Chapter 110 Five hundred vs eight thousand
"General, find the enemy's road blocking ahead!"
Wu Ping, the official road, ran back, but before he could dismount, he bowed to Lu Bu on the back of the horse.
"Can you know who is the soldiers?" Lu Bu was not surprised. He came to escort Xu Zhuangjia Xiao, and his real purpose was to lead Ji Ling to send troops.
"Return to the general, look at the banner, it should be Ji Ling's troops, with nearly 10,000 people!"
"Nearly ten thousand?" Lu Bu frowned slightly. He only had five hundred cavalry in his hands. No matter how brave Lu Bu was good at fighting, he didn't think he could defeat the ten thousand army formation with 500 people. Ji Ling's troops were not a mob.
"Wen Hou, this..." The secret guard commander frowned. If it were just Lu Bu's five hundred cavalry, even if it could not be defeated, it would be fine to run. But now there are still many young and old people in the Xu family here, so they can't run at all.
Lu Bu took a deep breath and waved his hand and said, "You should take the Xu family to find a secret place to take refuge, and I'll go and meet Ji Ling for a while!"
"Here!" The secret guard commander agreed and went to tell Xu Taigong about this matter.
"Let Mr. Wen do not have to think about us. If the situation is not good, please ask Mr. Wen to leave first. Don't lose the lives of the soldiers because of us." Mr. Xu sighed, but he did not expect that the journey would be bumpy. Xu Zhuang was also very well-known and attracted tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress him.
At this moment, the secret guards led the men of Xu Zhuang to separate from Lu Bu and others, heading towards a nearby forest, while Lu Bu and five hundred cavalrymen faced Ji Ling's army.
From afar, you can see an army lined up in the wilderness, with thousands of people connected together and gathered into an unspeakable power. This power alone was enough to make ordinary soldiers retreat. However, Lu Bu was obviously not an ordinary general, and the five hundred cavalry behind him were definitely not a thumping soldiers. Even when facing such a formation in Yuan Jun, he did not feel any timid. He followed Lu Bu and came to a place outside the land of Ji Ling's army with one arrow, lined up in a row.
Each of the five hundred cavalry had a scorching fighting spirit in his eyes. The momentum emitted by the five hundred people was no less than Ji Ling's eight thousand soldiers.
Looking at Lu Bu in front of him and the 500 knights behind him, Ji Ling's eyes flashed with a seriousness. Although there were only 500 people around Lu Bu, he did not dare to underestimate him at all. Not to mention that Lu Bu's reputation was beyond, the power of these 500 cavalry alone showed, even if it was a head-on collision, there was absolutely no unit under Yuan Shu who was the opponent of this team.
"Ji Ling, finally dare to come out?" Lu Bu came to the formation of the two armies, looked at Ji Ling, and sneered.
"Hmph!" Ji Ling groaned and said coldly: "Lu Bu, you were considered a general under your lord's command in the past. Your lord treats you very well, so why did you betray your lord??"
"Yuan Shu? Are you treating me well?" Lu Bu seemed to hear the funnyest joke in the world and sneered: "Ji Ling, you are also a general. Where did you learn the ability to speak vernacularly with your eyes open? I made countless contributions to Yuan Shu back then, but I was repeatedly squeezed. Where did you not lose?"
Ji Ling said coldly: "You came to the end of your life, and the lord was willing to take you in. Isn't it a kindness?"
"Ha~" Lu Bu sneered: "After saying this, I want to thank him! "It's useless to say more. Since you dare to come out today, don't go back alive, come and die!"
Ji Ling's breathing stagnated. Where did Lu Bu get the confidence? There were eight thousand soldiers behind him. He only brought five hundred cavalrymen and dared to say that he would take his life. It was a joke.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Lu Bu going to get the bow. Ji Ling suddenly felt a thrust in his heart. He didn't care about speaking. His body suddenly sank, his head lowered, and he hid behind the horse.
"Hiss~"
Amid the harsh sound of breaking through the air, the cold Jianpu tear the air and passed over Ji Ling's head. The strong wind blew the horse's mane and the horse's back danced. The war horse made a terrifying neigh, and he lay behind the horse without caring about his demeanor, turned his head and retreated into the formation.
"Kill!" Lu Bu failed to hit a arrow, and saw Ji Ling heading into the formation, he sneered, hung the eagle bow on the back of the horse, knocked his legs against the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse began to charge. Fang Tian's painting halberd had already reached his hand. Behind him, five hundred cavalrymen charged against Ji Ling's army without hesitation.
"Shoot! Shoot!" Ji Ling's horse kept running into the formation, and heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and kept shouting angrily from his mouth.
The row of archers who had already been in front of the formation immediately bent their bows and arrows. However, before they could shoot the arrows, they suddenly felt a sudden lit up in front of them. Unable to wait for their reaction, the rapidly rotating Fangtian Huaji had already hit the crowd. Wherever they passed, they died one after another, and they died when they touched it. Like a meat grinder, the broken limbs and arms flew all over the sky, and ten feet of space became a hell on earth. The archers who had originally formed a formation had no formation at all. They squeezed over to both sides in a mess, squeezed the originally tight formation into chaos. The clusters of arrows shot out scattered and did not cause any damage to Lu Bu and his five hundred soldiers.
This technique of flying halberd was gradually realized after Lu Bu killed Yuwendu on the grassland. Its lethality was amazing, especially when the crowds were dense. It was even more miraculous. In this round, at least thirty or forty people were killed, which was even more devastating to morale.
"Open!" A general of Yuan army roared angrily and exhaled, slashed hard on Fang Tian's painting halberd with a fierce sword.
Fang Tian's painting halberd was twisted back, and was grabbed by Lu Bu who had already rushed in front of him. He dragged it casually and cut the general into two pieces. In addition, two soldiers who had no time to dodge were also killed.
"Kill me!" Seeing that the military formation was broken, Lu Bu shouted loudly and joined the cavalry that rushed over. He didn't go deeper. He just picked up Ji Ling's archer troops and killed him fiercely.
Ji Ling had returned to the central army at this moment. Seeing that Lu Bu was so aggressive to kill his archers, he didn't know Lu Bu's plan. He was preparing to strangle the archer who posed the greatest threat to the cavalry. He immediately shouted: "Archer retreats! Sword and shield hands, spearmen come forward!"
As Ji Ling's order was issued, the archers in the front row quickly retreated. At the same time, rows of swords, shields and spearmen joined forces and began to clamor for Lu Bu's troops to surround him. Once they were surrounded by these people, archers in the rear kept firing arrows, and swords, shields and spearmen in the front row blocked the cavalry, and Lu Bu could only be left to be surrounded and killed.
Lu Bu naturally knew the threat. After killing hard, he didn't wait for the swords, shields and spearmen to siege and roar, and led five hundred cavalry out of the enemy formation with a long roar, but did not go far. He came to a place less than a single arrow in front of Ji Ling's army, and suddenly turned around and shot at the pursuit soldiers behind him.
The archer had been withdrawn by Ji Ling, and it was impossible to transfer back for a moment. Without the suppression of the archers, the swords, shields and spearmen who rushed up were instantly overturned by people shot by arrows. The crowds of the other side were dense, and Lu Bu and others did not need to aim at it. Just look at the archer in a rough direction and there was little failure. Ji Ling quickly ordered the archer to press forward. After Lu Bu shot an arrow, he had already brought his men and horses to retreat. As long as the archer dared to advance, he would take his men and horses back and kill him again.
Ji Ling naturally saw the trick. Seeing that the archers were still chasing, he quickly ordered the archers to retreat so as not to give Lu Bu a chance to defeat them.
When Lu Bu saw the other archer retreating, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It's a pity that he had few soldiers and horses, so don't want too many, but with two thousand cavalry in hand, Ji Ling didn't have the opportunity to regroup. Just the previous round of rushing, he could kill Ji Ling's army and horses against each other.
On the other hand, Ji Ling saw Lu Bu leaving the range of the bow and arrow, quickly closed the troops and formed a formation again, counted it a little, and blood dripped in his heart. In this round of rush, nearly a thousand elite soldiers were lost, most of them were archers who were not too late to retreat. He looked in the direction of Lu Bu, and was secretly shocked in his heart that Lu Bu's terrifying lethality. In order to prevent Lu Bu from doing another move, Ji Ling quickly adjusted the military formation. Two rows of sword and shield hands were in front and archers were behind. Although he lost the range, he had a sword and shield hands in front. At least the effect of Lu Bu's previous move would be greatly reduced.
Looking at the formation re-formed by Ji Ling, Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer, thinking that this would block him?
"Prepare to throw a gun!" With a loud shout, the five hundred soldiers behind him took off one from the horse's back. The gun was only more than five feet long. The gun head was made of fine iron. The gun body weighed eight kilograms, but the range was only more than fifty steps.
"Let's go!" With a loud shout, Lu Bu charged towards Yuan's army again, but he still had Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand.
Seeing this, Ji Ling tightened his heart and shouted sternly: "Archer, shoot the arrow!"
"Swish~"
A row of arrows flew into the air and launched an attack on the cavalry that had already rushed into the range of shooting.
"Puff~"
Several soldiers were caught in the arrow, but the other soldiers were not shaken at all. Until they approached fifty steps, with Lu Bu shouting loudly, the knight behind him threw the gun in his hand at the same time.
"Buzz~"
More than 400 guns were thrown, but they landed quite densely on the shield formation in front.
The sword and shield hand quickly raised the shield to block it.
"Bang bang bang~"
The sharp spear easily penetrated the wooden shield, and the soldiers below were directly penetrated by the spear that broke the shield, and a large area fell in an instant.
"Wait~"
Seeing that the tight shield formation was torn a gap, Lu Bu, who was about to rush to the front of the formation, threw Fang Tian Hua Ji out again.
"Buzz buzz ~"
