his side answering, so Xu Chu rolled on the horse's back and rolled off the horse at once. Guan Yu's knife failed to cut Xu Chu's body, and in the end he only split his war horse in half.

Xu Chu got up on the ground, and without saying a word, he still ran to the formation on his side. Guan Yu was chasing with the heart, and at this time the reinforcements arrived. Fifteen generals received Cao Cao's order to rescue Xu Chu. Of course, if Guan Yu can be killed, it will be even more perfect.

But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Facing Guan Yu, the most of these fifteen generals only made three moves. After three moves, all fifteen people were killed on the spot by Guan Yu. All this happened too quickly, from Xu Chu's escape to Guan Yu's killing of the fifteen generals, it was only a blink of an eye. At this time, Xu Chu had successfully escaped back into the team.

Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu had returned, and he didn't have the heart to fight Guan Yu again, so Mingjin collected his troops and returned to the city. Guan Yu immediately crossed his sword, watched Cao Jun return to the city, and returned to the camp with a wave of his hand. Losing this battle and losing fifteen generals, Cao Cao's face was extremely ugly. If Guan Yu can't be contained, then this battle really can't be fought.

When Cao Cao was in a dilemma, Xu Youjin said: "Lord, that Guan Yu is too powerful, and it may be difficult to resist it alone. It's really not good, you can transfer another member of the big guy, okay in the future? ”
