Can I get to the other side?

After Lu Bu cursed, Yuan Shu also ordered his soldiers to provoke and insult Lu Bu on the shore, in an attempt to provoke Lu Bu into ordering an attack.

But how could Lu Bu be fooled like this?

He is just reckless, not stupid.

Fighting across the river is not an easy task.

Especially now that Yuan Shu's army is eyeing the other side of the river. If he rushes across the river without sufficient preparation, the casualties will definitely be huge. He doesn't want to lose all the little wealth he finally saved in this battle.

Therefore, Lu Bu directly launched three armies to cut down trees, and it took three days to prepare a total of nine pontoon bridges.

Yuan Shu was not idle either.

During the time when Lu Bu was building the pontoon bridge, he also ordered his army to build a walled city with wood and stones on the bank of the Huaihe River, preparing to rely on the dangers of the Huaihe River to defend it and annihilate Lu Bu's army in the process of crossing the river.

In this way, five days passed quickly.

On both sides of the Huaihe River, flags fluttered, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The armies of both sides were well prepared.

This time Yuan Shu dispatched a total of 60,000 troops, which can be said to be an overwhelming force.

You must know that although Yuan Shu claims to have hundreds of thousands of troops, in fact most of them are logistics. The actual combat effectiveness of the army is only about 100,000, and he has already lost a lot in previous defeats.

Now these 60,000 were all the troops he could use, and he even transferred part of the army to guard against Sun Ce.

He knows the key to this battle.

If Lu Bu successfully crosses the river, even if Shouxian County is not lost, he will be unable to resist Lu Bu and Sun Ce's two-sided attack.

If Lu Bu's three armies could be defeated, he would have room for relaxation. With morale boosted, we may be able to regain all the lost ground in one fell swoop!

As for the soldiers on Lu Bu's side, there were more soldiers than Yuan Shu.

He has his own 40,000 troops, plus 30,000 Jizhou troops, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses that Liu Bei finally put together during this period, for a total of 80,000 troops.

However, although the numbers are superior, the location is not.

In the battle across the river, the attacker is often the most passive.

It is very likely that all the advantages previously established will be lost in one battle, or even the army will be completely defeated.

"This battle is the final decisive battle in the true sense."

Looking at the dark Yuan Shu's army on the south bank of the Huaihe River, a hint of awe flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he put away his arrogance.

If this battle can be won, the false emperor can be killed!

On the other side of the river, Yuan Shu was also standing on the camp that had been set up, looking at the three-way coalition on the north bank of the Huaihe River, his face gloomy.

Since he proclaimed himself emperor, in just a few months, he was besieged by various armies and suffered heavy losses.

"Lejiu, go and shout!" Yuan Shu gave an order to a general beside him.

Calling a formation before the two armies engage in battle is not only to boost the morale of one's own soldiers, but also to defeat others without fighting.

Of course, the latter is basically impossible to achieve in this situation now, and it is just to boost our own morale.

"According to the order!" Le accepted the order with clasped fists. After walking down from the camp, he rode his horse to the bank of the Huaihe River. He opened his mouth and cursed at Lu Bu's army: "Three surnamed servants! Lu Bu's son!"

"You have raised an unknown master to invade my Dacheng territory!"

"Now that I, His Majesty the Dacheng Emperor, am going on a personal expedition to defeat your rebellious ministers, why don't you hurry across the river and die!"

"Why don't you cross the river quickly and die——!"

"Why don't you cross the river quickly and die——!"

Lejiu's voice was loud, like a bell, and its tail sound echoed on both sides of the Huaihe River, and could be clearly heard by the soldiers of both armies.

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, Liu Bei, Yan Liang and others heard this and couldn't help but turn their attention to Lu Bu;

Lu Bu's face was gloomy and he turned his attention to Zhang Fei.

The title "house slave with three surnames" was first spoken by Zhang Fei, and now it has been widely circulated.

"Look what I'm doing? It's not like I'm scolding you. If you can, scold me back!"

Zhang Fei didn't feel embarrassed at all, but stared back.

"snort!"

Lu Bu didn't bother to argue with this reckless man, so he rode forward and responded coldly: "Yuan Shu, traitor, don't make any noise here!"

"There is only one emperor in the world today! Who do you think you are and how dare you call yourself the emperor?!"

"This general must take your head today!"

Le did not show any signs of weakness and directly retorted: "The slaves of the third surname! They only speak arrogant words!"

"The strength of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted. Today, the feudal princes are divided. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both have disloyal intentions. The so-called emperor is just a puppet!"

"I, Emperor Dacheng, obey the will of God and inherit the great power. This is my destiny. How can a slave like you with three surnames understand it?"

"It's not too late to retreat and surrender, otherwise when my army kills you, you will die without a burial place!"

Obviously, Lejiu's words were not improvised, but were prepared in advance by Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Lu Bu's martial arts scolding is okay, but how can his literary scolding be better than that of a literati?

I was stunned and speechless for a while.

"Hurry up! Just cheer for fun!"

When Yuan Shu saw Lu Bu's defeat, he felt proud and proud. He laughed and ordered his soldiers to join in cheering him up.

So all the soldiers under his command shouted loudly.

"drop!"

"drop!"

"drop!"

The 60,000-strong army drank together, causing the water of the Huaihe River to surge.

For a time, the morale of the army reached its peak!

Liu Bei saw that something was not going well, so he stepped forward and persuaded Lu Bu: "General, stop scolding him, just order the army to attack."

The scolding in front of the battle just now has already damaged their morale.

If the situation continues to be delayed, the situation may become even more unfavorable, and Sun Ce will be all advantaged by then.

"Hmm..."

Lv Bu gritted his teeth, his face was livid. Although he was very unwilling, he knew that Liu Bei was right.

But just as he was about to end the verbal battle and return to the army, Le Jiu's full-blooded scolding came from the other side of the river again.

"Three-surnamed slave, cowardly rat, your Le Jiu's grandfather is here!"

"Come over and die!"

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lu Bu suddenly turned around and stared at the figure on the other side of the river. His eyes were red and the murderous intent in his heart was almost bursting out!

"Bring me my iron-hearted bow!!!"

Lv Bu roared and roared, like a demon.

Bring a bow?

Liu Bei and others were all shocked when they heard this. They didn't know what Lu Bu was going to do by asking someone to bring a bow.

Soon, two soldiers brought a large bow that was almost as tall as a person, and another soldier held an iron arrow that was two fingers thick!

The bow body of this large bow was black and made of fine iron. It was very heavy at a glance!

But even with such a heavy bow, Lu Bu lifted it up with one hand, then grabbed the iron arrow and put it on the bowstring, aiming at the other side.

Only then did everyone understand what Lu Bu was going to do.

He was actually going to raise his bow and shoot Le Jiu at the other side to challenge him!
