Chapter 231: Lü Bu collapsed: I can't beat Guan Yu? First he lost his painted halberd and then his red rabbit. Is this the way to be the best in the world?

The sky was filled with fire rain, covering the earth.

Before thousands of Lu army soldiers could react, the rocket had already landed.

Screams rang out as hundreds of Lu army soldiers were caught off guard and nailed to the ground.

And this is just the appetizer.

The rocket hit the "grain cart", and the firewood hidden inside was ignited in an instant, and the grain cart turned into a train.

The scattered hay and firewood on the ground were all ignited by the rockets, turning the road beneath their feet into a fire road.

Fire attack launched!

The morale and fighting spirit of more than 25,000 Lu troops were immediately burned out by the raging fire, and they collapsed and fled in panic.

On the river bank.

Guan Yu was standing on his horse with his sword drawn, admiring the grand spectacle of burning the enemy army.

"The military advisor's move of burning Lu Bu is truly a brilliant strategy of defeating the enemy with a small force."

"No wonder he is so confident that he can defeat these four family slaves."

Guan Yu sighed with emotion, his eyes full of admiration.

This is Xiao Fang’s plan.

Guan Ping was left with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they planted straw men all over the camp, pretending that there were still 10,000 troops in the city, so that Zhang Liao in the city would not dare to take advantage of the situation to attack.

Guan Yu personally led 7,000 main forces to set up an ambush at the Huai River dam.

After all, he only had 7,000 infantrymen. Even if he ambushed Lu Bu and caught him off guard, he would not necessarily win.

Xiao Fang designed a plan and ordered Guan Yu to prepare firewood in advance, disguise it as Lu's army's food carts, scatter it on the road, and then scatter dry firewood on the ground along the way.

When Lu's army passed by and entered the ambush circle, they launched a fire attack and burned all the firewood.

Although the fire attack could not kill many enemy troops, it was enough to easily defeat the morale of Lu Jun with the help of the raging fire.

Rockets continued to rain down on the enemy.

On the road.

Lü Bu was already filled with shock and anger, and he shouted at Chen Gong:
"Chen Gongtai, didn't you say that if we travel day and night, we can cooperate with Zhang Liao from inside and outside to kill Guan Yu by surprise?"

"How did Guan Yu know that I was leading my army here and set up an ambush here in advance? Did he have a third eye?"

Chen Gong's forehead was covered with sweat and he suddenly shivered.

"It's not that Guan Yu opened his eyes. It must be that Xiao Fang calculated that Wen Hou would lead the main force to rescue Yangquan, so Liu Bei sent people to warn Guan Yu in advance."

"At this moment, Liu Bei must have been attacking Chengde City!"

Chen Gong revealed the truth in a trembling tone.

Lu Bu shuddered, his face changed in horror.

As Chen Gong said, doesn't this mean that he not only failed to save Yangquan, but also had to let Liu Bei take advantage of the situation to attack Chengde, and was even defeated by Guan Yu here?
After all the trouble, I didn't get anything, and I ended up losing both the wife and the army!
No, it's not just that I lost both the man I helped and my soldiers, I lost even my underwear!
"Chen Gong, what a bullshit plan you have! You have caused me so much trouble!"

Lu Bu was so frightened and angry that his face was distorted and he roared at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong looked ashamed, but sighed bitterly:

"Gong also said that this plan has the risk of being discovered by Xiao Fang, and there is no guarantee that it will succeed."

Faced with Chen Gong's explanation, Lu Bu's complaints were immediately blocked and he held them back until his face turned red.

Chen Gong did not bother to argue any further and urged:
"Marquis Wen, the situation is hopeless. Yangquan City cannot be saved."

"Quickly withdraw to Shouchun and preserve as much strength as possible so that we can hold on to Shouchun."

Lu Bu was suddenly awakened, and his anger turned into panic.

Yangquan City can no longer be defended, and Chengde City is likely to be attacked, so there are only these 25,000 soldiers left.

If we die here, will we have to defend Shouchun with our heads down?

Then everything will really be over.

"Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat back to Shouchun~~"

Lu Bu had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn his horse and flee eastward, shouting hoarsely.

More than 20,000 soldiers of Lu's army screamed and rushed towards the fire scene.

The raging fire only crushed Lu Jun's fighting spirit and did not kill many people. If Lu Jun had withdrawn like this, at most only a few thousand people would have been killed or injured.

Unfortunately, Guan Yu would not let him get away so easily.

If you want to leave, you have to skin him three times.

On the river bank.

Guan Yu raised his Qinglong sword slightly, and the archers immediately stopped shooting arrows, and the rain of fire in the sky stopped.

Guan Yu pointed the Qinglong sword towards the embankment again and shouted:
"Beat the drums! Send out the ambush troops! Kill all the enemies!"

The order was given and the sound of war drums rang out, echoing over the sea of ​​fire.

On the other side of the dam, six or seven thousand Xiangyang garrison troops flooded over the Huai River dam like a tide, and with a force that could shake the sky and crack the earth, they swept down towards Lu's army that was fleeing under the dam.

Guan Yu glanced around with his phoenix eyes and found the flag with the word "Lu" on it amid the smoke and fire of the chaotic army, and found where Lu Bu was.

His half-open eyes suddenly opened wide, Guan Yu squeezed the horse's belly, rode down with his sword, and rushed straight towards Lu Bu.

"Four family slaves, where are you going to escape to!"

Guan Yu let out a thunderous roar and swooped down towards Lu Bu like thunder.

The veins in his arms bulged, and the Qinglong sword in his hand, with all his life's strength, stirred up a lot of dust in the air and slashed forward like a sharp blade that could split the sky.

While running, Lu Bu suddenly heard a thunderous roar, which made his eardrums hurt and his head buzz.

When he turned around suddenly, he saw Guan Yu swooping down towards him like a god descending from the sky.

"Guan Yu?"

Lu Bu's face changed and he felt a chill on his back.

Under normal circumstances, he, as the world's number one general, would naturally not be afraid of Guan Yu.

Now that he was on the verge of defeat, he was intercepted by Guan Yu. How could he not be frightened?

Seeing the Qinglong sword coming towards him, Lu Bu had to take a deep breath and swung his halberd to block it.

"throat!"

There was a loud noise like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.

The collision of swords and spears was like the collision of heaven and earth.

In an instant, Lu Bu felt a terrifying force like a mountain pressing down on his head, like a huge wall crashing down on him.

The hands holding the halberd felt a sharp pain, the knuckles were cracked, and blood oozed from the fingertips in an instant.

The force of the collision even knocked his iron halberd away, causing him to lean back and almost lose his balance on his horse.

The remaining force hit his internal organs like a sledgehammer, causing him to churn and feel a dull pain. He actually suffered internal injuries.

Guan Yu's strength was extremely strong to begin with, and this attack was powered by his full strength, aided by the momentum of his horse swooping down from a high position!
The force of this shocking blow far exceeded his own strength!
However, Lu Bu had lost his Fang Tian Hua Ji and had been injured by Zhang Fei's three generals before, so his strength and martial arts had declined a lot.

Therefore, under Guan Yu's strongest attack, Lu Bu was shocked so much that his palms were cracked, his internal organs were injured, and he was almost knocked off his horse!

"This is impossible!" Lu Bu, who had passed by Guan Yu on the wrong horse, suddenly turned back and looked at Guan Yu in disbelief.

That look was as if he had seen the most incredible scene in his life.

He was the best in the world and had never been defeated in his life fighting alone.

Today, under Guan Yu's shocking attack, his knuckles were cracked and his internal organs were injured!

For a moment, Lu Bu thought he was in a dream.

It was not until Guan Yu turned his horse around and swung the Qinglong sword in his hand with the power of thunder to slash forward again that Lu Bu suddenly woke up and realized that he was not in a dream.

He was really injured by Guan Yu's attack.

"Guan Yu, I'm going to kill you~~"

Lu Bu's dignity was deeply hurt. With a roar of rage and shame, he rode his horse and charged towards Guan Yu, brandishing his halberd.

The iron halberd was danced, creating thousands of halberd shadows that swept towards Guan Yu like an overwhelming force.

Guan Yu's eyes were cold and disdainful, his Qinglong sword turned into an iron curtain in the sky, and his powerful sword force attacked like a storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sword and the halberd collided in mid-air at a flash of lightning, and the two men fought in a circle like a revolving lantern.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty moves passed.

No matter who wins or loses!

Lu Bu's martial arts were the best in the world, and originally his martial arts were even better than Guan Yu's.

However, he had lost his magical weapon, the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and had a shoulder injury. In addition, Guan Yu's shocking attack just now had injured his internal organs. At this moment, his martial arts were far inferior to before, and he actually ended up in a draw with Guan Yu.

Even in terms of mental fighting spirit, he was suppressed by Guan Yu.

"How could I, Lu Bu, fight him to a draw?"

"This is impossible. I am number one in the world. No one can fight me to a draw!"

Lu Bu was shocked and impatient, and although he was swinging the halberd wildly, he gradually lost his sense of rhythm.

Guan Yu, however, was as steady as a mountain. He used his sword skills in a wide range of ways and calmly broke through Lu Bu's crazy halberd style.

Just when Lu Bu and Guan Yu were fighting fiercely, the 7,000 Jingzhou troops were like countless sharp blades, breaking Lu's chaotic army into countless pieces.

Under the double blow of fire attack and ambush, although Lu's army had a several-fold advantage, they had no intention of fighting and could only flee in panic.

In a blink of an eye, 25,000 Lu troops were killed and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

"Marquis Wen, don't fight to the end!"

"Quickly retreat to the woods, or our army will be wiped out here!"

Chen Gong, who was a dozen steps away, was riding his horse to escape to the woods in the south while loudly persuading Lu Bu.

The road was full of fire, and Liu's ambushes attacked them again, cutting off their retreat.

Retreating eastward was no longer realistic, and the only way to escape from Liu Jun's pursuit and attack was to flee to the woods in the south.

Although the woods and bushes were dense, if you wanted to escape you had to abandon your flags, bags, and even your armor and soldiers, but at least you could still save your life.

Chen Gong was quick-witted and decisive. He realized that this was the only way to escape, so he immediately turned and fled to the woods.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, feeling extremely unwilling.

Lu'an was lost, Chengde was lost, and Yangquan could hardly be defended. Now they were ambushed by Guan Yu and their main force had suffered heavy losses.

If he fails to defeat Guan Yu again and flees in disgrace, his reputation as the world's number one general will probably be trampled under Guan Yu's feet.

Where is the face left...

"Guan Yu, I'll let you cheat today. If you win this battle by chance, I will definitely chop off your head one day!"

Although Lu Bu was resentful in his heart, his body was very honest. After saying a few harsh words, he turned his horse, jumped out of the battle group and fled into the woods.

After all, face cannot be eaten. For him, even recognizing Yuan Shu as his adoptive father was something he could do, let alone being defeated by Guan Yu.

"Four family slaves, don't run away!"

How could Guan Yu let him get away like this? Naturally, he spurred his horse and drew his sword, chasing him all the way.

Lu Bu did not dare to look back. Relying on the speed of his Red Hare, he left Guan Yu behind in the blink of an eye.

When he fled to the edge of the woods with the defeated army, Lu Bu was dumbfounded.

The forest was too dense, with branches and leaves growing in disorder, and it was also full of bushes and even thorns everywhere.

In this situation, the warhorse cannot move at all!

The infantrymen didn't care and just went into the woods. The worst that could happen was that they would be scratched. But the cavalrymen had no choice but to abandon their mounts and flee into the woods on foot.

Should he abandon Red Hare and escape into the woods on foot?
This is the Red Hare, a Ferghana horse, a rare divine horse in the world, how can we bear to abandon it!
The reason why I, Lu Bu, am the best general in the world is that I rely on my unparalleled martial arts, my magical weapon, the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and my divine horse, the Red Hare, which runs as fast as the wind.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji has been taken away by Taishi Ci. If I, Lu Bu, abandon Red Hare, will I still be worthy of being called the best general in the world?
"How can a mere warhorse be more important than your life and ambition, Lord Wen!"

"Marquis Wen, don't hesitate, you must act decisively!"

Chen Gong, who had already entered the forest, saw that Lu Bu was hesitating and screamed in panic.

Lu Bu's heart trembled, and he was suddenly awakened by the drink.

After gritting his teeth, Lu Bu could only let out a long sigh, turned over and jumped off his horse, abandoned Red Hare, and went into the dense forest.

The Red Hare was very intelligent and seemed to know that Lu Bu was going to abandon him. It started kicking its four hooves and neighing in panic.

Its neighing was not a big deal, but it actually reminded Lu Bu.

"Even if I cannot own this Red Hare, how can I give it to Guan Yu?"

Lu Bu's thoughts turned, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

So he made up his mind, turned around suddenly, swung the iron spear in his hand, and was about to stab Red Hare.

He wants to kill the horse!
He would rather kill Red Hare than let Guan Yu get it.

When Red Hare saw that his master was going to kill him, he couldn't help but let out a tragic roar, but he stood still and did not flee.

It seemed that the halberd tip was about to pierce Red Hare.

"brush!"

A cold light whizzed over and landed on the iron halberd in Lu Bu's hand.

"clang!"

With a metallic sound, Lu Bu's halberd tip was shaken away and he took two steps back.

A sword was bounced to the side.

Lu Bu looked up suddenly and was surprised to see Guan Yu riding a horse and chasing him with a sword.

Just now, Guan Yu was standing in the distance and saw Lu Bu about to kill Red Hare, so he drew his sword and threw it out in desperation.

Lu Bu's remaining spiritual will was also shattered by Guan Yu's sword.

It was too late to kill Red Hare again.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around hurriedly, and dive into the bushes in a panic.
