Kurajeong Ferry.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd and rode a red rabbit horse.

Behind him were a thousand cavalry of the Cao Army, heavily armed on war horses.

Far away from them was the 20,000 Yuan army led by Yuan Tan.

There was a long trench between the two armies.

The trench is not very wide, and the war horse can jump directly from it at a gallop, but it is generally impossible for a person to cross it with a human jumping force.

Looking at Lu Bu on the other side of the trench, Yuan Tan asked behind him, "Who is going to take Lu Bu for me?" ”

Although there were many generals following Yuan Tan, none of them dared to respond.

Glancing back, Yuan Tan frowned and asked, "Isn't there anyone who dares to step forward to capture Lu Bu?" ”

The generals all bowed their heads.

Lu Bu is the fierce general of the world, not to mention them, even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not serve Cao Shuo, they would not be Lu Bu's opponent alone.

No one dared to step forward to challenge Lu Bu, and there was a trench between the two sides, and Yuan Tan's face was very ugly.

"Lu Bu dug a trench, and if our soldiers want to attack, they can only build planks on it." Simbi said: "The enemy army will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, and then our army will suffer a lot of losses. ”

"What's the solution?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Only charge with cavalry first, wait until you are entangled with Lu Bu, and then the infantry will kill later." Xin Bi said: "Lu Bu has made arrangements, and casualties in this battle are inevitable. ”

Looking at Lu Bu and his subordinate soldiers, Yuan Tan's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't care about how many casualties there are, I only care about whether I can break Lu Bu or not." ”

"Pass the order, the cavalry will attack!" He raised his arm and shouted.

Trumpets sounded.

The cavalry of the Yuan army came out one after another.

The Yuan family in Hebei guards the north all the year round, although there are not many cavalry like the original Gongsun family, the scale of the Yuan family's cavalry is not small.

The cavalry that followed Yuan Tan on the expedition was two or three thousand.

After coming out of the formation, they marched forward in formation.

Yuan Jun attacked, and Lu Bu also raised his arm.

The soldiers of the Cao army took their longbows from their backs one after another, and set up arrows to aim at the advancing Yuan army.

The cavalry of the Yuan army walked to a place dozens of steps away from the trench and stopped.

"Attack!" The general's weapon, who was at the forefront, pointed forward and gave the order to attack.

Due to the presence of trenches, it was impossible for the cavalry to launch a full-scale attack as in an open field.

The cavalry of the Yuan army rushed out in waves in horizontal columns.

The distance between the first column and the second column was maintained at a distance of more than ten paces, and when the first column of cavalry crossed the trench, the second column would not follow and crash into it.

The cavalry of the Yuan army launched an attack, and the soldiers of the Cao army waited for Lu Bu to give an order.

Staring at the cavalry of the Yuan army rushing over, Lu Bu raised his right hand high.

When the Yuan army at the front was about to ride his horse and rush through the trench, Lu Bu pressed his arm and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

With Lu Bu's order, the soldiers of the Cao army loosened their bowstrings one after another.

Bowstrings burst, and countless arrows whistled out.

The cavalry of the Yuan army, who were riding their horses and leaping over the trench, were suddenly covered by arrows.

Some of the horsemen leaped into the air, and their belts were shot with arrows, and they fell into the trenches.

The cavalry of the Yuan army in the charge fell one after another under the rain of arrows of the Cao army.

The first cavalry rushed through the trench in no more than half of them.

The follow-up cavalry rushed up, and when they jumped over the trench, they collided with the first wave of cavalry who rushed in front but were already in disarray, and became a live target for Cao's soldiers.

Although the cavalry of the Yuan army fell in pieces, more Yuan troops still swarmed to kill the Cao army.

Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, Lu Bu drew a halberd and roared: "Kill!" ”

took the lead in riding his horse and rushed out, and by the time the Cao army soldiers followed closely and launched a charge, Lu Bu had already killed a large number of them.

Yuan Jun, who rushed through the trench, saw Lu Bu killed, and he was a little panicked in his heart, for fear that Lu Bu would rush towards him.

Yuan Jun, who was facing Lu Bu, dodged to both sides.

As soon as they dodged, the Yuan Jun array, which was still somewhat orderly, suddenly became a little chaotic.

Lu Bu, who rushed towards Yuan Jun with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, soon found that what was in front of him was not Yuan Jun who was waiting for him, but a straight avenue that Yuan Jun had given him.

Lu Bu, who rushed towards Yuan Jun, felt a little funny.

The two sides had not yet started a war, and the other side had already shown fear because of his bravery.

Contrary to Yuan's army, the morale of the Cao army who rushed up was like a rainbow.

They shouted, pointed forward with their blades in their hands, and the horse's hooves rolled up puffs of dust and smoke like thunder, rushing towards the Yuan army, which had not yet completely crossed the trench.

The Cao army in the charge ran into the Yuan army who was still on the edge of the trench.

Both sides are cavalry, but if one side stops and the other side collides with the thunderous momentum, the side that stops must be greatly impacted.

Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Cao army rushed up, Lu Bu also killed in the Yuan army.

The general of the Yuan army, who led the cavalry of the Yuan army to rush through the trench first, only felt a wind rolling from the back of his head.

When he looked back, Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd had already slammed towards the back of his neck.

Pity this general of the Yuan army, he didn't even see Lu Bu clearly, and his head moved from his neck.

On the other side of the trench, the cavalry of the Yuan army, which had not yet rushed over, stationed their horses one after another, watching their companions being slaughtered by the Cao army.

The Yuan army, which had already rushed through the trench, fell one after another under the attack of Cao's army.

Some of the Yuan soldiers fell into the trenches during the retreat, and were shot with bows and arrows by the Cao army who followed.

The battle did not develop as Yuan Tan had envisioned.

The Yuan infantry did not have time to charge, and even the cavalry did not fully rush through the trench, and the battle was already over.

Standing on the edge of the trench, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd and pointed at Yuan Tan in the distance.

The soldiers of the Cao army raised their weapons high behind him, and let out bursts of cheers after victory.

The slain cavalry of the Yuan army fell to the ground, and some of the war horses that died in the battle lay quietly at the feet of Cao Jun with them.

There were also horses that were badly wounded but did not die, lying on the ground struggling and neighing miserably.

More horses lost their owners.

Without their owners, they blindly scattered and soon disappeared from people's sight.

The main formation of the Yuan army came out with the sound of gold.

The cavalry of the Yuan army in front of the trench retreated one after another.

Not a single person turned back.

The tragic battle happened in front of their eyes, and they witnessed the slaughter of their former companions by the Cao army, and the cavalry of the Yuan army who were still alive were terrified, how dare they look back and take a second look.

Looking at Lu Bu from afar, seeing him pointing at himself with a halberd, Yuan Tan's face became even more ugly.

"Gongzi ......" failed to attack for the first time, Xin Bi also felt a little guilty in his heart, and he said to Yuan Tan: "Lu Bu is heavily defended, it is better to stay down first and wait for the changes." Sima Yi led the army to come here, to say the least, it will take three or five days, we still have plenty of time. ”

Yuan Tan didn't say anything.

Sima Yi led the army to Cangting, and it did take three or five days, but the time left for him was not that long.
