Liu Bei kept a close eye on the battle situation. Seeing that Lv Bu and Zhang Liao were both being surrounded, he knew that the best time to kill Lv Bu was right around the corner. With a loud shout, he brought over two thousand people in preparation to charge down.
The Bingzhou Army's soldiers were barely holding on in the first place. Seeing Yuan Shu's army charge towards them, the majority of the people had already fallen into despair, only thinking to kill a few more enemies before their deaths. Liu Bei's army rushed into the battle without any obstruction, causing the already unstable Bingzhou Army to immediately fall into chaos, even the shouts of the leaders could not do anything.
"Gong Tai, you …" Lv Bu stuttered, surprised and ashamed at the same time, and for a moment, didn't know what to say. He thought that he was the world's greatest general, and had actually fallen to the point of relying on a strategist to kill the enemy. He truly felt ashamed.
"My lord, leave quickly!" Chen Gong shouted again, and used his blade to push his horse forward.
Lv Bu sighed, although he did not believe that Chen Gong had the ability to kill and reunite with Zhang Liao, but in order to not disappoint Chen Gong, he still followed along with his weapon. He made up his mind. If Zhang Liao and Chen Gong died on the spot, he would also commit suicide to express his gratitude.
It was not only Lv Bu who did not trust Chen Gong's martial prowess, the surrounding Bingzhou Army warriors also did not believe that the usually wise and refined advisor, Mr. Chen Gongtai, would be able to lead them to break out of the encirclement. It was just that they had no other choice now, so they had to bite the bullet and charged after Chen Gong.
However, the reality completely stunned Lv Bu and the rest of the soldiers. Chen Gong's long blade danced with the petals of the pear blossoms, killing almost none of the enemies as he easily managed to make the Xuzhou Army soldiers in front cry out like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, he had already moved thirty to forty steps forward.
In the past, Chen Gong roamed the world and visited half of the mountains and creeks, where thieves were everywhere and strong people ran amok. If he did not have a strong body of martial arts, he would have died a long time ago. After that, he became Cao Cao's advisor, and then went under Lv Bu's command. All of them came under Lv Bu's command as a strategist, and never had the chance to attack. In fact, Chen Gong's martial arts skills could only be considered average. Not to mention compared to the top ranked generals like Lv Bu, Gongsun Xu and Guan Yu, even if they were compared to him, they were still far inferior.
"Gong Tai" Lv Bu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with much difficulty and muttered, "Since when was he so strong?"
Chen Gong turned around and shouted, "My lord, why aren't you quickly following me!"
As if waking up from a dream, Lv Bu shouted loudly, "Brothers, hurry up and follow along!"
The surrounding three thousand odd Bingzhou Army soldiers morale was boosted, they turned a blind eye to the enemy army rushing towards them and just lowered their heads and attacked ferociously.
Seeing that, Zhang Liao clenched his teeth, and brought the remaining seven hundred to eight hundred people to rush back, causing the few Xuzhou Army soldiers in the middle to suffer a pincer attack, causing the formation to become chaotic.
Chen Gong and Zhang Liao seized the opportunity to madly charge forward, and with Lv Bu's loud cheers to boost their morale, they finally reunited after paying a heavy price. Currently, Zhang Liao only had two to three hundred people left out of the two thousand that he had brought along, but he had also lost fifty to sixty percent of his army. Currently, the number of Bingzhou Army soldiers surrounding him still wasn't even two thousand! In just over an hour, more than four thousand Bingzhou Army soldiers had died in battle. Even the knowledgeable Lv Bu would rarely see such a tragic scene.
Liu Bei was also shocked by Chen Gong's sudden outburst, she did not expect that it was this person who spoilt the good news! Seeing both sides converging, he suddenly had a bad feeling and hastily shouted: "Hurry and attack! We can't let them recover! " Finished speaking, without caring about his own safety, he raised his Twin Sword and charged forward.
When the Xuzhou Army's soldiers saw that their master was moving forward bravely, who would dare to retreat?
Yuan Shu was originally leisurely walking forward, but when he saw Lv Bu and Zhang Liao converging, he became anxious, and urged his soldiers to quickly rush over.
Lv Bu gasped for breath and sighed: "I never thought that Gong Tai's martial arts would be so profound, it is truly unexpected!"
also nodded in admiration. Just now, he was almost in despair, he did not expect the normally respectful Mr. Gong Tai to step out and turn the tides.
Chen Gong turned a deaf ear to Lv Bu's praises, and looked at the surrounding situation, anxiously shouting: "Master, you still aren't going to take this chance and rush out, how long are you going to wait for that!"
Lv Bu hurriedly nodded his head, "Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and kill your way out! Gong Tai, I have to trouble you to open up a path in front! Wen Yuan, you block the rear! "
The two of them clasped their fists and promised each other. Chen Gong slashed down a Xuzhou Army soldier who was charging over and continued to charge.
Zhang Liao rushed to the back of the group with much difficulty and used all his might to stop Liu Bei from rushing over.
With Lv Bu in the center of the army, he really couldn't muster up any strength, so he could only shout and encourage them.
Chen Gong had been rushing for a while, but he was still about 30 to 40 steps away from the bend in the road. In front of him was the place where Zhang Liao and Xuzhou Army were fighting. A Xuzhou Army Soldier suddenly rushed towards Chen Gong. He quickly slashed his blade over, but unexpectedly, the horse beneath him suddenly slipped and threw him off its horse.
"Mr. Gong Tai!" The surrounding Bingzhou Army soldiers were shocked, and rushed over to save him.
Lv Bu also turned pale from fright, and shouted at the soldiers beside him to rush and help Chen Gong.
The Xuzhou Army soldier who pounced over was overjoyed. After halting his steps, he pounced once again, with his five fingers spread out, heading straight for Chen Gong's neck.
As Chen Gong rolled off the horse, his long blade left his hand and he quickly flipped over and sat up, casually picking up a ring head knife from the ground and thrusting his blade into the heart of the Xuzhou Army Warrior who was pouncing towards him. In that moment, fresh blood splattered all over Chen Gong's face. His wrist used a lot of force to shake off the man's body, then he stood up like a carp.
The surrounding Xuzhou Army soldiers all pounced over, with their swords and spears, they attacked Chen Gong together.
Chen Gong bellowed, and used his blade to cut apart the spear that was aimed at his chest. He stomped on the ground and retreated, just barely dodging the attacks of the other two. Unfortunately, he forgot that the ground was too slippery. Even though he avoided the attack, he was still unable to stand steadily. With a pu tong sound, he fell towards the sky.
Seeing this, a few of the Xuzhou Army's soldiers were overjoyed, rushing over in preparation to take advantage of the situation.
"Mr. Gong Tai, be careful!" Seeing that Chen Gong was unable to dodge, the Bingzhou Army Warrior who was the first to charge over could not help but shout out. He leapt forward like a fish and blocked the attack for Chen Gong with his back.
Two spear strikes, one spear attack and one blade attack had instantly killed the soldier on the spot. Chen Gong didn't have enough time to feel sad and regretful, and quickly pushed away the corpse on his body and rolled to the side. The ground was filled with blood and mud. As a result of Chen Gong's roll, his entire body was completely drenched in mud and blood, making him look extremely miserable. He tried to stand up, but his boots were too slippery, and he tried twice but failed.
The few Xuzhou Army soldiers were unwilling to let the matter go, they once again brandished their weapons and pounced over.
The ring head knife in Chen Gong's hands had already left earlier. Now that it was facing the attacks of several people, it was unable to stand up even if it wanted to dodge. It could only close its eyes and wait for its death.
"Scram!" Just then, a thunderous shout came out, following that, an ancient halberd appeared in front of Chen Gong, blocking all of their attacks. had arrived just in time.
When Lv Bu pulled back his halberd, he casually cut a person's throat before thrusting forward, immediately assassinating another person. The remaining few people were extremely shocked, they did not have the time to chase after Chen Gong, and immediately turned to retreat.
The few Bingzhou Army Soldiers who were following Lv Bu rushed over and helped Chen Gong up. He wiped the blood and mud on his hands on his clothes, then cupped his hands: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"
Lv Bu shouted anxiously: "Why are you still talking about this useless stuff at this time! Hurry and give Gong Tai a horse! "
A soldier quickly pulled a horse and pulled Chen Gong onto the horse's back.
Another person picked up the long blade Chen Gong used earlier and passed it over. He reached out to take it, then said to Lv Bu in a deep voice: "Master, please follow this subordinate and charge out!"
Lv Bu laughed bitterly and shook his head, suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood, the weapon in his hand dropped to the ground, his body also swaying unsteadily. He was originally the last of the strong crossbow s, and just now when he rushed over to help Chen Gong, he had already exhausted all of his energy. Now that he had relaxed slightly, he only felt an extremely intense pain all over his body, and he could not even lift up a single finger.
Chen Gong made a prompt decision, he pointed at the two janissaries and ordered: "Protect Master, follow me!" As he spoke, he raised his long blade and rushed towards the corner of the road that was just inches away from him.
The two of them hurriedly spurred their horses forward to protect Lv Bu from the left and right, while the others rushed forward to protect Lv Bu as well.
The nearby Xuzhou Army Soldiers had just engaged in a fierce battle with Zhang Liao's side, and their losses were extremely heavy. This time, facing a group of crazy and fearless enemies, they were unable to resist at all, and were forced to retreat continuously. Chen Gong was like an arrow that opened up a path, even though he was not moving fast, he was moving forward every second.
Liu Bei was shocked and angry at the same time. If Lv Bu were to escape, it would be useless to kill all the remaining Bingzhou Army soldiers! He shifted his warhorse to the side and attempted to circle around Zhang Liao to chase after him.
Zhang Liao saw through Liu Bei's intentions with one glance, how could he let him pass so easily? He then raised the reins and placed it in front of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was anxious and angry, she thrusted out her twin swords again and again, and was unable to get close to Zhang Liao's upper body.
Zhang Liao was already exhausted, but he held onto the thought of certain death, clenching his teeth and enduring the pain, in a blink of an eye, Liu Bei had already attacked seven or eight times, adding a wound to every move, but he was still unable to kill Zhang Liao on the spot.
