Chapter 987 Three Charges, Divine Light Saves the Day!
As the morning light shone through the smoke of battle onto Zhao Yun's blood-stained silver armor, the renowned general from Changshan, gazing at the crumbling Yellow Heaven Dharma Image, suddenly began to cough violently.
"Zilong..."
Shi Jingsi rode closer and saw that Zhao Yun's spear had some clearly visible cracks, and there was a deep crack at the shaft that revealed the bone.
"It's alright."
Zhao Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the Azure Dragon Star Array that had been reassembled on the west side of Calabash Valley.
"The Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou... truly lives up to its reputation as a valiant force capable of sweeping across the entire Great Qian Dynasty!"
At this moment, under the command of Meng Zhang on the Yellow Turban Army's command platform, the Azure Dragon Heavenly Deity Legion has once again transformed into a torrent of ink, regrouping and adjusting its formation at the rear.
Jiao Mujiao's dragon horn spear tip pointed directly at the central banner of the Qian army to their side, while Kang Jinlong's horse-slaying saber gleamed with a blood-red cold light in the morning light.
...
"Commander Meng, this humble general requests permission to fight!"
Meanwhile, on the command platform in the central army of the Yellow Turban Army, Li Cunxiao clashed his two weapons, the bronze spear and the Bi Yan mace striking each other with a resounding clang. Looking at the White Horse Cavalry charging left and right in the Star Formation, his throat was filled with lingering fighting spirit.
"Cunxiao, please go now. I, the commander, will await good news from the command platform."
Meng Zhang stroked his beard and chuckled, the scales on his Azure Dragon Armor gleaming with a blood-red glow in the morning sun.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Cunxiao grinned maliciously as he tucked Bi Yan's spear into his waistband. The tip of the bronze spear sliced across the ground, carving a three-foot-deep furrow.
He suddenly ripped open his black battle robe, revealing his bare upper body. His muscles were bulging with dragon patterns, and his iron-gray aura flowed across his skin like a living thing.
Behind him, 108 Flying Tiger Guards roared in unison, their eyes burning like torches beneath their black iron masks.
"Clear the way!"
With a roar, Li Cunxiao kicked the stirrups hard, and his black-scaled horse reared up with a loud neigh.
"Flying Tiger Cavalry! Follow me straight to the heart of the enemy!"
Li Cunxiao looked into the distance. On the main battlefield, Tan Mengjun's Xuan Turtle Shield Formation was torn open by Fang Ritu's rain of arrows, leaving three bloody gashes. Heavy swordsmen and Kang Jinlong's troops were locked in a fierce battle, and blood mixed with sparks on the ground evaporated into a crimson mist.
One hundred and eight black-armored cavalrymen responded and rode out, each with a faded apricot-yellow flag tied to their mane.
These guards who had fought alongside Li Cunxiao through thick and thin were all clad in three layers of lamellar armor, covered with soft armor with scales. The horses they rode, from the northern border of Daqian, were so fierce that they spewed out pale blue mist when they neighed—these were the "Cloud Mist Horses" specially bestowed by Meng Zhang, which could travel eight hundred li a day without foaming at the mouth.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's skills Divine General and Flying Tiger have been activated!"
Li Cunxiao's current base martial strength is 110. His weapons, Yuwang Spear and Biyan Claw, grant him +2 martial strength. His warhorse, Molin Qianlihun, grants him +1 martial strength. His skill, General God Effect II, grants +10 martial strength once. He is also in the Charge Formation state. General God Effect III grants +6 martial strength. His skill, Flying Tiger Effect I, grants +5 martial strength.
当前李存孝武力值110+2+1+10+5+5，当前武力值上升至134！」
"kill!"
Li Cunxiao slammed his bronze spear heavily into the ground, and eighteen powerful earth dragons suddenly emerged from the rock crevices.
These earth dragons, propelled by Bi Yanzhao, bared their fangs and claws, specifically targeting the Red Armor Army's formation to tear at its base. The riveted boots of the front-line heavy infantrymen instantly shattered, and they screamed as they fell into the suddenly collapsed pit.
Tan Mengjun swung his shield to knock away the earth dragon that was attacking him, only to see Li Cunxiao leading the Flying Tiger Cavalry to break through the outer perimeter.
"Loose the arrows! Shoot down those in black armor!"
The commander of the Red Armor Army, his eyes blazing with fury, cleaved through the rain of arrows with his saber.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Li Cunxiao sneered, and Bi Yan suddenly transformed into a black gold light curtain. The arrows that struck the chainmail were like mud oxen entering the sea, only scattering sparks.
With his left hand, he swept across the head, sending three heavily armored soldiers of the Red Armor Army flying. With his right hand, he flicked the tip of his spear, unleashing seven spear flowers that shattered all the armor-piercing spikes flying towards him.
"It's Li Cunxiao, the one who hates the heavens without a ring!"
Exclamations arose from the Red Armor Army ranks as they stared at Li Cunxiao, who exuded a menacing aura, like a demon god.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's skill Divine Effect 2 has been activated again, increasing his martial prowess by 4."
Current combat strength has increased to 138!
When the system notification sounded again, Li Cunxiao had already broken through the fifth line of defense of the Red Armor Army. His bronze spear, like a silver dragon probing the sea, had a ten-foot-long iron-gray aura at its tip, which cleaved a lieutenant general and his horse in two.
Tan Mengjun roared and urged his warhorse forward. Suddenly, the Mo family mechanism on the Xuan Turtle Shield was activated, and seventy-two poisonous caltrops popped out from the shield.
Li Cunxiao didn't even look at it. Suddenly, Bi Yan's black gold chain grew three zhang (approximately 10 meters) long, and the iron claws at the chain's head crushed all the poisonous caltrops.
"Get down here now!"
In the instant the two horses passed each other, his left hand hooked onto Tan Mengjun's belt, and the veins on his right arm bulged.
"clang!"
Tan Mengjun's saber struck Bi Yanzhao's gilded beast head, and the sparks ignited Li Cunxiao's battle robe.
The fierce general paid no heed, using the momentum of his blade to leap and flip in mid-air. His bronze spear slammed heavily onto the yin-yang fish pattern on the Xuan Turtle Shield. The sound of metal colliding with stone echoed through the valley. Tan Mengjun's tiger's mouth burst open, and he was directly knocked back and sent flying several feet away.
"Haha, utterly pathetic!"
Li Cunxiao wiped away the blood splattered on his brow bone. The flames on his battle robe flickered unpredictably due to the force of the qi. He looked at the red-armored army that had regrouped and suddenly thrust his bronze spear into the rocky ground.
"My men! Smash the Red Armor Army's tortoise shell!"
The Flying Tiger Cavalry responded in unison and immediately took down the Xuan Tie Heavy Bows. These "Tiger Warrior Bows," crafted by the Mohists, had ferocious Taotie patterns engraved on their bows, and the crossbow bolts were made of fine steel with arrowheads coated in Cangwu oil.
With Li Cunxiao's command, a hundred rockets transformed into crimson meteors, exploding into bursts of flames within the Red Armor Army formation.
"Shield Wall advance!"
Tan Mengjun, who had been casually knocked down by Li Cunxiao, was disheveled, and his Xuan Turtle Shield was covered with knife marks.
He watched as the Flying Tiger Cavalry charged through the flames, then suddenly took off the iron whistle from his waist. The sharp whistle pierced the battlefield, and a thousand heavily armored infantrymen behind him suddenly split into two groups, attempting to flank Li Cunxiao.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's skill Flying Tiger effect one has been activated three more times, increasing his martial prowess by 1 + 1 + 1."
Current combat strength has increased to 141!
As the system notification sounded, Li Cunxiao had already charged to within a hundred paces of the command platform. His bronze spear unleashed nine afterimages, cleaving the sword formation composed of Gu Changqing's personal guards into pieces.
The old general suddenly stood up, his golden-inlaid sword severing the candlestick on the corner of the table. Looking at Li Cunxiao charging through the sea of blood, he suddenly drew the Qiankun Twin Swords from his waist by an inch. The pearls on the sword tassels glowed with an eerie blue light in the firelight, but the scabbards were nowhere to be found.
"Yellow Turban rebels, still using the same old tricks!"
Gu Changqing's beard and hair stood on end, his scarlet battle robe fluttered without wind, and his withered hands pressed on the commander's flag. Suddenly, 100,000 county soldiers behind him shouted in unison, the sound waves even drowning out the carnage on the battlefield.
Li Cunxiao didn't even lift his eyelids, and suddenly the bronze spear transformed into nine cold beams of light.
The first strike shattered the flagpole, the second severed the scabbard of the golden-inlaid sword, and the third went straight for Gu Changqing's throat!
"clang!"
Amidst the clanging of metal, five-colored qi coiled around him like a dragon, firmly pressing Li Cunxiao's powerful bronze Yuwang spear against Gu Changqing's throat, just three inches away.
In the morning light, the three-foot-seven-inch black sword gleamed with a glassy luster of blue, yellow, red, black, and white. The peacock feather pattern engraved on the blade swirled with five-colored rosy light, and the necklace hanging from the hilt was made of golden feathers strung with beads.
The swordsman was clad in armor with five-colored cloud patterns. The armor was covered with blue scales like green waves, yellow patterns like gilded gold, red feathers like fiery clouds, black patterns like black iron, and white patterns like frost and snow. Five-colored qi flowed like lightning between the gaps in the armor.
The "Cloud Beast" beneath him treads on seven-colored clouds, and with each step, five-colored lotuses bloom beneath its hooves, revealing it to be a divine steed shrouded in five-colored mist.
