You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 230 Where Did the Northern Di King Escape To?
Beyond the Great Wall.

Luofengpo.

The Great Zhou army and the Northern Di tribes were engaged in fierce fighting.

Lü Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry against the elite cavalry of the Northern Di royal court.

Under the might of Lü Bu's Extinction Cross Halberd, a large number of the Northern Di elite cavalry were wiped out.

Even the nine commanders of the Northern Di elite cavalry were killed by Lü Bu's halberd.

Lu Bu raised his head and looked at the half-step celestial being rushing towards him, his eyes indifferent.

Let alone a half-step Celestial who has only recently broken through, even a veteran half-step Celestial would be nothing but a chicken or a dog in front of Lu Bu.

The Northern Barbarian's first half-step Celestial Master, the Imperial Advisor, had already died at Lü Bu's hands. Therefore, Lü Bu did not recommend sending the Northern Barbarian's second half-step Celestial Master to hell immediately as well.

Lu Bu swung his halberd once more.

The golden light of the cross-shaped halberd, carrying unparalleled power, struck directly at the approaching half-step Celestial.

"not good."

The newly appointed Grand Preceptor of the Northern Barbarians changed his expression and immediately sensed a terrifying crisis approaching.

Unfortunately, the golden light of the cross halberd was too fast, and the Northern Di national teacher couldn't dodge it in time.

The newly appointed Northern Di national advisor could only do his best to resist.

"Puch."

A golden light flashed by.

The Northern Di national teacher's eyes were filled with terror. His body remained suspended in the air, slowly disintegrating into a shower of blood.

This scene filled the Northern Di elite cavalry with fear.

The figure rushing over was none other than their newly appointed Grand Tutor of the Northern Barbarians.

He was also a powerful being who had reached the half-step Celestial Realm.

They held a prestigious position and possessed formidable strength.

They never expected that the Grand Preceptor, who held a prestigious position and possessed great power in their eyes, would be killed by this Zhou man with a single halberd strike.

Meanwhile, this scene was also witnessed by the Northern Di King in the distance.

"how is this possible?"

"How can this be?"

"How could Lü Bu be so terrifying? Even the Imperial Advisor couldn't withstand a single blow from him and was killed in one strike."

The Northern Di King's expression changed drastically as he spoke.

Both being at the half-step Celestial level, even if Lü Bu is powerful and the Imperial Advisor is no match for him, in the eyes of the Northern Di King, the Imperial Advisor should have no problem stopping Lü Bu in a short time.

With the support of a large army, holding off Lü Bu should not be a problem.

But the result greatly surprised the King of the Northern Di.

Not only did he fail to stop Lü Bu, the Imperial Advisor was also killed by Lü Bu in a single blow.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is far too powerful. He even killed the Imperial Advisor. Our army probably can't stop him."

"This humble general will escort Your Majesty away first!"

The commander of the guards of the Northern Di King hurriedly spoke up.

Lü Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in a charge towards this direction, clearly aiming for the Northern Di King.

Not only did the Northern Di King realize this, but his guards also noticed it.

Now that the Grand Tutor has been killed by Lü Bu in one blow, it seems that even tens of thousands of elite Northern Di cavalry will not be able to stop Lü Bu.

If Lü Bu were to charge in, the King of the Northern Di would be in danger.

Therefore, the commander of the guards around the Northern Di King had no choice but to suggest that the Northern Di King leave first.

Upon hearing the words of the guard commander, the Northern Di King's expression changed several times.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Di army. If he leaves now, it will inevitably affect the morale of the Northern Di army.

When the army is defeated, the Northern Barbarians will be completely finished.

But if he doesn't leave immediately, and Lü Bu charges in, he, the King of the Northern Barbarians, will definitely die.

Once he dies, the fate of the Northern Di army will be the same; the Northern Di will still face a grim prospect.

"This king cannot leave."

"I, the Great King, am the commander-in-chief of the army."

"If I leave now, the morale of my Northern Di army will be affected, and it may lead to a great defeat."

“If my Northern Di army is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

The King of the Northern Barbarians pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said...

He is the King of the Northern Barbarians and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Barbarian army. At this crucial juncture in the great battle, he must not leave.

"But Your Majesty..."

"There are no buts. I understand what you mean, but the Northern Di army cannot be defeated."

The guard commander was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Northern Di King.

"You will also join me in the attack. In today's battle, my Northern Di will either live or die."

The Northern Di King said no more and, with his more than a thousand elite guards, joined the battle.

Since he could neither leave nor sit there and wait to die, the Northern Di King had no choice but to do the opposite and join the battle.

Wasn't Lü Bu trying to take advantage of him, the King of the Northern Di?

Then this King of the Northern Di would enter the battlefield, go into the attacking army of the Northern Di, and see if Lü Bu would still dare to continue to target him, the King of the Northern Di.

……

After killing the half-step Celestial with a single halberd strike, Lü Bu landed back on his horse.

Lu Bu brandished his halberd and continued to lead the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in a charge forward.

Having witnessed Lü Bu's terrifying, devilish demeanor, the elite cavalry of the Northern Di were left with a chilling fear in their hearts when facing him.

Despite the relentless attacks and desperate attempts of these elite Northern Di cavalrymen to besiege Lü Bu, they ultimately failed to stop him.

In just a few minutes, Lü Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry through the encirclement of 50,000 Northern Di elite cavalry and broke out.

What Lu Bu didn't expect was that after he broke through the Northern Di elite cavalry that were blocking his way, he saw that the Northern Di king had already left his original position and entered the battlefield from the side.

"King of the Northern Barbarians, where do you think you're going?"

Lu Bu could easily see that the Northern Di King wanted to escape into the battlefield to avoid Lu Bu's sharp edge.

But how could Lü Bu possibly grant the wishes of the Northern Di king?

Lü Bu roared and led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in hot pursuit of the Northern Di King.

……

"kill."

The King of the Northern Di was no ordinary person; his strength was at the peak of the Grandmaster level, making him one of the top experts in the entire Northern Di.

After the Northern Di King led thousands of guards into the battlefield, he kept waving his scimitar.

The corpses of the Zhenbei Army and Shenwu Guard lay on the ground.

Wherever the Northern Di King and his thousands of guards went, they left behind only the corpses of the Great Zhou soldiers.

The thousands of guards following the Northern Di King were all elite fighters capable of taking on a hundred men each.

Ordinary Zhenbei Army soldiers and Shenwu Guards would instantly become victims of his blade.

soon.

The Northern Di King led thousands of guards and charged into the battlefield.

When the Northern Di army saw that their king had joined the battle, their morale soared.

This was another purpose for the Northern Di King to enter the battlefield.

The Northern Di King believed that his personal participation in the battle would not only temporarily avoid Lü Bu, but would also significantly boost the morale of the Northern Di army.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

However, the King of the Northern Di underestimated Lü Bu's persistence.

Even when the King of the Northern Barbarians entered the battlefield, despite being blocked by layers of Northern Barbarian troops, Lü Bu and his Bingzhou wolf cavalry still relentlessly pursued him.

"Protect the king and surround and kill Lü Bu."

Seeing that Lü Bu was leading the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in pursuit of the Northern Di king, the Northern Di army began to encircle Lü Bu in layers.

"Whoever stops me will die."

Lu Bu kept swinging his halberd.

Each swing of the sword brought forth clouds of blood mist and severed limbs.

At this moment, the might of the fierce tiger was fully displayed.

The Northern Di army was no match for Lü Bu, this fierce tiger. The Northern Di army's layers of encirclement were as easy to break through as a thin sheet of paper in front of Lü Bu.

In an instant.

Lü Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry through the layers of encirclement of the Northern Di army and reached the Northern Di king.

"Your Majesty, hurry and go!"

The commander of the guards beside the King of the Northern Di changed his expression when he saw Lü Bu charging towards him, and led his guards to meet him.

However, even the Northern Di army's layers of encirclement could not stop Lü Bu, let alone these mere thousand guards.

Even though these thousands of guards were all elite fighters capable of taking on a hundred men each, they were no more than ants in front of Lü Bu.

In the blink of an eye, Lü Bu had passed through the blockade of thousands of guards, leaving behind a field of corpses, and arrived in front of the King of the Northern Di.

Before the Northern Di King could react, a halberd had already pierced his chest.

Because the entire process, from the moment the commander of the guards beside the Northern Di King spoke to the moment the halberd pierced the Northern Di King's chest, happened in an instant.

Therefore, the Northern Di king had no time to react.

Only when Lü Bu's halberd pierced his chest and he felt the pain did the Northern Di King realize what was happening.

"puff."

A spurt of blood gushed out.

The Northern Di King's pupils contracted, and his face showed nothing but fear, except for a hint of disbelief.

Even a figure like the King of the Northern Barbarians was not immune to the impending death.

Lu Bu plunged his halberd into the chest of the Northern Di King, and without saying a word, he forcefully lifted the king into the air.

"Your Majesty..."

Upon seeing the Northern Di King lifted up by Lü Bu's halberd, the entire Northern Di army's expression changed, and they cried out in alarm.

The Northern Di King was the backbone of the Northern Di people and the commander-in-chief of their Northern Di army.

Now that the King of the Northern Barbarians has been killed by Lü Bu, what will happen to the Northern Barbarian army next?
"The King of the Northern Barbarians is dead. I advise you, the army of the Northern Barbarians, to surrender."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for unleashing a bloodbath."

Lu Bu raised the Northern Di King high and shouted.

……

In the distance, Jia Xu watched this scene with a smile on his lips; "The overall situation is settled, and the Northern Barbarians have been defeated."

The King of the Northern Barbarians died.

These Northern Barbarian armies will collapse without a fight.

The Northern Di were like a flock of sheep without a leader, unable to stop the Great Zhou's subsequent sweep.

Jia Xu did not make a move.

Although Jia Xu was quite capable, his cowardly and life-loving nature meant he would never personally go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

……

"The king is dead."

"The king is dead."

A sense of panic began to spread among the Northern Di army.

Both ordinary soldiers and some generals of the Northern Di became somewhat panicked.

The morale of the Northern Di army also plummeted.

"The King is dead! Avenge the King! Kill Lü Bu! Kill these people of Zhou!"

Some generals roared and continued to fight with the Zhenbei Army and the Shenwu Guard.

The death of the Northern Di king spurred some of the Northern Di army.

These provoked Northern Di troops fought recklessly against the Zhenbei Army and the Shenwu Guard.

They all adopted a suicidal fighting style.

However, the death of the Northern Di King caused panic among most of the Northern Di army, shaking their morale and spirit.

"The king is dead! Run!"

With the death of the Northern Di king, some of the Northern Di army began to flee.

Even though some generals of the Northern Di army were shouting for revenge for the Northern Di king, they still couldn't stabilize the morale of the Northern Di army.

Once the first one escapes, a second will follow.

With some of the Northern Di army fleeing, the Northern Di army, which had been locked in a fierce battle with the Zhenbei Army and the Shenwu Guard, suddenly found itself at a disadvantage.

The increasing number of Northern Di troops fleeing directly led to the complete collapse of the Northern Di army, which was still able to resist the Zhenbei Army and Shenwu Guard.

"kill."

"You foreign thief, where do you think you're going?"

Pan Feng brandished his great axe and led his army in pursuit of the Northern Di tribes.

Not only Pan Feng, but Gao Shun and Cao Xing were also leading large armies to hunt down the Northern Di tribes.

Even Lü Bu was no exception; he had long since discarded the corpse of the Northern Di king and led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to continue charging into the Northern Di army.

In a short time, the Northern Di army of hundreds of thousands was completely defeated.

……

夜晚
In the big tent.

Lü Bu sat in the main seat.

Sitting below were several generals, including Jia Xu and Gao Shun.

Apart from Lü Bu and Jia Xu, Gao Shun and the other generals all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Pan Feng, in particular, suffered the most severe injuries.

In the daytime battle, Pan Feng fought the generals and displayed great prowess, which aroused the wrath of the Northern Di.

As a result, in the ensuing battle between the two armies, Pan Feng was besieged by many of the Northern Di generals, and among them, he was the most seriously injured.

However, even with their injuries, Pan Feng and the others all had smiles on their faces.

After the daytime battle, they not only killed the Northern Di king and defeated the Northern Di army, but also annihilated a large number of Northern Di soldiers.

It can be said that the battle during the day laid the foundation for their subsequent annihilation of the Northern Barbarian tribes.

The Northern Di King is gone.

The Northern Di army also suffered heavy losses.

The Northern Barbarians can no longer cause any significant trouble.

Lu Bu glanced at the people seated below and said, "In the battle during the day, we defeated the Northern Di army and killed the Northern Di king. The Northern Di no longer have the ability to stop the army of our Great Zhou."

"The extermination of the Northern Barbarians is inevitable."

"However, a considerable number of the Northern Di army fled, and the various tribes of the Northern Di should not be underestimated."

"If they manage to communicate with each other and get together, they could cause us a lot of trouble."

"Therefore, we must advance as quickly as possible and not give them time to prepare."

Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and the others and said.

Jia Xu nodded; "That's right, we must advance quickly and not give the Northern Di any time to react. This will reduce the casualties of our Great Zhou army."

"In the daytime battle, the Northern Di King was already dead, and the Northern Di army also suffered heavy losses."

"I suggest we split our forces and launch an attack tomorrow, so we can take down the Northern Di as quickly as possible."

Jia Xu said.

Should we divide our forces and launch an attack?

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu pondered for a moment and nodded. "Then tomorrow, we will launch an attack with four armies. That way, we can be faster."

We didn't dare to divide our forces before because we were afraid that the Northern Barbarians would defeat us one by one.

Now that the Northern Di king is dead, the Northern Di army has also been defeated, with many casualties.

Even if they split their forces to attack, the Northern Di will no longer pose any danger to them.

Afterwards, Lü Bu and Jia Xu, along with several other generals, discussed the next day's advance, and then went back to rest.

After all, although they won the battle during the day, everyone was exhausted.

It goes without saying that Gao Shun, Pan Feng, and several other generals were injured.

Take Lü Bu for example. Although he was not injured, he fought with all his might during the day. Even if Lü Bu was strong, he was not made of iron.

Only Jia Xu was in high spirits.

The task of keeping watch and handling the aftermath naturally fell to Jia Xu.
