Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1651: Chapter 1591: War Ignites, Fighting to the Death

With one slash, Hua Xiong shattered the gates of the Northern Huns Camp, and a flame-like radiance suddenly appeared on the great sword in his hand, which he then fiercely slashed into the camp, roaring as he launched an attack on the Northern Huns Camp. Instantly, the entire Northern Huns Camp was in an uproar, with people shouting and horses neighing!

Hua Xiong paid no heed to anything else. As the cloud qi above his head descended with his slash, it suddenly burned into a fiery red, and then extended out to merge with the Wuhuan Cavalry’s cloud qi and his own, blending indistinguishably.

This was also why the Iron Cavalry leading the Hu Cavalry significantly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Hu Cavalry, although not fully sharing the attributes bestowed by the Iron Cavalry’s cloud qi, it changed the originally fragile defensive power of the Hu Cavalry, sharing some of the Iron Cavalry’s formidable defense.

Long spears whirled, and horses galloped. From the moment they stepped through the camp gates, the Iron Cavalry began a frantic outpouring of their ferocity. The lowered long spear, with the army horse sweeping over the Hunnic military tents, brought formidable power, instantly piercing through the unarmored Northern Huns.

Then countless warhorses surged over, trampling the corpses of the Northern Huns and the pierced-through Hunnic tents into the mud, and as over ten thousand cavalry charged through, everything they faced before was instantly stomped into the earth.

”Enemy attack!” When Hua Xiong knocked over the first military tent, a piercing shriek finally resounded in the Northern Huns Camp.

The sprawling Northern Huns Camp at this moment saw countless people frantically emerging from tents, but at such a time when troops and horses were not fully prepared, even the elite of the Northern Huns could not avoid chaos.

Overturned fire pits, burning military tents, chaotic and unorganized soldiers — at this moment, the entire Northern Huns Camp seemed as if with another shove, it would collapse and disband.

”All centurions in the tents, arm yourselves and come forth, gather towards the stables, we will fend off the enemy!” At the point when the Northern Huns Camp was about to descend into chaos, a deep thundering sound of a bronze bell rang out for miles, followed by a clear command from an Inner Qi Manifestation General.

Immediately, most of the chaos in the originally disordered Northern Huns Camp was dispelled under this order. After all, the core of the Northern Huns was on par with the most elite in the Central Plains, and if not for the initial panic, it wouldn’t have been reduced to such a state. But with someone giving orders, all the Northern Huns Soldiers suddenly found their backbone.

The most obvious thing was that initially when Hua Xiong overturned a military tent, the Northern Huns Soldiers inside who were not yet armored would turn and flee. Now, when a tent was overturned, even those soldiers not yet armored at least grabbed a spear, daring to fight desperately with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

This core of the Northern Huns was not fragile, and after gaining their backbone, they quickly organized themselves, and even more came armored after, beginning to mount an organized resistance against Hua Xiong under the leadership of their respective commanders.

As for the Northern Huns Soldiers at the rear, once armored, they immediately led troops towards the stables — after all, even an elite cavalry without horses couldn’t possibly fight tenfold more effectively!

After a single strike that shattered the Northern Huns soldiers blocking in the front, Hua Xiong no longer focused on slaughter but on creating chaos within the Northern Huns Camp. He opened the oil sacs hanging from his horse, throwing them out directly, and then quickly overturned fire pits.

The so-called night raid, frankly, was just about killing people and setting fires. Knowing he couldn’t afford any delay, Hua Xiong hurled satchels of tung oil with great force, and soon flames quickly rose within the Huns’ camp.

”Die!” Just as Hua Xiong led his troops, madly setting fires and killing enemies in the Northern Huns Camp, a Northern Huns general leading his troops charged forth with an angry roar. Although Hua Xiong didn’t understand the words, he could guess the meaning from the opponent’s imposing manner!

”Come, watch me kill you!” After being enraged, Hua Xiong erupted with a flame-bathing radiance enveloping all the Iron Cavalry Soldiers, and after several years, Hua Xiong once again unleashed his legion talent on the battlefield.

All the Iron Cavalry Soldiers felt a tremendous force surging from within, roaring fiercely as they charged towards the thousands charging head-on against them.

”A mere thousand Military Spirit Legion Soldiers think they are invincible, leading these cavalry not even fully armored!” Hua Xiong roared, the flames on his body intensified several times over; this was the second Military Spirit Legion he engaged with, as for the first, he already buried!

At this moment, Hua Xiong’s aura surged nearly to its peak, and the legion talent faintly fluctuated. As Hua Xiong roared, the entire great army seemed to gain an enhancement.

The two cavalry units clashed together even as Hua Xiong’s roar echoed, and the imposing Iron Cavalry collided with the Hun Guards defending in place within Northern Huns.

For these two cavalry units which had already reached an above-top level, ordinary probing had long lost all significance. For both sides, only a direct charge could prove their strength!

In the next moment, streams of black-red and dark-gray collided directly. The well-honed tactics and strategies of the Northern Huns Guards, honed over hundreds of years, were fully displayed at this moment; the charge passed by, iron and steel clashed, and spears were broken.

That almost instantaneous pass-through, under such terrifying frontal charge speed, even Hua Xiong couldn’t possibly evade all damages, with their near-telepathic coordination, their almost precognitive spear thrust, upon striking down an opponent foretelling the next strike’s direction, the strength of the Northern Huns Guards was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Spears were broken, but the mighty spirit did not break. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not possess the centuries-old experience of the Northern Huns Guards, nor their near-perfect offensive and defensive tactics, but their fiercest thrust delivered with robust bodies could not be easily blunted even by the Northern Huns Guards.

There was no need for technique, no need for tactics, no need for perfect riding skill, nor the almost precognitive identical combat and evasion. What the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had was attack, defense, and strength. The long spear thrust required no skill in the cloud qi suppressing environment. Even though separating Inner Qi, the Huns’ long spear could still pierce through!

Warhorses neighed mournfully, soldiers fell, and within a few breaths of clash, the gap was almost discerned instantly. Hua Xiong’s abdomen and chest bore a deep bone-revealing wound; similarly, the Uloran Clan leader of the Northern Huns Guards bore a wound on the waist.

The moment four thousand Iron Cavalry charged and killed, the Northern Huns Guards led by the Uloran Clan crashed into the Wuhuan Elite Cavalry, truly like a true dragon swimming in the sea, invincible.

Similarly, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, upon passing through the Northern Huns Guards and facing the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry, truly displayed the momentum of a ferocious tiger entering a wolf pack; as both sides passed, riderless warhorses remained on the crossing battlefield, while more were countless fragmented bodies trampled by warhorses.

”Charge!” Hua Xiong’s eyes were blood-red, never looking back, knowing that in that previous clash, over five hundred of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry perished, around two hundred of the Northern Huns Guards died, and as for the Wuhuan Elite Cavalry, casualties were beyond calculation, and for the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry, casualties were probably around eight hundred!
