While Zhang Fei was happily killing, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba were complaining incessantly. Although they were in a situation where they could not win, after dragging on for so long, why hadn't Gao Shun's Breaking Ranks Camp attacked yet? [] If this continues, I'm afraid my side will be doomed today. The two of them were anxious, but Chen Gong was not idle either. He set up a battle formation facing Yang Lei, with Hao Meng and Hou Cheng beside him. The two armies faced off. Yang Lei didn't fight back. He really held his ground and waited for the right opportunity to attack. These people were anxious. Gao Shun and the Breaking Ranks Battalion, which was led by more than seven hundred people, were also watching closely. They hoped that Lu Bu would kill Huang Zhong quickly, and then they would launch a surprise attack with the Breaking Ranks Battalion. They would definitely be able to defeat Xiao Pei in one fell swoop. As for the enemy troops behind him, Chen Gong and the others would be able to fend them off. He wasn't worried because it was useless to worry. Right now, the entire battlefield was focused on the battle between Lu Bu and Huang Zhong.
Although Lu Bu was tired from the night, he was still in high spirits. Coupled with the anger in his heart, he fought Huang Zhong even more fiercely than before. However, Huang Zhong was able to kill Xiahou Yuan at the age of almost seventy. Although he had the right timing, the right place, and the right person at that time, it was still a testament to his martial prowess. Moreover, he was still young. If it was twenty years ago, Lu Bu might not have been his match. However, at this moment, the two of them had met a good opponent and were evenly matched in the battle formation. The more Lu Bu fought, the calmer he became. This old man could actually fight with him for more than fifty rounds without showing any signs of defeat. This would not do. He had to end this quickly. Otherwise, he would lose everything today. It seemed that he had to use his ultimate move. Lu Bu thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop, each move faster than the last. Huang Zhong's face was solemn as he countered every move. His mind became calmer and calmer. Lu Bu, who was known as the number one in the world, was indeed worthy of his reputation. No wonder he was able to defeat Guan Zhang alone at Tiger Cage Pass. His lord was defeated when he went into battle. In Puyang, he even fought against Cao Cao's six generals and retreated unscathed. If it weren't for this old man's strong martial arts, I'm afraid that I would have died in the battlefield after a few moves. However, I might have a chance to win. It's time to show off my unique skill. The two of them had the idea of using their trump cards. Their weapons clashed again. With a clang, the two horses missed each other and pulled apart the distance. Almost in the same movement, he put down his weapon, took out his bow, took out his arrow, nocked the bowstring, drew the bow, and turned his head to look at the moon. The arrows were like shooting stars, colliding with each other in front of the two people's stunned gazes. Both of them broke. Almost at the same time, the two people repeated the same action, taking out the arrows, pulling the strings, drawing the bows, and colliding again. Last time, it was unintentional, but this time, Huang Zhong did it on purpose. Both of their archery skills were outstanding, but ever since Huang Zhong had mastered archery, he had never met a match. Now, he was excited and wanted to compete with Lu Bu in archery. The winner was needless to say, but the loser would not be able to escape the disaster of an arrow piercing through his heart. The arrows connected and actually formed a line in the air. Not to mention the soldiers of the two sides who were watching the battle, even a general like Gao Shun revealed a trace of surprise. This was too exaggerated. Huang Zhong was too focused on his shooting that he reached out to grab something. However, he caught nothing. His quiver was empty. He was shocked, but he didn't see Lu Bu's arrow. He looked over and saw Lu Bu's shocked expression. It turned out that his quiver was also empty. This round of competition was a win-lose situation.
Just as the generals on both sides were stunned, Gao Shun recovered his usual calmness. With a wave of his hand, the Breaking Ranks Camp advanced, wanting to take advantage of the situation to charge into the formation. The soldiers led by Huang Zhong did not want to be outdone. The general waved his hand and the army pressed forward. At the same time, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu also took off their weapons, preparing to fight to the death. At this moment, Lu Bu's army suddenly fell into chaos. Then, they heard a loud shout,""Chen Gong has been captured. Those who surrender will be spared from death." Gao Shun turned around in shock and saw Chen Gong being held by Hao Meng and Hou Cheng. Yang Lei and Yang Yuting were ordering their soldiers to surrender. "Those who surrender will be spared death." The soldiers from the three sides of Liu Bei's army shouted at the same time. In an instant, even the weapons in the hands of the soldiers from the Breaking Ranks Camp trembled. The situation was already very obvious. Marquis Hao Meng had decided that the situation was unfavorable and had betrayed his side, capturing Chen Gong and surrendering. The general had surrendered, so naturally, Hao Meng and Hou Cheng's trusted subordinates also surrendered. They turned their weapons around and aimed at Lu Bu's army, who had been their comrades just a moment ago. At the same time, the battle on Zhang Fei's side had come to an end. Zang Ba's left arm had been slashed by a spear. He threw away his weapon and fled back to his own formation. Zhang Liao, on the other hand, retreated unscathed, but his expression was clearly tired. The army was already exhausted. Now, some of the generals had rebelled and some had been defeated. Even Lu Bu, who had always been regarded as a god in the army, had not killed the old soldiers. One could imagine the morale of the army. It was unknown who was the first to put down his weapon. Clang! Clang! Cao Xing shouted to stop him, but the morale of the army was gone. It was obvious that they were going to lose. Cao Xing's eyes turned red. He pulled out his sword and was about to kill the soldier who had put down his weapon and was about to escape to the other side when Wei Xu pulled him back. Cao Xing was furious." Don't tell me General Wei is going to defect to the enemy?" he shouted.”Wei Xu's face turned red." Now that the lord has lost his power," he said," if you kill the soldiers, I'm afraid they will panic even more."”Cao Xing was stunned for a moment. It seemed to make sense. Then, he thought of something and grabbed Wei Xu, shouting,"Nonsense. If he didn't kill them, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?”However, his other hand was still holding a sword. This was the problem. Wei Xu thought that he was going to kill him. Shocked, they hurriedly broke free and pulled out their swords. Immediately, their personal guards unsheathed their swords and glared at each other. At this moment, the collapse of Lu Bu's army had already become a general trend and was irreversible. The Breaking Ranks had already stopped their advance, and together with Lu Bu's personal guards, they protected Lu Bu. Yang Lei, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were only commanding small groups of troops to monitor the scattered small groups. Huang Xu even led 300 students to drive and monitor them. A moment later, only Lu Bu's personal guards remained from the original 10,000-strong army. There were 300 Bingzhou Steel Cavalry, 700 Breaking Ranks, 1,000 Zhang Liao and Zang Ba's subordinates, 500 Cao Xing's subordinates, and dozens of Wei Xu's personal guards. Apart from Hao Meng and Hou Cheng, who had surrendered to Yang Lei, the rest of the troops were scattered, especially the soldiers they recruited in Xiao Pei. The rest of them had followed Lu Bu from Yanzhou. Lu Bu looked at the remaining soldiers around him and a feeling of being a hero at the end of his life welled up in his heart. This place was probably where he would be buried. However, he would never see his wife and daughter again, and that beautiful face of Diao Chan. Liu Bei would treat them well. After all, Big Ear Liu was a very kind person. Lu Bu suddenly felt like laughing. He had thought that he could dominate the world with the Heavenly Halberd in his hand and the Red Hare Horse on his back. He had never thought that he would always be ruthlessly beaten to the ground when he was full of ambition. However, this time, he would never have the chance to turn things around again. More importantly, he had implicated his wife and daughter. If Big Ear Liu was here, he might still be able to live. As for that arrogant ring-eyed thief, Zhang Fei, who had long wanted to kill him, he might even have prepared his own grave. Lu Bu gripped the Heavenly Halberd tightly in his hand and couldn't help but look at the generals around him. The injured Zang Ba, the tired Zhang Liao, the angry Cao Xing, the frightened Wei Xu, and the determined Gao Shun. These were all his brothers who had gone through life and death with him. However, after this battle, perhaps only Gao Shun would be willing to die with him. It was a pity that he had never been able to use his talent even though he knew about it. Lu Bu shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. It seemed that he was not suited to be a duke. He was only suited to charge into battle.
"Wen Hou." A shout came from the other end. Lu Bu looked over. It was Yang Lei. Lu Bu gripped the Heavenly Halberd tightly in his hand, a cold smile on his face. Was he going to fight one-on-one? Even if he was in a very bad state, he wouldn't dare to provoke anyone. Just as Lu Bu was about to urge his horse forward, Yang Lei said loudly,""Wen Hou. My lord admires you for killing Dong Zhuo, thanks you for lifting the siege of Xuzhou, and admires Marquis Wen for his bravery and outstanding martial arts. Therefore, the court posthumously presented Xiao Pei and Wen Hou to station troops as reinforcements. However, when the Lord attacked Yuan Shu, Marquis Wen took advantage of the emptiness of Xuzhou and attacked at night. If we hadn't seen the opportunity early, I'm afraid Xuzhou would have been in Marquis Wen's pocket. Wouldn't Wen Hou be laughed at by all the heroes in the world for being so treacherous?”At first, Lu Bu felt that it was a good idea, but the last sentence made his heart ache. They had betrayed him. Hmph, if he didn't kill Ding Yuan, the cavalry of Bingzhou would have been gone. If he didn't kill Dong Zhuo, he would have lost his life. Moreover, he had to take back Diao Chan. If he didn't attack Xu Prefecture, he would be cannon fodder against Cao Cao in the future. Just as he was about to retort, he couldn't say a word. Cao Xing said angrily,"Dog thief, if you want to fight, then fight.”Yang Lei's expression did not change. He said coldly," Marquis Wen, my lord has always been benevolent and benevolent. Marquis Wen's power has already gone. Why don't you surrender earlier?" Firstly, it can save the lives of the soldiers. Secondly, Marquis Wen and the families of the generals can be reunited. Thirdly, we can assist our lord in the future and help the Han Dynasty. We will not live up to Marquis Wen's bravery.”Lu Bu was about to curse when he heard that Yang Lei wanted him to surrender, but when he heard Yang Lei's reasons, especially when he heard about the reunion, his heart softened. Looking at the generals around him, Wei Xu's eyes lit up. Even Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were hesitant. Zang Ba's face was still pale and his injuries were not clear. Only Gao Shun remained expressionless and determined. At this moment, these people were waiting for his orders. Yang Lei didn't urge him. He just waved his hand. With a creak, the city gate of Xiao Pei opened again. A horse galloped over, and a clear voice sounded,"Father." Hearing this, Lu Bu's body trembled violently, and his eyes widened. It was his daughter, Lu Lingqi. Liu Bei's army did not stop Lu Lingqi. Instead, he made way for her. Lu Bu's heart softened as he heard the word 'father'. He thought of Lady Yan, Lady Cao, and Diao Chan who were still waiting for him at home. Letting out a long sigh, Lu Bu let go of the halberd in his hand and charged towards his daughter. Lu Lingqi slowed down her horse and came closer. She said anxiously,"Father. Mother and YiNiang are all fine. I told you not to worry.”Lu Bu smiled bitterly. His daughter thought that this would be a consolation, but she didn't know that once she came out to see him, the battle would be over. The morale of the army would be scattered. Holding his daughter's hand, Lu Bu turned to Liu Bei and said dryly,""Lu Bu is willing to surrender.”Zhang Fei, who had been holding it in for a long time, wanted to laugh out loud when he heard this. However, he did not expect to see Yang Lei's cold gaze. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said,"Lu Bu, don't worry, I won't touch you. I'll talk to you in detail when my brother comes back.”
In this battle, Lu Bu's army surrendered. Zhang Fei scattered the surrendered troops, and Lu Bu's generals and family members were moved to Xuzhou. - Book of the Eastern Han Dynasty
