Chapter 504: The Bloodbath's Majesty
Chapter 504: The Bloodbath's Majesty
September 25, 2017
When it came to battle, Lu Hai Kong had never known fear.
He had been stealthily advancing, not seeking unnecessary fights, but this particular battle was one he deemed necessary.
His troops were running low on supplies, and without replenishing their resources within the city, their situation would become dire. At this point, Lu Hai Kong didn't bother with the after-effects of the 'Bloodthirsty Rampage' and decided to face the challenge head-on.
The Bloodbath Legion unleashed its bloodthirsty rampage, and under Lu Hai Kong's leadership, they turned and charged towards the approaching Yellow Turban army.
From Lu Zhi and Ding Yuan above to the ordinary soldiers below, everyone was stunned to see Lu Hai Kong's force of about a thousand soldiers cutting through the vast enemy army.
But as they regained their senses, everyone felt a sense of melancholy.
Even Lu Zhi couldn't help but notice that Lu Hai Kong had inadvertently created an image of a tragic hero, but unfortunately, Lu Hai Kong had no intention of embracing that role.
Lu Hai Kong had only one goal in mind: to annihilate the Yellow Turban army behind them!
As the Bloodbath Legion charged into the Yellow Turban army, the slaughter officially began.
With Dian Wei's strength reaching 95, Lu Hai Kong's strength at 85, and Zhao Er and Cheng Lian both at 83, these four generals led the charge as the spearhead of the army, closely followed by the Bloodbath Legion, which numbered less than a thousand.
After the 'Bloodthirsty Rampage' was activated, they no longer felt the constraints they had during the daytime assault on the Yellow Turban formation. They were unstoppable!
On top of the Wucheng city walls, Lu Zhi and the others watched in awe as this cavalry force of less than a thousand soldiers weaved through the Yellow Turban army, cutting down anyone who stood in their way.
They were like a sharp, black blade, slicing through the Yellow Turban army's defenses with ease, leaving a trail of blood and severed limbs in their wake.
Slaughter was never a pleasant sight, but at this moment, Lu Hai Kong's killing spree ignited the morale of the soldiers on the city walls, which had been flagging.
As wave after wave of Yellow Turban soldiers fell beneath Lu Hai Kong's blades, the soldiers on the walls couldn't help but feel their blood boiling with excitement.
Below the city walls, Lu Hai Kong was now too focused on the situation at hand to pay attention to the soldiers above. From the moment he turned and charged, his sole objective was to repel and defeat this Yellow Turban army, and he was confident he could achieve it!
This wave of Yellow Turban soldiers was substantial, numbering around thirty thousand, and they were all Yellow Turban Warriors.
After a day and night of intense fighting, Zhang Liang's strongest available force, under his personal command, was currently defending the military camp. Among his troops were two historical generals, Yan Zheng and Du Yuan.
In addition to the Yellow Turban Warriors, there was also a force of about three thousand Yellow Turban Warriors in the army, and they were no ordinary warriors—their strength in martial arts was at least 50 or higher.
However, Lu Hai Kong was too clever. He didn't engage with these Yellow Turban Warriors, as they were formidable infantry. Even though Lu Hai Kong had entered the enemy formation, he couldn't catch up with them.
Leading the Bloodbath Legion, Lu Hai Kong avoided the Yellow Turban Warriors and instead focused on slaughtering the Yellow Turban Warriors while searching for enemy generals within the army.
In such a massive army, eliminating the enemy's generals was the most efficient way to break their formation.
Unfortunately for the Yellow Turban army, about twenty minutes after Lu Hai Kong's legion charged in, he spotted Yan Zheng, one of Zhang Liang's historical generals.
Yan Zheng (Historical General)
Position: Yellow Turban General
Abilities:
Strength: 80, Politics: 45, Strategy: 40, Command: 55
Main Martial Art: Black Mystic Spear Technique
Main Skill: Black Mystic Heart Method
General Trait: Stealth Expertise
Stealth Expertise: Skilled in concealing oneself and subordinates, increasing the success rate of ambushes
Ironically, the general with the trait of stealth expertise was the first enemy general discovered by Lu Hai Kong as he charged into the Yellow Turban army.
Lu Hai Kong let out a cold laugh and waved his hand, leading the grand army towards the direction where Yan Zheng was located.
With Lu Hai Kong's intimidating aura, everyone knew his intentions. Yan Zheng, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. He had witnessed Lu Hai Kong's combat prowess before, and if Lu Hai Kong got close enough, it would mean certain death without a sound for Yan Zheng.
Yan Zheng's figure flickered, just as he was about to use his Warlord's trait to infiltrate and hide among the Yellow Turban army. At that moment, a whizzing sound pierced the air, and before the sound reached Yan Zheng's ears, the iron lance in Dian Wei's hand flew towards him, piercing straight into Yan Zheng's chest.
With Dian Wei's full force, how could a mere existence with a strength of 80 withstand it? Yan Zheng was instantly killed by Dian Wei.
As Yan Zheng was killed by Dian Wei's lance, the Yellow Turban army led by Yan Zheng immediately scattered.
Lu Hai Kong directly led the Bloodbath Legion to charge forward, and amidst the chaos, he picked up the items that Yan Zheng had dropped, then continued to charge ahead.
In the 1619 version of the book, it is impossible to stop them!
Zhang Liang's army couldn't hold back Lu Hai Kong and his group at all; they could only watch as Lu Hai Kong led the Bloodbath Legion to wreak havoc among their troops.
Initially, Zhang Liang had hoped that Lu Hai Kong's army would exhaust their strength and weaken, giving him an opportunity to strike. But damn, Lu Hai Kong's Bloodbath Legion seemed like perpetual motion machines.
After following Lu Hai Kong's charge through Zhang Liang's army for half an hour, Zhang Liang couldn't see any signs of fatigue in this legion. Instead, they fought with increasing bravery, their eyes burning with bloodlust like demons.
After witnessing Lu Hai Kong's slaying of Yan Zheng and their approach towards Du Yuan, Zhang Liang quickly reacted, attempting to block Lu Hai Kong's advance.
Zhang Liang's talent was unquestionable, but sometimes, even the most perfect military command is useless in the face of absolute violence.
After half an hour of charging, the entire Bloodbath Legion had reached its peak strength. Every single soldier had a strength value of 65. Could a legion of a thousand soldiers with strength values of 20 to 30 stop them?
The answer was, of course, an absolute no. They couldn't hold them back, not at all.
Even with Zhang Liang's thorough preparations, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Hai Kong led the Bloodbath Knights to break through his defenses, charging towards Du Yuan, and slaying Du Yuan, who also had a strength value of 80, on the spot.
Amidst the chaos of battle, Lu Hai Kong had killed two generals, and the momentum of his Bloodbath Knights reached its pinnacle.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong turned his head, locking his gaze onto Zhang Liang, and the Bloodbath Legion prepared to charge.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. They couldn't hold them back, and he knew it.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Liang made a swift decision, ordering his troops to withdraw in an organized manner.
This decision might seem cowardly, but it was also wise. If he didn't retreat, his fate would be no better than Zhang Bao's, and Lu Hai Kong might have to pay the price of sacrificing the entire Bloodbath Legion.
After Zhang Liang's army retreated, leaving Lu Zhi and the others dumbfounded, Lu Hai Kong led the Bloodbath Legion back to Wucheng, waving his hand to throw the heads of Yan Zheng and Du Yuan onto the city.
Lu Hai Kong spoke coldly, "Now, can you open the city gates?"
On top of Wucheng, there was dead silence. After a while, a deafening roar erupted from the soldiers, a roar of victory...
