The 55th time before Tiger Trap Pass, the killing sound is urgent, and the morale of the ten thousand troops is shocked.

  Tongguan Pass, fifty miles away from Luoyang. It was named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty who caged tigers here.

  Here, Qin set up a pass and Han set up a county to form a defense. The Tiger Pass is connected to Mount Song in the south and borders the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and ridges intersecting each other, forming a natural barrier. It has the momentum of one man holding the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it, making it a must-contend place for military strategists throughout history.

  In the fifth year of Lu Yigong in the Spring and Autumn period, Zheng defeated the Yan army here; In the second year of Lu Xianggong, Jin Daowang met with the vassals at Qi to plot against Zheng, using Meng Xianzi's plan "to build a city in Huilao to force Zheng", and began building a city here; During the Chu-Han contention for hegemony, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought over the city and seized control of the pass.

  Tiger Pass and Ziwu Pass were originally one entity, but after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, in order to make this strategic location invincible, he specially set up Ziwu Pass dozens of miles northeast of Tiger Pass. Since then, Tiger Pass and Ziwu Pass have become interdependent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, like a natural barrier.

  Yuan Shao led the twelve vassals to Hu Lao Pass, but saw people's heads crowded on the pass, flags fluttering, and really didn't know how many horses came into the pass.

  After the formation was completed, Yuan Shao took the central position, commanding the three armies, while Ma Teng commanded the right army and Sun Jian commanded the left army.

  Before Yuan Shao could give the order to attack, he saw the gates of Tiger Trap Pass swing open wide. A man with a purple gold crown on his head and wearing a suit of linked armor adorned with animal faces emerged from the pass at the head of a large army.

  "How dare you rebel! Don't you quickly surrender?"

  Yuan Shao saw that it was Lü Bu and turned to the surrounding generals, saying: "This is Lü Bu. Who among you wishes to fight him first?"

  Huang Gai did not say a word, and strode out. Before Yuan Shao could give the order, he had already mounted his horse and charged towards Lü Bu.

  Lü Bu saw a man with a long whip in his hand coming to kill him and slowly rode up on his Red Hare horse.

  At that moment when Lü Bu was about to strike with his whip, Lü Bu barely managed to muster up the energy to respond.

  Huang Yueh fought with all his might, swinging left and right, but Lü Bu didn't take him seriously at all, the Guandao in his hand remained passive.

  "Little brat, you're getting too arrogant!" Huang Gai shouted loudly, scaring the Lu Bu's horse to retreat several steps back.

  Lü Bu smiled and thrust his spear several times, but Huang Gai dodged each attack.

  Seeing this situation, Lü Bu finally came to his senses and focused on fighting back.

  After exchanging blows with Huang Yue for over a dozen rounds without gaining the upper hand, Lü Bu grew impatient.

  He saw him turn his wrist, and that square sky painting halberd flew like a snowflake, stabbing directly at Huang Ge's chest.

  Huang Guai's eyes were dazzled and he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake, so he had to use his iron whip to wildly strike.

  When he suddenly realized that there was only a Fang Tianhua halberd in front of him, the crescent-shaped blade on the Fang Tianhua halberd had already brushed past his neck, leaving a blood mark on his neck in an instant.

  Huang Ge touched the scar on his neck with his hand and took a deep breath. The various princes who saw this scene were all shocked.

  Zhang Fei, who never yielded to anyone, saw this and said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "It seems that this San Sheng Jia Nu is indeed quite capable, we must be careful when we fight him later!"

  Lü Bu saw that Huang Gai had no intention of retreating, and he tightly grasped his halberd, "Looking for death" seemed to emanate from the gaps between his teeth, which seemed to contain infinite power.

  Huang Gu's eyes were already filled with blood, he glared at Lü Bu, let out a long roar, and the iron whip seemed to contain the power of ten thousand forces as it struck towards Lü Bu.

  Lü Bu used his halberd to block, and suddenly felt a numbness in both hands. However, he suddenly exerted great force, swung the halberd back, and its sharp metal tip once again struck towards Huang Gai's neck. Huang Gai was greatly shocked, and with a loud cry, spurred on his horse, which let out a long whinny, and lifted its two legs off the ground.

  When the crowd heard the horse whinny again, Lü Bu's halberd had already stabbed directly into its neck.

  Huang Gai was about to be overwhelmed when Cheng Pu rushed to his rescue with an iron-tipped spear.

  Sun Jian also couldn't sit still at this time and led Han Dang, Huang Zu and others to charge forward together.

  Lü Bu saw that four great generals had come one after another, and he was not in the mood to fight them. He simply pointed his long spear, and Dong Zhuo's elite troops, who had been waiting behind Lü Bu, charged forward like a tidal wave amidst a chorus of battle cries.

  Sun Jian did not expect Lü Bu to make a move, and he also ignored Yuan Shao's order to withdraw his troops. He only saw him give an order, and the Jiangdong young masters rushed over like fierce tigers!

  However, Dong Zhuo's elite cavalrymen, who were accustomed to fighting on horseback, seemed to look down on these Jiangdong warriors and suffered significant losses in the first round of clashes.

  Yuan Shao saw that things were going badly and immediately ordered Ma Teng and others to send troops to assist.

  Ma Teng pointed his hand, and the Western Liang cavalry under his command charged forward bravely. The sound of killing shook the sky in front of Tiger Trap Pass for a while.

  At this time when the battle was most intense, suddenly tens of thousands of arrows flew over from above Tiger Trap Pass.

  Yuan Shao couldn't help but admire Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness, using crossbowmen in the midst of a chaotic battle between friend and foe.

  However, cavalry encountered crossbowmen, and they were even crossbowmen from Guan, so even if the speed was faster, it would be in vain.

  As both sides were evenly matched, Yuan Shao ordered his troops to retreat as a precaution.

  Lü Bu saw Yuan Shao's troops retreating and immediately ordered his men: "Everyone, the rebel is defeated and fleeing! The outcome of this battle depends on this one move! Charge for me!"

  Yuan Shao never thought that Lü Bu's audacity would be so great, and under the circumstances where his large army had not been greatly affected, he actually dared to order a pursuit.

  He immediately inquired of the various princes who dared to go forward and respond to the battle.

  Ma Fu stepped forward and said: "Let Ma take his men and cavalry to meet this guy who doesn't know death."

  Having said that, Ma Chao led his five thousand troops in a charge against Lü Bu's great army.

  Lü Bu, who was making a desperate pursuit, saw a small group of cavalry approaching and immediately ordered his troops to annihilate them all!

  Ma Chao, Yin Feng and Yun Yue led the way with their horses, bringing 5,000 cavalrymen to pierce directly into the heart of Lü Bu's army like a sharp knife.

  But all he saw was that the horseman's spear swept across a dozen or so people with one stroke, while the two black cloths of the cloud eagle were like ghosts, suddenly appearing and disappearing.

  Yin Feng saw two black cloths and immediately thought that the small guard beside Ma Fu was actually the mysterious masked woman from before.

  "Heavens! Another beauty disguising herself as a man!" Yin Feng muttered to himself, envying Ma Fu's good fortune as he fought off the enemy.

  The horses ridden by Ma Chao's cavalry were all superior horses from Shangdang, and in terms of both speed and endurance, they surpassed ordinary horses.

  In the midst of Lü Bu's army's siege, Ma Chao's five thousand elite cavalry were like entering a deserted land. Lü Bu was greatly shocked and immediately ordered: "Behead Ma Chao and reward him with a thousand pieces of gold, and enfeoff him as a marquis of ten thousand households!"

  Faced with such temptation, those soldiers each fought bravely forward, until the groom was surrounded in circle after circle.

  The various lords who were retreating saw such a shocking scene, and they were all surprised. However, they saw that Ma Teng was intensifying his withdrawal of troops, so they didn't have any intention of going to rescue Ma Fu at all.

  The soldiers surrounding Ma Fu were getting more and more, while Ma Fu had no intention of retreating at all, even Ma Teng secretly wiped a sweat for him.

  Dong Zhuo, who saw this scene on the top of Tiger Trap Pass, ordered all soldiers inside the pass to charge forward immediately, seeing that only a small force of 5,000 men led by Ma Chao was fighting with considerable might.

  Yin Feng saw the soldiers who were blocking out the sky and sun, he completely lost his patience, shouting at the groom: "Ma Tai Shou, you should retreat quickly!"

  Ma Chao pointed his spear, and Yin Feng understood, hastily leading the cavalry to charge back. Meanwhile, Ma Chao and Yun Ying were surrounded by Lü Bu's army in the center.

  The groom made an effort to get close to Yunying and said to her: "Withdraw!"

  Yun Ying's face was cold and stern, but seeing two black cloths rushing forward, opening a bloody path.

  Two men galloped to catch up with the cavalry led by Yin Feng, and Lü Bu saw that they could still rush out of the encirclement in this situation, so he was furious and personally led a team of cavalry to chase them.

  After chasing for over ten miles, Lü Bu saw Ma Chao and Yunying within a short distance, so he urged the cavalry to move forward again.

  But suddenly a loud noise, several horseshoes actually appeared as if they came out of nowhere from underground.

  Lü Bu was greatly shocked and hastily ordered a retreat, but what came towards him were arrows. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo led his army to follow up, which relieved Lü Bu from the siege.

  After the bandits' defeat and retreat, Ma Teng and Cao Cao rode up on horseback, laughing. The groom smiled and said: "Thanks for the cooperation!"

  Cao Cao praised: "This Lü Bu is really brave but lacks strategy, we three just used a small trick and made him retreat in disarray, such an opponent is not worth worrying about!"

  Ma Teng disagreed: "Lü Bu's bravery is not inferior to Ma Chao, today's plan is too risky. Ma Chao relies solely on his own bravery, if Dong Zhuo were to charge over directly, we would find it difficult to retreat unscathed."

  Cao Cao burst out laughing and said, "At present, the enemy and our army are evenly matched. Do you think Dongzi would be so reckless? The soldiers under his command now are all he has! I, Cao, have always believed from start to finish that Ma Taisu can retreat unscathed..."
