Chapter 37 - Casualties of the Cao Army (2) (2/2)

Arabian war horse! Although this type of horse might be common in modern days and were easily obtained via breeding, in the Eastern Han dynasty, they were genuine treasured horses! There existed three kinds of pure blooded horses: the Ferghana horse, the British horse and the Arabian war horse. Although the Arabian war horses does not have the superior quality of the Ferghana horse, they were pretty up there. Actually, the Arabian war horses was also a kind of Ferghana horse. Lu Bu didn’t know of what Arabian war horse, he only knew it to be a Ferghana horse as it had the characteristics of a Ferghana horse.

Throughout the whole Han dynasty and even the history of China, every single Ferghana horse was rare to come by. Lu Bu never would’ve expected that Liu Mang would bring to him a total of two thousand and fifty of such Ferghana horses!

“How could this be?!” Cao Chun turned pale with fright. Although his war horse wasn’t top notch, it was still very good. In the whole world, there were only a couple famous horses that was able to overtake his horse. Lu Bu’s Red Hare might’ve been able to do that, however Red Hare is now in Xiapi! Where did Lu Bu find another such precious horse?!

“Where do you think you’re escaping?!” Lu Bu had once again catch up to Cao Chun. His murderous aura had once again drew near.

“I absolutely cannot die!” Cao Chun bite his teeth. He saw that in front of him was the Ferocious Cavalry that was still galloping under his orders. I’m sorry brothers! Cao Chun suddenly lifted his blade up and brandished it. The direction where he attacked was not toward Lu Bu who was behind him but rather toward those who were ahead of him, those Ferocious Cavalry soldiers, his fellow soldiers.

“Poof! Poof!” Two blood flowers blossomed. Two heads flew toward the sky. The war horses that lost their masters suddenly stagnated and began to slow down. In moment’s time, Cao Chun ran past those horses and two corpses fell behind him blocking the path. Lu Bu was obstructed. If he continued then he would’ve crashed into the horses.

“This would baffle me?!” Lu Bu looked at the two warhorses that had lost their master and had a hint of admiration toward Cao Chun. This was his fellow soldiers than he killed! It was his brothers! To kill them just like that! To kill them just to save his own life! Not a hint of hesitation at all! As expected of a Cao clansman, he was exactly like Cao Cao!

Lu Bu did not slow down at all. Instead, his war horse’s speed increased. Right when his war horse was about to crash into the two aimless Ferocious Cavalry war horses, Lu Bu violently pulled on the rope and, with his legs, grabbed onto the horse’s stomach. Immediately, his horse leaped over the two aimless war horses and started pursuing Cao Chun again.

“Not good!” Cao Chun saw that the two warhorses were unable to stop Lu Bu at all. He bite his teeth and was about to attack again.

The two Ferocious Cavalry by his side had already seen Cao Chun’s movements and their heart was trembling with fear. Without Cao Chun saying anything, they held their hand toward him and said “General, we shall go first!” Immediately, the two turned around and stroke their horses.

“He who blocks me dies!” Lu Bu’s trident impaled the two’s body. However, he really was blocked by the two Ferocious Cavalry soldiers this time around, unable to catch up to Cao Chun anymore.

“Lu Bu, this Cao Chun will certainly have his vengeance for today!” Seeing that Lu Bu was stopped, Cao Chun loosened himself and started cursing at Lu Bu.

“Vengeance?!” Lu Bu said coldly. “I fear that you won’t have such an opportunity! There have yet to be anyone that I, Lu Bu, wanted to kill on the battlefield to not die!” Lu Bu raised up the spear that was attached to his horse. Every single war horses had this kind of cavalry spear, otherwise they’ll be hard to set formations with.

Lu Bu raised his spear. His eyes filled with murderous aura. His hands were like a vise firmly clamping the spear. His veins were exposed on his arms. His whole body was in a explosive state.

“Fly!” Lu Bu’s hands have the strength of a thousand jun. And now, his thousand jun strength had all be placed onto the spear.

“Poosh!” A blood flower blossomed. Cao Chun had his eyes wide open unable to believe what had just happened.

“Poof!” On the viewing platform, Cao Cao also surpt out a mouthful of blood. “Zihe! My great general!” Cao Cao fainted.

[TL: Zihe is Cao Chun’s courtesy name]

“My lord! My lord!” Panic burst through the viewing platform.

On the Ferocious Cavalry’s path of breakthrough, one horse and one man was pinned to the ground by a spear. As the spear pierced through from above, the earth was dyed red with blood.

Ferocious Cavalry. Cao Chun. Cao Zihe. Dead!
