Free Web NovelChapter 128: Gift of the Qinggang Sword
"Damn!"
"What on earth is this..."
The player warriors in the Xiliang camp were directly stunned by Zhao Yun’s amazing move.
Xu Rong frowned, and the Xiliang Dawan horses under him were also startled.
"General! This white-robed young general is really powerful! Shouldn’t we retreat?!" said the deputy general anxiously.
Xu Rong rebuked, "What are you afraid of?!"
"The enemy has only one person, while we have thousands of soldiers. Can’t we defeat this one general?!"
"All troops, follow my command, charge with me!!!"
As soon as the words fell,
A series of high-pitched and fierce fighting sounds came from the distant mountain forest.
The soldiers of the Xiliang immediately stopped their steps, staring blankly at the soldiers pouring in from all directions!
They all held green bronze giant hammers and wore yellow armor.
They were none other than the second-tier special troops of Long Chen - the Yellow Turban Warriors!
Three thousand warriors had gathered here, tall and burly, with a formidable momentum like that of wild tigers in the mountains.
Without any hesitation, they all wielded their mighty hammers and smashed them on the bodies of the Xiliang soldiers, turning them into minced meat.
An unexpected counter-encirclement, a counter-ambush.
Which led to a bleak end for Xu Rong’s troops, who had originally planned to ambush successfully.
"Hahaha! Rebel generals! You have fallen into the trap of my lord!"
A rough and hearty roar resounded like thunder in the ears of the Xiliang soldiers.
Xu Rong fled while pondering who their lord might be, to have such a thorough understanding of the strategist’s tactics.
What shocked him the most was that the opponent could reverse the situation with just one army...
Alas...
The trend of decline had already gathered in the entire army, and Xu Rong had no choice but to lead the remnants of his defeated soldiers to flee.
But before leaving, he saw the enemy commander’s war flag, which was inscribed with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, with the word "Dragon"!
Could it be General Long Chen, one of the nineteen generals of the Ten Towns?
It seems that the rumors are true after all. This child is indeed a talented military strategist...
Seeing Xu Rong leading his defeated troops away, Cao Mengde, lying on the ground, finally sat up.
He had just witnessed an earth-shattering scene, so when he saw the white-robed general approaching, he quickly bowed and said:
"Thank you, General, for saving my life just now! I am unable to repay your kindness!"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and pointed in another direction, saying:
"I am just a general under my lord’s command. The one who saved you is my lord!"
Cao Cao asked in surprise, "Who is your lord?"
"Could it be the Son of Heaven?"
Otherwise, how could he save him from certain death and even rout Xu Rong’s ambush.
Suddenly,
A familiar voice brushed past his ears like a gentle breeze.
"Hahaha, Mengde brother, you are really overestimating me."
Cao Cao turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.
Long Chen looked at his haggard and embarrassed appearance, and greeted him with a cupped fist:
"Mengde brother, I hope you’re well!"
"It’s you! Jue Ming brother!!" Cao Cao’s tone rose by eight degrees.
He never expected that it would be Long Chen, who had no relationship with him, who came to save him. He had thought of Zhang Yang, with whom he had a good relationship, and even the ally Yuan Shao, but he had never thought of Long Chen.
But no matter what,
Today, his life was saved by Long Chen. As the saying goes, a life-saving favor is like giving life anew!
This favor is significant!!
Immediately,
Cao Cao clasped his fists towards Long Chen and said, "The favor of saving my life, Mengde brother, is engraved in my heart..."
"Ding! Due to your saving of Cao Cao’s life, Cao Cao’s favorability towards you has increased to 67."
"Ding! Due to Cao Cao’s high favorability towards you, a special event is triggered."
Hmm, a special event?!
What kind of event is this?
Could it be that Lady Cao is going to give me a married woman?
Long Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard the metallic sound in his mind.
Then, rubbing his hands, he looked at Cao Cao with a gleam in his eyes.
Cao Cao was very grateful for Long Chen’s life-saving favor and didn’t hide it.
He took out a sword from the saddlebag of the dead warhorse.
The sword emitted a dark cyan light, resembling a divine object from the heavens.
With a hint of reluctance, Cao Cao handed the sword to Long Chen and said:
"Jue Ming, you saved my life today, and I cannot let it go unnoticed."
"This sword is called Qinggang, and it is as famous as my other sword, Yitian. I’m giving it to you today!"
"Oh, this!" Long Chen was pleasantly surprised.
He naturally knew what this Qinggang sword represented. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was a peerless divine weapon! He didn’t expect it to fall into his hands under such coincidental circumstances today.
"In that case, thank you, Mengde!"
Long Chen thanked him with a cupped fist.
Then he took the Qinggang sword and checked its attributes panel.
[Qinggang Sword]: The sword of a hero! Symbolizing bravery!
[Quality]: Orange Epic
[Attributes]: After wearing, Strength +3
[Special Effect]: Gang Qi: Can unleash the sword energy of Qinggang during use, extremely sharp, damage rate +20%
"A great sword! A great sword!"
After chatting with Cao Cao for a few more moments, he quickly urged his horse and left.
Tonight, saving Cao Cao was just a matter of convenience for him. What he really cared about was the thousands of carts of gold and silver treasures belonging to Dong Zhuo.
However, he also knew that he couldn’t defeat Lu Bu, the iron cavalry of the Xiliang, and the wolf cavalry of the Bingzhou right now. His intention in passing by was just to test the waters and see if there was any opportunity to seize.
Leading three thousand light cavalry, accompanied by generals Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, both five-star god-level generals, Long Chen felt quite secure. He had decided: if they couldn’t win, they would run!
After marching for about a few hundred miles, Long Chen and the others finally saw the vast and dense crowd not far away.
They were the residents of Luoyang, marching along the winding road.
Even though they were far apart, Long Chen could still feel the bleakness emanating from afar.
The sense of despair for their future lives...
"My lord! Is there any chance to save them!?" Zhao Yun clenched his fists tightly, his face pale.
Seeing these people being chased by the cruel soldiers of the Xiliang like pigs and sheep, Zhao Yun’s heart... was almost cold.
Although Long Chen was also in pain, he knew that if he really did so, all his soldiers would probably lose their lives here. freewёbnoνel.com
At the moment,
Everything in "Great Lord" was so real, making Long Chen once again feel the powerlessness of the common people living in such a desolate land in the chaotic world without any means of self-defense...
"Report!" freeweɓnøvel.com
A scout came running.
"Reporting to my lord, a large number of carts have been found fifty miles northwest. The items stored in the carts are suspected to be valuable goods."
Long Chen nodded and waved his hand to let him go.
He already had a plan in mind.
With a turn of his starry eyes, he instructed Zhao Yun, "Zilong! Later, you lead two thousand light cavalry to launch a detailed attack from the northeast direction!
Remember! Do not linger in battle!
Your task is only to draw away the main forces!"
Zhao Yun saluted and accepted the order.
Immediately after,
Long Chen shouted to Xu Chu beside him, "Zhongkang, let’s go!"
"Okay! My lord!"
Xu Chu lifted his big knife and mounted his warhorse to follow Long Chen.
Since he had given two thousand troops to Zhao Yun, he now only had a thousand light cavalry left.
But that didn’t matter.
