Chapter 28: A New Round of Ambush

~9 min read 1,799 words

Following the order issued by the Left Worthy King.

The logistics personnel responsible for transport in the rear all strengthened their defenses.

The original transport team of several hundred people was increased to over a thousand.

Even the herdsmen responsible for escorting were equipped with weapons.

Just in case.

The transport team was even equipped with experts at the Postnatal cultivation realm.

It is evident how much of a heavy price the Left Worthy King paid to ensure the safety of the logistics.

The scene shifts.

Dingning Pass.

"General, the Xiongnu main camp still chooses to remain inactive, with absolutely no signs of preparing to attack the city."

In the past at this time.

The Xiongnu would have already dispatched a large army to launch a siege.

Unexpectedly, they have been quite well-behaved these past few days, and this has given Dingning Pass some time to catch its breath.

"Oh? Is that so!"

Zhao Ping raised an eyebrow, "It seems Chu Feng has already taken action over there; otherwise, that fellow, the Left Worthy King, wouldn't be so well-behaved!"

"Heh, Chu Feng is indeed worthy of being the young talent favored by the General; I didn't expect him to successfully curb the Xiongnu's offensive so quickly!"

"Indeed! This has given us a chance to rest and reorganize!"

Everyone said one after another.

Chu Feng has made a great contribution to Dingning Pass this time!

"However, in this way, their situation is going to be dire!"

Zhao Ping frowned and said, "The Left Worthy King will certainly dispatch teams to annihilate them very soon. Once discovered, they will be isolated and without help!"

Everyone fell into silence instantly.

The Left Worthy King certainly will not allow this team to cause destruction in his rear.

He will definitely dispatch teams to carry out an annihilation operation against Chu Feng and his men.

Chu Feng and his men only have a mere thousand people.

Once surrounded by the enemy's large army, they will remain on the grasslands forever.

"Sigh, at present, we can barely protect ourselves and have no way to send reinforcements to them!"

Zhao Ping was suddenly overwhelmed with a headache.

War is just like this.

To achieve a goal, one must fill it with human lives.

This is an iron law.

"By the way, how is the response from the other prefectures and counties regarding sending reinforcements?" Zhao Ping changed the subject.

"Reporting to the General, the other prefectures and counties have dispatched a total of ten thousand people to reinforce us,

and at the same time, many righteous people from the martial arts world and commoners have spontaneously come to defend the city,

and those wealthy merchants and households have also brought out massive amounts of money and grain to support the army."

Upon learning this news, Zhao Ping was very happy and laughed.

"Heh, the fire at Yushan Fortress has finally forced these gentlemen into a corner! A bunch of cowards who fear death!"

The news of the fall of Yushan Fortress has already spread throughout the Great Wei.

Everyone knows the Xiongnu's methods, which are cruel to the extreme.

Those gentlemen sitting in the rear also understand the importance of Dingning Pass.

Once Dingning Pass falls.

Then their side will become the next Yushan City.

Therefore, they are all rushing to send reinforcements and help to Dingning Pass.

All for the sake of hoping that the garrison at Dingning Pass can guard the gate well for them.

"General, but even with their assistance, our chances of winning are not high!"

The number of the Xiongnu army still occupies an overwhelming advantage.

Although they have received quite a bit of aid, it cannot be formed into combat power in a short time.

Breaking the pass is only a matter of time.

"Let's take it one step at a time for now. Everyone return to your respective posts and be ready to fight at all times!"

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers left one after another.

Only Zhao Ping remained at the scene.

"Everyone is gone, come out!"

Zhao Ping shouted toward a certain place.

A man with a murderous aura walked out from the rear.

The scene shifts.

After a night of cultivation.

Chu Feng finally broke through the shackles of the Martial Master Limit Perfection.

Successfully entering the early stage of the Postnatal cultivation realm.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Methods: "Qi Refining Technique" (Minor Accomplishment), "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" (Major Accomplishment), "Tyrant Spear" (Entry Level), "Purple Firmament Profound Heaven Art" (Entry Level)】

【Realm: Postnatal Early Stage】

【Strength: 17,000 catties】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 20】

"Is this the power of Postnatal cultivation?"

Chu Feng clenched his fist.

The immense power made him feel as if this was not even his own body.

With his current strength, if he were to face his former self, he would absolutely have the confidence to defeat him in one move.

Besides that.

The protective Qi covering his body was also much denser than when he was a Martial Master.

This was the hallmark of entering the Postnatal Realm.

More importantly.

Although he was at the Postnatal cultivation level, he possessed the terrifying strength of an Innate cultivation level.

Ordinary Postnatal Martial Artists would only be killed in an instant before him.

"Ah, I really want to find someone to spar with!"

After advancing to the Postnatal cultivation level.

Chu Feng wanted to test exactly what his current strength was like.

It was just at this moment.

Xiang Yuan and Qiu Ming were walking toward him with smiles on their faces.

Judging by the radiant expressions on their faces.

Both of them had also successfully advanced to the Postnatal cultivation level.

"Greetings, Lord Thousand-Man Commander!"

"Greetings, Lord Thousand-Man Commander!"

The two of them saluted Chu Feng with solemn expressions.

That they could have their current strength was all thanks to Chu Feng.

The two of them also felt heartfelt respect for Chu Feng.

"Not bad, you did not let me down; you have both successfully entered the Postnatal cultivation level!"

"This is all thanks to your guidance, my Lord; otherwise, we two would not know when we could have entered the Postnatal cultivation level!"

"That's right, we will never forget your kindness, my Lord!"

"Hmm, since that is the case, then the two of you can spar with me!"

"Ah?"

The two were stunned for a moment.

What was going on?

"What 'ah'? I told you two to spar with me!"

Chu Feng took a stance, "I'll let you two initiate the attack first!"

The two looked at each other.

"Since that is the case, then my Lord, please be careful!"

"Fists and kicks have no eyes, please do not blame us, my Lord!"

"Too much nonsense, hurry up and attack!"

Chu Feng could not wait any longer.

He urged them to hurry up and launch their attack.

The soldiers in the camp also became interested.

They were all very much looking forward to the sparring performance of the three.

Xiang Yuan initiated the attack first, a palm technique with great force and weight heading straight for Chu Feng.

Qiu Ming also immediately took action.

He launched a surprise attack from the rear flank.

Both of them had understood Chu Feng's strength, so they exerted their full power as soon as they started.

"Hehe, is that all?"

Chu Feng easily dodged Xiang Yuan's palm with a sidestep and backhanded a punch onto Qiu Ming's body.

"Ah!"

Xiang Yuan let out a miserable shriek, his entire body flying backward.

Bang!

Qiu Ming's whip kick instantly swept onto Chu Feng's body.

As a result, his leg felt as if it had kicked a stone, and a sharp pain instantly spread through his entire body.

"Bang!"

Chu Feng defeated Qiu Ming easily with another punch.

It took no more than a few seconds.

Two Postnatal experts were defeated just like that.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

The crowd cheered one after another!

Chu Feng's performance was truly too formidable.

Both were at the Acquired Realm, yet he never expected the difference to be so vast.

"Are you two alright?" Chu Feng walked forward and pulled the two of them up.

"My lord is truly worthy of being the successor handpicked by General Zhao; he is indeed impressive!"

"We admit defeat!"

This time, the two of them had truly witnessed Chu Feng's formidable strength.

The other party was still so young, yet possessed such strength.

His future prospects would surely be limitless.

Just at this moment.

Members of the scout squad brought the latest intelligence.

"Reporting to my lord, we have discovered a Xiongnu logistics transport team up ahead."

"There are about a thousand people, and every one of them is armed with a sharp blade."

"Among them, there are at least three Xiongnu experts of the Acquired Realm."

"Oh?"

This intelligence actually surprised Chu Feng quite a bit.

He did not expect the Xiongnu to strengthen their logistics transport security so quickly.

"Heh, I am currently short on points, I never expected them to be delivered to me so quickly!"

Chu Feng licked the corner of his mouth, "Notify the troops, prepare for battle immediately!"

"Yes!"

The crowd rushed to the scene and made preparations for battle.

Before long.

A transport team of a thousand people appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Everyone get ready, release your arrows immediately once they enter range!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiongnu transport team.

"Damn it, a dignified Acquired Realm expert like me is actually being made to do this kind of work!"

"Who's to say otherwise! I was just planning to get to know Cui Hua better today! But I ended up being called over to help transport grain!"

Two Xiongnu Acquired Realm experts grumbled as they walked.

They were very unhappy with the arrangements from above.

To think that they, experts of the Acquired Realm, were actually made to help escort grain and fodder.

"Both of you, say less; the Great King is only doing this just in case!" Wuli Tong said.

"If you ask me, the Great King is completely overthinking it; a mere thousand people, if we were to run into them, we could easily annihilate them!"

"That's right, with that bunch of rats, I alone would be enough to hack through their entire team; we Xiongnu warriors are invincible under heaven!"

"That's right, we are invincible!"

Wuli Tong also responded, "Hurry up and deliver the goods; perhaps tomorrow the Great King will be able to break through Wei's Dingning Pass."

"By then, we can still find some Wei lasses to have some fun with!"

"Haha, that's right, the Wei lasses all have fair skin and beautiful faces; I've long wanted to have a taste!"

Just as the few were getting carried away.

A rain of arrows suddenly descended.
