Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 44: Patient Lu Bu
Liang Gang and Li Feng were shocked and at a loss when they saw Le Jue fighting against an unknown general from Qu'a and losing the upper hand after only three rounds of fighting. If it was Lu Bu, they wouldn't mind a Huainan version of the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu, but now it was just an unknown general...
Without giving the two men much time to hesitate, Taishi Ci pierced Le Jiu's helmet, and he was lucky to escape by shrinking into his shell!
Seeing this, Liang Gang and Li Feng no longer cared about their face. They started their engines and rushed towards the battle.
"Don't be so arrogant, General Liang Gang, the general of Huainan, is here!"
"Don't cheat, I, Li Feng, will come to meet you!"
Taishi Ci ignored the two men's distortion of right and wrong, and did not scold them for their three against one behavior. He simply shook his spear, threw off Le Jiu's helmet, and then calmly raised his spear and waited for the three men to surround him...
The other two men were also wearing gilded armor - just as Lu Bu said, the gilded military talisman became very easy to obtain.
Real masters like Taishi Ci and Gan Ning also benefited from it, and it won’t be long before they can break through to gold and jade!
Even now, even if it is the same gilded armor, there are huge differences, from the function of the armor itself, to the equipped warhorse and weapons, to the strength itself... the span is huge.
The engine required for the armor is actually also a "warhorse", but after being trained by Shirohime, this kind of special and powerful warhorse can be loaded onto the armor and become an engine.
The quality of the trained "war horses" is more related to the quality of the horses - Lu Bu's Red Hare engine is the best example, which was trained by the Xiliang Horse King!
The weapons of the same armor are actually just ordinary weapons and bows and arrows. At most, they are better made than those of ordinary soldiers. However, after being loaded onto the armor, they become black technology such as folding bows and laser blades...
Of course, the biggest difference is in "people". Taishi Ci is much stronger than the three Le Jius who broke through with the help of the chaos in the world!
If the mechas were not taken into consideration, and the three of them did not activate their military talismans and only used ordinary armor and handy weapons for "hand-to-hand combat", Taishi Ci could have dealt with them faster.
To use Bai Tu's analogy, it's like Taishi Ci, a silver saint wearing a silver armor, fighting two bronze saints wearing the same silver armor, and the other party is not the protagonist...
The reason why Le Jiu and the other two were so arrogant was because they had recently made a breakthrough to the Gilded Military Talisman. They thought they were quite skilled, but they were immediately taught a lesson by Taishi Ci.
Even though he was alone against three, Taishi Ci still had the upper hand. Li Feng held a long spear and Liang Gang's arms were both square shields, and they made shield-strike attacks. After the four of them had exchanged blows and clashed with each other for more than twenty times, Taishi Ci suddenly shouted loudly and continued with the previous accumulated force, acting on the center point of Liang Gang's right arm shield. With a strong poke from the long spear, the square shield was shattered!
"Ouch!" Liang Gang cried out in pain, and quickly covered his injured right arm with his left arm while stepping back.
Seeing that Taishi Ci's strength had worn out, Li Feng wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control Taishi Ci's spear. However, Taishi Ci clamped the spear with his right arm and reached for his right shoulder with his left hand - the huge shoulder armor on his right shoulder actually opened up, revealing the handle of the hand halberd!
Li Feng felt something was wrong when he saw the handle, so he threw away his shield and sword. When Taishi Ci pulled out his halberd, he only scratched his face...
As Liang Gang and Li Feng retreated, Le Jue lost his fighting spirit and fled in panic...
"Attack, attack!" Le shouted at the top of his lungs.
Fortunately, Le Jue's deputy had already issued an order when he saw the situation was not good. When he saw Le Jue calling for help, he did not hesitate and quickly led the troops forward to meet the three generals!
Seeing the three men about to join the vanguard, Taishi Ci snorted disdainfully, and with his left hand, he grasped the back half of the spear. At the same time, he extended the bow of the front half of the spear, stretched out his right arm and pulled...a laser arrow was formed.
"Watch out for the arrow!" Taishi Ci never shot an arrow from nowhere. He would clearly shout it out before shooting, and would let go after one breath.
However, Le Jiu and the other two were already as panic-stricken as dogs that had lost their homes, or they had all bet in their hearts that the person shot was not them, so they didn't even turn their heads.
A white light flashed by, and Le Jiu, who was about to return to the army, was pierced through the chest by Taishi Ci's "arrow". There was a transparent hole as big as a fist in his chest, and his armor was completely shattered...
Under inertia, he rushed forward for a while, then fell to the ground and died on the spot!
When the General of the Central Army of the vanguard army died, the 3,000 cavalrymen fell into chaos on the spot. Fortunately, the two Simas of the other departments were still there. Li Feng and Liang Gang kept comforting the officers and shouting "Taishi Ci shot an arrow in the back" and "avenge General Le", etc., and they were able to barely stabilize the situation again. However, their strength had been greatly reduced, with 30% of their 100% strength lost in vain.
At the same time, Taishi Ci "greedily" shot an arrow, and the enemy cavalry phalanx had already approached. The engine of the calf part of Taishi Ci's armor was suddenly weakened a lot and fell to the ground...
Ji-zao soldiers look like ordinary people, but they produce special radiation. When they are organized in large numbers, the accumulated radiation will weaken the generals and mechas within a certain range, so the two armies will usually leave some space when fighting each other.
Of course, even if the function of the armor is weakened, Taishi Ci is still able to dominate the enemy army in a short period of time - after all, Taishi Ci not wearing armor does not change the fact that he is a master. The armor only increases his strength, and even if the effect is suppressed now, it only reduces the increase.
And when the enemy's entire army was pressing forward, the gate of Qu'a city had already been opened. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry who were on standby in the city wall, led by Lu Bu, also rushed out and showed their fangs as soon as they met Yuan Shu's cavalry.
A simple cone formation with Lu Bu as the ramming angle directly broke up the enemy's formation and rescued Taishi Ci who had just been trapped in the enemy's formation.
"We have more people! Don't be afraid, stay calm! Just like in training, use the Crane Wing Formation, Spread Wings, go around to the left and right, and hit the enemy's wings!" Li Feng shouted the order.
However, the original vanguard General Le Jiu had been shot dead by Taishi Ci, Liang Gang was also injured, and the cavalry had lost their fighting spirit and their formation was in disarray.
Bai Tu could see it clearly from the top of the city wall—Crane Wing Formation? Spread Wings Formation? Why was one of its arms bent… It looked like a black tiger ripping out its heart?
Lu Bu looked around and found that there were only three formations of soldiers between him and Li Feng, and their formation was disorganized.
[It's so tempting...] Lu Bu turned his head with difficulty. He felt that if he made a little effort and led the Wolf Riders to charge again, he would be able to break through this irregular Crane Wing Formation. Then, with the acceleration of the Red Hare engine, the enemy general would definitely not be able to escape.
However, thinking of Chen Gong's strategy and the current situation, Lu Bu resisted the temptation and resolutely withdrew.
"Stop chasing! Sound the gong, sound the gong!" Li Feng shouted when he saw this.
There was actually a panicked column on the left wing, which even chased into the range of the defenders on the tower and received a wave of arrows in the face...
However, Liang Gang, whose arm was injured, discovered that the enemy defenders not only held short weapons and round shields - a combination that was not very offensive, but also had a low level of proficiency in bows and arrows!
This is not an act. After all, the training time is limited. Even for the Danyang soldiers, Chen Gong only made them master the three-point essence of the Qu'a spearmen, and several variations of the formation. How could they have the time to improve their proficiency in archery?
While Lu Bu was feeling somewhat depressed, he was also secretly glad that it was Taishi Ci who helped him in the battle, otherwise... if he didn't act well and ended up killing three people, the three thousand cavalrymen would surely collapse. Should he give chase or not?
If you don't chase after it collapses, even a fool would know that there is something fishy going on!
It would be nice to just destroy the vanguard army first, but if Zhang Xun gets scared and is determined to surround the city, the food stored in Qu'a may not be enough to burn the now wealthy Yuan Shu...
"My lord, there is no need to be depressed. Once Zhang Xun's army arrives, the precious halberd will naturally be stained with blood." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's sour face when he came back and smiled to comfort him.
