Chapter 371

Xu Zhu led his troops to kill,

The two collided instantly and began to fight fiercely!

Over there, Chen Dao and Wu Anguo had also begun fighting with Cao Hong and Yue Jin!

The center was the focus of the struggle between the two sides,

Li Dian led five thousand troops to charge at Liu Bei!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Liu Bei's three thousand personal guard cavalry instantly launched several volleys of mounted archery, killing over two thousand of Li Dian's troops!

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The Cao Army moved again; the infantry just now were merely bait to exhaust the mounted archery of Liu Bei's cavalry!

"Boom—!"

Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, and Dian Wei led five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, spurring their horses to charge toward Liu Bei!

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all elites, determined to keep Liu Bei here!

Liu Bei watched the opposing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with cold eyes,

These were Cao Cao's trump cards!

The soldiers could no longer draw their bows for mounted archery, or they would have no strength left for the melee!

"Cao Cao has a good plan!"

Over there, Cao Cao was very proud,

"Liu Bei, did you think I hadn't studied your tactics? Once the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry pin Liu Bei down, the other troops will surround him; we must kill Liu Bei!"

"Understood!"

Cao Hong cupped his hands,

"Big Brother's strategy is divine; this time Liu Bei cannot escape even with wings!"

"Boom—!"

Dust flew and the earth shook,

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged toward Liu Bei's center army like a flood!

Liu Bei's cavalry did not accelerate to charge, but stood there quietly!

The distance between the two sides grew shorter and shorter!

Cao Cao?

An ominous premonition rose in his heart!

Liu Bei scared silly? He wouldn't believe it even if he died!

A melodious horn sounded,

Liu Bei's cavalry took out the short crossbows they were equipped with from the bags on their backs,

Three thousand short crossbows emitted a chilling light!

Ma Jun invented and improved them, the Artisan Bureau built them with all their might, and this time they were all brought out!

"Fire!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three thousand crossbow bolts flew toward the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry,

For a moment, arrows fell like rain!

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the front were caught off guard, and hundreds fell instantly!

Warhorses neighed!

Soldiers screamed!

For a time, men and horses were overturned!

Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan shouted,

"Charge, keep charging, they have no more crossbow bolts!"

Responding to them was another wave of three thousand crossbow bolts!

Another several hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were shot off their horses!

Even Cao Chun was struck by two arrows and fell from his horse!

Repeating crossbows!

It was actually repeating crossbows!

Cao Cao's face changed drastically!

"The Eared Thief is treacherous!"

He hadn't expected that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which he had carefully selected and prepared specifically for Liu Bei, would lose nearly two thousand men before even making contact!

These were the elites among elites!

Cao Cao suddenly remembered Liu Bei's words earlier: "Such elites, losing a few should be heartbreaking, right?"

Now he was truly heartbroken! He was bleeding!

More importantly, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been stunned instantly, and their morale plummeted!

Liu Bei shouted loudly,

"Generals, follow me to kill the enemy! Go straight for Cao Cao's head!"

"Giddyap!"

"Kill~!"

"Kill!"

Liu Bei led his personal guard cavalry and instantly charged into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, leaving a trail of overturned men and horses,

Ma Chao and Taishi Ci were both fierce generals of the time; wherever they passed, no one was a match for them, instantly disrupting the entire formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"Clang!"

A loud noise,

Liu Bei's long spear struck Dian Wei's left-hand halberd fiercely,

Dian Wei's figure swayed, his face changing drastically,

He already had great strength, but this Liu Bei's strength seemed far beyond his own!

With just one strike, his throat tasted sweet, and he had been shaken by internal injuries!

"Good, come again!"

Liu Bei spurred his horse to charge at Dian Wei again, the long spear in his hand turning into black lightning, striking straight at Dian Wei's heart!

Dian Wei roared, using all his strength, like a wild beast, no longer defending, and also charged at Liu Bei's vital points!

"Oh, a tactic of mutual destruction?"

Liu Bei snorted, the iron spear in his hand appearing eerily flexible, piercing in from a tricky angle between Dian Wei's dual halberds, stabbing into Dian Wei's right shoulder and bringing out a rain of blood!

Dian Wei's face changed drastically, and he rolled off his horse to dodge Liu Bei's fatal blow!

Liu Bei wanted to kill again! His heart suddenly became alert,

He swung his long spear, knocking away three incoming hidden arrows!

"It's Cao Ren!"

Liu Bei was furious!

"Using hidden arrows to hurt people, Cao Ren is shameless, and they're poisoned arrows too!"

If one were to ask who in the Three Kingdoms was more shameless, Liu Bei felt Cao Ren was the most unbenevolent!

Others fought with wit and courage, but as soon as Cao Ren saw his opponent was formidable, he immediately switched to poisoned arrows.

The first poisoned arrow was given to Zhou Yu, 'His wound recurred and he was angered to death?' Without the poisoned arrow, where would his injury have come from!

The second arrow was Guan Yu. Why did Guan Yu have to scrape the bone to heal the wound? It was because he was injured by Cao Ren's poisoned hidden arrow! Who scrapes bone for fun?

As for the unknown ones, who knows how many were killed by Cao Ren's poisoned arrows! ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
