"Kill!"
Lü Bu took the lead, his Red Hare moving like lightning. Man and horse became one on the battlefield, and his Sky Piercer swept across the more than 20,000 men on the front line of the Jackal Kingdom.
Behind him were his own Bingzhou cavalry, who also charged into battle.
His ferocious aura was unparalleled, Sky Piercer was even more masterful in his hands, each strike reaping the lives of several Jackal Kingdom soldiers.
Pfft!
A splatter of blood shot out, instantly clearing away the enemies blocking Lü Bu's path. His gaze immediately locked onto Fu Zongchang, who was being firmly protected, and a cold smile flashed in his eyes.
"I've come to kill you!"
Without pausing, he patted Red Hare's rump and then charged towards Fu Zongchang like lightning.
Holy crap!
Seeing this, Fu Zongchang's face turned green; this guy was coming straight for him!
But his trusted aides continued to plead, "General, if we retreat without a fight, the king will never forgive us. We are invincible warriors; we will die on the front lines!"
The name "Jackal Kingdom" itself reveals their beliefs; they possess a wolf-like nature deep within them, and fleeing is considered the most shameful thing, likely to result in punishment from the king.
We have to go now; if we can hold out for a while, reinforcements will arrive.
As Fu Zongchang saw Lü Bu charging towards him, and seeing that the fellow was still arguing, he drew his sword from his waist.
Pfft!
Under the incredulous gaze of his confidant, Fu Zongchang killed him with a single blow, angrily shouting, "Go to hell! If you're so capable, why don't you go and try it yourself! I already said I can't beat you, stop spouting nonsense!"
After killing his trusted confidant, he didn't hesitate and immediately turned and ran.
Wolf culture is good, but even wolves will flee when faced with a ruthless opponent. This enemy is clearly not on the same level as me. My deputy general was evenly matched with me, but he was wiped out in a single misstep. And you son of a bitch want me to go in? You're practically asking for death.
To everyone's astonishment, Fu Zongchang turned and ran, heading into the distance.
"Trying to run away?"
Lü Bu also saw his movements, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. His Red Hare Horse increased its speed, and he charged into the midst of the enemy alone.
Sizzle!
The Sky Piercer slammed down, sending several Jackal Kingdom soldiers responsible for covering the rear flying and tumbling off their horses.
Before they could react, they were overwhelmed by the dense cavalry behind them.
Under Lü Bu's leadership, the Bingzhou army fought with incredible ferocity, slaughtering the enemy. The 20,000 soldiers of the Jackal Kingdom were dwindling at a visible rate, until only a small number managed to escape the battlefield.
"What a peerless and fierce general Lü Fengxian!"
From the rear, Zhang Liao looked at the ferocious Lü Bu and couldn't help but marvel. This guy was too exaggerated; he was practically just here to rack up kills.
Upon hearing this, the deputy general said with a wry smile, "General, if Lü Bu does this, none of us will survive. Wouldn't we have made a wasted trip?"
This guy eats all by himself.
Faced with Lü Bu hogging the spoils, Zhang Liao remained calm and laughed, " Fengxian's personal strength is too terrifying. Coupled with his cold-forged armor, he is practically invincible on the battlefield. His rampage has a huge impact on the morale of the enemy."
In this state, Lü Bu can only be described as invincible. Ordinary attacks simply cannot break through his armor, which is the most terrifying aspect of his morale.
Even though Red Hare was covered in armor, he was able to charge directly into the enemy ranks, causing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to have their credit stolen and have no chance to use their skills.
"However..." The lieutenant's face stiffened, but this way, nothing would happen to his side.
"It's alright!"
Zhang Liao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "These 20,000 men are just the enemy's outer warning force. The regular troops are still inside. Lü Bu alone can't break through that defense. That's our target!"
Let Lü Bu have these small dishes; you can enjoy the main course yourself.
Everyone's eyes lit up. What he said made sense; a main course was definitely more delicious than an appetizer.
With a fierce battle raging ahead, the Jackal Kingdom finally realized that war had truly arrived.
Chanyu Hulan a grim face. Suppressing his rising anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure you're from the Great Liang? They just established their kingdom and are still holding some kind of Fengshan ceremony. How did they get involved with us?"
This is fucking illogical! Are Lin Yi's arms that long?
"Your Majesty, the enemy's banners are those of the Great Liang, there's no mistake. They appear to be the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Great Liang, heavy cavalry! And there's a ruthless man wielding Sky Piercer, killing people like chopping vegetables. I'm afraid we can't hold them off at the front!" the messenger said bitterly.
Heavy cavalry?
Everyone's pupils contracted. If their cavalry encountered heavy cavalry, it would be a difficult situation. Heavy cavalry were tough nuts to crack.
And that guy with the Sky Piercer, he kills people like chopping vegetables; he's clearly a ruthless person.
Chanyu Hulan deep voice, "How many of them are there?"
"Nearly 100,000!"
"One hundred thousand?"
Upon hearing this, Chanyu Hulan's face froze, then he roared in fury, "You think you can attack my Jackal Kingdom with 100,000 troops? You're simply courting death!"
So you really think you're All Under Heaven and that we're easy targets, huh?
He glanced at the crowd and gritted his teeth, saying, "They're cavalry too, and they'll probably be here soon. We must prepare. Send word to the tribal chiefs to wipe them out!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a dense cacophony of shouts of battle, and his expression changed drastically.
The enemy has already attacked.
"Prepare for the enemy!"
There's no turning back now. Since the enemy dares to cause trouble in our own backyard, we should be prepared to be besieged by them.
Rumble!
Before seeing the person, one could already hear their voice.
"They're here!"
From afar, all that could be seen was a cloud of dust rising into the sky, shrouding the area not far ahead. This made Chanyu Hulan's expression turn serious; clearly, a formidable enemy had arrived.
He said in a deep voice, "Judging from the scale of the smoke and dust, the enemy probably numbers no less than 100,000. This battle is going to be tough!"
As a seasoned veteran who had fought for many years, he was already very familiar with observing smoke and dust, and he could tell the enemy's strengths and weaknesses at a glance.
"Only 100,000 people, nothing to fear!"
The crowd sneered. So what if there were 100,000 men? They were just being sent to their deaths.
This is our own base camp; reinforcements can come continuously, and the enemy is destined to be repelled.
Chanyu Hulan slightly, agreeing with the logic. However, if these people attacked directly, the 20,000 men at the front would likely have already been wiped out.
He said in a deep voice, "Prepare, fire the arrows!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone was ready to deliver the greatest blow the moment the enemy appeared.
The enemy has finally arrived!
