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

Chapter 454 Dian Wei's goal: to regain the heart of the gun
The bright red blood flowing from his armor not only did not weaken Dian Wei's fighting spirit, but instead was like a raging fire, igniting the boiling fighting spirit in his body. Except in the battle with Guan Yu, he had rarely been injured. At this moment, when he was injured by Zhang Xiu, he felt the long-lost pleasure.

"what!"

Dian Wei roared like thunder, shaking the dust around him, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking. At this moment, his eyes were red, and he spun his iron halberd suddenly, bringing a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards Zhang Xiu. His movements were swift and powerful, and each blow contained the power to destroy the world, as if he was going to tear apart all the enemies that stood in his way.

Seeing this, the four court kings all rushed forward with their swords, trying to help Zhang Xiu attack Dian Wei. But Dian Wei was like a dragon in the raging sea, moving between the swords and guns of several people with ease. Every confrontation was precise and deadly, forcing the four court kings to retreat again and again, making it difficult for them to get close.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the confrontation between Cao's army and the Xiongnu cavalry became increasingly fierce. Soldiers from both sides fought bravely and fearlessly, using their flesh and blood to build an indestructible line of defense. In this fierce battle, the contest between Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu and the Four Courtyard Kings undoubtedly became the most impressive center of the battlefield.

Zhang Xiu's Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear danced faster and faster, with the shadows of the spear weaving like a weave, almost blocking Dian Wei's escape route, trying to make Dian Wei unable to escape. However, Dian Wei relied on his amazing fighting will and excellent martial arts to withstand Zhang Xiu's wave after wave of fierce attacks. At the same time, he had to deal with the sudden attack of the Four Courtyard Kings. Dian Wei was already a little overwhelmed at this moment.

Dian Wei, who did not activate his skills Endless Fury and Ancient Evil, was far from strong enough to crush the famous generals and four first-rate generals combined, and the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.

The fight between Cao Zhang and Liu Bao did not last long, and the two separated. The cavalry of both sides were fighting each other. Both of them were commanders of both sides, so the importance of command was naturally greater than the fight between the two.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged the fastest and also killed the most enemies. They came and went like the wind on the battlefield. Although they only had 3,000 people, they exerted greater pressure than 30,000 people. They galloped among the 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry, tying down most of their elite troops, who had to charge with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If they were left alone, an elite force of 3,000 people would make them suffer.

At this moment, Cao Zhang had already entered the formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were highly powerful and far superior to the Xiongnu cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry this time were more disciplined and more powerful than before. Therefore, Cao Zhang personally came to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and charged with them.

Cao Zhang has lived in the military camp since he was a child. He had been to the battlefield in his teenage years, killed people and shed blood. Although he had never read the art of war, he had a clear grasp of the battlefield situation. He commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to change their formations, sometimes dispersing for attacks, sometimes gathering into groups, and flexibly responding to the encirclement and suppression of the Xiongnu cavalry. He walked through the enemy's hinterland as if it were flat ground, and kept harvesting the heads of the Xiongnu cavalry.

On the other hand, as time went by, Dian Wei not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but became more and more courageous. In the constant fighting, Dian Wei felt that the shackles in his body were about to be crossed, and he only needed the final push.

Sweat and blood mixed together, blurring Dian Wei's vision, but the fighting spirit in his heart became stronger, because he finally saw the hope of defeating Guan Yu. This had been his goal for many years, and now it was about to be achieved. How could he fall down at this time?

After being repelled several feet by the five men again, Dian Wei took the opportunity to adjust his breath and held the halberd with both hands again. Facing Zhang Xiu's continued pursuit, Dian Wei swung the iron halberd in his hand violently. Zhang Xiu's Phoenix Nirvana, which had been invincible, was so powerful that he was forced to retreat by Dian Wei at this moment.

The Bainiaochaofeng Spear was shaking continuously. If it was replaced with an ordinary spear, or even a spear of good quality, it would have shattered into pieces at this moment. However, the Bainiaochaofeng Spear only shook for a while and then stopped shaking.

When Zhang Xiu looked up again, Dian Wei had just raised his foot and kicked the King of the West Courtyard away. He then raised his halberd and killed the kings of the other three courtyards. The King of the North Courtyard had his right arm cut off by Dian Wei's halberd, and his combat power was greatly reduced. In this way, the combat power balance between the two sides was broken.

The King of the North Courtyard was too weak to fight anymore, and Zhang Xiu and the other three men joined forces but were unable to suppress Dian Wei. In just a moment, Dian Wei realized that the shackles in his body seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him and getting higher and higher.

At this moment, Dian Wei knew that it would be impossible for him to become a legendary general like Guan Yu through hard work. Although Dian Wei felt uneasy, he also knew that he was on the battlefield and there was no time to be sad about such things. Dian Wei no longer held back and let out a low shout. Then, streams of red air rushed out from his seven orifices and pores, lingering around him. Dian Wei's aura suddenly soared.

This scene stunned Zhang Xiu and his companions. They had never expected that Dian Wei, who had been fighting with them for such a long time, had never used his full strength. In the distance, Liu Bao also saw this scene with a dim look in his eyes. He did not hesitate for a long time. After just a moment, he rushed out with his gun in hand.

In the center of the battlefield, Dian Wei was glowing red, holding his halberd in one hand, looking indifferently at Zhang Xiu and the other three. His scarlet eyes made him look intimidating, as if he was a demon who had just escaped from hell.

Dian Wei looked at Zhang Xiu and sneered.

"Is this all you can do? I really don't know who gave you the title of the Northern Spear King. If I knew about this, I would chop off your head and feed it to the dogs."

Dian Wei raised his halberd and rushed towards Zhang Xiu with red light all over his body. Zhang Xiu was trembling all over when facing Dian Wei's attack. Dian Wei now made Zhang Xiu feel that he could not cope with it.

However, behind Zhang Xiu was the King of the Three Courtyards. He could not and would not retreat at this time. He raised the Bainiao Chaofeng Spear at an angle and faced Dian Wei without hesitation.

The tip of the Chao Niao Chao Feng Spear flashed like a phoenix spreading its wings, and it fought with Dian Wei with endless power. The halberd in Dian Wei's hand danced, bringing up gusts of wind that seemed to be able to tear the air apart.

His figure was like a tiger descending from a mountain, with great momentum, rushing straight towards Zhang Xiu. The two powerful forces collided in the air, stirring up layers of air waves, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment. The two sides were deadlocked for a few breaths, and then Zhang Xiu was knocked away by Dian Wei's blow.

Zhang Xiu flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. The three kings of the three courts who had not been injured joined forces to stop Dian Wei from killing Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu sat up from the ground and felt the numbness in his arms. Zhang Xiu knew that if he continued like this, he would be in great danger.

This attack not only allowed Dian Wei to regain the initiative on the battlefield, but also made Zhang Xiu and the three kings of the court feel fearful. They finally realized the seriousness of the problem. At this time Liu Bao also joined the battlefield. The addition of a famous general reversed the situation again.

Zhang Xiu and the Three Courtyard Kings also stood beside Liu Bao.

Dian Wei held up his halberd and slowly stepped forward. Every step seemed to weigh on the hearts of Zhang Xiu and the others. Even when facing two famous generals, Liu Bao and Zhang Xiu, and three first-class generals, Dian Wei still took the initiative to attack without any fear. After he activated the skills of Endless Fury and Ancient Evil at the same time, there were probably no more than two people in the world who could fight Dian Wei. If there were anyone who could defeat Dian Wei, there would probably be less than one person.

On the battlefield, it was clearly a situation where five people were besieging one person, but in the end, one person forced five people to revolve around him. Liu Bao and his men did not dare to act rashly. Once they did, they might all die here. Therefore, even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they still did not dare to attack Dian Wei.

Dian Wei continued to walk towards the five people step by step, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the air around him, causing ripples.

"Come on, let Grandpa see how capable you are!"

Dian Wei suddenly stopped marching and started running wildly. He swung the halberd in his hand violently, causing a gust of wind that blew up the surrounding dust and grass roots, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

Zhang Xiu's face changed slightly. He could feel the sudden surge of power in Dian Wei, a strength that surpassed any opponent he had ever encountered. Even though he was once the spear king of the north, facing such an opponent, he felt a little nervous, and it also aroused his heart that had not been disturbed for many years.

Only by shooting at the stronger can you become stronger.

This was taught to him by his master Tong Yuan, and he had been abiding by and practicing this philosophy for the first thirty years of his life. This was why he was crowned the Northern Spear King when he was less than thirty years old.

Ever since the Liang Province Incident, when he was forced to flee to the Xiongnu, he never had such thoughts again, let alone such actions. Liu Bao, the only Xiongnu man with similar strength to him, was no match for him. The two later became sworn brothers, and Zhang Xiu also lived a life second only to the emperor in the Xiongnu.

No, to be more precise, he was not second only to Zhang Xiu, because Liu Bao and he were on an equal footing, and he had never used his status as the Wise King of the West to suppress them. Moreover, he recognized Zhang Xiu as his elder brother, and he considered himself his younger brother. For more than ten or twenty years, Zhang Xiu had been living this kind of life.

At this moment, he no longer had the mentality to shoot at the stronger one, but Dian Wei was like a crowbar, prying open his heart and reawakening the long-forgotten gun spirit in his body. Zhang Xiu suddenly looked up at Dian Wei.

His gun heart, which had been extinguished and silent for countless years, now began to burn fiercely. The gun intent bloomed all over his body. Although his aura was far weaker than Dian Wei at this moment, his momentum began to rise steadily. It was a realm that only gun users could understand.

"I haven't fired at a stronger opponent in many years, so my shooting skills are a little rusty. However, after today's battle, I will surely regain the gun spirit I lost."

Zhang Xiu spoke softly, and waved the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear in his hand again. The shadows of the spear were heavy, like the singing of hundreds of birds, the sound was captivating, and the momentum was shaking the sky.

At this moment, Dian Wei had broken through the encirclement of Liu Bao and three other first-rate generals and came in front of Zhang Xiu. The power in his body seemed to have found an outlet. Every swing of his halberd was precise and deadly. Zhang Xiu's spear shadow was impenetrable, and when the spear tip pointed out, although the dangerous force was not great, it was clever. This cleverness made Dian Wei unable to attack Zhang Xiu's defense for a moment.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu relied on the three-meter-long advantage of the Bainiao Chaofeng Spear to keep Dian Wei outside him, preventing Dian Wei from getting close and keeping him outside the attack range of the halberd. Every time Dian Wei took two steps forward, he would take two steps back, always keeping a safe distance from Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was extremely infuriated by Zhang Xiu's behavior. He couldn't vent his strength. He had all the strength but couldn't hit Zhang Xiu. This situation made Dian Wei more and more impatient. Dian Wei's intelligence had been reduced due to the activation of the Ancient Evil. Now, after being provoked by Zhang Xiu, Dian Wei was only a step away from going berserk.

"Humph, you're nothing but this. You don't even dare to fight me. You just run around like a rat. Do you dare to fight me fair and square?!"

Dian Wei sneered, and his halberd suddenly accelerated, like a dragon emerging from the sea, and went straight for Zhang Xiu's throat. Zhang Xiu was not panicked at all. As he retreated violently, his Bainiao Chaofeng Spear turned into points of cold light to block Dian Wei's attack.

At this moment, Dian Wei used his strength to the extreme. His halberd was invincible and he chopped forward. Even if Zhang Xiu shot with his spear, Dian Wei only had this halberd and moved forward courageously.

With a loud "clang" sound, the tip of Zhang Xiu's spear was actually knocked away by Dian Wei's halberd. Then Zhang Xiu used this terrifying force to turn around and hit Dian Wei's abdomen with the butt of the spear. Unlike other spears, the butt of the Bainiao Chaofeng Spear has a hexagonal stone inlaid on it, just like the hammer head of a meteor hammer. It is a very good killing weapon at critical moments, just like now.

It was not until this time that Dian Wei discovered that there was a hammer head like a stone hammer at the end of the spear. He only had time to swing his halberd horizontally to avoid the spear end with the hammer hitting his abdomen. Being hit by such a stone hammer would not be a pleasant experience.

Zhang Xiu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hit Dian Wei with one strike, which might have led to a decisive outcome in the battle. However, Dian Wei's reaction was really incompatible with his huge physique. At this moment, he chopped the butt of Zhang Xiu's spear with his halberd, which not only dissolved Zhang Xiu's offensive, but also made Zhang Xiu's knuckles bloody, making it almost impossible for him to hold the spear.

"What Northern Spear King? He is nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of me, Dian Wei!"

Dian Wei shouted loudly and swung his halberd again. This time, he vowed to break Zhang Xiu's defense line in one fell swoop.

Although Zhang Xiu's palm was injured and blood was coming out from his knuckles, he still swung out his Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear without hesitation. The tip of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear slid and the Phoenix Nirvana Spear Technique was activated again. A phoenix shadow appeared at the tip of the spear. This time, the phoenix shadow was more solid than the previous one and looked like the real thing.
