Chapter 419: Will Zhang Fei come?

Taigyo Mountain

As the violent drumbeats sounded, the bandit army led by Dong Zhuo's former subordinates launched a general attack on the top of the mountain. They thought that the tired and hungry Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like ants and could be destroyed in one move.

However, what surprised them was that they had no idea where the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry got their strength from. As soon as they launched a charge, they would be greeted by rolling logs and stones. Even if they were lucky enough to avoid the rolling logs and stones and drew their swords to engage in close combat with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they would not be able to gain the slightest advantage. Often, they would be beheaded in just one encounter.

This made them tremble with fear. Such powerful soldiers were tired and hungry?
It's such a joke!
Looking at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the top of the mountain, the bandit soldiers looked at each other, everyone had fear and horror on their faces, and the sound of swallowing saliva was heard one after another. Even the middle-level generals who were giving orders felt their scalps tingling. No one wanted to be the first to launch an attack, so they launched another charge.

The messenger rushed to the enemy's camp in a hurry and told the enemy commander everything that had just happened word for word.

The commander of the rebel army was named Dong, and he claimed to be Dong Zhuo's brother, and was known as "General Dong".

After hearing the words of the messenger, General Dong frowned and punched the desk, causing the tea and wine utensils to fall to the ground with a loud bang.

"You bastard! You actually relied on the terrain and didn't dare to fight me head-on! I wish I could eat the flesh and drink the blood of the man who is hiding his head and showing his tail and harming my soldiers!"

Although General Dong was extremely angry and looked like he wanted to take up his gun to avenge the dead bandits, the other generals in his tent were worried. Some even said directly, "General, I think we should withdraw the troops. Soldiers who are so brave must be extraordinary! I think their origins are far beyond your and my imagination!"

As soon as this was said, many people agreed with it. They all said in unison, "Yes, yes, General, we should avoid his sharp edge."

However, General Dong immediately stopped everyone, "These bandits took advantage of our unpreparedness and attacked one of our camps. If we let them go, how will the rest of the army view us? How can we convince the others if we are afraid to act in front of bandits numbering less than a thousand!"

"But General, this group of 'thieves' are not like ordinary county soldiers. If we get rid of them, will we provoke people we can't afford to offend?" A general stood up and expressed his concern.

General Dong laughed as if he had heard a joke. He even burst into tears while laughing. "Hahaha!"

He smiled and waved his hands at the crowd, "Someone you can't afford to offend? Is there anyone in the world you fear? He's just a small general with a few hundred men, what kind of background can he have?"

"Can you call Zhang Yide to attack me?!"

"In my opinion, these people are just the remnants of Yan Liang's army!"

"Yan Liang can't even protect himself, let alone them?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, General Dong laughed even louder.

The generals looked at each other. This statement sounded fine, but they always felt that something was wrong.

General Dong did not give the crowd time to think. He waved his hand and said, "Inform the three armies. The first person to reach the top of the mountain will be rewarded handsomely! A reward of 10 taels and 100 catties of meat!"

"Yes." The people present stopped persuading him and lowered their heads to follow the arrangements of General Dong.

"Ah!"

Zhang Fei sneezed loudly while walking through the mountains and forests. The personal guards guarding him immediately took out a piece of cloth and handed it to him.

"Third General, do you need me to call a doctor?" "No need." Zhang Fei took the cloth and waved to his guards.

The guard seemed to have a worried look on his face. He advised: "Third General, you have been sneezing a lot in recent days. I think it would be better to call a doctor to check it out. Maybe you have caught a cold."

"No need to worry." Zhang Fei smiled slightly, "I think it's Cao Mengde who's thinking about me. By the way, do you know the whereabouts of Captain Cao?"

When the name Cao Cao was mentioned, the relaxed look on Zhang Fei's face disappeared in an instant, and a solemn look appeared on his brows.

The guards around him also became solemn. They sighed, "We have been on the mountain for several days. According to the orders of the three generals, we have not spared even an ant nest, but we still have no trace of Captain Cao."

An atmosphere of depression and defeat spread, and even Zhang Fei felt a little frustrated and anxious. He wished he had a plane like the one Zhen De mentioned, so that he could fly directly to Cao Cao and smash the things that were bothering him to pieces.

In the end, Zhang Fei did not show his emotion on his face. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Even though he knew that these were useless actions and would not help in finding Cao Cao, at least they made him look calm.

In front of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and even Jia Xu, he could express his inner emotions without any worries.

but.
Except now.

As a commander, he is the most anxious. If even the commander loses his composure, what about the others?

Isn't that very urgent?
What's more, a large part of the personal guards around him at this moment are new recruits that he is optimistic about. As for the old soldiers who followed him in battle, most of them were demoted to serve as generals.

As the younger brother of General Wei, the General of the Han Cavalry, and the uncle of the emperor's brother, he cannot lose face in front of the new recruits, right?
Therefore, Zhang Fei encouraged everyone: "Don't panic, don't be impatient at any time, maybe we are just negligent, maybe Cao Mengde's whereabouts are on the way."

"Three Generals"

The guards were somewhat moved. He thought: No matter when it is, we are lucky to be able to feel the kindness of the three generals. Even if General He were to be resurrected, he would not be more than this.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were selected from the best of the best, and many of them were chosen from the Northern Army. In Zhang Fei's eyes, they were not considered old soldiers, but in the eyes of others, they were elite soldiers.

Just as the guards were sighing, a hurried figure brought them back to the present. They looked intently and saw that it was a messenger.

They thought that the words from the messenger's mouth would still be fruitless, but who could have thought that the next moment, the messenger gave them a big surprise.

"Third General, we have discovered Captain Cao's soldiers!"

"!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?"

"Third General, please follow me."

The guards looked at each other, and saw a hint of joy on each other's faces. At the same time, some of them looked at Zhang Fei with admiration and said excitedly in a low voice: "The Third General is right. The Third General is really a god!"
