Chapter 31: When Two Armies Meet on a Narrow Path, the Brave One Wins

~8 min read 1,441 words

"Report!"

Niu Yuan hurriedly arrived before Chu Feng and reined in his warhorse.

"My Lord, there is a Xiongnu iron cavalry unit rapidly approaching from our rear; they will catch up to us in at most the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."

"What!"

Niu Yuan's report could not help but give Chu Feng a shock.

Throughout this journey, they had been executing their mission with the fastest speed and the most cautious methods.

He had not expected that the Xiongnu iron cavalry would detect their situation so quickly.

"My Lord, should we withdraw immediately?" Xiang Yuan asked.

"Withdraw?"

Chu Feng turned his head to look at Xiang Yuan, "The Xiongnu iron cavalry is at most a cup of tea's time away from us. Our horsemanship is inferior to theirs; being caught is only a matter of time!"

"Then... then what should we do?"

Everyone looked toward Chu Feng.

He was their Regional Commander.

All of them were waiting for Chu Feng's next plan.

"Fight!"

"Fight them!"

Chu Feng gave the final answer directly.

A unit that only knows how to kill, burn, and pillage is at most at the level of bandits and robbers.

And to forge a steel-like unit, one must experience the test of blood and fire.

"Brothers, they all say the Xiongnu cavalry is the best in the world!"

"I, Chu Feng, simply do not believe in this superstition!"

"Everyone has two shoulders carrying one head; no one is better than anyone else!"

"Today, we shall have a head-on, hard-hitting contest right here with this Xiongnu cavalry that claims to be the best in the world!"

"Tell them that our Great Wei cavalry is not inferior in any way!"

Everyone was greatly encouraged upon hearing this.

That's right!

Everyone was born of a father and mother; no one is inferior to anyone!

Why should you Xiongnu cavalry claim to be the best in the world?

Back then, you relied on your strength to wantonly burn, kill, and plunder in our Great Wei territory.

Now, haven't we done the exact same thing by running into your heartland and performing the same operations?

Since we have all run into each other, we naturally have to compare and see who is tougher!

"Brothers, I will tell you one thing here, and I hope you remember it forever!"

Everyone immediately focused all their attention on Chu Feng.

Chu Feng raised the long spear in his hand high and shouted: "When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!"

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!"

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!"

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!"

The morale of the Great Wei cavalry climbed to its peak under Chu Feng's influence.

Their hatred for the Xiongnu people was not a matter of just one or two days.

Today, they must have a life-or-death battle with them.

"Brothers, form ranks!"

Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter...

Over a thousand cavalrymen stood in place, arranged in neat formations.

Waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Everyone looked into the distance and saw only dust flying.

A neat and uniform Xiongnu iron cavalry appeared before their eyes.

"They've come!"

All the Great Wei cavalrymen gripped the war sabers and long spears in their hands at this moment.

Just waiting for Chu Feng to give the order to launch a charge.

"Whoa!"

The man in the lead was named Huleiduo.

His strength was at the Post-Heaven Late Stage.

He was one of the three Xiongnu iron cavalry units.

After Chu Feng began his harassment of the Xiongnu tribes, their three units had split up to act.

In fact, they had long wanted to act separately.

After all, whoever killed these one thousand Great Wei cavalrymen would be able to claim the greatest merit.

At that time, the Left Worthy King would surely be able to provide a very generous reward.

"Hahaha..."

"You bunch of Wei mongrels, I've finally caught up to you, haven't I!"

Huleiduo licked the corners of his mouth.

His eyes were filled with brutality and murderous intent.

Among the tribes that Chu Feng had ravaged, his own was one of them.

Without exception, his relatives in the tribe had all been slaughtered by the troops led by Chu Feng.

Even his children and nephews had died under the blades of this unit.

That was why Huleiduo wanted to find this Wei unit more than anyone else.

He wanted to take revenge and wipe away the shame for his deceased relatives and friends!

"Brothers, it is these rats from Wei who killed our kin, snatched our property, and burned down our houses,

leaving our families without food to survive the winter or a place to live!"

After these words.

All the Xiongnu soldiers gripped the weapons in their hands at this moment.

They, too, would not allow their own kin to be harmed.

Now, the enemies who had killed their kin were right before their eyes.

They wished they could rush up and skin them alive right now.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

"Avenge our deceased kin!"

"Kill!!!"

The Xiongnu cavalry launched their charge first.

They held their sabers high, swearing to seek justice for their deceased kin.

"Brothers, the time for revenge has come, kill with me!"

"Kill!!!!"

The Great Wei soldiers had likewise accumulated a belly full of rage.

As if no one else had kin killed by the other side.

Do you Xiongnu think only you were born of fathers and mothers!

Are the sons of my Great Wei not born of flesh and blood?

The conflict between the two peoples had reached an irreconcilable point.

Only when one side completely falls can this slaughter be ended.

"Kill!"

Chu Feng took the lead and charged straight toward Huleiduo.

They did not have the advantage in numbers.

Only by first beheading the enemy leader would there be a chance of victory.

"Stinking brat, today I will definitely cut off your head to use as a chamber pot!"

With eyes wide in fury, Huleiduo held his battle axe high.

He took Chu Feng head-on with the force of a thunderbolt.

He had also realized that Chu Feng was the leader of this unit.

It was just that the opponent's strength was only at the Postnatal Early Stage.

Therefore, Huleiduo believed he could take down his opponent in a single round.

"Divine Might of the Tyrant Spear, the force of thunder!"

Chu Feng swung the great iron spear in his hands with all his might.

Ever since the Tyrant Spear had been upgraded, he had never yet witnessed its true power.

Today was the perfect time to use this fellow named Huleiduo to test it.

Boom!

The scene was as if a sudden thunderclap had appeared.

The intense air current was like an irresistible hurricane.

Those standing nearby felt a wave of intense pressure the very instant it touched them.

Countless warhorses and soldiers lost their lives in this powerful air current.

As for Huleiduo, who had faced this storm head-on with all his strength.

It was as if he were facing a ten-thousand-ton boulder.

The very moment of contact completely crushed him.

By the time Chu Feng led his troops through the charge, where could Huleiduo's figure be found?

A group of Xiongnu soldiers looked left and right, finally finding a puddle of mush that had been crushed into paste.

If not for the insignia of Huleiduo's clothing still on it.

They would never have dared to believe that this was their leader.

"Kill!"

After Chu Feng finished off Huleiduo with one strike, he chose to charge once again.

The morale of the troops soared once more!

Everyone followed closely behind Chu Feng.

Facing these Wei cavalry, the Xiongnu soldiers could not help but feel a sense of cowardice.

One must know that they were all born cavalrymen, the bravest warriors of the grasslands.

But when they saw Chu Feng kill their leader in a single move.

That pride they once held had now completely vanished.

In the end!

In this battle, Chu Feng led his troops to completely annihilate the enemy's two thousand men.

His own side suffered one hundred and fifty casualties.

"Immediately clear the battlefield, then withdraw!"

After gathering the wounded and the fallen comrades.

Chu Feng immediately led everyone away from the scene, leading their warhorses.

Not until they had left this place.

Did a troop finally appear here.
