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

Just then, a soldier peered out of the broken wooden gate of the city and exclaimed, "General, the Han army has crossed the river!"

Bo Mi was taken aback, then quickly walked to the city gate and looked out through the crack in the smashed wooden door.

Lu Bu had already stepped down from the stone platform and was taking out stone blocks and wooden beams from his storage space to build a makeshift bridge over the moat. In no time, a wide wooden bridge spanned the moat, connecting the two banks.

The Han army arrayed themselves at the bridgehead, but did not rush to attack.

Bo Mi was greatly alarmed and said to the assassins around him, "Hold the city gate. If they want to get in, they'll have to get past us first!"

The assassins gripped their weapons tightly, their faces pale, yet they remained guarding the vicinity of the city gate.

But to their utter surprise, Lü Bu had no intention of attacking through the city gates at all.

On the stone platform, the observation post waved a command flag, pointing to the southern section of the eastern city wall.

There, the garrison on the city wall had long since fled or gathered behind the east gate, a place that was deserted.

Lu Bu led his army to the foot of that section of the city wall, looked up at the several-zhang-high wall, and smiled slightly.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he raised his hand and placed it on the city wall.

The light flickered.

The bricks and stones on the city wall vanished into thin air, and a large hole, big enough for several people to walk side by side, appeared on the city wall!

And Qu Mitu and the three thousand surrendered Yanqi soldiers cheered in unison.

"Long live the Prince of Jin! Long live the Prince of Jin!"

Lü Bu charged ahead and entered the city!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu followed closely behind, and three thousand elite Han cavalry surged in like a tide!

Inside the city, Bo Mi was still holding out behind the city gate, waiting for the Han army to attack the city gate.

A soldier stumbled in, his face pale: "General, something terrible has happened! The Han army! The Han army is entering the city from the south!"

Bo Mi was shocked: "What? The south? How is that possible? The south city walls are perfectly fine, how did they get in?"

"No, I don't know! They just walked in!"

Bo Mi's mind went completely blank.

How could this be? Lü Bu was clearly building a bridge outside the city gate, so how did he suddenly enter the city from the south?

Without a second thought, he led his elite guards south in haste.

They had just turned a corner when they were suddenly confronted by Lü Bu's army!

Lu Bu led the charge, clad in golden armor and riding a red horse, wielding his halberd, exuding a murderous aura.

Bo Mi gritted his teeth, brandishing his sword to meet the attack: "Lu Bu, prepare to die!"

The two horses clashed, and their swords and spears clashed!

"when!"

With a loud bang, Bo Mi's tiger's mouth cracked, and his long sword nearly slipped from his hand.

He was terrified; Lu Bu was incredibly strong!

Lu Bu gave him no chance to catch his breath, and swept his halberd across the room!

Bo Mi raised his sword to block, and with another loud bang, the long sword was shaken out of his hand and flew away!

He turned his horse to escape, but Lü Bu had already caught up with him and thrust his halberd straight at his chest!

"puff!"

The halberd tip pierced through the iron armor and into the chest!

Bo Mi looked down at the halberd tip protruding from his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Bu sheathed his halberd, and Bo Mi's body fell from his horse, his blood staining the ground red.

"General!"

"General!"

Bo Mi's personal guards rushed forward with cries of grief, wanting to avenge their commander.

But how could they be a match for Lü Bu?

A sweeping halberd cleaved three guards in two, swords and all! Guan Yu wielded his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, one strike after another, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables! Zhang Fei's eighteen-foot spear pierced through two men, sending them flying! Dian Wei's twin halberds slashed left and right, each strike claiming a life! Xu Chu swung his broadsword in a wide arc, nothing could stand in his way!

In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of Bo Mi's personal guards were slaughtered.

The remaining assassins looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, one of them threw down his weapon and knelt down to surrender.

"We surrender! We surrender!"

"Spare me! Spare me!"

More and more people threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Lü Bu reined in his horse, scanned the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Bo Mi resisted stubbornly and deserved to die. Now that you have surrendered, you will be spared."

The assassins kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Prince Jin, for sparing our lives! Thank you, Prince Jin, for sparing our lives!"

Lü Bu left several hundred men to guard the surrendered soldiers and led his army to continue westward.

Inside the city, the Kucha garrison who had fled down the city walls were trembling in fear, hiding just outside the range of the Han army's catapults in the west of the city. Suddenly, they saw the Han army's banners appear on the street, and chaos erupted.

"The Han army is here! The Han army has entered the city!"

"Where is General Bo Mi?"

"I don't know, I heard he was killed!"

"Surrender! Surrender now!"

When the tens of thousands of defenders saw the Han army enter the city and heard that Bo Mi was dead, not one of them dared to resist and they all knelt down to surrender.

Lu Bu traveled unimpeded all the way to the west of the city, where he encountered a force of several thousand men rushing out of the west gate in a panic.

The leader was none other than Long An!

Long An glanced back and met Lü Bu's gaze. Terrified, he whipped his horse and charged out of the city gate.

Chili, his face covered in blood, was supported by his personal guards and rushed out as well.

Lü Bu squinted, took a hard bow from the side of his horse, and nocked an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrows flew like lightning, heading straight for Long An!

Long Anxin sensed something and, without looking back, suddenly lowered his head and lay prone on the horse's back. The arrow flew past his head and struck one of his personal guards, who screamed and fell from his horse.

Long An didn't dare to look back, spurred his horse on desperately, and disappeared outside the city.

Lu Bu lowered his bow and sneered, "You ran fast, didn't you?"

Zhang Fei spurred his horse forward: "My lord, shall we pursue them?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "Let them run. They can run away, but they can't hide. We can use this as an excuse to attack Yancheng, the capital of Kucha. Prepare the army and take over Wulei."

"promise!"

Half an hour later, all four gates of Wulei City surrendered.

Lü Bu rode his horse into the city and arrived at the city's central square.

In the square, tens of thousands of Kucha soldiers knelt on the ground, a dark mass of them. The people of the city hid behind the gates, peeking out furtively.

Lü Bu dismounted and climbed onto the makeshift platform.

"Listen up, soldiers of Kucha!" His voice echoed across the square. "Bo Mi resisted stubbornly and has been killed in battle. Now that you have surrendered, you will all be spared. Those who wish to join the army will be incorporated into the Han army; those who wish to return to farming will be given travel expenses to be sent home."

He paused, then continued, "King Bai Ba of Kucha has harbored criminals like Long An, making him an enemy of the Han. Once our lone army reaches Yancheng, we will settle accounts with him. Now that you have surrendered, you can wait in peace. The Han army will not commit any offenses against you, and the people can continue their businesses as usual without disturbance."

Upon hearing this, the kneeling soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

A centurion mustered his courage and asked, "King Jin, our families are all in Yancheng. If the Han army attacks the city..."

Lü Bu said, "Pass down the order: All families of surrendered soldiers shall be protected by the Han army after entering the city, and shall not be harmed."

The centurion repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Jin!"

In the square, the surrendered soldiers kowtowed and shouted, "Long live the Prince of Jin! Long live the Prince of Jin!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly, stepped down from the stage, and left.

The three kings of Hulandi followed behind, watching this scene with a mix of emotions.

Du Lüjian sighed, "In less than a day, the fortified city of Wulei has fallen. The Prince of Jin's divine gift of a granary is truly miraculous."

Himita replied, "Unfathomable."

Hu Lan Di smiled bitterly: "It was the right thing for us to obediently hand over military power back then. Otherwise, Bo Mi's fate would have been our fate."

The three men gazed at Lü Bu's retreating figure in the distance, their minds now free of any other thoughts.

Qu Mi suddenly followed behind Lü Bu, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

This Prince of Jin truly has a destiny bestowed upon him! Following him, what need is there to worry about future wealth and glory?

Guan Yu spurred his horse forward and whispered, "My lord, Long An and Chili have fled to Yan City, which will surely incite the King of Kucha to defend it to the death. Should our army pursue them while we are ahead?"

Lü Bu nodded: "We'll rest for the night, and tomorrow morning, we'll march on Yancheng."

"promise!"
