Chapter 101 – Jiangxia’s Downfall (2)

Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto

Jiangxia's army had been charging the entire, smooth without any resistance; while Lu Bu’s army had been retreating. It is as if Xu Zhi had become Jiangxia's army’s beacon, sending Lu Bu’s army everywhere to chaos.

“Lu Bu army is defeated and scattered?!” Su Fei who currently standing on the big wars.h.i.+p is surveying entirety of Huangzhou city's battlefield. “Does eldest son She really have the ability?!” Su Fei is truly surprised. When he was under Huang Zhong’s command, he was ordered to stay on the defense, but when this Eldest Son She ordered to go on the offence, he was unexpectedly able to defeat and scatter Lu Bu’s army. It is truly a blessing for us.

”Pah, defeated and scattered, REALLY?!” The Silk-clothed man said it with disdain tone. “That man is the true idiot!!!”

“Xingba, watch your language!” Huang She really looks down on Gan Ning. How could Gan Ning have a high opinion of Huang She? Being looked down all the time, didn't listen to others opinions even if it was for their own benefit; it can be said that Huang She and Gan Ning are un-reconcilable. “Hey, if Eldest son She won against Lu Bu’s army, it can give us both high merit!”

Huang She who will win this war, will definitely rewarded heavily by Huang Zu. And if according to merit, Su Fei and co, will also have big merits.

“Win?! Big bro, why have you also become like that idiot?!” What Gan Ning wanted to say was that Su Fei did not have any experience, but he quickly change his words.

“Eh?!” Su Fei’s brow wrinkled. Gan Ning can be said as the second person that Su Fei really admires. The first one is Huang Zhong. Even though Gan Ning cannot match Old General Huang’s strength, Gan Ning has several points that made him on par with Huang Zhong. Moreover, he had his naval units and the ability to train naval units. On that aspect, Huang Zhong cannot hope to match him.

So, Su Fei did not mind that Gan Ning insulted him, because Gan Ning certainly had a big reason for that.

“Hmm, why you do you say so?!” Su Fei inquired Gan Ning.

“Okay, big bro. You listen to me!” The reason that Gan Ning called Su Fei, “Big Bro” was not only because Su Fei was much older than him, but also because Su Fei can tolerate his own blunt and rude remarks.

Gan Ning spoke his a.n.a.lysis “Lu Bu’s army has 3 divisions that serve as its main force! Those divisions are Bing Province Heavy Cavalry, Formation Breaker and Urban Army!”

“But, can you find them now? All of those divisions disappeared! We can leave out the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry, because Huangzhou city's wetland is littered with rivers they are unable to fight, but the other two?

They are infantries, and they should be able to fight! But, all of them have currently disappeared! Leaving only one possibility!” Said Gan Ning.

“Are you saying that?!” Su Fei also thought about that possibility.

“Yep, they are blocking that idiot’s escape routes!” Said Gan Ning impolitely. “As for Lu Bu's army retreating and being scattered that big bro just said, it is true that Lu Bu's army is retreating, but did you actually see any of them dropped the banner? I saw n.o.body drop the banner!”

Su Fei had also seen that. Although Lu Bu’s army was repelled during their retreat, n.o.body threw down their banner.

The banner is the beacon of the army, especially a division’s banner. It represents who is the commander-in-chief. Other banners were also used as a representative division commander.

Sometimes, the commander-in-chief had not died but the banner has been dropped, that means the army has been defeated.

However, the banner has not been dropped but Lu Bu’s army is retreating in a very organized formation, what does this represent?!

It represented that they have not been defeated, but they are luring the enemy.

“They are going to that side?!” Su Fei trying to a.s.sess main army’s pursuit route. That direction is not Huangzhou city's border, it is not even Jiangxia’s border.

It is no longer littered with rivers everywhere, and also the land is hard and the soil is dry, and because there is no river, navy units cannot pa.s.s anymore.

“Oh no, it is the end!!!” Su Fei stood up startled. “Messenger, messenger!!! QUICK, send an emergency message to Eldest son She. Inform him to retreat, this is the enemy’s stratagem!”

“It is too late!” Gan Ning shook his head. By the time the messenger got off the s.h.i.+p, unto land; they might be destroyed by the time messenger got there.

On the battlefield, all of Jiangxia's army troops is oozing with bloodl.u.s.t. In front of them is a merit army. If they kill one person, their merit increase by one more point. They can bestow t.i.tles on their wife’s and their posts in government will be inherited by their child. They can win promotion and riches by killing them.

Lu Bu also inside his own army in order to lure Jiangxia's army. After 50% of Jiangxia's army already out of Huangzhou’s border, Lu Bu suddenly turn back his horse and exclaimed “Prepare to close the net!”

“Un!” Chen Gong nodded and then he waved his hand to signal the messenger. Then the messenger pulled out a large horn and blew a signal sound.

“Horn?!” Huang She looked at Lu Bu’s army which is gradually a.s.sembling their army and sneered “Now, you want to counter attack? It is too late!”

“Horn? Are they preparing to kill us?!” Xu Zhi’s spear also kept his a.s.sault, making it all b.l.o.o.d.y. That's the blood from Lu Bu's soldiers.

“Horn?!” Zang Ba, who had heard the sound, suddenly stopped his warhorse.

“Hehehe, why are you not continuing to run?! Are you already forfeiting your life?!” Said Xu Zhi while pointing his spear toward Zang Ba.
