Chapter 21: Dare to Fight Against Great Xia's Lu Bu?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
The three arrows tore through the air, and the soldiers on horseback fell to the ground, blood flowing out of their wounds as they took their lives.
Tuoba Zhan was shocked and in disbelief. The elephant-armored army was heavy cavalry, and their armor was extremely hard. Ordinary arrows could not penetrate it at all, but Xia's general's three arrows could fly at the same time and kill three people in an instant.
This person's strength was not ordinary.
On the battlefield, Lu Bu galloped over on his horse. He held the Dragon Tongue Bow in his hand and nocked an arrow again, pointing it at Tuoba Zhan. The latter saw the arrow and jumped off his horse, the spear in his hand moving like a windmill.
Bang!
Bang!
Two arrows were shot to the ground, and the last one pierced through his forehead. Tuoba Zhan's pupils dilated. Even in death, he could not believe that he had been killed by a single arrow.
With a Grandmaster's cultivation, he was invincible. The Sixth Prince Ye Chen had died at his hands, but now he could not even stop a Xia general's flying arrow?
Little did he know that he and Lu Bu were not in the same dimension at all, and a Great Grandmaster like Lu Bu would be a little too much of a blow to him.
To capture the bandits, capture the leader first, and to shoot the man, shoot the horse first.
When the elephant-armored army saw that Tuoba Zhan had been shot dead, they instantly lost their formation. Their general had died, and their morale had fallen. The elephant-armored army didn't become a pile of scattered sand, which showed their military accomplishments. However, when the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry charged in with their weapons, the elephant-armored army had no power to resist.
The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were like dragons, and all of them had a cultivation at Xiantian level ten.
The elephant-armored army couldn't even withstand a single blow, the armor they were so proud of shattering into pieces.
Lu Bu took the lead, placing the Dragon Tongue Bow on the side of the horse's back, and took out his Fang Tian Halberd to stab left and right. No one in front of the horse could match him as if he had entered a no man's land.
In an instant, they had killed a hundred people. The Fang Tian Halberd was dripping blood. The elephant-armored army retreated in defeat. They abandoned their armor and fled. However, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had no intention of letting them escape. They did not even give them a chance to catch their breath.
The dragon riders were as swift as the wind and as fierce as fire. Wherever they passed, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.
The killing was still ongoing, and the news had already reached Yuwen Hong's ears. When he learned that Tuoba Zhan had been killed by an arrow and that the elephant-armored army had fled in defeat, Yuwen Hong found it hard to believe. When did Xia have such brave and fierce soldiers?
He looked at the easily obtained Xiayang City and could only order the army to surround and annihilate Xia's army. In an instant, the rear army turned into the front army, and they moved like lightning toward Lu Bu.
The 100,000 tiger leopard cavalry were light cavalrymen. Their marching speed was extremely fast. They were all riding on the strongest divine chariots of the Northern Barbarians. The troops galloped on the battlefield in 10 different directions. Their momentum was great, and their aura was shocking.
The mighty Northern Barbarian cavalry charged over. Their black armor covered the sky, and their murderous aura filled every inch of the space.
In the city, Xue Wanqing looked at the retreating Northern Barbarian army and seemed to have suddenly thought of something. The battle general on the side was still in shock. "General, why did the Northern Barbarian army withdraw?"
"Gather the soldiers and go out of the city to kill the enemy!" Xue Wanqing said in a deep voice, and the deputy generals beside him were shocked. "General, the enemy has retreated. If we leave the city now, aren't we sending sheep into the tiger's den?"
"The Northern Barbarian army has given up on attacking the city," Xue Wanqing said. "They're probably going to encircle and annihilate General Lu. This is our chance to take advantage of the chaos and deal a heavy blow to the enemy from behind."
The Deputy General said, "General, even if that's the case, we only have 10,000 troops. We are no match for the Northern Barbarian army. Leaving the city is equivalent to suicide."
Xue Wanqing glanced at the Deputy General. "General Lu has 3,000 soldiers, and they dared to go against the enemy. Do we have to hide in the city with 10,000 soldiers?"
With a serious expression, he said coldly, "If it wasn't for General Lu's warhorse, would we have been able to escape the Northern Barbarian army? The people in the city are our family. We have no reason to retreat if we want them to live."
"Those who are willing to leave the city to fight, follow me. Those who are unwilling, I won't blame you."
Leaving behind these words, Xue Wanqing raised his spear and set off. When he arrived at the foot of the city, he leaped onto his horse and shouted with a thunderous voice, "Open the city gates!"
Boom.
Boom.
The city gate opened. Xue Wanqing rode in the lead, his cold spear striking the soul. He appeared in the wilderness outside the city. He turned back to look at the city gate. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and 10,000 soldiers followed closely behind.
In the wilderness, smoke and dust swirled as warhorses galloped. A great battle was about to begin.
When they arrived at the wilderness outside of Lieyang Pass, the battle in front of them made everyone gasp. 3,000 against 150,000, standing in an undefeatable position. After charging back and forth, they actually had the upper hand.
What kind of immortal's combat strength was this?
Xue Wanqing knew that the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were powerful, but he never expected them to be this terrifying. The Deputy General at the side swallowed his saliva. "General, General Lu is too fierce. He can fight 10,000 people alone?"
One against ten thousand, he was too narrow-minded.
Xue Wanqing said indifferently and immediately urged his horse forward. "All soldiers, listen up. Follow me to kill the enemy."
The appearance of the ten thousand strong armies had helped Lu Bu relieve a great deal of pressure.
Lu Bu didn't expect Xue Wanqing to lead the army here. His eyes swept across the battlefield and finally fell on Yuwen Hong. The Red Hare he was riding on flew off.
Yuwen Hong turned pale with fright. For 3,000 Xia soldiers to be able to put them in such a sorry state, the combat strength of this army had completely changed his understanding of the world. Seeing Lu Bu suddenly gallop over on his horse, his heart was filled with fear.
A man, a halberd, and a horse could charge through an army of thousands as if no one was there. He was an advanced Grandmaster?
Yuwen Hong was at Grandmaster level seven, but he could not see through Lu Bu's realm. He guessed that Lu Bu was an advanced Grandmaster.
The neighing of a horse could be heard as the Red Hare rose into the air. The halberd in Lu Bu's hand was pointed at Yuwen Hong, "Those who enter Great Xia shall die!"
Yuwen Hong could feel the pressure that Lu Bu was exuding, and he suppressed the fear in his heart, "Who are you? Do you dare to leave your name?"
"I am Great Xia's Lu Bu. Do you dare to fight me?" Lu Bu's voice was like thunder, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, giving off the feeling that he would kill anyone who stood in his way.
"Great Xia's Lu Bu, I will remember you," Yuwen Hong said.
After saying this, he pulled the reins and prepared to leave. To think that he could escape in front of Lu Bu was simply wishful thinking.
"You want to escape?"
Lu Bu's face was as calm as water. He urged his horse to gallop forward, and his Fang Tian Halberd pierced through Yuwen Hong's back, and he lifted him with his halberd. "The enemy general is dead. Follow me to kill the enemy, reclaim our lost territory, and kill our way into the Northern Barbarians!"
On the battlefield, Yuwen Hong was hanging upside down on the Fang Tian Halberd, and blood flowed down the handle. The Northern Barbarian army looked toward the source of the sound, and their eyes landed on Yuwen Hong's corpse. Their great general was dead. Their backbone was gone.
Their morale plummeted, and they instantly became a pile of loose sand.
Lu Bu's appearance had ended their constant victories. A few of the Northern Barbarian generals fled on their horses. "Retreat, hurry up and retreat!"
The sun was setting in the west, vultures swayed in the air, and sharp cries came from the celestial dome. Corpses piled up like mountains on the ground, and blood dyed the earth red.
The ground was covered in broken weapons, and all that could be seen was devastation. The thick smell of blood filled Lu Bu's nose. He raised his halberd and rode his horse. He turned to look at Xue Wanqing and said, "Order someone to send the good news back to Chang'an. Follow me and hunt down the enemy."
Xue Wanqing turned his head to look at the Deputy General beside him. "Use the Celestial Pole Eagle to send a message back to the capital."
The Deputy General nodded. "General Lu, don't chase after a cornered enemy. We've already won."
Lu Bu said, "The barbarian army's morale is low. We must pursue them. This is the best time to annihilate them."
At this point, he paused and looked into the distance in the direction where the Northern Barbarian army had fled. "I'm not here just to defeat the barbarian army. My goal is the Northern Barbarian... Empire!"
Everyone was speechless.
