Originally, Lu Bu had wanted to slow down the pace of the battle so that it would be more beneficial to him. However, at the same time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's battle circle had relaxed quite a bit.
This also created an opportunity for the Imperial Guard to attack a second time. If it had been before, the Imperial Guard would have had a hard time grasping the opportunity to attack.
The previous time the Imperial Guard attacked, it was almost single-handedly facing Lu Bu. Furthermore, Lu Bu's condition was much better than now. Now that the Imperial Guard attacked again, although Lu Bu was already on guard, he was entangled by Zhao Yun to the point that he could not split his attention. His current condition was also incomparable to before.
Precisely because of this, when this stream of light appeared in the void once again, it practically represented death. Even if its target was Lu Bu, the number one in the Three Kingdoms region, the result would not be much different.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Pu!"
"…"
After the stream of light, the sound of a blade being drawn could be heard, followed by the sound of a blade and spear piercing into flesh.
However, this blade of the Imperial Guard did not really have any effect. It must be said that Lu Bu was indeed worthy of the Three Kingdoms region's title of War God. The blade of the Imperial Guard that was aimed at his heart was actually forcefully evaded by Lu Bu at the very last moment.
In the end, the blade pierced into Lu Bu's right shoulder below his collarbone, piercing through his shoulder.
"Bang!"
"Ugh!"
"…"
At the same time, although the Imperial Guard was retreating with one strike, Lu Bu was also attacked by Zhao Yun. However, Lu Bu was still able to send the Imperial Guard flying with the hilt of his spear. Only after flying over ten zhang away did the Imperial Guard stagger twice and spit out several mouthfuls of blood. Slowly, it entered the state of concealment.
However, this was already enough. Not only did the Imperial Guard's attack injure Lu Bu once again, it also threw Lu Bu's attacking and defending rhythm into chaos. Under Zhao Yun's ferocious attacks, Lu Bu was already in a disadvantageous position, unable to resist at all.
"Haa!"
"…"
Lu Bu was like a cornered beast fighting. Naturally, Yang Rui would not give up on this opportunity. From the start, he did not plan to fight Lu Bu one on one. Thus, the moment Lu Bu fell into a bitter struggle, Yang Rui did not hesitate to join the battle.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"…"
Yang Rui's spear had just pierced out when the north gate of Ping County was suddenly enveloped in mist. Like a steamer, the soldiers and horses were galloping. It was Lu Bu's troops who had seen their commander in danger and had rushed out to attack under Chen Gong's orders.
"Creak! Creak! Creak … "
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"…"
Behind them, Yang Rui's heavy trebuchets began to roar angrily once again. However, Lu Bu's troops were using the cover of the fog to rush out of the city, making it impossible for them to discover them. The trebuchets could only attack roughly according to their previous trajectory and in the end, were unable to completely stop Lu Bu's troops from rushing out.
At this moment, the Heaven Piercing Crossbows and Divine Mechanism Crossbows were useless unless they didn't consider the lives of Yang Rui and Zhao Yun, who were still fighting on the frontlines. However, that was obviously impossible.
Clang! Clang! Clang! "
"Roar!"
"…"
The fierce battle between Yang Rui, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu had also reached the most crucial moment. Especially after Yang Rui had joined in, although he was only attacking from the side, after a few moves, Lu Bu was already on the verge of collapsing. He could only use desperate moves to hold on for a short while.
At this moment, Lu Bu's desperate resistance and his troops' desperate charge to rescue him had entered into a race of time. If Lu Bu could hold on until his troops reached his side, then with the charging power of the Bing Province Cavalry, he would obtain a very large chance of survival.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
"Huff huff huff …"
"…"
The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of horse hooves and the neighing of war horses intertwined together. Death and life were fighting for every moment. When Lu Bu rushed out of Ping County, he obviously didn't expect this moment to come. His Bing Province Cavalry indeed lived up to their reputation. In the blink of an eye, they had already closed in.
Although there were Lu Bu cavalry falling down at every moment, even being smashed by huge rocks and killed, once they rushed out of the area covered by the heavy trebuchets near the city gate, the Lu Bu cavalry had lost their restraints and madly charged toward Yang Rui's battle group.
"Zilong, retreat! Order the Heaven Piercing Crossbows to attack! "
Seeing Lu Bu's Bing Province Cavalry closing in, Yang Rui's arrangement was about to be completely wasted. In a hurry, Yang Rui shouted to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's expression showed a trace of confusion. However, the attack in his hands did not stop. Soon, he seemed to have understood.
"Hah!"
Zhao Yun immediately struck a heavy blow and forced Lu Bu back a step. Then, in a flash, he urged his horse to return to his original formation.
"Hah!"
Lu Bu was forced by Yang Rui and Zhao Yun to the side of Yang Rui's troops. After being forced back a step, he also couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Following that, Yang Rui also struck a heavy blow and took over Zhao Yun's position to attack Lu Bu.
The successive heavy blows caused Lu Bu to retreat a step again. However, seeing that Zhao Yun had retreated and Yang Rui was the only one left, Lu Bu saw the hope of escaping. His attacks immediately sharpened. In the blink of an eye, he suppressed Yang Rui to the point where he could only parry and not have the strength to fight back.
At this moment, Yang Rui also activated the Golden Jade Battle Armor, which gave him an invincible defense. Abandoning his spear, he threw out his nameless three-foot sword and began to exchange blows with Lu Bu.
Even so, once the heavily injured Lu Bu saw the hope of escaping from the battle, Yang Rui was also unable to stop him. After only three to four exchanges, Lu Bu had already switched positions with Yang Rui. He could leave Yang Rui at any time.
"Release the arrows! Release the arrows! "
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhao Yun had already shouted out an order. Immediately, clumps of thick crossbow bolts roared as they rushed toward Yang Rui and Lu Bu's battle circle. They also rushed toward the Bing Province Cavalry that was charging over.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Hu! Hu! Hu! "
"…"
The crossbow bolts were like flying dragons, like locusts. Lu Bu immediately realized that danger was approaching. Before this, he had already seen the attack power of the Divine Armament Sky Shattering Crossbow. Moreover, it was in such a concentrated situation.
However, at this moment, even if Lu Bu had the ability to ascend to the heavens or dive into the earth, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Yang Rui's objective was to rely on his equipment's absolute defense to block Lu Bu and at the same time, allow the Divine Armaments Heaven-Shattering Crossbows to effectively kill Lu Bu and his Bing Province Cavalry.
"Roar!"
"Keng! Keng! Keng … "
"…"
As it turned out, Yang Rui's considerations were still a little too simple. Just as the Divine Armament Heaven-Shattering Crossbow was about to succeed, a cloud of purple energy rose around Lu Bu's body. It was actually an Absolute Defense skill similar to Yang Rui's!
