After truly entering between Yanqu Mountain and Chongshan, Zhang and Lu felt more at ease. They had even basically determined Liu Zhang's death sentence.
Yanqu Mountain and Chongshan are not close to each other. There is a wide ground of about a hundred steps between the two mountains. The two mountains are very steep. It is almost a wishful thinking to ambush on the mountain, because there is no way to carry out an assault!
As we go deeper inside, the terrain gradually becomes wider, which is estimated to be about 150 steps.
"Hahaha, brother, what I said is right! Liu Zhang is crazy! Fighting in this place, even the cavalry will be useless!"
Zhang Lu was completely relieved now. Just as Zhang Wei said, the cavalry couldn't move at all at 150 steps!
"Let's go and see what tricks Liu Zhang plays!"
Zhang Lu looked at the endless army behind him and felt confident in his heart. He no longer had any fear of Liu Zhang.
After marching for nearly five miles, Zhang Lu finally saw Liu Zhang's army in formation. Everything was as Zhang Wei expected, and Liu Zhang occupied the high ground.
It's a pity that this high place is just a small slope and cannot achieve the overwhelming effect at all!
Looking at the mountains on both sides, Zhang Lu was even more happy. Yanqu Mountain and Chong Mountain were almost upright. It was impossible to climb up, let alone rush down from the top!
There were no forks along the way, which meant that Liu Zhang had no way of arranging an ambush.
In other words, as long as the Liu Zhang army in front of you is eliminated, it will definitely be the final victory!
Zhang Lu continued to move forward with his army until he stopped about a hundred steps away from Liu Zhang.
"Hey, why do Liu Zhang's soldiers hold such big shields?"
I hadn't noticed it in the distance just now, but when I got closer, Zhang Lu saw it clearly. It turned out that the giant objects before were actually large shields!
These shields were taller than people, covering the entire army behind, leaving only a small path in the middle.
Jia Long and the other three were also very puzzled. They had never seen anyone holding such a big shield in battle.
"Brother, don't worry about this broken shield. You can see the heads of the soldiers behind Liu Zhang at a glance. There are only ten thousand people at most. What are you afraid of him? Can these shields still stop our 60,000 army?"
Zhang Wei didn't think so much. Not to mention Liu Zhang holding a shield, even if he held a white flag, he couldn't let him go!
Zhang Lu looked ahead again, and indeed, as Zhang Wei said, he could see all the soldiers and horses.
"Now that it's come to this, don't worry about what tricks he plays! In the face of absolute strength, everything is just a cloud!"
Zhang Lu, Jia Long, Zhao Wei and Ren Qi rode their horses forward, full of momentum!
Just as he was about to call for formation, a loud shout suddenly came from the military formation on the opposite side!
"Which bastard is Zhang Lu?"
Zhang Lu's anger surged, how could he start scolding him immediately?
"This prefect is Zhang Lu, who are you?"
"Listen, you bastard, I am Dian Wei, the general under General Wei!"
Zhang Lu thought it was Liu Zhang who was insulting him, but he didn't expect it wasn't Liu Zhang himself. Just as he was about to retaliate, he heard Ren Qi exclaim in surprise.
"It turns out he is Dian Wei!"
"Prefect Ren knows him?"
Ren Qi shook his head. How could he have the chance to meet Dian Wei?
"I don't know him, but his name is as loud as thunder! Dian Wei is born with divine power. Look at the big halberd in his hand. This is made of pure iron. Most people can't pick it up, but it is Dian Wei's weapon for fighting!"
Ren Qi's eyes were full of envy. This was the general he dreamed of!
"I didn't expect Liu Zhang to have such capable people under his command..."
Zhang Lu complimented him, but in his heart he didn't take Dian Wei seriously at all.
No matter how strong Dian Wei is, can he still make up for the gap between the 50,000 soldiers? If he can kill a hundred people, or a thousand people, can he still kill 10,000 people?
Ren Qi shook his head slightly, he obviously didn't think so.
"Liu Zhang has many talented people under his command, and there are more than three of them with Dian Wei's level of fighting ability. It is really enviable!"
Zhang Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not take these words seriously.
If nothing unexpected happens, the legend of Liu Zhang’s generals will end here!
"Zhang Lu, the dog thief, my lord has something to ask you!"
Zhang Lu turned around and saw someone in the opposite formation riding his horse forward, it was Liu Zhang.
"Zhang Lu, were my father and mother harmed by you?"
Liu Zhang shouted loudly, but there was no obvious anger.
Now that things have happened, Zhang Lu has no need to hide anything. This battle is the first step towards becoming the Lord of Yizhou!
"That's right! I killed Liu Yan and his wife, what can you do to me?"
Zhang Lu was very arrogant and openly provocative in front of the two armies!
The purpose is also very obvious, to anger Liu Zhang and make him lose his mind again!
Unfortunately, Zhang Lu's wishful thinking came to nothing, and Liu Zhang was not fooled.
"Zhang Lu, put away your stupid little thoughts, I will make you pay a heavy price for your actions!"
"Hahaha!"
Faced with Liu Zhang's verbal threats, Zhang Lu was unmoved at all and just looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Liu Zhang, I really don't know where you got the courage! Do you think you can get out of here alive today?"
"Zhang Lu, I will return this sentence to you intact!"
Liu Zhang sighed in his heart, history is always surprisingly similar! He killed Zhang Lu's mother in history, but he didn't expect that Zhang Lu would kill his parents in this life!
"Are the three people beside you Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi?"
Jia Long and the other three were slightly startled. They didn't expect Liu Zhang to know about them!
"Meet General Wei."
The three of them were very polite and bowed their hands to Liu Zhang.
"Does my parents' death have anything to do with you?"
Liu Zhang went straight to the subject of Liu Yan's matter without too much politeness.
"No!"
Jia Long and the three of them denied the matter in unison without any hesitation.
"General Wei, although we are hostile at the moment, Liu Fujun's matter really has nothing to do with us."
Liu Zhang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. There was really no need for Jia Long and the others to lie, and Liu Zhang knew this too.
"Since it has nothing to do with you, then you can go, I will let you go today."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhang Wei, who was beside Zhang Lu, suddenly burst into laughter and looked at Liu Zhang as if he were a fool.
"Liu Zhang, are you scared out of your wits by our 60,000-strong army? Or has Liu Yan's death made you delirious? You only have 10,000 people, but you are still talking wildly about letting us go?"
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Wei coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"I never said I would let you two traitors go."
"Jia Long, Zhao Wei, Ren Qi, I will only give you this one chance. If you insist on being my enemy, then I won't be polite!"
Liu Zhang had already issued an ultimatum to the three of them, but this ultimatum seemed to have little deterrent effect.
Jia Long chuckled and bowed his hand to Liu Zhang again.
"I have long heard that General Wei is like a god with his troops, and today Jia wants to learn a lesson from him!"
