Chapter 451: The Battle of Guandu VI

With the arrival of Cao Cao, the Youzhou army led by Huo Yu decisively withdrew from the battlefield. The first battle was won, and the morale of the whole county was greatly shaken, but looking at the Cao army, the entire battalion looked lifeless.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the atmosphere on the boundary of Guandu is very weird, maybe this is the atmosphere before the war!

Although Cao Cao reprimanded Cao Ren for fighting privately, he never made the next move. In the face of the 100,000 army led by Huo Yuqin, it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

Fortunately, Cao Ren strengthened the defense in advance, and even if Huo Yu raised the whole army to attack for a while, it would be difficult to break through. According to the previous discussion, Cao Cao began to adopt the method of delay, and the daily consumption of 100,000 people was an astronomical amount, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of cavalry in the Youzhou army.

In the camp of the Youzhou Army, Huo Yu was gathering everyone to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord, Cao Jun can't avoid the battle, there is a lot of delay! The art of war is full of momentum, then declines, and then exhausts. If the Cao army sends cavalry to attack our army's grain road again...", the generals began to discuss.

"What Zhicai said is extremely true, but Cao Jun avoided it and did not fight." In fact, Huo Yu already had another bold plan in his heart, and the time had not yet come.

"Lord, the last general is going to fight!" Guan Yu, who was usually steady, suddenly jumped out.

"Does Yun Chang have a plan?" Huo Yu looked at Guan Yu with a smile and asked.

"Without him, fight!"

After finishing speaking, everyone suddenly realized. Guan Yu's plan was nothing more than to consume Cao Jun's fighting spirit again and boost his morale. Everyone discussed and discussed, but there was never a good way, and in the end they had to issue a war letter to Cao Jun and fight generals!

So Huh, Huo Yu wrote a letter to Cao Cao, and asked Cao Cao to fight in battle. To everyone's surprise, Cao Cao agreed.

Three days later, the two sides arrived according to the agreement, and Huo Yu and Cao Cao personally led 20,000 troops out of the camp and set up a position. It's not that Huo Yu is proud, but that he is afraid that there are too many troops, so he is afraid that the other party will not dare to fight.

After the three-way drum sounded, the two armies were in formation, and there was enough space in the middle.

"Who wants to take the lead?" The fierce generals on the side of the Youzhou army are like clouds, and Huo Yu is not good, so he has to turn around and ask.

"The last will go!" Ma Chao took the first step, and rushed out as he spoke, and Guan Yu, who was harmed, shook his head helplessly.

"I am Xiliang Ma Chao, can the enemy general dare to fight?" Not to mention anything else, Ma Chao's morale has already suppressed Cao Jun.

Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao in front of the battle, and sighed in his heart. There are so many fierce generals in the Youzhou army! If you have such strength...

Thinking about it, the reason why Cao Cao agreed to fight the generals was also out of desperation. Cao Ren was defeated, and the morale of the whole army was already low, and if he didn't fight now, I was afraid that this battle would be lost.

Anyway, Cao Cao also has Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and other generals around him.

"Zhong Kang fights!"

Of course, Ma Chao's name Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei, who was killed in Yizhou, was not embarrassed to cut his beard and robe. For the sake of insurance, Cao Cao had to let his personal bodyguard Xu Chu face the battle.

"That little white face, don't be arrogant!" The person hadn't appeared yet, and the voice had already come out, even Huo Yu was for a while.

"Knock knock!" The war drums in the Cao army's formation are ringing!

In an instant, a big man galloped out on a war horse.

"I'm going to report my name!" With the loud shout just now, Ma Chao knew that he had met his opponent today.

"Xu Chu!"

"Uh..." Hearing Xu Chu report to his home, Huo Yu sighed. I got Dian Wei, but I never found Xu Chu, it turned out that I had already been taken by Lao Cao's side.

"Xu Chu Zhan Ma Chao, providence, providence!" Huo Yu shook his head and laughed at himself.

Hearing Huo Yu's self-deprecation, the generals of Youzhou suddenly became vigilant, Huo Yu's ability to recognize people needless to say, it seems that Ma Chao has a difficult master.

Xu Chu didn't say much, galloped out of the battle, and came towards Ma Chao. After the two approached, the big knife in Xu Chu's hand went straight to Ma Chao's head and slashed down.

Ma Chao raised the steel gun in his hand and took Xu Chu's knife hard.

"Phew!" After a loud bang, the two of them crossed by mistake.

In the fight just now, Ma Chao felt the strength of his opponent, his face changed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "The strength of this guy is similar to that of Brother Dian, and you can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Xu Chu finished slashing with a knife, and saw Ma Chao blocking his blade, and snorted coldly.

Turning the horse's head to attack again, this time the knife changed and slashed at Ma Chao's upper body. At that moment, Ma Chao simply did not defend, and the steel gun in his hand shook and ran towards Xu Chu's heart, which was a trick that ended in the same end.

Ma Chaoxiang can withstand it with the defensive power of the armor on his body, but if Xu Chu doesn't move, this shot will be fatal.

At the critical moment, the big knife in Xu Chu's hand was quickly withdrawn, blocking the steel spear that stabbed in front of him.

Suddenly, an imperceptible smile appeared on Ma Chao's face. The steel gun in his hand turned around and went straight to Xu Chu's ribs.

Xu Chu turned the big knife and blocked Ma Chao's steel gun again. Then the knife momentum did not decrease, turned defense into offense, and rushed to Ma Chao to cut down, so the two horses fought together, and the soldiers on both sides applauded again and again.

"Drums to help!" Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu had an advantage, and happily gave the order.

"Beat the drums!" Needless to say, the generals of both sides fought fiercely in the field, and the drummers began to cheer off the field.

The martial arts of the two were already between the best, so the two of them couldn't stop at all. In the blink of an eye, fifty rounds were unmatched.

When encountering an evenly matched opponent, Ma Chao did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly accelerated the speed of his moves and increased the power of his moves.

How did he know that Xu Chu was even more difficult than he imagined, and he also saw the tricks and fought hard. After a hundred moves, Ma Chao tried his best, and he only fought with Xu Chu.

"I'm afraid it won't work like this." Ma Chao thought in his heart.

Suddenly, Ma Chao remembered the trick taught by Huo Yu, and after a false shot, he turned his horse's head and fled.

Xu Chu was furious, why did he run away after fighting for a long time without distinguishing the winner? So he chased after the horse.

After just a few breaths, Xu Chu caught up, and slashed at Ma Chao's back with a swing of the big knife. At the moment of crisis, Ma Chao turned around sharply and shot him.

This trick is the stunt taught by Huo Yu, return to the horse pistol!

This shot was stabbed quickly and urgently, and he was busy chasing Xu Chu obviously didn't expect it. When he reacted, the tip of the gun had already reached the front of him, and he didn't hesitate Xu Chumeng's sideways, fortunately he escaped the vital point, but he was stabbed in the left shoulder by Ma Chao.

When the severe pain came, Xu Chu suddenly became ferocious, ignoring his injuries, the knife momentum did not decrease, and he ran behind Ma Chao. At this time, Ma Chao twisted his body and couldn't dodge, so he took a knife hard.

"Poof!" Blood spurted from his mouth.

Fortunately, the armor was highly protective, and Ma Chao suffered internal injuries, otherwise this knife would have killed him.

The two rubbed apart again, gasping for air on their horses. Compared with Xu Chu, Ma Chao looks much better on the surface, but in fact, he is no longer able to fight.

"Good boy! I remember! Xu Chu's words can be regarded as a signal for the truce between the two.

In fact, the two sides have already rushed out of each of their respective generals, ready to cover the two of them and withdraw into the formation!
