Chapter 102

  Skulls rolling, on the white snowy ground, drawing red marks.

  "Roar!"

  Chi Hu and Ye De let out a loud roar, charging towards Cheng Da Lei without regard for their own lives. At the bridgehead were Qin Man and Zhao Zi Long, these people charged forward like ants rushing towards a fireball. Yet they continued to advance wave after wave, without any hesitation.

  Two iron spears swept across, and where the spearheads pointed, blood flowers bloomed.

  The final result——

  Death.

  Hu Erle and his group did not have a single survivor, all died at the bridgehead, their bodies scattered everywhere, with fatal wounds all in front.

  The sound of horseshoes echoed, and from a distance, Lu Hong led a group of people rushing over. When they were fifty paces away from the stone bridge, they suddenly reined in their horses and stopped.

  Hu Erle was actually killed by Cheng Da Lei!

  The most credible little king of Beiman Department, who was about to howl in all directions like a wolf on the cold land, actually died here.

  Died at the hands of a mountain bandit.

  Cheng Dali stood up in a pool of blood, the snow under his feet was very white, which made the blood on his face even redder.

  Suddenly, he smiled and bent down to pick up the head on the ground. Huerle watched him warily, subconsciously clenching the short knife on his body.

  "Lu Jiang, you're done for."

  A head flew through the air, rolling all the way to the horse's hooves. Hulun was still ferocious, but now he was in two pieces and no matter how ferocious he was, he couldn't do anything about this world anymore.

  Lu Hong was stunned for a moment.

  The Rong tribe invaded the border year after year, burning and killing, and called it "beating the grass valley". Lu Hong was a general guarding the border, often having battles with them, but to be honest, he had lost more than won, and frankly speaking, he had never won.

  Today, these dozen or so corpses and the head of a young prince are enough to promote Lu Hong's military rank. In practical terms, he can get a reward of thousands of acres of good land.

  "Hey, let's go!"

  Cheng Dalai shouted loudly and several people rode their horses away. The vast snowy land soon lost their traces.

  Today's matter, if Zhao Zilong didn't appear in time, the Hama Village would have been defeated. Cheng Dalai thought that all the credit was his own, and if he hadn't summoned him at the critical moment, how could they turn the tide? Of course, others didn't think so.

  According to Zhao Zilong himself, his surname is Zhao and his name is Zilong, but he is not called Zhao Yun. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up in the Zhang family with Liu, Guan, and Zhang as close as brothers. Especially towards Liu Bei, he had an extraordinary admiration.

  Cheng Dali stroked his chin, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Liu Bei's elegant appearance and refined features had nothing to do with him.

  Is this guy's charm really so weird?

  This time it is known that Liu Guan Zhang is in the frog village, and he has come specifically to join... Liu Bei.

  Cheng Dali was speechless.

  Everyone was grateful to Zhao Zilong, especially Qin Man and Lin Shaoyu. As martial artists, they admired Zhao Zilong's exceptional skills at such a young age, and each of them secretly envied him.

  In comparison, Lin Shaoyu this young wandering knight seems a bit less impressive.

  "Thanks a lot, Zhao brothers, for risking your lives to save us today. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to capture them." Qin Man.

  "A hero's affair is more important than life and death."

  "I really didn't expect that at your young age, you would have such excellent marksmanship. How did you manage to do it?" Lin Shaoyu.

  "With an fearless heart, one can soar in the sky."

  "My fourth brother is just bold, let alone a dozen people, even if it's thousands of troops and horses, he dares to rush in." Zhang Fei said proudly.

  "The gun is like a sudden clap of thunder, illuminating one's entire being."

  Huh?

  Cheng Dali rode on horseback, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zilong, feeling that the kid's words were a bit strange and familiar.

  Zhao Zilong snatched a horse from Hulü and just then Cheng Daoliang blocked his way, he looked up at Cheng Daoliang.

  "Excuse me, you're in the way."

  Cheng Dali

  It turns out this kid is a script expert, I wonder if apart from having terrible taste, his brain is also... not quite right.

  Several horses have trodden the long road, leaving a string of hoof prints in the snow.

  Cheng Dalai rode his horse on the way back to Huanwa Stockade, several people were chatting enthusiastically, he did not participate, and scenes of fighting with Hu Erle and others kept appearing in his mind.

  The Rong tribe's horsemanship is unmatched in the world.

  Today, Cheng Dairen deeply felt the meaning of these eight words and couldn't help but think: if the Rong tribe invaded again like thirty years ago, how would the empire resist the Rong cavalry?

  At this moment, Cheng Dairen has already entered the thinking domain of the Emperor.

  The war thirty years ago was a shame for the entire empire. In that war, the imperial people learned about the terror of the Rong tribe's cavalry. After that painful defeat, countless people were thinking about how to resist the Rong tribe's cavalry?

  Some advocate for infantry phalanx formation, with heavy armored soldiers resisting the nomadic cavalry's charge.

  Some advocated for a strong defense of the city, as the Rong tribe was skilled at rapid raids but lacked siege engines.

  Some also advocated for cavalry against cavalry... but the empire had no good horses and no one who was skilled at riding them.

  ……

  These methods are useful but limited, and ultimately cannot allow the empire to gain the upper hand in the process of annual border offenses by the Rong tribes.

  Up until now, the Empire has no effective way to counter the Xiongnu cavalry.

  Today is lucky to have Zhao Zilong appear in time, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable. Although Zhao Zilong is not Zhao Yun, looking at this potential afterwards will definitely be legendary, at least it's a high imitation version of Zhao Yun.

  Now that there is a high imitation version of Zhao Yun, it's not impossible that there will be a fake version of Lü Bu, a water goods version of Zhuge, and a Putian version of Fan Lihua... The problem in front of me is just how to summon them.

  Seven people walked on the road, Cheng Dalai took out a secret book from his arms and threw it to Zhang Fei.

  "Here, it's yours."

  Zhang Fei took it over and saw that the cover of the secret book had three words written on it: Three-Handed Spear

  "Great master, where did you get this from?" Zhang Fei took it over and was shocked: "This is actually my family's heirloom, but it was lost later."

  "Huh? Haven't you heard about how I was taught by a celestial being?"

  This secret book was naturally obtained by Cheng Dairen through a lottery, and at first glance, it was clear that it was tailored for Zhang Fei. Cheng Dairen had already flipped through it, and the moves recorded in this secret book were only three: one spear thrusts into the sky, one spear stabs the ground, and one spear chases pigs.

  Although the moves are simple and the name is silly, the secret book is of a transcendent level. Cheng Dairen can't help but think that perhaps the fewer moves a martial art has, the more powerful it becomes.

  Why does his own three-board axe feel so unsophisticated?

  Zhang Fei obtained a secret recipe and can be promoted to excellent level in a short time. But how should his own combat power be improved?

  If he really wants to retreat into the mountains and cultivate for another ten or eight years, Cheng Dalai doesn't have that much time. Last time the mountain stronghold level was upgraded by one level, his own combat power also rose with it. Does this mean that every time the mountain stronghold is upgraded, he can also upgrade himself?

  But for secondary shanzhai to be upgraded to tertiary, what conditions need to be met?

  Population, architecture, or is it about completing a specific task?

  There was no hint from the system at all, and he could only figure it out by himself.
