Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1570 - 1513: Return...
Wenn Hong galloped at the forefront, wielding the Long Spear, charging directly into the Miscellaneous Hun army with a fearless and death-defying momentum. Behind him, his private soldiers, either household born members of the Wenn Family or orphans picked up by the Wenn Family, held great loyalty towards the Wenn Family.
Seeing Wenn Hong’s fearless charge into the Miscellaneous Hun army, the following private soldiers of the Wenn Family charged towards the right-wing Miscellaneous Hun with a death-defying assault. Five hundred men charged forward fearlessly, even blocking the Miscellaneous Hun, earning a considerable amount of time for Zang Ba to break through.
After breaking through that layer of encirclement, Zang Ba suddenly felt the intensity of the attacks around them lighten. He immediately continued to break through ahead, continuously breaching several lines of defense. At that moment, Xu Shu’s hands, which had been tightly gripping the frame to the point of turning pale, began to regain some color.
"Sure enough, I can do it, I can absolutely do it!" Xu Shu’s eyes sharpened even further. His spirit highly concentrated, he completely ignored the bloodstains at the corner of his eye. The flaws he now perceived went beyond the existing ones to those anticipated in the future!
"No flaws, or no flaws suitable for me, then let me create the flaws I desire. If I can predict your actions, then I can certainly prejudge the flaws that you will transform into next!" Xu Shu frantically suggested to himself, equally frantically assessing the battlefield situation, his Spiritual Talent now pushing to the limit.
"Beat the drums!" Xu Shu shouted to the drummer beside him, "Head southeast!"
Upon hearing the drumbeat again, Zang Ba, who had breached several fronts, hesitated not a moment and charged southeast. The Miscellaneous Hun, retreating from the southwest direction, did not react in time and were successfully outmaneuvered by Zang Ba’s maneuver.
The Miscellaneous Hun originally encircling from the southeast direction were caught completely off-guard by Zang Ba’s frontal assault. The chaotic situation on both sides once again created an opportunity for Zang Ba to break out.
"Left or right?" Xu Shu’s icy gaze swept the front. Within at most three miles, he could break through, but now Zang Ba faced a suddenly strengthened Miscellaneous Hun force ahead.
"Are they drilling soldiers?" Xu Shu was startled internally but immediately suppressed this thought. This was absolutely beyond contemplation. All he should consider now was breaking through, ensuring Zang Ba successfully breaks through.
On the other side, Guan Ping and Wei Yan, leading over a thousand cavalry, charged madly. Relying on their powerful Martial Force, they forcibly carved a bloody path.
"Get out of my way!" Guan Ping furiously hurled a Miscellaneous Hun’s Long Spear viciously forward, the immense force impaling two Miscellaneous Hun together.
Guan Ping then by clashing wildly slaughtered several Miscellaneous Hun Cavalry, reaching out to single-handedly lift the arrow-stuck, fallen Wenn Hong onto his own horse.
"A true man." Wei Yan rushed over on a Hu person’s warhorse as Guan Ping immediately tossed Wenn Hong onto a horse. Simultaneously, Wei Yan handed over a packet of internally and externally usable Hemostatic Medicine.
"Can you ride?" Guan Ping beheaded a Miscellaneous Hun with one stroke, turning to ask Wenn Hong.
"If I’m not dead, I can still kill enemies, let alone ride!" Wenn Hong laughed wildly, took Wei Yan’s medicine, and poured it into his mouth. Then he followed Wei Yan and Guan Ping towards Zang Ba, whereas the previous five hundred private soldiers who followed Wenn Hong in blocking now dwindled to a mere few dozen.
Soon, Wei Yan and Guan Ping caught up with Zang Ba’s Central Army. The situation on both sides was dire, with less than five thousand soldiers remaining in the Central Army combined with Wei Yan and Guan Ping. The private soldiers of the Guo Family and the Wenn Family had largely been depleted in this brutal battlefield.
"Step aside, Wei Yan is here!" Wei Yan bellowed as he was about to catch up with Zang Ba’s Central Army, with Guan Ping following with a resounding shout.
The two then unleashed wild combat power, regardless of Physical Strength, forcibly cutting a path and joining forces with Zang Ba’s troops within a few breaths.
At that moment, Zang Ba’s soldiers felt a surge of morale, and with Guan Ping and Wei Yan’s troops reuniting, their morale rose as well, though such a situation would not last long.
Seeing the return of Guan Ping and Wei Yan, Zang Ba’s heart sank slightly. He immediately ordered a trusted aide beside him to take out a pre-prepared Signal Arrow, nocking it into the bow and shooting towards the front. Its sharp sound naturally prompted avoidance from the Hu people, but amid such military might, some evaded not the inevitable, struck by this Signal Arrow.
Upon hearing the Signal Arrow, Xu Shu knew the situation had arrived at the moment Zang Ba inquired about. Instantly, he needed to provide an assessment of the current situation.
A heavy three-beat from the drum, a prearranged code between Zang Ba and Xu Shu, denoted that Xu Shu didn’t have absolute certainty of breaking through.
On hearing these three beats, Zang Ba took a deep breath. Though he had anticipated encountering such a scenario, facing the reality, it was indeed somewhat beyond expectation. A war of state-level proportions, entirely different from other skirmishes!
"Wei Yan, Guan Ping, help me hold on for a while!" Zang Ba inhaled deeply and shouted to Wei Yan and Guan Ping.
"Got it, leave it to me!" Out of trust for Zang Ba, both men roared without hesitation.
Guan Ping and Wei Yan led their troops fiercely forward, strenuously bearing the enemy’s attack. Zang Ba, no longer hesitating, took the opportunity to withdraw his troops, composed entirely of Qingzhou Soldiers.
As Zang Ba’s troops withdrew, the burden on Wei Yan and Guan Ping abruptly increased, yet they both persisted with fortitude, showing no dissatisfaction.
"In the end, do I still have to resort to this power..." Zang Ba sighed internally, yet his exterior remained calm. Having decided, there was no room for hesitation.
"Return..." Calming his mindset, Zang Ba whispered. In an instant, winds surged and clouds roared, and nearly all the soldiers following him erupted in a greyish-yellow Radiance.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Zang Ba did not look back, only quietly commanded, while the more than three thousand soldiers cloaked in greyish-yellow Radiance seemed to comprehend. They wanted to salute, but seeing Zang Ba’s back, all smiled wryly.
Zang Ba uttered no more words and charged forward. The soldiers behind him, some spinning their Great Sword, others twirling their Long Spear, saw Zang Ba rushing, and they all charged behind him.
However, unlike before, this time the formation was extremely scattered, with almost no battle formation. Yet the moment the Han Army met the Miscellaneous Hun, the superiority was instantly apparent.
The soldiers behind Zang Ba easily slashed through the front-line Miscellaneous Hun. The leisurely ease was akin to veterans who had survived a hundred battles, instinctively evading attacks to achieve maximal results.
