Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1404: Forces Unite, the Great Battle Begins

[Ah, how could this happen? Could it be that the heavens do not favor the Great Han? First, the alien race awakened their Legion Talent, and then all was peaceful, yet just as we were about to execute our plan, we encountered the Xianbei at the extreme distance!] At this moment, Fengg Ji displayed a look of despair.

However, regardless of how desperate Fengg Ji was, he still frantically activated his brain to think of how to respond. After all, it had reached the point of no return, and decisive as he was, he naturally knew how to choose.

”Prepare for action, have someone keep an eye on the opposite side, and once they show any signs of attack, we’ll strike first.” Fengg Ji sighed as he spoke.

Now it’s already mid-May, and sudden heavy rain is nothing unusual. Although the sky seems clear, it has actually accumulated a lot of moisture. This was a preparation done by Sheni Pei in advance to cover the moonlight, and now Fengg Ji could only gamble. If the opposing cavalry launched an attack, he would immediately summon rain.

Only a heavy rain could completely cover the slaughter of a battle over thirty li away. Fortunately, it’s over thirty li, and the other side mainly consists of cavalry. Once drenched by the rain, the muddy terrain would prevent the cavalry from running at high speed.

Zhang He was also very nervous at this moment, as his subordinates were not in armor, merely clad in ordinary sheepskins for disguise. If they encountered such a large-scale Xianbei, even if the other side was not strong, the battle would reveal his intentions.

”General, they seem to be Han Army!” Just when Zhang He was in a dilemma, one of his scout cavalry suddenly spoke up.

Similarly, Fengg Ji’s scout also provided the same answer to him. Both were taken aback, and then they both stared in the direction of the other side.

”They have stirrups and saddles.” Fengg Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the opposition was Liu Bei’s Army, as long as they were Han people, there would be no problem.

”They have topknots...” Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were Han people, it was fine. He also understood that as long as they were Han, there was no need to take action.

Fengg Ji urged his horse forward, and having not yet left the formation, Zhang He saw they were their own people, and his heart was filled with excitement. Indeed, this was all Sheni Pei’s scheme. Surely, Sheni Pei had not betrayed them; everything was under Sheni Pei’s control. Nothing was more exciting for Zhang He than this.

”Military Advisor Fengg, I am Zhang He!” Zhang He’s voice came to Fengg Ji’s ears. Fengg Ji was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. Even though he didn’t understand how Zhang He, who was demoted to Bingzhou, was here, they were their own people, and among the Four Pillars of Hebei. This was the top combat power of Hebei!

”General Zhang, you scared me.” Fengg Ji rode over and saw Zhang He, smiling bitterly, and said, ”But with the General here, our army has no more problems in this battle.”

Lyu Xiang, Lyu Kuang, and others also came forward to salute. Although Yuan Tan had sent Zhang He and Gao Lan to Bingzhou, everyone knew that was just anger displacement. Moreover, Zhang He’s and Gao Lan’s abilities were acknowledged by all the generals, so they remained respectful upon seeing Zhang He.

After all, Inner Qi Manifestation is intimidating in any era, and the pressure faintly exuded by Zhang He now was not inferior to Yann Liang at that time.

Though Yann Liang controlled Qi with his spirit, his level of inner qi was also at the Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, undeniably a top expert. If it weren’t for Guan Yu’s godlike prowess surpassing Yann Liang, their confrontation wouldn’t have been such.

With Yann Liang’s combat power at that time, he could rank in the top twenty among the current Four Great Empires, only one step away from a higher divine level.

Unfortunately, the opponent was Guan Yu, an ultimate warrior who had ventured further in the divine aspect than himself, and during the Yuan Liu battle, Yann Liang indeed chose the wrong way to fight. He shouldn’t have competed in will.

If it had been direct combat back then, with the divine boost enhancing his ultimate inner qi manifestation by 49% and 50% combat power barely any different, it would have been a closely matched fight. But Guan Yu chose the right way from the start, and Yann Liang believed his will was not inferior to Guan Yu, which resulted in just a slight difference.

Frankly speaking, when the Xuanyuan Cauldron appeared back then, if it weren’t for the mishap of Lyu Bu’s wife and daughter, if Lyu Bu hadn’t chased the immortals to Jizhou, and had Yann Liang faced divine attacks, the realization in destroying divine will, both sides’ beliefs, spirit, and will would have been at the same level!

And now, the pressure emanating from Zhang He was comparable to that of Yann Liang, naturally astonishing the soldiers of the Yuan army.

”Could you tell me the accurate situation? I also came upon learning of the situation in Bingzhou, thinking something might have gone wrong with Military Advisor Sheni, so I led the troops here.” Zhang He, looking at the soldiers before him, was filled with confidence. Just a sweep of his eyes, although much concealed, there were nearly thirty thousand.

Fengg Ji recounted the whole story from beginning to end, then looked at Zhang He, ”That’s about it. This is indeed Zheng Nan’s scheme, although unexpected incidents occurred. If the General hadn’t come, that Inner Qi Manifestation would really be hard to deal with.”

”It is indeed the strategy of Military Advisor Sheni.” Zhang He remarked with appreciation, ”Since Military Advisor Sheni has already made arrangements, I won’t say much. Leave the Inner Qi Manifestation to me.”

”General, follow me to attack at the second quarter of Yin Hour tonight. I already feel the moisture in the sky; tonight will surely be filled with dense clouds. This is the opportune moment Zheng Nan left for us to launch the attack.” Fengg Ji didn’t hold back and directly arranged it.

”How about I directly attack the Changping North Gate? I was worried about not being able to break through before, but now I’m relieved.” Zhang He said with a smile.

”General, still act with me as the commander of the assault. Take action after the opponent’s Inner Qi Manifestation reveals itself.” Fengg Ji thought it would be better to play it safe.

”No need, I have been blessed by our lord in Bingzhou, trained a cavalry, and it’s time to see some blood.” Zhang He cupped his hands and said.

”Hmm?” Fengg Ji looked at Zhang He in confusion, if he remembered correctly, Zhang He and Gao Lan were both dispatched to Bingzhou by Yuan Tan to avoid trouble, how could it be that he still received such favor.

Very soon Fengg Ji felt the difference between Zhang He’s legion and his own soldiers. They were tall, strong, and obviously exceptionally fierce.

”Are these your achievements in Bingzhou?” Fengg Ji said incredulously, these people looked like exceptionally elite cavalry.

”Yes, this was the order from our lord, for me to hide in the shadows and train a powerful army capable of a decisive strike. Unfortunately, I’m not General Juo, otherwise, I could have gone even further.” Zhang He said somewhat disappointedly, as Juo Yi was the strongest general under Yuan Shao.

”Very well, tonight let’s use the blood of the Xianbei to inaugurate this powerful army!” Fengg Ji, though surprised that Yuan Tan could have such magnanimity, accepted the facts, so he no longer doubted and listened to Zhang He’s arrangement.
