Chapter 175 Mysterious Warrior! (Thanks, .._Dd Just like the ocean forgives the fish for the monthly ticket support~)
"I am Huang Zhong."
"I am Sun Ce, thank you for saving my life!"
He saw Huang Zhong and Sun Ce saluted towards him with their fists clasped.
Xu Sheng immediately dismounted, threw Ma Zhong's head aside, and rubbed his fist in return:
"My name is Xu Sheng, I am just a bandit leader.
“No need to thank you, both of you. I just regret that I have too few brothers under my command and dare not rush into the battlefield immediately.
"I am ashamed that the two generals lost many men..."
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"How can you be a small bandit if you can capture the enemy's head amidst thousands of troops?
"As for the failure of our army, it has nothing to do with you.
"Your help is a great favor to us!"
Sun Ce immediately tried to win over Xu Sheng and said:
"We are both subordinates of Wenhou Lu Bu.
"Your Excellency is highly skilled in martial arts and has amazing combat power. If you can come to work under Marquis Wen, you will definitely be appreciated and reused!"
Xu Sheng deliberately showed an embarrassed expression:
"This... I heard that Lord Wen doesn't seem to have a very good reputation..."
Huang Zhong had a say in this matter and immediately said with a smile:
“I just want to say that Lord Wen’s reputation in the past was indeed a bit notorious, and I used to look down on him.
"But we can't ignore his subsequent changes.
“The fact that he was able to unify Yangzhou and occupy Jingzhou is enough to show his great strength and personal charm.
"If Brother Xu could come and work under Marquis Wen for a while, he would know that the current Marquis Wen is much better than he was back then!"
Hearing what Huang Zhong and Sun Ce said, Xu Sheng nodded doubtfully:
"In that case, I will give it a try.
"If Marquis Wen is not as good as you two say, I will also leave with my brothers."
Seeing Xu Sheng agreed, Huang Zhong and Sun Ce smiled at the same time:
"Great! If the lord knew that a brave general like you had joined us, he would probably forgive our failure..."
As he spoke, Sun Ce turned his head to look at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
He bowed to Xu Sheng:
"Please sit down for a moment, Brother Xu. I'll let my men get things sorted out first, and then we'll go back together."
Xu Sheng shook his head:
"We are comrades now. Your brother is my brother. How can I just sit back and watch?"
As he spoke, Xu Sheng called upon his brothers who were in good condition to help Sun Ce and others clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded.
……
the other side.
While Ma Zhong and Huang Zhong's armies were fighting, Lu Bu's army also arrived at Taolin at the junction of Linyuan County and Yuanling County.
Looking at the pink petals swaying in the breeze, Lu Bu was also attracted by this rare beauty.
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a crisp "click" sound!
Lu Bu looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see that his large flag with the word "Lu" on it suddenly broke and fell down.
Fortunately, Liu Feng, who was carrying the flag, was quick-witted and immediately held the flag!
Lu Bu frowned. As a man who was familiar with the novel, he immediately realized that this was a bad omen...
Just at this moment, Chen Gong came to his side, and Lu Bu immediately asked:
"Gongtai thinks that the sudden breaking of the military flag may indicate something?"
Chen Gong nodded slightly:
“According to what I know about the Wind Corner Technique, a broken flag often means something bad is going to happen.
"It seems that General Huang Zhong and his men are in danger!"
Lu Bu's face changed drastically.
Originally, in his opinion, even if this battle was difficult, it would not be dangerous.
Moreover, he had hinted to Sun Ce and his men countless times that it didn't matter if they lost, they must ensure their safety and retreat. However, when he heard Chen Gong say this, he suddenly became uneasy.
They were Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals, and the Little Overlord Sun Ce.
If something happened to them, wouldn't I be in big trouble? ?
Lu Bu said immediately:
"We must send reinforcements to support them as soon as possible!"
Seeing Lü Bu so anxious, Chen Gong explained slowly:
"Don't worry, my lord. The flag has not fallen yet because Captain Liu has caught it in time.
“Based on the Fengjiao technique, General Huang Zhong and his men should be able to escape danger.
"But just in case, my lord, you can send a group of light cavalry to check and provide support."
After hearing Chen Gong's explanation, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still followed what Chen Gong said and immediately ordered Xing Daorong to lead two thousand light cavalry to check the situation.
At this time, Lu Lingqi came to his side, clasped her fists and begged:
"Father, Lingqi requests to go with General Xing!"
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, but considering that there should be no danger, he said to Xing Daorong:
"General Xing, take good care of my daughter. Also, teach her the essentials of leading an army and conducting reconnaissance."
Xing Daorong immediately clasped his fists and said with a wanton smile:
"My lord, don't worry! With my general Xing Daorong here, I will make sure the young lady is safe!"
Lu Lingqi happily clasped her fists towards Lu Bu and subconsciously called out his nickname:
"Thank you, Daddy~"
After saying this, she rode on a beautiful white horse, holding a cross jade halberd, and quickly left with Xing Daorong leading two thousand light cavalry.
In less than half an hour, Lu Bu saw Xing Daorong and Lu Lingqi returning with Huang Zhong and others.
Looking at the bloodstains all over Huang Zhong and Sun Ce, as well as the blood holes all over Zhou Tai's body, it was enough to see how brutal the previous battle was!
Lu Bu did not expect such a situation to happen, and hurriedly rode his Red Hare to meet him, going straight to Zhou Tai, who was the most seriously injured.
Although the opponent has thick skin and flesh, he can withstand a few more hits.
But if you get hurt too much, you will die.
Seeing Lu Bu running straight towards him, Zhou Tai was quite moved.
He was carried on a wooden frame by the soldiers. He tried to stand up and salute despite the pain, but was quickly pushed down by Lu Bu:
"Don't stand up, Youping. It's all my fault that you got hurt so badly..."
As he said this, Lu Bu held Zhou Tai's rough big hand, but felt that the other's palm was wet.
When he looked down, he found that the skin on the opponent's palm had been worn away by the weapon, revealing the bloody flesh and bones!
Zhou Tai felt touched and guilty, and could only whisper:
“It was all my fault for underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, although in the end I managed to defeat the enemy’s 5,000 soldiers with the help of a warrior.
"But there are less than 200 people left on our side, and even more than half of them are seriously injured..."
Lu Bu shook his head and murmured:
"It's good that you can come back alive, it's good that you can come back..."
It’s not that Lu Bu doesn’t value the lives of his soldiers, it’s just that human emotions and energy are limited.
These famous generals were his favorites, and he couldn't bear to see them die at his hands.
As for those soldiers, their leaders will feel sorry for them.
At this time, Lu Bu suddenly remembered the "warrior" mentioned by Zhou Tai.
It seems that it is just as Chen Gong said. When they were in danger of their lives, they were saved by the mysterious "warrior" mentioned by the other party.
Lu Bu immediately asked:
"I wonder where that warrior is now?"
