My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Chapter 101 – Jiangxia’s Downfall (2)

Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto

Jiangxia’s army had been charging the entire, smooth without any resistance; while Lu Bu’s army had been retreating. It is as if Xu Zhi had become Jiangxia’s army’s beacon, sending Lu Bu’s army everywhere to chaos.

“Lu Bu army is defeated and scattered?!” Su Fei who currently standing on the big warship is surveying entirety of Huangzhou city’s battlefield. “Does eldest son She really have the ability?!” Su Fei is truly surprised. When he was under Huang Zhong’s command, he was ordered to stay on the defense, but when this Eldest Son She ordered to go on the offence, he was unexpectedly able to defeat and scatter Lu Bu’s army. It is truly a blessing for us.

"Pah, defeated and scattered, REALLY?!” The Silk-clothed man said it with disdain tone. “That man is the true idiot!!!”

“Xingba, watch your language!” Huang She really looks down on Gan Ning. How could Gan Ning have a high opinion of Huang She? Being looked down all the time, didn’t listen to others opinions even if it was for their own benefit; it can be said that Huang She and Gan Ning are un-reconcilable. “Hey, if Eldest son She won against Lu Bu’s army, it can give us both high merit!"

Huang She who will win this war, will definitely rewarded heavily by Huang Zu. And if according to merit, Su Fei and co, will also have big merits.

“Win?! Big bro, why have you also become like that idiot?!” What Gan Ning wanted to say was that Su Fei did not have any experience, but he quickly change his words.

“Eh?!” Su Fei’s brow wrinkled. Gan Ning can be said as the second person that Su Fei really admires. The first one is Huang Zhong. Even though Gan Ning cannot match Old General Huang’s strength, Gan Ning has several points that made him on par with Huang Zhong. Moreover, he had his naval units and the ability to train naval units. On that aspect, Huang Zhong cannot hope to match him.

So, Su Fei did not mind that Gan Ning insulted him, because Gan Ning certainly had a big reason for that.

“Hmm, why you do you say so?!” Su Fei inquired Gan Ning.

“Okay, big bro. You listen to me!” The reason that Gan Ning called Su Fei, “Big Bro” was not only because Su Fei was much older than him, but also because Su Fei can tolerate his own blunt and rude remarks.

Gan Ning spoke his analysis “Lu Bu’s army has 3 divisions that serve as its main force! Those divisions are Bing Province Heavy Cavalry, Formation Breaker and Urban Army!”

“But, can you find them now? All of those divisions disappeared! We can leave out the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry, because Huangzhou city’s wetland is littered with rivers they are unable to fight, but the other two?

They are infantries, and they should be able to fight! But, all of them have currently disappeared! Leaving only one possibility!” Said Gan Ning.

“Are you saying that?!” Su Fei also thought about that possibility.

“Yep, they are blocking that idiot’s escape routes!” Said Gan Ning impolitely. “As for Lu Bu’s army retreating and being scattered that big bro just said, it is true that Lu Bu’s army is retreating, but did you actually see any of them dropped the banner? I saw nobody drop the banner!”

Su Fei had also seen that. Although Lu Bu’s army was repelled during their retreat, nobody threw down their banner.

The banner is the beacon of the army, especially a division’s banner. It represents who is the commander-in-chief. Other banners were also used as a representative division commander.

Sometimes, the commander-in-chief had not died but the banner has been dropped, that means the army has been defeated.

However, the banner has not been dropped but Lu Bu’s army is retreating in a very organized formation, what does this represent?!

It represented that they have not been defeated, but they are luring the enemy.

“They are going to that side?!” Su Fei trying to assess main army’s pursuit route. That direction is not Huangzhou city’s border, it is not even Jiangxia’s border.

It is no longer littered with rivers everywhere, and also the land is hard and the soil is dry, and because there is no river, navy units cannot pass anymore.

“Oh no, it is the end!!!” Su Fei stood up startled. “Messenger, messenger!!! QUICK, send an emergency message to Eldest son She. Inform him to retreat, this is the enemy’s stratagem!”

“It is too late!” Gan Ning shook his head. By the time the messenger got off the ship, unto land; they might be destroyed by the time messenger got there.

On the battlefield, all of Jiangxia’s army troops is oozing with bloodlust. In front of them is a merit army. If they kill one person, their merit increase by one more point. They can bestow titles on their wife’s and their posts in government will be inherited by their child. They can win promotion and riches by killing them.

Lu Bu also inside his own army in order to lure Jiangxia’s army. After 50% of Jiangxia’s army already out of Huangzhou’s border, Lu Bu suddenly turn back his horse and exclaimed “Prepare to close the net!”

“Un!” Chen Gong nodded and then he waved his hand to signal the messenger. Then the messenger pulled out a large horn and blew a signal sound.

“Horn?!” Huang She looked at Lu Bu’s army which is gradually assembling their army and sneered “Now, you want to counter attack? It is too late!”

“Horn? Are they preparing to kill us?!” Xu Zhi’s spear also kept his assault, making it all bloody. That’s the blood from Lu Bu’s soldiers.

“Horn?!” Zang Ba, who had heard the sound, suddenly stopped his warhorse.

“Hehehe, why are you not continuing to run?! Are you already forfeiting your life?!” Said Xu Zhi while pointing his spear toward Zang Ba.

“Yes!!!” Zang Ba really happy now. “I am not thinking of forfeiting my life! I am thinking about how to kill you!” Zang Ba’s hand is shaking. He has endured far too long. Starting from yesterday, this fly has been flying around his ear. Zang Ba has thought a lot of times to swap and kill this fly, but he was pressured by military order.

Now, finally the time arrives to kill this fly.

“Toothless boast! Today I, Xu Zhi, will make you die under my spear!” Xu Zhi pulls his warhorse so hard, that the warhorse stood on its two hooves; starting to charge toward Zang Ba.

“HUMPH!!!” Zang Ba humphed with disdain. Then two warhorses collided with each other.

“How can this be?!” Xu Zhi’s eyes almost fell down from his eye socket, truly disbelieve with current situation. In one blow by Zang Ba, Xu Zhi’s spear was divided into three segments and his warhorse beheaded. “This is impossible!!!”

“Impossible, eh?!” Zang Ba sneered.

“You obviously, obviously had...!” Xu Zhi said it while stuttering. While he stuttered, Zang Ba gave him a reply.

“Obviously had been defeated by you, is that you meant, huh?!” Zang Ba cleaning his sword, because it had horse blood on it. “Do you seriously think, that you have won over me?! That you have power over me??? If Milord yesterday not inform me of any ploy, your head would have been mine yesterday!”

“I cannot believe this, no, I refuse to believe this! You cheated, you obviously cheated on that strike! YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME!!!!” Xu Zhi refused to believe that the enemy who he defeated yesterday came back so strong today.

“Heh, cheat? Against you? You are not worthy to be cheated on!!!! DIE!!!” Zang Ba then rushed forward and slashed his broadsword fiercely. Xu Zhi’s head flying in midair, with a face full of disbelief; his blood splashing on Zang Ba’s face.

“What? Xu Zhi is killed?!” Huang She cannot believe the news he obtained. Such a valiant general. One who was able to attack the enemy until they were defeated and scattered was killed. Killed by the one he defeated yesterday.

Looking at Huang She’s angry look, Huang Zhong sneered in his heart “It is really feigning defeat, but fuck that already!!!”

“THAT GARBAGE XU ZHI ACTUALLY DIED!!!! FINE THEN, AS LONG AS I WIN AGAINST LU BU’S ARMY, EVERYTHING STILL GOES AS PLANNED!!!” Huang She is shortsighted and unable to appreciate people’s effort. Last night he appreciated Xu Zhi, now he has turned Xu Zhi to garbage in an instant.

“Pass my military order, full pressure on Lu Bu’s army!!!” Huang She’s eyes is flashing deep hatred. Even though Xu Zhi had died, it did not affect their whole situation. Lu Bu’s army has no formation, so they will absolutely perished under Jiangxia army attack.

“Rumble!!!!” Huang She in the main army, suddenly felt a big vibration on the earth. This caused unease among the warhorses and soldiers.

“Eh?! What is the matter?!” Huang She quickly ordered so all warhorse not to run all over the place. But currently, the earth is still vibrating.

“Is this an earthquake?!”

"Earthquake?" Huang Zhong who has been ordered to calm the warhorses down also pondered.

Huang Zhong have felt an earthquake before, but it is only for a little moment, after that the earth returns to normal again however the vibrating has not stopped for quite some time.

“General, look, look!!!!” A soldier is shouting while pointing at a certain point “It is over there, there!!!”

On the vast prairie, a mighty division emerged slowly in front of Huang She’s eyes from the horizon.

“WHY THAT THING?!!!” Huang She’s eyes slowly getting bigger and bigger, and he said the same thing what Xu Zhi had said before his death “How can that be? IMPOSSIBLE, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!!!!”

In the horizon, more and more forms emerged. They wore heavy armor, their spears already ready in hand, and their horses are speeding up.

“NOOOOO, IT IS CAVALRY, CAVALRY IS COMING!!!!!” All of soldiers are emitting that pitiful sound.

"RUN, RUN, RUN!!!!!"

"WE ARE DEFEATED, WE ARE DEFEATED!!!!!"

“Cavalry? How is that possible?! Isn’t Huangzhou city’s soil wet?! Where the hell did this large-scale cavalry come from?!” Roared Huang She when he captured a fleeing soldier.

“Huangzhou city? General, we, we are already outside of Huangzhou city!!!!” The captured soldier was panic-stricken. Because he is an army deserter, he feared that Huang She might cut him down.

“We are not in Huangzhou city anymore?!” Responded Huang She and then he turned his back. Huangzhou city had already vanished some time ago. This is already far from Huangzhou city, they pursued too deep.

“Hungry, starving!!!” Those cavalries increased their killing intent. They are wolves, invincible wolves. They have been starved this entire time, so they prepared their fangs for a feast. They needed to drink blood, a lot of blood.
