Chapter 25: Borrowing a Sword to Seize the City (Part 1)

  One thousand five hundred gleaming knives, stood upside down at the foot of the mountain valley, their handles had long been buried in the small holes dug earlier, revealing a cold and deadly blade like white bones. At this moment, the blades covered a large area of land in front of Lü Jun's army, just like a knife mountain, making people tremble with fear.

  However, by the time Hou Cheng and others noticed, it was already too late.

  The previous hail of bullets had instantly plunged their morale to the bottom, and now Zhou's killing spree was causing them great confusion, yet they were involuntarily marching into a trap with knives and swords drawn.

  "Hmph......" "Ka ka ka......"

  The blade of the sword swept across the charging war horse, in a burst of human and horse screams, countless cavalrymen were pierced through the chest, head, limbs... In an instant, on this land, accompanied by the dark night color, it was like a hell on earth, making people tremble with fear.

  "With a 'whoosh' sound, one surviving soldier was stabbed down. Zhou Yu coldly raised the black gold spear and couldn't help but sneer: 'Rebel! Do you know how formidable my elder brother is?'"

  At this moment, Hou Cheng narrowly escaped four or five knife blades, but his war horse had already died on the mountain of knives, and even his left arm was pierced with a big hole.

  "My life is over..." Hou Cheng said with a pained expression, looking at the cavalry behind him, more than half of whom had already been killed or wounded. The loyal soldier who had previously warned him not to take this path was also dead, his face twisted in a grimace of regret.

  All the regrets are useless now, Hou Cheng never thought that his 5,000 troops would be defeated so miserably. Who is this commander? Is it really Xiahou Dun?

  Just as Hou Cheng was thinking this way, a sudden and intense killing intent burst forth once again from the small mountain path behind him.

  But just then two great generals rushed forward.

  One was a giant of a man, over ten feet tall, holding a massive guandao, while the other was an 18-year-old young general, yet the weapon in his hand was a black cloth-wrapped halberd, enormous beyond compare, and behind them followed eight hundred soldiers.

  Five thousand cavalry, half died in the rain of bullets, more than a thousand were killed by knife mountains and traps. The last thousand cavalry had no intention to fight again, but scattered in all directions, as if their morale had been shattered after a series of unexpected attacks.

  However, Cao Xin did not understand.

  At this moment, there is only one word in his heart.

  That's "Kill!"

  "With a loud cry of 'Charge!', Cao Xin was the first to lead the charge into the enemy ranks, his black iron greatsword flashing like a shooting star in the chaotic army, wildly slashing and chopping, each swing taking down over a dozen cavalrymen. The disorganized enemy army had already lost all sense of direction, and under the attack by Cao Xin and others, they were even more unable to resist."

  Dian Wei's halberd was like a sickle reaping wheat in the fields, carrying with it a crimson glow that swept away the enemy's last resistance time and again. Dian Wei's face was already ugly to begin with, but at this moment in the dark of night, he looked even more terrifying, like a demon emerging from the blackness, constantly darting between life and death.

  "Kill..."

  A cavalryman in the distance was about to fight to the death, but just as he was about to charge at a rifleman with his horse...

  "Bang!"

  The long spear was suddenly blocked by a shield.

  The cavalry was shocked again, raised their long spears and stabbed once more, but this time in a different direction, towards the right side.

  "Right!"

  The long spear was blocked by another shield.

  Along with the continuous cold laughter of the gunner, a strange long spear suddenly came out from the gap between the three shields like a ghost.

  "Hiccup"

  "Ah..." A spear pierced his own chest and abdomen, and the cavalryman only then discovered that there were three shield-bearing guards around the spearman, who were moving in a strange way, as if they could penetrate anywhere.

  However, the cavalrymen never figured out what tactic it was until they died.

  Two thousand infantrymen killed five thousand cavalrymen, scattering them in all directions. Three fierce generals, like evil spirits, rampaged through the chaotic army, and even soldiers who wanted to surrender were beheaded by the former before they could utter the words "I surrender".

  Five hundred riflemen and fifteen hundred shieldmen worked together in an orderly manner, moving in a regular pattern of four-man teams through the chaotic army, stabbing and killing as if they had merged into the muddy battlefield, each soldier complementing each other.

  But in an instant, the cavalry was almost completely annihilated...

  He fiercely split the last soldier's skull in two, Cao Xin calmly wiped the yellowish brain pulp from his face, revealing a playful expression.

  "Haha! It's been a long time since I've felt this good! Haha...!"

  At this time, every soldier's face was undoubtedly filled with excitement and astonishment. The excitement came from winning the battle, while the astonishment lay in the fact that they had defeated 5,000 cavalrymen with only 2,000 infantrymen, and their side had suffered almost zero casualties. This kind of war was something that most people had never experienced before, let alone heard of.

  But this seemingly impossible thing really happened...

  And the main general was still an eighteen-year-old who had just come of age and had been ridiculed by many people, this Xuzhou Ah Xin...

  At this moment, Cao Xin didn't need to say anything more.

  Looking at the battlefield littered with broken limbs and debris, Cao Xin finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. For him, this was not just a war, but a challenge that had freed him from historical shackles. This victory represented that he was not just a simple transmigrator; for the first time, apart from cold historical records, Cao Xin felt such a thrilling and bloody sensation. This victory was not won through history...

  Raising his hand high, Cao Xin didn't want to say anything more. Just a raised hand and a clenched fist were enough to represent everything.

  "Hurray for the General!"

  "Long live the General!!"

  "Long live the General!!!"

  A deafening roar echoed through the mountains in the dead of night, and it was only then that the soldiers truly admired the eighteen-year-old Lieutenant Tian Nong. As Cao Xin raised his right hand, the two thousand soldiers were instantly inspired, shouting out in unison.

  At this moment, Cao Xin is already the heart of everyone in their hearts.

  "Big brother! What should we do with this guy?!"

  At this time, Zhou Ding suddenly grabbed Hou Cheng over and dragged him in front of Cao Xin, regardless of the knife blade piercing his left arm.

  "Kill, just kill! Why must you catch, catch, catch..." After speaking for half a day, Hou Cheng didn't know if he was afraid or not, looking at Cao Xin's icy face in front of him, he had intended to pretend to be a hero, but ultimately failed.

  At this moment, Cao Xin's icy face flashed a hint of murderous intent, and he coldly snorted: "Push him down, kill him."

  As soon as he heard that the other side wanted to kill him, Hou Cheng's legs went numb, but he hurriedly knelt down and begged: "General, spare my life... General, spare my life..."

  Cao Xin sneered again, waved his hand to signal Zhou Yu not to kill him for the time being. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "What is your surname and name? Whose account are you under?"

  Hou Cheng was taken aback, seeing that the other side didn't seem to want to kill him yet. He hastily said: "I... Hou Cheng, am a general under Lü Bu... no, not a general, but a subordinate of that treacherous Lü Bu. I didn't want to lead the army there, it was all because I was deceived by Lü Bu..."

  "Stop, stop, stop..." He waved his hand, Cao Xin's heart suddenly calmed down, but he thought to himself that this guy was really stupid. However, he still said: "Alright, I'll spare your dog life!"

  "General! This mediocre talent, what's the point of keeping him? Just kill him and be done with it!"

  Jian Dianwei loudly opposed it, and Hou Cheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

  Just as Hou Cheng was secretly worried, Cao Xin's words entered his ears again.

  Cao Xin smiled coldly and suddenly said in a strange tone:

  "There's no one here... how can we enter Chenliu?"
