Chapter 227: The Duel of the Powerful (I)
The gate was wide open, Lu Bu led the generals to line up in front of the battalion, all the cavalry, the front row was Lu Bu and his generals Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and other generals, all of them were heavily armoured, horses were wearing armor, and the army was extremely strong.
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth were slightly raised, and he signaled the generals with his hands not to move, lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and rode the red rabbit horse slowly to the formation.
When the generals of the Lu army saw Lu Bu's actions, Wei Xu smiled and said, "The general is going to repeat his old tricks and weaken the enemy's spirit." ”
The rest of the generals nodded when they heard this, Hou Cheng and Song Xian had the best relationship with Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng answered: "A few days ago, Cao Cao saw General Lu riding out of the camp alone, and he didn't dare to come to see him, and I didn't expect Xu Chu to dare to do it today." ”
Yesterday, Cao Cao led the main force to attack, and Lu Bu rode alone to call for battle between the two formations as now, but Cao Cao ignored it and directly launched a general attack, which was said by Hou Cheng.
The soul of the soldiers, although Lu Bu's move is 'the courage of the horseman' in the eyes of some people, it is indeed a good way to boost the morale of his own side and suppress the morale of the enemy army when he is about to fight and fight.
Lu Bu had the courage of 'ghosts and gods', and Cao Cao didn't want to risk his life to see him, so when Lu Bu came out to call for battle, he immediately launched an attack to avoid the morale of the soldiers being frustrated.
In fact, looking at the world, only a few people such as Lu Bu can have this deterrent effect, Cao Cao himself is a person with outstanding martial arts and a lot of courage, such as Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and others, Cao Cao also stepped forward and talked and laughed with him.
......
Cao Cao lived in the middle of the battle, watching the battle. His troops were so tired from the attack that he could not fight again today, but for the sake of safety, he still ordered his troops and horses to line up in front of him, in case of emergency. Seeing Lu Bu's old tricks repeated, Cao Cao was not angry, and said with a smile: "Lu Fengxian's move is to damage the morale of our department, and second, to take a closer look at the situation in our army...... But today's lord is Xu Hou, and he will not let him succeed easily. ”
Lou Yi, who was riding a horse and accompanying him, asked: "Lu Bu's martial arts, the subordinates have seen it clearly during the battle in the past two days, and it can be described as 'the best in the world', the general said that Xu Hou will not let him succeed, can Xu Hou still go to fight with Lu Bu?" ”
Cao Cao glanced at Lou Yi and said, "Qing's martial arts, how is it better than his son's filial piety?" ”
"It's better to be ashamed."
"How about Bizhiyuan?"
"It's not as good as that."
"After seeing Xu Hou's martial arts, Ran Zixiao and Yuan Rang both said that Xu Hou was infinitely powerful and was a natural general. In my opinion, today's battle may be the time when Xu Hou justified himself on the battlefield. ”
Lou Yi was secretly frightened, staring ahead and silent.
......, Xu Chu over there saw Lu Bu stepping out of the battle, and his heart was slightly cold. Since coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty and inheriting the innate divine power of the 'Tiger Idiot', in fact, he has not had the opportunity to hone his martial arts, and the enemies he has faced before have no famous brave generals in the world. Although he beheaded the Yellow Turban giant He Yi and the Niu Auxiliary General Hu Chi'er, these two people are very different from Lu Bu, and they are not the same.
Weakness of heart is inevitable, but just as Cao Cao guessed, Xu Chu didn't want to weaken his courage before tens of thousands of people. Cao Cao has a family background and a reputation, although he has martial arts, but in the end he relies on things other than martial arts. And what about him? Born in a small background, a big reason why the three armies are salty is because of his great reputation, so when the two armies face off today, he can't make people feel afraid of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu had reached the middle of the two armies and shouted at his side: "Where is the Marquis of Zhaowu?" Buwen Jun and Marquis bravely crowned the three armies, called the Yuzhou Tigers, can you dare to come to the battle today? ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Lu army waved their flags and shouted, and the sound shook the sky.
Xu Chu was silent in the array, and the needle drop could be heard.
Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Junhou, the Lu thief is rampant, and if he wants to be brave, we can attack it quickly!" ”
Guan Yu lightly clamped the horse's belly, half a horse's head beyond everyone, and turned his head to look at Xu Chu, "Guan is willing to fight with this fang." ”
Zhang Fei also patted his horse out of the queue and looked at Xu Chu with an inquiring gaze.
Xu Chu saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and thought of countermeasures. In the current situation, if it is a way to let Guan and Zhang fight against Lu Bu, but it is still the same sentence, Lu Bu is shouting at him, if he is a scribe, or a 'Confucian general' who is not known for his bravery, he can ignore it, but he can't and doesn't want to do so.
"Miaocai, filial piety."
Xu Chu summoned Xiahou Yuan and Li Cheng to the front of the horse, and said softly: "Wait for me to fight with Lu Bu to Shihe, and you will beat the drum of attack at equal speed." ”
Li Cheng was taken aback, and said, "The prince really wants to go to Dou Lu Bu?" ”
"The one who Lu Bu is fighting is his bravery, if I can fight with him regardless of victory or defeat, the morale of the soldiers of the Lu army will be weak, and attacking at this time should have a miraculous effect."
Listening to Xu Chu's words, Xiahou Yuan nodded, and then shook his head again: "Having said that, if the prince and the marquis fail, won't we become sinners." ”
Xu Chu simply said it all over, and laughed: "Miaocai, although Lu Bu has the best martial arts in the world, Benhou is also a hero in the world!" As he spoke, he pointed obliquely, "Between Liang Pei, he is known to be heroic, not only the Jun family and Zhu Cao!" ”
Xiahou Yuan and the generals were greatly encouraged when they saw Xu Chu's high-spirited demeanor, he rode his horse and galloped in front of the formation, and shouted to the sergeants in the formation: "The three armies listen to the order, wave the flag and beat the drums, and be majestic for the prince!" ”
The drums beat loudly.
Over there, Lu Bu and others saw that Xu Chu was silent in the formation, thinking that he did not dare to go out of the battle like Cao Cao, and was secretly slandering Xu Chu as cowardly as a mouse, and even dared to call himself the Yuzhou Tiger, at this time they heard the sound of drums, and listened carefully, not the drums of the three armies entering the war, such as Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, Gao Shun and other generals were all surprised and happy, and they were surprised that Xu Chu really dared to go out of the battle, and was happy that with Lu Bu's bravery, Xu Chu could be directly beheaded, so today's war needless to say, it must be a great victory for their own side.
Lu Bu watched a person rushing out of the enemy formation in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
How many years, since the Hu people he killed in Bingzhou bowed down to his ears, how many years has no one dared to attack him! He smiled heartily, and did not drive the horse to greet him, but gently touched the mane of the red rabbit horse, waiting for Xu Chu to come over.
Lu Butuo is big, how strong is the power of the war horse charge, if he drives the red rabbit horse to Xu Chu, a face may be able to make Xu Chu suffer a big loss, after all, if the power of impact, there is no good horse in the world that can compete with the red rabbit! But in his heart, he had some 'contempt' for Xu Chu and other Kwantung princes, and what about Cao Cao, who once lived in the rank of Captain of the Cavalry and the Eighth School of the West Garden? Don't you even have the courage to go into battle?
In Xu Chu's eyes, the importance of Lu Bu is incomparable, the cold glow of the tip of the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his pupils is getting stronger and stronger, and Xu Chu's hand holding the long lance is getting tighter and tighter.
When he was about to fight, the soul of the tiger idiot seemed to come back to his body.
He clenched the lance in both hands and stabbed at Lu Bu with all his might. The tip of the lance was sharp, but it also sounded in Lu Bu's ears to break the sky, Lu Bu suddenly felt a slight chill in his heart, his wrist shook, and the halberd slashed towards the tip of the lance, but he couldn't swing away Xu Chu's long-standing full force blow!
The people in the Lu, Cao, and Xu armies who were watching the battle were stunned for a while, and Xu Zhongkang's ability was so good?
In the middle of the military formation, Cao Cao was touching his beard, and under the nervousness, he unconsciously pulled off a few roots, still unknown the pain, and said to the left and right in a daze: "Under the fame, there is no vanity!" ”
......, Lu Bu was also shocked, the power contained in Xu Chu's lance, because of the blessing of the impulse of the war horse, was more violent than Dian Wei under the command of Xu Bu who fought with him that day, and he used a halberd split with sixty percent of his strength, but he couldn't stop it. But Lu Bu is Lu Bu after all, and when the tip of the lance was approaching, he suddenly turned sideways, and the cold light brushed his armor, only in the slightest.
The crowd and horses were staggered, Xu Chu paused in his momentum, turned his horse's head to look at Lu Bu, and laughed loudly: "Lu Fengxian, you can know the heroes of the world today, and you are not alone!" ”
Lu Bu suffered a dark loss, but most of the soldiers of the two armies who watched the battle did not know, so when Xu Chu's words echoed on the battlefield, it became the Lu army's flag and drum, and the soldiers of Xu Jun shouted loudly, and the cheers resounded in the sky.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that their blood was swollen, and they both said in their hearts: How good it would be if I fought with Lu Bu. Both of them are ten thousand enemies, so it is not surprising that they have this idea, and the rest of the generals of the Xu army are more worried than excited.
Just when everyone was thinking differently, they saw the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch neighing and jumping high!
