The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

If Gao Shun or Chen Gong were familiar with the character of their lord, they would probably be able to tell at a glance that Lu Bu's eyes were clear and full of energy, which was a symptom of alcoholism.

Lu Bu was squinting when he suddenly learned that there was a battle to be fought. He immediately rushed to his head with enthusiasm and clamored to go into battle and shout to fight and kill.

Xiang Yu was still stunned, but his beloved general had already taken his attitude as acquiescence. He quickly picked up his weapon and rushed out.

Lu Bu blew out like a hurricane. The curtains moved, sending away the wine-scented wind and blowing in heavy cold wind.

When the cold wind blew, those who were barely conscious at the banquet came back to their senses.

They were about to cheer and applaud, but they sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere. They looked at each other and secretly glanced at the unpredictable and silent overlord sitting on the seat.

Xiang Yu's eyes showed hesitation.

He tapped his clearly strong knuckles on the low table several times unconsciously, and finally made up his mind.

The wind along the way made Lu Bu's already lightly red face take on a rouge color.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the heroic fighting spirit of killing Chen Yu and drinking wine to cheer him up, and he completely turned a deaf ear to the countless looks from around him.

After he walked out of the banquet tent with his head held high, he put his finger to his lips and let out a sharp whistle, and a horse neighed happily from the stable in the distance.

Lu Bu squinted his eyes and waited with his hands. He tapped the general on his elbow ten times with his fingertips, and his ears caught the sound of horse hooves tapping the ground.

The sweet sound of horse hooves came from far away and soon arrived in front of him.

This energetic and high-spirited horse appeared with its head held high. Under the warm winter sun, its fur was really shiny and smooth, its body was tall and strong, and its steps were impressive.

Lu Bu frowned slowly and muttered inexplicably: Why is it you!

This is not the jade lion that has been following him for a long time. It is clearly the overlord’s beloved horse, Wu Zui!

Wu Zhui was very understanding of human nature, and seemed to really understand the question. He immediately flicked his long tail, snorted in his nose, and puffed out a cloud of white air with great satisfaction.

——Now that they have arrived at the base camp of the Chu army, it is their world. How can that white-haired coward still show off his power?

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't move for a long time, Wu Zhui seemed a little anxious, so he couldn't help but nudge the big man who was still in a daze affectionately with his big head, clearly urging him.

Lu Bu was already very greedy for Wu Zi, but seeing how clever this horse was, he not only brought it to his door, but also treated him so closely. How could he not love him?

After all, he took the initiative to volunteer for this trip to work for the stupid king. He just took the opportunity to ride Wu Zui one more time, which can be regarded as a reward for winning his heart.

Lu Bu pressed Wu Zhui's high back, which was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and with a little effort, he jumped onto the horse.

The other hand that had been holding Fang Tian's painted halberd was always steady, drawing a clean arc in the air without loosening or shaking.

As soon as he sat firmly, Wu Zhui ran forward with a clear mind, taking him around the camp three times before he stood at the gate again.

Lu Bu took an impatient breath and shouted: You bastards who are still able to ride a horse and hold weapons... Hurry up and follow me to make achievements!

He raised his voice and shouted like a bell, which made everyone's ears thunder and they responded with a thunderous response.

Lu Bu was always an impatient man, and this time he was taking advantage of the wine to go on an expedition, so he didn't have the patience to wait for the soldiers to gather for too long.

Seeing that a group of people had gathered, and they looked like they were not completely drunk, they simply took the two thousand soldiers on duty, regardless of the fact that there were nearly half of the infantry among them.

——Because he was so careless at the moment, within a moment, he suffered deeply.

Although everyone in the Chu army was more or less trained in equestrian skills, compared with the elite cavalry, the riding skills of the soldiers who mainly engaged in infantry fighting seemed to be poor and not attractive at all.

Lu Bu slowed down at first, and kept turning his head to urge him with a cold look.

The further back he got, the less patient he became. He simply said loudly, I'm leaving first! Then he let go of the reins and let Wu Zhui gallop forward.

Wu Zhui had been doing nothing in the Chu camp for several months. He had been pent up and had nowhere to vent his energy. Now that he had the rare chance of carrying his favorite big man, he was extremely excited.

Lu Bu loosened the reins, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The next moment, like a bolt of lightning, he ran forward wildly!

Seeing General Lu riding a horse, the two bright red pheasant tail feathers danced so fast that it was almost dazzling, and soon they disappeared without a trace...

Not only the infantrymen who were still struggling to control their horses were dumbfounded, but even the hundreds of cavalrymen who had barely followed before suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Something bad happened!

If General Lu was impulsive and went deep into the enemy's formation alone, something would go wrong...

The king who loves his general so much must not be furious?

They were complaining in their hearts, but they had no choice but to rush their horses to chase him.

However, how can an ordinary military horse with its hips compare to a thousand-mile horse that gallops to its heart’s content?

Even though they tried their best to chase after him, the distance between them and Lu Bu became wider and wider.

Lu Bu wore a bright red pheasant comb on his head, a colorful war robe, and a set of bright silver armor. Shining in the sun, he looked like a god of war.

It was bitterly cold outside, but he was not afraid of the cold at all. He rolled up one of his sleeves and comfortably exposed a section of his tight and smooth upper arms in the vast white sky covered with thin ice and fine snow.

On the back is the one he is most used to wearing.

A long bow, Fang Tian's painted halberd strung across the horse's back, a long sword with a fish skin sheath on his waist, two pouches of long swords hung on both sides of the horse's back, and under his long legs were golden-threaded black auspicious cloud patterns. shoe.

This outstanding attire, no matter where he is placed, shows his heroic appearance and vitality, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Lu Bu half-closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the cold wind blowing away the steaming heat from his cheeks, and he seemed to be getting drunk and falling asleep.

In the end, it’s mostly the former.

As Lu Bu's drunken head slowly regained consciousness, he was shocked to realize what stupid... bold words he had made previously.

Regret filled the sky for a moment, making him wish he could go back in time so that he could shut up his trouble-making mouth!

Lu Bu thought sadly and angrily, if Gao Fu Yiguo didn't bully him, he would always be drunk and get into trouble and be greedy and harm others!

There are defenders in Pengcheng, and even though they are not many in number, as long as the enemy troops are not ten times their size, they will be able to hold on until the main force of the Lingbi Chu army arrives for reinforcements.

Chen Yu had at most several thousand troops under his command. He was not as brave and skilled as Ting Bu, nor was he able to seize the best opportunity when he was extremely unprepared.

The Pengcheng defenders, who had just suffered a heavy loss under the tattooed cloth, must have been highly vigilant. How could Chen Yu and his men be able to storm the rebuilt and impregnable city?

At most, Pengcheng lost some people's warehouses and cellars on the outskirts of the city, and most of them were still hidden in the city walls.

Moreover, no matter how anxious he is, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, should be the one who is provoked. He can at least join in the fun, but what is the point of being blind?

What the hell do I do!

Lu Bu shook his head in pain, wishing he could shake out the banging water inside.

——That damn Pengcheng is more than two hundred miles away from Lingbi where the garrison is!

Even with Wu Zhui, who was full of energy, running hard, it would take at least three hours to arrive. Why did he say that after the banquet, he would go to the pot to add to the fun?

That fool is afraid that he will have to wait for three days and three nights before he can pick up the victory and lead his troops back and forth to Pengcheng!

Although Lu Bu regretted it too much, he couldn't help but lose a little face since he became famous.

He thought in his heart that he might have accidentally contracted the stupidity of Xiang Duzi, so he personally uttered such bold words, but the end was already finished, and even if he wanted to cry but had no tears, he still had to work hard to do it.

As for Chen Yu, who lined up his cavalry outside Pengcheng, Lu Bu had indeed guessed what he was thinking.

As long as he is not crazy, he would know that trying to capture the city in front of him with only two thousand cavalrymen is nothing more than a dream.

It was not very difficult to build up the siege momentum and cause constant nuisance, so that the Pengcheng defenders misunderstood his intentions and chose to defend themselves in the city.

As long as the nearly 10,000 defenders stationed in Pengcheng cannot figure out his true identity and choose to hold on, his subordinates can take the opportunity to search for houses on the outskirts of the city and plunder supplies.

However, the people of Pengcheng who survived the Taingbu disaster were somewhat resourceful.

Except for a very few people, most of them took refuge in the walled city before winter came, and did not keep much money or food in their homes outside the city.

Therefore, Chen Yu's men worked for a long time and only found scattered food everywhere, which was only enough for them to eat for half a month.

Why is that all?

Chen Yu could not hide his dissatisfaction.

After listening to the general's explanation, his face darkened, but there was nothing he could do.

That's all, that's it for today.

Looking at the darkening sky, Chen Yu vaguely had an ominous premonition and decisively ordered: Go back -

——Where is Mr. Chen Gouchi going!

An overwhelming roar suddenly exploded from the vast plain!

Even though they were quite far away, everyone was still shaken to the point of buzzing in their ears, startled, and all followed the sound.

But a Chu general dressed in extremely fancy clothes suddenly appeared.

Although he was still two miles away and could not see clearly the specific appearance of that person, no matter it was the tall and muscular figure, the dazzling silver cloak billowing crazily, or the black horse with only four hooves underneath him, The snow-white divine horse...

One man and one horse, but he suddenly ran out of the majestic momentum of thousands of troops.

——It was also the black-haired snow-hoofed divine horse that was famous for its majesty and ferocity in the battle with King Xiang's giant deer, and whose coat and color were so unique that anyone could recognize it at a glance, was brought to everyone instantly. Great shock and fear.

In the flash of lightning, everyone suddenly understood the identity of the visitor!

Chen Yu's face suddenly turned pale.

Although the distance is still far and the characteristics of the double pupils cannot be seen clearly, the unique Taoxue Wuzui alone is enough to prove the name!

Except for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who is unparalleled in the world, who else can control such a powerful horse, and can kill Ling Yun with just one hand!

The general was so frightened that he turned pale and blurted out: Why is Xiang Jiao here in person!!!

Is this not the question of everyone present?

Not to mention that they only had 2,000 men, the Chu army guarding the city was already several times their number. At this time, there were commotions one after another, and there were sounds from the city gate, and dignitaries were leaving the city to meet their king.

As we all know, as long as the Chu Overlord is in the formation, the Chu army's military spirit will remain strong, invincible, and invincible!

Just looking at the majestic momentum and thinking about Xiang Yu's evil reputation, they were almost out of their minds. How could they dare to confront him face to face!

Chen Yu made a decision immediately: What are you doing standing still? Why don't you retreat quickly!

As soon as the words fell, the two thousand cavalry followers retreated quickly without hesitation - obviously, regardless of

No one wanted to face the fearsome overlord directly.

They ran quickly, but Lu Bu was dumbfounded.

Because these people were running in all directions, they wanted to scatter a handful of beans on the ground.

Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't catch up.

Even though Lu Bu was stubborn, he refused to give up. He yelled and chased them away for a while, but he only left two corpses with a single shot.

The cold wind was blowing, Lu Bu's face was tense, and when he was excitedly surrounded by the Chu army coming out of the city and entered the city, he was still confused.

——Why was he running here alone, but before he even had time to touch a hair, everyone on the other side was frightened and ran away?

Lu Bu was puzzled.

Is my reputation so powerful that it scares these losers?

I wanted to feel a little proud, but I felt like something wasn't quite right.

He had no idea that the reason why he was traveling so fast was in vain because the proud Wu Zui underneath him and its serious owner... stole all the credit.
