Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms as Lu Bu: I Have a Pseudo-Apocalypse System

Lü Bu laughed heartily, his laughter filled with confidence and disdain: "I, Lü Bu, am a man of my word, how could I deceive you? As you say, if I cannot take your life within three halberd strikes, you may take Dong Zhuo's head yourself, and I will absolutely not use a bow and arrow!"

"Good!" Hu Zhen was overjoyed, secretly cursing the man for being a brute, thinking that his provocation had worked.

He thought that he should first hold firm for three moves, obtain Dong Zhuo's head and make a great contribution, and then launch a surprise attack. When Lu Bu's army saw that their commander had lost the bet, their morale would surely plummet. He could then lead five thousand iron cavalry in a single charge to crush these two thousand miscellaneous soldiers!

He might even be able to kill or capture Lü Bu alive, which would make him famous throughout the world!

At the thought of the wonderful scene, Hu Zhen's blood boiled, and he immediately ordered, "You all step back, let this general go and deal with this traitor!"

The guards on either side looked worried: "Captain, be careful, it might be a trap!"

Hu Zhen, now brimming with confidence, waved his hand and said, "It's alright. With everyone watching, Lu Bu still has his pride. Besides, it's only three moves. Do you really think I can't even withstand three moves from Lu Bu?"

His attendants quickly replied, "We wouldn't dare."

Having said that, Hu Zhen took a deep breath, raised his long sword, spurred his warhorse, and slowly rode out of the formation.

Seeing this, Lü Bu waved his hand, signaling his personal guards to step back slightly.

A space suddenly opened up in front of the two armies, and thousands of eyes focused on the two people in the middle. The air seemed to freeze, with only the restless pawing of warhorses and the sound of flags fluttering in the wind.

Hu Zhen tightened his grip on the long sword, staring intently at Lü Bu, his muscles tense. He was determined to defend and not attack, determined to withstand Lü Bu's three halberd strikes no matter what.

Lü Bu, on the other hand, seemed much more relaxed. He lightly lifted the reins of Red Hare, and the magnificent warhorse snorted and raised its front hooves slightly, appearing eager to go.

"drive!"

The two men gave a soft shout almost simultaneously, urging their horses to charge at each other!

The distance between the two closed rapidly!

Two hundred steps

One hundred steps

Fifty steps

Thirty steps...

Hu Zhen could clearly see Lü Bu's murderous eyes and the halberd that seemed to contain destructive power.

Just as the two horses were about to collide, Lü Bu made a move as if to slash.

Hu Zhen immediately roared and held his long sword horizontally in front of him, preparing to block Lü Bu's first halberd strike.

However, the next second, Hu Zhen was shocked to find that Lü Bu had changed his tactics during the attack.

Lu Bu's movements were faster than Hu Zhen's eyes could catch!

The heavy halberd seemed as light as a feather in Lü Bu's hands. With a strange and swift angle, he did not strike directly, but flipped it at an angle, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, with a sharp whistling sound, and stabbed straight at Hu Zhen's throat!

Hu Zhen had no time to make any effective blocking moves. All his anticipation and defensive stance were useless in the face of Lu Bu's perfect strike, which combined maximum strength, reaction, agility, speed, perception, and halberd skills!

"puff--"

The crescent-shaped branch of the halberd precisely sliced ​​open Hu Zhen's throat, almost severing half of his neck, and blood gushed out!

Hu Zhen's expression froze in astonishment and disbelief. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, his body swayed, and he fell off his horse with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

one move!

Just one move!

A deathly silence fell over the Liangzhou army's battle formation!

All the soldiers stared in disbelief at the corpse of Captain Hu Zhen, unable to believe their eyes.

Hu Zhen, the brave and outstanding vanguard general in their hearts, was actually killed instantly without even being able to withstand a single move from Lü Bu.

Meanwhile, the Bingzhou army erupted in deafening cheers after a brief silence!

"Lord Wen's divine might!!"

"Victory! Victory!!"

Although Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, and others had some understanding of Lü Bu's strength, they were still deeply shocked to witness him so effortlessly and instantly kill the enemy's commander.

The Marquis of Wen now seems to be even more terrifying than before!

Just as Hu Zhen fell from his horse and died, a system notification sounded in Lü Bu's mind:

【叮！恭喜宿主击杀精英丧尸1只，爆出物品：黄金15两、白银80两、五铢钱150贯、明光铠1副、精铁环首刀1柄、箭矢300支、粟米50石、精盐15斤、上等茶叶5斤、止血粉5斤！所爆物品已自动存入储物空间。】

The rewards are quite generous, especially gold and the Bright Armor, both of which are hard currency and high-level equipment.

Lu Bu was satisfied, but now was not the time to tally his gains.

Taking advantage of the Liangzhou army's chaos and plummeting morale due to the sudden death of their commander, he suddenly raised his halberd and swung it forward!

"All troops, listen to my command! Kill!"

"kill!!!"

The thousand Bingzhou cavalry, who had been poised for battle, surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, led by generals such as Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Hao Meng, and charged into the chaotic Liangzhou cavalry!

The sound of horses' hooves thundered, and the earth trembled.

In the Liangzhou army formation, a lieutenant general wearing two layers of armor was both shocked and furious. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't panic! Don't panic! Charge! Engage the enemy! Those who flee will die!"

He knew that if he turned and ran at this moment, leaving his back to the Bingzhou cavalry, the only outcome would be the annihilation of his entire army.

Only by fighting to the death might there be a glimmer of hope.

After his desperate shouts and the killing of several panicked soldiers who tried to flee, about three thousand Liangzhou cavalrymen barely managed to regain their footing, mustered their courage, and charged towards the Bingzhou iron cavalry.

However, nearly a thousand Liangzhou cavalrymen, intimidated by Lü Bu's swift killing of Hu Zhen and the murderous aura of the Bingzhou army, disregarded their deputy general's reprimands, turned their horses around, and fled frantically back the way they came.

Thus, the battlefield was left with only one thousand Bingzhou cavalrymen facing off against more than three thousand Liangzhou cavalrymen.

Both sides drew their bows and arrows while galloping, and exchanged arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Arrows flew in a crisscross pattern through the air.

The Bingzhou cavalry were better equipped, more well-trained, and more skilled in horsemanship. They could dodge or parry with small shields while accurately firing back from horseback.

The Liangzhou soldiers, on the other hand, suffered significantly more casualties in the mutual shooting due to poor equipment (many cavalrymen were unarmored), tired horses, and low morale, with many falling from their horses after being hit by arrows.

The short distance of a hundred paces was quickly shortened amidst the barrage of arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the two torrents of cavalry clashed violently!

"boom--"

Men and horses fell, metal clashed, and screams, clashes of weapons, and neighing of warhorses filled the air in an instant!

The Bingzhou wolf cavalry were like red-hot daggers cutting into cooled butter, their attacks incredibly fierce!

Lu Bu, who was at the very front, was like a god of war descended to earth!

In his hands, the halberd transformed into a whirlwind of death, thrusting, sweeping, slashing, and hooking with simple and direct moves, yet containing terrifying power and speed.

No one in the Liangzhou cavalry, whether an ordinary soldier or an officer wearing two-piece armor or tube-sleeved armor, could withstand a single blow from him!

Often, the moment the weapon touches the halberd, the person and weapon are thrown away, resulting in either death or serious injury!

His personal guard followed closely behind, with Lü Bu as the spearhead, like an extremely sharp arrow, directly tearing through the Liangzhou army's formation!
