A few seconds later, Lu Bu picked up another general and put him on his left shoulder. Although he was carrying two generals on his back earlier, he was not affected at all. Even Dian Wei could not catch up with him.
It was not until Lu Bu put the third general on his left shoulder that he slowed down a little, and Dian Wei finally had a chance to attack him.
Lu Bu's agility was greatly affected. Although he could resist Dian Wei's attacks, he seemed to be having a hard time.
Also, Lu Bu was inside the Qianji Black First Battalion and surrounded by Yang Rui's soldiers. When Lu Bu finally reached the edge of the camp, it was already impossible for him to move forward.
The most difficult one to deal with was, of course, Dian Wei. Lu Bu had been on par with him earlier. Although Lu Bu had the upper hand from the beginning to the end, Lu Bu failed to defeat Dian Wei because of the interference of the Qianji Black First Battalion and the battlefield.
At this moment, not only were the two kinds of interference still there, but Lu Bu was also carrying three wounded soldiers on his back. When he faced Dian Wei again, he had to ensure the safety of the three generals on his back. Therefore, Lu Bu was at a disadvantage.
"Ha!"
Seeing that he would be at a disadvantage if the battle continued, Lu Bu swung the Sky Piercer in his hand as a cover and threw out the two generals on his left shoulder.
Lu Bu's battle circle was not far away from the edge of the Qianji Black First Battalion. After being thrown out with all his strength, the two generals on his shoulder were thrown far away in an arc, to where Lu Bu's soldiers were densest outside the Qianji Black First Battalion.
The throw was so fast and hurried that Yang Rui's soldiers on the edge of the Qianji Black First Battalion did not react in time to attack even though they had long-range soldiers. Even Dian Wei, who was fighting Lu Bu in close combat, did not see it coming and did not throw out his hidden Sky Piercer in time.
Thus, Lu Bu's toss allowed two of his subordinates to escape with their lives. Although they would inevitably receive injuries that were neither light nor heavy when they landed, they were quickly rescued by Lu Bu's troops. Compared to being captured by Yang Rui's troops, this was a much better outcome.
Lu Bu's move not only showed his abundant battle experience, but also his magnificent strength. Like a rock, he was facing Dian Wei and Yang Rui's soldiers. He was still standing firm!
"Ha!"
Clang! Clang! Clang …
… "
"…"
"…"
Dian Wei was even more infuriated when he failed to stop Lu Bu's previous actions. Although he was amazed by Lu Bu's extraordinary strength, he was even more pissed. He stabbed his halberds like raindrops and fought Lu Bu with all his strength.
"Ha!"
There was no time for Lu Bu to resist. Also, Dian Wei, who had gone all out, was not easy to deal with either. Therefore, after a few rounds of fighting with Dian Wei and his subordinates, Lu Bu made another feint. Then, Lu Bu jumped out of the Qianji Black First Battalion.
Without the burden of the two generals on his shoulders, Lu Bu had regained his previous agility. By the time he flew out, it was already too late for Dian Wei and Yang Rui's soldiers to chase after him.
However, Dian Wei knew that he couldn't catch up with Lu Bu this time. Therefore, he threw out two halberds and chased after Lu Bu.
Clang!
"Pu!"
"…"
"…"
Although Lu Bu was strong, Dian Wei's halberds came too suddenly, and Lu Bu's coordination was not good enough. In the end, Lu Bu only had time to knock down one of Dian Wei's halberds, and the other one stabbed into the back of the general he was carrying!
The general Lu Bu was carrying was Hou Cheng, who was first injured by Dian Wei. Earlier, he vomited blood after being hit by Dian Wei's halberd. Now that Hou Cheng was hit by Dian Wei's halberd again, there was no telling what the final outcome would be.
Lu Bu's crazy rescue operation in the end did show his amazing strength. He threw or carried Han Xian, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng out of the Qianji Black First Battalion. Almost nobody could stop him!
It was only because Cheng Lian was killed by Dian Wei earlier and was not tied up by Yang Rui's soldiers or caught Lu Bu's attention. Otherwise, Lu Bu might've tried his best to rescue him too, and he might've succeeded in the end!
Later, Hou Cheng was hit by Dian Wei's halberd and died. However, it was obvious that Lu Bu was better than Dian Wei in the battle. Judging from Lu Bu's performance later, it was hard to tell how many rounds Dian Wei could've fought him without the geographical advantage of the Qianji Black First Battalion.
After throwing Han Xian, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng out of the Qianji Black First Battalion, Lu Bu hastily gathered his personal guards, and fled to the west of the battlefield with the rest of his soldiers.
At this moment, the 600,000 to 700,000 players from Dragon Soul and the other large player organizations had almost reached the Qianji Black First Battalion. After Lu Bu and the others retreated, the players had a great advantage. The remaining soldiers of Lu Bu's army were almost wiped out!
Lu Bu's army was not the first to retreat. When a large number of players appeared on the south side of the Qianji Black First Battalion, Cao Cao, who was on the north side of the Qianji Black First Battalion, realized that he couldn't defeat Yang Rui's army in a short time. Therefore, Cao Cao decided to leave.
After confirming that Lu Bu's army was indeed unable to resist the players' army, Cao Cao immediately chose to retreat, even before Lu Bu's army was defeated.
Compared with the complete defeat of Lu Bu's army, Cao Cao's retreat was much more orderly. In addition, Cao Cao's army and Yang Rui's army were on par with each other. Therefore, Cao Cao's retreat wasn't too passive.
Even so, a battlefield was still a battlefield. Even though Cao Cao's troops had retreated in an orderly manner and his generals had the advantage in numbers, they still couldn't escape the fate of being ruthlessly slaughtered by Yang Rui's troops. Many of them had been lost.
However, because Yang Rui was injured and there weren't enough generals in the army, Yang Rui's army didn't chase too far. This gave Cao Cao's army a chance to catch their breath. Otherwise, Cao Cao's army might not be any better than Lu Bu's army.
At this point, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's army were defeated by Yang Rui's army. Although the 600,000 to 700,000 players from Dragon Soul and the other player organizations played an important role, it didn't affect Yang Rui's army's reputation.
There were many ordinary players who participated in the battle between the three factions. Therefore, the news of this battle spread again in the near future, causing a strong reaction. As the player forums were closed during the storyline, Yang Rui didn't think too much about this matter.
