Of course, the officials did not need to choose because someone had already helped them choose.
More than a hundred elite cavalry rode under the cover of the night and headed straight for the Western Liang Army's main camp.
By the time the first batch of patrolling soldiers discovered something, Zhang Wu's troops were less than a mile away from Dong Zhuo.
A hundred people lit a torch and threw it at the Western Liang army's tent. The fire spread instantly with the help of the cloth.
"Welcome the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo!" After Zhang Wu shouted, the knights behind him also roared with all their might.
"Welcome the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo!"
"Welcome the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo!"
Zhang Wu took the lead. Wherever he passed, there were soldiers and armor blocking his path. He waved his spear and cut it in half, causing intestines and internal organs to flow out.
In the night, the soldiers of the Western Liang Army could not tell the number of people attacking the camp, and it was a mess.
In front of the tent, Dong Zhuo put down the food in his hands and stood up with a dark face."Dammit, what a dammit. Where are Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji?”
The two of them responded and knelt on one knee."Prime Minister."
"I've organized soldiers to counterattack. A few clowns dare to behave atrociously in front of me.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Ji had just received the command when a young general rode out from behind him and headed straight for Zhang Wu.
Hu Zhen had never seen this person before and was a little confused. He asked Zhang Ji,"This is a person."
"This person is my nephew, Zhang Xiu. In his early years, he studied under the spear master, Tong Yuan.”
At this moment, Zhang Wusha's interest was piqued when he suddenly saw a general blocking in front of him with his spear."General Lai, give me your name."
"Mighty Zhang Xiu! Thief, die!"
Zhang Wu smiled." We're all people trying to make a living in troubled times. What's an official and what's a thief?"”
Zhang Xiu raised his spear to stab at him. Just as Zhang Wu was about to block it, the other party suddenly changed his move. The spearhead repeatedly and quickly stabbed forward, drawing out spear flowers and hitting the broad head of the Overlord Spear with a tinkling sound.
"flashy but not substantial."
Zhang Wu didn't even need to use the system to scan his opponent's strength.
The opponent's spear skills seemed profound and unfathomable, but they were actually superficial and powerless. In a confrontation between top generals, a slight mistake could lead to a thousand miles of error.
Zhang Wu grabbed the Overlord Spear and swung it horizontally. The spear shaft hit Zhang Xiu's spearhead.
The spearhead of the Tiger Head Spear was broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground. When the two horses crossed each other, Zhang Wu stabbed behind him. The sharp spearhead pierced a bloody hole in Zhang Xiu's shoulder.
Zhang Wu no longer cared about him and started galloping.
He only had a lone army. In just a few breaths, less than half of the elite cavalry were left. If this dragged on, he would not be able to charge out even if he had three heads and six arms when the Western Liang army had completely surrounded him.
He did not have much time left.
Since he was bluffing, he had to rush up to Dong Zhuo and scare him.
Dong Zhuo's camp was right in front of them. The red steed leaped forward with all its might, covering a distance of ten zhang, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
A hundred steps away, hundreds of soldiers protected Dong Zhuo behind them. In front of the tent, the light from the bonfire shone on Dong Zhuo's gloomy face, making him look even more ferocious.
Zhang Wu raised the Overlord Spear high and laughed out loud."Dong Zhuo, old dog, do you still remember me, Chen Liu and Zhang Wu?”
"Zhang Wu, he is Zhang Wu."
"There's hope now. I heard that he was the one who killed the Western Liang army in front of Tiger Cage Pass.”
"The heavens won't destroy the Han, the heavens won't destroy the Han!”
While the ministers were secretly jumping for joy, Dong Zhuo's veins were bulging and his temples were throbbing."Brat, are you courting death? If a man and a horse appear in front of me, my army will crush you into meat paste in a moment.”
Zhang Wu couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on him. He picked up a brazier and threw it at the armored soldiers, instantly smashing a group of Western Liang soldiers. As the great spear stabbed left and right, hundreds of shield-armored soldiers were killed or injured.
Under the Overlord Spear, the thick and heavy pure iron shield was like paper. It could not stop Zhang Wu at all.
In a few more steps, Zhang Wu would meet Dong Zhuo. At this moment, Dong Zhuo finally panicked. He could even feel the sharp killing intent on the spear.
"Left and right, where are the left and right!"
Zhang Ji and Hu Zhen, who had been preparing for battle, finally arrived with their troops. Zhang Wu casually killed the two generals, and by the time he looked for Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had already retreated into the encirclement of the Xi Liang Army.
"General, general, quickly retreat. The encirclement is about to be formed. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!”
Under the anxious shouts of his subordinates, Zhang Wu finally came back to his senses. He was only here to bluff and gain reputation. There was no need to continue fighting.
However, Dong Zhuo was right in front of him. He was really unwilling to leave now.
"Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Wu shouted and grabbed the spear on the ground. Then, he threw it with all his strength.
Zhang Wu was getting more and more skilled in throwing the gun. This time, his aim was good and his strength was just right.
At the last moment, a soldier holding a shield stood in front of Dong Zhuo. The strength of his spear didn't decrease and directly shattered the heavy shield. Unfortunately, the spearhead was also shattered by the heavy shield, leaving only a deep wound on Dong Zhuo's left face.
Zhang Wu thought it was a pity. If he had thrown the Overlord Spear, he was confident that he could have pierced Dong Zhuo's head. However, the Overlord Spear was a little expensive, so he really couldn't bear to throw it away.
"Retreat!"
With Zhang Wu clearing the way, the pressure on the cavalrymen was greatly reduced. They tore open a gap in the weak encirclement of the Western Liang army and escaped far away.
It was already midnight when the Cao army entered the forest. The surroundings were pitch black, and the Western Liang army could not pursue them.
After resting for a night, Zhang Wu began to count the casualties and prepare to return to the army.
After the battle, only 26 of the 100 riders that followed him to charge into the camp were left, and all of them were injured.
.........
In Xingyang, Cao Cao had given up the advantage of the cavalry's surprise attack and defended the city. He allowed Li Jue and Guo Si to greet his ancestors, but he closed the city gate and refused to fight. This was the best way to deal with cavalry in this era, because no idiot would use cavalry to attack a city.
After Li Jue and Guo Si joined forces, they surrounded Xingyang for a day and a night, but they could not find any opportunity to fight. They had no choice but to retreat.
After all, the Western Liang Army was on the losing end. If Cao Cao had reinforcements behind him and they were too far away from the main force of the Western Liang Army, they could easily be wiped out.
Although the Flying Bear Army came and went like the wind, the total number of cavalrymen in the alliance army was no less than theirs.
Moreover, these cavalrymen were Dong Zhuo's precious treasures. If they really suffered heavy losses, it would be difficult for the two of them to explain when they returned.
