Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The sun slowly rose, and as the sunlight extended, the temperature grew higher and higher. The soldiers, who had been fighting for nearly half the morning, felt a little tired, and even the soldiers lined up in the rear and had not yet joined the battle began to sweat profusely.

Yuan Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Lü Bu, who sat calmly on his Red Hare. He pointed at the troops behind Gongsun Zan and said, "Those two armies have also started to move. If Fengxian doesn't take action, General Qu will be unable to hold out."

Lu Bu's eyes remained on the battlefield. At this time, Yuan Shao's infantry was basically defeated, Yan Liang's troops on the left also suffered heavy casualties, and Gongsun Zan's cavalry was killed by Hua Xiong's troops. Qu Yi and Bai Ma were still evenly matched. Overall, Gongsun Zan had the upper hand.

"Go, charge the enemy's right side."

Although Yuan Shao's infantry was defeated, Gongsun Zan's infantry was not in much better condition. This was a good opportunity to harvest heads.

Seeing that Lu Bu finally took action, Yuan Shao finally let out a sigh of relief. Although this old man was extremely annoying, there was no army that he could not defeat as long as he took action.

Lü Bu personally led his two thousand cavalrymen, who plunged like sharp blades into the enemy's right flank. Screams of agony followed. The already disorganized infantry were barely able to resist the cavalry's charge, which they slashed with effortless decapitation. Within moments, Gongsun Zan's forces, like Yuan's army, began to flee in all directions.

Gongsun Zan in the rear saw Lu Bu taking action and hurriedly ordered a cavalry unit on standby to encircle Lu Bu's rear.

Because Qu Yi's troops had inserted themselves into the middle of the entire formation, the middle passage of the cross-echelon attrition formation of the ten-sided ambush formation had lost its function. The defeated soldiers in the front fled in all directions, and the cavalry in the rear could only come around the periphery of the formation.

Lü Bu, standing on horseback, surveyed the situation and gave the order, "Avoid the enemy cavalry and join forces with Hua Xiong. Go to the center and attack the White Horse Volunteers with Qu Yi. Then circle around and attack from the left flank."

When the horn sounded, the flag bearer rushed forward closely behind Lu Bu, and the other soldiers followed the military flags and rushed to the center. When Gongsun Zan's cavalry arrived, they had already reached the rear.

The White Horse Volunteers had been fighting with Qu Yi for a long time, but they were killed in pieces in a short time when Lu Bu's thousands of men charged in. The other two armies wanted to come over and surround Lu Bu's troops, but as soon as Lu Bu rushed out of the White Horse formation, he turned around and attacked to the left.

Zhang Yan, who was fighting a stalemate with Yan Liang's troops on the left, saw Lu Bu's troops charging towards them, and saw that Gongsun Zan's cavalry was very far away. How could his remaining troops dare to block the way? He hurriedly abandoned Yan Liang's troops and retreated to the center of the formation.

As Lu Bu's cavalry charged, Gongsun Zan's formation had become a mess. There were defeated soldiers fleeing, and newly joined reinforcements were chasing Lu Bu. There were scattered crowds everywhere, cavalry and infantry mixed together, and there was even an incident where his own cavalry trampled on the infantry.

And this cavalry was Taishi Ci's troops. The orders given to him by Amo seemed difficult to follow, but in fact his troops were the most unscrupulous on the entire battlefield. As long as they avoided Lu Bu's team, they could charge and trample on everyone else, whether they were Gongsun Zan's men or Yuan Shao's men. At this time, Zhang Yan gave the order to retreat to the center, and Taishi Ci immediately led the Golden Eagle Guards to rush towards the chaotic crowd.

In the chaotic battlefield, many of the defeated soldiers were without flags, and it was inevitable that they would accidentally injure their own people. Even Zhang Yan's men trampled to death and injured many of Gongsun Zan's men.

Gongsun Zan in the rear discovered that Lu Bu had gone around to the left, so he ordered the pursuing cavalry to retreat and surround him.

In today's battle, both Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao suffered heavy casualties. However, Yuan Shao's side was in a worse situation. Gongsun Zan at least still had two intact army formations in the rear.

Lu Bu had just led his men around the formation, mainly to disrupt the entire battlefield. Now that his goal had been achieved, he no longer avoided this army and led his troops to rush forward.

This time, Lu Bu brought a thousand Flying Bear troops and three thousand Wolf Cavalry troops. So far in the fighting, only more than four hundred Wolf Cavalry troops were killed, and the Flying Bear troops had almost no casualties. Nearly four thousand Bingzhou cavalry plus some of the remnants of Qu Yi and Yan Liang who had just joined, a total of more than seven thousand people, made it not difficult for them to head-on attack the six thousand cavalry sent by Gongsun Zan.

The battlefield was filled with blood mist and the fighting was deafening. As the sun slowly set, the fighting between the two cavalry groups gradually ended, and this four-way battle finally came to an end.

Who won in the end?

Gongsun Zan looked at the few remaining White Horse Volunteers and nearly half of the ordinary soldiers who were killed or injured, and felt that he had lost miserably!

Yuan Shao counted his own casualties and found that there were only more than 7,000 soldiers left who could fight. He felt that he had lost.

Zhang Yan looked at the remaining 8,000 soldiers and learned that Gongsun Zan had wanted to withdraw before he arrived. He immediately felt that he was meddling too much.

After Lu Bu gathered his troops and comforted the wounded, he went into the tent with his wife in his arms as soon as it got dark.

"How is it? Did you achieve the desired result?"

Zhang Mo asked as she helped Lu Bu take off his armor.

"Of course, your husband will do it himself, right?"

Lu Bu enjoyed her service in a happy mood. At this moment, he felt that the happiest thing in the world was to come back from the battle and have his beloved woman by his side to help him take off his heavy armor.

He leaned over to kiss her, raised his hand to smell the sweat and blood on his body, and stopped when he got close to her.

"This time, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were almost both defeated, and Zhang Yan also suffered heavy casualties. They should all withdraw their troops tomorrow, and we can return to Bingzhou. I miss you so much, little Baozi!"

Thinking of the little boy who looked almost identical to him, Lü Bu's expression softened. "The struggle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan isn't over yet. Judging by the situation, it will take several more years for them to fight. The biggest threat to Bingzhou right now is Black Mountain. If I help Yuan Shao this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to form an alliance with Zhang Yan."

"That's not necessarily true. We have no grudge against Zhang Yan. This time we're helping Yuan Shao out of self-interest. If we can offer Zhang Yan enough benefits, we can still win him over temporarily."

Lü Bu said unhappily, "What benefits can I offer? If he dares to send troops to plunder, I will kill him as soon as he comes. If he doesn't want to form an alliance, then at worst we can just keep out of each other's way."

It has always been others who have benefited him. When will it be his turn to benefit others?

"He has a million bandits in Heishan. Today they're seizing Shangdang, tomorrow they're seizing Taiyuan, and the day after tomorrow they're seizing Yanmen. Can you defeat them all? Frequent battles not only cost money and food, but also affect farming. There are so many counties near Taihang. If they keep harassing us, the farmers' hard-earned fields will be ruined. Even if we repel the bandits, it won't benefit us in any way."

Zhang Mo wrung out a piece of cloth and wiped Lu Bu's face. "Besides, you still have Henei County to deal with. Henei County is located in the southern part of Taihang Mountain. The Black Mountain bandits there are also very rampant. If you want a relatively stable period of development, Zhang Yan can only form an alliance."

"Then... what benefits should be given to Zhang Yan?" If Zhang Yan had to be given a batch of food and fodder every year, he would rather fight.

At this time, a laborer brought water over. Zhang Mo said, "Go take a bath first. I'll think about this matter again after returning to Bingzhou and understanding the specific situation."
