Zhang Ping quickly arrived in front of Liu Bei and cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.

Liu Bei glanced outside the door, but he still could not find any trace of Zhang Fei. His eyes darkened and said in a heavy voice, "Zhang Ping!"

"Here!" Zhang Ping cupped his fists once again and quickly turned to leave.

Just then, another sound came from the door, Liu Bei looked out, only to see that a few pieces of wood on the door had already been broken, with the most being four to five more sounds, the entire door would be split into pieces, he grinded his teeth and said: "Yuan Long, let's go!" With that, he pulled the reins and turned the horse around, heading towards the back of the stronghold.

Just as Chen Deng was about to follow them, he suddenly heard familiar sounds of fighting coming from in front of the main door. Amongst them, the loudest voice was actually Zhang Fei's voice.

Liu Bei also heard Zhang Fei's shout, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see that the Bingzhou Army Soldiers who were attacking the door had stopped their movements, and turned to fight the large group that was rushing over. At this time, the white of the fish's belly was already revealed from the east, and it was barely possible to see the scene dozens of steps ahead. Zhang Fei, who had revealed his upper body, spurred his horse and charged forward, the snake spears in his hands flashing continuously, killing until the Bingzhou Army Warriors who were blocking in front of him fell to the ground.

Seeing that, Liu Bei was overjoyed, he originally had high hopes of escaping, but he did not expect Zhang Fei to actually rush back in time to save him! With the help of this courageous third brother, he was confident that he could bring away a large portion of the troops and horses. He was not prepared to leave more than half of the people behind for Lv Bu like he did just now.

Chen Deng cupped his hands, and shouted anxiously: "The time is fleeting, Master, please order for us to rush out of the camp and meet up with the General Zhang!"

"That's right!" Liu Bei nodded his head in agreement, then shouted to Zhang Ping who was not far away, ordering him to order all his men to follow him out.

When the camp's gate was broken down by a few pieces of wood, Lv Bu felt that victory was already in his grasp. As long as he led his men in, Liu Xuande would definitely not be able to stop him. He did not expect that just as the main door was about to be destroyed, Zhang Fei would suddenly rush back and kill more than ten Bingzhou Army soldiers in the blink of an eye. Lv Bu was immediately enraged, and no longer bothered with the main door, and turned towards Zhang Fei with his men.

The red rabbit horse's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei knew that Lv Bu's strength was far greater than his, so he did not dare to directly defend. Instead, he thrust his spear towards Lv Bu's throat;

Naturally, Lv Bu was not willing to die with Zhang Fei, who hated him to the core. With an angry snort, he retracted his hand and deflected Zhang Fei's spear.

Zhang Fei's wrist trembled, the second move still went straight for Lv Bu's throat, without any intent to defend, because he was very clear, if he did not dare to fight with his life, his chance of winning against Lv Bu was not even thirty percent, furthermore, Zhang Liao was rushing over from the back, so he did not have much time left! Only by temporarily delaying Lv Bu and waiting for his brother Liu Bei to come out of the camp would they be able to defeat Lv Bu.

Lv Bu bellowed, he never thought that Zhang Fei would actually use such a shameless method to deal with him, he could only wave his ancient halberd to block the attack once again. He made up his mind that as long as he was given a chance, he would definitely be able to kill this fellow. He did not expect that Zhang Fei would not let him off, after all the following moves, both sides would suffer, forcing Lv Bu to resist and not be able to retaliate. Lv Bu roared angrily again and again, but he had no choice but to block his opponent's consecutive attacks.

In a short period of time, the two of them had already exchanged seven or eight moves, and Zhang Fei actually forced Lv Bu to not even have the chance to retaliate. However, Zhang Fei was very clear in his heart that this desperate strategy was not going to last long.

Lv Bu was an old veteran after all, after all. In his anger, he quickly understood this point, and thus quickly calmed himself down, attempting to find Zhang Fei's weakness to deal with the enemy with one strike.

After Lv Bu gave the order to meet Zhang Fei head-on, most of the Bingzhou Army's soldiers at the entrance quickly turned around to face the enemy, leaving over a thousand people to watch the movements in the camp. When the Bingzhou Army found out that the enemies were showing signs of rushing out, they all held their weapons and approached the gate, prepared to attack them head on the moment the enemies rushed out. However, what they welcomed was not the enemies, but the black mass of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, two to three hundred people were shot to their deaths.

It turned out that Liu Bei had gathered over a thousand archers, and had used his bow to clear the way before opening the door and rushing out. The Bingzhou Army Guards guarding the gate did not carry any shields, thus after three rounds of arrows, only about half of the thousand people remained, the rest all turned around and ran.

Seeing this, Liu Bei nodded his head in satisfaction. He waved his hand and shouted, "Open the door, and follow me!"

Zhang Ping took the lead and rushed out. Liu Bei and Chen Deng followed closely behind, leading a large group of people and rushed towards Lv Bu's back.

Lv Bu was shocked when he heard the bow sounds. He knew Liu Bei very well and knew that he would never take risks, thus, he was sure that Liu Bei would firmly defend the camp, only leaving more than a thousand soldiers at the gates. He never thought that the other party would actually dare to take the initiative to attack him, and even used his bow at such a close distance! Hearing his subordinates that were shot and screaming in succession, Lv Bu was furious and anxious, yet was firmly held back by Zhang Fei, the anger in his heart had already reached its peak.

Just then, Zhang Fei repeated the move and thrusted his spear towards Lv Bu's neck like lightning.

Lv Bu roared, he held his weapon tightly and smashed towards the snake spear that was coming from.

The long and loud clanging sound was like the ringing of a large bell, shaking the ears of those who heard it.

Swoosh! The tip of Zhang Fei's snake spear had been cut open by Zhang Liao earlier, and now, it had been ruthlessly slashed by the blade of the ancient halberd. It finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke apart, flying into the crowd a few dozen meters away and ruthlessly stabbing the back of the head of a unlucky fellow's head.

"Ringeye Man, prepare to die!" Lv Bu heaved a sigh of relief, as he anxiously used his halberd to behead Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's weapon was already damaged, he was no longer able to use a battle style where both parties were heavily injured, he could only raise his snake spear and block.

Another resounding sound of metal clashing could be heard. Zhang Fei felt his arms aching, and a small hole had actually been cut into the hard Damascus Steel Spear.

Lv Bu frowned in shock and shouted, "Eat another of my halberd!" Before she finished her sentence, she thrusted her halberd towards Zhang Fei's throat.

The ancient halberd was very difficult to practice with, but after it was mastered, its power would be immense. One could even say that it contained several different types of weapons. Lv Bu's thrust was exactly the same as his thrust with the long spear. However, the strength and speed of his thrust was far superior to most experts who used long spears.

This move was too fast, so Zhang Fei was not confident that he could block it.

The ancient halberd brought out a sharp sound of wind as it swept past the back of Zhang Fei's head. The small branch of the halberd stabbed into Zhang Fei's helmet, causing sparks to fly.

Lv Bu snorted, he kept his weapon and continued to attack.

"Lv Fengxian, look at the arrows!" Just then, Liu Bei's shout came from behind him, following that, an arrow flew straight at his heart.

Lv Bu sneered, without turning his head to look, he listened to the sound of the arrow piercing through the sky, and with a flip of his hand, he slashed his ancient halberd towards the back, accurately hitting the arrow shaft! The arrow was sliced into two, the arrow shaft gently falling to the ground, borrowing the energy left to fly forward, after hitting Lv Bu's armor, the arrow shaft fell to the ground.

Zhang Fei took the chance and turned his horse, swiftly escaping from Lv Bu's side.

Lv Bu did not take the chance to kill Zhang Fei. Instead, he turned and rushed towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sneered, he raised his right hand high up and waved it downwards.

Just when Lv Bu thought that Liu Bei would give the order to charge forward, he saw a large wave of arrows flying towards him.

"Despicable!" Lv Bu cursed, and had no choice but to stop his horse. His ancient halberd danced so fast that not even a drop of water could trickle through, causing all the arrows aimed at him to fall to the ground.

At this time, the Xuzhou Army soldiers around Lv Bu were fighting with the enemy, they never thought that they would be attacked by their own people, and the casualties were even worse than the Bingzhou Army soldiers. A Xuzhou Army soldier shouted in shock and anger. Throwing away his weapon, he turned around and ran. Immediately, many Xuzhou Army soldiers followed suit.

Liu Bei's mouth revealed a cold smile. In order to deal with Lv Bu, he had painstakingly plotted for a long time, but who would have thought that his plan had been seen through by the other side. In his opinion, there must definitely be someone who secretly worked together with Lv Bu, and the person who was most likely going to do this would be that horse Zhang Fei brought out. As for the person who colluded with Lv Bu, he had no time to investigate. Since he needed to borrow the power of arrows in order to break through, he immediately gave the order to shoot, not caring about whether or not he could harm the lives of these people.

"Retreat!" Taking advantage of the fact that the archers were still attacking, Liu Bei decisively gave the order to retreat, and took the lead to rush towards the direction of Zhang Fei's retreat.

Chen Deng could not bear it anymore and sighed as he spurred his horse to follow along.

Moments later, the archers lost their strength after shooting three arrows. The arrows that were like rain finally came to a stop.

Lv Bu looked up and saw that Liu Bei had long since disappeared. He shouted angrily, "Kill them! "Leave no one alive!" Then, he took the lead and rushed towards the archers in front of him.

The Bingzhou Army soldiers shouted together and followed Lv Bu.
