When Cao Hong saw how brazen Zhang Fei was, he flew into a rage and led his troops straight out to meet him!
Cao Xiu gritted his teeth and followed.
Only by driving back this ambush could they escape now. Otherwise, once the reinforcements from Deyang County arrived, they would all be buried here!
Seeing this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also hurried to support Zhang Fei, and the two sides instantly plunged into a tangled melee.
The man fighting Liu Bei was Lu Xun. His martial prowess naturally could not match fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, so he could only face Liu Bei, who looked somewhat weaker.
Even so, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.
He had seen just how sharp Liu Bei's swordsmanship was. Liu Bei's only weakness was that he wielded short weapons, while Lu Xun used a spear.
An inch longer, an inch stronger; long weapons always held the advantage.
Lu Xun came from the Lu Clan of Wu Commandery, a scion of a distinguished family, and his martial skills were naturally far from poor. As soon as they exchanged blows, he used his spear's advantage to force Liu Bei back several steps.
Who is this man?
Liu Bei gave Lu Xun a slightly astonished look.
This young officer was quite skilled, yet he had never heard of such a formidable general in the Cao Army.
Moreover, for some reason, the sight of this young officer stirred an intense desire to fight him.
It was as though... he had met his fated rival.
"Then come!"
Liu Bei gathered his wandering thoughts and charged at Lu Xun again with his swords!
And just as the two armies fought fiercely-
Zhang He arrived with the Mo Dao Army.
