Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1736: Chapter 1642: I Am Truly Speechless

The bloody clash of top-tier military spirits caused soldiers on both sides to continually fall from their horses. Although it seemed like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was killing more ferociously and rapidly, the overall situation of the army was gradually shifting towards the Northern Huns. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, despite their bravery, found it difficult to break through the elite cavalry army led by the Hun Guards.

Both of the most elite forces gritted their teeth and persisted, waiting for the moment when the opponent, unable to withstand the terrible losses, would naturally collapse, launching a deadly strike.

When Hua Xiong’s Xiliang Iron Cavalry was led astray, Chen Xi and Zhou Yu realized something was amiss. However, thanks to the previous appearance of the Golden Eagle, the two were already prepared for the fight; otherwise, in this situation, ordinary generals would definitely panic.

”Li Yan, compress the defense range. Cheng Pu, suppress with arrow rain.” Zhou Yu sighed lightly as Hua Xiong fully penetrated the Dingling army, then issued orders to the soldiers on the flanks.

”I’ll join in too.” Despite being young, Lyu Meng possessed excellent battlefield intuition. Upon seeing Hua Xiong charge into the enemy’s formation, he immediately rode out from the central army and spoke to Chen Xi and Zhou Yu.

”You should stay here.” Zhou Yu held Lyu Meng back. ”What’s more important for you now is to learn.”

Lyu Meng was momentarily stunned. ”I already possess Spiritual Talent, which surpasses most people in the world. Why shouldn’t I go practice? Practice is more effective than standing by to learn.”

”Tch.” Chen Xi smirked and chose not to argue with Lyu Meng, while Zhou Yu explained, ”From the perspective of Spiritual Talent, you indeed surpass most people in the world, but your opponents are never these ordinary, mediocre people. Your opponents are at our level, and how much of a gap do you think there is between you and me?”

Lyu Meng’s face fell. He wasn’t an idiot. Although he disliked learning, his talent was evident, and he could understand the difference in strength; the gap between himself and Zhou Yu wasn’t small.

”Stay here obediently.” Chen Xi turned and told Lyu Meng, ”The upcoming battle is very dangerous. If things really go wrong, escaping might be difficult.”

The Hun Guards led nearly ten thousand Hun Elite Cavalry in their clash with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Thanks to Hua Xiong’s rich experience, upon realizing the unfavorable situation, he immediately narrowed the area under attack.

Although the kill rate dropped sharply, the casualties reduced significantly too. The Military Spirit Legion’s characteristic of resisting death allowed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to consistently pose a threat to this elite force of the Huns, keeping the battle between both sides in a stalemate.

Meanwhile, upon confirming that the Military Spirit Legion of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was held back, Kun Wan immediately led his troops to attack the Han Army under Chen Xi’s command. At this time, the surrounding Miscellaneous Hun had already spread out, forming a massive encirclement, not attacking but simply keeping the entire Han Army surrounded from afar.

It’s apparent that the Huns intended to annihilate the Han Army in one fell swoop. Whether they could achieve that depended on Kun Wan’s capabilities.

”Do you think the Right Prince of Xiongnu charging at us now possesses Legion Talent?” Zhou Yu joked coldly, watching the Miscellaneous Hun’s large encirclement open a path and the Northern Huns charge aggressively under Kun Wan’s leadership.

”Would you believe me if I said no?” Chen Xi replied irritably.

Unlike the earlier Miscellaneous Hun charge, the Northern Huns moved faster, quickly thrusting at the front of the Han Army at high speed. Cheng Pu and Li Yan reflexively drew their bows and aimed at the Northern Huns.

In an instant, arrow rain shot forth, thousands of arrows targeting the front Miscellaneous Hun. However, the moment the Han Army’s arrow rain shot forth, the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry with Kun Wan at the lead split left and right, forming two large arcs attacking the wings, countless arrows forming a dense forest on the ground.

Subsequently, the Northern Huns under Kun Wan’s lead maneuvered in serpentine paths, forming a large circle on the left and right wings. Han Army stood on high alert, waiting for Kun Wan to attack. It wasn’t until the moment the two arcs merged, both sides suddenly sliced through, rapidly increasing their speed, and then, catching the Han Army off guard, launched an attack.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu was cautious, consistently focusing on his task. All archers, apart from being equipped with Swords for close combat, instinctively shot arrows.

Because of this, they managed, under the Northern Huns’ unexpected attack, to shoot arrows from their bowstrings. Instantly, many Hun Elite Cavalry fell from their horses. However, without the coordination of the Elite of Danyang and Wuhuan Archers, the arrow rain was scattered, causing significant damage but failing to stop the Northern Huns’ charge.

Seeing the Northern Huns charging through the arrow rain, not giving the rear archers a chance, Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed coldly, the Zither Sound resonated, and the Legion Talent transformed into dark red. The archers at the frontline resisting the Northern Huns dropped their bows, wielding Swords to face the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry as though deciding life or death here.

The Northern Huns Elite Cavalry charged on like thunder, never fearing infantry. With cruel smiles, they thrust Long Spears diagonally at the Eastern Wu Archers, who lacked armor and held only Swords.

However, what happened next completely overturned everyone’s perception of the Eastern Wu Archers. Holding Longswords, the Eastern Wu Archers rolled on the ground at the moment the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry thrust at them, gripping Swords in both hands, sweeping sideways to cut at the horse legs.

The warhorses struck by this attack had their forelimbs severed, and the Hun Elites on horseback, in the moment of losing their footing, fell forward uncontrollably, instantly getting stabbed to death by the Eastern Wu Archers holding Longswords from behind.
