Chapter 057: Liu Wu charged alone! Living in the face of death!!
"There must be something strange about Liu Zilie's letter! What on earth does he want to do?"

The battlefield of Xiling was filled with roars and shouts of killing. In the center of Cao's army, Cao Mengde was still full of suspicion about the letter sent by Liu Wu last night.

At this moment, the piece of silk had been circulated among the surrounding counselors and generals. Everyone looked at it over and over again, but everyone had a confused look on their faces. They couldn't figure out what Liu Wu was trying to say.

"Perhaps he deliberately used this letter to confuse the Prime Minister?"

"Today's army will surely capture Xiling with a fierce attack. What's the use of him disturbing the Prime Minister's mind?"

"I think it seems that Liu Zilie will be defeated today, so he is looking for a good future for his generals."

"Impossible. This man would rather die than surrender. He must hate the Prime Minister deeply. How could he be willing to let the Prime Minister get these two generals so easily? There must be a conspiracy!"

"Xu Chu, what do you think?"

"I can't read!"

The counselors and generals discussed it for a while, but no conclusion was reached. No one could guess what Liu Zilie was trying to do.

"The Prime Minister is too persistent." Cheng Yu rode his horse out of the crowd and came to Cao Cao: "The situation now depends on the Prime Minister, not Xiling. If the Prime Minister really wants to know what Liu Zilie wants to do, you might as well go and ask him in person after the city is captured."

As Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Mengde, who had been frowning, suddenly smiled: "Zhongde is right. It doesn't matter what Liu Zilie wants to do."

He could only wait for Xiling City to fall and Liu Zilie to be captured and brought to his side. By then he would be unable to do anything.

Prime Minister Cao casually threw the piece of snow-white silk with Liu Wuxin written on it into the dust: "No matter what, Xiling must be conquered today, and Liu Zilie must die!"

……

"Zi Lie, wait a minute!"

"Lord!"

Liu Wu was about to ride his horse to charge directly at Cao's army when he suddenly heard two familiar shouts behind him. Liu Wu turned around and looked.

Boom! ~
I saw two riders galloping from behind. They were Wei Yan and Gao Shun, each with a group of soldiers and horses following them.

Xilulu! ~
The two men reined in their horses and stood in front of Liu Wu.

Wei Yan grinned and said, "Zi Lie, you and I are brothers who have sworn an oath of blood. You want to do something big today, so how can I not lend you a helping hand?"

As he spoke, Wei Yan's expression became solemn: "I killed Han Xuan and offered Changsha to Liu Wu. Later, I abandoned Liu Bei and left Gong'an because Zilie wanted to leave, so I led the troops to follow him..."

"Now that Zilie wants to do something big, how can he leave me, Wei Wenchang, alone? The four thousand soldiers under my command are just what Zilie needs today."

Gao Shun at the side said in a low voice: "Since the death of Marquis Lü Wen, I have served my lord as my master. Now that my lord is fighting Cao Cao alone, how can Gao Shun just sit back and watch?"

"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. I have two thousand cavalrymen in the Xianzhen Camp. Today I will send my lord off!"

Although Liu Wu had prepared a retreat for the two generals, the two generals had already been tied to Liu Wu. How could they really abandon Liu Wu in order to save their lives?
Besides, the two of them already knew what Liu Wu was going to do today. How could they miss such an exciting and enjoyable event?

The two men had made up their minds, and Liu Wu had no time to waste words: "In this case, I would like to ask the two generals to help me today!"

……

boom! ~
Outside Xiling City, Cao's army rushed towards Xiling City like a tide.

At the same time, a troop of soldiers rushed out from Xiling City and rushed towards Cao's army. It was Wei Yan and his 4,000 soldiers!

The white land of Xiling was split into two halves by the two armies. Looking from the sky, it looked like two huge waves colliding head-on.

Boom! ~
The snow that fell on the ground was shaking, and there seemed to be thunder wandering under the earth, making a dull sound!
The two sides approached each other rapidly, and the distance between them kept shortening.

Both sides could even see each other's faintly red eyes.

You can even see the white air coming out of the other person's mouth and nose.

boom! ~
Finally, the soldiers from both sides who were at the forefront collided violently!
"kill!"

"Cut off the heads of these thieves and their dogs!"

"There are only a few thousand of them, eat them!"

"Damn Xiling soldiers! Die!"

For a moment, the shouts of killing from both sides were deafening, and the cold sharp blades pierced into each other's necks and chests.

Almost in an instant, more than ten corpses from both sides fell in the snow at the same time. The steaming red blood spilled on the white snow, looking extremely beautiful and enchanting.

"kill!"

Wei Yan held his spear and rode his horse, leading his personal guards to fight in the front. He picked up the corpses of Cao's army one by one, and the sharp blade of his spear stabbed into the vulnerable parts of Cao's army again and again, and blood splattered his armor red.

Instantly, the sounds of swords and guns clashing, blades piercing flesh, and screams and wails mixed together, resounding throughout the battlefield...

……

At the center of Cao's army, under the canopy chariot, Cao Cao stood up and looked towards the left wing, but saw chaos and confusion, with the enemy and our side engaged.

Cao Cao frowned and asked the generals around him, "Who under Liu Zilie's command is leading the army fighting against the left wing?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, this man is the traitor who betrayed his master in Jingxiang back then, Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang!" The one who replied was Wen Pin, because he and Wei Yan were very familiar with each other.

"Wei Yan? One of the two generals Liu Zilie wants to give me?" Cao Cao was slightly startled, and immediately became interested: "I want to see how capable he is..."

……

"kill!"

The soldiers on the left wing of Cao's army roared loudly and stabbed their spears, swords and knives into the bodies of the Xiling soldiers in front of them. Immediately, a large number of Xiling soldiers' bodies fell on the snow.

Several Xiling soldiers were not willing to be outdone. They raised their swords and spears and stabbed the chests of the two Cao soldiers on the opposite side. Before they could pull out their weapons, their heads had already been chopped off by the enemy!
The two sides had already killed each other, and it was difficult to tell them apart for a while...

Soon, the situation on the battlefield changed.

The soldiers of Xiling began to retreat little by little. They seemed to have no intention of fighting with Cao's army and seemed to be frightened by Cao's army.

The Xiling Army's intention to retreat was quickly discovered by Cao's Army:

"No, they can't hold on any longer!"

"Push over! Press over!"

Poof! ~
Wei Yan stabbed a Cao army soldier in the throat with a spear, turned his head and looked around, watching the left wing approaching and suppressing him impatiently. He smiled, the fish has taken the bait!

Wei Yan did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Retreat!"

After a while, the Xiling soldiers, who had not been fighting with the left wing of Cao's army for long, seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

This army of thousands of Xiling soldiers actually began to separate from the left wing. They wanted to retreat!
Wow! ~
Finally, the army was really defeated. They retreated quickly, not even taking care of the most basic defense.

"Failed!"

"They lost!"

"Catch up and succeed!"

boom! ~
In an instant, the morale of the left wing of Cao's army was greatly boosted, and the entire left wing suddenly chased after the defeated and retreating army. The minds of the Cao's soldiers on the left wing were full of heads and military achievements.

However, no one realized that as the entire left wing moved eastward, a gap had appeared between the central army and the left wing, which had been tightly guarded.

As the gap grew larger, more and more of the left side of the entire central army was exposed...

……

"This Wei Yan is nothing special." Cao Cao, who was sitting on the chariot, watched Wei Yan lead his troops to flee and immediately lost interest: "It's only been a short while since we started fighting with the left wing of our army and he's already defeated? He simply collapsed at the first blow!"

"Liu Zilie told me to take in both Wei Yan and Gao Shun. Gao Shun is fine, but why would I want a mediocre general like Wei Yan?"

Wen Pin looked at the growing gap between the left wing and the central army, and suddenly felt uneasy: "Prime Minister, is the left wing army too far away from the central army? If at this time..."

"Zhongye is worrying too much." Cao Cao waved his sleeves nonchalantly, "There are not many troops left in Xiling City. Besides, the central army has more than 10,000 troops. Even if it is separated from the left wing, what is there to worry about?"

……

The north gate of Xiling City.

"Great! General Wei is done!"

Looking at the left wing led away by Wei Yan, and the growing gap between the left wing and the central army, Gao Shun took a deep breath and looked at Liu Wu beside him. Liu Wu just nodded slightly.

Gao Shun no longer hesitated and swung the spear in his hand forward: "Follow me!"

Two thousand cavalrymen began to move, their hooves flying, and they rushed towards the gap between the left wing and the center army.

Boom! ~
In the midst of the wind and snow, the ground of Xiling was shaking. The two thousand cavalrymen of the Xianzhen Camp rushed towards the huge gap between Cao's left wing and the center army like a gust of wind.

The two thousand cavalrymen are getting faster and faster!
Stepping on the wind and snow, his momentum was like thunder! In just a moment, he inserted into the gap between the left wing and the center army!

The soldiers in the central army were caught off guard:

"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from?"

"They are coming for the central army."

"Not good! The Prime Minister is behind the central army!"

"Block! Block!"

"How can we not let them get into the formation?"

The Cao army soldiers were furious, but it was too late.

The two thousand cavalrymen, as swift as the wind, suddenly rushed diagonally towards the center of the army...

boom! ~
The two armies met, and two thousand cavalrymen suddenly attacked the central army!
The two thousand cavalrymen of the Xianzhen Camp, using the power of horses, were like red-hot ox-ear knives stabbing fiercely into the clotted cold mutton fat!

At this moment, a large number of soldiers on the outermost layer of the central army fell down howling in agony. A large number of soldiers were directly knocked away by the impact of the cavalry, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Two thousand cavalrymen tore open a gap in the center of the army and cut into the center diagonally!

In an instant, they were unstoppable and invincible!
The central army was in chaos...

Cao Cao stood up slowly under the banner at the rear of the central army. He looked at the cavalry that suddenly rushed out from the front, his face gloomy: "Is this the reason Liu Zilie wrote that letter to me last night?"

Wen Pin looked at the cavalry that had broken into the central army and suddenly felt a shudder of fear, as if he had encountered a natural enemy: "Prime Minister! This cavalry is coming in the wrong direction. Prime Minister, you should retreat a little further."

"Ridiculous!" Cao Cao shouted in a low voice: "If the 10,000 soldiers in the central army can't stop this cavalry, won't I, Cao Mengde, be laughed at by the world?"

"Back off. I want to see how long this cavalry can hold out."

……

"kill!"

The cavalry kept on marching, digging deep into the center of the army and towards the location of the banner. Countless corpses of Cao's army were trampled under their iron hooves. At the same time, the cavalry at the front also kept falling down...

Cao's army gathered like rolling waves, but was torn apart in an instant by the charging cavalry of the Xianzhen Camp like a thin piece of silk.

The cavalrymen who broke into the enemy formation raised their weapons high and chopped left and right, just like harvesting wheat in autumn. Large numbers of Cao's army fell wailing in the formation.

The snow in the sky was falling heavier and heavier. The snow was white, but when it fell into the central army, it turned scarlet!
Boom! ~
The heavy sound of horse hooves continued to move forward.

Advance!

Advance again!
The big banner ahead was becoming clearer and clearer, but their momentum of advancement finally began to weaken. The advance became slower and slower, and the casualties of the vanguard cavalry increased. However, the Cao army ahead was still as thick as a city wall.

"Their momentum has been lost! They can't move forward!"

"Trap them!"

More and more soldiers gathered around them, like a parted tide ready to swallow up the two thousand cavalrymen again. Cavalrymen began to fall off their horses one after another...

Xilulu! ~
"If you are determined to break into the enemy's formation, you will die. Kill!" Suddenly, a rider with a gun jumped out from the cavalry formation. It was Gao Shun.

Gao Shun rushed to the front of the cavalry, as if he had replaced the arrowhead with a new one. He charged forward, the spear in his hand whistling, and more and more Cao soldiers who were blocking the way fell in front of his horse.

The originally weakened cavalry seemed to regain strength, and a fierce momentum of advancing without retreat suddenly burst out!
"We are determined to break into the enemy's formation and fight to the death!" The roar of the cavalrymen who broke into the enemy's formation rang out.

Boom! ~
The cavalry, which had slowed down, started galloping again, their hooves galloping, and the vanguard cavalry suddenly charged towards the center of the army again.

Just like cutting meat, the Cao army soldiers blocking the front were cut off layer by layer by this cavalry!

Blood splattered everywhere and horses were trampled into mud.

The entire cavalry dug deeper and deeper, and there was almost no intact body of Cao's soldiers around them.

The blood and flesh paste were buried deep into the earth along with the cold snowflakes. This battlefield will surely be fertile and full of lush flowers and plants next year.

Gao Shun had no time to see how many Cao soldiers had died at the hands of his spear. He just kept waving the spear in his hand. He had only one thought in mind, to lead the cavalry to penetrate deep into the center of the army and get under the big banner!
But the Cao army soldiers in front of him were so dense and seemed endless that his arm holding the gun finally became weak.

"Whoosh!"

Gao Shun gasped for breath. He knew he couldn't dig any harder...

My lord, let me give you a last walk!
Gao Shun roared, "Throw!"

In an instant, nearly a hundred riders behind Gao Shun raised their spears high in the air and threw them forward with all their might...

Woo! ~
In midair, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and nearly a hundred spears shot up into the sky! The spear blades, like a dense forest, flashed with a cold light, and rushed to the top of Cao Jun's head with a whistle.

"what!"

At that moment, the shrill wailing sound shook the sky, and the sharp spears pierced the chests and abdomens of a large number of Cao's soldiers in front! The densely packed Cao's soldiers fell to the ground like weeds blown by the strong wind.

The Cao army that was originally piled up in front suddenly left a large open space!
Xilulu! ~
Just at this moment, an iron man on an iron horse, holding a painted halberd, rushed out from the enemy's formation!

This familiar figure instantly made all Cao's troops shudder:

"It's him, the Xiling Guardian!"

"Oh no! He's heading for the Prime Minister's banner!"

"Stop him here! You must stop him here!"

No one in the Cao army under Xiling City could forget this figure, and no one could forget how brave this figure was...

Broken-arm Wen Pin!

Capture Cao Ren alive!

Defeat Xu Chu in nine rounds!
One man and one horse scared away more than thirty generals in Cao's camp!

He even almost single-handedly prevented Xiling City from being destroyed several times.

They simply couldn't imagine what would happen if this person really got under Prime Minister Cao's banner...

The Cao army soldiers around him rushed forward desperately and tried to stop Liu Wu.

Liu Wu swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji vigorously, and with one strike, several bodies of Cao's soldiers flew out to both sides, breaking the bones and tendons of his comrades beside him!
Wherever the iron men and iron horses went, they were like cutting through waves and killing through the numerous Cao troops.

Liu Wu stared at the big banner in the distance with his bright eyes. He urged the iron horse under his crotch and galloped towards the banner in the heavy snow!

……

Where the central army's banner is located,
Everyone saw the halberd.

Everyone saw the figure of the iron man and iron horse.

Liu Zilie!
It’s Liu Zilie who’s coming to kill us!
On the canopy carriage, the calm and casual look on Cao Mengde's face had long disappeared. He stared at the figure, his whole body tense.

Wen Ping's face turned pale, and he finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

Hot sweat oozed from Xu Chu's forehead. He held a big knife in his hand and stood guard in front of Cao Cao's chariot, not caring that he could only block Liu Zilie's nine attacks.

The other generals all had a changed look:

"That's Liu Zilie!"

"He, why is he here to kill me?!"

"Quick! Form a formation! Protect the Prime Minister!"
