31. 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 octane-serpent halberd poised to strike.

32. One thrust and Deng Mao rolled off his horse, pierced through the heart.

33. 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

Ride boldly forth to try their arms.
Their doughty deeds three kingdoms tell,
And poets sing how these befell.
