Chapter 14 Lu Bu's Attack

After entering Mayday, the weather began to gradually become hotter. Xingyang area is located on a plain. Looking around, it is already green grass and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

Cao Cao commanded the troops of his headquarters and crossed the Yellow River first, Sun Jian had been away for a day.

There is no way to do anything about it. The Yellow River is not the Yangtze River. It has a period of ice every year. The river water freezes, and most of the ships along the coast are small boats, and the water battles are wide and narrow here. It is not necessary for this coalition forces to cross the river, so they have no enough ships. They can only recruit some civilian boats to transition bit by bit, and at the same time collect civilian boats from farther places. Therefore, after Cao Cao's headquarters crossed the river, Sun Jian, who had crossed the river first, had left for a day. According to the itinerary, he might have arrived in Xingyang at this moment.

Cao Cao did not delay. After landing, he gathered his troops to rush to Xingyang, preparing to join forces with Sun Jian to break through Xingyang. Before leaving, Ye Zhao's words always made Cao Cao feel a little uncomfortable. Cao Cao asked himself that his skills might not be much worse than Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao's frequent instructions made him seem a little incompetent. Therefore, Cao Cao tried his best to show his skills in this battle, so that Ye Zhao and the people in the world would also show his ability.

After rushing for a morning, I saw that it was not far from Xingyang, but at noon, I was stopped by the scouts coming from behind.

"What happened?" Cao Cao looked at the somewhat embarrassed scout, and his heart suddenly sank, feeling something was wrong.

"Returning to the military advisor, the soldiers on the south bank of our army were attacked by Lu Bu. The leader of the alliance asked the military advisor to temporarily postpone the attack on Xingyang, hurry back and connect with the army to cross the river!" The scout said hurriedly.

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned and shouted sternly: "Come on, take this spy down for me!"

"Here!" Two wolves and tigers rushed forward without saying a word, dragged the scout down from the horse, and fell to the ground.

"The military advisor is wronged, and his humble position is definitely not a spy!" The scout changed his face, struggled to raise his head, and wailed at Cao Cao.

"I still want to hide it from me. When I left this morning, the coalition forces were fine. How long has it been? If Lu Bu came, how could we not meet?" Cao Cao shouted.

"How do you know about the humble position?" the scout cried out injustice.

Cao Cao stared at the scout for a while, frowned and waved his hand to signal the guard to let him go, "What happened? Let me tell you in detail."

"Here!" The scout quickly told Cao Cao everything that had happened before.

The matter has to start with Lu Bu's troops leaving Hulao Pass. According to Li Ru's intention, if Lu Bu leaves Hulao Pass, he should go straight to Xingyang, or cooperate with the Xingyang defenders or wait for an opportunity to attack.

"Wenhou, this road is not the way to Xingyang!" After leaving Hulao Pass, someone found that something was wrong. They were not going to Xingyang, but to Ao Cang, which was where the coalition army was located. They were just a few people, didn't they hit the stone with eggs?

"Do you remember how long it took us to cross the river when we came to the Central Plains?" Lu Bu did not answer, but asked back.

"It's about three days. It's not easy for horses to cross the river, so it took some more time." General Cao Xing recalled.

"The Guandong rats are known to have a million troops. Even if they collect more ships, how can they count them all for a few days?" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with excitement, "I will make great achievements for the first time on the war, so that those people in Luoyang can see the courage of the flying general!"

Lu Bu was filled with anger. When he was under Ding Yuan's command, he had military power, but he was not valued by Ding Yuan. He was treated harshly everywhere, and he didn't even have a serious official position, but he just became the chief clerk of Ding Yuan.

Now he has joined Dong Zhuo's command, and he has been valued. The former general and Wen Hou have a high status. If he only talks about official titles, he can be the first person under Dong Zhuo's command, but he has not made any contributions. In the Xiliang army, many people secretly gossiped about Lu Buxu's reputation, and his merits are not enough to compete with Li Jue, Guo Si, Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji, and Hua Xiong under Dong Zhuo's command.

Lu Bu was so arrogant. He was defeated by Ye Zhao before, but Ye Zhao was a person with real abilities. After seeing Ye Zhao's ability, although Lu Bu was dissatisfied, he also accepted it. However, a group of incompetent people said some sarcastic words behind him only by relying on their qualifications. How could Lu Bu bear it? It was just that he was a colleague, and Lu Bu couldn't just carry Fang Tian Huaji to find trouble. This breath could only be kept in his heart.

In addition, he also realized that not only the Western Liang army, but also the ministers in the court did not have the attitude towards him as much as they had before to Ye Zhao.

Logically speaking, Lu Bu is now a Marquis of Wen, and his title is higher than Ye Zhao. However, in front of those officials in the court, Lu Bu could not feel the feeling of Ye Zhao's spirit in the past, but instead felt a sense of arrogance that he was restrained everywhere but could not exert force.

The reason is that Lu Bu lost to Ye Zhao several times before, which made people look down upon. Ye Zhao was no longer welcome. His merits were real and his prestige was accumulated through repeated victory. Even if the officials in the court could not stand Ye Zhao, they had to have enough awe in front of Ye Zhao. Moreover, Ye Zhao's mouth would not be suppressed by the cold violence of the officials. He had never asked for any advantage in the previous few confrontations. Therefore, no matter how the officials in the court felt about Ye Zhao, awe came naturally. Therefore, even if Ye Zhao was isolated, he could still be free and calm among the officials.

As for Lu Bu, he was defeated by Ye Zhao several times before, only the Bingzhou Army would listen to him. Others such as Yulin, the Northern Army and even the Western Liang Army did not take him seriously. As for the officials in the court, they were not attracted by others with merits and courage. Moreover, he, the Marquis of Wen, was a little bit humble, and he was forcibly promoted to Marquis of Wen by Dong Zhuo, so there were naturally not many people who bought it.

He held his breath in his heart. How could Lu Bu, who wanted to make unparalleled achievements, just listen to Li Ru's plan, just beat Sun Jian and Cao Cao, and do the big votes, and beat the princes of Guandong so hard that they dare not cross the river. So after thinking about this, he did not discuss with Li Ru and others, and decided to take action first and then report.

As for the tiger in Jiangdong, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously at all. Even a real tiger had to lie down in front of him, Lu Bu.

On the side of the princes of Guandong, after Cao Cao crossed the river, Kong Yichang was the first to cross the river. It was Kong Yichang's unlucky. Originally, the soldiers crossed the river first. As the lord, he had to cross the river at the end, but when he saw that Sun Jian and Cao Cao crossed the river one after another, he was also determined to follow the two generals to gain some merits, so he rushed to the other side to get some troops. When Lu Bu led the three thousand cavalry, Kong Yichang had not yet formed a military formation.

"Lu Bu? Why is he here?" Kong Yichang was not surprised to see Lu Bu. To be honest, Hua Xiong was much more famous among the princes of Kanto at this moment than Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Bu had no intention of stopping, he led his army directly to Kong Yichang's original formation, Kong Yichang was a little panicked. According to the general circumstances, when the two armies were fighting, shouldn't they confront each other first, report their names and then start fighting? But Lu Bu did not play according to common sense, and went up without saying a word, and went directly to fight. The three thousand cavalry, like a torrent, pressed towards Kong Yichang's army with the momentum of destruction.

The soldiers in the front row pressed their bodies low, and cold spears formed a terrifying forest of death.

"Stop! Stop them!" It was not until this time that Kong Yichang realized that Lu Bu had no intention of stopping, and waved his arms in panic and screamed.

"Boom~"

After a brief charge, the three thousand Bingzhou cavalry hit Kong Yichang's somewhat chaotic military formation fiercely. With just a rush, Kong Yichang's newly gathered troops were smashed to pieces.

Lu Bu slashed the square sky halberd, slashing left and right. Wherever he passed, there was no enemy that could be combined. It was like a sharp dagger that stabbed into the vital points of Kong Yichang's army.

The killing aura also stimulated the wildness of the Red Rabbit Horse. Its neighed and hit the ground, sweeping across the world like a ball of flames. Wherever it passed, corpses were everywhere. Is Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Ji matched the smart speed? The soldiers behind him were also inexplicably excited under Lu Bu's almost called violent attack method. They followed Lu Bu's pace tightly. Wherever he passed, it was like a strong wind passing by, sweeping away the lives of countless Yuzhou soldiers. Although the number of soldiers in Yuzhou was large, they were killed by Lu Bu and ran away with three thousand cavalry.

Seeing that the rush had been exhausted and the morale of Kong Yi's army had almost collapsed, Lu Bu roared and led his cavalry to break out of the Yuzhou army with a diagonal approach. After rushing a hundred steps away, he began to gather again.

In the rear, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian led a team of troops. With the continuous advancement of Lu Bu's main force, the two led the cavalry to continue to wander, forming support for Lu Bu at any time, and they could also realize that Lu Bu was besieged, but at the moment, this formation seemed to be no longer needed.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Seeing that his soldiers were killed and were defeated, they could not exert their numerical advantage at all, but were in and out by the opponent, killing them in and out in shape. Kong Yichang didn't know that a Lu Bu would be so fierce. He was already scared by Lu Bu and was so scared that he quickly turned his horse's head and headed towards the river bank, and shouted loudly: "Save me by Ye Hou!"

When a person declares that he is threatened, the first name he instinctively shouts must be in his opinion. At this moment, Ye Zhao is probably the only one who can save him.

His voice became a little louder, and soon attracted Lu Bu's attention.

"I want to leave!" Looking at Kong Yichang's figure heading towards the ferry in a mess, Lu Bu sneered, and was not in a hurry. He hung Fang Tian's painting halberd on the horse's back, took off his strong bow, looked at Kong Yichang's direction, raised his hand and had an arrow.

"Puff~"
