The Later Three Kingdoms: Slaying Deng Ai, and Reviving the Han Dynasty

Chapter 116 Duel of Two Heroes

Chapter 116 Duel of Two Heroes (Part 4)

"Waaaaah!!!!" The wind howled like ghosts and wolves.

In the valley, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, with corpses constantly being produced. The stench of blood drove the soldiers on both sides into a frenzy, their adrenaline surging, making them fearless.

Hunting is extremely difficult in this desolate land of the Northwest. The smell of blood also attracts many uninvited guests.

Countless bald creatures circled in the sky, their wings flapping and dropping feathers as they cried out excitedly, like blue demons eager for a feast.

The wolves and tigers danced together, hiding in the shadows and spying, but were momentarily intimidated by the terrifying murderous aura in the valley and dared not approach.

"kill!!!!!!!!"

The Han soldiers relied on their chariot formations to engage in a fierce battle with the Wei army.

The elite halberd-wielding soldiers standing at the front wielded their halberds, thrusting and slashing to kill any enemy that dared to attack. Their skills were like those of a martial saint honed through countless trials; every strike was perfectly timed, and every movement wasted not a single ounce of energy.

Clean and efficient.

The unarmored archers standing in the back row, working in conjunction with these elite halberd-armored soldiers, continuously drew their bows and arrows to shoot and help stabilize the defensive line.

At this point, you can't rely on the rate of fire; you have to aim carefully before shooting to avoid hurting your comrades.

The Han soldiers in leather armor were like bystanders, occasionally sneaking up to launch a surprise attack and pick up any stragglers.

This battlefield was far too dangerous for them, who were unarmored.

The Han army was extremely elite.

But they were facing the elite troops of Yongliang from the State of Wei.

They also knew that this was a battle where they were invincible, and that if they were defeated, everyone would die.

Only by winning can we survive.

They were like mad wolves, desperately trying to avoid fighting, yet risking their lives for their own survival.

Wipe out the Han army and kill Jiang Wei!!!

A Wei soldier, helmet missing, bravely charged through a gap in the chariots into the Han army's ranks. His hair disheveled and his armor stained with blood, he resembled a demon, his eyes red as he charged forward. The rows of Han halberdiers before him seemed like mere straw.

"Kill!!!!!" he roared, mustered his strength, and charged forward resolutely.

A group of Han soldiers with long halberds thrust out and killed him. But the halberd in his hand also wounded a Han soldier, causing the soldier to let out a painful groan.

"Step back." The Han army officer ordered the Han soldier to step back, and another Han soldier immediately filled the gap, allowing the wounded man to retreat to the rear to rest.

Even in the midst of fierce fighting, the Han army remained justified and based on sound reasoning. They did not simply resort to sacrificing lives.

They are battle-hardened veterans.

The strong prevail, the wounded retreat.

"Kill!!!!!" The death of this disheveled Wei halberdier did not frighten the Wei soldiers; on the contrary, it fueled their fighting spirit. They roared and charged forward, attempting to break through the Han army's formation.

First they held their ground, then they tore each other apart.

Once they break through the enemy lines, they can pounce like tigers and wolves, and crush the Han army in one fell swoop.

kill!!!!!!!!!!!

On each face, which looked different, was the same bloodthirsty expression, their eyes terrifyingly red.

They were terrified, they were excited, they wanted to kill!

The rear of the Wei army.

Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui, and Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, each rode a fine horse, holding a lance and ready for battle, while their hundreds of personal guards stood by without moving.

They were both the final reserves and the supervisory force. The gleaming white blades, like the claws of a demon, clearly told all the soldiers.

Those who move forward are to be expected.

Those who retreat will be killed without mercy.

"A reward of three hundred gold coins will be given for each general's head beheaded." While supervising the battle, an officer would occasionally shout this, tempting them with the promise of profit.

"Kill!!!!!" With no regard for the enemy, no retreat. Fueled by the lure of profit, the Wei soldiers' offensive surged wave after wave, seemingly never to cease.

"Kill!!!!" The Han army, relying on their chariot formation, were not afraid and roared fiercely, hoping to overwhelm the enemy in terms of morale.

"Kill!!!!!" General Lu Qubing led his elite personal guards, riding fine horses, braving the oncoming arrows, risking their lives, launching attacks from time to time, making it impossible for the Wei soldiers to launch a continuous offensive.

"Hahahaha!!!!!!!" Lu Qubing's face was covered in blood, and he had been shot three times in the chest. He had changed horses twice. Despite his injuries, his blood was boiling and he let out a wild laugh.

"I'll go kill him." Among the Wei cavalry, there was a man of considerable courage. Upon seeing Lu Qubing's head, he became incredibly bold and led more than ten riders to kill Lu Qubing.

"Ah!!!!!" The cavalryman was easily beheaded by Lu Qubing. With a scream, the headless corpse spurted out a large amount of blood and swayed before collapsing to the ground.

"kill!!!!!!!!!!!"

The close-quarters combat was incredibly brutal. It numbed the weak and propelled them forward, while the brave charged ahead with all their might.

The atmosphere on the battlefield seemed to possess a magical power.

It drove everyone into a frenzy.

Human life is like weeds by the roadside, not worth mentioning.

The blood stained the land in the valley red, a shocking sight.

There were countless severed limbs, disemboweled bodies, and even disemboweled organs.

Taniguchi.

Prefect Yang Xin of Jincheng rode a fine horse, with a banner bearing the character "Yang" fluttering above his head, making a sound in the strong wind.

More than 5,000 elite soldiers were arrayed to guard against any sneak attacks from the mountain paths.

These five thousand elite soldiers were also infected by the battlefield, and everyone's blood was boiling and their eyes began to turn bloodshot.

The battlefield was calling them; everyone's head was like a sapling in a storm, ready to snap at any moment.

The sounds of killing, the sound of wind.

The sound of flying sand and stones.

It transformed into the so-called golden spears and iron horses.

"This is the battlefield!!!!!" Yang Xin gently stroked his warhorse with his left hand to soothe his tense and anxious horse, while holding his long spear across his back with his right hand. Looking at the battlefield ahead, he uttered this exclamation.

Gradually, a blush appeared on his face. His face was flushed, and his eyes were both eager and sharp.

The general died on his deathbed, and his death was a fitting end.

If they don't die, they will be incredibly wealthy.

I really want Jiang Wei's head...

"General, there are smoke signals!" A guard on horseback beside Yang Xin was alertly looking around. Suddenly, he saw smoke signals rising on both sides and shouted.

Yang Xin's spirits lifted instantly, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. A serious expression appeared on his face, then he burst into laughter, saying, "Jiang Wei really did flank me from behind; a mere trick."

"Brave warriors, hold the valley entrance and fight Jiang Wei fiercely. Wait for General Deng to lead his main force. Kill Jiang Wei and rename this valley Luowei Valley."

As he spoke, he raised the lance that was held behind him and thrust it into the sky.

The sharp aura seemed to surge straight to the heavens, sweeping across the valley.

"Yes, sir!" The guards on either side responded loudly and then relayed the military order. Yang Xin's five thousand elite soldiers split into two groups, guarding the exit of the path and protecting the rear of the two groups of troops in front.

This allowed the two armies to fight the Shu army without any scruples.

The lighting of smoke signals indicated that scouts had discovered Jiang Wei's army. Not long after, Jiang Wei's army appeared before Yang Xin's forces.

Yang Xinjun's soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, tense yet excited, ready for battle.

Jiang Wei has arrived!!!

The head of Jiang Wei, the great general of the Han Dynasty.
