Chapter 27: The Warrior's Banquet

  As for personal bravery, Gongsun Zan was in the middle to upper ranks among the many brave generals of the Three Kingdoms era. His long spear had drunk the blood of many enemies, and as a result, it had become green with red tints, full of murderous intent. However, in Lü Bu's eyes, he was still an insignificant character.

  With the halberd in hand, I have the world! It was just a simple chop and crash, without moving an inch! Lü Bu had neutralized Gongsun Zan's borrowed momentum from his warhorse. Gongsun Zan was shocked, staring blankly, what kind of monster is this?! His own borrowed force from the warhorse, worth at least a thousand catties, was so easily dissolved!

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, with Gongsun Zan as a shield, Wu Anguo returned to his superior, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, in disarray. He had expected comfort but instead received only a cold glance and indifference, causing his heart to sink to the bottom. A general losing an arm meant something he understood best himself;

  A humble and lowly-born Wu Ankou only wanted to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, but he chose the wrong opponent. The disheartened Wu Ankou retreated, unable to find even a military doctor to help him stop his bleeding. He gazed despairingly at his wrist, where it had been severed cleanly, with blood dripping all the way down. His face grew increasingly pale, a sign of excessive blood loss.

  "Is this how I'm going to die? It's really unfair!", his eyelids grew heavier and Wu Ankou felt his heart almost stop beating;

  "A true warrior dares to face the gory blood and the bleak life! Are you willing to die like this? ", Wu Ankou strongly opened his eyes, the person in front of him was wearing a green robe, with a smile on his face, looking at him, "Do you want to live?"

  He nodded weakly and then fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

  "The medical condition is not good! This wound is prone to infection, sorry!", "Sizzle!——", A smell of roasted meat wafted over the city gate tower of the Allied Forces, Li Yu patted his hand: "Take him back! Be careful and take care of him! Find a military doctor to take another look, must preserve his life!"

  Li Yu saw the predicament of Wu Anguo and sensed an opportunity. Although Wu Anguo had lost one arm, he was still a capable general, and his ability to escape from Lü Bu's clutches was the best proof.

  Although he lost an arm, he still wants to be stronger than ordinary people. In the future, if he studies military books with a sincere heart, he may be able to continue his glorious career!

  He prepared a knife and threw it onto the fiery stove, Li Yu ruthlessly and crudely used a branding iron to stop the bleeding and disinfect for Wu An Guo, ordering his subordinates to carry Wu An Guo back. Perhaps in others' eyes, Wu An Guo was useless, but in Li Yu's eyes, he still had value.

  After handling it well, he hurriedly looked outside, this is the most exciting part, how can he miss it!

  The long spear is similar to the long halberd, but its spearhead is longer than that of the long halberd. It's like a long sword with a finely crafted white wax rod attached to the back, which increases elasticity and toughness. Gongsun Zan's royal envoy had used all the moves of the long spear, including thrusting, blocking, stabbing, and parrying, but still couldn't withstand the wolf-like ferocity of Lü Bu.

  "This is a big fish, the governor of Youzhou and one of the leaders of the eighteen vassals. Killing him would be a great achievement! Lü Bu wouldn't let him go, 'Hah! Come and die!' Lü Bu shouted loudly, his heavy halberd, Fang Tian Hua Ji, smashed towards Gongsun Zan like a hammer!"

  "Whoa!", "Hsss!——", barely holding off Lü Bu's attack, Gongsun Zan spat out a mouthful of blood from the huge impact force, his good horse endured most of the power, "Crack!" A leg broke, the warhorse let out a mournful whinny, wanting to get up and help Gongsun Zan, but it was so powerless, dejected;

  "Second brother, third brother! Help Bogui break the array!", At the time when Gongsun Zan was about to make his move, Liu Bei had already given orders to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He and Gongsun Zan were old friends from the same school days, and now they were still under Gongsun Zan's command, so of course he wanted to help Gongsun Zan out a bit. Liu Bei was also knowledgeable about martial arts, so naturally he knew how formidable Lü Bu was. Gongsun Zan was no match for him, which is why he gave the order at that time;

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after just over a dozen rounds, Gongsun Zan was beaten to a pulp and his life was in danger!

  "Haha! Go to hell!", with a pull of the reins, Red Hare rose up on its hind legs, Lü Bu thrust his halberd forward and stabbed, Gongsun Baigui was about to meet his demise, when suddenly a thunderous shout shook the sky, a horseman rushed out, "You three surnames' slave! Do not be so arrogant! Zhang Fei is here!"

  Only a black stallion was seen, with a rider sitting upright, eight feet tall, with leopard-like head and ringed eyes, swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers, voice like thunder, momentum like a galloping horse! In his hand, an eight-foot-long spear shone with cold light, and in the blink of an eye, he killed.

  Lü Bu had once acknowledged Ding Yuan as his adoptive father, but later killed him. He then acknowledged Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father and added the surname to his original one, making it a triple surname. His reputation was not good and he was despised by people, but no one dared to say it out loud. Zhang Fei's scolding made him suddenly furious, abandoning Guan Yu without care, rushing forward and vowing to behead Zhang Fei!

  People often say that Zhang San's voice is loud enough to scare people to death, just like Xia Hou Jie, the unlucky guy. But what they said also makes sense; Li Yu was shaken by his loud voice on the city gate tower about 300 meters away, and he directly complained: "So loud! How impolite!"

  Lü Bu's martial arts were unparalleled in the world, and now he was fighting with a hint of resentment; The two horses intersected, and the two men clashed hard, understanding each other's strength before making another plan; With a "clang!" sound, Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "You three-surnamed slave! Your strength is really great!"

  He was extremely surprised in his heart, and even his second brother Guan Yu was slightly inferior to him. He didn't expect Lü Bu to be no less than him; Lü Bu was also shocked, this kid's strength was even greater than the fool who used the hammer earlier, he slowly calmed down his anger, anger would make him lose his composure, a master should not lose his rationality when exchanging blows, this point Lü Bu still understood.

  Relaxing his numb arms, the two men reined in their horses and charged again. One was bold and unrestrained, while the other was sometimes hard and unyielding, sometimes cunning and unpredictable. The gleam of spears and the shadow of halberds almost dazzled the eyes of the various lords' titanium alloy dogs.

  "Beat the drums to boost morale!" Yuan shouted loudly, seeing Zhang Fei and Lü Bu fighting fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand. For a moment, the allied army's momentum was like a rainbow, the drumbeats shook the sky, the soldiers cheered in unison, and every single person was stirred up with boiling hot blood;

  The Allied Forces were so powerful, and the Pingzhou Group Army was not to be underestimated. Zhang Liao waved his hand, and instantly the brave Pingzhou border army used their peculiar roar to cheer for Lü Bu, no matter what he had done, they still supported their anti-Xiongnu war god!

  Ten rounds, both sides sharp and unmatched, with each other's edge facing off against each other.

  Twenty meetings will meet good people, regardless of seniority.

  Thirty rounds, both sides separated by the horse barrier attacked each other; this was set up to prevent the Xiliang cavalry from charging, and now it has become a battlefield for two people.

  Seeing that he couldn't take down Zhang Fei after thirty rounds, Lü Bu flipped his halberd and used it to lift up the wooden barrier of the horse enclosure, throwing it at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei let out a loud roar and used his snake spear as a sword, chopping open the wooden barrier with a "ka-cha" sound. But then he saw Lü Bu urging on Red Hare, which was in sync with its master's intentions. With a loud whinny, it exerted its strength and jumped over the barrier that was more than one meter high.

  "Drink!", the halberd flashed like lightning, tearing through the sky and striking Zhang Fei. Unable to dodge, Zhang Fei could only use his snake-shaped spear to resist with all his might. Wuzhao horse was also a rare fine steed, not inferior to Chitu Ma, although it trembled twice and retreated two steps, but quickly stabilized its footing, bearing the weight of Zhang Fei's counterattack against Lü Bu's overwhelming force;

  Lü Bu's ancient bronze face flushed with a hint of red, his hand holding the halberd pressed against Zhang Fei's snake spear as he moved towards him. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, didn't show any expression on his face because it was too dark, like charcoal, except that he was gritting his teeth and looked quite uncomfortable.

  The halberd gradually moved to Zhang Fei's waist and abdomen, Lü Bu's hand turned once, the crescent blade of the halberd slashed towards Zhang Fei. If this hit solidly, Zhang Fei would have his abdomen split open; as a master himself, how could Zhang Fei not defend? In an instant, he flipped the snake spear upside down and used the rod at the end to barely block the crescent blade of the halberd.

  Knowing this move wouldn't work on Lü Bu, he quickly withdrew his halberd and made a horizontal sweep, the two men entwining again.

  After forty rounds, Zhang Fei's strength was insufficient, and his defensive moves gradually increased.

  Fifty rounds have passed, Zhang Fei's spear technique is disorganized and chaotic, already showing signs of defeat!

  Lü Bu suddenly raised his body, drew back his halberd and with a mighty heave, relying on the strength of both arms, lifted again a gate weighing several hundred kilograms. His body arched like a bow, he violently smashed the gate towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei flipped over the snake spear in his hand, quick-eyed and quick-handed, stabbed at the gate, avoiding injury to himself and his steed.

  The wooden stake was inserted deeply into the snake spear by Zhang Fei's great force.

  Lü Bu's plan succeeded, he used the halberd to probe ahead, using the crescent moon branch to hook Zhang Fei's snake spear, and with a sudden burst of force, Zhang Fei, whose hands were sweating and slightly slippery, was caught off guard and had his weapon knocked out of his hand!
