Battle of Pacifying Youzhou (16)
At the moment of clash, seeing Lu Bu parry with his halberd, Huangfu Sheng's eyes lit up with joy. He knew very well that his full-force strike was aimed at someone at the Late Ascension Realm. Having taken the initiative from this strike, he would have to avoid Lü Bu's sharp edge in the next few moves.
It's safe now.
But as he swung his sword down, Huangfu Sheng was astonished to see Lu Bu's motionless figure and his arms not trembling at all. He was especially surprised to see Lu Bu raise an eyebrow. What was going on?
As a tremendous force surged through his arms, his face suddenly contorted in pain.
Beneath Huangfu Sheng's full armor, as the attack ended, a violent aura swept from his arms to his shoulders and chest, causing his skin to rupture and his veins to split open, with blood flowing continuously.
The qi traveled to his internal organs, where the malevolent energy continuously assaulted him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Lu Bu's arms suddenly spring up and his aura surge, Huangfu Sheng face revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Body Cultivator, no, you have true qi, you Dual Cultivation of Body and Law."
Without saying a word, Lu Bu shook his arms, knocking away Huangfu Sheng's broadsword. He then imitated Huangfu Sheng, raising his halberd and slashing straight down.
Seeing Lu Bu's halberd strike, Huangfu Sheng was filled with fear and hurriedly parried.
"Bang."
"Snap."
As the halberd came crashing down, Huangfu Sheng's horse couldn't withstand the force and burst open. The longsword in Huangfu Sheng's hand also shattered after only a moment.
He managed to block the attack, but Huangfu Sheng was still sent flying by Lu Bu's terrifying force.
He flew backwards for more than ten zhang, landing on the ground with his back touching the ground. He then slid several meters along the ground, knocking down many of the Great Feng cavalry behind him. His armor was worn to shreds as he slid along the ground, leaving a bloody trail and a trail of bloody, rotten flesh on his back.
As his Red Hare Horse like a red lightning bolt, Lu Bu swept his Heavenly Halberd, unleashing a devastating attack.
As Lu Bu moved, the murderous aura of the battlefield slowly converged towards him.
Every move he made resulted in a rain of blood, flying corpses, and a surge of malevolent energy. Behind Lu Bu, a massive, blood-black demonic phantom materialized, as if emerging from hell, ferocious and savage.
The colossal demon wielded its halberd, and the area within dozens of meters around it seemed to vanish into nothingness, with only blood and flesh splattering everywhere it went, shattering both men and horses.
Soon Lu Bu arrived at the spot where Huangfu Sheng had fallen. He stopped, bowed slightly, and saw that the man on the ground was weak and seriously injured, but still alive and useful.
Huangfu Sheng mustered his strength, slightly opened his eyes, and looked at the tall figure riding on horseback, looking down at him. His eyes were filled with fear, blankness, and utter terror, which were hard to describe.
How could that be? Just two moves, only two moves, and he was already powerless to fight anymore.
As the murderous aura enveloped Huangfu Sheng, he was hoisted onto his horse and placed before him, signifying that the commander of the Great Feng Imperial Clan's Immeasurable Iron Cavalry had been captured.
Lu Bu did not kill him. A man who could command 50,000 elite cavalry was no ordinary person. Moreover, he was already exhausted and his body was bound, making him a useless person.
Keep it, it might come in handy later.
Looking around, a dark glint flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He hadn't completed the Your Highness had given him. Holding his halberd, Lu Bu continued to charge towards the Great Feng cavalry.
He had to deal with these cavalrymen quickly, and then lead his troops to attack the rear army of the Great Feng and break through their formation.
"Strategist, what should we do? The general and his men are being held back. Should we charge forward and deal with these cavalry first?"
Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and the others, who arrived from behind and were a step behind Lu Bu, asked Chen Gong with a hint of urgency.
Looking at the battlefield where Lu Bu was, Chen Gong shook his head.
"No, Feng Xian Fengxian and his men deal with 50,000 iron cavalry, it will take them a while. The most important thing now is the main battlefield at the front."
"We'll circle around to the right and find Wen Yuan, then join forces with him to attack the rear army of Great Feng."
The group nodded and led their troops around to the right flank of the Great Feng battlefield.
With a "whoosh," a spear pierced the air, and a general of the Great Feng Dynasty was pinned to the ground, his chest pierced by the spear. Zhang Liao rushed over, pulled out his spear, and swept it horizontally.
The armor of the surrounding soldiers was torn apart, blood splattered, and corpses fell to the ground, clearing out an area.
Zhang Liao lifted the corpse off the ground with his spear, raising it high. As his true energy surged from the spear tip, the corpse was instantly shredded. Under the subtle control of his true energy, only a head remained, impaled on the spear tip.
Zhang Liao, holding the gun in one hand, weighed it in his hand, smiled, and muttered to himself.
"You ran pretty fast, did you think you could escape?"
The head in Zhang Liao's hand was that of the Qingcang Army. Zhang Liao had been eyeing this guy since the start of the battle, but who would have thought that this guy would run away so fast.
With the cover of a large army and men blocking his way, he actually managed to escape a few times. But on a battlefield, where can you run to?
They'll still die.
Seeing the Great Feng soldiers rushing up again, Zhang Liao didn't care. He wasn't alone. Before the enemy could even get close, they were driven back by the Huben Army and the Dagan army that had come with Zhang Liao.
With the heavily Huben Army blocking the way, the Dagan army was able to advance relatively easily.
"General Zhang, what should we do next? Our army now has only 20,000 men left, and the You Ran Cavalry coming from the right flank has been blocked by the Great Feng's Sufeng Cavalry."
The one speaking was Nie Mingfei, covered in blood and with a ferocious expression.
Nie Mingfei no longer harbored any resentment or dissatisfaction towards Zhang Liao. He felt that being able to serve as Zhang Liao's deputy was a win for Nie Mingfei.
Nie Mingfei was initially somewhat resentful of the Prince of Qin's order to directly appoint Zhang Liao as commander of the army, but after fighting for so long, he had come to accept it.
The 40,000 Qingcang Army on the right wing of the Great Feng, along with the 10,000 reinforcements from the central army, have almost been dealt with.
The man before him was top-notch in terms of strength, his command of soldiers, formations, battle situation, and his control of the situation. In Nie Mingfei's opinion, he might not be inferior to the old Marquis.
Commanding only 40,000 troops and fighting on the front lines is, in the heart, a bit of a waste of his talents. These are Nie Mingfei's true feelings right now.
Just as Zhang Liao was about to make further arrangements, his gaze suddenly turned to the side, and he heard the booming sound of horses' hooves.
Nie Mingfei also saw the iron cavalry charging towards the right rear of Great Feng and blinked.
"Aren't these Wolf Cavalry? Why are there only these people? Did they split up?"
Nie Mingfei naturally knew the name of the Wolf Cavalry army, and having seen them just yesterday, he couldn't possibly be mistaken.
However, compared to yesterday, today's Wolf Cavalry number less than half as many as yesterday, probably only around 20,000.
Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, and his expression changed slightly.
"Go! Lead the army straight ahead and join up with the Wolf Cavalry."
The Wolf Cavalry shouldn't be here. The two armies' cavalry are already engaged in battle. The Wolf Cavalry should be charging into the Great Feng Rear Army, not here. Something terrible has definitely happened.
