Chapter 957: Two fierce fights
A few miles away from Shenyang City, Cheng Liang and Dameng, leading an army of 20,000, were rushing on the road.

Cheng Liang looked at the city in the distance, feeling extremely excited.

"For so many years, Big Brother has only let me lead the Divine Tiger Cavalry and serve as his guard. He rarely sends me to be the vanguard on the battlefield. This is the first time I lead a large army to attack a city. Hey, Big Brother, I want to let Big Brother know that although my ability may not be comparable to that of my second, fourth, and fifth brothers, I am more than enough to deal with these bandits."

Thinking of this, he became more excited, patted his horse and accelerated his march.

"Brother Cheng, wait for me... There's going to be a fight ahead, you can't leave Da Meng behind and fight it out by yourself..."

Da Meng also chased after him, shouting.

The army soon arrived at the city of Shenyang. Cheng Liang looked up and saw only a few tattered flags fluttering on the city wall. As for the defenders, there was not a single figure to be seen.

"Bah, I thought Cao Cao was a big shot, but he turned out to be an incompetent. Even I know that Shenyang City is the main road connecting Ancheng and Jingzhou, but he didn't even send a single soldier to guard it. This is what deserves my achievement today."

After that, he turned around and shouted to Dameng, "Da Meng, I'm afraid we won't have a fight today. Let's go into the city and have a good meal first. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Ancheng to fight Cao Cao."

Hearing that there was no fight to be fought, Da Meng's face suddenly became unhappy: "Unhappy, Da Meng is unhappy..."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I promise you will have a good fight. Let's go into the city. I will treat you to some meat."

Cheng Liang patted Da Meng's shoulder. When he heard that there was meat to eat, Da Meng smiled again.

And just behind the city gate, several eyes were staring at Cheng Liang and others.

"General, they are about to enter the city. Shall we take action after they enter the city gate?"

A general whispered to Dian Wei beside him.

"No, absolutely not." Dian Wei spotted Da Meng's figure at a glance, and suddenly became extremely anxious. He immediately rejected the deputy general's proposal.

The deputy general was very puzzled.

"Why? Didn't the lord say that Cheng Liang is a man of courage but no strategy? As long as we leave the city gates wide open and pretend that the city is empty, he will not be suspicious. Once they enter the city, we can ambush them with bows and crossbows and rolling logs from the city walls. We can then attack them from both sides and win the battle."

"Shut up, I said no and it's no!"

Dian Wei looked up at the soldiers hiding on the city wall. The bows, arrows, stones, and rolling logs in their hands were already ready to go. If they really launched a surprise attack, Da Meng would be in great danger.

The reason why he gave up the repeated recruitments of Da Meng, Hua Tuo and Zhao Yun and turned to Cao Cao, a much weaker force, was to one day be able to avenge his brother who was deceived by Liu He. Now, he was asked to kill Da Meng for his lord, but he refused no matter what, even though Cao Cao had valued him very much in the past few years and asked him to swear to be loyal to him with his life.

"Pass the order down, cancel the ambush, tell the brothers to follow me out of the city and fight them head-on."

Dian Wei's military order made the deputy general stand still on the spot.

"General, this... this is probably inappropriate. Once the ambush is launched, the enemy will be defeated. Why do you have to go far away? Besides, this is the lord's..."

"What nonsense!" Dian Wei shouted angrily, "I am the commander-in-chief. You must do whatever I tell you to do. If the lord wants to blame me, I will take full responsibility. Go!"

He looked at Cheng Liang who was rushing towards the city and sneered, "Humph, I am not afraid even if it is Zhu Ye, Guan Yu, or even Liu He himself, let alone a mere Cheng Liang? Even if we fight head-on, I can defeat you."

Cheng Liang saw that he was only two or three hundred steps away from the city gate, but he saw that the gate was only ajar and was not even closed. He did not doubt it at all, but was overjoyed.

"Haha, Cao Cao is really an idiot. Such an important city has become an empty city. Isn't it a good opportunity for me? Brothers, quickly go into the city and take out our beef jerky and pickles. Let's have a good meal tonight and save up enough strength so that we can help General Zhang and General Gao fight Cao tomorrow!"

The beef jerky in Liu He's army is not something that can be eaten at any time. Among the more than 20,000 people under Cheng Liang's command, only the 100 soldiers of the Divine Tiger Cavalry can eat beef jerky every day when they are on the march. The other soldiers can only eat a little bit a day during the real war. Now that we have not yet entered the battle period, Cheng Liang directly ordered that they can eat it, and the 20,000 people are naturally cheering.

But just as they were overjoyed and preparing to have a good meal after entering the city, the half-closed city gate suddenly opened.

"Kill it..."

The shouts and cries of killing that resounded through the sky spread in all directions in an instant. Dian Wei led his troops and rushed out of the city directly.

Cheng Liang's face changed: "Oh no, there is an ambush, hurry up, prepare the whole army for battle!"

Da Meng suddenly looked very happy: "Haha, it's Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, it's me..."

He waved a machete and greeted Dian Wei, not realizing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

Dian Wei's eyes darkened, and he ordered the generals around him: "Don't kill this man, find a chance to capture him alive, I will take him back to see the lord. As for the others..."

He glanced at Cheng Liang and the army behind him and said, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you."

"Yes, sir." Those soldiers were nervous and excited. If they could kill the world-famous third brother of Liu He, they would become famous from then on. It was said that among the five brothers of Liu He, Cheng Liang was the least capable. For Guan Yu and his men, these Cao army generals did not dare to have extravagant hopes, but facing Cheng Liang, they were somewhat confident.

"Kill Cheng Liang, kill Cheng Liang!"

These generals, each leading a team of soldiers, attacked Cheng Liang directly.

Da Meng was stunned: "Da Zhuang, it's me, why did you bring people to beat me? Don't you recognize me?"

Seeing that Dian Wei did not answer, but instead waved his double iron halberds and directly joined the battle, Da Meng was even more surprised.

"Da Meng!" Cheng Liang shouted anxiously, "Haven't you figured it out yet? This guy is no longer your brother. He is now a general of Cao thief. This time he must be here to ambush and kill you and me. If you don't fight back, I'm afraid that guy who is used to drink and eat meat will be chopped off!"

Dian Wei naturally did not want to fight with Dameng, but after receiving his orders, several Cao army generals gradually came to Dameng's side while fighting.

While Da Meng was still unable to react, these generals suddenly attacked, threw ropes directly at him and caught him immediately.

"Da Meng..."

Cheng Liang cried out in surprise, and swept the Tiangang Soul-Chasing Halberd across, forcing back the two Cao army generals who were approaching. Then he rode his horse forward a few steps and cut the rope with a halberd.

"Go to hell..." Cheng Liang shouted angrily, and stabbed the chest of one of the enemy generals with his long spear.

Until now, Da Meng still looked at Dian Wei from afar with an unbelievable look on his face: "Da Zhuang, you... you really want to kill me?"

Dian Wei was very conflicted. He wanted to go forward and talk to Dameng, but in front of the army and the generals, he couldn't say much to Dameng, so as not to affect the morale of the army. "Enemy general, stop talking, dismount and surrender quickly, I can guarantee your survival."

Dian Wei was determined to persuade Da Meng to surrender, and then he would take him to see his lord. With his past merits and Cao Cao's eagerness to help him, he was very sure that he could save Da Meng's life.

However, he was a rough man after all, and his words were not carefully considered. Although his words were well-intentioned, in Da Meng's ears, they confirmed Cheng Liang's statement.

Da Meng showed a painful look on his face: "Da Zhuang... why... why do you want to kill me... why do you want to kill me..."

Guard Cheng Liang was beside Da Meng, shouting, "Da Meng, fight back quickly! Your Da Zhuang has long been a subordinate of Cao thief. He must have received orders from Cao thief to come here to rob and kill you and me. He will not show mercy."

Upon hearing this, Da Meng's eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity: "Cao Cao... Cao Cao... I will kill you!"

He angrily raised the Xuantian Yinguanzhan in his hand, held it high, and chopped it down with all his strength. A general of Cao army didn't even have time to shout before he was chopped in half from head to toe by Da Meng on the spot.

But even so, he seemed unsatisfied, and with red eyes, he rushed towards another enemy general again.

"I will kill... I will chop... You all deserve to die, all of you deserve to die..."

He had only one thought in his mind at this moment, which was to kill his way to the damn Cao Cao and chop him in half alive so as to rescue Da Zhuang from the fire pit.

In such extreme rage, he was naturally very ferocious in his attacks, each time he directly split the enemy general in half. The red and white things flew everywhere, which was extremely horrifying.

"Da Meng, you..." Dian Wei was also shocked when he saw Da Meng's sudden change.

Cheng Liang was delighted: "Haha, okay, Da Meng, let's kill them. We haven't been to the battlefield for a long time. Today we fight side by side again. Let's kill these bandits completely."

"General Da Meng is mighty!" The one hundred Divine Tiger Knights already respected Da Meng very much, and now seeing his great power, they shouted in unison, which boosted the morale of the entire Han army.

However, Da Meng's cruel method of killing frightened the Cao army's soldiers so much that their faces turned pale.

"Is this...is this guy still human?"

"Oh my God... I don't want to fight him..."

"Although death is inevitable on the battlefield, but... but this is too scary..."

Da Meng's fierce attacks greatly damaged the morale of Cao's army. As a result, the Cao's army, which had originally been ambushed and had the upper hand, was gradually reversed by the Han army.

"System prompt: Wang Han has learned a new skill - Intimidation: He kills people cruelly. For every fifty people he kills on the battlefield, he will increase his own military strength by 1 point, reduce the military strength of all enemy generals by 1 point, and shock the enemy's morale. The upper limit of both increase and decrease is 4 points."

"Wang Han's basic military strength is 96 points. The King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and Mount have increased by 5 points in total. Currently, he has killed 1 enemies, which increases his military strength by 1 point. He has also reduced the military strength of all enemy generals by 102 point. His overall military strength is points."

Seeing him display his prowess, Cheng Liang was also encouraged: "Haha, Da Meng, you've been in the spotlight enough, it's time for me to take over."

"System prompt: Cheng Liang's basic command is 80 points, basic force is 97 points, the King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and mount are increased by 5 points in total, triggering the special skill 'More Brave'. The current battle situation is temporarily in our favor, so the command is increased by 4 points, and the force is not increased for the time being. Cheng Liang's current comprehensive force is 102 points, and the comprehensive command is 84 points."

Seeing how brave the two generals were, the Divine Tiger Cavalry and the 20,000 infantrymen were also full of fighting spirit. They roared and started fighting with Cao's army.

Cao's deputy general ran to Dian Wei with an anxious look on his face, and said angrily: "General, what should we do now when we could have easily won this battle? If we fail to live up to our lord's trust, how will you and I explain it?"

Dian Wei's face was gloomy. He didn't want to kill Da Meng, but he also didn't want to let down Cao Cao's trust in him. This put him in a dilemma.

"Da Meng, Da Meng..."

He watched Da Meng killing people wantonly in the army as if he was in an empty space, and his own soldiers were so frightened by his extremely cruel methods of killing that no one dared to step forward to fight him. Although Dian Wei was not as proficient in military tactics as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, he could see that if this continued, he would surely be defeated.

"Lord..."

Dian Wei thought of Cao Cao's trust and kindness in him, and after a moment, he made up his mind.

"Forget it. Even if I have to abandon my friendship with Da Meng today, I will personally take action and capture him."

He immediately abandoned the Han army around him and strode towards Dameng.

Although Da Meng was stupid, his martial arts were pretty good. Even though he wasn't able to keep his eyes and ears open, Dian Wei's heavy footsteps and the sharp aura that was approaching him still made him instinctively alert.

Turning his head, he saw Dian Wei holding two iron halberds and attacking him directly.

Da Meng was filled with grief, disappointment, anger, and many other emotions, all mixed together: "Da Zhuang, you really want to kill me, you really want to kill me..."

Soon, his eyes became fierce and determined: "Okay, if you want to kill me, then Da Meng will kill you first!"

After saying that, Xuantian slashed with silver light, splitting a Cao army general in half from the waist, and continued to chop towards Dian Wei who had already rushed forward without slowing down.

Dian Wei realized that the sword was coming at him with such ferocious force, as powerful as thunder and lightning, that his expression changed slightly. He swung out his two iron halberds and directly blocked the machete.

"clang……"

After the blow, Dian Wei paused, and Da Meng and the tiger mount under his crotch were both knocked back a step.

"Da Meng, I'm sorry..."

Dian Wei shouted, moved forward, jumped high, and chopped towards Da Meng's head with his double iron halberds.

"System prompt: Dian Wei vs. Wang Han. Dian Wei's basic command is 50 points, basic strength is 101 points, weapons and armor are increased by 2 points in total, the special skill 'bravery' is triggered, and strength is increased by 4 points. The special skill 'infantry combat' is triggered, and the current command is infantry combat, so the command and strength are increased by 3 points each. Dian Wei's comprehensive command is 53 points, and the comprehensive strength is 110 points."

"In addition, Dian Wei's overall strength was reduced by 1 point due to the Da Meng's 'Intimidation' skill, and Dian Wei's overall strength was reduced to 109 points."

The two equally tall and strong figures immediately started fighting with each other.

When I was writing yesterday, I forgot that the "Killing God" skill was already Zhang Fei's, so now I revised this chapter and changed Da Meng's skill from Killing God to Intimidation
