Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you!"

"I've been watching for three days, it's time to leave!"

Zhang Mo was carrying a bag and looked at Lu Bu speechlessly. For the past three days, except for sleeping time, this guy's eyes were almost always on her, making her feel uncomfortable.

"It's never enough to look at you! I won't be able to see you for a long time this time."

By the stream, Lu Bu gently embraced her, holding her right hand with his left hand, and stroking the thin calluses on her palm with his thumb.

"No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go. If you leave early, you won't have to rush on the road."

"Stay another night?"

"no!"

Zhang Mo stuffed the bag into his arms and pushed him towards the village gate. "Hurry up, mother's death anniversary is coming soon, don't waste time."

"There's still a lot of time left, there's no rush." ​​Lu Bu stopped and grabbed her.

"We have to leave sooner or later, can't you just be quick?"

Lu Bu leaned close to her ear and said, "Let me kiss you, and I'll listen to you."

"rogue!"

Zhang Mo was about to push him away, but the next moment a warm kiss was imprinted on her cheek.

The delicate and soft touch made Lu Bu unable to stop. He held her waist with one hand and stroked her back with the other. His lips were about to move towards her red lips, but she pushed him away forcefully the next second.

Zhang Mo glanced at Wei Xu and Mei Xiang not far away, her face quickly flushed, and she glared at Lu Bu in shame and anger, "You are shameless in broad daylight."

Lu Bu smiled evilly, "Then... the moon is dark and the wind is strong... why not tonight..."

"roll!"

Zhang Mo kicked him without hesitation.

Seeing that she was a little angry, Lu Bu stopped teasing her, gave her a final hug, and pulled out a white jade hairpin from her hair.

Her long black hair spreads out like a waterfall, and the breeze blows her hair, bringing bursts of jasmine fragrance.

Lu Bu put the hairpin to his nose and smelled it. It had her scent. Satisfied, he put the hairpin in his arms and said, "Let it be a keepsake for me."

Zhang Mo gathered her hair with both hands and hummed as she walked forward, "If you want to tell me sooner, I have several in my room. You must pull the one on my head!"

Lu Bu said, "This is the one you wear most often."

Zhang Mo paused slightly and continued walking towards the village gate. Lu Bu followed her, picked up a few flying hairs and wrapped them around his hands, sighing in his heart, the land of gentleness is indeed the tomb of heroes!

Outside the village gate, he looked at her deeply for the last time, suppressed the urge to take her with him, and rode away.

There is actually plenty of time, but Amo doesn't seem to like him staying in Juyi Village. Lu Bu knows that she still doesn't completely trust him in her heart.

Amo wanted to drive him away, and although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to set off. She could just stop by Yanmen to see Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao is now serving as the cavalry commander under Bingzhou Governor Zhang Yi, leading a thousand Bingzhou cavalry. Apart from training troops, he usually leads the troops to drive out the Hu people and suppress bandits.

Zhang Liao wasn't home when Lü Bu arrived at the Zhang residence. The housekeeper let them in and explained, "Young Master received a report yesterday that a group of Hu people were fighting outside Wuzhou County with a Han merchant caravan heading north to buy horses. He's taking people to investigate. If all goes well, he'll be back around tomorrow. You'll be staying at our residence for now."

"To fight the Hu people?"

As soon as Lu Bu took a step into the Zhang residence, he retracted his steps, turned around and bowed to Zhang, the housekeeper. "Since Wenyuan is not here, I will not disturb you. I will go to Wuzhou to look for him."

Seeing Lü Bu's tall and muscular figure, with a long halberd and longbow slung over his horse, Steward Zhang suspected he was a martial artist, so he didn't try to stop him. He simply warned, "The Hu people are rampant this year, so be careful on the road, my guest!"

"Thank you for the reminder. I'll take my leave now!" Lu Bu jumped on his horse and galloped towards Wuzhou County after leaving the city.

……

Let's go back to two days ago. After Xu Chu and others came out of Jinyang, they did not encounter any Hu people until they entered Yanmen County. Today, when they were about to enter Dingxiang County, they ran into a large Xiongnu army of more than a thousand people.

Xu Chu originally wanted to find a terrain like the one Amo mentioned to set up the formation, but it turned out that the area within a few miles was all open flat land, without even a forest. There was only a large area of ​​sparse bushes growing near a dried-up lake.

The lake was extremely shallow, only half a person's height from the lake bottom to the shore, and the bottom was dry and cracked, allowing cavalry to gallop freely.

Xu Chu looked at the sparse low bushes again. There were no bushes among the many places that Amo listed as suitable for setting up the formation!

"Don't hesitate. The cavalry is fast and there is no time to go further. Just set up the formation here!" Du Fei came over and urged.

Xu Chu nodded and said loudly, "Set up the formation!"

The soldiers acted quickly, some inserting stakes and some pulling carts. In less than half an hour, they had formed a large semicircular array of stakes in front of the bushes, leaving a passage in the middle for the cavalry to pass through.

Xu Chu and others wanted to rob the Huns' war horses, and the Huns also wanted to rob them. After scouts reported that there was a Han merchant caravan ahead, the Hun cavalry came roaring.

In recent years, the border has been turbulent, and merchants without some skills dare not come to the north to buy horses. Wu Jin, the leader of the Xiongnu Ulanmu tribe, led his troops to the front and saw that the enemy had seven or eight hundred people. The cavalry in the middle were distributed in the middle of a semicircle, and archers were scattered in arcs on both sides. There were also pointed wood erected in front to prevent the cavalry from charging directly.

Wu Jin narrowed his eyes. This caravan seemed a little unusual.

He cast his eyes on the bicycle frame placed behind the wooden stakes. It was covered tightly with waterproof oilcloth, which must be the valuables.

The Huns' favorite things were silk and ironware, and of course daily necessities such as salt and tea were also very popular with them.

Before leaving, Zhang Mo deliberately prepared a few more vehicles, some of which were used to carry food and fodder, and some were actually used to transport wooden stakes. However, the outer packaging was made very tight, in order to lure the Hu people to come and rob them, so that Xu Chu and others could take advantage of the geographical advantage and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

In fact, there are many places along the way that are suitable for longbowmen to set up their formations. The most common one is next to the woods. After the longbowmen have fired a concentrated shot, they can hide in the woods to prevent the cavalry from charging. If the enemy dares to dismount and chase in, they can also use short bows and swords to engage in guerrilla warfare.

It's just that Xu Chu and others were unlucky today. The team happened to encounter the Hu people when they walked into this barren wilderness.

Wu Jin surveyed the surrounding terrain. If there were no obstacles around, it would be best to go around the semicircle and attack from behind. But now there was a bush half a man's height behind the enemy's formation. Although it was not very dense, it was not suitable for war horses to gallop. It would be better to charge head-on. He drew the scimitar at his waist and ordered the cavalry to charge.

In Wu Jin's opinion, this caravan was setting up stakes and forming a battle formation. Although it was more organized than ordinary caravans, those young and strong men were just foot soldiers with some martial arts skills. They were not a threat to his own brave grassland knights.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

The Xiongnu cavalry drove their war horses, with fierce looks on their faces and shouting and screaming, trying to scare the other side first.

If it were an ordinary unit, seeing so many Xiongnu cavalrymen shouting would surely scare them to the point of limbs going limp. However, Zhang Mo's bandits had seen countless battles since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. If these thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen were replaced by elite imperial cavalry, they might have been frightened. But as for these Hu people who used bones as arrowheads, the bandits really didn't take them seriously.

"Kill the barbarian dog! Kill the barbarian dog! Kill the barbarian dog!"

The Golden Eagle Guards followed suit, raising their swords and shouting. Although their numbers were not as large as those of the Huns, their momentum was no less. The blades of the two hundred sabers in the semicircle shone brightly in the sunlight as the soldiers swung their arms.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled as the Hun's horses began to gallop. Before they were within range of an arrow, the Hun cavalry, relying on their superb riding skills, freed their hands and began to draw arrows and bend their bows. However, before they were within range, they saw that the enemy had already started shooting arrows. Three hundred arrows rained down on their heads with a rustling sound.

"what--"

"hiss--"

There were sporadic screams from the soldiers and neighing of horses in the Xiongnu cavalry. Although the two sides were far apart, the longbows were powerful enough. In addition, most of the Xiongnu cavalry only wore leather armor. The sharp arrows pierced through the leather armor and penetrated two or three inches into the flesh. Several knights who were shot fell off their horses. More than a dozen horses were shot and jumped around violently in the team. No matter how skilled the Xiongnu knights were in riding, they could not control the injured horses, and the team became a little chaotic.

Seeing this situation, Wu Jin was slightly surprised, but the longbow's ultra-long range made him even more excited. The Han people's bows and crossbows were so powerful. If they could be used to suppress them, the combat effectiveness of his Wulanmu tribe would be greatly improved. And those knives attracted his attention more than the carts of goods.

"Warriors, speed up and kill!"

"Brush brush..."

Amidst Wu Jin's loud shouts, the second wave of arrows came. This time the distance was closer and the accuracy was slightly better. About forty or fifty Xiongnu cavalrymen were killed or wounded.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the two sides were within an arrow's distance, and the Huns began to draw their bows and shoot at each other. Because the longbowmen were blocked by cargo carts in front of them, the Huns knew that the possibility of killing the archers was small, so their first target was the cavalry in the middle of the circle.

Xu Chu and others took action when he rushed over. The three hundred cavalry were divided into two teams, with the armored ones in front and the unarmored ones in the back. The two teams ran backwards in arcs on both sides. The first wave of arrows from the Huns caused almost no casualties to the Golden Eagle Guards.

An arrow was within reach in the blink of an eye under the cavalry charge. There were sharp wooden stakes on both sides of the semicircular formation. When the Hun cavalry charged, the team unconsciously gathered in the middle passage, which made the longbowmen's hit rate even higher. After two more rounds of arrow rain, more than two hundred Huns had been shot to death.
