Chapter 6: Zhang Fei Storms the Enemy Camp

  Lü Bu and Guan Yu fought against Zhang Liao for a long time, while Guo Si took advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, preparing to engage in a decisive battle with Zhang Ren!

  At this critical moment, Tian Feng was at a loss for what to do! Tian Feng and Cheng Yuanzhi were also unable to dispatch troops to support Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren on the city tower of Tianshui City! At this critical moment, one person led the army to break through Dong Zhuo's military camp, rushing to the decisive battle between Guo Si and Zhang Ren! The comer was none other than the famous Shu general, Liu Bei's sworn brother, Yan Ren Zhang Fei! It turned out that Zhang Fei had received Li Yu's order, ordering him to advance at all costs! Immediately go to support the battle of Tianshui City! Li Yu guessed that the Battle of Tianshui City would be extremely tragic! At this time, Dong Zhuo must have taken all costs to capture Tianshui City!

  How did Zhang Fei come!

  It's like this. Zhang Fei led the 30,000-strong cavalry army to march for a day and night, and finally arrived at the border of Tianshui City. Zhang Fei saw that outside Tianshui City was surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army, water-tight! Like an iron barrel! General Zhang Fei took a look at the situation and knew that Tianshui City would be in danger soon. He thought to himself, estimating that after breaking through Dong Zhuo's camp, there were only 60-70 miles left to reach the foot of Tianshui City. The day when the three brothers would meet again was getting closer and closer. General Zhang Fei had a fiery temper! At this time, he couldn't wait to rush over, so he didn't even set up camp, and asked his subordinates for suggestions on how to break through the enemy's camp and go to support Tianshui City.

  The words had not been finished, when a man turned around beside him and suggested: "General Zhang Fei, it is still early in the sky. If we rush to the camp now, it will be unfavorable for our army. Moreover, our army has been running for days without rest! It's best to wait until tonight, take this time, order the soldiers to have a full battle meal! Adjust and rest! Then wait until night falls! The three armies will follow General Zhang Fei into the enemy array! Break through Dong Zhuo's allied camp and the army of Tianshui City!" Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Order the three armies to have a full battle meal, take a short rest, but pay attention not to use open fire to let the enemy discover. Let's eat some dry food for now. Tell the three armies that after entering Tianshui City, we will drink and eat meat!" The staff officer bowed his hands and said: "Yes, sir." Others say that Zhang Fei is brave but has no strategy, but in fact, Zhang Fei is also a great general with wisdom and bravery, as can be seen from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

  When the waiting time arrived at night, the moon had just risen. Zhang San couldn't wait any longer. He had already secretly inquired that Dong Zhuo's army was linked to several tens of miles! He feared that Tianshui City would be lost! Decided to rush into the camp immediately!

  Zhang Fei, before arriving at Dong Zhuo's military camp, arranged his 18-foot snake spear gun to replace the military order. The soldiers formed a triangular formation with their spears. General Zhang Fei looked towards Dong Zhuo's camp and shouted loudly: "Tell that old thief Dong Zhuo to prepare for death! My great army has arrived!" Zhang San (Zhang Fei) waved his 18-foot snake spear gun and shouted loudly: "Follow me, charge!" The three thousand iron cavalry from Yi State behind him also shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general to live or die together!" After that, Zhang Fei charged into Dong Zhuo's camp on horseback with his 18-foot snake spear gun.

  At this time, Zhang Fei was no longer in front of the camp to scold the enemy, but rushed into the allied camp! After rushing for ten or so miles and several camps, I heard three cannon shots from within the camp, shaking the sky and earth. The gate of the camp opened wide, with countless flags fluttering in the wind. A group of people and horses burst out, numbering tens of thousands, mostly cavalry! At this time, seeing this army again, they divided into two groups, with embroidered flags held high, and a general emerged from under the flag. Zhang Fei was startled: it turned out that this general was none other than a familiar person, sitting on a red war horse, also a heroic figure, with an aura of invincibility. This man held a large knife in his hand, urging his horse to come to the front line. Zhang San pointed with his spear and said, "You let me escape last time, why didn't you return to Xiliang early and be a good person? Today, you still dare to create chaos with Dong Zhuo! Today, you will not have a life!" The enemy general laughed loudly and said, "Haha! Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide! Today, I must decide the outcome of our battle! You really are someone who doesn't take the road to heaven, but instead comes to hell on your own accord!" Zhang San also laughed loudly and said, "Less nonsense, come forward quickly and decide the outcome of our lives!" The enemy general said, "Today, I met you, Zhang Fei, and I must avenge my two deceased deputy generals. However, I think you are also a famous general, so since you've come, let's fight to the death!" Zhang Fei was originally a hot-tempered person! Hearing this, he became furious, shaking his spear and taking aim at the enemy general. This general was none other than Yan Xing, who had led the Western Liang army against Liu Bei's army outside Xiadu City, and had just suffered a great defeat. Yan Xing was an official who was obsessed with power, and as soon as Dong Zhuo gave him a high-ranking position, he became loyal to Dong Zhuo's army! Later on, Yan Xing also turned against Ma Chao because Cao Cao gave him a noble title! Therefore, Yan Xing's character was problematic.

  Yan Xing and Zhang Fei were sworn enemies, and their encounter was a matter of life and death. The two men clashed in a fierce battle, with Yan Xing wielding his massive knife and Zhang Fei using his long spear to deflect the blows. The fight raged on for thirty rounds, with neither side giving an inch.

  Zhang Fei's anxiety grew as he thought about the impending battle at Tianshui City. He knew that if this fight dragged on, it would spell disaster for him and his troops. Dong Zhuo's army was closing in, and if they were delayed any further, Zhang Fei feared that he and his men would be trapped.

  With renewed determination, Zhang Fei charged forward with increased ferocity, striking Yan Xing's shoulder with a loud "thud". Yan Xing cried out in pain as he fell from his horse, blood gushing from the wound. He was wearing white clothes, which made the bloodstain all the more visible.

  Yan Xing had been wounded before by Li You's spear, and this new injury only added to his misery. As Zhang Fei closed in for the kill, Yan Xing knew he had to retreat. But just as he turned to flee, Zhang Fei shouted after him, "You can't escape me that easily!"

  Yan Xing suddenly darted under a flagpole, but Zhang Fei was hot on his heels. Just as Zhang Fei reached the flagpole, it suddenly toppled over, striking him with its iron rod. Yan Xing had deliberately knocked over the pole to block Zhang Fei's pursuit.

  But Zhang Fei quickly regained his footing and raised his spear to deflect the falling pole. As he did so, Yan Xing saw an opportunity to strike back. He swiftly turned around and aimed a blow at Zhang Fei's chest with his knife.

  Zhang Fei was caught off guard, but he reacted just in time. With a mighty roar, he flung the flagpole aside and counterattacked Yan Xing. The pole struck Yan Xing with great force, sending him tumbling to the ground, spitting blood. It seemed that Yan Xing's fate was sealed – he would not survive this battle.

  Zhang Sanye took advantage of the situation to pull back his spear, ordering his soldiers to charge into the camp immediately. At this time, Zhang San didn't care about Yan Xing's life or death. Moreover, Zhang San felt that since he had been hit by those two flagpoles, Yan Xing must be dead for sure! As Zhang San led his troops in a general charge, he loudly shouted: "Hurray! Your commander Yan Xing is already dead, killed by me, the Yan people's Zhang Fei! You Dong Zhuo soldiers, can you still stop my Iron Cavalry of Yi Province?"

  At this time, Yan Xingyi died, and the Western Liang army under his command was in great chaos! They retreated one after another, turned their backs on each other, and fled in all directions! Some people were still helping Zhang Sanbo to spread the word: "It's over! The commander-in-chief has fallen! Black-faced Yan Wang is coming!" "Hiss——" As the saying goes, a general is the backbone of his soldiers. Now the situation was like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds, and everyone threw down their swords and guns, fleeing for their lives. Zhang Sanbo held his precious horse, the Black Dragon Horse, and his spear, the Eight-Sided Snake Spear, and charged into the enemy ranks. The Black Dragon Horse galloped with its four hooves, chasing after them! Zhang Sanbo knew in his heart that this was not the time to pursue these people. For now, he had to rush through the allied camp to rescue Tianshui City. If they delayed any longer, Tianshui City would be lost, and it would be a disaster. Zhang Sanbo took advantage of the enemy's retreat and rode his horse swiftly, ordering his soldiers not to pursue them too closely, but only to clear a path to rush to Tianshui City. Therefore, most of the Western Liang army, who chose to flee without resistance, survived. But some soldiers resisted stubbornly. Zhang Sanbo swung his Eight-Sided Snake Spear, "slapping" left and right, striking down enemy soldiers, causing them to roll over and die in large numbers. At the same time, he ordered his entire army to wave their flags and shout loudly, advancing together, making the enemy think that Li Yu's army had arrived. Although Liu Bei's army suffered some losses in this battle, they managed to break through the rear camp. This victory was indeed not easy to come by. In another encounter, Zhang Fei used his Eight-Sided Snake Spear to strike Li Su, causing him to fall off his horse and flee with a mouthful of blood! But because Zhang Sanbo did not recognize Li Su, he let him live.

  It all happened in an instant. In the rear account of Dong Zhuo's military camp, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were resting when a soldier came to report that Zhang Fei had suddenly appeared and killed Yan Xing, the general! As soon as Li Ru heard this news, he was shocked. He knew about Yan Xing's martial arts skills, which were not inferior to Lü Bu, but he thought they were on par with Zhang Fei. But in the blink of an eye, Yan Xing had been killed! The rear army was thrown into chaos. Li Su fell off his horse and crashed to the ground. Li Ru quickly ordered the soldiers to rescue Li Su, who saw Li Ru and cried out: "Zhang Fei is invincible, he has already broken through our rear camp for over ten miles and is now heading towards our central army! At this time, Li Ru knew that Lü Bu had been sent to assist in the battle against Guo Si to capture Tianshui City. Dong Zhuo saw that things were not going well and hastily ordered someone to help him up. Then he said to Li Su: "My son-in-law, what can we do now? We have seen Zhang Fei's martial arts skills before, at the Tiger Trap Pass, where he fought against Lü Bu for a long time. Now that my son Lü Bu is not here, who can fight him?" Li Ru said: "General, don't worry, I have a plan to defeat the enemy!" In this situation, it was indeed necessary to have someone like Li Ru. If you couldn't suppress the chaos, wouldn't everything fall apart? The crowd's hearts were slightly calmed. Li Ru knew that Zhang Fei had come with only a small force, so he immediately issued an order, commanding the entire army to give way to Zhang Fei and then pursue him from behind, preparing to annihilate Zhang Fei's troops and the defenders of Tianshui City in one fell swoop!

  Li Ru's heart was also very sad at this time. He thought that hundreds of thousands of troops had been defeated by Li Yu one after another, and today they encountered such a situation, it was really hard to distinguish between victory and defeat. If Li Yu led the army to kill at the critical moment, then who would die in whose hands was still unknown! Now Dong Zhuo's army has already lost, but the most important thing now is to protect Dong Zhuo from breaking out of Tianshui City! Even if Tianshui City is lost, it's not the most important thing at this time! The most important thing right now is to protect Dong Zhuo from breaking out of Li Yu's encirclement and returning to Chang'an! Otherwise, it would be a nightmare!

  Zhang Fei, after winning a round without forgetting his humble beginnings, knew that the city of Tianshui was in imminent danger. He immediately mounted his horse and charged into the enemy camp with his spear for the second time. Although he encountered many Dong Zhuo soldiers, Zhang Fei's trusty 18-foot snake spear made him fearless. With a flick of his wrist, he led the charge into the enemy ranks! His spear was a deadly force, striking true every time, and the Dong Zhuo army crumbled before him like a ball of meat. Zhang Fei struck left and right, killing countless soldiers, his body covered in blood, his dark face now redder than Guan Yu's. Yet he knew that he couldn't stop now, for to do so would be to invite disaster upon himself.

  Killed to, at the time of the black night, Zhang Fei rushed through the enemy formation and saw Guo Si fighting with Zhang Ren! Looking again, Guan Gong and one person (Zhang Liao) fought against Zhang Liao. Without thinking, he immediately led his army into the battle array and fought together with Guo Si's army!

  Kuang Zhuang was shocked when he saw Zhang San come to kill him. What happened next? Please see below!
