Chapter 369

At this thought, Cao Mengde gasped!

"Pass the order: retreat immediately!"

With a loud shout, Cao Mengde hurriedly gave instructions to his soldiers!

Xuzhou, Xiapi Commandery, Xia Qiu City

"So, my lord's target was Yuzhou from the very beginning?!"

After hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Lu Su was stunned!

This was clearly three groups of warlords attacking Xuzhou!

Yet Lin Yang had actually taken the opportunity to try and attack Yuzhou!

Madness!

It was simply too insane!

"If one does not plan for a territory, one cannot plan for a commandery; if one does not plan for a province, one cannot plan for the world!"

Guo Jia said with a light laugh; this attack plan of Lin Yang's had been formulated together with him!

The land of Yuzhou!

Lin Yang would have to attack it sooner or later!

Now, by only sacrificing tens of thousands of troops, there was a chance to defeat Yuan Gonglu's two-hundred-thousand-strong army in one fell swoop!

No matter how you looked at it, this deal was profitable!

If they missed this opportunity!

They would have to attack those fortified cities in Yuzhou!

By then, the casualties would be far more than a mere few tens of thousands!

"Gulp!"

Lu Su looked at Guo Jia in shock, then looked toward Lin Yang, who was standing calmly in front!

Ruthless!

It was simply too ruthless!

Using an army of seventy thousand outside the city to lure Yuan Gonglu!

Paying the price of over forty thousand casualties to make Yuan Gonglu believe that the fall of Xia Qiu City was right before his eyes!

Such scheming by my lord and Guo Jia had Yuan Gonglu completely in their grasp!

At this moment, not only did Lu Su understand the situation, but in the Lu Bu army on the other side—

"No, something's not right. What this Lin Ziyuan wants is not just to repel the enemy!"

Watching the two armies already locked in slaughter on the field, Chen Gong suddenly realized something was wrong!

The reason was simple!

Without realizing it, the troops under Yuan Gonglu had already suffered a collapse of one hundred thousand men!

Out of the two hundred thousand who came, a full one hundred thousand had been killed, wounded, or routed!

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Gonglu would have retreated after fifty thousand casualties!

"Quick, Wei Xu, Gao Shun, you two lead the Trap-Breaking Battalion and rescue my lord quickly!"

At this moment, Chen Gong, having thought of a possibility, hurriedly ordered Gao Shun's Trap-Breaking Battalion to move out!

Upon receiving the order, the two of them led one thousand soldiers of the Trap-Breaking Battalion and charged out rapidly, heading straight for Lu Bu's troops!

"I hope this Lin Ziyuan gives us a chance!"

At this moment, Chen Gong was extremely anxious, and could only pray that the soldiers under Yuan Gonglu would not collapse too quickly!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield at this moment—

"Get out of my way!"

Leading his Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, Lu Bu, along with Zhang Liao and others, charged through the chaotic ranks!

The mutiny of the vanguard under Yuan Gonglu had made Lu Bu's current situation extremely troublesome!

Not only were there deserters within the Yuan army, but all around them were soldiers charging out from Lin Yang's side!

"Pfft!"

With the swing of his Halberd of the Heavenly Void, the soldiers all around were slaughtered!

"Hah!"

Just then, a phalanx of bulletproof glass appeared among the soldiers, heading straight for Lu Bu's troops!

On all four sides, one hundred bulletproof glass shields were raised; the soldiers in the center continuously thrust their spears to attack, and there were even archers among them shooting arrows at the surroundings!

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing the phalanx charging over, Lu Bu's Red Hare galloped, and with a swing of his Halberd of the Heavenly Void, he smashed it directly onto the bulletproof glass!

"Clang!"

In an instant, a heavy, muffled sound rang out, and Lu Bu felt his web between thumb and forefinger go numb!

"How is this possible?"

Seeing that his full-force strike on the bulletproof glass had failed to shatter it, Lu Bu was stunned!

Was the defensive power of this thing really this terrifying?

"Kill!"

Lu Bu was still in shock when, the next moment, the spearmen in the phalanx thrust out violently!

A dozen spears thrust out; the Red Hare sensed the danger, leaped directly into the air, and dodged sideways!

"Fire arrows!"

The Military Sima commanding the phalanx gave a loud shout, and a sky full of arrows shot toward Lu Bu's soldiers!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Under the assault of the arrows, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was immediately obstructed!

"My lord, retreat first!"

Sensing the extraordinary nature of the phalanx, Zhang Liao did not want to engage with it at this moment either!

Just as he was preparing to have the eight hundred Bingzhou Iron Cavalry retreat, he heard a series of sounds coming from the chaotic troops all around!

"Hah... hah... hah... hah..."

With the sound of heavy footsteps and shouts, two more bulletproof glass phalanxes were seen surrounding Lu Bu!

"Close the formation!"

With a loud shout, the three bulletproof glass phalanxes immediately drew closer, and the bulletproof glass shields in their hands also began to close up bit by bit!

"My lord, this is bad, retreat quickly!"

Zhang Liao looked at the phalanxes closing in and was suddenly filled with anxiety!

Under this three-pronged encirclement, once they were surrounded, it would be impossible for them to break out!

"Fire arrows!"

"A reward of a thousand gold to whoever slays Lu Fengxian!"

The three phalanxes, numbering several thousand men, shouted in unison at this moment and rapidly closed in on Lu Bu's army!

"Pfft... pfft... pfft..."

In an instant, arrows filled the sky, and the troops under Lu Bu's command were immediately halted!

The troops attempting to break out in all directions were also cut off once again by the 533 phalanxes, unable to advance even a fraction!

The three phalanxes formed a triangle, constantly attacking Lu Bu's troops!

Warhorses galloped, yet they were completely unable to break through the bulletproof glass!

For a time, the besieged Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the others all wore expressions of anxiety!

"Fire arrows... fire arrows... fire arrows..."

As the sky-filling arrows rained down, the living space for Lu Bu and his men grew smaller and smaller!

The constantly contracting bulletproof glass phalanxes also increased the height of the side facing Lu Bu from one layer to two!

Pushed forward from the front, even the peerlessly brave Lu Bu felt anxious in his heart!

"Break for me!"

His Red Hare horse galloped, and he swung his painted halberd, smashing it down once again!

"Bang!"

A massive force was unleashed, and a rebounding shockwave struck back, causing the webbing between Lu Bu's thumb and forefinger to burst open!

"Crack!"
