Chapter 10: The God of War, Lü Bu (Part 1)

At this moment, Lao Fang's voice rang out. As the most experienced veteran in the team, he naturally took on the role of Wei Tao's deputy to provide guidance.

This is something that only the strongest warriors among the Xiongnu are capable of achieving

Whoosh

It is clear that they still dare to be this way, even though they are not far from Hanoi County

However, this very move has changed their perspective.

At that moment, Wei Tao suddenly pulled the reins, causing the horse to turn back.

Could he really take on a hundred opponents by himself

A distance of a hundred steps, at most only one or two arrows can be shot, yet Old Fang truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran

Although Wei Tao is not very old, his strength is considerable, capable of drawing a bow with a force equivalent to that of two stones.

However, this is also quite understandable, as these Huns are not elite Huns, but merely a small tribe of newly matured Huns

Clearly, the Xiongnu on horseback did not anticipate such a sudden turn of events; even a nomadic people on horseback, when suddenly upended, would still fall directly to the ground

I, Lü Fengxian, am here. Will you, the Xiongnu scoundrels, dismount and submit to capture?

Taking a deep breath quietly, Wei Tao tightened his grip slightly on the long spear in his hand, preparing to thrust it forward.

To shoot a person, first shoot the horse; to capture a thief, first capture the leader

The crowd, which had originally dispersed, could not help but be greatly surprised by Wei Tao's actions, to the extent that even their movements became momentarily stiff.

Captain, what should we do

Is it possible that Lü Bu is preparing to confront so many Xiongnu alone

At the moment when the initial Xiongnu cavalry charged to about twenty paces away, Wei Tao suddenly released the bow and arrow in his hand, shooting an arrow that struck the man's face. The tremendous force was so powerful that it not only pierced through but also knocked him off his horse and down to the ground.

Having only been in the military camp for a month, it is already quite a challenge to earn their respect and regard as anything more than a mere child, let alone to train them effectively.

What the Huns did not expect was that the spear, like a swimming dragon, suddenly trembled at the moment of clash with the sword. A tremendous force instantly pushed the curved blade aside, and then the spear lunged forward, directly piercing the throat of the Hun.

Thus, this technique of swiftly seizing a horse not only enables one to quickly become a cavalryman and enhance one's strength, but more importantly, it allows for timely mounting and a hasty escape in critical moments

However, the weapons are different; this bow was specially commissioned by Wei Tao from a master craftsman in Luoyang before arriving in Hanoi County, and it is most suitable for his use

Numerous cavalrymen galloped around Wei Tao, and each time they passed by, they swung their blades to strike.

Shoot

However, the lack of experience remains a lack of experience; the number of Xiongnu is vast, and the fact that they are all cavalry will not change significantly.

In fact, after shooting an arrow, they turned to assist those Han people in leaving

The galloping horses seemed completely unaware that their master had already fallen to his death, and they continued to race towards Wei Tao.

Thirty steps

This is indeed a steed of Mercedes; being trampled like this is no different from being struck by a vehicle. Even if that person survives, it is merely a matter of drawing one more breath.

Including myself, there are only eleven people. Although in the era of cold weapons, it is not impossible to fight ten with one, it is not feasible for infantry to confront cavalry.

Kill the Han soldiers

A horse galloped towards us, and there was a person on it

These ten individuals can at most be considered decent soldiers, and do not even qualify for the title of elite troops.

The arrow flew swiftly, arriving in the blink of an eye, striking the front leg of a galloping horse.

Lü Bu

The text appears to be incomplete or unclear. Please provide a complete sentence or context for accurate translation.

A faint smile flashed across Wei Tao's face, but it was soon replaced by a serious expression

At this moment, Wei Tao felt no regret in his heart. Faced with nearly one hundred cavalry, holding out for even a quarter of an hour was the limit; now he was preparing to break through and escape

Suddenly attacked, especially at the vital joints, the horse immediately reared up on its front legs and let out a loud neighing sound

Suddenly, a horse galloped up from behind and heavily trampled on that person.

More importantly, this led to even greater chaos among the cavalry.

However, what surprised everyone was that only Lü Bu came rushing in, while the other soldiers were nowhere to be seen

The disadvantages of infantry against cavalry are not easily overcome.

Wearing a purple-gold crown that binds the hair, clad in a red brocade battle robe adorned with flowers, dressed in a beast-faced, head-swallowing chainmail, with a finely crafted lion belt at the waist, carrying a bow and arrows, and holding a Fangtian painted halberd, the newcomer exudes an imposing presence, radiating an air of authority that makes one hesitant to meet their gaze

Wei Tao attaches great importance to this move; without it, he would not dare to confront the Xiongnu cavalry so boldly.

However, this is a distance of a hundred steps; even if one could shoot an arrow with great force over a hundred meters, it is unlikely to take the lives of those Xiongnu.

It is unclear why, at this moment, Wei Tao suddenly had such a thought, and even more inexplicably, he felt a sense of anticipation towards Lü Bu, hoping that he could take on a hundred opponents single-handedly

A sound of astonishment arose from the Huns who charged forward

It seems that it really cannot be done...

It must be said that the Huns truly deserve their reputation as a people of the horse, with exceptional equestrian skills. Each warrior lies low on their steed, making them difficult to target, and the high-speed galloping of their horses makes it even harder for arrows to hit their mark

The Hunnic cavalry clearly focused on the pursuit, and for the time being, they would not notice us.

Bai Duoyou, the cavalryman, was about seventy to eighty percent confident in hitting the target, but beyond a hundred paces, the power of the arrow would be significantly reduced. He did not expect to have such luck.

Captain, what is this ... ... there is still nearly a hundred steps of distance ... ...

The text provided appears to be incomplete or consists of non-standard characters. Please provide a complete and clear text for translation.

However, the Huns, who were well-prepared in advance, did not suffer significant damage or chaos this time

Although Wei Tao did not explicitly state it, he has quietly positioned everyone around. At least five of these ten arrows have hit their targets, causing five cavalrymen to tumble immediately.

Everyone, whether it is Wei Tao or those Xiongnu, all paused slightly

They could not have imagined that this move was specially transmitted to Wei Tao by Cao Cao

At that moment, there was another long neigh of a horse, followed by a sudden loud shout.

Whoosh

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Tao had already been slashed five times. Had it not been for the fact that these Xiongnu did not know why they did not launch a strong attack on the horses, it is likely that at this moment, Wei Tao would have been forced to flee in a more disheveled manner

The Xiongnu cavalry were indeed audacious; after losing men, they not only did not retreat, but instead charged fiercely forward.

Although these Huns are fierce, they cannot be said to possess a significant amount of battlefield experience

At that moment, Wei Tao suddenly threw out his bow and arrow, then charged forward, rushing to the side of the horse, grabbing the reins. With a swift motion, he flipped over and mounted the galloping horse.

This time, the luck is indeed quite good

As he approached within a hundred steps of the other party, Wei Tao raised his hand to halt his actions

Apart from a brief encounter resulting in the elimination of one opponent, Wei Tao was entirely on the defensive, lacking any means to counterattack.

However, they were unaware that at this moment, Wei Tao was secretly feeling fortunate in his heart

The captain is impressive

The Xiongnu were naturally aware of the strength of the Han Dynasty; however, in their view, the Han relied more on their strong bows and powerful crossbows to achieve victory, and their horsemanship could not compare to that of a people who excelled on horseback like themselves

Although Cao Cao today has only experienced some tasks of eliminating mountain bandits, he understands that various situations can arise in the midst of the chaos of the battlefield

Wei Tao was curious about why Lü Bu had suddenly appeared here, while the Xiongnu were filled with a mix of surprise and fear. The name of Lü Bu had already become renowned across the grasslands, and there was not a single person among the Xiongnu at the border who had not heard of this name

Even if Wei Tao has little battlefield experience, he still understands these two sentences

All ten individuals swallowed hard, hitting the target with remarkable precision, striking the front legs of the galloping horse; such difficulty surpasses that.

However, the Xiongnu are still the Xiongnu. Although they were surprised by Wei Tao's horsemanship, upon seeing the spear in Wei Tao's hand thrusting towards them, they did not hesitate to swing their swords directly at the spear.

Hiss ... ...

Wei Tao's plan was to hold off the Xiongnu as much as possible, allowing Lao Fang and the others to assist the Han people in escaping from the Xiongnu's pursuit

In their eyes, Wei Tao was merely a child of over ten years old, yet he was able to be compared with the powerful warriors of his own clan

Forty steps

Wei Tao danced with great effort, immediately deflecting the curved blade that was about to strike him, and then took a moment to glance at the picture book.

Fifty steps ... ...

Originally, the distance was merely a few steps apart; when Wei Tao turned around, he found himself face to face with the other party.

Wei Tao let out a disdainful cold snort; in terms of martial arts alone, apart from having greater strength, he was fundamentally inferior to Zhang Wei, who had once sparred with Wei Tao on the training grounds

This time, Wei Tao did not act impulsively; he merely kept aiming with his bow and arrow

Kill

Foolish! Capable of nothing but reckless actions!

When the Han people saw someone coming to rescue them, they all shouted frantically, simultaneously squeezing out the last bit of potential from their bodies and running desperately.

Help!

Moreover, those who possess such abilities are at least capable of serving as a commander, which is not something that just any few soldiers can achieve

As for Lao Fang and others, at this moment, they are even less able to intervene

Ding ding ding ... ...

Wei Tao, however, chose to remain silent, slightly pausing, and then proceeded to string his bow and nock an arrow. After a brief moment of aiming, he relaxed his grip.

Due to insufficient official rank, Wei Tao's horses are temporarily kept in the military camp, and he can only rely on foot patrols

However, it is fortunate that Wei Tao did not pause; another arrow was shot out. This time, although it struck the horse's chest again, it did not cause any further chaos for the opponent

Lü Bu

This is Lü Bu, also known as Lü Fengxian

Kill

Wei Tao did not respond; he merely made a gesture of dispersal, and then proceeded to take down the bow from his back

A loud shout erupted from Wei Tao's mouth, and at the same time, the long spear that had originally been slung over his back was now tightly gripped in his hand, extending out like a swimming dragon.

It is important to understand that these Huns were originally reckless in their pursuits; with such a sudden turn of events, how could those behind them react in time?
