"So it's General Lü. You may see my lord, but I must first inform him. Please retreat ten miles and set up camp. Once my lord agrees, I will allow you into the city!"

Xue Rengui's words were complete nonsense; he was simply following Qin Xuan's orders to stop Lü Bu from entering Xuzhou.

"Ahhhhhh, what did you say? You want us to retreat ten miles? What do you mean by that? Form the entire army and break through Xiaopei!"

Lu Bu was thoroughly enraged by Xue Rengui's words. He was the dignified Marquis Wen of the Han Dynasty, with a superior status. How dare you ask me to retreat ten miles? Isn't this like defecating on my neck? Don't I have any dignity?

Therefore, he wanted to seize this opportunity to take control of Xiaopei in one fell swoop, thereby gaining an advantageous position at the negotiating table.

Chen Gong witnessed everything Lü Bu did, but he didn't offer any opinion, simply watching leisurely.

In his mind, although Lü Bu lacked strategic vision, his martial prowess was top-notch, and taking Xiaopei was as easy as killing a chicken.

"Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~!"

At Lü Bu's command, the 10,000 troops behind him quickly took their positions, forming a fish-scale formation. Three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry were in the center, followed by a square formation of archers wielding bows and arrows. The infantry with long shields on both flanks stood as immovable as a copper wall and iron barrier, while soldiers with long spears hid behind their shields, awaiting their commander's orders.

Concentrating the main force in the center, arranged in a tiered formation with a slightly convex front, and resembling fish scales in its overall shape, this formation is suitable for concentrating forces to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's center or city walls.

"Hehe!" Xue Rengui, standing on the city wall of Xiaopei, saw that Lü Bu had actually formed a siege formation and was preparing to launch an attack. He simply let out a contemptuous laugh, as if mocking Lü Bu.

"General Lü, since you won't listen to advice, then don't blame me, Xue, for being ruthless. Open the city gates!"

As he spoke, Xue Rengui was about to lead the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to teach the other side a lesson.

"Alright, let's fight!"

Lu Bu also wanted to fight the other party to see what kind of strength he really had!

"Boom! Boom!"

As the heavy city gates slowly opened, Xue Rengui, wielding a halberd and carrying a thunderous bow, rode his white jade steed and led five hundred Great Snow Dragon Riders out of the city.

Upon seeing Xue Rengui and the Great Snow Dragon Riders, gasps of astonishment rippled through Lü Bu's army, with some whispering amongst themselves, including Lü Bu himself.

"Gongtai, I...I have never seen such elite cavalry before. This...Is this really not me...Am I seeing things?" Lu Bu stammered in Chen Gong's ear.

The Snow Dragon Riders were truly awe-inspiring to him. Each of them rode a white horse clad in white armor, wielded a long spear, wore a long sword at their waist, and carried a powerful crossbow on their back. They were fully armed from head to toe, without any flaws.

These are heavy cavalry! Although we haven't fought them yet, they look like elite troops. Compared to my own elite Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, these are just trash cavalry.

"Feng...Fengxian, shall we do as he says and retreat ten li?" Chen Gong's mind was blank at this point, and he was starting to feel a little scared.

Lu Bu is the kind of person who is easily swayed. If you tell him not to do something, he will still try it. The reason why Wang Yun was able to successfully use the beauty trap was because he knew Lu Bu very well. He told Lu Bu not to compete with Dong Zhuo for the beauty, but Lu Bu insisted on doing so and eventually assassinated Dong Zhuo.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Gong's advice to back down, he immediately became impulsive.

"Retreat? I won't give that order. I'm just looking forward to fighting them! What the hell is this 'elite'? I'm the one who's going to take down this intimidating elite force!"

With that, he brandished his halberd and charged towards Xue Rengui on horseback, shouting, "Brothers, kill him!"

Lu Bu's act of taking the lead greatly encouraged his soldiers, and Zhang Liao and others led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to follow closely behind, charging towards the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

Gao Shun led his 800 elite troops to form a defensive formation at the front of the battle line, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.

"Hahaha, well done! Great Snow Dragon Riders, attack!" Facing Lü Bu's attack, Xue Rengui did not back down at all and immediately spurred his horse to charge towards Lü Bu.

Behind him, five hundred Snow Dragon Riders charged straight at the Bingzhou Wolf Riders like a white lightning bolt.

Facing the menacing Lu Bu, Xue Rengui did not dodge at all. Seeing Lu Bu swinging his halberd at a tricky angle, he urged his white jade horse to quickly dodge, and then swung his halberd to fight back against Lu Bu in kind.

"Clang~~Clang~~~!" The collision of the halberds produced a huge sound. Feeling the enormous force of the halberd shaft rebounding, Lü Bu's face turned red with bulging veins.

"Hiss~~~~~, this~~ this strength is actually no weaker than mine?" Lu Bu was extremely shocked, and his regard for Xue Rengui rose to a new level.

Xue Rengui's physique was too deceptive; he looked like he had very little flesh on his body, and his handsome face was fair and clean, making him look nothing like a highly skilled military general.

Although Lü Bu was terrified, his hands did not stop moving in the slightest. He kept swinging his halberd, his moves were fierce, and each strike carried the force of a thousand pounds, as if he wanted to smash Xue Rengui and his horse into dust.

However, Xue Rengui's halberd skills were equally superb. His movements were light and precise, and each parry was perfectly timed, neutralizing Lü Bu's attacks one by one.

"Xue Rengui, your halberd technique is excellent!" Lü Bu shouted, his halberd swirling even more fiercely, each move aimed directly at Xue Rengui's vitals.

Xue Rengui smiled slightly and responded calmly. His halberd was like a serpent emerging from its hole, sometimes attacking the enemy's upper body, sometimes thrusting towards the enemy's lower body, his moves unpredictable.

The two fought like two whirlwinds, going back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Just as the two were exchanging blows with their halberds, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were like killing gods, constantly reaping the heads of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Sometimes they worked in groups of four, sometimes in groups of three, breaking through enemy lines with formations. Their movements were swift and agile, their moves crisp and clean, each thrust carrying a sharp killing intent.

"This...this is impossible!" Seeing that he couldn't even handle four Great Snow Dragon Riders, Zhang Liao began to have deep doubts about his martial arts skills.

You don't know until you fight, and once you do, you'll be shocked. Every member of the Great Snow Dragon Riders works together seamlessly. Whenever Zhang Liao tries to kill an opponent alone, several of his companions will attack him from different directions, and he will quickly find himself at a disadvantage.

Watching his wolf cavalrymen fall one by one while the enemy remained unscathed, Zhang Liao quickly broke down and began calling out to Lü Bu:

"My lord! My lord, let's retreat! We've lost! If we don't retreat now, all our brothers will be wiped out!"

"My lord~~~~~"

The situation on the battlefield also worried Chen Gong in the rear. How long had it been? The fierce and brave Bingzhou wolf cavalry had been suppressed by five hundred enemy cavalry, and there was even a tendency for them to collapse.

Thinking of this, Chen Gong hurriedly instructed Gao Shun beside him, "General Gao, hurry up and send out troops, otherwise the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will be wiped out. Qin Xuan's Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"Hurry up!"

Hearing Chen Gong's urging, Gao Shun remained expressionless, frowning and shaking his head, saying, "Strategist, we can only retreat now. The enemy's momentum is strong; sending troops now would be a one-way trip!"

"This...!" After hearing Gao Shun's answer, Chen Gong's anxious mood calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Lu Bu in the distance and shouted hoarsely:

"Fengxian! Fengxian, retreat quickly! The situation is dire!"

Chen Gong's hoarse shouts echoed throughout the battlefield. Lu Bu, who was engrossed in a fierce battle with Xue Rengui, heard Chen Gong's voice and glanced at him. What he saw there made his jaw drop.

His three thousand elite cavalry from Bingzhou were being slaughtered by Xue Rengui's five hundred Great Snow Dragon Cavalry like cutting melons and vegetables. The battlefield was littered with severed limbs and rivers of blood.

"Ahhhh, I'll kill you!" Lu Bu suddenly flew into a rage, entering a state of frenzy, swinging his halberd more and more violently, seemingly about to go completely mad.

"Retreat!" Looking at Lu Bu, who resembled a demon god, Xue Rengui decisively issued the retreat order. He did not want any of the five hundred Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to suffer any losses, after all, each of them was an elite.

Elite troops are indeed elite troops. Upon hearing Xue Rengui's order to retreat, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry did not hesitate at all and spurred their horses to retreat.

Xue Rengui covered their retreat, fighting valiantly against Lü Bu's increasingly fierce attacks.
