ten…foot spear called Serpent Halberd。 Each too had a helmet and full armor。
When weapons were ready； the troop； now five hundred strong； marched to mander Zhou Jing； who presented them to Imperial Protector Liu Yan。 When the ceremony of introduction was over； Liu Bei declared his ancestry； and Liu Yan at once accorded him the esteem due to a relation。
Before many days it was announced that the rebellion had actually broken out； and a Yellow Scarves chieftain； Cheng Yuanzhi； had invaded the region with a body of fifty thousand rebels。 Liu Yan bade Zhou Jing and the three brothers to go out to oppose them with the five hundred troops。 Liu Bei joyfully undertook to lead the van and marched to the foot of the Daxing Hills where they saw the rebels。 The rebels wore their hair flying about their shoulders； and their foreheads were bound with yellow scarves。
When the two armies had been drawn up opposite each other； Liu Bei rode to the front； Guan Yu to his left； Zhang Fei to his right。
Flourishing his whip； Liu Bei began to hurl reproaches at the rebels； crying； 〃O malcontents！ Why not dismount and be bound？〃
Their leader Cheng Yuanzhi； full of rage； sent out one general； Deng Mao； to begin the battle。 At once rode forward Zhang Fei； his serpent halberd poised to strike。 One thrust and Deng Mao rolled off his horse； pierced through the heart。 At this Cheng Yuanzhi himself whipped up his steed and rode forth with sword raised ready to slay Zhang Fei。 But Guan Yu swung up his ponderous green…dragon saber and rode at Cheng Yuanzhi。 At the sight； fear seized upon Cheng Yuanzhi； and before he could defend himself； the great saber fell； cutting him in halves。
Two heroes new to war's alarms；
Ride boldly forth to try their arms。
