"Everyone, charge!" Guo Jia commanded. The spearmen moved forward and assumed an offensive posture. Only Guo Fengxiao was able to face the cavalry.
"You dare to charge at the cavalry?" Lü Bu was surprised. Generally, when the infantry met the cavalry in the field, they would either run for their lives or defend on the spot. They would never charge at the cavalry.
"Something is wrong?" Lü Bu was not a fool. For Guo Jia to be called a genius, he must have some outstanding points. How could he make such a big mistake? Once the infantry formation was disrupted by the cavalry, they would only be slaughtered.
"Bait!" Lü Bu instantly understood. Using these spearmen as bait, as long as Lü Bu led the troops to attack, the archers behind would shoot directly at the cavalry. The shields on both sides would surround them. At that time, they would not be able to escape.
"Not good!" Sure enough, just as Lu Bu had expected, the archers pulled back their longbows and started to shoot straight instead of throwing arrows.
"Horses!" Lü Bu was shocked. "Everyone, use your shields to protect the horses!" He had really underestimated this Guo Fengxiao. He actually found the weakness of the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry so quickly.
"Swish!" A rain of arrows fell down. Countless horses fell down. Fortunately, the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry was prepared. Under the protection of their shields, the cavalry did not suffer any injuries. The horses that were hit by the arrows quickly changed to another one. When they broke out of the encirclement, there were less than 3000 people left in the city. Liu Mang brought 5000 horses.
In just a moment, Lü Bu lost no less than 100 horses. Lü Bu felt a pain in his heart. These were all good horses. Every one of them could be the king of horses. But now, they fell on the road of charging.
"Humph! Although the cavalry is strong, how can the horses stop them? "Guo Jia looked at the dead horses and snorted." Everyone, listen to my order. Quickly shoot! Horses! "How can a cavalry be called a cavalry without horses?
"Guo Fengxiao!" Lü Bu's eyes flashed. He raised his halberd and said, "Increase the speed and distance!" The range of the arrows was limited. As long as the distance was increased, the arrows would not be able to hurt him.
"You want to escape?" Guo Fengxiao looked at the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry moving further and further away. He wanted to stop them, but he did not have the mobility of a cavalry.
"Da da!" Just as the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry was about to leave, they suddenly turned and returned to the battlefield. "Escape? How is that possible? I, Lu Bu, do not have the word "runaway" in my vocabulary! Ordinary archers could shoot up to 120 steps. Elite archers who had undergone training could shoot up to 150 steps.
Under Lü Bu's lead, the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry charged forward again. When they reached 150 steps, they quickly turned and moved towards the flanks.
"What is he trying to do?" Guo Jia frowned. He did not understand Lü Bu's intention. "Raise the bows?" The Bingzhou Wolf cavalry raised their bows and pulled the bowstrings.
150 steps! This was a safe distance. The arrows would not be able to reach them. Was Lü Bu crazy?
A gentle breeze blew on Guo Jia's face. It made his flushed face look more refreshed.
"Wind!" Guo Jia's eyes widened. "It's the wind, the wind!"
"That's right, Guo Fengxiao. It's the wind!" Lü Bu smiled. During the attack, Lü Bu had grasped the direction of the wind. They were at the upwind and Cao Jun was at the downwind. 150 steps was the normal distance for an arrow. However, what if the wind was added?
"It's impolite not to reciprocate! Bingzhou Wolf cavalry, raise your bows and shoot! " All of the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry raised their bows. They were skilled with bows and arrows. Under the effect of the wind, wave after wave of arrows were shot into Cao Jun's camp.
The first to suffer were the archers hiding in the camp. These archers were the biggest threat to the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry. Lü Bu wanted to kill them first. These wolf cubs hated Cao Jun's archers to the bone. Therefore, they did not stop shooting.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" Arrows fell like rain. Flowers of blood could be seen in the rain. Suddenly, the archer camp suffered heavy casualties. Three thousand of the ten thousand soldiers were killed. The rest were injured.
"Bang!" Guo Jia threw away his feather fan and punched the pillar of the stands.
"Bingzhou Wolf cavalry!" Lü Bu raised his halberd.
"Hungry, hungry!" The wolf cubs under the leadership of the wolf king, Lu Bu, began to go crazy. "All units, charge!"
When the archers were suppressed, Guo Jia knew it was over. His spearmen were at the front. He wanted to be bait. Now that the hook was gone, the bait was no longer bait. He had become fish food.
What was a massacre? When a group of heavy cavalry charged into a group of infantrymen who only had spears as weapons, the spears would not be able to break through the defense of the heavy cavalry. On the other hand, the cavalry on the horses could easily kill the spearmen who only had plate armor. Even if they encountered some officers who had iron armor, they would be killed within a few rounds.
In the midst of the massacre, Lü Bu saw a familiar face. Li Dian! The Li Dian who almost killed him under Kaiyang City. The Long Spear Battalion belonged to him. Therefore, as a general, even if he was injured, he would still go into battle.
Revenge was a dish best served cold. Lü Bu was not willing. He would take revenge on the spot.
"Li Dian, do you recognize me?" Lü Bu rode his horse and arrived in front of Li Dian. Li Dian was in imminent danger. Infantrymen could not fight against cavalry. If it was not for Li Dian's bodyguards protecting him, Li Dian might have died in the chaos.
"Lü Bu!" Li Dian smiled bitterly. He knew that he could not escape today. If it was only the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry, Li Dian believed that he could still escape with his life. However, Lü Bu was here?!
Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and himself were not Lü Bu's opponent. Now, he was the only one left who could survive.
"Your memory is not bad!" Lü Bu smiled.
"Dang!" Li Dian threw down the weapon in his hand. "Wen Hou, Dian knows that it is difficult to escape death. However, before Dian dies, Dian wishes to ask Wen Hou for a favor!" Li Dian was already heavily injured in Kaiyang City. Now, he was fighting with injuries. Luckily, he met Lü Bu. If he could survive, it would be a miracle.
"Have you accepted your fate?!" Lü Bu looked at Li Dian. A general's weapon was used to protect his life on the battlefield. If you lost your weapon, it meant that you had given up on your life. "Speak!"
"I am not accepting my fate! I just do not want to increase the number of casualties! " Li Dian said. "Dian can commit suicide in front of Wen Hou. However, I hope that Wen Hou will let my eight bodyguards go!"
"General!" The eight bodyguards surrounding Li Dian became anxious. "We swear to protect General with our lives!" Were they not afraid of meeting Lü Bu? They were also afraid! During the Battle of Kaiyang, they were also present. Originally, there were a hundred bodyguards left. However, how could they use their general's life in exchange for their lives?
"What if I do not agree?!" On the battlefield, the most important thing for a general was his own soldiers. Looking at them, Lü Bu seemed to have thought of something. Hao Meng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng! Which one of them did not come from his own bodyguards? If he was in Li Dian's position, would they swear to protect him with their lives? Would he use his own life in exchange for their lives?
"If you do not agree, then Dian can only fight to the death with Wen Hou!" Li Dian took a deep breath and said. His face was pale. His injuries had not healed. Right now, he was like a cornered beast.
"Alright, I agree!" Lü Bu closed his eyes and thought for a while. "If you die, these eight people can return to their formation!"
"Then Dian will thank Wen Hou!" Li Dian picked up the long blade on the ground again. This time, he did not resist. Instead, he committed suicide.
"General, you must not! You must not!" The eight people panicked and wanted to snatch the blade back. However, Li Dian's martial arts were above theirs. Furthermore, Li Dian was the master and they were the servants. They naturally feared Li Dian.
"Are you not going to listen to my words?!" Li Dian glared angrily and said, "Scram! All of you, scram! I, Li Dian, am not a person without parents. You just have to live and take care of my parents!"
"General!"
"Pu!" A flower of blood suddenly flew up. The long blade had drunk the blood of its master. That blood was boiling hot. Li Dian was dead!
"All of you, leave!" Lü Bu looked at Li Dian who committed suicide in front of him and said with a trace of pity.
"Leave! Haha!" The remaining eight people suddenly knelt in front of Li Dian's corpse. "General, I am afraid that we will have to go against your wishes. Our parents are no longer able to help you take care of them. Please walk slowly below and wait for us.
Yes, we will be there immediately! "
"Pu, pu, pu!" Blood splattered all over Lü Bu's face. The eight corpses knelt down in front of Li Dian.
Lü Bu licked his lips. "So this blood is actually hot!"
Cao Jun was in the formation.
Guo Jia said, "Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian is indeed worthy of being called the God of War!" His eyes flickered as he looked forward. The Long Spear Battalion was already not far from the main camp. The two people's gazes met in the air.
"Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao is also not bad! You are a genius, scheming against my Xu Province! "Lü Bu raised his eyebrows.
"If that's the case, let us fight again next time!"
"I will definitely accompany you!"
