Chapter 612: Troops Approaching Xuancheng

Seeing this scene, Lü Bu did not stay long and immediately gave orders to the army:

"Retreat!"

Very quickly, Lü Bu led the army of fifty thousand and left.

Without Lü Bu's attacks, the remaining Sui army crossed the river very smoothly; two hours later, all the Sui army had finished crossing the river.

"These damn Han troops caused this General to lose nearly one hundred thousand troops; this General has never suffered such losses before!"

Lai Hu'er looked at the army that had suffered heavy losses and shouted in a low voice with a gloomy expression, his tone filled with endless hatred.

Seeing that nearly one hundred thousand troops were lost, He Ruobi's expression was also a bit ugly, and he said in a gloomy voice:

"I did not expect that there would be such weapons in the Han army; this kind of lethality poses a threat even to warriors at the Martial Ancestor realm!"

"If we could obtain this kind of weapon of the Han army, then who else could withstand the military edge of our Great Sui!"

After finishing, He Ruobi's eyes were filled with greed.

"Not bad, this kind of weapon can only be controlled by our Great Sui!"

Hearing He Ruobi's words, Lai Hu'er's eyes also flickered, filled with a sharp glint, and he said greedily.

And Lü Bu and the others, after intercepting the Sui army, retreated to Xuancheng Commandery.

"Hahaha, Military Advisor! Military Advisor!"

Guo Jia was in the main hall of the City Lord's Manor, studying the map on the wall, when he heard Lü Bu's voice.

Before the person was even seen, the voice had already traveled in from far away; judging by the tone, he seemed quite happy.

"Hahaha, Fengxian, looking at how happy you are, this ambush must have achieved great results!"

Seeing Guo Jia, Lü Bu stepped forward happily, patted his shoulder, and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, it really couldn't be hidden from you, Military Advisor!"

"This time ambushing the Sui army crossing the river, this General didn't even show his face; I just used the spirit stone cannons to bombard them from afar, which caused the Sui army to lose nearly one hundred thousand troops."

"You don't know, that Sui general Lai Hu'er's angry roar—even from ten miles away, this General could hear it clearly!"

Being patted hard on the shoulder by Lü Bu, Guo Jia could not help but grimace and moved away from him nonchalantly.

Subsequently, he laughed and scolded him irritably: "I say Fengxian, can you be lighter with your hands? My frail body can't withstand you patting it like this!"

Seeing this scene, Hou Cheng and the others following Lü Bu could not help but laugh.

And Lü Bu, hearing Guo Jia say this, also felt embarrassed and apologized to Guo Jia:

"Hahaha, please don't blame me, Military Advisor; this General was overly excited for a moment, I couldn't help it! I couldn't help it!"

Seeing this, Guo Jia also shook his head helplessly; he was not really blaming Lü Bu, and subsequently changed the subject.

"I assume that since this time Lai Hu'er lost one hundred thousand troops, they definitely will not let it go; I believe they will attack us very soon."

"This time we also didn't have naval troops to help, otherwise if he, Lai Hu'er, wanted to cross the Yangtze River, we could definitely have made his entire army be wiped out!"

Hearing this, Lü Bu and the others all nodded in agreement; with the Han army's strength, this was really not a boast.

Subsequently, Guo Jia said solemnly to Lü Bu and the others:

"However, being able to make them lose one hundred thousand troops this time is also a very good result."

"This time, we must wipe out the remaining army of three hundred thousand in one fell swoop!"

"Military Advisor, rest assured; as for these soldiers of the Sui Kingdom, they sound like an army of three hundred thousand, very bluffing, but facing this General's Shenwu Legion, even if another three hundred thousand came, it wouldn't be enough for us to kill!" Lü Bu said to Guo Jia with an arrogant expression.

"That's right, Military Advisor, rest assured; as long as Lai Hu'er and the others dare to come, we will definitely make their entire army be wiped out!" Hou Cheng said to Guo Jia with a confident expression.

"Haha, good! With you Generals here, this time we will definitely wipe out the army of three hundred thousand of He Ruobi and Lai Hu'er!"

Hearing the confident answers of the few, Guo Jia also laughed loudly.

And at the same time, the matter of the Sui army being ambushed while crossing the river was also seen by a portion of the Jianghu warriors.

After witnessing the Han army's spirit stone cannons, the crowd of Jianghu warriors were all shocked by the power of the spirit stone cannons.

The power was immense, and the range was very far; one must know that at that time, Lü Bu and the others were at least six or seven miles away from Lai Hu'er's army.

They had never witnessed any weapon that could reach such a long range.

"Terrible! I did not expect the Han army to have such a powerful weapon; it is truly unheard of!"

"That's right, I didn't even see where the Han army launched that kind of attack; the most important thing is that that kind of attack actually had spiritual power fluctuations, but it wasn't a warrior's attack, which is very incredible!"

"Who says it isn't? At that time, the Han army was too far away; it was impossible to see what kind of thing launched that kind of attack!"

"No, I must hurry to Xuancheng Commandery and keep watch; I don't believe I won't be able to see that kind of thing this time!"

For a time, many Jianghu warriors were attracted by the Han army's spirit stone cannons.

Among them, there were also many who developed the intention of wanting to take the spirit stone cannons for themselves.

"Interesting, it seems the Han army's strength is not weak; perhaps this time it is really possible to withstand the Sui army's attack."

"This young lady wants to see just how powerful your Han army's strength is!"

On an unknown mountain peak not far from the Yangtze River, Wanwan, the Saint Maiden of the Yin Kuai Pai, saw the losses Lü Bu and the others caused to the Sui army, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Two days later, Lai Hu'er and He Ruobi led the remaining three hundred thousand Sui army and arrived outside Xuancheng Commandery.

And at this time, Lü Bu and the others had also arrived on the city tower early.

After the army formed a formation, Lai Hu'er said to a Martial Ancestor realm sixth heaven warrior general beside him:

"Yan Lei, you go and call for battle; first test how strong the Han army's general is!"

Hearing this, Yan Lei cupped his fists at Lai Hu'er and responded loudly: "This subordinate obeys!"

Subsequently, Yan Lei urged his warhorse and arrived at a spot one hundred paces below Xuancheng Commandery, raised the long spear in his hand, and shouted loudly to Lü Bu and the others:

"Listen, rebel troops in the city; I am Yan Lei, a great general under the command of the Great Sui's Upper General Lai Hu'er. You bunch of rebels, do you dare to come out of the city and fight this General!"

After Yan Lei finished speaking, the aura of his Martial Ancestor realm sixth heaven cultivation was immediately released, and his whole person exuded a high fighting spirit.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

And following Yan Lei's voice falling, the army of three hundred thousand behind him shouted in unison.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with a murderous aura.

"Who among you will go and behead the enemy general for this General!"

Lü Bu did not pay attention to Lai Hu'er but turned his head to ask the crowd of martial generals behind him.

Yan Lei's cultivation was also clearly sensed by Lü Bu and the others; just a Martial Ancestor realm sixth heaven, some of the colonels in the Shenwu Army were enough to kill him. ===== CHAPTER 613 =====
