Chapter 105, Fighting Wits and Courage

(Thank you for the praise of the book friend "Nine Mysterious Eyes"~)

In fact, these three gates are just the eastern wall of the Han capital divided into four parts, and the distance of each part is equal, that is, if it is in the Middle East Gate, whether it is to the upper East Gate or the lower East Gate, the distance is almost the same, of course, because there is a place between the East Gate and the Middle East Gate, such as Buguangli and Yongheli, where the nobles and ministers settle, there will generally be no hawkers on the street. Often, the traffic will be more convenient.

And if you go from the upper east gate to the lower east gate, the time it takes is basically twice as long as going to the east gate, and sometimes even more, depending on the bustling road conditions in the southeast corner of the city.

In any case, it is certain that the distance to go to the lower east gate is longer and it takes longer, but for the current Lu Bu and his party, this is not the best choice.

If it is in the other three directions, the valley gate in the north will definitely not be let go by the other party because the distance is also quite close, and the other city gate is even farther away and is not considered directly; The distance to the west is farther and more risky, and the shortcut has to pass through the palace, which can easily cause trouble; As for the south side, it is farther away than the lower east gate, so it is the east gate that is relatively less risky and relatively close.

Therefore, in this matter, even if Lu Bu is not arbitrary, everyone will not be able to come up with other routes.

As Lu Bu predicted, probably in pursuit of Kuài. Once the other party decides to leave, it will go very quickly, after Lu Bu and his party carefully groped out of Buguangli, they did not find anything abnormal around, and there was no half a figure found in the north outside Buguangli, on the street that could lead directly to the east gate of Luoyang City, and it was obviously unlikely that the other party's hundreds of people would be hidden on this street, and there was no obvious cover nearby, and there was no ambush nearby, so it seemed that the other party had really left.

At this time, even Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and of course, the most basic vigilance was still not discarded. And then I didn't dare to hesitate any longer. So next, under the leadership of Lu Bu, the group that was originally just moving slowly no longer had any scruples, and their speed increased suddenly. As if riding the wind, it galloped on the street, which was relatively wide for more than a dozen people.

The sound of horses' hooves resounding over the wide, much quieter streets than usual. The scenery on both sides of the road recedes rapidly on both sides of the view. In the cool autumn season, people can feel the direction of the flowing wind when they stand still, not to mention that they are now driving horses and galloping. The breeze on both sides was originally just swept by the trend, and it turned into a violent blow against the trend, and the cheeks of the people who were stimulated were a little painful, such as Lu Bu and others didn't take it to heart, but Cai Yong had to guard against it, but fortunately, although he was old, but the equestrian skills when he was young had not been completely lost, and at this time he was protected by a group of people in the middle, Cai Yong walked quite smoothly, and he was still able to keep up with the pace of everyone if he was a little more difficult.

And the howling wind is more of a roaring sound in people's ears, noisy and harsh, in addition, for Lu Bu, there is another effect, the wind blows violently, but it can make him because of the sudden change in life, although he has always been able to maintain basic calm, but because he has been vigilant, his somewhat hot mind slowly cooled down, and when the whole person slowly calmed down, he was able to look at what he had just done from another angle to determine if there was anything missing, Maybe one of the loopholes that he didn't grasp but accidentally leaked was caught by the other party, and when the time comes, he can't tell what's going on with the other party's way.

If you don't want to do it, it's okay, think about it carefully, although it seems that there is no problem with the judgment of the general direction, but it is still rough in some details, although it is not fatal, the key is to see if the other party can grasp it.

Of course, since they have already embarked on the established route, it seems that nothing abnormal has been found now, and it is impossible for Lu Bu to rashly change it based on speculation, so he still continues to rush according to the original plan, but on the other hand, for the sake of insurance, Lu Bu still sent a guard to contact the members of the spy group hidden in the city, and he must use a hole card as a last resort.

As this avenue connecting the upper east gate gradually came to an end to the west, it was almost to the intersection of the north and south streets, it seemed that this road was really unusually smooth, but I don't know why, Lu Bu's heart had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness that became stronger and stronger, until Tong Guò made a left turn and entered the southward street Soon after, he finally let go of his mind completely.

This is not because he finally determined that the other party has been tricked, and his line will pass this level safely, and the road behind him will be much easier, in fact, after the turn, Lu Bu immediately determined that the other party did not hit the trick at all, and there is no doubt about it, because as soon as he entered the passage to the south, there was a congestion in the middle of the main road in the field of vision directly in front of this pedestrian, but it seemed that the queue was very neat, and it seemed that it was a team that had been waiting for a long time, even if he didn't look at whether there were any familiar faces they could recognize and remember, Just looking at the opponent's posture and the familiar uniform black armor was enough to confirm that the opponent was the team that pursued them before.

However, there was already a deepening sense of uneasiness in his heart before, Lu Bu was not much surprised at this time, and his mentality was quickly adjusted, the next big deal is to break out, at this time, since the other party's movements have been determined, it is much better than always having a layer of uneasiness in his heart tossing his head.

In fact, if it weren't for the consideration of Cai Yong's safety, just relying on the good guards who followed him and his overall combat strength, he didn't dare to say that he would easily annihilate the other party, but it would be easy to break through and rush out, and he would not be afraid of Lu Bu and others who were stacked with hundreds of people at all, and the reason why he had to come up with the previous series of means was to try to ensure Cai Yong's stability and safety.

At Lu Bu's signal, everyone began to form a rudimentary defensive formation, just faintly guarding Cai Yong in the middle, and protecting him from as many angles as possible, and the four people at the front of the team didn't know when they each took out a shield to come out, which still came from the poor guys who were killed by them before and fell behind the other party, in fact, these people didn't all fall behind because of slackness, and some of the reasons were that they brought too many things, and the shield happened to be in it.

And Lu Bu and the others not only robbed their horses, but Lu Bu also asked people to pick out a few of the shields and put them away in case of emergency, which happened to be used in this situation at the moment.

Of course, the four shields can't take care of all aspects, especially if it is not ruled out that the opponent will use the long-range attack weapon bow and arrow, after all, they are now on horseback, and it is difficult to move, and the defensible type of the shield will be greatly reduced.

However, these four are all dead soldiers, and at this time they are actually mentally prepared to be cannon fodder, as long as once they charge up at that time, unless the war horses are directly killed by a blow in such a street, there is no way to turn back and can only rush forward with them, so that even if they are the whole of them, they have become the mobile shields of Lu Bu and others behind; What's more, it's hard to say how much effect the arrows can exert in such an environment, if they are all shot into the sky, other teams may be afraid, and Lu Bu and his party will not take it to heart at all.

It's just the same as before, Cai Yong's thoughtfulness also needs to be taken into account, so the guards in the four directions closest to Cai Yong also consciously looked closer to him again, and at this time, Lu Bu had already launched the order to charge.

Shout!

Almost at the same time, the other party's attack also followed as expected, and for a while, the streets at the distance between the two sides were almost obscured by the rain of arrows that were fired, and the light shining on the ground was dimmed...... (To be continued......)
