Chapter 3 Beacon Flames 21. Like Gathers Things

Yanzhou, Jiyin County, a suburb of Chengshi County.

The icy night wind ravaged the people of the wilderness mercilessly.

The painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand trembled slightly by his grip, although he was already overwhelmed by anger at this time, his expression was unusually calm.

Diao Chan stood right beside him, holding a rapier in his hand, biting his lip lightly.

The day has finally come. The two most cherished men in her life are finally going to face each other.

Originally, Lu Bu's men had the advantage in numbers, but because of the confrontation with Cao Cao for more than 100 days, most of the soldiers had already been wounded, and some were even unable to fight anymore.

On Zhang Feng's side, the mountain rangers and the officers and soldiers of the Cheng clan who were summoned by Li Jin did not experience any major battles.

The two sides looked at each other so quietly, but this short period of silence was broken by Zhang Feng.

He suddenly raised the crossbow in his hand and shot at Lu Bu.

The arrow stopped an inch in front of Lu Bu, and for him, this kind of frontal provocation did not pose any threat.

Li Jin naturally understood that he couldn't keep spending like this, after all, these patchwork men and horses were too much worse than the soldiers who had fought together under Lu Bu for many years.

He raised his hand and motioned for the attack.

Unlike the regular army, these idle rangers prefer to fight in a haphazard manner.

Two teams of men and horses armed with bows and crossbows galloped quickly to the left and right, gradually surrounding Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

They began to shoot haphazardly, and the arrows flew irregularly towards the enemy in the middle.

The composition of Lu Bu's troops was mainly the wolf cavalry battalion and the Shenbow battalion, and they were not equipped with shields, and only the infantry camp would be equipped with simple wooden shields.

The infantry quickly came to the perimeter and formed a defensive circle. Just because the infantry was the camp with the most wounded, a considerable number of soldiers were shot.

Most of the generals were hidden in the center of the formation, and because of their quick reactions, they were not injured.

At the end of the first round of arrow rain, Cao Xuan saw the timing and issued an order for the infantry to squat slightly, while the Shenbow battalion all began to pull the strings and return fire at an astonishing speed.

Li Jin couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, the archery skills of this divine bow camp were so exquisite, although the crossbowmen on his side were running fast, they could actually hit with arrows.

"Withdraw!" Li Jin saw that the crossbowmen could not get any bargains, so he ordered them to withdraw to avoid unnecessary losses.

Then, he ordered the men with long soldiers to advance, more than half of Lu Bu's men were wounded, and if they fought, Li Jin believed that these men should be able to gain the advantage.

And Lu Bu is waiting for this moment.

Among the soldiers beside him, many cavalry suddenly appeared. This was trained by Cheng Lian when he had nothing to do, so that all cavalrymen had to be able to master that when facing the enemy's archers, not only men but also horses had to hide.

Just now, when the infantry formed a circular shield formation, the cavalry quietly calmed down the horses. At this time, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu saw that the crossbowmen had retreated, so they immediately beckoned their cavalry to stand up with their horses and began to charge the enemy's long troops.

The long-suppressed emotions in Cheng Lian and Wei Xu's hearts were finally released. When defending the city before, because they led cavalry, the two of them were strictly forbidden by Lu Bu to participate in the battle, and this time they were finally able to fight heartily.

However, as if it had been arranged in advance, the enemy's long army camp suddenly crouched down, stood up diagonally with the sword and spear in his hand like antlers defending the city, and plunged the tail into the ground. And Li Jin gave the order again, and the hundreds of rangers behind him actually took out two lassoes each, rushed out and threw them at the rushing cavalry.

As the horses' hooves continued to be trapped, more and more wolf cavalry warriors fell off their horses, and then tripped over those who came from behind.

Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were also hit, they were thrown to the ground, and Cheng Lian even broke his arm.

Chen Gong was about to command the infantry to advance, but was stopped by Lu Bu's cold eyes. He naturally understood what Lu Bu meant—in the battle of life and death, there was no need to continue to preserve their strength.

Lu Bu retracted his gaze and nodded to Gao Shun instead.

As soon as Gao Shun arched his hand on the horse, he said in a low voice: "Trap the camp, charge." ”

It's been a long time since the trapped camp has participated in a battle, and the reason is that Lu Bu believes that this strong force should not be lost in some small places.

At this time, they can no longer be kept, because once this battle is lost, there will be no future.

Wrapped in jet-black armor, the trap camp led the horse to avoid the lasso on the opposite side. When they rushed to the enemy's side, only four or five people were hit. The rest of the companions began to slaughter the rope throwers.

Lu Bu watched from a distance, still without any expression on his face. Diao Chan looked up, Lu Bu was so unfamiliar.

Since the killing of Puyang, Lu Bu's heart has changed dramatically - his heart of compassion for the common people has died.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng suggested to Li Jin that all the men and horses attack, so all the ambushed rangers and officers and soldiers joined the battle.

Of course, Lu Bu understood the situation at this time, and there was no way to retreat, so he also let everyone press it.

10,000 miscellaneous troops against more than 20,000 wounded soldiers, shouts of killing completely broke the silence of the night. With the screams one after another, the number of people on both sides was quickly consumed.

On both sides of the huge battle group, Lu Bu and Zhang Feng stared at each other.

Suddenly, Zhang Feng began to walk diagonally around the fighting crowd and quickly ran towards Lu Bu.

Diao Chan's heart tightened, and he wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Lu Bu with his hand.

"Since there is no way to avoid it, then come." Lu Bu said in an emotionless voice.

Diao Chan lowered her head and covered her chest with her hands, the feeling of worry, sadness, and despair that made her almost suffocate.

But in the next moment, she was startled by the wind that suddenly swept around her—Lu Bu acted.

The halberd roared back and forth, and Lu Bu ran faster than Zhang Feng to fight.

Just when the two of them were still about twenty steps, Zhang Feng suddenly stopped and shot at Lu Bu three times in a row at extremely fast speed.

Lu Bu used his feet hard, and he quickly changed his body shape as he ran, dodging the flying arrows.

Zhang Feng was naturally not stupid enough to fight Lu Bu head-on, he still remembered the lesson of being punched by Lu Bu and breaking the bones of his forearm.

He also added strength to his feet, keeping an appropriate distance from Lu Bu and constantly winding up and shooting.

However, he faced Lu Bu.

Zhao Yun once said: The highest level of martial arts is the pursuit of strength and speed, give up one of them, and the other can be brought into full play.

There is really such a person in this world who can train both to the strongest at the same time, and this person is Lu Bu.

It is as fierce as a tiger, and it is as fast as a leopard, just as Duan Xuan said when he named the tiger and leopard ride, and so did Lu Bu.

While dodging arrows, he was also getting closer to Zhang Feng. Eventually, Zhang Feng entered his attack range.

Fang Tian's halberd was swung like a sea of mountains, and Zhang Feng no longer had time to put on the arrow. He simply threw away the crossbow and took out the chain blade, trying to use his assassination skills to fight against Lu Bu.

With a flash of coldness, the dagger of the chain blade flew out and stabbed directly into Lu Bu's throat.

Lu Bu grabbed it at an astonishing speed, and before Zhang Feng could react, Lu Bu pulled vigorously and took Zhang Feng to fly.

In order to prevent weapons from being snatched away, Zhang Feng usually ties them to his arms. And Lu Bu also saw this clearly when Zhang Feng made a move just now, so he took advantage of it.

Zhang Feng was caught by Lu Bu with one hand like a child, and then he was dragged by Lu Bu with one hand and lifted up, and then slammed on the ground.

Behind him, Diao Chan couldn't help but let out an exclamation. But for Lu Bu now, it will undoubtedly only stimulate him more.

Lu Bu stepped on Zhang Feng's back with one foot, and grabbed Zhang Feng's right arm with his right hand.

Then, Lu Bu slowly exerted force and began to turn the arm in his hand.

"Ahh ~~~~~~" The heart-rending wails resounded through the field, and many of the people in the fighting crowd stopped and stared blankly.

"Bongxian! Let him go! Diao Chan finally couldn't help it and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"If I let him go, will he let me go?" Lu Bu's expression was still cold.

"Hehe, dream! Yes! ~~~~~~" Zhang Feng just wanted to say a few words, but the sharp pain from his right shoulder made his eyes black and he fainted.

It turned out that Lu Bu was enraged by his words, and forcibly ripped off his right arm.

Diao Chan was so frightened that she collapsed and sat down on the ground.

At this moment, the voices of many horses were heard from the north, and everyone looked nervously over there.

Now, if reinforcements come from either side, the other side will surely be wiped out.

As the voices rang from far and near, everyone could see the centaur clearly - they were not wearing armor, but they had a yellow cloth tied around their heads.

They shouted in unison, closing in. And when their voices could be heard clearly, everyone's mouths opened in surprise.

For there were only sixteen words that came into their ears:

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.

Yellow Turban Thief!

I can't imagine that these people are not dead yet.

One of the leaders had a long scar on his face, and his eyes were ruined because of the injury.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Lu Bu asked with a hint of caution.

"I've seen Wen Hou. Under is the original Yefeng Hebei Branch, the thirteen sages and the old seats, the night handsome - Tang Zhou. The man replied respectfully.

This name surprised everyone present.

At the beginning, because of his betrayal, Zhang Jiao was forced to act in advance, and finally failed.

Why did such a traitor come here, and why did the remnants of the Yellow Turbans want to follow him?

Lu Bu was slightly puzzled, so he looked at him again. When he saw his eyes, Lu Bu finally understood the purpose of his trip.

Because at this moment, Tang Zhou was staring intently at Zhang Feng, who was bleeding under his feet.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu threw Zhang Feng's torn arm aside, and then he unconsciously grabbed the halberd in his hand.
