VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 24: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE BATTLE OF GUANDU (16)
Meng De POV
*Ding* *Ling* A clear crisp sound accompanied a blinding reflection. It seemed like the world was silent as the top of a silver spear slowly moved through the air.
And just ahead of that spear was Yuan Shao Yuan Ben Chu, who had neither turned her head nor regained her senses after getting drunk from victory.
Who is it!? Is it Ben Chu’s subordinate general?
The situation did not afford me the time to think, and the pain and exhaustion made it difficult for me to think deeply anyway so I could only yell out at Ben Chu, “Ben Chu! Behind you!”
“Eh?” Ben Chu gave a silly response before quickly turning around, but it was all too late.
“Yaa!” The helmet girl bellowed to invigorate herself and stabbed at Ben Chu with her spear.
“My lord!”
I thought it would be over but a large red being suddenly flashed past my eyes and stood in front of the spear.
Was that… Yan Liang!?
*Psh* Before I could react, the sound of flesh being torn filled my ears.
I’ve spent a long time on the battlefield but this piercing sound still gave the me who was lying on the ground a shock.
I looked over and saw that Ben Chu was unharmed while in front of Ben Chu was Yan Liang who wore a set of red plate armour. Even though the spear was already stabbed into her throat, Yan Liang still grasped tightly onto the spear, and halted its movements altogether,
“Let go!”
“…”
The a.s.sailant roared out in anger and tried to pull out the spear. Yan Liang’s hands trembled and she suddenly yelled out and used the last of her strength–
*Ka* The spear broke in half.
“Kuh!” The subordinate general was shocked by what Yan Liang did but she released the broken spear in her hands and reached for the sword by her waist.
“Zhang He!”
“Ah!”
By now, Ben Chu had already regained her senses fully, and she used her sword to flick away the subordinate general’s sword.
I see, so that subordinate general is Zhang He. I carefully sized her up. She was slightly thin but she was healthy, and had very well-defined features. The only flaw she had on her was that helmet of hers.
Just by looking, I could tell that this wasn’t any ordinary general.
“Yan Liang…” Ben Chu kept her sword pointed at Zhang He as she approached Yan Liang.
“…”
Yan Liang had already suffered a grievous wound to her back, now her throat was pierced and the bleeding from this wound was even worse. She had already begun convulsing lightly but she still nodded at Ben Chu.
“Yan Liang, Yan Liang you must hold on.” Ben Chu began to grow frantic when she saw Yan Liang’s state and touched Yan Liang’s shoulders with trembling hands before looking at Zhang He with fury.
But Zhang He maintained a cold look as she spoke up, “Yuan Shao, what right do you have to stare at me like that?”
“You killed my subordinate general, and betrayed me, what right do I not have against you?!” Ben Chu’s sword reached Zhang He’s chest as she said so but Zhang He remained motionless at this.
