Chapter 265 Li Feihongs Targe (2/2)
Lu Bu did not tell Li Feihong. Among the enemies far away, Lu Bu could sense three formidable warriors. From his experience, he could tell that Li Feihong's sneak attack by using the gate might fail as these people had sharp instinct. Had Li Feihong used the gate skill to poke his hand at the target, the hand might have been chopped off before Li Feihong could shoot the gun.
'I'm not refraining you because I want to play around. You will be injured if you pick the wrong target.'
.
1 PM.
Lu Bu and Li Feihong could see Yuan Shao's soldiers on the horizon. There seemed to be a commotion within their ranks as Li Feihong could hear their shouting from his monitors.
”What are they doing?” Asked Lu Bu.
”Forming arrays. It seems that their siege towers and trebuchets are stuck on the other side. They can't move them across our moat.”
”I'll be honest with you. This is actually a perfect chance to strike with our cavalries. Why did Jia Xu tell us not to attack?”
”Yuan Shao's men will be using bombs at us. Our horses are vulnerable to explosive, even our Red Hares can't do anything about it. If they throw those bombs in the middle of our charge, all of the horsemen will be thrown off their horses, and that will be their doom.”
”Hmm. Cowardly tactic.”
Lu Bu groaned and patted the neck of his horse, the Red Hare King. To Lu Bu, losing this stud would be like losing a wife. Besides, he had experienced it firsthand in the life-and-death duel with Tong and knew about how deadly an explosion could be.
”But will Gao Shun be fine? He'll dive into those guys head-on.”
”Jia Xu and I told him to ambush the troops and workers on the other side and take down their bridges before we had dispatched our forces. He knows what to do.”
Li Feihong turned around and raised his fist, ”Soldiers, bring the ballistae and trebuchets forward. Aim at the general direction of the enemies and stand by for order! Infantries, march along with the weapons, but don't get too close to them!”
While Li Feihong gave his orders, his eyes locked on one of the floating monitors that only he could see. In the monitor, one person stood out within the panicking troops.
'A general. He seems important.'
Unbeknownst to himself, Li Feihong leaked his killing intent on the person as he was fantasizing how he could kill him with his gate-assassination technique.
Lu Bu noticed the killing intent. Instead of reprimanding Li Feihong, he laughed, ”That's cute, Feihong. If you want someone dead, don't fantasize about how you will kill him. Plan in your head about how you can torture him while he is still alive. Merge the image of several dying people along with it to increase the power. It will be better if you remember the terrified look of your previous victims and merge his face into your memory.”
Li Feihong cringed, 'I'm not a psychopath like you!'
Even though Li Feihong retorted in his mind, his action proved otherwise. He put the face of Ping in his previous life and merged it with the general in the monitor, creating an image that this was his nemesis that deserved to die.
In addition, he added the tormented experiences that he had suffered in Hell with it, turning it to a torture session in his mind.
Chilling air exuded out of Li Feihong's body and his pupils emitted a tinge of red color, the same pupils that Tong used to have last year before he awakened his wings.
Lu Bu's laugh got louder as he liked what he saw. On the other hand, the infantry soldiers of Julu and the cavalries from Jinyang shuddered as they glanced at these two in fear.
”I pray for whoever their target is,” Muttered a random soldier.
.
2 PM.
Lu Bu force stopped 500 meters away from Yuan Shao Army. Like Jia Xu had ordered, they stood there, staring down at the nervous groups of soldiers.
Li Feihong was absentminded as he locked his sight on the general he saw in the monitor without withdrawing back his killing intent.
Lu Bu did not mind it. It was good practice for his subordinate, so he could get used to the bloodshed on the frontline. The stronger the mentality, the better strategist he would be in the future.
While they were standing still, Lu Bu had their ballistae crews practiced shooting and gauging the range. The trebuchet range was 400 meters while the ballistae were 200 to 300 meters.
The practice intimidated Yuan Shao Army further. From Lu Bu's corner of his eyes, some of them pissed their pants already.
.
3 PM.
Li Feihong noticed that the general he wanted to kill escaped from the frontline with shaking legs. He did not know that the person was Gao Lan, his quest target.

************************************
Li Feihong withdrew his killing intent, feeling pity that the guy went away. However, he noticed two other generals who were gazing toward his direction.
The two generals stood out from the rest of the commanders as well. They both were burly and wore unique armor sets, which decorated in gold and jewelry.
”Those two guys are mine, Feihong. Don't bother sending your killing intent at them. They are not like the other guy you targeted. I think they can counter your mental attack with their experiences. I've been locking my intent toward them, but they didn't flinch a slightest.”
Hearing the warning of Lu Bu, Li Feihong shuddered.
'Those people can withstand Fengxian's killing intent? Wait, Tong can do it, too. Are they famous officers of Yuan Shao?'
