Xu Chu who was eager to test his strength against Lu Bu, immediately attacked Lu Bu using his rod hammer. Lu Bu who saw this immediately deflected the attack using his halberd, feeling the heaviness from the strike he was surprised as he saw that Xu Chu didn’t have much in terms of skills, so he used just pure strength which he had never found before except for Dian Wei who he fought against in Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu feels his fighting spirit ignited, trying to redeem himself by defeating Xu Chu whom he thought was Dian Wei, the clash of Lu Bu’s halberd and Xu Chu’s rod hammer reverberated throughout the battlefield.

Lu Lingqi seeing how Xu Chu could stand toe to toe with Lu Bu using just pure physical strength, was surprised as this made her remember the event of Hulao Gate, where Dian Wei was the same as Xu Chu.

Remembering Hulao Gate also makes her remember Lie Fan, the man who contributed to the defeat of her father, and left an unforgettable mark on her, she shakes her head to stop thinking about Lie Fan and steps forward to support her father.

Li Dian and Yue Jin who see this immediately gang up on Lu Lingqi, Li Dian tells Yue Jin of her strength and that if it’s only one of them, they can’t defeat her but if they work together they can overwhelm her.

Lu Lingqi who wanted to support her father, was blocked by Li Dian and Yue Jin makes her angry, she uses her halberd and attacks both Li Dian and Gue Jin respectively, and the two show their teamwork to her.

Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi were focused on fighting against Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Yue Jin so the command of the battle was left to Chen Gong, who commanded Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu to support the front line.

The Battle Of Jibei will be remembered in the annals of history for the first female general participation in history was recorded, Lu Lingqi talking on Li Dian and Yue Jin showed her bravery, prowess, and skill.

Not many people could take on Li Dian and Yue Jin at the same time, especially with how well-coordinated the two had been since they entered Cao Cao’s ranks due to Xiahou Dun, who sees the skills the two have.

Cao Cao seeing Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Yue Jin managed to hold back Lu Bu, ordered his men to support the three generals, taking on Lu Bu’s men who were around them, he also ordered his catapults to be fired towards Jibei, collateral damage be damned.

The addition of the catapults disrupted some of Chen Gong’s plans, as it managed to destroy some of the warehouses that stored their supplies, the people of Jibei in panic stole some of it, and he could only spare a small amount of men to take it back.

Chaos slightly ensued inside the city, allowing Cao Cao and his generals to take advantage of it. Chen Gong needs to redirect some of the men from the North, South, and West gate to make a small unit, to take back the supplies.

What Chen Going doesn’t realize is, that taking some of the units from the North Gate under Gao Shun disrupted Gao Shun’s impenetrable defensive formation, allowing Xiahou Dun to take advantage.

Xiahou Sun is a frontline general, but that doesn’t mean he can’t use tactics as he can be considered to be the 3rd general after Cao Ren and Yu Jin to devise a good formation or tactics before battle.

Xiahou Dun uses the opening he saw in the formation and Gao Shun who realizes that there is an opening is too late, as Xiahou Dun’s men have begun to control the siege ladders position, which allows more of his men to climb up safely.

Gao Shun can only make a new defensive formation perimeter, which sacrifices some spaces and allows Xiahou Dun to control 25% of the Northern Gate Walls, Gao Shun reported this situation to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong hearing this cursed himself for being too focused on taking the supplies back, not realizing that he accidentally caused an opening to be opened and now that opening allows Xiahou Dun to enter the North Wall.

Not having that much of units in their reserve, Chen Gong takes some of the men from the West Gate to support Gao Shun, not realizing that this will be the downfall as Chen Ging was too focused on creating a balance, one that Guo Jia and Xi Zhucai have noticed.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai feel that the more Chen Ging tries to create a balance, the more openings are opened in his strategy and tactics that the two of them could take advantage of, considering that Xi Zhicai also knew Chen Gong for some time.

Cao Cao: ”Gongtai still uses the same policy we use when fighting the Yellow Turbans? If it’s a bunch of peasants and bandits that policy will work as the enemies are just sending waves of humans.”

Guo Jia: ”Which is why My Lord we have found an opening, the soldiers at the Western Gate have been reduced, not much but still give a considerable effect to their defense.”

Xi Zhicai: ”With Lu Bu being handled by General Xu Chu, we are thinking of sending General Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Li Tong, and Lu Qian to support them and defeat Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu.”

Cao Cao: ”Will this allow us to Control the Western Gate? If it’s so then we can proceed as what the two of you have envisioned.”

Guo Jia: ”Yes My Lord it will, Lu Bu has many courageous generals but the amount is smaller than the generals you have My Lord, and now being split into three fields reduces it even more.”

Cao Cao nodded his head and allowed the two of them to implement their strategy, under Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai’s leadership the situation on the battlefield soon changed for the worse for Lu Bu and his army.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Li Tong, and Lu Qian participated in the main battlefield changed the favor to fall into Cao Cao’s side completely, the team of Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu couldn’t contend against them.

Lu Bu who sees this finally overpowers Xu Chu, through combined brute strength and martial arts skills he buys himself some time to support the three of them, while Xu Chu takes a moment to clear his head.

Lu Lingqi who was under siege by Li Dian and Yue Jin was also saved by Lu Bu, but this broke the balance which allowed Cao Cao’s general to push them back. The presence of Xu Chu mitigates the impact of Lu Bu on the battlefield, so he can’t support his army fully.

This allowed Cao Cao’s generals in the West Gate to control the wall 50%, which allowed their battering ram to break through the west gate of Jibei without any problem.

Chen Gong who heard this positioned Lu Bu and his army that was positioned at the west gate to hold Cao Cao’s main army off, the breach raised an arm on Chen Gong’s instinct which told him they needed to flee.

The same situation happened in the North Gate of Jibei, since Xiahou Dun managed to gain a foothold on the top of the wall, his battering arm also managed to break through the gate safely without any obstruction.

Gao Shun instantly reorganized his army and had his men put a defensive formation to block Xiahou Dun’s army from advancing any further, making Lu Bu and his army once again fall into a precarious situation.

Chen Gong without any communication with Lu Bu used a small unit to gather Lu Bu’s family and Lu Bu’s retainers’ family, having them head toward the East Gate with some protection to feel Jibei.

When everything is done, Chen Gong then tells Lu Bu of what has transpired and tells him that their only choice is to retreat and abandon Jibei, it’s the only way for him and his army to survive.

Lu Bu was angry that his only way was to flee again, he demanded Chen Gong think of another way, he would do anything as long as it was not fleeing Jibei. Chen Gong shakes his head, telling Lu Bu that there’s no other way.

Lu Bu who wanted to argue was cut off by Lu Lingqi who came toward him in panic, telling him that Lady Yan was leading the group of his retainers’ family head to the East Gate, accompanied by some units.

Hearing this, Lu Bu knew that this was part of Chen Gong’s plan to persuade him, so without any choice he could only order his army to retreat, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who were defending Jibei informed of this decision and soon joined up with Lu Bu’s army heading to the Eastern Gate.

Cao Cao saw that the sound of resistance inside the city turned smaller, and ordered his men who remained outside to also enter Jibei, to take control of Jibei and consolidate his rile here once again.

Cao Cao also entered the city, meeting up with Li Dian and Li Tong, who reported to him that Lu Bu and his army were feeling Jibei through the Eastern gate, now being pursued by Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren.

Guo Jia who heard this sent Li Tong to chase them, telling them to return and not chase Lu Bu as they needed to consolidate their newly received territories from defeating Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu and his army who managed to flee from Jibei headed east without stopping, and seeing that Cao Cao’s army had stopped pursuing them, Lu Bu ordered his army to take a rest.

Lu Bu ordered his generals to count the number of soldiers he had after the entire army take a stop from marching, and after some time he was informed that from 125,000 men he had around 96,000 men left.

This caused a huge blow to Lu Bu, who scolded Chen Gong to vent his anger. Chen Gong stayed silent and received all of Lu Bu’s scolding, knowing that Lu Bu needed to vent the accumulated anger in his heart.

Chen Gong: ”My Lord please calm your anger, right now we need to discuss our next step, what should we do now as many people are counting on you.”

Lu Bu: ”Humph! It’s easy for you to say Gongtai, you knew I wasn’t much of a thinker and planner, so why don’t you say what pain you have thought off!”

Chen Gong: ”Then I would like to suggest that we head to Beihai My Lord, to take refuge in Liu Bei.”

Lu Bu: ”Taking refuge in Liu Bei?! Are you saying for us to serve him?! Me serving Liu Bei?!”

Gao Shun: ”My Lord please calm your anger, I think that’s not what Master Chen Gong meant.”

Zhang Liao: ”That’s True My Lord please calm your anger, we should plan for our next move with a cool head.”

Chen Gong: ”I apologize My Lord for causing such misunderstanding, that’s not what I meant just like what General Gao and General Zhang said.”

Chen Gong nodded his head toward them in gratitude, then he explained how Liu Bei held the Qing Province and due to his reputation, he surely would not turn them down when they requested a shelter.

He then proceeded to tell everyone they’re, how they could exploit the situation and slowly took Qing Province completely from Liu Bei’s hand, while slowly recuperating their strength to fight against Cao Cao once more and retake what they have.

Everyone there including Lu Bu feels like what they will do will be the same as what they have done to Cao Cao. Thinking that Liu Bei was weaker than Cao Cao, and having a smaller amount of men compared to Cao Cao, Lu Bu agreed to this plan so after resting for a day they continued east, heading toward Beihai.
