Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 453 Iron Eagle Warrior! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2023…7409~)

As hundreds of Iron Pagodas rushed into the formation, Lu Bu's army of more than 29,000 people was immediately thrown into chaos!

The screams and shouts of killing drowned out the commands of Qin Mi and others.

Seeing this, Qin Mi could only slowly retreat to the back under the protection of a group of soldiers.

As all of Liu Bei’s army’s iron pagodas rushed into the formation, they were followed by a thousand rattan armor soldiers!
When approaching Lu Bu's army, this group of rattan armor soldiers also began to attack.

Although the defense is high and the attack is low, being able to withstand beatings on the battlefield means that you can live longer.

And only those who are alive are qualified to continue outputting!
The arrival of the Iron Pagoda and the Rattan Armor Soldiers alone had already caused considerable damage to Lu Bu's army.

After these two special troops, nearly 30,000 ordinary infantry and cavalry arrived!
They also quickly engaged in a melee with Lu Bu's army.

Generals such as Xiahou Dun could only barely maintain a small-scale formation to prevent the team from being completely dispersed, and thus were unable to organize an effective resistance.

Behind these 30,000 newly joined soldiers, a figure was sitting on a wooden four-wheeled cart, being pushed forward by soldiers.

The person in the car looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had a well-mannered appearance and a calm aura.

Under the cover of night and the light of torches, he looked like an old man in his twilight years.

Yet, he has a youthful vigor and vitality that an old man does not have!

This person was none other than the young Zhuge who had been preparing in Ju County for a long time!
He had painstakingly transferred these 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers from Qingzhou, and had already compressed Qingzhou's defenses as much as possible.

If there were a rebellion by bandits in Qingzhou at this time, it would be quite dangerous.

But right now, in order to capture Lu Bu or his important subordinates alive, this risk is worth taking!
Zhuge Liang looked at the obvious suppression of the enemy by his own soldiers and searched for any trace of Lu Bu among the enemy.

However, no matter how he looked, he did not see the familiar figure.

Zhuge Liang's mood quickly turned sour.

The figure riding the red warhorse was nowhere to be seen, which meant that the other party might have temporarily abandoned his subordinates and fled alone.

If this is the case, with Chang Xi and Yin Li's strength, I'm afraid they may not be able to stop Lu Bu...

Besides, these two men were born bandits, and I don’t know if they can be trusted.

If they had not captured Qingzhou and Jizhou in a short period of time, there would have been many important counties that needed trusted generals to guard them.

He also didn't want to send these two former thieves to block Lu Bu's retreat.

This time, Lu Bu attacked them while they were still unstable, and he really chose the right time.

They wanted to really capture Lu Bu, but that was only the ideal situation.

Therefore, their main strategic goal this time was to pretend to target Lu Bu, but in fact to consume as much enemy force as possible, or even capture their important generals.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to achieve the ideal state.

But it is definitely possible to deplete the enemy's military strength.

Next, it all depends on our luck and whether we can capture some important enemy generals.

When it comes to actual combat, Zhuge Liang can't be of much help.

Although he has practiced martial arts as much as possible to ensure his physical strength.

But because he often has to work at a desk, he has much less time to practice martial arts.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to train yourself to be a brave warrior.

After all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too…

As time went by, Lu Bu's army of 30,000 soldiers had been reduced to 21,000! However, Zhuge Liang's army still had 45,000 people.

The situation on both sides reversed instantly!

Just when Zhuge Liang thought that this battle would be a complete victory, a huge army suddenly appeared in the southeast!

Qin Mi and others were the first to discover the appearance of this army. They immediately turned around and looked to the south, their faces suddenly changed!
Could it be that the enemy troops ambushed in Lanshan in the rear have also begun to surround us? !
But didn’t the lord say that he would deal with these enemies? Why didn’t he do it?

With my lord's strength, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

If the troops coming here are really enemy troops, I am afraid they will have a hard time waiting for Lu Bu to lead the army to rescue them.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, the sharp-eyed Cao Chun suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Look! The one riding the red horse, could it be Lord Chu?!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately focused their attention on the most conspicuous red horse.

That unique and terrifying speed, and that familiar figure on horseback, who else could it be other than Lu Bu? !

After confirming the other party's identity, Qin Mi and others were both suspicious and happy!

Logically speaking, no matter how fast Lord Chu was, it would take at least half an hour for him to arrive with reinforcements from the East Sea Kingdom.

Why can the other party bring reinforcements now?

Could it be that General Yan Yan of the Donghai Kingdom realized that the situation was not good and took the initiative to lead his troops to provide support?

What about the enemy troops in Lanshan?
We can't defeat them so quickly, can we?

After Qin Mi thought for a while, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Could it be that the Duke of Chu used his eloquent tongue to incite the enemy troops ambushed in the rear to rebel?
How else to explain their return so quickly?
While Qin Mi was thinking about this, Lu Bu had already rushed up to them and shouted loudly:
"I have persuaded Generals Chang Xi and Yin Li to help our army in the battle!

"Brothers, please don't hurt them by mistake! They all have white cloth wrapped around their necks!"

Because the situation was urgent, Chang Xi and Yin Li's soldiers were originally wearing Liu Bei's army uniforms and armor.

The armor must not be taken off, and taking off the military uniform will only waste time.

Lu Bu then asked them to tear a piece of white cloth from their inner clothes and tie it around their necks to distinguish themselves from Liu Bei's army.

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Qin Mi showed an expression of "as expected", and his admiration for Lu Bu continued to surge from the bottom of his heart!
This Lord Chu is indeed completely different from the previous evaluation that he was brave but not wise.

In addition to possessing absolute martial arts skills, he also possesses extraordinary brain power!

How could such a talented person not achieve great things?

As Lu Bu returned with reinforcements, all the soldiers cheered excitedly!

The morale that had been suppressed suddenly rebounded!

In addition, Lu Bu took the lead and charged towards the enemy.

Under the personal leadership of the monarch, the originally one-sided situation was reversed in an instant!
Zhuge Liang, who was at the rear of the army, looked at the sudden appearance of Lü Bu and the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Chang Xi and Yin Li that he had brought back. He suddenly stood up from his four-wheeled cart and cursed angrily:

"The human heart is really the most unpredictable! Chang Xi and Yin Li are two bastards, they really can't change their bad habits!

"But don't think you can defeat our army with just 10,000 bandits!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang waved his hand!
The two thousand guards around him, holding shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, immediately rushed towards the enemy!
They were not riding horses, nor were they wearing thick armor, and even the weapons in their hands were not very long.

But they all have a restrained aura and eyes as sharp as eagles!
This is another special troupe that Zhuge Liang created based on the experience left over from the Qin State:
Iron Eagle Warrior!
