Although Xu Chu was not inferior in strength, the difference between the weapon in his hand and the war horse on his crotch was too great. Every time he fought hard, his arms became numb. After less than twenty rounds, he gradually fell into a disadvantage, and his hands were also swollen. Blood came out. .?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The horse refused to relax anymore, and he swung the 129-pound Tianlong city-breaking halberd in his hand and smashed it, which was purely a tough guy's style of fighting head-on. In a blink of an eye, when the battle was over fifty, Xu Chu's face was red, sweating profusely, and his fat body was panting. The hands holding the long knife were already dripping with blood, and his arms were trembling slightly, but he was still suffering with his fierce strength. Support the invincible situation. Ma Chao's Tianlong city-breaking halberd weighed fifty kilograms more than Xu Chu's long copper sword. Although he had the absolute upper hand at the moment, his physical exertion should not be underestimated. There was also a slight sweat on his forehead and temples. . Let¡¯s not mention the heated fight between the two, but let¡¯s just say that the people watching the battle on both sides were also sweating. It's okay for Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong. After all, Ma Chao has the upper hand now, and nothing will happen if they continue to fight. But Cao Cao didn't think so. He knew Ma Chao's bravery best. Now that he had just defeated General Guan Yu, if Xu Chu made another mistake, most of his family fortune would be lost. At that moment, he said to Qu Yi next to him: "Ma Chao has the courage of Lu Bu, and he cannot be defeated by one person! General Qu and General Wen both have the courage of ten thousand men. Why not take this opportunity to capture and kill Ma Chao in one fell swoop?" Qu Yi was very angry after hearing this. Feeling excited, he looked at Wen Chou, clasped his fists and said: "General Wen is the bravest of the three armies, and his martial arts is far better than this general. Why not take this opportunity to kill the general and make a meritorious service! If you can capture and kill Ma Chao, it will be an unparalleled achievement!" He was holding back his anger. His martial arts skills were far superior to Qu Yi's, and his achievements under Yuan Shao's account were not comparable to Qu Yi's. However, because of a few irrelevant letters, he was reduced to this state. Now is a good time to clear his name. At that moment, he raised his steel spear and said, "This is what I have in mind! I have long heard that Ma Mengqi has courage that no man can match. Today is the perfect time to give it a try!" After saying that, he patted his horse and rushed towards the front of the two armies. He was still far away. He shouted: "General Xu, please step back and let me deal with Ma Chao!" Ma Chao couldn't help being shocked when he saw Wen Chou coming with a fierce momentum. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could challenge Xu Chu and Wen Chou in a single fight. His mind was relaxed. It is inevitable that the attack on the hands will be a meal. When Xu Chu heard this, it was as if he had taken a stimulant, and actually regained some of his disadvantage, shouting: "General Bu Laowen takes action, I am enough!" At this moment, Ma Chao's camp was also seen flying out. On a white horse, a young man in white robes and silver armor sat upright. He was an extraordinary warrior. He held a bright silver gentian spear and pointed at Wen Chou. He shouted: "What kind of hero is it to win with more? Zhao Yun is here!" Wen Chou has also heard of it. In the name of Zhao Yun, he did not dare to neglect at that moment. He raised his gun and rushed forward. The turtle-backed camel dragon gun weighing seventy-eight kilograms in his hand stabbed Zhao Yun straight into the throat. Zhao Yun's face was solemn, and he immediately dodged and shot Wen Chou in the heart Both of them were masters of spears, and it was difficult to tell them apart for a moment. Seeing Zhao Yun catch Wen Chou, Ma Chao couldn't help but become determined, and attacked fiercely with his hands, and quickly regained the upper hand with his advantage of strength and weight. Four fierce generals fought against each other in front of the two armies, and the fight was inextricable. The battle lasted for less than half an hour. At this time, Ma Chao and Xu Chu had fought for more than a hundred rounds. Although Ma Chao had the upper hand, it was difficult to win for a while. Zhao Yun and Wen Chou also fought for more than fifty times. Although his gentian silver gun only weighed sixty-six pounds, it was like a silver gun shadow under the increase of Bai Niao Chao Feng gun. With his unparalleled speed The advantage firmly suppressed Wen Chou at a disadvantage. Seeing that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun had the upper hand, Cao Cao and Qu Yi couldn't help but become anxious. The purpose of the fighting generals in front of the battle was to boost their morale. Guan Yu had already lost for a while, so if Chu and Wen Chou were defeated again, their morale would plummet. . Cao Cao frowned and sighed: "Ma Chao's men are indeed full of talents, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. If this continues, the two of us will not be able to escape defeat!" Qu Yi nodded and said, "Cao Gong's men are also full of fierce generals. You can send a few more strong generals to help, and you can win in one battle." Cao Cao shook his head, pointed at the enemy opposite with his riding whip and said: "General Qu, please look, the enemy is already ready to move, if our army sends more generals! Going to war will inevitably arouse the public outrage of the enemy, and it will be a full-scale battle between the two armies. The enemy's morale will be high, and our army's morale will be low. It is not a wise move!" Qu Yi thought it right and said immediately: "What Duke Cao said makes sense! ! But this general has been negligent. According to Cao Gong, what should we do now?" Cao ** thought for a while and said: "The only advantage of our army is that we have a large number of people. Although Ma Chao's army is elite, our army is also weak. It's not like a mob. Since the fighting generals can't win, it's better to attack them unprepared and destroy Ma Chao's main force across the river in one fell swoop! Then attack the hinterland of Jizhou where the troops are empty! According to what Duke Cao said!" After speaking, he drew his sword and shouted loudly: "All generals, listen to the order and prepare the entire army to attack. Those who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds will be rewarded greatly!" Cao ** also shouted:"Xiahou Dun, Gao Lan, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan listen to the order and fully cooperate with Yuan Jun to capture Ma Mengqi alive!" "The whole army attacks! We swear to kill the enemy!" "Kill!" "Charge!" Following Qu Yi's order, hundreds of thousands of troops took the lead in launching a carpet-like charge like a tide. The drums and horns sounded, and the killing sound shook the sky. From a distance, it looked like a black wave. Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were fighting in full swing. When they saw the enemy suddenly charging, they couldn't help but feel frightened. They quickly jumped out of the battle group and returned to their own formation. How could Xu Chu and Wen Chou, who were so angry, let go of such a good opportunity? He didn't even remember how embarrassed he was when he was beaten just now. At this moment, he actually showed the spirit of beating up a drowned dog and chased after him. Huang Zhong and Gao Shun wanted to attack, but when they saw Ma Chao and Zhao Yun both returning to their own formation, they quickly bent their bows and shot a few arrows at Xu Chu and Wen Chou. The two of them dodged to avoid it, but did not dare to go deeper alone. They slowed down their horses and waited for the arrival of the large army. However, the two of them returned to their own formation in a few breaths. Ma Chao was panting and shouted: "According to the plan, Zilong led his headquarters to disperse the enemy troops, and Gao Shun led the trapped camp to protect Zilong's wings! Han Sheng and Cao Organize long-range firepower" "Get the order!" After receiving the order, the generals immediately took their positions and prepared to fight to the death. The Yuan-Cao coalition took the lead in attacking, but at the forefront were more than 10,000 cavalry, half of which were Gongsun Zan's troops. Then came the archers and spearmen, which were obviously used to deal with Ma Chao's cavalry. Finally, there are the miscellaneous soldiers, with a variety of weapons in their hands, and there are more than 100,000 people. The Yuan-Cao coalition had the upper hand. At this moment, they had already rushed half the distance, and were only two hundred steps away from Ma Chao's cavalry. Huang Zhong and Cao each held a big flag. As the flag waved, the 40,000 cavalrymen in front immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, and 40,000 feather arrows were thrown away at a 45-degree angle. Although the rain of arrows was not dense, the formation of the Yuan-Cao coalition was extremely dense. Just one round of arrows caused thousands of casualties, especially the cavalry rushing at the front. Then came the second and third rounds. The three rounds of feather arrows focus on hitting the cavalry at the front. As the enemy gets closer and closer, the hit rate becomes higher and higher. When more than 10,000 cavalry rushed to the 50th step, there were already less than 5,000. The infantry behind the cavalry had relatively few casualties because of the cavalry as a shield. At the same time, the archers in the Yuan-Cao coalition also began to fight back, and the dense arrows also caused thousands of casualties to Ma Chao's army. At this moment, Ma Chao waved his flag, and the ordinary cavalry in front immediately ran to both sides, and then a steel wall was revealed, shocking the entire audience. This wall of steel is where Ma Chao's most elite heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry are trapped. The five thousand heavily armored cavalry had become famous all over the world when they defeated Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. Their terrifying impact and destructive power were enough to frighten any enemy. The heavy armored cavalry designed by Ma Chao himself is far more than just a simple matter of scattering enemy troops. At this moment, the heavy armored cavalry is not only wearing a heavy armor with the highest defensive power, but there are also three iron chains connecting the war horses to the war horses. The iron locks were covered with barbs and spikes, making them unbreakable and frightening at first sight. Five thousand war horses lined up in a huge rectangular square, with densely packed iron locks in the middle. They immediately formed a chain of horse formations, and the enemy troops they encountered were either killed or wounded. Five thousand heavily armored cavalry formed a half-moon formation under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and charged into the enemy like sharp spearheads. The spears and bows of the Yuan-Cao coalition could hardly cause actual damage to the heavy armored cavalry. The cavalry, relying on the momentum of the charge, penetrated the enemy's chest like a sharp knife. Wherever it passed, people turned on their backs and blood flowed into rivers. The enemy troops were either killed by the cavalry's swords or were dragged by iron chains and trampled to death by the horses. As the heavy armored cavalry began to charge, the formation of Yuan and Cao's coalition forces was completely broken up. The ordinary cavalry on both wings also took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and rushed into the enemy army brandishing their sabers. The final attack was made by the trapped camp and other infantry troops led by Gao Shun. Although the enemy suffered heavy casualties, the remaining number far exceeded Ma Chao's army. The rest quickly stabilized their positions and fought independently under the command of their respective generals. With nearly 300,000 people on both sides stretching for several miles, the generals on both sides have long since lost their command. The victory or defeat depends entirely on the command of the middle and low-level generals and the eliteness of the soldiers. Ma Chao watched the battle for a long time and frowned when he saw that although the Yuan-Cao coalition was at a disadvantage, it was not defeated. Even if such a fierce battle continued, even if they could win, they would suffer heavy losses. After thinking for a while, he turned around and shouted: "All officers, please follow me to the battle to kill the enemy! If we win this battle, the whole army will be rewarded!" "Swear to follow the lord to the death!" "Please give the order, lord!" By now, almost all of Ma Chao¡¯s 100,000 troops have been dispatched. Only the soldiers responsible for protecting Ma Chao¡¯s safety and the veterans responsible for beating drums and cheering have not been dispatched. These five hundred soldiers are all elites selected from tens of thousands of troops.?, the combat power is by no means outstanding. Under the personal leadership of Ma Chao, five hundred cavalry immediately launched a charge. Ma Chao took the lead and went straight to where Cao Cao and Qu Yi were watching the battle. He slashed left and right with the Tianlong city-breaking halberd in his hand. No one could stop it wherever it passed. He formed a small detachment with his five hundred soldiers to attack Yuan Junzhongjun.
