Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 64: Killing the General and Breaking the Flag 2
Dong Yue saw Hua Xiong as if he had seen a savior, and rushed over quickly, shouting, "Yingwei, Yingwei, save me!"
Hua Xiong rode forward, furious, "Why did you hide the flag?"
Dong Yue explained while panting, "Those rebels were all cavalry. They were waiting to break through the formation and attack us. As you can see, infantry can't stand up to cavalry at close range. If I hadn't lowered my flag, I'd probably be beheaded by now."
"So you don't care about the lives of the soldiers?"
Dong Yue shouted confidently, "How can we manage this? Once the formation is broken, there's no way to save the situation. Everyone should just run for their lives. It's already a good thing that I've been able to hold on for this long."
"You coward!"
Hua Xiong was furious and snatched the flag from the soldier next to Dong Yue and gave it to a cavalryman to hold up.
Lü Bu followed and said, "Quickly lead the fleeing soldiers to the left rear. I will lead my men to intercept the Qiang cavalry."
Hua Xiong looked at the chaotic scene with a look of embarrassment, "The formation is completely messed up, it will take a while to divert it!"
It was indeed as Hua Xiong said. Because Dong Yue had concealed the general's flag, the soldiers lost their backbone. In addition, the Qiang cavalry were constantly chasing them, so it was difficult to find a way out in a short time.
The fleeing infantry were hacked and killed by the enemy cavalry, and in a short time they suffered hundreds or even thousands of casualties.
Lü Bu looked at the high ground on the other side of the mountain and said, "That location is conspicuous. Let's have someone wave the commander's flag over there, and then send a hundred cavalrymen to disperse in and clear the way."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he rode his horse slowly towards the crowd. As he walked towards the enemy, he loudly guided the infantry to retreat to the left rear.
"General, look, there are people forming a battle formation to resist."
When they were about halfway there, a soldier following Lu Bu pointed at a group of people gathered in front and said.
Lu Bu looked in the direction he pointed. Among the retreating crowd, there were three or four hundred soldiers holding iron shields and spears, commanded by a young general. They formed a small chevaux de frise in the middle of the road. Two shield soldiers squatted on the ground, using their bodies to hold up the upright shields, while spearmen stood closely behind them, with the tips of their spears pointed diagonally to prevent cavalry charges.
The Qiang cavalry was already very close, but the young general remained calm and kept persuading the fleeing soldiers nearby to join the formation. A few of them followed him to hold up their shields, but most of them ignored him and just ran away.
In this situation, there is only one way to escape, and that is to form a formation to resist and there is still hope of survival.
Lü Bu hurriedly rode over and shouted to the surrounding fleeing soldiers, "Hurry, form a battle array! No running! Go back!"
However, the fleeing soldiers refused to listen and fled back without hesitation. Lu Bu raised his painted halberd and killed several soldiers in succession. He shouted angrily, "Two legs may outrun four. Where do you want to escape to?"
Lu Bu's eyes were cold and his aura was intimidating. The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand was dripping with blood, like a ferocious beast ready to devour people at any time. The nearby soldiers were frightened and dared not run away.
At this time, Lu Bu didn't care that he was just a commoner, and pretended to be a general. He ordered his men to command the fleeing soldiers nearby to follow the young general to form a formation. More and more soldiers joined in, and the chevaux de frise was finally no longer weak.
In the rear, Hua Xiong found several soldiers who blew bugles and asked them to follow the general's flag and keep blowing the bugles to the left and rear. When the fleeing people heard the bugles and saw that the general's flag was still there, the soldiers, led by their respective generals, reluctantly made way for Lu Bu and others.
Bian Zhang had discovered Lu Bu's team early on, but seeing that there were only a few hundred of them, he didn't take it seriously. He waved his flag, and the hundreds of Qiang cavalry on standby in the rear immediately drove their war horses. After galloping slowly for a while, they suddenly accelerated. The horses' hooves rumbled, and they rushed towards Lu Bu and others like a group of tigers coming down the mountain, baring their fangs and claws.
The two sides were still far apart. Lü Bu looked at the Qiang cavalry who were still chasing the infantry, then looked in the distance towards Bian Zhang's flag. He said to Hua Xiong, who was following behind, "I will help you kill these people first. After that, you take your men to stop the Qiang cavalry over there, and I will kill Bian Zhang."
"Can you do it alone? Or I can go with you."
Hua Xiong was busy killing enemies in the morning and didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu's heroic feat of killing everyone. He only saw him shooting Beigong Boyu and others. When he heard that Lu Bu was going to kill the general alone, he couldn't help but worry.
"No, I can go alone!"
In the time it took to say a few words, the cavalry on both sides were only an arrow's distance away. Next to Lu Bu and his men were the fleeing infantry. The space was limited, and it was impossible to avoid their attack. After two rounds of shooting, Lu Bu could only lead his men to charge head-on.
With a loud bang, the two cavalry streams collided fiercely with each other. Several figures fell off their horses in an instant. Amid the neighing of war horses, broken limbs flew everywhere, and a bloody rain filled the sky.
At the moment of crashing into the enemy formation, Lu Bu's horse also collided with a Qiang soldier. With a click, the necks of both horses were broken. Lu Bu's horse was not fast. He jumped off the horse at the moment of collision and kicked the dead horse away. The horse slid out dozens of steps, temporarily blocking the cavalry behind him, allowing Lu Bu to get some breathing space.
If he was riding Red Hare, there was no way Lu Bu would have collided with anyone. If he was riding slowly, he could lift the reins and step directly on the enemy's horse's head the moment he touched the enemy. If he was riding quickly, he could also find a gap to insert himself in. But this was not the case with an ordinary warhorse. No matter how hard he lifted the reins, it could not lift its front hooves that high.
After his warhorse slipped, Lu Bu was about to seize the horse of a Qiang man next to him, but he saw a horseman in front of him on the left rushing towards him. The impact of the fast-running warhorse was even more powerful than the rolling stones on the Gale Road. Lu Bu did not dare to be careless. After standing firm, he put strength into his arms, shouted loudly, and hit the horse's head with his halberd. The horse did not even have time to neigh before its entire skull was shattered.
However, due to the impact of the horse, Lu Bu's arms were a little numb after the blow. When he hit the rolling stone in the Gale Road, his arms were actually numb from the shock. But at that time he was in a desperate situation, and he was a little crazy and didn't care much.
After killing one of the horses, Lu Bu rushed forward quickly, casually knocked a Qiang man off his horse, and without stepping on the stirrups, he jumped with his long legs and straddled the still galloping warhorse.
The momentum of the cavalry on both sides slowed down after this collision. Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and began to reap lives. A large number of cavalry blocking his way were chopped to death in a short while.
It was too easy for Lu Bu to kill these hundreds of people. He did not look back after killing them, and left the rest of the people to Hua Xiong and others to deal with.
The number of Qiang soldiers was too large, and the only way to repel the enemy was to kill the main general. However, this time Lu Bu had experience and did not use full firepower.
He was surrounded by Qiang soldiers. If he killed too fiercely and scared Bian Zhang away, there would be no one behind him to protect him and shoot arrows. He had been restraining his strength in fighting and had been extremely brave along the way, but he was not invincible.
The Qiang cavalry from all directions continued to surround Lu Bu. Lu Bu just knocked away the Qiang soldiers blocking his way and kept shortening the distance between himself and Bian Zhang.
Bian Zhang noticed that Lu Bu was coming towards him alone. He observed for a while and found that this man's martial arts could only be ranked fourth or fifth in his army. Although brave, he was alone after all. He was surrounded by his own soldiers. Bian Zhang didn't think that Lu Bu had the ability to kill the general and seize the flag. Instead, the other party came to him on his own. If he could capture him, he might get a powerful general.
However, it would be impossible for ordinary soldiers to capture this man alive, so Bian Zhang called on several generals beside him to capture him.
Two arrows away, one arrow away, Lu Bu's eyes were fixed on the man in black armor near the general's flag. He kept thrusting out and retracting his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and his horse moved forward little by little.
When the distance between them was about half an arrow's length, Lu Bu suddenly attacked with great force, knocking over not only the ordinary soldiers but also several generals sent by Bian Zhang. His horse accelerated and soon he was within twenty steps of Bian Zhang.
