Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Just when Guan Yu was about to force someone to go, a man stood up.

"Wenyuan, are you sure you want to go?"

"It's confirmed. Jiangdong is just a bunch of rats. It's not worth your effort. Besides, I'll go there and come back quickly. I will definitely be able to catch up with the battle in Jiaozhou."

Seeing that Zhang Liao actually rescued them, they all smiled kindly at him.

"Wenyuan, this time, I can only give you 500 people at most, even the Iron Pagoda. I can't give you one more person."

"It doesn't matter, General, five hundred men are enough."

Guan Yu was quite trusting of Zhang Liao's words. After all, Zhang Liao had fought too many battles where he defeated the larger force with a smaller one. Guan Yu was even curious about how Zhang Liao had won those battles.

Zhang Liao took the Iron Pagoda and sped up his journey, and finally arrived when Sun Quan was about to occupy the entire Xuzhou.

However, what Zhang Liao did not expect was that when Sun Quan saw him, he actually turned around and left, with no intention of staying at all.

Along the way, Zhang Liao and his men were exhausted and had thought it would be a tough battle, but now, it seemed as if they were chasing Sun Quan.

The 60,000-strong army looked very powerful, but due to Sun Quan's hasty retreat, the 60,000-strong army had become a mess.

Sun Quan withdrew from the battle, but it was a pity for the 60,000 troops. Before they could complete their retreat, they were blocked by the Iron Pagoda.

With the help of Zhang Liao, Tiefutu rushed into the crowd and began to harvest fiercely.

It didn't take long for Tiefutu to kill the 60,000-strong army back and forth.

The commander of Bai Ling Wei sent people to protect Sun Quan's evacuation while trying to sort out the chaotic situation. After everyone had finally started to evacuate, they were spotted by Zhang Liao.

By the time the commander reacted, Zhang Liao had already arrived in front of him.

Before the commander could react, his head had already fallen to the ground.

As Zhang Liao pursued the enemy relentlessly, only 40,000 of the 60,000 troops were left. They finally left Xuzhou and returned to Wujun.

Zhang Liao secretly felt regretful upon seeing this. If he had brought more people with him, these Yangzhou soldiers would have no chance of returning to Wujun.

Finally, Zhang Liao stopped in Wujun.

Lu Xun had already learned that Sun Quan had encountered Zhang Liao, so even though he opened the city gates, he waited until the army entered the city before closing the gates in time.

"Young Master, what have you been doing? Didn't I tell you not to send out troops recklessly? We have the last trump card in our hands, and if we lose it, we will have a hard time explaining it."

"Okay, Boyan, what's the point of you saying this now? Now that it has become like this, you should just tell me what we should do."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun smiled helplessly. If he had a way, would he be forced into this state by Zhang Liao?
However, Lu Xun looked at Zhang Liao outside, who only brought 500 cavalrymen, and thought that it might not be impossible for the Yangzhou army to defeat him.

Through previous battles, Lu Xun had already found some of Zhang Liao's weaknesses.

"Young Master, I will bring two thousand cavalrymen to meet Zhang Liao. Young Master, remember, no matter what time it is, do not leave the city to meet the enemy unless the enemy is attacking the city."

When Sun Quan heard that Lu Xun only brought 2,000 cavalry, he hesitated.

He was not worried about Lu Xun's life or death, but was mainly worried about how he would defend the city if Lu Xun died.

"Isn't it a little insufficient to bring only two thousand?"

"Numbers don't determine anything. Also, young master, don't forget what the lord said. Leave all the matters in Wu County to me."

Seeing that Lu Xun actually brought up his own father to threaten him, Sun Quan's resentment towards Lu Xun became even stronger.

Zhang Liao was a little disappointed when he saw how quiet the city was.

After a long journey to provide support, and without even having time to rest, they chased Sun Quan out of Xuzhou.

It’s such a long journey, let alone the Iron Pagoda, even I feel a little tired.

"withdraw!"

Zhang Liao turned around and prepared to leave with the Iron Pagoda.

At this moment, the city gate opened wide.

Lu Xun rushed out with two thousand cavalrymen.

"Zhang Liao, don't run!"

When he saw Lu Xun coming out, Zhang Liao suddenly became excited and immediately rushed over with the Iron Pagoda.

Although the number of people did not make it possible for Zhang Liao to fight to the death, the Iron Pagoda was a heavy cavalry, while those brought by Lu Xun were ordinary cavalry. Even with four times the number, they were no match for the Iron Pagoda.

As soon as the two sides fought, Yangzhou cavalry lost nearly half of its troops.

However, after a long battle, the Iron Pagoda's men and horses were exhausted, and their combat effectiveness was somewhat weakened. It didn't take long for the Iron Pagoda to suffer casualties.

Lu Xun knew that he was no match for Zhang Liao, so he set his sights on the other members of the Iron Pagoda.

For Lu Xun, a famous general, it was relatively easy to kill the Iron Buddha cavalry, but his killing speed was much slower than Zhang Liao's.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around him, Lu Xun had to return to the city again.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao did not pursue and could only turn around and leave.

After watching Zhang Liao and his men leave, Lu Xun counted the number of people.

He discovered that the Iron Pagoda had lost nearly fifty people, and the two thousand cavalrymen he led had lost sixteen thousand.

Such casualties were indeed high, but there were 100,000 men on his side, while Zhang Liao only had 500.

Combining all his speculations, Lu Xun can now be sure that he is clear about Zhang Liao's abilities.

Zhang Liao took all the Iron Pagodas to the nearest county town to rest.

After counting the number of people, Zhang Liao couldn't help but frown.

This time, one-tenth of the Iron Pagoda's personnel were directly lost. Obviously, this was related to Lu Xun.

Are we really going to turn this battle into a protracted one?

No matter what, this is what Zhang Liao doesn't want.

Just as Zhang Liao was considering what to do, a centurion came to him.

"General, the city here is not conducive to our defense. Should we retreat a little further?"

"Not urgent!"

Zhang Liao shook his head and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

If you can't attack the city yourself, then find a way to get them out.

The centurion did not care when he saw that Zhang Liao rejected his idea. After all, he was a general and Zhang Liao led them to attack an enemy formation of 60,000 with only 500 people and only lost dozens of people. Such a record made them admire him.

"Everyone take a rest. We will go to Wujun tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Liao brought the remaining Iron Pagoda men to the outside of the city to challenge.

However, Lu Xun acted as if he didn't hear anything and refused to go out no matter what.

After shouting and cursing for a long time, everyone felt a little thirsty. When they were about to drink some water, Lu Xun rushed out with 1,500 cavalrymen behind him.

Lu Xun calculated the number of people very accurately, and it was always less than five times.

Through this, Zhang Liao was certain that Lu Xun must be aware of his abilities.

The two sides fought for a short time, and Lu Xun finally returned to the city with less than a hundred remaining soldiers.

Zhang Liao led the Iron Pagoda to clean up the bodies of his companions on the battlefield. On the city wall, Lu Xun watched the Iron Pagoda carrying the bodies, and after a simple count, he found that the Iron Pagoda had lost more than 50 people.

During these two days, one hundred of the five hundred Iron Pagodas were lost.

Lu Xun was still feeling lucky for having found Zhang Liao's weakness.

Sun Quan, who was standing by, sneered in a bad mood.

"Bo Yan, didn't you say that we hold father's last trump card? How can you harm father's trump card so casually? Aren't you afraid of father's blame?"

"Sir, I naturally have my own purpose. You just need to watch from the side."

Lu Xun was too lazy to explain anything to Sun Quan.

Hearing Lu Xun's words, Sun Quan's face changed. He snorted coldly and said nothing more, but this time he still held a grudge against Lu Xun.

On the third day, Zhang Liao came to provoke again, and Lu Xun still led 1,500 cavalrymen to fight.

This time, the Iron Pagoda lost more than sixty people.

Lu Xun kept counting the number of Iron Pagoda soldiers, but Zhang Liao seemed not to care and continued to provoke Lu Xun.

Finally three days later.

At the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, Lu Xun reduced Ma Chao's Iron Pagoda troops to only 100 men.

As for Wujun, there are still nearly 60,000 people.

Lu Xun was already planning to besiege Zhang Liao.

He believed that even if Zhang Liao was special and could improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, it was impossible for him to lose when one hundred were fighting against fifty thousand, right?

But Lu Xun waited for a whole day, but Zhang Liao did not appear outside the city.

Looking at Lu Xun on the city wall, looking eagerly expectant, Sun Quan sneered and seized every opportunity to tease Lu Xun.

"Bo Yan, don't wait any longer. Zhang Liao's Iron Pagoda has less than a hundred men left. What are you waiting for here? Are you waiting for them to fall into the tiger's mouth?"

Originally, Sun Quan just wanted to mock Lu Xun, but unexpectedly, he gave Lu Xun a reminder instead.

Yes, Zhang Liao only has less than a hundred people, why is he still waiting here? As long as Zhang Liao is not a fool, he will never come here to die.

Compared to waiting here, it would be better to take the initiative.

Lu Xun calculated the troops in his hands and looked at Sun Quan.

"Young Master, I will lead 50,000 men to destroy Zhang Liao. You will lead the remaining 4,000 men to defend the city. Remember, as long as I don't come back, you must defend this city even if you die."

Sun Quan originally wanted to mock him, but when he saw Lu Xun's serious look, Sun Quan could only nod.

Soon, Lu Xun led a large army and immediately arrived at a high mountain near the county town where Zhang Liao was stationed.

From here you can clearly see the situation inside the military camp in the city.

When they arrived, it was time to light a fire and cook at noon.

Lu Xun observed on the mountain for a long time, but had no intention of attacking.

A deputy general came to Lu Xun's side.

"General, shouldn't we surround them now?"

"Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Lu Xun shook his head. Zhang Liao had been giving him too much of a shock all along. Now that victory was within reach, Lu Xun became even more vigilant.

Lu Xun observed on the mountain for a whole afternoon. Just when the deputy general was about to lose patience and wanted to persuade Lu Xun again, Lu Xun stood up.

"siege."

After hearing this, the deputy general at the side immediately commanded 50,000 troops to surround the entire county.

This time, Lu Xun was determined to trap Zhang Liao to death in the city.

"General, Lu Xun is here."

A centurion came to Zhang Liao's side, his tone was very calm, and he even seemed relieved.

"Finally they are here. I have been waiting for them for a long time. Let your brothers get ready. This time we are going to kill everyone and eat up the Yangzhou army in one fell swoop."

"okay!"

The centurion nodded hastily.

"Zhang Liao, hurry up and get out here. Haven't you been chasing us? This time, let's see whether you are the one chasing us or we are the one chasing you."

Zhang Liao walked up to the city wall and looked at the tens of thousands of troops outside surrounding Lu Xun without any sign of panic.

"Lu Xun, you are so brave that you dare to attack me. Aren't you afraid that I will rush out and eat all your tens of thousands of people?"

"Eat us? Do you have such a big appetite? Don't think I don't know that you only have less than a hundred people now. I don't believe that you can eat my 50,000-man army with just a hundred people."

"One hundred people? Lu Xun, I didn't expect that you also have bad eyesight. This time I will let you see how many people I have."

As Zhang Liao's voice fell, the city gate opened.

Two hundred Iron Pagodas rushed out directly.

But Zhang Liao did not lead these people to fight, but continued to watch from the city wall.

The two hundred Iron Pagodas quickly fought their way out of the situation.

Lu Xun immediately ordered people to fill the hole.

This time, the Iron Pagoda's standing strength far exceeded its previous performance.

Lu Xun didn't think much about it and attributed all the abnormalities to Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao didn't move, which made Lu Xun feel bad.

Two hundred Iron Pagodas surrounded Lu Xun's formation, charging left and right, and soon several cracks appeared in the formation. After they had finally patched up the cracks, new loopholes appeared.

Lu Xun had no choice but to mobilize 5,000 troops from each of the other three city gates, forming an army of 15,000 to fill all the holes.

At this moment, Zhang Liao finally walked down from the city wall.

Finally, Zhang Liao rushed out with more than a hundred Iron Pagodas in front of Lu Xun's shocked gaze.

With the addition of Zhang Liao, more than 300 Iron Pagodas burst out with super strong standing power, the effect of fighting to the death was fully launched, and all the Iron Pagodas possessed the abilities of first-class generals.

Lu Xun's army formation was torn to pieces in an instant.

But Zhang Liao's goal was never to rush out, but to completely devour these tens of thousands of people.

Seeing Zhang Liao coming towards him, Lu Xun turned and ran.

Fifty thousand against three hundred and fifty, if a general like me still needs to fight desperately with the enemy, then he must be a fool.

Seeing that he could not catch up with Lu Xun, Zhang Liao didn't care. He turned around and rushed into the Yangzhou army and started a crazy massacre.

Two hours later, there were less than 200 people left out of the 350 Iron Pagodas.

On Lu Xun's side, the loss was nearly 20,000 people.

Seeing that Tiefutu showed no signs of fatigue and was becoming more and more courageous, Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly ordered a retreat.

However, what Lu Xun did not expect was that Zhang Liao actually began to chase them.

"I'm really giving you face. Turn around and kill me. I want to see how you, with only 200 men, can kill 30,000 of my men." (End of this chapter)
