Chapter 16: Assassins, Bloody Battles
Fortunately, the soldiers who followed Cao Chun were quick and scooped up Cao Chun and put him on the horse, otherwise even if Cao Chun's physique was far stronger than ordinary people, he was afraid that he would be trampled to death by the cavalry charging behind him and turn into a puddle of flesh.
"Despicable villain! Assassin!" Lu Bu, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, was furious.
He has always believed that on the battlefield, there should be real swords and real guns, and he should convince people with his strength.
"I didn't expect the famous Lu Fengxian to be so pedantic. The face of the Barbarian Thirteen was calm, but the words he said were full of ridicule, "All means exist only for the sake of victory, how can it be despicable." ”
Lu Bu no longer spoke, but stepped up his offensive a little more, but because he was worried about the safety of Zhang An and the others, he was never able to fully concentrate.
Just when he was distracted thinking about how to rescue Zhang An and the others, a strong sense of crisis came to his heart.
With a flash of light in front of him, he subconsciously lowered his head, although he was not hurt, he felt that the purple gold crown used to bind his hair had been picked away.
Lu Bu, who was wearing loose hair, swept the soldiers around him who thought he had a chance to retreat, and looked at the brute thirteen who was playing with his purple and gold crown with a blue face.
"If General Lu is so careless again, I'm afraid that the next time it will be the general's head in my hands. Man Thirteen threw the purple gold crown to a soldier beside him and ordered, "Put it away, and when this battle is over, hang this thing in the most conspicuous place in the royal court along with Lu Fengxian's head." ”
Lu Bu, who was ridiculed by the Barbarian Thirteen, not only did not get angry, but calmed down.
"You're right, all means exist only for the sake of victory. Lu Bu smiled coldly, and once again rode his horse towards the Manju.
Who knew that when the two were about to meet, Lu Bu made a false move, turned the horse's head, urged the red rabbit horse with all his strength, and plunged into the barbarian army around him, and killed the place where the tiger and leopard rode, setting off a bloody storm.
"It's kind of interesting. The barbarian thirteen did not go after Lu Bu, but summoned the barbarian generals and issued a few more military orders: "I want to see if you can get what you want." ”
After losing Cao Chun's sharp arrow, the momentum of the tiger and leopard cavalry charge gradually slowed down, and finally fell into the sea of barbarians.
Many of the tiger and leopard knights were dragged off their horses by the swarming barbarians and hacked to death with their knives.
At this time, Cao Chun, who was in a coma, had already reached the hands of Zhang An, who was in the center of the tiger and leopard ride, as he passed through the layers of passes.
Cao Chun's situation was very dangerous, he was cut a big hole in his chest and abdomen, but he was almost disemboweled.
Zhang An also let go, his legs tightly clamped the war horse, one hand hugged Cao Chun, and the other hand pressed on Cao Chun's chest, injecting his qi into Cao Chun's body continuously.
This move undoubtedly accelerated the collapse of Zhang An's internal balance, causing him to cough up blood constantly, so that his face quickly turned pale.
But Zhang An didn't seem to be aware of it, he was anxious to watch the tigers and leopards around him continue to reduce their numbers, and he was at a loss.
With the issuance of the new military order of the Thirteenth Man, the situation of the tiger and leopard cavalry became more and more dangerous.
The archers in the back row continued to scatter arrows, and the shield soldiers in the front row were even more crazy, directly charging at the tiger and leopard riders with flesh and blood against the giant shield.
Coupled with the harassment of pikemen and cavalry, at least a third of the 3,000 tigers and leopards were killed in just one stick of incense.
Even so, the tiger and leopard rider did not waver in the slightest, and was still fighting hard, hoping to fight a bloody way and send his master away.
However, at this time, the assassin who had caused Cao Chun to be seriously injured and unconscious with a single blow reappeared.
He roamed and walked in the Tiger and Leopard Riders, taking the life of a Tiger and Leopard Rider with each shot.
Several times he even appeared not far from Zhang An, if it weren't for the tiger and leopard guarding to fight for his life and force him back, I am afraid that Zhang An would also end up with the same fate as Cao Chun.
It was when the assassin appeared near Zhang An that Zhang An saw the assassin's physiognomy clearly.
The assassin who kills people as neatly as a farmer cutting wheat is actually a thin teenager in a black power suit.
The young man was handsome, he looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had a pair of yellow eyes.
His eyes were hollow, without the slightest warmth, like an emotionless beast.
He clenched a dagger in each hand, like the sharpest fangs of a hungry wolf, and every swing would take a life.
Although the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, what makes Zhang An feel a little comforted is that with his reckless efforts, Cao Chun's injuries have finally been stabilized, and there is no longer blood flowing out of the terrifying wound, if you look closely, the wound has begun to heal slowly.
If there is a chance to escape, as long as he rests for a while, Cao Chun will return to his original state.
Is there just a chance to survive?
Zhang An was a little pessimistic.
At this moment, he found that Lu Bu was about to kill his side.
He was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, hold on a little longer! General Lu will be here soon!"
The tiger and leopard rider who got the news was obviously in good spirits.
But the good times didn't last long, and Zhang An, who was closely watching Lu Bu's movements, saw the young assassin turn into a black shadow and pounce on Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu was not harmed, the young man did not give up his actions again and again.
Not only Lu Bu himself, but even the Red Rabbit Horse was constantly being attacked from various angles, which made Lu Bu scramble for a while.
What's even more terrifying is that Zhang An saw that there were several times when Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd obviously hit the young man, but the young man was covered in blood and still entangled Lu Bu.
At this moment, a tiger and leopard rode close to Zhang An and told Zhang An a desperate news.
There are only about 800 people left, and they can't hold out for too long.
Zhang An glanced around, but there were only endless barbarians in sight.
Lu Bu couldn't count on it for the time being, and what made Zhang Anxin even more cold was that Barbarian Thirteen once again rode his horse into the formation, and his target was the few remaining tigers and leopards.
"Let's go and join General Lu!" Zhang An made a judgment after a brief hesitation, and could only bet on whether he and the others would kill Lu Bu first, or the brute thirteen would block his last chance first.
Lu Bu obviously also discovered the situation of Zhang An and the others, he roared again and again, constantly dancing the halberd, and the fierce energy swept the battlefield around him like a raging storm, and all the enemies in his attack range almost turned into a pile of minced meat.
The reason why I say almost is because there is another person who is not influenced by Lu Bu.
It was the young assassin.
I don't know if he was born with a special physique, or if he has some secret method, the young man completely ignored Lu Bu's continuous energy, and still moved freely to attack Lu Bu from all angles.
Lu Bu was in a hurry, the speed of the halberd swinging was getting faster and faster, the strength was getting more and more fierce, and the qi in his body was uncaring and unrestrained.
On the other side, the remaining tigers and leopards rode to escort Zhang An and the others to kill in the sea of people, and they approached Lu Bu with difficulty.
Almost every step forward, several tigers and leopards were killed.
Zhang An estimated the distance and the speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and sadly found that he and the others seemed to be unable to kill Lu Bu's side.
Just when Zhang An was already in despair, an incident happened next that made Zhang An completely fall into an ice cellar.
Lu Bu, who was impatient and began to be impetuous, was finally unable to completely block the young assassin's attack.
A faint light flashed on the assassin's daggers, and he actually broke through the qi that Lu Bu had blessed on the Red Rabbit Horse, cutting off one of the Red Rabbit Horse's legs.
The red rabbit horse raised its head and let out a mournful roar, and fell heavily.
"Chi'er!" Lu Bu jumped off the horse in time, watching the red rabbit horse being hacked to death by the barbarians around him, blood poured into his pupils, and he was filled with grief and anger.
At this moment, Lu Bu found that there were less than 200 tiger and leopard riders guarding Zhang An and the others, and the Man Thirteen was already close at hand.
Having lost his beloved horse that had accompanied him for many years, and having to watch his comrades and friends die on the battlefield, Lu Bu's reason was completely overwhelmed by the anger in his heart.
He let out a roar, and a raging blood-colored flame ignited on Fang Tian's painting halberd, and he picked up the halberd, and killed Zhang An and the others step by step, unstoppable, even the young assassin no longer attacked, but chose to temporarily avoid his edge.
Originally, Zhang An's plan was to get close to Lu Bu, hand over Cao Chun to Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu ride the red rabbit horse out of the battlefield.
However, at this time, seeing Lu Bu being fierce, a little hope was ignited in his heart, and he shouted hoarsely, "Quickly approach General Lu and let him take General Cao away!"
The exhausted Haw Par Rider, who was already covered in scars, shook his spirits again.
However, at this moment, the brutal thirteen killed.
Man Thirteen waved the halberd in his hand, and with just one blow, he killed all the tiger and leopard riders in front of Zhang An.
Zhang An looked at the barbarian thirteen who rushed towards him while riding a horse and killing the tigers and leopards who surrounded him, and tightly held the long knife in his hand.
"Whew!" The painting halberd swept towards Zhang An with a fierce wind, and the Thirteen Man actually wanted to kill Zhang An and Cao Chun, who was held in Zhang An's arms with his left hand, with one move.
At the last moment, Zhang An reluctantly blocked the long knife in his hand.
"Bang!" After the long knife in Zhang An's hand was directly shattered by this blow, the strong force from the long knife shattered his right hand, and then rushed into Zhang An's body, wantonly destroying Zhang An's meridians and internal organs.
Zhang An's face turned pale, he spat out a mouthful of blood with fragments of internal organs, his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse.
Man Thirteen let out a small exclamation, although he didn't use all his strength, but he thought that this blow was enough to kill the enemy in front of him, but he didn't expect to be blocked.
But he didn't need to worry about it anymore, because Zhang An had already been torn off his war horse by the barbarians who surrounded him.
Holding Cao Chun tightly, Zhang An, who was powerless to fight back, looked at the countless long knives that were about to fall on his body and smacked his lips.
I didn't expect that my final ending would be chopped into minced meat.
This way of dying, what a fool.
