Chapter 61: Death
"How dare you charge! If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Lei Bu was the first to rush down from the mountain, and his three thousand elite soldiers followed closely behind him, like a swarm of ants.
"United we stand, united we fall! The City Guard Army charges!" Liu Mang had no other choice. If he allowed these three thousand men and the Henan cavalry in front to merge, then the City Guard Army would be doomed for sure! Therefore, he could only rely on the charge of a hundred cavalrymen to delay time.
"Kill!" The city management army and Chen Lan's army from the mountain made contact. Under the cavalry, unless the infantry had a large shield or a forest of spears, it would be difficult to stop the cavalry charge. Lei Bu was an old hand in the army and couldn't have been unaware of this rule, so when descending the mountain, he intentionally slowed down his pace.
The first wave of the charge, Liu Mang's long sword drank fresh blood, and with the impact force of the horse, Liu Mang killed three people in an instant. The entire cavalry regiment plunged into the sea of people, and for a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The losses under their hands did not make Chen Lan and Lei Bu very sad, death on the battlefield is inevitable, on the contrary, Lei Bu was still very happy, the first wave of sacrifices made Lü Bu's cavalry already listen to them, now only when everyone surrounds and attacks, this small group of cavalry will be finished.
"Haha, kill, kill, kill!" One by one, Chen Lan's soldiers were beheaded. Similarly, the city management army's cavalrymen who had lost their horses were also pulled down from their warhorses by these Chen Lan soldiers and instantly became minced meat under the blades of swords.
"Hold on, hold on!" Liu Mang shouted as he slaughtered Chen Lan's army, trying to boost the morale of his personal guards, but the sounds of battle were too loud and couldn't be heard. The twenty or so cavalrymen who followed him now had less than ten people left, and the other cavalrymen were also split up.
One charge by Chen Lan's army resulted in casualties of no less than five hundred men, but there were still two thousand five hundred men left, whereas the cavalry regiment was losing one man after another, and soon there would be only a dozen or so men left.
"Lei Bu is here, Lü will quickly dismount and die!" Lei Bu roared loudly, charging towards Liu Mang's direction, his large knife swinging wildly, turning all who blocked him into minced meat.
"Lei Bu?!" Liu Meng's eyes widened, isn't this Chen Lanjun's second-in-command? Shouldn't he be at Ba Gong Mountain? Why would he appear here.
Among the three countries, this person's name really appeared, although it was also a third-rate character, but being able to appear in the Three Kingdoms must have had some exceptional qualities. No time to think more, Liu Mang also tried his best to urge the horse to charge forward for a short distance.
"Who is this Lei Bu! I've never heard of him, if you want to take my life, it's up to you whether you have the ability or not!" Losing a person but not losing face, Liu Mao intentionally said he didn't recognize Lei Bu in order to boost the morale of his own cavalry. If they had met this famous general somewhere else, Liu Mao's first reaction would definitely be to flee, or rather, not engage in direct combat.
But now it's not possible, the brave will win in a narrow road encounter. For the commander, he is the soul of an army. If Liu Mang avoids Lei Bu, he will definitely give these cavalrymen a psychological fear. Originally at a disadvantage, they are finished!
What a bunch of mice! The enemy general is not even looked at by his own generals! In an instant, the city's military knights were invigorated, and the general was still brave, let alone these soldiers!
"How dare you!" Liu Mang successfully boosted the morale of the cavalry regiment, but at the same time, he also provoked Lei Bu's anger. Originally, Lei Bu was already unhappy, being hung and beaten by Lü Boss had no temper, now that he finally met a young general, he was actually looked down upon, if Lei Bu could swallow this breath, he would not be a martial general.
"Today I must chop you into pieces!" Lei Bu waved his large knife, the force in his hand increasing by another degree.
"Clang!" The first confrontation began, with long swords and knives flashing in the light, the two men crossed paths without either being injured.
"What a huge force!" Liu Mang's arm was trembling, although he seemed to be unscathed after the first exchange, but in fact he had just managed to hold his own thanks to the momentum of his horse. If Lei Bu had a warhorse or if it were an infantry battle, Liu Mang would have been killed on the spot with that one blow.
"Good kid!" Lei Bu was also shocked by Liu Mang's move, and didn't expect that this young general could withstand his full-strength attack while leaning on the war horse.
"You're quite impressive yourself, young mouse!" Liu Mang said with feigned nonchalance.
"You little brat, you're asking for death!" Being called a rat was something that even someone with a good temper couldn't tolerate. "I'm not only going to kill you, I'm also going to rip your mouth apart!"
"Do you have this skill!" Liu Meng drew his sword and stood on horseback, now even if he begged for mercy it would be impossible to survive, on the battlefield it's either you die or I live. Liu Meng steeled himself, even if he couldn't defeat Lei Bu, what did it matter? He'd rather die than not take a bite out of him.
"Hum!" Lei Bu charged at Liu Mang again without saying another word.
Liu Mang also showed no fear and charged forward.
This time, without the momentum of the horse, Liu Mang was unable to withstand Lei Bu's full-strength battle. Although Lei Bu only showed his face in the Three Kingdoms, he was indeed a mid-to-high-level second-rate general with a combat strength of at least 70 or more. As for Liu Mang, this five-force scum could only hold on because he had the rescue of Lord Lü.
The holy robes on his body were also an important reason why he could hold on.
"Whoosh!" Lei Bu's long sword sliced through Liu Mang's arm, bringing out a string of blood flowers. The connecting area of the helmet and armor was always weak, which was exactly where Xia Houba had found his weakness and almost killed Liu Mang with one hit. Lei Bu was even stronger than Xia Houba, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Hmph! The kung fu in this kid's hands doesn't seem weaker than the kung fu in your mouth, does it?" Lei Bu teased.
"It's better this way! It's much better than being a shameless, disloyal cur! As the saying goes, 'don't hit someone in the face' and 'don't expose someone's secrets!' Liu Mang not only revealed that Lei Bo betrayed Yuan Shu, but also added the embarrassing fact of being defeated at Ba Gong Mountain."
"I was going to let you live a bit longer, but since you want to die so badly, then go ahead and die for me!" Lei Bu showed no mercy, nor did he continue to toy with Liu Mang. The large knife in his hand sliced into flesh, and in an instant, Liu Mang became a bloody person.
At first, when fighting against Xiahou Dun, there was Lü Bu's timely arrival. Now, when fighting against Lei Bo, Lü Bu is still on Mount Bagong and cannot appear at all.
"Am I, Liu Mang, really going to die here?!" Liu Mang was panting heavily, his consciousness already becoming hazy due to excessive blood loss. He was desperately fighting off drowsiness, unable to sleep, and if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't be able to open them again.
"Remember to tell them it was I, Lei Bu who killed you!" Lei Bu said coldly as the long knife in his hand swung towards Liu Mao's neck.
"No, I won't die! Can't die!" Liu Mang suddenly turned his head to avoid this blade.
"Whoosh!" Fresh blood spurted out from the artery on his neck, splashing Liu Mang's face.
"Is this really death?!"
