Liu Mang knew that Zhang Fei's reputation was not just for show. Liu Mang only felt that the sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties. Liu Mang simply could not bear it. Moreover, Liu Mang was using a saber and not a shield. Therefore, he was at a disadvantage.
"Haha, Liu Mang, if you die in my hands today, do you think Slave of Three Surnames will cry?" Zhang Fei laughed sinisterly as he exerted more force on his spear.
"You want to kill me to avenge Chen Dao?" Liu Mang knew that he was no match for Zhang Fei, but he would not be killed so easily. He used his sword to push away Zhang Fei's serpent spear. Zhang Fei wanted to enrage him, but Liu Mang also wanted to enrage Zhang Fei. Although Liu Mang was no match for Zhang Fei when he was enraged, Liu Mang could still escape when Zhang Fei lost his mind.
"Uncle!" When Liu Mang mentioned Chen Dao, Zhang Fei's expression changed. His originally dark face became even darker.
Liu Mang saw a chance. "That Chen Dao of Runan? What a pity! Silver armor and white running, what a handsome man. But in the end, he died under a flurry of blades. Even his body was chopped into minced meat. What a tragedy! "
"Liu Mang, I want your life!" Zhang Fei's eyes turned red as he rushed towards Liu Mang.
"You want my life? You're still a bit off!" Liu Mang immediately ran toward the corner of the warship. Due to the water entering the warship, the warship was tilted to the side. If they were on flat ground, Liu Mang would not be Zhang Fei's opponent. Now that the warship was tilted to the side, Zhang Fei was furious and did not pay attention to it.
"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, do you know? In fact, you always call my father-in-law a slave of three surnames. But are you a good person? "Liu Mang continued to mock Zhang Fei.
"A slave of three surnames is still a man with a gun! But this Zhang Fei is a man without a gun! "
"You're talking nonsense. I, Zhang Fei, have never been a man without a gun!"
"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, do you always call yourself a eunuch? Since you admit that you are a eunuch, what gun do you have?" Liu Mang mocked.
"I am a Yan, not a eunuch!" Zhang Fei wanted to refute, but he could only hear the sound. How could he distinguish between the first sound and the fourth sound?
How could Liu Mang not know that Zhang Fei was a Yan? Of course, he knew. Yan meant Yan and Zhao. Zhang Fei was from Youzhou, which was originally the land of Yan and Zhao. That was why Zhang Fei called himself a Yan. It was a tradition from the Warring States Period. If Liu Mang said that in front of those scholars or poets, he would definitely be mocked. But here, other than Jia Xu, who was a scholar, the others were all uncouth. They did not care about the land of Yan and Zhao. They only knew how to joke. Not only did Liu Mang's soldiers laugh, even Zhang Fei's own men could not hold back their laughter.
"Don't laugh! Kid, today I will pull out your tendons and skin you alive! "Zhang Fei roared and pressed forward.
"Not good!" Liu Mang saw Zhang Fei's reaction and was shocked. Not only did he provoke Zhang Fei, but he also went too far and made Zhang Fei perform better than usual.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Liu Mang and Zhang Fei exchanged a few blows. After that, they could only defend and not counterattack. Zhang Fei's strength was too great. Liu Mang's long sword almost flew out of his hand.
"Die!"
"Zhang Fei, don't be so arrogant. Do you still remember Guan Hai of Qingzhou?" Just as Liu Mang could not hold on any longer, a bearded man with a hideous scar on his face rushed out. He directly resisted Liu Mang's pressure and faced Zhang Fei.
"Guan Hai?!" Zhang Fei stared angrily. He seemed to be thinking about who this Guan Hai was. However, he could not figure out which general in Liu Mang's Army he was. He could not help but laugh contemptuously. "How dare a nameless scoundrel call himself a hero!" Zhang Fei waved his snake spear and was about to kill Guan Hai.
"Nameless scoundrel!" Guan Hai was infuriated by Zhang Fei's glare. He was no longer angry. He crawled out from the pile of corpses and hid in the forest to train his martial arts. He did not appear at all when his brothers were killed or injured. What was the reason for that? Wasn't it for revenge and to wash away the humiliation he had suffered in the past? However, now that his enemy did not even recognize him, wasn't this a form of mockery?
"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, outside Beihai City, you gave me a blade. I will remember it for the rest of my life. I will definitely return it all!" Guan Hai roared with red eyes.
"Outside Beihai?" Zhang Fei finally remembered. He and his brothers had only been outside Beihai City once. Wasn't it to save Kong Rong? At that time, outside Beihai City, Kong Rong was besieged. His brother, Liu Bei, was very excited when he found out that Kong Rong knew him. He immediately sent out an army. After sending out the army, he realized that he had thousands of men while the other party had millions of Yellow Turbans. He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. However, he had to bite the bullet. "So you are that idiot from Qingzhou! The Yellow Turbans! " Zhang Fei was too lazy to remember Guan Hai's name because there was no need. This Guan Hai did not use the millions of men and insisted on fighting one-on-one. Wasn't he asking for death? Therefore, he was killed by Guan Yu's sword technique. However, he did not expect this Yellow Turbans to survive.
"Hahahaha!" Guan Hai suddenly threw his head back and laughed out loud. This was simply a mockery. He thought that he would become a huge problem for the other party, but who knew that the other party didn't care about him at all. Who could bear such a huge contrast? Fortunately, Guan Hai had already experienced life and death. He had even survived death, so there were still other things that he couldn't overcome.
"What are you laughing at? Since you are not dead, let your Grandpa Zhang Fei give you a final blow and send you on your way!"
"Only one person will die today, and that is you, Zhang Fei!" Liu Mang swung his sword at Zhang Fei. He wanted to kill Zhang Fei together with Guan Hai. To capture bandits, first capture the leader.
"Block!" Before Liu Mang's long sword could get close to Zhang Fei, it was blocked by a battle sword. Liu Mang frowned and realized that the owner of the battle sword was Guan Hai.
"Guan Hai, you?" Liu Mang did not understand and questioned.
"My Lord, leave this to me!" Guan Hai said to Liu Mang. Liu Mang frowned and was about to scold him, but when he saw Guan Hai's eyes, he swallowed his words and said, "Please!"
"Alright! Guan Hai, I will leave Zhang Fei to you, but you have to promise me that you will survive! " Liu Mang said to Guan Hai and charged towards Jia Xu and Zhou Cang. There were only a few soldiers left, but there were still more than a hundred enemies. Fortunately, Zhou Cang and Jia Xu were able to hold them off for a while. However, the pressure was still great. Jia Xu was injured and did not have any armor, so his resistance to the sword was much weaker. Jia Xu was originally a scholar, so he would definitely be injured after a long battle.
"Zhou Cang and I will kill them all!" When Liu Mang joined the battle, the pressure was immediately alleviated. Zhang Fei had brought a lot of bandits, and Liu Mang had Liu Mang and Zhou Cang, so they were evenly matched.
Over there, Guan Hai and Zhang Fei had already fought for hundreds of rounds. Neither of them could gain an advantage over the other. The saber and the snake spear clashed fiercely. Neither of them wanted to give way to the other, but neither of them could gain an advantage over the other.
"Boom!" The fierce collision of the two caused the entire warship to shake.
"Ha, ha!" The two of them seemed to have used up the last of their energy. The battle sword and spear fell to the ground. They were evenly matched, and neither of them could do anything to the other. They could only stare at each other with their eyes wide open, as if their eyes could kill.
"Third General!" The bandits saw Zhang Fei's snake spear fall to the ground and quickly surrounded Zhang Fei to protect him. Liu Mang and Zhou Cang also protected Guan Hai behind them. Zhang Fei's snake spear was grabbed by Liu Mang and handed over. Without the spear, Zhang Fei's fighting strength was reduced by half. If his weapon was left in Liu Mang's hands, it would be difficult for him to display his full strength in a short period of time.
The two sides could not do anything to each other. What Liu Mang did not expect was that Pang Tong would dare to openly ambush Liu Mang at Luokou Crossing. However, Pang Tong did not expect that Liu Mang would have two strong generals by his side. These two generals were able to cancel out Zhang Fei's advantage in numbers. Neither of them expected that the battle would end in a draw.
Just as the two sides were staring at each other, neither of them could do anything to the other, a demeanor suddenly appeared from the lower reaches of Luokou Ferry.
"It's a warship, it's a navy warship!" Everyone became excited. This was because no matter what, Luo Kou Du was still in Jingzhou. Only Liu Biao's subordinates would be able to move unhindered in Jingzhou's waters.
Liu Mang's Army was happy because if this was Liu Biao's main force, then they would certainly come to rescue Liu Mang. If Liu Mang died in Jingzhou, then it would not benefit Liu Biao. However, a living Liu Mang would give Liu Biao the greatest benefits. Not only could he use Liu Mang's Army to suppress Liu Bei and start a war with Jiangdong, but he could also use Liu Mang to restrict Liu Mang's Army so that they would not dare to invade Jingzhou.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei's troops were panicking. Once the main force of Jingzhou arrived, not only would Liu Mang not be able to kill them, but they would also not be able to escape. Liu Biao would not be able to kill Pang Tong, but he could send all of them to hell.
"Zhang Fei. I want to see if you can escape today. In the Battle of Yangzhou, Liu Bei lost Chen Dao. In this trip to Jingzhou, Liu Bei will also lose his Third Brother. Those who scheme against others will be dealt with!" Liu Mang also saw the warships downstream heading towards Luokou Ferry. They were already within his sight. Even if Zhang Fei wanted to escape, he would not be able to.
"Hmph!" Zhang Fei snorted. He was exhausted, but he still struggled to sit up. "You want to kill me? You're daydreaming!" Zhang Fei knew that if this was the army of Jingzhou, he would not be able to escape. Zhang Fei also looked at the warship. After looking at it for a while, his expression changed. Suddenly, Zhang Fei laughed. "Liu Mang, Liu Mang, I'm afraid that the one who will die this time will be you, Liu Mang!"
"What!" Liu Mang turned around. The warship was getting closer. Liu Mang's eyes widened. He could clearly see the word 'Huang' written on it.
Huang! If it was just the word 'Huang', Liu Mang would not have reacted like this. However, since Zhang Fei was so arrogant, there was naturally a problem with the word 'Huang'. Jingzhou's Huang Family.
"Liu Mang, you did not expect that the Military Advisor would not only send me, Old Zhang, but also this pretty boy from the Huang Clan!" Zhang Fei said with a big smile.
"Pretty boy from the Huang Family!" In Zhang Fei's eyes, anyone who was whiter than him was a pretty boy. However, there was only one person in the Huang Family who was the eldest son of the Huang Family, Huang She. Speaking of this Huang She, he was an old acquaintance of Liu Mang. Liu Mang personally captured Huang She and used him to force Huang Zhong to surrender. After that, he even sold Huang She to Liu Mang for free. It could be said that Liu Mang treated Huang She like a shadow. It would be strange if this Huang She came to save Liu Mang.
"Milord, quickly board the boat!" Guan Hai shouted at Liu Mang.
"Go? Where do you think you're going?" Zhang Fei sneered. Now, Liu Mang only had seven people left. Jia Xu, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and four other soldiers. Other than Zhou Cang and Zhang Fei, everyone else was injured. Guan Hai was even severely injured and could not break out of the encirclement.
"Milord, you go first. We'll cover you!" The soldiers shouted. They were originally trained by Yang Hong to protect Liu Mang. Now that Liu Mang was in danger, they naturally had to sacrifice themselves.
"Yes, Milord, quickly leave! Don't worry about me! " Guan Hai also knew that the situation was urgent. Rui Ran might die if she jumped into the water due to the rapid current. However, she would definitely die if she stayed here. Therefore, Guan Hai decided to stay here and cover Liu Mang's retreat.
"Wen He!" Liu Mang turned to look at Jia Xu, hoping that he could give him a plan. However, Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Now, there was an ambush in front of them and behind them. If they were on land, they could still escape with their war horses or hide in the forest. However, they were on the Yangtze River. The river was so big that there was nowhere to run. Perhaps jumping into the water was the only way to survive.
"Liu Mang, you little brat. If you hang yourself here, I, Old Zhang, will leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, your flesh will be torn apart and your bones will be smashed to pieces!" Zhang Fei was still thinking about Chen Dao's corpse that Liu Mang mentioned earlier. That's why he was so angry at Liu Mang.
"Jump into the water?" Liu Mang immediately rejected the idea. Staying here is a sure death. Jumping into the water is also a sure death. Because Liu Mang doesn't know how to swim. Jumping into the water is equivalent to committing suicide. It's better to hang himself than to drown and let his body swell.
"I will not leave!" Liu Mang had no way out. "I will not leave you guys behind. If we die, we will all die together! "Liu Mang said righteously. However, no one knew that Liu Mang did not know how to swim.
"Milord!" Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and the others looked at Liu Mang affectionately. Liu Mang almost shivered.
Guan Hai was willing to work under Liu Mang because Liu Mang could give him a chance to take revenge. Zhou Cang was also curious. However, both of them were now convinced by Liu Mang. A lord who would not give up on his subordinates and was willing to live and die with them. Who would not want to work for such a lord?
"Guan Hai, Zhou Cang! Heaven Duke, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and Liu Mang, the only wise lord in this life, will be the lord's servant in life. If he dies, he will be the lord's ghost. If he goes against this, he will never be reincarnated! " Zhou Cang and Guan Hai were originally part of the Yellow Turban Army. To be honest, to the commoners, the Yellow Turban Army was a rebellion that took advantage of the commoners. It was the same for some opportunists, but to people like Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, Heaven Duke Zhang Jiao was a true leader, a spiritual leader.
"Such a big man with so much donkey urine. No wonder you are a Yellow Turban Bandit!" Zhang Fei continued to mock.
"It's still better than you!" Guan Hai retorted. Zhang Fei was so angry that he almost stood up.
"Haha!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect that he only wanted to die with honor. Who would want to beg for mercy before dying? In the end, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai swore loyalty to him. He did not know whether to cry or laugh.
Liu Mang picked up the Serpent Spear in his hand. He will use this famous Zhang Sanye's Serpent Spear to end his life.
Liu Mang held the snake spear and suddenly widened his eyes. "Wenhe!"
"My lord, Jia Xu has no other choice!" Jia Xu was also a non-swimmer. He was also observing his surroundings. He did not want to die. Damn it, you said you would not come to Jingzhou, but you insisted on coming. You even brought me along. Jia Xu was cursing in his heart. He did not die during the Wuwei Rebellion, Chang 'an Luoyang Rebellion, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao's struggle for hegemony, and even when Zhang Xiu was killed by Hu Che Er, he did not die. But now, he was going to be buried in this river. Who did he, Jia Xu, offend?
"Wenhe, Wenhe, we might not have to die. We have reinforcements!" Liu Mang stared at Jia Xu and said.
"Reinforcements?" Jia Xu thought that Liu Mang had lost his mind. How could there be reinforcements? It was only Huang She's troops.
"Don't you remember the Wuwei Rebellion?" Liu Mang asked Jia Xu.
"Reinforcements? Wuwei Rebellion? Huang She's troops? "Jia Xu's eyes lit up." My lord, you mean … "
"That's right. If we succeed, we will live. If we fail, we will die!" Liu Mang said firmly.
