Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 223: Fight against the Yue Male Army!

Another piece of good news came: Strategist Guo Jia, with forty thousand troops, has repelled the Vietnamese Kingdom outside the city gates.

It’s worth noting that this time, Vietnam made a significant effort, with three lords coming forth, totaling an army of fifteen thousand.

Unlike the strenuous defense against the "Emperor’s Sword," Guo Jia handled the defense with ease.

Moreover, he took the opportunity to capture a large portion of the Vietnamese army, causing them a loss of over thirty thousand troops, which pained them greatly.

"My lord, currently Vietnam is planning to retreat, right after you captured Hell Ghost City of Sakura Country," said Guo Jia, smiling with his feather fan in hand.

Seated at the head, Long Chen supported himself on the armrests, rhythmically tapping his index finger on them.

Tap, tap, tap...

"I see... But... Does Vietnam think of us too lightly? Do they really think we’re easy to bully?"

"Want to come, then come; want to leave, then leave!?"

Guo Jia bowed his hand: "If so, then... let’s keep them all here!"

When he uttered the last word, Guo Jia suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze deep as an unfathomable pool of water.

"Fengxiao, do you have any good strategies?!"

Long Chen leaned forward.

He knew Guo Jia wasn’t an ordinary lamp; his mind was full of bad ideas.

Guo Jia bowed: "My lord, actually, this matter is simple. I’ve already helped you complete most of this plan; you just need to finish it off."

Seeing Long Chen’s puzzled look, he continued, "The Vietnamese army is relatively weak compared to ours, and their soldiers lack courage and combat effectiveness."

"Although our army could severely cripple them earlier, in order to completely annihilate them in the future, we continuously showed them our weakness."

"This created an illusion in their minds that our army is no match for them, and their arrogance has grown."

"Just lead the army out of the city to battle with them, and we can decisively settle the matter."

After hearing this, Long Chen nodded heavily, smiling, "Hahaha! Alright! We’ll do as Fengxiao says."

"Your wisdom and martial prowess, my lord."

"Fengxiao, don’t praise me anymore. Have you also learned how to flatter now?"

Narrowing his eyes, Long Chen laughed and waved his hand. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Guo Jia smiled without saying a word. In fact, the relationship between the two was not just that of lord and minister.

They were also good friends who liked to joke with each other when no one else was around.

Such a relationship greatly benefited their cooperation and understanding.

In fact, in the Three Kingdoms era that Long Chen saw in his previous life, the relationship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia was more like that between close friends.

This is also one of the important reasons why among Cao Cao’s many counselors, he favored Guo Jia alone.

The next morning.

A gentle breeze came, and the weeds on the plain swayed slowly with the wind, resembling graceful dancing maidens.

However, this beautiful scene instantly disappeared when a wave of iron cavalry came charging.

The hard hooves of the iron cavalry trampled the floating weeds heavily underfoot.

Perhaps in the future, there would be a scene of endless wild grass trampling and spring breeze rejuvenating...

A series of Vietnamese words that the people of Huaxia couldn’t understand were heard.

Through the system translation, it was understood that these were all Vietnamese.

"Nàng xí phí! Today, our army must do its utmost to capture Dragon City. If we can’t capture it, we must retreat..."

"Official news came that the Lord of Dragon City captured Hell Ghost City of Sakura Country last night, showing how terrifying their strength is."

"Yes, considering the attacking army’s number was barely over ten thousand, they managed to capture the heavily defended Ghost City."

"This Long Chen is definitely a top-tier dangerous figure. After today, we must retreat! Otherwise, when Long Chen returns, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Tens of thousands of troops surged forward mightily, and the covert sentinels of Dragon City informed Long Chen of their impending arrival early.

"Heh, they’ve walked right into the trap. Who can they blame?" Long Chen sneered.

"But to prevent their army from collapsing and fleeing, we should still prepare a follow-up plan," advised Guo Jia.

"Indeed, Fengxiao’s advice is sound. In that case, let’s have Zilong lay an ambush on the route where the Vietnamese army is sure to retreat!" Long Chen replied.

Zhao Yun, clad in bright sparkling white armor, furrowed his brows. With a respectful bow, he declared, "My lord, rest assured, I will personally take the enemy leader’s head for you!"

Long Chen chose Zhao Yun over Lu Bu because he trusted Zhao Yun more.

Zhao Yun’s ability to adapt to unforeseen situations was strong enough to handle events like these. Moreover, Long Chen gradually provided Zhao Yun with opportunities to lead troops independently.

How are strong figures formed?

They grow gradually through successive experiences, absorbing nutrients from them and continually improving and refining themselves.

As for Lu Bu, Long Chen felt it best to let him do what he excelled at: charging into the front lines as a fierce vanguard.

With Lu Bu clearing the way, it was akin to suddenly having a Tiger tank amidst opponents armed only with Model 1886 rifles—utterly devastating and causing unprecedented shockwaves.

And most importantly,

Lu Bu enjoyed this feeling immensely.

This approach also facilitated his continuous growth and advancement.

Different generals have different ways of advancing their own levels.

After giving orders to Zhao Yun, Long Chen changed into his Silver Armored Kirin Armor and mounted the Ice Dragon King, a five-star magical beast. freёwebnoѵel.com

Amidst a haze of ice-blue mist, he slowly appeared within view of the Vietnamese army.

"Who is that?! (Vietnamese)"

"Why does he look so cool..."

"What use is that pretty boy who looks good but is useless!!!"

"Our warriors! Quickly seize Dragon City; this is the number one main city of Huaxia. If we can take this city, Vietnam will shine throughout Asia and even globally. (Vietnamese)"

...

Upon seeing Long Chen, the audience in the Vietnamese livestream room expressed their views on the screen.

However,

These comments were met with resistance from many Chinese viewers.

"Don’t kid yourselves, you bunch of Vietnamese monkeys. Not only have you taken so many islands from our country, but now you’re here bragging!"

"Yeah, if it weren’t for our Huaxia showing the demeanor of a great power, you clowns would have been beaten silly long ago!"

"Let’s not bother arguing, brothers. Let’s wait and see how Long’s team humiliates them..."

...

In the heavens and earth, lightning flashed suddenly!

In the midst of the storm, dark clouds churned!

Two massive forces began to intertwine.

"Are you the Lord of Dragon City?!"

The first lord of Vietnam, dressed in his finest attire, raised his long blade arrogantly and demanded.

Since ancient times, Vietnam belonged to Huaxia, hence the cultural and dress similarities, even the professions in "Great Lord" were quite similar.
