Chapter 490: Cautious Lu Bu
"hateful!"
Different from Luo Yong's arrogance and disdain, Yuan Shu's general Qin Yi had anger and resentment written on his face. He tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force. He gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Yong and others who were laughing. If looks could kill, Luo Yong and others would have died hundreds of times.
But the next moment, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He wanted to get rid of Luo Yong as soon as possible, but he was powerless. Luo Yong's horse galloped like lightning and came and went like the wind. Even if he ordered the archers to shoot, it would be useless. The other party could just pat the horse's tail and throw the arrow behind him.
Not to mention that Luo Yong came mainly to harass, not to wipe out.
Luo Yong and others were riding horses and firing crossbows at the same time. Their accuracy was so good that Qin Yi felt dazed. It was as if he had eyes. He had never heard that the Chen cavalry was so powerful.
Although the speed of loading arrows on crossbows is slower than that of bows, Luo Yong has 2,000 cavalrymen. These 2,000 cavalrymen did not fire arrows all at once, but in batches. One group of soldiers fired 500 crossbow arrows at a time, and the rest took this opportunity to quickly load the crossbows...
Qin Yi was beaten terribly by such dirty tactics. You have to know that the soldiers he recruited to help Yuan Shu this time were thieves and bandits. These people had no discipline at all. Under Luo Yong's attack, they could barely keep the team from collapsing, which had exhausted his energy.
Organize a team to counterattack? Even though he was filled with anger, Qin Yi knew that he had no way to deal with Luo Yong.
But are we just going to watch it?
Can only passively resist?
If this continues, these people will probably scatter, and it will be even more difficult to recruit them to serve Yuan Gong at that time...
Qin Yi's expression became more and more bitter, but fortunately there is always a way out.
The scouts came hurriedly to report that a group of troops were coming from behind Luo Yong, and they seemed to be reinforcements.
Qin Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for the details of the reinforcements. When he learned from the scout that the reinforcements were most likely Lu Bu...
Qin Yi's smile froze immediately. It was not that he looked down on Lu Bu. The fact that he could fight with Huang Zhong for hundreds of rounds showed that he was not an ordinary person at all. It was appropriate to call him a fierce general.
But the problem is, Lü Bu served Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo died. Lü Bu served Yan Liang, and Yan Liang was captured. Lü Bu served as the commander of Liyang, and Liyang was gone...
Just thinking about Lü Bu's glorious deeds, Qin Yi couldn't help wondering, could it be that Lü Fengxian was doomed to fail? Anyone who followed him had a bad ending.
Qin Yi quickly stopped thinking about this idea and did not dwell on it. He was now on the battlefield and any mistake would lead to missing the chance to fight. Once the opportunity was lost, it would never be found again.
Qin Yi was not a famous general, but when he saw Lu Bu's banner, all his wisdom burst out at this moment. He drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Brothers! The army of Yuan Benchu, the governor of Jizhou, has arrived! The people of Chen have nowhere to escape, kill them!"
The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. They had all started to back off. Yuan Shu liked to make friends with bandits, and the court was suppressing him. It was obviously much better to follow Yuan Shu than to wander around in the mountains and rivers. But the problem was, wasn't the price too high? They hadn't even met Yuan Shu, and their lives were in danger. Their future was more important than their lives.
However, these thoughts disappeared with Qin Yi's shout. After all, they really saw Lu Bu's flags, and it didn't seem like he was coming towards them.
Besides, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were half brothers, so it was reasonable for Yuan Shao's army to appear here.
So they were a false alarm? So all this was part of Lord Yuan's plan?!
The bandits, no longer worried about their lives, suddenly became bolder.
Of course, Qin Yi added a sentence: "Anyone who kills one enemy will be rewarded with a thousand coins!" This sentence instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the bandits. Even if they didn't risk their lives, they could still get a reward! Why not charge forward? !
The crowd was boiling at this moment. They raised their swords and shields and rushed towards Chen Guobing, shouting, "Kill, kill, kill!" "What's going on?"
Luo Yong was shocked. He suddenly found that the Yuan Shu army that they were chasing and beating had become much more powerful.
The arrows did not stop them, and many crossbow arrows were even blocked by the shields.
However, Luo Yong quickly figured out the reason. He said disdainfully, "Humph, the morale of Yuan's soldiers is just slightly improved, don't worry. Lu Fengxian is also a scoundrel, don't worry, anyway, I have the advantage! What's more, I already have a way to deal with it!"
Since Yuan Shu's troops have become much more troublesome, we should not get entangled with them too much.
Defeat Lu Bu first, then attack Yuan Shu's troops!
Having made up his mind, Luo Yong ordered the Chen cavalry to turn their horses around and charge towards Lu Bu.
This made the bandits happy, it seemed that their attack was effective and the other party was scared. However, they were also a little distressed, after all, they were taking away money!
Lu Bu, who was riding a galloping horse, raised his eyebrows. He found that the cavalry of Chen State had turned around and rushed towards them.
The leading Luo Yong actually shot a crossbow arrow at him. Ever since he suffered at the hands of Huang Zhong, Lu Bu dared not be careless. The moment Luo Yong made his move, he took action. His head tilted at that moment, and a whistling sound of wind sounded in his ears. The crossbow arrow almost brushed past his helmet!
Lü Bu was startled and looked at Luo Yong, who was dozens of steps away, with caution. He wondered in his heart, could this man also be a fierce general? How could his crossbow arrows be so accurate? !
Luo Yong's laughter at the next moment seemed to confirm Lu Bu's guess. Luo Yong laughed and said, "Fengxian, you dare to fight me?!"
"You brat!" The first person to get angry was not Lu Bu, but Song Xian beside Lu Bu. Song Xian stared at Luo Yong fiercely and shouted angrily: "General Lu is a rare and fierce general in the world. How dare you act rashly in front of General Lu?!"
"Hahaha, a rare and powerful general? He is just a defeated general under Huang Hansheng! I think he is just a name in vain!"
"You!" The veins on Song Xian's forehead bulged, and he was about to raise his gun and kill, but an arm stopped him.
He looked at the man in disbelief, "General? General? Why are you stopping me?"
"Don't you find that this person looks like someone?" Lu Bu said with narrowed eyes.
Only then did Song Xian realize that there was no anger on Lu Bu's face. He just felt his head buzzing. The general was not angry?
But he still subconsciously replied: "I can't figure out who it is, please tell me clearly, General."
"Zhang Yide, this person's words are provocative. It reminds me of Zhang Yide. It is said that Zhang Yide is the best at playing tricks. Although this person is far inferior to Zhang Yide, it is still better to be careful. I guess this person must have set an ambush and wants to use words to provoke me and lure me into a trap."
"what?"
Song Xian stared at Lu Bu who was making such a solemn promise. He really wanted to ask, "General, are you being too cautious?"
