Vol 4 Chapter 14 (2/2)

As I thought so, a long spear suddenly appeared in my eyes and I hurriedly bent back as the spear missed my neck by a hair’s breadth.

“40 marks, that’s all that dodge of yours was worth.” Before I could recover from my shock, the one with the spear at the side said.

“Yue Jin?! … Ah, or is it Li Dian?”

“It’s Yue Jin of course. Man Cheng would never dress as casually as I do.” Yue Jin raised her spear and flicked her hair, “And Man Cheng doesn’t braid her hair either.”

d.a.m.n it, now I have to deal with one more? I’m not in the right frame of mind and I now have to deal with attacks from 2 people.

… This is a little troublesome.

Kuh, no choice.

Haa! I yelled out and the 2 immediately got into a guarding stance. I charged over and swung a feint at them. They had lowered their guard as they had a numerical advantage which increased their susceptibility to my feint which confused them.

A chance!

“Everyone!!! Follow my charge!” I turned my horse and brought the several dozen cavalry left with me and charged through the surround led by Yue Jin and Xu Huang.

After a long, hard slog, we finally broke through Cao Cao’s surround completely. But we only realised we were lost after we broke through and didn’t know which direction we should head in.

“Do any of you know where my big brother is?!” I turned and yelled between pants.

Naturally, no one had a reply.

Kuh, what do I do now?

Where is big brother?!

“Everyone, ready your weapons and follow my charge.” I turned the horse again and got ready to charge back in. I turned my head and saw that no one was following my lead, “What are you all…”

“Lord Zhang Fei, it took all we had to break out. The troops are exhausted to point of death, how are we supposed to charge in again?” A 300-man general said in exasperation, “And Cao Cao’s surround is so expansive, how are we supposed to find Lord Liu Bei in the chaos?”

I stood rooted to the spot, and did not know how to reply him.

… Un…

“Hai!!” I spat out a sigh and stuck my Serpent Spear into the ground in helpless frustration.
