Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2162 Gan Ning and Zixu Ascend First, Xuanyuan Fights Zixu on Flying Horse

"promise."

"The Breaking Waves Army will not disappoint the general!" Fu Youde replied loudly.

"How about this, General Li will also lend you a hand!"

Considering that Shi Le's troops were also present at this time, and that Xuan Yuanba, the princess of the Great Yan and also the number one warrior of the Great Yan, was also there, Yue Fei temporarily transferred Li Cunxiao to Fu Youde's side as well.

Besides himself, Yue Fei had six other legendary generals under his command: Li Cunxiao, Deng Jiugong, Huang Pao, Yang Zaixing, Wu Zixu, and Jiu Chong. If you include Yue Fei himself, there were actually seven.

Besides Huang Pao and Yang Zaixing, his Iron Lion Army should also have another behemoth among its top-tier generals.

However, last year, Jumbo was temporarily seconded by Meng Wu to the battlefield with Da Wu. He hasn't been recalled yet.

Yue Fei had six top-tier generals under his command: Deng Jiugong, Huangpao, Yang Zaixing, and Jiuchong were in the other two amphibious landing forces. As for Yue Fei himself, besides Wu Zixu in the navy, there was Li Cunxiao, the strongest among the top-tier generals.

However, Li Cunxiao alone was already enough to withstand the combined forces of Deng Jiugong, Huang Pao, Yang Zaixing, and Jiu Chong from the other two armies.

Just as Yue Fei was observing the Yan army, Shi Le, on the ferry across the river, was also observing the Han army.

Seeing that the Han army was superior to his own in terms of military appearance, morale, and even equipment, Shi Le knew that this battle would be difficult.

Most importantly, there was a disparity in troop numbers between the two sides. He only had 150,000 troops, of which 50,000 were newly recruited soldiers who had only been in service for a little over six months.

On the other hand, the enemy's troops numbered nearly three times as many.

Before Xuanyuan Huang's troops arrived, this battle was going to be very difficult.

Moreover, he stationed 30,000 troops at the ferry crossing, but what about Yue Fei's landing troops?
Therefore, Shi Le never expected to be able to stop the enemy north of the river from the very beginning, and had already made preparations to abandon the riverside crossings and retreat to the cities behind the river.

However, if they retreated without even firing a shot, it would not only look bad on the field, but it would also affect the soldiers in the army.

Therefore, even if one is to withdraw, it should be done at an appropriate time.

In fact, Yue Fei's reputation among the many generals of the Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of Han Xin, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, and also inferior to that of Meng Tian, ​​who had quelled the rebellion of Zhongcang in just two or three months.

Even Su Dingfang, who had distinguished himself in the Battle of Hedong and subsequently quelled three of the four minor dynasties, was no match for him.

Compared to the aforementioned figures, Yue Fei was far inferior in both fame and battlefield experience.

If their forces were evenly matched, Shi Le wouldn't have been afraid of Yue Fei. However, the current situation is not one of evenly matched forces, but rather a huge disparity in strength.

"However, this general is not without a chance of victory!"

Shi Le examined the slip of paper in his arms again and again. On this slip of paper was the distribution of Yue Fei's various troops and even the names of the generals in each troop.

The clashes between the two countries are never overt; the covert battles are far more unpredictable and treacherous.

It's perfectly normal for us to be intertwined, with each other in our lives.

He received the note three days ago.

"father!"

"The Han army's warships are coming again!" Shi Lezi Shi Hong exclaimed.

"it is good!"

"Proceed according to plan!"

"Your Highness, thank you for your trouble!" Shi Le said, turning to the female general behind him.

This female general is none other than Xuan Yuanba, the number one fierce general of the Great Yan Dynasty.

At this moment, the first batch of warships of the Han Navy had already rushed into the ferry crossing. The soldiers of the Polang Army, who had been waiting in the cabins for a long time, jumped off the warships like wolves and tigers, led by generals Gan Ning and Wu Zixu.

Gan Ning was supposed to be the commander of the Tianhe Navy, responsible for directing warships to transport soldiers from both sides of the river.

However, he entrusted this task to his deputy general Shi Lang, while he himself went to Fu Youde's place and directly participated in the first wave of landing operations.

Gan Ning is brave and skilled in battle, and has now broken through to the ranks of the Heavenly Secrets, with a basic martial prowess of 100 points. Wu Zixu is even more of a god-level general.

Although the first group of soldiers who charged down with them was not large, they still advanced with unstoppable momentum.

Or, to be more precise, Yan Jun only pretended to resist for a while before slowly retreating on his own initiative.

"Something's not right, General Xingba, the enemy seems to be trying to lure us deep into their territory!"

During the charge, Wu Zixu had already noticed something was wrong.

Although this Wu Zixu is a fictional version of a fierce general rather than a historical figure, even as a fictional version, he was still both wise and brave.

"What are you afraid of!"

"Strive for the best at the first attempt, but the momentum will wane at the second, and be exhausted at the third!"

Even if the enemy is using a trick, our army will defeat them with all its might!

"Don't forget, we still have General Fu Youde and General Yue Fei behind us."

At this moment, Gan Ning didn't care at all about the possibility that the enemy was luring him deep into their territory.

Behind them was a large force, but how many soldiers did the enemy have?
To put it bluntly, not to mention the other two armies that crossed the river, their army alone outnumbered Shi Le's total forces.

Even if the other side really has the possibility of luring the enemy in deep, so what? Even if he really goes in, Fu Youde, who lands later, can easily turn the tables and surround the enemy.

"Keep going!" Gan Ning, wielding his twin halberds, charged almost to the very front.

"Ding, Gan Ning's Martial King skill activated, Martial Power +3, Base Martial Power 100, Crescent Halberd +1, Current Martial Power increased to 104."

Gan Ning may not be a suitable general to command a large army, but he is definitely a very suitable vanguard general.

A vanguard general needs more than just bravery. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were both braver than Gan Ning, but neither of them were suitable for this position.

Courage is only one factor in being a commando. More importantly, one must have keen battlefield intuition, be able to identify the most suitable place to charge at the first moment, and launch an attack from the enemy's weakest point.

Clearly, Gan Ning is a very suitable surprise attack general.

"middle!"

During the charge, Gan Ning spotted a Yan soldier dressed in a general's robe, who appeared to be a general, not far away. He immediately sheathed his double halberds, drew his bow and arrow, and killed the soldier with a single blow.

Gan Ning was also quite skilled in archery.

Shi Xing witnessed his younger brother Shi Kan being shot and killed by Gan Ning, but he remained calm and composed, as if the deceased was not his own brother. Shi Le, as one of the founding emperors, naturally belonged to the royal family. Within the royal family, what kinship was there?
Even after being reassigned by the system and no longer considered royalty, but as ordinary generals, the relationships between fathers and sons, as well as brothers and sisters, remained strained.

However, their grandfather, Shi Le's father Shi Zhouhezhu, saw that his grandson had died and wanted to turn back to fight Gan Ning.

However, Shi Hong stopped him in time.

Thus, one side launched a fierce attack while the other deliberately retreated, and Gan Ning recklessly charged deep into Shi Le's camp.

Meanwhile, the subsequent landing troops had just disembarked from the warships.

Now, Gan Ning, having charged too deep into enemy territory, has been completely cut off from the following troops.

But it was precisely at this moment that Shi Le finally revealed his true colors.

"Gan Xingba!"

"I used to think you were someone important, but it seems you're nothing but a brainless idiot!"

"Your Highness, kill him!" Shi Le, heavily guarded, revealed a triumphant smile.

"An ant who hasn't even reached the level of a Divine General, killing him will only take three moves!"

As he spoke, Xuanyuanba spurred his horse and charged off.

"Ding, Xuanyuan Ba ​​Jiang Zu's skill effect three activated. Born from the resentment of heaven and earth, when located in a place with dense evil energy, it can slowly absorb external evil energy to enhance and replenish its own blood evil."

"Ding, the fourth skill effect of Xuanyuan Ba ​​Jiang Zu has been activated. It is a creature that is despised by all living beings and is considered an ominous being. When fighting against non-mythical figures or mortals in mythology, it can exert a certain degree of force suppression on them. However, if the opponent's base force value is higher than yours, you will not only fail to suppress them, but it will also cause a certain backlash on yourself."

Currently, Gan Ning's martial prowess has been reduced by 4 points, bringing his total martial prowess to 100.

Xuanyuanba rode out, and the Yan army soldiers around him voluntarily made way for him.

As she galloped away on her horse, her aura rapidly increased, and the blood energy that surged into the sky condensed into a blood-fiend that clung to her blade.

"General Xingba, you are no match for this man. Let me handle him!"

Wu Zixu saw Xuanyuanba appear. Although he had never seen Xuanyuanba before, there was no other female general in the Great Yan Dynasty who could reach such a level of martial arts except for Xuanyuanba.

Gan Ning was no match for his opponent and couldn't even last three moves.

After all, Xuanyuanba had single-handedly fought against two top masters, Alcyoneus and Wu Changkong, in the Qingbei War.

Among the many powerful generals and experts of the Han Dynasty, if these generals were divided into two halves, these two would be ranked in the top half.

"Ding, Wu Zixu's Martial God skill has been activated, Martial Power +4, base Martial Power 105, current Martial Power increased to 109."

Wu Zixu knew that although the person in front of him was a woman, she was definitely the strongest woman he had ever seen, and perhaps the strongest opponent he had ever faced in his entire life.

Therefore, he immediately unleashed the full power of the Blood Fiend upon his attack, disregarding the depletion of his own strength.

Only those who survive have the right to consider the depletion of their power. Those who cannot survive have no right to cherish their power.

After all, the one he was about to hand over was clearly a master among the divine generals. But he himself, although also a divine general, could never be considered a master among the divine generals like the other party.

"There are actually experts among the Han army!"

"However, you're not good enough!"

As the words fell, Xuanyuanba's blade also fell at the same moment.

"Dengdengdeng..."

With the help of his charging warhorse, Xuanyuanba met Wu Zixu's attack head-on. Even though Wu Zixu had pushed his bloodthirsty power to the limit at this moment, he was still forced to retreat again and again by this attack.

When he finally managed to stop himself from falling, a mouthful of blood almost gushed out of his chest.

However, he swallowed it back down again.

At the same time, almost instinctively, he rolled awkwardly on the ground.

Just as he rolled, a large sword swept across.

"Zixu, use my sword!"

From a distance of more than ten steps, Gan Ning threw the broadsword he was carrying on his back directly at him.

Gan Ning always carries a lot of weapons when he appears: a broadsword for ranged combat, double halberds for close combat, a bow and arrow for shooting, and even an iron chain hanging from his waist.

Gan Ning clearly saw that Wu Zixu's weapon was of average quality, and it had just taken a heavy blow from Xuanyuanba head-on, leaving a gap in it.

If this weapon is directly severed during the next encounter, not only will you lose this match, but you might even lose your life.

Therefore, Gan Ning directly took off the Water-Splitting Gold-Breaking Saber that he was carrying on his back.

Indeed, when Wu Zixu was born, he carried a precious sword with him, but the quality of long weapons on the battlefield was only average.

Having received Gan Ning's Water-Splitting Golden Blade, Wu Zixu attempted a counterattack, and each strike aimed at Xuanyuanba's warhorse from an uncanny angle.

After all, he wasn't riding a warhorse and was fighting on foot. Facing a cavalry general, attacking the enemy's warhorse wasn't considered despicable.

However, Wu Zixu's counterattacks did not cause Xuanyuanba any real trouble.

Instead, Xuanyuanba seized an opportunity and delivered another heavy blow, injuring him once more.

"Ding! Xuanyuan Ba ​​Huo Sha skill effect three activated. In a one-on-one duel, it can reduce the opponent's martial power by 1-5 points; in a group battle, it can reduce the opponent's martial power by 1-4 points. Wu Zixu's martial power -3, Wu Zixu's current martial power has decreased to..."

"Han generals are nothing special!"

"Ten more moves and I, the princess, will surely slay you!"

Having already exchanged about ten moves, Xuanyuanba had basically confirmed Wu Zixu's skill level.

She has some ability, but that's about it for her.

"Shameless talk!"

Despite losing the battle, Wu Zixu refused to back down. At the same time, he hurriedly used his internal energy to dispel the numbness in his arms and temporarily suppress the internal injuries that had just been triggered.

On Gan Ning's side, seeing Wu Zixu at a disadvantage, he instinctively wanted to help him. However, Shi Zhou Hezhu, whose grandson had died earlier, came forward, wanting to avenge his grandson.

However, he overestimated his strength. Gan Ning created an opening and secretly removed the iron chain he had been hiding, catching his opponent off guard and beheading him in just a few moves.

However, in just a few short moves, Wu Zixu was already in grave danger, suffering several serious injuries from Xuanyuanba, and his internal injuries were also getting worse.
