VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 183: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE 8 DOORS GOLDEN LOCK FORMATION (10)

Liu Bei POV

Of course, I understand what Yuan Zhi wanted to achieve with her test now. If a few hundred troops could make it that far and not get surrounded, then that means the enemy formation is rather loose.

“Their formation is not dense at all.” Yuan Zhi explained when the soldier left, “That means the enemy does not have enough troops to make a complete 8 Doors Golden Lock formation anymore.”

“Yes.”

“Un.”

“Well then, get ready, we’ll be charging out from the right.” Yuan Zhi said as she steered her horse to face the right, “I don’t know where we are right now… But since this side is rather noisy, that should be where Lord Lu Bu and the rest are so charging in this direction should be good.”

“Alright!” We replied and nodded.

“But before that…” Yuan Zhi turned back to the bag on her horse and took out another gourd as she bit off the cap and began guzzling the contents.

“Yuan Zhi, don’t drink so much.”

“Yes, Lord Xu Shu, it’s good to have a bit. But having too much will only get in the way of doing things.” Zi Long too expressed concern but Yuan Zhi continued to guzzle down liquor without much of an expression.

Zi Long frowned in irritation and looked at me, as though she were waiting for my permission to do something. Maybe she wants to steal away Yuan Zhi’s gourd.

Un… That’s for the best. It might be a bit forceful but with the battle hand, we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

“Un.” I nodded.

“Chen Dao, tell the troops to form up more tightly and get ready to charge.”

“Yes!” Chen Dao replied and very formally saluted me, “Well then… I’ll be leaving then, Lord Shamoke.”

“Just go. Why are you telling this to a humble general?” I said as I shot her a glance and she smiled stiffly before running off. I just hope that she is not that loud when she gives the instructions to the other officers.

“Lord Xu Shu, that’s enough now.”

*Ding*!

Just as I was looking at Chen Dao’s back and feeling worried, Yuan Zhi and Zi Long had begun crossing swords. Zi Long was trying to knock away the gourd with her spear but Yuan Zhi was actually able to parry with ease with her sword in 1 hand and gourd in the other, and even deflected Zi Long’s spear away. Zi Long was utterly surprised by this but continued to attack Yuan Zhi.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*!

3 quick and successive stabs were all blocked by Yuan Zhi, who looked at Zi Long from the side and began drinking again after deflecting Zi Long’s spear away.

“Eh! I apologise in advance, Lord Xu Shu!” Zi Long roared as she pulled back her spear and launched a lightning-quick stab at the gourd.

Fast!

*Da*!

A dull crack could be heard as Zi Long pierced the gourd. Yuan Zhi’s expression did not change and she merely let go of the gourd.

*Pa*!

In the next instant, Zi Long twisted her spear and Yuan Zhi’s gourd shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, there was not a single drop of liquid on the ground.

“She actually finished it!” Zi Long cried out in exasperation while Yuan Zhi swayed about and seemed clearly drunk.
