The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 445
But this time Li Yuan spoke for Ma Tie instead, he said: "It's okay, since little brother Ma praised me so much, then I have no choice but to take over this battle." Li Yuan walked out after speaking.

"But...Wen Zhong, you are exhausted from traveling so far, you should have a good rest, you don't need to worry about these little ignorant people." Ma Teng persuaded, and he knew that Ma Tie was capable, so he really wanted to beat Li Yuan and the others He can be dealt with in one round, not to mention that Li Yuan and Ma Teng are equals, Ma Tie is still a generation younger than Li Yuan, and now he is disrespectful to challenge Li Yuan, which is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

"Hahahaha, since Brother Ma has this wish, let the last general take over this battle for the lord!" Xu Zhu, who had been silent for a long time, turned over and jumped out, standing in front of Li Yuan. His movements were very quick, and Ma Chao could tell at a glance that this tall and thick guy was not easy to deal with.

"Who are you, you dare to challenge me?" Ma Tie thought that Xu Zhu was just Li Yuan's guard, so he didn't take him seriously at all.

"I am Xu Zhu, General of the Guard." Xu Zhu reported his name.

"What, you're that tiger idiot Xu Zhu?" Ma Tie said in surprise. He had heard of Xu Zhu's name even in Xiliang. His father Ma Teng often mentioned that there was a tiger general named Li Yuan when he was a child. Xu Zhu is very skilled. During the battle at Hulao Pass, Xu Zhu once captured Lu Bu's general Gao Shun alive.

"I'm here, I wonder if I'm qualified to challenge you?" Xu Zhu was imposing. He took a step forward, but Ma Tie couldn't help but backed up a few steps. Even he didn't know why he felt a little timid in his heart. a feeling of.

Ma Chao, who was sitting next to Ma Teng, heard Xu Zhuzhi's eyes ignited. Both Li Yuan and Xu Zhu were the opponents he wanted to defeat. It was rare to meet two masters today, and his heart was already aroused. fighting spirit.

Ma Tie took several steps back under Xu Zhu's imposing manner. He realized how embarrassing his actions just now were, and disgraced Ma's family. Such a thing had never happened before, and he said angrily, "Okay, Xu Zhu, just go Let me experience your martial arts."

"Wen Zhong, what do you mean?" Ma Teng asked Li Yuan for his opinion.

"Since everyone has this elegance, let them compete." Li Yuan nodded in agreement, knowing that this battle is inevitable, Xiliang people are brave people, and it is difficult to conquer them without showing a few hands.

When the rest of the people heard that Ma Tie was going to compete with Xu Zhu, they all showed excited expressions, and they withdrew from the banquet, giving up their seats to Xu Zhu and Ma Tie.Ma Chao walked behind Ma Tie and said softly, "Third brother, Xu Zhu is not a simple person, you must use all your strength to deal with him and not underestimate the enemy."

"Understood, brother." Ma Tie nodded. Since Ma Chao had ordered him to do so, he put away his contempt and planned to try his best to win as soon as he came up.

Xu Zhu and Ma Tie stood in the middle of the hall. Ma Tie was holding a broadsword, and Xu Zhu was using a pair of short halberds. The Ma brothers were all masters at using spears, but it was horse fighting, and they preferred to use short weapons when fighting on foot.

Everyone held their breath and stared carefully at the two people in the arena. Ma Tie suddenly yelled and took the lead, intending to strike first. He leaped forward and slashed at Xu Zhu with a big knife in his hand. His movements were vigorous and agile. , Just an ordinary hack can tell that he has extraordinary skills.

Seeing Ma Tie's swift attack, everyone nodded their heads one after another. They secretly praised the Ma family as worthy of being a general. Even the youngest Ma Tie has such skill.

They have heard of Xu Zhu's name for a long time, but they don't know exactly how powerful it is. They estimate that Xu Zhu's martial arts should be higher than horse iron, but not much, so many people think that this should be a long-lasting battle between dragons and tigers. war.

Xu Zhu remained motionless in the face of Ma Tie's fierce attack. He stood upright like a tall and tough pine tree. Just when Ma Tie's knife was about to hit his face, his eyes suddenly widened. The short halberd in his right hand raised his strength to block upwards, and slammed into Ma Tie's broadsword fiercely.

Ma Tie only felt a huge force from the blade to his hand, which made his jaw numb, and he couldn't even hold the knife steadily. His big knife flew into the sky like a kite with broken strings, and finally fell to the ground with a "bang".

Ma Tie looked at his right hand, which was no longer able to use his strength, and then looked at Xu Zhu standing in front of him. Although Xu Zhu didn't make any more moves, he knew that he had already lost, and he had lost so thoroughly that he didn't even have the chance to fight back. No, it was the first time he felt so frustrated, because he had never tried to lose so quickly before, even when he was fighting with Ma Chao.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, because the contest ended too quickly, and it ended before they figured out what was going on. They thought it would be a protracted battle that was evenly matched, but in the end it ended with Ma Tie's complete defeat.

The whole hall became extremely quiet, only the sound of Ma Tie's heavy breathing could be heard. I don't know if it was because of the heavy blow, but he stood there in a daze without any reaction. Others thought he was scared by Xu Zhu Silly.

Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He knew that Ma Tie was definitely not Xu Zhu's opponent, but he didn't expect Xu Zhu to be so ruthless. He didn't even give Ma Tie a chance. After all, this is the territory of the Ma family. Even if he wins, he can't win too hard. , No matter what, Ma Teng has to give Ma Teng some face.

In fact, Xu Zhu didn't do it on purpose, he had already shown mercy. He only used [-]% of his strength for the blow just now. Li Yuan had already told him to save face for the opponent during the competition, so he reserved [-]% of his strength. They thought that the Ma family were all descendants and guarded Xiliang for many years, so their martial arts should not be bad, but they didn't expect Ma Tie to be so weak that even [-]% of his strength could not resist.

"Ahem, I know this is not Ma Tie's strength. I must have slipped my hand just now, so I couldn't hold the weapon steadily. This contest is not counted." Li Yuan broke the silence first, but his words were unconvincing. Few people have been on the battlefield, so they can tell at a glance that this is definitely not Ma Tie's slippery hand, but that Xu Zhu is too powerful, so Ma Tie was defeated by one move. Li Yuan's rescue of Ma Tie made the Ma family even more embarrassed.

"Third brother, don't be ashamed, come down!" Ma Chao shouted at Ma Tie, but Ma Tie still didn't respond, as if he was stupid, Ma Chao had no choice but to go up and pull Ma Tie down.

Li Yuan said beside Ma Teng: "General Ma, I'm really sorry, Xu Zhu didn't know the severity of his attack, it's because I didn't discipline properly."
