As both a cavalryman and a general with the surname "Lu", Yuan Shu could not think of anyone other than Wolf Cavalry.
But shouldn't Cao's army's ambush be at the west gate? Why did it suddenly appear at the north gate, and near Zheqiu City?
This is unscientific!
Yuan Shu's throat rolled, and the shock in his heart suddenly surged to the extreme: "Zixiang, what is going on? Why did Lu Bu's wolf cavalry appear here?"
Yan Xiang, who was not far away, had already widened his eyes, and the muscles at the corners of his lips were twitching. It seemed that he did not even think that he did not encounter Cao Jun's ambush in the direction of the north gate, but bumped into Lu Bu's wolf cavalry!
What's even more terrible is that they bumped into Lu Bu just when they were about to arrive at Zheqiu City, not on the road from Changping to Zheqiu City.
Could this be a coincidence?
Although Yan Xiang kept hinting to himself, no matter how much he hinted, his clever IQ still told him clearly that this was definitely not a coincidence, it must have been premeditated.
In other words.
I was tricked by Cao Cao!
The opponent deliberately set up a fascination formation to let themselves take the bait, but instead set up an ambush in the direction of the north gate. Just when they thought they were about to escape danger, they struck a fatal blow.
insidious!
So insidious!
"I......"
Yan Xiang was speechless, not knowing what to say.
He stared straight ahead, seeing the billowing torrent of smoke and dust approaching here at high speed.
Yan Xiang couldn't care so much and hurriedly admonished: "Lord, let's leave quickly. As long as we enter Zheqiu City, even Lu Bu can't do anything to you and me."
"General Ji Ling!" Yan Xiang shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yes." Ji Ling responded loudly.
"You quickly lead the troops and delay Lu Bu's wolf cavalry as much as possible, allowing the lord to enter the city and buy time."
"Here."
Immediately.
Yan Xiang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Miao, pleading: "Chief Zhang, as you just said, our two families will benefit from cooperation and suffer from fighting. Now that Lu Bu's wolf cavalry is right in front of us, we should send General Dian to lead the troops."
It’s just delaying time.”
Well......
Zhang Miao suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly excrement, and his face suddenly dropped.
The purpose of what he said was to stop Yuan Shu from thinking wrongly, but he never imagined that he would actually dig such a big hole for himself.
If Dian Wei is sent out to fight Lu Bu, it doesn't matter whether he can come back or not. Who will protect his own safety?
"Brother Meng Zhuo, what are you..."
Seeing Zhang Miao's hesitation, Yuan Shu felt displeased. Just when he was about to speak angrily, he was directly interrupted by Yan Xiang: "Chief Zhang, although General Ji Ling is brave, he is no match for Lu Bu. If we are defeated, Wolf Cavalry will definitely
If you pursue the victory, will you be alive by then?"
Yan Xiang is very aware of Yuan Shu's temper. If he is not stopped, he will curse loudly, which will ruin the matter and give Lu Bu's Wolf Cavalry an advantage.
Now, Zheqiu City is right in front of us. We only need a little resistance to enter the city. Yan Xiang will never allow an accident to happen at this most important moment, so he can only steal it.
How could Zhang Miao not know this truth? He simply stopped hesitating and said loudly: "Where is Dian Wei?"
Dian Wei took a step forward: "The end will be here."
"I order you to lead troops to assist General Ji Ling. You must stop the wolf cavalry and buy time for us to enter Zheqiu City."
"Here."
Dian Wei did not hesitate, reined in his horse, turned around, and waved: "Brothers, follow me to fight against the wolf cavalry."
All the soldiers admire Dian Wei for his bravery. As long as he is around, their morale will be high:
"kill-!"
This roar that shook the heavens and the earth was enough to prove how high his morale was.
However, the speed of Lu Bu's wolf cavalry was too fast. Ji Ling had just led his troops to engage in the battle. Before they could formally open the battle, they were forcibly suppressed by a wave of arrows, and the two elite cavalry on the left and right took advantage of the situation to outflank them.
Dian Wei saw it very clearly. Although the Wolf Cavalry was hit by a wave of arrows, the opponent's arrows were not overwhelming and diffuse, but were mainly suppressed with precision to block its left and right paths, supplemented by shooting.
When he was on the run after killing someone, he used this method to hunt tigers in the mountains and forests to force the tigers to move and forcibly guide them into traps that had been set in advance.
Apparently!
The wolf cavalry regarded Ji Ling as its prey and relied on precise arrows to attack and kill the opponent, thereby restricting the opponent's movement, so that the cavalry on the left and right wings could complete the encirclement of the prey in a very short period of time.
Dian Wei had hunted tigers and even tortured wolves. At this moment, Lu Bu's wolf cavalry tactics were similar to those of wolf hunting. They were even more sophisticated than the division of labor in wolf fighting.
After all, this is the hunting of thousands of soldiers and horses, not as simple as the hunting of dozens of wolves. The wolf hunting tactics can be applied in actual combat.
Dian Wei finally understood why the cavalry under Lu Bu's tent were called wolf cavalry!
I have to admit that Lu Bu's use of wolf hunting tactics is simply amazing. He, the wolf king, does have some abilities. If the fight continues like this, Ji Ling will be beaten to death.
but......
What surprised Dian Wei even more.
Before he could rush to his aid, the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's tent actually came towards him and killed him. Judging from the opponent's position, they wanted to cut, penetrate, divide and annihilate him.
"snort!"
Dian Wei snorted coldly and said nonchalantly: "What a thief Lu Bu, he has such a big appetite! It's a pity that you happened to run into me, Dian Wei. Such tactics can't stop me at all!"
When the wolf riders showed signs of encirclement and had not yet arrived, Dian Wei did not hesitate and gave the order: "Disperse quickly! Don't let the wolf riders surround you."
At the same time, Dian Wei's tiger eyes swept across the wolf cavalry in front. Under a banner with the word "Chang", the man holding a war spear must be its commander. As long as he is destroyed, the cavalry will be useless.
Xiyuxu—!
At that moment, Dian Wei tightened the reins quickly and clamped the horse's belly. The horse sat down, raised its head, neighed, spread its hooves and galloped forward.
Dian Wei pressed his body against the horse's back, hiding his movements as much as possible.
He held the reins in one hand and the iron halberd in the other, staring at the wolf cavalry soldiers in front of him who were twisting their bows and arrows. He clamped the horse's belly again and rushed over without any scruples.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wave of arrows came suddenly. Dian Wei's eyes widened, and the iron halberd in his palm was like thunder. He waved it non-stop, actually blocking all the arrows that came towards him.
indeed!
Dian Wei was not good at riding and fighting.
But such an intense attack could not defeat him.
He rode his horse straight towards the banner with the word "Chang" in it. Holding the iron halberd in one hand, he faced the opponent's spear and struck it head-on. With a clear clang, he knocked the opponent's weapon over quickly.
Collapse back!
Immediately afterwards, a cold light suddenly flashed!
"die!"
The iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand flew through the air like a ghost, like a comet passing by. General Chang Lang had no time to react. He howled miserably, and his entire head was cut off by Dian Wei.
Backhand!
Another cold light suddenly appeared.
The Changzi banner was cut down directly by Dian Wei. Having taken the lead, the Wolf Cavalry officers were horrified.
Dian Wei took advantage of the situation and charged forward, holding the reins in one hand and the iron halberd in the other, swaying them from left to right, constantly killing the wolf cavalry soldiers around him, and penetrated from one end of the team to the other.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Immediately, a low roar sounded from the battlefield.
Under the leadership of Dian Wei, Zhang Miao's remaining defeated generals seemed to be resurrected on the spot with full health. Their morale suddenly soared to the extreme. They wielded their spears and charged straight at the Wolf Cavalry.
The sudden turn of events shocked Lu Bu, who was commanding the battle from a distance. His wolf general was killed by a traitor in one move, and even the banner was cut off.
"Damn it!"
Lu Bu cursed secretly, feeling bad.
He did not hesitate and gave a sonorous order: "Send the order! Stop hunting and start the wolf king tactics."
The messenger cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Here."
Immediately.
Red and green flags flashed.
When the wolf riders heard the news, they immediately changed their tactics.
The wolf pack tactic is good at hunting opponents, but if the opponent is stronger than imagined, you must immediately switch to the wolf king tactic. Although it cannot destroy the opponent's strength to the maximum extent, it can avoid greater losses to yourself.
The Wolf Cavalry is a newly formed team. Lu Bu will never allow it to suffer too many casualties. Instead, he must preserve his own strength as much as possible while ensuring that he defeats his opponent.
drive-!
The red toad horse galloped over like a ball of fire.
At the same time, the other seven wolf generals, like clockwork, immediately gave up the hunt, led their troops and horses, entered the role of the Wolf King's tactics, and launched a coordinated operation with Lu Bu as the core.
Han Dang, Sun Ce and other wolf generals were also amazed at the ferocity of their opponents. They immediately swept their eyes across the battlefield, quickly judged the situation, combined with their own tactical division of labor, and moved into the corresponding positions as quickly as possible:
"Evil Wolf Camp, follow me!"
"Brothers from Tianlang Camp, follow quickly!"
"Mountain Wolf Camp, come with me!"
"..."
At this moment, Lu Bu had his spear in hand and relied on the powerful maneuverability of his red toad horse to quickly cut into the battlefield and pounce directly on Dian Wei, who was rampaging and unscrupulous.
But see...
The opponent is tall and tall, like a moving bunker. Judging from his body shape alone, he can indeed be called a tiger general. However, the way he holds the reins in one hand, the iron halberd in the other, and his legs desperately holding the horse's belly, he is obviously an incompetent rider.
He's just a sluggish man with skills.
Such a person can actually kill his own subordinates?
Lu Bu was horrified, so he rushed forward on his horse and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way and watch me kill him!"
Hula la—
A road leading to Dianwei appears quickly.
Lu Bu slammed the red tug, and his speed increased by 30% again, like a red lightning, rushing towards him:
"Thief, please accept your fate!"
A thunderous roar sounded.
The war spear in Lu Bu's palm was instantly raised above his head, as if he was holding a giant dragon. With a thunderous and terrifying momentum, it was directed at Dian Wei below, with a gesture of breaking the mountain and cutting off the river with one move!
call-!
A sharp whistle exploded.
It seemed as if a strong wind was blowing in his face, and a murderous aura suddenly enveloped Dian Wei.
Dian Wei could clearly feel the terrifying power of Lu Bu's spear, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he picked up the blood-stained iron halberd in his right hand and struck the moon from the bottom of the sea with one move, creating a cold and cold light from bottom to top.
, facing the angry spear tip, and striking it head-on.
clang-!
Where the spears and halberds met, sparks burst out.
There was a deafening golden roar and a loud explosion.
Dian Wei originally thought that his strength was already very strong, but at the moment when the weapons of the two sides collided, he realized how terrifying the power on the arms of the muscular man in front of him was.
"Whoa-!"
Dian Wei gritted his teeth and roared, holding up one arm with almost all his strength.
However, the wolf generals coming from all directions are constantly encircling and killing them. Once the encirclement is completed, it will be impossible for him to escape even if he is good at fighting.
At that moment, Dian Wei did not dare to hesitate at all, he put all his strength into his arms, and with a sudden force, with a clear clang, he deflected Lu Bu's spear, and at the same time turned his horse around, trying to escape from the encirclement of the wolf generals.
"What a reckless man, his reaction is really quick."
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel.
Although the wolf generals have begun to encircle them and their actions are obvious, there are definitely only a handful of people who can make the right choice in the first place.
After all, what Lu Bu was best at back then was the Wolf King's tactics. He knew the enemy general's response to this kind of tactics very well, and Dian Wei's reaction was absolutely wise!
only......
The opponent's riding skills were so poor that he couldn't stand Lu Bu's eyes at all.
He mounted his horse to fight, and with the war spear in his hand he aimed at Dian Wei, who was riding away, and he swung angrily at Dian Wei again. This time, the force was even greater, and Dian Wei on the horse could not help but feel his arms sinking.
clang!
When Dian Wei put away Lu Bu's war spear, the anger hidden in his heart boiled up completely. Zeng De rushed to his throat, flew off his horse, opened his mouth and cursed:
"The thief Lu Bu has gone too far!"
The moment Dian Wei's feet landed on the ground, he felt extremely relaxed, as if he had been freed from his restraints and returned to his peak. His self-confidence even soared!
Lu Bu thought this was an excellent opportunity. The sharp spear tip was like a dragon out of the sea, spinning and piercing Dian Wei's face.
But the next second...
Dian Wei's body swayed, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot a second before the spear tip struck him. From another direction, he suddenly pounced on Lu Bu, whose move failed.
"So fast!"
Even Lu Bu, who had always been brave and good at fighting, couldn't help but be stunned.
He had never seen a person whose legs alone could be as fast as a war horse. Especially when the opponent's double halberds were deployed together, the power was fully exerted, and the murderous aura shrouded Lu Bu, making him feel as if he was facing life and death.
right!
That’s right!
It's not an illusion, it's a feeling.
Lu Bu quickly pulled back his war spear and blocked the iron halberd in Dian Wei's right hand. At the same time, the iron halberd in his left hand also fell in the air, but this halberd was not directed at Lu Bu, but at the horse where Lu Bu was sitting.
This guy is definitely a master!
After all, Lu Bu's target is smaller than that of a war horse, and its flexibility is much stronger than that of a war horse. If Dian Wei attacks Lu Bu, he will most likely be dodged, but if Dian Wei attacks a war horse, those who are not good at riding will suffer.
Fortunately!
Lu Bu's riding skills are outstanding.
While his body turned sharply, he controlled the horse with only two legs. The fierce tiger-like Chi Tu obeyed the command and miraculously ran forward a little, accurately and timely repelling Dian Wei's attack.
Dian Wei's expression changed dramatically.
He did not dare to attack again. He took strange steps and flew leisurely to the side and back, trying to avoid Lu Bu's blind spot and wait for an opportunity to launch the next attack.
However......
Lu Bu, who was proficient in cavalry combat, had already seen through Dian Wei's thoughts. While he was flying to the side and behind, the war spear in his palm quickly passed behind, making a clear clang, and collided with Dian Wei's iron halberd.
At the same time, the red toad horse raised its hind hoof to an outrageous height and launched a near-fatal attack on Dian Wei's chest, intending to kick Dian Wei away.
"ah!"
Dian Wei was startled. He kicked off the ground with two strong and strong legs. His whole body was so dexterous that he seemed to have shrunk to an inch. He flew several feet away in an instant, and the red tug horse's powerful hoof force was instantly defeated.
"Damn it!"
Dian Wei gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
Lu Bu is already difficult enough, but a large number of cavalry are surrounding him, constantly devouring his own soldiers. It seems that he will become a bare commander before long.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that there is no possibility of a fight. If he is entangled by Lu Bu, let alone killing the enemy, whether he can save his life is another matter.
Glancing in the direction of Zheqiu City with his peripheral vision, Dian Wei originally thought that Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu were about to enter the city, but he never thought that they were being chased by a group of elite cavalry and their lives were in danger.
Dian Wei didn't have any intention of fighting again, so he immediately started running away, like a gust of wind, he suddenly ran a few feet away, his speed was faster than that of a war horse, and he didn't give in much.
What shocked Lu Bu the most was that Dian Wei did not forcefully march through the gap that had not yet been encircled, but instead charged directly at his own cavalry camp, as if he wanted to forcefully open a hole and kill the general.
Although this scene looked a bit silly, Lu Bu, who was well versed in cavalry warfare, secretly admired it.
After all, he was sitting on a red tug horse. It was impossible for the opponent to get rid of the red tug horse with just two legs. He could only choose the weak point, force a breakout, and rely on the group of horses to stop Lu Bu.
The pursuit of oneself.
The most important thing is that Dian Wei charged in the opposite direction and took an unusual path, which immediately greatly reduced the effectiveness of Lu Bu's Wolf King tactics, and may even face the dilemma of complete failure.
"It's interesting."
Lu Bu was full of curiosity about the general in front of him.
The opponent's strength is astonishing, and his awareness of combat is extremely strong. If he doesn't take action, he will kill him if he does. If he hadn't encountered him, or Han Dang, a powerful general like Sun Ce would not be able to stop him.
"Get out of the way!"
Lu Bu did not hesitate and gave a sonorous order: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
Rather than letting Dian Wei massacre everyone, it would be better to get out of the way and let him escape.
As long as he got out of the encirclement, his red tug horse would come in handy again, chasing Dian Wei without any pressure.
Hooray!
The wolf cavalry team moved out of the way.
While Lü Bu was riding his horse in pursuit, he shouted loudly: "Commanders, listen to the order, leave this thief to me, and you will quickly hunt down the thief army and continue to implement the wolf pack tactics."
When the messenger heard the words, they began to wave their flags and convey the order from a long distance away.
Dian Wei, who was running wildly, had no other choice at this moment. If he forcibly blended in with the wolf cavalry, he would sooner or later be consumed by the enemy here.
Dian Wei knows this very well.
He did not dare to hesitate at all, and simply jumped out of the wolf horse and ran towards the river not far away. As long as he could enter the muddy area or even enter the river, Lu Bu's horse would completely lose its effectiveness.
By then!
If the thief Lu Bu dares to chase him.
Humph! It’s still unclear who will win!
call-!
Dian Wei ran forward a few feet, looked back with a small halberd, and flew straight at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's eyes were quick and his hands were faster. The war spear in his palm suddenly swept across, knocking Dian Wei Xiaoji away with ease.
but......
His speed dropped by three points as a result.
Dian Wei took this opportunity and continued to run forward several feet.
"What a rude fellow."
Lu Bu naturally understood Dian Wei's purpose of delaying.
He galloped after him wildly.
But just as he approached his opponent, a small halberd was immediately pierced towards his face. When he approached his opponent again, another halberd was pierced towards his face.
After repeating this process seven or eight times, Dian Wei finally reached a river. The mud splashing under his feet made him feel at ease, because the conditions here were simply a nightmare for war horses.
Looking back, staring.
Lubule's horse stopped not far away and did not pursue it in depth.
Apparently!
He also understood that this terrain was unfriendly to cavalry.
He had suffered a big loss when he was in Luoyang, and there was no way he would be fooled again this time.
However, Lu Bu did not fight in, but it did not mean that Dian Wei could escape, because on the other side of the river, there was also a group of cavalry coming quickly to completely block the road.
"Damn it!"
Dian Wei cursed secretly and felt great hatred in his heart.
On the bank of the river, Lu Bu shouted at the top of his lungs: "Can the general be named by his name?"
Dian Wei held two iron halberds: "I am Chen Liu and Dian Wei!"
"Dianwei?"
Lu Bu naturally knew something about this person: "Could it be that he was Dian Weifu who almost killed Xia Houyuan with one move, and then fought with Liu, Guan, and Zhang to save Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, from death?"
"That's right!"
Dian Wei shouted loudly: "It is this general."
Lu Bu cupped his hands and said, "I'm here, Lu Bu."
"I know."
Even when he was about to die, Dian Wei was still proud: "You are the most brave Lu Bu in the world. I admit that you are very strong, but I, Dian Wei, am not afraid of you. If you don't have Chitu, you may not be my opponent!"
"It's possible!"
Lu Bu did not deny it.
After all, he had seen Dian Wei's foot combat ability with his own eyes: "General Dian, now that Zhang Miao must die, why do you have to continue to work for him? Now that His Majesty is returning to the palace in Nanyang, it is the time when a good general is needed. If the general
If you are able to surrender, it will be no problem to become a general and a marquis."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Dian Wei refused without hesitation and retorted directly: "If you can catch me, Dian Wei, it won't be too late to persuade me to surrender!"
Say it.
Dian Wei jumped up and jumped into the river with a pop. Before the cavalry on the other side came over, he swam forward quickly.
But as soon as he landed, Wuyangyang's cavalry was already approaching.
Dian Wei did not dare to hesitate at all and ran away, still along the river bank.
On the other side of the river, Lu Bu shouted at the top of his lungs: "General Huang, capture him alive."
Huang Zhong replied from the air: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Brothers!"
Huang Zhong waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Chase them and catch them alive."
The Leopard Cavalry soldiers shouted in unison: "Here!"
Immediately.
More than ten cavalrymen flew forward, quickly passed Dianwei, and blocked the front.
At the same time, a large net opened and aimed at Dian Wei to hood him.
"hateful!"
Dian Wei was about to wave his iron halberd to push it away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two divine arrows flew in the air, hitting two iron halberds, making two clear clanging sounds. At the same time, a large net was thrown towards Dian Wei, and the hemp rope loop was put on it.
