On one side were Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu.
On the other side were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Sun Jian.
Fortunately, Xu Zhu was injured and took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle. With five against six, they could still barely maintain a draw.
After all, the Western Liang army had been fighting for quite some time, especially Xu Huang. He was not as abnormal as Lu Bu and was already exhausted. Fortunately, his axe was not as heavy as the crescent blade, or he would have been in danger.
Seeing that the other side had sent two more fresh troops, Lu Bu was in a difficult position. He could still take on two or three people, but the four people behind him were in a difficult position. The old came, the young came, and only Zhang Liao was considered a relatively good fighter. Xu Huang should be exhausted by now. If he went back and asked him to come over, he would be able to become a first-rate general with more training. He would let him fight Guan Yu later. Since Guan Yu no longer had any attack power, he could use it to practice.
It should be easy for Zhang Liao to deal with Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Dun would be left to Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu. Zhang Ji had been fighting Guan Yu for a long time and had exhausted a lot of his strength. He would deal with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Sun Jian. Sun Jian seemed to be very strong, so he would come and meet him.
Facing off against his opponents once again, Xu Huang was once again in high spirits. Guan Yu was already showing signs of fatigue. As long as he could kill him, his reputation would skyrocket. Therefore, the axe in his hand danced. Guan Yu really wanted to leave the battlefield, but his big brother and third brother were both here. It would be too disloyal for him to leave. Looking at Fang Yue's corpse on the ground, he wanted to go over and take her spear to exchange for his crescent blade more than once. Fortunately, Xu Huang was not as experienced as Zhang Ji. His attacks were still relatively easy to defend against. He could also slash out from time to time, causing him to be flustered for a while.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu naturally had a tacit understanding of each other. They beat Xiahou Dun until he dodged left and right. He was even more embarrassed than when he faced Zhang Liao just now. He could only keep parrying. Only now did he realize that Zhang Xiu was actually so nimble. His spear technique was even more crafty. When he attacked with all his strength, he did not even let his horse off. Just as he wanted to teach Zhang Xiu a lesson, the old man beside him began to exert his strength. Actually, Zhang Ji was only in his early forties. However, in front of this group of 20-year-old young generals, he was indeed quite old.
Zhang Liao's martial arts skills were not that good, and he was still a little inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but against Xiahou Yuan, he was only half a catty against eight taels. After exchanging attacks for a long time, they actually began to attract each other. Although their attacks were fierce, they did not have much lethality. It was a typical case of not putting in any effort.
Although Sun Jian was skilled in martial arts, he could only use short weapons. Thus, Lu Bu did not pay much attention to him. Instead, he was more concerned about Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei's performance earlier was commendable, he did not look like a first-class general. Instead, he looked like he was handling an errand. As for Liu Bei, he completely ignored him. A casual strike from the halberd would cause him to retreat several steps.
Only when he fought with Sun Jian did Lu Bu feel surprised. He had underestimated him. As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. For him to be able to hold a short weapon like the ancient ingot knife, he naturally had something more powerful.
The ancient ingot saber was much longer than an ordinary saber, and it was very thick and heavy, making it look like a tiger.
Every time Lu Bu was dealing with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he would always get close to them and use his ancient ingot knife to smash at them. The first time Lu Bu blocked his attack, he suffered a hidden loss and his hands went numb from the impact. His blade was short, and his center of gravity was close to his body. Even if Lu Bu wanted to change the direction of his attack, he was powerless.
Zhang Fei was also focused at this moment. Every time Sun Jian attacked, he would immediately stab at him from the other side with his Snake Spear. Liu Bei was even more cunning, hiding behind Lu Bu and attacking the Red Hare. Fortunately, the Red Hare Horse was quite intelligent and would jump away in advance every time. However, it often made Lu Bu's attacks more troublesome.
At this moment, he really had the urge to kill Liu Bei. However, thinking about how he could create a lot of trouble for Cao Cao in the Central Plains, it was still not bad. However, the few wives he married were all pretty. Hehe, he couldn't let him have his way.
After blocking Zhang Fei's attack with his halberd, Lu Bu immediately pulled back and used the tail of the halberd to block Sun Jian's ancient ingot saber. He drew a large circle with the halberd, forcing the three of them to retreat several steps. Lu Bu then charged at Sun Jian. Sun Jian's saber was too annoying. He could attack and defend. Although it was short, it was very heavy, so its defensive ability was quite good.
Lu Bu stabbed straight at Sun Jian's face, clashing with him. Then, he swept over and compared strength with Sun Jian again. He was a two-handed weapon. No matter what, he had an advantage over him.
Sure enough, these two hits were already Sun Jian's limit, and blood had already begun to flow from his thumb and forefinger. Only now did he feel how powerful Lu Bu was. He attacked again, but he had to conserve 30% of his strength.
After Lu Bu relaxed, he started to consider whether he should give Sun Jian some mementos to take back. After all, he was the prefect of Changsha, and he would have to fight Liu Biao when he returned. He could not let him die too early.
Liu Bei was going to Qingzhou next, so he had to chase him away so that he wouldn't cause trouble for Chen Gong and Zang Ba. Right, beat Zhang Fei up and send them all to Jingzhou to cause trouble in the south. However, this made Cao Cao relaxed. Forget it, let Er Yuan deal with him. The two of them should be able to give him a lot of trouble.
Lu Bu didn't dare to think about it anymore. After all, he was still in a life-and-death battle. He collected his thoughts and threw himself into the battle again. Seeing Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei brandishing their weapons at him, he immediately used the crescent blade to block Zhang Fei's Snake Spear. Then, he moved to the left, just in time to block Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife. When Liu Bei's sword was about to reach him, he used an iron plate bridge and lay on the horse's back, using the halberd's tail to block the sword.
The four weapons were placed together and they began to fight with all their strength. This time, Lu Bu was at a disadvantage. No matter how strong he was, he could not fight against the strength of three generals. He was lying on his horse, and he had to use his strength from both front and back.
After enduring for a while, the halberd's body was getting lower and lower. Seeing that this was not a solution, Lu Bu hurriedly twisted the halberd's body, causing the three of them to turn around. The weapons were also separated.
The three of them got the hang of it and immediately adjusted their distance before attacking together again. This time, Lu Bu didn't make any mistakes. He used the joint between the halberd and crescent blade to block Zhang Fei's Snake Spear. He spun twice and attacked Sun Jian with the Snake Spear. Then, he suddenly withdrew his halberd and attacked Liu Bei's long sword. Fortunately, Zhang Fei was much more cautious this time. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately withdrew his spear. Even so, Sun Jian was scared half to death. He had already retracted his saber and protected it in front of his chest. He had seen it clearly just now and was prepared for this move.
Taking advantage of Zhang Fei retracting his spear and Sun Jian's attention on the tip of his spear, Lu Bu immediately thrust out his halberd and pierced through Sun Jian's thigh. Fortunately, he did not use the crescent blade. Otherwise, his leg would have been broken.
Sun Jian endured the pain and attacked again, aiming straight for the Red Hare Horse's face, forcing Lu Bu to retreat. Only then did he cover his wound and retreat.
Without Sun Jian, the pressure on Lu Bu was greatly reduced. He directly faced Zhang Fei, launching a series of fierce attacks. Only when Liu Bei swung his sword would he turn around to block, then continue to attack Zhang Fei. This gave Liu Bei the illusion that if Lu Bu stopped attacking him, he would be famous if he took advantage of his lack of vigilance and cut him down or even cut off his head.
Of course, he was only thinking about it for a moment. He was not stupid enough to get close to Lu Bu. After all, he was a timid person, and he did not want to follow in the footsteps of the three people on the ground. However, his attacks became more and more frequent.
Lu Bu had repelled Zhang Fei's attack. While Liu Bei was rushing forward to attack, Lu Bu turned around and sat on the Red Hare, using his halberd to push away Zhang Fei's sword. Taking advantage of his shock, he raised his halberd and stabbed it towards Liu Bei's crotch. After a moment of stirring, he withdrew his halberd and blocked Zhang Fei's attack.
Liu Bei let out a loud howl, then fell off his horse and bent over like a huge lobster.
This shocked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu and Xu Huang were still fighting feebly, waiting for the bell to ring. At this moment, seeing his big brother lying on the ground, he did not know if he was dead or alive. He immediately unleashed his potential and sent Xu Huang back a few steps with a single strike. Then, he galloped towards Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei was even more furious. He knew that Liu Bei was only injured, but the place where he was injured was where a man's dignity lay. He knew that Lu Bu had done it on purpose. Otherwise, he would have stabbed Liu Bei in the chest. He shouted loudly and immediately thrust his spear towards Lu Bu's chest as if he was risking his life.
Although the dukes did not know what had happened on the mountain, they saw Sun Jian clutching his thigh as he ran back. Liu Bei was lying there, dead or alive. He knew that something was wrong. Cao Cao did not dare to wait any longer, afraid that his three generals would be injured again. He immediately led his army down. When the other dukes saw this, they also rushed down.
Lu Bu blocked Zhang Fei's Snake Spear and saw that the dukes had already led their troops down, while Guan Yu had also raised his saber and charged towards him. Hurriedly, he used his strength to pick up the Snake Spear and turned around to run towards Zhang Liao while calling out to the generals to immediately enter the pass.
Dong Zhuo, who had closed the gate, also called off his troops. After all, he had the upper hand. Lu Bu had already killed or injured five or six people. Moreover, there were only ten thousand cavalrymen in the pass. It would be too late to send troops out to form up. It was better to withdraw the troops and take care of them from a high position.
Lu Bu forced Xiahou Yuan back and then charged at Xiahou Dun, scaring him into running back. After saving the generals, he immediately called for the cavalry to rush back into the pass.
(Many of my friends commented that the first chapter was too bad, so they will upload a sci-fi style opening at around 11 o'clock tonight. Everyone can take a look at it then.) Please continue to vote, thank you.)
