♂?,,
In the 13th year of Jianan, at Yangping Slope.
The autumn wind is mournful, the sky and earth are a vast expanse of gray. The fierce wind whisks up countless withered leaves and dust, the swirling dust and dirt covering up the suns rays.
Liu Fengs gaze followed the main road northward, and at the end of the plain, in the rolling dust and mist, there was a thin black line slowly crawling.
Have I finally been caught up with?
The wind hit the gun handle in his hand, making a crisp crackling sound. Liu Fengs sword eyebrows condensed into a line, and he tightened his iron armor again. The tendons on the back of his hand stood out like tree roots, and he gripped the steel spear even tighter.
To this day, Liu Feng still cant figure out how he came to this era. He only remembers that a few months ago, his company organized a trip to the Han River, the cruise ship capsized, and he unfortunately drowned and fainted. When he woke up, he inexplicably became the adopted son of the famous imperial uncle Liu Bei.
The initial fear and anxiety are still unbearable to recall, however, the nightmare has just begun.
Soon after, Liu Beis own son Liu Shan was born. Liu Feng knew well what the birth of that ignorant little child meant for himself.
That means that no matter how hard he tries, in the end, for the sake of paving the way for his biological son, Liu Bei will inevitably choose to sacrifice this foster son who has no blood relationship with him.
Resigned to ones fate?
No, absolutely not! With knowledge of history spanning over a thousand years, with my brain, I will definitely be able to create a future!
Liu Feng was not resigned to his fate, but he didnt have time to plan for a distant future now. The most important thing at the moment was how to get through this impending disaster that was just around the corner.
Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to conquer Jingzhou in the south. The weak and timid Liu Biao was shocked and died. His incompetent successor, Liu Cong, surrendered with over 100,000 troops.
As Liu Beis son, Liu Feng had no other choice but to follow his father and the 100,000 people of Jingzhou, retreating southward from Fancheng to Jiangling at a snails pace.
The dark line at the edge of the sky grew thicker and heavier, a distant and drawn-out horn sounded from the horizon, hollow as if it came from another world.
From Hell.
In the infantry formation of two thousand people, a burst of weapon unsheathing sounds rang out, soldiers tightly grasped their weapons, eyes wide open, anxiously looking around at the enemy who was about to arrive.
The earth is shaking, eardrums are rumbling, the yellow sky sets off the withered fields, fierce winds howl by my ears, cutting across my face like a knife.
These Liu family soldiers, unlike before, no longer fled in disarray at the sight of Caos army. After being trained and drilled by Zhuge Kongming, their military discipline and bravery had greatly improved from before. At this time, they had overcome their phobia of Cao and were calm and composed, with a strong determination to fight.
Liu Feng didnt have the confidence though.
The end of the road, the black line is getting thicker and heavier, and the speed of moving south is also getting faster.
Under the accompaniment of distant thunder and trembling earth, the enemys image finally burst into view. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, the air was stifling, and everyones expression was petrified with unprecedented horror, even Liu Fengs face turned pale.
That was not an ordinary Cao army, but a cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that shook the world.
As expected by Liu Feng, Cao Zhen led 5,000 elite cavalrymen to launch a surprise attack on the enemy under the cover of night.
From Xiangyang to Changban Slope, a journey of three hundred miles, what a terrifying momentum!
Apart from Liu Feng, no one expected Cao Zhen to do this. He could have stayed in the southern part of the army and followed Liu Beis safe retreat, but instead he was arranged by Liu Bei to guard the rear and protect his family. Now, he had to use 2,000 infantrymen to resist the impact of the Tiger and Leopard Iron Cavalry.
"Alright, Im not going to die here. Ill pretend to put up a bit of a fight and then retreat southwards as soon as possible. After all, I have my horse, so saving my life shouldnt be a problem."
"Dont panic, get ready to fight!"
Liu Feng remained extremely calm and loudly encouraged the frightened soldiers, but quietly moved his position a few steps back.
In a hopeless situation, Liu Feng could only hope that the soldiers in front of him would slow down the Hu and Bao cavalry for a moment, to gain more retreat time for himself and the 1 million civilians behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry had arrived within three hundred paces. The massive wedge-shaped formation composed of over a thousand iron-clad tiger and leopard cavalry was like a flood bursting through a dam, carrying with it an unstoppable momentum that destroyed everything in its path, as if mountains were crumbling and rocks shattering, surging towards the Liu familys infantry array to the due south.
In an instant, Liu Fengs field of vision was occupied by the enemy cavalry, his eardrums filled with a deafening roar, that powerful rhythm, stirring his heart to almost jump out of his chest.
The hundred or more cavalrymen at the forefront lowered their spears, pointing them towards the sky, and merged over a hundred cold blades into a giant arrowhead that shook heaven and earth, tearing through the air like the fangs of the god of death rushing towards you.
The awe-inspiring power of the heavens and earth instantly crushed the Liu family armys will to resist.
The soldiers in the front row looked at each other in terror, the braver ones were still looking around, while the timid ones had already started to turn their heads and run away. The officers who were pressing the array shouted repeatedly, but the number of people running away was increasing, and even killing a few fleeing soldiers could not stop the trend of collapse.
The originally neat and uniform infantry formation was like a glass wall. Once it was hit, the entire wall would shatter into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, everything collapsed.
Watching the soldiers fleeing in disarray, Liu Feng finally understood what "the defeat of the army is like a mountain collapse". The infantry fighting against the cavalry on the open plain still had a glimmer of hope for survival if they formed a tight formation, but once they collapsed, there was only one way to die. How could their legs outrun the horses?
The defeat was within Liu Fengs expectations, only he didnt think it would be so quick, he could only sigh silently, rein in his horse and turn around to join the fleeing crowd.
The civilians who fled south were originally intimidated by the name of Caos army and blindly followed Lius army south. The 100,000 old and young people marched south for more than ten days, and now they are exhausted. As soon as they heard that Caos army was pursuing them, they collapsed before Lius rear guard line was broken.
One hundred thousand people, like a swarm of ants, rushed wildly in all directions on the open plain, without direction or goal, just blindly following the crowd, sometimes surging east and sometimes rushing west.
The target of the Tiger and Leopard Riders was clearly not these ignorant commoners. One thousand iron riders, like beasts out of a cage, charged into the flock, their blades ruthlessly cutting down the commoners who blocked their advance, trampling over their corpses as they marched forward with heads held high.
As Liu Feng galloped on horseback, he suddenly turned his head and was shocked by the stunning scene before him.
Behind, everywhere was blood and corpses, fresh blood soaked every inch of land, forming a large area of dark red mud that made people feel nauseous. The bloody ground stretched along the southern highway, spreading out to both east and west wings, countless incomplete limbs and shattered skulls scattered on it, as if embroidered with crimson on a large red carpet.
Is this chaos?
Liu Feng didnt dare to look back, fearing that another glance at the miserable scene like a Shura hell would weaken his will to survive. He spurred on his horse, trying to speed up his journey southward, but the chaotic flow of refugees slowed him down.
Liu Feng could open up a bloody path with the spear in his hand, just like the Tiger and Leopard Riders. In the chaos of war, no one would have thought that the eldest son of the Liu family would actually lay poisonous hands on his own people.
Liu Feng didnt have one though.
In the slow pace, the enemy cavalry had approached. Liu Fengs target was more conspicuous on horseback, and a soldiers head was obviously worth more than a civilians to invite merit, three tiger leopard riders locked onto Liu Feng, slanting their spears as they surrounded him.
As soon as the first cavalryman approached, the spear in his hand sank and rose, carrying a sharp and fierce energy, stabbing towards Liu Fengs chest.
Liu Feng inherited not only the "body" but also its original martial skills. Although he had only grasped 70% of them in a few months, it was enough to make him look down on his enemies. Liu Fengs only concern was that once they engaged in battle, even a slight delay would attract more enemies.
It is necessary to end the war quickly.
With a sudden movement, Liu Feng urged his horse forward, and the warhorse burst out from under him. With a swift stretch of his arm, he drew out his silver spear, which transformed into multiple spear shadows, shooting towards the enemy like a fierce storm.
As soon as the move was made, the enemy cavalry knew that their opponent was not to be underestimated. They hastily attached the halberd blade to the silver spear and used force to twist it, hoping to shake off the incoming spear technique.
At the moment when the swords and spears intersected, the gun shadow flashed suddenly, and the silver gun shot out from Liu Fengs left waist. The enemy cavalry was shocked and lost color, and before they could figure out how this young general had exchanged his right-hand spear for his left hand in an instant, a lightning-fast strike had arrived.
Pfft!
That tiger and leopard cavalry flew off their horses, fell heavily to the ground, a red star on his brow rapidly expanding, blood gushing out like molten rock.
"Its too unbelievable, I didnt think my martial skills would be so formidable."
The remaining two enemies saw their companion being killed by a young enemy general, and suddenly they were enraged, furiously wielding their weapons to attack Liu Feng together, with one sword and one axe, in the midst of shouting voices, they went straight for Liu Feng.
At this moment, Liu Fengs confidence increased after killing the enemy with one blow. He held his silver spear high and rode forward to meet them.
At the moment when the three horses converged, the enemy on the left wing suddenly let out a loud shout, like a thunderclap on a clear day. He swiftly dismounted and jumped up, looking down from above, with his large knife shining brightly, cutting through the strong wind, towards Liu Fengs topknot. The momentum of the knife was so powerful that it seemed to have the intention of chopping him into powder along with his horse.
At the same time, the right-wing enemy Han sat on his horse, opened his axe, and made a horizontal sweep of thousands of troops, sweeping towards Liu Fengs waist. The dust raised by the horses hooves rose with the axe blade, like a stream of smoke rolling away. This sweep was full of energy, and if one were to take the blow, they would be cut in two at the waist.
Seamless coordination.
Those two made their move, and Liu Feng couldnt help but secretly praise them. People say that the Tiger and Leopard Riders are all top-notch warriors, handpicked from a hundred miles around; now that hes seen them in action, it seems the reputation is well-deserved.
But these evil spirits were not facing ordinary Liu family soldiers.
Liu Fengs mouth revealed a faint, ferocious smile. His body slightly shifted to the side as his silver spear shot up into the air, perfectly sticking to the knife blade that had come flying in from mid-air. All of his energy was concentrated in his arm, and with a slight downward motion of three inches, he smoothly guided the force of the knife towards the right, where an enemy axe was approaching.
Clang!
The knife and axe clashed, emitting a dull low hum.
Those two enemies who were mutually destroying each other were struck by lightning, their bodies shook violently, the force of the rebound forced them to stumble, and in an instant, their formation was disrupted.
As soon as the flaw was exposed, Liu Fengs silver spear suddenly surged up, and his ape-like arms flew around, with thousands of spear shadows shaking like a dragon dancing in all directions, wrapping towards those two enemy Han. The two enemies weapons were all dropped from their hands, and their bodies spun and fell off the horse like a top that had been struck, with fresh blood splashing out of their funnel-shaped bodies like raindrops.
"This is my true strength?!"
In an instant, he killed three Tiger and Leopard Riders, Liu Feng was overjoyed.
At the moment of excitement, he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound behind him and instinctively realized that someone was sneakily attacking from behind with a hidden weapon.
He swiftly turned around and indeed saw a white light cutting through the air towards him, so he used his silver spear to deflect it, sealing off the path of the incoming hidden weapon.
Clang!
The hidden weapon hit the gun handle, and what shocked Liu Feng was the force attached to the hidden weapon, which was incredibly powerful. The impact of this block was so great that it shook him for three times, and his palm tiger mouth was also cracked with several wounds.
The projectile that was blocked turned out to be just a thumb-sized pebble.
