There is a fierce general under Cao Cao, who is eight feet long, with a waist circumference of ten meters, and is extremely brave, it is Xu Chu. However, after an alcoholism, Xu Chu was beaten by Zhang Fei and almost died on the battlefield. This makes people wonder: If Xu Chu hadn't been drunk, how long would he have been able to hold out under Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear? What is the disparity in strength between the two of them? Let's find out.
1. The battle between Xu Chu and Lu Bu
It is said that in the battle of Puyang that year, Cao Cao's army pressed the border, and Lu Buli fought for several months, and the troops gradually became tired. Cao Cao saw that the time had come, and decided to personally go out and challenge Lu Bu to fight alone.
The master in front of the formation was like a cloud, Cao Cao looked around, and finally fell on Xu Chu. Xu Chu is a fierce general under Cao Cao, eight feet long, infinitely powerful, and has always been brave. Cao Cao had high hopes for him, hoping that he would be able to make great achievements in this battle of life and death.
Xu Chu responded to the voice, strutted forward, and walked onto the battlefield. On the other side, Lu Bu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xu Chu menacing, he couldn't help but show a grim face. The two were far away from each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Suddenly, a loud shout came out of Lu Bu's mouth, and then Fang Tian's painting halberd was already surging towards Xu Chu! Xu Chu was startled in his heart, and hurriedly raised the spear in his hand to greet him. The two sides immediately fought a big battle, guns and halberds were exchanged and dust was flying.
At the beginning, Xu Chu had the upper hand and made a sharp move, and Lu Bu was defeated several times. But Lu Bu has been on the battlefield for a long time and has had countless military parades, where did he suffer such a loss? He gradually mastered Xu Chu's moves, and not only defused Xu Chu's attacks one by one, but began to take the initiative to attack!
The two of you have been going back and forth, and they have been fighting for more than 20 rounds. Seeing this, Cao Cao was very anxious in his heart, fearing that Xu Chu's strength would not be caught, but he gave his life instead. At that moment, he urgently ordered Dian Wei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin and other five fierce generals to kill at the same time and surround Lu Bu in the middle.
Although Lu Bu is strong in martial arts, he is alone in the end, and in the face of the siege of the six fierce generals, it is inevitable that he will be defeated and retreat. He fought hard, and finally broke out of the encirclement and walked away.
In this battle, although Xu Chu failed to retreat, he could be regarded as the first contribution. It's just that judging from the fight between him and Lu Bu, the strength of the two is too different. Xu Chu only lasted for twenty rounds, and he was already defeated, if Cao Cao hadn't rescued him in time, I was afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
In contrast, Zhang Fei fought 50 rounds alone against Lu Bu in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and the two were inseparable. Later, outside Xiaopei City, Zhang Fei fought with Lu Bu for a hundred rounds, until Liu Bei stepped forward to stop the two, and then he gave up.
It can be seen that the martial arts of Zhang Fei and Lu Bu are indeed almost the same, while there is a gap between Xu Chu and Lu Bu. With such a huge disparity, even if Xu Chu is not drunk, under Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for too long.
2. Xu Chu's fight with Guan Yu
It is said that in the battle of Xiapi that year, Cao Cao's army pressed the border, and Guan Yu resisted bravely. Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu was difficult to deal with, so he ordered Xiahou to take Guan Yu by surprise and lead Guan Yu out of the city.
Guan Yu believed that he was strong in martial arts, and he was completely ignorant of Cao Cao's tricks, so he really fell for Xiahoudun's plan and followed him all the way out of Xiapi City. Unexpectedly, Cao Ying had already laid a net of heaven and earth, with Xu Huang on the left and Xu Chu on the right, and the two wings were attacked, surrounding Guan Yu in the middle.
A cannon rang out, and Xu Huang and Xu Chu killed at the same time, blocking Guan Yu's way back to the city. Guan Yu was furious when he saw this, and immediately brandished the Green Dragon Glaive Knife to fight his way out of the encirclement.
Xu Huang and Xu Chu joined forces, thinking that they could hold Guan Yu in the palm of their hands, but they didn't know that Guan Yu's knife skills were extremely powerful, and they actually resolved the offensive of the two of them one by one.
I saw Guan Yu's body being vigorous, the sword light flickering, sometimes moving and jumping, sometimes attacking like a storm, it was simply varied, dizzying. Although Xu Huang and Xu Chu tried their best, they still couldn't stop Guan Yu's sharp attack and retreated.
At this moment, Xiahoudun suddenly came out and blocked in front of Guan Yu. Although Guan Yu repelled Xu Huang and Xu Chu, he was still unable to break through Xiahoudun's encirclement, so he had to give up.
In this battle, although Guan Yu failed to break through, his martial arts were strong and had indeed been fully demonstrated. Xu Huang and Xu Chu joined forces, but they were still defeated by Guan Yu's strength, which shows that Guan Yu's martial arts are superb.
And Xu Chu in this battle, it revealed the huge gap in strength between him and Guan Yu. He and Xu Huang originally wanted to join forces to take down Guan Yu, but they didn't expect to be repelled by Guan Yu alone, which was simply embarrassing.
3. New insights into the martial arts of the two
In the previous battle, we have seen Xu Chu fighting with Lu Bu and Guan Yu, although they showed their full strength, they were difficult to defeat these two strong generals in martial arts. However, after careful scrutiny, there is another past incident that can better illustrate the disparity in martial arts between Xu Chu and Zhang Fei.
It is said that in the battle of Guandu that year, Cao Cao's army was caught off guard by Lu Bu's surprise attack. Xu Chu was overly drunk, and he was drunk at this critical juncture and lost his mind.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei was furious, and immediately pulled out the Zhangba snake spear and killed Xu Chu. Although Xu Chu has peerless martial arts, he can't parry Zhang Fei's onslaught when he is drunk.
I saw Zhang Fei as strong as a leopard, dancing with a snake spear, like a spiritual snake coming out of a hole, which was daunting. Xu Chu staggered, but he couldn't fight back, and was soon stabbed in the shoulder by Zhang Fei's snake spear, and fell to the ground, blood flowing.
If Cao Cao hadn't arrived in time to save Xu Chu, I was afraid that he would have died in Huangquan. In this battle, Xu Chu completely lost face, and he could no longer raise his eyebrows in Cao Ying.
Some people may say that the reason why Xu Chu lost was only because he was drunk, and if he was sober, he might be able to compete with Zhang Fei.
However, we can't help but notice that in this battle of Guandu, although Zhang Fei was also drunk, when he fought against Lu Bu, he was still able to fight for fifty rounds, and his strength was still amazing.
It can be seen that even in a drunken state, Zhang Fei's martial arts are far above Xu Chu. If both of them stay sober, how can Xu Chu be Zhang Fei's opponent?
4. The decisive battle between Xu Chu and Zhang Fei
In the previous battle, we have seen Xu Chu's embarrassed appearance when he fought with Lu Bu and Guan Yu, and even saw that he was drunk and lost to Zhang Fei's heavy blow. It can be seen that there is really a huge gap between Xu Chu and Zhang Fei.
However, this is only one side, and if we want to fully compare the martial arts of the two, we need to witness their decisive battle in front of the battle. Only then can we really see how long Xu Chu can hold out under Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear.
Let's say that in the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao Cao's army was defeated by the combined forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and had to retreat north. Xu Chu rested with the army in Changsaka, Zhang Fei pursued with victory, and the two met here.
At that time, it was already dark, and Zhang Fei was holding a snake spear, which looked particularly powerful in the dark night. Although Xu Chu was tall, he also felt palpitations in the face of Zhang Fei's fierce offensive.
I saw Zhang Fei dancing the snake spear, like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, which was daunting. Sometimes he jumps, sometimes he attacks like a storm, and the changes are dizzying.
Although Xu Chu tried his best, he could not resist Zhang Fei's fierce offensive after all. His spear was under Zhang Fei's snake spear, and he was defeated and retreated, unable to fight back at all.
At this moment, Cao Cao saw this, and urgently ordered Dian Wei, Xiahoudun and others to kill at the same time and surround Zhang Fei in the middle. Although Zhang Fei is strong in martial arts, he is alone in the end, and in the face of the siege of several fierce generals, it is inevitable that he will be defeated and retreated.
He fought hard, and finally broke out of the encirclement and walked away. In this battle, although Xu Chu failed to retreat, he could be regarded as the first contribution.
It's just that judging from the fight between him and Zhang Fei, the strength of the two is too different. Under Zhang Fei's snake spear, Xu Chu couldn't fight back at all, so he could only retreat one after another. If Cao Cao hadn't come to the rescue in time, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.
It can be seen that even in a sober state, it is difficult for Xu Chu to support Zhang Fei for too long. His eight-foot body and waist circumference of ten girths were in vain in front of Zhang Fei's snake spear.
Therefore, if Xu Chu hadn't been drunk, under Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, he would have been able to hold out for about fifty rounds at most, and he would have been defeated and unable to retreat with his whole body.
5. Conclusion
Throughout the foregoing, we have seen the disparity in martial arts between Xu Chu and Zhang Fei from the situation of Xu Chu and Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Although Xu Chu was tall, with a waist circumference of ten girths, and infinite strength, under Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, he only lasted twenty rounds before retreating. In contrast, Zhang Fei fought against Lu Bu twice outside the Tiger Prison Pass and Xiaopei City, fighting fifty rounds and one hundred rounds respectively, and his strength was far above Xu Chu.
Looking at the fight between Xu Chu and Guan Yu, Xu Chu and Xu Huang joined forces, but they were still defeated by Guan Yu's strength and were repelled by Guan Yu. And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are sworn brothers, and their martial arts are comparable, which shows that Xu Chu is difficult to match at all.
The most ironclad evidence is that Xu Chu drank too much in the battle of Guandu, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Zhang Fei with a spear, almost dying. Although Xu Chu was drunk at the time, Zhang Fei was also drunk, but he was still able to fight with Lu Bu for fifty rounds, which shows the disparity in martial arts between the two.
If Xu Chu hadn't been drunk, under Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, he would have been able to hold out for about fifty rounds at most. Because in the Battle of Chibi, Xu Chu was in a sober state, and in the face of Zhang Fei's onslaught, he couldn't fight back at all, so he could only retreat one after another.
If Cao Cao hadn't come to the rescue in time, I am afraid that Xu Chu would have died a long time ago. It can be seen that even in the best state, Xu Chu is difficult to support under Zhang Fei for too long.
end
His eight-foot body and waist circumference of ten girths were in vain in front of Zhang Fei's snake spear. Therefore, if Xu Chu hadn't been drunk, under Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, he would have been able to hold out for a maximum of fifty rounds, and he would have been defeated and unable to retreat with his whole body.
