Chapter 37: The Calamity of Cao's Army (2)

  "Cao Chun! Hmph!" Lü Bu charged forward on his horse, from the White Gate Tower. He couldn't kill Cao Cao, nor could he kill Xiahou Yuan. Cao Mengde attacked my Xuzhou and took away my foundation. Today, I'll let you experience the pain of losing a beloved general!

  Lü Bu didn't know who Cao Chun was, but he knew that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were Cao Cao's most treasured elite troops. The entire Yan Province only had a few thousand of these cavalrymen, so Cao Chun being their commander-in-chief must be one of Cao Cao's top generals!

  Lü Bu wanted nothing more than to kill Cao Chun and cause Cao Cao's heart to ache to death.

  "Die!" Lü Bu's entire focus was locked onto Cao Chun, when he wanted to kill someone on the battlefield, he would be completely focused, no one could stop him, not even a god.

  "No, how can I die? I won't die!" Cao Chun had previously underestimated Lü Bu's ferocity and even looked down on him. In his eyes, Lü Bu was just a lowly rascal, a three-name household slave who betrayed trust and abandoned righteousness, and even took personal relationships so seriously that he couldn't become a great hero. Cao Chun had always considered killing Lü Bu as one of the ways to achieve merit for himself.

  When Cao Chun was named by Old Cao to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun was very happy. In his view, Lü Bu had already become a fish on his chopping board, and as long as he killed Lü Bu, he would be able to prove to the world that he, Cao Chun, was the true great general, and he, Cao Chun, was the true god of war.

  But now Cao Chun panicked, he was a military general and naturally had a much stronger sensitivity to danger than ordinary people!

  Lü Bu's terror was previously just hearsay, but now he truly felt it, this god-like man, the wolf god of the grasslands.

  "Fast, too fast!" Cao Chun saw the golden spear shadow and hadn't had time to react when he felt a chill, this was the feeling just before the long spear was about to pierce his body. "Detestable!" Cao Chun wanted to dodge but found himself with nowhere to hide, the entire long spear sealed off his retreat.

  Go forward, only forward, relying on the horsepower of the galloping horse can you escape.

  Cao Chun was indeed the main general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, a trusted general of Cao Cao. With a loud shout, he chopped down with his long sword at the horse's buttocks.

  "Whoa!" Scalding blood spurted out from the warhorse's body, and in pain, it suddenly accelerated, instantly pulling away from Lü Bu by several horse lengths.

  "Is the warrior going to cut off his own arm?! Lü Bu didn't expect Cao Chun to actually harm the warhorse beneath him. For a general, a good warhorse is like a comrade, a second life. Usually, cavalrymen treat their warhorses as partners and love them dearly. If the warhorse falls ill, they become frantic with worry. Now Cao Chun has actually harmed the warhorse! This one strike will speed up the horse for now, but it won't last long. In this battle... or perhaps just a few moments later, the warhorse will collapse and die on the spot."

  Lü Bu could also see that the warhorse under Cao Chun was no ordinary horse, although it couldn't compare to some famous horses like Red Hare, his original mount.

  "What's the difference in horsepower?!" Lü Bu sneered, if Red Hare was still under his control, he would have already charged forward with two halberds to kill Cao Chun. However, now it wasn't that the horse was bad, but rather that he wasn't familiar enough with the horse. This didn't hinder Lü Bu's pursuit.

  "Let's see if my Blood-Sweating Horse is faster or your Warhorse is!" Lü Bu patted his warhorse, which was already quite fast, and suddenly accelerated even more, this time with a burst of speed that made the wind rushing past his ears feel sharp.

  Arabian war horse! This horse may be common in the present world, but it was bred to perfection. However, during the late Eastern Han dynasty, it was a truly precious steed, a treasure of the world.

  There are three pure-blooded horses above, the Sweating Blood Horse, the British horse, and then there's the Arabian Warhorse. Although the Arabian Warhorse isn't as fine as the Sweating Blood Horse, it's not much different either, both falling within the range of pure-blooded horses. In fact, the Arabian Warhorse is actually a type of Sweating Blood Horse. Lü Bu doesn't know what an Arabian Warhorse is, he only knows this is a Sweating Blood Horse, and it has the characteristics of one on its body.

  In the Han Dynasty, even throughout the entire Chinese history, every single one of these heavenly horses was extremely rare. Lü Bu never thought that Liu Mang could bring him a total of 2,500 of these heavenly horses!

  "How is this possible?!" Cao Chun's face changed color in shock, his horse was not top-notch but still quite good, among the fine horses in the world, only a few could surpass his own horse. Lü Bu's original Red Hare might have been able to surpass his warhorse, but now the Red Hare was still in Xiaopei, where did Lü Bu find such a precious horse?!

  "Where can you escape to?!" Lü Bu rushed up once again, his killing intent closing in once more.

  Finished.

  "I absolutely cannot die!" Cao Chun gritted his teeth, looking at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushing forward rapidly under his command. Sorry to my brothers! Cao Chun suddenly raised his knife and swung it out, but the direction of his attack was not Lu Bu behind him, but the front, those Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who followed his orders, his sworn brothers.

  "Whoosh!" Two blood flowers floated up, two heads flew up, the war horse that lost its owner's reins suddenly slowed down, Cao Chun instantly surpassed them, and the two corpses blocked the road behind Cao Chun, Lü Bu was stopped, if Lü Bu rushed again, he would crash into the horses.

  "This is really getting tough for me?!" Lü Bu looked at the two war horses in front of him that had lost their master, and he couldn't help but admire Cao Chun. This was his own sworn brother, his own brother! He killed with just a word, all for his own life, and directly beheaded him! He was indeed a member of the Cao family, with the same moral character as Cao Cao.

  Lü Bu didn't slow down at all, on the contrary, the war horse's speed increased instead. Just as the war horse was about to trample those two aimless tiger and leopard riding horses, Lü Bu suddenly pulled hard on the reins, his legs tightly clamping the horse's belly, and the entire horse leapt into the air, directly clearing the two riderless war horses, and charged towards Cao Chun's direction.

  "No way!" Cao Chun saw that the two warhorses were completely unable to stop Lü Bu, who was about to take action again with just one bite of his teeth.

  Two tiger and leopard riders on the side had already seen Cao Chun's movement, and they felt a chill in their hearts. Without waiting for Cao Chun to speak, they bowed their fists towards him and said, "General, we'll go first!" Instantly, the two of them fell back by two horse lengths and struck their horses sideways.

  "Anyone who blocks me shall die!" Lü Bu's halberd pierced the bodies of two men, but this time he was really blocked by two tiger and leopard riders and could not pursue them.

  "Lü Bu, today's hatred, Cao Chun will settle tomorrow!" Cao Chun felt relieved when he saw Lü Bu being blocked and couldn't help but curse loudly.

  "Revenge?!" Lü Bu said coldly. "You probably won't have that chance, I, Lü Bu, haven't let anyone I want to kill on the battlefield live!" Lü Bu raised the long spear tied to his horse, each warhorse had this kind of cavalry spear, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to place.

  Lü Bu raised his long spear, with a fierce killing intent in his eyes. His large hands gripped the spear tightly, like tiger claws, and the veins on his arms bulged out, his entire body ready to burst into action.

  "Go!" Lü Bu's hands had the strength of a thousand jun, and now this strength was fully concentrated on this long spear.

  "Puchi!" Blood splattered everywhere, Cao Chun's eyes widened in shock, staring at the scene in disbelief.

  "Plop!" On the grandstand of the big camp, Cao Cao also spat out a mouthful of blood "Zihe, my great general!" As he said that, he fainted and fell over.

  "Your Lordship, Your Lordship!" A commotion broke out on the viewing platform.

  On the road of the tiger and leopard riding charge, a horse and a man were nailed to the ground by a long spear. The long spear was inserted from top to bottom, and the blood flowed down along the spear, dyeing a piece of grass red.

  Tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Chun, Cao Ziheng, fled!
