Chapter 202 The Absolute Strength of Jinyang Army (2/2)
…
Li Feihong shuddered by Lu Bu's killing intent. His face revealed a bitter smile, and tear welled in his eyes.
”But I did it for the troops. The enemy will be in a panic, and we'll have fewer casualties.”
Zhang Liao patted Li Feihong's shoulder, ”Don't mind it. He'll forget it after a few minutes.”
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao separated to oversee the flanks of their army, leaving the sobbing Li Feihong behind.
As for the otherworlder strategist, he did not follow after the men. Li Feihong had a hundred guard to protect himself, and he could move around with them tagging along.
The battlefield below the cliff was not a place for him to mingle with, so he stayed behind to continue monitoring. As he moved his monitor cameras around, Li Feihong noticed something.
”I spotted a group of deserters. All of you, come with me.”
Li Feihong saw a suspicious group of soldiers escorting an elderly man on the north. They were hiking the mountain into the forest to slip away from the valley battlefield. Since their number was only a few hundred, Li Feihong led the one hundred men north toward the deserters.
…
The Imperial troops attempted to form spear-walls to counter the cavalries. They reformed their ranks and turned toward the west. Archers took out their bows and arrows, getting ready to fire a supporting volley. Everything went well as they were trained to do, but all of a sudden, their legs and hands were petrified.
The monstrous-sized Red Hare and the war god roamed the battlefield unhindered. Everywhere he passed through, militated bodies flew in the air, raining blood and human's innards.
Lu Bu's body soaked with blood. He beheaded an unlucky officer that attempted to challenge him and stole his halberd. With the crescent halberd in his right hand and a stolen polearm in his left hand, Lu Bu cleaved through a path for the ally cavalries behind him.
”Boring! Boring! Boring! Give me a decent opponent!” Roared Lu Bu.
He did not realize it yet. Rather, he did not care. His overwhelming killing intent enveloped the entire battlefield, terrifying the Imperial soldiers to the point that they wet their pants before Lu Bu reached them.
”Are you sure you're professional soldiers!? A brat I've met even fought better than you lots!”
*SWUA*
A dozen severed bodies were sent flying.
”You can't even raise a spear, and you call yourself a man!?”
*SWUA*
Another group flew to the air along with their innards.
”None of you worth a dog shit! Go back and suck yo mama's tits!”
*SWUA*
Spearmen's heads and their broken weapons scattered in the air.
”Why are scum like you wearing decorated armor!? Do you think you can show off in front of me!?”
*SWUA*
A well-dressed officer was cleaved in half from the top of his head.
As he swept through the battlefield, Lu Bu continued swearing and taunting all soldiers, looking for a decent fighter.
However, he was disappointed. He charged alone from the west cliff to the east cliff, which passed through six 5,000-man-battalions, he had yet to see anyone who could last more than one of his strike.
”This is as far as you can go!”
An officer of the Imperial army appeared. He rode a warhorse and was charging at Lu Bu.
The god of war smirked, but his face turned ugly as he read his opponent's skill level. The general was another trash in Lu Bu's eyes.
”Well, at least you have some courage. Give me your name!”
”I'm Gao Ma of Henei, remember when you-*SWUA*.”
The general could not finish his introduction as Lu Bu's halberd severed his head with one strike.
”Gao Ma? More like CAO NI MA*! Your mother is a terrible woman naming you that!”
Finished killing the officer, Lu Bu looked in front of him. He finally realized he reached the other side of the valley.
”Dead end already?”
He turned around and planned to charge into the enemy formation again. Alas, Lu Bu could not continue rampaging anymore.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and their 50,000 heavy horsemen were dominating in the battlefield.
Unlike what Zhang He did, these elite troopers did not allow their horses to ram into the enemy soldier as they utilized their weapons to cut a path for their partners.
Because they treated their horses like they were their children, all of them knew that ramming the horses into the enemies could cause internal injuries to the horses in the long run. As a result, the discipline of avoiding horse ramming was ingrained into their instinct.
Although there were collisions occasionally by accident, the horsemen on the second line immediately replaced the frontline chargers the moment they lost their momentum.
As a consequence of avoiding direct collision of horse-ramming, their charging speed did not slow down.
At first, the 50,000 horsemen charged directly with their gigantic square formation. Hundreds of wedged-shape slowly formed as the sergeants and the two generals began cleaving paths for their men. The charging wedge cut through the square-shaped infantry formations and turned them into unorganized mobs, waiting to be slaughtered or captured.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao did not have to use their [Formation Crusher] tactic as this Imperial Army's morale and performance had already been weakened by Lu Bu's tyrannical killing intent.
”What a dullard.” Lu Bu complained after seeing his subordinates' efficiency.
'Once this is over, I'll visit that coward brat Tong and beat the hell out of him! How dare he using me as he please! I'm not even his subordinate. I'm going to demand my compensation for my provision and for wasting my times! Damn him!'
