Chapter 163 It is a pity to kill such a fierce general
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were waiting in formation, including Cao Cao, Zhang Fei knew something was wrong.
He thought about what Zhuge Liang and others said that Cao Cao would set up an ambush and wait, and at this moment he thought about retreating immediately.
But seeing Cao Cao right in front of him, doesn't what the eldest brother want is to kill Cao Cao?
Today I want to take care of my brother's worries, behead Cao Cao with my own hands and take him back, so that he can praise me fiercely.
Zhang Fei thought about it, and his intention to retreat suddenly disappeared. He raised his snake spear, pointed it at Cao Cao opposite and shouted: "Cao Cao, you can't escape today. Quickly raise your head and behead me, lest I poke a few holes in you."
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed suddenly, "Zhang Fei is indeed a hero for speaking out without fear. It's a pity that you are with the wrong person. If you come to follow Gu, you will do your best. Thank you."
Will be granted the title of Marquis."
Cao Cao really likes Zhang Fei and his martial arts, but Cao Cao also knows that rough men like Zhang Fei are often less likely to commit betrayal, and he will follow the one he chooses to the end.
"Bah, everyone with you will die quickly. I don't want to die so quickly. Stop gossiping and take your head."
Zhang Fei said no more, roared angrily, clapped his horse and charged forward with his spear, followed by the soldiers and horses behind him.
These soldiers and horses followed Zhang Fei in many battles and won many battles without ever being defeated. They felt somewhat proud in their hearts.
As we chased him all the way, we saw that the enemy soldiers had discarded so many things, so we thought that the enemy soldiers had fled in panic and were vulnerable to attack.
So they don't think too much. Even if someone knows that something is wrong, there is nothing they can do now. How could they escape following Zhang Fei? They have to be very careful about what they say, for fear that if they say something wrong, they will be whipped by Zhang Fei.
They raised their weapons and followed Zhang Fei with roars, killing the enemy soldiers.
Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei kill Le Jin with his own eyes and knew that this man's bravery was extraordinary, but he also had a brave man beside him.
"Dian Xiaowei, with your bravery, you can defeat Zhang Fei. If you can kill Zhang Fei, you can become a general and a prince."
Dian Wei is now the Colonel of Wu Meng. Cao Cao has many talented people under his command and has so many relatives. Dian Wei can be promoted to the military position of Colonel Wu Meng by virtue of his military merits. It is earned through his force.
"You can rest assured, Wei will behead Zhang Fei and present it in front of you."
Dian Wei held two halberds in his hands, clapped his horse and rushed out to meet Zhang Fei.
Cao Cao retreated under the protection of other soldiers, while Yu Jin led his troops forward to fight.
Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao retreating and shouted anxiously: "Don't leave, thief Cao, leave his head behind."
"I think I'm leaving your head behind."
Dian Wei clapped his horse to approach Zhang Fei, and responded loudly to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei just looked at the momentum of the man coming across from him and knew that this man must have extraordinary strength. His fighting spirit suddenly aroused. At this moment, he no longer cared about Cao Cao and rushed straight towards Dian Wei. When he approached, he raised his spear and stabbed him.
Dian Wei danced his two halberds, blocking the flying snake spears while raising his halberds to thrust out.
If he was a person with average strength, he would be stabbed to death by Dian Wei in just one round.
But Zhang Fei was not an ordinary person, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy now. He quickly turned his snake spear back and blocked Dian Wei's halberd.
As the soldiers and horses from both sides roared in unison, the soldiers and horses from both sides quickly charged together.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Now the soldiers and horses of the two armies are rushing together. In terms of momentum, Zhang Fei's soldiers are stronger.
After all, many of Cao Cao's soldiers saw Zhang Fei beheading Le Jin with their own eyes, so they were afraid of Zhang Fei and felt a little timid in their hearts.
Therefore, when the soldiers and horses of both sides rushed together, Zhang Fei's soldiers were more fierce, and Cao Cao's soldiers fell to the ground one after another, wailing continuously.
However, although these enemy soldiers were a little weaker, with Cao Cao supervising the battle from behind and Yu Jin commanding the troops, they quickly stabilized their formation and blocked Zhang Fei's offensive. To determine victory or defeat, they all just fought hard.
Cao Cao stood watching from a distance, his eyes full of envy: "A brave general makes a strong army. Zhang Fei can be said to be the most powerful general under Liu Bei's command!"
"Dian Xiaowei is also the most powerful general under Ming Gong. If he is an enemy, Zhang Fei will be killed." Guo Jia responded from the side.
"It would be a pity to kill such a fierce general!" Cao Cao sighed.
"Zhang Fei is a rude and rude person, but such a person attaches great importance to loyalty and must be determined to die without surrender. If Ming Gong wants to surrender, it will be extremely difficult for him. If he cannot surrender, he will be killed. It is no regret."
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "It's time for Xu Gongming's ambush to come out."
"Yeah, yeah, hey... take a spear from me."
Zhang Fei was so anxious that he kept yelling.
He and Dian Wei had fought for more than thirty rounds, and they were evenly matched. No one had an advantage, and no one was at a disadvantage.
Dian Wei followed Cao Cao in countless battles, and countless enemy soldiers died in his hands, but he had never encountered such a fierce opponent.
At this moment, Dian Wei was already in a hurry. He thrust out one halberd after another, but was always blocked or avoided by Zhang Fei. He also had to be careful at all times to beware of Zhang Fei's sudden stabbing snake spear.
Yu Jin was killing Zhang Fei's soldiers on the other side. Cao Cao had ordered him not to fight Zhang Fei, so he could only watch Dian Wei fight Zhang Fei.
In fact, Yu Jin also understood that Cao Cao was afraid that he would be killed by Zhang Fei like Le Jin. Generals like him were rare, so he should avoid them as much as possible. Zhang Fei would have someone to deal with him.
There was a fight between Yu Jin and his troops, with more troops and horses than Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao supervising the battle from behind. All the soldiers fought hard, and Zhang Fei's troops were soon killed until they could not advance even an inch, and were even retreating.
Zhang Fei was only focused on fighting Dian Wei. He didn't care whether the soldiers could resist him. He just wanted to quickly kill the man in front of him who was wielding a double halberd, and then he could go and take Cao Cao's head.
But it was so difficult to kill the man in front of him who was wielding two halberds. The two of them had already fought for more than fifty rounds.
At this moment, Zhang Fei heard the beating of drums behind him and the loud shouts of killing. He was overjoyed and thought it was Li Jia who led the troops to kill. When he looked back, he saw Cao Jun wearing the enemy's military uniform.
Cao Cao indeed had an ambush.
Zhang Fei panicked a little at this moment, knowing that he was too careless and fell into Cao Cao's trick.
It's just that the enemy soldiers in front are already difficult to win by themselves, and now there are ambushes coming out from behind. Needless to say, I will definitely lose this battle. Now I only think about how to lead the soldiers to escape.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
Zhang Fei suddenly shouted. Although he was extremely reluctant to shout the word "withdraw", he did not want all his brothers to die in this.
But now that he was surrounded by enemies, it was not easy to evacuate. Moreover, he was entangled by Dian Wei and could not get away for a while.
Xu Huang's ambush troops suddenly came out from behind, and Zhang Fei's troops panicked. Many wanted to flee, but when they saw Zhang Fei still fighting with the enemy general, how could they abandon their general and run away? .
They could only resist with all their strength, but the enemy soldiers attacked from both sides. These enemy soldiers were far different from the enemy soldiers when they fought against Yuan Shu in the past, and they appeared to be more brave.
Moreover, there were so many enemy soldiers that they could only watch the brothers around them fall down one by one, and those lying on the ground were almost all the corpses of their own people.
When Zhang Fei saw this scene, he became even more angry. He roared and danced wildly with his snake spear, trying to get rid of Dian Wei's entanglement.
Dian Wei had already seen what he was thinking and clung to Zhang Fei, knowing that as long as he was held back, he would definitely die here today.
Li Jia led his troops and followed him. He came back with his horse and reported that Zhang Fei had caught up with the enemy soldiers and was fighting them.
He always felt that there was a fraud, so he did not immediately lead his troops to help, but wanted to wait and see if Cao Cao had set up an ambush.
If Cao Cao really has an ambush, he can only wait for the opponent's ambush troops to be out before he rushes there, so that he can be caught by surprise. Otherwise, if he goes early and is attacked from behind by his ambush troops, then he will be attacked front and back just like Zhang Fei.
.
Not long after, the detective horse reported back. As expected, Cao Cao set up an ambush, and now the ambush has been exhausted, after covering up Zhang Fei's attack.
"No, General Zhang is in danger!"
Li Jia hurriedly said: "Send an order to the entire army to rescue General Zhang. When they saw the enemy soldiers, they all shouted loudly, "General Zhang, my lord has come to save you."
"Sima, my lord is not here." The military commander next to him looked puzzled.
"Cao Cao has laid an ambush and is waiting. He will leave brave generals and strong troops to cut off the rear in person. We have few soldiers and may not be able to match him. We can only pretend that the lord has arrived with his troops. If Cao Cao believes this, he will retreat in fear."
"promise."
The military lord understood Li Jia's intention, accepted the offer and went to deliver the order.
Li Jia led three thousand soldiers and horses, raised all the flags, beat all the war drums, and marched in noisily.
Zhang Fei and Dian Wei fought for more than 100 rounds. Although the two were still indistinguishable, Zhang Fei saw his troops falling to the ground one after another. He was anxious and confused. He appeared to be in danger frequently and almost came close several times.
He was stabbed by Dian Wei.
Cao Cao looked at it from a distance, stroking his short beard with a smile on his face.
He believed that as long as Zhang Fei died, Liu Bei's morale would be greatly damaged, and it would be much easier to defeat him by then.
Seeing Zhang Fei's soldiers being killed and falling to the ground, Zhang Fei also looked panicked. Cao Cao believed that no one could save Zhang Fei today and his death was inevitable.
However, just when he was feeling proud, he suddenly saw enemy soldiers coming from a distance, with flags covering the sky and drums beating like thunder. It looked like there were many men and horses.
Cao Cao felt strange. As far as he knew, Zhang Fei and Li Jia only brought five or six thousand soldiers to pursue them. What they saw now seemed to be more than a few thousand soldiers and horses.
Seeing the enemy soldiers in the distance approaching and engaging Xu Huang's troops, the soldiers rushed to report: "General, Liu Bei's troops have arrived."
"What?!"
Cao Cao was shocked. If Liu Bei led his troops to attack, it meant that Xuzhou's army had arrived. He only had a few thousand soldiers left behind, so how could he defeat Liu Bei's army?
But how could Liu Bei's soldiers and horses move so fast? They can catch up with him now.
"Are you sure Liu Bei has arrived with his troops?"
"When the enemy comes, they all shout, 'The lord has arrived,' and the enemy soldiers all shout that Liu Bei is the lord. It must be Liu Bei who leads the troops to kill him."
Cao Cao thought about it carefully and laughed loudly: "This is a tactic used by the enemy generals to suspect their troops. If Liu Bei really arrived, he would never shout like this. They just wanted to scare me and rescue Zhang Fei. I ordered the whole army not to be alarmed.
Block the incoming enemy."
However, although Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Bei had arrived, Xu Huang's troops did not think so.
When they heard that the leader of the Xuzhou army had arrived, that meant that Liu Bei had arrived. Liu Bei had arrived, which meant that the Xuzhou army had arrived.
Thinking of this, many Cao soldiers felt that the enemy who came to help was very fierce, and they were killed and retreated one after another.
Zhang Fei was still fighting with Dian Wei and was worried that he could not escape. Suddenly he saw reinforcements coming to save him and heard that it was his lord who came to save him. He was stunned.
Then he thought that it was impossible for his eldest brother's troops to arrive now. This must be Li Jia's hypothesis, to frighten the enemy and save him.
With the reinforcements, Zhang Fei had confidence in his heart. Of course, it was not the confidence to kill Cao Cao's head, but the confidence to retreat.
As Xu Huang's soldiers and horses retreated, the soldiers and horses in front of Yu Jin were gradually squeezed back.
Even if Cao Cao sent people to shout loudly that the enemy soldiers coming to the rescue were not Liu Bei but only 3,000 enemy soldiers, but with the chaos now, no one would listen.
Xu Huang tried to stop the troops from retreating but was unable to do so. Instead, he himself was forced to retreat.
Zhang Fei and Dian Wei were also squeezed away by the retreating Cao soldiers.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he was able to escape. He stabbed several retreating enemy soldiers to death with his spear, then clapped his horse and retreated.
"General Zhang, leave quickly."
Li Jia saw Zhang Fei escape and shouted loudly.
Zhang Fei stopped showing off at this time and responded loudly: "Li Sima, retreat together."
"withdraw."
Li Jia came here with the purpose of rescuing Zhang Fei. Now that Zhang Fei was out of trouble, he did not dare to tangle with the enemy soldiers anymore and immediately sent an order to retreat.
