Chapter 1003 Extra Lu Bu: Kill a Khan before he dies

Lu Bu knew very well that in today's battle, facing nearly ten times the enemy, his only chance was to behead and kill the Xianbei Khan.

Perhaps it will make the Xianbei people lose their heads and lose their unified command, thus giving the Bingzhou cavalry a chance to break through in chaos.

Lu Bu, who was forced out of his life and death potential, had his combat power that was very amazing. Even though the Xianbei people suddenly rode a group of thousands of cavalry, they were stumbled on and shot, and they were slow to shoot.

The land was even shot like a white reed marshal, with a piece of arrow feathers on the white fur. The Han cavalry still approached calmly in a wedge-shaped formation, tearing a hole in the Xianbei Central Army formation and advancing unyieldingly.

The proportion of iron armor of the cavalry under Lu Bu was not very high, and the court did not have any institutional distribution, but it was not completely missing. Lu Bu still invested in some of the equipment through various channels.

Since the reunification of the world ten years ago, the steel forging technology of hydraulic forging hammers has gradually spread across the Central Plains. Compared with the new blast furnace ironmaking, these technologies are no longer limited to deployment in the Kansai area.

Even these workshops are controlled by the government, but there are always high-quality steel that will be sold through forged channels. The newly added steel armor in Lu Bu's army is also used to buy steel in this way and then build new forging workshops forged.

In the environment of the Great Unified Dynasty, the weapons of local troops should theoretically be unified and assigned by the court. However, Lu Bu is a legacy of a special historical period, and he maintained a tacit understanding of border trade with the court. Therefore, Liu Bei turned a blind eye to this case and did not investigate thoroughly, and he would not allow it in the future.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's equipment are allocated by the court, and you can use whatever you give it to. Guan, Zhang and Zhao never build their own military industry, which is a taboo. As the Duke of Zhongxing, these three generals know how to be a positive example of "getting the king and his subjects" for future generations.

Under such an environment, Lu Bu's army had at least 100 sets of full-body forged steel plate armor of the scale, and more than 1,000 sets of steel breastplates of the order of magnitude. Compared with Guan, Zhang and Zhao, his iron armor rate was less than 20% of those direct generals, but he was still very strong compared to the barbarians.

In addition, because this time, Lu Bu's army rushed to Yanhuyi for more than 600 miles and came to intercept and burn and loot, and the combat distance was too far, it was not suitable for large-scale use of iron armored heavy cavalry.

Traditional long-distance raids of hundreds of miles, light cavalry must change to one person, two horses or even three horses, depending on the speed of the journey.

But in the later West, when the Plate Armor Knight appeared, many knight masters needed to raise six horses—

The knight himself needs two horses to ride in turns to travel, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he will ride a horse that he usually does not need to carry things and only charges during wartime.

The remaining three horses were taken turns to be for one of the knights' entourages to ride, and helped the knight carry his full armor.

Nowadays, the troops under Lu Bu do not have a system of established "knight escorts" and only senior officers may have such treatment. But after all, those officers equipped with full-body plate armor must also be given five horses to keep up with the speed of the light cavalry unit.

"General, don't be reckless! Tuoba Liwei's central army still has at least 40,000 to 50,000 people. Our rear team was restrained by the enemy surrounded by two wings. How could he rush in!"

"Those who disobey military orders will be killed! You have followed me for many years. Are you trying to win a prosperous and famous future generations? Or do you have to be trapped in a mess! Let's do it yourself, and I will personally rush forward!"

Lu Bu shouted that he would fight hard and almost kill the people who shook the morale of the army. Fortunately, the most direct robes around him have followed him for at least twenty years. Lu Bu said so, but they did not disobey and continued to fight firmly.

"There are only these people left by Lu Bu, and you still have to rush to the lonely? Should you retreat?" Tuoba Liwei, who was far away, became even more terrified when he saw that Lu Bu had reached a place no more than three arrows away.

There was at least a hundred rows of cavalry walls in front of him, but Tuoba Liwei did not dare to ignore them at all.

Fortunately, the heroes of the grassland are more or less shameful. What’s more important is that these nomadic tribes are loosely organized. Whether it is the Shanyu or Khan, they do not rely on orthodoxy to maintain their rule, but rely on their character and prestige as respected by the strong to intimidate the tribes.

When the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty was cowardly when he encountered a battle, he could still be the emperor. No one would look down on him because of his timidity and find reasons to rebel.

Once the heroic lord on the grassland is lost, he will be replaced by other tribe leaders who were originally afraid of power but did not lose virtue.

Under the two battles, Tuoba Liwei still chose to believe in the Xianbei warriors with more than a hundred Taoist walls in front of him! They cannot retreat!

He pulled out his scimitar and shouted to fight hard, inspiring morale, and also made the central army increase its strength to brag about the horns to help the battle. For a moment, a whimper sounded across the grassland, and hundreds of ox horns were blown by the strong Xianbei man with the greatest lung capacity.

Inspired by this wave, the Xianbei cavalry was even more powerful as a hungry wolf, rushing towards Lu Bu layer by layer, like a crazi wave, shattering on the unmoving rock of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was soon covered in blood, of course all over his body was the blood of the Xianbei people. Fang Tian Hua Ji grew up and swung slowly, so it was not easy to use to block arrows.

Relying on his outstanding force, Lu Bu blocked at least a hundred arrows that shot at him and his war horses, but was still shot on the plate armor by at least dozens of arrows.

Lu Bu was very cautious. He knew that he could not shoot through in steel armor, so most of his energy was focused on killing enemies and snatching arrows for war horses.

After the Han Dynasty's imperial court had fully exchanged foreign trade and introduced technology twelve years ago, the elite cavalry of Liu Bei's camp had already begun to change into Parthian iron armor cavalry style horse armor in batches. It was a kind of equipment that inlaid steel armor pieces on hard leather linings.

The cavalry in Lu Bu's army also had a small number of senior officers equipped with such excellent horse armor, but after all, they could only cover the upper half of the front of the horse. The protection of the rear and four legs was still insufficient. The dense rain of arrows would still be injured.

What's even more difficult is that Lu Bu's horse is no longer the Red Rabbit Horse he rode more than 20 years ago. The service life of the war horse is not that long, and "The Red Rabbit Horse has been following Guan Yu to the Battle of Maicheng" is just a legend in the Romance.

Of course, Lu Bu's current war horses are also very good. The Red Rabbit Horse is not old enough to die, but he doesn't have the endurance to charge and stay at home to retire. The lifespan of a horse can generally be within 30 or 40 years, and the individual cases of well-maintenance can live longer.

The bloody rushing back and forth lasted for about a quarter of an hour. The cavalry wall on the front of Tuoba Liwei was torn apart by Lu Bu again for dozens of layers, but the Xianbei warriors of the central army were still rushing up from the back row to make up for the position, fighting to the death without retreating.

Both sides blocked the decisive battle of the entire army and even the entire clan, and they had no idea what the escape was.

Because most of Lu Bu's blocking energy was spent on protecting the horses, his own plate armor had gathered like a hedgehog, and three or four powerful arrows were inevitably shot into the crack of the armor, piercing into the muscles for several inches, gradually dripping blood.

Lu Bu's war horse was also injured in battle and died several times. He changed his fourth horse with the personal guards next to him.

The last iron-armored cavalry around him gradually decreased from the initial 1,700 to 1,300 to 1,300, and finally reached a precarious state of less than a thousand.

The corpses of people and horses were piled up all the way, which was a bloody road. The corpses of more than 800 iron-armored cavalry of the Han army, thousands of horse corpses from both sides, and at least three or four thousand Xianbei warriors, and the broken limbs and arms were sprinkled all the way, and blood flowed and pestles drifted.

Among the pile of corpses, hundreds of lost horses were also seriously injured. However, the warriors on both sides stood there and waved their swords to fight. From time to time, they were knocked down by the horses coming and going, and their tendons were broken and broken.

However, among them, there are also people who can cut off some horse legs with one blow, or knock down the enemy who rushed up and trampled them to slap them.

The more he rushed forward, the more obvious the resistance Lu Bu felt, because the last twenty or thirty layers of human walls in front of Tuoba Liwei were the best equipped and most trusted Khan guards among the Xianbei people. Their fighting will and Kong Wu were also the strongest in the Xianbei army.

Lu Bu continued to lose blood slowly because of the wounds of the arrows that shot into the crack of the armor, and gradually became a little overwhelmed. He finally realized that his age had become the biggest shortcoming.

Older people can still maintain their strength in their martial arts, but they are more of an advantage in explosive power and combat experience. In terms of moves, they are indeed becoming more and more demonic as they get older. However, the endurance of fighting protracted wars is obviously not as strong as young people.

In another world, Zhao Yun can kill five generals with force, and Huang Zhong can attack and kill Xiahou Yuan, which is also based on the quick battle. When it comes to a series of bloody battles and a few hours of fierce battles, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who are in their seventies, will soon be exhausted.

"Even if you can assassinate Tuoba Liwei, you will be unable to break through... Is there going to end today..."

Lu Bu felt a little cold in his heart, but his subordinates were not slow. In an instant, he killed more than ten people in a row. However, because of distracting, he was finally stabbed by a gun on the other side of the rib. The enemy general who attacked was naturally unstable and was stabbed to death by Lu Bu.

Fortunately, the plate armor was tough and smooth enough, and Lu Bu suddenly twisted his waist and dodged to the side at the last moment, which more or less formed a "jump" and slid the spear away, leaving a deep mark on the steel armor.

Even so, Lu Bu's body was shocked. After all, he was hit by the huge force of the horses on both sides hedging at full speed. He felt that he could hardly raise his waist and ribs in one breath, and he had some internal injuries.

After being injured internally, Lu Bu became a spiritual platform and entered a state of selflessness.

Knowing that he couldn't break through, he didn't think about breaking through, and his moves became more and more smooth and effortless. Lu Bu felt that he had never been as smooth as he was today in his life.

Even if I had fought Guo Si one-on-one at the South Gate of Chang'an 18 years ago, or if I had fought Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Zhao Yun and others in Luoyang 22 years ago, I was not so happy.

After completely letting go of the subsequent breakthrough and distributing his physical strength, Lu Bu broke through the last twenty enemy cavalry defense lines, and instead accelerated. It really caught Tuoba Liwei off guard.

Originally, Tuoba Liwei was gradually proud. Seeing Lu Bu's breakthrough efficiency getting slower and slower, he felt that he would definitely not have to abandon his army and flee in the face of battle. He could preserve the Khan's majesty and make all the troops still fear their majesty.

Unexpectedly, the old man Lu Bu clearly showed such fatigue and was injured several times. The personal guards around him were also suffering more and more severe injuries. Although the breakthrough speed was reduced by more than half, it suddenly became faster than the peak period.

When Tuoba Li reacted slightly, it was too late to escape.

When the two sides were less than the last ten levels of war horses, Tuoba Li quickly turned his horse back and took the more than a hundred cavalry around him back. Lu Bu was already shooting randomly. The dozens of soldiers who could still keep up with Lu Bu also shot together. Both sides were fancy and fell down many horses.

In the panic, Tuoba Liwei's horse was also injured and had to change his personal guards. Lu Bu had already come to the front. In the chaos, Tuoba Liwei's last personal guards could only fight to the death and stand in front of the Khan.

Lu Bu beat the horses wildly, drawing all the war horses out of bleeding, increasing the speed to the fastest, and sweeping and stabbing them wildly, and the enemies were torn out several feet deep wounds, and the death was terrible.

"The thief is killed!" Lu Bu raised all his strength and raised his hand to make a move two feet away from Khan. After stabbing the two guards in front of Tuoba Liwei, even the tic-shaped branch of the halberd broke and remained in the guards' bodies.

But the spearhead of the Huaji, which had lost the resistance of the branch, still penetrated through it, stabbed it into Tuoba Liwei's chest, and killed Khan on the spot.

Lu Bu's painting halberd was broken and pierced three corpses like candied haws. The twisted knot was powerless to pull it out. He had to draw out his sword and slash and fight crazily, and continue to force him up and slash Tuoba Liwei's head with one sword.

Because he hastily switched to short weapons, blocking them is very unfavorable. In a moment, Lu Bu, who was full of armor, was also shot down and dropped off his horse. His horse could not bear the stings swarming from all directions. Only the iron armor on his body could barely withstand the attack.

Lu Bu added seven or eight external and internal injuries all over his body, which was considered to be a new iron spear that he had left behind by his comrades-dead, and continued to change horses and kill the battle. However, looking back at the iron armored robe that followed him, the alive ones were not even three or five hundred cavalry.

Almost all of the Han cavalry with only breastplate had died in battle. Some of the officers with plate armor were all over the body, but at least half of them were already fighting in stomping.

"Tuoba Liwei is dead! The whole army quickly shouted with me! Only when the morale of the Xianbei people collapsed will we have the chance!" Lu Bu was covered in blood, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his desire to survive was revived, letting the soldiers shout together.

But he soon discovered an unexpected problem: the Xianbei people did not believe in any orthodox theory, they believed that the strong were respected. Therefore, when Khan died, others could still continue to fight to the death under the leadership of the clan chiefs of their respective tribes.
