The Fang Tian painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand passed by seemingly slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong shouted in his mouth, his eyes widened like a diamond's angry eyes, mustered up all his strength, and faced him with his sword.
"clang!!"
The blade of the knife collided with the blade of the halberd.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Vast and ferocious power erupted from the point of impact.
Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, and his stern face finally showed a look of shock. There was a slight numbness in his palms. He tightened his grip on Fang Tian's painted halberd and shook it to remove the force of the shock. When he looked at Huang Zhong, his eyes were full of shock.
Lu Bu's blow contained a lot of power and was so powerful that it was unforgettable. But Huang Zhong resisted the blow.
Even if Huang Zhong can't compare to him, he's not far behind. This man is very fierce.
"Lu Bu, take your life."
Lu Bu had just stabilized his body, but before he could react, the cold wind roared behind him and Dian Wei's spear had already been knocked down.
Lu Bu quickly turned sideways, and Fang Tian swiped his halberd, swinging Dian Wei's spear away, but the look on his face became more solemn than ever before.
Dian Wei was very strong, slightly weaker than him, but the strength of the two sides was not much different.
Huang Zhong is also weaker than him.
However, it's not much different.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei joined forces to attack, but Lu Bu could not take advantage of them. At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly thought of the scene in the past outside Hulao Pass, when Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu joined forces to attack him.
The key is that Huang Zhong and Dian Wei's explosive strength is stronger than Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Lu Bu's eyes were solemn and he quickly resisted the fierce attacks of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong. Although Lu Bu is very strong and has great power in every move, he has been in danger several times when faced with the joint attacks of Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.
Lu Bu sat astride the red rabbit horse, his face turned red and his eyes were a little irritable.
Where did Huang Zhong come from?
Where did Dian Wei come from?
Two little-known and unknown soldiers suppressed him and kept him retreating, unable to advance forward.
He even got into danger many times.
While Lu Bu resisted, he glanced around from the corner of his eye. As Cao Cao's reinforcements entered the battlefield, his cavalry encountered resistance. Among Cao Cao's reinforcements, the opposing generals were swift, powerful, and extremely brave. The cavalry was blocked, their offensive was completely lost, and they were constantly suppressed.
The strength of Cao Cao's side continued to advance.
Ding!
Lu Bu's heart sank.
Things are not going well!
As soon as Lu Bu was distracted, he was suppressed by Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. He was exhausted and even in danger.
Lu Bu was an open-minded man. He could not win. Moreover, Cao Cao's troops suppressed his cavalry, so Lu Bu had no intention of fighting. He suddenly burst out with all his strength, first forced Dian Wei back, then suppressed Huang Zhong, and quickly retreated on a red rabbit horse.
"Withdraw troops, retreat at full speed."
Lu Bu shouted loudly.
The order was issued, and the Bingzhou cavalry quickly changed direction and stopped fighting.
Although these cavalry were no longer on the offensive, their retreating postures and speeds were all smooth and silky, as if they had experienced the same retreat countless times. The elite troops led by Gao Shun in the rear also turned around and retreated in large numbers.
Lu Bu's army retreated, and Jiang Qin, as the commander of the first camp, ordered a fierce attack and pursuit.
The black-armored soldiers gave chase.
Qingzhou soldiers also followed.
The armies of Cao Cao and Lu Xuan continued to pursue and expand their victory.
When Cao Cao saw the victory in the battle, a bright smile finally appeared on his dark face. He looked at Lu Xuan aside, cupped his hands and said, "Xian son-in-law, it's all thanks to you this time. When your elite attack, the aggression is like fire, which is admirable. This time, I was careless. If I hadn't been self-righteous, I wouldn't have As for the fight being so difficult and dangerous.”
Cao Cao was grateful to Lu Xuan.
In this battle, it all depends on Lu Xuan to turn the tide.
If Lu Xuan had not participated in this battle, even if Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he would have lost a lot of elite troops. After losing the first battle, the next battle with Lu Bu will be more complicated and difficult.
Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "I reminded my father-in-law to be careful of Lu Bu. It's purely out of fear of Lu Bu. It's like a blind cat meets a dead mouse. It's not surprising."
Cao Cao said: "A good son-in-law is too humble."
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law, please move forward, collect prisoners along the way, and advance towards Puyang."
Cao Cao nodded and led his guards forward.
They walked forward all the way, and at midnight, the army stopped and set up camp.
In the evening, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Jiang Qin, Huang Zhong and others all returned. After Xiahou Dun separated from Huang Zhong and Jiang Qin, they came to Cao Cao's camp.
Xiahou Dun clasped his fists in salute and reported: "Lord, the number of our soldiers killed in this battle exceeded 1,800. We fought back with Lu Shijun's soldiers and killed more than 2,400 of Lu Bu's army. people."
"Lü Bu's more than ten thousand elites participated in the battle. Although more than two thousand were lost, most of the soldiers were withdrawn. Lu Bu's elites are indeed good at fighting, and they escape extremely fast, giving us no chance at all."
Xiahou Dun sighed: "Otherwise, we could kill more people in this pursuit."
Cao Cao said: "Winning this battle is already very good."
Xiahou Dun continued: "My lord, Lu Xuan's army is very powerful. When we attacked today, the general paid special attention to it. According to my judgment, the casualties of Lu Xuan's army will probably not exceed two or three hundred people at most."
"impossible."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, very surprised, and said: "Lu Xuan's army rushed directly into the battle, how could the casualties be so small?"
Xiahou Dun replied: "Bizhi led the charge and observed their attack."
Cao Cao asked: "What's going on?"
A look of horror appeared on Xiahou Dun's rough face, and he said: "Lu Xuan's elites are divided into two groups. One group is the first group wearing two layers of armor. When these soldiers attack, they are in groups of three and three. The three formations attack, covering each other and attacking each other, rather than fighting independently."
"The three-person team also covers each other and works very well together."
"These people fight independently and cooperate with each other. They are very ferocious."
"The ordinary soldiers under Lu Xuan's command suffered little loss because they followed us and Lu Xuan's first camp. I'm afraid the main losses in this fight were all Lu Xuan's ordinary soldiers."
"In addition, I finally found another problem."
"Lu Xuan sent three generals to participate in the battle, one is Huang Zhong, one is Zhou Tai, and the other is Jiang Qin."
"Huang Zhong is very skilled in martial arts, even more so than Dian Wei. The reason why he can easily suppress Lu Bu is that Huang Zhong and Dian Wei joined forces to make Lu Bu escape. Zhou Tai is very fierce, dares to fight and kill, and moves forward without hesitation. Jiang Qin is very desperate. , but he is mainly responsible for commanding the attack of the first camp."
Xiahou Dun said: "Lu Xuan's elites are very powerful. The general even thinks that our Qingzhou soldiers may not be able to win if they encounter the opponent."
Cao Cao's eyes were even more profound.
He was shocked by Xiahou Dun's evaluation.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun would rate Lu Xuan's army so highly.
Cao Cao thought of Lu Xuan's army soldiers, all of whom were studying. Obviously, Lu Xuan's soldiers are very different. The power unleashed by such an army is naturally different.
Cao Cao was very afraid.
Lu Xuan, this cheap son-in-law, is young, talented, shady, shameless, and so good at fighting and strategic. It is really not simple.
Cao Cao's eyes regained their composure in a blink of an eye. If Lu Xuan was too weak, he might look down on him again.
If Lu Xuan is strong, will Cao Cao be weak?
This time he lost to Lu Bu because he was careless, otherwise Lu Xuan would not have the chance to shine.
Cao Cao quickly comforted himself and adjusted his mentality.
Cao Cao said: "Lu Xuan is very strong, so learn more. Lu Xuan comes to help me this time and will stay in Qingzhou for a while. During this period, you should keep in touch with other generals. I will allow you to drink and drink with me." Lu Xuan's generals drink to connect with each other and understand the situation. Learn more about Lu Xuan's military management methods. You should also respect Lu Xuan more, and it is best to treat him with the courtesy of a teacher. "
"I will obey your orders!"
Xiahou Dun answered with clasped fists.
Cao Cao stood up and said, "Let's go. First, go inspect the army and appease the soldiers. Then, take all the civil and military officers with you to apologize to Lu Xuan. Yesterday he raised questions, and everyone objected. The dust has settled, and Lu Xuan has been proven." Based on my judgment, I should apologize and learn about Lu Xuan’s methods of running the army."
Xiahou Dun nodded and went with Cao Cao to appease the soldiers.
