With 8,000 private troops, the Emperor forced me to relinquish military power. How could I, as a subject, harbor ulterior motives?
With 80,000 private troops, the Emperor forced me to relinqu...
"kill!"
On the battlefield, Wu Sanjia, the mighty general of the Great Xin Dynasty, displayed his extraordinary martial prowess as the newly appointed martial arts champion of the dynasty for the first time before Prince Chen Huai'an of Jin.
In Wu Sanjia's hands, the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear seemed to be imbued with the vitality of life.
Like a true dragon, it moved freely through the vanguard of the Dragon City army, as if it were in an empty field.
Wherever the spear tip touched, a cold glint appeared, instantly disrupting the well-prepared defensive line of the Dragon City shield soldiers and spearmen.
"kill!"
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the three thousand Ironclad Heavy Cavalry of the Tiger Warriors, with their unstoppable momentum, smashed the defensive formation of Dragon City's shield infantry, spearmen, and axemen to pieces.
Following them was 20,000 Tiger Warriors light cavalry charging in a dense wedge formation.
Along the defensive line torn open by the Ironclad Heavy Cavalry, they continuously infiltrated and eroded the formation of the Dragon City's attacking forces.
Finally, 30,000 elite infantrymen, under the cover of chariots and shields, advanced step by step, pressing forward relentlessly until they engaged the Longcheng army, whose formation had been broken, in a fierce battle.
On the watchtower of the central army of Longcheng, Prince Chen Huai'an of Jin, who witnessed Wu Sanjia leading light and heavy cavalry in a charge, frowned slightly, feeling quite shocked.
Wu Sanjia's tactics and coordination were exactly the same as when he dealt with Wu Qingyun, the commander of the Yunhui Army, at the Longshan camp.
All of these tactics involved heavy cavalry charging into the enemy lines, light cavalry flanking and supporting from both sides, and infantry covering the rear and launching attacks.
This kind of tactic demands a high level of tactical coordination and understanding between different military units, and it often yields remarkable results on the battlefield.
At this moment, Chen Huai'an finally understood why Chang Yuchun, the most valiant general of the Ming Dynasty, had been defeated in Mozhou City two months ago, by Wu Sanjia, an unknown martial arts champion of the Great Xin Dynasty.
This Wu Sanjia is indeed a formidable opponent!
"You traitorous general Wu Sanjia, prepare to die!"
Back on the battlefield, Fan Wuji, the commander of the Dragon City Iron Cavalry, had already led three thousand Dragon City Iron Cavalry into the battlefield.
Fan Wuji, riding his horse at full gallop, also set his sights on the enemy's commander, Wu Sanjia.
With a flick of his lance, he charged straight at Wu Sanjia.
snort!
Faced with Fan Wuji's provocation, Wu Sanjia snorted disdainfully, flicked his Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, and slammed it against the horse's belly as he charged toward Fan Wuji.
Thump thump thump!
Thump thump thump!
At a distance of about a hundred paces, the two men charged at each other on horseback and collided in the blink of an eye.
Clang!
Before the men and horses arrived, the weapons clashed first.
The Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in Wu Sanjia's hand clashed fiercely with the horse spear in Fan Wuji's hand, producing a sharp and ear-piercing metallic clang.
The moment they clashed, Fan Wuji couldn't help but gasp. The grip on his hand, which was tightly holding the lance shaft, was throbbing painfully, and the lance almost slipped from his grasp.
This Wu Sanjia is indeed quite skilled!
"Hey kid, did your master's wife teach you horseback riding skills?"
Hahaha!
Wu Sanjia laughed loudly with a mocking expression: "Your little horseback riding skills are not worthy of fighting this general. Let your master Chen Huai'an come!"
"Didn't he boast of his own bravery, surpassing even the three armies, like the King of Jin?"
"Let Chen Huai'an experience the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear of this general. I'll let him have three moves, hahaha!"
"How dare a mere child spout such nonsense?"
At this moment, the valiant General Pang Xianchu also arrived on the battlefield. As he rode his horse over, he happened to encounter Wu Sanjia, who was shouting that he wanted Prince Chen Huai'an of Jin to fight him.
Pang Xianchu continued, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You think you're worthy of sparring with His Highness Prince Jin?"
"Get past this general first!"
"Take this!"
As he spoke, Pang Xianchu had already raised his eighteen-foot spear with one hand and spurred his horse toward Wu Sanjia.
snort!
Seeing this, Wu Sanjia snorted coldly again, spurring his horse to meet the enemy while also indulging in his verbal sparring, shouting, "I've long heard that Pang Xianchu is the number one warrior of the Po Lu Army, a renowned and valiant general!"
"Today, I, the general, want to see whether this valiant general is merely a figurehead or truly possesses the strength!"
"Watch out for my gun!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
In a short while, Pang Xianchu and Wu Sanjia on horseback exchanged three moves.
Every move was deadly, yet the opponent skillfully deflected them.
"Indeed, General Pang Xianchu is quite capable; he's not just a pretty face with an empty reputation!"
While sparring with Pang Xianchu, Wu Sanjia also had the leisure to chat with him.
Looking at Pang Xianchu, he was in no way inferior to Wu Sanjia in their horseback duel, but he also failed to gain any advantage.
In response to Wu Sanjia's praise, he said without reservation, "Wu Sanjia, you truly deserve to be the new martial arts champion of the Great Xin Dynasty!"
"They have some strength, but not much!"
Hahaha!
Wu Sanjia laughed loudly, "Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji, come on, let this general teach you what real horseback riding skills are!"
With that, Wu Sanjia began a full-force attack without resorting to violence.
He wielded his gleaming silver spear with incredible skill on horseback, slashing, thrusting, and sweeping back with a variety of techniques that were dazzling to behold.
Even the valiant General Pang Xianchu could only parry when faced with Wu Sanjia's all-out attack, and had no power to fight back at all.
Gradually, Pang Xianchu lost ground and was forced into a series of defeats by Wu Sanjia.
"General Pang, I'll join too!"
At this moment, Fan Wuji finally couldn't hold back any longer and charged forward with his spear: "You dog thief Wu Sanjia, take this!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Sanjia, despite being outnumbered two to one, still held the upper hand, slashing left and right with his long spear, leaving Pang Xianchu and Fan Wuji struggling to keep up.
"Wu Sanjia, this general has arrived! Dismount and surrender at once!"
Before anyone knew it, Chang Yuchun, the deputy marshal of the Longcheng army, who was covered in blood from the fighting, also rode up to the battlefield.
"Chang Yuchun, you've come at the perfect time!"
Wu Sanjia, mounted on horseback, grew increasingly excited with each fight, grinning maliciously as he said, "Last time, I let you escape by sheer luck outside Mozhou City;"
"This is perfect. I'll deal with the three of you first, and then I'll deal with your master, Chen Huai'an!"
"Come on, let's all attack together!"
Before the words were even finished, the group was already locked in combat.
On the watchtower of the Longcheng army not far away, Prince Chen Huai'an of Jin could clearly see the horseback duel (or group fight) between Wu Sanjia, Fan Wuji, Pang Xianchu, and Chang Yuchun.
When Chen Huai'an saw Wu Sanjia fight three opponents single-handedly without being at a disadvantage, a sinister smile finally appeared on his cold face.
This scene reminded him of a fierce general from the Three Kingdoms period—Lu Bu!
The martial prowess of Wu Sanjia is no less than that of Lü Bu!
Chen Huai'an gave the order: "Men, prepare the horses and bring me my halberd!"
