Chapter 124: Battle of Tiger Prison
After several rounds, Lu Bu also discovered Dian Wei's problem.
The black guy in front of me is just like a smelly and hard stone. He doesn't pose much threat, but he can't be hurt in any way.
Lu Bu would also have a headache when encountering such an opponent. Fighting him was no different from forging iron. There was no challenge, it was just a pure waste of physical energy.
However, Zhang Fei, who had been watching the battle, couldn't help it.
He also saw Dian Wei's predicament, and immediately rode his horse and shouted, "Don't run, you slave of three surnames! Zhang Yide from Yan is here!"
Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, full of domineering power.
comfortable!
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Tian Ze smiled slightly.
Lu Bu is also a type of person who can defeat his master, and his nature is much worse than that of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei changed masters many times, but he worked hard every time and left on good terms.
It is like an employee working for a company, who has excellent work performance, makes great contributions to the company, and gets along well with his boss, but finally changes jobs because the company is not doing well or he does not fit in with the company's philosophy.
Of course, there were two times when I did things that were not done properly, but both times I had good reasons and had to do so, and I left room for maneuver.
Lu Bu was a person of pure moral corruption and rebelliousness. After he joined the company, he sent his boss to jail soon after, and took over the company and robbed the boss's wife. After the company collapsed, he moved to another place and did the same thing.
Tian Ze admired Lu Bu's martial arts, but despised his moral level.
However, in some ways, this guy seemed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a trusted and beloved general of Liu Xie. After all, he always cleverly stood on the right position.
When people heard Zhang Fei shouting "a slave of three surnames", they immediately understood what he meant, and all the princes smiled knowingly.
When it comes to hitting people in the face, scolding people and exposing their weaknesses, when it comes to accurately breaking through defense, you have to look to Zhang Fei.
Hearing this, Lu Bu gritted his teeth in anger. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he hit Dian Wei's horse with his halberd, causing it to stagger. Then he spurred his horse straight towards Zhang Fei to kill him.
For the first time, a strong murderous intent flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.
"court death!"
Facing the fierce Lu Bu, Zhang Fei did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated his talent "violent", and his strength increased again. He drove his black horse and held the spear in both hands.
The man took advantage of the horse's momentum and stabbed Lu Bu with the Zhangba Snake Spear with a whistling sound.
Lu Bu's face was full of anger. He raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and easily blocked Zhang Fei's attack, then slashed directly at Zhang Fei's head with the halberd.
Zhang Fei was not afraid at all. He brandished his Zhangba Snake Spear and fought fiercely with Lu Bu.
The two men fought back and forth, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously.
Zhang Fei's attacks were extremely fierce, and each of his moves carried tremendous power. The occasional sonic harassment made Lu Bu frown.
Why are these black guys so difficult to deal with?
Lu Bu easily responded with his superb martial arts and powerful strength. He wielded his Fang Tian Hua Ji so tightly that he quickly suppressed Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei had a lot of suffering in his heart.
This guy's strength is too abnormal!
I didn't feel much when I saw him fighting with Dian Wei, but when they really started fighting, I found that this guy in front of me was really terrifying!
Except for the strength, I am far inferior to him in other aspects.
At this time, Lu Bu had a preliminary assessment of the strength of the black man in front of him.
His strength was slightly better than his, but he was not as abnormal as the black guy before.
The speed was slightly slower than his, about the same as that of the black guy just now.
In terms of skills, these two black guys are a little worse than me.
Because Dian Wei was not good at riding and Lu Bu's Red Hare was too fast, Dian Wei arrived only after the two of them had exchanged more than ten moves.
Faced with such a perverted Lu Bu, the two looked at each other and finally joined forces without any moral principles.
The two men, who had fought many times during the previous expedition against the Yellow Turbans, launched an attack on Lu Bu with great tacit cooperation, with one attacking and the other defending with great coordination.
With Dian Wei's protection, Zhang Fei could launch attacks almost without restraint.
However, Lu Bu's strength lies in his comprehensiveness and his ability to have no blind spots. He can kill any general below the first-rate level instantly, and he is not at all inferior to powerful enemies when fighting against them.
He could even withstand Dian Wei's strength, it just took more effort. He responded to Zhang Fei's attack calmly.
The three men fought in a T-shape, and Lu Bu showed no sign of being defeated, and even had the upper hand.
When Tian Ze saw this scene, he felt helpless.
Although Zhang Fei and Dian Wei cooperated well, they were not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the original historical trajectory. Especially Guan Yu's attack and killing ability were far superior to Dian Wei.
Of course, this does not mean that Guan Yu can beat Dian Wei. It is that Dian Wei is more suitable to be a bodyguard rather than a general, and can only play a restraining role.
If Dian Wei and Zhang Fei join forces to fight Lu Bu, it will be a draw. If Zhang Fei and Lu Bu join forces to fight Dian Wei, it will probably be a draw as well.
Dong Zhuo and the eighteen princes were all amazed when they saw the wonderful battle between the three men.
He is indeed worthy of being called “Lü Bu among men and Red Hare among horses”.
He is the best military commander in the world, well-deserved.
The three fierce generals fought a thrilling battle in front of Hulao Pass. The sound of weapons clashing was deafening. After hundreds of rounds, there was still no winner.
After such a long time, Dong Zhuo and the other princes finally realized that the three men were evenly matched in strength and that even after another hundred rounds, it would be difficult to determine the winner.
However, the vast majority of princes had no intention of taking action.
Just when Tian Ze was hesitating whether to go forward, Cao Cao, who was still a passionate middle-aged man, couldn't help it. With a slight signal, Xiahou Yuan under his command decisively rode his horse and rushed forward with a knife.
"Qiao County Xiahou Yuan is here, traitor, die quickly!"
Xiahou Yuan wanted to call him "a slave of three surnames" like Zhang Fei, but he didn't dare to say it. He saw Lu Bu's performance clearly. Zhang Fei could block those halberds in a rage, but he might not be able to.
It’s better to be civilized. We are all decent people, so why expose others’ shortcomings?
Xiahou Yuan's martial arts are also extraordinary, firmly ranking first-class, and he is a dexterous general, which just makes up for the weaknesses of Zhang Fei and Dian Wei.
The three generals fought against Lu Bu together, and the fight was as fast as a spinning lantern. All the princes were stunned.
These four people almost represent the peak lineup of both camps at present.
Facing the siege of two top generals and one first-rate general, although Lu Bu was still able to resist, it was already a bit difficult, and the consumption of his energy and physical strength doubled.
And the key thing is that because of Dian Wei's presence, he couldn't take down any of them for the time being.
This kind of fight is too boring. The opponent can't pose any fatal threat to me, but I can't do anything to him, so I just have to fight hard. But I need to consume much more energy than the opponent, so I will definitely lose if I continue like this.
Lu Bu was not afraid of death. If he met a strong enemy who could defeat him, he would be even more delighted. Because the terrifying pressure between life and death would give him a chance to break through again, he was eager to become stronger and stronger.
However, the three people in front of him were obviously unable to do this. Lu Bu naturally did not want to continue this kind of meaningless physical exhaustion battle, and he did not like to die in a cowardly way.
The weak are not worthy of killing him!
"This battle is quite boring. Are there any of you princes who dare to fight? Let's continue to attack together!" During the fight, Lu Bu shouted angrily to the princes of Guandong again.
Yuan Shao and his men saw how arrogant Lü Bu was, their faces turned pale, but they were still unwilling to send anyone to attack. They also saw some clues, if a general below the first-rate level went up, it would be suicide, and if a general above the first-rate level went up, there would be risks.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun, who was under his command. Xiahou Dun sighed and said, "My lord, I'm afraid it won't have much effect if I go up. At most, I can consume some of Lu Bu's energy."
When cavalry generals clash, they have to control their horses while considering the actual combat distance of long weapons. Three against one is basically the limit, and any more people will just be a round-robin battle.
These three people are the maximum fighting force that the anti-Dong coalition forces can muster.
Seeing that the princes had no reaction, Lu Bu snorted coldly: "A bunch of rats! This battle is too boring, I will not accompany you."
After saying this, he took Zhang Fei's spear and stabbed Xiahou Yuan three times in a row, forcing Xiahou Yuan to retreat, then he rode away on his horse.
The Red Hare was so fast that the three men could not catch up with it at all.
In their minds, this battle is undecided, unless they are really shameless enough to drag the opponent to death.
However, Yuan Shao and others did not see it that way.
"Lü Bu is defeated! Kill him!"
All the princes shouted in unison, the morale of the allied forces soared, and they launched an attack on Hulao Pass.
However, Hulao Pass was impregnable and arrows and stones rained down from the pass. The allied forces were unable to capture it after a long siege and had to retreat temporarily.
"Defeated! Lu Bu actually lost!"
Dong Zhuo stood on Hulao Pass and saw it all clearly, and said in disbelief.
The scene of chasing and fighting with many of his powerful generals is still vivid in his mind. He was actually defeated by the coalition forces.
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, it was normal for Lu Bu to be besieged by many people. As long as he did not win, he was defeated.
At this moment, the myth of Lu Bu's invincibility was broken.
Li Ru's face turned pale, and Yuan Wei's last words before his death echoed in his mind again.
"Have you expected this?"
Li Ru knew very well what kind of person Yuan Wei was, and he knew even better how powerful the Yuan family was.
With the death of Yuan Wei, most of the Yuan family’s resources will most likely be controlled by the two remaining outstanding men, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Li Ru could not imagine what Yuan Shao, who was as scheming as Yuan Kui and would do to achieve his goal, would do with the many backup plans left by Yuan Kui.
Although our side seems to be powerful, there are hidden dangers everywhere. Our only two absolute advantages are the emperor and Lu Bu, the best in the world.
But what use is the emperor to deal with Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao, who is under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials, will not obey any of their orders at all. Facing the emperor, Yuan Shao will not have any scruples and even wants to kill the emperor himself.
But Lu Bu was defeated!
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's last hope was shattered, but Tian Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t lose.
If he had not come, the outcome of the Battle of Hulao would have been an unknown.
At this time, Lu Bu represented not only an individual, but a trend.
For the sake of his own plan, Yuan Shao was too arrogant to bring Yan Liang and Wen Chou with him, or maybe he hid Yan Liang and Wen Chou for the sake of safety at this time. After all, these guys were willing to do great things and valued their lives.
The other princes also wanted to preserve their strength, especially when facing the terrifying Lu Bu, no one wanted to put their subordinates at risk of casualties.
Moreover, among them, only the Xiahou brothers under Cao Cao and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei were qualified to fight against Lu Bu. After all, Xu Chu had not yet surrendered to Cao Cao, generals such as Chen Dao had not yet grown up, and Sun Jian was injured.
Even if these three people join forces, they may not be able to defeat Lu Bu.
Although the two Xiahou brothers are strong, they have no cooperation with Zhang Fei, and may not be able to match the cooperation between Guan and Zhang in a fight.
If you lose, it will be a big joke.
Tian Ze had always been very wary of Li Ru, who was under Dong Zhuo. Although Li Ru was slightly inferior to Jia Xu in terms of intelligence, he was even more vicious and cruel.
If Lu Bu wins, Dong Zhuo might be able to make a comeback.
By then, Dong Zhuo, who was in control of the situation, might be able to build a strong Qin with the emperor and more than 200,000 elite troops in his hands.
