Chapter 122 Peerless Lu Bu Wang Kuang chose to fight head-on without hesitation and ordered his general Fang Yue to step forward for a duel, without having any idea what kind of existence he was facing. He wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a red brocade robe with flowers from Xichuan, a chain mail with a beast mask and a lion-shaped belt around his waist; he carried a bow and arrow, held a painted halberd in his hand, and rode a neighing red rabbit horse. Such an eye-catching outfit can be spotted at a glance even among thousands of soldiers. Ordinary generals would not dare to dress like this unless they are capable enough. Fang Yue was considered to be somewhat brave, of a second- or third-rate level, and could barely be ranked among the generals of the various lords. But unfortunately, he was facing Lu Bu. Looking at Fang Yue rushing towards him, Lu Bu smiled with interest. It has been a long time since he met an opponent worthy of a fight, and now he is itching to show off his skills. When he learned that Hua Xiong was defeated, he was shocked, but more excited. Sure enough, there are always heroes in this big world.
Although Hua Xiong's position in the Xiliang army was lower than that of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, he was second only to him in terms of martial arts. When he was in good condition, he could even last more than 20 moves in his hands. But he never thought that he would be killed by the princes of Guandong. This shows that there must be a worthy opponent in the coalition. This is very attractive to Lu Bu who is determined to climb to the top of martial arts. When Lu Bu was excited, he found something wrong as soon as he fought with Fang Yue. Feeling the weak power, Lu Bu became angry after trying two more moves. Kanto rat! How dare you send this kind of trash to fight against me! This is simply unreasonable! The angry Lu Bu stabbed Fang Yue to death with his halberd. Lü Bu, who had not yet finished warming up, gently shook off the blood on his halberd and looked at Wang Kuangjun in displeasure: "How dare you look down on me!" Then, without saying a word, he charged directly towards Wang Kuang's army. The three thousand Bingzhou cavalrymen behind him looked at the invincible general with great enthusiasm, followed him without hesitation, and launched a charge, completely ignoring the fact that the enemy had far more troops than them. With the "Flying General" talent activated, the three thousand cavalrymen become one, with their speed, reaction speed, attack power, etc. all improved in all aspects. The already terrifying Bingzhou cavalry seemed to transform into hungry wolves in an instant, following the footsteps of the Wolf King and charging forward madly. The commander had just been killed, and seeing the terrifying momentum of Lu Bu's army, the soldiers of Wang Kuang's army felt weak in their legs and feet. "Kill! The enemy is outnumbered and we have reinforcements! We must win this battle, kill!" Wang Kuang kept roaring. The soldiers around him heard this and took heart. The rumbling sound of war drums rang out. They suppressed their inner fear and launched an attack on Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu looked at the group of infantrymen in front of him with a loose formation, his tiger eyes full of disdain. Sheep are just sheep no matter how many there are! How can they compete with wolves? Lu Bu, who grew up in Bingzhou, taught Wang Kuang a vivid lesson and made Wang Kuang understand a profound truth. In war, you can't win just by having more soldiers! The 3,000 Bingzhou cavalrymen, who had experienced many battles, had turned fighting into their instinct. Despite charging at high speed, they still maintained their arrow formation, and the gaps between them were just controlled at the optimal distance. The tight yet uncrowded formation brought out the maximum power of the cavalry's group charge at this moment, and they penetrated into Wang Kuang's army almost unhindered, directly killing Wang Kuang's army head-on, like killing chickens and dogs.
Wang Kuang's army was defeated and fled in all directions. Lu Bu led his troops to charge back and forth as if he was in an empty land. Thanks to the timely arrival of Bao Xin and Yuan Yi in the rear, the morale of the army was stabilized. When Wang Kuang saw the reinforcements coming, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming! Kill!" Bao Xin and Yuan Yi also led their troops to attack Lu Bu. Lu Bu looked at the two armies approaching with great interest, and finally he regained some interest. He continued to charge without hesitation, killing the three groups of princes and their horses. Feeling that he had no rivals, Lu Bu looked at the weak forces around him with a little suspicion. Are the princes of Guandong so weak? How did Hua Xiong die? Born in Bingzhou, Lü Bu had always been fighting against the Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu, and each time he was outnumbered. Later, he followed Ding Yuan to Luoyang and faced the Xiliang Army, which was known for its bravery. He had never encountered such a weak opponent. Only after charging and killing several times, feeling that his cavalry was a little tired, did Lu Bu lead his troops to retreat in order to avoid too much casualties. The three princes did not dare to attack at all, and retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned. According to statistics after the war, the three warlords had a combined army of more than 50,000, but Lu Bu slaughtered nearly 10,000 of them. Inhuman! The three frightened princes retreated another thirty miles to set up camp and sent messages to the other princes. After Tian Ze and other five princes arrived nearby and learned about the situation, they were all shocked. Tian Ze said without hesitation: "Everyone, Lü Bu is brave and has challenged Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass. Dong Zhuo also has troops stationed at Hulao Pass. If we win this battle, we can achieve our goal of defeating Dong Zhuo." "But the enemy is strong, so we must not act rashly, lest we lose morale. It would be better to wait for the arrival of Alliance Leader Yuan, and then join forces to defeat the enemy in one battle." Everyone nodded. They had previously known about this top general under Dong Zhuo, but had no idea how powerful Lu Bu was. With the example of Hua Xiong in the past, they knew that Marquis Lu Wen must be stronger than Hua Xiong, and his ability to lead troops in battle was so strong that they naturally felt a little afraid of him. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei seemed a little unwilling, but seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, they said no more. When Yuan Shao led the rest of the princes to arrive at Hulao Pass, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn. Hulao Pass stands majestically, with flags flying in front of the pass and the sound of war drums. Yuan Shao and other eighteen princes stood in front of the camp, with nearly 300,000 troops and dozens of generals behind them. For a moment, he felt that the world was his and that destroying Dong Zhuo would only take a blink of an eye. However, Lu Bu, who had been itching to show off his skills, rode his horse to the allied camp. He looked at the spectacular scene before him without fear, and his eyes were filled with even more excitement. With so many princes, there must be a few who are capable of fighting! I don’t know who killed Hua Xiong. Having learned from his previous lesson, Lu Bu stepped forward and showed off his skills.
At a distance of nearly two hundred steps, he pulled the precious carved bow in his hand repeatedly. The sound of the bowstring was like thunder, and all eighteen flags of the princes were shot down to the ground without missing a single one. Such a horrifying scene shocked the princes of Kanto. Even Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan and others were stunned. Could this person be the reincarnation of General Fei? "Great! My son Fengxian is invincible in the world!" At Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo watched this scene from afar, slapped the city wall excitedly and cheered. Li Ru, who was standing by, also had a hint of relief in his eyes. Fortunately, Fengxian is here! Xu Rong, who was originally under Dong Zhuo's command, had long been poached by Tian Ze, leaving Dong Zhuo with no other capable general except Lu Bu. Li Jue and Guo Si, those two fools, were good at leading the cavalry in a head-on fight, but it was impossible for them to guard Hulao Pass or defeat the coalition forces of the princes. Now Li Ru can only place his only hope on Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bu can withstand the pressure from the princes in Guandong. As long as Lu Bu is not defeated, there is a possibility of breaking the deadlock set up by Yuan Wei. "Lords of Guandong, is there anyone who dares to fight with me?" Putting the precious carved bow back to the side of the saddle, Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji and shouted. The voice resounded through heaven and earth, full of provocation and arrogance. Lu Bu's eyes burned with the desire to fight, and the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand flashed coldly in the sunlight. Lords of Guandong, please don’t let me down! (End of this chapter)
