Chapter 1190: Killing Kong Qing
October 21, 2017
At the Capital Military Camp, in front of the Luoyang City's Coalition Army Camp.
When Lu Hai Kong led his generals into the battle, the outcome was almost certain.
Among the Coalition Army, even the strongest general, Lu Bu, couldn't defeat Wei Chigong, let alone the others.
The coalition leaders had no intention of engaging Lu Hai Kong directly. As Lu Hai Kong's generals charged forward, the coalition generals could only retreat to protect their respective monarchs and escort them to safety.
As one side advanced aggressively, the other retreated in disarray, using the million-strong alliance army as a buffer. Chaos ensued, and the coalition leaders once again felt the fear of being dominated by Lu Hai Kong.
Among the twelve coalition leaders, only a few managed to maintain their composure, while the rest fled in panic.
The most desperate among them was Kong Qing. He was well aware that at this moment, even if Lu Hai Kong captured any other leader, it might not be a big deal, but his own life was undoubtedly at stake.
He began to regret his foolish actions, but what good would regrets do now? If regrets were useful, then the word 'revenge' would lose its meaning.
The three Sui-Tang generals hadn't forgotten their mission. As the coalition leaders started to retreat, Cheng Yaojin and his two companions sprang into action. After handing over the spear-wielding youth and Xu Chu to Lu Hai Kong's group, the three of them, led by Wei Chigong, charged straight towards the retreating Kong Qing.
The three ferocious Sui-Tang generals attacked simultaneously, leaving Kong Qing with almost no escape route.
Although Kong Qing had sharp eyes and quickly realized the situation was unfavorable, leading him to retreat with Taishi Ci, Cheng Yaojin's group pursued them even faster.
Despite the coalition leaders' various considerations, they didn't want Kong Qing to be captured by Lu Hai Kong. But at this point, they had no spare energy to intervene. They were busy trying to escape from Lu Hai Kong's pursuit.
Although Cheng Yaojin's group was the main focus of this battle from various perspectives, it didn't mean they could ignore Lu Hai Kong and his forces.
Among the group of powerful generals chasing from behind were Huang Zhong and Lu Hai Kong, whose strength far surpassed Cheng Yaojin's trio, as well as Dian Wei, who was on par with them and even slightly more formidable.
Additionally, there were fierce warriors like Yan Liang, Wen U, Gao Lan, and Zhang Liao, making it impossible for the coalition leaders to resist. They could only continue retreating.
However, the coalition leaders weren't just retreating blindly. They hadn't been idle for the past three days. The reason Lu Hai Kong didn't directly charge into the coalition army camp at the beginning was that he was well aware of the coalition's decapitation strategy, specifically targeting him. They had set up numerous traps within the camp, utilizing elite soldiers, military equipment, and various tools.
These traps were originally designed for defense, and the coalition leaders believed that using them against Lu Hai Kong was an excellent idea.
What they didn't anticipate was that their so-called traps were completely useless against Lu Hai Kong's group.
Firstly, Lu Hai Kong's forces were incredibly powerful, and many of the traps were designed to counter cavalry charges, rendering them ineffective against a group of top-tier generals.
Despite this, what was even more crucial was that the vassals had set up various traps that posed a significant threat even to top-tier generals, in addition to the one trap designed specifically to counter cavalry. However, it was as if Lu Hai Kong and his team had foreseen these dangers, as they effortlessly avoided them without hesitation.
When faced with threatening obstacles, they charged through, and when faced with non-threatening ones, they bypassed them. Under Lu Hai Kong's leadership, over a dozen elite generals advanced with all their might, slaughtering their enemies like mowing down grass, causing the twelve vassal forces to scatter in disarray.
With Lu Hai Kong's overwhelming presence, the vassals had no choice but to watch helplessly as Cheng Yaojin, Wei Chigong, and Dian Wei pursued Kong Qing, unable to offer any assistance.
What was even more intriguing was that while avoiding Lu Hai Kong's attacks, the vassals also inadvertently avoided Kong Qing, steering clear of his retreat route. No one wanted to be associated with Kong Qing, as doing so might attract the attention of Cheng Yaojin's group.
It was evident that Kong Qing had been abandoned at this point. He had no choice but to rely solely on his own strength to escape or resist Cheng Yaojin's pursuit.
Naturally, Kong Qing would choose to escape if given the option. Despite his early actions and the coalition's various means to restrain Cheng Yaojin's group, these methods proved ineffective against their relentless assault.
No matter what Kong Qing did, Cheng Yaojin's group steadily closed in on him.
With no other choice, Kong Qing could only resist, but what could he do?
His most formidable general, Taishi Ci, had been injured by Wei Chigong from the start. Aside from Taishi Ci, there was only Niu Jin, a fierce warrior with a strength of over 90. Could these two alone stop Cheng Yaojin's group? It was a foolish notion.
Although these two generals were valiant, even when faced with overwhelming odds, they would sacrifice themselves to buy time for Kong Qing. But their sacrifices were in vain, as the power gap was too vast. These two were swiftly subdued by Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, while Cheng Yaojin brandished his war axe and charged directly at Kong Qing.
As the saying goes, 'In the face of overwhelming odds, even the strongest will falter.'
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's fierce and determined approach, Kong Qing's face contorted in terror. He was well aware that he was not a historical general, and if caught, his fate would be sealed.
Regret, fear, and various emotions brewed within him, ultimately driving him to madness.
"Damn it! Don't come near me!" Kong Qing shouted.
He knew that his only option was to fight with all his might. Kong Qing pulled out all the stops, using every trick he had, but his efforts were futile. The power gap was simply too immense. Despite Kong Qing's desperate counterattacks, Cheng Yaojin's axes shattered his defenses, slowly but surely closing in on him.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Tell Lu Hai Kong that I can give him everything I have, and we can talk..." Kong Qing pleaded.
"Sorry, but my lord has no interest in talking to you," Cheng Yaojin replied with a seemingly simple-minded smile.
With that, Cheng Yaojin's axe fell, and the once-powerful Kong Qing was slain on the spot.
