Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304 Thunderbolt
Everyone did as they were told and followed Zhu Ye, wading through the icy river water.

The group had just arrived at the other side and mounted their war horses when the horses neighed a few times. Then they heard a "fluttering" sound and many unknown birds were startled and flew up from the cliffs on both sides.

Soon, the mountain road fell into deathly silence again. Apart from the whistling sound of the mountain wind, there was almost no other sound. Even the occasional sneeze from the warhorse sounded like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The narrow mountain path with tall and smooth cliffs on both sides is terrifying no matter how you look at it.

Several Thundergod Cavalry soldiers looked at Zhu Ye and said, "General, this place is too strange. If there is an ambush, it would be like one man blocking the pass and ten thousand men unable to pass. Should we be more cautious?"

Zhu Ye, however, stared straight ahead and snorted coldly.

"Humph, what we want is one man blocking the way for ten thousand men!"

Then, he turned his head and looked at the five hundred Thunder God Riders with a serious expression.

"Brothers! This time we, the Thunder God Cavalry, acted as the vanguard and lived up to our lord's trust. We finally found out the news about the Xianbei people. However, if we just bring the news back, these Hu people will be waiting here for us to tire ourselves out. Our army has traveled a long way and will suffer heavy losses in a big battle! Therefore, this general has decided to take this small path and head to the Hu people's camp. We don't seek to kill the enemy, but to disrupt their morale!"

After saying this, he looked at the soldiers of the Thunder God Cavalry. They all had solemn expressions, and no one showed any signs of panic or fear. He couldn't help but feel extremely relieved.

"In my estimation, my brother and his army will arrive tonight. By then, the Xianbei and Xiongnu camps will be in chaos, and if a large army rushes in, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort! However, this journey is extremely dangerous. The number of enemy troops will probably not be less than 150,000, or even more. We only have 500 people. Are you afraid of going into battle this time?"

"The Thunder God Rider is fearless and moves forward courageously!"

Five hundred people shouted in unison.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Zhu Ye himself rushed to the front, and five hundred soldiers entered one after another.

It was already the end of the evening, the sun was setting in the west. Under the setting sun, each person's shadow was cast into long and narrow black shadows on the mountain road that was tinged with gold and red.

These black shadows, accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, echoed on the mountain path for a long time, and also continued to echo in Bu Dugen's heart in the cave.

After a long time, the sound finally disappeared completely, and Budugen gradually came back to his senses.

"The Han Dynasty is indeed a powerful country in the world. It is fine that the general is so brave and fearless, but I didn't expect that even the ordinary soldiers in this army are like this. Zhu Ye is already like this, how heroic are his sworn brothers? No wonder we Xianbei have repeatedly run into obstacles in Yanmen. All the previous things were just because the Han Dynasty had no time to fight back. Once this tyrannical empire really wants to resist, I am afraid that we Xianbei will be wiped out sooner or later..."

He looked at Qian Man, who was still unconscious beside him, with an inexplicable look on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking...

In the valley, the leaders and generals of the Xianbei and Xiongnu, as well as the Han envoy, had already eaten and drunk their fill and returned to their tents to rest.

However, ordinary soldiers do not have this treatment. In times of peace, soldiers only have two meals a day.

But it is different for war horses. For nomadic people, they would not let their war horses starve even if they themselves were hungry.

After eating the grass, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army took their horses to slowly return to their posts, some standing guard, some patrolling, and some guarding.

On one side of the valley, there was an exit no more than three or four feet wide, with a group of Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry standing sparsely on both sides.

But I don’t know if they were tired after guarding for several days, or if they were a little hungry because they didn’t have lunch, but these soldiers were all in low spirits.

A few soldiers said something to their comrades around them, and finally the morale of these people seemed to be shaken. They looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, and dismounted one after another, leaned against the nearby mountain walls or boulders, took out water bags, drank water, and enjoyed the breeze, looking very comfortable.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Suddenly, a series of loud noises like thunder fell into everyone's ears, scaring these soldiers and the soldiers who were a little further away.

Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky, only to see white clouds in the sky and no signs of thunder.

Just when everyone thought this was a brief bolt from the blue, the sound rang out again.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

A few people with more sensitive ears seemed to have heard the direction of the sound and turned their heads to look towards the exit of the mountain path.

Soon after, the sound of horse hooves trampling followed closely, and then some stones on the ground began to jump up accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground.

"Garaku..."

Several Xianbei people moved closer to the exit and stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

However, the mountain road was winding and tortuous. Sound could turn, but light could not. They could only hear the thunderous roar, but could not see any signs. Some Xianbei soldiers behind them asked them a few questions, and they turned their heads to answer. Both sides talked back and forth, guessing what was going on, and at the same time discussing whether they should go in and find out.

The sound of thunder was getting closer and closer, as if it was already nearby.

The soldiers were a little frightened and looked back at the mountain path, but still found nothing.

Encouraged by the people behind them, they looked at each other, and finally made up their minds and walked towards the mountain path together.

After only a dozen steps inside, there was a turn. Many soldiers watched these people enter the corner, and then there was no movement.

When everyone was wondering whether to let more people in, suddenly, several screams were heard from the mountain path.

Everyone's faces suddenly changed. Those who had dismounted to rest immediately mounted their horses again. There were more than a thousand soldiers nearby, all looking at the mountain pass with alert expressions.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The sound like thunder was getting closer and closer. This strange situation made everyone look more and more nervous. Even many Xianbei and Xiongnu people thought that it was the gods they believed in who came to punish them. They all prayed to the God using their own unique prayer gestures.

At this moment, a man riding a warhorse suddenly appeared from the corner, and then rushed out of the mountain road before everyone could react.

And behind him, soldiers followed one after another in an endless stream.

These people have one thing in common. Except for the first man who used two hammers, the rest used a single hammer. Each hammer was huge and covered with spikes!
After this group of people rushed out of the mountain path, without saying a word, they raised their sledgehammers and smashed them at the Xianbei people or Huns who were still stunned while watching around them!

"puff……"

"Click..."

Strange noises instantly filled everyone's ears.

“Guka…”

These people woke up in shock and shouted for warning and help.

"Hey, you guys are pretty loud!"

These soldiers had just shouted once or twice when they heard a laugh that was tinged with sarcasm and disdain.

Immediately afterwards, several people felt a gust of black wind sweeping past their eyes, and they felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and then they fell off their horses one after another.

"Sure enough, the Xianbei people and the Xiongnu people have joined forces. Brothers, don't be polite. Let's go and kill them!"

Zhu Ye was harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers like cutting vegetables while shouting loudly.

The five hundred soldiers of the Thundergod Cavalry had been holding their anger for a long time and finally fought for an opportunity to be the vanguard. After going through numerous hardships and dangers, they finally found the main force of the enemy army and rushed forward one by one, roaring.

The Xianbei and Xiongnu soldiers were already quite surprised by the appearance of this group of people. Now they saw them being so brave and brutal, smashing people's red and white things everywhere at will. Who wouldn't be terrified?
As a result, the Thunder God Cavalry, whose combat effectiveness was already far superior to that of the enemy, was now as if assisted by a god, as if the real Thunder God had descended to earth. They shuttled freely among the thousands of enemy troops in this area, as if they were in an empty space, and in a blink of an eye they harvested the lives of more than a thousand Xianbei and Huns.

In a split second, they suffered such a heavy blow, which made the remaining Xianbei and Huns completely wake up. They took up their weapons and surrounded and killed Zhu Ye and others from three directions.

Some soldiers further away also noticed the situation here. This area originally belonged to the Xianbei camp, and except for a few important mountain passes like this one where Xiongnu soldiers would guard together, the rest of the place was filled with dense Xianbei cavalry.

More and more Xianbei cavalry saw this side and rushed over together.

At this time, all 500 Thunder God Riders had rushed out of the mountain road. Many Xianbei people in the distance saw that the enemy had only such a small number of people, so they gave up the idea of ​​rushing over and stayed where they were on guard.

But even so, there were at least five or six thousand people surrounding the Thunder God's Cavalry. It was really like three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding it completely without any escape.

Zhu Ye looked at so many Xianbei cavalrymen and became more and more excited as the battle went on.

"Awesome! It's so awesome! Ever since I started practicing martial arts with my elder brother, we've fought dozens of battles, big and small, but I've never felt as excited as I do today! Xianbei dog slaves, come on, let me show you the might of the Han Dynasty!"

Zhu Ye rushed into the Xianbei army alone, waving his hammer left and right. Every time he struck, he hit the target, and there would definitely be a Xianbei soldier killed under his hammer.

The five hundred Thunder God Riders were divided into groups of two or three, and according to their long training and practice of warfare, they sometimes charged and sometimes retreated. Different groups often helped each other and slowly advanced forward. Although the killing efficiency of a single group was far less than Zhu Ye's, hundreds of groups, a total of five hundred people, were still killing the enemy at a speed dozens of times faster than Zhu Ye.

The Xianbei people's weapons either didn't even touch the Thunder Knights and were broken and flew away by their hammers, or they stabbed or chopped at them but were knocked away by other Thunder Knights around them. Even if they were able to stab or chop the opponent a few times, they would only tear the outer clothes or leave some superficial injuries on some unimportant parts, but they could not penetrate the opponent's armor to injure the vital parts.

The Xianbei cavalry became more and more frightened and terrified as the battle went on!
