Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 193 The Sixteen Riders of Yanyun! (Thanks to the book friend 2024…6105 for the small reward~)

Feel the cold murderous intent brought by the sharp edge of the halberd.

Zhang Fei's snake spear was weakened by the kick from behind by Red Hare, and he had no time to retract it to resist!
In desperation, he could only choose to sacrifice the rook to save the king, and use his thick arms to take the blow!
If it was an ordinary weapon used by an ordinary person, this blow might only injure his bones.

But when Lu Bu swings his Fang Tian Hua Ji, which weighs a hundred pounds, it is enough to break stones and cut through metal!

With a "swish" sound, the halberd blade instantly cut off the left forearm, including the flesh and bones.

It also scratched Zhang Fei's face vertically, leaving a hideous wound that was deeply embedded in the flesh!

“Roar——!!”

Zhang Fei instinctively roared in pain.

The voice, which was already nearly 100 decibels, continued to rise!

Lu Bu, who was closest to him, could not help but put away his weapon and cover his ears with his hands!

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhang Fei endured the severe pain of his forearm being cut off.

With one hand he stabbed down the nearest cavalryman with his spear, seized his horse, and fled desperately in the direction of his own army.

What moved Zhang Fei was that after hearing his painful roar, a team of 18 people came to support him!

It was none other than the famous Eighteen Riders of Yanyun under his command!

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, although each of them has an unknown name.

But the name of this team has left a deep mark in the long river of history.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei single-handedly drove back Cao Cao's thousands of troops at Changbanpo in Dangyang. At that time, he was leading the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun!
These eighteen men were all brave and well-equipped, and they always protected Zhang Fei.

They thought that even if their leader could not defeat Lu Bu, they would have no problem escaping.

So they covered the army's breakout.

But I never expected to suddenly hear the leader's painful wail!

The sound could be heard clearly from a long distance away.

The eighteen riders immediately realized that their leader was in danger and hurried back to provide support.

Zhang Fei's left arm disappeared, blood was still gushing out of the wound, and his black face, which blended into the night, was covered with beads of sweat.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were all filled with righteous indignation!

However, they knew that now was not the time for revenge, so they immediately covered Zhang Fei's breakout!

There were these eighteen riders charging desperately, and there was also the support of one or two thousand soldiers in the front.

Zhang Fei finally led a thousand remaining troops out of the encirclement.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu in the rear actually led 5,000 cavalry to chase him relentlessly!

They chased him all the way to Quyang County without stopping.

In order to resist Lu Bu, the cavalry behind him were killed one after another.

In the end, only a few hundred of the more than a thousand cavalry were left.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's dark face was full of weakness due to excessive blood loss.

He turned around to look at the flaming red rabbit that was getting closer and closer, and whispered to the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun beside him:

"Don't worry about me, take the remaining brothers and retreat quickly. I will cover your retreat!"

One of the Yanqi immediately refused:
"Don't give up hope, Chief. We will escort you to a safe place even if we have to die!

"We are in front of Quyang County. We still have 500 soldiers guarding the city. As long as we enter the city, we can escape!"

Zhang Fei said no more.

Although he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that his two brothers would be heartbroken because of his death.

The Taoyuan oath of "We do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year" is still vivid in our minds!
Zhang Fei could only remain silent, not daring to look back and see more and more of his brothers dying because of his arrogance.

Seeing that the enemy troops in the manor were not in chaos, he should have shot an arrow and then ran away. There was no need to fight the enemy head-on.

After all, they are the enemy's main force, and they are led by Lu Bu himself, so how could they be weak?

Or it is because his stereotype of Lu Bu is that he looks down on him.

But no one would have thought that Lu Bu would be able to intimidate the eighteen princes in front of Hulao Pass!

Now that he controls two states, he often goes into battle, and both his leading troops in battle and his own bravery have been honed.

It must be stronger than before!
Although he had made some progress after being trained by Zhuge Wuhou and traveling around with his elder brother Liu Bei for many years.

But they kept losing battles until the last year when they turned defeat into victory under the leadership of Zhuge Liang.

Naturally, his own progress was far less than that of Lu Bu, who had been conquering battles all the time and winning every time.

If he had known this would be the result, he would never have confronted Lu Bu head-on!
However, this is his character. If he were not a reckless man, he would not be Zhang Yide!

The city ahead was getting closer and closer, and even the soldiers upstairs had seen them and were preparing to open the city gates.

At this moment, a "whoosh" sound of an arrow suddenly came from behind!
Before Zhang Fei had time to turn around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back!
The next moment, his chest suddenly straightened up, and a spiraling metal arrow burst out of his chest!

He was already seriously injured and was hit by this arrow. His face turned pale and he coughed up a mouthful of blood several meters away!
The broken arm that had been bandaged with clothes on the road began to bleed again!

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun saw Zhang Fei being shot by an arrow and immediately shouted in panic:
"General! General...how are you?"

At this moment, Zhang Fei was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Although the arrow did not hit his heart, it still caused a fatal blow to his body!
He knew very well that he was probably destined to die here tonight.

He suddenly reined in his horse, and the eighteen riders of Yanyun around him also stopped.

Without waiting for their persuasion, Zhang Fei shook his broken hand and shouted weakly:
"You guys, hurry into the city! I'll cover your retreat...

"I can't survive anymore, you guys... take your brothers away quickly!
"Tell my two brothers... ask them to avenge me!

"I can only be brothers with them in my next life..."

“General…!!”

The eyes of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were red, and when they wanted to say something, they were glared at by Zhang Fei:
"Hurry up and leave! Do you want me to die here in vain? Hurry up... If you don't leave, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun did not move, but they were afraid that Zhang Fei would really bite his tongue to commit suicide, so they could only look at each other, hesitant.

Zhang Fei understood their intentions and sighed:
"You are all my good brothers...but I made a big mistake today and I am destined to die here.

"You need to take over my burden, continue to serve my elder brother, and avenge me!

"Otherwise, I will die with my eyes wide open... Go!"

Zhang Fei roared finally.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were all in tears, but they could only lead the remaining dozens of cavalrymen across the suspension bridge and into the city.

Only Zhang Fei was standing on horseback, holding a spear, blocking the front of the suspension bridge, facing Lu Bu's army chasing him alone!

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Fei who was standing alone in front of the suspension bridge, and the coldness on his face eased slightly.

He can give up his own hope of living for his subordinates.

Whether as an opponent or as a character from the Three Kingdoms that he liked in his previous life, Lu Bu felt a sense of respect in his heart.

It’s a pity that the battlefield has always been so cruel.

Now that he has become Lu Bu, he is destined to become enemies with many of the Three Kingdoms characters he once liked, and even kill them!
Because war is not a game, you can't just reload a save file and resurrect all the dead characters.

The dead really can't come back to life!
This is the truth that Lu Bu understood in his previous life...

He looked at Zhang Fei, who was panting but still holding on, and said coldly:

"I respect you as a man, if you surrender, I will leave your body intact!

"Otherwise, don't blame me for cutting you into pieces and feeding you to the dogs..."
