Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

If Cao Cao had a well-trained infantry, Hua Xiong would have been courting his own destruction by charging the hollow square formation with cavalry. However, these soldiers were newly recruited soldiers. Not only were they not familiar with the military formation rehearsal, but their psychological quality was also extremely poor. Many of them had already lost their formation before the cavalry even reached them.

At the moment when Hua Xiong rushed into the square formation, Cao Cao's 1,000 cavalrymen also moved. Led by Cao Ren, these people circled the right side of the battlefield and rushed to the rear of Hua Xiong's army. Zhang Ji's troops, who served as the reserve force, hurriedly adjusted their troops to meet Cao Cao's cavalry.

Seeing that Lu Bu's troops had been mobilized, Xiahou Dun led two hundred cavalrymen and rushed from the left side of the battlefield towards Lu Bu's logistics team in the middle.

Compared with the quick-paced battle in the rear, the battle on Sun Jian's side in the front was a gentle and slow-paced one. The quality of Sun Jian's soldiers was much better than Cao's, and their military appearance was quite neat. Otherwise, Hu Zhen would not have been led into a ditch so easily. In addition, Sun Jian's troops were more than three times that of Lu Bu's side, so no matter how confident Lu Bu was, he had to be on high alert.

Sun Jian's infantry was also arranged in a hollow square formation, and he also wanted to trap Lu Bu's cavalry. However, Lu Bu did not let the cavalry charge directly, but first used infantry against infantry. Sun Jian had more soldiers, and Lu Bu had fewer soldiers. There was an extra-large hollow square and a very small solid square. The two moved towards each other. Looking from the air, it looked like the small square was trying to be trapped in the middle of the large square.

This was exactly what Lu Bu was planning. He would let his infantry charge into the middle of the enemy formation, and his cavalry would then plunder from the outside, effectively using even fewer troops to attack Sun Jian's troops from both inside and outside.

Sun Jian also saw through Lu Bu's purpose. However, in an era without walkie-talkies, the formation of an army of nearly 10,000 people could not be changed at will. At this time, the two armies were almost about to meet, and forcibly changing the formation would only cause chaos in the team. Now, as long as the front could withstand Lu Bu's infantry and prevent the enemy from breaking into the formation, Lu Bu's strength could be consumed bit by bit.

Although Sun Jian's side had a large number of people, the line became thinner after they were arranged into a large hollow square formation. The 3,000 infantry in the front did not have much advantage over Lu Bu's 2,000 infantry. The two sides fought for about half an hour, and a gap was opened in the square formation.

Lu Bu's infantry poured into the center of the phalanx like a torrent, and in the process of fighting between the two sides, the other three lines of Sun Jian's phalanx were constantly shrinking inward. At this time, it seemed that Lu Bu's infantry was completely surrounded.

"Han Lai, Wu Shan, kill!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, and Han Lai and Wu Shan each led 500 cavalrymen to rush towards the battlefield.

"General, the enemy's cavalry is also coming here." A messenger said, pointing to the left rear of the fighting army.

"Yes, got it!"

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji, knocked it against Red Hare, and charged towards Sun Jian's cavalry.

Due to the lack of troops, Han Lai and Wu Dan's 1,000 cavalry were too few to plunder the enemy's infantry formation of nearly 10,000 people, so Lu Bu could only charge at the enemy cavalry alone.

Back then at Wangyuan, Lu Bu single-handedly broke through the two Qiang army formations of thousands of people. Sun Jian only had a few hundred cavalrymen. Although he could not kill them all by himself, he had no problem defeating them. Of course, Lu Bu's purpose in doing this was also to attract the enemy cavalry to prevent Han Lai and his men from being attacked from two sides.

The Red Hare was extremely fast. Lu Bu pointed his Fang Tian Hua Ji diagonally and used the momentum of the horse to meet the charging Sun Jian cavalry.

When Han Dang saw that Lu Bu was actually trying to stop hundreds of his cavalrymen alone, he was not only surprised but also excited. In his opinion, although Lu Bu was brave, he was only one person. Even if he could not kill him, he could still wear him out by wasting his energy.

Hundreds of cavalrymen surrounded Lu Bu together, stabbing left and right with their Fang Tian Hua Ji, sweeping horizontally and slashing vertically, like a tiger descending from the mountain, biting the enemy troops surrounding him.

The emerald green water of Jian River was soon dyed red with blood, and the reeds on the bank turned into bursts of flower rain under the swords, spears and iron hooves. Sun Jian, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw that Lu Bu had killed nearly a hundred of his knights alone, and his pupils shrank.

"Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, one of you will sneak around to Lü Bu's rear, blending in with the soldiers. Han Dang and I will distract him from the front. If he wants to retreat quickly, he will come and kill me. You will seize this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and ensure his life is taken."

Cheng Pu said anxiously, "My lord, please do not take any risks. Let me lead the way."

"Your lives have no appeal to him." Sun Jian said, and without waiting for the two to object, he rushed towards Lu Bu with his weapons.

Although Lu Bu had been fighting, his eyes never left Sun Jian. Seeing him rushing towards him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. This man was not afraid of death?

The tip of the halberd pierced a soldier's neck, and Lu Bu threw the man out and met Sun Jian.

Knowing that Lu Bu was powerful, Sun Jian did not dare to get too close to him, and always kept a distance from him that was almost enough for their weapons to touch. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had already circled around Lu Bu's side and rear from the left and right sides respectively, and mixed in with the ordinary soldiers.

Lu Bu killed the two soldiers who were blocking the way in front of him and thrust the tip of his halberd towards Sun Jian. Sun Jian raised his sword to block it, but with a clang, the sword in his hand was knocked away by Lu Bu.

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment. He was known as the Jiangdong Tiger and had almost no rivals in Jiangdong, but Lu Bu knocked his weapon away with just one move?

Seeing that Lu Bu's weapon was stabbing towards him again, Sun Jian hurriedly drove his horse to the side to avoid it. However, Lu Bu just looked at him with a mocking smile and did not chase him anymore. He turned his red horse and charged towards the nearby soldiers again.

If Lu Bu wanted to go on a killing spree, he could have beheaded those princes when he entered the Guandong Army camp, but he did not do so. Killing these small people would not benefit him at all. Instead, he would be branded as a bloodthirsty and brutal person. It was a purely thankless job. In fact, he wanted to kill Yuan Shao first the most, but he never had the chance.

However, just because he didn't want to kill Sun Jian didn't mean he didn't want to kill others either. Sun Jian dared to come back to intercept, so he should pay the price.

Lu Bu looked at Han Dang who was not far from Sun Jian, and with a knock of Red Hare, he swung out his Fang Tian Hua Ji repeatedly, instantly killing several soldiers blocking his way. Han Dang wanted to kill Lu Bu together with Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, but just as he was about to go forward, suddenly a spring breeze with a smell of blood blew past him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his chest cavity had been split in half. Lu Bu didn't even look at him, and rushed into the group of soldiers again.

"Righteous Lord—"

Later, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai saw Han Dang being killed, their eyes widened, and they beat their horses' buttocks and rushed forward to chase and kill Lu Bu.

"Demou, Gongfu~Come back, come back quickly..."

Sun Jian came to his senses and shouted at the two people who were about to die. His face was ashen and veins bulged on his forehead. It was obvious that he was extremely sad and angry, but he did not lose his mind.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai stopped in their tracks at Sun Jian's angry, terrified shout. Huang Gai looked at Sun Jian in confusion, "My lord, why didn't you let me chase and kill Lü Bu?"

Sun Jian rode up on his horse and said, "Lü Bu possesses extraordinary strength. Not to mention the two of you, even if we had twenty more men, we wouldn't be able to kill him."

His anger had faded slightly, replaced by a face full of regret. "It's my fault. I heard about him fighting five generals alone at Sishui Pass, but I just took it as boasting. I could sense his terrifying strength when he knocked my weapon away just now. Don't make any more senseless sacrifices."

"That Righteous Lord..."

"It is normal to fight to the death on the battlefield. Lu Bu has shown mercy, otherwise I would have died just now." Sun Jian glanced at Lu Bu who was killing everyone in the cavalry formation, and then looked at the infantry formation over there.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was like a game of Go. Originally, Lu Bu's black chess pieces were surrounded in the middle, but with the addition of the two cavalry groups just now, Sun Jian's white chess pieces were attacked from both inside and outside. As time passed, the white chess pieces were being swallowed up by the black chess pieces bit by bit.

"Retreat!"

Sun Jian rode his horse over to pick up Han Dang's body and gave a calm order.

…………

Sun Jian retreated, and Cao's army in the rear had already fled. Lu Bu was gathering his own troops when he saw a horseman rushing towards him from behind. "General, this is bad! Amo has been abducted by Cao Cao's men!"
