After switching to a new warhorse, Guan Yu's aura immediately changed.
No matter what, Gongsun Zan's horse was a fine horse from the Northern Lands. It was much taller and stronger than Guan Yu's inferior horse. Therefore, even though he was carrying three to four hundred catties of things, he was still as fast as lightning.
This time, Lu Bu did not dare to play the game of sudden acceleration. Firstly, Guan Yu had changed horses, and secondly, he was definitely prepared. She could only attack him first. Moreover, she couldn't let him raise his crescent blade. 81 pounds was not an ordinary weight.
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed even more. Lu Bu knew that he was really angry this time and wanted to kill someone. Others might be afraid, but Lu Bu wasn't worried at all. After all, he was carrying such a heavy weapon, so his endurance wasn't that good.
The two of them got closer again. The two peerless weapons, the Heavenly Halberd and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, collided again. Time seemed to have stopped. Under the gazes of hundreds of thousands of people, the two of them slowly competed with each other.
After a long time, Guan Yu's horse couldn't hold on any longer and retreated. Only then did the two of them separate. He was already panting slightly.
When an expert reached a certain level, techniques were no longer important. The only things that could be compared were speed and strength.
In the first round of speed competition, although Guan Yu was completely defeated, it was inseparable from his warhorse and weapon.
In the second round of the contest of strength, both sides were tied. Both sides used their greatest strength. This time, it was Guan Yu's weapon that had allowed him to tie with Lu Bu. It was also because of his warhorse that he had broken the stalemate.
Both sides took a few steps back and started attacking again. Guan Yu was still using his signature move. He raised his hand and slashed down with his crescent blade, aiming for Lu Bu's head.
Lu Bu didn't care. He quickly thrust out his halberd, aiming at Guan Yu's right arm.
If Guan Yu didn't come back to help, his right arm would definitely be crippled, and the crescent blade wouldn't be able to land on Lu Bu's head.
Guan Yu's blade descended fiercely, accurately cutting the connection between the halberd and the crescent blade. The two of them returned to the confrontation of power.
However, this time, both sides quickly withdrew their weapons.
And so, a strange scene occurred. Every time Guan Yu attacked, he would slash down from above or slash at a 45-degree angle, taking Lu Bu's upper body. However, Lu Bu's attacks always revolved around his right arm or weapon. Each of their attacks ended with the collision of their weapons, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
The dukes and Dong Zhuo were all puzzled, and only a few experts could understand what was going on, so they began to worry for Guan Yu. Guan Yu also had a bitter feeling that he couldn't speak out. He wasn't good at fighting in a stalemate. He always suppressed his opponents with his aura first, then used his heavy weapon to slash down with the force of a thunderbolt. His opponents often died under his saber before they could react. However, in his battle with Lu Bu, he was always forced to compete with him in strength. It was simply using his own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.
After 40 to 50 rounds, Lu Bu was only a little tired, while Guan Yu was already a little exhausted. Each slash seemed to weigh a thousand catties.
At this point, those with some foresight could see that Guan Yu's failure was only a matter of time.
Liu Bei, who was in the middle of the dukedom formation, was also secretly worried. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pushed Zhang Fei out.
Zhang Fei had long been impatient. Seeing that Guan Yu could not open up the situation for a long time, his hands were itching to die. If Liu Bei had not kept pulling him, he would have already rushed out.
The people who were worried about Guan Yu just now were now criticizing Liu Bei for being shameless. However, he was the descendant of the Emperor, so they should still give him some face. Hence, they all quietly watched the performance.
On the other side, Dong Zhuo was cursing Zhang Fei as he looked at him. He then looked around and asked,"The dukes are truly shameless, using numbers to bully numbers. Who is willing to go down and fight that black devil?”
Zhang Fei rode his horse out and didn't announce his name. Although he was a big shot, he also knew etiquette and shame. Therefore, no one knew who he was.
Everyone knew Lu Bu's martial arts very well. Now that they had seen how difficult it was to deal with a red-faced man, and now that there was such a scary black-faced man, they were a little afraid. No one answered.
Li Ru had originally wanted Zhang Ji to go down and help Lu Bu. In Dong Zhuo's army, Zhang Ji was the only one who could fight. However, he also felt that Lu Bu had been stealing his limelight recently, and Dong Zhuo was treating him better than he was. This was something he could not tolerate.
Dong Zhuo did not have a son. Of his two daughters, one married him and the other married Niu Fu. Although Niu Fu had some martial strength, he was loyal and did not have any ambitions. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have asked him to guard Western Liang.
He had thought that after Dong Zhuo died, his position would be his, so he had been doing his best for Dong Zhuo, trying his best to show off his talents. But now, Lu Bu had suddenly become Dong Zhuo's adopted son, and Dong Zhuo immediately placed his attention on him. After this battle, he didn't know how Dong Zhuo would reward him.
Hence, he remained silent.
Seeing that no one answered after asking for a long time, Dong Zhuo was angry. Just as he was about to curse, someone appeared behind Yang Feng and cupped his fists."Prime Minister, I am willing to lend Marquis Wen a hand.”
"Alright, go, go. I'll reward you when you come back.”Dong Zhuo didn't ask for his name. He only saw his imposing appearance and some martial strength, so he urged him to leave.
At this moment, Zhang Fei had already rushed to Guan Yu's side and blocked Lu Bu's crescent blade, saving Guan Yu's life.
Guan Yu knew that his third brother's martial arts were on par with his, and his endurance was much better. Now, Lu Bu had been fighting for so long. Stamina was already a problem. Zhang Fei would definitely be able to defeat him. Knowing Lu Bu's bravery, he did not expect Zhang Fei to kill Lu Bu.
Thus, Guan Yu was relieved and prepared to leave. He was also a very arrogant person and disdained to fight with numbers. Moreover, in his current state, he could not help much.
Seeing Zhang Fei come up, Lu Bu was a little worried. This group of despicable fellows actually dared to use a wheel battle. Fine, if Guan Yu wants to leave, I won't let you have your way. I'll use you as a shield. After thinking about it, he dodged Zhang Fei's snake spear and rushed towards Guan Yu.
Guan Yu knew that he couldn't escape, so he turned around and raised his crescent blade to block Lu Bu's halberd.
Although Lu Bu was attacking Guan Yu, he had been paying attention to Zhang Fei behind him. Feeling his snake spear stabbing at his back again, he immediately held the halberd in one hand and swung it backward. With a "dang" sound, he blocked Zhang Fei's attack. Then, he raised the halberd above his head, spun it twice, and blocked Guan Yu's attack.
Following that, he urged the Red Hare Horse and directly passed Guan Yu, causing Zhang Fei's Snake Spear to miss again.
At this moment, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were standing in the same line. This was the result that Lu Bu wanted. No matter how fierce you are, you can't hit me with Guan Yu between us. I'll just attack Guan Yu and wait for you to save me.
Zhang Fei stood behind Guan Yu, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. Every time he wanted to avoid Guan Yu, Lu Bu would go around him from the other side. Guan Yu was also helpless. He wanted to run far away, but the two horses were circling around him. There was no chance at all.
Lu Bu was happy. This was like playing with a monkey. Therefore, he kept stabbing at Guan Yu's head, forcing him to raise his knife to block. Zhang Fei also helped to block because he was worried about his brother. With this opening, Lu Bu took the opportunity to stab his halberd at Zhang Fei. It forced Zhang Fei to panic again.
After a dozen rounds of fighting, he heard a voice from his formation."The thief is shameless. First, he used a wheel battle, and now he's fighting two against one. Wen Hou, Xu Huang is here to help you!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was amused. He was very casual now, and he had forced them into a panic. Was there a need for him to help? He turned around and saw that Xu Huang was only 20 years old. His face was young and tender, but judging from the way he was holding the axe, he was already in his prime.
It was good that he had come. He would give Guan Yu, who was about to be crippled, to him. He would attack Zhang Fei with all his strength and force Liu Bei out. He would see if he could take advantage of the chaos to kill him.
Another halberd strike forced Guan Yu to retreat a few steps. Lu Bu immediately urged his horse to rush in front of Zhang Fei, stabbing straight at Zhang Fei's pitch-black round face.
Zhang Fei was shocked. He thought that he was going to continue attacking Guan Yu and was about to go to his rescue. Unexpectedly, he suddenly attacked him again. He hurriedly raised his spear to block his crescent blade. The tip of the halberd was less than a fist away from his eyes.
Guan Yu wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Xu Huang had already rushed over. If he left now, his third brother would be finished. Seeing that Zhang Fei was in danger, he raised his saber and stabbed at Lu Bu. There was no time for him to raise his saber.
Lu Bu retracted his halberd and dodged Guan Yu's attack once again. Then, he stabbed at Zhang Fei with lightning speed.
If one were to talk about Zhang Fei's unique characteristic, it would be his imposing manner. He was able to take down the head of a general in an army of millions. If he did not have his imposing manner, he would definitely be drowned in the sea of people. Next was strength and endurance. Speed was his weakness. Of course, this weakness was only relative. Compared to others, Zhang Fei's speed could be considered terrifying.
By the time Xu Huang arrived, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei had already begun to exchange blows with each other. Guan Yu, on the other hand, was making trouble by the side, slashing at him from time to time. Xu Huang knew that Lu Bu had left him alone. Without saying a word, he borrowed the horse's speed to raise his axe and chop down on Guan Yu's head. Who asked him to wear such a conspicuous green hat on the battlefield?
The situation on the field became two against two, but the four of them would take advantage of the other party's block to attack another enemy. However, although Lu Bu and Zhang Fei had come to a draw, he was still able to do it with ease. From time to time, he would help Xu Huang, while Zhang Fei had already used all his strength. Although Guan Yu was exhausted, Xu Huang was still weaker than him. Furthermore, he was clearly inexperienced. Although he was less in offense and more in defense, the situation was not as dangerous as Zhang Fei's.
At this time, Liu Bei was anxious in the army. His two brothers had the courage to fight against ten thousand men. He thought that with them, he could also establish a peerless achievement, but he just had to meet Lu Bu here.
He absolutely could not let his two younger brothers die. Otherwise, he would have to return to the plains and become a small county captain. Now, it seemed that this young general who had just arrived was obviously a noob. He could help Guan Yu kill him, and then the three brothers could work together to kill Guan Yu. The three of them could also become famous.
With that thought, he immediately drew out his two swords and rode his horse out, shouting,"Second brother, third brother, this brother will also help you.”
What he didn't expect was that someone had the same idea as him. At the center of the formation, Xu Zhu received Cao Cao's order and charged out with his spear, shouting,"Lu Bu, don't be so arrogant. Today is the day you die.”
At this moment, two people jumped out of the dukedom formation. Everyone's faces turned red. It was two against one just now, but now it was four against two. Fortunately, we are the army of justice. Otherwise, we would have lost all our face. When he returned, he had to make it clear that no one was allowed to tell anyone about today's battle. Although we are thick-skinned, we have not reached the point of shamelessness!
