I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1989 - 1991: Charge with Me
"During battle, dispense with the formalities." You waved your hand, looking at the military generals, "Is everything ready?" ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
"Everything is in place!"
Nodding, you looked at the vast and dark plain ahead, "Await my command."
"Understood."
At this moment, you slowly raised your hand, spreading your fingers. First, you slowly bent your thumb, then after a moment, bent your index finger; next was the middle finger, followed by the ring finger. At this pause, you waited; as if by some divine will, a sudden wind arose at this moment!
In that instant, your eyes suddenly widened, and you let out an earth-shattering roar, "Release the arrows!"
From the city walls, archers, having prepared long ago, drew arrows soaked in black oil from barrels, ignited them, and shot them densely into the sky ahead.
The arrows followed one another in rows; by the time the third row of fire arrows reached mid-air, the first row had already hit the ground!
Instantly, the previously silent plain was filled with piercing screams. A few rows of fire arrows descended, igniting scattered flames on the once pitch-black plain. Though the flames were not fierce, they at least allowed the soldiers on the walls to discern the enemyβs distance.
"Throw the fireballs!"
On your command, a hundred wooden balls wrapped in oilcloth were ignited on catapults and hurled towards the enemy positions ahead.
From the side view, when the giant fireballs streaked across the dark night sky, they formed a stunning and remarkable spectacle, though its base was filled with countless screams and wails.
The main purpose of the fireballs wasnβt to injure, but to illuminate. When a fireball landed, the enemyβs formations on the plain were clearly visible. And at this time, the generals on the city walls instructed the soldiers holding torches to extinguish them, leaving only a few sparse fire pits for illumination. In this way, the whole battlefield situation was dramatically reversed.
Originally, the Cao Army was in the dark, and the Han soldiers were in the light. Now, the Cao Army on the ground couldnβt see the Han soldiers on the towering city walls. Even the soldiers wielding siege ladders couldnβt find a place to set them up.
Arrows rained down thickly from the city walls. Every moment, every second, someone would emit a fatal scream. What terrified the soldiers more was that there was no command to retreat from the rear, making it clear that under the current circumstances, they were just being sent to their deaths!
Xiahou Yuan, who was in charge of the night raid, naturally noticed this. Although unwilling, you were too clever, and this night raid was a complete failure. Xiahou Yuan had ordered a retreat a quarter of an hour ago, but to his surprise, the soldiers at the front did not return.
"Whatβs going on? Whereβs the messenger soldier?"
No one answered until two minutes later when a military general with an arrow in his shoulder galloped up and cried out to Xiahou Yuan, "General, quickly order the brothers to retreat, or our unit will be finished!"
"Nonsense, I already sent out a messenger soldier!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately said to his trusted aide by his side, "Quick! Sound the gongs! Retreat, retreat!"
Only after the sound of the gongs was heard did the wounded Cao soldiers retreat frantically, inevitably causing stampedes along the way.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a shadow leaped down from the twenty-meter-high city wall, landing with a crash.
At the same time, the east gate of Eastern Capital City suddenly opened, and a waited cavalry unit roared out!
"Follow me in the charge!"
It was your voice!
With a roar, you dashed forward. Your long knife gleamed in the firelight, swiftly decapitating two Cao soldiers!
No one expected you to personally lead the pursuit, further terrifying the already panicked Cao soldiers. In their confusion, many lost their lives to the terrifying cavalry.
Fortunately, you didnβt pursue far. After leading the cavalry in a swift attack and retreat, you returned to the city. Under the reflection of the firelight, you were like a God of Murder emerging from hell, covered in blood, with entrails and human organs hanging on your body, causing fear.
After returning to the city, you asked the deputy general who came running down from the wall, "Howβs the defense at the other three gates?"
"The enemy at the North Gate and East Gate has been repelled; no enemy appeared at the South Gate."
"Oh?" You looked slightly surprised, then laughed, "So the one attacking the South Gate should be that miser Liu Bei."
Youβre somewhat familiar with Liu Beiβs nature, knowing that the night raid wouldnβt yield any results, he didnβt participate, while causing some losses for Cao Cao and Sun Quan, which Liu Bei found pleasing.
At dawn the next day, as the sky just began to brighten, drumbeats erupted outside each side of the Eastern Capital City, rumbling like a thunderous clap, disturbing countless sleeping couples.
You were also awakened by these drums. As you opened your eyes, you discovered Zou Nan and Zheng Zhi had also awakened. As you sat up, the blanket slipped off, revealing the exquisite figures of the two women, filling the tent with delightful allure.
Suppressing the most primal male impulse, you jumped out of the Lotus Soft Canopy, quickly donned your armor, and strode out of the room.
After exiting, the two women heard your roar, "Drum! I told you to drum!"
You ate a bun and held a chicken leg as you leapt onto the South Gate city wall, eating your sumptuous breakfast while asking Tiger Boy, who was issuing orders to the subordinates, "Has the enemy attacked yet?"
"Reporting to The Emperor, that rascal Liu Bei hasnβt made any move, but Cao Cao has begun attacking the West Gate and North Gate."
You nodded and said, "Cao Cao often practiced sieging cities with Yuan Shao and LΓΌ Bu; his siege skills are much better than Sun Quanβs and Liu Beiβs. Looks like I have to oversee the West Gate personally."
Just as you turned, you looked back at Tiger Boy and said, "By the way, you must be wary of that pervert Liu Bei. His men are known for their cunning tricks; be very careful."
"Understood!"
The walls on all four sides of the Eastern Capital had two very special positions: a platform several meters higher than the wall.
Under the platform was a specially constructed house, guarded at all times, and no one was allowed near it.
Leaving the South Gate, you headed straight for the elevated platform on the right-hand side of the West Gate. As you approached the platform, you sprinted ahead, then leaped ten meters, landing on the midway point of the platform, and after a series of agile jumps, reached the top. Once on the platform, dozens of strong men ran over, together pushing out a gigantic spherical object from the house at the platformβs edge, with just its height reaching ten meters. If it werenβt spherical, even hundreds of people couldnβt move it.
