Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei surrounded Lu Bu and fought like a lantern.

Yuan Yi, Bao Xin and other eight people were all stunned.

Originally, Lu Bu was fighting alone against the two super generals Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Although it was not a leisurely battle, he was definitely able to withstand them completely.

After Liu Bei joined, the situation changed.

Although Liu Bei was only a second-rate general, standing there would still affect Lu Bu's judgment.

In addition, he first played more than fifty rounds with Zhan Fei, then Guan Yu joined, and Lu Bu played more than thirty rounds with the two of them.

Such a long period of consumption caused Lu Bu's physical strength to drain quickly.

After another eighty rounds, it became increasingly difficult for Lu Bu to attack and block, so he saw that Liu Bei was not strong in force and gave a false thrust. Liu Bei did not know that he was feinting and hurriedly stepped aside.

Lu Bu took the opportunity to swing the horns of the formation, dragged Fang Tian backwards and drew his halberd, and Pegasus returned.

When Liu Bei saw Lu Bu taking advantage of his opportunity to escape, he felt regretful and hurriedly pursued with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At this time, Zhang Liao, who was following behind, also rushed to the battlefield and immediately led an army of 30,000 Xiliang troops to attack the Eighth Route Army.

After the eight-way princes had just fought against Lu Bu and Bingzhou Langqi, except for Wang Kuang's 10,000-strong army, which was almost completely wiped out, the rest did not lose too many troops.

Seeing that Zhang Liao could only lead 30,000 troops, they were not afraid and led their troops to kill him.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao did not panic at all. He calmly commanded the army to first accept Lu Bu into the formation, and then rushed towards the alliance army.

Although the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and other princes had an advantage in numbers, they were composed of eight forces after all. There was no tacit understanding among them and the orders were not unified.

On the other hand, the 30,000 Liangzhou soldiers under Zhang Liao followed orders and prohibitions, advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, and showed no signs of panic when facing an enemy force nearly three times their size.

The two armies have not yet fought each other, and a decision has been made.

Therefore, the allied forces of the princes had a numerical advantage, but they were unable to turn their advantage into victory. Instead, they were entangled by Zhang Liao's 30,000 army.

At this time, under Lu Bu's command, three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry came from the side of the eight-way princes' coalition, and with the momentum of the horses, they instantly divided the princes' coalition into two halves.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, originally the king's army, was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, fighting against a coalition of princes who were completely unable to unite their front.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan quickly commanded the army, using his numerical advantage to hold back the Bingzhou Langqi and Xiliang armies, while slowly retreating.

At this time, Li Jue and Guo Si, who were responding from the rear, saw that Lu Bu's vanguard army was already fighting with the vanguard army of the coalition of princes, and they had gradually established an advantage.

So the two of them did not hesitate, and directly led an army of 50,000 people to arrive, and joined forces with Lu Bu's army to attack the coalition of princes.

Originally, only the Bingzhou Langqi and 30,000 Xiliang troops had already defeated the coalition of princes, which could only resist and had no chance to fight back. The sudden addition of Li Jue and Guo Si obviously caught the coalition of princes by surprise.

Already at a disadvantage in terms of combat effectiveness, the coalition forces of the princes were now unable to even gain an advantage in numbers. At this time, they were completely demoralized and had no will to fight.

Scholars such as Kong Rong and Yuan Yi, who had almost never participated in a war, had never seen such a battle. When they saw their army being defeated, they immediately panicked and did not know how to command their armies, so they just retreated.

As the only general in the Eighth Route Army, Gongsun Zan had to stay in the rear to cut off the rear.

Even so, the troops belonging to other princes still did not listen to his orders and just fled towards Hulao Pass.

Gongsun Zan had no choice but to fight and retreat.

Because the line of the fleeing allied forces was too long, Gongsun Zan, who was at the end, was tightly held by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's army and could not get rid of him.

So when Gongsun Zan led his army to escape back to Hulao Pass, the defenders inside the pass had no time to close the gate. Lu Bu's army followed Gongsun Zan and entered the pass.

Without Hulao Pass as a support, the Eighth Route Army allied forces could not withstand the joint efforts of Lu Bu and Li Jue, so they had to abandon Hulao Pass in a hurry and fled towards Liu Feng's army.

As Lu Bu led the army to enter Hulao Pass again and the allied forces of the princes retreated, control of Hulao Pass once again fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

All the efforts of the eight princes fell short.

Liu Feng and the other coalition forces of the ten princes also arrived in front of Hulao Pass. He was about to lead the army to enter Hulao Pass to station, but suddenly he heard the sound of killings in the pass. Then Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi and other princes came from Hulao Pass. Escaped from prison.

And the army they led was all discarded of their armor, and all of them were injured.

Gongsun Zan was the last to come out of Guanzhong with his 10,000 troops.

Even if no one spoke at this time, they could all guess that Hulao Pass had fallen into the hands of the enemy again.

In desperation, Liu Feng had no choice but to order the army to camp where it was. The army rested here while the princes entered the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.

Liu Feng saw that although Wang Kuang was the first to come out of Guanzhong, he also suffered the heaviest losses. Not only was he covered in wounds, but there were only less than 4,000 of his 10,000 soldiers left.

Although Gongsun Zan was the last one to come out of seclusion, he had no injuries except for some damage to his armor, and there were still about 8,000 of his 10,000 soldiers left.

So Liu Feng asked what happened.

Since Gongsun Zan and Wang Kuang represented two opposite opinions, they did not speak. Instead, neutral Yuan Yi, Qiao Mao and others told Liu Feng the complete story.

Of course, Qiao Mao and others were also very angry at Wang Kuang's greed for power and his rash advancement, which not only caused heavy losses to him, but also caused Hulao Pass, which he had worked so hard to defeat, to be taken away by the enemy again.

Therefore, when telling Liu Feng, it is inevitable that he will be biased towards Gongsun Zan.

However, Liu Feng had the ability to make his own judgment. After listening, Liu Feng stood up, patted Gongsun Zan on the shoulder and said,"Brother Bogui, thanks to your efforts to turn the tide today, otherwise the army of the eight princes would have been completely wiped out."

Just after Liu Feng finished speaking, A herald ran in and said to everyone:"Report to the leader, generals, a man rushed out of Hulao Pass, claiming to be Lu Bu, and came to call for formation."

When Wang Kuang and others heard that Lu Bu had arrived, they were frightened. At a loss.

The other princes who had not seen Lu Bu fight with their own eyes heard that Lu Bu came to challenge, and they sent their generals to challenge Lu Bu.

However, these people were no match for Lu Bu. They were all instantly killed by Lu Bu.

At this time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were separated by Bingzhou wolf cavalry when they withdrew from Hulao Pass not long ago, and they have not yet joined the coalition forces of the princes.

Just when the princes didn't know what to do, Liu Feng stood up and said,"I'd better go in person. I've been waiting for this moment for too long."
