Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 72: Horseback Riding or Bull Riding?

Wei Xiaobao saw more and more villages and more and more corpses along the way, and he knew that he was getting closer and closer to Cao Cao's team.

Sure enough, within half a day, they could see dust rising in the distance and flags blocking out the sun.

Wei Xiaobao wondered in his heart, "Where did that old fellow Cao Cao get so many able-bodied men? Or has Yuan Shao also brought his men to attack Xia Pi?"

Wei Xiaobao didn't know how to march and fight, and he didn't dare to believe that Cao Cao had so many troops now. He could only make random guesses while chasing forward.

Following at the end of the marching team were the baggage train and the rear guard troops. When they saw a fast horse chasing them, they sent a small team to meet it.

The leader stopped Wei Xiaobao's horse and shouted, "Who are you?"

Although Wei Xiaobao could see the army's flag, he didn't recognize it. He just asked, as he had before about Lü Bu's army, "I'm here to join the army. Which general's army does this belong to?"

The man saw that he was small in stature but rode a fine horse and said, "How can you fight with your physique when you can't even lift a spear or halberd? Could you be a refugee who wants to join the army for a meal?"

Wei Xiaobao cursed in his heart, "Damn it! Whose soldiers are these that look down on me like that? When Lu Bu's soldiers heard I wanted to join the army, they wanted to send me to see their commander in a sedan chair. You little bastard, you can't even speak properly."

Wei Xiaobao was angry and was about to ride his horse forward, but just as he pulled the reins, the man grabbed them.

The man said, "Your horse is nice, but you don't look worthy of it. You might have stolen it from somewhere. Come, arrest this horse thief."

The horse suddenly reared up, its front hooves dancing wildly in the air, and kicked the man on the head, causing his eyeball to burst and die. The others did not dare to move forward, and each raised their spears and stabbed wildly.

The horse didn't need Wei Xiaobao's command, it dodged by moving left and right on its own.

Wei Xiaobao was worried that Lu Zhi's horse might be injured, so he dismounted and stood in front of it, holding a dagger in his hand and cursing, "If you have the guts, come after me. Don't use such despicable means to hurt my horse."

The general of the rear army saw that there was chaos on Wei Xiaobao's side and brought his men over.

The general, riding on his horse, pointed at Wei Xiaobao with his whip and asked, "Who is he? Why are you surrounding him?"

One soldier said, "He not only stole the horses, but also killed our squad leader."

The general stared at the horse behind Wei Xiaobao for a few seconds and asked, "Where did you get your horse?"

Wei Xiaobao cursed, "Your grandfather's mother was born to your great-grandmother."

The general smiled and said, "Good boy, you are still talking nonsense even when you are about to die."

After saying this, the general dismounted, pushed through the crowd and came to Wei Xiaobao. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and asked, "Did you kill him?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I killed him, so what? Who told him to steal my horse?"

The general said, "This horse is indeed not an ordinary warhorse. I never thought you, so skinny and weak, could smash someone's head with one punch."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "This unfortunate fellow's head was smashed by a horse's hoof, not by me. Since you say so, I'll pretend to admit it first, scare the shit out of you, and then find a chance to escape."

Wei Xiaobao said: "If I punch you on the head, it will explode."

The general said, "Well, well, in that case, let's have a duel. If you lose, you can keep your head and horse."

The soldiers around him wanted to tell the general the truth, but after hearing what he said, they all shut up and waited for the general to avenge their sergeant.

Wei Xiaobao asked, "What if I win?"

The general said, "Then let you go, and we won't hold you accountable for murder."

Wei Xiaobao observed the man carefully. He was dressed in dark clothes, with bright eyes. Two weapon handles protruded from his shoulders, and his arms were tightly wrapped in military uniform. He thought to himself, "This man is as strong as an ox. If I really fight him, I have no chance of winning."

Wei Xiaobao said, "I'm not good at weapons, but I'm strong in fists and feet."

The general laughed and said, "In that case, I will just compete with you in boxing and kicking." Wei Xiaobao pounced on him before he could finish speaking.

The general smiled again and reached out to grab Wei Xiaobao's collar.

Wei Xiaobao dodged it easily with his agile feet.

The general exclaimed, secretly wondering how Wei Xiaobao dodged it.

Wei Xiaobao had already circled behind him and punched him in the back.

The general laughed, turned around and said, "So your strength is only this much."

As he said this, he clasped his fists together and smashed down on Wei Xiaobao's head.

Wei Xiaobao dodged with a strange posture again, but he didn't expect that the general's move from top to bottom was a feint. At this time, he stretched out his foot to block Wei Xiaobao's way, and his whole body collided with Wei Xiaobao.

If an ordinary person bumped into Wei Xiaobao like this, both of them would definitely take a few steps back, and it would not be easy to catch Wei Xiaobao.

However, the general was so muscular that he knocked Wei Xiaobao so hard that he felt dizzy, but he himself did not move at all.

Wei Xiaobao was holding his forehead and shaking his head when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. A big hand had grabbed the back of his neck, and another hand was supporting his lower back, lifting him up horizontally.

Wei Xiaobao was like a tortoise that had been overturned, his limbs flailing in the air. He heard the general below him laugh loudly and ask, "Do you want to be thrown to death, or do you want your head chopped off?"

Suddenly, Wei Xiaobao remembered the three heroic moves that Hong Antong taught him. While the other party was laughing, he quickly twisted his buttocks and rolled his whole body backwards from the big hand. He hugged his head and slid his legs with the handles of the two weapons to his neck. The dagger in his hand was against the man's eyes.

The general cursed, "We agreed not to use weapons, why are you cheating?"

Wei Xiaobao cursed, "Damn it! I only said I'm not good with weapons, but I didn't say I don't use them. You said we'd only fight with fists and feet, but I didn't agree. This move of mine is like Guan Yu riding his Red Hare or Qin Shubao riding his Yellow Horse. No, it's called Di Qing Conquering the Dragon. How can I subdue you without a dagger?"

The general said, "Red Hare was Lu Bu's mount. When did it become Guan Yu's horse?"

Wei Xiaobao knocked him on the head and cursed, "What I say is what it is. But now I am no longer Di Qing subduing the dragon, but Lord Wei riding a big black bull!"

The general was already furious when he was ridden on by the general, and when he heard him insulting him as a big black bull, he could only scream as the general held his eyelids against his weapon.

Wei Xiaobao watched the team ahead of him go far away and thought to himself, "As long as I get on my horse, no matter how many of you there are, you won't be able to catch up with me."

Wei Xiaobao pulled the general's ear and said, "Big Black Bull, be obedient and go over and lead your grandfather's horse."

The general walked over with Wei Xiaobao on his back and reached out to grab the reins.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Please give me a ride. I'll let you go when we get to a safe place ahead."

Wei Xiaobao was riding on the general's neck in the opposite direction of the march when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts from behind him: "How dare you make trouble here during the march? How many heads do you have for the lord to chop off?"

Wei Xiaobao felt the voice was familiar, so he pulled the general under him and turned around. He saw a man riding towards him with an angry face.

The man also saw Wei Xiaobao in mid-air at this time.

They were both shocked at the same time.

The man quickly dismounted and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"

Wei Xiaobao also asked, "General Xiahou is here, where is your master?"

The person who came was Xiahou Dun.
