Free Web NovelChapter 218: Attack the Yellow Dragon Directly
His black pupil suddenly became eerie, and within those dark eyes, three blood-red lotus flowers bloomed.
The Sharingan, the divine-level skill of his Hell Ghost Eye, is capable of continuous evolution.
This is also the origin of the name Hell Ghost Eye.
The Sharingan possesses extremely powerful insight abilities, capable of identifying weaknesses among enemy forces amidst thousands of troops, as well as strengths within one’s own army, pinpointing breakthrough points.
Moreover, the Sharingan also has certain genjutsu effects, capable of trapping targets in illusions created by the user.
The intensity of its effects depends on the strategist values of both the user and the target.
Suddenly,
through the dark and hollow triple-tomoe eyes, Hell Ghost Eye observed that Long Chen’s cavalry had already suffered considerable losses.
Coupled with being immersed in his own samurai army, this reduced the cavalry’s impact force and diminished their effectiveness.
Immediately, Hell Ghost Eye continuously guided his army through black flags to attack and disrupt Long Chen’s forces from different angles and directions.
The results were immediate.
Especially his Shadow Samurai Legion, like phantoms on the battlefield, suddenly emerged from places one would never have expected.
A fatal blow!
Causing significant damage to Long Chen’s second-tier troops.
Seeing the situation slightly reversed now, Long Chen’s mind raced.
With his left hand, he fiercely stabbed forward into the empty air with the Qinggang Sword.
The audience was puzzled,
"What’s this? There’s no one in front. Is he trying to scare them?"
"He’s bluffing! Bluffing!!"
Yet, the next moment,
from the previously empty space, a Shadow Samurai Centurion suddenly emerged.
He had anticipated the position where Long Chen would appear next, preparing an ambush on the path he must traverse.
Unexpectedly, Long Chen had anticipated his anticipation.
At the critical moment, he wielded the Qinggang Sword and fiercely stabbed, a golden dragon rushing out from the sword.
Roar!!
The roar shook the heavens and earth, directly piercing through the chest of the Shadow Samurai Centurion.
Blood splattered, and an incredulous expression filled the eyes of the Shadow Samurai Centurion.
Previously, he had used sneak attacks to kill nearly a hundred Tiger and Leopard soldiers.
While on the Imperial City walls, he had even slain several generals under "Emperor’s Sword".
Never did he expect to be fatally struck by Long Chen in this battle!
"Wow, Long’s team is amazing! I’d give this move 99 points, deducting one point so he doesn’t get too proud!"
"This is what you call a move, everyone here understands it, right?!"
Praises rained down in torrents.
Long Chen was unaware of this; he only knew that to survive and escape, he must fight desperately now.
The reason he was able to cause trouble for the Sakura Kingdom’s army just now was because Long Chen seized the perfect opportunity, catching them off guard.
However, Hell Ghost Eye gradually withdrew the soldiers from the city walls, surrounding Long Chen’s army.
Up to this point, the Sakura Kingdom’s army had dwindled from its original 150,000 to 100,000.
They lost over 30,000 in the siege. freewёbnoνel.com
Another 20,000 were lost due to the sudden attack by Long Chen’s army.
While Long Chen had only 10,000 cavalry.
Now it was a 1:10 ratio, indicating the immense pressure Long Chen faced.
Moreover, the Sakura Kingdom’s samurai were formidable, including the frenzy of Minamoto Musashi and Hattori Hanzo’s slaughter.
"My lord, enemy forces are charging again on the left wing, causing great trouble for our Tiger and Leopard soldiers."
"The speed of our horses has slowed down now."
After Zhao Yun skewered dozens of heads with a spear, he said to Long Chen.
"Hmph! Weren’t they charging from both left and right wings? We’ll break through from the left wing now!"
Long Chen shouted, the Ice Dragon King breathed out frost at minus thirty degrees, freezing hundreds of people in front.
Long Chen fired another lightning spear, harvesting heads.
The reason he chose to break through from the left wing was also strategic.
At this point, Long Chen’s army had only four directions to break through: front, back, left, and right.
If they continued to charge forward, they would be deeply entrenched in the enemy’s sea of people.
If they turned back, the process of turning would slow down the speed of the war horses.
Without the speed of war horses, they were just like infantry and couldn’t leverage the advantages of cavalry.
Therefore, Long Chen’s only viable directions were left and right.
Comparatively, although there were more soldiers on the left wing, their unit strength was weaker than that on the right wing.
This was also why Long Chen chose to break through from the left wing.
"Feng Xian, we can break through now, hurry over to me."
Long Chen shouted with his spear held high, and the Ice Dragon King’s massive body suddenly rose, instantly killing many Sakura Samurai.
Now that the mission to rescue the Imperial City was complete, he no longer needed to endanger his army.
Lu Bu, leading his five thousand cavalry from Bingzhou, was already going crazy amidst the enemy troops.
His eyes were completely red, and his Fang Tian painted halberd was covered in blood.
Upon hearing Long Chen’s call, Lu Bu immediately led his wolf cavalry towards Long Chen.
The howls of wolves echoed through the army, with ferocious wolves shooting wind blades from their mouths to slay enemies, or using their sharp teeth and mouths to bite down and kill anyone blocking their path.
Their ferocity was extreme, embodying a kind of violent aesthetic.
Seeing Long Chen’s attempt to escape, Hell Ghost Eye ordered his subordinates:
"Surround them all and don’t let them escape!" (in Sakura language)
Upon hearing this command, the other Sakura generals bowed deeply at ninety degrees, respectfully saying, "Hai!"
Then they surged forward to attack.
Several of Long Chen’s leading generals unleashed their killer moves simultaneously, causing extraordinary phenomena that shook heaven and earth.
The bodies in their path had already piled up like small hills, blood flowing like a stream.
"My lord, should we return to Longcheng now?" Zhao Yun asked.
Long Chen mysteriously shook his head, pointing his spear towards the Sakura Kingdom’s stationed city to the east.
In a stern tone, he replied:
"We’re not going back to Longcheng. We’re going straight to Huanglong!!!"
After his voice echoed out, the temperature around them dropped several degrees.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was astonished, while Lu Bu burst into laughter, respectfully saying:
"My lord, your courage is unparalleled under heaven!"
"I am willing to follow you and exterminate these bandits of the Wa!!!"
Lu Bu was right; Long Chen’s courage was indeed unparalleled, daring to attempt to capture the heavily defended Sakura Kingdom’s city with less than ten thousand cavalry.
"My lord, are we really going to attack the Sakura Kingdom’s city? Even if we manage to capture it, there won’t be enough men to defend it!" Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, expressing his doubts respectfully.
Long Chen looked at him approvingly and explained:
"Zilong, I just said we’re going straight to Huanglong. I didn’t say we must capture their city!"
