Mythical Three Kingdoms

Cavalry against infantry inherently holds a significant advantage; it’s practically madness for elite cavalry to face infantry. As for heavy cavalry charging against infantry, to be honest, this is truly Zhang He’s invention.

Those brutal figures plowed straight through the miscellaneous Hun infantry, disregarding everything in their path, either knocking them flying or trampling them into pulp. The crushing of infantry by heavy cavalry was vividly displayed in the valleys among these hills.

Charging forward without practically any losses, they caused the front ranks of the miscellaneous Hun infantry to flee in panic. There’s simply no countermeasure to this tactic for infantry.

Qifulan watched the chaos engulfing his army ahead in terror; his forces hadn’t even fully deployed before the enemy was about to pierce through them completely. Was the opposing combat power defying the heavens?

”Under my banner, who dares to fight me?” Zhang He charged all the way, and the miscellaneous Hun infantry couldn’t stop him, eventually just moving out of the way; hence, Zhang He’s charge became faster and his momentum grew even stronger.

”Follow me to stop the enemy!” Qifulan, seeing his infantry all evade, was suddenly enraged and led his personal army forward. If they collapsed at the first touch like this, he’d face dire consequences even if he managed to escape.

Qifulan roared as he led his personal soldiers towards Zhang He, but the outcome was apparent the moment they clashed.

It wasn’t just the disparity in troops; the gap between the leaders was enormous. Although Cloud Qi shackled the manifestation of Inner Qi, Zhang He’s power was completely overwhelming for Qifulan.

As for the clash between the heavy cavalry and Qifulan’s trusted aide, in a head-to-head collision, Qifulan’s aides were scattered all over the place. Their basic strength was inferior to the reserve elite of Great Halberdiers, their equipment couldn’t compare, nor did they have any Legion Talent to counteract. How could they possibly win?

Seeing his escort diminish and facing Zhang He’s insurmountable strength, Qifulan became increasingly alarmed; his already shaky mentality grew more agitated amidst the onslaught of Zhang He’s elite cavalry.

Zhang He noticed his opponent growing more unsettled, his attacks became steadier, not seeking the quickest kill but steadily suppressing the opponent, his eyes burning with increasing fighting spirit.

[Ten more moves, and I’ll definitely take him down!] Zhang He’s eyes nearly sparked, though his mind grew increasingly calm.

”Prepare to die!” As the eighth spear knocked aside Qifulan’s long spear, the ninth strike swept across his neck, and as the tenth pierced through his chest, two beams, one purple and one gold, flew from the left, thoroughly impaling Qifulan, after which Zhang He pierced his chest through.

Seeing Qifulan’s chest, barely connected by a bit of flesh and eyes wide open in death, Zhang He felt like his lungs were about to burst.

”Whistle~” Ma Chao proudly whistled to the sky while Sun Ce on the other side continuously mocked Ma Chao, causing Zhang He’s rage to boil.

”The enemy commander is dead, why haven’t you surrendered yet?!” Zhang He shouted, venting the ache in his lungs, following these two guys would drive him mad eventually.

With this furious shout, the stunned miscellaneous Huns immediately threw down their weapons. Thirty thousand infantry against nearly ten thousand cavalry in open field is suicide!

Of course, just as Sun Ce hadn’t noticed how many miscellaneous Huns there were at the start, Qifulan, although not as careless as Sun Ce and Ma Chao, hadn’t expected the enemy to have over ten thousand cavalry. Yet, knowing it wouldn’t change much, there was no escaping this!

”What are you two doing!” After sending his soldiers to capture prisoners, Zhang He, fuming with anger, approached Ma Chao and Sun Ce. The battle had been easy, with minimal casualties on his side, and they still had reserves.

”A kill is a kill, after all; I saw you having such a hard time, so I stepped in to help.” Ma Chao wore a look as if doing Zhang He a favor.

”Who said I wanted to kill him? I was going to capture him!” Zhang He nearly choked, Ma Chao was truly annoying, a real brat!

”With that spear through the chest, if it didn’t leave a hole as big as a bowl, would you catch him?” Sun Ce looked as if Zhang He was trying to fool him.

”Even if it left a hole as big as a bowl, it’s better than the three bowl-sized holes you guys made!” Zhang He, unflustered at Sun Ce’s exposure, retorted immediately.

”Oh, it’s fine, usually putting a hole doesn’t kill, hammering three won’t either, we just helped a bit.” Ma Chao laughed mischievously, ”I hadn’t slain any Inner Qi Manifestation Miscellaneous Huns along the way, I was itching.”

”...” Zhang He felt communication with them was impossible, he was exhausted, these two were definitely not normal people he could talk to, ”Forget it, unless I’m losing, don’t help next time, I feel I’m about to breakthrough.”

”Oh, don’t worry, if there’s any real expert, I’ll be sure to stop them.” Sun Ce twirled his long spear promising Zhang He.

”You still have time for chit-chat, let me give you some news, heading southeast a few dozen miles will lead you to a real battleground, of course, heading northeast a few dozen miles will too.” Jia Kui rode up, looking at Sun Ce and Ma Chao, saying.

”A battleground?” Sun Ce and Ma Chao exchanged glances, both eyes ablaze.

”Hmm, I’ve basically understood their intentions, I think we should go fight the miscellaneous Huns, the Northern Huns we might not make it in time, and Grand Commandant Liu’s Vice Army likely lacks the strength to annihilate the Northern Huns, there’s a bigger chance of them having fought and retreated already.” Jia Kui said to Sun Ce and Ma Chao.

”So if we go now, we won’t make it in time to fight the Northern Huns?” Sun Ce asked, a bit depressed.

”Rest assured, I’ve just interrogated these miscellaneous Hun prisoners, the Northern Huns’ strength isn’t weak, resolving it quickly is impossible, this battle is far from the final showdown.” Jia Kui rolled his eyes at Sun Ce.

”Then what are we waiting for, abandon the prisoners and head southeast for another battle!” Sun Ce excitedly ordered.

”No, I mean leave a thousand here to watch the prisoners. Honestly, General Sun, if your Hu Cavalry has a thousand more or less, it makes no difference.” Jia Kui bluntly stated, ”Your Hu Cavalry’s combat power is really poor.”

At this moment, Sun Ce felt something stuck in his lungs. Jia Kui, why speak so directly, suggesting leaving a thousand wouldn’t bother me, why state this fact, do you think I’m blind to it?

”Leave a thousand men to guard these miscellaneous Huns.” Sun Ce’s face twitched twice, he tolerated silently, Jia Kui was right.

Jia Kui raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised that Sun Ce accepted his words without rebuke, while Ma Chao on the side burst into laughter, eventually getting a poke from Sun Ce before quieting down.
