Free Web NovelChapter 203: Li Guo Tricks Lü Bu, Long Chen Descends with Divine Soldiers
Li Jue saw Lü Bu’s anger and quickly led his troops to retreat up the mountain.
"Li Jue, you coward! Where are you fleeing to? Leave your life behind!!"
Lü Bu roared, rushing like thunder, swift as a dragon.
However,
Just as the army charged to the foot of the mountain, a sneer appeared on Li Jue’s face. He stood with hands on his hips on the hilltop, coldly staring at Lü Bu.
Mockingly, he said, "Lü Bu, oh Lü Bu, why are you still the same after all this time! You’ve made no progress at all."
"You might as well be a watchdog under my lord, no need to strain your brain, just obey orders."
These words undoubtedly negated Lü Bu’s intelligence, though others considered him brave but foolish.
Lü Bu himself did not think so.
Proud and repeatedly mocked by Li Jue, imagine how bad his mood must have been.
Red Hare understood its master’s intentions and accelerated once more.
At that moment,
Li Jue raised his right hand high, swiftly gesturing to his men, shouting, "Release!!!"
The sound was like a booming bell, the momentum magnificent.
With the sound came countless arrows and stones.
Speeding down through the air.
Li Jue’s army occupied the high ground and struck the lower ground.
The speed at which the arrows fell multiplied geometrically, like a sudden fierce storm.
Lü Bu’s army encountered stubborn resistance from the tough Bingzhou soldiers, making it difficult to advance up the mountain!
The situation persisted for more than half an hour.
Even Lü Bu had hundreds of sharpshooters aiming directly at him. Arrows transformed into all sorts of fierce beasts, carrying explosive effects.
Beside him, Zhang Liao either deflected or pierced the arrows flying towards Lü Bu, and said softly:
"Master, the enemy holds the high ground, with arrows falling upon us, a disadvantage for our army!"
"Already, thousands of brothers have died. Shouldn’t we retreat for now and fight another day?"
Although impulsive, Lü Bu was not someone who disregarded reason.
Seeing the increasingly unfavorable situation of his army, he swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji. A dragon-shaped flame shot out, engulfing a large swath of arrows ahead.
At the same time, Gao Shun shouted, "Retreat!!"
His eyes seemed to spew out blazing fire as he glared angrily at Li Jue and shouted:
"Li Jue!! You are just a cowardly turtle, unwilling to face me openly in battle, instead resorting to these treacherous deeds!"
"If you have the guts, come down!!!"
Li Jue sneered a few times without saying a word, ordering the archers at his side to shoot to kill.
Thus, hundreds of arrows rained down.
Lü Bu wielded his Fang Tian Hua Ji like a windmill, effortlessly deflecting them. Then, swiftly from the side of Red Hare, he took out a bow.
His veins bulged as muscles instantly congealed into knots, the bowstring forming a full moon shape.
His eyes narrowed, releasing his right hand.
Whoosh!!!
The bow instantly erupted into a terrifying roar, like a mad dragon roaring in the deep sea.
The arrows shot out transformed into the phantom of a real dragon, glaring fiercely, as swift as thunder!
Pfft —
Li Jue’s guards raised their shields to protect Li Jue, but the power of this arrow was too terrifying.
It pierced through the heavy armor of the shield and then through the chest of the soldiers.
Until it reached Li Jue.
Sweating cold, Li Jue was horrified to find that Lü Bu’s arrow, as powerful as a dragon, had killed four guards standing in front of him.
Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and Lü Bu was shooting from horseback.
This prevented Li Jue from being killed by this arrow.
Terrifying!
In Li Jue’s mind, there was only one word: terrifying. Lü Bu was truly the ceiling among generals.
"But even if your martial arts are outstanding, what of it!? Under my strategy, you will still taste defeat on the battlefield!"
Li Jue smiled ominously.
Just as Lü Bu was regretting that this arrow did not hit Li Jue,
Suddenly, a wolf rider came to report that Guo Si was attacking from behind.
Lü Bu hurriedly turned back to fight.
Only to hear the drums resounding loudly, Guo Si’s army had already retreated.
Lü Bu sighed in relief, intending to withdraw his troops, when the sound of gongs rang out, and Li Jue’s army returned.
Before Lü Bu could turn his army around to face Li Jue, Guo Si attacked from behind.
By the time Lü Bu arrived, the drums were already beating to withdraw the troops.
Repeated several times like this, Lü Bu’s Bingzhou army had long lost their morale.
Military strategy says: strike while the iron is hot, and when it wanes, retreat after three engagements.
And Lü Bu had already committed a great taboo of military tactics.
Zhang Liao at his side advised leaving the area after a successful assault, but Lü Bu, who was still angry, would not listen.
In this way, using the strategy of an eagle catching chicks, inflamed Lü Bu’s anger.
For several consecutive days, he desired battle but couldn’t engage, and wished to cease but was unable.
Meanwhile, Long Chen had long since deployed thirty thousand troops, hidden in ambush on both sides of the mountain forests.
Carrying his dual halberds, Dian Wei saw Lü Bu being teased like this, causing him to burst into laughter.
"Lord, I think this Lü Bu is truly foolish!"
"You all call me foolish."
"But in my opinion, Lü Bu is even more foolish than me!"
Xu Chu also laughed heartily, "Lord, you’re right. This scene really reminds me of the monkey teasing back in my hometown."
Long Chen waved his hand, interrupting the laughter, and said seriously, "Alright, enough of that. Let’s focus on the matter at hand."
"Now that the armies of Li Jue and Guo Si have weakened, it’s time for us to take action."
Li Jue and Guo Si’s tactic could indeed wear down Lü Bu’s army, leaving it exhausted and demoralized.
But similarly, their own army suffered the same fate. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Imagine a delicious meal right in front of you, yet you refrain from eating it.
The Bingzhou army was also suffering.
And at this moment, if a third party were to intervene, the outcome would be unpredictable!
While Lü Bu seethed with anger, Li Jue and Guo Si were secretly pleased.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck.
It thundered down directly onto the path where Guo Si’s army was planning to retreat, completely shattering their morale.
In ancient times, thunder was a sign of the appearance of a celestial being.
Shocked by this, the soldiers of the Western Liang exclaimed in fear:
"The celestial being has descended! The celestial being has descended!!"
"Run! Run for your lives!!"
Guo Si hastily ordered his officers to execute any fleeing soldiers on the spot to prevent the army from collapsing.
Following this, there was the thunderous sound of galloping horses.
Guo Si’s face showed astonishment as he looked left and right into the forest. There, he saw about three thousand cavalrymen clad in dark golden heavy armor charging towards them.
Their killing intent soared!
At the forefront was a handsome warrior dressed in silver unicorn armor, with thunder and lightning gathering on both sides of his body.
He appeared like a thunder god descended to earth.
"What the hell! It’s Long Chen!! Damn it, didn’t I send someone to keep an eye on them?"
"How did they suddenly appear here?!"
Guo Si’s eyes showed disbelief.
However, the next moment, Long Chen’s three thousand elite soldiers descended like a heavy hammer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The momentum exuding from the elite soldiers was like that of fierce tigers in the mountains, overwhelming and terrifying! freёwebnovel.com
Combined with their unstoppable force!
They directly smashed through Guo Si’s Western Liang army.
Long Chen, amidst thousands of enemy troops, picked them off one by one. Those who encountered the sharp horns of the spear soldiers bled from their necks and fell beneath their horses.
