Chapter 583

Even if the intention to retreat had already arisen in his heart.

He would at least have to stay for ten days or half a month before withdrawing.

……

At the same time

Fifty li south of the Xianbei Wang Ting

Lu Bu led ten thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and arrived here.

It is worth mentioning.

On this journey, Lu Bu and his party also encountered more than one wave of Xianbei scouts.

In other words.

The whereabouts of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry should have been detected by the Xianbei Wang Ting side long ago.

But inside the Xianbei Wang Ting, they never dispatched an army of any decent scale to come and intercept Lu Bu.

There were only two reasons.

The first point was that the Xianbei Wang Ting side thought the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were too few in number and didn't take them seriously.

Facing the complex grassland terrain.

This Han cavalry unit of ten thousand or so, even if they didn't suffer serious attrition, would likely know when to retreat in the face of difficulties in the end.

Furthermore.

Inside the Xianbei Wang Ting, there were a full one hundred thousand troops!

Besides the army, there were also tens of thousands of herdsmen permanently stationed inside the Wang Ting.

Looking at it this way.

Relying only on ten thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, attacking the Xianbei Wang Ting seemed completely impossible to succeed.

The second reason was that the interior of the Xianbei Wang Ting was not a monolith.

Because Budugen did not set up a Second Great Chanyu and a Third Great Chanyu.

The few people left inside the Xianbei Wang Ting who could speak with authority were only at the ten-thousand-man commander level.

Among this group of people, perhaps a portion realized that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry might bring disaster to the Xianbei Wang Ting.

But more people still didn't take this Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry unit rushing toward the Wang Ting too seriously.

Arrogance, no matter when it is placed, will become a quite fatal weakness.

As the distance to the Wang Ting became closer and closer, the madness in Lu Bu's eyes became increasingly intense.

For Lu Bu, the Xianbei people were simply the race he hated the most, bar none.

When Lu Bu was still young, the Xianbei people would march south from time to time to invade his hometown, Jiuyuan Commandery.

Now.

Lu Bu finally had the opportunity to destroy the Xianbei Wang Ting with his own hands!

And how to destroy the Wang Ting, Gu Yi had already explained to him in advance.

It could be said that this time Lu Bu was equivalent to bringing a complete strategy here in advance.

What he needed to do next was to complete the instructions Gu Yi had arranged in advance step by step.

……

When Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to within less than ten li of the Wang Ting, the interior of the Wang Ting finally unified its opinion on dispatching troops.

But the Xianbei Wang Ting, which possessed a full one hundred thousand troops, did not dispatch too many troops at once, but only sent twenty thousand.

Perhaps.

In the eyes of some arrogant ten-thousand-man commanders inside the Wang Ting.

Twenty thousand Xianbei mounted scouts were already enough to clean up Lu Bu's ten thousand or so people.

However.

When these twenty thousand Xianbei mounted scouts and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were less than three li apart, a strange change suddenly occurred!

Lu Bu ordered all the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to get off their warhorses.

Subsequently, they raised the torches they had prepared in advance and lit them.

"Plop!"

Ten thousand lit torches gathered together and were thrown toward the not-far-away front!

The weather at this time was already close to summer.

Although not as hot as in later generations, it was definitely not comfortable either.

And the Monan grasslands were already covered with all kinds of weeds.

To the extent that some of these weeds had even grown to half a person's height!

Countless torches were thrown onto the grassland not far ahead.

The sky-high firelight rose instantly!

The violent fire directly burned the twenty thousand Xianbei mounted scouts who were rushing toward the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry into sand-coins!

Heavens!

Earth!

Who the hell could have thought that Gu Yi, that old six, would come up with such a damaging trick!

As everyone knows.

Warhorses in the middle of a charge are difficult to stop suddenly due to inertia.

And those twenty thousand Xianbei mounted scouts were fighting in a hurry, fearing that Lu Bu would really lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to kill their way into the Wang Ting.

Therefore, when they were rushing toward the direction where the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were just now, their speed could be described as as fast as possible!

They were just short of using the strength they had from eating milk in their mother's womb!

But on the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry side, Lu Bu had long since ordered them to control their original speed.

Seeing this group of Xianbei mounted scouts rush out of the Wang Ting, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry slowed down even more rapidly.

This resulted in.

Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry being able to rein in their warhorses quickly and calmly get off their warhorses to become arsonists.

But on the Xianbei mounted scout side, in their haste, they couldn't reduce their speed by even a little bit!

Countless torches not only lit the grassland not far ahead.

Some even directly hit the Xianbei mounted scouts who were in the middle of charging!

In an instant.

Countless casualties.

One could even vaguely smell the scent of human flesh being roasted.

"Crackle, crackle" sounds.

Twenty thousand Xianbei mounted scouts, just from this one toss, died more than half in an instant.

The remaining ones were also mostly seriously injured, burned until they were almost unrecognizable.

And Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?

The moment the torches were thrown out, they had already turned their direction and left in different directions.

Even if the fire was big, it was impossible for it to burn them for a time.

"Sure enough, one still has to listen to Linzhi!"

"This general has never fought such a hearty battle!"

Lu Bu laughed toward the sky.

His iron-tower-like body actually shed two lines of hot tears.

He recalled the countless elders and fellow villagers of Jiuyuan who died under the iron hooves of the Xianbei.

"If only... I could have known Linzhi earlier, how good that would be."

Lu Bu muttered to himself.

Ever since Gu Yi joined Dong Zhuo's camp seven years ago, under Gu Yi's help, Lu Bu gradually walked out of his confused state.

The relationship between him and Gu Yi now is less like monarch and subject, and more like friends.

But in Lu Bu's heart, the gratitude toward Gu Yi could not be clearly stated in a few words.

He thanked Gu Yi for making the three major factions under Dong Zhuo stop fighting each other.

He thanked Gu Yi for being able to let him get rid of his original predicament.

He thanked Gu Yi even more for giving him an opportunity to become famous throughout the world, and even achieve the feat of sealing the wolf at Mount Juxu! ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
