Chapter 21: The Brave Zhao Zi Long! Li You Breaks Through Dong Zhuo!

  Last time, we said that Zhao Yun ordered the death of the city of Xiapi and led his troops to deploy outside the city gate. He also made it clear that no matter what happened, the city gate would not be opened! Although Zhao Yun's Yizhou cavalry corps were all elite soldiers with over 10,000 men, Lü Bu had brought 50,000 Western Liang iron cavalry to Xiapi first. Zhao Yun took advantage of the weakness of Lü Bu's scattered troops and led his army to charge into the Western Liang iron cavalry for a decisive battle! It was not easy for Lü Bu to unite these people. But Zhao Yun also knew that in order to win this uneven battle, he had to hold on to Xiapi and wait for Li Jue to attack Dong Zhuo from both sides.

  Among them, there is a very important force, that is, the Hogo who defended the city of Xiacun. Before Zhao Yun left the city, he handed over the command of Xiacun to Hogo! Moreover, he gave Hogo an order to die, telling Hogo that no matter how long Zhao Yun persisted outside with Dong Zhuo's army, he was not allowed to open the city gate to let Zhao Yun in. Even if Zhao Yun had great difficulties, even if Zhao Yun would fight with all his might and die in this battle, Hogo was not allowed to come and rescue him. The order given by Zhao Yun to Hogo was to hold out and wait for reinforcements, waiting for Li Yu's army to arrive.

  This command is not something that ordinary people can accomplish. It requires a big heart, and even with a big heart, it's still not enough; one must also be willing to risk their life. Even being willing to risk one's life is not enough; one must also possess exceptional martial arts skills. People with exceptional martial arts skills are rare, and those with big hearts are also uncommon. However, people who have both a big heart and exceptional martial arts skills, and are also willing to risk their lives, are even rarer. Among the Liu Bei's troops in Xuchang at this time, only Zhao Yun can undertake such an important task. Moreover, Zhao Yun is truly not afraid of Lü Bu! In his heart, Zhao Yun thinks that he should take advantage of this opportunity to kill Lü Bu and eliminate future troubles, even if it means dying in battle.

  At this critical moment, Zhao Yun did not expect that behind him was a tight follow-up of the 10,000-strong Yizhou Iron Cavalry. This 10,000-strong iron cavalry was later deeply appreciated by Liu Bei and Li Yu, and can also be said to be the prototype of the Zhao family army. Zhao Yun's courage was great, he fought without regard for his life, and his martial arts were high and powerful. The 10,000-strong iron cavalry led by Zhao Yun was even more brave and invincible, surpassing Cao's later tiger and leopard cavalry. This battle was also a famous battle of the flying dragon cavalry. After this battle, in this world, there was only one person who could be mentioned with the name "Zilong of Changshan", and no one did not say that Zhao Yun was a man of great courage. If two words were to be used to describe his bravery, they would have to be "tiger's gall". Those who knew Zhao Yun knew that these two words as his label were most appropriate. At this time, how could Zhao Yun still hesitate? As the commander-in-chief in the army, defending the city was crucial at this moment, and the opportunity to fight against Lü Bu was what he had been longing for. How could he possibly miss this excellent opportunity?

  Actually, before Zhao Yun made his solo charge, two other generals, Leng Bao and Wu Yi, also volunteered to lead troops outside. However, although Leng Bao was a tall and strong man, in terms of military status and martial arts skills, he was only average. At such an important moment, how could Zhao Yun let him take on such a great responsibility? In the end, Zhao Yun made his solo charge outside, leading the troops to attack Dong Zhuo's camp, not allowing Dong Zhuo's army to form a battle array to attack Xiangyang!

  The only way to get into the city of Down is through a single road, which is the one that Zhao Yun just charged with his troops. Since arriving from Lü Bu's Western Iron Cavalry, Zhao Yun has been charging and killing for seven times now. Although Lü Bu has formed an array, Zhao Yun doesn't care about him at all! Lü Bu is so angry, but no matter how angry he gets, it's useless. Zhao Yun is desperately harvesting the Western Iron Cavalry led by Lü Bu! Lü Bu can only follow along the road where Zhao Yun charged and ask for battle while shrinking his troops to surround Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun won't let Lü Bu get his way so easily! Zhao Yun's charge is just one sentence: "With guns in hand, follow me!" The Yizhou Iron Cavalry behind him didn't care about anything, they tightly followed Zhao Yun and charged into the battle. Zhao Yun swung his dragon-slaying spear to kill, while the cavalry behind him wielded their knives to fight. Under Zhao Yun's dragon-slaying spear, Lü Bu's Western Iron Cavalry was like a wine sack, taking their heads as easy as taking things out of a bag.

  However, although Zhao Yun was fierce, he had charged into the Western Liang Iron Cavalry led by Lü Bu. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry was also a powerful and renowned force in the world. At first, Zhao Yun's attack was very effective, but later on, his repeated charges were met with strong resistance from the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Just then, Dong Zhuo arrived with his army, and Zhao Yun saw that he had countless soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army in front of him and Lü Bu's reinforcements behind him, making it extremely difficult for him to advance, as if climbing a sky-high mountain.

  Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, and at this moment, he was no longer the white-armored and white-helmeted general. Now, Zhao Yun's armor was stained with blood, and his Dragon Spear was dripping with blood from its tip! The Yizhou Iron Cavalry led by Zhao Yun had also lost nearly half of its men. Although Zhao Yun had launched a surprise attack, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry lived up to its reputation. During the third charge organized by Zhao Yun, although the Western Liang Iron Cavalry had not yet formed an array, they had already begun to fight individually with Zhao Yun's troops, and both sides were killing each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

  Although the Western Liang Iron Cavalry suffered more losses, Zhao Yun's side also suffered heavy casualties! The ground was covered with limbs and blood, showing how fierce the battle was at this moment.

  At this time, Lü Bu led his army to charge over, and Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, today we may all die here, but it is precisely because of our death that we have won this battle! Now the great general is leading the army to come and support you, are you afraid?" The Yizhou Iron Cavalry behind him shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow General Zhao to death!" Zhao Yun heard this and roared with anger: "Good brothers, even if I die, I, Zhao Yun, will die ahead of you! With guns in hand, follow me!" Zhao Yun charged forward to meet Lü Bu!

  Lü Bu was taken aback, for he had never seen anyone as desperate as Zhao Yun. He didn't expect Zhao Yun to charge towards him instead of retreating. Lü Bu himself was not to be underestimated, and he took advantage of the situation by waving his halberd to replace military orders. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry suddenly accelerated and charged towards Zhao Yun. As both sides were cavalry, their horses' charging speed was very fast. Lü Bu's Western Liang Iron Cavalry formed a dense phalanx with their long spears, while Zhao Yun ordered his cavalry to start throwing their long spears. During this intense battle, a sudden change occurred. Even the renowned Lü Bu did not expect that over 5,000 long spears would be thrown at him. Although Lü Bu wielded his halberd to protect himself, he could not protect the Western Liang Iron Cavalry behind him from the hail of spears. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry was caught off guard and many were killed or injured by the spears, with some horses being struck and falling to the ground. Lü Bu's anger grew! Although he did not admit defeat to Zhao Yun, he had to acknowledge that the Yizhou cavalry's combat power far surpassed that of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Yun led his army in a charge towards Lü Bu. The two armies' cavalry clashed at high speed, and both Zhao Yun and Lü Bu knew that their confrontation would be brief. Although their individual duel was fleeting, Zhao Yun's cavalry wielded their sabers to fiercely attack the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. In this short exchange, nearly 2,000 of Lü Bu's men were killed or wounded. However, Zhao Yun also suffered heavy losses, with over 700 soldiers lost in this single attack.

  Li Ru was a military strategist under Dong Zhuo. Li Ru saw this and immediately suggested to Dong Zhuo that the whole army should surround Zhao Yun's troops, compressing the encirclement of Zhao Yun. Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion! Immediately gave orders to the troops, Dong Zhuo still had nearly 40,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry and over a million infantrymen, who immediately joined the battle!

  Zhao Yun and Lü Bu clashed once, and then they saw Dong Zhuo's troops move. Zhao Yun saw that Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji led the cavalry to encircle his rear, trying to shrink the circle of encirclement around him! Without thinking, Zhao Yun drew an arrow and shot it. Like a bullet, the arrow flew for a while before reaching Zhang Ji's eyes, shooting straight into his brain. Zhang Ji died on the spot, and Zhao Yun took advantage of this opportunity to launch another fierce attack on Zhang Ji's cavalry! Zhang Ji's army suffered heavy casualties, and Zhao Yun's soldiers wielded their sabers wildly, harvesting the enemy's lives! However, at this time, Dong Zhuo's infantry arrived. Some of the warhorses were tripped by Dong Zhuo's infantry, and these Yizhou cavalrymen didn't hesitate to swing their sabers fiercely, even if it meant death, they would take Dong Zhuo's soldiers' lives with them! This was a battle to the death!

  Zhao Yun broke out of the encirclement, and when he looked back, he found that there were less than three thousand brothers following him, while his own soldiers were still fighting with the enemy in the enemy's formation! Zhao Yun wanted to go and rescue them, but it was impossible. If he fell into the enemy's encirclement, it would be a disaster for Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun wiped away his tears and launched a new round of attacks!

  This time, trouble came! The ones charging towards him were none other than Lü Bu's Western Liang Iron Cavalry! Zhao Yun wielded his Dragon-Headed Spear and clashed with Lü Bu in front of him, but Lü Bu was no ordinary person. He was the invincible great general of the Three Kingdoms, and he countered Zhao Yun's attack with a sweep of his spear that could kill thousands of soldiers!

  Zhao Yun dodged the attack, but the soldiers behind him were not so lucky. Lü Bu's single sweep killed four or five of them! Zhao Yun was a cautious person and knew that this was not the time to engage in a decisive battle with Lü Bu.

  He didn't stop his horse and charged forward, straight into Lü Bu's cavalry formation! Lü Bu also didn't stop and charged forward, straight into Zhao Yun's cavalry formation! Zhao Yun clashed with Lü Bu's cavalry, but behind him was Dong Zhuo's army. He didn't stop and just kept charging forward!

  Zhao Yun fiercely charged and killed his way through the enemy lines! Lü Bu was also frantically reaping the lives of Zhao Yun's soldiers!

  As Zhao Yun charged out and reformed his troops, he realized that only a short time had passed since their previous battle, yet he was left with less than 1,000 men. However, Zhao Yun made a decision that even Lü Bu and Li Ru did not anticipate - he launched another charge! This second charge greatly exceeded the expectations of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Lü Bu. Since they had not expected Zhao Yun to counterattack instead of retreating, they were unprepared, and Zhao Yun was able to break through with ease. Turning back, he saw that this time he had lost less than 100 men. Zhao Yun estimated that Dong Zhuo's army was also overconfident, thinking that after suffering heavy losses, Zhao Yun would only retreat and flee, and would never dare to launch another charge. But the unexpected happened - Zhao Yun really did counterattack! Although before this battle, Zhao Yun was not well-known, through this one battle, his bravery will surely shake the world! It will inevitably make a star general rise to prominence!

  Lü Bu gazed at Zhao Yun from afar, gritting his teeth in anger. He abandoned the infantry behind him and led the cavalry to launch a new wave of attack! Dong Zhuo relied on two people: his son-in-law Li Ru and Lü Bu. Seeing Lü Bu abandon his troops and charge towards Zhao Yun, Dong Zhuo thought it was dangerous for Lü Bu to rush forward alone, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to follow closely behind him. Zhao Yun had planned to reorganize his troops before launching another attack, but seeing Lü Bu approaching, he had no choice but to lead his men to meet the charge.

  Before the charge, Zhao Yun looked back at his brothers behind him! Zhao Yun cast a trusting glance at these brothers, as if to say that he believed in them. Although Zhao Yun had only six or seven hundred men at this time, their morale was greatly shaken, and not one of them escaped from the battlefield, all closely following Zhao Yun to meet the enemy head-on!

  At this time, Zhao Yun's state was one of "though thousands of people, I will go" fearless and heroic, directly attacking Lü Bu and leaving. The two cavalry formations briefly clashed again, and after this clash, the number of soldiers under Zhao Yun's command had decreased to less than 200! However, at this time, Zhao Yun regarded Dong Zhuo's army as his own backyard, swinging his long spear and killing left and right, coming and going freely. This time, Zhao Yun did not rush out of the enemy formation but began to kill in all directions without a clear goal! The soldiers behind him closely followed, wherever Zhao Yun went, they would follow! Zhao Yun could let go and kill because he was surrounded by Dong Zhuo's soldiers on all sides, Lü Bu couldn't do that! So Lü Bu had no choice but to chase after Zhao Yun as quickly as possible.

  Dong Zhuo's military advisor, Li Ru, repeatedly deliberated and came up with a plan! Li Ru pointed to the south with his hand and suggested to Dong Zhuo: "You can order General Wang Fang to lead his troops to ambush on that small path in the south, and then order the soldiers to prepare long spears to turn Zhao Yun into a hedgehog." Dong Zhuo basically followed his son-in-law's advice and immediately agreed to Li Ru's suggestion, ordering Wang Fang to make preparations!

  Unfortunately, Zhao Yun was not injured, but his fate was sealed and he could not escape the treacherous plan of the little man. When Zhao Yun rode his horse through the narrow path in the south with ambushes set up on both sides, long spears suddenly emerged from both sides. Although Zhao Yun narrowly escaped death, his soldiers were wounded, and many intestines spilled out. At this time, there were less than 15 people following him! Zhao Yun was furious and swung his dragon-slaying spear, killing his way to the front of Wang Fang, without even asking any questions. With a swift motion, he thrust his spear into Wang Fang's throat, and Wang Fang tried to dodge but Zhao Yun's spear was too fast, like a shooting star, it pierced through Wang Fang's throat in an instant. Zhao Yun was still not satisfied! Most of the brothers who had narrowly escaped with him were killed here, and Zhao Yun pressed down on the hilt of his dragon-slaying spear, lifting Wang Fang's body up, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw Wang Fang's corpse into the pile of spears. Poor Wang Fang was not only dead but also pierced by thousands of spears, becoming a human hedgehog! This matter had not yet come to an end. Zhao Yun swung his dragon-slaying spear for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and almost killed all of Wang Fang's ambushing soldiers. The remaining living soldiers saw how mighty Zhao Yun was and immediately turned around and ran. Zhao Yun was enraged, and with a fierce cry, he chased after them on horseback! Until he had killed the last person, Zhao Yun did not stop, turning his horse to charge into Dong Zhuo's army formation! At this moment, Zhao Yun only had one thought in mind: to engage in a great battle with Lü Bu! And at this time, all of Zhao Yun's soldiers were scattered and not a single soldier followed him. Thus, Zhao Yun rode alone, charging recklessly into the midst of Dong Zhuo's army camp.

  Dong Zhuo's military advisor, Li Ru, had a poisonous plan. He ordered the archers to spread out and wait for Zhao Yun to charge in, then they would shoot him dead with arrows. Dong Zhuo didn't appreciate talent like Cao Gong did, so he was very confident in his arrangement for his son-in-law! Meanwhile, Lü Bu was also searching everywhere for Zhao Yun, wanting to duel with Zilong.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Zhao Yun soon rushed towards Dong Zhuo's location. Hundreds of bows and arrows were aimed at Zhao Yun, with arrows flying everywhere.

  Zhoa Yun didn't want the flying arrows to hurt himself and his friends' beloved horses, but he also wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. So, Zhao Yun disregarded his own safety, wielding his dragon-slaying spear like a dancing pear blossom, protecting himself above and covering his horse below, advancing amidst the rain of arrows.

  Arrows shot towards him with a whoosh. Zhao Yun used his Dragon Guandao to deflect the flying arrows and roared, "Rebel traitor Dong Zhuo, come forth and meet your death! Zilong Zhao Yun of Changshan has arrived!" Dong Zhuo was shocked, just then Lü Bu rushed over, blocking Zhao Yun's path, clashing with him in a flurry of blows. At this moment, Zhao Yun had no qualms, directly engaging Lü Bu in combat!

  At this time, Zhao Yun relied on his unparalleled bravery and was like a tank, sweeping away all obstacles, successfully and brilliantly completing his mission.

  So what's left is to defeat Lü Bu and fulfill his dream!

  This was a fierce battle, with Zhao Yun leading 10,000 cavalry against Dong Zhuo's army of 200,000. In this battle, Zhao Yun gained fame in one battle, and what remained to be seen was whether he could defeat Lü Bu as he wished.

  Lü Bu and Zhao Yun exchanged blows for over a dozen rounds, Lü Bu waited for the right moment to strike with a sudden sweep. Zhao Yun used his spear to deflect the attack, and countered with a thrust of his own, aiming straight at Lü Bu's throat. Lü Bu was equally impressive, calmly drawing back his halberd to block Zhao Yun's Dragon's Spear with a loud clang, then swiftly turning it around to slash at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun saw the heavy blow coming and used his spear to deflect it. Not waiting for Lü Bu to retract his halberd, Zhao Yun seized the moment when their horses crossed paths to launch a triple thrust, three swift and successive strikes that aimed straight at Lü Bu's vital spots. Lü Bu barely dodged each attack with difficulty. By this point, Lü Bu and Zhao Yun had already clashed for over a hundred rounds!

  Just then, Dong Zhuo's remaining general, Dong Wen, arrived with his troops and reported to Dong Zhuo that Li Yu had taken advantage of the situation to seize the camp and was now heading in their direction. Dong Zhuo was shocked; he had not expected Li Yu to move so quickly. He hastily prepared to retreat, but before they could do so, a loud battle cry arose as Li Yu led the vanguard, Guan Yu commanded the left wing, and Guang Jia brought up the rear with the main army!

  At this time, the war drums of Liu Bei's army were like thunder, and all the generals in the city were worried about Zhao Yun. They feared that Zhao Yun would suffer a loss, and when Li Yu led his troops to kill him, Wu Yi asked for orders from Huo Jie to send troops to support Zhao Yun. Wu Yi wielded his large knife and arrived at the front of the army, shouting: "General Zhao, don't be alarmed, I've come to rescue you!" Zhao Yun was indeed tired at this time, and he saw an opportunity to jump out of the encirclement, shouting: "Don't worry about me, quickly coordinate with the Grand Marshal to attack Dong Zhuo's army array, and eliminate Dong Zhuo!" Wu Yi heard Zhao Yun's words and could only respond by saying: "General, please be at ease." Dong Zhuo saw Li Yu lead his troops to kill him and immediately ordered Lü Bu to return and protect himself, withdrawing his troops back to Chang'an. Lü Bu had no choice but to return to Dong Zhuo's side. At this time, Lü Bu was also wiping away sweat and panting heavily. Lü Bu and Zhao Yun were truly evenly matched opponents, each using all their skills, and after more than a hundred rounds of battle, they still could not determine the winner or loser. Meanwhile, Wu Yi had also killed his way out, and Dong Zhuo had no choice but to order his younger brother Dong Wen to engage in battle with Wu Yi. Dong Wen saw that the opponent was a minor general with little fame, and because he only had to quickly kill his way out of the encirclement to survive, he wielded his large knife, hoping to defeat Wu Yi in one move and withdraw his troops. Wu Yi, however, had been trained by Zhao Yun many times and was now calm and composed in battle, making it impossible for Dong Wen to gain an advantage. Dong Wen was fighting with all his might, using his powerful knife to try and occupy the advantageous position; Wu Yi, on the other hand, was using the variable knife techniques he had learned from Zhao Yun, trying to outmaneuver him. The two of them fought for another twenty rounds without determining a winner or loser. At this time, Huo Jie saw that the opportunity was ripe and led his troops to assist in the battle! Liu Bei's army array had nearly 200,000 soldiers, with high morale, and they surrounded Dong Zhuo's army from all sides!

  Li Yu watched from a distance as Wu Yi and Dong Wen fought for a long time without falling, so he ordered the left wing Guan Gong to go and assist in the battle. Guan Gong, also known as Guan Er Ye, flew his horse and danced with his knife, joining the battle group. At this time, two great generals wielded their large knives like snowflakes flying up and down. Dong Wen saw that he was not gaining the upper hand against Wu Yi, so he became furious and shouted loudly. How could he not be angry? If he delayed any longer, his life would be left here! Dong Wen now had the idea of throwing away his knife and escaping, but Wu Yi would not give him such a good opportunity. At this time, Guan Gong also broke through the siege to come and support him! Guan Gong was afraid that Wu Yi was a young general and might lose, so he took his Qinglong Yanyue knife and rushed to the front of the array like a shooting star.

  At this time, Wu Yi and Dong Wen were like two men in a horse-drawn carriage, fighting fiercely in the central area. Guan Yu shouted to Wu Yi while killing his way towards them: "Wu Yi, use your big knife to slash at his head! If he draws his sword to block, use the technique I taught you to slash at his horse's legs, and end this quickly!" Guan Yu swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, charging forward non-stop. When Wu Yi heard Guan Yu's shout, he immediately used the technique on Dong Wen, who was forced to draw his sword to block. Wu Yi then changed his move and slashed at Dong Wen's horse's legs with all his might.

  Dong Wen couldn't withstand this and had to worry about both himself and his horse. He didn't think about who had taught Wu Yi this technique - Guan Yu, the master of the Spring and Autumn knife method! How could he, a second-rate general, resist? Originally, Wu Yi's big knife was not something to be trifled with, and now that it had been enhanced by Guan Yu's teachings, how could Dong Wen withstand it?

  At this time, Dong Wen was also afraid of Guan Yu killing his way over and had to divide his attention to defend against him. He knew that if he faced Guan Yu head-on, he would be finished in one move, just like Hua Xiong! As the saying goes, on the battlefield, the most feared thing is a divided mind. Moreover, Wu Yi was not an unknown general.

  Dong Wen was busy and didn't notice, allowing Wu Yi to swing his big knife and slash at Dong Wen's horse's front leg. The horse directly fell to the ground, and Dong Wen, who was on the horse, was also thrown off! The warhorse fell down, Dong Wen fell down, and his sword also fell to the ground. Wu Yi wouldn't give Dong Wen another chance to get up and fight, taking a step forward and swinging his big knife.

  Dong Wen saw this and didn't know where he got the strength from, but he used the "Rolling Earth" technique and stood up without picking up his sword. He took one leap and fled, while the two armies were still fiercely fighting on the battlefield. At this time, Guan Yu turned back to Wu Yi, and Zhao Yun also returned! Li Ru saw this and said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, it's not good! General Dong Wen has been defeated and is fleeing in disarray. The city will definitely be lost, and now we can only retreat north to Chang'an. The situation is already set!"

  Lü Bu also advised: "Father, don't worry, victory and defeat are common in war. Let me lead the army out to resist, and you quickly withdraw!" Before Dong Zhuo could respond, Lü Bu urged his Red Hare horse forward, holding the Heaven-Defying Halberd, and blocked Liu Bei's army's pursuit route.

  At this time, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had no choice but to lead their army in retreat! As for Liu Bei's side, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were still chasing after Dong Zhuo's army. When they saw Lü Bu come out and block their way, they ordered the whole army to beat the drums and assist in the battle. At this time, the morale of Liu Bei's army was high.

  Liu Bei, the Great General, pointed his horse forward, ready to fight Lü Bu again. At this time, Lü Bu and Liu Bei didn't need to say anything to each other; they had already understood each other through their many encounters! Lü Bu and Liu Bei urged their warhorses forward, swinging their halberds, and clashed in one place.

  Lü Bu's Red Hare horse was fast, and his Heaven-Defying Halberd was mysterious and unpredictable, its cold wind flashing and startling people's hearts. Li Yu's Heaven-Defying Halberd changed directions frequently, like a strange python emerging from a cave to capture people's minds. One of them seemed like a Buddhist monk descending into the mortal world, while the other was like Nezha arriving in the mundane world. The drums of the two armies sounded like bursting beans, and the soldiers shouted loudly with long spirits. The two men fought for over 50 rounds, still unable to determine victory or defeat. After all, Lü Bu had already fought over a hundred rounds with Zhao Yun without a winner, and tonight he hadn't been idle either, so he was truly exhausted! The speed of the Heaven-Defying Halberd was slightly slower than usual, but Li Yu discovered this and took advantage of the opportunity to use a halberd technique, taking advantage of the moment when the two horses were about to collide. He switched the Heaven-Defying Halberd to his left hand and drew out a familiar copper hammer from beside his Yellow Dragon Horse, flipping it over to strike Lü Bu's head. Because Lü Bu was truly exhausted, he didn't expect Li Yu to use this move, but Lü Bu was still Lü Bu. He heard the wind sound behind him and knew that Li Yu would use the familiar copper hammer, which had injured him at Tiger Trap Pass before. He hastily shrunk his neck and hid his head, but couldn't avoid Li Yu's blow. The blow didn't land on Lü Bu's vital spot, instead hitting his back. Lü Bu knew he was in trouble, but dodging could only avoid the vital spots. He quickly urged on the Red Hare horse, relying on its speed as a precious steed to dodge past. Just then, he heard a "crashing" sound, and the iron chain armor on Lü Bu's back was shattered by Li Yu's blow. Lü Bu was immediately knocked onto the Red Hare horse. At this moment, Lü Bu felt his heart burning, and a mouthful of blood spurted out far away. He couldn't fight anymore, so he relied on the Red Hare horse's speed to flee in defeat.

  It is often said that a general's bravery is the backbone of his army. The reason why the allied forces of the various lords failed to eliminate Dong Zhuo was because Lü Bu was too powerful! This time, when Dong Zhuo's soldiers saw their mighty general, Wen Hou Lü Bu, and their own lord fleeing in defeat, who would dare to come forward? Everyone lost their courage and fled at the sight. Li Yu took advantage of this opportunity to attack the defeated enemy! He ordered Liu Bei's army to immediately abandon their infantry and follow his cavalry in pursuit of Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu. Guo Jia also saw Li Yu defeating Lü Bu and hastily urged on the war drums, waved the command flag, and ordered all the soldiers to release their war horses, shake their silk reins, wave their flags, shout, and dance with their knives and guns, taking advantage of the momentum to launch a surprise attack. Dong Zhuo's soldiers saw that they could not escape death and fought back desperately in a chaotic battle, killing many of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, leaving bodies scattered all over the field, blood flowing like rivers, helmets and armor abandoned, and fleeing in disarray. Liu Bei's army pursued and killed until dawn, when Guo Jia finally ordered them to stop. They then occupied Xia Pi City!

  At this time, Li Yu, Zhao Yun and Guan Gong were still chasing and killing with their cavalry, until the second day when Li Yu led Zhao Yun and Guan Gong back to the army under Bian City!

  Guo Jia learned of Li Yu's great victory and ordered the entire army to go out of the city to welcome him!

  Li Yu saw Guo Jia lead the army to welcome him, and after learning about Zhao Yun's bravery, he said to all the soldiers: "Zhao Yun, also known as Zhao Zilong, is indeed a man of great courage and prestige. This victory is largely due to his efforts! We should report this to Emperor Han Xian and request additional rewards for him! In this battle, General Zhao led over 10,000 cavalrymen, but now only less than five people are left. Those who died in the pursuit will be remembered as martyrs, and those who survived will reorganize this cavalry unit, which will be named after General Zilong. This unit will be called Fei Long Cavalry!" The whole army cheered, and Zhao Yun was moved to tears. Who says that men don't shed tears easily? It's just that they haven't reached the point of heartbreak yet! In this battle, over 10,000 soldiers who followed Zhao Yun were almost completely wiped out! These five people are the seeds of this unit! As long as these five people are around, this unit will be rebuilt! Moreover, Li Yu set a precedent for naming military units. Later on, many famous units emerged, such as the Li Family Army, Qing Long Army, Black Panther Army, Han Sheng Army, Gong Ming Army, and many more! This had a very important impact on boosting the morale of the soldiers!

  At this time, the Han Xing King Liu Bei, Chen Gong and Guo Jia, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, Wu Anguo, Gao Shun and other generals who were preparing to attack Hanzhong also heard about Li Yu's great victory over Dong Zhuo's army and Zilong's bravery in defending Bian City. They were all extremely excited! Liu Bei even personally wrote a letter to confer the title of "Tiger General" on Zhao Yun! From this battle, Zhao Yun's name spread throughout the land, and from then on, some people would say Lv Bu! Some people would say Li Yu! Some people would say Guan Gong or Zhang Fei, but they would also mention Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!

  I have let go of everything, if you have a heart, please return early!
