Chapter 230: Lu Bu retreats
Wei Yue's death aroused infinite anger in Lu Bu's heart, because Wei Yue was not only an extremely capable general of his, but also because Wei Yue was his confidant, a very considerate subordinate.
Seeing Lu Bu angrily, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "You, a family slave with three surnames, are also angry about the death of your subordinates?" β
His voice was like a bell, penetrating through the noisy battlefield, and everyone in the fierce battle could hear clearly, Lu Buhe had suffered such humiliation, and his face was hideous to fight Zhang Fei.
I have to mention that regarding Lu Bu's murder of Ding Yuan and his defection to Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Bugu is a capricious villain who betrays his lord and seeks glory. But in Lu Bu's own opinion, this is a very normal thing - before Ding Yuan was appointed as the assassin of the state, he had already been out of the county, but Ding Yuan promoted him to the position of the chief book in order to recruit him, because in Lu Bu's eyes, Ding Yuan was not his master, but he just liked his force, so he was better for him. Moreover, after coming to Dong Zhuo's side, the result was obvious, Lu Bu was directly promoted from the master book to the position of the general of the Tiger Ben, with more soldiers than before, and his status was higher than before, so he killed Ding Yuan, which is equivalent to 'abandoning the dark and turning to the light', what's wrong?
Because of this, as soon as the phrase 'three surnames of domestic slaves' came out in Zhang Fei's mouth, Lu Bu was so angry that he smoked.
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei both have the courage of ten thousand people, and they fight to a mess, just like a dragon fighting for a tiger.
Zhang Feili pulled out the mountain, the move was a fierce road, every spear down, contains great power, Lu Bu is proud of his bravery, but Xu Chu in the army in addition to himself and Dian Wei, there is a 'overlord lifting the crown' like a figure. After a few combinations, both sides were shocked by the huge power contained in the opponent's weapon, and they were shocked.
However, Zhang Fei knew that Lu Bu's 'flying general' was indeed not an idle person, although he would not fall behind at the moment, but if he dragged it back, whether it was riding, mounting, or martial arts, he was not as good as Lu Bu, and he would definitely be defeated.
Zhang Fei, who was not yet in his life, had the feeling of 'there is such a person in the world' for the first time in his life.
Guan Yu was worried about Zhang Fei's safety, and always paid attention to the duel between Lu and Zhang, and saw that Zhang Fei was gradually losing his support, so he rushed to help.
Seeing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's a good time! β
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked Lu Bu on the left and on the right. Guan Yu's sword posture is also very strong, but the difference between him and Zhang Fei is that Zhang Fei tried his best to move, but he used eight points of force and left two points of force, which was slightly insufficient compared to Zhang Fei's fierceness in the offensive, but the victory was endless, like a vast ocean, and the bottom was not visible.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both the strongest warriors in the world, even if they are Lu Bu, under the skillful cooperation of the two of them, they have also become clumsy. But Lu Bu finally lived up to the name of the flying general, and when he was strong, he was strong, Guan and Zhang's bravery inadvertently stimulated all the potential in his body, and a Fang Tian painting halberd wielded in all directions, no matter how Guan and Zhang attacked, they could not let it show its flaws. In addition, the god horse Red Rabbit under his crotch seemed to have the same heart with Lu Bu, dodging and moving, and there was a basis for advancing and retreating, and for a while, the three of them faintly fought into a draw, and no one could help anyone.
Lu Bu was the main general, and the rest of the Lu army generals saw that Lu Bu was being entangled, and they were surprised and worried about Lu Bu's safety, so they came to help in the war.
Since coming out of the mountain, Lu Bu has experienced countless battles, and those generals who have come to the state sooner or later, they have all fought at least more than ten battles with Lu Bu, and they have never experienced a situation like today when they need others to help Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's posture is firmly engraved in their hearts.
Seeing that the enemy abandoned the opponent one by one to help Lu Bu, Xu Chu, Li Quan, Xiahou Yuan and others also went to help Guan and Zhang.
For Lu Bu's side, this is a situation they have never encountered, the armored cavalry composed of these warriors has always been galloping through the city, invincible, and today they actually meet the opponent? For Xu Chu's side, it has greatly increased his confidence. Just imagine, Lu Bu and the state cavalry are known as the elite of the world, invincible, and they have repeatedly shined in the battle of Dong, so that the coalition forces can't find the north, but such a terrifying armored cavalry is now blocked by them, which is naturally something to be proud of.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, saw this situation and said in a surging tone: "Gong Liu, this battle will be defeated!" β
Gong Liu is Shi Lian's character.
At this time, on the battlefield, the two Lu cavalry were still constantly attacking the infantry formation, but the real key point was the duel between Lu Bu Zhuqi and Xu Chu Zhucai. If Lu Bu wins, he will be able to repeat his old tricks, continue to use this elite armored cavalry to repeatedly attack, three or four times back and forth, he can give Xu Chu's side an extremely heavy blow to the infantry formation, and it is more likely to break the gap and make the entire infantry formation collapse; However, if Lu Bu is not victorious, even if he has a slight upper hand, as long as he is entangled by Xu Chu, then the morale of the Lu army will also be severely defeated, and the soldiers will feel that since even the extremely brave General Lu cannot win, then the situation of this battle must be very unfavorable, needless to say.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Lu Bu, as the 'spokesperson' of the Dong Army, also has to consider the gains and losses of the Bingzhou Army, if this battle is won miserably, it will be an unbearable loss for Lu Bu. After Cao Cao saw the situation on the battlefield, he concluded that this battle would be overcome.
The development of the battle situation was just as Cao Cao expected, and after Lu Bu's armored cavalry and Xu Chu's elite cavalry were entangled for a while, Lu Bu finally took the initiative to retreat regardless of his strength. After he retreated to the formation, the fierce offensive of the two charging Lu cavalry gradually slowed down, and finally withdrew from the battle circle under the leadership of Gao Shun and Hao Meng.
Gao Shun was in charge of the assault with Dian Wei's infantry formation.
After this battle, Gao Shun had a great understanding of the combat power of the elite infantry under Xu Chu's command. Those heavily armored tiger guards, armed with strange-looking long knives, could easily block the cavalry and even launch a counterattack as long as the cavalry momentum was a little slow; And the foot soldiers other than the tiger guards are not ordinary people, especially the foot soldiers in the front row - the first shield bearer is holding a large shield that is half a person high, and each shield has a 'spear eye', and behind each shield hand stands two or three spearmen, those spears are inserted from the spear hole, looking like a hedgehog, and the cavalry without horse armor will inevitably feel weak when they see this. Moreover, through Gao Shun's observation, these shield bearers and spearmen are well-trained and cooperative, and when a small gap is made, there will be soldiers who are desperate to fill it immediately, and they are very fast and orderly.
If so, many factors on the battlefield were mixed together, and LΓΌ Bujun finally decided to abandon the cavalry camp outside the pass and escape into the pass.
The road in front of Dagu Pass was not easy for the cavalry to develop, and after deciding to withdraw the army, Lu Bu resolutely left a hundred dead soldiers behind, but he regarded these people as outcasts to cover the retreat of the army.
Cao Chun was the first to step into the gate of Lu Bu's cavalry camp with the cavalry, and after occupying this place, Cao Cao and Xu Chu ordered the whole army to advance and approach the pass, not giving Lu Bu a chance to breathe.
