Chapter 497 Chess Meets Opponents

Since he chose to fight, he naturally had to recover his physical strength, Xu Chu divided Cao Hong's five hundred tigers and leopards to ride, and led the rest of the tigers and leopards to ride, killed himself in an open space, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

When Xu Chu arrived, it was close to the third watch, and it had not been a few hours before he fell asleep, and the sky began to light slightly, and the horn of the Xiliang Army also sounded one after another.

Awakened by the sound of the horn, Xu Chu went to the room in a hurry and had a full meal before going to the closing building.

When he came to the Guanlou and saw that Cao Hongzheng was directing the soldiers to enter the defensive position, Xu Chu stepped forward and asked, "General Cao, how long will it take for the Xiliang Army to attack?" ”

Listening to the inquiry, Cao Hong said: "Soon, according to the normal situation, the Xiliang army should come in less than a quarter of an hour." ”

Xu Chu nodded and said, "Okay, General Cao will continue to command the defense, and Xu will go out of the city to fight first." ”

Cao Hong stepped forward, approached Xu Chu and said: "General Xu is brave, but you must not be careless, Ma Chao is not an ordinary person, if he is not an opponent, he will retreat immediately." ”

"Got it." Xu Chu waved his hand, turned around and went down the building, gathered five hundred tigers and leopards to ride, opened the gate and rushed out.

At this time, the first echelon of the Xiliang Army had rushed to within 100 meters of the pass.

Xu Chu naturally did not want the head sent to the door, and led five hundred tigers and leopards to ride and fight with the Xiliang army on the spot.

It is conceivable that under the rush of Xu Chu and the tiger and leopard cavalry, the two thousand Xiliang troops were killed and fled in less than half an hour.

Seeing that the Xiliang Army was so vulnerable, Xu Chu couldn't help but provoke a few words. "Go back and tell Ma Chao that Xu Chu wants to fight him, don't let him be a turtle with a shrunken head."

Hearing that someone was going to find Ma Chao to fight alone, the Xiliang Army, who fled back, hurriedly reported the situation.

When Ma Chao learned about it, he was naturally angry and wanted to lead the army to fight, but was stopped by Han Sui.

"Mazhou Mu, someone came to threaten to find you directly, I'm afraid it's premeditated, it's better not to go, lead the army to press him back into the pass, and then increase the number of troops and horses to tackle the key problems, and ensure that Tongguan will be won today."

It is important to take Tongguan, but some people take the initiative to provoke and do not respond to the battle, which does not echo Ma Chao's actions.

Ma Chao thought for a while and said: "What General Han said is reasonable, but he should not fight, I am afraid that he will fall into the handle, so let's do it, Benzhou Mu let General Pang suppress the formation to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Since Ma Chao insisted on fighting, Han Sui was not persuading, after all, the relationship between the two did not want to be so good on the surface.

Seeing that Han Sui was not speechless, Ma Chao and Pang De explained a few words, and the two led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Tongguan.

The difference between the two armies was hundreds of meters, and Ma Chao galloped out, pointing at the Cao army with a gun and shouting: "Ma Chao is here, who wants to fight in Benzhou?!" ”

Looking at the high-spirited Ma Chao in front of him, Xu Chu felt a sense of war in his heart, and slapped his horse and went straight forward.

"Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang is here, Ma Chao is a husband, and he will die!"

Seeing an eight-foot warrior with a waist circumference rushing straight forward, Ma Chao's face showed bloodthirstiness, and he patted the horse to meet him.

"Boom!"

"Choke!"

"Bang!"

……

The two of them fought, chess opponents, kept fighting back and forth, the weapons in their hands were unpredictable, and the fighting came and went, which made the people watching the battle look in a cold sweat.

Ma Chao's prestige has long been spread in Xiliang, and he can fight with him without dying, and he can be touted for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of war of the Xiliang army.

And right now, Xu Chu can fight back and forth with Ma Chao, proving that the two are equal in strength, which makes Xiliangjun not be shocked.

Pound saw that the two had been fighting for thirty rounds, and they were still inseparable, and he couldn't help but worry.

First there was a Cao Hong, who could survive under Ma Chao's hands, and then another Xu Chu came who was able to draw with Ma Chao.

So if there is someone next, wouldn't they be able to defeat Ma Chao, so what will they do to fight Cao Cao.

In terms of territory, Xiliang is one state, and Cao Cao has several states, and in terms of military strength, they only take advantage of it for a while.

And Xiliang is thin and sparsely populated, once it enters the real stalemate between the two sides, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it, and what awaits them is destruction.

But there is still a chance now, then take Tongguan, Chang'an and other places, and maybe there is still a chance.

With Pang De's thoughts, the battlefield became even more intense, and the two began to make various moves, and any move on the body of an ordinary military general could make him either dead or injured.

But in the two of them, it seems to be just an ordinary trick, and they can't help their opponents at all.

Seeing that they were about to enter the 100th round, the soldiers watching the battle on both sides felt their eyes tired, but the two of them became more and more courageous.

Just when everyone thought that it would take some time for the two to fight, they didn't expect Xu Chu's war horse to suddenly lose his horse and throw him off the horse.

Seeing Xu Chu landing, the Xiliang army erupted in bursts of cheers, Cao Jun was indeed pale, and with the five hundred tigers and leopards riding out of the customs, he wanted to come to the rescue.

But Ma Chao is faster, and Xu Chu is the only person he has seen in his life who can fight him for so long and not fall behind.

If he can be captured alive and persuaded to join his command, then his strength will be even higher.

Seeing that the tiger and leopard were about to come to the rescue, Ma Chao slapped the horse with a gun and swung it at Xu Chu, who fell to the ground, trying to knock him unconscious and take him away.

But Xu Chu was also brave, and when he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him, he immediately turned over, avoided waving a spear, and stabbed Ma Chao's mount with his backhand.

Ma Chao's original mount was killed in an ambush last time, he was distressed and sad for a long time, and this mount was found by him with great effort.

Seeing Xu Chu's spear stabbing at the war horse, he immediately pulled the reins sharply, causing the war horse to fall to the side to avoid this blow.

The blow was not successful, Xu Chu hurriedly took advantage of Ma Chao's unstable body, turned over, stood up and rode towards the rushing tiger and leopard.

I thought that Xu Chu would retreat to the customs after joining the tiger and leopard ride, but he didn't expect that he would make an incredible move.

"Go away, wait for you to return to your original position, if you don't win Ma Chao today, you will never return to the customs."

I saw him snatch the mount of a tiger and leopard, turn over on the horse, slap the horse and rush to Ma Chao, and continue to fight.

Hearing the order, the tiger and leopard cavalry quickly retreated, which made Pound, who was ready to support, also stop the soldiers.

It's not that Pang De doesn't want to help, but in order to keep Ma Chao's reputation unaffected, if he leads his troops to help, I'm afraid Cao Jun will use this as an excuse to hype up, saying that Ma Chao was defeated by Xu Chu.

Just a Ma Chao's reputation can make Xiliang's alien race frightened, if there is one more powerful than him, I am afraid that they will be frightened and surrender.

At that time, Cao Cao will have some benefits, but he is afraid that the alien race will take refuge in Cao Cao, and Xiliang will be surrounded by that time.

The battlefield was handed over to the two again, and after more than 100 rounds of fighting, they suddenly separated and rushed back to their own formation, which made everyone watching the battle look confused.

thought that the two had been fighting for a long time and wanted to end in a draw, but the next move shocked them.
