Chapter 444: Zhang Yide's bloody battle to the end, Guan Yunchang seeks revenge in the starry night
Sure enough, as Xu Chu expected, after Zhang Fei fought for more than fifty rounds with one enemy and two enemies, Fang Cai's fierce and invincible aura really disappeared, and it was difficult for the eight-zhang snake spear to maintain the speed at which Fang Cai came and went like the wind.
"Sting!" Xu Chu's Iron Dao opened Zhang Fei's eight-zhang snake spear, and in a counterattack, Zhang Fei's left thigh was opened.
Zhang Fei stumbled and almost fell. Blood soaked through the robe in an instant.
"When~when~when~" Xu Chu was unforgiving, and launched several fierce attacks one after another, forcing Zhang Fei to collide with him. Huang Zhong's phoenix-billed mandarin duck Dao also took advantage of the situation to spun up, and there were more and more wounds on Zhang Fei's body. Although the protection of the armor will not kill him instantly, the whole person has become a bloody person, and blood is dripping.
"Zhang Yide, if you don't tie your hands again, the gods won't be able to save you!" Seeing this tragedy, Huang Zhong couldn't help but remind Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei laughed: "There are still twenty rounds!" Remember to keep your promises! β
When Xu Chu heard this, he breathed a deep sigh. When cultivating martial arts to their level, they will more or less understand some ways to stimulate their potential. It is generally not used until it is critical, because these are life-saving methods. Today, in order to kill Zhang Fei, Xu Chu decided to show his life-saving mastery: Eighteen Styles of Rage!
If he performed the Eighteenth Violent Style, and he couldn't kill Zhang Fei, Xu Chu decided to risk being punished by Xu Shu and let Zhang Fei go!
Seeing that Xu Chu's momentum suddenly kept rising, he immediately realized what Xu Chu was going to do. Xu Chu's current state is the same as Zhang Fei just now, belonging to a realm of selflessness. In this case, one more Huang Zhong is not much, and one less Huang Zhong is a lot. Huang Zhong silently pushed back three steps and pressed the two of them into formation.
"Ahh Xu Chu roared wildly, his eyes were blood-red, and the iron broadsword turned into a Dao of snow, attacking Zhang Fei like a raging storm. This time, Zhang Fei had no chance of dying, and the Bazhang Snake Spear could only cope with it. But the slightest hesitation is the consequence of falling heads.
The first, second, third,......, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth knives!
Xu Chu's knives were all critical hits, which shocked the blood splattered on the knife edge on Zhang Fei's body, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
"Eighteenth knife, death!"
Xu Chu roared, and the last knife slashed in front of Zhang Fei's faΓ§ade!
With a loud sound of "dang", it was Huang Zhong's phoenix-billed mandarin duck knife that blocked Xu Chu's killing knife!
"Huang Zhong! What are you doing? Xu Chu was furious.
Huang Zhong let out a "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood. Xu Chu's last knife was really domineering. After Huang Zhong took it hard, his blood and qi surged, and he actually suffered internal injuries. Huang Zhong took a deep breath, adjusted his internal breath, and then said, "Leave a whole corpse for Zhang Yide!" β
Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked behind Huang Zhong, only to see Zhang Fei's beard erupting, his eyes wide, but there was no trace of blood on his face. If it weren't for the eight-zhang snake spear on his right hand side on the ground, Zhang Fei would probably have fallen to the ground with a bang.
"This black guy is a man of words! Fought to the last moment, draining the last drop of essence blood! When Xu Chu said this, there was a sense of regret in his words. When the Eighteenth Violent Posture was cast just now, his mind was on the knife, and he didn't notice the change in Zhang Fei at all. He also understood why Huang Zhong did not hesitate to be injured to help Zhang Fei resist Xu Chu's final blow. Leaving a whole corpse for Zhang Fei is mutual respect between military generals.
"Are you willing to surrender, transport Zhang Yide's body back to Shuzhong, and return it to his family?" Huang Zhong turned around and returned to the hundreds of remnants of Jiamengguan who had not yet surrendered.
"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!" Zhang Da took the lead, and was the first to throw away the weapon in his hand, walked in front of Zhang Fei's body, and knelt down in surrender.
"Open the city gate and welcome General Fenwei and Lord Yan into the pass!" Xu Chu put away the big knife and commanded the sergeant to take over the defense of Jiameng Pass. Zhang Fei's funeral affairs were all thrown to Huang Zhong to deal with.
Liu Bei received news from Liu Feng and learned that Xu Shu led Nanyang to the north to attack the Sword Pavilion, and realized that once the Sword Pavilion was lost, Zhang Fei, who was guarding Jiameng Pass, would become a turtle in the urn, and it would be impossible to escape. So after replenishing grain and grass in Chengdu, he personally led the vanguard army of 20,000 to Zitong all night. Hurry up, it's still a step too late. Liu Bei was greeted by Liu Feng and Sun Qian, who were kneeling outside Zitong City, as well as the coffin containing Zhang Fei's body.
Liu Bei was furious and wanted to behead Liu Feng and Sun Gan to investigate the crime of late aid for the two. Xun You, Zhang Song and others persuaded hard, and Liu Bei ordered the sergeant to put the two in prison, and after avenging Zhang Fei's revenge, he would settle the account.
At this time, there were a total of 30,000 troops in Zitong City, and Liu Bei wanted to use these generals to attack the Sword Pavilion directly, but was dissuaded by Xun You.
Liu Bei asked: "Xu Chu killed my brother, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Meng Da, Wang Lei, and Yan Pu are all accomplices!" I want to eat their flesh and destroy their people, so that I can hate them. Why did the military advisor stop me from taking revenge? β
Xun You said: "Our army is newly defeated, and morale is low; The Hanzhong coalition army won a new victory, and the number was no less than 50,000, and there was a sword pavilion moat to rely on. No matter the right time, place and people, our army does not have the upper hand, and the lord should think twice! β
Xun You admonished bitterly, and Zhang Song, another of Liu Bei's strategists, also agreed with Xun You's opinion, thinking that revenge should be done slowly. Liu Bei's rationality in his heart recovered a little, and he was ready to stand still for the time being, and suddenly reported the arrival of Guan Yu, the county guard of Shu County, and Liu Bei hurriedly summoned him to meet him.
It turned out that Guan Yu besieged Jiangzhou for a long time and sent people to Chengdu for help, which coincided with the arrival of the envoy from Jiamengguan. Guan Yu learned of the fact that Zhang Fei was killed by Xu Chu, and cried day and night, his clothes were wet with blood, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "In the past, the three of us were righteous in Taoyuan and swore to live and die together. Now the unfortunate third brother passed away halfway, and I have to enjoy the wealth alone! I met my eldest brother face to face, and I am willing to be the vanguard of the front, hang filial piety to crusade against Xu Chu, capture the rebel thief, and sacrifice the third brother to practice the former alliance! β
After speaking, Guan Yu ordered the deputy generals Liao Hua and Zhao Lei to lead the whole army to withdraw to Chengdu, and he took Zhou Cang, two people and two horses, and rushed to the front line of Zitong with stars and moons.
Guan Yu walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, bowed to the ground, and cried bitterly: "The third brother was killed by Xiaoxiao, why didn't the eldest brother raise troops to take revenge, did he forget the oath of Taoyuan?" β
Liu Bei wept and said: "Many officials admonished me, the army has not arrived, and I dare not act rashly." β
Guan Yu said angrily: "The army came from Chengdu and moved slowly. When the army arrives, the enemy's defense in the Sword Pavilion will also be better. It's better to take advantage of the fact that now, when the Sword Pavilion and Jiameng Pass have not yet been reinforced, wave their troops and attack! Others are afraid of the Nanyang Army, but Guan Yu is not afraid! The eldest brother only needs to give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I am willing to make a military order, not to break the Sword Pavilion, not to kill Xu Chu, and not to turn back! β
"Good! The words of the second brother are exactly what the brother wants! Liu Bei took the case and said, "I'll give you all 20,000 soldiers and horses, and take full charge of the Battle of the Sword Pavilion!" After the Chengdu army arrives, the eldest brother will lead the army to reinforcements! β
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm waiting for my good news in Zitong!" After Guan Yu finished speaking, he ordered the 20,000 foot soldiers given by Liu Bei and entered the Sword Pavilion.
