Because Zhang Jide's soldiers responded hastily, and even the armor on their bodies was extremely messy. The soldiers only held a weapon in their hands and did not even wear a shield.

Seeing this, Lu Bu stopped the cavalry preparing to charge and directly shot within range.

In this case, Zhang Jide's infantry was undoubtedly a living target and did not need to charge at all.

After all, when the charge is over, we have to fight against each other. Although the cavalry has a natural advantage, there will inevitably be casualties.

But shooting from a distance is enough, just a bow and archery is enough, and there will be no casualties at all.

I believe that in a few rounds, Zhang Jide's team will collapse.

Sure enough, after three rounds, Zhang Jide had thousands of casualties and suffered 5,000 infantry soldiers.

The casualties account for one-quarter of the total.

Under this circumstance, Zhang Jide's team was on the verge of collapse.

In fact, on the battlefield, if you can fight to the end, only one soldier and one soldier are left, and there are very few cases.

The general team has two-fifths of casualties, and this team is basically about to collapse.

Unless it is a well-trained army or an ordinary team, it is difficult to avoid this.

Although Zhang Jide's army has not yet reached so many casualties, the current situation is also extremely bad.

Because they can only defend passively now and cannot reach the opponent at all.

If this continues, there is no need to be too much. I guess the opponent's cavalry will be defeated if there is another round of projectiles or two rounds.

Zhang Ji was also well aware of this, so he made up his mind and led the soldiers to charge towards Lu Bu's cavalry.

It’s not that Zhang Ji is so brave that he is not afraid of death, but that Zhang Ji is really aware of the nature of the team he leads.

If he didn't stand in front and charge, no one would sacrifice his life to charge!

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu sneered, drew out his bow and arrow, aimed at Zhang Ji, and shot out a sudden arrow.

The arrows cut through the void like a meteor, making a shrill sound, and headed straight for Zhang Jide's heart.

The next moment, the arrow hit Zhang Ji's heart, and the heart protection mirror shattered in response to the sound. The remaining force of the arrow penetrated Zhang Ji's heart, and Zhang Ji fell backwards.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu immediately shouted: "Zhang Ji is dead! Put down his weapons, surrender and not kill him!"

Immediately afterwards, the five thousand cavalry shouted loudly at the same time: "Zhang Ji is dead! Put down your weapons, surrender and not kill!"

Originally, the morale of the infantry led by Zhang Ji had dropped to freezing point and was on the verge of collapse at any time.

At this time, when Zhang Ji died, the remaining soldiers instantly lost their fighting spirit, and they all threw down their weapons, squatted on the ground and chose to surrender.

In this battle, Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalry, and only used a few rounds of projectiles to deal with the 5,000 infantry led by Zhang Ji without any casualties. It was a complete victory.

After a brief cleanup of the battlefield, Lu Bu counted the number of surrenders, which was as large as 3,500.

However, Lu Bu was in trouble as to how to arrange the surrendered troops.

Because Lu Bu was going to lead the cavalry to rescue the people who were captured by Dong Zhuo, five thousand cavalry needed to march quickly.

Taking these 3,500 infantry soldiers will greatly reduce the speed of advancement.

Lu Bu was preparing to rescue these people around Sanmenxia because this involved Lu Bu’s next plan.

But if you take this surrendered army, it is unlikely that you can chase it in Sanmenxia.

Unless they were divided into two groups, one group of people was in charge of more than 3,500 surrendered soldiers, the other group went to rescue the people who were trapped by Dong Zhuo.

But if five thousand people divide their troops again, the number of people is a little too small.

Seeing Lu Bu in deep thought, a veteran suddenly came out of the surrendered soldiers and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Bu and said:

"Sir Wen Hou, are you worried about how to place us?"

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at the veteran with surprise and asked with interest: "I wonder what you can do?"

The veteran said in a deep voice: "Return to Lord Wen Hou, the villain guesses that Lord Wen Hou must have wanted to quickly rescue the people. If we are the surrendered soldiers, we will not be able to get up quickly, and it will be difficult to place our surrendered soldiers."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, it's true. I wonder if you have any good solutions?"

The veteran said solemnly: "Return to Lord Wen Hou, the villains are forced to rebel with Dong Zhuo. In fact, we all want to kill Dong Zhuo, this thief! The villains are unable to ask for it if they can join the people's soldiers with Lord Wen Hou!"

"If Lord Wen Hou can trust us, we can wait here for Lord Wen Hou to return in triumphantly. At that time, the young people can still do some hard work for Lord Wen Hou!"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask the veteran: "What's your name?"

The veteran replied: "Go back to Wen Hou, the villain is called Song San!"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you! Now I will accept your order as the commander of a thousand men and manage these 3,500 soldiers! You will lead them to the Sanmenxia Ferry and wait. You will take the token of Benhou. If you encounter a ship of the people's soldiers at the ferry, you can gain their trust with this token."

Song San said excitedly: "Yes! Please rest assured, Lord Wen Hou, and I will ensure that I complete the task!"

Lu Bu nodded, took a break, and led the cavalry to chase him forward.

In fact, the safest way to deal with these surrendered soldiers is to kill them all.

But Lu Bu can't do so cold-blooded.

Of course, this is why Lu Bu dared to delegate power so much when he believed that these surrendered soldiers would not pose a threat to them.

If it really threatened them, Lu Bu would never delegate power so easily.

Now for Lu Bu, the worst result is that these surrendered soldiers will escape.

For Lu Bu, who would soon have hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, these thousands of people were not taken seriously by him.

...

On the way to chase, Guan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do we have reinforcements at the Sanmenxia Ferry?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Military Advisor Jia Xu and I decided to do it, but as for whether we can come, I dare not guarantee it."

Guan Yu asked differently: "Lord, but how did the military advisor Jia Xu take so many people to Sanmenxia?"

Along the way, there were battlefields for the eighteen princes and Dong Zhuo's army.

If the military advisor Jia Xu wants to respond, at least tens of thousands of people will need to get troops, right?

With tens of thousands of people getting soldiers, how could they avoid everyone's sight? They came to the Sanmenxia Ferry without knowing it?

Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. They came from the water!"

When he came, Lu Bu only brought five thousand cavalry to him, but in fact he was just to cover up his eyes.

Lu Bu and Jia Xu secretly discussed, and Lu Bu believed that Dong Zhuo would eventually give up Luoyang and go to Chang'an.

Jia Xu made up his mind and felt that it was very likely that this situation would occur.

If that is the case, then Dong Zhuo's supplies, food and supplies must not be spared.

Therefore, at that time, Lu Bu and Jia Xu decided to come, and Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalrymen.

In secret, Gan Ning led the navy to the Sanmenxia Ferry.
