Chapter 245

Su Li finally made the decision to launch a surprise attack on Zhang Zhang Niujiao's lair.

This is also an opportunity to train his troops.

It can allow the troops trained by Zhou Cang and Guan Hai to see some blood.

On the other side.

The Jizhou Han army camp.

An iron cavalry clad in chainmail, riding warhorses that hissed like the wind, arrived with the speed of lightning. With golden spears and iron horses, the iron hooves clattered, and a thick murderous aura spread for a thousand miles.

Before the people even arrived.

All the soldiers in the Han army camp were alarmed!

The Han army deputy general Zong Yuan sighed: "Such momentum must be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, along with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Youzhou Sudden Cavalry, are one of the three major special cavalry unit types, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The leader of the arriving Xiliang cavalry was eight feet tall, with a waist ten spans wide, and thick muscles; he was none other than the last 'loyal minister' of the Eastern Han, the current Administrator of Hedong, Dong Zhuo.

In his prime, Dong Zhuo was also a warrior approaching the peerless level, with unparalleled strength, fighting in all directions.

It is just a pity that he did not break through that final step.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo, having passed middle age, had begun to enjoy life; his face was greasy, and he already showed signs of having a potbelly.

His strength had declined severely, and there was no longer any possibility of breaking through to the peerless level.

"My lord, now that the bandit leader Zhang Jiao has been killed by the outlander lord Su Li, most of the Yellow Turbans have also been broken."

"Only the branch at Guang Sect remains. If we capture Guang Sect."

"Firstly, we can become famous in the imperial court, and secondly, we can establish prestige among the Five Schools of the Northern Army; it kills two birds with one stone."

"At that time, my lord can secretly show favor to Grand General He Jin and request the position of Inspector of Bingzhou; it will surely lead to great success."

A plain-clothed strategist followed by Dong Zhuo's side was already planning the future path for Dong Zhuo.

"Li Li Wenyou observed the celestial phenomena at night; the world will surely fall into great chaos in the future, which is exactly the time for my lord to achieve great things."

"Hahaha, if I achieve great things in the future, Li Li Wenyou shall be the Chancellor!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, placing exceptional trust in this strategist by his side, Li Ru, Li Li Li Wenyou.

Among the Xiliang Army, there was also a fierce general.

Nine feet tall, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist, he was exceptionally sturdy.

His sharp gaze swept across, making all the Han soldiers feel a murderous aura and a suffocating sense of oppression.

However, this sense of oppression was limited to those below the level of top-tier warriors.

Above the level of top-tier warriors, anyone could ignore this oppression.

This person was the Xiliang fierce general Hua Xiong.

In the original history, after Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi, he still failed against the Yellow Turbans and was defeated by Zhang Jiao and others.

It was not until the late Han strategist Huangfu Song went to battle that the tide was turned.

However, in this world, the three Zhang brothers have already fallen, and Dong Zhuo has the help of Hua Xiong and Li Ru.

I am afraid that this time, Dong Zhuo will be able to end the Yellow Turban Rebellion early, thereby reaching the peak of his life faster!

And then, from the highest point, fall and be smashed to pieces.

A few days later.

Su Li, along with Zhao Yu, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and others, arrived at the Black Mountain Army's stronghold in Changshan Commandery.

It was a bandit stronghold backed against a valley.

Earth ramparts and stone walls stretched for several miles, enclosing the entire mountain stronghold in accordance with the terrain of the valley.

In the middle was an incredibly thick city gate.

Judging from the scale, it was no smaller than White Cloud City.

One could not utilize the surrounding walls, or rather, most of the walls were the backs of mountains, making it very difficult to invade the city.

Basically, as long as one guards the valley and the front city gate, unless the troops are exhausted, even if the enemy has more troops, it is not easy to break in.

One has to say, the Black Mountain Army had a good eye for choosing their stronghold location.

I am afraid they spent no small amount of effort on this to deal with the Han army's mopping-up operations.

The entire valley entrance had Black Mountain bandits patrolling, using the advantage of looking down from a height to overlook the enemy situation outside.

A troop approaching the valley immediately caused the Black Mountain Army to be alarmed.

"A cavalry troop has appeared!"

"How many are there?"

"About two thousand cavalry!"

"A mere two thousand cavalry, they must be Han army scouts. Watch as I lead a force of fifty thousand elites to go out and wipe them out!"

The Black Mountain Army general guarding the valley was furious; a mere two thousand cavalry dared to come and provoke the tiger's might of their Black Mountain Army.

He immediately ordered fifty thousand elite troops and personally rode out of the city to attack this Han army troop of only two thousand cavalry.

The gate of the valley slowly opened, and the Black Mountain Army troops galloped out of the city, kicking up dust. The Black Mountain Army general held a spiked mace, his face fierce.

Seeing the enemy force, which was twenty-five times their own size, that Han army troop immediately retreated.

"Hahaha, they are already cowardly, follow me to charge and kill them!"

The Black Mountain Army began to pursue and kill with all their might.

That Han army troop fled for about ten miles, then stopped.

Two thousand cavalry lined up, with Su Li as the commander and Zhao Yu as the deputy commander, confronting the pursuing Black Mountain Army.

The Black Mountain Army pursued to this point and discovered that the two thousand or so Han army cavalry had actually stopped and were no longer fleeing, only then realizing that things were not simple.

It seemed the enemy had deliberately lured them here.

"Don't be afraid, we have strength in numbers!"

That Black Mountain Army general bolstered the courage of his subordinates.

"Kill!"

Su Li held the Blood Dragon God-Pattern Halberd high, and with two thousand Red Blood Dragon Cavalry, charged into the fifty thousand Black Mountain Army!

"Your Grandpa Guan is here, you petty thieves, why don't you surrender yet!"

A large blade slashed down from the air, cutting into the Black Mountain Army; sand and stones flew, and dozens of Black Mountain Army soldiers were killed by Guan Hai!

Guan Hai, who had been lying in ambush, carried his ghost-head broadsword and led a troop of several thousand ordinary soldiers out!

Zhou Cang also appeared with several thousand ordinary soldiers, holding a long-handled broadsword, and assaulted the Black Mountain Army.

One by one, the Black Mountain Army soldiers were immediately knocked over by Zhou Cang.

Ambushers rose from all sides, and the three troops caught the Black Mountain Army in the middle, beating the enemy so they could not fight back with a crushing momentum.

They did not even need Su Li, Zhao Yu, or the Red Blood Dragon Cavalry to take action to easily defeat the fifty thousand Black Mountain Army.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

With a loud shout from Su Li, Black Mountain Army soldiers began to surrender one after another.

"Run!"

Seeing that the situation was bad, that Black Mountain Army general immediately took the remaining troops and fled in a panic.

Swish!

However, at this moment.

Su Li took action, and the Blood Dragon God-Pattern Halberd in his hand seemed to tear through space.

The moment the halberd blade slashed out, the heads of that Black Mountain Army general and several Black Mountain Army commanders beside him were simultaneously severed!

Red blood dripped down, complementing the color of the halberd blade!

A general who had crossed the limit of his unit type could not even withstand a single ordinary strike in front of the current Su Li!

"You have defeated a primary-level general and gained 5000 experience points!"

"Your 【Grandmaster-level Halberd Technique】 (lv. ) proficiency +2000, current proficiency 1012000/2000000!......"
