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

Chapter 453 Dian Wei vs Zhang Xiu, Phoenix Nirvana Spear
However, Cao Cao did not give him the chance to speak. Compared with having an average foreign ally, Dian Wei's promotion to a legendary general was obviously more important. As long as Dian Wei was promoted to a legendary general, it would make no difference to Cao Cao whether he had an ally from the Western Sage King's Court or not.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't dare to fight, just stick your head out and let Grandpa Dian chop it off. I can let these cavalrymen of yours leave without hurting them in the slightest, nor will I do any harm to the people of your Xixian Royal Court."

Dian Wei spread his hands and said with a smile. This move of his was indeed brilliant. Cao Zhang on the side turned his head repeatedly to look at Dian Wei. After all, Dian Wei was a representative of a reckless man before, but now he could actually say such words that would affect the other party's morale, which shocked Cao Zhang.

What Dian Wei said just now was tantamount to telling the enemy Xiongnu soldiers that this war had nothing to do with them and their target was only the Western Wise King. However, most of them, no, it should be said that all of the Xiongnu cavalry could not understand what Dian Wei said.

Those who could understand what Dian Wei said were centurions and captains of a thousand men with some background. They came from wealthy families and had the opportunity to learn Chinese, so Dian Wei's words did not actually have much effect.

"Oh, it's just a little trick."

Liu Bao also lost the desire to continue communicating with Dian Wei and just shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu rode his horse out of the team and came to the formation of the two armies.

"Dian Wei, right? Do you know me, your grandfather?"

Zhang Xiu did not give Dian Wei any face at all. He pointed his gun at Dian Wei with a playful look on his face. Known as the Spear Master of Liang Province, he did not regard Dian Wei as an opponent against whom he could exert his full strength. Even though he already knew that Dian Wei was a powerful opponent, he still did not take Dian Wei seriously.

"Zhang Xiu, huh? What a bullshit spear master! I'm going to chop you into eight pieces today."

Dian Wei naturally knew Zhang Xiu. Before he joined the army and joined Cao Cao's army, Zhang Xiu was already famous in the Han Dynasty. He was known as the Spear Master and even got the title of Spear King in the North. At this moment, Dian Wei became interested in fighting with such a man, so he dismounted and started running wildly.

Zhang Xiu's horse fighting skills and foot fighting skills were both on par. After seeing Dian Wei dismount, Zhang Xiu also dismounted and went to meet Dian Wei.

The two famous generals, one holding a halberd and the other holding a spear, met in the center of the battlefield like two lightning bolts, stirring up a cloud of dust. The gusts of air generated by the collision between the two startled some horses in the front and made them snort. At the signal of Cao Zhang and Liu Bao, the armies of both sides began to retreat to make enough space for these two peerless masters. The air was filled with tension and anticipation.

No matter which side wins this battle, the morale of the winning side will be greatly boosted, and the morale of the soldiers will completely overwhelm the other side. When two armies confront each other, morale is extremely important. Cao Zhang and Liu Bao both know this well.

Both of them put their hands on their weapons. Once Dian Wei or Zhang Xiu showed signs of defeat, they would rush forward to help without hesitation.

The two men on the battlefield were still fighting hard, each side had its own strengths and weaknesses. Dian Wei suddenly shouted loudly, and the first halberd of his skill, the Three Deadly Halberds, slashed out, bringing up a blood-red light, and attacked Zhang Xiu.

"Well done!"

Zhang Xiu let out a low roar, and the tip of his spear was like a dragon, shooting straight at Dian Wei's heart with a sound of breaking wind, trying to break Dian Wei's attack and force Dian Wei to retreat. After all, the spear he used was much longer than the two-handed halberd used by Dian Wei. Even if he stabbed Dian Wei, Dian Wei's halberd might not be able to hit him.

Dian Wei did not dodge or evade, but simply changed the iron halberd in his hand from a vertical chop to a horizontal sweep, using force to break Zhang Xiu's attack.

The moment the weapons collided, there was a deafening roar, which hurt the eardrums of the people around. Zhang Xiu was knocked back by this blow, and his right hand holding the gun was trembling slightly. He looked shocked, as if he was wondering why Dian Wei had such strength.

Zhang Xiu's previous contempt no longer existed at this moment, and was replaced by a kind of solemnity, a solemnity of facing a mortal enemy. In recent years, Zhang Xiu had only felt this feeling in the battle with Liu Bao. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated this Han general whom he met for the first time.

Dian Wei seemed to notice the change in Zhang Xiu. He said nothing but grinned. This smile was more sarcastic than anything Dian Wei could say at this moment.

Zhang Xiu swung his spear again and attacked Dian Wei. Dian Wei was not afraid at all. He raised his halberd and swung the second of his three deadly halberds with greater force than the last time. This time, Zhang Xiu lost the desire to attack and raised his spear to block the attack with great effort. However, Dian Wei's third halberd was immediately swung out and arrived in front of Zhang Xiu in the blink of an eye. Zhang Xiu put away his spear to a distance of one foot in front of him. This distance was the best distance for blocking. Even so, the halberd still chopped Zhang Xiu several feet away.

After Zhang Xiu stopped, he immediately gathered his energy and suppressed the surging energy in his body, so he did not spit out blood on the spot.

"Well, I just told you that I'd cut you into eight pieces. Wasn't that a lie?"

Dian Wei laughed and sneered, holding his halberd and looking at Zhang Xiu with contempt. Zhang Xiu was even more shocked, but Zhang Xiu, who had been honing his skills in the martial arts world for a long time, knew very well that the outcome of most wars had a lot to do with morale. They all wanted to gain the initiative for their troops.

The two fought back and forth, and the battle was hard to determine. Although Dian Wei had the advantage, Zhang Xiu's exquisite spear skills were no pushover. In addition, Zhang Xiu had been immersed in the battlefield for many years and knew very well how to fight against the enemy when at a disadvantage. For a while, neither of them could defeat the other.

Dian Wei is extremely powerful, and every strike is so powerful that it seems to split mountains and rocks; while Zhang Xiu's spear skills are agile and his body movements are erratic, making him as elusive as a ghost. The battle between the two not only tests their martial arts, but also their endurance.

As time went by, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of both men, but the fighting spirit in their eyes became stronger.

"Come, let your grandfather see what you can do."

Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, and his spear skills suddenly became more fierce, and each spear was aimed directly at Dian Wei's vital points. This was the spear skill he learned from Tong Yuan, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Skill, and he also used the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear inherited from Tong Yuan. At this moment, he used it. Every spear shot changed from the previous agility to a combination of agility and power. This spear skill soon made Dian Wei suffer a lot, and he was hit by the tail of Zhang Xiu's spear many times in a row. However, this level of damage, coupled with the obstruction of heavy armor, was like a tickle to Dian Wei, at most it made Dian Wei a little annoyed. Dian Wei immediately began to counterattack, waving the iron halberd tightly, and dissolving Zhang Xiu's offensive one by one.

At this moment, Dian Wei spotted an opening, swung his halberd fiercely, and rushed towards Zhang Xiu with overwhelming force.

Zhang Xiu retreated violently upon seeing this, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, Dian Wei's offensive was like a tide, one halberd after another, forcing Zhang Xiu to retreat step by step.

"You were still shouting just now, why aren't you shouting anymore?"

Dian Wei snorted coldly, and leaped up like a cheetah, pouncing on Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly kicked the ground and flew into the air. The spear in his hand turned into a stream of light and pierced Dian Wei's throat.

Dian Wei was quick-witted and swift-handed. He held his iron halberd horizontally and blocked Zhang Xiu's spear. The two men fought again, sparks flew where their weapons intersected, and there was a harsh sound of metal collision. This time, Dian Wei did not give Zhang Xiu a chance to breathe. He charged at Zhang Xiu with his iron halberd like a dragon.

Although Zhang Xiu was an expert in spearmanship, he gradually felt overwhelmed by Dian Wei's overwhelming attack. He knew in his heart that he was no match for this dark-faced man, and he was still persisting just to maintain morale. Now seeing Dian Wei's crazy attack, Zhang Xiu also began to think of retreating.

After all, his life was his own, and he only had one. Without any hesitation, he suddenly rushed forward, using all his strength to swing the Bainiao Chaofeng Spear. As the tip of the spear slid, a faint shadow of a phoenix appeared. Dian Wei shouted softly, raised his halberd high, and chopped it down fiercely.

The two sides' full-strength collision this time was like a tit-for-tat confrontation. In the eyes of others, the outcome was decided in just a split second. However, only Dian Wei knew that in that attack just now, at the moment of the collision, it seemed as if Zhang Xiu was retreating with the help of his own strength. It was not only his strength, but also Zhang Xiu's own strength. It was this strength that allowed Zhang Xiu to retreat dozens of feet in one step.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, breaking the harsh sound of metal collision on the battlefield.

Liu Bao and Cao Zhang were seen riding their horses and charging forward at the same time, heading towards the battlefield where Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu were fighting. The two had already started fighting before Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu collided with each other. Although Cao Zhang had just been promoted to a famous general, he was naturally strong, so he did not feel much pressure even when dealing with Liu Bao, a famous general who had been famous for a long time. In addition, Cao Zhang also had the bonus from Cao Cao and his military advisors. If they really fought to the end, Cao Zhang might not be Liu Bao's opponent.

The confrontation between Cao Zhang and Liu Bao instantly ignited the flames of war on the battlefield. Dian Wei and Cao Zhang's subordinates engaged in a fierce battle with the generals of the Western Xian King's court.

A large-scale melee also began between Cao's army and the soldiers under the command of King Xixian of the Xiongnu. Cao's army was mainly composed of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, with other cavalry as flanks. They formed an eagle and launched a charge. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like the eagle's beak, rushing into the Xiongnu cavalry.

On the battlefield, the flashing of swords and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Soldiers on both sides tried their best. Although the Xiongnu cavalry of the Xixian King's Court were all elite, they were only elite for the Xiongnu cavalry. Even in front of the ordinary cavalry of the Cao army, they were no different from the reserve, not to mention the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. There was no comparison at all.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but smile when he saw the battle had begun. He himself was no match for Dian Wei, but the Four Court Kings of the Western Wise King's Court were no pushovers. With their help, Zhang Xiu might not be no match for Dian Wei. As the Four Court Kings joined the battlefield, Zhang Xiu rushed towards Dian Wei again and continued to fight with Dian Wei.

Seeing this, Dian Wei's eyes widened and his fighting spirit became stronger. If Dian Wei did not activate his Endless Rage and Ancient Evil skills to deal with Zhang Xiu alone, Dian Wei would feel a little tired. Even if he could defeat Zhang Xiu, it would not be easy. He knew that the gap between himself and Zhang Xiu was not that big. Now there were four top-notch generals joining the battle, and it would be even more difficult for Dian Wei to deal with them.

The waving of the iron halberd brought up gusts of wind, and each of Dian Wei's strikes was precise and deadly. He was also honing his fighting skills, striving to break through in battle and be promoted to a legendary general, because Guan Yu was promoted to a legendary general in the battle with him. He did not want to rely on killing first-rate generals to get promoted, he felt that he was inferior to Guan Yu.

Before this, Dian Wei had always regarded Guan Yu as his opponent, because Guan Yu was the strongest general under Liu Bei, and he was known as the strongest general under Cao Cao. He wanted to defeat Liu Bei for Cao Cao, but he was always suppressed by Guan Yu. After Guan Yu was promoted to a legendary general, Dian Wei was no longer Guan Yu's opponent, but after coming to the Huns this time, he saw his chance to be promoted to a legendary general again.

Therefore, at this juncture, Dian Wei did not choose the method of killing to be promoted to a legendary general, but wanted to be promoted through the tempering of battle like Guan Yu.

Zhang Xiu faced Dian Wei again. Although he knew in his heart that he was no match for him, with the help of the four kings, the outcome of the game between them was still close.

The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear seemed to come alive in Zhang Xiu's hands. The spear shadows were heavy, sometimes like a phoenix spreading its wings, sometimes like a snake coming out of a cave, interweaving with Dian Wei's iron halberd to form a thrilling battle picture.

After the four kings of the four courtyards joined the battlefield, the situation became more complicated. The four of them all used broadswords. When the four of them joined forces, plus Zhang Xiu, the five of them fought against Dian Wei at the same time.

The elite Xiongnu cavalry engaged in a fierce battle with Cao's army. For a time, the battlefield was filled with the roar of war drums, the roars of soldiers from both sides, and the clash of weapons, which resounded through the sky.

Dian Wei was like a god of war in the melee, invincible. Not only did he have to deal with Zhang Xiu's fierce attack, but he also had to keep an eye on the attacks of the four court kings. However, it was precisely because of this pressure that Dian Wei felt a surge of blood in his body at this moment, as if he was about to break through the shackles.

Although Zhang Xiu had the support of the four kings, he still felt powerless facing a powerful general like Dian Wei. He knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Dian Wei, he had to find the flaw and hit him with one blow.

At this moment, Dian Wei swung his halberd with such force that Zhang Xiu's spear was almost knocked out of his hand. Zhang Xiu took advantage of the situation and retreated, thinking secretly.

The next moment, he flashed and turned into a shadow, rushing straight to Dian Wei's flank. This move was exactly the unique skill he had practiced for many years - Phoenix Nirvana, which meant that once this spear was used, danger could be turned into safety, and Nirvana could be reborn.

Faced with this attack, Dian Wei was horrified and quickly dodged sideways, while raising his halberd to block it, but his armor was still cut by the tip of Zhang Xiu's spear, and blood flowed out of the cut, gradually staining the armor red.
