Chapter 1080: Man Proposes, God Disposes
The Eight Hundred Heavy Infantry defended Lyu Bu as trusted aides, with Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry following closely. The combat power unleashed by the less than four thousand elite cavalrymen was enough to shock all the legions.
Bupenyi did not die, but he no longer had the courage to turn back. He knew that if he managed to escape alive this time, he would never step into Bingzhou again. That man, like a ghostly deity, had shattered everything he had.
If he could choose, he would never want to clash with Lyu Bu again in this lifetime. The other's strength was an invincible force, a kind of overwhelming might that brought despair, the power of a lone force breaking an army.
"They're coming, run, run!" Bupenyi was panic-stricken, not knowing what else to do other than flee. Fear had seized every nerve of his, and he needed to distance himself from this dangerous place.
Lyu Bu led the Wolf Cavalry charging swiftly, while Helian's Central Army also charged fiercely. The two sides collided fiercely less than twenty miles from the Foreign Department, neither intending to dodge.
At the moment of collision between Lyu Bu's army and the Xianbei, a golden-red glow shimmered from Lyu Bu's body, "Legion Talent, Invincible Force!"
After slashing through a row of enemies, another layer of golden glow appeared on Lyu Bu, who then said coldly, "Legion Talent, Great Wall Watch!"
The blessings from ancient history manifested their power at this moment, significantly enhancing the defense of Lyu Bu's army while reinforcing their determination to protect the Central Plains.
In an instant, Lyu Bu's army not only increased their attack and charge speed but also enhanced their defense, clashing with the Chanyu's main force in a dominant stance. The victory was nearly instant.
Under the near-invincible leadership of Lyu Bu, they executed a slashing kill on the enemy vanguard. The Trap Formation then tore through the opposing army, breached their defenses, with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, led by Zhang Liao, expanding their combat achievements.
Almost instantaneously, Lyu Bu tore a massive gap in the Xianbei Formation, and like a furious dragon breaching the sea, he charged straight into the main force of the Xianbei Central Army, with an unstoppable momentum, slashing the King's Banner, and having the Trap Formation collide directly with the Chanyu's Imperial Guards.
The already unmatched Trap Formation clashed with the unprepared Chanyu's Imperial Guards, determining victory in an instant. Before Helian could cry for help, Lyu Bu's Sky Piercer crushed the new Xianbei Chanyu, Helian, like he was slaughtering a chicken.
Following this, Lyu Bu led his main force with overwhelming momentum, charging back and forth among the Xianbei army, unstoppable. Soon, Helian's main force was destroyed by Lyu Bu, collapsing with over ten thousand corpses left behind.
Lyu Bu stood on the battlefield, feeling incredibly tired yet indescribably content. The obsession in his heart had slowly dissipated at this moment.
"Go, head north, to the North, to reestablish the boundary at Langjuxu Mountain!" Lyu Bu said proudly after scattering the Xianbei, indicating that the boundary of Bingzhou was not at Jiuyuan but farther north, where the inscriptions of the predecessors lay!
Lyu Bu was completely unaware that the person he took down in a single move was the Xianbei Chanyu, but it didn't matter. To the current Lyu Bu, it didn't matter who the Hu People were, he killed who he killed, and for the highly important Bingzhou, his promise was fulfilled in this slaughter.
[After completing the last task and transitioning either to Liu Bei or Cao Cao, I'll be able to free myself from this quagmire. Chan'er, the promise I made to you will also be fulfilled.] Lyu Bu thought to himself as he rode northward.
When Chen Xi received the news from Bingzhou, he was directly shocked. Of course, the ones shocked included not only Chen Xi but also Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others.
"Cough cough, what do you all think?" Chen Xi said, pulling a wry face.
"Lyu Bu single-handedly took on thirty thousand troops of the Xianbei Tribes, killed nearly ten thousand by himself, then scattered the rest. He then led the Trap Formation and Zhang Liao's main force to assault the Xianbei Chanyu's Imperial Guards, killing the Xianbei Chanyu in the first instance." Li Youu felt he had previously underestimated Lyu Bu.
"That's not important now." Jia Xu rubbed his brow, "According to the situation our War Eagle discovered, after Lyu Bu flattened the Xianbei ancestral court, he went to the former boundary and directly sank Langjuxu Mountain."
"Sank it?!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Jia Xu.
"That's literally what it means. Lyu Bu directly sank the entire mountain." Guo Jia said, pulling his mouth, "That place is now a large pit with a diameter of several thousand feet, and because it was hit so deep, the underground river has accumulated into a lake."
"Non-Han Dynasty acknowledgers, cross this lake and be killed without mercy!" Fa Zheng coldly said in Lyu Bu's reported tone, leaving all the opposing military generals speechless.
"That place is about a thousand miles from Northern Bingzhou, and with such a blatant action, wouldn't the Xianbei People and Huns have some special reaction?" Guan Yu, unusually, spoke in a long string.
"There was, but all are dead. Lyu Bu traveled in a straight line, slaughtering everything he saw after leaving Bingzhou, from women and children to elders and top masters, even secluded immortals, all were killed." Jia Xu slowly said. Everyone felt a sense of dread, an awe-inspiring and ruthless killing intent!
"In any case, from what we know now, the Western Xianbei will absolutely stop their advance and will definitely not provoke at this time." Liu Ye said with a bitter smile. Originally, they thought Cao Cao could play a major role this time, but it now seems like a joke.
"Now, with the Xianbei Chanyu slain, traditionally, the Xianbei would launch massive revenge forces to compete for the position of Chanyu, but this time..." Guo Jia twitched the corner of his eye, betting all his stakes that the Xianbei would not retaliate massively.
"The Xianbei absolutely won't retaliate." Liu Bei said, pulling his mouth, then as if remembering something, he laughed, "But that may be a good thing, as the people of Bingzhou can finally find peace."
"That's it, and as long as the Xianbei have no problem with their brains, they will definitely choose to retreat. After all, if our War Eagles could see it, how could they not know?" Jia Xu said helplessly. "Cao Mengde's arrangements turned out to be all for nothing."
"It's human nature." Chen Xi said, pouting. He had to admit, even Guan Yu, who had breached the city, fell significantly short compared to the Lyu Bu they understood now.
"A complete waste, perhaps Cao Cao is still brooding over it now." Li Youu said with a sigh, noting how different Lyu Bu was back then compared to now. There was a considerable difference not only in strength but also in conviction. While undefeated the same, it now carried other elements.
