Chapter 202 The Absolute Strength of Jinyang Army (1/2)
Chapter 202 – The Absolute Strength of Jinyang Army
Lu Bu was watching Zhang He maneuvering his troops, rushing into the Imperial Army formations. He grinned and spoke to Gao Shun.
”Isn't that your [Formation Crusher] maneuvering?”
Lu Bu referred to the maneuver that Zhang He displayed. Horsemen's greatest weapon was speed and horse strength. By rushing into the enemy-packed formation consecutively and retreating with the right timing, all formations would collapse into pieces if they had not prepared a proper defensive formation.
Gao Shun nodded and criticized, ”It's a weaker version of mine. His tactic won't work against a proper spear-wall, arrows, or a shielded porcupine formation. They're light cavalries with weak warhorses after all. Besides, there aren't many sergeants who can lead the charge properly. You can see that the front horse was interrupted and collided with enemy soldiers. Then, the entire formation was stopped before they can charge through the enemy lines. A good charger will never allow his horse's chest to collide with the living enemies.”
”There are rooms to improve, but that general is doing well so far,” Zhang Liao approved.
Li Feihong did not join in the commentary. He kept his mouth shut while he closed his eyes. He did not pay attention to the conversation as he was watching the battlefield using his special [Monitors].

…
Li Feihong's skill continued to grow as he focused on raising crops and animals in his private world since he returned to Jinyang.
Typically, raising and harvesting one plant or a stalk of rice net him one EXP point. However, after they seized warhorses and the [Red Hare] horses from Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun took one Red Hare each and left other horses to Li Feihong. He took them into his private world to breed them. He discovered that for each Red Hare foal he got from the breeding, he got 10,000 EXP in return.
As a result, his skill level increased by two from the continuous Red Hare breeding, and the functions of his private world improved. He was able to summon his monitors to the outside world, and he could open two gates at once.
After Li Feihong realized that he was able to open the second gate, he had a new inspiration. It was a new tactic that he could apply in a battlefield, which he had planned to use it today.
Because of the nerf, a new restriction barred Li Feihong from using the assassination gate technique. To use it, he had to rest in the private world for one day, allowing the system to reset the cooldown of the skill overnight. Then, Li Feihong could use open the gate again the next day to kill his target. It would require him another day to reopen the gate and return to the outside world.
In conclusion, Li Feihong needed three days to complete his assassin job and return if he wanted to use it.
However, with two gates, Li Feihong could complete the entire process within a day!
He could open one gate in front of him and the other gate nearby the target he wanted dead. The trick lied within the private world. Instead of connecting the private world and opening the portal in a different location, Li Feihong could attach two exit portals in the private world next to each other. Once the two portal holes connected, a new warp gate would be formed. Li Feihong did not have to move into his private world to perform his assassination technique anymore, and he would be able to teleport from one spot to another spot within a minute.
At this moment, Li Feihong was holding on a pistol, which Tong had given him along with a couple of magazines of bullets. The weapon and the method were ready. All Li Feihong needed to do was to pick a target.
...
Seeing that Li Feihong did not comment on the battle, Lu Bu smacked his back and snapped him out of his trance.
”Pay attention, Feihong!”
The bullied strategist looked at his boss with a wry smile. He was doing his job, and he DID pay full attention to the battlefield. He even located Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and many important officers within the Imperial Army. Li Feihong was in the middle of his decision about who he should kill.
Lu Bu ignored the protesting smile of his subordinate and ordered everyone, ”Anyway, I'm tired of watching. Let's get our men ready.”
The crescent halberd pointed toward the sky, and flag bearers had their signal flags ready.
”All units, trample these insects underfoot!” Commanded with his arrogant tone, Lu Bu and his Red Hare rushed down the slope without waiting for his soldiers.
The 50,000 cavalries, with geared riders and horses, followed after their grand commander. The horse hooves resonated and created a rumbling sound of an earthquake. The ground shook by the massive weight of the riders and the horses, scaring birds and small creatures nearby.
Lu Bu reached the nearest enemy battalion first. The crescent halberd swung down, severing five shocked Imperial soldiers in one swing. His personal polearm did not stop moving. Lu Bu and his crescent halberd became a meat grinder, mowing down the front and the sides of his horse, killing any unfortunate soldiers who stood in his way.
The god of war darted his eyes around, looking for a worthy opponent to fight. Then, he spotted Feng Yue, the grand commander of Wang Kuang Army, who stood out from the rest.
”Another ambush! Get ready! Spear-*BANG*”
The general collapsed before he finished his order because of the assassination technique of Li Feihong.
Lu Bu also noticed the sorcery that his subordinate displayed. He shouted, ”FEIHONG, YOU PRICK! DON'T YOU DARE STEALING MY PREY AGAIN!! IF I SEE IT AGAIN, I'LL MAKE YOU MY PERMANENT SPAR PARTNER UNTIL YOU ARE CRIPPLED!!”
