The Yulin Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry set off one after another, as if they wanted to take this opportunity to compare who was the first elite soldier and horse in the imperial court.

In this regard, Lu Bu didn't care much, and still unhurriedly reorganized the army and horses, and then left the people guarding the camp, and led 3,000 soldiers straight to Xiangyang.

Lu Bu had more than 10,000 forbidden troops at hand, but only brought 3,000, not because there were already two armies of tiger and leopard cavalry and Yulin cavalry in front of him, and the camp needed to be defended well, but he felt that even if he only brought 1,000 people, he could capture Xiangyang City.

This is because he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

"Just a Xiangyang City, just want to stop me?"

The three armies were exactly divided into three parts, the front, the middle and the back, and it didn't take long to kill the city of Xiangyang, and then line up to make the final preparations before the siege.

Cao Ren's tiger and leopard cavalry arrived first, but he did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, although then he could have entered Xiangyang City earlier.

But when the Yulin Rider has already caught up, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

The movement speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry is the slowest among several elite cavalry armies, plus the Yulin cavalry has been running wildly all the way, so it has already chased behind him, and when Cao Ren's side is rectifying the formation, the Yulin cavalry has also arrived.

The first general was in a white robe and silver armor, with a handsome face, and a spear in his hand was a little different from ordinary people, not only the blade was slightly longer, but also the back half of the blade was full of sharp teeth on both sides, which looked a little more hideous.

This silver armor general is Ma Chao, after thinking that the credit may be monopolized by Cao Ren alone, he is the most anxious one, so he rushes the most fiercely, plus the war horse under his crotch is already a divine horse, if he doesn't think of having to take soldiers and horses, I'm afraid he will gallop all the way to Cao Ren and arrive at Xiangyang City first.

"General Cao, why is he in such a hurry, it's useless to come early!"

In addition to taking into account his own soldiers, Ma Chao also remembered that this battle must be personally led by Lu Bu, so the order to launch an attack must also be given by the chief general himself, so it is useless to come early - General Lu's previous order was to send troops, not to directly attack Xiangyang

And if there is no accident, this battle must be as the main general of the vanguard army Lu Bu personally went into battle, especially in order to settle Jingzhou in a battle, Lu Bu waited for a while before Sun Ce and others 'waited for Xiangyang City, as long as this battle is over, not only Jingzhou can be determined, but even Jiangdong is equivalent to becoming a bag.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the imperial army now, it is because the imperial army is taking the 'elite soldiers, the route, don't look at the number, but the combat strength of these soldiers is more than ten Jingzhou troops, even if the strength of the Jiangdong army is slightly better, but the generals of the imperial army do not think that they are stronger than the forbidden army of the imperial court.

In addition, the Jiangdong Army has no advantage in terms of numbers, after all, Jiangdong is not a rich place now, and the population is limited, which limits the possibility of large-scale expansion of the Jiangdong Army.

This attack on Jingzhou and the Jiangdong Army can be regarded as bringing out all the military forces at their disposal, and if all of them are folded here in Jingzhou, then Jiangdong will become an undefended area - the imperial army will just take advantage of the situation and kill it, and there is no need to think about anything else.

As he spoke, the two cavalry armies had already lined up their formations, and at the same time set aside space for Lu Bu, who would arrive later.

Idle, several generals and captains all came to the front of the formation, and looked at Xiangyang City from afar.

At this time, because of the arrival of himself and others, the city wall of Xiangyang City was crowded, and the soldiers with knives and guns kept running on the city wall, and even some people could be seen constantly carrying all kinds of things, which should be used to defend the city. ...,

Ma Chao also noticed that thick smoke rose in several places, which were regularly distributed on the city wall.

"They're boiling the oil in a cauldron!"

Pouted: If he had been worried that these tactics would cause great trouble to his soldiers, now he didn't need to worry about the walls or anything.

There are countless ways for the imperial army to break through the city wall, whether it is to climb the city wall with superhuman martial arts and kill, or directly break through the city gate and kill the city, it is not difficult for them.

At this time, everyone in Xiangyang City was also looking at the lineup of the imperial army, Sun Ce was the first time to see the military appearance of the imperial army, and he only felt that the two cavalry armies in the distance were neatly arrayed, the armor was distinct, and the armor on his body was black and silver, which was a very impactful color.

However, he wasn't too worried, because he didn't think that the imperial army was really strong enough to use cavalry to attack the city, so he was very calm at this time talking to Zhou Yu about the appearance of the imperial army.

"The helmet is bright and bright, even the mount under the crotch looks quite majestic, I heard that in recent years, the land under the rule of the imperial court has had a bumper harvest year after year, and the homeless people are also encouraged to settle down and engage in all kinds of labor, now it seems that these rumors are true!"

Common sense tells them that it must cost a lot to have such a cavalry army, and the imperial court can form two in one go, which shows that the imperial court has been quite wealthy over the years.

"It's just that although it's good, I don't know what it's like to really fight!"

Sun Ce was quite curious about how strong the combat effectiveness of these two cavalry armies that had been formed by the imperial court at a great cost of material resources was, but Zhou Yu next to him smiled: "It is estimated that I can't see it today, unless the main general of the other party is a madman, no one will use cavalry to attack the city, no matter how elite this cavalry army is!"

While the two of them were talking and laughing, Ma Chao over there couldn't wait, and even wanted to pull out his javelin and face it directly at the city, even if he couldn't kill people, it was good to scare and scare the other party.

But Zhang Liao stopped him: "This time I went south, Your Majesty has a task to hand over to General Zhengxi, and Meng Qi must not act recklessly!"

As the general of Yulin, Zhang Liao knew some inside information, including the fact that the Son of Heaven asked Lu Bu to capture Sun Ce alive in front of him.

Since he wants to be captured alive, he can't be surprised before the war, and he must take advantage of the fact that Sun Ce still doesn't know much about the imperial army, so that he can have the greatest possibility of catching Sun Ce.

In order to complete this task, Lu Bu must take action personally.

As the strongest combat power in the imperial court, Lu Bu, whose strength can be compared to Yu Ji, cares about whether he has a heart or not, and Sun Ce probably doesn't want to escape this time.

Just thinking about it, Lu Bu happened to lead the soldiers and horses to come, lined up in the two cavalry armies, and then faced the east gate of Xiangyang City from afar.

As soon as Lu Bu came, the atmosphere in Xiangyang City changed suddenly, and the battle seemed to be about to break out, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu secretly wondered: "Why are there only so many foot soldiers on the other side?"

Lu Bu brought out 3,000 soldiers and horses, of which 1,000 were still cavalry of the forbidden army, that is to say, the number of foot soldiers was only 2,000, compared to the 10,000 cavalry next to him, this arrangement did not look like it was going to attack the city, but like it was going to be a field battle.

"Is it just a temptation?"

It seems that this is the only way to say, and it is not uncommon sense for two thousand foot soldiers to launch a tentative attack to see if there are any traps outside the city and how the defenses on the towers are arranged, and then attack against these arrangements.

"Well, we can also take a closer look at the strength of the imperial army? I have only heard about it before, but those rumors always feel that they are not credible!"

It's not that Jiangdong didn't collect information about the imperial army, but the things he collected were too appalling, and if a person raised his hand and shot a bow a thousand steps away, the arrow would explode and blow all the soldiers on the left to pieces.

Someone held a spear upside down, and then threw it with a flash of white light, and a brilliant pillar of light came out of his hand, directly blasting a city into powder - this is indeed an exaggeration, in fact, it only smashed the city gate.

Either someone stands in the midst of thousands of enemy troops and stamps his feet, causing the earth to shake and make the people around him unable to stand steadily, but that person reaps the lives of these people as if they were walking on the ground......

Remarks like these made Zhou Yu and Sun Ce speechless and helpless, and they were embarrassed to find that after they realized that the world was not as simple as it was original, many things could not make accurate judgments.

They don't believe all of this information, but they can't disbelieve it all: most of the time there is, but it's never so exaggerated! That's what they finally came to their conclusion.

With such a judgment, of course they would not be too nervous, as for Cai Mao, although he had already reminded Sun Ce that the strength of the imperial army was very strong, after all, he had personally experienced it, and he had lost his younger brother because of it.

However・・・・・・ Sun Ce didn't have a good impression of this guy who even dared to kill his lord in order to protect himself, don't look at what he didn't say now, but if he wants to master Jingzhou, the Cai family doesn't want to have a good end.

After all, if Cai Mao can do that kind of thing to Liu Biao today in order to protect himself and the Cai family, he can do the same to himself tomorrow.

Sun Ce is not a good-tempered person, nor is he a guy with a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, what is it to kill someone to ensure his authority?

was thinking about how to clean up the Cai family, when he saw the formation of the imperial army on the opposite side change for a while, and then a general slapped his horse out of battle.

Looking at it from afar, I saw that this person was wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, gold armor, a red cloak behind him, and a batch of majestic war horses under his crotch were also red all over, and then looked at the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.

"This is Na Lu Bu?"

Sun Ce saw Lu Bu for the first time, although he could only see a figure from a distance and couldn't see his face clearly, but he still vaguely felt the momentum of the world's number one fierce general.

He secretly praised in his heart, and also raised the idea of being superior to one, but he felt that both sides were the main generals, and it was a siege battle, so he was afraid that he would not have such a chance, although he unconsciously grabbed the ancient ingot knife on his waist, but in the end he laughed.

But at this time, Lu Bu on the opposite side actually rode out of the army alone, and then went straight to Xiangyang!

"Huh? What is this going to do?"
