  Breathlessly and with a frightened soul, Liu Jin escaped the dueling arena and returned to his formation. His face was pale and he couldn't calm down for a while before finally recovering.

  Although he was defeated as the main general, Liu Jin's duties still needed to be performed. So he mustered up his spirit and looked at Lü Bu, who was arrayed in front of him with a proud and arrogant expression. After a moment's thought, he said to Liu Tu: "Fourth brother, you go fight him this second time!"

  "Yes!"

  Liu Tu, the fourth of the Liu family's four generals, is a general who prioritizes defense. Not only are his troops shield-bearing soldiers with the strongest defensive power, but he also has the powerful skill "Small Healing Technique" that recovers life value.

  This little treatment is also extraordinary, with an incredible and wonderful ability that can even save lives and turn the tide of defeat into victory at critical moments.

  Minor Treatment Effect: Consumes 20 points of internal energy, restores 25 points of life to oneself. During the skill's activation period, one is immune to all attacks!

  In other words, this is a blood-supplementing skill. If used well, it's not inferior to some top-notch attacking skills.

  Think about it, if the enemy general rushes over and at the last moment, you can use this to dodge the enemy general's attack for a few seconds and recover up to 25 points of life. If at that time you also have soldiers cooperating with the attack, what kind of powerful effect would that be!

  This is also the result of Liu Jin's careful consideration, and although he was unable to let Lü Bu exert his martial arts skills in the first duel, he also detected some weaknesses of Lü Bu.

  The most crucial point is that although Lü Bu himself was very powerful and had a large number of troops under his command, he also had obvious weaknesses. Although archers were the kings of long-range attacks and their attacks were extremely sharp, the drawback was that if shield-bearing soldiers, who could counter them, were able to get close, it would be a brutal slaughter for the archers!

  Lü Bu lost 22 health points in the first duel, and he was annoyed at his own carelessness. However, he didn't have much to worry about. In the first duel, not only did he successfully defeat his opponent, exhausting all of his troops, but his archers also suffered minimal losses, with only over 40 casualties. Therefore, although there were some losses, Lü Bu's confidence in victory increased by a few points.

  He has now become a second-level general, and his abilities in various aspects such as combat power and internal force seem to have improved slightly. However, only he himself is clear about the progress he has made. Becoming a second-level martial general not only gives him access to powerful group attack skills like Flame Shield, but also seems to have elevated his martial arts to a new level.

  This feeling is a very strange feeling, hard to express, but it's really existing.

  Therefore, these four did not put Lubu in their eyes at all, and this battle was just a warm-up for him.

  Liu Tu received the order and rode out on horseback. He didn't say much, just nodded to indicate that he was the general of this second battle.

  In the dueling arena, the yellow sand was blowing everywhere, and from time to time, the sound of golden spears and iron horses could be heard. On both sides, a team of cavalry appeared, with the left side being led by a young general in white armor, holding a short-chain gun, riding a brown horse with a brown mane, followed by twenty shield-bearing soldiers, while in front of him were eighty shield-bearing soldiers arranged in an adult character formation.

  This young general is Liu Tu, and the troops he commands are the Goose Formation Shield Soldiers, divided into two armies, front and back. The front army has eighty men, arranged in a goose formation, hence the name Goose Formation Army, while the twenty soldiers and horses behind are the rear guard army to protect them.

  On the right, there is a majestic figure riding a tall and powerful sweat-blooded horse, wearing a three-pronged purple-gold crown on his head, with a West Sichuan red cotton robe embroidered with a hundred flowers hanging from his body, and a beast-faced helmet with a linked ring armor draped over his shoulders. He wears a Lingyun lion belt around his waist, has a bow and arrow by his side, and holds a painted halberd in his hand. His demeanor is majestic and awe-inspiring, with eighty archers and soldiers standing before him, also forming a human character shape, similarly arrayed in a powerful goose formation!

  This is Lü Bu's first appearance, and it has a feeling that makes people's hearts uncontrollable.

  Liu Du didn't waste words. He didn't give the order for a full-scale assault, but instead had these eighty shield-bearing soldiers advance and surround Lü Bu.

  The shield-bearing soldiers were specifically designed to counter the archers, so although the archers shot desperately, the eighty shield-bearing soldiers charged towards Lü Bu with little loss, only a dozen or so soldiers being killed by arrows.

  Looking at the shield-bearing soldiers with minimal losses, Liu Tu's face finally revealed a hint of a smile. However, he did not issue an order for a full-scale assault, but instead allowed the shield-bearing soldiers to attack freely.

  However, at this time, Liu Tu's face was shocked and uncertain. He didn't understand why Lü Bu hadn't ordered the archers to block them by now, but instead let the shield-bearing soldiers surround him, and even had the archers retreat.

  Although he was skeptical in his heart, Liu Tu did not worry, but patiently waited for the shield-bearing soldiers to show off their prowess and inflict damage on Lü Bu.

  However, he was destined to be disappointed. Lü Bu's heart was filled with joy at this moment. Although he was bearing the rotating attacks of multiple Liu's shield soldiers, his health value did not decrease in the slightest, but instead slowly recovered!

  This is because his passive skill of recovering life value was activated in this duel, so his life value can be recovered.

  For a fierce general like him, as long as he can recover his life value, no matter how many soldiers come again, they cannot cause fatal damage to him. Moreover, although Lü Bu is a brave general with low intelligence, he also has the military strategist skill, which is an exclusive military skill for this kind of brave general, reducing fatigue (high)!

  This military advisor skill, for other generals, is an existence that has no use at all, because other generals generally only fight against the enemy once or twice, and their physical consumption is minimal. However, for a general like Lü Bu, this reduction in fatigue is enough to allow him to continue fighting indefinitely.

  Lu Bu believed that with his passive skill reducing fatigue (high) of the Military Advisor skill, the only thing that could bring him losses was the Group Attack skill, and even then, the losses would only be to his archer troops, while he himself would remain completely unscathed.

  "This passive skill came just in time! With this, I won't only avoid taking damage from this battle, but also fully recover my HP!"

  Lü Bu was secretly delighted.

  "Not true!"

  Liu Tu observed for a while, the number of shield-bearing soldiers was decreasing, and the damage caused to Lü Bu should also be considerable. However, looking at his face, he seemed even more spirited and energetic, which made Liu Tu start to feel uneasy.

  He knew his own strength was far inferior to that of his elder brother Liu Jin, and Lü Bu's martial arts were incredibly powerful. If something went wrong with the shield-bearing soldiers here, he would be the sinner of the four generals of the Liu family, not only failing to share worries for General Liu Dai, but also wasting some precious soldiers in vain.

  "Let's wait and see, no matter what, we will follow the established guidelines!"

  Liu Tu also didn't have any good ideas and thought to himself.

  The archers had no more harassment from the shield-bearing soldiers, and they had already retreated to the last of their space. They cooperated with Lü Bu in a leisurely manner, killing enemies, and the shield-bearing soldiers who came to attack were quickly slaughtered!

  Lü Bu's face lit up with joy, and with a wave of his flag, the eighty archers who had retreated earlier received their orders and rushed forward, shooting continuously as they attacked Liu's troops and the exposed shield-bearing soldiers.

  "Never mind, at this rate, after I'm gone, the next five shield bearers behind me will also be shot one by one!"

  Liu's uneasy feeling grew stronger, the shield-bearing soldiers did not charge forward. If the archers retreated and the shield-bearing soldiers were not able to advance, then even though they had the upper hand, they could still slowly shoot all the shield-bearing soldiers dead.

  After all, restraint is just restraint, but it's not invincibility!

  "Kill!"

  Liu Du could no longer bear the unease in his heart, and immediately issued a military order to launch a full-scale attack, while he himself also rode his horse at full speed. At this moment, he had already thought it out - even if they were defeated and captured, they would still inflict some losses on Lü Bu!

  "Haha!"

  Watching Liu Tu and the remaining ten shield-bearing soldiers charge forward, Lü Bu burst out laughing, waving his hand, and the archers who had already advanced began to retreat. Meanwhile, Lü Bu's treasured horse, the "Sweat-Blood Coursing Mare", galloped at incredible speed, charging straight towards Liu Tu!

  Lü Bu has a proud bone in him, now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to fight alone, to show off his prestige!

  Besides, each of these archers is extremely precious. If they can recover their health, then there's no need to lose any archers.

  Two will clash, in an instant they will collide with each other.

  At this contact with Lü Bu, Liu Bei's face immediately showed a look of horror!

  "Big brother clearly said that he had already taken away twenty-two points of Lü Bu's life value, but why is Lü Bu's life value full? Is big brother deceiving me? No, this can't be!"

  Liu Tuben's instinctive suspicion was that Liu Jin was deceiving himself, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that something wasn't right.

  Now he finally understood why Lü Bu was so calm and didn't want the archers' help in blocking the enemy.

  "This... This Lü Bu can actually recover his HP?!"

  Liu Tu instantly thought of a possibility, and as soon as he did, his will to fight completely disappeared. If Lü Bu, such a brave general, could recover his health, then who else could be his match!

  The many valiant generals of Xuchang were no match for Lü Bu; Liu Bei had already realized this.

  However, Liu Bei overestimated Lü Bu in this regard. Although Lü Bu's passive skill that can restore his health is powerful, it also has limitations and cannot be activated at will. Otherwise, Ding Yuan could have directly sent Lü Bu to attack Luoyang. It was only because Lü Bu's military strength was truly unmatched in the world that multiple generals had to bring large armies to besiege him, which gave them a chance to defeat him.

  His fighting spirit was completely gone, Liu Tu didn't even think of a plan, and directly fled in disarray. He himself only had 30 points of life left!

  This battle, Lü Bu's passive skill was activated, and he unleashed his divine power, not only without any loss, but also replenished the life value lost in the first round!

  At this moment, Ding Yuan, who had rushed to Cai Yang, happened to see this situation, and his eyes were filled with joy!
