On a nearby hilltop, Li Su looked down at the sea of ​​heads below, swallowed hard, and turned to look at Lu Bu with a look of disbelief. "Fengxian, are you really going to break the formation? With just a hundred of us?"

Wei Xu also advised, "Brother-in-law, although you are very powerful, we are not. This is an army of thousands of people. If we go down, it will be like a drop of water in the ocean, not making a single wave. It is completely useless."

"Also, no matter how powerful you are, you are still human, not a god. You will get exhausted and injured, so don't take the risk. There will be opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future, so this time is not enough."

"No!"

Lu Bu's deep eyes took one last look at the Qiang army formation, then he turned and walked down the mountain. "It's not us, it's me alone! You wait at the back and watch!"

It is basically useless to have such a small number of people follow him, and they may even hold him back. It is better for him to come and go freely alone.

Niu Li was stunned when he saw that Lu Bu was going to break the formation alone. There were thousands of cavalrymen, and a spit from each of them could drown him. How could he dare?

Looking at Lü Bu walking away, Li Su hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow him. He shouted as he chased him, "Fengxian, wait a minute. I'll go with you."

The general and others were trapped inside, and he just watched from behind, allowing Lu Bu to break through the formation alone. The general would definitely blame him when he found out later. Although Li Su was a little scared, he also knew that wealth and honor come in danger. Now he could only hope that Lu Bu could really kill thousands of people alone.

Wei Xu looked down the mountain and then at Lu Bu's back. He scratched the ground with his toes twice and took a step to catch up. "Brother-in-law, wait for me."

Seeing that everyone had gone down the mountain, Niu Li remembered the scene a few days ago where Lu Bu fought against five hundred people alone in the army. He gritted his teeth and chose to follow.

……

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army was powerful, and the rebel Qiang soldiers were not weak either. If they were in good condition, it would be no difficulty for Dong Zhuo to defeat 8,000 with only 5,000.

However, the Xiliang army had been entangled for two days and had not been able to rest properly at night. After fighting for a while, Dong Zhuo found that his side was already showing signs of defeat. It was difficult to break through the first army formation, let alone the two more behind.

Compared with the previous two days, the combat effectiveness and morale of the Xiliang army today were obviously much lower. However, what made Dong Zhuo even more desperate was that according to the report from the scouts in the rear, a group of Qiang soldiers were chasing them from behind, with a number of about 8,000.

The soldiers were tired and the generals were exhausted, and they were attacked from both sides. Forget about breaking out. If he was not careful, all the hard work that Dong Zhongying had accumulated over the years would be ruined.

"My lord, if it doesn't work, let me and others take you away first!" Hu Zhen also saw the difficulty of breaking through and suggested sincerely.

It would be difficult for a large army to move, but it was still possible to select a few hundred elite soldiers and take the opportunity to bypass the enemy while Hua Xiong and others were attracting the main force of the enemy.

"No, I will never give up until the last moment."

After two nights of not getting a good rest, Dong Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot and his straight body was slightly hunched, but his words were still sonorous and powerful.

Hu Zhen pursed his lips and pleaded bitterly, "Wait until the last moment, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to. My lord! As long as there are green mountains, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. Why fight to the death here!"

Dong Zhuo said angrily, "These are the lives of over 20,000 soldiers, the imperial army, and the hard work I have accumulated over the years. How can I just give up on them? Talk about literary talent, please."

If he were twenty years younger, he might have listened to Hu Zhen's words, but now he is nearly fifty years old and does not have many years left to live. Where would the green mountains come from?

Although victory and defeat are common in the military, if he dies here, he will be in trouble even if he escapes by chance. The last time he defeated the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, he was imprisoned and tried because he failed to achieve any success. This time, if his entire army is wiped out, he is afraid that he will lose his head.

"General, reinforcements are coming!"

Just when Dong Zhuo was in despair, he heard the excited shouts of the lookout soldiers.

Dong Zhuo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people rushing out from the valley in the distance with murderous intent. Judging from their attire, they looked like his own people.

Hu Zhen on the side asked, "Could it be that Liu Jing has brought people to support us?"

Dong Zhuo's dim eyes lit up and he laughed heartily, "That must be it! I didn't expect this guy to be so clever. There's hope of breaking through today."

This is the last line of defense of the rebels. After passing this area, the terrain ahead gradually opens up, and tens of thousands of troops can gallop forward without worrying about being tripped up by their own people. Liu Jing chose to come to the rescue at this time, and the timing was just right.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that after about a hundred riders rushed out from the other side, there was no one else. After waiting for a while, the hundred riders in front were already within an arrow's reach, but there was still no one behind the valley. The hope that ignited in Dong Zhuo's heart was like a bubble, shattered in an instant.

"I'm afraid this is just a group of scouts gathered together. With so few people, they are just here to die!"

As they were talking, the Qiang soldiers in the rear were already preparing to shoot arrows at Lu Bu and his men. Perhaps they thought that the newcomers were only a few hundred people, so they did not take them seriously. The cavalry on both sides of the square formation did not move, only the few hundred people in the middle drew their bows and aimed arrows at Lu Bu.

Hundreds of arrows rained down, and Dong Zhuo could foresee that with just one round, these hundred people would be shot like hedgehogs.

However, the tragic scene he expected did not happen. He saw that the team suddenly stopped one arrow away, and the other party's first round of arrows missed.

Lu Bu was not so stupid as to charge into the rain of arrows of three thousand men with only a hundred men. Last time at the Gale Pass, because he suddenly rushed out and the two sides were not far apart, he used his shield to protect himself and blocked a round of arrows, and then kicked his horse away to block the arrows, so that he could break into the enemy formation without any harm.

The person who shot the arrow today didn't bring a shield, and the other person could fire three or four rounds in a row before he rushed over. His strength was only improved, but he didn't develop an indestructible body.

When the Qiang cavalry saw Lu Bu and his men stop, a general-looking man immediately called on several hundred cavalrymen to charge forward, but they saw the leader of the opposing team dismounted, picked up a tree that was being pulled behind his horse, and rushed over first.

The tree was only as thick as an adult man's thigh, and most people could hug it, so no one found it strange.

"Fire arrows!"

The Qiang general hurriedly gave orders.

A hail of arrows shot towards Lu Bu alone. Lu Bu held the tree trunk under his armpit, pointed the treetop at an angle, and used the strength of his waist and arms to quickly swing the tree. After a series of rustling sounds, the arrows shot at him were almost all knocked down by the dense branches and leaves on the tree trunk.

Although the tree is not big, the more luxuriant the branches and leaves are, the greater the air resistance is when waving it. Most people are lucky if they can swing it slowly, but Lu Bu is waving the tree in his hand like a wooden stick, which surprises everyone!

In just a moment, Lu Bu had rushed past half an arrow's distance. He shouted loudly, and with the momentum of his running start, he swung the tree trunk in his hand away with all his strength.

"call--"

The tree flew towards the enemy camp with the force of sweeping away thousands of troops, knocking down dozens of riders in front with a bang, and then it stopped after sweeping away dozens of riders behind with the remaining force. Suddenly, a gap was left in the neat formation of the Qiang soldiers.

The Qiang people nearby were completely stunned. This was simply beyond human power.

Seeing this, Li Su and others behind him hurriedly drove their horses to rush forward. Lu Bu took a few steps, grabbed the reins of the galloping warhorse with his left hand, pressed the horse's back with his right hand, and jumped onto his mount. He took a few quick breaths to catch his breath, took the Fang Tian Hua Ji handed to him by Li Su, and took the lead to charge into the enemy formation.

After close contact, he was no longer afraid of the enemy's arrows. Lu Bu swept his Fang Tian Hua Ji across, and the soldier who was blocking the front was knocked away. The soldier's body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with flesh foam.

At this time, Lu Bu no longer used his inhuman strength, but just maintained his previous level, stabbing and chopping with his painted halberd, sweeping the Qiang soldiers surrounding him off their horses one by one. His horse galloped swiftly in the enemy formation. He was like a chariot galloping into a wheat field. Wherever he passed, the Qiang cavalry were crushed in batches.

A bloody path spread out behind him, and the originally dark Qiang army formation was torn open with a bloody gap. Li Su and others followed closely and rushed in, slightly widening the gap.

The Qiang cavalry were already frightened when they saw Lu Bu throw the tree away. Then they saw him rushing in like a meat grinder. No one who came into contact with him could survive a single round in his hands. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they subconsciously tried to avoid Lu Bu's edge.

"When did I find such a brave man in my army, and I didn't know about it?"

Looking at Lu Bu who was unstoppable among the vast army, Dong Zhuo was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. His eyes were full of excitement, and the blood in his body seemed to boil with Lu Bu's fighting.

Hu Zhen was also surprised. "I don't know either. This person might not be one of our soldiers. Otherwise, we wouldn't be unaware of his bravery."

"This man's bravery is even greater than Yingwei's!"

Dong Zhuo was extremely excited and shouted, "Come on, tell Hua Xiong to break through with all his might! Kill!"

After saying that, he snatched the drumstick from the soldier beating the drum nearby and beat the drum himself to boost morale.

"Boom boom boom——"

The powerful and heavy drum sound reached far into the battlefield. Hua Xiong and the others who were in the thick of the battle were shocked when they heard the drum sound.

Hua Xiong, gazing at the enemy formation from afar, sensed some movement. Seeing Dong Zhuo personally beating the drum, he shouted, "Reinforcements are coming! The lord is beating the drum himself! All the generals, follow me and attack!"

Niu Fu and the others also shouted loudly, "Reinforcements are coming! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Upon hearing that reinforcements were coming, the morale of the Xiliang army, which had been somewhat low, suddenly rose, and the tired soldiers burst out with strong fighting power again.

Over there, Lu Bu was about to break through the first formation, but he found that Li Su and others had not caught up. He looked back and saw that those people were trapped in the middle and more than half of them were dead or wounded.

The Qiang people were afraid of Lu Bu's terrifying killing power, but that didn't mean they were afraid of Li Su's hundred cavalrymen. After seeing Lu Bu charging forward, they surrounded him again and trapped Li Su and others in the formation.

Lu Bu hurriedly reined in his mount and turned his horse around to charge back. He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji across, and a Qiang soldier who had no time to dodge was cut in two from the chest. His upper body fell to the ground, but he was not dead yet, and his head was trampled by a horse next to him.

The Qiang soldiers were caught off guard by the fact that Lu Bu, the killer, had returned again. They were immediately frightened and panicked. Lu Bu danced the halberd in his hand very quickly, like the scythe of the god of death, harvesting the heads of the Qiang soldiers one by one.
