After issuing his orders, Marshal Chen`s command banner immediately waved. The beat of the drums changed to a rapid frenzy, and the cavalry, which had been concealed on both flanks, charged straight out.
"Order Xuu Chu to ride and inform Guan Yu to return, readying the second wave of cavalry from the left, center, and right to steamroll Yuan Shao's Army," Chen Xi commanded the messenger. If his estimates were correct, the previous three attacks must have nearly exhausted Xuu Chu, who must be tired by now. Continuing to order him to charge might carelessly lead to him being surrounded and trapped within the enemy's ranks.
When the messenger found Xuu Chu on the battlefield, Xuu Chu was vigorously swinging his great sword, cutting down enemies with abandon. Though Xuu Chu had indeed drained his inner Qi, a man like him recovered quickly. Even without his inner Qi, he was still a brave warrior, wielding his great sword and leading his guards, creating a whirlwind of slaughter.
