Although the broken weapon was unexpected, it was just a minor episode after all and did not affect the overall situation.
Liu Chan didn't panic, and with the bonus of horse power, he knocked Xu Huang's halberd away with one move, and then stabbed the broken spear accurately into the throat of one of Xu Huang's soldiers who was exposed and unprotected by armor.
As long as the force is strong enough, who says you can't kill someone without a spear head?
Then he drew out the two swords from his waist and slashed left and right. The swordsmanship and long arms inherited from Lao Liu gave an unforgettable lesson to the Cao soldiers around him who wanted to take advantage of his loss of weapons to capture the enemy general.
Of course, they will never forget it, because their lives stop at this moment.
In order to maintain a certain horse speed, Liu Chan did not choose to turn around and take care of Xu Huang, who had lost his halberd. Instead, he continued to charge forward and deal with these stubborn veterans as quickly as possible.
As for Xu Huang behind him, someone would naturally capture him.
"Watch the gun for the traitor!" Ma Chao shouted loudly when he was still some distance away from the enemy.
Xu Huang was fighting on foot. He lost his weapon at this time and was already unable to win.
If the opponent is like this and then makes a silent sneak attack, it will be too cheap, so I remind you loudly.
Xu Huang heard the shout and looked at Ma Chao, who was riding his horse, with a complicated look on his face.
At first this man had his whole family beheaded, and was defeated by the King of Wei. He first surrendered to Zhang Lu, and then to Liu Bei. He was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog.
During the previous Battle of Hanzhong, although he had not fought against Ma Chao face to face, he had heard about his achievements. At that time, Xu Huang thought that this man would definitely fail to recover.
Unexpectedly, this Ma Chao is now as majestic and majestic as before, but he himself is about to lose his life at the hands of this man.
Things are really unpredictable.
It's a pity that the world will never be unified after all.
Xu Huang sighed secretly and slowly closed his eyes.
Ma Chao warned loudly, but when he saw that the enemy was about to give up resistance, Fang wanted to use his spear and quickly changed his move.
His right hand holding the end of the gun was pulled back, and he made a neat "piercing the gun" on the horse. The gun quickly moved back, his hands were moved closer to the side of the gun tip, and then a beautiful gun flower danced out.
Boom!
Ma Chao, who completed the change of moves in an instant, rounded the barrel of his gun and hit Xu Huang with a sap on his head.
The sound is long-lasting and rich in texture, and it sounds good. It seems to be a good head.
Xu Huang, who was hit with a sap, was about to fall down, but Ma Chao, who was riding past, leaned over and grabbed him with his hand.
"Xu Huang has been captured! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Ma Chao put Xu Huang on the horse's back and shouted loudly.
There were already many Cao troops who surrendered, and the few resisters, including Xu Huang's soldiers, completely lost their will to fight and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The matter of gathering the surrendered soldiers was hurriedly handed over to Wang Ping and Guan Xingbu. Liu Chan led the cavalry and the 500 Red Star troops to immediately enter the trail.
Although the outcome has definitely been decided at this time, and Wang Ping has also sent reinforcements, he urgently wants to know...how many brothers who have been together day and night for several years have left him.
Liu Chan's faith was not an easy one. While accepting the admiration and respect of everyone, his equal relationship also made it impossible for him to treat them as ordinary "battle damage figures."
Every time someone died in battle, it was like a stone was pressed on his heart.
And this heavy feeling is the price Liu Chan needs to pay for the Red Star Army's extraordinary combat power, loyalty and organization.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Chan met Wang Ping's reinforcements who were walking back, and he immediately rode over.
"How's it going?"
"Prince, the Red Star Army and the Horde Army were ambushed by the enemy and almost perished in the sea of fire. But when we arrived, they had successfully fought their way out, and they were also chasing Cao Jun's deserters all the way. They are now at the rear of the team..."
"Drive!" Before the young general finished speaking, Liu Chan, who heard this, had already galloped to the rear.
The Red Star Army, the 500 reserve troops who came from the West City, and the cavalry also followed immediately. They were all colleagues, and they were also worried.
Liu Chan, who rushed to the rear team, saw the miserable scene in front of him.
In the rain, the Red Star Army soldiers, all in rags and with dark hands and faces, were supported by the soldiers who came to support them, and they were struggling to walk on the muddy and slippery road.
Some soldiers who were unconscious or had injuries to their legs and were unable to walk were carried on their backs.
Liu Chan, who had always been proud of being able to call every Red Star warrior by name, could no longer even identify who the black faces were.
This is the most embarrassing time for them since the establishment of the pro-military army.
A soldier being supported was drinking water frantically. When the water bag was empty, he raised his head and opened his mouth to catch the rainwater. Several large blisters appeared on his blackened face.
When he found Liu Chan coming on horseback, the water bag in his hand fell to the ground. He was stunned for a moment and then pushed away the friendly soldier who was supporting him. He staggered towards this side and knelt down in the mud with a pop.
"Master... Li Er has a great responsibility, please punish him!"
Li Er, who was still showing no fear despite being trapped in the fire and led a group of soldiers to fight out, now had a hint of crying in his voice.
Seeing Liu Chan with his own eyes at this time, the strong fear and guilt that had been suppressed in his heart finally came up. He was not afraid of death, but he almost killed half of Liu Chan's troops.
In his excitement, he even subconsciously brought up the original title.
Liu Chan quickly turned over and dismounted, and said with a cold face: "Let me say it one last time, you are not my slave, and you will not be anyone's slave. I don't want to hear this title again."
Then he personally helped Li Er up and took a look. There were blisters on his face and hands, and his hair was uneven, frizzy and dry due to the fire.
But looking miserable, he didn't suffer any fatal injuries after all.
Then he smiled and said: "Winning or losing is a normal thing for a man in the military. Cao Cao was in a much more embarrassing situation than you in Chibi, but now he is also dominating the north? Just come out alive."
Li Er gritted his teeth and tightened his cheek muscles to prevent his expression from being distorted. The rain falling on his face also became an excellent cover.
"……yes."
Liu Chan patted his shoulder, waved to the soldier who was supporting him, and continued to support Li Er.
"How are the casualties?"
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Half of the tribal mountain people were killed in the battle, 16 of our troops were killed, 25 were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured."
Liu Chan was silent for a moment after hearing this. This was the Red Star Army's biggest battle loss since the reserve team members were killed in the fire in Jingzhou.
If the dead fake Xu Huang actor saw him like this, he would be so angry that he would come back to life and jump around and curse.
Cao Jun was clearly on the side of the ambush, and the ambush was successful. As a result, almost the entire army on his side was wiped out. He only replaced the Shu army with less than 500 young men, and only a dozen of the regular troops died. You actually have the nerve to show casualties. A tragic expression? !
Are you the party that fell into an ambush? ! Would you like a little common sense?
Unfortunately, he was already on his way in a hurry and could not comment further.
Liu Chan sighed and asked: "Ding Feng, Chai Rong, Xu... how are they?"
After naming all the promising generals in one breath, Li Er said: "Everyone else is fine, Ding Feng is fine, Chai Rong... alas, he is right here."
He had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say at the moment, so with help, he led Liu Chan to a man who was carrying Cao Jun's flag back.
This person is Chai Rong.
His armor had been stripped off to dissipate heat. Even though his naked body was washed by the cold rain, he was still slightly red, with large and small blisters scattered on it, and a broken arrowhead was stuck in his left leg.
But that's not the most serious thing. There are no blisters on his hands, but they are covered with blackened scabs.
The hair on his dark head was patchy, his lips were dry, and there were scabs on his cheeks.
Fortunately, my chest was still heaving.
Fortunately, Li Er pulled him out in time, otherwise he would have been burned to ashes by now.
But even so, his burns were serious. Liu Chan had heard that burning the skin into hard scabs without blisters was more serious than the blisters.
"Chai Rong blamed himself for being the first to give the signal to attack, which put everyone in a desperate situation, so he ignored the general's orders and rushed alone to the antlers of Cao Jun blocking the camp gate. By that time, the antlers had already been burned..."
Liu Chan listened silently with a straight face, the scene of throwing himself into the fire seemed to be right in front of his eyes, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
If he had told Chai Rong before he met him that one day he would be willing to throw himself into the fire for the sake of loyalty, at that time he was just a bandit leader, burning, killing and looting, he would have laughed out loud...
