Right now.
Beneath the walls of Luoyang, Li Meng and Wang Fang of Dong Zhuo's army naturally dared not engage in a duel with Lü Bu, and instead led four thousand Bingzhou cavalry in a charge from the outset.
Lu Bu on the other side was equally uncompromising, immediately showing off his biceps.
One hundred heavily armored cavalrymen emerged from the light cavalry behind Lü Bu.
Although there were only one hundred of them, the knights and their warhorses were all clad in armor, forming a mobile Great Wall.
Both Dong Zhuo and the imperial coalition were taken aback.
Dong Zhuo fought Liu Wei several times in Yunzhong and learned that Liu Wei had a Xuanjia cavalry force, whose men and horses were fully armored and invincible.
But he had only heard about it and had never seen it with his own eyes.
On Ding Yuan's side, only Lü Bu, Han Sui, Ma Teng, and a few others witnessed its power.
The cavalry of the Tuoba Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu truly experienced its power, but unfortunately they have become fertilizer for the Yunzhong Grassland.
As for Yuan Shao and his group, they had heard of them, but this was the first time they had seen them in person.
No wonder Ding Yuan was so confident; it turns out he had already quietly built such a cavalry force.
With only a hundred riders, the visual impact is already so great. If there were a thousand riders, wouldn't they be invincible?
Within the imperial coalition, each member harbored their own thoughts and intentions.
One of them was also staring intently at these heavily armored cavalrymen: "If I ever become a warlord, I will definitely build a cavalry force that combines light and heavy cavalry."
The name has been decided: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
A mere hundred riders, what can they do to me?
When Li Meng and Wang Fang saw the hundred heavy cavalry appear, they were truly taken aback.
However, he quickly put his fear of it aside.
Same people, same warhorses, same armor, only with a few more pieces—the warhorses are also clad in armor. What's there to be afraid of?
Could it be that a hundred of them could break through four thousand cavalry?
The two men not only maintained their speed, but also ordered their cavalry to accelerate their charge.
Lu Bu coldly watched the four thousand cavalrymen rolling in, snorted lightly, and then slowly spurred his warhorse forward.
As soon as he moved, the hundred heavily armored cavalrymen behind him also moved slowly.
They advanced slowly, showing no sign of panic despite the overwhelming force of the enemy.
If a hundred heavy cavalrymen were an incomparably sharp spear, then Lü Bu would be the cold glint at the tip of that spear.
The two sides were about a hundred paces apart. Li Meng and Wang Fang ordered the cavalry on the flanks to fire arrows, while the cavalry in the middle continued their charge.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless arrows shot into the sky, but Lü Bu wielded his halberd like a windmill, and not a single arrow harmed him in the slightest.
The heavily armored cavalry behind them paid no heed and charged forward without a care.
The arrows struck their armor and bounced off, falling to the ground.
The same applies to warhorses.
What!
Such sturdy armor?
Both Dong Zhuo's side and the imperial allied forces were stunned.
They never expected that Ding Yuan could be so strong now, and possess such advanced armor-forging technology.
Liangzhou is such a desolate and barren place that even getting food is difficult!
How did he manage to develop forging and smelting?
Lu Bu and his heavy cavalry had already caused such a shock before even engaging in combat, which made Ding Yuan, who was standing to the side, very proud.
Lü Bu's plan was indeed thorough. Obtaining one hundred sets of armor, horse armor, and weapons from Liu Wei to form a heavy cavalry unit had an effect that exceeded everyone's expectations.
It's a pity we didn't capture enough. If we had a thousand, Dong Zhuo would have been nothing more than a target to be sold!
How could it be impervious to arrows?
Li Meng and Wang Fang were both taken aback.
No wonder Lü Bu only led a hundred heavy cavalry into battle; it turns out he had something to rely on.
A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in both of their hearts.
But now the arrow is on the bowstring, and we have no choice but to release it!
If arrows can't hurt him, then let's fight him in close combat!
The two men then shouted, ordering their cavalry to speed up their charge.
The arrows did not affect the speed of Lü Bu and the heavy cavalry behind him at all, and they covered the distance of one hundred paces in no time.
This distance of one hundred paces allowed the heavy cavalry to reach their optimal speed.
Their formation also changed to an inverted acute-angled triangle, with Lü Bu naturally in the front position.
What kind of clash will occur between the strongest man in the world, leading one hundred of the strongest cavalrymen, and four thousand Bingzhou cavalrymen?
Everyone held their breath, waiting with bated breath.
boom!
As the two armies drew near, Lü Bu unleashed a devastating strike with his halberd.
The dozen or so knights facing him fell from their horses after being slashed by him.
In a battle between two armies, the role of a valiant general is fully demonstrated.
The Bingzhou cavalry broke open, and Lü Bu was the first to charge into their ranks, slaughtering them indiscriminately.
With a casual swing of his halberd, he took away several precious lives.
The hundred heavy cavalry followed closely behind Lü Bu, wielding their swords and cutting down enemies like vegetables, leaving heads rolling in.
Lu Bu and his hundred heavy cavalry easily tore a huge gap in the four thousand Bingzhou cavalry.
Wherever they went, bloodshed and carnage followed.
"This...this is too powerful!"
Li Meng and Wang Fang were greatly alarmed.
They witnessed firsthand how their knights' weapons, no matter how they swung, only produced sparks on the armor of the heavy cavalry, without causing any real damage.
The enemy's warhorse charged straight at them, causing their own horse to stagger and fall to the ground convulsing.
This is the advantage that Centaur armor brings in battle.
What made things even worse for the two of them was that the weapon in their opponent's hand seemed to be able to cut through iron like mud, capable of severing both the person and the weapon.
With a hundred men wielding such weapons and wearing such armor, plus Lu Bu, whose combat power is beyond that of ordinary people, this battle seems impossible to win!
