Chapter 168 Dian Wei vs. Zhang Fei
"Search them carefully for me!"

Zhang Fei, leading the 200 new soldiers sent by Jin Mao, walked triumphantly among the Chenliu troops led by Zhang Miao, intending to search these people thoroughly to see if they had hidden any valuables.

A new official starts with three things.

Zhang Fei wanted to let the first fire burn the enemy first. As soon as Jin Mao gave the order, Zhang Fei rode out alone, completely ignoring the situation of his subordinates.

This made things difficult for Wu Ning, the adjutant assigned to Zhang Fei by Jin Mao.

Although Wu Ning is no longer the young boy Ning Ye after years of study and progress, he is only 19 years old and is full of pride.

How could I submit to Zhang Fei?
What's more, Wu Ning did not think that he was inferior to Zhang Fei in martial arts. Now he was seven feet five inches tall, the food in the army was not bad, and his muscles were quite large.

Of course, overall he is far inferior to Zhang Fei.

But Wu Ning had already defeated all the masters in the army, and even Huang Gai praised him highly. Wu Ning believed that if he could grow stronger in a few more years, he would be able to compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Young people always have their own pride.

Therefore, Wu Ning was very confused about having a boss like Zhang Fei.

Fortunately, Wu Ning's many years of military career have made him more obedient and he will resolutely carry out orders no matter how difficult they are.

"Team one, run slower and don't chase the village chief. Team two, speed up."

Wu Ning commanded while running. Years of heavy-duty training gave him considerable lung capacity, allowing him to run more than ten or twenty miles in one breath without any effort.

"Keep in line!"

"Always be prepared to engage the enemy!"

These two hundred men were all equipped with cloth armor and spears, except for the chief and deputy officers Zhang Fei and Wu Ning who were fully equipped.

The entire army is in short supply, except for the main force of 10,000 people and the 5,000 new recruits who have performed outstandingly in the competition during this period, who are equipped with full or half armor.

Now, in the entire army, only the royal guards are always in full armor. In the navy and main battalions, only the top few hundred elite people are in full armor, and the rest of the nearly 10,000 people are in half armor.

This even includes the 2,000 sets of full armor newly seized from Guangling County. Otherwise, the army would not have that many.

The reason why Zhang Fei was in such a hurry was naturally because if he arrived too late he wouldn't be able to get even half an armor, let alone a full armor.

Wu Ning didn't care about all that and just kept one principle in mind: keep Zhang Fei under control and don't make any mistakes!

After running for half an hour, Wu Ning and his men finally caught up with Zhang Fei, and they were considered to be among the fastest runners in the army.

But Zhang Fei was still dissatisfied: "Can't you go faster?"

“All the good stuff is gone!”

Wu Ning said unhappily: "Zhang Yide, watch your tone!"

"You are under my control!"

After several years of study, Wu Ning has basically mastered the elegant language with a Min-Yue accent. If he speaks fast, Zhang Fei has to prick up his ears to understand him.

Zhang Fei didn't understand the first sentence, but he did understand the second one. His eyes widened and he said, "I am the captain! I am the chief officer!"

"You must obey my orders, boy!"

Wu Ning said disdainfully: "This is the order of the lord, do you dare to disobey?"

Combining the expression and tone, Zhang Fei understood and screamed in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

If you want to lead the team, you have to be obedient.

At this time, another troop of brothers arrived at this area and shouted to Zhang Miao's army: "Put down your weapons and armor on the ground, and everyone stand on the right!"

Zhang Fei was immediately displeased: "Which department are you from? How dare you steal my things?"

When the brother troops saw Zhang Fei here, they did not dare to act rashly and quickly moved to another place to grab equipment.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's notoriety in the army actually played some role.

After driving away the people who were trying to grab food, Zhang Fei looked at Wu Ning triumphantly, and then imitated his fellow soldiers and said, "Quickly stand still!"

"Otherwise, the snake spear in grandpa's hand won't recognize you!"

Zhang Fei had a sharp eye. This group of people were not regular troops but were better than regular troops. They were all strong and well-equipped, and there were about three to four hundred of them.

After robbing this group of people, Zhang Fei had already made up his mind. He would ask the envoy for another 200 men, so that he would have 400 men under his command.

When the time comes and the war breaks out, your military achievements will surely increase dramatically.

Cool!
However, Zhang Fei did not notice that there was a muscular man in the crowd who was as tall as him and half a size bigger than him. He glanced at him, then lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

Here, Wu Ning led his men to count and collect the military equipment.

Zhang Fei observed his caught prey like a lion patrolling his territory.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he rode up to a strong man, pointed at his armor and shouted, "Are you deaf?"

"I told you to take off all your armor. What's wrong with you?"

This man was named Dian Wei, and was from Jiwu, Chenliu. In his early years, he fled because he avenged a personal vengeance for someone else. He joined the army with armor because Zhang Miao promised to forgive his past crimes when recruiting soldiers.

The set of iron armor he was wearing was not owned by Zhang Miao's army, but was Dian Wei's private property.

However, Dian Wei did not argue with Zhang Fei and began to take off his armor.

As Dian Wei's muscles lifted up his thin coat, Zhang Fei stared at him as if he had seen a peerless beauty.

"I'm just sitting there doing nothing." Zhang Fei pointed his snake spear at Dian Wei and said, "I see you know a little bit of fighting skills, do you dare to fight with me?"

As a warrior, Dian Wei is also very warlike. Since Zhang Fei has such a request, what else is there to say?

"Captain, I'm afraid I might hurt you."

Dian Wei said very cautiously: "I am a surrendered soldier, this may not be a good idea."

Zhang Fei seemed to have heard a huge joke: "Hurt me?"

"Only you!?"

"Come on, come on!" Zhang Fei jumped off his horse and said, "I am an expert in horse fighting, and I suppose you are not good at it either, so I won't bully you. I will fight you on foot."

Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "Please return my weapon, Captain, so that I can fight you."

"No problem!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and asked, "Spear or lance?"

In Zhang Fei's opinion, Dian Wei could not be a heavy infantryman, and he was probably only proficient in using these two weapons.

Dian Wei said with embarrassment: "Then give me two spears."

"Huh?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Two spears?"

"Can you do it?"

Dian Wei clasped his fists and answered truthfully: "I am very strong, and the wooden spear is too light, it's like using a feather."

"Haha!" Zhang Fei laughed, "This is the first time I've met someone who can brag more than me!" "Hit!"

"I won't take advantage of you. Put on your armor and compete again."

Dian Wei thanked him.

The moment he put on his armor and took up his weapon, his temperament changed drastically. He was no longer the modest and cautious Dian Wei, but a ferocious tiger.

Zhang Fei's expression paused, became serious, and began to take it seriously.

The two people who were in confrontation, their momentum alone forced the people around them to automatically make room for them.

"Come!" Zhang Fei signaled Dian Wei to attack first.

"Roar!"

Dian Wei roared, holding the spear forward with his left hand and holding the spear behind him with his right hand slightly bent, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"Well done!"

Zhang Fei roared excitedly, and his Zhangba Snake Spear emitted a spear flower.

"choke!"

The spear tips collided with each other.

Dian Wei's left spear was blocked, and his right spear followed closely.

Zhang Fei retracted his strength, then exerted force in the opposite direction, and the snake spear swung its head like a poisonous snake, knocking another person away.

Dian Wei's middle gate was wide open, and Zhang Fei seized the opportunity to thrust forward.

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei's left spear returned to the ground too fast, and he forcibly corrected its trajectory by brute force alone.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Fei pulled away to block.

Taking one step back and then another, Dian Wei also struck back with his right spear. Then it was Dian Wei's attack time.

"Cho, cho, cho!"

Zhang Fei blocked left and right, looking very embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the attack frequency of the double spears was so high, and he had no chance to attack at all.

Seeing Zhang Fei being defeated and falling into a disadvantage, Wu Ning was shocked and couldn't help but come over to watch.

The other soldiers were not much better. They were so fascinated by the scene that they forgot that this was a battlefield and that the two sides were still in a hostile relationship.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Fei roared and pushed Dian Wei away with great force, trying to interrupt his offensive rhythm and reorganize the offensive.

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei only took half a step back, twisted his waist and rushed forward again.

"Ping ping pong pong!"

Zhang Fei struggled to parry and was unable to take advantage of the length of the Zhangba Snake Spear.

Sudden.

With a "crack", Dian Wei's left spear broke in the middle because it could not withstand the collision.

The fight came to an end, and both sides jumped away.

Dian Wei was breathing heavily, his face wasn't red, but his heart was beating like a drum, which could be heard by people around him.

Zhang Fei's face turned red, and it was obvious that he was a little exhausted from the previous confrontation, and blood was rushing to his forehead.

Just by looking at the status of the two people, everyone has already made a judgment on the outcome.

"This round doesn't count!"

Zhang Fei was also a man who wanted to save face, so he shouted, "I won in an ignoble way, relying on the power of my weapon!"

"When you have a weapon that suits you, we'll fight again."

There was booing all around, and the enemy and our side reached a rare agreement.

Zhang Fei was so angry that he shouted, "Stand still!"

"You are all prisoners!"

At this time, some unconvinced voices were heard from Zhang Miao's army: "You are only so capable that you can't even defeat Sergeant Dian."

"If we really fight, it's still uncertain who will win or lose!"

"Who?" Zhang Fei roared, "Who is gossiping behind my back?"

"Come out and fight me if you have the guts!"

Someone else said from the crowd, "Sergeant Dian's double halberds are in your hands."

"Let's have another match if you can."

"Okay! Let's fight!" Zhang Fei pointed at Dian Wei and said, "Go get your weapon, and let's fight again!"

"This time, I will fight you on horseback. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

To be on the safe side, Zhang Fei chose to fight in the way he was best at: "If you are also good at horse fighting, I will lend you my mount!"

Dian Wei never lacked confidence in his martial arts skills. He raised his head and said, "Why not?"

The soldier Zhang Miao couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stab Zhang Fei again, but the latter discovered him and stabbed him to death with a spear.

"I hate talking bad about people behind their backs!"

"If you have the ability to fight me like Sergeant Dian, I will obey you!"

At this point, Zhang Miao's army no longer dared to stab.

Soon, the two of them struck their poses.

Zhang Fei shamelessly used horse battle against Dian Wei, but the latter didn't care at all.

After a few rounds.

More and more people gathered around, most of them were under Jinmao's command.

Everyone was shocked that Dian Wei could fight on foot against a cavalry unit and was only slightly inferior.

Looking again, Dian Wei's opponent turned out to be Zhang Fei!
My goodness, his eyeballs are about to pop out.

Although Zhang Fei is not popular, his strength is generally recognized to be second only to Guan Yu. Of course, there is no winner between the two, but Guan Yu is ranked ahead of Zhang Fei, and everyone subconsciously ranks him that way.
