Chapter 51: The Fierce Tiger Sun Jian

  "Hu Wei, listen to orders! Everyone, get your spirits up! No one can be timid! Commander Du has taken good care of you all, with high expectations. This battle, you must show the prestige of our Hu Wei! If anyone is lazy, don't blame my iron spear for being ruthless!" Di Wei shouted sternly beside him.

  "Don't worry, leader! We will surely fight bravely and charge forward with all our might. We absolutely won't let the commander down!" The crowd shouted in unison.

  "Go, then." As soon as Dian Wei's voice fell, the 500 Tiger Guards shouted in unison, "Death without life, the Tiger Guard is mighty!" Swords and knives were drawn from their scabbards, shining brightly in the cold light. With a wave of the command flag, the 500 men charged forward like a sharp blade, with Pei Yuanshao holding his wolf-tooth club tightly behind them. As he passed by Dian Wei's side, a hint of shame flashed across his eyes. Ever since he had recklessly challenged Dian Wei last time, Pei Yuanshao had been filled with regret and secretly made up his mind to practice hard and one day make Dian Wei look at him in a new light.

  "Let's go too." Seeing that everyone except Dian Wei had rushed over, Xu Feng felt a thrill of excitement, gripped his silver spear tightly and charged towards Dian Wei.

  "General, as the commander of the three armies, you can't take risks on the battlefield!" Before Tian Wei could finish speaking, Xu Feng urged his horse forward, wielding his silver spear and charging out. Tian Wei let out a long sigh and hastily followed, knowing that since Xu Feng was determined to fight, he had to protect him with his life, not allowing him to suffer even the slightest harm. Anyone who dared to harm Xu Feng would be killed!

  The government army was in a state of panic, and the Yellow Turbans had already charged forward, five hundred Tiger Guards with swords drawn, dancing wildly in the air. The panicked government troops were met with a wave of slaughter. Pei Yuanshao wielded his wolf-tooth club, charging towards an enemy soldier who had just crawled out of a deep ditch. With a loud "whoosh", the wolf-tooth club wrapped in a fierce gust of wind struck the opponent's head, causing it to split open with a cracking sound. Several nearby soldiers didn't even have time to react before being cut down at the waist by Pei Yuanshao's horizontal sweep. The heavy wolf-tooth club crushed them with a series of wild strikes, and several soldiers were instantly defeated, their legs shattered with a loud crackling sound. Some were killed outright, while others had their legs broken or were smashed into pulp. At this point, those who died were the lucky ones, while those who survived wailed in agony, begging for death to end their suffering.

  Zhang Fei's morale was high, his spirit was fierce, he rode on the war horse, the snake halberd danced wildly in the sky, accompanied by a shrill cry, like a fierce tiger, entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable, killing and challenging all the way, no one could match him, in an instant, he had already killed to the front of Huangfu Song.

  "Huangfu old man, come and surrender." Looking at Huangfu Song who was hiding in the crowd, Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with disdain. The bloody snake spear slowly rose, and with a sudden urge, the war horse let out a long whinny, its voice like a dragon's roar, its tone like a tiger's howl. Huangfu Song almost fell to the ground in fright. A cold light flashed, and Zhang Fei's snake spear shot out like lightning.

  "General, hurry up and leave." Seeing that Huangfu Song was in trouble, someone quickly waved his sword to block the enemy in front of him. Taking this opportunity, Huangfu Song hastily ran back to his own formation.

  "With a 'hiss' sound, Zhang Fei's spear pierced the small general's chest, and the strong inertia made the spear penetrate through his body. Seeing Huangfu Song flee, Zhang Fei became enraged, and with a flick of his wrist, he sent his opponent flying to one side. He then charged forward again, but facing tens of thousands of chaotic government troops, Zhang Fei found it difficult to get past the crowd for the time being. All he could do was grit his teeth and vent his boundless anger mercilessly on these government soldiers."

  Xu Feng didn't show any weakness, after many days of groping and bitter practice, his marksmanship had made some small progress. Although he hadn't received guidance from a superior, Xu Feng relied on his agile physique to integrate the knowledge and skills he had acquired in his past life, barely qualifying him as a third-rate martial general. Charging and killing all along the way, his body was soon covered with bloodstains, dyeing his golden armor crimson red. From afar, he looked like a hellish envoy or a grim reaper, striking fear into people's hearts and making them tremble with terror.

  Dian Wei held a huge iron halberd, closely guarding Xu Feng's side. If anyone dared to block their way, Dian Wei would bravely clear the path, his halberd flying up and down, killing and wounding countless enemy soldiers. Ordinary people couldn't even touch Xu Feng, as several times they tried to attack him but were intercepted by Dian Wei. Therefore, Xu Feng became the only person in the three armies who could launch a fierce attack without needing to defend himself.

  "Dian Wei, get out of the way, I have nothing to do with you." Xu Feng said irritably, pushing away a bandit soldier and complaining to Dian Wei. Having someone protect him was indeed a good thing, but it was absolutely not beneficial for his own growth. Without the test of life and death, how could he grow faster?

  "General, you can beat me to death, but I won't leave. As the commander of the three armies, your safety is more important than anything else. Protecting your safety is my responsibility." Dian Wei shook his head like a rattle drum, refusing to take half a step back even if it meant being beaten to death.

  "Whatever, do as you please." Xu Feng helplessly gave up and stopped paying attention to Dian Wei. Although he was angry in his heart, what he felt more was moved. Everyone knew that Dian Wei was brave and fierce, but his loyalty was even more admirable.

  Facing the fierce attack of the Yellow Turbans, the government troops were frightened and defeated. Some were killed, some were injured, and some fled in all directions, causing chaos. Huangfu Song was helpless and had to lead his army to retreat. As a result, the formation became more chaotic, morale plummeted, and the Yellow Turbans took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce counterattack, chasing and killing for over 20 miles. Of the original 30,000 soldiers under Huangfu Song's command, less than half were left. With the steep cliffs and mountains ahead, Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh to the sky, "Is heaven determined to destroy me, Huangfu Song?"

  "Haha, what a great opportunity! Huangfu Song, where can you escape this time?" Seeing the cliff in front of him, Zhang Fei excitedly shouted and charged forward with his spear again.

  "Kill, charge!" Just then, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance, covering the entire mountain and field, with as many as 20,000 men. Not only was Zhang Fei shocked, but Xu Feng was also stunned. Where did these people come from? Could it be that they were ambushed here beforehand?

  "General Huangfu, don't be alarmed. Sun Jian of Jiangdong is here. Who dares to be presumptuous?" A tall general emerged from the crowd, about thirty years old, over seven feet tall, with a slender waist and broad shoulders, his face chiseled like a knife, with a pair of horizontal eyebrows that seemed to pierce the sky, and a pair of bright eyes that shone like stars. He wore a flying dragon helmet with flames, inlaid with pearls, shining brightly, with a flowing feather on his back, and a red battle robe with golden trim, embroidered with flowers, and a blue silk belt around his waist, studded with pearls and jade, and a pink silk scarf tied around his legs. He wore a pair of pink cloud-patterned boots, with a sword at his side, riding a horse, exuding an aura of majesty and killing intent, truly living up to the reputation of the "Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong".

  "Sun Jian?" Although it's not clear what's going on? Seeing Sun Jian with countless elite soldiers and many good generals behind him, Xu Feng was chasing the enemy out of the city. Worried that continuing to entangle would fall into the enemy's trap, Xu Feng hastily ordered "The rear team becomes the vanguard, maintain formation, Tiger Guard at the back, return to the city." Turning his horse's head, Xu Feng hastily retreated.

  "It's not that easy to leave, my three armies of brave men, follow me and kill!" Sun Jian's mouth curled up slightly, flashing a cold smile, he waved his hand behind him, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers shouted in unison, like fierce tigers descending from the mountains, rushing forward to slaughter.

  Huangfu Song also came back to his senses at this time, seeing Sun Jian coming to reinforce him, he was overjoyed in his heart. He immediately led the remaining soldiers to pursue and catch up.

  "Hu Wei, without my order, no one is allowed to retreat half a step." Seeing Xu Feng safely leave, Dian Wei killed again and shouted loudly at his subordinates.

  "Rest assured, leader, we will fight to the death."
