Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

The phantoms flashed away, and the people around Hu Chi'er screamed and fell to the ground.

It was too close, and it was at night, and the average person could not dodge the deadly arrows.

But there is one exception, and this person is Hu Chi'er.

I saw Hu Chi'er waving a big knife quickly, and all the arrows that came were removed by him.

Hu Chi'er blocked the arrows and rushed towards Niu Fu Xu Huang, roaring again and again, looking like he was choosing people and being fond of them.

Seeing this, Niu Fu couldn't help but be shocked. Hurriedly drew his saber and prepared to fight. Niu Fu was a little nervous, Hu Chi'er had followed him for many years, he knew Hu Chi'er's bottom line, this Hu Chi'er was quite brave, if he fought alone, Niu Fu was not Hu Chi'er's opponent at all.

At this moment, Xu Huang, who was beside Niu Fu, stepped out with a big axe and greeted the menacing Hu Chi'er. At this moment, Niu Fu felt a trembling momentum from Xu Huang.

Hu Chi'er saw Xu Huang coming up, and a bloodthirsty light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The surrounding soldiers saw that Xu Huang had left, so they immediately put down their bows and arrows. At this time, except for Hu Chi'er, all the other people on Hu Chi'er's side had already died under the random arrows.

Hu Chi'er held a terrifying broadsword and rushed towards Xu Huang, screaming violently when he was still a few steps away from Xu Huang, and at the same time, the whole person jumped high and slashed towards Xu Huang with great momentum.

Seeing that Xu Huang was about to be split in half, at this moment, Xu Huang suddenly turned sideways and narrowly passed the opponent's blade. And the big axe in his hand took advantage of the momentum from the bottom to the top.

To be honest, the speed of the big axe in Xu Huang's hand was not fast, but Hu Chi'er, who fell sharply from mid-air, could not avoid it.

I saw a flash of blood, and a head rose into the sky in the cold moonlight, accompanied by a puff of blood red.

Immediately, I heard a loud bang, and Hu Chi'er, who had lost her head, slammed it to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Niu Fu, who was not far behind Xu Huang, was stunned. Although he had known Xu Huang for a long time, he never knew that Xu Huang was so powerful! Hu Chi'er was an out-and-out fierce general, even Niu Fu was not his opponent, and Xu Huang actually divided Hu Chi'er's body with one axe.

Xu Huang glanced at Hu Chi'er's headless corpse lightly, then turned around and happened to see Niu Fu's stunned expression.

Of course, Xu Huang knew why Niu Fu was like this. Thinking that although he Xu Huang is extraordinary in martial arts, he has never had a chance to perform under Yang Feng, except for Yang Feng in Dong Zhuojun, I am afraid that not many people know how many catties Xu Huang has.

At this time, looking at Niu Fu's stunned and inexplicable expression, Xu Huang's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness.

"General Ushifu. Xu Huang walked up to Niu Fu and called.

Niu Fu came back to his senses with a shock, and then hugged his fist at Xu Huang with admiration and said: "I didn't expect General Gongming's martial arts to be so exquisite! It seems that Taishi and Zhong Jian have lost their eyes before!"

Xu Huang smiled faintly, and didn't say anything on this issue, but asked Niu Fu: "What are General Niu Fu's plans next?"

Niu Fu sighed very vicissitudes and replied: "My cronies have betrayed me, I really don't know where to go!".

Xu Huang thought for a moment, and then proposed: "General Niu Fu might as well join Cao Gong with me, how about it?"

Hearing this, Niu Fu immediately thought about it, "This Xu Huang is strong in martial arts, and he no longer has any capital, so it is better to rely on Xu Huang to find a place in Cao Cao's army."

Thinking of this, Niu Fu solemnly hugged his fist at Xu Huang and said, "If General Gongming doesn't dislike it, I am willing to follow the general to Cao Cao!"

Xu Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he only nodded lightly.

In order to show that he sincerely followed Xu Huang, Niu Fu then took out most of the treasures brought out from Longxi and gave them to Xu Huang.

Although Xu Huang accepted the treasure, he distributed all the treasure to his own soldiers. It was only at this moment that Niu Fu understood why Xu Huang's soldiers were so loyal.

Early the next morning, Xu Huang and his party went on the road. After crossing Chencang Mountain, they planned to follow the Han River eastward, pass through Jingzhou and Yuzhou to Cao Cao's stronghold Yanzhou, and then defect to Cao Cao.

This road is more than thousands of miles! Xu Huang and his party are afraid that they will have to walk for some time.

The news of Guanzhong's victory soon spread to Bingzhou. However, Chen Chu did not get this exciting news. It turned out that Chen Chu had already led his army to leave Bingzhou at the same time as Lu Bu's troops were attacking. At that time, Chen Chu left with Xu Shu and 70,000 troops, of which only 20,000 foot soldiers of the Hexi Army followed Chen Chu to the most difficult Huguan, while the remaining 50,000 cavalry of the Blue Wolf Battalion supported Jiguan under the leadership of Xu Shu, Chen Chu sent Xu Shu to Jiguan to supplement Guan Yu's shortcomings, to ensure that the defense of Jiguan was foolproof, and Xu Shu also brought a complete set of battle plans.

Chen Chu led 20,000 foot soldiers of the Hexi Army to rush day and night, and it took only five days to arrive at Jiguan.

As soon as he came to Jiguan, Chen Chu couldn't help but gasp. At this moment, the Kei Pass is like a ruin, basically none of the houses in the pass are intact; many places in the pass are filled with black smoke; the streets and alleys are full of bloodied wounded soldiers, and the corpses of many fallen soldiers who have not had time to deal with them are placed on both sides of the street in rows; there are many people who are not wearing armor and are busy shuttling back and forth among the wounded soldiers, they are the surrounding people who have volunteered to defend the city, but Zhang Fei did not send these people to the battlefield.

Chen Chuqin led the reinforcements to arrive, and the morale of the Huguan soldiers couldn't help but be boosted.

As soon as he arrived at Huguan, Chen Chu didn't have time to rest for a while and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"Yide, what is the current situation? How many soldiers are there in the pass who can fight?" The anxious Chen Chu asked two questions in a row.

Sitting on the left of Chen Chu is Zhang Fei, the guard general of Huguan, and sitting on the right of Chen Chu is Tian Feng, and under the two of them sit dozens of generals, including Chen Chu and the generals of Huguan. The spirits of the generals who followed Chen Chu over were not bad, but the generals who were originally stationed in Huguan, including Zhang Fei and Tian Feng, were not in a good mental state, and their eyes were sunken and bloodshot.

Hearing Chen Chu's question, Zhang Fei replied in a hoarse voice without thinking about it: "Now there are only more than 9,000 soldiers left who can fight in Huguan! Among them, there are only more than 1,000 warriors left who are the most capable of fighting! There are less than 300 catapults left! There are still half of the ballista cars left! There are only 97 left!". These numbers are in Zhang Fei's heart all the time, and he doesn't need to think about it at all, and he doesn't need to ask.

Chen Chu frowned slightly and nodded, and then continued to ask: "What

is the situation of the city wall and the city gate?" "The city gate has been knocked open twice! I have now completely blocked the city gate with a big stone, and it is impossible for Cao Jun to enter the city through the city gate! The overall situation of the city wall is okay, but a corner of it was collapsed by Cao Jun, although it has been repaired by us with wood and stones, but it is the weak link in the defense of the entire section of the city wall!" These days, the Cao army has attacked the city wall from here many times, and our army has paid a great price each time to defeat the Cao army!" Zhang Fei replied with a frown.

Hearing this, Chen Chu's brows furrowed even tighter.

After a pause, Chen Chu said: "I have brought 20,000 foot soldiers this time, including 3,000 Mo sword soldiers trained by our army! In addition, there are also 200 thunderbolts and 600,000 wolf tooth arrows that have just been produced from the Martial Arts Research Institute!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei and Tian Feng both showed joy. At this time, Chen Chu looked at the two of them and asked, "With these, how long do you think we can stay in Huguan?" "

Big brother, with these conditions, my old Zhang Guan can't pass the Huguan when he calls Cao Cao!" Zhang Fei patted his chest very arrogantly and said loudly.

Chen Chu smiled, and then set his eyes on Tian Feng.

Tian Feng understood, so he immediately replied: "Although the Cao army still has more than 200,000 people, it is no problem for our army to hold out for more than a month!"

After a pause, Tian Feng explained: "The Cao army has exhausted its sharp strength in the siege battle for more than a month, and their attack strength is far less than before. However, our army has 20,000 fresh troops to join, and a large number of supplies have arrived. In this case, I said that it is actually a conservative estimate to be able to hold on for a month!"

Hearing Tian Feng's answer, Chen Chu's frowning brows stretched slightly.

"One month! one month is enough!" Seeing

the puzzled eyes of the two, Chen Chu smiled slightly and explained: "I believe you all know about General Wenyuan leading 50,000 Youzhou legions to attack Jizhou. At that time, there will be a battle plan in the direction of Keiguan to cooperate with General Wenyuan's actions. If nothing else, Yuan Shao will definitely retire from the army!".

When he said this, Chen Chu was confident and confident, in fact, Chen Chu's heart had no bottom at all, although all the battle plans for Yuan Shao were very detailed and thorough, and it was very likely to succeed, but it was more likely to fail, as long as there was a problem in any link, all efforts would be in vain, especially Zhang Liao's way was a dangerous move, although Zhang Liao led the army through Youzhou to attack Jizhou's battle plan is difficult for anyone to think of, but Zhang Liao is very likely to fall into a heavy siege because of this, if Zhang Liao falls into a heavy siege, Chen Chu's side is basically unable to rescue。

After listening to Chen Chu's words, Zhang Fei immediately became excited, and said in a hoarse voice: "As long as Yuan Shao withdraws from the army, we can concentrate our forces and teach Cao Cao a good lesson!"

Not only Zhang Fei, but the other generals present also excitedly exchanged their heads and ears.

Tian Feng on the side was not as excited as the generals, although Tian Feng, who was resourceful, only heard Chen Chu say a rough plan, but he saw the danger of the whole plan.

Tian Feng was a little worried in his heart, but he didn't say it, after all, such news was undoubtedly an exciting good news for the defenders who had been fighting hard for more than a month.

The crowd was excited for a while before it quieted down.

Next, Chen Chu made some adjustments to the defense of Huguan. The exhausted soldiers of the original Huguan were withdrawn and repaired, and at the same time, the 20,000 fresh troops he brought were divided into two groups and took turns to guard the city wall.

Cao Cao's side did not know anything about the arrival of reinforcements from the Northern Army, and early the next morning, Cao's army still began to attack the city as usual.
