Chapter 1010: Ironclad Divine Might (2)
2017-09-25
The Iron Blood Cavalry was renowned across the land as the strongest cavalry force, but this recognition was not universal. Lu Bu, for one, strongly disagreed with this notion.
Lu Bu firmly believed that the Flying Wolf Cavalry, which he had painstakingly cultivated, would not be outdone by the Iron Blood Cavalry.
In fact, Lu Bu's Flying Wolf Cavalry was indeed exceptional.
After all, they were led by a martial general who was originally considered the strongest, and they had the entire Western Liang Iron Cavalry as their recruitment base. Each member of the Flying Wolf Cavalry was among the elite of Liangzhou's cavalry. With Emperor's Tyrant's vigorous cultivation, the Flying Wolf Cavalry was formidable in both their troop attributes and individual strength.
In Liangzhou, they had established numerous outstanding military achievements for Emperor's Tyrant, becoming a symbol of his most formidable soldiers.
This cavalry force was indeed formidable, not inferior to the Iron Blood Cavalry in terms of strength. However, the Flying Wolf Cavalry's prowess had one prerequisite: the presence of Lu Bu, the Head Wolf. Without him, their combat effectiveness would be significantly reduced.
Xu Rong was well aware of this, and he also knew that without Lu Bu, it would be nearly impossible for the Flying Wolf Cavalry to defeat the Iron Blood Cavalry.
Fortunately, Xu Rong never intended for the Flying Wolf Cavalry to completely crush the Iron Blood Cavalry. He only needed them to hold off the Iron Blood Cavalry for half an hour.
With this time, Xu Rong was confident that he could keep the Iron Blood Cavalry at bay, and this was his last hope. If the Flying Wolf Cavalry couldn't stop them, Xu Rong knew this battle would be lost.
Carrying Xu Rong's last hope, the Flying Wolf Cavalry set out.
The Flying Wolf Cavalry numbered less than three thousand, but each soldier was the cream of the crop among the elite. Even without their Head Wolf, the Flying Wolf Cavalry exuded wildness, unafraid of the charging Iron Blood Cavalry.
"Flying Wolf, Invincible!"
With a unified battle cry, the Flying Wolf Cavalry charged towards the oncoming Iron Blood Cavalry.
Despite Lu Bu's absence, the three thousand Flying Wolf Cavalry still exuded a fierce aura of wolf-like strength as they charged.
"Well done, well done! Truly worthy of the name Flying Wolf Cavalry! With such military might, we can take down the Iron Blood Cavalry!"
Feeling the wolfish aura of the Flying Wolf Cavalry, Xu Rong's eyes shone with admiration, and a rare smile appeared on his face as he praised them endlessly.
Even as he praised them, Xu Rong's hands didn't stop moving. With the Flying Wolf Cavalry's cooperation, he began to make his arrangements.
At this moment, he wasn't trying to annihilate the Iron Blood Cavalry; he was merely preparing for the moment when the Iron Blood Cavalry and the Flying Wolf Cavalry would clash head-on.
As soon as the Iron Blood Cavalry halted, Xu Rong was determined not to let them escape again.
"We must stop them! This is our last chance!"
After several minutes of Xu Rong's anticipation, the Flying Wolf Cavalry, charging at full speed, finally collided with the Iron Blood Cavalry.
In that instant of collision between the two elite cavalry forces, Xu Rong, in a daze, seemed to hear a crisp 'crack,' as if something had shattered.
Xu Rong knew exactly what he wanted to hear shattering.
On the battlefield, when the crimson Iron Blood Cavalry and the Flying Wolf Cavalry clashed, the scene Xu Rong had hoped for did not unfold.
Even though the martial general of the Iron Blood Cavalry was at the rear, effectively leaving them without a leader, in this clash of equals, the crimson Iron Blood Cavalry effortlessly shattered the Flying Wolf Cavalry, filled with wolfish strength!
In the moment of collision, Xu Rong keenly felt the helplessness of trying to break a stone with an egg.
The Iron Blood Cavalry effortlessly overwhelmed the Flying Wolf Cavalry, breaking through their ranks. While the Flying Wolf Cavalry did pose some obstruction, it was not enough to halt their advance.
Indeed, the Flying Wolf Cavalry was powerful, but their strength was heavily dependent on Lu Bu. Without him, their combat effectiveness plummeted.
However, this was not the primary reason for the Flying Wolf Cavalry's defeat by the Iron Blood Cavalry. The main reason was rather mundane and had nothing to do with blood, aura, or determination. It boiled down to one thing: money!
Indeed, the Flying Wolf Cavalry...
It was true that Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo had wholeheartedly supported and nurtured Xu Rong, but damn, the wealth of the Dong Zhuo family couldn't compare to Lu HaiKong's riches.
Take a look at the Flying Wolf Cavalry's equipment. They were all equipped with Elite Tier gear, which was already a rare sight across the land. Their mounts were also top-notch, and this setup alone was enough to decimate most opponents. But in front of Lu HaiKong, it was as good as nothing.
The Iron Blood Cavalry, on the other hand, was equipped with Superior Tier gear, and their mounts were even of Demi-beast Level. The disparity in equipment between the two sides directly led to the Flying Wolf Cavalry's crushing defeat.
With inferior mounts, their charge was no match for the enemy. With inferior equipment, their striking power was also weaker. In this state, it was no wonder that the Flying Wolf Cavalry crumbled at the first sign of resistance.
"It's over, we're done for!"
Xu Rong's face turned ashen as he watched the Iron Blood Cavalry scatter his Flying Wolf Cavalry.
He was well aware that this battle was a complete loss for him.
His tactics were laid out, seemingly perfect, but they were a double-edged sword. If he couldn't defeat the Iron Blood Cavalry, he would soon face a two-front assault, making the battle extremely challenging.
At this moment, Xu Rong couldn't help but regret not heeding Jia Xu's advice to retreat earlier.
But it was too late for regrets now.
"Report! Lu HaiKong's army has reached the outskirts of our camp!"
Misfortunes never come singly. Just as Xu Rong was reeling from a devastating blow, Wang Ti's army arrived on the other side.
The messenger's report darkened Xu Rong's face, but he quickly composed himself.
"They're here so fast. It seems they're eager to claim their spoils of war. But taking down my West Liang army won't be that easy. They'll have to lose a few teeth before they can taste this fruit of victory!"
Xu Rong's eyes narrowed, ready to issue orders.
However, just as the messenger's news had barely arrived, another messenger appeared.
"Report! Lu HaiKong's army has broken through our defenses and is attacking our camp!"
Immediately after, Xu Rong witnessed a massive fire dragon charging into their camp, effortlessly tearing through his carefully planned defenses.
"How is this possible? How could they breach our defenses so quickly?" Xu Rong's face paled in shock.
At this point, Xu Rong no longer needed messengers.
As Wang Ti's army entered the range of his commander skill, he could sense their unstoppable momentum.
While Xu Rong had made thorough preparations, nearly all his high-ranking generals were engaged with the Iron Blood Cavalry, leaving no one to stop Huang Zhong and the two young generals by his side.
With these three leading the way, Wang Ti's army advanced with unstoppable force.
Despite Xu Rong's quick reaction and focused command to resist Wang Ti's army, it was already too late. His forces couldn't halt their advance.
Xu Rong had initially believed that with his command abilities and well-prepared defenses, he could easily withstand Wang Ti's assault for several hours.
However, upon contact, he realized they were unstoppable.
Under Wang Ti's command, his army was like a flood, overwhelming all of Xu Rong's preparations with ease. This honorable and grand display of majestic might left Xu Rong helpless.
"We've lost, completely and utterly!"
Xu Rong knew they had truly and utterly been defeated.
"Defeat is certain, but there's no need to be so disheartened. Let's proceed as we planned earlier!"
As Xu Rong's face sank in despair, Jia Xu appeared behind him, ignoring the unstoppable might of Wang Ti's army, and spoke with narrowed eyes.
Hearing this, Xu Rong's face darkened, hesitating for a moment before reluctantly nodding.
At the same time, within the camp, soldiers who had been prepared for this moment, thinking they wouldn't need to be deployed, sprang into action.
On the other side, outside Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo's camp, tens of thousands of West Liang iron cavalry were galloping.
It was clear that Jia Xu had finally made his move, and no one knew what tricks he had up his sleeve...
