The 48th chapter: The Great Battle of Lu Bu and the Red Hare

  Ma Fu originally wanted to tell Yun Ying to think of another way, but what made him shocked was that Yun Ying seemed not afraid of them searching his body at all, and instead walked forward with a swagger.

  The soldiers guarding the gate saw such a handsome man and immediately said disdainfully: "What are you looking at, hurry up and strip!"

  Yun Ying didn't say a word and slapped him hard, instantly leaving five fingerprints on the soldier's face.

  "Seeking death! Brothers follow me up!" A soldier covering his face with one hand looked ferocious, as if he could swallow that Yunying whole.

  Dozens of soldiers immediately surrounded Yunying, with more than a dozen long guns pointing at her belly.

  The groom standing beside him had already clenched his fists, ready for battle at any moment.

  Yun Ying calmly pulled out a token from his bosom in the face of this situation.

  As he held up the tablet for those soldiers to see, almost all of them immediately knelt down on the ground.

  The soldier who had just been beaten by Yunying was trembling and kneeling, with a large patch of wetness.

  Yun Ying kicked him to the ground with one foot and shouted loudly: "I'm in a good mood today, I don't want to kill anyone, otherwise you'll all go die!"

  After speaking, Yunying swaggered over, and Ma Fu and Diao Chan hastily followed.

  There were soldiers who wanted to stop them, but Yun Ying suddenly turned his head back, and the soldier was sensible enough to hastily salute and let them pass.

  As soon as they left the city gate, someone was already leading several horses waiting for them, including the horse that had been ridden by the groom.

  The groom looked back at the soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground, feeling that all of this was truly too amazing. What made him applaud with excitement was that Yun Ying had even prepared horses for them.

  Looking at their puzzled faces, Yunying said: "I don't have time to explain to you two now, this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, hurry up and leave!"

  Yun Ying finished speaking and jumped onto his horse, while Diao Chan's face showed a difficult expression.

  The groom nodded in agreement and said softly, "Ride my Blood Charger." After that, he reached out to hold onto Diao Chan's slender waist, exerted a bit of force, and placed her safely on the back of the Blood Charger. He then mounted the horse and sat behind Diao Chan.

  For the first time, Diao Chan felt so close to Ma Chao that she was not used to it. Especially when Ma Chao reached out to take the reins, Diao Chan felt that Ma Chao was almost pressing against her back, and the strong masculine aura made her almost breathless.

  Zhen's face was flushed, her heart racing with excitement. The groom, of course, understood her emotions and whispered, "If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, miss."

  What made Mu Fu's heart skip a beat was that Diao Chan didn't say anything offending, but instead said directly: "From now on, you don't have to shout like that, just call my name directly."

  Ma Fu smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I also feel that calling you like that is a bit awkward. From now on, I'll just call you Diao Chan directly."

  Seeing such a corny side, Yunying really couldn't take it anymore. She said loudly: "Are you still talking about love here? Haven't you seen that Lü Bu has already arrived at the city gate?"

  Ma Chao originally thought that Lü Bu was intentionally trying to scare him, but when he turned his head to look, Lü Bu indeed brought several dozen cavalrymen to the front of the city gate. At the same time, a few soldiers were pointing and gesturing at them in front of Lü Bu.

  The groom was startled and hastily urged the horse on, whereupon it immediately broke into a gallop.

  Lü Bu found out that the soldiers guarding the city had been deceived, and he was furious. Moreover, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of Diao Chan's figure, which made him even angrier, and he directly used his halberd to behead one of the soldiers guarding the city.

  "Charge!" Lü Bu rode forward, taking the lead in pursuit. The several dozen cavalrymen behind him didn't dare to slack off; except for one person who went to summon more cavalry, all of them quickly followed up.

  Ma Chao, Yun Ying and others rushed for thirty miles, but Lü Bu still pursued them relentlessly. Seeing that Lü Bu's cavalry was not many, Ma Chao said to Yun Ying: "This guy is too arrogant, if we don't destroy his prestige today, he will really think that the governor is a timid mouse."

  Yun Ying listened to her and immediately pulled the reins, put his hands on his waist and said: "I'd love to watch the excitement."

  Ma Chao handed Diaochan over to Yunwu for protection and then rode his horse to fight Lü Bu with bare hands.

  Lü Bu saw a young man in casual clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, coming empty-handed, and turned to gesture to the several cavalrymen behind him.

  Those cavalrymen charged forward bravely, killing the groom, and for a moment dust flew everywhere, horses neighed and the wind was fierce.

  The groom saw this situation, smiled slightly, and patted the blood-soaked back with his hand. The blood-soaked horse let out a few loud neighs, shaking the air, and several cavalrymen who heard the sound were frightened. But with Lü Bu pressing from behind, they dared not retreat.

  "Take his life!" A cavalryman plucked up his courage and took the initiative, sweeping a long spear across.

  The groom suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse's front legs flew up, easily avoiding his blow.

  The cavalryman was suddenly enraged, let out a loud roar, and directly stabbed at the groom. The groom slightly shifted his body, and as the long spear flashed in front of his eyes, he grasped the spear with one hand, kicked his ankle, and galloped away. In an instant, the groom had already stuck to the cavalryman's face.

  The cavalryman was terrified, but where could he hide from the groom's attack? The groom suddenly kicked him, and the cavalryman fell to the ground with his horse. And the long gun in his hand was now firmly grasped by the groom.

  Lü Bu had never thought that this young-looking guy would have such power. He was furious and shouted: "What are you waiting for, attack him!"

  His voice had just fallen when a dozen cavalrymen surrounded the groom, who stretched his waist and turned to Yunying: "Brother, watch out!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted a slight force under his feet, and with a burst of speed like a swift swallow, he took off in a flash. Meanwhile, the dozen or so cavalrymen only felt a white light flashing before their eyes, and in an instant, the front legs of the horses they were riding had all disappeared.

  "How fast!" Lü Bu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this scene.

  Yun Ying said loudly to Ma Fu: "You're going easy on him again."

  Ma Fu Yan smiled and now that Diao Chan was here, he really didn't want him to see such a bloody scene.

  However, the battle has just begun.

  Lü Bu, who had been furious for a long time, saw a group of rice buckets lying on the ground and groaning, shouted "drive" and rode the Red Hare horse, neighing constantly, rushing into the bloody battle.

  "What a fine horse!" The groom couldn't help but praise the speed of Red Hare. It seemed that the reputation of "Red Hare among horses" was not undeserved. As for whether "Lü Bu among men" was a name that lived up to its fame, it was hard to say, and only after fighting him dozens of times would one know for sure.

  "Nameless rats, report your names!" Lü Bu rode his horse to a place two zhang away from Ma Chao and pointed at him with the halberd of Fang Tian, looking quite majestic.

  Looking at Lü Bu, who was wearing golden helmet and silver armor with a fierce look on his face, the groom smiled and said: "A horse breeder from Xiliang. Please give us more guidance, General Lü."

  Lü Bu immediately thought of the groom who had defeated Guo Si's army and said, "Are you not Ma Chao, the newly appointed Governor of Wuwei?"

  The groom put on a surprised and honored look and said: "I didn't expect General Lü to know the governor, it's really an honor for the governor!"

  Lü Bu heard him call himself "Ben Taishou" and laughed loudly, saying: "Since you still know to call yourself Ben Taishou, why are you so bold and lawless? Are you trying to rebel?"

  The groom suddenly raised his long spear, and the spear instantly inserted three points into the ground. He put his hands on his waist and said: "Rebellion? Rebellion against whose family? Are you and that Dong Ze not rebelling? What qualifications do you have to comment on the behavior of this county governor?"

  Lü Bu had never been underestimated so much before. He let out a loud roar, the sound reaching the clouds. The groom drew his long spear and charged forward to kill him.

  Lü Bu's Heaven Halberd was indeed used with divine transformation, changing unpredictably. The groom had already fully felt his momentum in the midst of receiving the blow.

  Moreover, his horsemanship was even more outstanding, and for a while, the groom could only be in a passive defensive state.

  Yun Ying, who was standing beside Diao Chan, said in a low voice after seeing this scene: "You must urge him to practice horse riding more often from now on!"

  Diao Chan looked up at him with a hint of shyness and said: "How is it that there's a faint scent on you?"

  Yun Ying was afraid of being discovered by her, so she hastily said: "It's just a sachet, just a sachet."

  "Haven't seen the sachet?"

  "In his bosom, in his bosom." Yun Ying pointed, and Diao Chan quickly turned her head away.

  Lü Bu and Ma Chao were still in the heat of battle, while Diao Chan clenched her fists tightly, she had never been so tense before, nor had she ever worried about a young man like this.

  Lü Bu had not met an opponent for a long time, and seeing Ma Chao was indeed a worthy opponent. He attacked left and right, using his halberd with all his might, and before he knew it, they had already clashed in forty rounds of fierce battle.

  Although Ma Chao has not yet taken the initiative to make a move, he has learned a lot from Lü Bu's method of driving Red Hare.

  Lü Bu's warhorse, Red Hare, was almost always by his side in battle. It was rare for a horse and rider to be so well-matched.

  Upon closer inspection, the groom discovered that Lü Bu's number of stirrup kicks before launching a fierce attack and before launching an ordinary attack were different.

  Before a fierce attack, he will kick three times, and for an ordinary attack, he will only kick twice.

  According to historical records, the stirrup appeared in the 3rd century AD, that is, after the Three Kingdoms period. After Ma Fu's soul wore it, he indeed saw the stirrup, which was different from the one he had seen in the museum before. The stirrups of the Three Kingdoms were still relatively rough and simple. When you put your feet in, it would be very uncomfortable. However, without stirrups, riding a horse would be even more uncomfortable. It's hard to imagine that for people who ride horses, having their legs clamped on the horse's belly all the time is a particularly painful thing. Especially for cavalry known for their speed, without stirrups, their speed would decrease significantly.

  Although the craftsmanship is rough, this stirrup has already possessed the prototype of the later common stirrups. What the groom regrets now is that before his soul crossed over, he never thought of studying this unassuming but extremely powerful stirrup carefully.

  To know that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty could gallop thousands of miles, to a certain extent, also had the credit of this stirrup...
