Chapter 28, Not Staying

  Before long, the sentry rushed back, panting heavily, and reported to Xu Feng: "Report to General Xu, in front of the thicket, there is a group of government soldiers chasing and killing a black-faced strong man."

  "Government troops?" Xu Feng repeated, his face suddenly turning icy. "How many men and horses do they have?"

  "More than two hundred people."

  "More than 200 people, they really have eaten the gall of a dog, daring to disturb when the old tiger is dozing off. They truly don't know life or death. Come, follow me to take a look." Xu Feng picked up his silver spear and strode out of the big tent in large strides. Someone had already led over Xu Feng's black horse, Xu Feng mounted it with a flip, holding onto the long spear. Xue Cheng and others heard the commotion and hastily followed on their war horses. Xu Feng and his group of dozens of people galloped straight towards the forest ahead.

  "Dian Wei, today is your day of death." A military officer riding a tall horse shouted loudly, pointing at the big man surrounded by his subordinates.

  He was a giant of a man, with a sturdy build and an imposing presence. He grasped a pair of iron spears in his hands, and his entire body was covered in scars and wounds, with bloodstains all over him. Originally, he looked as intimidating as a black iron tower, but now, with fresh blood splattered all over him, he seemed like a terrifying demon from hell.

  Although injured, Dian Wei was exceptionally fierce and intimidating, with the bodies of government soldiers lying horizontally and vertically around him. Some had their brains smashed, some had their chests caved in, and some had their legs broken off. Not a single one was intact. The ground was covered in blood, forming a river, and the stench of blood filled the air, making it hard to breathe. The smell wafted far away with the wind, causing Xu Feng and others who came running at the sound to feel suffocated.

  "Dian Wei?" Xu Feng was extremely shocked to hear the name shouted out by the other party. Ah, my good fellow, if this person is really Dian Wei, then I've struck gold.

  "Haha, thinking of taking my life? I'm afraid you don't have the skills for that. If you're not afraid to die, come on over, your family's Di Wei will never frown. Di Wei's twin iron spears heavily clashed together, like a fierce tiger, and once again charged into the crowd."

  In his hands, the pair of iron pikes flew up and down, left chopping right smashing, uppercutting and lower sweeping. The nearby officers and soldiers who moved slightly slower were cut down like cutting vegetables, sent to hell.

  "Brothers, don't be afraid, he's already injured. No matter how brave and fierce he is, after all, he's just one person. Let's go together and take him down." The general saw Tian Wei rushing towards himself and his face changed, hastily urging his subordinates to charge up.

  "Don't be afraid of death, come on! Your family's Di Ye will keep you company and play with you." Di Wei was calm and fearless, laughing loudly at the sky. The kind of domineering and disdainful aura made Xu Feng secretly admire him, indeed a fierce general.

  Dian Wei, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, was known as the "Evil Coming". He had a majestic appearance and strength like an ox. He followed Cao Cao with unwavering loyalty and bravery, achieving great merits. When the vanguard flag of Cao Cao's army was blown down by strong winds, Dian Wei single-handedly held up the flagpole, defying the raging gusts, and the flagpole stood still.

  Always carrying twelve small halberds on his person, he could shoot through a willow leaf at a hundred paces without missing. His eighty-catty iron fork weighed as if it were nothing, and he wielded it with ease.

  When Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, from dawn till dusk, never left his side, even at night when tired, mostly rested outside Cao Cao's tent, rarely returned to the mansion. Such a loyal minister is rare in history.

  Cao Cao's battle at Wan City was the last and most glorious battle of Dian Wei's life, where he fought with his bare hands, killing and wounding countless enemies, and after his death, no one dared to take a step forward for a long time, ensuring Cao Cao's safe retreat.

  Unparalleled martial arts, extraordinary loyalty and bravery. How could Xu Feng not like such a character? Moreover, as the leader of the Yellow Turbans, recruiting talented ministers and generals is already a difficult task, but only someone like Dian Wei, who has no background or family ties and also holds a grudge against the imperial army, would have the opportunity to join him.

  Thinking of this, Xu Feng didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted "Not one will be left, slaughter all the government troops."

  The "Yellow Turbans" were originally at odds with the imperial court's army, and as soon as they saw each other, without needing Xu Feng to say anything, everyone responded in unison, drew out their swords, and charged forward on horseback.

  Xue Cheng, Ma Wu, although their martial arts skills were not great, the two of them were clever and specifically targeted each other's small pawns, while some titled generals were struck down by Zhang Fei with his long spear.

  "The Yellow Turbans have arrived, what shall we do, Master Ma?"

  "What else can be done? Just a few dozen people, give me the old man to kill..." Before the words were finished, Zhang Fei held his long spear and rushed over like a strong wind, arriving in front of the leader in an instant. With a loud shout, he said "You dog official, Zhang Ye has come to take your dog life! Don't you dare stand up straight and wait for Zhang Ye to pierce you under the horse!"

  "Ah..." Zhang Fei's loud roar was like a thunderclap, shocking the enemy general so much that he almost fell off his horse. Before he could regain his balance, Zhang Fei's long spear flashed out and pierced through the general's chest like a hot knife through butter, as if it had been skewered on a meat hook.

  "The imperial court's dog officials, that's all they're capable of." Zhang Fei cursed in disgust and in a fit of rage, with a whooshing sound, he thrust his spear into the air, sending his opponent flying. Fresh blood sprayed everywhere, filling the air with a bloody mist. The long spear, covered in bloodstains, glinted in the sunlight, its eerie and terrifying appearance making everyone's hair stand on end. The commander's eyes were wide open, his black and white eyeballs bulging out, his face twisted in a gruesome death grimace. The remaining officials and soldiers were all stunned, several of the timid ones covering their stomachs, vomiting uncontrollably.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Feng and others came like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, launching a fierce attack. Several hundred government soldiers were instantly killed in front of everyone's tiger-wolf-like offensive, without any ability to resist. Dian Wei was puzzled in his heart, but he was still very moved by Xu Feng's righteous assistance, and didn't say much. He wielded the 80-jin heavy twin iron spears like a meat grinder, charging at those frightened government soldiers, madly killing them.

  More than 200 officials and soldiers were killed by Xu Feng and others, with no one surviving.

  "With a thud..." Dian Wei, due to excessive blood loss and prolonged fierce battle, suddenly stumbled and fell heavily. Xu Feng hastily dismounted his horse and rushed to Dian Wei's side, anxiously asking "Dian Zhuang Shi, are you alright?"

  "I'm fine... I was chased by the government troops for four days and four nights, just a bit tired..." Dian Wei said weakly, suddenly his head tilted to one side, and he fainted.

  "It's actually been fighting with the government army for four days and four nights, this one is really not simple." Zhang Fei rarely praised others, perhaps it was because of the hero's sympathy for heroes. As soon as he saw Dian Wei, Zhang Fei had a good impression of him and asked anxiously, "Is he all right?"

  "It's nothing, just overexertion and excessive blood loss. With a few days of rest, he'll be fine. Come on, quickly send Tian Zhuang to our camp, let the military doctor treat him properly." Xu Feng turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him.
