Chapter 143 - Sun Ce Makes His Move (3)
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
“SU FEI, SINCE YOU ARE ALREADY HERE, LEAVE YOUR HEAD WITH ME!!!” Jiang Qin exclaimed then he licked his b.l.o.o.d.y long sword, his killing intent rising exponentially.
“GENERAL, QUICK, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!! I WILL STALL HIM!!!” The major quickly a.s.sembled his most elite troops in front of Su Fei. Sun Ce's army already occupied most of the naval HQ and if Jiang Qin halted him now, then Su Fei won't be able to escape.
Su Fei wasn’t a fresh general, so he quickly climbed up a warhorse to leave the battlefield.
“SHAAA!!!!” The major bellowed and quickly moved toward Jiang Qin. Their task is to stall Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin did not look at this major, but locked his sight toward Su Fei and screamed “SU FEI, LEAVE YOUR HEAD HERE!!!!” Jiang Qin was already in pursuit, but was stalled by the major.
“Get out of my face!!!” Jiang Qin then slashed the major's head.
When Gan Ning was still Su Fei's lieutenant general, Jiang Qin was unable to take on Gan Ning alone. Only with the help of Zhou Tai were both of them able cope with Gan Ning. Now Gan Ning was no longer Su Fei's subordinate due to Liu Mang's recommendation, so they both commanded their own division.
Right now his major is just a nameless general and definitely not Jiang Qin's match. Although Jiang Qin's strength is not as strong as Zhou Tai, he is quite strong by his own rights. Recently he is able to duel with Zhang Liao during the defense of Shucheng County when he was dispatched there, but was able to escape before Zhang Liao dealt the final blow. He recently was recalled due to Wu clan's military offense and due to Zhou Tai's death.
“DANG!!!!” Two long sword met in the air. The major's strength is only second-cla.s.s and now is struggling to withstand Jiang Qin's a.s.sault, his arm's bone was almost dislocated but he still continued his a.s.sault.
“DIE NOW!!!!” Jiang Qin screamed. Jiang Qin become angrier because Su Fei was already farther and farther away. But he truly did not realize that his long sword was already grabbed by the major.
This gesture is not inviting death, but the major is holding Jiang Qin's long sword in order to do mortal blow against Jiang Qin, so now he is returning a slash toward Jiang Qin.
“Pus.h.i.+!!!” Blood is splas.h.i.+ng, but it was only a superficial blow. The major did not succeed in delivering a mortal blow to Jiang Qin as Jiang Qin immediately released the grip of his long sword in order to choke the major.
“Ack, no, this is impossible!!!” The major really cannot believe that his larynx bone was being crushed by bare-hands. From swordfight to bare-hands, this kind of move, only an expert can do.
“ACKKKK!!!!” The major died with disbelief on face. Su Fei's other soldiers were cut down one by one by Jiang Qin's own soldiers. Although Jiang Qin managed to kill the major, he managed to stall Jiang Qin as Su Fei's distance was now at least 100 steps.
“SU FEI, YOU SHALL NOT LEAVE!!!” Jiang Qin quickly brandished his long bow and locked on Su Fei. Jiang Qin's archery is only middle cla.s.s, but he still had his brute strength. Adding the anger caused by Zhou Tai's death, this made his strength quadruple.
“Whiz!!!” An arrow full of revenge was flying toward Su Fei.
“Neigh!!!” The arrow did not hit Su Fei but it hit the leg of his warhorse. The warhorse which was already speeding away was suddenly stumbled by this arrow and now started falling down.
Su Fei quickly jumped to one side in order not to be thrown away by the warhorse.
This time Jiang Qin truly goes all out. When Su Fei sees his fallen warhorse with a bloodied leg, he forces a smile and lamented thought “This time, I will really die here!!!”
His major died, his warhorse had already fallen and his soldiers are finished, only Su Fei remained.
Su Fei quickly shook his head and stood up. He unsheathed his long sword and said with full determination “Since I am going to die here, might as well take some of Jiang Qin's troops to accompany me!!!” Su Fei was very relaxed because he already accepted death. This battle was already too hard from the start. Although he managed to defend for a while, in the end he lost and now he is in a bad situation with no hope to escape, so might as well fight to the end.
“SHA, SHA, SHA!!!” Jiang Qin's troops already reached Su Fei's location. 2-3 Jiang Qin's own elites started their a.s.sault toward Su Fei, they must kill this enemy for their general. As long as they can kill this enemy, they will get promotion and merit. Moreover, they knew this Su Fei, when fighting with Jiangxia’s navy had concluded that this person is only a scholar who is able to command and not to fight. He would definitely not be strong in wushu.
With a merit this easy, they ran much more quickly. If others saw that they had obtained Su Fei's head, all of Jiang Qin's troops will be green with envy.
