The sun slowly rose. Cao Jun was already cooking. Today was the last day, he must take down Kaiyang and return to Xiapi.
"Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, your head, I, Cao Mengde, will take it!" Cao Cao was tormented by a headache for an entire night and couldn't sleep well. Right now, he really wanted to kill someone.
"Pass down my order, the entire army is to prepare. After an incense stick's worth of time, we will attack the city with all our might. Anyone who kills a person from the Lvbu Army will be rewarded with ten gold, five mu of fertile farmland, and a promotion of one rank." The remaining Lvbu Army soldiers were all the elites among the Lvbu Army. They were very hard to kill because every move they made was a killing technique. They knew how to kill people in the fastest and most effortless way.
"Anyone who kills a general from the Lvbu Army will be rewarded with a mansion, ten beauties, a hundred gold, and a promotion of three ranks!"
"Anyone who kills Lü Bu will be rewarded with ten thousand Marquis, a promotion to one of the Nine Ministers, and a title of General!" Cao Cao was ruthless. He wanted to give out a huge reward for killing Lü Bu.
"The Prime Minister has ordered the entire army to prepare. After an incense stick's worth of time, we will attack the city with all our might. Anyone who kills a person from the Lvbu Army will be rewarded with ten gold, five mu of fertile farmland, and a promotion of one rank. Anyone who kills a general from the Lvbu Army will be rewarded with a mansion, ten beauties, a hundred gold, and a promotion of three ranks! Anyone who kills Lü Bu will be rewarded with ten thousand Marquis, a promotion to one of the Nine Ministers, and a promotion of one of the Nine Ministers. The orders were passed down one after another. Cao Jun's generals were all sharpening their swords and wiping their palms. They wanted to make a name for themselves and become Marquis.
Only Xu Chu was very lonely. Today, His Lord has already given the death order. Lu Bu must die. There will be one less opponent in this world.
"Ka Ka Ka Ka!" Kaiyang City. The city gate that was originally piled with corpses, the gate that the Cao army had failed to capture even after losing twenty thousand soldiers, suddenly opened. A general wearing golden armor and holding a trident strode out on his horse.
"Lü Bu?!" Cao Cao could see Lü Bu at a glance, just like how Lü Bu could recognize Cao Cao at a glance.
"Are you at the end of your rope and ready to surrender?!" Cao Cao smiled. In ancient times, it was very difficult to open and close a city gate. Once it was opened, it would take a very long time to close it. This time was definitely enough for his army to rush over. He originally thought that he would have to fight a siege battle, but now it seems that he only needed to fight a battle of annihilation.
"Surrender? Impossible! " Guo Jia waved his feather fan. His wine had been hidden away by Lao Cao. Without wine to drink, Guo Jia was naturally unhappy. "If I wanted to subdue him, I would have done so long ago!"
"Then what does he want to do?!" Cao Cao asked from the side.
"He probably wants to fight to the death!" Xu Chu replied. He was a top class general and naturally knew the loneliness of being an expert. He would rather die standing than live kneeling!
"Fight to the death?!" Cao Cao also understood. This was indeed Lü Bu's style. With only three thousand Bing Province Heavy Cavalry, Lü Bu dared to attack the camp of the eighteen warlords. Now that the city walls could no longer be defended, he might as well go out and fight to the death.
Sure enough, Lü Bu raised his trident to the sky and shouted at Cao Jun. "Cao Mengde, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian are here. Why aren't you coming forward for a chat?!"
"My lord, don't go!" Guo Jia looked at Lü Bu with some worry. This man was the man known as the God of War. Did he really want to fight to the death by shouting 'my lord'? Or? Guo Jia didn't understand the thoughts of the generals. It was just like how his scheme couldn't be guessed by the generals.
Guo Jia thought that this might be Lü Bu's scheme. He wanted to make a final gamble and take advantage of the opportunity when Cao Cao went forward to talk to Cao Cao.
"Fengxiao, don't be alarmed. With Zhongkang here, Lü Bu won't be able to hurt me!" Cao Cao also knew what Guo Jia was thinking. However, he wasn't afraid because there was something he didn't say. Lü Bu wasn't the kind of person who would go back on his words and kill in front of a battle.
Cao Cao didn't wait for Guo Jia to figure out the reason. He led Xu Chu and the others to the front of the army.
"Mengde, is Xiapi still okay?!" Lü Bu asked calmly.
Lü Bu also guessed the situation in Xiapi? Cao Cao wasn't too surprised because Lü Bu had the top strategist Chen Gong by his side. If Chen Gong didn't think of it, then Cao Cao would be surprised. Furthermore, Lao Cao believed that Chen Gong played an important role in Chen Deng's rebellion.
"Aren't we preparing to go back?!" Cao Cao spoke as if he was talking about daily life.
"Do you really want to kill me, Lü Bu?!" Lü Bu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Cao Cao was also very straightforward. "As long as Fengxian is alive, Cao Cao can't sleep!"
"Hahahaha, Mengde, you are actually so afraid of me!" Lü Bu laughed.
"Am I not afraid?!" Cao Cao said. "I have said it before, in this world, there are only a few people who can make me look askance. You, Lü Bu, are one of them. You are suitable to be the soul of an army, but you can't be the ruler of a country! It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, Lu Fengxian. It's just that you're blocking my path. Therefore, you must die! "Cao Cao stared straight at Lu Bu. His killing intent was surging.
"Blocking your path?!" Lü Bu muttered to himself. "Sure enough, Gongtai was right. Mengde, your ambition is not small!"
"Chen Gong?!"
"Alright, Mengde, since you want my life, then come and take it. I heard that in order to kill me, you even brought your elite Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, a total of three thousand heavy cavalry. These should be prepared personally for Lü Bu!" Lü Bu said with a smile.
Cao Cao didn't say anything. Indeed, the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry was established by Cao Cao after he was defeated by Lü Bu's three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Their purpose was to defeat the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Therefore, when they attacked Xu Province, Cao Cao brought them over.
"Come, Mengde, use your most elite soldiers to settle things with me, Lü Bu!" Lü Bu pointed his halberd at the three thousand heavy cavalry behind Cao Cao.
"To be able to die at the hands of the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, Fengxian, you will die a worthy death!" Cao Cao turned his horse around and returned to the main formation. The three thousand Ferocious Leopard Cavalry made a dull sound as they arrived at the front of the formation.
The general leading them was Cao Chun. After being besieged by Kaiyang for so many days, his Ferocious Leopard Cavalry had no place to show their skills. Cao Chun was almost sick from holding back. Now, he actually sent out the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry for the final battle. Cao Chun was very happy. In his opinion, what could Lü Bu have left? Even if they were elites, they were still infantry. How could a two legged person defeat a four legged person?
Moreover, the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry were heavy cavalry. If it was a siege battle, his Ferocious Leopard Cavalry would not be a match for them. However, in a field battle, even if there were ten times more opponents, Cao Chun was confident that he could tear them to shreds.
"Point of the Sword!" Cao Chun roared. "Invincible!" The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry began to run. The earth trembled as the heavy armored cavalry stepped on the ground, causing people's hearts to tremble.
"Is this the power of the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry?!" Although Guo Jia knew that the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry were elites, he had never seen them in action. When he saw the dust raised by the heavy armored cavalry as they ran, as well as their imposing manner, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
"This battle is decided!" Cao Cao laughed. The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry had never lost in a field battle. Even if it was the same type of heavy armored cavalry, Cao Cao believed that his Ferocious Leopard Cavalry would not lose to the opponent.
"Something's wrong!" Xu Chu suddenly shook his head. He began to feel a little uneasy.
"What's wrong? Zhong Kang?! " Cao Cao asked with a smile. "This time, killing Lü Bu also requires Zhong Kang's contribution. If Zhong Kang did not injure this fierce tiger, how could we force it out?!"
Xu Chu did not respond to Cao Cao's question about his contribution. Instead, he said to himself, "The movement is wrong!"
"Milord, I want to see Milord! Get out of the way! "An armored general suddenly rushed into the tent. Wasn't this person Xu Huang?
"Gongming?" Cao Cao saw the newcomer and ordered the guards to let him pass. "We were just discussing the contribution of killing Lü Bu. Gongming, you also contributed greatly!"
"No, no, Milord, it's not that!" Xu Huang hurriedly said. "This movement, there are heavy armored cavalry nearby!"
"Heavy armored cavalry? Are you talking about the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry?! How is it? My Ferocious Leopard Cavalry is the elite of the elite right? How is it compared to Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Cavalry?! "Xu Huang originally followed Yang Feng and was naturally very familiar with the Western Liang Cavalry.
"Is it Milord's Ferocious Leopard Cavalry?!" Xu Huang was puzzled. "Milord, didn't you only bring three thousand Ferocious Leopard Cavalry? How can there be nearly ten thousand of them?! "
"Nearly ten thousand?!" Cao Cao was also puzzled.
"Milord, listen. This is the sound of the earth trembling. This is clearly the sound of nearly ten thousand cavalry moving nearby!" Xu Huang replied.
"More than ten thousand cavalry?!" Cao Cao was even more puzzled.
"Yes, more than ten thousand cavalry!" Xu Chu also reacted. "This movement is too big, too big. It's impossible for it to be produced by the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry alone. There are other cavalry nearby!"
"Other than the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, there are other cavalry?!" Cao Cao immediately had a bad feeling. If it was really as Xu Huang and Xu Chu said, there were more than ten thousand cavalry nearby. Other than the three thousand Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, there were still seven thousand that weren't his subordinates?
"Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, your head is mine! When you go to hell, don't forget to tell him that it was me who sent you down!" Lü Bu's eyes were filled with malevolence as he looked at the approaching Lü Bu.
"Hehe, there are too many people who want my, Lü Bu's, life! Who are you, Cao Chun?! "Lü Bu smiled confidently as if there was no one in front of him.
"Ka Ka Ka!" The gates of Kaiyang City were all opened. Under the sunlight, the light reflected off the armor was dazzling. One after another, horses with no end in sight rushed out of the city. On top of the horses, soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears were surging with killing intent.
"Cavalry?!" Cao Chun was suddenly shocked. "Where did these cavalry come from?!"
Just like that, two torrents of steel collided. (PS: I knew it, I still have a writer's block! A showdown between cavalry! A battle of flesh and blood! This is the fourth update! Alright, I missed your two updates. On the first of April, I'll make up for it with the fourth update! Also, I have to think about the quality of the novel! I can't just focus on quantity # # # # #)
