Chapter 49: Fierce Tiger in a Group Battle

  Knock knock knock!

  Yuan Shao, seeing that Liu Bei's two sworn brothers had actually fought to a draw with Qiu Shui, suddenly boosted the morale of his troops, loudly beating the drums to cheer them on, and gazed fiercely at the battle in the arena.

  After a while, the two of them joined forces and fought against Qiu Shui for eighty rounds, only to discover that his strength had not weakened in the slightest. He calmly countered their attacks, causing Guan Yu's face to turn pale with worry. He knew that his opponent had yet to use his full force, while he and Zhang Fei were already exhausted, barely holding on by a thread. If they waited until their own attacks weakened, Qiu Shui would surely unleash a torrent of attacks, putting the two of them in grave danger!

  Hua Xiong gripped his sword tightly, his eyes fixed intently on the battlefield, and anxiously said to Lü Bu: "General Lü, now that the allied army is using the 'Chē Yuǎn' formation against General Guan, I fear General Guan may suffer a defeat!"

  Lü Bu's eyes were also filled with fervor, and at this moment, Lü Bu really wanted to go down and have a good fight. However, Lü Bu knew that there were still many experts in the allied army, and he wouldn't be lonely when the time came. Otherwise, Lü Bu wouldn't let Qiu Shui show off alone.

  After hearing Hua Xiong's words, Lü Bu slightly shook his head and said: "General Hua, although you and Qiu Shui are both from Xiliang, do you know what makes Qiu Shui the most formidable?"

  Hua Xiong listened and thought for a moment, saying: "Martial arts! Archery!"

  Lü Bu heard this and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Wrong, General Hua, you don't understand Qiu Shui. His greatest strength is his physical power, which is almost terrifying. On the battlefield, he can exert his strongest combat power at any moment."

  Hiss! Hua Xiong took a deep breath after hearing this, and the words that came out of Lü Bu's mouth were something that Hua Xiong would never doubt. The fact that Lü Bu could say such things meant that he had conceded in this aspect, which was unthinkable for someone as proud as him. Among warriors, those who can bring out their strongest fighting power can last for dozens of rounds at most, and those with extraordinary physical strength can last for over a hundred rounds. However, they would eventually succumb to exhaustion, and their strength would wane along with it. This was common knowledge that everyone understood, and Hua Xiong was no exception. He knew the implication behind Lü Bu's words, which was also why he was shocked.

  Liu Bei had been working with his two sworn brothers for many years, how could he not see the current situation of the two? He also knew his own weight, and suddenly felt anxious, turning around in circles. Suddenly, he thought of something and ran to the observation deck, knelt down on one knee facing Yuan Shao, and cried: "Alliance leader, my two younger brothers have reached their limit, if they go further, they really can't hold on." Liu Bei knew that to achieve great things, he still had to rely on his two sworn brothers, so he absolutely could not let them lose these two brothers with extraordinary martial arts.

  At this time, Cao Cao also understood that if he let Guan Yu win another battle, the morale of his troops would be even harder to recover. On the other hand, Cao Cao looked at the two brave generals on the battlefield with fervent eyes and wanted to capture them. How could he let them die in this place? He hastily shouted to his left and right: "Come quickly, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, hurry up and assist the two generals."

  After Cao Cao finished speaking, two ferocious generals hesitated and said: "My lord, won't this be unrighteous?"

  Cao Cao finally reacted, thinking that a proud and arrogant general would not join forces to deal with others, even if he was inferior in skill. However, Cao Cao lived up to his reputation as a great minister in times of peace and a hero in times of turmoil. He rolled his eyes and shouted loudly in front of the other lords: "This Autumn Water has the bravery of a hegemon, how can one person resist him? Why don't you quickly go and kill the enemy for the country?"

  Good fellow, this must be a hat that has been put on, and group beating is also considered to have a reason. Is the reason for killing traitors for the country not enough?

  At that moment, Dian Wei and Xu Chu heard this, although their faces were somewhat helpless, but they still walked towards the war horse, listening to their own lord Cao Cao's orders.

  The two of them, after seeing Qiu Shui's martial arts skills, also roughly had an idea in their minds, knowing that the Western Liang Fierce Tiger's martial arts were not something one person could defeat alone. Although they were somewhat unwilling, they still charged forward.

  "Diǎn Wéi and Xǔ Chǔ have come to challenge Your Honor's martial arts, to see if you are worthy of the title 'Number One Under Heaven'!"

  Suddenly, two fierce generals rushed out of the allied army. Dianwei held two short halberds in his hands, while Xu Chu held a black long knife. Just by looking at the weight of their weapons, it was clear that they were not lighter than the previous two people's weapons.

  "How detestable! These rebels are indeed despicable, surrounding and beating me, drumming to assist my prestige, striking with all their might!" Dong Zhuo on the Tiger Trap Pass saw that two more generals had charged out of the enemy camp, and he suddenly cursed loudly.

  Qiu Shui had been fighting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for nearly a hundred rounds, waiting for the two to weaken before taking them down. Suddenly, he heard that the opposing camp had rushed out with two more famous historical generals. Knowing that the opportunity was lost, he quickly calmed his mind and prepared to deal with the fierce generals who were under Cao Cao's command in history.

  Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes filled with hope when they heard someone was coming to their aid, and the strength in their hands increased by a fraction.

  Qiu Shui glanced at the two with a slanted gaze when they were still ten steps away, and swung his spear in a false attack towards Guan Zhang. The two hastily raised their weapons to prepare for defense against the incoming attack, but little did they know it was just Qiu Shui's feint.

  Chi Water took advantage of this opportunity, clamped his legs on Red Hare's belly, and Red Hare's four hooves exerted force on the ground. With a sudden burst, it seemed to turn into a ball of flame and flashed towards Dianwei and Xu Chu like lightning, leaving four deep hoof prints on the ground.

  Dian Wei and Xu Chu knew that they had to join forces against Qiu Shui as soon as they mounted their war horses. At this moment, they felt a little resentful in their hearts, after all, even if they won, it would be the result of their joint efforts, still not as good as Qiu Shui. Just as the two were indulging in wild thoughts, a fiery phantom suddenly rushed towards them.

  Whoa! As the two of them got a clear look, their hearts were filled with shock and their faces were full of incredulity. However, as top-notch warriors, they quickly reacted and raised the weapons in their hands high up to prepare for the opponent's powerful and overwhelming attack.

  Qiu Shui held the halberd in both hands, borrowing the sudden burst of energy from the Red Hare horse, and suddenly charged to the front of the two people. He raised the halberd high and chopped down at them with a powerful stance, as if chopping down Mount Hua.

  A man borrowed the momentum of a horse, and at this time, the force of the painting halberd in Autumn Water's hand was even more increased by three points, with an unmatched overbearing aura, fiercely chopping down towards the two.

  Boom!

  Three divine weapons collided fiercely, producing a thunderous sound.

  Three people collided and were shaken apart by their respective forces. Diwu Xiwu only felt his arms go numb, a suffocating sensation in his chest, and an expression of utter disbelief on his face - is there really someone with such incredible martial power in this world?!

  Just as the two of them were numb in their arms, the opponent simply shook his body and launched another attack with the spear in his hand. To know that both of them still had some numbness in their arms now, while the opponent took advantage of the horse's momentum to gain the upper hand, but the opponent also suffered a full-strength blow from both of them, and surprisingly recovered instantly, leaving both of them stunned, with no time to think, they quickly swung their weapons to meet the opponent's next attack.

  Yuanshu and Xu Chu had thought they had already estimated each other's martial arts, but unexpectedly in this strike, the two of them deeply understood that they still underestimated this person.

  "Autumn water in his chest seemed to have a ball of fire, with an excited face he shouted: 'Come on! Haha ha!'"

  Three people collided fiercely with each other, and they fought back and forth. At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also rushed over to join the battle array.

  At this moment, four top-notch martial arts generals in history joined forces and fought against Akira!

  The soldiers of both armies were shocked by the force of Autumn Water, and the four men who surrounded him were still evenly matched. Alas! Especially since these four men could be seen to be among the few fierce generals in the world. As for why they could be seen as such, have you ever seen ordinary generals use weapons as thick as a child's arm, or wield them like a wooden stick on the battlefield? If it were said that this was fake, would the clashing sounds of the soldiers' armor heard by tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides also be fake?

  Historically, Lü Bu was evenly matched with Liu, Guan and Zhang in battle. Now, facing four top-notch warriors, is it really possible that Qiu Shui is much stronger than Lü Bu?

  In fact, during the fight between Autumn Water and Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's physical strength was already close to its limit. After Guan Yu joined the battle, he had just fought against Hua Xiong for a hundred rounds, so his physical strength was not at its peak either. The two of them joined forces and fought against Autumn Water for another hundred rounds, by which time their physical strength had declined too much, and they could no longer exert their peak strength.

  The two of them now have a combined strength that is definitely stronger than Liu Bei's, but Dian Wei and Xu Chu have just joined Cao Cao's camp and are not yet very familiar with each other. The coordination between the two is not as outstanding as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so at this time, among the four of them, the two strongest are only slightly stronger than Lü Bu in the historical Three Heroes Battle.

  It's just that Akito's physical strength has always been at its peak, and although the four of them are now evenly matched with Akito, as soon as the opponent's physical strength declines, it will be Akito's turn to take control.

  Cao Cao, seeing that his two newly acquired brave generals had only managed to fight to a draw, feared for the safety of his beloved generals and hastily said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly capture Autumn Water. Once Dong Zhuo loses his claws and teeth, how can he be a match for us feudal lords?"

  Yuan Shao heard Cao Cao's words and knew this was a great opportunity. He imagined that after leading the attack to break through Tiger Trap Pass, would the world not admire him? At that time, his name would spread throughout the land.

  At this moment, Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao's anxious appearance and loudly shouted: "Come on, send Yan Liang and Wen Chou to the front line to fight!"

  Knock knock!

  "Yan Liang of Hebei has arrived to accept the challenge!" At this time, two more generals with ferocious faces rushed out from the allied army's camp, both wielding a long spear, majestic and powerful.

  Hiss! When the soldiers of both armies heard the names of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they were shocked in their hearts. To know that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's fame was not obvious, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou's names had long been rumored throughout the world. These two men were all million-enemy generals under Yuan Shao's account!

  "You insolent whelp! How dare you be so shameless?! I, Lü Bu, have come to fight you!" A loud bellow echoed across the battlefield.
