#351 - Courage enough to influence the outcome of a battle
Trading injury for injury, life for life!
This kind of fighting style is undoubtedly the best choice for the weak to restrain the strong.
However, the gap between Lu Bu and Fang Yue is so great that sacrificing one's life is clearly not enough.
Faced with the spear thrust from Fang Yue's hand, Lu Bu raised his left hand, casually deflecting the spear with the arm armor on the back of his left hand.
Moreover, upon impact, Fang Yue even felt a tremor constantly surging towards his arm along the spear shaft, leaving him no time to change his move and attack Lu Bu.
'The gap is actually this big…'
Fang Yue only had time to think of this one thought before the Fang Tian Halberd, so close at hand, heavily struck his shoulder.
The fish scale armor worn by Fang Yue could not withstand this blow at all.
The terrifying brute force, combined with the Fang Tian Halberd's sharpness, directly cleaved Fang Yue in two from his shoulder down to his waist, causing him to die on the spot.
This scene not only greatly shocked the soldiers led by Wang Kuang, but also made Wang Kuang, who was already fleeing on horseback, feel as if his liver and gallbladder were splitting apart.
Wang Kuang could be considered a military general, and he often sparred with Fang Yue in private, knowing that Fang Yue's spear skills were far above his own.
But even though Wang Kuang knew that Lu Bu possessed unparalleled courage, he never expected that Fang Yue would not even last one exchange against Lu Bu.
As this last glimmer of hope dissipated, Wang Kuang broke out in a cold sweat and frantically whipped his horse's flanks, urging his steed to accelerate and flee towards the allied forces.
Lu Bu, who had killed Fang Yue with a single blow, did not dwell on such a defeated foe, but continued towards Wang Kuang's direction with almost no pause in speed.
If three thousand scattered soldiers, frightened out of their wits, stood in his way, then he would simply roll over them.
Lu Bu, single-handedly charging into the midst of the three thousand soldiers, displayed an invincible posture, leaving a trail of blood wherever he went.
The Fang Tian Halberd swept across, leaving behind only severed limbs and broken bones.
Following closely behind Lu Bu, the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry plunged fiercely into the gap torn open by Lu Bu.
Rout!
Clearly, the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry led by Lu Bu numbered only three thousand.
But in such a short period of time, the three thousand soldiers under Wang Kuang had already completely collapsed.
The general was killed, and the formation was easily torn to pieces…
Lu Bu almost single-handedly broke through, and then continued to pursue Wang Kuang.
This scene also caused many allied lords to look pale, fearing the amazing martial prowess displayed by Lu Bu.
This truly meaningful scene of personal courage influencing the battle situation seemed to awaken some kind of memory hidden in the Han people's blood.
Has Xiang Yu come back to life?
Even Li Ji, watching, unconsciously stopped the folding fan he had been using to fan himself.
Li Ji had seen peerless warriors before.
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could all be called peerless warriors.
However, neither Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, nor Zhao Yun had ever displayed such amazing lethality and breakthrough power when facing a military formation.
The Bing Province Wolf Cavalry, as light cavalry, had limited impact force in itself, but under the premise that Lu Bu had opened a large gap alone, they were able to fully utilize their balanced and entanglement-proficient abilities.
By the time the allied lords reacted, Lu Bu had already pierced through the military formation alone, closing the distance with Wang Kuang at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Based on the distance, Wang Kuang clearly could not run back.
If it were a common general, death would be the end of it.
But Wang Kuang could at least be considered a minor lord among the allied forces, and also a minor lord who had clearly sided with Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao hurriedly shout.
"Quick, who will go out and stop Lu Bu, save Wang Gongjie."
However, the strength of Lu Bu's martial prowess was so great that almost all the lords who had sided with Yuan Shao were silent.
Just then, Lu Bu, who was still a hundred paces away from Wang Kuang, hung the Fang Tian Halberd in his hand, picked up a strong bow, pinched an arrow and placed it on the bowstring, pulling it back.
Almost without seeing Lu Bu aim, the strong bow was already fully drawn, the smooth movements were done in one go.
"Hit!"
With Lu Bu letting out a low shout, an arrow went towards Wang Kuang like a shooting star.
By the time Wang Kuang heard the clear trembling sound of the bowstring, he only felt a pain in his chest. The arrow crossed a hundred paces, still piercing through his armor and directly shooting Wang Kuang through.
Wang Kuang looked down in disbelief, and then his body softened, only to fall off his horse, while the unknowing steed continued to run forward.
This shot of riding archery that pierced the willow leaves at a hundred paces made many lords almost instinctively gasp in a cold breath, and vaguely felt a chill in the back of their necks.
Among them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were staring at Lu Bu, clearly revealed a dignified look.
Lu Bu's ability to break formations and shoot from afar was something that even the arrogant Guan Yu and the reckless Zhang Fei had to admit they were inferior to.
Even Zhao Yun's expression was more serious than ever before, and the humble smile that he usually habitually wore on his face unconsciously converged.
At this moment, Lu Bu's position was only about four hundred paces away from the allied lords.
Riding the Red Hare horse, Lu Bu glanced at the lords and the two hundred thousand troops, the expression on his face was frivolous and domineering, and he slowly moved forward, waving his halberd to chop off Wang Kuang's head and tie it to the Red Hare horse.
At this moment, Lu Bu seemed to be explaining something with his actions.
Taking the head of an enemy general from among thousands of troops is as easy as taking something out of a bag!
This scene also made Dong Zhuo, on the Hulao Pass, clap his hands excitedly!
When Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan fought outside Luoyang City, the reason why he had the idea of coaxing Lu Bu to adopt him as a son was that Lu Bu had conquered Dong Zhuo, who was once a military man, with his absolute martial prowess.
Too strong!
So strong that it makes people admire and fear!!!
The three thousand soldiers under Wang Kuang were also easily torn apart by the three thousand Bing Province Wolf Cavalry like wolves and tigers. A large number of defeated soldiers fled everywhere, but few could truly outrun the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry.
It wasn't that the allied forces didn't want to save them, but the defeat was too fast, too fast…
At this moment, all the allied lords had a thought, that is, they must not fight Lu Bu with small forces.
Lu Bu's martial prowess was enough to easily defeat the formation of small forces with his personal strength.
Without the formation, the infantry would only be a piece of fat that the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry could swallow and tear apart at any time.
After cutting off Wang Kuang's head, Lu Bu did not leave. He glanced around contemptuously, raised the Fang Tian Halberd and pointed it in the direction of the allied lords, and said loudly.
"Is there anyone who dares to fight Lu Bu?"
This sound was not like a provocation, but more like a confirmation, confirming that the allied forces were all cowards, without an enemy worthy of a single exchange.
Among them, Mu Shun, a fiery general under Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang County, immediately cupped his hands and said.
"Mu Shun asks for battle!"
In addition to Mu Shun, Wu Anguo, a strong and burly man holding a long-handled hammer under Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai County, also stepped forward and said.
"Wu Anguo is willing to fight Lu Bu!"
This made Yuan Shao a little hesitant. Even though Yuan Shao was not very good at courage, he also knew that the level shown by Lu Bu was far beyond ordinary people.
Mu Shun and Wu Anguo may all be heroes of one side, but compared with Lu Bu, I am afraid that they are not even half a star behind.
The deaths of Wang Kuang and Fang Yue had already dealt a blow to the morale of the allied forces. If they continued to conduct single-horse duels, once defeated, the originally high morale of the allied forces would probably plummet to the bottom.
Xu You, who knew the reason for Yuan Shao's hesitation, immediately stepped forward and suggested.
"Lord, battles between the two armies are not about one person and one ride fighting. Lu Bu relies on his courage to challenge, so there is no need to pay attention to it. Just order the archers to release arrows and force him back."
These words can be said to have spoken to Yuan Shao's heart.
It not only preserved Yuan Shao's face, but also had enough excuses to refuse to fight.
Even if Lu Bu had unparalleled courage, could he single-handedly charge into an army of more than 200,000 people?
However, before Yuan Shao could speak, Li Ji stepped forward and said.
"Alliance leader, if we ignore it, not to mention the impact on morale. More importantly, with Lu Bu's ability, if we don't try to restrain him, when the two armies fight in the future, Lu Bu will definitely lead the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry to constantly attack the formation, which may become a major disaster."
As soon as these words came out, there were not a few lords present whose faces looked ugly.
A major feature of the allied forces is that each lord leads his elite troops to form a military formation.
After all, not to mention that the allied lords have their own ideas, no matter how much they trust each other, would Yuan Shao be willing to hand over his elite troops to Yuan Shu to command?
With the ability that Lu Bu had shown just now, once he led the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry to forcibly break through the military formation of a certain small lord, it would probably soon lead to a rout.
With the defeated soldiers scattered everywhere, it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction.
Therefore, Lu Bu, who is enough to affect the balance of the battle, undoubtedly must be restrained, and not just blindly avoiding the battle.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Ji took the initiative to speak out, otherwise it was possible that Liu Bei's troops would be implicated by the defeated allied forces in the future, which would be a big problem.
Yuan Shu then took the opportunity to say something sarcastic.
"Easier said than done? Who can fight Lu Bu?"
As Yuan Shu spoke, his eyes also fell on Guan Yu.
After all, the last time Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong in front of Sishui Pass, he left a very deep impression on the lords, which naturally aroused Yuan Shu's jealousy.
However, the ability of Lu Bu to break through the formation with a single horse shown at this moment has almost exceeded Yuan Shu's imagination of the limits of a military general.
Therefore, Yuan Shu naturally had the idea of using words to provoke and use Lu Bu's hand to get rid of Guan Yu.
Guan Yu, ever proud, could not tolerate such provocation. He immediately stepped forward, ready to volunteer for battle.
However, Zhang Fei preempted him, speaking out in a boisterous manner.
"Second brother, you already got to deal with Hua Xiong. This time, no matter what, you have to let me handle Lu Bu."
Guan Yu frowned upon hearing this and was about to speak to dissuade him.
"Third brother, you…" (End of Chapter)
