I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 205 - 12: Defeating Lu Bu and Seizing Bingzhou, Liu and Cao’s Major Victory

Chapter 205: Chapter 12: Defeating Lu Bu and Seizing Bingzhou, Liu and Cao’s Major Victory

The sound of the wind howled.

The soldiers on both sides were somewhat dumbfounded at that moment.

Lu Bu’s followers found it hard to believe that someone could actually fight Lu Bu to this extent.

And Ma Chao’s troops had the same thought.

Gu Chen was a descendant of the Gu Clan.

The legend of the Gu Clan could make them accept that Ma Chao was no match.

But where did this Lu Bu come from?

Both sides were greatly surprised.

——This battle was destined to be extraordinary.

Naturally, the forces on both sides would not just stand by and watch. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and others were all fierce generals.

And the plains of Pingyuan were just the place where cavalry could unleash their fullest potential.

Under Ma Chao were the elite Qiang cavalry.

But the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under Lu Bu were no easy target either.

Moreover, the most crucial thing was——

Whether it was Gao Shun or Zhang Liao, both were considered top-tier warriors.

Especially in this kind of assault battle.

Their skills were exceptionally outstanding.

Under Gao Shun was the ’Trapped Camp,’ composed of fearless, sharp cavalry.

Now with Ma Chao being obstructed by Lu Bu.

How could the deputy generals under him possibly be a match for the likes of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao?

Throughout the Pingtao Plain, the wails of horses and the screams of wounded soldiers resonated continuously.

In a short time.

The forces under Ma Chao had already completely fallen to a disadvantage.

——Even at such a time, Gu Chen finally arrived.

This effectively complemented the strength of Ma Chao’s troops.

Gu Chen, wielding a long spear, led his army straight at Lu Bu, blocking a strike for Ma Chao, and shouted: "Meng Qi!"

"Quickly regroup the formation, assist me in defeating the enemy!"

Ma Chao was naturally unwilling to retreat.

Although he had already fallen behind, his pride prevented him from retreating, and he immediately shouted: "Young Master, I can defeat this scoundrel!"

"Listen to my orders!" Gu Chen’s expression was extremely serious.

Although he had just exchanged blows with Lu Bu, the sheer force felt from the weapons alone was enough to demonstrate Lu Bu’s exceptional prowess.

Ma Chao had a lot of respect for Gu Chen.

Moreover, he couldn’t completely disregard the lives of his subordinates.

The main reason Gu Chen didn’t reorganize the formation himself was because only Ma Chao understood his Qiang cavalry best.

Reluctantly, he sighed, and had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, pointing his halberd at Gu Chen: "So, you are that Gu Clan descendant, Gu Chen, Gu Ziyan?"

"Hmph!"

"In light of the kindness the late Mr. Gu showed to Bingzhou, I can give you an opportunity."

"Dismount and surrender now, and I can spare your life!"

Even though he had already fought fiercely with Ma Chao for some time, Lu Bu was still brimming with energy and eager for battle.

"You parricidal villain, how dare you mention my Gu ancestors?"

Gu Chen wasted no words, suddenly pulling the reins, causing his horse to rear up, and he thrust his spear at Lu Bu.

"How bold!" Lu Bu was furious.

With one swing, he struck away Gu Chen’s fierce attack.

The next moment, he switched his stance, his halberd coming down with immense force directly targeting Gu Chen.

Clang!!!

Gu Chen sat firmly on his horse, holding his spear vertically like a pillar, meeting the attack head-on.

The collision of the heavy weapons sparked a shower of sparks.

Gu Chen only felt a wave of numbing pain, yet seized the opportunity, twisting his wrist, the spear tip darting like a snake’s tongue aiming directly at Lu Bu’s lower part.

"What a fine descendant of the Gu Clan!"

Lu Bu immediately sensed Gu Chen’s extraordinary nature, crying out in excitement, while swiftly lowering the halberd shaft to clamp the spearhead, the wolf head on the halberd aimed for Gu Chen’s face.

Though they had just engaged, each move was deadly.

Gu Chen remained composed.

He suddenly loosened his grip on the silver spear and leaned back, avoiding the strike.

Ignoring Lu Bu’s attempt to fling away his spear.

He seized the chance to fling three tri-edged armor-piercing arrows from the quiver at his waist.

This was a unique skill he invented as his strength grew.

Just using his accuracy, which could hit a willow leaf at a hundred paces, was enough to fully unleash the arrows’ power without needing a cumbersome bow.

The sound of the arrows shattering the air cracked like thunder.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu did not anticipate that Gu Chen had such a method.

However, he reacted, immediately forsaking his attack on Gu Chen, turning his body to avoid two arrows, but the third grazed his chest armor, leaving a half-palm white mark on his breastplate.

Causing Lu Bu to have his steed take several steps back.

Taking advantage of the moment, Gu Chen quickly rode up to his silver spear, pulling it from the ground.

"Well done!"

Lu Bu’s eyes were sharp, fixing them on Gu Chen: "Indeed, the heir of Lord Gu, this general will give you another chance."

"Will you dismount and surrender?"

Even Lu Bu’s arrogance couldn’t deny it.

Gu Chen’s skills far exceeded the just-finished Ma Chao, enough to contend with him.

"No more nonsense!"

Gu Chen charged instantly, spear ready, while shouting: "You dare to compare with my Gu Clan?"

"Die!"

Lu Bu was utterly enraged, unleashing all his strength.

Wielding the halberd in a sweeping arc, the crescent blade whistling through the air, Gu Chen angled the spear against the saddle, wedging it between saddle and iron spear to withstand the heavy blow.

Clang!!!

Sparks flew from the iron-wrapped spear shaft.

Lu Bu’s strength indeed felt like a mountain, even causing Gu Chen’s steed to retreat several steps, letting out a clear whinny.

Meanwhile, Lu Bu’s offensive did not lessen.

Twisting his wrist, the halberd changed from a chop to a peck, the crescent blade like an eagle beak aiming for Gu Chen’s left shoulder.

Gu Chen leaned back to dodge, his spear tip lashing out like a snake from under his armpit, directly targeting the tiger mouth of Lu Bu’s right hand holding the halberd.

With one hand, Lu Bu tugged the reins, causing his steed to abruptly rear up.

The halberd’s arc shifted with the horse’s momentum, entangling the spearhead in a mighty yank.
