Chapter 54: The Annihilation of the Elite (Part 2)
The long and slow night, the rumbling sound of a herd of cattle rushing by has come and gone more than a dozen times.
Gao Shun himself had also inspected the surrounding mountains and forests, but he hadn't found any clues. The dark forest was empty and quiet, as if nothing had happened at all.
The weary soldiers took off their armor, and with a dejected look, they fell asleep in the military tent, but tonight was already the twentieth or so gathering, yet still no enemy ambush was seen.
For three whole days, during this period of time, no one had a good sleep, and it can be said that they didn't even have a short nap. Everyone's face was filled with heavy fatigue, what fighting spirit could there be?
However, at this moment, on the other side.
"Are all the brothers asleep?" Standing under the cold moonlight in the mountain forest, Cao Xin's face was covered with frost, looking at the silence of Lu County's large camp at this moment, he said coldly.
"Everyone slept well, thanks to Xu San and a group of brothers, we can nourish our spirits. General, please give the order quickly."
"Xin ku xi san le...... This time he will be the first to take credit!" Cao Xin nodded at this time, but was not in a hurry.
Xu San is hiding behind Cao Xin and Xu Chu at this moment, with a shy face, stuttering: "As long as I can help the general, Xu San dare not bow."
At this, Cao Xin fell silent, his eyes coldly fixed on the large camp below, where the warhorses occasionally stirred restlessly.
"General, give the order quickly!"
"General, give the order quickly! Give the order quickly!!"
The cold moon in the sky was dyed pitch black by the surrounding night, revealing a dark red hue.
Looking at the cavalry behind him, galloping and jumping in the woods, Cao Xin felt relieved, and a hint of sharpness suddenly appeared on his face.
"In a low voice, he shouted: 'Pass on my order! Charge!'"
A dark moon and strong winds on a murderous night, just as the Lu County Grand Camp fell into a silent...
Rumble...
It's that loud noise again, coming from all directions...
It was strange that at this moment no one shouted "Enemy attack!" and no one stood up to prepare for battle.
Each soldier was lethargic and motionless, as if they hadn't heard any sound at all...
But they didn't think that this time, it's really coming!
Over a thousand war horses tore through the air. Suddenly, from the mountainside, they swarmed down like a mighty torrent, their momentum not one whit less than before.
In the military tent, Gao Shun suddenly jumped up from his bed, having heard this voice and felt a hint of something being off.
From ahead came the faint sound of horses neighing...
"Not good!" A cry of surprise, Gao Shun immediately reacted and hastily rushed out of the military tent.
"Enemy attack! This time it's an enemy attack!!"
But no one paid attention to him anymore...
"Enemy attack, this time it's real! You bunch of trash, get up for me!" The red-faced and ear-piercing scolding finally woke everyone up after a while, but at the same time, they heard the sound of horses neighing from all around.
But it's too late now.
"Kill! Kill kill ah~~~~~~~"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu charged down the mountain first, their warhorses flashing into the military camp like lightning. Before those Pingzhou soldiers could react, they were immediately beaten to death by the former, with some soldiers not even opening their tired eyes before their heads fell to the ground, dying in a particularly miserable manner.
At this moment, the two of them were like two bloodthirsty demons, rampaging through the large camp like a herd of sheep. With each slight movement, more than a dozen soldiers instantly became corpses under their feet. Yet there were still those who underestimated themselves, losing consciousness before even getting close.
Behind them, countless Cao troops swarmed in like bees.
The defenseless and exhausted Bianjun army was caught off guard, having been tormented for a whole night. Suddenly facing the evil god Dianwei Xu Chu, they instantly lost their courage to continue fighting. Most of them didn't even have time to grab their weapons or put on their clothes before they were killed on the spot...
"What's going on in the camp!" A loud cry, Gao Shun also fell to the bottom of his heart at the same time, looking at the soldiers who fell down one by one under Cao Jun's feet. At this moment, a mournful expression flashed across Gao Shun's face.
"The rebel is getting out of control! General He Qi has arrived!"
Suddenly at this moment, in the midst of the chaotic army, a small school wearing the appearance of Bianzhou military attire suddenly rode a fast horse, rushing towards Gao Shun while loudly shouting.
Seeing this person, it turned out to be that little school from before. Gao Shun suddenly glared at the other party with anger: "You scoundrel, how dare you deceive me!"
He rode up and drew his sword, advancing to meet He Qi. Gao Shun was confident in his own martial skills, which were not as strong as Zhang Liao's but still superior to those of Hou Cheng and Song Xian.
"Right!"
"Good marksmanship!" "Good swordsmanship!"
Two horses clashed, He Qi's spear stabbed out, a wisp of spear energy emerged with a hint of cleverness, but was directly deflected by the latter's light knife. Yet this one move couldn't help but reveal a thread of admiration for each other.
The two men fought to a standstill, their horses wheeling and turning, each parrying the other's blows in a stalemate.
Cao Xin couldn't help but glance over at the two men fighting, and in the past few days, he had come to know He Qi's martial arts skills. Although his strength was no match for Zhou Bo, his spear techniques were uniquely exceptional, and after only forty or fifty rounds, he could defeat Zhou Bo without him putting up any resistance. It was clear that he had already reached a state of near-effortless mastery.
But looking at Gao Shun, he doesn't seem too weak either.
"Big brother! The enemy's ambush is indeed formidable... our brothers have suffered heavy casualties..."
Just as Cao Xin was secretly speculating, Zhou Yu appeared with his upper body bare and his body stained with a lot of blood, riding his horse to come before the former.
Fall into enemy's camp...
Suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, Cao Xin's chest still transmitted a severe pain, but at this moment he didn't care about many things, and endured the severe pain to follow Zhou Yu to kill towards the place with the most people.
The other side of this moment.
Four thousand soldiers of the state were instantly killed by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, defeated and scattered, leaving almost none in less than a quarter of an hour.
However, at this moment, the remaining 200 brave warriors in the distance were back to back, constantly resisting the fierce charge of Cao's army. Every warrior had a determined look on his face, fearless of the Cao army in front of him, revealing an attitude of dying together.
"Good!" With a shout of admiration, Cao Xin charged forward on his horse and flew into the enemy's front line.
But at this moment, Cao's army suddenly saw that it was their own general who had arrived, and the soldiers who were originally fearful suddenly became like chickens being injected with blood, constantly shouting loudly.
At the same time, seeing that nearly half of his men and horses had been killed by the enemy, Cao Xin suddenly raised his knife and roared with anger, ignoring the intense pain that was tearing at his heart. His warhorse leapt high into the air and instantly charged towards the two hundred brave warriors in the ambush.
A black, giant blade-like sword with no edge was raised above Cao Xin's head. Twenty brave warriors who were trapped in the formation quickly drove their swords to meet it, but not towards Cao Xin, rather they went towards the war horse of the former.
"Ahh—dare!" A thunderous roar shook the sky, and at the same time, a chill ran down Cao Xin's stern face as he stared at the twenty large knives that suddenly charged towards his warhorse. His body was still in mid-air, but with an unconscious instinctive twist, he saw his warhorse being attacked by these people, its legs fiercely exerting great strength, and the warhorse let out a loud whinny due to the intense pain it felt.
At the time of speaking, it was too late, when twenty brave warriors rushed over, Cao Xin relied solely on his own strength, and in the critical moment when the knife edge was about to arrive, he barely made the war horse narrowly avoid danger.
Just then, at the same time, before this group of brave warriors could react, the black iron giant knife that covered the sky and earth suddenly chopped down.
"Hmph..." The might of a single sword shattered everyone's hearts in an instant.
Those twenty people who were previously unstoppable, were suddenly smashed to pieces, their brains bursting and their flesh mangled...
In an instant, everyone was stunned, whether it was Cao Jun at the moment or the remaining soldiers, they were all deeply shocked by Cao Xin's one knife divine power...
One by one, they were stunned...
