Chapter 1813: Cutting the beard and abandoning the robe
Xu Chu and Ma Chao killed three to five hundred rounds outside Chang'an City.
Although it was not yet summer, they had been fighting for a long time, and both of them were sweating profusely.
Sweat soaked through the battle robe, making Xu Chu feel very uncomfortable.
The bronze armor was soaked in sweat, and the grinding of the skin was even more uncomfortable.
Taking advantage of Ma Chao's attack again, Xu Chu shouted angrily, raised his big knife to hold his halberd, and then slammed it hard.
Ma Chao and the war horse were taken back several steps by Xu Chuding.
Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't step forward again, Xu Chu grabbed the collar of the armor and pulled it hard.
The armor made of bronze and cowhide was actually torn into two pieces by him.
Throwing the armor to the ground, Xu Chu, who felt relaxed, let out a loud cry and rushed towards Ma Chao.
The two of them were killed in the dark, and Cao Cao at the head of the city was thrilling.
Seeing Xu Chu tearing off his armor, Cao Cao was worried that he would be injured by Ma Chao, so he hurriedly ordered to the side: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”
There was a sound of gold at the head of the city, and Xu Chu and Ma Chao were separated from each other in the fight.
"Don't go if you have the ability!" Ma Chao didn't chase after him, but just stimulated Xu Chu with words.
Xu Chu did not show weakness: "If it weren't for Cao Gongmingjin, I would have cut off your head today." ”
In a hurry, Xu Chu rode his horse to the city gate.
Ma Chao shouted from behind: "Xu Zhongkang, if you have the ability, you will kill three hundred rounds again!" ”
Xu Chu ignored him and rushed directly into the city gate.
As he entered the city, the gates slowly closed.
At the foot of the city wall, Xu Chu jumped off his horse and jumped up to the city quickly.
When he came to Cao Cao, he saluted first, and then said, "Cao Gongming Jin, I have to come back." Give me another half an hour, and I will definitely be able to bring back Ma Chao's head. ”
"Zhong Kang tore off all his armor and was naked, so it would not be light if he was bumped into it." Cao Cao said: "I think that Ma Chao is also a capable person, and I will find an opportunity to kill him in the future." ”
"Obey the orders of the Duke of Cao." Xu Chu didn't dare to say more, so he had to respond.
Holding Xu Chu's arms with both hands, Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked everyone, "Look at Zhongkang, does he look like a tiger?" ”
"General Xu's martial arts are outstanding, and he fights with Ma Chao like a tiger." Someone immediately chimed in: "Cao Gong's metaphor is really appropriate." ”
"Not only like a tiger, but also a little crazy." Cao Cao said pityingly: "On the battlefield, the armor was torn off. It's a tiger idiot! ”
Cao Cao's words brought Xu Chu the name of "tiger idiot".
In the following days, Cao Jun also went out of the city several times, but each time he was driven back by the Xiliang army.
The continuous battle was unfavorable, and Cao Cao was a little anxious.
Standing at the head of the city, looking at the Xiliang army outside the city, Cao Cao said to Xun You and the others on the side: "I plan to personally lead the troops out of the city, what do you think?" ”
"If Cao Gong goes out of the city, please send a vanguard." Xun You said: "If Cao Gong personally leads the troops, I am afraid that Ma Chao and Han Sui will take advantage of the situation to attack, which is not good for Cao Gong." ”
"Since I'm going out of the city, of course I can't walk behind." Cao Cao said: "Gongda don't worry, I have a way to deal with it." ”
Xun You wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Cao raised his hand to stop him: "Gongda doesn't need to say it anymore, I have made up my mind!" ”
Even Xun You's suggestion Cao Cao didn't take it, and the other staff members didn't say much.
"Pass the order, the army will follow me out of the city and defeat the Xiliang army!" Cao Cao issued a military order to Xu Chu.
The order was given, the order was given, and Cao Jun was quickly prepared.
After a stick of incense, the gate of Chang'an slowly opened, and Cao Cao led the army out of the city.
For several days in a row, Cao Jun would go out of the city almost every day to fight.
Knowing that Cao Jun was out of the city again, Ma Chao and Han Sui hurriedly got on their horses and went to the front of the array to check.
Seeing Cao Cao from afar, Ma Chao said: "Cao Cao actually personally led his troops out of the city, it seems that he is determined to repel us this time." ”
"Since he has a heart, we might as well retreat." Han Sui said: "If Cao Jun is far away from Chang'an, and then suddenly attack, he may be able to capture Cao Cao in one fell swoop." ”
Ma Chao didn't speak, just smiled slightly.
Han Sui instructed the guards on the side: "Pass the order, the army retreats, and make way for Cao Cao." ”
Cao's army went out of the city, and the Xiliang army also began to retreat.
Seeing the Xiliang army retreating, Cao Cao laughed and said to the left and right: "I said that I would go out of the city in person, Han Sui and Ma Chao were really afraid." When they retreat, we will follow and pursue, and do not let them retreat easily. ”
The order was given, and Cao Jun followed closely behind the Xiliang Army and chased after him.
At the head of the city, Xun You saw this scene and hurriedly ordered a guard: "Go and catch up with Cao Gong and tell him to beware of fraud." ”
The guards galloped down the city walls and stepped out of the city on their horses.
Xun You reacted quickly, but Cao Cao had already chased a distance with the army at this time.
was chasing the retreating Xiliang army, Cao Cao heard a shout behind him: "Cao Gong go slowly, Xun Gong asked me to come and remind me, beware of fraud!" ”
Hearing the shouting, Cao Cao stopped.
The guards assigned by Xun You came to Cao Cao: "Qi Cao Gong, Xun Gong asked me to come and remind ......"
He had already heard what he was shouting just now, and Cao Cao raised his hand to stop him.
Looking at the Xiliang Army in front of him, he also felt that something was wrong.
The Xiliang army withdrew too easily, and before the two sides fought, they kept retreating, and there should be something strange in them.
Cao Cao has always been suspicious, and he also has an extremely keen sense of danger.
Sensing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Cao army: "Withdraw to Chang'an!" ”
Ma Chao and Han Sui, who were running in front with the Xiliang Army, glanced back.
They found that Cao Jun was making a U-turn.
"It's not good, Cao Cao has discovered our intentions." Han Sui shouted, "You have to stop him as soon as possible!" ”
Ma Chao was the first to turn around and rode his horse to chase after Cao Jun.
The retreating Xiliang army got the order to turn back and fight, and they all turned around.
The Cao army, which was returned just now, chased after the Xiliang army, and at this time actually made a reversal, and the Xiliang army began to catch up with the Cao army.
The Xiliang cavalry was faster than Cao's army, and soon caught up with the retreating Cao army.
The cavalry collided with the retreating Cao soldiers, and a battle broke out not far from Chang'an.
Cao Cao, under the protection of several generals, galloped in the direction of Chang'an.
A Xiliang cavalry suddenly appeared in the oblique stab.
These Xiliang cavalry shouted while charging: "Don't go Cao Cao, he is the one in the red robe." ”
Hearing the chaotic shouts of the cavalry, Cao Cao hurriedly took off his red robe and threw it on the ground.
Without the red robe, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and Xiliang Jun shouted: "The beard is Cao Cao!" ”
Cao Cao grew a long beard, and as soon as Xiliang Jun shouted, he hurriedly raised his sword and cut off his beard.
Ma Chao, who was chasing Cao Jun, saw this scene from a distance and shouted to the soldiers: "Pass the order, and it is Cao Cao who has his beard cut off." ”
When the Xiliang army shouted, "The one who cut off his beard is Cao Cao", Cao Cao, who fled to Chang'an, felt a burst of chagrin in his heart.
It's a pity that he has a good beard, and he wouldn't cut it if he knew that he would be discovered by Xiliangjun......
