He snorted coldly, and with a sudden downward thrust of his halberd, he instantly subdued Zhang Fei. At the same time, he seized the opportunity and reached out to grab Zhang Guanyu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
"roll!"
Grabbing the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Lü Bu pulled hard, throwing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu away. He then rode his horse towards Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, intending to kill them both in one fell swoop.
"Third brother, be careful!" Guan Yu's expression changed drastically.
They were already severely injured, so how could they possibly avoid Lu Bu's attack?
When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu calling him, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand firm, his eighteen-foot spear ready to resist Lü Bu's attack.
But how could Lü Bu give him the chance? He grinned maliciously and swung his halberd fiercely down.
Ding~
Zhang Fei barely managed to block Lü Bu's attack, but he was already seriously injured, and this attack caused him to vomit blood and fall to the ground again.
Lu Bu sneered, leaped into the air, and once again swung his halberd down towards Zhang Fei's head.
"Third brother!" Guan Yu shouted upon seeing this.
Guan Yu then brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slashed straight at Lü Bu's head.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, and with a flick of his halberd, he blocked Guan Yu's deadly attack.
Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade was deflected by Lü Bu's Halberd.
Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were seriously injured. Liu Bei, who was standing on the city wall, was extremely anxious, while Cao Cao was speechless with astonishment.
Is this Lu Bu really that powerful?
Cao Cao had experienced firsthand the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When Xiahou Dun came to join Cao Cao, Guan Yu defeated him with just three strikes.
But this Lü Bu was able to fight two people against one and seriously injure both of them. His strength was so profound that it terrified Cao Cao.
"Haha, you two are nothing but fodder, yet you dare to oppose me. Today, I will make sure you both die without a burial place," Lu Bu said arrogantly.
After saying that, Lü Bu ignored the two men's resentful gazes and spurred his horse towards them.
At this point, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had lost their ability to fight, making it almost impossible for them to continue fighting.
At the critical moment, Cao Cao shouted from the city wall: "Spare Guan Yu! He is Mr. Lu's beloved disciple!"
Lu Bu was immediately taken aback, looking at Cao Cao on the city wall with a strange glint in his eyes.
Guan Yu is actually Lu Li's apprentice? Now Lu Bu dares not make a move.
After all, he had experienced Lu Li's power firsthand. After saying that, he tightened the reins and looked down at Guan Yu, asking, "Are you Mr. Lu's disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu felt a pang of shame. He had suffered such a crushing defeat today, truly disgracing his sect.
"Yes!" Guan Yu replied.
Upon hearing Guan Yu's admission, Lü Bu slowly said, "Since you are Mr. Lu's disciple, I will spare your life today."
"Listen up, generals of Hulao Pass! You have three days to open the gates and surrender, or we will make sure you are all reduced to dust the moment the gates are breached!" Lü Bu shouted at the many guards outside the city gates.
After saying this, Lü Bu didn't linger and immediately turned his horse around and left.
After Lü Bu left, Guan Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole body went limp.
Although Guan Yu was highly skilled in martial arts and had a fierce temperament, he was seriously injured at this time and had no fighting ability at all. If it weren't for his strong will, he would probably have fainted by now.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, Guan Yu couldn't help but cough violently, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.
He shook his head bitterly and sighed inwardly, "Is Lu Bu truly invincible?"
"Second brother, third brother!" At this moment, Liu Bei hurriedly came down and helped the two of them up.
Liu Bei asked anxiously, "Second brother, third brother, how are you?"
Zhang Fei gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, we're alright!"
"Why did you two have to intervene? Now you're both injured!" Liu Bei complained.
"Brother, this thief is formidable; we have no choice but to intervene!" Zhang Fei sighed.
Zhang Fei originally wanted to dampen Lü Bu's arrogance, but now he has backfired.
Their defeat at the hands of Lü Bu directly dampened the morale of their own army.
At this time, morale at Hulao Pass was low. If Cao Cao hadn't been there, they probably would have collapsed long ago.
Liu Bei remained silent, knowing that Zhang Fei was right.
"Second brother, third brother, you should go into the city to heal your wounds first," Liu Bei said.
Guan Yu nodded and led Zhang Fei into the city.
"Brother Mengde, what should we do now?" Liu Bei asked.
"well!"
Cao Cao sighed softly, "This matter requires further consideration. Lü Bu is too powerful, and we have no way to deal with him right now!"
They are now outnumbered by the Yellow Turbans in terms of soldiers, and they are no match for Lü Bu in terms of generals.
But none of this was what Cao Cao was most worried about. What he was most worried about was Gao Shun's Trapped Camp.
If the Trapped Camp were among these 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, that would be the most terrifying force; even Hulao Pass might not be able to withstand it.
Although the Trapped Camp only had seven hundred men, Cao Cao had indeed personally witnessed its terrifying power.
"I just hope the court will send reinforcements as soon as possible!" Cao Cao muttered to himself, his expression extremely solemn.
"Report! My lord, news has arrived from Luoyang." A scout suddenly came to report.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Speak quickly."
"Reporting to my lord, a force of troops from Luoyang is rapidly advancing towards Hulao Pass, numbering approximately 80,000," the scout reported.
"Around 80,000? Great!" Cao Cao was overjoyed; Luoyang had finally sent reinforcements.
Who will be the general?
