At this time, the first echelon of the Xiliang Army's attacking army had rushed to within a hundred meters of the pass.

Naturally, Xu Chu would not reject the head delivered to his door, and he led five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to fight with the Xiliang army on the spot.

It is conceivable that under the charge of Xu Chu and the tiger and leopard riders, 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 being provocative. "Go back and tell Ma Chao that Xu Chu wants to fight him, don't let him be a coward."

Hearing that someone wanted to challenge Ma Chao to a one-on-one fight, the Xiliang Army who had fled back hurriedly reported the situation.

After Ma Chao learned about it, he was so angry that he wanted to lead his army to fight, but was stopped by Han Sui.

"Mazhou Mu, the person who came here directly threatened to find you. I'm afraid it was premeditated. It's better not to go, lead the army to press him back to the pass, and then intensify the attack with troops and horses, so as to ensure that Tongguan will be taken today."

It is important to win Tongguan, but some people take the initiative to provoke and refuse to fight. This does not agree with Ma Chao's actions.

Ma Chao thought for a while and said: "General Han's words are reasonable, but if he refuses to fight, he may lose ground. How about this, Honshu Mu asked General Pang to hold the line to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Since Ma Chao insisted on fighting, Han Sui was not trying to persuade him. After all, the relationship between the two was not as good as it appeared on the surface.

Seeing that Han Sui was silent, Ma Chao and Pang De explained a few words, and the two led five thousand soldiers and horses, and went straight to Tongguan.

The distance between the two armies was hundreds of meters. Ma Chao galloped out, pointing his gun at Cao Jun's formation and shouted: "Ma Chao is here, who wants to fight with Benzhou Mu?!"

Looking at the vigorous Ma Chao in front of him, Xu Chu felt a fighting spirit in his heart, and he patted his horse and went straight forward.

"Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang are here, Ma Chao, you must die!"

Seeing a warrior with a waist circumference of eight feet rushing straight towards him, Ma Chao's face was bloodthirsty, and he patted his horse to meet him.

"Boom!"

"choke!"

"Bang!"

……

The two battled each other, met their opponents, kept fighting back and forth, the weapons in their hands were unpredictable, and the fight was back and forth, making the people watching the battle sweating.

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

But now Xu Chu was able to fight Ma Chao back and forth, proving that the two were of equal strength, how could the Xiliang army not be alarmed.

Seeing that the two had fought for thirty rounds, and they were still fighting inextricably, Pang De couldn't help feeling worried.

First, there was Cao Hong, who was able to survive under Ma Chao's hands, and then there was Xu Chu, who was able to tie with Ma Chao.

Then if someone comes next, wouldn't it be able to kill Ma Chao, then what will they use to fight Cao Cao.

In terms of territory, Xiliang is one state, while Cao Cao has several states. In terms of military strength, they just took advantage of it for a while.

However, Xiliang is sparsely populated, and once it enters a real stalemate between the two sides, they may not be able to sustain it, and what awaits them is death.

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

Following Pound's thoughts, the battlefield became more intense. The two began to make various moves, and any move they put on an ordinary general would either kill him or injure him.

But on the two of them, it seemed to be just an ordinary trick, and they couldn't help their opponents at all.

Seeing that the hundred rounds were about to enter, the soldiers watching the battle on both sides felt their eyes were tired, but the two fought more and more courageously.

Just when everyone thought that the battle between the two would take some time, they didn't expect that Xu Chu's war horse suddenly stumbled and threw him off the horse.

Seeing Xu Chu fall to the ground, the Xiliang army burst into cheers. Cao Jun's face was indeed pale, and he wanted to step forward to rescue the five hundred tiger and leopard riders who had left the pass.

But Ma Chao was faster, and Xu Chu was the only one he had seen in his life who could fight him for such a long time without falling behind.

If he can be captured alive and persuaded to join him, then his strength will be raised to a higher level.

Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry coming to rescue him, Ma Chao patted his horse and held his gun, and swung at Xu Chu who had fallen to the ground, intending to knock him unconscious and take him away.

But Xu Chu was also brave. When he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him, he immediately turned over a few times, avoiding the spear being swung, and stabbed Ma Chao's mount with his backhand.

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

Seeing that Xu Chu stabbed the horse with his spear, he immediately pulled the reins and let the horse fall to the side to avoid the blow.

The blow failed, Xu Chu hurriedly took advantage of Ma Chao's unsteady figure, turned over, stood up and leaned against the charging tiger and leopard rider.

I thought that Xu Chu would retreat back to the pass when he joined the tiger and leopard riders, but he didn't expect that he would do something incredible.

"Go away and return to your original position. If you don't take down Ma Chao today, you will never go back."

He snatched the mount of a tiger and leopard rider, got on the horse, patted the horse and rushed towards Ma Chao, and continued to fight.

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

It's not that Pound doesn't want to help, but he wants to keep Ma Chao's reputation from being affected. If he leads troops to help, Cao Jun will probably use this as an excuse to make a big publicity, saying that Ma Chao was defeated by Xu Chu.

The reputation of Ma Chao alone can scare the foreigners in Xiliang. If there is someone more powerful than him, they will be scared and surrender.

At that time, Cao Cao promises some benefits, I am afraid that the foreign race will take refuge in Cao Cao, and Xiliang will be surrounded by then.

The battlefield was handed over to the two of them again, and they fought for more than a hundred rounds, and suddenly they separated and rushed back to the main formation, which made everyone watching the battle look confused.

They thought that the two would fight for a long time and wanted to end in a draw, but their next move made their jaws drop in shock.

Chapter 497 Yan Xing's First Appearance

It turned out that the two had been fighting for so long, and their mouths were dry, so they agreed to return to replenish water before continuing to fight.

Xu Chu gulped down a few bags of water, took off his armor, and returned to the battlefield with his arms bare.

This action made Ma Chao feel humiliated, and rushed out with a gloomy face, and the two fought together again.

The battle between the two was beyond everyone's imagination. From the moment the sun rose to the moment it started to set, the people who watched the battle felt tired.

Seeing that most of the time had passed, Han Sui showed a trace of indescribable expression on his face, and led Yan Xing, patted his horse and came to Pound.

"General Pang, this Xu Chu, I'm afraid Ma Zhoumu won't be able to take him down, why don't you go together, or lead the army to cover up and kill him, we can't let time go to waste."

Pound understood what Han Sui said, but if he did this, the result would not be what he wanted.

Pound thought for a while and said, "Even so, I'm afraid we won't be able to win Tongguan today. Let Master Zhou continue to fight. Maybe there is still a chance."

Han Sui shook his head and said, "Mazhou's prestige is of course important, but winning Tongguan is even more important. General Pang has to distinguish between the important and the important."

"Since Xu Chu can rush to support, there must be reinforcements behind him, so this time is very precious and must not be wasted."
