Chapter 67: Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu
That night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear.
After a hearty meal, Hua Xiong's army left Hulao Pass under the cover of night and arrived at Sun Jian's camp at midnight. In order to catch the enemy off guard, they headed straight for the camp without any pause.
The camp was quiet at this time.
Sun Jian's troops were short of food and their morale was low. As soon as it got dark, the soldiers went to bed early.
You won’t be hungry when you fall asleep.
Hua Xiong's army rushed in and many soldiers lost their lives in their sleep.
After a while, Li Su arrived with the rear army and started to set fires everywhere in the camp. The flames shooting up into the sky completely disturbed the soldiers' minds, and the camp was in chaos.
Flames broke out and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Sun Jian led his troops to flee in panic, and Hua Xiong's army was defeated.
Just as the fighting between the two sides entered the daytime, the mercenaries who had been keeping a low profile finally revealed their cold fangs in the darkness.
"kill!"
Led by the two masters Chu Zhongliu and Bao Bufan, five thousand mercenaries rushed out to fight.
Chu Zhongliu rode alone and took on Hua Xiong.
Bao Bufan led a group of elites, took advantage of the chaos, quietly changed into Hua Xiong's clothes and armor, and continued to hunt down Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others.
He plays very well.
Sun Jian and Hua Xiong were both shocked and confused.
Hua Xiong was shocked, thinking that he had fallen into an ambush and that the enemy had been prepared for it, and he felt secretly bitter.
Sun Jian was shocked.
That's really shocking.
There were both Hua Xiong's troops and foreign mercenaries chasing after Sun Jian. Sun Jian had never met these foreigners before, so how could he know that they were his own people?
Thinking they were all Hua Xiong's troops, they fled in panic.
Amid the chaos among the three parties, Chu Zhongliu was the first to achieve success. With his peak blood exchange skills, he stabbed Hua Xiong to death with a single spear.
Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others were also surrounded and killed one after another by Bao Bufan and others. To this day, in terms of individual combat power, elite players have surpassed the first-class generals of the Three Kingdoms.
The lethality is extremely shocking.
The two sides fought until dawn, and Li Su led the remaining troops back to Hulao Pass.
For Dong Zhuo's army, although their main general Hua Xiong was killed in this battle, they killed Sun Jian, Cheng Pu and others in one fell swoop and defeated Sun Jian's army, which was already a huge profit.
Li Su was a treacherous man. He took all the credit for himself without hesitation and reported the victory to Luoyang to ask for credit.
Similarly, due to the deaths of major generals such as Sun Jian and Huang Gai, Sun Jian's troops were leaderless, so Chu Zhongliu stepped forward and trained his troops as the Sima of another army.
Chu Zhongliu killed Hua Xiong and established his reputation, which was also a revenge for Sun Jian, so the reorganization went smoothly. Afterwards, statistics showed that although Sun Jian's troops suffered casualties, the main force was still there, with more than 10,000 people left.
It was equivalent to accepting Sun Jian's inheritance, so naturally it was a big profit.
For players like Bao Bufan, killing Sun Jian and others already made them legendary, and successfully helping Chu Zhongliu to ascend to the top, which also made them a lot of money.
With this handle, Bao Bufan and others don't have to worry about Chu Zhongliu being "killed when the cunning rabbit dies".
The two sides thus formed a relatively solid alliance of interests.
In this way, after the great battle, it seemed that all three parties benefited and all thought they were the victorious party. Only people like Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, and Huang Gai died more unjustly than Dou E.
Afterwards, Chu Zhongliu sent someone to inform Yuan Shao.
…
When Yuan Shao received the report, he was shocked, "I never thought that Wen Tai would be defeated by Hua Xiong."
He hurriedly summoned all the princes to discuss the matter.
Qin Mo sat in the first seat on the left, his face expressionless but full of emotion in his heart.
Before coming, he had already roughly figured out what happened that night through Li Bingyun. It could be said that it was both unexpected and reasonable.
Any top player is as powerful as a first-rate general in the Three Kingdoms.
The inherent balance of the Three Kingdoms has been broken.
Unfortunately, the natives of the Three Kingdoms are unaware of this and still consider themselves superior. They do not take the players seriously and control official positions, resources, and power, which leads to conflicts.
The longer the player suppresses his emotions, the more violent the outburst will be.
Authority is meant to be broken.
The drama directed by Bao Bufan was quite brilliant, and the timing was very well chosen. Except for the players, no matter how hard the natives tried, they would not be able to figure out the mystery.
They all thought it was Hua Xiong's army that did it.
After discussion, the princes decided to lead the entire army forward, heading straight for Hulao Pass, seeking a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo's army.
…
The other side.
Dong Zhuo was delighted when he received the good news, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
Especially when he learned that the coalition forces of the princes had left their base camp in Chenliu County, Dong Zhuo immediately, at the suggestion of his adviser Li Ru, mobilized an army of 200,000 and stationed it at Hulao Pass.
When the army arrived at the pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to lead 30,000 troops to set up a large camp in front of Hulao Pass.
Thought it was an outpost.
Three days later, the coalition forces of the princes arrived ten miles in front of Hulao Pass and also set up a large camp.
The two armies confronted each other.
The next day, Lu Bu, confident of his bravery, went out of the camp to challenge the enemy.
Good Lu Bu!
He was seen wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red brocade robe with flowers on it, a chain mail with a beast mask and a head-swallowing armor on it, a lion-shaped belt around his waist, a bow and arrow with him, a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and riding a neighing red rabbit horse.
It is true: "Lü Bu among men, Red Hare among horses!"
On the high hill opposite, Yuan Shao, Qin Mo and other princes set up their central military tent.
Yuan Shao sat in the middle and said in a deep voice: "Who dares to fight?"
A man jumped out from behind him, clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to go!" It was Wu Kui who had always followed Yuan Shao.
Among Du, Chu and Wu, Du Shihao was already a vassal lord, and after the battle that night, Chu Zhongliu had already replaced Sun Jian and also became a vassal lord.
How could Wu Kui, who was lagging behind, not be anxious?
Seeing Lu Bu challenging him to a fight, he immediately volunteered, also hoping to become famous in one battle.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and ordered Wu Kui to take action.
The two armies faced each other, beating drums to cheer, with flags waving, creating a very lively scene.
Wu Kui rode out on his horse, wielding a large sword, which was most suitable for horse fighting. Without wasting any words, he and Lu Bu introduced themselves to each other and started fighting immediately.
After fighting for more than fifty rounds, Wu Kui gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Qin Mo had already used his divine eye technique to see that although Lu Bu had also completed his blood transfusion and reached the peak of body building, his blood and energy were obviously higher than Wu Kui's, and were comparable to the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Art" that he had cultivated to the eighth level.
It can be seen that he is indeed extremely talented.
Lu Bu and other generals of the Three Kingdoms practiced martial arts, but because they had no real practice methods, the body-building stage was their ceiling and they could not make any further progress.
Unless one can turn acquired nature into innate nature like Qin Mo.
How difficult is it?
Seeing Wu Kui suffer a setback, Chu Zhongliu, who was watching the fight, had an idea and shouted, "I'll help you." Then he mounted his horse, held a spear in his hand, and rushed out to kill the general.
But there is no need to ask Yuan Shao for instructions.
Chu Zhongliu went into battle this time not to help Wu Kui, but to use this battle to demonstrate his strength in front of the other princes and eliminate the hidden danger of him annexing Sun Jian's forces.
In order to gain recognition from the likes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
This is also very important.
“Good job!”
Facing the pincer attack from Wu Kui and Chu Zhongliu, Lu Bu became more and more excited, his aura continued to rise. Qin Mo faintly smelled a hint of the true meaning of martial arts.
Really inhuman...
Qin Mo knew that Wu Kui and Chu Zhongliu alone could not defeat Lu Bu.
Do you want to take action?
Qin Mo was a little hesitant. With his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, going to fight Lu Bu, especially when Lu Bu was being attacked from both sides, it seemed like he was bullying the weak no matter how he looked at it.
It’s so bullying!
As a thousand-year-old demon, Qin Mo also has to have some dignity.
