Chapter 148: Why don't you take on the challenge
LΓΌ Bu finally established a strategy of raiding on all fronts.
The rising sun poked its head out of the horizon, the golden morning light spread over the earth, and the edges of the green blades of grass were also inlaid with a golden halo.
The tall red rabbit carried the burly Lu Bu, a man and a horse like a statue bathed in the morning light.
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun gathered around him, and behind them were 20,000 soldiers of the three armies who were neatly dressed and armored, and their morale was high.
Xun You and the others didn't expect Lu Bu to give the order to fight so early, and they got up a little late.
Hurriedly coming to Lu Bu's side, Xun You asked, "Wen Hou plans to attack now?" β
"If you don't attack now, when will you wait?" Staring ahead, Lu Bu responded indifferently.
He raised his weapon and pointed forward: "The three armies obey the order, follow me!" β
Lu Bu gave an order, and the army immediately moved forward.
The horn sounded for a long time, the war horses were like warriors like tigers, and the 20,000 troops marched in the direction of Shouchun with neat steps.
The grass swayed and danced gracefully in the breeze, but the soldiers did not know the slightest pity for trampling their waists.
The footsteps were steady and roaring, and the earth trembled in the footsteps.
The Huainan Army, which got up early in the morning, was still living and cooking, and the sound of the horn in the distance shocked everyone.
Zhang Xun ran out of the tent, and the guards helped him put on his armor.
Looking at the direction where the sound of the horn came, Zhang Xun shouted: "The enemy army is coming, and the whole army is on alert!" β
The rice had not yet been cooked, but the officers and men of the Huainan Army had no time to wait.
More than 20,000 people lined up in a large array, waiting for the approaching army of Lu Bu.
Knowing that Lu Bu is powerful, every Huainan army in the array is very nervous, and many people even have sweaty palms, which are slippery and greasy, and even the weapons cannot be held steadily.
Chen Zhi ran out of the tent, and before he had time to wash, he got directly on the war horse that he brought with him.
He came to Zhang Xun's side with a halberd: "Lu Fengxian actually attacked our army so early......
"The two armies are equal in number, but the morale of Lu Fengxian's command is high." Zhang Xun frowned: "If he attacks, how should our army respond?" β
"With me here, the general can rest assured." Chen Zhi replied.
When he said this before, he was still full of confidence.
However, after fighting with Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi was also very confused.
Zhao Yun is no longer something he can easily deal with, let alone Lu Bu, who is burdened with the reputation of the world's number one fierce general?
Also feeling confused is Zhang Xun.
He and Yang Hong had full confidence in Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi's battle with Zhao Yun was the first decent battle of the Huainan Army in a long time, but it also made him see the gap between him and Lu Bu.
Since Ji Ling joined Lu Bu, there has been a lack of generals in the Huainan army who can lead troops.
But even if Ji Ling didn't leave, with his martial arts, he was not the opponent of any fierce general in Lu Bu's army.
Facing Lu Bu, Huainan had almost no chance of winning!
Chen Zhi's appearance made Yang Hong and Zhang Xun feel that they had grasped a life-saving straw.
But Zhao Yun's battle made Zhang Xun realize that the power of this straw was really small, so small that as long as he grabbed it, the straw would sink to the bottom with them......
The Huainan army waited in formation, and it didn't take long for them to see battle flags appear in the distance.
The battle flag fluttered, and the army of black pressure advanced in this direction.
Where there is fighting, death is always accompanied, and the officers and men of the Huainan Army in the array do not know what awaits them.
But they knew very well that after a later battle, many people would lie in this desolate clearing, never to see the blue sky again.
LΓΌ Bu led the army forward.
Coming to a place only three or four hundred steps away from the Huainan army, he raised his arm.
The soldiers then stopped.
With a neat stamping of feet, the scene was suddenly filled with a thick cloud of smoke.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the figures of the soldiers gradually became clear in the field of vision of the Huainan Army.
"Wen Hou didn't make any deployments, did he plan to attack?" Xun You asked Lu Bu.
Unable to look at him, Lu Bu did not respond, but ordered the junior colonel behind him: "Challenge Zhang Xun on my behalf." β
The junior colonel rode out and came to a distance of only one or twenty steps from the Huainan Army: "Listen to Zhang Xun, my Wenhou asks you, do you dare to fight him?" β
Lu Bu is famous for his bravery, and although Zhang Xun commands the Huainan army, how dare he fight with Lu Bu.
"I'm not Lu Bu's opponent, but General Chen is the ...... of the three armies," Zhang Xun looked at Chen Dao.
He didn't explicitly say that he would invite Chen Zhi to fight, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.
Knowing that Zhang Xun had a prejudice against him, Chen Zhi also knew that if he didn't go out to fight, he would never be able to raise his head and be a man in the Huainan Army from now on.
"I'll go!" Knowing that there was no way out, Chen Zhi had no choice but to go into battle.
"Congratulations to General Chen for killing Lu Bu!" He was willing to fight, and Zhang Xun was immediately overjoyed.
Chen Zhi was extremely miserable in his heart.
Even Zhao Yun can't win, and fighting with Lu Bu, I'm afraid it won't be a good result for him.
When the general goes into battle, the most terrible thing is not that his martial arts are inferior to others, but that he has less courage before he fights.
Chen is facing such a dilemma at this time.
It's a pity that he can't say it, and Zhang Xun won't ask.
Riding his horse out of battle, Chen Zhi shouted to the junior colonel who came to challenge Lu Bu: "What kind of character is Lu Fengxian?" Where is it worth the personal intervention of my general? Go back and tell him I'm here to fight. If he has the courage, he will come to fight with me, if he doesn't dare, take the troops back as soon as possible, and don't set foot in Huainan half a step again! β
Chen Dao's words were full of confidence, and the soldiers of the Huainan Army let out a burst of laughter.
The little school sent by Lu Bu to challenge had a very bad face.
He didn't reply, turned around and left.
"Don't forget to tell Lu Bu that if he really wants to leave, I will leave him a way to live, and if I don't kill him, I just don't kill him." Chen Zhi shouted at the back of the little school with his voice raised.
The little school didn't come back, and left quickly.
Lu Bu didn't say anything after listening to Xiao Xiao's retelling, but Xun You said to him: "Uncle Chen is too unreasonable, what kind of character is Wen Hou, doesn't he know?" Dare to be so provocative, even if Wen Hou can bear it, I can't help it! β
Xun You's words were sarcastic, how could Lu Bu not hear it?
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's faces were very bad, but Li Dian and Xu Huang were proud.
"I have some benefits on my tongue, do I still have to deal with others?" Lu Bu was calm, he grinned at Xun You: "If Xun Gong can't look past it, why don't you personally go into battle and bring Chen Shuzhi's head?" β
Lu Bu spoke lightly, but everyone present could hear the meaning of his words.
Chen Zhi could only speak as fast as he could, and if Xun You challenged him, he would die more and live less, and there would be no chance of winning at all.
I was going to provoke Lu Bu, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed by him, and Xun You's face became unnatural for a moment.
Xu Huang and Li Dian, who were still triumphant just now, their faces also sank suddenly.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and the soldiers next to them looked a lot better than just now.
