EBE Chapter 28 Challenging Lü Bu? He's nothing but a fallen wreck of the Fangtian Halberd.
Chapter 28 Challenging Lü Bu? He's nothing but a fallen wreck of the Fangtian Halberd.
next morning
Lü Bu led 5,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, following Dong Zhuo's orders, out of Hulao Pass and galloped toward the allied camp.
This was Dong Zhuo's strategy: to use Lü Bu's bravery to intimidate the various warlords in the allied forces.
after all.
Lü Bu and Hua Xiong are not the same.
Lü Bu's bravery far surpasses that of Hua Xiong by several times!
Given Lü Bu's unparalleled martial arts skills, there are probably very few people in the entire allied forces who can fight him.
That's exactly what happened.
In one-on-one combat, Lü Bu was undoubtedly the best in his time.
Perhaps the only one who could challenge Lü Bu was Zhao Yun at his peak during the Battle of Changban.
However, Zhao Yun at present has not yet reached his peak due to age limitations.
Lü Bu was the only one in the world who was unparalleled.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the most skilled and battle-hardened army under Lü Bu's command.
This cavalry force, along with the White Horse Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, was ranked as one of the three most elite cavalry forces in the world!
……
Allied forces camp outside Hulao Pass
With the departure of warlords like Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, the allied forces' agenda was entirely determined by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
A messenger rushed in from outside and reported:
"Report to the leader!"
"Lu Bu led 5,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry out of Hulao Pass and is challenging us to battle outside the main camp!"
"This scoundrel boasted that he would slaughter all the generals of our allied forces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Zan stood up angrily.
"I have long heard that Lü Bu is a disloyal and unjust man."
"This man not only murdered Ding Yuan, but also assisted the old traitor Dong Zhuo in wreaking havoc in the capital. His crimes are unforgivable!"
"Leader, why not lead the army to charge directly instead of fighting Lu Bu in a battle of wits?"
Su Yu glanced at Gongsun Zan with a surprised expression.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was not fooled by Lü Bu at all, and instead wanted to gang up on Lü Bu.
But obviously.
Gongsun Zan's proposal was simply impossible to implement.
The allied forces consisted of a mixed bag of troops from various warlords.
Elite troops, like the White Horse Cavalry, were skilled in mounted archery.
The army was so weak and second- or third-rate that it didn't even have enough weapons.
Once the allied forces launch an attack, Lü Bu will inevitably lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry back to Hulao Pass immediately.
Lu Bu isn't an idiot!
Why risk a few thousand troops fighting against tens of thousands?
At that time, if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were to be pursued, only a few armies, such as the White Horse Cavalry, would be able to do so.
In that case, even if some gains are made, the effect will not be significant.
Yuan Shao pondered:
"Bo Gui, please be patient."
"Although Lü Bu is brave, our allied forces are not without skilled warriors as well."
"Gentlemen, is there anyone who would like to challenge Lü Bu to a duel?"
After the incident with Hua Xiong, all the warlords were sounded a warning bell.
If you win a duel, you might gain great prestige and become famous throughout the world.
But if we lose...
Sorry, it's highly likely a dead end!
after all.
Not everyone is like Zhang Fei, who had such a good second brother as Guan Yu.
Seeing that the various warlords remained silent, Yuan Shao's gaze gradually turned to Han Fu.
Yes, Yuan Shao is trying to trick Han Fu into sending Pan Feng into battle again!
But it is clear that after receiving the note secretly handed to him by Cao Cao, Pan Feng was already wary of Yuan Shao.
Pan Feng didn't attend today's meeting at all.
Sensing Yuan Shao's gaze, Han Fu cupped his hands and said:
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, my peerless general Pan Feng is capable of challenging Lü Bu!"
"But Pan Feng is unwell today and is probably unable to participate in the battle..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao waved his hand with a regretful expression:
"Alright, since General Pan is unwell, let him rest well."
"But besides General Pan, is there no one else in our allied forces capable of defeating Lü Bu?"
The voice just fell.
Fang Yue, standing behind Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, stepped forward and said:
"Leader, I've heard that Lü Bu is skilled in wielding a halberd."
"My usual weapon is also a halberd!"
"I have always believed that Lü Bu's fame was merely a result of rumors being spread and exaggerated!"
"Why don't I challenge Lu Bu today!"
Yuan Shao laughed heartily:
"General Fang is indeed a hero among men."
"In that case, General Fang shall go into battle and take Lü Bu's head!"
Fang Yue bowed and left.
Xiahou Dun, standing behind Cao Cao, shook his head.
"Mengde, this Fang Yue has all the airs but no real strength."
"I'm afraid I'll be beheaded by Lü Bu!"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled.
Lü Bu's name is renowned throughout the world.
What if Fang Yue could kill Lü Bu?
Even if Fang Yue was just an unknown rookie before, she will instantly become a household name!
In later generations, this would be called becoming an overnight sensation.
Faced with such temptation, Fang Yue could not resist.
His only fate is death!
……
outside the camp
Lu Bu, riding on Red Hare, gently stroked the horse's forehead.
This Red Hare was known as a divine steed, one in a million, and Lü Bu naturally treasured it.
The saying goes well.
Lu Bu without Red Hare is an incomplete Lu Bu.
The reason why Red Hare ended up in Lü Bu's hands was because Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to deliver it to him.
After obtaining the Red Hare, Lü Bu agreed to Dong Zhuo's request to kill his first adoptive father, Ding Yuan!
The later anecdote that Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan for the Red Hare horse is not entirely fabricated.
suddenly.
Red Hare let out a series of neighing sounds.
Lu Bu looked up and saw Fang Yue, riding a green horse, walking towards him with a determined gaze.
"Heh, another one who uses a halberd?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Lü Bu's eyes.
With his martial arts skills, he could naturally tell at a glance what kind of person Fang Yue was.
A mere third-rate general is nothing more than a matter of Lu Bu's halberd!
But looking into Fang Yue's eyes, Lü Bu suddenly felt playful.
He spurred his horse forward and charged towards Fang Yue!
Fang Yue was terrified and quickly raised his crescent halberd to defend against Lü Bu's sudden attack.
"boom!"
Sparks flew, and the clanging of metal echoed in all directions.
Fang Yue was overjoyed!
Lu Bu's attack was not as unstoppable as it seemed!
Fang Yue is not only able to block this attack, but also to find opportunities to counterattack!
"Lu Bu, prepare to die!"
Fang Yue roared.
The crescent halberd in his hand also spun gracefully in the air, thrusting towards Lu Bu's chest!
"Pfft!"
The scene Fang Yue had imagined did not appear.
On the contrary, Lü Bu managed to entangle Fang Yue's crescent halberd using only the protruding hook of his halberd!
"what!"
Fang Yue was shocked.
The next instant!
The halberd descended from the sky, its force like Mount Tai pressing down, like a heavenly tribulation, instantly breaking Fang Yue's spine!
"laugh!!!"
Blood gushed forth.
Hanoi's renowned general Phuong Nghe is dead!
"This is so boring. I thought we could play a few more rounds."
The tip of the halberd sent Fang Yue's corpse flying, and the smile on Lü Bu's face, like a nightmare, loomed over the eyes of the allied soldiers!
