Chapter 49: The Great Figure of Wan City (Part 2) 1/2

  Dian Wei lost his mount but was not afraid at all.

  He held his halberd horizontally in front of him, shouting loudly...

  Zhang Xin's face turned red with rage, and he shouted loudly, "Dian Wei, you're looking for death!"

  As he spoke, he urged his horse and gun to charge towards Dian Wei. The horses of the Western Liang army were mostly fine horses from Western Liang, with huge bodies and incredible speed. When they charged, it was like a whirlwind. As soon as Zhang Xin launched the charge, the surrounding Western Liang cavalry left their horses to circle around and surround Dian Wei.

  Dian Wei sneered, "Is this all you've got?"

  Facing Zhang Xin, he suddenly stepped on the air and rose up, his left hand thrust forward to probe, with a "ding" sound locking Zhang Xin's long gun. The huge force really made Zhang Xin's arm numb. Before he could react, Dian Wei's right hand chopped down, chopping towards Mount Hua, with an astonishing momentum.

  Just then, a horse suddenly rushed out of the rotating cavalry team.

  "Diǎn Wéi, xiū shāng wǒ zhǔ."

  Translation: "Dian Wei, surrender and spare my lord's life."

  A cavalryman came galloping over like a whirlwind, his long spear quivering with a loud hum as he fiercely stabbed at Dianwei.

  If Dian Wei didn't back down, he might have been able to hurt Zhang Xin, but he himself would inevitably be worried about his own life. Before he could finish speaking, Dian Wei suddenly turned around in mid-air and swung his halberd out, striking the spear shaft of the Western Liang cavalryman. The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air, and in an instant, Dian Wei had struck out over a dozen times, each blow containing enormous power. He shook the Western Liang cavalryman so hard that his mouth split open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

  Zhang Xun's horse and Dian Wei collided as they passed each other, while the Western Liang cavalry fell directly from their horses to the ground.

  The force of the spear was so strong that it almost shattered the heart of the cavalry general, and when Dian Wei fell to the ground, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his leg, which went limp, causing him to kneel on one knee. It turned out that Zhang Xin had shot an arrow into his thigh earlier, and this injury made it difficult for him to exert force.

  The wound on his shoulder began to seep blood again. Dian Wei panted heavily, kneeling on one knee, propping himself up with his halberd, and laughed loudly.

  "You're just a local dog and you dare to speak wildly!"

  As he spoke, Dian Wei opened his big mouth and used force on his hands, and with a loud "huff", he stood up again.

  Before him, the corpses of the Western Liang cavalry lay quietly on the ground, their seven orifices bleeding, having died from exhaustion.

  Originally, he thought that Dian Wei was seriously injured and that he could easily capture him. But unexpectedly, this guy was still so ferocious, taking down his most elite Western Liang Iron Cavalry with just one move. Zhang Xin's face turned extremely unsightly. He gritted his teeth, suddenly pointing the 8-foot long spear in his hand at Dian Wei and loudly shouted: "Kill me... I want to see how much longer you can hold on!"

  The Western Coolidge cavalry heard and shouted in unison.

  A warhorse suddenly reared up on its hind legs and galloped towards Tianwei like the wind.

  Just as Dian Wei was about to be surrounded by the crowd, a loud shout came from above: "Bullying the few with the many, what kind of skill is that?"

  A figure emerged from the tree and swooped down, stretching out its body in mid-air like a falcon, diving down swiftly.

  A gleaming dragon-shaped saber, under the sunlight, brought a curved glow like a rainbow, and swooped down to slash at a Western Liang cavalry general.

  The cavalry general was shocked, and hastily raised his gun to block it. All he heard was a series of clanging sounds as the steel knife clashed with the large spear three times in an instant. The sharp blade accurately landed on the same spot each time. Although the cavalry general's large spear was made of iron, under this series of collisions, it snapped into two pieces. The figure fell to the ground, and the big knife slid down along the cavalry general's face, tearing apart his iron armor.

  A faint bloodstain appeared on his chest, growing clearer by the second. Suddenly, with a loud "pffft" sound, a plume of blood erupted from his body, and the general fell off his horse...

  "Hey, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

  Wei Yan fell to the ground, but the Dragon and Sparrow Great Sword in his hand did not stop.

  Only see knife-like clouds fluttering about ceaselessly, rolling and surging without end. Gale winds blow in all directions, howling incessantly.

  Dian Wei was overjoyed when he saw reinforcements arriving and his spirits were lifted immediately.

  He let out a loud roar, enduring the severe pain in his legs, and leapt into the air. The twin iron pikes in his hands pierced fiercely into the chest of a Western Liang cavalryman, pulling him off his horse. Then, the twin pikes flew about swiftly, rushing to Wei Yan's side. The two men stood back-to-back, forming a simple formation, fighting against the Western Liang cavalry together.

  In an instant, under Gao Qiu Pavilion, people shouted and horses neighed.

  Cao Peng hid in the tree, calmly observing the situation on the field.

  Wei Yan's large knife was sharp and powerful, with a strong momentum. Every time he swung it out, it brought an ear-piercing whistling sound, forcing his opponents to keep their distance. As for Dian Wei, his double halberds flew about, transforming into a swirling cloud of halberds. Anyone who dared to approach would be met with a fatal blow. In just a short moment, over ten Western Liang cavalrymen fell to the ground in a pool of blood. However, Dian Wei's body also gained two more wounds, though not fatal, his uniform was stained with blood.

  It can't go on like this!

  Cao Peng could see that both Wei Yan and Dian Wei were using their most ferocious moves to attack.

  It can certainly cause massive casualties, but for the two of them, this kind of continuous attack will inevitably exhaust them.

  And the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.

  Wancheng army will arrive soon with reinforcements. At that time, the enemy will be more numerous, and it will not be possible to rescue Dianwei, and even Wei Yan will be dragged down together.

  Eyes wandering, looking around in all directions.

  Suddenly, Cao Peng found Zhang Xin unconsciously moving towards him.

  It seems that Dian Wei and Wei Yan's methods of killing were too cruel, so much so that Zhang Xin, one of the three tigers of Zhang Men, was somewhat frightened.

  Subconsciously backing away, he gradually arrived at the bottom of where Cao Peng was hiding.

  A pair of eyes stared intently at the battlefield. The long spear was tightly grasped in hand, but his heart kept pounding...

  People say that Tianwei is invincible in battle, and now it seems to be true. It looks like we can't fight him head-on, our only chance is to launch a surprise attack.

  But where did this guy come from?

  Looking at his attire, he doesn't seem to be from Cao's army...

  Zhang Xin pondered the origin of Wei Yan while secretly putting away his long spear, lifting his leg to take out a bow and arrow from his quiver.

  He gritted his teeth and slowly drew the bowstring.

  When the strong bow was drawn into a full moon shape, Zhang Xin's heart burst out laughing coldly.

  Fame is just around the corner!

  "You little thief, stop shooting hidden arrows to hurt people."

  A sudden, childish shout of rebuke came from beside his ear. Cao Peng saw that Zhang Xin was completely unaware of his presence and suddenly swooped down from the tree, grasping a short sword in one hand and stretching out the other. Zhang Xin was caught off guard and was startled by the sudden shout above his head. He looked up to see an arrow flying straight at him, hitting him right in the thigh.

  Zhang Xin suddenly let out a loud cry of pain!

  Just then, Cao Peng had arrived in front of him.

  A palm slapped Zhang Xin's shoulder, and after flexing his elbow to unload the force, he suddenly exerted his strength, and his body shot up again.

  With this momentum, Cao Peng somersaulted in mid-air, his sharp short sword slicing across Zhang Xin's neck, beheading him...

  A thick stream of fresh blood spurted out from the hole and splashed all over Cao Peng's body.

  After Zhang Xin's head fell to the ground, it rolled twice, and his face still had a look of confusion.

  "The bandit is already dead, General Jian can rest easy now, reinforcements have arrived!"

  The Western Cool Riders first heard Zhang Xin's mournful cry, turned their heads to look back, and saw a headless corpse spraying blood from the cave, falling from the horse to the ground. Before they could react, they heard Cao Peng's shouting again.

  Has Cao Jun's reinforcements arrived?

  My god, Cao Jun still has reinforcements!

  Although they had the upper hand, the Western Coolidge cavalry was also frightened by Wei Yan and Dianwei.

  Just as Cao Jun's reinforcements arrived, coupled with Zhang Xin being killed... a series of shocks caused the Western Liang cavalry to suddenly become chaotic, each one shouting loudly and turning their horses to flee.

  "Has the reinforcement arrived? Where is the reinforcement? Is it Yuan Rang or Wen Zhen?"

  Typing away with a sigh, muttering to himself in his heart.

  Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, his tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his vision going black.

  Wei Yan held a long knife in his hand, and his whole body's skeleton seemed to have fallen apart.

  "Ah Fu, did Cao Gong really lose?"

  He looked at Cao Peng, his eyes still filled with a hint of doubt.

  In his view, Cao Cao was so powerful, how could he be defeated by Zhang Liao?

  "This guy, who is he? How can he be so bold... If he hadn't been injured, I reckon not even ten of them would be his match."

  Wei Yan just fought side by side with Ding Wei, so he naturally saw it very clearly.

  On one hand, he was perplexed by Cao Cao's defeat; on the other hand, he was shocked by Zhang Liao's ferocious fighting strength.

  How vast is the world! How numerous are heroes and great men!

  Wei Yan felt a sudden sense of loss when he saw Dian Wei's murderous aura.

  Perhaps I really underestimated the heroes of the world before? He thought to himself.

  Cao Peng naturally didn't know. If he knew that the appearance of Dian Wei had reduced Wei Yan's arrogance in his heart, it would be unknown what kind of emotion it would be.

  He quickly walked up and examined the injuries on Tian Wei's body.

  Tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, tightly bound Tie Wei's wound, then said to Wei Yan: "This place cannot stay for long, quickly help me lift him up."

  "Ah, here it comes!"

  Wei Yan was like a dream come true, hastily rushing forward and taking the Tianwei from Cao Peng's hands.

  "Ah Fu, who is this guy?"

  Cao Peng busied himself leading two ownerless Xiliang warhorses from the battlefield, handing the reins to Wei Yan before taking a Han ring knife from a Xiliang cavalry general's body and mounting his horse.

  "Wei Big Brother, if you want to stand firm in Cao's camp, he is your recommender."

  "Huh?"

  "I'll tell you in detail later, let's head back to Dawanggang first. I reckon it won't be long before Zhang Xiu of Yancheng sends someone over..."

  Having said that, Cao Peng shook the reins and urged his horse on.

  Wei Yan was in a daze, but he also knew that they couldn't stay at Gao Qiu Ting for long.

  As for Wan City... don't even think about it!

  I guess by then, it had already become a mess over there.

  Thinking of this, Wei Yan first helped Tianwei onto the horse with some effort, then mounted the horse himself, grasped the reins and shouted "Ah Fu, wait for me... let's go!"

  The war horse let out a long neigh and galloped away with its four hooves splayed open, chasing after Cao Peng's direction!
