Chapter 37: Xu Chu Fights Lü Bu Bare-Handed

  Cao Cao, who had suffered a defeat, gathered his scattered troops and found that only 1,000 men were left. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei had all been dispersed, leaving only Cao Hong and Xu Chu by his side.

  This is also an inevitable thing, you think! Xu Rong's ambush was five times that of Cao Cao, and it would be strange if he didn't cut off Cao Cao for a while! Of course, Xu Rong still didn't die in vain, even if the result was to cut off Cao Cao. Even so, his more than 30,000 elite troops shot one arrow each and swung their swords, which was enough for Cao Cao to bear!

  At that time, the sky was probably around two watches, with a high moon, clear wind and a very beautiful scenery! Unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't have the mood to appreciate it, he was thinking about whether to continue chasing, continue chasing or continue chasing!

  "Hurry up and cook! For our Emperor! Gavas!", Cao Cao shook his head and came up with this sentence, Cao Hong asked in confusion: "Big brother! What kind of place is this? I didn't know you could speak a foreign language!"

  Cao Cao rubbed his nose and remained silent, thinking to himself: I understand a bit of foreign language! Should I tell him that I don't even know what I'm saying myself? Anyway, Cao Cao's calm and determined expression temporarily calmed down the fleeing soldiers.

  Just when everyone was about to have a picnic in the beautiful scenery, he came as an uninvited guest; you say this is just a meal, but why bring so many soldiers? Look at that expression, I'm going to... Is he thinking of swallowing it all by himself?!

  "Hahaha!", the familiar laughter, the opposing troops slowly parted to reveal a figure, who was it? --- Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian!

  "It's Lü Bu! ", Cao Cao, no matter what, was a man who handled big matters, he didn't panic, but his subordinates couldn't calm down, they were terrified! Lü Bu's ferocity and bravery were all things they had witnessed with their own eyes! As a result, a large group of people were about to scatter like birds and beasts.

  "What's the hurry? We still have Lord Cao! The name of Lord Cao's benevolence is renowned throughout the four seas! Are you still afraid that he can't take down a small Lu Bu?", someone who was fervently devoted to Cao Cao shouted loudly. Hmm!——Indeed, it seemed to work! These people all stopped and looked at Cao Cao, waiting for him to display his divine power and defeat Lu Bu;

  Wow! This is too trusting of me! Cao Cao raised his arm: "My men!", "Yes!", The generals responded passionately and generously;

  "Get out of here quickly!", he didn't care about the others who were still in doubt, anyway he ran first, and if Lü Bu came himself it wouldn't be scary! What was scary was that behind him there were tens of thousands of iron cavalry, which they couldn't handle.

  Everyone looked at me, I looked at them, and for a moment they were stunned. Suddenly someone shouted "Ah!" and everyone started crying out for their parents and running away.

  "Hmm...", Lü Bu, who was about to say a few words to boost morale, gloomily swallowed back the words that had already reached his throat. Fortunately, he didn't choke on them! He only managed to squeeze out one word: "Pursue!", but the generals under him didn't know about Lü Bu's frustration!

  What are they thinking? "Look at our war god! He's so handsome! Even speaking is so handsome! So cool! War God! - Love old tiger oil!", Oh! They don't even know this sentence! But that's what they're thinking, a group of Western Liang warriors yelling and chasing after Cao Cao, like a bull in heat chasing a matador!

  "Haha! Where are you running to, Cao Cao?!", Suddenly a dull sound, Cao Cao, who understood military tactics, knew it was the sound of war horses galloping. "Damn it! It's Xu Rong!" Cao Cao cursed, and only then did he realize that Xu Rong's troops were so easily broken through because they wanted to give him a gift!

  Alright! Boss Cao is now feeling for the first time what it means to have no way out and no place to hide, he has almost lost all hope.

  What is the best way to eliminate enemies in ancient times? Excluding fire attack, water attack tactics and strategies, referring to the means of war, direct dialogue between soldiers on both sides! That must be the covering shooting of bows and arrows, Xu Rong and Lü Bu used this method very unscrupulously.

  Cao Cao's army, surrounded in the valley, suffered heavy losses. He himself was also quite frightened, not wearing any protective armor, staring at the arrows rushing towards him. Cao Cao regretted it! He had been so arrogant earlier! Now his intestines were turning green with regret!

  It's a happy thing to have several profitable employees by the boss's side. Xu Chu was brave, fearless and loyal at critical moments! He pulled off his own armor and put it directly on Cao Cao's body without considering whether it fit or not. It was two sizes too big for Cao Cao, making him look like he had a chamber pot on his body, which was very ugly. But the key point is that it gave him a sense of security!

  "Break through the front line! --- Cao Hong! Protect our lord well!" Xu Chu's ferocity was triggered, and he even tore off his cloth robe, going into battle bare-chested. The Nine-Eared Eight-Ringed Elephant Nose Knife swung forward: "Tiger Guard Camp! Charge for me!"

  "Wait! That's Lü Bu!", Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Xu Chu shouted loudly: "The teacher has said: Lord Cao is a man who does great things! He cannot be defeated in this place! We are willing to be at the forefront and rear of Lord Cao's horse! To go through life and death, without hesitation! Who dares to block Lord Cao's way? Not to mention Lü Bu! Even if it were a god, I would cut off his head! Brothers! The time for sacrifice has come! Charge!"

  A few words moved Cao Cao to tears, this seemingly foolish Xu Zhongkang is truly a hero of loyalty and righteousness! When I get out, the year-end bonus will definitely be doubled!

  The Tiger Guard is also called the Xu Family Army, these five hundred people are all from Xu Family Village, each one is eight feet tall and has a broad waist, Li Yu constantly instills in them a belief during training, that is - sacrifice oneself for others!

  Sacrifice oneself for the lord, sacrifice oneself for family members. As long as they follow a good lord, the glory of the Xu family is not far away. By then, their wives and children will definitely live better than now!

  Cao Cao once paid Li Yu a salary in advance, which was also a reward, totaling fifty taels of gold! When Li Yu sent the money back home, he personally called them to take a look and said: This is Cao Gong's reward. As long as you all work hard, there is no need to worry about your family!

  Alright! Li Yu's words were very provocative, and these simple men also believed in them. Xu Chu led the charge with 500 elite troops against Lü Bu's main force of over 20,000 men! Swords and spears clashed, war horses neighed, people fell off their horses, and a bloody mess flew everywhere. Under the desperate impact of these men, they actually tore open a big gap in Lü Bu's army!

  "Lord, hurry up!", the Tiger Guards on both sides fought desperately to clear a bloody path for Cao Cao, who led his cavalry swiftly through without hesitation or pretence, only grabbing time could reduce the loss of these Han people.

  "Am I that insignificant?", Lü Bu was enraged! The God of War pulled the reins, Red Hare galloped towards Cao Cao, Fang Tian's halberd was raised high, with a strong intent to kill!

  "Halt, my lord! Xu Chu is here!", The bare-chested Xu Chu stood in front of Lü Bu, and at this moment he suddenly remembered Li Yu's words: "On a narrow road, the brave win!" Even if the opponent is the world's number one martial general, I dare to draw my sword! Rather than fighting until the last moment!

  Bravo! Xu Chu! Magnificent! Xu Chu!

  Xu Chu's extraordinary display of fury, his Nine-Eared Eight-Ringed Elephant Nose Sword wielded with great force and sinking momentum, continuously called out to Lü Bu, any soldier who approached him was swept away, the power was so great that it could be seen at a glance!

  Lü Bu was shocked, and his arm strength was actually surpassed by Xu Chu! What kind of medicine did this guy take? He's simply not human! Fortunately, Comrade Lü Bu's martial arts were unparalleled, and he had inherited the heroic spirit of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. When faced with Xu Chu's fierce attack, he didn't retreat but instead laughed loudly and charged forward!

  If a strongman competition were to be held among the Three Kingdoms warriors, the first place would undoubtedly go to Xu Chu, this kid has the strength of pulling over nine cows! The second place is fiercely contested! Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and others can all compete for it, Lü Bu is also one of them. Of course, what's being competed in a strongman competition isn't just brute force, techniques, momentum, and courage are all very important!

  Divide these, martial arts account for 50%, strength accounts for 30%, momentum accounts for 20%, bravery accounts for 10%, and the remaining factors such as horses and weapons account for 10%. Lü Bu is like an all-around warrior, he is the most comprehensive, so he becomes an unbeatable war god! Xu Chu was able to fight with Lü Bu in a short time with his momentum, bravery and strength.

  "Good, good! Finally met someone who can surpass me in strength! Brave warrior! Report your name! Under the banner of our lord, we do not kill those who are unknown!" Lü Bu asked with a hint of appreciation. Even if Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not gain his recognition, Xu Chu should feel honored!

  "Someone! Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang! Remember this! ", like two fierce tigers roaring at each other, neither gaining the upper hand! Xu Chu led five hundred Tiger Guards to buy time for Cao Cao's escape! They held back three million brave and skilled Western Liang soldiers right here!
