Chapter 765

~4 min read 623 words

The cavalry that came from afar had already arrived at the East Camp where Lu Zhi was located.

"That is... the Lord's cavalry?" Jia Dong said uncertainly.

But Cheng Yu and the others, who had excellent eyesight, had already seen the big flag with the 'Duan' character.

"It is the Lord's subordinates, but the Lord hasn't come," Jia Xu said: "It should be the Lord's vanguard army."

"Now under the Lord's command, there are only Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Qu Yi who are reporting, so I estimate the person who came should be Lu Bu."

Although he didn't see who the general leading the army was, Jia Xu still inferred the identity of the person leading the army based on speculation.

But since the person leading the army was not Duan Yu but Lu Bu.

Then the question arises.

Why did this cavalry come so fast?

And it looks murderous.

Logically speaking, when two friendly forces are about to merge, the first thing they should do is to notify each other.

This is to avoid commotion when the two armies meet for the first time.

Furthermore, even if two armies belonging to different commands meet, they will maintain a certain distance.

Why say that the vanguard cavalry led by Lu Bu is aggressive?

You can see it just by looking.

At this time, the vanguard cavalry led by Lu Bu had actually circled around the East Camp where Lu Zhi was located.

As everyone knows, when cavalry launches an attack, especially when surrounding a fixed target, they will adopt this circling tactic.

One is for deterrence, and the other is to facilitate mounted archery.

This move was learned from the Xiongnu.

Xiongnu cavalry used this method to surround Han infantry.

Lu Bu led troops to surround Lu Zhi's East Camp and made this provocative move; what is he trying to do?

Everyone on the city wall was guessing.

"I estimate it should be related to the changes that happened to the Han army outside the city last night," Jia Xu said, narrowing his eyes.

Dong Zhuo's direct troops suddenly disappeared.

And the remaining part of the army was taken over by Lu Zhi.

Jia Xu had doubts and speculations in his heart.

"Lord Dong must have had an accident," Jia Xu said, narrowing his eyes: "Judging from everything last night and Lu Zhi's actions today, it is very likely that only Lu Zhi is commanding the army outside the city now."

"Lord Dong's direct troops are gone and haven't appeared yet; they must have already left."

"But this doesn't look like a normal departure."

"It looks like he was stripped of military power. As for why Lord Dong's direct line disappeared and where they went, it is not clear yet," Jia Xu shook his head.

Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.

Outside the city.

Lu Zhi's East Camp.

Lu Bu, who had rushed from the boundary bridge, arrived outside Guangzong City and aggressively led the vanguard cavalry to circle rapidly outside the East Camp where Lu Zhi was located.

The dust and smoke made it impossible for the soldiers in the camp to see how many cavalry were outside the camp.

And Lu Zhi had just ordered the camp to be divided in the morning.

The three camps that originally stood in a mutually supportive formation were now surrounding the southeast and west sides of Guangzong City.

This made Lu Zhi's camp an isolated camp.

Plus Lu Bu came extremely fast, which really made Lu Zhi flustered for a while.

After confirming that the troops outside the camp were not enemy troops but Han troops.

Lu Zhi directly led Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei out of the camp with troops.
