Chapter 439 Brotherhood! Guan Yu Arrives!

"kill!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly and fought with Xu Chu. Both of them used one-handed broadswords. The red blood sword was longer in style than the splitting wind sword. The red blood sword had a longer and narrower blade, which was more like a sword. , the blade of the Splitting Wind Knife is thicker and shorter, tending to be a traditional broadsword.

It stands to reason that when the Scarlet Blood Knife and the Wind Splitting Knife are fighting against each other, the Scarlet Blood Knife will definitely not be able to stop the Wind Splitting Knife's powerful attack. However, the Scarlet Blood Knife's blade is so easy and narrow, and if replaced by other such knives, the Wind Splitting Knife will be better. Under the chopping, I am afraid that it will be broken in one blow, but the Red Blood Knife has been fighting with the Wind Splitting Knife for dozens of times. The Scarlet Blood Knife still shows no tendency to break into pieces. Instead, it becomes more and more courageous as it fights, glowing with golden light. Soaring into the sky, it looked like a golden dragon on the battlefield.

"Cao Ren, do you dare to leave Xu Chu here? Believe it or not, I will risk my life to kill him!"

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Reng who was forced to stop in place and was about to continue the pursuit. He shouted quickly, and Xu Chu sneered.

"Ignore it and continue to hunt Ma Chao. He is just a Huang Zhong. Is he worthy of me?"

Seeing that Cao Ren ignored him and continued to chase Ma Chao, Huang Zhong suddenly became anxious. He only stopped one Xu Chu, which did not reduce the pressure much for Ma Chao. Huang Zhong wanted to take action again to stop Cao Ren, but was forced by Xu Chu with a knife. He had to block, but when he blocked, Cao Ren was already galloping away.

He wanted to help, but he was entangled by Xu Chu and couldn't move away at all. Although Huang Zhong blocked the fatal knife from Xu Chu's back, he was still hit by Xu Chu in the back, and the armor on his back had cracked. , blood gushes out from it. This time, the Red Blood Knife did not absorb Huang Zhong's blood and allowed the blood to drip on the ground.

"Huang Zhong, let's go and capture him. If you are willing to defect to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will definitely spare your life and treat you with a high official and generous salary!"

While fighting with Huang Zhong, Xu Chu opened his mouth to put pressure on Huang Zhong, but what Xu Chu said was true. Huang Zhong's performance just now is definitely not an exaggeration to describe as amazing, especially the one who just blocked Cao Ren's pursuit. An arrow is even more powerful. If such people are willing to join Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao will definitely be willing to have a thousand or ten thousand.

So Xu Chu was not deceiving Huang Zhong, but he really wanted to help Cao Cao conquer Huang Zhong. However, how could Huang Zhong betray Gu Rubing.

"Bah, what a piece of shit Prime Minister! Compared with my lord, he is not even a piece of shit!"

Huang Zhong, an elegant old general, unexpectedly cursed Cao Cao in a rare occasion. Huang Zhong's insults made Xu Chu feel really angry, and his eyes seemed to burst out with fire. Cao Cao was absolutely forbidden to Xu Chu. , No one is allowed to disrespect Cao Cao.

Xu Chu didn't waste any more words and swung his sword towards Huang Zhong. The battle between the two sent out waves, making it impossible for the surrounding soldiers to step forward to help Xu Chu.

However, Huang Zhong had already experienced a long battle and was injured, while Xu Chu was in his prime. Huang Zhong gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight between the two, and the wounds on his body were also gradually increasing. Just when Huang Zhong was about to When he couldn't hold on anymore, a loud shout suddenly came, and then a figure in white clothes stained with some red blood rushed into the crowd.

"Xiliang Jinmachao is here!"

With a loud shout, the figure held a spear and pointed at Xu Chu. Behind him, two other people chased him into the crowd. It turned out that they were Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun who were chasing Ma Chao. Huang Zhong saw At this scene, he froze in place, and then reprimanded angrily.

"Why are you back again! Do you want your life?"

Huang Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs. He never expected that Ma Chao had obviously escaped far away and had great hope of surviving, but now he would take the initiative to return here and be deeply surrounded.

Ma Chao shot away Xu Chu, who was confused, and then came to Huang Zhong's side with a hearty smile.

"Old General, it's too lonely for you to die alone on this foreign grassland. I can't bear to let you die here alone. If you want to die, die together. Brothers have a companion, and there is no one on the road to Huangquan." Not so lonely!”

While Ma Chao was speaking, the remaining 800 cavalrymen under his command also rushed into the encirclement and came to the two men's side.

"That's right, General Huang, leaving you here is not the style of our brothers. Even if we can return to Bingzhou alive by then, I'm afraid we will be even more miserable than we are now."

"Hahaha, that's right, General, we came with you from Yuzhang County, so we can be considered your soldiers. How miserable it would be if none of your soldiers were with you at the last moment."

"General, please remember us. If you wait for us to go back, you won't be able to give us promotions or titles."

The cavalrymen had smiles on their faces, without any fear of death. They started to play around. Looking at the scene in front of them, the angry Huang Zhong gradually calmed down. He stood there, neither laughing nor scolding. Neng sighed helplessly.

"Since everyone is back, let's fight. It's probably impossible to escape. Then we can only kill a few more Cao soldiers before we die."

Huang Zhong's voice was heavy, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Brothers, kill one to get back your money, kill a pair to earn one, kill!"

Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong who had recovered, raised his tiger-headed golden spear, and took the lead to rush into Cao's formation. Huang Zhong smiled slightly, roared at the same time, and charged at the enemy. The cavalry also raised their spears, each looking at death as if they were dead.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao simultaneously focused on Cao Ren, who had just been injured by Huang Zhong's arrow. He was the only one injured, so he was the best choice for the two of them to attack. Without any one of them, the two of them started to attack Cao Ren at the same time. Both of them had the same idea. Killing one person together is at least better than two people being defeated one by one separately.

The cavalry also had a clear goal, to kill first, regardless of whether they were injured or not, they would kill first. If they killed one, they would get their money back, and death would not matter.

When Xu Chu and Xia Hou saw the two attacking Cao Ren at the same time, they naturally would not stand aside. The two of them joined forces to support Cao Ren to prevent Cao Ren from being lost in this battle. It was originally intended to be a siege against Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and the others, but it was a proper attack. If they really lost one person in the battle, it would be a big joke. They didn't dare and would never let this happen.

As the two men joined the battle, Cao Ren's pressure was instantly reduced a lot. In addition, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun were also very strong. The three of them quickly suppressed Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was even stronger due to his injury. Weaker, so more pressure falls on Ma Chao. Ma Chao deserves to be called Xiliang Jin Ma Chao. He can temporarily withstand the siege of two people, and can help Huang Zhong from time to time.

Compared with the battle between the two, the battle between the cavalry under their command was much more brutal. They faced an encirclement of 20,000 people, and they only had 800 people.

Although on average each person can replace two to three people, it is still to no avail. It is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. However, this is a war that is destined to annihilate the entire army. If you can replace one, you will naturally earn one, so they all It was a crazy fight without any flinching.

Just when the whole army was about to be defeated, a horse suddenly appeared at the end of the grassland, and its speed was staggering. It was approaching the battlefield quickly, causing everyone to look at that figure.

That fiery red figure had just appeared at the end of the grassland. In an instant, it was almost reaching the battlefield. It was only a few hundred meters away from the battlefield. Everyone finally saw clearly who that person was. In an instant, the bodies of Xu Chu, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun trembled at the same time. It was the fear coming from the depths of their hearts that made them unable to control their bodies.

The visitor was Guan Yu, who was galloping all the way from Qingzhou. After more than a day of traveling, Guan Yu entered Wuhuan's territory. However, because Huang Zhong and Ma Chao kept making detours in order to avoid the pursuit of Cao Jun and Wuhuan cavalry, Guan Yu I have been looking for them on the grasslands of Wuhuan territory and have just found them.

"How dare a group of people who want to betray their leader dare to commit crimes?"

Guan Yu brandished his sword and charged directly into the crowd. Cao Ren couldn't help but swallowed as he watched Guan Yu's figure gradually approaching.

"I didn't expect it was Guan Yu. It seems that all our preparations were in vain."

"Let's go, it won't be good if we stay here."

Xu Chu also spoke. He knew clearly that the three of them were definitely no match for Guan Yu. They even had no power to fight back against Guan Yu. Staying here would have no other effect than losing their lives in vain. Now Their only choice was to retreat quickly while Guan Yu wanted to protect Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, and there were temporary obstacles from his soldiers.

Otherwise, if Guan Yu is determined to kill the three of them later, they will have to leave at least one or two lives to stop Guan Yu.

The three of them turned their horses and began to retreat without any hesitation. Xu Chu roared at the same time.

"retreat!"

The Cao soldiers who heard this voice panicked. None of them had ever seen Guan Yu go on a killing spree. They were already frightened by Guan Yu. Coupled with Xu Chu's voice, 20,000 soldiers It collapsed immediately and receded like the tide.

Guan Yu did not go after them. For Guan Yu, he could kill them at any time, but the lives of Huang Zhong and Ma Chao were the most important now. The purpose of his coming to Wuhuan this time was precisely because of these two people.

Seeing Guan Yu's arrival, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao both let out a long sigh. They also knew that Guan Yu's arrival meant that they were safe and their lives would no longer be in danger.

Huang Zhong was out of strength at this moment and put the Scarlet Blood Knife back behind his back. The moment the Scarlet Blood Knife was put into the sheath, where no one could see it, it instantly changed from golden to crimson, just like the golden color just now. It's like the Red Blood Sword doesn't exist at all.

"Yun Chang, you are here."

Huang Zhong said weakly. The moment the Red Blood Sword was sheathed, it was as if Huang Zhong's energy had been drained away. Thanks to Ma Chao coming behind Huang Zhong and holding him up, he didn't fall off his horse.

"Han Sheng, Meng Qi, you have worked hard, just have a good rest and leave the rest to me."

Guan Yu said softly. Although his voice was small, his words were deeply believed. No one questioned the weight of his words, because everyone knew that since Guan Yu was here, no matter how great the danger was, it would not be enough. Afraid.

With the arrival of Guan Yu, Cao's army had no intention of fighting anymore and all retreated. Guan Yu even slashed three times from beginning to end and killed more than a thousand riders. The opponent retreated directly, leaving Guan Yu no chance to continue the slaughter. Opportunity, and Guan Yu did not choose to continue the pursuit because he cared about Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.

"Repair it where you are, and take a rest. I will protect the formation for you."

Guan Yu said softly to the two of them, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao both cupped their fists and handed them over.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yunchang. Let's take a rest first. Once we have rested, we will set off immediately."

"Okay."

Guan Yu nodded slightly. Knowing that both of them were injured, Guan Yu did not say anything more. He did not affect their rest. He just rode Red Hare to their north, standing there alone with a single horse and a single sword. Although he was alone, he gave people a feeling that it was difficult to break through even with thousands of troops. Just looking at him from a distance made people feel palpitations.

The three fleeing people saw that Guan Yu did not chase them, so they naturally slowed down. They had been chasing Huang Zhong and the other two, and they did not have much time to rest. Now they were all exhausted and needed to rest quickly. This was not the Han Dynasty, but the hinterland of Wuhuan, and there would be dangers everywhere.

The three of them took the remaining 18,000 cavalrymen to find a sheltered valley. In this vast grassland, a sheltered valley is rare. It is already evening, and the autumnal equinox has passed. A hint of chill can be felt on the grassland. Coupled with the endless strong wind on the grassland, the originally bleak night seems even colder.

"Let's stay here. Guan Yu came to save Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Since he didn't chase them just now, he won't chase them now."

Cao Ren glanced at the gradually darkening sky and immediately suggested to rest here first. Xiahou Dun looked around.

"Well, it's okay. At least it's a sheltered place. Let them rest first. The continuous journey and pursuit are almost at their limit."

Xu Chu has never cared much about this kind of thing. This time he came out to only fight, and everything else was up to Cao Ren. This was a death order given to Xu Chu by Cao Cao before the trigger, fearing that Cao Ren could not suppress Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was a man who took Cao Cao's words as imperial decrees. As long as Cao Cao said it, he would do it. So Xu Chu played the role of a vanguard and brave general all the way. Except just now, when he proposed the idea of ​​retreating at the critical moment of life and death, he did not participate in any other decision-making and let Cao Ren command.

Because it was a forced march, they only brought some dry food and water, nothing else. Now they were almost out of ammunition and food, and there was no tent. They could only sleep on the ground, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, to stay here for a night. Fortunately, there was a lush grass up to the height of the calf, which could block some of the wind for them on this windy night, so that they could sleep peacefully.
