Teng Xiao smiled and said: "I didn't expect the lord to appreciate Xu Huang so much, and he has a very high opinion of him. The general is very envious when he hears it. Hehehe!"

Li Li nodded with a smile, his eyes fell on Xu Huang who was under the city, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

It is true that he said that he had heard about Xu Huang just now, although it was a prevarication, it was not a lie.

As a person of later generations, how could Li Li have never heard of Xu Huang?You must know that in the later Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lao Luo has always regarded Liu Bei as the orthodox, and he has a lot of criticisms about Cao Wei and the civil servants and generals of Soochow, but his description of Xu Huang is mostly positive.This is one of the few positive figures among Cao Wei generals.It can be seen that Xu Huang's character and ability are commendable, so many people think that Xu Huang is the first of the "five good generals", and even Cao Cao praised Xu Huang for his talent as Zhou Yafu.

What Li Li valued the most was Xu Huang's simplicity and loyalty.

Historically, since Xu Huang joined Cao Cao, he never asked for credit or rewards, and lived a simple life. When he died of illness, he still told his son not to waste money.Such frugality is rare in the world.Even in the homes of ordinary people, people have to put on new clothes after death and bury them cleanly, let alone Xu Huang, who was then the right general.In addition, Xu Huang took Cao Wei Jiangshan as his own responsibility throughout his life.Take this as motivation and work diligently.hard working.Unswerving until death.Therefore, Xu Huang was highly praised by the kings and generals of all dynasties and regarded as a generation of famous generals.

Thinking secretly, Li Li suddenly frowned slightly, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head and ordered to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you three brothers are going to go out of the city to fight for Gongming! If what I expected is right, Sun Ce is going to It's time to fight. Gong Ming fought with Huang Gai and Han Dang for more than 60 rounds, and was wounded by arrows. I'm afraid he is not Sun Ce's enemy. If Sun Ce goes out to fight, let Meng Qi go to fight, don't hold back, let him see See the bravery of my Xiliang general, otherwise he will think that I, Li Li, are afraid of him!"

"Promise!" Ma Chao said with a smile on his face after respectfully obeying the order: "I heard that this Sun Ce can survive thirty rounds under Lv Bu's command. The opponent who can fight with me is too idle to feel uncomfortable, this time, Sun Ce just relaxes his muscles and bones, let's see how brave he is to be so arrogant!"

Li Li nodded slightly, and said: "Meng Qi's martial arts is superb and fast. This is a fact that our army's generals can see. His combat power has already ranked among the top ten generals of our army. But I want to remind you, don't underestimate the enemy, Sun Ce It is not known how martial arts are, but it can be inferred from detailed investigation reports that his bravery is not inferior to his father Sun Jian, or even surpassed. Sun Jian was famous as the "Jiangdong Tiger" during his lifetime. He took the lead in entering Luoyang City. Although Sun Jian is dead now, this Sun Bofu, regardless of his young age and lack of fame, has followed Sun Jian in the north and south since he was a child. He is brave and powerful, Meng Qiduan must not underestimate him, otherwise he will inevitably lose!"

"No, the general will remember!" Ma Chao responded with a bow.Then he adjusted his armor a little bit, and strode away from the tower with a silver spear in hand, while Ma Dai and Ma Tie brothers followed closely behind to go down the city.

Ma Chao is arrogant by nature and rarely convinces others, but he admires Li Li deeply, respecting and fearing him at the same time.In recent years, he has always strictly implemented all the things Li Li confessed, even his father Ma Teng cannot be compared with Li Li.

If the Ma family father and son still had doubts about Li Li before, then since Ma Yunluo was formally accepted by Li Li as his concubine, the Ma family father and son have completely turned to Li Li and have no other intentions.Because their Ma family and Li Li were already sitting in the same boat, once Li Li was defeated, it would be difficult for the Ma family to survive alone, as if they were all prosperous and all lost.

Just when the three Ma Chao brothers led two thousand cavalry and were about to go out of the city, Xu Huang, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who were fighting in front of the battle, had also entered the stage of fierce fighting.

But seeing Xu Huang, who had a feathered arrow stuck in his back, slashed Han Dang back with an axe, and then turned to fight Huang Gai, still hitting Huang Gai head-on with his axe.Up to this time, the two sides had fought fiercely for more than 60 rounds. Although Xu Huang was still brave and fierce, his offensive was slightly weakened due to excessive power consumption.After that, the arrow wound on his back tortured him all the time. The wound bled profusely. His entire back was covered in blood, and the battle armor on the back was dyed dark red.

After such a long battle, Xu Huang is already at the end of his strength, and the reason why he is still able to survive is because he held his breath and gritted his teeth until now.If he can't hit either of Huang Gai and Han Dang severely within ten rounds, I'm afraid he will relax completely, and then the general situation is gone, there is no hope of winning, and it is very likely that he will be defeated by the combination of Huang and Han.

In fact, Xu Huang didn't know that Huang Gai and Han Dang were not at ease at this time, and they were even worse than him.

Since the war, although Huang Gai and Han Dang are two-on-one, sometimes supporting left and right, sometimes attacking back and forth, they seem to have the main attack advantage, but in reality they are not.

Han Dang is good at bows and arrows, and has superb riding skills, but in a frontal confrontation with bows and arrows, he can only attack once by surprise.It will not be easy to repeat the old tricks, and the chances of success will also drop sharply.After giving up the bow and arrow, a pair of short maces in his hand could hardly pose a threat to Xu Huang, not to mention that his own strength was not as good as Xu Huang's.Therefore, Han Dang could only contain Xu Huang's attack and create opportunities for Huang Gai, always in an auxiliary position to cooperate with Huang Gai's attack.

Huang Gai, who was attacking Xu Huang head-on, although his own strength was not inferior to Xu Huang's.However, his riding skills are somewhat unsatisfactory, not as good as Xu Huang and Han Dang.Therefore, every time he swung his saber to charge, he had to leave room for attack. He used at most [-]% of [-]% of his strength, and the remaining [-]% had to be left to take care of the horses under his crotch.For fear of falling off the horse with too much force.Once he fell off the horse, he and Han Dang would be in danger.It is very likely that Xu Huang will seize the opportunity to severely injure one of them.If so.Once the joint attack was broken and Han Dang's harassment was lost, Huang Gai thought he was not Xu Huang's opponent, and he would definitely lose.

It is the inhumane difficulties that make Huang Gai unable to give it a go.And in the head-to-head confrontation with Xu Huang, he also consumed a lot of energy.He just held on and didn't show it. In fact, he was also at the end of his strength and couldn't hold on for long.

Few soldiers of the two armies could see the real situation of the fighting generals in front of the battle.But there are also discerning people.For example, Sun Ce in front of the allied army and Li Li, Teng Xiao, Li Zhi, Ma Chao and others on the tower, they can see the whole story of the fighters in front of the battle with their extraordinary eyesight and their own profound martial arts experience.

Because of this, Li Li suddenly frowned, and then sent Ma Chao and his three brothers out of the city to help, so as not to make mistakes for Xu Huang.On the contrary, Sun Ce in front of the Allied forces also knew that the strength of the two generals Huang Gai and Han Dang was false, so he held the Overlord Spear tightly and the reins in his hand, ready to move.And this scene was also discovered by Li Li, so he told Ma Chao to pay special attention to Sun Ce's actions. Once Sun Ce hits the horse and kills, Ma Chao will fight against him.

"Crackling!"

Just when Huang Gai and Han Dang were attacking Xu Huang from left to right, the Wencheng gate suddenly opened, followed by the sound of rumbling horseshoes galloping out, which was heard from far and near to the ears of the three fighting in front of the battle.

In an instant, Huang and Han's expressions changed when they heard the sound, and they looked up at the city gate in astonishment. They saw thousands of cavalry galloping out of the city. He rushed to the front of the battle like a lightning bolt.

At this moment, Huang and Han looked very anxious, slightly stunned, and slowed down their attacks involuntarily.

At the same time, Xu Huang, who was always looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy, was not affected at all, because he knew that the soldiers and horses coming out from behind him were all his own, so he didn't need to worry at all, let alone look back.

At this moment, when Huang and Han slowed down their attack slightly, Xu Huang jumped up on his horse, swung the Xuanhua ax with both hands, and swung the ax horizontally with all his strength, forcing Huang Gai to slash it.

"clang!"

Caught off guard, Huang Gai hastily swung his saber to meet the attack, and then the saber collided with the Xuanhua ax in the air, making a loud bang.With one blow, Huang Gai's arms trembled, and the battle knife in his hand was instantly swung away by the big axe. Immediately, a cold shadow of the ax struck head-on at a speed hard to distinguish with the naked eye.

"Dum, thump, thump!"

Seeing the shadow of the ax approaching, Huang Gai didn't have time to think about it. Enduring the bursting pain on his arms, he puffed up his cheeks and swung the knife vigorously to resist.When the weapon collided again, Huang Gai's hands burst open, and two ferocious streams of heat flowed from his arms. They flowed retrogradely, poured into his shoulders, and then rushed into his chest and viscera like a broken bamboo, causing his heart to ache, and a mouthful of hot blood rushed into his chest. Throat, raised his head to spit out a mouthful of blood.At the same time, the rider under his crotch was shaken back a few steps, screamed and neighed, and his front hooves jumped wildly, causing Huang Gai, who was spitting blood, to sway, his blood surged up, and then another mouthful of blood came out.

Just when Huang Gai was still in shock and subconsciously thought that Xu Huang would continue to chase after him, he saw Xu Huang suddenly reined in the horse, forcing the horse under his crotch to stand upright, and turned around at a pace.Immediately, when the war horse stood upright, Xu Huang raised his battle ax high with both hands, condescending, and slashed straight at Han Dang, who was about to fight close to him.

"Han should be careful!"

Suddenly, Huang Gai cried out in shock, hoping that Han Dang could rein in his horse and retreat in time to avoid Xu Huang's powerful direct blow.It's a pity that his reminder was a bit late, because Han Dang had already rushed in front of Xu Huang's war horse, and it was too late to retreat.

"Xi Yu Yu!"

Amid the high-pitched and mournful cry of war horses, Han Dang set up his two maces to resist Xu Huang's head-on tomahawk. Unexpectedly, the right mace was cut off by the axe, and the left mace was bent and deformed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and gave up. With two maces in his hands, he slid off the horse's back with a crooked body.And the moment he fell off the horse, Xu Huang slashed the horse under Zhong Han with a powerful axe, causing the horse's screams and screams to stop abruptly, and the entire horse's head was split in half by Xu Huang's axe.

"Drive!" As soon as Han Dang landed on the ground, his body was dragged up with one hand, and he narrowly avoided being crushed by the horse after the sudden death.After he turned his head to see the person coming, he resisted the severe pain in his blood-drenched hands, grabbed Huang Gai's arm, leaped and sat behind Huang Gai, and then the two of them rode the same horse and fled to the main formation in panic .

Chapter 631 Jin Machao VS Xiaobawang

"Want to go? It's not that easy!"

After the horse landed on all fours, Xu Huang yelled angrily, it was too late to chase after him, Huang Gai and Han Dang had already run more than twenty steps away.

In anger, he saw Xu Huang's battle ax in his right hand switched to his left, and then he moved his right hand to his back, pulled out the feather arrow stuck in his back, and then threw it with his arms.

"Pfft!"

With the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through his body, the feathered arrow sank into Han Dang's back, causing Han Dang to scream out loud, but he firmly grasped Huang Gai's shoulders and did not fall off the horse, and still rushed towards the front of the allied army.

"Finally, I have revenge, and let you, Han Dang, be the thief!" Xu Huang sneered sweating profusely as he stopped to look at the feathered arrow stuck in Han Dang's back.

Indeed, after Xu Huang pulled out the arrow on his back and threw it, it hit Han in the back, and the position of the arrow was exactly the same as the wound on Xu Huang's back.The only difference is that Xu Huang's back arrow was shot from the side and shot into the back at a slant, without hurting the bones, it was just a pain in the flesh; but this time Han Zhong's arrow hit the back, and the injury was far worse than Xu Huang's. Arrow wounds were far more serious.Fortunately, Xu Huang threw it with a wave of his hand, which was far less powerful than the bow and arrow. In addition, Han Dang was wearing a battle armor, so he should not be shot to death by the feather arrow.

"Da da da!"

Huang Gai and Han Dang had just been defeated on the same horse, but seeing the allied army in front of the formation, Sun Ce suddenly rode out, stared at Xu Huang with a frosty face, held the Overlord Spear upside down, and leaned over to charge up.

"Gongming, let's retreat, wait for a certain Ma Chao to come and face Sun Ce!"

Seeing that Sun Ce rode out of the battle, Ma Chao, who had just leaped out of the city, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the snow-shadowed rider under his crotch flew out like an arrow that left the string.When the prancing horse came out of the formation, he shouted loudly, telling Xu Huang to retreat back to the formation, while he himself was holding a gun with one hand.Facing the direction in which Sun Ce rushed, he rushed over head-on.

Xu Huang was slightly startled when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at Mu Ran, but his movements were not slow, he immediately reined in his horse and turned back to the main formation.On the way back to his horse, he looked sideways at Ma Chao, who was handsome and striking, and the two thousand warriors behind Ma Chao.

In fact, so far.Xu Huang is not yet a member of the Xiliang Army, he can only be regarded as a general of the county soldiers outside the army of the county government. He has been stationed in the city all year round, and he is not qualified to meet with the main generals of the army.For more than two years, he has never left Hedong County.There is also no chance to go to Chang'an to meet the lord Li Li, let alone meet Ma Chao.However, Fufeng has the prestige of "Jin Ma Chao".He is like thunder.He has been famous for a long time, and he is familiar with Ma Chao's previous heroic deeds and has heard a lot.

The most exciting part is Li Li, the protagonist of Ma Chao's three battles, Maple Leaf Gorge in the first battle, Heilongling in the second World War, and Dongshan Pass in the third battle.Although Ma Chao's three battles with the lord Li Li ended in failure.But no one in the Xiliang army laughed at Ma Chao. Instead, they looked at him with admiration and had a great reputation.Because in the eyes of Xiliang soldiers, losing to the lord Li Li is not a shameful thing.Rather, it is a matter of course, even though defeat is glorious, it is enough to win the admiration and respect of the entire army.

In recent years, Ma Chao has gained fame in the army, commanding Li Li's most elite cavalry, the Longxiang Battalion.In two years, Ma Chao led the iron cavalry of Longxiang Battalion to pacify Jincheng, fought against the barbaric Qiang, chased Yuezhi, and went to the West Sea. day.

Xu Huang had only heard about these deeds before, but had no chance to meet Ma Chao himself.To tell the truth, Xu Huang envied Ma Chao very much, envied him for being able to meet Li Li, the broad-minded master of the Ming Dynasty, and repeatedly opposed Li Li, but in the end Li Li surrendered and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and handed over the Longxiang Camp to him.Not everyone can meet such a strange encounter. There are many capable generals in the world who are not as lucky as Ma Chao, let alone such an enlightened lord as Li Li.

Xu Huang thinks he is like this.He was born in a humble family, knew no one well in his early years, entrusted him with wrong people, and mistakenly cast him under Yang Feng's account. Not only did he not gain Yang Feng's trust, but he was suspected by Yang Feng because of his high ability, and he was always on guard against him.Fortunately, he met Teng Xiao, the chief general of Anyi, half a year ago. Only then did Xu Huang climb out of the crowd.Although the defenders of Dongyuan City were still low-level county soldiers, and they didn't even have a military establishment in the county government, Xu Huang was still very contented and practiced diligently, trying to train his battalion into an elite army capable of winning battles.

Seeing Ma Chao fight with his own eyes at this moment, Xu Huang couldn't help but think of what Teng Xiao said yesterday while being envious.Yesterday Teng Xiao told him that today Hussar General Li Li will come to Dongyuan City to watch the battle, and then Teng Xiao will officially recommend him to the general.Now that Ma Chao suddenly appeared in front of the formation, does that mean that General Li Li has arrived at this moment, and the long-awaited opportunity has also arrived?

Da da da!

Secretly absent-minded, Xu Huang brushed past Ma Chao who had come out of the battle.The moment the two horses crossed their sides, Ma Chao turned his head and said, "General Gongming is so brave that I admire him. The lord has an order, and Gongming will go back to the city to meet the lord!"

"Ugh!" Xu Huang was startled awake by the sound, and said anxiously: "No, the last general is willing to sweep the formation for the general, and he will meet the general at any time!"
