Chapter 28: The Cruel Lü Bu

  "Ah! It's too cruel!", Li Yu patted the city gate, shouting and yelling. A general was knocked off his weapon by the opponent, what does this mean? One word - death! This Lü Bu is really too ruthless! Third Brother is not even a match for him!

  How many people have seen such a wonderful and unparalleled battle? That Hua Xiong is quite powerful, beheading Yu She and Pan Feng in just a few rounds, while Dian Wei capturing Hua Xiong took only over twenty rounds.

  The interval was not long, and the crowd didn't feel shocked, but the two had been fighting for more than fifty rounds. The exquisite martial arts had convinced everyone, and people watched in a daze.

  The princes with a heavier heart of jealousy looked at Liu Bei with some envy, how could he be so capable! He was just a small county magistrate, yet he possessed such a rare and powerful general in the world, and the gaze of the crowd made Liu Bei suddenly feel embarrassed.

  Upper light, unexpectedly forgot Zhang Fei's predicament, fortunately second brother Guan Yu has been staring at the battlefield with his eyes fixed.

  Seeing Zhang Fei about to be chopped, how could he still be calm? He urged his horse forward, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife dragged along the ground, scraping up a string of sparks!

  Lü Bu was twice thwarted in his attempts to behead the enemy general, and on the third occasion he was also wary; among the allied forces of the nobles there were certainly no lack of able and heroic individuals, and he too became vigilant.

  But in the opposing army, there was a person wearing a parrot-green battle robe and half-shoulder armor. He was nine feet tall, with a beard two feet long, his face like a ripe date, his lips as if painted with vermilion; his eyes were like those of a red phoenix, his eyebrows like sleeping silkworms, his appearance majestic, his aura fierce!

  Drawing out a Qinglong Yan Yue sword, with piercing eyes and an aura of killing intent that shoots towards the sky.

  In the camp of Bian State, a red horse was ridden by a man wearing black armor and holding a long sword across his chest. His face was purple and he had a short beard. He looked majestic and awe-inspiring. This man was Zhang Liao, a brave general under Lü Bu's command, known for being the most skilled in martial arts among all of Lü Bu's subordinates.

  Another man emerged from the allied forces, considering Lü Bu's prolonged battle fatigue. Zhang Liao urged his horse to come out and meet the enemy, but unexpectedly, Lü Bu observed all directions with his eyes and listened to all sides with his ears. After discovering Zhang Liao's intention, he loudly shouted: "Wen Yuan, don't worry! Let me sweep through the array for you today! I will make my name known throughout the world!"

  Lü Bu's shout was naturally heard by Li Yu, who raised his hand to gaze into the distance. Indeed, a figure stood at the forefront of the Bianzhou army, reining in his horse, with an extraordinary appearance and majestic aura, worthy of being the protagonist of the play "Eight Hundred Defeat Ten Thousand".

  But he will be on his own side later, for now let's just watch Lü Bu's majestic appearance! As for him? There will be plenty of time to take a closer look later.

  But Guan Yu and his brother's move was called "Dragging Sword Slash", with a strange blade edge and extremely fast speed, if not guarded or not strictly guarded, one move can determine the outcome.

  If Lü Bu is the best of the two types of duelists, the second type, not the charging and entangling type, then Guan Yu is the best of the charging single combat type. Don't you see how Yan Liang and Wen Chou died?

  Guan Yu's eyes were wide open, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade drew a circle above his head. With a loud shout, he struck first, taking the initiative. Lü Bu was late to react and could only defend himself. The weapons of both sides were extremely heavy, with Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade weighing 89 jin and Lü Bu's Fang Tian Hua Halberd over 100 jin. The two clashed, their blows ringing out in a shocking display.

  Lü Bu was not easy to get along with, and Guan Yu did not plan to rely on the weight of his weapon as before, cutting open the opponent's weapon with one knife, and then chopping down the enemy's head with a single stroke. That was unrealistic; With the help of the recoil force from the collision, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade drew a beautiful arc, slashing upwards at Red Hare Horse

  The gleaming blade flashed by, and a chill ran down his spine. Chi Tu Ma was startled and reared up on its hind legs, the blade slicing past its coat, sending its fur standing on end; Lü Bu, unprepared, almost fell off the horse's back.

  At that time, there was only a soft cloth on the horse's back, no saddle, and only one side of the reins, no stirrups. The generals all relied on the strength of their legs to hold onto the horse's back, which is also why Li Yu didn't want to learn how to ride horses - it was too dangerous, and if you weren't careful, you could get thrown off and killed or injured!

  He was thinking about when he could get a stirrup, as he was learning to ride a horse.

  And without mentioning him, Lü Bu was about to fall when he used the halberd to prop himself up and recover his composure. How could Guan Yu let go of this great opportunity? He struck again with a slash to the head, but Lü Bu's sword moved in a slanted direction, using the branches of the halberd to deflect the blow, striking the blade of the偃月刀 (a type of curved knife). Guan Yu's attack was also disrupted, and he lost his initial advantage.

  "You three-surname household slaves! Come and die!", Zhang Fei, who had his weapon knocked out of his hand, felt ashamed and rode back with his 18-foot snake spear. Guan Yu did not stop him, knowing in his heart that since Zhang Fei's weapon was knocked away, they would definitely lose the fight. Although outnumbering their opponent was not honorable, it was still better than losing their lives. If they could behead Lü Bu, the world's number one warrior, they wouldn't be considered shameful either;

  Both sides were almost hoarse from shouting, it was too shocking! The drummers also changed shifts one after another, both sides were full of morale and expected their own people to win.

  Under the three blades, Lü Bu knew that Guan Yu's bravery was no less than Zhang Fei. At this time, the two of them attacked him together, making him both calm and uncontrollably excited, like a bloodthirsty lone wolf. Lü Bu licked his lips, narrowed his eyes, and with the silver light flashing from the Fang Tian Hua Halberd, he countered Guan and Zhang's attack, for to counterattack was the best and most satisfying way of fighting in his heart.

  The two men's arm strength was similar to his, and they couldn't choose to wrestle, which would be a disadvantage. They could only fight with exquisite moves.

  Every strike was lightning-fast, with horizontal, pulling, sweeping, and lifting movements flying up and down. Lü Bu's martial arts skills were brought to the extreme, allowing everyone to see what it means to be the world's number one warrior! What is the ultimate song of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu - the Halberd Technique of the Overlord!

  It's astonishing that with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bravery, they only managed to fight him to a stalemate.

  Some people have said that Guan Yu's knife method emphasizes the unity of man and horse, with a strong impact force, fast and strange hand speed, and one move to determine the outcome. This statement is not bad, Guan Yu's knife method is indeed so.

  However, after losing this advantage, he was also quite ruthless. His knife style was continuous and uninterrupted, like the water of a great river crashing down, and ordinary people did not dare to raise their blades against him.

  Zhang Fei's spear technique was characterized by grand opening and closing, using momentum to overwhelm his opponents and brute force to crush them. The two men worked together seamlessly, with Zhang Fei taking the lead in attacking while Guan Yu waited for an opportunity to strike at Lü Bu's weak points.

  Lü Bu is not a vegetarian, he is the perfect combination of strength and skill, inheriting the halberd method of Overlord Xiang Yu, Lü Bu's halberd method is sometimes grandly opened and closed, sometimes strange and abnormal, and sometimes fleeting and unpredictable.

  Under the pincer attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three of them exchanged over twenty moves in the blink of an eye, yet Lü Bu showed no signs of defeat! It's worth noting that fighting one against two is extremely exhausting, both physically and mentally, especially when facing such formidable opponents.

  Liu Bei could then rely on the help of these two brothers to achieve his ambition! He wouldn't let them lose, and for now, he couldn't care about taking advantage of the outnumbered. He drew out his dual swords and shouted: "Second brother, third brother! Wait for me to help you!", and then charged forward;

  Gongsun Zan was defeated by Lü Bu again and fled in disarray, feeling ashamed. He led a precious horse from his troops and charged back with his halberd. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei had the same idea, and the two of them attacked from both sides, increasing the pressure on Lü Bu.

  Liu Bei's martial arts were not bad either, and his dual-stock sword was good at countering Lü Bu's aerial stabs. With the addition of Gongsun Zan using a 4-5 meter long spear to provide long-range firepower support from a distance, Lü Bu was somewhat unable to withstand it.

  "Get out of the way!", Lü Bu roared, swinging his halberd at the weakest Liu Bei. Afraid that their brother would be hurt, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only swing their arms to block it for him. Lü Bu turned around and rode away on horseback. Zhang Fei refused to give up and chased after him on horseback, with the other three following suit;

  "Whoa!", relying on Red Hare's speed, Lü Bu opened up a distance between them, placed his halberd on the horse, and with his strong bow and arrow drawn, he aimed at Gongsun Zan and shot an arrow.

  "This is a clever choice! Liu Bei was not easy to shoot in the back of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two men were also outstanding in their abilities, making it difficult for them to be hit by arrows. Only Gongsun Zan's defense was lax, and his martial arts skills were also very weak. Of course! This is how he saw it!"

  "Be careful!", Zhang Fei heard the sound of the bowstring and felt something was wrong, he reminded immediately. Gongsun Zan reacted a bit slow after hearing the reminder, fortunately he still had reaction, otherwise he would have been shot to death, only being grazed by the wolf-tooth arrow on his ribs!

  "Haha! You're getting out of hand!", Lü Bu struck with one blow, hung his bow back on the horse, and picked up the halberd to kill the general again!

  Gongsun Zan fell off his horse, his armor was all shot open, and fresh blood kept flowing down, it's quite dire! This wound is not light!

  He was also one of the vassals, and his white horse Yizong was also an elite cavalry unit. As they were about to engage in a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it would be difficult for them to hold on without Gongsun Zan's cavalry. The White Horse Yizong had already been restless after their lord was injured.

  Cao Cao immediately said: "Gentlemen, dispatch troops at once! First rescue Guan Yu's brother! Lü Bu is ferocious and brave, we should gather the eighteen lords together to discuss!"

  The crowd was unwilling, and the hundreds of thousands of troops charged forward on horseback. The provincial army also refused to show weakness and galloped out to meet them. Both sides knew it wasn't time for a decisive battle yet. After escorting their own people back, they ceased hostilities and closed ranks; the allied forces also shut their gates and refused to engage in battle again.

  The allied forces were mostly a motley crew, and the elite troops of Bianzhou only needed one charge to capture several thousand, suffering casualties of just a few hundred. Li Yu on the city wall shook his head repeatedly, how could such an army dare to claim it had over 500,000 strong soldiers? What a joke!

  If Dong Zhuo could be more astute and listen to advice, there would be no worry that great things cannot be accomplished!
