Chapter 1400: Tearing open a gap

"Hahaha, Cao Cao, you didn't know that, did you? Let me tell you, I have innate divine strength; with your small frame, you still want to fight me?" Zhang Fei laughed loudly, his face full of disdain.

Cao Cao's expression was terrifyingly gloomy; he gripped his long halberd tightly and stared fiercely at Zhang Fei, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze.

However, Zhang Fei was not afraid at all; he raised his long spear and charged toward Cao Cao again.

This time, his attack was even fiercer and more ferocious.

Seeing this, Cao Cao did not dare to be careless; he brandished his long halberd, meeting Zhang Fei's long spear.

The two men's figures crossed in the air, the sound of weapons colliding rang out continuously, and every collision made the surrounding air vibrate, as if it wanted to tear the entire battlefield apart.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were not idle either; the two of them joined forces and fought fiercely with the other generals of the Cao army.

Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade danced without a gap, and every hack could take away the life of a Cao soldier.

And Zhao Yun was like a ghost, shuttling through the Cao army; his silver spear was like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity, and once there was a chance, he would stab without hesitation, taking the enemy's life.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and blood flowed like a river.

The soldiers on both sides had eyes red from killing; they were like crazed beasts, constantly charging toward each other.

Although the Cao army was numerous, under the leadership of Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, the defenders of Yecheng were not afraid at all; they fought bravely and engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Cao army.

Time passed second by second, and the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer.

Although the Cao army was numerous, under the fierce charging and killing of Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

And Cao Cao was also locked in a bitter struggle with Zhang Fei; the two men's strength was equal, and for a time, it was difficult to determine a winner.

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A Cao general suddenly brandished the great blade in his hand and hacked toward Zhang Fei's back.

Zhang Fei was fighting fiercely with Cao Cao and did not notice the danger behind him at all.

Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed by, blocking behind Zhang Fei.

"Clang!"

The great blade hacked onto that figure, making the sound of metal clashing.

Zhang Fei looked back and was stunned.

It turned out that the person blocking behind him was Zhao Yun.

"Zilong!" Zhang Fei exclaimed.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said: "Yide, you focus on dealing with Cao Cao; leave these small fry to me."

After speaking, he brandished his silver spear and charged toward that Cao general.

Seeing this, that general was so scared that his face turned pale; he had not expected Zhao Yun to suddenly appear behind him.

He brandished his great blade in a panic, trying to block Zhao Yun's attack.

However, how exquisite was Zhao Yun's spear technique? His silver spear was like a spirit snake, bypassing the great blade and stabbing directly into that general's chest.

"Ah!"

That general let out a shrill scream and then fell heavily to the ground.

After Zhao Yun killed that general with one spear thrust, he turned and charged toward other Cao soldiers.

His figure shuttled through the Cao army, and every charge could take away the lives of several Cao soldiers.

And Zhang Fei also rejoined the battle with Cao Cao; his long spear danced even more fiercely, as if he wanted to put Cao Cao to death.

Cao Cao's expression became increasingly ugly; he had not expected that he would be forced to this point by Zhang Fei.

He knew clearly that if he could not defeat Zhang Fei as soon as possible, then today's battle would likely end in a crushing defeat.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, then brandished his long halberd and charged toward Zhang Fei.

The two fought fiercely together again, the sound of weapons colliding rang out continuously, and every collision made the surrounding air tremble.

However, just at this moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield.

That person was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a long sword, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, looking heroic and spirited.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of both sides.

"Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao said through gritted teeth, his face showing anger and wariness.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "Meng De, it's been many years; how have you been?"

Cao Cao sneered: "Liu Bei, stop your hypocrisy here. What are you doing here? Are you here to die?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Meng De, you are wrong. I am here to stop this meaningless war."

"Hmph! Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to stop me?" Cao Cao said disdainfully.

Liu Bei sighed: "Meng De, you and I both know that if this war continues, it will only cause more innocent people to sacrifice. Why bother?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then sneered: "Liu Bei, do you think a few words from you can make me retreat? You are too naive."

After speaking, he brandished his long halberd and charged toward Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei did not show weakness; he raised his long sword and fought with Cao Cao.

The two men's figures crossed in the air, and every collision made the surrounding air vibrate incessantly. Their sword techniques each had their own merits, and for a time, it was difficult to determine a winner.

And at this time, the battlefield had also reached a white-hot stage. With Liu Bei's addition, the morale of the Yecheng defenders soared, while the Cao army began to show signs of fatigue. Although Cao Cao was incomparably fierce, under the joint attack of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, he also gradually felt unable to cope.

The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely on the battlefield, blood flowing like a river, the shouts of killing shaking the sky. Every charge saw countless lives pass away, but neither side had any intention of retreating.

However, as time passed, the Cao army's disadvantage became more and more obvious. Their formation began to scatter, and their morale gradually declined. In contrast, the Yecheng defenders fought more bravely the more they fought, and every one of their attacks made the Cao army feel terrified.

Cao Cao looked at the situation on the battlefield and couldn't help but feel anxious. He had not expected that the army he personally led would fall into such a passive situation. He knew that if he could not reverse the war situation as soon as possible, then today's battle would end in failure.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao took a deep breath, brandished his long halberd, and charged toward Liu Bei. He intended to personally defeat this former ally to boost morale.

However, Liu Bei was no ordinary person. He raised his long sword and engaged in a fierce duel with Cao Cao. The two men's figures crossed in the air, their sword techniques exquisite and unparalleled, making it impossible to keep up.

At the same time, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei were not idle either. They joined forces to attack the other generals of the Cao army, tearing open one gap after another in the Cao army's defensive line. ===== CHAPTER 1401 =====
