Chapter 530
Li Su accepted the order and, carrying out the mission, arrived at Sun Jian's camp.
Sun Jian was in the midst of a fierce battle with a unit of Liangzhou rebels when he received the news that Zhou Shen was besieged.
"Please, General Sun, go ahead to support General Zhou. My lord has also suffered an ambush and is unable to provide rescue."
Li Su was also a master of rhetoric, and he spoke to Sun Jian in this manner.
"Do you have an order from the General of Chariots and Cavalry?"
"When a general is in the field, he is not bound by all orders. The Liangzhou rebels are numerous and powerful; if there is the slightest hesitation, General Zhou will surely fall. I ask that General Sun, for the sake of your colleague, please extend a helping hand."
Li Su's rhetoric was indeed remarkable; he grasped Sun Jian's personality weakness, which was that righteousness came first.
He was fundamentally unwilling to see a colleague fall.
"Huang Gai, you remain to guard the main camp. Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, follow me to lead the troops and rescue General Zhou!"
Sun Jian weighed the situation slightly, but was still persuaded by Li Su, leading one hundred thousand troops to rescue the General Who Sweeps Away Bandits, Zhou Shen.
…………
On the other side, Su Li, leading Facing Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yu, and others, pursued Han Sui for hundreds of miles.
Since they had already routed the enemy army, they naturally had to capture or kill the opposing commander.
Moreover, suppressing the Liangzhou rebels was not only rewarded with military merit, but also with the warhorses captured from the Liangzhou rebels.
Xiliang warhorses were undoubtedly fine horses and could be used as reserve mounts for the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
Besides this, there were also the captured Liangzhou soldiers.
"Damn it, is that extraordinary lord Su Li a madman! Why does he keep pursuing us without letting up?"
Han Sui was also driven to desperation by Su Li.
Su Li's troops kept up a relentless pursuit, capturing tens of thousands.
"Die!"
Two large blades whistled in the hands of Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang as they fought fiercely against several Qiang generals.
Those few Qiang generals were also infinitely strong, waving their weapons and engaging in a bitter battle with Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
The two sides clashed, trading blows, with every move aiming for the kill.
The surrounding ground appeared with spiderweb-like cracks spreading outward due to their chaotic battle.
The alien tribes had many reckless generals, but basically, only their martial strength was worth looking at.
Facing Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were locked in a chaotic battle with the Qiang generals.
Su Li, meanwhile, led Zhao Yu and the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry in pursuit of that unit of Huangzhong Huangzhong Yicong Hu troops.
That unit of Huangzhong Huangzhong Yicong Hu troops, led by a Han general, was the greatest threat, which was why Su Li pursued them relentlessly to heavily damage them.
Besides this, that Han general also led a unit of heavy crossbowmen; although they had not reached the strength of a special troop type, they were still extraordinary.
Their combat power was comparable to the Shooting Sound Camp of the Five Schools.
"Shield formation!"
Seeing Su Li and the others in relentless pursuit, that Han general immediately ordered the surrounding infantry to form a shield formation to resist the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry's attack.
The Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry approached the shield formation, and the heavy crossbowmen hiding behind appeared, holding special heavy crossbows, firing a thousand bolts at once, covering the area in a screen of arrows!
The crossbow bolts tore through the air, creating friction and emitting bursts of sonic booms!
Su Li's expression tightened slightly.
This unit of heavy crossbowmen could absolutely be called elite!
The general commanding this heavy crossbow unit could also definitely be counted as a famous general.
But it was a pity.
His opponent was himself.
And the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry, which had reached the level of a god-tier troop type.
"Charge!"
Under Su Li's command.
The Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry launched a direct charge, ignoring the sky-covering crossbow bolts and breaking through the enemy's shield formation blocking the front.
Su Li also rode his Crimson Blood Dragon Horse, leaped into the air, and charged toward the Han general hidden in the back.
That Han general also held a special bow and crossbow, instantly firing a stream of light toward Su Li.
Compared to the crossbow bolts of the other heavy crossbowmen, this one arrived first despite being fired later!
Originally, the characteristics of the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry allowed Su Li to ignore arrow attacks.
But from the opponent's crossbow bolt, Su Li sensed a trace of a dangerous aura.
Subconsciously evading, he barely dodged the opponent's cold arrow; the crossbow bolt grazed his heavy armor, actually leaving a visible scratch.
If he hadn't dodged, the crossbow bolt would have surely pierced his heavy armor and gone straight through his chest.
"Interesting, to have this kind of archery, you are definitely not a nameless person."
"I must see who you really are!"
Su Li's gaze flickered, and he attacked urgently again, aiming straight for the enemy general's head, the Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd slashing down!
That Han general drew his sword to block, retreated several steps, and barely managed to receive Su Li's attack.
The opponent was clearly an expert with the bow, but still used a sword to receive Su Li's strike.
This was enough to show that the opponent's strength was also in the ranks of top-tier generals.
But he was only a top-tier general.
His specialty was still archery; once Su Li got close, he could hardly parry.
The Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd clashed fiercely with the sword; after only three rounds, the opponent appeared disheveled and attempted to flee.
However.
How could Su Li let him escape easily?
