Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

"Cao thief, where are you going——"

A thunderous roar was heard, and a streak of light broke through the chaotic army and rushed to the shore on a bloody path.

It’s Ma Chao!
When he accelerated all the way to the shore, he leaped on his horse and passed over the heads of the Qin soldiers, landing on the flagship like a god descending from heaven.

Everyone was stunned.

Be it Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, or even Dian Wei, the most powerful general of Qin State, were all stunned.

They never dreamed that Ma Chao would be so arrogant and brave that he would dare to jump onto the deck alone to kill Cao Cao.

For a moment, they froze in place, looking up in shock as Ma Chao leaped over.

"Cao thief, accept your death——"

With a tiger roar, Ma Chao took advantage of the momentum of his horse falling to the ground and rushed straight towards Cao Cao.

He wielded the silver spear with all his strength and stabbed it towards Cao Cao's face.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei was the first to react. He rode his horse to intercept and screamed in shock.

Cao Cao suddenly woke up and stepped back in panic.

The left and right imperial guards hurriedly raised their large shields and stood in front of Cao Cao, blocking Ma Chao's spear attack.

"Crack!"

The silver spear was like the indestructible blade of death, piercing through the shield in front of it, and the remaining force went straight to Cao Cao's face.

Cao Cao was so frightened that his face turned pale. As he dodged backwards, he almost instinctively raised his hand to block the incoming spear.

"Chila~~"

There was a crisp tearing sound.

Two of Cao Cao's fingers were cut off and blood spurted all over his face.

"what--"

A heart-wrenching scream was heard, and Cao Cao fell down on the deck.

At the critical moment, he finally blocked Ma Chao's fatal blow at the cost of two fingers.

Seeing that his first strike failed to kill Cao Cao, Ma Chao retracted his silver spear, and with all his strength, he was ready to stab again.

"How dare you, horse thief, hurt my emperor!"

Dian Wei shouted angrily and rode over. His double halberds stabbed at Ma Chao from behind like lightning.

Ma Chao could no longer stab with his spear.

If he wanted to kill Cao Cao by force, he might not be able to do so because the Imperial Guards were blocking him in front of him. Moreover, Dian Wei's double halberds were already behind him, so he would definitely die.

At the critical moment, Ma Chao had to turn his silver spear around and block with his backhand.

"Bang bang!"

With two metallic sounds, Dian Wei's double halberds were blocked.

Dian Wei was greatly shocked when he saw Cao Cao's fingers were cut off and he became furious like a beast. His double halberds formed halberd shadows that filled the sky and he rushed towards Ma Chao like a madman.

Ma Chao had no time to kill Cao Cao. The silver spear in his hand shot out like lightning, and overlapping spear shadows swept up.

The two men once again started a fierce fight on this deck.

One was a fierce general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and the other was Qin's evil master. The battle was so thrilling that everyone around was shocked.

The winds from spears and halberds swept out from all directions, forcing everyone to retreat again and again. There were even a few unlucky Qin soldiers who were injured by the wind from the blades and fell off their horses with screams.

The Qin generals on both sides wanted to step forward to help, but they found that their martial arts were too poor and there was no room for them to intervene.

Cao Cao fell to the ground, holding his severed finger that was bleeding, and howling in pain.

More than a hundred Qin soldiers held on to the edge of the boat tightly, preventing the boat from leaving the shore.

The Han army on the shore had already attacked from all directions, killing the Qin soldiers who could not board the ship and howling like ghosts and wolves, with blood flowing like a river. Xiahou Dun and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If they could not sail anymore, it would not take long for a large number of Han troops to attack the ship, and then they would all be finished.

Including Cao Cao, everyone would be wiped out by the Han army.

"Kingsmen, listen up! Cut off the hands of those soldiers and don't let them hold on to the boat any longer!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Song was the first to react and shouted loudly.

The Royal Guards were all shocked and looked at each other, but no one dared to take action.

Xiahou Dun also reacted and shouted:
"Quickly cut off the hands of those soldiers, otherwise the ship won't be able to sail and all of us will die!"

As he spoke, Xiahou Dun drew his sword and slashed at a Qin soldier.

With a pig-slaughtering howl, the soldier's hands were cut off and he fell into the water.

With Xiahou Dun taking the lead, the imperial guards gritted their teeth and swung their swords to attack their comrades.

"Kakaka!"

Tearing sounds and howling sounds were heard. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred hands were cut off, and the Qin soldiers hanging around the boat fell down one after another.

The flagship, freed from the burden, was finally able to move and began to slowly sail away from the shore.

Ma Chao, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, frowned when he saw the warship sailing away.

Dian Wei and he were equally skilled in martial arts, and he could not kill him for a while. If he could not kill Dian Wei, he would not be able to free himself to kill Cao Cao.

Besides, Cao Cao was now blocked by the Qin generals. Even if he could kill Xiahou Dun, he might not be able to kill Cao Cao.

But the warship was already sailing into the Wei River. By then, it would be too far from the shore and he would be alone and surrounded. Not only would he fail to kill Cao Cao, but he would also lose his life.

"Cao thief, you are lucky today, but I will chop off your head someday!"

Ma Chao was not interested in fighting either. He attacked with his silver spear, forcing Dian Wei to get close. Then he turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group and jumped off the deck.

"Ma Chao, the traitor, don't run away. I will kill you~~"

Dian Wei, who was blood-thirsty, would not allow Ma Chao to get away after injuring Cao Cao. He roared and shouted angrily, and wanted to jump off the boat on his horse to fight Ma Chao to the death.

Cao Cao, who was in pain, was shocked when he saw Dian Wei was about to catch up with him, and fear replaced the pain.

If Dian Wei jumped off the boat, he would be trapped in the vast Han army and would surely die in the battle.

He has lost enough today, how could he lose another beloved general like Dian Wei?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao forgot the pain of the broken finger, struggled to jump up, and shouted:

"Dian Wei, don't chase after a desperate enemy. Stop right there!"

This shout stopped Dian Wei at the last moment, and he was only half a step away from jumping off the boat.

Dian Wei reined in his horse beside the boat and turned back to look at Cao Cao angrily and unwillingly:

"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, yet you were injured by this villain. If I don't kill this villain, I will never be able to calm my anger!"

Cao Cao staggered forward, grabbed Dian Wei, shook his head and sighed bitterly:
"I must kill Ma Chao, but not today!"

"Today I have lost Chang'an, tens of thousands of troops, and two fingers. I cannot lose you, my beloved general!"

"Dian Wei, do you understand?"

Dian Wei was speechless, his anger was suppressed by Cao Cao, and he froze on his horse, not knowing what to do.

After Cao Cao's last breath, the severe pain from his severed finger came back. His spirit was severely traumatized, and a headache followed. Suddenly, the pain was so severe that it felt like his head was going to explode.

"what--"

Cao Cao screamed in pain, his eyes went black, and he fell face down on the deck.

"His Majesty!"

Dian Wei was horrified and hurriedly dismounted from his horse and rushed towards Cao Cao.

On the deck, there was another chaos. (End of this chapter)
