Chapter 215 *Insert Lu Bu Theme Here* (1/2)
Chapter 215 – *Insert Lu Bu Theme Here*
One kilometer south of the battle.
Li Feihong shouted to Lu Bu as he noticed a situation up front.
”Fengxian! There's a battalion of our ally up front. They are hindering Zhang Yang Army. Do not kill everyone on your sight!”
Lu Bu chuckled, ”I know what I'm doing. You drop back. The others will take it from here.”
Li Feihong nodded and pulled his reins, slowing down his horse. The other soldiers replaced his position as soon as the strategist allowing them to pass him. He withdrew out of the charging pack, trotting his horse and waiting for Zhang Liao and the others to catch up.
Because of the narrow road, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not charge along with Lu Bu. They took the majority of the horsemen and let Lu Bu handled only 2,000 soldiers. The rest of the 48,000 cavalries followed after their boss at a casual speed to save the horses' strength.
In half a minute, Lu Bu saw the crowded pack of unorganized heavy cavalries.
”HA! Foolish scums! Men, wedge formation!”
The two thousand Xiongnu Cavalries shrank their columns from 500 horsemen column into three hundred while the rest followed behind their leading comrades. A long trail of a stake with triangle arrowhead was formed as they continued rushing.
The formation adjustment completed in half a minute and the enemies were two hundred meters away.
Lu Bu's Red-Hare leaped onto the sky as he commanded it, and it flew over several front rows of the defending soldiers. The seven inches hooves stomped on two unlucky soldiers.
*BOOM*
Like a monster, the impact made by the 2 tons weight of Red Hare King and its armor crushed the bones of the horses along with the two soldiers.
*BANG*
The crescent halberd was swung in a half-moon motion, and all soldiers beside the crushed horsemen had their bodies sent flying.
The impact was as if there was an explosion!
Lu Bu ignored the raining blood and innards of the slaughtered soldiers and horses. He kicked the sides of his Red Hare, signaling it the charge into the compacted crowd.
The Red Hare King neighed in response. Its eyes glowed as it understood the master's killing intent as it also looked at other horses with despise. It wanted the spaces for itself to run alone, not blocked by the other weakling animals.
With its armor and its killing intent, the Red Hare King kicked the ground and rushed forward.
Lu Bu grinned as he liked his horse more and more. It seemed that the horse and Lu Bu had a similar personality.
”Scum! Get out of my way!” Roared Lu Bu.
*BANG*
Another loud explosive sound of the metallic crash was heard, and another pack of men was sent flying by the crescent halberd.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
For each second, three sets of loud bang echoed through the valley as Lu Bu's monstrous speed and power overwhelmed the defending horsemen.
”He's only one man! Rush him!”
*BANG*
The rallying soldier was sent flying.
”Surround him! He's isolated!”
*BANG*
All surrounding soldiers and their horses were either rammed by Red Hare King or cleaved into two.
”It should be their general! Kill him and we-”
*BANG*
Another speaking soldier's horse was shot up to the sky with its master.
”Together, kill …”
*BANG*
”We-”
*BANG*
”…”
*BANG*
Just like when Lu Bu rushed into the armies of Wang Kuang at Shangdang, he cut a path for himself and his army behind him, literally singlehandedly.
Contrary to the previous fight, Lu Bu did not exert his killing aura as there was an allied army stopping Zhang Yang soldiers for them. Even if Lu Bu was not very bright, he still valued brave warriors. From his eyes, Lu Zhi and Zhou Cang, who he had learned from the spies and Li Feihong, were brave men that were worthy of getting his respect.
Lu Bu also wanted to save these people, so he avoided causing any trouble to them.
The 2,000 Xiongnu caught up with their boss, and the wedge formation started crushing the defenders.
The chaotic stationary horsemen formation was no match for the heavy cavalry charge. Although Lu Bu's men had to allow collisions of their horses, they destroyed the first to third layers of Zhang Yang's cavalry files.
Before Jinyang troops lost the charging momentum, Lu Bu pushed forward.
”S-Somebody, stop him!”
”STOP SCREAMING AND DIE, SCUM!!” Lu Bu roared again.
*BANG*
Fear budded in the mind of the defending horsemen as Lu Bu's crescent halberd sent men and horses flying, splashing innards and blood all over the place as he continued charging into the enemy formation.
