After the four young generals held back Lü Bu, Xue Rengui decisively ordered the entire army to attack!
Two thousand black-armored soldiers and five thousand white-robed cavalrymen charged like arrows from a bow toward the ranks behind Lü Bu.
The combination of eight thousand light and heavy cavalrymen, facing a Liangzhou army of only three thousand cavalrymen, was utterly crushed; words could hardly describe their overwhelming victory.
Even a formidable force like Gao Shun's Trapped Camp could only concede defeat before the battlefield kings, the Xuanjia Cavalry.
After all, Lü Bu's Liangzhou army was retreating eastward and had no way to counter the heavy cavalry.
Wei Xu, leading three thousand elite Liangzhou cavalry, and Gao Shun's Trapped Camp had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward, otherwise, facing the overwhelming tide of steel, Lü Bu would only be swept into the enemy's ranks.
They had to rush forward and protect Lü Bu.
The hundred heavily armored cavalrymen also charged desperately toward Lü Bu.
They can only play a significant role under Lü Bu's leadership.
The remaining 20,000-plus Liangzhou soldiers were all infantrymen, and they were already terrified when they saw the cavalry army surging in like a tidal wave.
"That's a lack of martial ethics!"
Lu Bu was trapped by four generals and could not escape.
He did not expect that the enemy would launch a full-scale attack while he was entangled.
Faced with such a strong and well-equipped enemy, how could his men possibly resist?
Lu Bu was both shocked and furious, and his halberd slowed down considerably without him realizing it.
Yue Yun, Guan Ling, Lu Wenlong, and Zhang Xian quickly noticed that Lu Bu's pressure had eased. Lu Wenlong spotted an opening and thrust his spear at Lu Bu's Red Hare!
"Hey kid, don't you dare stab my horse!"
Lu Bu reacted quickly and swung his halberd to defend himself.
Seeing this, the other three exchanged glances, and two of them immediately called to their horses, while the other two approached Lü Bu.
"court death!"
Lü Bu was furious!
These four were all exceptional individuals, each possessing considerable martial prowess. However, facing the unparalleled Lü Bu, especially one at his peak, they still found it extremely difficult.
Lu Bu, now in a berserk state, is even more terrifying.
boom!
With a loud crash, Lü Bu swung his halberd at Guan Ling, the weakest of the four.
Guan Ling's crescent blade slipped from his hand, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before fleeing on his saddle.
Lu Bu seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement of the four!
Red Hare was swift, and Yue Yun and his two companions could not catch up with it.
"I am here! Charge with me!"
Lu Bu brandished his halberd and shouted, ordering Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and the hundred heavily armored cavalry to move closer to him.
Gao Shun and Wei Xu were overjoyed to see Lü Bu escape, and risked their lives to lead their troops toward Lü Bu!
Lu Bu moved as if there were no people around, and the black-armored soldiers and white-robed soldiers were cut down from their horses like dumplings.
He quickly reunited with Gao Shun and Wei Xu, and Red Hare turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
He didn't bother to attack the surging cavalry; instead, his gaze fell upon Xue Rengui and the infantry army behind him.
Lü Bu took the lead, followed closely by a hundred heavy cavalry, the Trapped Camp, and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, forming a long dragon that charged diagonally through the gap between the Black Armored Cavalry and the White-Robed Army.
“Governor Xue, we failed to stop him. Please punish us.”
Yue Yun and the other two brought the injured Guan Ling to Xue Rengui to apologize.
“What crime have you four committed? Even if the Grand Commander and I ganged up on him, we might not be able to win.”
"It is already quite an achievement that you were able to hold him captive for fifty rounds."
Xue Rengui, however, spoke loudly.
"Then won't they escape our encirclement?" Yue Yun asked.
"There are even more formidable opponents waiting for them in the rear!"
"You all rest for a while, and later you will have to come with me to capture this scoundrel."
Xue Rengui remained unmoved, raised his hand, and the messenger behind him waved the command flag.
Upon receiving the order, the two thousand Xuanjia cavalry charged forward, plunging into the Liangzhou army's ranks and slaughtering indiscriminately.
Meanwhile, the five thousand white-robed soldiers turned their horses around and launched a continuous barrage of arrows at Lü Bu from both sides.
The two cavalry units, like water separating the river, completely separated Lü Bu's cavalry from his infantry.
At the same time, heavy footsteps sounded.
A thousand burly men, each two meters tall, carrying long-handled swords, stood in three rows.
Li Siye, a burly man with a full beard, also stood in the front row carrying a long sword.
The legendary Mo Dao Formation!
Yue Yun and his three companions were shocked and utterly astonished.
That gleaming broadsword was like a death warrant.
The four of them had also rushed over from Yue Fei's army in the north overnight, and naturally did not pay much attention to Xue Rengui's troops in the darkness.
I always thought that Yue Fei's army was composed of the elite of Liu Wei's troops.
But when they saw the Xuanjia Cavalry, the White-Robed Army, and the Mo Dao Battalion appear one after another, the four of them could only look on with envy.
The enemy actually used infantry to intercept us?
When Lü Bu saw the Mo Dao Battalion appear, he was taken aback.
Although the infantry of Liangzhou had been relegated to the rear, as long as the Trapped Camp heavy cavalry and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry were still there, Lü Bu believed that as long as they broke out of the encirclement, their strength would remain and they could make a comeback.
Even if it's Dong Zhuo or Liu Wei in the future, he will have the leverage to negotiate.
"Heavy cavalry, follow me and clear the way!"
"Gao Shun will be in the center, and Wei Xu will cover the rear!"
"kill!"
Lu Bu charged forward without hesitation.
"rise!"
With a high-pitched Qinqiang opera voice, the first rank of Mo Dao soldiers, including Li Siye, planted their more than ten-foot-long Mo Daos at an angle on the ground, their gleaming blades pointed in the direction from which the cavalry were charging.
The second and third rows were spaced apart to allow for the three-stage power-up of the Mo Dao (陌刀).
Upon seeing the dense wall of blades, Lü Bu was startled and slightly reined in his Red Hare.
The hundred heavy cavalry behind them did not stop at all and charged forward first.
