Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

A hundred miles west of Yumen Pass, on the vast Gobi Desert, the scorching sun hangs high, its intense rays pouring down relentlessly, baking the earth to a scorching heat, while swirling dust fills the air.

A large and orderly Yuezhi motorcade was slowly moving forward, its wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust.

This divine chariot was a transportation tool jointly created by the Yuezhi and the Qin state. Its body was sturdy and its structure was ingenious. It carried vital grain and supplies, and it was like a winding dragon, moving forward along the Gobi Desert road.

The two leading generals included Narayana, the marshal of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

He was dressed in the magnificent armor unique to the Yuezhi, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, exuding nobility and majesty.

The other was Zhang Ji, a general of the Qin state, who was dressed in Han military uniform, showing the style of the Han Dynasty.

"General Zhang, your Prime Minister Sima is truly exceptionally intelligent and talented!"

As Narayana rode forward, his gaze fell upon the swift chariot beside him, his eyes filled with admiration:
"It is truly admirable that he was able to invent such an ingenious and unparalleled chariot."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ji's face lit up with a proud smile, and he said loudly:

"Marshal Naroyan is absolutely right. Our Prime Minister Sima is truly the wisest man in the East."

He was a man of vast knowledge and exceptional strategic acumen; this divine chariot was merely one of his many ingenious ideas.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

However, they were completely unaware that on the rolling sand dunes to the south, two pairs of eyes were staring intently at them, their gazes filled with coldness and murderous intent.

These two men were Zhuge Dan and Huo Du.

Zhuge Dan had a cold and stern face, and his eyes revealed a profound strategy and decisiveness. He held a long sword that gleamed coldly in his hand, as if he was ready to draw it at any moment.

Huo Du was tall and strong, like a lion, exuding a domineering aura that inspired fear.

"Prime Minister Xiao, you are truly a prophet!"

Looking at the massive grain transport convoy in the distance, Zhuge Dan was filled with emotion and said:

"The Yuezhi Empress would never have imagined that we would launch a surprise attack from Yangguan and strike directly at her supply lines."

Huo Du also deeply agreed and nodded in agreement:
"Prime Minister Xiao is truly a reincarnation of a strategist!"

Such an exquisite layout is truly breathtaking.

Say it.

The two took a deep breath, their expressions instantly turning cold and their eyes revealing murderous intent.

Zhuge Dan suddenly raised his long sword and shouted sharply:
"Heroes of the Han Dynasty, heed my command!"
"Destroy the Yuezhi people's chariots! This shipment of provisions must not be allowed to reach Yumen Pass!"

As the order was given, a rousing bugle call instantly rang out, like a thunderclap, exploding across the silent Gobi Desert.

Behind the sand dunes, the Han cavalry, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, galloped out like tigers released from their cages.

The thunderous sound of hooves rolled in, raising clouds of dust. The iron cavalry surged out of the desert like a black torrent, rapidly crushing towards the speedy caravan.

On the Gobi Desert road, Naroyan and Zhang Ji were chatting and laughing happily.

Suddenly, the rousing bugle call, like a sharp blade, abruptly interrupted their conversation.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, their smiles instantly freezing, replaced by expressions of horror and fear.

In their view, the Han cavalry swept in like a surging tide, their banners fluttering and their battle cries deafening.

"Han cavalry?"

Narayana's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief:

"How could there be so many Han cavalry?"

Zhang Ji was also visibly shocked and exclaimed loudly:

"How can this be?

Wasn't the Han army blocked at Yumen Pass at this time?
How exactly did this Han army come about?
Did they fall from the sky?

The two were bewildered and at a loss, their hearts filled with astonishment and confusion.

The Yuezhi army guarding the grain supplies was thrown into chaos, panicked and disoriented, their morale plummeting to rock bottom. Seeing this, Naroyan was frantic with worry and hurriedly shouted:

"The entire army is in formation, protecting the chariots!"
We must not let the Han army succeed!

Upon hearing the order, the Yuezhi army hastily turned south and formed ranks.

It's too late.

Zhuge Dan took the lead, charging into the enemy ranks like an arrow released from a bow.

He brandished his long sword, its cold light flashing, and wherever he went, Yuezhi soldiers were cut down, their heads rolling and blood splattering everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the Han cavalry behind them charged into the Yuezhi army like tigers descending a mountain.

Hooves trampled, swords flashed, people crashed, crushed, and slashed... Screams, cracking sounds, and tearing sounds mingled together, echoing through the sky, and the entire Gobi Desert was instantly transformed into a bloody battlefield.

Blood gushed forth, turning the desert a glaring red, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Guardian vehicle, no backwards allowed!"

Narayana roared hoarsely, fully aware of the importance of the Divine Chariot to the Yuezhi.

The Yuezhi were able to continuously transport supplies to the front lines thanks to these divine chariots.

Once the chariots are destroyed, the Yuezhi's supplies will be unable to reach Yumen Pass. At that time, the army will be cut off from supplies and will surely collapse without a fight.

How will he explain this to the Yuezhi Empress then?
Knowing the gravity of the situation, Narayana did everything in his power to protect the divine chariot.

However, the grain-carrying army was not an elite force to begin with, and under the fierce attack of the Han army, their morale quickly collapsed.

Seeing this, Narayana was furious and killed several fleeing soldiers in an attempt to quell the rout, but to no avail.

"Damn it!"

Narayana gritted his teeth, his heart filled with shock and rage:
"What methods did the Prime Minister of Han use to bring the cavalry here?"

Just then, Zhuge Dan locked onto him.

Seeing that Narayana was wearing golden armor and possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, he was certain that this person must be the Yuezhi marshal.

"You scoundrel! Prepare to die!"

Zhuge Dan roared angrily and charged forward like a tiger, dragging his sword.

Naroyan felt a chilling killing intent surging towards him like a tide. Startled, he hurriedly turned his horse around and saw a Han general standing in front of him, his long sword slashing down with the force of a mountain.

"This person actually exudes such murderous intent?"

Naroyan's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he hurriedly raised his sword to block.

With a deafening roar, the two blades clashed, sparking dazzling flames and scattering blood. The surrounding Yuezhi soldiers were thrown backward by the powerful blast of air.

The two riders passed each other, each regaining their balance.

"Hu Gou, you've got some skills!"

Zhuge Dan let out a wild laugh, turned around, dragged his sword, and charged forward again, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Narayana felt a numbness in his tiger's mouth, his blood churning, and he inwardly groaned in despair:
"This Han general's martial arts are actually superior to mine?"

The Yuezhi people did not engage in many battles with the Han army, and generals such as Luo Mo and Fa You had already died at the hands of the Han army.

Narayana naturally didn't know the true strength of the Han generals. Only after their battle did he realize that the strength of the Eastern generals far exceeded his expectations.

Zhuge Dan attacked again, his second strike unstoppable, hurtling towards Naroyan like a storm.

Narayana used all his strength to block, and another earth-shattering roar resounded.

In the second exchange, Naroyan felt a slight crack in his tiger's mouth, from which blood seeped out.

Zhuge Dan's blood-red blade descended with overwhelming force, its techniques engulfing Luo Yan like a raging storm. (End of Chapter)
