Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101: Night Raid! Rush to the Rescue!

This time, the main purpose was to reinforce Sun Jian. Light cavalry had the fastest speed and the greatest maneuverability, so Long Chen brought only five thousand light cavalry, which was also his only cavalry force. After all, it wasn’t easy to acquire warhorses!

In the future, Long Chen intended to transform these thousands of light cavalry into second-tier troops - Tiger Elite Soldiers! Seizing this opportunity allowed his cavalry to witness the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, learn from their strengths, and temper themselves.

Due to the lack of food in Sun Jian’s army, chaos erupted within. The infiltrators from Xiliang who had joined Sun Jian’s army hurriedly reported the situation to Sisui Pass.

Upon hearing the news, Li Su rubbed his beard and laughed heartily, "Heaven helps us too!"

He then devised a plan for Huang Xu, saying, "General, I have a good plan to defeat Sun Jian!"

Huaxiong, who was at a loss, eagerly asked, "What’s the plan? Speak quickly!"

Since the last time, he had suffered a significant defeat by not heeding the advice of his subordinate, an outsider. This time, he decided to listen to what this fellow, who was also from Xiliang and had a close relationship with him under Dong Zhuo, had to say. He was much more reliable than the other alien allies!

Li Su bowed and said, "General, Sun Jian’s army has been short of food for many days, providing us with an excellent opportunity to break the thief!"

"Tonight, I will lead a force through the small path beneath the pass, attacking Sun Jian’s rear camp. You can strike the front camp, and we can capture Sun Jian alive."

Huaxiong nodded in agreement and immediately ordered the army of Xiliang troops and allied alien forces to have a hearty meal.

These allied alien forces had varying levels of strength, but Huaxiong only intended to use them as cannon fodder to absorb damage.

On this clear and windy night, they descended from Sisui Pass under the cover of pitch-black darkness.

It was the perfect time for a night raid.

By the time Huaxiong and his troops arrived at Sun Jian’s camp, it was already midnight.

The soldiers from Changsha were already asleep, and even the guards outside the camp were leaning against the palisade, exhausted.

Lacking vitality, they had no strength left.

Having been without supplies for several days, these soldiers were fortunate not to have starved to death. They certainly did not have the energy to defend the camp.

Upon seeing this, Huaxiong and Li Su were overjoyed, and they charged forward.

"Generals and soldiers, follow me in the charge!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry charged forward at an incredible speed. The heavy hooves of their war horses pounded the ground, lifting thick clumps of soil.

It sounded like thunder rumbling through the sky.

Inside the camp, the Changsha army, upon hearing this sound, felt a chill in their hearts!

Sun Jian hastily dressed and mounted his horse, coincidentally encountering Huaxiong.

Huaxiong burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Sun Jian, your time has come today!"

Sun Jian remained silent and swung the Ancient Runic Blade forward.

Crackling sounds echoed as their horses clashed. After a few brief exchanges, Li Su led a large force to arrive.

With a malicious smile, Li Su waved his black feather fan, and a black mist merged into the soldiers behind Sun Jian.

In an instant, thousands of poisonous scorpions, centipedes, snakes, and toads carrying potent toxins leaped into the armor of the Changsha soldiers. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

In less than a moment, the Changsha army resounded with miserable screams. Some soldiers had pus-filled blisters on their faces, while others had lips turning purple and black... All were victims of severe poisoning.

Sun Jian’s army was thrown into chaos.

Generals fought each other, and only Jiangdong’s four generals, with the last one, Zu Mao, managed to break through and escape.

Behind them, Huaxiong, carrying the tiger-headed long knife, pursued rapidly.

"Sun Jian, surrender quickly!" shouted Huaxiong, "If you surrender, I can recommend you to the Prime Minister and have you appointed as an official!" ƒrēewebnovel.com

Sun Jian cursed loudly, "You rebels! Even if I am pierced by a thousand arrows, I will not join your band of thieves!"

Huaxiong laughed ominously, "Respecting wine is not as good as respecting punishment with wine! I will send you to meet Yama soon!"

Flames of blade energy emanated from his tiger-headed long knife, and the Changsha soldiers behind Sun Jian grew fewer and fewer.

"Blades and blood!" Huaxiong roared. A blood-colored light emanated from his tiger-headed long knife, slashing through Sun Jian’s armor and entering his body.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Sun Jian slumped on his horse, enduring the turmoil within his body while tightly gripping the reins.

"Hahaha! Sun Jian, you will undoubtedly die today!" Huaxiong laughed loudly, then ordered his soldiers to chase.

Sun Jian’s rear was pursued by nearly five to six thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, while he himself was wounded by Huaxiong’s powerful move.

Sun Jian couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair. He lamented, "Could it be that I, the mighty Jiangdong Tiger, will perish here?!"

"I refuse to accept it! If it weren’t for Yuan Shu, that old traitor, withholding military supplies, my army wouldn’t be in such dire straits!"

Huaxiong’s army was getting closer!

Just when Sun Jian’s soldiers were desperate, a thunder spear with a terrifying blue-purple light suddenly entered the scene.

"Ding! Killed 15 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Experience +3650."

Long Chen activated the Thunder Spear skill, a strategic skill with a large AoE.

Then, he grasped the Azure Horn Spear and activated the S-rank White Tiger Spear Technique within the Xiliang Iron Cavalry ranks, causing considerable casualties and forcing them to halt.

"Ding! Killed 2 ordinary Xiliang soldiers, Experience +210."

"Ding! Killed..."

Well... the experience gained for killing these ordinary soldiers is a bit low!

Long Chen complained, expressing his disdain for these ordinary soldiers, and specifically targeted the elite ones for slaughter.

On Long Chen’s right, Zhou Tai closely followed him, wielding an orange epic defense shield - the Dark Armor Shield. It protected Long Chen, forming an orange armor.

On both sides of the armor were a Black Tortoise and a Spirit Snake, remarkably representing the divine beast Xuanwu guarding Long Chen.

Zhou Tai vowed to stay by Long Chen’s side, helping him withstand the ferocious damage from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, acting as a meat shield.

For a while, those ferocious and aggressive Xiliang soldiers couldn’t break through the shield at Long Chen’s side.

Spears kept shooting out.

"Ding! Damage -1."

"Ding! Damage -1."

"What the hell is this! I’m a level 36 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry Centurion!"

A cavalryman shouted. He was originally a player from the alien faction but joined the Xiliang camp after witnessing the might of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Originally confident in his attack power, he lost all confidence upon encountering Long Chen.
