Chapter 506: The Battle at Hulao Pass
"Okay, quickly call General Pan to fight!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand, and Pan Feng immediately walked out of the team with his hands clasped together.
"I obey your command."
After saying that, Pan Feng called the soldiers, picked up his long-handled axe, and walked out of the camp in a leisurely manner.
A few minutes later.
"Alliance leader, Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong again."
As the rhythm of war drums increased, a soldier knelt in the field while reporting.
After these words were spoken, all the princes were stunned. No one expected that Pan Feng looked so confident, but in the end, this was it?
In addition to Pan Feng, two generals had already been killed by Hua Xiong. In addition, Pan Feng was the third one, so the princes could not help but look shocked.
Just when the morale of all the princes was low, Guan Yu's eyes, which had been half-closed, slightly opened. He was about to step forward to recommend himself, but Xia Yu, who was watching the fun, suddenly stood up.
"I have the unrivaled general Zhuge Liang, who can kill Hua Xiong with a warm cup of wine!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over. Guan Yu, who was originally ready to make a move, took a closer look and realized that it was his good friend who had fought together before, so he remained silent.
"Oh? Admiral Wushuang?"
Yuan Shao looked over curiously. Zhuge Liang saw that everyone was looking at him. Cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck and he thought to himself, "My lord has betrayed me."
Facing the inquiring gazes of the princes, Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and mount his horse, pick up his weapon and go into battle to fight the enemy!
In front of Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong led Dong Zhuo's elite Feixiong Army to guard here, blocking the offensive of the coalition forces.
At present, Hua Xiong is trying his best to hold off the coalition forces, and has successively killed many generals including Zu Mao of Sun Jian's army, Yu She of Yuan Shu's army, and Pan Feng of Han Fu's army, thus defeating all the other generals.
He then defeated the impulsive Sun Ce and forced Sun Jian's army to retreat. His military achievements were outstanding and he was invincible.
Of course, even though he was highly skilled in martial arts, Hua Xiong did not let his guard down. He looked cautiously at another general who was slowly approaching from the opposite side. The general was a handsome young man wearing red armor. He looked like a scholar rather than a general leading troops into battle.
However, Hua Xiong did not let his guard down. Judging people by their appearance is a big taboo. Just as he was about to step forward to meet the enemy, the jade-faced general opposite him suddenly shouted.
"Come and tell me your name. I will not kill nameless people!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, he was immediately furious: "Shameless boy, how dare you insult me here!"
After saying this, Hua Xiong was about to step forward, but Zhuge Liang's loud shout made him stop his horse suddenly.
"etc!!"
Zhuge Liang pointed his weapon in the distance and said, "You are a general of the Han Dynasty, but you helped Dong to commit atrocities. You are a shameless old thief. You are a dog with a broken spine. How dare you bark in front of our army!"
“You you you!!”
Hua Xiong was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. He said "you you" several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
" Shut up ! You old bastard, you old thief with gray hair and grey beard, you are about to die. How can you face the 23rd Emperor of the Han Dynasty? I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Ahhh! I'll kill you!!"
Because he had little education, Hua Xiong was so angry that he couldn't even say a word after being scolded by Zhuge Liang. He didn't even know how to refute. He was so angry that he broke down and rushed forward yelling.
Seeing Hua Xiong's furious look, Zhuge Liang felt relieved. This was the tactic he learned from Xia Yu.
That is, just trash talk before the battle, preferably until the enemy's defense is broken. In this way, the opponent will be very likely to reveal a flaw in the battle, and he will have the advantage.
However, this tactic is also very dangerous. If it fails to break the opponent's defense and instead makes the opponent angry and blood rush, then your side will be in trouble.
After all, if the defense is not broken, it is equivalent to giving the enemy a rage buff. Although he doesn't know what Xia Yu meant by buff, it should be similar to amplification.
After all, every time Xia Yu performed the amplification magic, he simply called it "upper buff".
Looking at Hua Xiong's flushed face and bulging veins, Zhuge Liang knew that the opponent must have been defeated, so he also stepped forward.
Although his position on Xia Yu's side is a military advisor, I don't know if Xia Yu has a misunderstanding about military advisors, and he actually said that a military advisor who cannot fight is not a good military advisor.
Then they trained him like a military general. Now, after so much time has passed, and with the magical skills he has learned, he actually has a certain combat capability.
At least he is not like other military advisors who are powerless.
In the blink of an eye, war horses came galloping, Hua Xiong holding the Flying Bear Spear, and fought directly with Zhuge Liang.
Feixiong Gangshu is a stick-type weapon, very suitable for fighting on horseback. Zhuge Liang's martial arts were taught by Xia Yu, so his weapon was the same as Xia Yu's, a ring-handled sword.
Although the ring-handled sword is also a weapon of cavalry, which is beneficial for cavalry to chop during a swift charge, Zhuge Liang gradually fell into a disadvantage when facing the highly skilled Hua Xiong.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about age, Hua Xiong is almost a generation older than him, so if a real fight came up, he would definitely not be the opponent's match as he does not have the combat experience.
clang!!!
Hua Xiong attacked with his stick again, and Zhuge Liang hurriedly blocked it with his knife. He was already unable to defeat him, and when his strength was depleted, this attack even knocked his weapon away.
Looking at his empty hands, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly: "Am I, Zhuge Kongming, going to die here? The heavens are so cruel to me!"
"Come on, stop being so frivolous here."
Xia Yu's voice suddenly rang out, and then a long sword flew over. It was Zhuge Liang's ring-handled sword that was knocked away.
The ring-handled knife flew straight towards Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was so scared that he hurriedly used the stick in his hand to block it, but the long knife slipped through the gap and pierced Hua Xiong's neck without any error.
The next moment, scarlet hot blood gushed out. Before Hua Xiong could reach out to draw his sword, another ring-handled sword flew over, and the tip of the sword pierced the tail of the first long sword.
With a "swish" sound, the tip of the ring-handled knife that pierced Hua Xiong's neck broke through his entire throat and directly pierced Hua Xiong's neck.
Hua Xiong opened his mouth wide and wanted to scream, but only blood foam came out of his mouth. Finally, he rolled off his horse unwillingly and died.
"My Lord, you have become stronger again."
Zhuge Liang stepped forward, pulled out his and Xia Yu's swords, and when he returned Xia Yu's sword to the other party, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"Am I strong? Actually, I'm not strong at all. It's just that you're too weak, so I look stronger."
Zhuge Liang: “…”
It’s hard, my fist is hard. If I could beat you, this clenched fist would have hit you in the face.
After taking two deep breaths, Zhuge Liang decided to ignore his lord. He was a scholar and would not argue with an illiterate person.
"Zhuge Country Man, are you secretly cursing me in your heart?" Xia Yu suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang and said softly.
"Ah? No, no, how could that be possible, my lord."
Zhuge Liang quietly wiped the cold sweat from his temples and changed the subject: "By the way, my lord, why did you come to the battlefield? Are you here to save me?"
"That's the reason, but the main reason is that the counterattack has begun. "
Xia Yu pointed his thumb at the attacking army behind him and said, "Those are Sun Jian's troops. Sun Jian knows that Hua Xiong cannot defeat me, so he has led his troops out of the city to fight. I am here to help him and take care of his silly son."
"Silly boy?"
"It's Sun Ce, Sun Bofu. He was almost defeated by Hua Xiong. Now he is leading his troops to fight to get back at his old self. Sun Jian is worried about his son, so he asked me to take care of him."
After saying that, Xia Yu held Zhuge Liang's shoulders and helped him turn around manually.
"You should go back to the camp first. The princes are having a feast right now. Go to Gongsun Zan's team and ask about a young general named Zhao Yun who rides a white horse and wields a silver spear. I know him and we have sworn brotherhood before."
After he finished speaking, Xia Yu suddenly leaned close to Zhuge Liang's ear and whispered, "Find a way to lure that young general Zhao Yun to our side. Whether it's to travel with us or to sleep on the same bed, it all depends on how you do it. Remember, you must lure him over!"
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Zhuge Liang looked at him in surprise: "My Lord, why do you want to swear brotherhood with even a young general? Is this your way of recruiting people?"
He did not forget that after Xia Yu lured him onto the pirate ship, he became sworn brothers with him not long after.
"That's not important, go back quickly."
Let’s talk. Xia Yu turned over, sat on his warhorse, and rushed directly to the battlefield.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang did not ask any more questions. After putting the ring-handled sword back into the scabbard, he jumped on his horse and ran towards the base camp.
He was still confident that he could persuade Zhao Yun, as he was a scholar and had excellent eloquence.
…
Since Dong Zhuo's side lost a powerful general, his army suffered defeat again. Those soldiers who were demonized by the elixir were also being eliminated bit by bit under the crushing of the allied army.
Although the princes had different thoughts and appeared to be united but were actually divided, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were still an alliance on the surface.
Besides, Luoyang has not been taken yet. Even if they have other ideas in their minds, they cannot realize them at the moment. They can only suppress their restlessness for the time being.
Soon, the coalition forces that wanted to recapture Luoyang encountered obstacles again.
The fierce general Lu Bu led 30,000 troops and stationed in Hulao Pass. Although he lost Hua Xiong, Lu Bu alone blocked the entire anti-Dong Zhuo coalition.
Furthermore, Lu Bu is the one defending the city. As long as he can defend the city, he will have nothing to worry about. Once all the elixirs from Luoyang are transported to Meiwu, he will retreat.
However, the coalition forces could no longer wait and had to attack the city by force. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang also joined in and became part of the siege team.
But the Lu Bu in the Wolong world is not comparable to the Lu Bu in other worlds. The Lu Bu in this world is proficient in both magic and martial arts. Even the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were defeated by him alone.
It truly achieved the goal of "the blood on the tip of the spear is not cold yet" and adding to the soul of the men on horseback.
The huge siege coalition force was completely annihilated like grass under his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
While Xia Yu was still outside the city gate, he had already seen the tall figure who was killing people indiscriminately in the city.
The figure is about 20 to 30 years old, wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton robe with flowers on his body, a chain mail with a beast mask and a lion belt around his waist; he carries a bow and arrow, holds a painted halberd, and rides a neighing red rabbit horse.
He is indeed Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses!
The helmet is of a half-face-covering style, and it seems that the owner of the helmet does not want others to see his face clearly. However, to those who are familiar with the matter, this is just a way of covering up one's own faults.
Seeing Lu Bu's gorgeous and majestic armor, Xia Yu shook his head. He hadn't seen his elder brother for a long time, and now he had become so coquettish.
As expected, when people become powerful, they will become more coquettish.
Xia Yu walked towards Lu Bu. The soldiers attacking the city were either fleeing or dying. Lu Bu had stopped chasing them at this time, and naturally saw Xia Yu walking towards him.
The moment he saw Xia Yu, Lu Bu's eyes opened slightly, as if he was a little surprised.
Xia Yu shouted, "I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances."
In response to Xia Yu's greeting, Lu Bu ignored it and his face was covered by the mask, so his expression could not be seen.
"Tsk, why are you pretending to be so cool? I can already see through you."
Xia Yu let out a light sigh and strode towards Lu Bu, walking faster and faster until he broke into a sprint, and he also pulled out the weapon at his waist.
Although he was thin, his indomitable momentum stunned Lu Bu. Lu Bu hesitated for a moment while riding on his Red Hare, but still raised his Fang Tian Huaji.
Just looking at the look in his eyes, it was obvious that he was not serious.
Xia Yu didn't care. He knew that Lu Bu would not really attack him because the other party valued everything in Tianzhu Mountain, otherwise he would not have gone down the mountain alone.
A long time ago, before Xia Yu was brought to Tianzhu Mountain, a brother and sister who were war orphans were taken in by Zuo Ci and brought back to Tianzhu Sect.
A few years later, by chance, his brother learned that Yu Ji intended to use elixirs to subvert the world. If Zuo Ci knew about this, he would definitely lead the disciples of Tianzhu Sect, including his sister, to launch a full-scale war against Yu Ji, who led the demon army.
In order to protect his sister and his sect, the young man decided to assassinate Yu Ji on his own, so he covered his face, changed his name to Lu Bu, and sneaked into the court filled with evil spirits.
When he found out that the elixir fell into Dong Zhuo's hands, he gained Dong Zhuo's trust with his bravery. In this way, Lu Bu approached the elusive Yu Ji step by step.
Although Xia Yu went up the mountain a little later than Lu Bu and his sister, he did not stay up too long at night, so he could be said to have grown up with these two siblings.
Therefore, Xia Yu was sure that Lu Bu would not want to kill him, but in order to make such an arrogant man like Lu Bu bow his head, he had to defeat him.
The wind was whistling in his ears, Xia Yu gripped his sword tightly and rushed straight towards Lu Bu.
Seeing that Xia Yu didn't even ride a horse, Lu Bu snorted coldly, jumped off his Red Hare, dragged his Fang Tian Huaji, drew flames on the ground, and rushed towards Xia Yu.
clang——!
The two weapons collided with each other, flames flew up and down, and vital energy flowed. In just a few seconds, the two men had already exchanged several moves.
Suddenly, the two men staggered apart, and Lu Bu looked at him in surprise. He never expected that Xia Yu could fight with him for several moves without being defeated.
Xia Yu laughed and said, "How's that! The little brat who used to follow you can now fight with you!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu's mouth curled up slightly, as if he recalled some beautiful scenes, but he quickly came to his senses and snorted coldly.
"Humph, still a long way off!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Bu raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and pushed it toward the ground like a pole vault, making himself jump high into the air. Then he raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji high again and smashed it down hard.
A raging flame was burning on the tip of the huge halberd, as if a meteorite fell from the sky with great force and heft.
Faced with this seemingly unmatched move, Xia Yu did not dodge. If the volunteers could defeat Lu Bu in the game, then he could definitely do it in reality.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu circulated the true energy in his body, wrapped his whole body with the water attribute of the Five Elements Magic, then twisted his waist fiercely on the spot and kicked towards the halberd of the Fang Tian Huaji.
