A golden-armored warrior stepped forward with a golden trident in his hand. Who else could it be but Liu Mang's father-in-law, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian? Behind Lü Bu was a sturdy heavy cavalry. These heavy cavalry soldiers all had one thing in common, and that was their murderous intent. When they saw Zhang Xiu and his Xiliang Cavalry, they couldn't wait to kill them. Nearly half of their brothers had died in this person's hands. Their hatred for Zhang Xiu was evident.
Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that karma would come and go. Half a month ago, he and Liu Bei had ambushed the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry together, causing half of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to die. Lü Bu had humiliated them by breaking out of the encirclement. However, he didn't expect that half a month later, the entire situation would be reversed. This time, he, Zhang Xiu, was ambushed. Out of the original 10,000 Xiliang Cavalry, only 3,000 of them were left, and they were still blocked by Lü Bu.
"What do you want?!" Zhang Xiu stared at Lü Bu, wanting to get an answer from Lü Bu's eyes. He knew that he might not be able to leave today.
Lu Bu was very indifferent. He looked at Zhang Xiu as if he was looking at a dead man. This kind of gaze made Zhang Xiu, a person who cared about his face, feel ashamed and angry. However, he could not do anything to Lu Bu. "Dismount and surrender, and I will spare your life!" Lu Bu's Poseidon halberd pointed at Zhang Xiu and issued a pitiful command.
"Dismount and surrender?!" Zhang Xiu stared at Lü Bu. His hand gripped his spear tightly, allowing him to suppress his anger. He glared at Lü Bu, his eyes almost spitting fire. "Lü Fengxian, are you pitying me, Zhang Xiu?!"
"Do you have any other way out?!" Lü Bu looked coldly at Zhang Xiu.
"Haha, haha!" Zhang Xiu suddenly laughed. "Lü Fengxian, you underestimate me, Zhang Xiu! I, Zhang Xiu, can subdue anyone except you, Lü Bu! " Zhang Xiu was afraid of death. Who didn't want to live? However, Zhang Xiu cared more about his reputation. He was humiliated by Lü Bu again and again. Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it. He could surrender to anyone but Lü Bu's mercy.
"Lü Fengxian, I have another choice for you. Do you want it?!" Zhang Xiu grinned and squinted at Lü Bu.
"Speak!"
"This choice is that I, Zhang Xiu, charge out and escape! Men of the Xiliang Cavalry, follow me to battle! "Zhang Xiu raised his spear high and his warhorse suddenly sped up.
"Haha, you have some backbone. I really underestimated you!" Lü Bu looked at Zhang Xiu and smiled with admiration. If Zhang Xiu really surrendered, Lü Bu would keep his promise not to kill Zhang Xiu. However, he would also cripple Zhang Xiu's martial arts. It could be said that Zhang Xiu's life would be worse than death. However, Zhang Xiu chose to fight to the death. He was the only one who could die with dignity.
Although he admired Zhang Xiu, he had to avenge the death of half of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and those who died for their brothers. "Zhang Xiu, I will give you a chance. Three thousand men against three thousand men. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, leave your head here!" Lü Bu knew that Zhang Xiu had always been unconvinced. He had been like this since the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry were both under Dong Zhuo's command. At that time, Zhang Xiu was young and had just returned from his master Tong Yuan. He was in high spirits. However, as the No.1 General in the world, he naturally had his own pride. If his uncle, Lü Bu, had not stopped him, Zhang Xiu would have been killed by Lü Bu's spear. If Zhang Xiu was not convinced, then Lü Bu would beat him until he was convinced!
"Lü Bu, you think too highly of yourself!" Zhang Xiu was not afraid at all. "You are wrong about one thing. If I lose, I, Zhang Xiu, will die here. If I win, this place will be where you, Lü Bu, and Lü Fengxian, will be buried!" Zhang Xiu had his own arrogance. With a point of the spear in his hand, he drew out a spear flower and charged toward Lu Bu. "Xiliang Cavalry, fight against the wind! Kill! "3000 Xiliang Cavalry charged towards Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Ah, wolf pups, do you still remember half a month ago? Half a month ago in Hefei, we lost half of our brothers. Those brothers fought to the death in order to cover our retreat. General Zhang Fan will forever sleep on the earth! Today, our enemy is in front of us, our enemy is in front of us! Tell me, what do you want to do! " Lü Bu used his unique charisma to influence his wolf pack. He was the Wolf King, the Wolf God. His existence was the King of the Desert, the King of the Prairie, and even the King of Cavalry.
"Tear them apart, kill them!" Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry shouted.
"Yes, tear them apart, kill them, and avenge General Zhang Fan. Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it's time to hunt!" Lü Bu raised his arm and shouted. His wolf pack began to howl. "Hungry, hungry! Kill! "
The two torrents clashed without any skill or wisdom. They only had one thought, and that was to use their weapons to tear apart the enemy's armor. With their sharp fangs and claws, they could drink the blood and flesh of the enemy. What the Xiliang Cavalry needed was to escape. Under the pressure of death, they burst out with astonishing potential. On the other hand, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was seeking revenge. The reason why wolves were terrifying was not only because of their unity, but also because of their vengeful nature. The anger of revenge had already been ignited in the hearts of these wolf pups.
"Lü Fengxian!" Zhang Xiu's first target was Lü Bu.
"Zhang Boji!" Lü Bu also took the lead and charged towards Zhang Xiu.
"Die, Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix!"
"The one who should die is you, Overlord Strikes the Cauldron!"
… …
Outside Shouchun.
"Left General, I beg you, please save our general, save our general!" The man from the Xiliang Cavalry knelt on the ground. He did not care about the wounds on his body as he kowtowed to Liu Bei. The parched earth sucked the man's blood from his forehead.
"Save him?" Liu Bei's expression was uncertain. Zhang Xiu had brought 10,000 heavy cavalry. This was an elite force. Their overall strength was stronger than Liu Bei's. However, Zhang Xiu was still surrounded and could die at any time. Liu Bei could not decide whether to save him or not. "Shiyuan, what do you think?" Liu Bei could not help but look at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong was also thinking about what had happened in Jiangdong. Why did Lü Bu's army appear in Yangzhou? After thinking about it, he could only take one step at a time. "Zhang Xiu must be saved, but not now!" Pang Tong concluded that Liu Bei's army did not want to send troops.
"You can't, you can't! Our general can't hold on for much longer. He can't hold on for much longer! " The Xiliang Cavalry man was stunned. When he rushed out of the encirclement, Lü Bu's army had already begun to surround the Xiliang Cavalry. If they delayed any longer, they would see Zhang Xiu's corpse.
"Men, take this warrior away to rest!" Liu Bei frowned. With this person around, everything would be difficult to discuss.
"General, Left General, no, no!" Two Liu Bei's soldiers quickly dragged the Xiliang Cavalry man away.
"Milord, the current plan is not to save Zhang Xiu, but to take Shouchun!" Pang Tong explained to Liu Bei. "The enemy is attacking and Zhang Xiu is trapped. We don't know how many enemies there are and how their forces are distributed. If we rush forward, we will only be defeated! The most important thing right now is to take Shouchun and use it as a foundation. If we advance, we can save Zhang Xiu. If we retreat, we can rely on Shouchun's strength to stand in an invincible position! " Pang Tong said so much. They could choose not to save Zhang Xiu, but they had to take Shouchun. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All the elites in Shouchun had left. Fierce General Zhao Yun and his White Horse Consort Yi had already left Shouchun. There was no sign of Xu Shu in the city. On the city walls, there were only scattered and demoralized militia. If they took Shouchun and used it as a shield, even if Lü Bu's army came out, Liu Bei would still have the strength to fight back!
"Alright, we will do as you say! Men, pass down my orders. Everyone, attack the city! " Liu Bei had just finished his words and his subordinates had not yet moved. Suddenly, shouts of killing reverberated throughout Shouchun, startling everyone. "Who is it? What's going on? Did Yide attack the city first? "Liu Bei thought that Zhang Fei could not hold back his anger and attacked the city without a military order. When he finally reacted, he realized that this was not the case. Zhang Fei had just taken down his spear from Shouchun's gate. How could he attack the city?
"Milord, Milord!" Pang Tong's words were filled with bitterness. "This time, we have no choice but to save Zhang Xiu!" This battle cry came from Shouchun city. Soon, the city walls of Shouchun were filled with people. Countless banners were placed on top of the city walls. The ones in front were Commander Qi Liu and General Qi Gan. Liu was naturally Liu Mang. Gan should be Liu Mang's navy commander, Gan Ning, who was hiding in Lujiang County. There were thousands of people coming and going. In terms of bravery, Gan Ning was not inferior to Zhao Yun. Liu Mang's banners were there. This meant that Liu Mang's City Guard Black Flag Army was still far away.
"How can this be? How can this be?" Liu Bei once again asked in disbelief. Wasn't Liu Mang in Guangzhou two days ago? Guangzhou was several days away from here. How could he appear in Shouchun in an instant? Furthermore, even if he was fast, he should have met in the wilderness and not in Shouchun's inner city.
Waterway! Pang Tong had actually forgotten that there was a waterway to enter Shouchun! Pang Tong could not be blamed. Who asked Liu Bei's navy to be so disappointing? They were all wiped out in one battle. Liu Mang's army could naturally reach Shouchun from Guangzhou in two days and then enter the inner city from the Shouchun Water Camp.
"Milord, let's go!" Shouchun could no longer be taken down. Pang Tong's bluff had been seen through. If we continue to stay here, we will only be wasting our food.
"Sigh!" Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed. His fingernails dug into his palms and blood flowed out. However, Liu Bei did not care at all. He said with difficulty, "Retreat!"
Sure enough, a voice came from the city walls. "Lord Xuande, have a safe journey!" “
