Chapter 266 Mental Attacks of Elite Generals (1/2)
Chapter 266 – Mental Attacks of Elite Generals
Idly riding a horse or standing still was still a tiring job. All soldiers on both sides sweat under the spring sunlight. The weather was perfect for an outing, but it was a torture to all men on the battlefield.
The wait and the suspense of their situation exhausted their mind. Even though all soldiers had not contributed anything to the killing yet, the battle had already started without their realization.
Lu Bu used his mental strength and his killing intent to pressure Yuan Shao's soldiers.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou also did the same as they were also targeting Lu Bu's soldiers.
Li Feihong, however, got used to Lu Bu's domineering mental attack. He did not feel anything from Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
As he did not have to send out his mental attack, nor did he know how to use it, Li Feihong continued to observe all monitors in front of him as if he was watching a show on TV.
'I wish I have a smoke. I would have been nice to have something in my mouth.'
Li Feihong missed his cigarettes in the previous world. He tried to explore the system shop for a laugh, but the system denied his access, claiming the dimension was unstable again.
'Once this war is over, I'll research about tobacco and weeds. Maybe I'll plant some in my farm world … Dammit, my thought turns into a junkie's.'
If a soldier from Lu Bu army knew about what Li Feihong was thinking about, they would have retorted ”We're dying from the killing intent pressure, but you're chilling thinking of a smoke?”
It did not take long for the stalemate to shift as Li Feihong noticed a new army approaching from the north. Gao Shun and his 3,000 armored horsemen had crossed the moat, and they were free to attack the workers and the reserve troops of Yan Liang and co.'s forces from behind.
”They're here. Boss, let's give them a push to distract the main army.”
…
…
Yan Liang's face change. He turned toward the north as he felt something was amiss even though nobody had informed him about any change.
”What's wrong, Liang?” Asked Wen Chou.
”Omen. Bad luck is coming from the north. I'm taking a few troops back to the other side.”
Had it been other generals, they would have thought that Yan Liang was pulling their legs.
However, Wen Chou understood Yan Liang as if they were brothers with the same mother. He knew why Yan Liang acted that way.
”If you say so, I'll trust your guts.”
Wen Chou was a general who relied on his logic and stratagems. On the contrary, Yan Liang succeeded in his career as a general because he relied on his instinct. He could often sense an omen that they could have suffered a significant loss.
As long as he was responsible with a battalion with over 5,000 men, he could get this sixth-sense feeling.
There were times that his sense did not work, for example, when he and Wen Chou were tricked and captured by Tong after the battle of Anping was over. Yan Liang also suffered defeat many times in his career, but those were the times when he led small task forces.
In other words, Yan Liang's sixth sense only worked on a large scale battlefield. If he commanded small troops, he would not sense anything.
All heavy cavalries on Wen Chou's side rushed back to the workers' side and formed an array toward the north.
Yan Liang rode to the front and bellowed, ”Set up the towers behind our back. Get archers on the towers, we'll be under attack in a few minutes! Also, call Gao Lan! Get that chicken over here!”
...
Lu Bu frowned. At the same time, Li Feihong's face paled.
”Boss!”
”I know. I can sense the enemies movements. One of those scums is the same type as mine. He knew about Gao Shun! Feihong, give me your tactic.”
”Okay! All their horsemen were rushing back, leaving only infantries with repeating crossbows and explosive bombs. We'll push our infantries and our range weaponry forward until they get into the range!”
”Good! Footmen, trebuchets units, ballistae units, forward!”
*RUMBLE*
Hundreds of siege weapons were being pushed forward as Julu infantries stomped their feet as they marched.
Li Feihong immediately reported the situation to Jia Xu in the clan chat.
”Report! The ambush plan has been discovered. Yuan Shao Army is moving to intercept Gao Shun!”
Jia Xu replied, ”Move Lu Bu forward but use the range attack on their remaining troops. Don't charge into their formation yet. Also, I want you to assassinate one of their generals. It doesn't have to be the leading general, a 1000-man commander is fine.”
”Roger!”
”Can I deploy my troops to help them?” Asked Zhang Liao.
”No, you will station inside the fort for the time being. If you move, the entire Yuan Shao 200,000 men will move. That Tian Feng will never let go of this chance when you are out of the fortress.”
”I see. I'll stay here then.”
