Chapter 9, Throwing it on the ground with a loud noise

  "Bang bang bang", the bowstring vibrated, arrows fell like rain, flying bows and arrows rushed towards Liu Bei and Guan Yu, pouring down like a heavy rainstorm, densely falling. Although the two were brave and powerful, they weren't invincible war gods, and could only swing their weapons to deflect the feathered arrows.

  "Ah..." A miserable cry sounded in his ear, Xu Feng turned around to take a look and was shocked. Zhou Cang, who had been fighting fiercely for over 20 rounds, still got stabbed in the chest by Zhang Fei.

  "Zhang Fei, look out for the knife." Xu Feng dodged through the crowd and charged over with his steel knife at high speed. As he got closer, he tapped both feet on the ground, sprang into the air, and swung his steel knife down towards Zhang Fei's waist.

  "Looking for death." Zhang Fei drew out his long spear, and with a push of the window, he struck Xu Feng's wrist with a loud crash. Xu Feng felt a numbness in his wrist, and his hand trembled violently. The opponent's strange power was indeed extraordinary, and the steel knife in his hand almost slipped out. Xu Feng's body flew backward, and if not for his quick reflexes, he would have fallen to the ground.

  Xu Feng's steel knife pierced the ground, barely avoiding falling over. A wave of hot blood surged in his chest, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out.

  "Xu Feng, step down! You're no match for him." Zhou Cang shouted loudly, clutching his chest.

  Wiping the blood from his mouth, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and stood up to face Zhang Fei, dragging his steel knife behind him, taking one step at a time, and walking forward again. In his eyes, there was only an overwhelming desire for battle, without a hint of fear.

  "With guts, Third Brother will send you to hell as you wish." Zhang Fei secretly nodded in approval of Xu Feng's fearless determination, but since they were on opposite sides of the battlefield, each fighting for their own lord, Zhang Fei wouldn't be foolish enough to spare Xu Feng.

  "Look at the knife." Xufeng swung his sword again, chopping towards Zhang Fei's thigh. Zhang Fei, riding on horseback, shook his long spear and stabbed it rapidly towards Xufeng's chest.

  "Fast gun law" Xu Feng hurriedly waved his knife to block, a burst of sparks in the air, Xu Feng's steel knife was once again knocked aside by Zhang Fei. However, Xu Feng still didn't retreat half a step, he rolled on the ground like a fallen donkey, and with a sweep of his steel knife, he charged at Zhang Fei's warhorse.

  "Despicable!" Zhang Fei burst into a loud scolding, but Xu Feng's move was a fake one. Taking advantage of the rolling on the ground, he had already picked up a handful of dust in his hand and with a flick of his wrist, Zhang Fei suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes and angrily shouted, "How dare you use such a despicable trick on me!"

  "Grass mud horse, do you think I don't want to fight with you for real?" Xu Feng retorted, unable to bear it any longer. These three people, if not dealt with in an extremely ruthless manner, the 50,000-strong army would thoroughly collapse and fall into chaos. For the greater good, Xu Feng had no choice but to resort to this inferior plan, first stabilizing the morale of the troops before considering anything else. As for himself, he was no match for Liu, Guan, and Zhang in a one-on-one fight; apart from being defeated and humiliated, there was no other outcome.

  A loud cracking sound, Zhang Fei's warhorse, unable to escape its fate, had its front leg caught and chopped off by Xu Feng. With a thud, the horse collapsed to the ground, letting out a pained whinny. Zhang Fei's body shook, and he also fell to the ground.

  "Look at the knife."

  Zhou Cang saw this good opportunity and naturally wouldn't hesitate. The big knife in his hand was raised high, and he fiercely chopped down at Zhang Fei who had fallen to the ground.

  A strong gust of wind came from above, and Zhang Fei instinctively dodged to the side. However, Zhou Cang's large blade still chopped down on Zhang Fei's helmet, making a loud cracking sound as it was knocked off. His hair was disheveled, and Zhang Fei looked like a mad beast, with his hair scattered all over the place, looking utterly wretched.

  "Fire the arrow."

  "Spare my third brother." Before the words had fallen, Guan Yu urged his horse to kill him in front of him, swung up his big knife, and resisted in mid-air, protecting Zhang Fei behind him.

  "Second brother, third brother, retreat quickly!" Seeing that things were going badly, Liu Bei hastily shouted loudly to the two of them.

  With the help of the bow and arrow, the Yellow Turbans were able to assist Liu Bei's three men, although they were brave, but it was difficult for them to achieve much. After all, facing dense arrows like rain, anyone would find it hard to resist. Zhao Yun was able to come in and out seven times among a million Cao troops because Cao Cao had given the order to capture him alive; otherwise, with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, he would definitely not have been able to escape.

  Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had no choice but to retreat, Zhang Fei rushed into the city while turning his head back to glare at Xu Feng "You stinky little brat, have the guts to report your name, one day, I, Zhang Fei, will take your dog head." Zhang Fei's voice was loud and clear, shaking the mountains and rivers. This curse made everyone in the scene hear it, and suddenly, they all turned their eyes towards him.

  "Zhang Fei, in the lower ranks not renamed, sitting without changing surname, Xu Feng is also." Xu Feng did not show weakness either, and loudly retorted. However, what Xu Feng said next completely drove Liu Guan Zhang mad.

  "The imperial court is corrupt and the Han dynasty is in decline. You three, what you have done today has truly delighted me, Xu Feng. With your exceptional skills, you brutally killed the poor Yellow Turbans. Are you willing to be the imperial court's lackeys, using the people's heads as stepping stones for your own promotion and wealth? Your actions towards the people are even more despicable than mine today. Brothers, don't become the imperial court's lackeys! Chase them, kill them!" Xu Feng's voice was loud and clear, his words sharp and powerful, scolding the three men until they were covered in blood, but greatly boosting the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

  At this time, Liu, Guan and Zhang were all stunned for a moment, lost their momentum. The Yellow Turbans are all poor people, everyone understands that Liu Bei is a member of the Han royal family, not to mention that Guan Yu is from a poor background, and Zhang Fei, who has some wealth, also deeply resents the corrupt and incompetent court. Xu Feng's words were like sharp needles that pierced the hearts of the two men, they helplessly sighed and didn't say anything else, urging their horses on, fleeing back to Zhuo County. Liu Bei cast a cold glance at Xu Feng before turning his horse around and escaping into the city.

  "Xu Feng, well done! That was really relieving. We owe this victory to you, otherwise we would have been in disarray and the defenders would have taken advantage of us." Zhou Cang patted his chest, urging his horse to come to Xu Feng's side, praising him excitedly.

  "Heh heh, I just spoke out my mind, Big Head, your injury isn't serious, right?" Xu Feng asked with concern, looking at Zhou Cang's chest stained with bright red blood.

  "It's just a small injury, what's the big deal? Nothing serious, except that our commander was killed. Now that the Yellow Turbans are leaderless, what should we do?" Looking at the dense crowd, Zhou Cang furrowed his brow, seemingly talking to himself and also seeking advice from Xu Feng. Although Xu Feng is currently just a small squad leader, in this battle, he stood out, stabilized the army's formation, dampened Liu Guan Zhang's morale, and preserved the army's foundation. Otherwise, the outcome would be unimaginable. However, even so, more than 20,000 people fled in panic during the chaos. After one battle, excluding those who were injured or escaped, less than half of the troops remained.

  "Let's take down Zhuo County first, and then we can make up for our past mistakes. Even if the Master finds out, he will understand our hard work." Xu Feng said firmly, looking at the nearby Zhuo County city wall.

  "But who will lead these great armies?" Zhou Cang asked in pursuit.

  "This person is far away in the sky, but close at hand, of course, it's you, Da Tou Ling." Looking at Zhou Cang, Xu Feng said with a hint of hope.

  "I, what virtue and ability do I have? How can this be?" Zhou Cang shook his head, hardly daring to believe his own ears. This Xu Feng was truly astonishing in his words, putting so many people under his own leadership, could it really be possible?
