Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The night is deep and the sky is full of stars.

A team of patrolling soldiers holding lanterns and armed with swords and guns walked past the central army tent. The personal soldiers guarding the door followed their gazes and someone spoke in confusion.

"These people don't walk heavily, how come there is a tremor..."

"Come...someone."

A weak voice came from the big tent. Several soldiers outside suddenly shut up and quickly turned around and ran inside. A burly body in the daytime was sitting at the table, gasping for breath. The dim light of the lamp flickered, making the face look sickly.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Several personal guards were startled and hurriedly took two steps forward. Yelu Neri shook his hand and said with a weak breath: "Go and call the military doctor for me. I have a stomachache. Let him come and see me."

"Yes."

A guard hurried out, and Yelu Nianli heard a rumbling sound from his stomach. His old face frowned and he stood up slightly. While wondering if the trouble was caused by drinking the cold water, he lowered his eyes and looked at the cold water in the bowl. Ripples appeared on the water under the light.

"Ok?"

King Qin Jin stood up straight with his legs exerting force and watched the ripples in the water in the bowl. Several standing guards also noticed something unusual.

"What happened?"

"The earth dragon turns over? Be careful, my king."

However, as he spoke, the water shook even more violently, the ripples became more turbulent, water droplets gradually jumped up in the bowl, and the originally imperceptible vibrations under his feet became even more intense.

Yelu Neri, who was suffering from abdominal pain, reacted immediately. His eyes widened and he yelled, "Cavalry! Go and shout!" Then he covered his stomach and squeezed his back, his face twisted, "Damn it..." A guard reacted faster and rushed out of the tent and shouted to the dark military camp around him, "Enemy attack--"

The loud voice echoed in the night sky. The patrolling soldiers heard the sound and blew the horn. The sleeping soldiers woke up and felt the ground shaking violently. They got up in panic to find their weapons and armor, and stumbled out of the tent with their comrades. The noisy sounds were mixed together.

Boom boom boom——

The horses' hooves wrapped in cloth made a loud noise as they approached the tent. Chaos was happening outside the camp. Soldiers patrolling outside were swept into the camp by the surging waves, splashing some blood and then there was silence.

On the sentry tower of the front camp, the soldiers on duty lit the fire arrows and shot them outside. The burning light drew an orange arc, breaking through the darkness. Smoke and dust rose above the fields and rolled into the air. Countless horses' hooves trampled the ground, and figures in armor and holding guns swayed up and down with the rise and fall of the war horses.

The flaming arrows fell with tails of flame. At the sentry post outside the camp, a captain of the Liao army led a team of 100 people to set up a defense. The people holding shields and spears watched the falling flaming arrows being submerged in the surging tide of anger. Some of them couldn't help but clench their teeth up and down. The captain's legs and feet felt a little weak. He stood there with a knife in his hand. His mind was blank, not knowing how to react. He uttered two meaningless syllables, "Ah...ah...", and some Liao army soldiers dropped their swords and spears and turned around to run towards the camp.

The captain suddenly turned around and ran. Soon he had surpassed his subordinates in front of him. He heard screams from the back. When he looked back, he saw a large group of cavalrymen rushing towards him like a raging tide. In his sight, the blood-stained Zhangba Snake Spear was in front of him. It stretched forward, swung, and immediately swept him into the black tide. Screams, the sound of flesh and bones bursting burst out from under the horses' hooves.

At the forefront of the raging tide, Lu Bu slowed down, hung up his halberd and drew his bow. An arrow appeared in his hand at some point. The bowstring tightened with a slight sound, and then with a hum, the arrow disappeared into the bow and flew towards the sentry tower over there.

Upstairs, the Liao soldiers who shot flaming arrows were holding gongs and beating them. The golden sounds of "dang dang dang" exploded in the night sky. Suddenly, he felt a burning pain behind him. A huge force carried him out of the sentry tower. He watched in astonishment as the image moved quickly upwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Break the door—"

Lü Bu reined in Red Hare. As the beast stood up, he fired three arrows in succession. The warning sound from the nearby watchtower suddenly disappeared. Several riders rushed out from behind him. They were all big and strong. Their mounts looked majestic. Each rider had a stake as thick as his calf tucked under his armpit. They roared, “Ahhhh—” and galloped forward. Boom—

The gate shook violently, and people and horses fell to the ground.

"Drink-"

The cavalrymen at the rear followed closely, using the momentum of their galloping horses and the battering rams they were carrying to slam the gate hard. The force of the two impacts caused half of the door to open, while the other side fell to the ground with a bang.

"Come on -"

Red Hare turned in a circle in the dark, and when Lu Bu saw the gate collapse, he kicked his horse's belly and quickly ran away. The swarming figures behind him roared and stared excitedly at the Liao soldiers who were running towards the gate.

"Break through here and kill the central army—"

"kill!"

The cavalrymen of Lu Bu's army, wearing black armor, bravely followed their own general of cavalry and rushed into the gate like a flood.

Hundreds of patrol soldiers who had been hastily assembled hastily set up shields and mounted spears in the front row, attempting to block the advancing cavalry.

The extended spear pierced into the horse's body. The charging warhorse, with its momentum still unabated, crashed into the shield with a bang. The Liao soldiers behind it suddenly flew up and pressed down the spearmen behind it, who screamed and fell down. Then more horses' hooves stepped down and were trampled under the feet of Lu Bu's cavalry.

The bones and flesh burst with a sound under the tremendous force. A fiery red figure rushed forward quickly. With a halberd, Lu Bu swept the man and his shield away. A long spear stabbed at the side. He turned his waist and chopped down the person who was blocking his way with a halberd in one hand. With the other hand, he reached down, grabbed the spear and slammed it hard. "Ah!" A scream was heard. The soldier with bloody palms stood there shouting, and was hit on the head by an axe from Yu Cheng behind him. He fell to the ground and died immediately.

"Attack the central army! Attack the central army!"

The black tide surged into the gate. The cavalry of Lu Bu's army dispersed skillfully, hacking and stabbing. In the blood, the Liao soldiers screamed and fell down. The soldiers who rode by picked up the bonfire, and the flames fell on the tent, igniting the felt, which burst into flames in the dry weather.

Amidst the sounds of countless fighting and shouting, Lu Bu's loud and clear voice was heard, and the soldiers reined in their horses, turned around and galloped forward.

Around them, more Liao soldiers, some wearing armor and some naked, began to gather in formation. But before they could gather together, the cavalrymen rushed over at full speed and slammed into the crowd fiercely. Their bodies fell to the ground as they swung their spears and swords, with blood flowing out of their wounds.

As the cavalry rushed forward, Tong Lihe led hundreds of Liao soldiers to intercept them. He brandished a large spear in his hand and stabbed at the oncoming Lü Bu, shouting, "I am the general under the command of King Qin Jin—Tong Lihe!"

"die--"

The red warhorse came galloping over, the Fang Tian Huaji in one hand was held upside down, and the spear in the other hand was thrown out fiercely. A black shadow flashed between the two people like lightning, and there was a "puff" sound.

Tong Lihe looked at the man who was about to throw the spear in astonishment. His chest was pierced by a spear. Blood gushed out from his back along the spear tip. The whole man was sent flying backwards by the force, and fell to the ground with a bang. He slid back a few feet before stopping.

"General Wuming, please don't block the way!"

After throwing a spear, Lu Bu didn't even bother to look at the result, and charged straight into the Liao army. The cavalry behind him followed him as the spearhead and advanced inward. Wherever they passed, blood flowed like a river. Whenever the Liao army wanted to form a formation, Shi Wengong, Du Fu, and Wang De in the rear would lead their troops to kill them.

The horses' hooves shook as they charged through the front camp. (End of this chapter)
