You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 229 My great axe is itching for a fight.
The next day.

Luofengpo.

Lü Bu led his army and stood facing off against the Northern Di army.

Looking at the densely packed, seemingly endless Northern Di army, Jia Xu's expression turned somewhat solemn. "General, the Northern Di army appears to be twice the size of ours, exceeding our previous expectations."

"The upcoming battle against the Northern Barbarians will probably not be easy for us."

"Last night, the Eastern Depot sent word that the commander of the Northern Di army this time is the Northern Di King."

"When the great battle comes, General, you can seize the opportunity to strike directly at the center of the army."

Jia Xu looked at the Northern Di army opposite him and made a suggestion.

Jia Xu was aware of Lü Bu's bravery.

With Lü Bu's fighting prowess, almost no one could stop him.

If Lü Bu, leading the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, can successfully penetrate the central army of the Northern Di and capture the Northern Di king, then the Northern Di army of hundreds of thousands can be defeated immediately.

Lu Bu nodded upon hearing Jia Xu's words.

Lü Bu understood Jia Xu's meaning.

Given the vast disparity in troop strength between the two sides, the only way to achieve victory is to find a different approach and launch a surprise attack.

However, compared to the solemn expressions of Jia Xu and Gao Shun, Lü Bu's face was quite calm.

No matter how many troops the enemy had, they could not stop Lu Bu's halberd.

"Pan Feng".

"Go to war."

Duels in battle are the best way to boost the morale of an army and an indispensable part of large-scale warfare.

Lü Bu naturally understood this principle as well.

Since their troop strength is vastly different, they can only make up for it with morale.

"As ordered."

Pan Feng, carrying a large axe, spurred his horse forward.

"You barbarian traitors, you have invaded the borders of my Great Zhou and provoked the majesty of my Great Zhou. You deserve to die a thousand deaths."

"Today, our Great Zhou has dispatched a righteous army to exterminate the foreign races."

“I am Pan Feng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my great axe has long been thirsty for blood.”

"Foreign traitor, come and meet your death!"

Pan Feng reined in his horse and stopped between the two armies, shouting loudly at the Northern Di army.

"Pan Feng, stop being so arrogant. I'll teach you a lesson."

A Northern Di general charged out from the army.

Wielding his broadsword, he charged straight at Pan Feng at full speed.

Pan Feng's troops remained motionless in the face of the charging Northern Di generals.

As the Northern Di generals charged closer, Pan Feng flipped his right hand, and his large axe shot out.

"Pfft."

A spurt of blood gushed out.

The Northern Di general who charged forward fell to the ground along with his horse, and was cleaved in two by Pan Feng's axe.

“These mere foreign thieves are no match for us.”

"Which other barbarian traitor comes to meet his death?"

Pan Feng didn't even glance at the Northern Di general who had been cleaved in two by his axe and lay to the side, and continued to challenge the Northern Di army.

"General Pan, you are mighty."

"General Pan, you are mighty."

……

Upon seeing the Northern Di general charge out, Pan Feng slashed him and his horse with an axe in a single exchange, and the entire 200,000-strong army of the Great Zhou roared in unison.

Morale soared.

On the other hand, the morale of the Northern Di was somewhat low.

The Northern Di King glanced at the generals around him with a somewhat unpleasant expression. "Our Northern Di are known as the Northern Wolves of the Pass, dominating the frontier. How can we allow a mere junior general from the Great Zhou to act so arrogantly?"

"Which warrior of my Northern Di is willing to capture this general of the Great Zhou for me?"

The Northern Di King asked sternly.

This is crucial to the morale of his Northern Di army.

A mere general whom the Great Zhou had never heard of killed one of his Northern Di generals in a single encounter.

If the Northern Di don't turn the tide, it will inevitably affect the morale of their army.

"Your Majesty, this humble general has a wish."

"To capture this general of the Great Zhou for the King, cut off his head, and display the might of our Northern Di."

A burly general immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said.

"it is good."

"Mo Tie, cut off the head of this general of the Great Zhou for me, and I will reward you handsomely."

Looking at this imposing general, the Northern Di King nodded in satisfaction.

This imposing general was one of the ten commanders of the Northern Di, and his strength was among the best in the entire Northern Di.

With Mo Tie, one of the ten commanders, involved, the Northern Di King believed that taking down the challenging general from the Great Zhou would be a piece of cake.

"Follow the order."

This valiant Northern Di general charged out on horseback and attacked Pan Feng.

"You traitorous general of the Great Zhou, cease your arrogance!"

"You dare kill my Northern Di general? You'd better pay with your life!"

One of the ten commanders of the Northern Barbarians rushed in front of Pan Feng in the blink of an eye and began to fight him with his sword.

Meanwhile, Pan Feng's great axe was already itching for action, and with a fierce gust of wind, it cleaved through Motie.

And so the two of them began to fight back and forth on horseback.

It must be said that this one of the ten commanders of the Northern Di was indeed quite capable.

Although Pan Feng cannot be compared with those top-tier talents, he is still a figure who has left his mark, and his strength can be considered among the top ranks.

This one of the ten commanders of the Northern Barbarians was able to fight Pan Feng back and forth.

This is enough to prove that this one of the ten commanders of the Northern Barbarians was quite capable.

After a dozen or so moves.

Pan Feng struck one of the ten commanders of the Northern Di with his axe, knocking him off his horse.

Before one of the ten commanders of the Northern Barbarians could react, Pan Feng bent down and swept his axe across the area.

"puff."

A bloody human head flew up and rolled to the side.

"General Pan, you are mighty."

"General Pan, you are mighty."

This scene once again ignited the cheers of the 200,000-strong army of the Great Zhou.

Morale was soaring.

"Hahaha, those Northern barbarian thieves are nothing special."

Pan Feng casually slung the large axe over his shoulder and laughed unrestrainedly at the Northern Di army.

"Damn it, damn it."

Seeing Pan Feng's arrogant demeanor, the Northern Di King's face turned extremely ugly.

"By order of the King, launch a full-scale attack immediately."

"To annihilate the Great Zhou army."

The Northern Di King immediately gave the order.

It wasn't that the Northern Di King was furious and launched a military campaign, but rather that he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

It wasn't that there weren't any skilled generals among the Northern Barbarians who could kill Pan Feng, but rather that the Northern Barbarian king knew that in a duel between generals, the Northern Barbarians wouldn't gain the upper hand.

Because the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Lü Bu, a half-step Celestial, and Lü Bu has not yet made a move.

Continuing to fight like this will only demoralize the Northern Di army.

Therefore, the King of the Northern Di wanted to take advantage of the fact that the morale of the Northern Di army had not yet declined and directly attack the army of the Great Zhou.

Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is not the way of the wise.

Military strength was the key to the Northern Di's advantage.

"By order of the King, launch a full-scale attack."

"To annihilate the Great Zhou army."

With a command from the Northern Di King, the bugle call to attack sounded.

Hundreds of thousands of Northern Di troops charged forward on horseback.

"attack."

Meanwhile, Lü Bu also heard the bugle call of the Northern Di attack. Without saying a word, Lü Bu pointed his halberd and rode out first.

Three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry followed closely behind.

"kill."

Generals Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, and others led their armies to meet the Northern Di cavalry.

In an instant, the two armies clashed.

The sounds of weapons clashing, fighting, and screams were all present.

The entire Luofengpo was filled with shouts of battle.

Corpses kept falling.

Limbs and severed bodies kept flying everywhere.

Fresh blood was constantly splattering everywhere.

Both the Northern Di army and the soldiers of the Great Zhou were entangled in this meat grinder of a battlefield.

Facing an army twice the size of the Northern Di, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were not afraid; on the contrary, their morale was soaring.

Especially under the leadership of Gao Shun and Pan Feng, the Northern Di army had little chance of withstanding their onslaught.

In a single exchange, several Northern Di generals were killed by Gao Shun and Pan Feng.

Despite having superior numbers, the Northern Di army is not currently gaining the upper hand in the battle.

Every time Lü Bu swung his halberd, it created a cloud of blood mist.

When he went all out, Lü Bu was like a demon god crawling out of hell, making the Northern Di tribes somewhat terrified.

Lu Bu brandished his halberd, not forgetting Jia Xu's advice.

Lü Bu led his Bingzhou wolf cavalry, weaving through the Northern Di army and charging towards the central army at the rear.

……

The King of the Northern Barbarians surveyed the battlefield, watching Lü Bu charge towards him, and his eyes flickered.

"Order the army to intercept Lü Bu."

"At all costs, surround and kill Lü Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry."

The King of the Northern Barbarians had already seen through Lü Bu's intentions and directly gave the order.

With hundreds of thousands of Northern Di troops present, it wouldn't be easy for Lü Bu to break through and deal with this Northern Di king.

The King of the Northern Barbarians refused to believe that such a large army could not stop Lü Bu and his three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

Even if it takes the lives of the entire Northern Di army, the Northern Di king will still overwhelm Lü Bu.

The bugle sounded again.

However, the sound of the attack was somewhat different from the previous one.

Lu Bu, leading the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, was charging towards the central army of the Northern Di King as if it were empty land, when suddenly a horn sounded.

Then, the surrounding Northern Di tribesmen, as if possessed, charged at him relentlessly, one after another.

"Whoever stops me will die."

The halberd in Lü Bu's hand was stained red with blood.

With a single strike, blood rained down within a radius of several hundred meters.

No matter how many times the Northern Di tribes tried to intercept Lü Bu, they all ended up as a rain of blood, failing to stop him.

soon.

Lü Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry out of the battlefield of the Northern Di army and charged toward the central army behind the Northern Di army.

"not good."

"Quickly, send out the elite cavalry of the Northern Barbarians to surround and kill Lü Bu."

The moment Lü Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry out of the battlefield of the Northern Di army, the Northern Di king's expression changed.

The Northern Di King immediately ordered his 50,000-strong central army to attack.

These 50,000 central troops were the most elite army of the Northern Di, and also the elite knights of the Northern Di royal family.

The ten commanders of the Northern Barbarians were the generals who led the elite cavalry of the Northern Barbarians.

At the command of the King of the Northern Barbarians, the nine commanders of the Northern Barbarians led 50,000 elite cavalry out to meet Lü Bu, who was charging towards them.

"The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry annihilated the barbarian tribes."

Faced with the imposing and charging Northern Di elite cavalry, Lü Bu's expression also became serious.

Lu Bu was proud, but he was never arrogant.

Lu Bu could sense the formidable strength of the Northern Di elite cavalry charging towards him.

Although they are not as good as the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and are far inferior to them, they are still among the elite forces.

Most importantly, these Northern Di elite cavalrymen are quite numerous.

Lu Bu, however, was not afraid. With his halberd wielded, he regarded the Northern Barbarians as mere dogs.

However, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind Lü Bu would suffer heavy casualties against so many elite Northern Di cavalry.

Therefore, Lü Bu immediately shouted, and the military spirit of the Greedy Wolf instantly emerged.

At that moment, the cavalry of the two sides clashed fiercely.

With the blessing of the Greedy Wolf Army Spirit, the strength of the three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry more than doubled.

Even when facing tens of thousands of elite Northern Di cavalry, it was as if they were in an empty land.

"Extinction Cross".

Lu Bu leaped into the air and unleashed his ultimate attack.

With a single halberd strike.

Wherever the golden light of the cross passed, both men and horses perished.

The Northern Di elite cavalry that blocked their way all perished within a kilometer.

Even the remaining nine commanders of the Northern Di all died under Lü Bu's Extinction Cross Halberd.

……

"hiss."

The Northern Di King, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

"Is that human being?"

"How could Lu Bu's strength be so terrifying?"

"This has definitely surpassed the power of a half-step Celestial Being."

The Northern Di King's pupils constricted involuntarily.

The Northern Di King had seen the strength of a half-step Celestial Being before, but none were as terrifying as Lü Bu.

The King of the Northern Barbarians never expected that Lü Bu's strength had become so formidable.

Even with a large army, it's not certain that they could surround and kill Lü Bu.

"Grand Preceptor, act quickly! Coordinate with the elite cavalry to surround and kill Lü Bu."

"Otherwise, our Northern Barbarians will be in grave danger."

The Northern Di King spoke urgently to the newly appointed Grand Preceptor beside him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the new Grand Preceptor of the Northern Barbarians soared into the sky and rushed forward.

Lu Bu swung his halberd once more, and another large number of the Northern Di elite cavalry fell.

Just then, Lü Bu sensed something, looked up, and saw a massive aura rushing towards him.

Half-step Celestial Being?

A cold smile appeared on Lu Bu's lips.

"No wonder the Northern Barbarians dared to invade the Great Zhou, and even dared to boast that they wanted to unite with the other three foreign tribes to hunt in the Central Plains."

"So it turns out that the Northern Barbarians have a second half-step Celestial Realm expert."

Now, Lü Bu understood.

Previously, when the four foreign tribes jointly invaded the Great Zhou, Lu Bu and the others thought it was caused by the remnants of the Fan and Yuan families.

But now it seems that's not the case.

The remnants of the Fan and Yuan families probably only served as a trigger.

The real reason is that someone from the alien race has broken through to the half-step Celestial Realm, which emboldened these alien races.

This is also what gave them the courage to send out a half-step Celestial Being and break the long-standing agreement.

Previously, each of the four alien races had one half-step Celestial Being, while the Great Zhou had nine.

Therefore, the foreign tribes dared not act rashly.

Now that the Northern Barbarians have produced a second half-step Celestial Being, it is estimated that the other three alien races also have members who have broken through to the second half-step Celestial Being level.

This is the fundamental reason why foreign tribes dared to invade the Great Zhou and break the long-standing agreement.

Lu Bu could sense that the half-step Celestial being rushing towards him had only recently broken through to the Celestial Realm.

"Hmph, a newly ascended half-step Celestial Realm cultivator dares to make a move? He's courting death."

Lu Bu gave a cold snort, his eyes gleaming.
