Hua Xiong led a hundred cavalry and arrived at Ru Yin County. The flying bear army was majestic like ten thousand horses galloping.
"Guard upstairs, listen up. I am the general under the Marquis Champion Zhang Wu, Hua Xiong. Who dares to leave the city to fight?”
The current Ru Yin County Magistrate was Zhang Xun's brother-in-law, and he was using his nepotism to lord it over this place.
This person's surname was Zhao and his name was Kan. What was worthy of praise was that he had once participated in the crusade against Dong by the princes of the Eighteen Towns. At that time, he was just a small military chief registrar.
Yu She, who had been killed by Hua Xiong's broadsword in front of Mushui Pass, was his fellow countryman.
Who was Yu She? The general that Yuan Shu called him, the brave general who swept across Runan's ten miles and eight villages.
He was already terrified by the fact that Hua Xiong could kill Yu She with one strike, let alone the Marquis Champion!
Back then, when the Marquis Champion Zhang Wu was killing his way through the Western Liang cavalry, he had cheered on the city gate tower. Now that he thought about it, he was still hot-blooded.
Things had changed, and his idol had become his enemy. Zhao Kan's heart was filled with fighting spirit. He was now thinking about how to explain to his brother-in-law, Zhang Xun, that he had lost Ru Yin County.
"Magistrate, don't panic. Since that boorish man dares to fight, I, Li Feng, am willing to go out of the city and break him.”
Li Feng was a new member of Yuan Shu's side, and he was quite brave. Zhao Kan was originally prepared to abandon the city and leave, but since this hothead was not afraid of death, he would not stop him. When he returned to Zhang Xun, at least he would have something to say.
"Alright, if you can kill Hua Xiong, I will personally ask the lord for your merit.”
Creak!
The gates of Ru Yin opened, and Li Feng rushed towards Hua Xiong with a knife in hand.
The other party looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, more than seven feet tall, with a medium build. The horse under him was panting and could not run fast.
Hwa Xiong frowned, but he was not careless. After he was captured by Zhang Wu at Mushui Pass, he had become less impetuous. He immediately pressed down on his mount, pointed his long saber, and shouted,"Come and tell me your name!"
"I am Li Feng, the brave general of Runan.”
After hearing the other party's name, Hwa Xiong's heart calmed down. It was not because he had never heard of Li Feng's name. There were tens of millions of brave generals in the world who had yet to be born, and Hwa Xiong could not have heard of every one of them.
He had only judged from the other party's voice, confidence, and aura that he was an ordinary person.
"You dare to call yourself a brave general of Runan? Haven't you heard of my name?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Xiong's warhorse galloped forward. He raised his long saber above his head and slashed down.
Li Feng calmly raised his long saber to block in front of him.
Clang!
After a crisp sound, the long saber in Li Feng's hand broke into two. Even half of his shoulder was cut off by Hwa Xiong. Blood splattered all over the ground and he instantly fell off the horse, screaming in pain.
Hwa Xiong turned around and slowly rode his warhorse to Li Feng.""Pui, so it's a pewter spearhead."
A katana general's strength was usually greater than that of an ordinary person's, which was why he was able to use his saber technique continuously. However, Li Feng clearly used a saber, but he used a solid wood as the handle. He did not understand the meaning of the saber at all. In Hwa Xiong's opinion, this kind of person using a saber was simply an insult to the saber.
The Dawan horse lifted its bowl-sized hooves and stomped on Li Feng's chest. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. Li Feng's nose was bleeding and his chest caved in. He couldn't be more dead.
Waving his long saber, Hwa Xiong once again arrived in front of the city."Who else dares to fight in the lower city?"
"Hua Xiong, what are you dawdling for? I ordered you to take the city, but you are acting so violently in front of the battle. Have you forgotten the words of the military counselor?”
Hwa Xiong didn't dare to act rashly when he heard the person speaking. He obediently shut up and retreated to the side.
Four words of advice naturally meant that speed was the most important thing in war.
He didn't know how other people understood it, but in Zhang Wu's opinion, a small Ru Yin city could be easily taken away with a flip of his hand. Wasting two hours wasn't even considered speed in war.
This Hwa Xiong was a battle general, and he was also the one who invited him to battle. If it wasn't a waste of time, then what was it?
Besides, there wasn't even a prefect here. How could there be a decent general? Wasn't this nonsense?
Zhang Wu carried the Overlord Spear and walked past Hwa Xiong to the high wall of Ru Yin County. He pointed his spear upwards and said,""Listen up, I am Zhang Wu. I will give you ten breaths to open the city gate, or else you will be like this flag.”
With that, he held the Overlord Spear in his hand and threw it at the top of the city wall.
With a flash of cold light, the flag with the word 'Yuan' on the city wall fell down. The spear did not lose its momentum and pierced through the chest of the soldier holding the flag, nailing him to the pillar of the city gate tower.
No matter how much strength Zhang Wu had, he threw it down with all his might. The soldier's chest was shattered, and blood and pieces of internal organs were scattered everywhere.
At this moment, Zhao Kan couldn't even care about running away. Zhang Wu! He was actually looking at Zhang Wu!
That nightmarish figure.
Shocked, Zhao Kan climbed down the city wall and shouted,""Open the city gate, quickly open the city gate.”
What glory, wealth, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, deep affection? All of them could go to hell. Only by living could they live to enjoy all of this.
Creak!
The city gates of Ru Yin County opened once again, but this time, they did not close.
Zhao Kan, who was leading the way, knelt on the ground and trembled. The thousand soldiers behind him put down their weapons and lay on the ground, waiting to be recruited.
Zhang Wu rode forward and glanced at Zhao Kan, who was shivering."You are Ru Yin County Magistrate."
"I don't know how to appreciate favors. Please be magnanimous, Marquis Champion." Zhao Kan kowtowed.”
"Since you are so tactful, why should I kill you? Gongwei, take this person and subdue the surrounding counties.”
Hua Xiong didn't hesitate, he gathered 100 cavalry and brought Zhao Kan to conquer 84 counties of Ru Yin County overnight.
The next evening, Cao Ren and his soldiers arrived at Ru Yin County. They found that the city gates of every county that saw the flag with the word 'Cao' were wide open.
It was not until his troops arrived at Ruyin County and met the county magistrate, Zhao Kan, that he learned that Zhang Wu's Flying Bear had already taken over all 84 counties of Ruyin, but he had not deployed troops in each county.
It turned out that at noon, the flying bear had finished resting and went straight to Runan, leaving the mess behind to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren was completely dumbfounded. Could he defend the city with the name Zhang Wu? Was Zhang Wu's name that valuable?”
Cao Ren wanted to catch up with the vanguard. Otherwise, there was no point in talking about making contributions by following behind them. All the credit would be pocketed by others.、
However, he couldn't learn from Zhang Wu and treat the 84 counties of Ru Yin as nothing.
What Zhang Wu did was called speed in war. If he dared to do this, Cao Cao would break his legs when he returned.
"General, the champion rewarded me for my contribution to the city. He promised me a hundred gold and said that I would receive it from you.”Zhao Kan said loudly, as if he wanted money more than his life. He didn't even look like he was peeing in front of Zhang Wu.
Cao Ren was stunned and cursed.
If he had known that it would be like this when he partnered up with Zhang Wu, he would have gone to lead Cao Cao's horse. At least he wouldn't have to suffer, right?
