Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1740 - 1644: Proclaiming My Existence to the Mortal World
Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu simultaneously turned their heads, and in the next instant, that small dot appeared again in Lyu Qiling’s line of sight. Zhao Yun clearly saw it was the Golden-Winged Great Peng, whereas Ma Yunlu saw nothing, considering Lyu Qiling had once been capable of Inner Qi Manifestation.
"A scout eagle of the Northern Huns! It’s probably flying at a height of several thousand zhang. If my guess is correct, Marquis Chen is likely there. Xue Shao, Li Tiao, and you two stay behind; I’ll head over first to investigate!" Zhao Yun immediately spurred his horse, galloping madly towards the west.
Ma Yunlu also rushed out to follow, with Lyu Qiling soon charging after Zhao Yun, while Xue Shao and Li Tiao promptly chased after them. Ma Yunlu and Lyu Qiling were practically causing chaos.
Unfortunately, the two horses and the horses of the two girls were not of the same caliber at all. Within a few breaths, the distance had widened. Meanwhile, Zhao Yun’s Night Illuminating Jade Lion was even faster, taking just a couple of strides before leaping into the air and quickly becoming a small dot.
Zhao Yun’s speed was almost like a lightning strike, and the Night Illuminating Jade Lion beneath him understood the mindset of carrying its master and accelerated desperately, creating such a high speed that it even opened up a vacuum tunnel in the sky.
Sixty seconds later, Zhao Yun could already hear the sounds of battle; seventy seconds later, he could see the battlefield and, eighty seconds later, successfully reached the battleground five thousand meters away. Including the time spent on acceleration, the Night Illuminating Jade Lion had already reached its peak speed.
However, because of this terrifying speed, the Night Illuminating Jade Lion was exhausted. At a distance of three thousand meters, Zhao Yun saw the chaotic situation at the center of the battlefield, with Chen Xi and Zhou Yu surrounded, the vanguard cut through, the central forces disengaged, and the Hun Elite Cavalry about to charge into Zhou Yu’s main formation.
Even more frightening, the nearest enemies to the command carriage of Chen Xi and Zhou Yu were only a dozen steps away, indicating they were in a perilous situation.
Let’s rewind the clock a quarter of an hour; Zhou Yu had finally compressed the vanguard, with the Cloud Qi Formation’s adjustments mostly completed. He was just waiting for the right moment to show Chen Xi his prowess.
Honestly, Zhou Yu himself didn’t expect to be so formidable, withstanding the bombardment of ten thousand Hun Elite Cavalry while simultaneously reallocating forces to compress defenses, minimize losses, and secretly prepare a formation within a formation to deliver a severe blow to the Northern Huns. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Gongjin, can you handle it?" Chen Xi saw the Northern Huns closing to within fifty steps and some skilled archers among them beginning to shoot arrows at him and Zhou Yu. Although both of them were immune to arrows, it was unnerving to see.
"One incense stick’s time, at most one incense stick’s time, and I can break the Northern Huns’ front lines, join forces with our Wuhuan Cavalry, and break through the Miscellaneous Hun Cavalry!" Zhou Yu said proudly, having already maneuvered over two thousand soldiers.
"Alright, I believe in you!" Seeing Zhou Yu’s slightly disheveled form but unchanged proud demeanor, Chen Xi realized he wasn’t joking and immediately calmed down.
After one incense stick’s time, the Hun Elite Cavalry had advanced to within twenty steps of their carriage, and Zhou Yu’s hand was on his sword, ready to act. Meanwhile, Chen Xi inexplicably reached for his sleeve several times, unable to resist the urge to act himself.
At this moment, over a thousand Hun Elite Cavalry, who had been waiting in the rear, finally couldn’t hold back any longer, slowly advancing and increasing their speed, launching a deadly strike in organized formation towards Zhou Yu and Chen Xi’s military formation.
"Li Yan!" Zhou Yu roared, "Legion attack!"
Li Yan, surrounded by Hun Elite Cavalry at this moment, wasn’t in grave danger but couldn’t move freely. However, at Zhou Yu’s command, Li Yan took a blow and immediately swept his spear horizontally.
Originally suppressed and stagnant due to the Hun Elite Cavalry’s Cloud Qi, the Cloud Qi suddenly flowed. The Han Army’s unfilled void area was abruptly filled with a mass of uncompromised Qi.
A legion attack spanning dozens of zhang extended out from Li Yan’s horizontal sweep. Despite being heavily suppressed, it still cleared a sizable area in front, and Zhou Yu, laughing heartily, wielded his sword, leading the previously concealed central forces to break through.
Over two thousand Han soldiers, who had been maneuvering for an opportunity, seized the chance with the ruptured vanguard. Like a floodgate opening, they surged forward, launching an attack on the caught-off-guard Hun Elite Cavalry.
The legion attack might have killed less than two hundred soldiers, and the space it cleared barely allowed the Han’s vanguard to squeeze through. However, Zhou Yu’s keen eye dealt a preemptive blow to the Northern Huns when they were at their peak, delivering a fierce counterstrike.
This immediately halted the Hun Elite Cavalry, as over two thousand Han troops surged forward, quickly filling the previously empty space and counter-pressing towards the Hun Elite Cavalry, with the Hun Elite Cavalry suffering heavy blows and being pushed back by the infiltrating Han Army.
"Well done!" At this moment, even if Chen Xi wasn’t highly proficient in formation battles, he understood that Zhou Yu’s claim of breaking through could indeed be achieved.
As for their former front, now their rear, it was precisely the main force of Hun Elite Cavalry led by the Northern Huns’ Right Virtuous King waiting for an opportunity, To be honest, on such a chaotic battlefield, the Northern Huns would not be able to respond to such a sudden event without at least a quarter of an hour of dispatching, which was already enough time to break through.
