"Brothers, kill them! Once we kill them, we will gain merit! Once we kill them, we will be the hero of Jiangdong! We will have endless glory and wealth! Once we kill them, we will be able to exchange them for war horses. Don't you want their war horses? " Zhang Kai's words were very tempting. Zhang Kai was right. After killing the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Lü Bu, they would become Sun Ce's confidants. At the very least, they would be given the title of General. If Zhang Kai was more capable, he would even be able to command an army to guard the border town. At that time, Zhang Kai would be the third most powerful person in the Jiangdong Army after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
After this battle, the Yuzhou Cavalry's war horses could no longer be used. As long as they killed the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they would be able to seize the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's war horses. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's war horses had been coveted by the Yuzhou Cavalry for a long time. Whether it was in terms of speed or endurance, they were much better than the war horses that they were riding.
The two groups of Yuzhou Cavalry began to attack the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry from the front and back. The hooves of the war horses stirred up a burst of dust on the plains.
"There is no other way!" Lü Bu looked at the two groups of cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could no longer bypass them. There was only one word left for them to do. When enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous would win. "Since we can't leave, then we won't leave!" Lü Bu's eyes showed a trace of pride. What were they? They were a pack of wolves from the desert. They were a pack of wolves that even the foreign tribes on horseback were afraid of. They were the kings of cavalry, they were the death gods of infantry. They had their pride. Although Lü Bu used cavalry tactics, it did not mean that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not have the strength to fight.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! The hunt begins! " Lü Bu waved his Sea God's Halberd, and the entire wolf pack howled. They were wolves, and they would bite and tear apart any enemy that stood in their way. Even if the enemy was several times their number, even if they were attacked from the front and back.
"Boom boom boom!" The Bing Province Wolf Cavalry was the first to collide with Zhang Kai's Yu Province Cavalry. There was no skill in a battle between cavalry and there was no dodging. This was because it was a large-scale charge. If you dodged, then the spear or arrow would hurt the comrades behind you. If you blocked it, then you would buy time for the comrades behind you to attack. This time might save your life.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Blood and sweat, swords and blades, flesh and blood like rain. The Yuzhou Iron Cavalry had already cut off all means of retreat. If they don't win this time, then the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry will be removed from Sun Ce's Army. A cavalry without a warhorse will not be called a cavalry! Only by killing these Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, stealing their warhorses, and taking their heads to Sun Cejun would they be able to survive.
On the other hand, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had no way to retreat. Although they were surrounded by two cavalry forces and the enemy was three times their number, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not afraid at all. This was because they had their Wolf King and Lü Bu. As long as they had Lü Bu, they would be invincible. Just like how the ancient Greek warriors prayed to the god of war Ares in every battle, Lü Bu was their god of war. With the god of war around, what did they have to be afraid of?
A cavalryman of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry pierced his long sword into a hungry wolf of the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry. The long sword had already entered the wolf's body. Even if he could pull it out, it would have hurt the wolf's vital parts. He would definitely die. This wolf cavalryman showed his bloodthirsty nature and clamped the long sword that had pierced into his body with his left arm. Under the shocked and furious eyes of the cavalryman of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry, the wolf cavalryman opened his sharp claws and directly split the head of the cavalryman of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry. The two cavalrymen both fell off their warhorses and were trampled into meat paste by the cavalrymen behind them. Their bodies dyed the land red and nourished the living beings here.
"Kill!" The sword in the hand of the wolf rider was already bent. No less than ten Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry had died under his hands. The sword in his hand was full of holes. His eyes were full of red light and full of fighting spirit. However, there were also countless wounds on his body that were bleeding hot blood. The two fatal wounds told this wolf rider that his life was not long. However, this wolf rider did not care. He served his Wolf King and died for his God of War! Lü Bu's existence was an invincible legend.
With his last bit of strength, this wolf rider once again killed a Yu Province cavalryman, but his body was directly pierced from the warhorse by a cavalryman's lance, and the flower of life withered just like that.
The word 'tragic' could no longer be used on the battlefield. In the battle between infantry, although there were countless casualties, there would still be a corpse left. If one was lucky, there would still be a whole corpse. However, in the battle between cavalry, as long as the warhorse fell, it meant that the flesh and blood would be stuck together and could no longer be distinguished. You would not even know which piece belonged to the enemy or which one belonged to your own comrade. Therefore, cavalry did not have the tradition of cleaning up the corpses.
As the symbol of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Lü Bu took the lead. Wherever he went, there would be rivers of blood. No one could stand up to him. All of them were knocked off their warhorses. Lü Bu was very skilled in horse fighting. He knew how to deal the most damage with the least amount of strength. Lü Bu was the flag of the entire Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. His golden armor was so dazzling among the wolves. The wolves of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry once again broke out with a strong will. Although their numbers were only one-third of the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry, they were still able to suppress the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Hold on, hold on!" Zhang Kai's complexion changed. He did not expect the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to have such explosive strength. Although they lost two to one in the battle with Lu Su, they were not suppressed like now. What kind of monsters were these Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?
Zhang Kai could not be blamed. In the battle with Lu Su, the hundreds of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that died were all young wolves. They were all new wolves. They had not experienced hundreds of battles before they fought with the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry. Naturally, they suffered heavy casualties. Occasionally, there would be one or two old wolves mixed in. However, it was different now. Now, there were less than a thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry left. None of them were experienced in battle. Each one of them could be a commander of hundreds or thousands of people. Old Man Wu of the Wan City Garrison was an old wolf from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Although he lost an arm, his ferocious nature did not change.
If this continues, the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry would not be a match for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Zhang Kai shouted at Taishi Ci, "General Taishi!" His eyes switched between Taishi Ci and Lü Bu. Taishi Ci knew that Taishi Ci wanted him to suppress Lü Bu. Lü Bu was too strong. No cavalry could stop this killing god. If Lü Bu continued to charge, the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry would be in chaos.
Taishi Ci changed the direction of his warhorse and charged towards Lü Bu with Zhang Kai. At this time, the thousand Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry also joined the battle. At this time, Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was really at a disadvantage. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could charge forward and tear apart the enemy's formation. However, it was difficult to protect the rear. Now that they were attacked from both inside and outside, their weakness was exposed. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry at the rear was drowned by the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Lü Bu frowned. He used his Poseidon Halberd to cut open the throat of a Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry soldier. He was about to kill the other Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers. He wanted to open up a path for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. A path to the outside. "All troops, charge out!" It was difficult for the wolf pack to deal with a pincer attack. Only by charging out and reorganizing their formation can they continue to hunt.
"You won't have the chance!" With a cold snort, a long-handled broadsword slashed towards Lü Bu. The cold light on the broadsword told Lü Bu that it was a sharp blade. There was also blood on the blade. It was the blood of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers.
"Courting death!" Lü Bu used his Poseidon Halberd to block the attack. He saw the person who came. Wasn't it the commander of the Yuzhou Wolf Cavalry, Zhang Kai? Lu Bu was worried that he would not be able to find Zhang Kai. As long as he can kill Zhang Kai, the Yu Province Heavy Cavalry will be in chaos. Once they are in chaos, they will not be far from destruction. Lu Bu forcefully held the Poseidon's halberd in his hand. He exerted a force of a thousand catties toward Zhang Kai. He wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible. Every second he delayed, there is a possibility that one of the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry will die.
"What!" Zhang Kai finally remembered Lu Bu's strength. His strength was not something he could withstand. He was not skilled in martial arts, but he was able to become the commander of the Yuzhou Cavalry because he had the ability to command cavalry. Just like Cao Chun, his martial arts were not as good as Xu Sheng and Li Dian, let alone the Xiahou brothers, Xu Chu and Dian Wei. But he still became the commander of the Ferocious Cavalry. The reason was not only because he was from the Cao family and was Old Cao's younger brother, but also because Cao Chun knew how to use cavalry. In the hands of other generals, the Ferocious Cavalry could only be a powerful cavalry. But in Cao Chun's hands, it could be a trump card to intimidate the feudal lords. This was because you did not know when the Ferocious Cavalry would arrive at your city gates and attack your supply lines. Even when you were fighting with the enemy, the Ferocious Cavalry would bypass the battlefield and execute the plan to behead you.
"Don't even think about it!" Taishi Ci could not watch as Zhang Kai was killed. His halberds pierced towards Lü Bu's neck. It was too late for him to save Zhang Kai, so he could only attack Lü Bu directly. If Lü Bu insisted on killing Zhang Kai, then Taishi Ci's halberds would pierce through Lü Bu's neck.
How could Lü Bu exchange his life with Zhang Kai? He made a feint and let Zhang Kai go. He used the Poseidon Halberd's handle to force Taishi Ci's halberds away. However, at this time, Lü Bu frowned. His face turned gloomy because he found himself entangled by Zhang Kai and Taishi Ci. Although these two's martial arts were not as good as Lü Bu's, they were able to entangle Lü Bu for a while. However, this was the most fatal moment. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had begun to suffer heavy casualties. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not die in the charge, but in the rear.
Cavalry was always charging at the front. Their rear was always the biggest weakness. Even Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the king of cavalry. Otherwise, Zhang Kai would not have been so excited to chase after Lü Bu.
"Get out of my way!" Lü Bu was angry. Most of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were old soldiers that he brought from Bingzhou. Although there were soldiers from Luoyang, Chang 'an, and Xu Province, they had served Lü Bu for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he did not have any feelings for them. He was the Wolf King, so he naturally had to be responsible for his wolf cubs.
"Impossible!" Taishi Ci felt even more pressure. His current feeling was not any worse than when he fought against Huang Zhong. At that time, Jiang Qin and Sun Ce were still there. Although Jiang Qin lost an arm, he was still a refinement realm martial artist. On the other hand, Zhang Kai was only a second-grade refinement realm martial artist. Therefore, Taishi Ci used half of his energy to protect himself and half of his energy to protect Zhang Kai.
If it was under normal circumstances, Lü Bu would definitely be able to cut down the two of them. However, 50 rounds was too long. Every second, there would be a Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry death.
"Kill our way out!" Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry also heard their Wolf King's angry howl. They also desperately rushed out. Only by rushing out could they have a chance to survive. They began to go crazy. They were not afraid of death. They also did not care about the enemy behind them. They only wanted to kill the enemy in front of them. Even if they died, they wanted to open a bloody path for their comrades.
"Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, you will definitely lose!" Although Zhang Kai's broadsword was less offensive and more defensive, it did not stop him from mocking Lü Bu. He was disturbing Lü Bu's mind. Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Yuzhou Cavalry were entangled together. Without the impact of the war horses, there was no difference between the cavalry. The only thing that mattered was who had more people and who was not afraid of death. Although Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not afraid of death, they did not have enough people. Every time after a Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry killed a Yuzhou Cavalry, they would be killed by a Yuzhou Cavalry before they could react. At this rate, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not be able to hold on for long.
The Yu Province Cavalry was also suffering heavy casualties. Zhang Kai's heart was also in pain. These were all his subordinates. Aside from the war horses, the cavalry themselves were also precious. Whether it was Sun Ce's Army, Lu Bu's Army, or Cao Bu's Army, every time they recruit soldiers, they would let the cavalry pick their men first. Once the cavalry was done, the other soldiers would be chosen. Sometimes, the elite soldiers would be directly selected from the active forces. Each cavalry had to go through a long period of training. Their food was probably the best among all the armies. However, when he thought about wiping out the Wolf Cavalry, his mood was a lot better. His revenge was finally achieved! After fighting with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry for so many times, this was probably his first victory! After exterminating them, the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry would disappear from this land. After that, the Yu Province Cavalry led by Zhang Kai would become the true king of cavalry, and Zhang Kai would become the second War God.
Taishi Ci didn't do that. He wholeheartedly fought with Lü Bu because he knew that Zhang Kai's words wouldn't be able to shake this man's heart. From Lü Bu, Taishi Ci could vaguely see the figure of Sun Ce. No, it should be said that he could see the figure of Lü Bu from Sun Ce. Lü Bu was what Sun Ce would look like many years later. Sun Ce was overbearing and could lead his soldiers to charge and retreat. Sun Ce was aloof and arrogant. As a lord, he only had a few friends. Zhou Yu was one of them and Taishi Ci was another.
However, the current Lü Bu wasn't that overbearing and arrogant anymore! Yes! Lü Bu was even more overbearing than Sun Ce. He could suppress eighteen feudal lords by himself. He dared to say that he could go anywhere he wanted. He lived under the Yuan Shao's fence and dared to offend Yuan Benchu. You say that Lü Bu wasn't overbearing! Lü Bu was aloof and arrogant. In this world, there was no one else who could fight him fairly other than Huang Zhong! Even Liu, Guan, and Zhang needed the three of them to fight him to a draw. Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Xu Chu were surrounded by Lü Bu, but two of them were seriously injured by Lü Bu. In the end, Li Dian died in the hands of Lü Bu.
Sun Ce was the young Lü Bu, and Lü Bu was the old Sun Ce. Lü Bu was old. Although Lü Bu didn't say it out loud, he understood a lot in his heart. He was no longer the obstinate and obstinate Lü Bu. He was also no longer the treacherous Lü Bu who would give his daughter away for a little benefit.
Now, he was the one who made the world's warlords fear. Cao Cao attacked him, Yuan Shao expelled him, and Jiangdong slandered him. In conclusion, wasn't it because he was afraid of Lü Bu?
Cao Cao was afraid of Lü Bu, this fierce tiger. Therefore, at the beginning, Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu with the intention of negotiating. He hoped that Lü Bu would form an alliance with him. Cao Cao was afraid that this fierce tiger would be used by others. Yuan Shao was afraid of him because he saw the fate of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, Lü Bu would pounce on him and kill him. Jiangdong's soldiers and Sun Ce were afraid of him because they knew that this fierce tiger was definitely not a domestic cat. When he was hungry, he would naturally look for food. They were afraid that they would become the tiger's food.
The current Lu Bu is less brave and fierce and more calm. Instead, it made Taishi Ci feel scared. A fierce tiger is always thinking of eating people when it squints.
Kill him! By killing this tiger, Sun Ce will be able to clear a mountain in his path of hegemony. Why did Sun Ce attack Lu Bu? In addition to Da Qiao's death, there is another reason. That is, Lujiang is the only springboard for Jiangdong to enter the Central Plains. Lujiang has Bagongshan and Tianding Mountain as its foundation. It also has Shucheng County, Jiashi and Shiting County. With them, Jiangdong's army can conquer the whole world. If they advance, they can plot against Yu Province and Yan Province for hegemony. If they retreat, they can defend Shucheng County and Shucheng County for hegemony. If they retreat, they can defend Shucheng County for hegemony. It must be known that after Cao Cao unified the Central Plains, he also chose to go down the river from Jingzhou to conquer Jiangdong. He did not attack Jiangdong from Lujiang and Wan Cheng because Lujiang's terrain was too dangerous. To defend these three cities, Cao Jun would have to pay at least ten times the price to attack. Lujiang also had a natural advantage, that was, a lot of salt and iron. Several iron mines were in Lujiang. As long as they found good craftsmen, they would be able to continuously equip the Jiangdong Army. Lujiang was also a land that produced grain. When Lu Kang was still alive, Wan Cheng alone could satisfy the rations of the entire Yangzhou people. The population was also not small. Most of them had migrated from other places during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There were more than a hundred thousand registered households.
Now that Lü Bu had Lujiang, it could be said that he had blocked Sun Cejun's path to the Central Plains. Moreover, because the Lvbu Army did not have a navy (Sun Cejun thought that they had eliminated the only navy in the Lvbu Army), once the Lvbu Army had a navy, it would be a disaster for the Jiangdong Army once they crossed the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River was so long that the Jiangdong Army could not defend everywhere. Once the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry or the Formation Breaker came ashore, it would be a big problem. The Jiangdong Army would not be able to defend at all. Moreover, the main force of the Jiangdong Army was fighting the Jingzhou Army in Jiang Xia.
Therefore, although Zhou Yu knew that it was not appropriate to start a war on two fronts, he still agreed to let Sun Ce return to Lujiang. He wanted to catch Lü Bu off guard before he could gain a firm foothold. He wanted to let the nobles rebel against Lü Bu and force him to withdraw from Lujiang. It was just like when Lü Bu withdrew from Yanzhou. Except for Zhang Miao and Zhang family, no other nobles in Yanzhou welcomed Lü Bu. This was the reason why Lü Bu was driven out of Yanzhou. Everywhere Cao Jun went, the nobles in Yanzhou would inform him. They would tell him how much food and fodder the Lvbu's Army had, where they were stationed, who the generals were, and when they would change shifts. When Cao Cao counterattacked, the nobles cooperated to open the city gate. This was what led to Lü Bu's rapid defeat and had to retreat from Yanzhou. If it wasn't for Liu Bei's whimsical idea of letting Lü Bu be his guard dog and blocking Cao Cao's way to attack Xuzhou, he was afraid that Lü Bu would have been killed by Cao Cao at that time.
But who would've thought that the soldiers of Wancheng City and the nobles of Lujiang were sold off by the Liu family. Lü Bu and Liu Mang, the two son-in-law, directly cut off the nobles. They didn't care about their reputation and killed every single one of them. This led to Sun Ce's failure in attacking Wancheng City.
Now, after killing Lü Bu, the danger and stumbling block in front of Sun Ce had disappeared. In addition, half of Jiangxia was already in the hands of Sun Ce. It could be said that if Sun Ce put in more effort, he would definitely be able to pacify Jingzhou before the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was decided. If he was lucky, he would also be able to conquer Yizhou. After all, Liu Zhang of Yizhou was not a wise ruler. At that time, whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, they would not be able to stop Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army from marching into the Central Plains.
The great cause was right in front of him. As long as he killed this person and Lü Bu, Sun Ce's empire would be within his reach. Taishi Ci also erupted. The strength in his hands was getting stronger and stronger. Lü Bu frowned. He didn't know why this halberd-wielding general was getting more and more difficult to deal with.
Taishi Ci looked at Lü Bu. Now, Lü Bu had become a stumbling block in front of Taishi Ci. What he wanted to do was to delay Lü Bu. As long as he delayed Lü Bu, the Yuzhou Cavalry would kill the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Then, even the God of War would fall.
