Of course, Lu Bu also noticed Zhuge Liang's arrival.
At this time, the infantry of Lu Bu's army were escorting the prisoners back to Jiange.
Lu Bu had only cavalry beside him, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack in full force.
Four thousand cavalry rushed toward Zhuge Liang's seven thousand Shu army like thunder.
Zhuge Liang saw that the enemy was fierce from a distance and did not dare to take it on.
He ordered the troops to form a withdrawal formation, with each unit covering each other and retreating to Fucheng in an orderly manner.
This withdrawal formation is effective for the pursuing infantry, and may also be effective for ordinary cavalry of the same era, but it has no effect on cavalry that are hundreds of years ahead of its time, such as Kaizima and Tiefutu.
A few rounds of arrows from Guaizima and a few fierce attacks from Tiefutu drove the Shu army to pieces and their souls were scattered.
Even if this Zhuge Liang is as magical as Zhuge Liang in Luo Guanzhong's novel, he is still powerless at this time.
The Shu army was immediately defeated, and the remaining soldiers fled in all directions.
Lu Bu's cavalry continued to pursue and fight fiercely.
Under the desperate protection of dozens of soldiers, Zhuge Liang galloped towards Fucheng.
Lu Bu prefers to use military force according to the situation.
Seeing such an opportunity, he would not let it go.
He made a decisive decision and pursued Zhuge Liang to Fucheng and captured Fucheng in one go.
The rhythmic sound of the horn resounded in all directions.
This was the rally call, and the cavalry of the Lu army who were chasing the defeated Shu army in all directions responded to the call and returned to their horses.
Lü Bu led his cavalry to pursue Zhuge Liang south.
Cheng Xu, who was beside Lü Bu, said: "My lord, my subordinates heard that Zhuge Liang is using his troops strangely.
Should we be on guard against him ambushing us?
The art of war is clear, so don't pursue the poor enemy."
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "If he wanted to ambush, he would never and would not dare to use Zhang Fei as bait, let alone nearly 10,000 Shu soldiers as bait.
In the two battles before and after, we killed at least 10,000 of the opponent's cavalry." , this number accounts for about one of the Shu army.
Besides, how did he know that I would pursue him?
I am sure that this decision was made on the spur of the moment.
A wise man would never gamble on a small probability with tens of thousands of soldiers and a lord's sworn brother. event."
After listening to Lu Bu's interpretation, Cheng Xu nodded in admiration.
Four thousand cavalry rushed toward Fucheng like a torrent.
Zhuge Liang had just entered Fucheng.
As soon as the city gate was closed, four thousand tiger and horsemen were already approaching the city.
At this time, there were only a thousand defenders in Fucheng.
Zhuge Liang, who had just entered the city, climbed to the top of the city.
The sun was about to set, and a ray of setting sun reflected the towers at the top of the city red.
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Bu's army under the city and breathed a sigh of relief.
The opponent only had cavalry.
It seemed that the opponent only wanted to chase him and did not want to capture Fucheng.
But he was wrong.
After the sun went down, Lu Bu's army showed no sign of retreating.
Fucheng disappeared into the dark world, and hazy clouds accumulated in the sky.
There were no stars or moon.
At this time, the four thousand cavalry had already taken a short rest and ate the "energy block" dry food they had brought with them.
Four thousand cavalry all got on their horses.
Zhuge Liang looked at the dark and confused figures and thought they were about to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, rows of arrows were fired at the top of the city, and all the soldiers quickly raised their shields to protect Zhuge Liang.
Ordinary soldiers were not so lucky.

Many of them staggered and lay on the tower after being hit by arrows, with torches falling beside them.
Lu Bu waved his hand that was raised high in the air, followed by a blast of horns.
The Eight Hundred Iron Pagodas began to charge, and Zhuge Liang wondered if they were going to hit the city wall.
When these iron pagodas were still twenty meters away from the city wall, they threw out the objects in their hands.
The sky was dark, and the Shu soldiers on top of the city who were dodging flying arrows couldn't see clearly what it was.
These things are actually flying claws, and these flying claws firmly hold onto the edge of the battlements.
Then these heavy cavalrymen jumped up with the speed of their horses, held the ropes in their hands, stepped on the city walls, and quickly climbed up to the top of the city.
Their horses slowed down, turned around and ran backwards just before hitting the city wall.
In the eyes of the people on the top of the city, these people scurried up like mice, and they were filled with fear.
Zhuge Liang's soldiers had already carried him back to the city.
"They climbed up with ropes.
Cut their ropes."
A few people finally woke up, but it was too late.
At this time, more than a dozen iron pagodas had already climbed to the top of the city.
These horseless iron pagodas were already fully armored heavy infantry.
They wielded horse-killing steel knives and fought with the Shu army at the top of the city.
This kind of battle is one-sided.
In the eyes of the Shu army infantry, these soldiers, covered in heavy armor and holding large steel swords, are like gods.
They were invulnerable, and the one-meter-long steel knives they wielded in their hands could cut a person in half with one strike.
What's more, more and more iron pagodas are ascending the city.
On the city wall, Lu Bu's army's iron pagoda had both quality and quantity advantages.
In other words, the defenders at the top of the city were defeated in a matter of seconds, and some of the iron pagodas were massacred into the city.
After a while, the city gate was opened, and the kidnapping horses waiting outside the city poured into Fucheng like a torrent.
At the same time, the south gate of Fucheng was also opened, but there was no Lu Bu cavalry on this side.
Lu Bu wanted to capture Fucheng quickly, so he did not divide his troops to attack the four gates.
This was also done to not give Zhuge Liang time to deploy Fucheng's defenses or set up traps.
Zhuge Liang, escorted by his own soldiers and generals, fled from the south gate.
In just half an hour, Lu Bu's four thousand cavalry had taken control of the entire city of Fucheng.
After he learned that Zhuge Liang had escaped, he did not order a pursuit.
At this time, the four thousand cavalry were tired after fighting for a day, so he ordered them to rest in Fucheng.
Zhuge Liang, who was fleeing south, saw that no one was chasing him, so he ordered everyone to slow down and asked to the left and right: "In which direction are we heading?"
"Tell the military advisor that we are on our way back to Chengdu."
"Leave a few people to report the news to Chengdu, and the rest will follow me eastward to join Zhao Yun's tribe.
I'm worried that Zhao Yun's tribe will also encounter the same fate as us.
So we must remind him," Zhuge Liang ordered in a cold voice, and everyone had no choice but to promise.
Escort him eastward.
Three days later, Zhuge Liang finally arrived at Chongguo County, where Dong Daying is located.
To Zhuge Liang's relief, Zhao Yun did not make any mistakes.
He was now stationing troops in Chongguo County, building siege equipment day and night, preparing to break the siege of Dong Daying. .
But Lu Bu did not give them time.
Almost at the same time that Zhuge Liang arrived in Chongguo County, after the infantry of Lu Bu's army settled in Fucheng, the four thousand cavalry who had rested for three days began to circle eastward.
At the same time, more than a hundred Viking longships carried two thousand Lu Bu army infantry down the Jialing River, and set up camp on the bank of the Jialing River in the southeast of Chongguo County to build forts, thus cutting off Zhao Yun's army's southeast supply line.
After receiving the scout's report, Zhuge Liang said helplessly to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, we need to retreat.
Now we are in danger of being cut off from supplies and outflanked by the opponent here."
"Then Wei Yan can't be saved?"

Zhao Yun asked doubtfully.
"Wei Yan and Yan Yan still have more than a year of food and grass supplies.
We will look for an opportunity to fight Lu Bu during this period, but the decisive battle must not be here."
Zhuge Liang replied with a helpless tone
