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

Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Song Xian, and others were equally unstoppable.

Clad in gleaming armor, they were difficult for ordinary Liangzhou soldiers to penetrate, and every swing and thrust of theirs could inflict fatal damage on the enemy.

Zhang Liao's swordsmanship was steady and ruthless, Hao Meng's spear technique was cunning and swift, and Song Xian's strength and swordsmanship were heavy; each of them stirred up a bloodbath in the enemy ranks.

The Bingzhou cavalry were already elite, and with their recent good food, warm clothing, and upgraded equipment, their morale was high. Under the fierce leadership of Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and others, they unleashed their full fighting power.

In contrast, the Liangzhou cavalry, despite having a numerical advantage, could not maintain unified command, had low morale, and were at a disadvantage in terms of equipment and physical strength. As soon as they made contact, they were at a disadvantage.

On the battlefield, the Bingzhou cavalry charged bravely and coordinated perfectly.

The Liangzhou army, on the other hand, seemed to fight somewhat independently, with two or three men often barely able to hold off a single Bingzhou cavalryman.

Lü Bu led his personal guards in a charge that shattered the Liangzhou army's formation in the first one!

Where his horse's hooves swept, more than a dozen corpses of Liangzhou soldiers were left behind.

He reined in his horse, and Red Hare reared up, letting out a loud neigh.

Lu Bu pointed his halberd at the chaotic Liangzhou army and roared again, "Follow me and charge back!"

"kill!!"

The Bingzhou cavalry were in high spirits. Following Lü Bu, they turned around again and, like a plow sweeping through a cave, charged into the enemy ranks from another direction!

The deputy general of the Liangzhou army was furious. He brandished his spear, desperately trying to organize a resistance, but the formation had been completely disrupted, and orders were difficult to convey.

He saw Lü Bu charging towards him like a god of death, causing chaos and destruction in his path, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Stop him! Stop him now!" the lieutenant shouted in terror.

Several loyal Liangzhou cavalrymen bravely faced Lü Bu.

Lu Bu's eyes were icy cold. He swept his halberd horizontally with such speed that it left afterimages!

"Snap!"

"puff!"

The two cavalrymen at the forefront were swept away along with their weapons, their chest armor dented, and they were clearly not going to survive.

The third cavalryman thrust his spear toward Lü Bu's face, but Lü Bu's left hand shot out with lightning speed and grabbed the spear shaft!

The cavalryman felt an irresistible force surge through him, his spear slipped from his grasp, and the next moment, his vision was filled with the magnified tip of a halberd…

Upon witnessing this scene, the lieutenant was terrified and could no longer muster the will to resist. He turned his horse and tried to flee to the side and rear.

"Where do you think you're going!" Lu Bu roared, his voice booming like thunder.

He suddenly threw the spear he had seized forward!

With his full power, Lu Bu's spear transformed into a black shadow, instantly covering a distance of more than ten steps. With a "thud," it pierced through the back of the lieutenant's heart and emerged from his chest!

The lieutenant screamed and fell from his horse.

With the commander and deputy commander killed in succession, the remaining Liangzhou cavalry completely lost their will to fight and began to scatter and flee.

"All troops, advance! Infantry, surround them! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Upon seeing this, Lü Bu immediately issued a new order.

As the bugle call changed, Wei Xu, who had been waiting in the rear, immediately commanded a thousand heavily armored infantrymen to advance with neat and heavy steps, like a moving steel forest.

They raised countless spears and shields, and together with the cavalry charging back and forth, they divided and surrounded the Liangzhou cavalry who were trying to escape or put up a stubborn resistance.

Some of the routed Liangzhou cavalry attempted to charge the infantry phalanx, creating an opening for their escape.

But their scattered charge was utterly ineffective against the hedgehog-like array of spears and shields.

The Bingzhou infantry were highly disciplined, and their archers, protected by shields and spears, continuously fired arrows, shooting down any approaching Liangzhou cavalry. Occasionally, a brave and fierce soldier would charge forward, only to be pierced by several spears simultaneously.

The battle lasted for about half an hour.

On the battlefield on the north bank of the Ba River, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood stained the soil and grass red. Warhorses, having lost their masters, neighed and wandered mournfully across the battlefield.

Of the five thousand Liangzhou vanguard cavalry, over a thousand were killed in battle, several hundred fled, and the remaining thousand or so, seeing no hope of breaking through, threw down their weapons, dismounted, and knelt to surrender.

Lu Bu rode on Red Hare, surveying the battlefield where the smoke of battle had not yet dissipated.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, but he had gradually gotten used to it.

In this battle, he personally killed the enemy's commander-in-chief, Hu Zhen, and also killed more than ten enemy soldiers during the charge, earning him many system rewards.

More importantly, this great victory greatly boosted the morale of our side and dealt a heavy blow to Guo Si's army.

"Wei Xu," Lü Bu called out.

"Your subordinate is here!" Zhang Wei rode over, his bright armor stained with blood, but his spirits were high.

"Lead the infantry of the Trapped Camp to clear the battlefield, collect weapons and armor, guard the prisoners, and immediately carry the wounded brothers to the south bank for treatment. Also, our camp and the county town have been harassed by enemy forces in separate units," Lü Bu ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Wei Xu accepted the order and left.

Then, Lü Bu, along with Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and others, led his troops in pursuit towards Baling, hoping to take advantage of the retreating Hu Zhen vanguard as they charged Guo Si's central army.

About ten miles north of the Ba River, the main force of the central army, consisting of 45,000 infantry and cavalry led by Guo Si and Fan Chou, was advancing slowly and steadily along the official road towards the Ba River in a massive formation.

Under the central military banner, Guo Si rode a tall horse from Xiliang, wearing exquisite bright armor and a brocade robe, but his expression was not good.

Although he commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, their composition was diverse, and the marching column was quite long, with infantry and baggage mixed together, making it appear somewhat bloated and chaotic.

"Report—" A scout galloped in, dismounted, and reported, "General, Colonel Hu Zhen's vanguard of five thousand cavalry has arrived on the north bank of the Ba River and is confronting Lü Bu's army!"

Guo Si nodded slightly and asked, "What is the situation with Lü Bu's army? Are there any signs of them fleeing south?"

The scout replied, "Lu Bu's army numbers about two thousand, arrayed with their backs to Ba Bridge. There are about a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry, and their formation is well-organized, showing no signs of retreating."

Upon hearing this, Fan Chou scoffed, "This Lü Bu, instead of holding his position across the river, has actually arrayed his troops on the north bank of the Ba River. Does he really think he can stop my army with this small force? How arrogant and conceited!"

Guo Si frowned: "Lü Bu is brave and fierce, and his Bingzhou cavalry should not be underestimated. Hu Zhen is impatient; I hope he won't fall for Lü Bu's provocation."

Sure enough, not long after, another scout brought shocking news.

"Report! Commander Hu is dueling with Lü Bu on the battlefield! Lü Bu declares that if Commander Hu cannot be killed within three halberd strikes, he will return Lord Dong's head!"

"Nonsense!" Guo Si's face darkened, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Hu Zhen dared to challenge Lü Bu, the greatest warrior in the land, to a duel; he was simply courting death!

He asked urgently, "What was the result?"

The scout's voice was filled with terror: "Captain Hu... he was killed instantly by Lü Bu in one move!"

"What?" Guo Si and Fan Chou exclaimed in unison.
