Chapter 422 (1/2)

Lu Meng was stunned. If his opponent had been the Xiliang Cavalry, he believed that he had a chance to win even if his soldiers had to fight with one hand because of all the smoke. Unfortunately, he had forgotten about the existence of the Black Flag Army. This was one of Zhang Liao’s tactic. He waved the banner of the Xiliang Cavalry everywhere while hiding the existence of the Black Flag Army. Now Lu Meng had fell for this and neglected the Black Flag Army.

As a result, Lu Meng’s Army had to fight against a superior army with only one hand. The moment the two armies came into contact, Lu Meng’s frontlines were immediately slaughtered.

The Black Flag Army did not have much problems moving forward. There may be a lot of trees initially but when they reached the enemy camp, they found more s.p.a.ce to move. This is because the trees had to be cut down to set up camp. The open s.p.a.ce quickly became a battlefield.

“Attack the enemy camp!” Zhang Liao ordered as he charged in together with the Black Flag Army. Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei were also by his side.

The three powerful generals charged forward at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Some of the soldiers around them heard this order while others did not. However, the order wasn’t needed as they would eventually fight their way towards the enemy camp either way.

The Chu Army found themselves at a disadvantage but were still relentless. Initially they fought with one hand but after hundreds of their brothers were killed, they changed tactics. Now, they held their breaths before clas.h.i.+ng against their enemies and fought with two hands. After fighting, they once again held one hand to their face to breathe. Some of them killed the Black Flag soldiers and then took the cloth from the corpse to cover their face.

“Why are you two following me? Go and kill the enemy!” Zhang Liao said to the other two. The three of them charge closely to each other so a lot of the enemy soldiers escaped death.

“General Zhang Liao. Milord instructed us to protect you!” w.a.n.g Wei and Xu Sheng replied. Liu Mang had ordered the two to protect Zhang Liao with their lives because Zhang Liao was so talented that Liu Mang could not afford to lose him.

“Do I need you to protect me? Get lost! Go kill the enemy!” Zhang Liao replied angrily. While Zhang Liao understood Liu Mang’s good intentions, he also felt like his abilities was being questioned.

“But…” Xu Sheng wanted to say something else but he was stopped by w.a.n.g Wei.

“Right now, I am your General. Do you want to violate military orders?” Zhang Liao coldly asked as he pulled out his short sword from the enemy’s body. He left his long sword behind because he could not ride a horse inside the jungle.

“Understood. Take care, General!” Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei replied.

“Black Flag Army! Charge!” Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei spread out and attacked.

“Xu Sheng. w.a.n.g Wei. I want to see who can reach the enemy camp first. I want to see if the Little Lord’s subordinates could live up to the rumors.” Zhang Liao said again

“Of course I would reach the camp first.” Xu Sheng angrily thought to himself. He did not mind having his abilities questioned by Zhang Liao but he did not like the Black Flag Army and Liu Mang’s abilities being called into question.
