Chapter 172: Desert Pride
Lu Bu raised his horsewhip and howled: "Whew-ho!" Whew-ho! β
The red rabbit has four hooves in the air, and its mane is flying. From the bustling city of Luoyang to the empty prairie, it not only did not feel lost, but felt extremely happy. The world here is vast, allowing it to run freely and roll around with joy.
Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others followed closely behind, galloping wildly. However, their war horses were too far away from Lu Bu, and they had been pulled down a stone's throw away, and they were getting farther and farther away.
"Fu Jun, be careful of the ambush-" Wei Xu stood up with his stirrup, pulling his throat and yelling with all his strength. As soon as the roar came out, it was blown away by the howling wind. However, he was not worried, he knew that Lu Bu was a good listener, and he would definitely be able to hear his reminder.
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Bu's laughter came from the front: "Hahaha...... What if there is an ambush, looking at the world, who can stop Lu Bu among my people and the red rabbit among the horses? I'm afraid they won't come. This month, I've caught more than 100 horse thieves. β
Wei Xu shook his head helplessly. After returning to the grassland, Lu Bu threw himself into the battle of catching horse thieves in full swing. Especially after the news from Luoyang that the Son of Heaven summoned his sister and Lu Bu's wife Wei into the palace and did not return for several days, Lu Bu was even more busy, and it was almost rare to return to Shuofang, wandering the grassland all day long.
As Lu Bu's cronies, Wei Xu certainly knew that those rumors were false, but as Wei's younger brother, he had some inexplicable regrets.
If the Son of Heaven really falls in love with his sister Wei, he can also be added to the rank and become a knight, and he will be in charge alone.
"Be careful. There are enemies ahead! Cao Xuan suddenly shouted, pulling Wei Xu back from his regretful dream, and at the same time took off the strong bow on his back.
Wei Xu looked along his gaze, and saw that on the horizon in front of him, there was a group of black shadows that were rapidly getting bigger, and it seemed that there were three or five hundred people, and the direction they were galloping in was Lu Bu who was rushing in front.
"Where are so many horse thieves?" Wei Xu broke out in a cold sweat and raised his horn while shouting. Blow hard.
"Woo-" The majestic sound of the horn echoed between heaven and earth. Spread far away.
"I don't know." Cao Xing rode his horse and shouted: "Maybe it's not a horse thief, it's a Hun or a Xianbei person." β
Wei Xu broke out in a cold sweat and took a deep breath. Blow the horn vigorously again. This time it's three in a row. Order the men and horses on both sides to move closer to the middle. Prepare for the battle horn.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
When Lu Bu heard the sound of the horn, he scolded: "This shaft, is it sleeping too much with Hu Nu." Weak legs, and when you encounter such a little enemy, you call for help? β
While scolding, he kicked Chitu lightly, took off the big yellow bow with his left hand, and stroked the horsehair with his right hand: "Chitu Chitu, can you kill it today?" β
The red rabbit raised its head and accelerated again, opening a green wave among the lush weeds, like a flame, and galloped forward.
Lu Bu reached into the quiver and pulled out three arrows, bit two in his mouth, hung one on the string, pulled the big yellow bow, and threw the arrows at the enemy who could not be seen clearly in the distance.
"Whoosh-" The arrow feather trembled twice, and suddenly disappeared from Lu Bu's eyes, and a crisp sound of "pop" exploded in Lu Bu's ears.
Lu Bu smiled, pulled his bow and arrows again, and shot three arrows in one breath. It wasn't until the third arrow disappeared from his eyes that he hung up his bow with satisfaction, took off the heavenly painting halberd, and roared: "Mustache slave, Lu Bulai is also among the people!" β
It was a group of Xianbei people who came, they were from the Tiger Tribe, and the leader was Xiaoshuai Keye. A few days ago, the scouts discovered that the Han Chinese had reached the edge of the Tiger tribe's territory deep into the grasslands, much to the displeasure of Koye. In his memory, only the Xianbei people robbed the Han people, how could there be a reason for the Han people to go deep into the grassland to rob the Xianbei people, even if it was hunting.
Koye chased him out with his subordinates, and it took two days of hard work to finally track down this group of Han people, and knew that the leader was Lu Bu.
LΓΌ Bu's name is known not only in Bingzhou, but also by many people on the grassland. However, even though he knew that Lu Bu was skilled in archery and strong in martial arts, Ke Ye did not take him seriously. Because he knew that Lu Bu only had more than a hundred horsemen around him, and he was not his opponent at all.
So, he didn't even send a message to the tribe commander Ke Zhi, so he greeted him and collided with Lu Bu head-on. Seeing Lu Bu rushing in front of him, Ke Ye laughed loudly and ordered a rush down to behead Lu Bu under his horse.
After receiving the order, Koye's personal guards were inexplicably excited. Lu Bu, a warrior who can kill the famous desert, will talk about it in the future, and his face will shine.
They shouted and shouted, let their horses gallop, and rushed straight to Lu Bu.
Three hundred paces away, some of them drew their swords and prepared to slash, while others drew their bows and prepared to shoot. The effective distance of riding a bow is about sixty paces, and with the galloping speed of a war horse, you can shoot at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces. Preparing at this distance is a habit they have been doing for years.
These people are battle-hardened warriors, and battle is a daily routine for them, and when the battle is imminent, they are not only not nervous, but even more excited, while galloping their horses, while preparing for battle, and not forgetting to tease each other.
Ke Ye laughed the loudest, he was able to kill Lu Bu, and even capture Lu Bu alive, can his Ke Ye's reputation be small in the future?
Just when he was laughing the most, he suddenly felt something strange, and the air in front of him seemed to writhe. The next moment, the companion beside him, the war horse under his crotch, suddenly accelerated forward, leaving him behind.
He thought it was strange and was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly saw a stream of bloody arrows flying out of his chest. Only then did he feel a sharp pain in his chest, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.
In the eyes of others, Koye had already flown up, and he took off his galloping horse, danced a dozen steps in the air, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The knight behind was shocked, and his eyes followed Koye up, and suddenly saw a puddle of blood blooming out of the corner of his eye. He was so frightened that he was about to dodge sideways when a feathered arrow sprang out of the blood flower and struck him in the throat.
"Plop puff!" The three feathered arrows were fired almost simultaneously, and the four knights, including Koye, rolled over and fell to the ground, and the charging formation suddenly froze.
Looking at Koye's empty saddle, almost all of the Xianbei knights were stupid. Lu Bu was still three hundred steps away, how could he shoot such a powerful and accurate arrow? They turned their gaze ahead, only to see a man and a rider roaring towards them.
"Kill!" Lu Bu snorted softly, and Fang Tian's halberd stabbed out a halberd shadow.
Xianbei people were shocked, and before they could understand what was going on, the three of them were killed head-on by Lu Bu.
One man and one horse, like a hot sword piercing into the cold grease, easily passed through the battle formation of the Xianbei people, without the slightest hindrance. In a moment, Lu Bu left a trail of blood and more than a dozen corpses, passing through the formation. He leaned over the horse's back and forcibly pulled Chitu around. The red rabbit also became excited, the person stood up, the front hooves were in the air, two steps in vain, forcibly stopped, and when it put down the horse's hooves, it had already faced the panicked Xianbei people again.
"Kill!" Lu Bu was overjoyed and patted Chitu's neck: "Good Chitu, rush again!" β
The red rabbit hissed with his head raised and ran wildly.
Before the Xianbei people turned their heads, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and their faces suddenly changed in fright. They shouted and shouted as they ran to both sides, and no one wanted to be caught up by Lu Bu. There may still be a chance of luck in the head-on battle, and being chased and beaten by an opponent of Lu Bu's level will definitely be a dead end.
"Shameless!" Seeing the Xianbei people scattering and fleeing, Lu Bu was so angry that he scolded: "The castration who has no eggs will flee before he is beaten!" β
The Xianbei people couldn't see Lu Bu's disdain, but they were stunned when they saw the smoke and dust rising from both sides.
In front of them to the left and right, more than 100 horsemen approached quickly.
Directly in front of them, Wei Xu and Cao Xuan had already rushed in front of them, Cao Xuan pulled his bow and released arrows, and when the bowstring sounded, several knights fell off their horses.
The Xianbei people were encircled. Although there was only Lu Bu behind them, it made them even more frightened.
Seeing that the general situation was not good, the Xianbei people who had organic spirits did not wait for the battle, turned their horses and fled, and disappeared into the depths of the vast grassland.
Half an hour later, when the battle was over, Lu Bu jumped off the red rabbit, clapped his hands, and complained: "What are you doing so quickly, you see, you haven't been able to catch them all, at least seven or eight have run." β
Hao Meng laughed: "Fujun, you are a little us now." With more than 400 people running on such a large grassland, only seven or eight of them have run, which is already very rare. β
Lu Bu looked at Hao Meng and grinned: "For you Central Plains people, this is already good, but for us men on the grassland, running away from one is one more trouble." What's more, I, Lu Bu, went out and let them leave alive and spread it, wouldn't it be laughed at. β
The crowd laughed. Wei Xu and the others laughed the loudest. Hao Meng is a native of Hanoi and has been under Lu Bu for the shortest time, but he has a good command of the army, and Lu Bu made him a lieutenant and commanded a hundred people. This also made many old subordinates red-eyed, and they all felt very happy when they saw Lu Bu making fun of Hao Meng.
Hao Meng laughed twice, but he didn't get angry. "Fujun, the horse thieves in the neighborhood have almost been killed, and now they are all fighting with the Xianbei people, should they be accepted when they see it? So as not to provoke a large-scale attack by the Xianbei people? β
Lu Bu shook his head, raised his head, and glanced at the mountains in the sky: "Otherwise, our momentum is not enough. He opened his arms and embraced heaven and earth: "I just want to provoke the anger of the Xianbei people, so that I can catch them all and turn this grassland into our horse farm." β
Hao Meng was stunned: "Fujun, you ...... Want to make a home in this bitter cold land? β
"It's not me, it's our big man." Lu Bu stretched out his hand and pointed, "We not only want to hit the Wolf Juxu Mountain and reproduce the glory of Huo Biyao, but we also have to hit the far north place." That's where dragons come from. βγ (To be continued......)
