Chapter 50 Nanye Zhu Rongtong Nanzhong Ma Chaoxing soldiers avenge his father (19)
Xu Chu's act of tearing up living people like an angry King Kong stunned the Cao soldiers who were crossing the river. Several soldiers who were swimming to the boat quickly turned around and swam towards the other boats.
Although most of the soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait saw Xu Chu's power, several unlucky Cao Jun did not see it. These Cao soldiers were just a few soldiers on the side of the boat. Xu Chu and Cao Cao shook off their hands when they landed on the boat. Coupled with the shaking of the boat, Cao's army beside these boats were all under the water, just missing the scene of Xu Chu's murder.
Several Cao soldiers on the side of the ship choked a few mouthfuls of river water, and their will to survive was stronger. As soon as he surfaced, before his eyes were opened, he instinctively grabbed the side of the boat and scrambled to get on the boat to escape for his life. The number of soldiers cling to the left and right of the boat was different, and the strength was uneven. With a shaking left and right, they almost overturned the boat, and Cao Cao almost fell down.
When Xu Chu saw that there were still dead soldiers who dared to hold the edge of the boat, he was even more angry. He picked up the phoenix-billed knife in the cabin and cut it randomly, and broke the hand beside the boat. Several more people soon appeared on the boat, and there were endless screams and howls under the boat.
There were no soldiers around the boat, but they did not go to the north bank, but slowly went down the stream. Only then did Xu Chu remember that no one was driving the boat and hurriedly stood at the stern of the ship and supported the boat with a wooden pole. Unfortunately, Xu Chu was good at fighting, but he was not good at driving the boat. The boat swayed and almost turned over. Cao Cao fell low at Xu Chu's feet before he was shaken off the boat.
Xu Chu was embarrassed to see that Cao Cao was so embarrassed. Suddenly, he saw a soldier beside the boat crossing the river. Obviously, he was a little watery. Xu Chu stretched out the wooden stick in front of the soldier and said, "Get on the boat!"
The river sergeant cried when he saw the wooden pony stretched out by Xu Chu and shook his head, "General Xu, the little one is not on the boat. Don't kill me!"
Xu Chu didn't expect that he would scare the soldier like this. He laughed in his heart, but he said angrily, "Who wants to kill you? Come on and drive the boat." After saying that, he picked up the wooden pony in his hand and picked up the river soldiers on the boat.
Most soldiers in the north don't know how to water, but those who know how to water grow up by the river and can drive boats. The soldiers who were brought on the boat by Xu Chu really had two sons. Knowing that Xu Chu was not going to kill himself, he took over the wooden pole to support the river.
With so many changes in the river, Ma Chao saw it. He couldn't wait to kill Cao Cao immediately, but he was stopped by 100 tiger guards on the shore. Cao Cao's tiger guards were specially trained by the inspiration of Nanye's personal guards. They were loyal and brave, and they were handed over to Xu Chu's training and leadership. Every tiger guard had the strength of Dubo and Tun generals. Even if they were one level worse than the mage's personal guards, they were much better than ordinary soldiers.
How could Hu Wei make him wish when he saw Ma Chao coming to kill Cao Cao? Despite the huge gap in strength between the two sides, they stopped Ma Chao's vanguard cavalry. Each of these tiger guards has a horse-killing knife, which is modeled after Xu Chu's phoenix-mouthed knife. When they see people cutting people and horses, they are not afraid of death. Their fighting style is actually eight points similar to that of the strange knife team in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When Ma Chaojun killed the last tiger guard, Cao Cao's boat had also crossed half of it.
Ma Chao rushed to the shore and saw the ship in the middle of the river, so he took a bow and shot an arrow. Xu Chu saw Ma Chao opening his bow on the boat and thought he was going to shoot Cao Cao, so he raised a saddle on the boat to cover him. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao did not shoot at Cao Cao. Instead, the boatman fell into the water and fell into the water with a wooden pole. The boat lost its support and rotated in the current.
Xiliang Iron Rider saw his general's arrows shouting, and also took a javelin and threw it into the river. However, although the javelin was powerful, the range was not far away and could not reach Cao Cao's boat. On the contrary, Cao's army, who was floating and struggling in the river, was shot countless times.
Ma Chao saw that the javelin was useless, so he ordered a few bows under his command to shoot around the river. For a moment, it was as urgent as rain. Xu Chu was covered by the rain of arrows but had no fear. He rose up his power on the ship, clamped the rudder with his legs to stabilize the boat, held a phoenix-billed knife in his right hand to support the boat on behalf of a pole, and raised his saddle in his left hand to cover Cao Cao, just like a god descending to the earth. Even Ma Chao on the opposite shore couldn't help but break.
Ding Fei, the magistrate of Weinan County, knew that Ma Chao and Cao Cao were fighting in his jurisdiction, so he ordered the people to hide in the mountain Wubao, and all the cattle, sheep and horses rushed into the village to prevent the looting of the army. Today, on the Nanshan Mountain, he saw that Ma Chao was very anxious to chase Cao Cao. He was afraid that Cao Cao would lose, so he ordered the people under his rule to drive away all the cattle and horses.
The Xiliang army was shooting Cao Cao in the river, and then heard the cattle and horses hissing behind them, and cattle and horses broke into the battle all over the mountains. There was a Qiang tribe in the Xiliang army, which was not disciplined. When they saw that Niu Ma had no intention to chase Cao Cao, they went to rob them. The army that had been scattered by cattle and horses was even more chaotic at this time, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to cross the river.
The camp generals on the north coast learned that Cao Cao was in danger and came to rescue, but Cao Cao had already landed. Everyone was shocked to see dozens of arrows in Xu Chu, who escorted Cao Cao. Fortunately, Xu Chu was dressed in heavy armor and covered the key points with a saddle, so he was not seriously injured. Most of the arrows were embedded in the armor, and a small number of arrows were shot into the armor.
Cao Cao praised Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang is a real tiger general! If it hadn't been for Zhongkang, he would have been trapped by the horse today!"
Xu Chu heard Cao's praise that although his face was full of red light, he did not dare to live alone, so he said, "If no one indulges in horses and cattle to lure thieves, the thief will try to cross the river to chase us."
Cao Cao asked, "Who is the one who seduces the enemy?"
An informed general replied, "Ding Fei, the magistrate of Weinan County."
When Cao Cao heard the words, he summoned him. After a while, Ding Fei entered the account, and Cao Cao thanked, "If it hadn't been for Ding Gongliang, I would have been captured by the thief." After saying that, Ding Fei was promoted to a military lieutenant.
Ding Fei said, "Although the horse thief is gone for the time being, he will definitely come back tomorrow. Cheng refused it with a good policy.
Cao Cao said, "I have been prepared for a long time!" So he ordered each battalion to set up banners as suspects, dug trenches along the battalion, spread branches and dead leaves, and then made traps with earth cover.
However, Ma Chao said that he had never captured and killed Cao Cao. Instead, he made Cao Jun cross the river and came to see Han Sui and said, "Today, he almost caught Cao Thief, but a general rose up bravely and took Cao Thief off the ship. This man is very brave, but his surname is unknown. There are also more than a hundred Cao soldiers holding knives to fight to the death. If it hadn't been for such a good soldier, Cao Thief would have died a long time ago.
Han Sui said, "I heard that Cao Cao chose a very strong man as the guard in front of the tent, called the Tiger Guard, and led by Xu Chu. Those who save Cao Cao today must be allowed Chu Huwei. Xu Chu is brave and powerful, and everyone is called a tiger idiot. If you meet a good nephew, you can't underestimate the enemy.
Ma Chao said, "It turned out to be him, and I have heard his name for a long time."
Han Sui said, "After Cao Cao crossed the river and attacked me, my nephew can attack it quickly and can't make him set up a camp. If a camp is set up, it will be difficult to eliminate it.
Although Ma Chao killed a lot of Cao soldiers today, he did not catch Cao and let Cao Bing's brigade cross the river. It can be said that although he won or lost, he complained that Han Sui's strategy was not good. If he kept it according to his own plan, at least he would not let Cao Cao cross the river. At this time, Han Sui came to make a plan again, and Ma Chao was a little unwilling to listen, but it was not easy to speak bluntly, so he said, "A soldier is tired today, and he will fight again tomorrow for fear of loss. With the foolishness of his nephew, if you want to fight quickly, you should change the army and horses.
