"Wen Hou, more than half of our army has fled, and the morale of our army is in chaos!”
"I'm afraid we can't take down Shouchun City. Shouldn't we return to Hefei City first?”
Cao Xing carefully reminded.
Lu Bu's expression changed." Shouchun City must be taken!" he shouted angrily." Pass down my order! The army will break camp immediately and continue to attack Shouchun City!"”
Cao Xing's expression turned cold. He wanted to persuade her, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Right now, our army still has fifteen thousand soldiers. Our numbers are even greater than Liu Bei's, so we still have a sixty percent chance of winning.”
"If we retreat now, the soldiers will definitely continue to flee halfway. When we return to Hefei, the fifteen thousand soldiers will probably have fled as well.”
"At that time, we will just be waiting for death!”
Lu Bu was clear-headed as he gritted his teeth and voiced out his difficulties.
Cao Xing suddenly understood and said," Although we have more troops than the enemy, Liu Wu has his white horse followers and Zhang Liao's rebel cavalry from Bingzhou. Our army is all infantry. I'm afraid we might not have a chance of winning."”
"The White Horse Yi Cong is not invincible. Back then, he was defeated by Ju Yi's First Ascendant Army. Our army only needs to imitate the Battle of the World Bridge and equip enough heavy crossbows.”
"As for that Zhang Liao, I didn't teach him the essence of the assault cavalry. His Bing Prefecture assault cavalry is just for show, not to mention a threat.”
"I still have the advantage in this battle!”
Lu Bu's face was full of arrogance and conceit. He led the white horse Yi Cong and Bingzhou's cavalry as if nothing had happened.
Cao Xing was speechless and did not dare to persuade him.
Lu Bu's eyes were burning with fire as he said proudly," The big-eared thief thought that he could force me to retreat with a little trick. I will make sure that his scheme falls through!"”
Thus, the 15,000 Lu soldiers set off on the same day and continued to march towards Shouchun.
…
Shouchun City.
The news of Lu Bu continuing to the North had already reached Liu Wu's hands.
"He hasn't fled back to Hefei even after half of his men have fled. It seems like our Wen Hou won't turn back until he hits a brick wall.”
Liu Wu sneered and showed the information in his hands to the generals.
Chen Deng analyzed," Lu Bu must have predicted that our army has just obtained Shouchun and the soldiers who surrendered have yet to be reorganized. We still have less than 10,000 soldiers available. He wants to take advantage of the advantage of having more soldiers and go all out!”
"The servants of the three surnames came at the right time!"
Zhang Fei jumped up, his face full of disdain.
"We have Zilong's white horse followers and Wen Yuan's cavalry. The morale of the soldiers is high, so why should we be afraid of him having too many soldiers?”
"Since he's here to die, let's fulfill his wish!”
Zhang Fei was in charge of the battle.
Zhao Yun said," The nemesis of the White Horse Righteous Army is the crossbowmen. Lu Bu is a famous general of the current era. He will definitely equip the army with a large number of heavy crossbows to guard against them. I'm afraid that the White Horse Righteous Army will not be able to show its might in this battle."”
"Zilong is right. The cavalry of Bingzhou are also afraid of heavy crossbows. We can't be careless in this battle.”
Zhang Liao said worriedly.
Zhang Fei's battle intent was like being splashed with cold water, instantly weakening.
"Then, according to what you said, we might not have a hundred percent chance of winning this battle?”
Zhang Fei scratched his head and started to worry.
"Who said that there is no 100% chance of winning this battle!”
Liu Wu, who had been silent all this while, spoke confidently, interrupting the generals 'worries.
The generals suddenly raised their heads and looked at Liu Wu.
"I already have a plan to defeat the enemy!"
"You don't have to worry. Tomorrow, we will send out all our troops to fight Lu Bu!”
Liu Wu waved his hand and gave the order.
The generals cheered up, but their eyes were filled with deep curiosity.
"Big brother, what brilliant plan do you have this time?" Zhang Fei was excited and asked curiously.”
"Don't be anxious. We'll see tomorrow.”
A strange look flashed across Liu Wu's eyes, but it whetted their appetite.
The generals didn't ask any more questions and could only raise their spirits to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
…
The next day, the sun was setting in the west.
Ten thousand soldiers of the Liu Army were lined up behind the city wall.
In the opposite direction.
More than 15,000 Lu soldiers marched along the east coast of Feishui.
The two armies were two hundred steps apart, forming a confrontation.
"Your father, Lu Bu, has come to die.”
Liu Wu raised his whip and pointed at the flag with the word "Lu". He glanced at Lu Lingqi beside him.
In order to disintegrate her spiritual will, Liu Wu had specially asked her to watch the battle today.
Lu Lingqi looked around and quickly estimated that Lu Bu had more soldiers than Liu Wu.
"If I'm not wrong, my father has more soldiers than you.”
"I'm afraid we don't know who will die in this battle.”
Lu Lingqi glanced sideways at Liu Wu, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with conceit.
"It seems that you are very confident in your father." Liu Wu asked with a calm expression.”
"Liu, what you rely on is nothing more than the white horse's loyal followers and the Lu family's cavalry assault tactics. My father has suffered a few losses, so it's impossible for him not to be on guard.”
"You are indeed intelligent, but in a head-on confrontation like this, no tricks will work. I don't believe that you can defeat my father!”
Lu Lingqi was quite talented and could see the strengths and weaknesses of Liu Wu's troops.
She did not hide the pride she had for her father.
"Since you have so much confidence in Lu Bu, do you dare to bet with me?" Liu Wu sneered.”
"Bet?"
Lu Lingqi looked doubtful." What do you want to bet on?”
"Let's bet on who wins this battle.”
"If Lu Bu wins, I will give you your freedom and allow you to come and go as you please.”
"If you lose, you better put away your reserved and unyielding attitude and obediently become my concubine!”
Liu Wu said.
When she heard the word "concubine", Lu Lingqi's body trembled and her face immediately became dizzy.
"My father is his mortal enemy, yet he still wants to force me to be his concubine.”
"However, if Commander Father wins, I might really be able to obtain my freedom and no longer need to be humiliated by him…"
Lu Lingqi's thoughts raced as she weighed the pros and cons.
A moment later.
She suppressed her embarrassment and snorted."Alright, I'll make a bet with you. I hope you won't go back on your word when the time comes!”
Liu Wu didn't bother to say anything more. His cold gaze turned back to the enemy formation.
That gaze and aura seemed to indicate that victory was already in their grasp.
Lu Lingqi looked at his confident figure and suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"If he was Liu Bei, he would not have won this battle.”
"But it's very likely that he isn't Liu Bei!”
"With his intelligence and military strategy, since he dares to bet with me, does he really have a way to win?”
"Could it be that I underestimated him?"
Lu Lingqi's mind was racing, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
At this moment.
facing the Lu army's formation.
Lu Bu, holding the Heavenly Halberd in his hand, rode out of the battle on his horse, riding on a red rabbit.
He drew his halberd and pointed it out." Lu Bu is here! Where is Liu Bei?" he shouted.”
The number one general in the world was right in front of him.
This shout was like thunder in their ears, shaking the scalps of Liu Jun's soldiers.
Lu Bu was provoking them.
How could Liu Wu show weakness? He immediately rode out of the formation and said loudly,"Lu Bu, do you want to surrender?”
