The red rabbit hissed like a tiger and a leopard. Lu Bu gathered his troops and horses, turned the horse's head to look this way, and sneered: "Eunuch, your two brothers are not enough to join forces. You need to add a warlock to dare to fight me?" "
Zhang Fei shook his numb arms, looked at Lu Bu and shouted: "Even without Mr. Yuan Chang's help, my two brothers can kill you today!"
"It's just you!?" Lu Bu grinned, and Fang Tian raised his halberd. The power of the army poured into his arms, and a halberd that reached the sky and the earth was erected, and he slashed down in the direction of the Chinese army.
Under the commander's banner, Liu Bei's expression changed. He was not afraid of the halberd, but even if he stopped the halberd, many soldiers who were not protected by the battle array would be killed by the halberd, and their morale would probably bottom out immediately.
In front of the formation of the two armies, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took action at the same time. Their huge swords and spears faced the halberd that penetrated the sky and the earth. However, this halberd was made by Lu Bu merging the power of ten thousand armies. Although Guan and Zhang were strong, Facing such power, he could barely block the huge halberd, but failed to completely block it.
"Working for heaven, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!" Zhong Yao took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the Qi of Cao's army quickly gathered, forming a green Qi above the heads of the three armies, and then the Qing Qi transformed into a Bagua shape, and instantly met Lu Bu's chop. The halberd below.
"Boom~"
The Bagua Qingqi violently churned the moment it touched the Ji Gang, and was finally offset.
Zhijiang exhaled a breath, looked at the green air gradually dissipating in the sky, looked at Liu Bei with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, now that I am the commander-in-chief, it is difficult to gather the power of thousands of troops. I can only use magic to mobilize tens of thousands of troops." With the strength of the army, if Lu Bu strikes again, we may not be able to stop him!"
While talking, Lu Bu over there saw the military formation barely raised up here, sneered, and cracked down his second halberd fiercely.
Zhong Yao stretched out his hands and said loudly: "The terrain is poor, a gentleman should be virtuous!"
The green air that should have dispersed condensed again, and the green air gradually took on an earthy color.
Liu Bei looked at the officers and soldiers of the three armies and shouted in a deep voice: "Commanders and soldiers, we encountered a strong enemy today. If we can't work together as one, we will be defeated by the strong enemy. The three armies form an array!"
It's not that Cao's army couldn't form a battle formation, it was just because the commander was not familiar to them, so they couldn't form a formation. Generally, after the two sides get along for some time, they can naturally form a military formation. Liu Bei originally wanted to run in on the road, so he didn't want to delay his departure. It was Runan time. Who would have thought that just after leaving Xuchang, Lu Bu would come to visit him.
At this time, there is no need to worry about running in. The three armies must be mobilized to withstand Lu Bu's terrifying attack.
In Zhong Yao's surprised eyes, as Liu Bei's voice spread, the battle formation began to gather!
This person...has the air of a king!
Zhong Yao looked at Liu Bei. He had only seen this kind of convincing ability in Cao Cao, not Liu Bei.
"Boom~"
Ji Gang cut down again, but this time with the support of the three armies, Zhong Yao's defense was quite stable.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Lu Bu, if you really have the ability, do you dare to come to the battle!?"
Lu Bu ignored Zhang Fei this time. After patrolling around for a while, he led his troops and left straight away. If he forced his way into the battle formation formed by 20,000 elite Cao troops, he would probably lose most of his 3,000 elite cavalry in the end. They are all soldiers who have followed him through life and death. Lu Bu doesn't want to waste time with the opponent in a meaningless way here. Even if he exchanges 20,000 soldiers from the opponent, Lu Bu doesn't think it's worth it.
There is not only one way to fight a war!
The backs of the cavalry gradually disappeared from sight as the sun set in the west. Even Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Lu Bu felt much stronger today than he did in Xuzhou. Could it be that the slaves with the three surnames were eaten by others? Wrong medicine?
Also, what's up with his equipment?
After fighting for a long time, Zhang Fei could clearly feel that the toughness of Lu Bu's armor was much stronger than when he was in Xuzhou. There was also Fang Tian's painted halberd. Zhang Fei had fought against Lu Bu the most. As for the weight of Fang Tian's painted halberd, The strength is obvious, but in today's battle, the power transmitted by Fang Tian's painted halberd was much higher than before.
Liu Bei saw that it was getting late, so he could only set up camp, rest for the night, and start again tomorrow. Now that the battle formation was completed, he could travel much faster and could reach Runan tomorrow.
Of course, the premise is that Lu Bu stops messing around... This is almost impossible!
"Lu Bu must be worried that if I wait until Runan, Chu Nan will be unable to resist, so he takes action to stop me!" Late at night, in Liu Bei's tent, in addition to the three brothers, there were Zhong Yao, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others. They are all here. When Mi Zhu said this, his expression was somewhat complicated.
After all, Mi Zhu did not expect that his brother Mi Fang chose Lu Bu. Although Liu Bei did not blame him harshly for this, he felt somewhat awkward.
"So, are we going to fight Lu Bu next?" Sun Qian had a toothache after hearing this. Although Lu Bu brought not many people, they were all cavalry. They came and went like the wind. They came and left when they wanted. Even if he could be defeated, it would be useless unless Lu Bu could be trapped.
The road from Xuchang to Runan is basically smooth. Where can we find suitable terrain to trap Lu Bu?
"If we can lure Lu Bu away, Sikong will be able to free up his hands!" Zhong Yao was a little more optimistic than everyone else. After all, Lu Bu could only focus on one side. If we could lure Lu Bu away, then Cao Cao would There is more room for development, such as increasing troops to the front line, sending various generals to the front line to deal with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, etc.
It may not be a good thing.
Liu Bei nodded silently after hearing this. Being nice to Cao Cao must mean being bad to him. With Lu Bu harassing him from the side, even if he gets to Runan, he will probably face the joint attack of Lu Bu and Chu Nan, the pair of father-in-laws. It may not be a good thing for Liu Bei.
Needless to say, Lu Bu, Chu Nan seems to have a general under his command now. If both sides join forces, they may not be able to withstand it!
"In that case, let's fight with Lu Bu first." Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the crowd. He couldn't let Lu Bu and Chu Nan join forces. He had to deal with Lu Bu first before arriving at Chu Nan, otherwise he would let this son-in-law join forces. If so, they may follow in the footsteps of Xiahou Dun.
Zhong Yao nodded in appreciation. He also meant the same thing. He could not let Lu Bu and Chu Nan join forces. He had to concentrate on breaking through all the way. He looked at Liu Bei and said, "I wonder what Xuande Gong has in mind?"
Hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Zhong Yao with a wry smile and said, "Sir, don't make fun of Yu Bei. This is not the first time my three brothers have fought against Lu Bu. They have never gotten any advantage. I hope you can teach me how to defeat the enemy!"
They wanted to capture soldiers and horses, but they were all cavalry. Liu Bei's army naturally also had cavalry. Unfortunately, they could not compare with Lu Bu in terms of quantity or quality, and they could only play a supporting role.
So... Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu all looked at Zhong Yao. Whether they can deal with Lu Bu depends on Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao's exposed hands on the battlefield today were really eye-opening. Although the blow that forced Lu Bu back was a sneak attack, it was impossible to guard against a frontal attack.
In addition, when the battle formation has not yet been completed, mobilizing all the forces to resist Lu Bu's two halberds is not something ordinary Confucians or sorcerers can do.
Facing the gazes of the six people, Zhong Yao suddenly had a very absurd feeling. He had become the savior of the world?
This is of course impossible.
"If you want to defeat Lu Bu, you must have the right time and the right location!" Zhong Yao didn't say anything about harmony. Now, harmony means that these people, together with the 20,000 troops outside, can unite as one. This condition has been met because of Liu Bei's relationship. The next step is to What matters is the right time and place.
"You can't find the right time, but you can find the right place. We need to find a place with a layout that traps a dragon. With the help of strange techniques, we can trap Lu Bu." Zhong Yao pointed at the map and said.
As for trapping and killing Lu Bu, Zhong Yao was not sure. His target was Lu Bu's cavalry from the beginning. As long as these cavalry are destroyed, Lu Bu will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. He will never be able to use the halberd that penetrates the sky and the earth like yesterday. He couldn't be killed either. Of course, if he could even get the time of heaven, he might be able to kill Lu Bu, but it would be too difficult for heaven, earth and people to unite. Zhong Yao didn't say anything.
"I don't know where to lay it out?" Mi Zhu couldn't help but ask.
"It's not known yet." Zhong Yao shook his head. He hadn't found the place yet. Regardless of the fact that the terrain from here to Runan is flat, there are many places suitable for setting up formations. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhong Yao explained: "I will go and search for him personally. Before that, please ask Duke Xuande to restrain Lu Bu!"
Liu Bei nodded silently after hearing this. This is not the best outcome, and certainly not the worst ending.
Early the next morning, Zhong Yao left the camp alone to find a suitable place to set up an array. Liu Bei set up camp as usual and prepared to march to Runan. However, before he had gone ten miles, Lu Bu suddenly came out and rained arrows on the army.
By the time Liu Bei formed a defensive formation, Lu Bu had already led his army away.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he yelled and stood on a hill and cursed Lu Bu for being shameless. However, Lu Bu pretended not to hear and just wandered around. When he found Liu Bei slack, he came up to attack him. Liu Bei was in defensive formation. Okay, at the end of the day, I was attacked by Lu Bu eight times, and I couldn't travel more than thirty miles.
On the third day, Zhang Fei took the initiative to challenge. This time, Lu Bu did not evade. He came directly to fight with Guan and Zhang in front of the formation. The sky was dark and the ground was dark. Lu Bu was one against two, and he was not at a disadvantage. He even felt a little suppressed. This made Guan and Zhang feel alarmed. This Lu Bu seemed to have the faint feeling of breaking through the current level of combat power.
If Lu Bu makes another breakthrough, they may not be able to compete together.
This sense of oppression made the two of them feel heavy. Even without Lu Bu to harass them, the two of them frantically studied their own martial arts, hoping to catch up with Lu Bu.
In this way, in the back-and-forth battle between the two sides, in the past four days, Liu Bei's troops and horses had traveled 120 miles. Seeing that Runan was not far away, Liu Bei was secretly worried. If they reached Runan, it would be Lu Bu and Chu Nan. Join forces, let alone rivals.
It wasn't until Zhong Yao came back that evening that Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief...
