Faced with an enemy force nearly ten times their own, the Guanzhong cavalry led by Lu Bu himself not only showed no fear, but each of them was as eager to give it a try as their leader Lu Bu, and they even whispered to each other and decided how many heads each of them would get in a while.
But it’s no wonder they are like this.
They had no idea what the plan was, they just listened to other Chu soldiers praising their abilities and seemed to understand.
But after personally following General Lu, a man of superb martial arts who seemed to be assisted by God and who was willing to personally charge into battle and kill the main general for half a year, and after witnessing his powerful twelve consecutive hits that day, how could he not understand whether General Lu was a mere figurehead or a god sent from heaven
Not to mention looking at this motley crowd, even if they were to fight against the elite troops led by the Overlord himself, they would still be fully confident!
If Peng Yue knew about the shameless and blatant attitude of Lu Bu's army, he would be furious.
In fact, although Peng Yue's ability in commanding troops and fighting battles was far inferior to that of extraordinary generals such as Xiang Yu and Han Xin, he had unique experience in flexible guerrilla warfare and was very proud of it.
In addition, he had gathered this group of fellow villagers for nearly half a year, and they had been training day and night. At first glance, they could definitely be described as agile and well-organized.
But once it fell into Lu Bu's eyes, this ability was really not enough.
If we talk about how to lead the least cavalry to disperse and defeat the largest number of enemies, and how to move around and change the formation, if he is second to none, who dares to claim to be number one
—If anyone really dares to do so, he will kill the ignorant bastard.
Although he came in a hurry, he was able to remain calm when he saw the prey right in front of him.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the more than 10,000 Peng Yue troops not far away and pondered for a moment, changing countless battle lines in his mind.
Thinking about how this unlucky piece of meat named Peng had escaped from the hands of that sinister old man Han, he couldn't help but become extremely alert.
The purpose of this raid was to block Peng Rouni's retreat from the very beginning.
No matter how many pairs of legs Peng Yue has, he must die here today!
He vaguely remembered that Peng Rouni was quite capable and cunning. He had harassed the Chu army repeatedly and cut off their food supply like a lingering stink bug.
This bastard must be credited for causing that not-so-bad-looking fool to commit suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River.
Now he's using the same old trick again and attacking the grain supply
Lu Bu sneered contemptuously.
—He would use Peng Yue’s most proud guerrilla attack to defeat him until he had no chance to fight back!
After carefully observing the terrain and the enemy's formation, he finally locked on the route that suited his heart the most. He pointed at Peng Yue, who was riding a tall horse and dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, and said calmly, "See that bastard named Peng? I will take care of him myself. You don't need to bother with me."
The soldiers nodded silently, indicating that they would obey the order.
Lu Bu then pointed to a small mound on the west side and calmly ordered: "In a moment, you will follow the four rows I have divided you into. Two rows will go from the back, and the other two rows will go from the east and west into the enemy group. Remember, the best thing to do is to fight to the bitter end. If one of you cuts off five heads, you will go there first and wait to meet me. Do you understand, you bastards?"
The generals then nodded vigorously again.
Seeing that the generals obeyed his orders, Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction. A bright and clear light flashed by. It turned out that he used the gorgeous and heavy Fang Tian Huaji to make a circle in the air with ease, and then he held it again at the side of the horse.
"Walk!"
Lu Bu shouted loudly, and the whole army responded!
Peng Yue's army was totally unprepared for the appearance of this cavalry. They were startled by the shout that came from nowhere. When they turned around instinctively, they saw more than a thousand Chu cavalrymen, as ferocious as wolves and tigers, rushing towards them!
The weapons tore apart flesh and blood, and blood splattered everywhere.
Under the lead of their leader, the more than a thousand Chu cavalry were unwilling to fall behind. They bared their sharp claws and tore the formation of Peng Yue's army into pieces in an instant, causing the enemy soldiers, who were wearing military uniforms but were now shocked and terrified like lambs, to howl miserably.
As soon as the two sides met, hundreds of Peng Yue's soldiers died at his hands!
Although Peng Yue, who was in the front army, was not affected for a while because of the soldiers separating him, he was at a higher place and when he looked back, his eyes were filled with anger at the scene.
On the bright Chu flag fluttering in the wind, there was a arrogant character "Lu" written on it!
The general is dressed in fancy clothes, with two pheasant tail feathers that are particularly eye-catching. He is none other than Lu Bu, who is said to be the most highly regarded by Xiang Ji!
Peng Yue hurriedly gave orders to reorganize the troops, his heart beating like a drum.
He had been extremely cautious along the way, but he didn't even know when his whereabouts were exposed!
According to the rumors he had heard, Xiang Ji valued this beloved general named Lu who had appeared out of nowhere. In addition to leaving him behind to guard the capital when he personally led the expedition to Pengcheng, he was always closely associated with him...
Since Lu Bu is here, doesn't it mean that Xiang Ji is probably nearby
As soon as this horrible guess flashed through his mind, it made his spine tremble and his hands and feet turn cold.
Although he had a high opinion of himself, he was not without self-awareness. If the two armies really faced off, even if the numbers were equal, the country warriors would be no match for the mighty Chu army, and he would definitely not be a match for the unrivaled Xiang Ji.
Even without mentioning Xiang Ji, just the fact that he was now going in and out of his camp, charging repeatedly, wielding a heavy Fang Tian Hua Ji as if it were his own arm, facing the high-spirited and fully capable Lu Bu, made him feel deeply afraid.
How unfair God is!
Xiang Ji was already unrivaled in martial arts and bravery, so why did he send a mighty general named Lu to Chu?!
Even though Peng Yue was filled with hatred, the matter was already settled.
Even though he knew rationally that with more than 10,000 enemies against more than 1,000 Chu cavalry, as long as he could reorganize the formation and boost morale, he would definitely be able to fight...
But he still subconsciously looked at the retreat route that had been planned when the ambush was deployed.
Lu Bu did not expect to destroy Peng Yue's army, which was ten times larger than his own, in just one fight.
Seizing the opportunity when the enemy was unprepared, he left more than 3,000 bloody corpses behind in the blink of an eye. He took the lead, leaving behind the formation that was gradually being reorganized under Peng Yue's command, and galloped towards the high ground that had been agreed upon beforehand, shouting a warning: "Don't just stand there, retreat!"
Upon hearing the commander's order, except for the hundred or so men who had killed five men and went out into the battle first, the remaining thousand-plus cavalrymen left the enemy soldiers around them without hesitation, swung their weapons in all directions, and took advantage of the enemy soldiers' instinctive retreat to charge out on horseback, following the commander straight to the high ground.
Peng Yue had just reorganized the disordered army formation and got the stunned soldiers to rally back into line. Before he could think of using his numerical advantage to surround the attackers, he was met with a second wave of extremely powerful assault.
More than a thousand elite cavalrymen swooped down from a great height, their hooves roaring with thunder, as fast as a hurricane passing through, with sand, gravel and grass debris flying wildly.
The momentum was so overwhelming and unstoppable that it seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth. It also frightened Peng Yue's army, which had just recovered its morale, to the point of terrified!
The soldiers in the front row who were first hit by the cavalry's recharging did not even have time to scream before they collapsed to the ground as if they were run over by a heavy bronze chariot, with no life left in them.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand flew around skillfully. His silver armor and the jade lion under him had already turned into mottled red. In a short while, he had killed dozens of Peng Yue's soldiers.
Peng Yue was attacked twice in a row. Looking at the Chu army coming and going freely and majestically in his own camp, while his own side suffered heavy losses and was in chaos, his face turned pale immediately.
Faced with this appalling disarray of the army, he had to recognize the huge disparity in strength between the two armies.
—Who is stronger, a thousand wolves or ten thousand lambs
Peng Yue was always quick to see opportunities. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he resolutely decided to abandon the soldiers still in the formation and lead his trusted men to break out from the rear route.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu had been staring at him out of the corner of his eye. At first, he didn't want to rush in alone in order to secure victory, but now that victory was in his grasp, why would he let that meat paste Peng run away again
His eyes widened, and almost the next moment Peng Yue turned his horse's head, he roared angrily: "Peng thief, run, run!!!"
The enemy soldier closest to Lu Bu at this time was lucky to escape because he temporarily stopped the momentum of his Fang Tian Hua Ji and made an incredibly agile turn and rushed straight towards Peng Yue...
However, this earth-shattering roar made his ears buzz, his brain concussed, and he almost vomited.
The horses under him were also greatly frightened, and they led the knights to run wildly in the field, rushing several miles in a blink of an eye.
Little did he know at that time, it was this horse that was frightened by the roar that narrowly saved his life from the evil star's halberd that fell that day.
Peng Yue could hear Lu Bu's loud shout clearly.
He was caught off guard by his whereabouts being discovered, and was startled, which made him run even more decisively.
He knew that in a one-on-one fight, he was not only no match for Xiang Ji, but he was probably not even a match for the powerful Lu Bu.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Peng Yue knew very well that as long as he could save his life in this dangerous pass, he could make a comeback someday.
He rode away without hesitation, not caring about his trusted followers.
Although the fine horses he rides are far inferior to the divine horses such as the Black Horse and the Jade Lion, they are still quite rare, and are much faster than the mounts of his trusted men.
He originally thought that if the confidant's horse was a little slower, it would be able to block him for a while...
Little did he know that the ferocious killer covered in blood had been biting him tightly from beginning to end.
The jade lion ran wildly on all fours, and the bright red blood that had not yet dried was pulled by the wind into long and thin trails across its fur, which was shocking to the eye.
Although the cavalry general Lu Bu on it was also covered in the blood of the enemies, his tiger eyes were sparkling, his bloodstained white and handsome face looked a little ferocious due to excitement, and his whole body was filled with a breathtaking murderous intent.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Peng Yue, who was being rapidly closed in by the galloping jade lion and was getting closer and closer...
In a flash, he calculated the distance.
"Surrender your life to me!!!"
Lu Bu roared like thunder, and his solid abdominal muscles trembled slightly due to the sudden force. The next moment, he swung his long arm fiercely, and actually used the Fang Tian Huaji that he had been holding tightly in his hand as a hand halberd!
The heavy halberd flew out, reflecting the light of the sky, and quickly broke through the air under the shocked gaze of everyone.
Peng Yue, who was concentrating on riding his horse to escape, had no idea what was happening behind him.
Amid the sound of swords clattering and horses neighing, the sound of breaking air, although loud, was still not enough to make him realize that his death was imminent.
The last moment he was running forward with his mind blank, the next moment he suddenly felt an unprecedented sharp pain in his neck...
Peng Yue's back was toward Lu Bu's neck, and in an instant he was easily cut in half by the powerful Fang Tian Huaji.
Blood gushed out into the sky and instantly rolled to the ground. Peng Yue's bloody face was covered with sand and dust, and his lifeless eyes were completely fixed on the bloody last scene.
