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

Not long after, north of the Bahe Bridge, Li Jue received news of Li Li's attack, which shocked and enraged him.

"Useless! Li Li is such a piece of trash!" Li Jue cursed.

Guo Si said urgently, "Brother Li, the right flank has been lost. We must break through from the front as soon as possible! Otherwise, once Lü Bu recovers, we'll be in trouble!"

Jia Xu also said, "The time is of the essence; we should launch a full-scale attack!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and pointed it towards the opposite bank: "Order the entire army to attack! Cross the Ba River by force, with no turning back! The first to reach the shore will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold pieces!"

Under the weighty rewards and strict orders, tens of thousands of Liangzhou infantrymen, like a tidal wave, carrying various river-crossing tools, surged toward the Bahe Bridge and all possible crossing points, launching a full-scale attack!

On the south bank, Lü Bu's army faced increasing pressure.

Arrows rained down like a storm, but there were simply too many Liangzhou soldiers. As those in front fell, those behind stepped over the corpses to continue advancing.

In many places, the Liangzhou soldiers, relying on their numerical advantage, forcibly landed on the south bank and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defending Lu Bu's infantry.

Hou Cheng's crossbowmen were running out of arrows very quickly, and his arms were sore and numb.

Although Wei Xu's elite troops were brave, they were also held back by enemy forces that broke through in many places, making it difficult for them to cover the entire front.

Song Xian's light infantry battalion provided support in all directions, but there were too many enemies. In each place, they faced almost ten times the number of enemies. Although the soldiers fought very hard and were very brave, not everyone could fight against several enemies. If they were not careful, they would be surrounded and killed by several enemy soldiers.

Fortunately, the Bingzhou army was well-equipped. Even ordinary soldiers were all in leather armor, and those above the rank of squad leader had two sets of armor, unlike the Liangzhou soldiers, most of whom went to the battlefield wearing only their uniforms.

Moreover, the Bingzhou army was well-fed and had plenty of food, so their morale was high and they could hold on for the time being.

The battlefield was deadlocked, with shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and screams echoing along both banks of the Ba River.

Inside the main camp on the south bank of the Ba River, Lü Bu calmly observed the battlefield.

He observed that while the Liangzhou army's offensive was fierce, it lacked effective command and coordination, relying more on sheer numbers.

However, if they cannot break through the enemy's formation in time, the enemy's numerical advantage could very well crush the Bingzhou army. After all, the two sides are not on the same level in terms of physical exertion.

it's time!

Lu Bu mounted Red Hare, and the halberd, weighing ninety-nine catties, felt as light as a feather in his hands.

He glanced back at what was behind him.

Five hundred personal guards and heavy cavalry have already lined up!

Both men and horses were clad in heavy armor, the black armor plates gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight, the saddles and stirrups cleverly concealed by the skirts of their armor.

Although they stood still, a terrifying aura had already spread out.

Every soldier's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, fixed intently on the opposite bank of the river.

Cheng Lian, holding a long spear, stood at the head of the group and nodded deeply to Lü Bu.

Lü Bu raised his halberd, his voice booming like thunder, echoing throughout the land.

"Personnel Guard Battalion—!"

"Follow me—!"

"Charge!!"

"Roar!!" Five hundred heavy cavalry roared in unison, their voices shaking the surrounding area!

Lu Bu spurred his horse, and Red Hare, like a burning flame, charged out of the camp gate first!

Cheng Lian roared, and five hundred heavy cavalrymen, like steel behemoths that had been activated, followed closely behind!

The heavy hooves pounded the earth, producing a heart-pounding thud.

This cavalry, completely covered in iron armor, charged like a giant wedge, ignoring the occasional arrows (ordinary arrows could not penetrate their heavy armor), directly towards the area where the fighting was fiercest and the enemy forces were most concentrated at the Bahe Bridge!

There, hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers who had crossed the Bahe Bridge were engaged in fierce fighting with Wei Xu's elite troops, while more and more Liangzhou soldiers were preparing to cross the Bahe Bridge from behind.

Seeing Lü Bu lead his heavy cavalry out of the camp, Wei Xu, who was fighting a fierce battle, was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the soldiers of the Trapped Camp to spread out to both sides, allowing Lü Bu to lead his heavy cavalry into the enemy ranks.

On the bridge, the Liangzhou army captain who was overseeing the battle saw this terrifying heavily armored cavalry charge out of Lü Bu's camp and stared in horror, asking, "What is that?"

His answer was Lu Bu's figure, like a god descending to earth, and the 99-pound new Fangtian Halberd that came crashing down with a fierce wind!

"boom!"

As the halberd swept across, three Liangzhou soldiers who tried to stop him were sent flying, weapons and all, by Lü Bu. Their tendons and bones were broken, blood gushed out, and they died on the spot!

With his strength, halberd skills, horsemanship, and agility all at 102, Lu Bu, wielding a 99-pound halberd, was simply too much for ordinary soldiers to withstand.

The halberd, whether thrusting or sweeping, caused men and horses to fall wherever it passed; none could withstand a single blow!

Behind him, five hundred heavy cavalry, led by Cheng Lian, crashed into the Liangzhou soldiers on the south bank, killing over a hundred men like autumn leaves being swept away. Then, together with Lü Bu, they charged onto the Bahe Bridge and headed towards the north bank!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull thuds of impact continued to echo!

The immense kinetic energy generated by a heavy cavalry charge is simply something that flesh and blood cannot withstand!

The Liangzhou soldiers on the Bahe Bridge were like bowling pins, being knocked away, trampled, or jumped into the Bahe River in terror to escape!

Some warriors tried to shoot with bows and arrows, thrust with spears, and slash with ring-pommel swords, but in the face of absolute strength and defense, the resistance of the Liangzhou soldiers seemed so pale and powerless!

The heavy cavalry's defense was full-body coverage; they even had masks, which didn't exist in this era. Except for their eyes, the rest of their bodies were covered by armor plates, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to break through their defenses, whether with bows and arrows or spears and swords.

Unless you're extremely unlucky and get attacked in the eyes.

In addition to their defensive capabilities, the double stirrups and high-bridged saddles allowed heavy cavalrymen to exert stable force on horseback, making every strike powerful and heavy!

They don't even need much skill; they can crush a bloody path through the enemy ranks simply by relying on their weight and speed!

This sudden torrent of steel instantly scattered the Liangzhou soldiers on the bridge, causing them to completely collapse!

"Monsters! They are monsters!"

"Run!"

"It's unstoppable! Absolutely unstoppable!"

Panic spread like a plague among the Liangzhou army.

Not only did the Liangzhou soldiers on the south bank begin to flee in panic, not daring to stay on the road where the heavy cavalry passed, but even the soldiers on the north bank saw the armored cavalry on the bridge, which looked like they came from hell. They were so frightened that they retreated to both sides, and no one dared to face their attack directly.

On the high slope of the north bank, Li Jue, Guo Si, and others stared in disbelief at the black-armored cavalry charging rampaging across the south bank.

"The halberd? Are those Lu Bu and his personal guards?" Guo Si's voice trembled. "All heavily armored? Where did they get so much equipment?"

Li Jue's face turned pale. He finally experienced firsthand the terror of Lü Bu's army that Guo Si and Fan Chou had described.

This is no ordinary army!

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, Lü Bu led his personal guard across the Ba River Bridge and charged toward the central army camp where Li Jue and Guo Si's banners were located.

On the north bank, there were chevaux-de-frise and deer antlers set up by the Liangzhou army to guard against a counterattack by the Bingzhou army.

However, with Lü Bu's superhuman strength, reaction, and speed, the 99-pound halberd was lifted with ease, knocking away the barricades and antlers. Cheng Lian and the strongest officers behind him continued to clear the way, opening up the passage. The heavy cavalry followed behind Lü Bu and Cheng Lian and successfully passed through the barricade and antler blockade zone, heading straight for the center of the Liangzhou army's formation.
