Chapter 489: Slaying a Historical General
Chapter 489: Slaying a Historical General
September 25, 2017
Liangqi's military camp was a crucial supply depot, housing provisions for hundreds of thousands of troops at the frontlines. With Zhang Jiao's brothers' intelligence and the Yellow Turbans' capabilities, it was impossible for them to neglect such a vital location.
Zhang Bao's arrival was merely an unexpected event. Before his arrival, the camp was guarded by Gao Sheng, one of Zhang Bao's subordinates.
As Lu HaiKong charged into the camp, Gao Sheng, along with the Yellow Turban Zealots, came to greet him.
In this era, generals were often the most eye-catching figures on the battlefield. Riding on 'Little Lu Zi', Lu HaiKong crushed his way forward, and the first person he spotted was Gao Sheng from the opposing camp.
Gao Sheng (Historical General)
Identity: Yellow Turban General
Abilities:
Martial: 82, Politics: 57, Strategy: 56, Command: 65
Main Cultivation Technique: Earthbound Heart Technique
Main Martial Skill: Earthbound Blade Technique
General Trait: Blood Scenting Aura
Blood Scenting Aura: An auxiliary trait that allows the general to sense the general situation of a battle through the blood left on the battlefield within two days after the battle has ended.
Gao Sheng, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was speared by Zhang Fei. However, his strength is surprisingly formidable.
Of course, his strength does not lie primarily in his martial prowess. Although a Martial score of 82 is impressive, Lu HaiKong is more intrigued by Gao Sheng's general trait. This is the first time Lu HaiKong has encountered a purely auxiliary general trait. While it doesn't directly enhance the combat power of his troops, it provides significant assistance on the battlefield.
However, being noticed by Lu HaiKong on the battlefield is not necessarily a good thing.
"Little Lu Zi, do you see that person? Charge!"
At Lu HaiKong's command, Little Lu Zi became excited and rushed towards Gao Sheng, spreading its legs and charging forward.
The Little Lu Zi, with its inherent ability and being a mount, was terrifyingly fast and powerful. With Lu HaiKong on its back and Dian Wei by its side, they charged towards Gao Sheng with unstoppable momentum.
"Not good! Their target is me!"
Gao Sheng quickly reacted, but upon seeing the unstoppable force of Lu HaiKong and Dian Wei, he was ready to retreat. However, it was already too late!
Indeed, the soldiers under Gao Sheng were strong, but compared to Lu HaiKong, they were like a world apart. They couldn't possibly stop Lu HaiKong and Dian Wei's advance. In this situation, with Lu HaiKong's focus on Gao Sheng, the latter had nowhere to escape.
Soon, Lu HaiKong reached Gao Sheng. With the activation of Unmatched Tyrant, Gao Sheng's Martial score was instantly suppressed to 79. Lu HaiKong lifted his axe and, with a single swing, slew Gao Sheng, a historical general with a Martial score of 82, without giving him a chance to react.
[Congratulations on defeating the historical Yellow Turban general Gao Sheng. You have gained 500,000 merit points for the Han Dynasty Camp.]
[You have successfully defeated the historical general Gao Sheng and obtained a Yellow Turban treasure chest and 150,000 skill experience.]
The rewards for defeating a historical general with a Martial score of 82 were astonishingly high, five times the amount for capturing a regular county. Lu HaiKong wasn't sure if this was a system glitch or a measure to prevent outsiders from capturing counties to gain merit points.
Without further investigation, Lu HaiKong picked up the items that Gao Sheng had dropped and looked around to see if there were any other historical generals.
At this moment, historical generals in Lu HaiKong's eyes were like bosses in a game. It seemed like Lu HaiKong was preparing to defeat bosses to earn treasure chests and martial soul stones.
The historical warrior generals among the Yellow Turbans were limited, unless the Yellow Turban Mystics could recruit some originally non-Yellow Turban historical generals, otherwise there wouldn't be many. It's already impressive to have someone like Gao Sheng in this barracks; how could there be more?
Lu Haikong scanned the area but didn't spot any historical generals. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the burning granary in the barracks had somehow extinguished. Lu Haikong realized that something seemed amiss.
"Nan Li, Cheng Lian, this place is yours! Crush these Yellow Turban soldiers!" Lu Haikong commanded loudly.
He then turned and called out to Dian Wei, rushing towards the direction of the granary that was previously engulfed in flames.
At the same time, over at the granary...
Ma Pin, an assassin-type, moved like a trail of dark smoke among the Yellow Turban warriors.
In the blink of an eye, with exceptional agility, he arrived beside Zhang Bao. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and with a twist of the Ghost Fang in his hand, he stabbed towards Zhang Bao's neck.
At this moment, Zhang Bao stood like a wooden statue, unmoving in the face of Ma Pin's attack, allowing the blade to pierce his neck.
But as Ma Pin's Ghost Fang entered Zhang Bao's neck, he immediately realized something was amiss.
On the Ghost Fang, there was no resistance at all. Although it was exceptionally sharp, it couldn't possibly be this sharp.
A 6, 9, 1, and 9 appeared in a row, and it was indeed the correct version!
Just as Ma Pin realized something was wrong, Zhang Bao, standing before him, transformed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
At the same time, a flame erupted from beneath Ma Pin's feet. Ma Pin's face paled, and with a quick dodge, a Yellow Turban warrior, clearly different from the others, his entire body radiating golden light, charged forward and punched Ma Pin, who was suspended in mid-air, sending him flying on the spot.
The punch was incredibly heavy, and Ma Pin was knocked back several dozen meters, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"A half-human, half-ghost dares to strike at me? Truly clueless about life and death!"
As a cold voice rang out, Zhang Bao's figure appeared over a hundred meters away from Ma Pin.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban warriors under Zhang Bao's command sprang into action, rushing towards Ma Pin.
Seeing this, Ma Pin, bleeding from his mouth, had a flash of black light in his eyes, just as he was about to activate his warrior trait, Ghostly Unmatched.
Zhang Bao, over a hundred meters away, seemed to sense something and dismissively waved his hand, instantly dispersing the ghostly aura around Ma Pin, preventing him from even activating his warrior trait.
"If it were an ordinary warrior, I might need to exert some effort, but for a half-human, half-ghost thing like you, I would only dirty my hands if I didn't destroy you in an instant!"
Indeed, Ma Pin was unlucky to encounter Zhang Bao, who practiced Daoist spells and had a natural advantage over him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a dire situation.
But at this point, there was nothing to say. The Yellow Turban warriors who had previously been created from beans surrounded him.
Seeing their aggressive approach, it was clear they intended to finish Ma Pin off.
Just as Ma Pin was about to be torn apart by these Yellow Turban warriors, suddenly, a fierce sound of breaking through the air rang out.
Before the sound could even finish, the Yellow Turban warriors rushing towards Ma Pin were blasted open by a pair of iron halberds.
Immediately after, Lu Haikong, riding on 'Little Lu Zi', charged forward, wielding the Wilderness Axe.
"Who dares to lay a hand on Lu Haikong's people? Do you think Lu Haikong's axe is blunt?"
