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

Chapter 529: Iron Pagoda is completely destroyed, Zhang Ren is killed
"Suffer to death!"

The archery battalion commander roared, drew his bow and arrow again, and aimed at the Iron Pagoda commander.

This arrow was shot with full of anger and hit the left arm of the Iron Buddha commander again. But this time, the arrow was grabbed by a fist before it could pierce his flesh and blood, and could not move forward at all.

He pulled out the arrow that had shot into his armor, then held it up, facing the direction of the archery camp commander, and crushed the arrow with his palm, then hooked his finger provocatively.

The arrow that shot into his chest had been cut off by him at the part that was exposed outside his armor. He did not pull it out. If he had pulled it out, it would have formed a wound that would bleed profusely, and he would have been even more passive than he was now. Therefore, he could only choose to let the arrow remain on his body to help him temporarily block the wound.

Facing his provocation, the archery camp leader Li Mu fired three arrows again.

Without exception, they were all blocked. With his preparedness, it was not difficult for him to block a few of Li Mu's cold arrows.

However, he also knew in his heart that as long as he did not kill the opponent, the opponent would keep staring at him. In this way, even if he could block the opponent's cold arrows, he would definitely not be able to distract himself to block the frontal attack pouring down on the battlefield.

After thinking it over, he decided to give it a try. He was less than a hundred meters away from the opponent. Under normal circumstances, he could rush over this distance in just a few breaths.

But now the situation is different. Between him and the enemy, within a distance of only a hundred meters, there are densely packed enemy troops.

He looked back and saw that the comrades who were protecting Ma Chao had already retreated far away. Although there were people besieging them, fortunately the pressure was not too great.

Looking back, there was a hint of determination in his eyes. They were now trapped in an encirclement and were doomed to have no chance of returning alive.

"Will you die? Charge with me!"

He suddenly raised his spear and shouted, the iron spear vibrating in his hand. The Iron Pagoda who heard his call had no doubts and followed him in charging. In just a hundred breaths or so, only sixty or so of the one hundred Iron Pagoda were left. However, none of these sixty or so riders hesitated and followed his pace.

After five breaths, they advanced more than twenty meters. Within the twenty-meter distance, there were broken armors, flying limbs, and crushed flesh. Only fifty-one of the sixty-four riders remained.

Fifteen breaths later, another twenty meters, their speed of advancement during these twenty meters was greatly reduced, and the number of enemies killed was also much less. Another sixteen riders were lost.

After fifty breaths, he was only about twenty meters away from Li Mu, but the advance just now not only left only nineteen of his comrades behind him, but also broke his armor. No matter how hard the armor was, it could not withstand the continuous hacking of so many people.

When he was only one step away from Li Mu, there was no comrade still standing behind him. The Hundred Iron Cavalry were completely wiped out, and he was the only one left. The blood had blurred his eyes. Just now, someone hit his helmet with a hammer. Although he was not killed, his head was broken and bleeding. His mind began to solidify. The blood on his head flowed down and passed through his eyes, blurring his vision.

The warhorse under his crotch was gone, and his legs had just been broken by someone, but fortunately the distance between him and Li Mu was within reach.

With his long experience in shooting, he was sure that if he fired from this distance, he would be able to pierce the seemingly weak archer with one shot.

So he used up the last of his strength and drew his gun.

At this time, the blood had completely obscured his vision, making him unable to see anything. He could only judge whether he had hit the target by the touch transmitted back from his hand, but his right arm had lost its intuition and he could not tell whether he had hit the target or not.

He tried hard to open his eyes, but the sticky blood blocked his eyes so tightly that he had no strength to open them.

Tired, too tired, he felt he could no longer bear it and needed to take a nap immediately.

Why did he feel an itch in his chest? He wanted to raise his hand to scratch it, but then he remembered that he seemed to still be wearing armor, so he had to give up.

He must be too tired and hallucinating, otherwise how could there be mosquitoes in such a snowy environment and get into his armor?
It must be an illusion. I need to take a nap. I can only sleep for an hour, no, half an hour. When I wake up, I still have to protect the general.

General, who is the general...?
The last thought in his brain stopped turning, his blood-smeared face drooped weakly, and in the end he still maintained the posture of raising his arm and drawing the gun. Even though the man was dead, the gun did not fall.

Li Mu looked at the tip of the gun, which was only a few inches away from him, with lingering fear, and let out a long sigh. If he had not used all his strength to shoot the arrow through his chest, he would probably have been stabbed to death now.

"Crazy! What a crazy person!"

Li Mu roared in exasperation, then punched out fiercely, knocking down the Iron Buddha commander who was dying but not falling, and then spat fiercely on the ground.

"What the hell, you ruined my good deeds. If it weren't for you, I would have taken Ma Chao back to claim the credit!"

Without the obstruction of the Iron Pagoda, they began to pursue in the direction of Ma Chao's retreat. When they were about to enter Liu Jun's main battlefield, the deputy general of the Cavalry General, the commander of the Sword and Shield Battalion, and the commander of the Archery Battalion retreated unwillingly.

Ma Chao was brought back to their territory safely.

At this moment, there were only three people left in the Iron Pagoda who set out to rescue Ma Chao, and all three were seriously injured and dying. They were among the one hundred people surrounding them. Relying on the bloody fighting of their comrades on the periphery and the support of other comrades, the three of them brought Ma Chao back. Otherwise, he might have really been left on the battlefield.

Without waiting to return to the city for treatment, the three men had already fallen onto their horses.

Liu Qi came up to the three people, felt their breath, and took his fingers away after a long time.

"They died in battle, and the entire Iron Pagoda army was annihilated."

Liu Qi said tragically.

"They all sacrificed their lives to bring General Mengqi back. We must not let them down and must rescue General Mengqi!"

Ma Chao was carried into the city for treatment. Liu Qi paced on the battlefield. Now he hated himself especially for being just a strategist, and not a military general who could ride a horse and wear leather armor, and unable to contribute his own strength.

He clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he stared at the group of people who were slowly retreating on the battlefield. It was they who surrounded and killed the 500 Iron Pagoda soldiers, and attacked more than 1,300 people with other soldiers. Liu Qi memorized the appearance of the three leaders in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that if he failed to kill these three people to avenge more than 1,300 soldiers, then he, Liu Qi, would be unworthy of being a man!
"The dead are gone, the living are alive, we should encourage ourselves to move forward and defeat the enemy!"

Liu Qi roared loudly with all his strength. As Liu Qi roared, the soldiers on the battlefield began their second charge one by one.

At this moment, their morale rose sharply, and they launched the first and largest-scale counterattack against Cao's continuous attack! On the battlefield, the two streams of people collided with each other, engaging in the most brutal fight.

Seeing that Ma Chao was finally safe, Taishi Ci and Zhang He finally felt relieved and began to concentrate on dealing with their enemies. Two famous generals and six quasi-famous generals besieged the two of them. It can be said that their situation was not much better than Ma Chao's previous situation of one against two.

The two were also separated by them and could not join together. They could only fight alone and could not join forces against the enemy, which caused their combat effectiveness to drop slightly.

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the city.

Then a group of riders rushed out of the city and headed towards Zhang He and his men at a very fast speed.

That speed was at least that of a famous general. In a flash, he had already approached the battlefield. Before everyone could react, a spear was picked up from the battlefield by that man and then thrown out. The spear flew out of his hand, drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and then fell straight on the battlefield, making a deafening sound.

A figure followed the spear into the battlefield. He swung his sword and forced back two quasi-famous generals. Then he swung his sword one by one and forced away Le Jin and Yu Jin. He fought against four quasi-famous generals alone.

Only after he and the four men started fighting did Zhang He and Taishi Ci see clearly who was coming.

The man wielding the sword was none other than Pound, who was supposed to be on the western battlefield.

Like Ma Chao, he chose to come here to provide support.

"Ling Ming, you have been promoted to a famous general? Why are you here? If you come here, who in the west can stop Zhang Ren?"

Zhang He asked with some doubt, three times in a row, and at the same time he also asked out the doubts in Taishi Ci's mind.

Pound answered as he brandished his knife and attacked the four men.

"I was lucky enough to get promoted when I fought Zhang Ren. I have killed Zhang Ren, and the rest can be dealt with by my men. I came over here to take a look."

Hearing Pang De calmly say that he had killed Zhang Ren, no one took it too seriously. After all, Zhang Ren's weakness had already spread. Even after being promoted to a famous general, he still couldn't beat anyone and was defeated several times by Meng Huo.

But no one knew that Zhang Ren had been hiding his abilities, hoping to use his outstanding performance at a critical moment to gain an opportunity to serve Cao Cao. Only Pang De witnessed Zhang Ren's full power, but he met Pang De.

Everyone just listened to Pang De's words and felt that killing Zhang Ren was easy. In fact, Pang De was still in danger when fighting with Zhang Ren. If it was not at the last moment, Pang De had a sudden flash of inspiration and remembered the mantra of single breaking double that Zhao Yun had mentioned inadvertently once, which enabled him to successfully solve the problem of Zhang Ren. Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to come here to support.

In the live broadcast room, from Pound's perspective, the video replays to a quarter of an hour ago.

Pang De, who had been promoted to a famous general, was still almost forced into a desperate situation by Zhang Ren's double guns, because the attack of the double guns was too unpredictable, and Pang De's broadsword could not resist it comprehensively.

Unable to resist and not wanting to be hit, Pang De could only keep retreating to ensure that he would not be hurt by Zhang Ren's double guns.

What frightened Pang De the most was that Zhang Ren became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He seemed to be dancing with his double spears, his every move became one with the spears, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

"Hahaha, Pang De, you deserved your death. But what puzzles me is, is my senior brother only this capable? Was he forced away by someone like you and Ma Chao?"

Zhang Ren asked jokingly. A few years ago, Pang De and Ma Chao were just small generals at best. Not to mention the two of them joining forces, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui were added, it would probably be useless. Just look at Pang De's current martial arts, he is not as good as him. However, Zhang Ren heard from his master Tong Yuan that his senior brother Zhang Xiu was a rare genius in a century, and his achievements in spearmanship were far higher than his.

This was what Tong Yuan told Zhang Ren when he was about to master the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear. Zhang Ren only wanted to be the best in spearmanship. Since the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear didn't work, he switched to practicing with two spears. That was why he was able to deceive Liu Zhang with the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear, and even deceived Cao Zhang and Dian Wei, because his Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear was indeed taught by Tong Yuan himself, and was somewhat similar to Zhang Xiu's, but not as good as Zhang Xiu's.

He mentioned this matter now just because he wanted to confirm the kung fu skills of his senior brother whom he had never met.

Pang De snorted coldly without answering. He was racking his brains to think about what Ma Chao and Zhao Yun said when they discussed spear skills at the banquet. Because he used a knife, he did not listen carefully, but he could confirm that Zhao Yun had personally said a formula for defeating two spears with a single spear, but he just couldn't remember it.

Seeing that Pang De was still distracted during the fight with him, Zhang Ren intensified his attack without saying a word. The two sides were fighting like two dragons playing with a pearl, which made Pang De overwhelmed and interrupted his thinking.

"Damn it! What on earth is it? Why can't I remember it?"

Now Pound just wanted to slap himself twice, wondering why he didn't listen carefully at the beginning.

"What are you mumbling about? If you can't remember, go to hell and figure it out slowly!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly, without holding back at all, and launched another round of fierce attack.

After Pang De was shot in the face by Zhang Renyi again, he became furious and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Damn it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I must beat you to death today!"

Pound roared, and the next moment, he felt something suddenly flash through his mind, and then a sentence popped up in his mind without warning.

"If you don't fire with both guns, don't shoot with one gun. If you fire with both guns, shoot with one gun quickly. Be steady, accurate, and ruthless! One hit, two push, three equalize!"

At the same time, Zhao Yun held the chopsticks with both hands and Ma Chao held the chopsticks with one hand, and the scene of the rehearsal of both sides also appeared in Pang De's mind.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Pang De roared excitedly, then held the knife in one hand, as if what he held was not a knife, but a spear.

Seeing Zhang Ren getting closer and closer to him, Pang De did not make any move. He just looked at Zhang Ren quietly. When Zhang Ren came in front of him and pulled out his gun, Pang De attacked and stabbed him with a knife.
