Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 277 Tanghe Breakout
On the banks of the Tang River, the situation was like a bowstring stretched to its limit, ready to explode at any moment. Zhou Yu and Sun Wu personally led a mighty cavalry force, galloping towards the Tang River.
Their flags fluttered loudly in the cold wind, their soldiers were wearing shining helmets and armor, their momentum was like a rainbow, and the sound of their horses' hooves mixed together, shaking the earth slightly.
Following closely behind, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and crossbowmen swarmed in densely and mightily like a swarm of migrating ants. For a moment, smoke and dust billowed around the Tang River, and shouts of killing sounded like faint thunder, rolling in from afar.
Yan Xiang was dressed in tight clothes, her figure was graceful but exuding a heroic spirit. However, at this moment, her handsome face looked like frost, and it was chilling.
Her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity and determination. She looked around and saw that the ferry crossing was empty, with no boats available. She knew that the difficulty of breaking through had suddenly increased dramatically.
But she was not someone who would easily accept her fate. She made a prompt decision and turned to Xu Shu beside her and said in a deep voice:
"Military Advisor Xu, the enemy's pursuers are about to arrive and are about to complete the encirclement. The situation is extremely critical! You break out first to seek help, and I will cover your rear and stop the enemy!" Her voice was crisp but firm, like a huge bell, revealing an unquestionable spirit.
Xu Shu was slightly startled when he heard this, then his thick eyebrows raised, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he drew out the long sword at his waist with a "whoosh". The sword flashed with a cold light, reflecting his resolute face.
He took a step forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with Yan Xiang, and said loudly:
"General Yan, you absolutely can't do that! If you have to leave, you should leave first. I will stop the enemy and buy you a chance to break out." He spoke earnestly, and every word seemed to fall to the ground with a loud sound.
Yan Xiang shook her head slightly, her eyes becoming more determined. She stepped forward, grasped Xu Shu's wrist, and said earnestly:
"Military Advisor, there's no time to lose. I'll stay and focus on attracting the enemy." She released his hand and mounted her horse. The Ferghana horse, a majestic beast, sensed the tense atmosphere of the impending battle and snorted loudly, puffing out clouds of white mist.
Yan Xiang patted the horse's neck gently to comfort it, and then waved her hand, leading the remaining dozens of riders, like arrows from a bow, to charge towards the Jiangdong light cavalry that had gathered around them.
Xu Shu watched Yan Xiang's retreating figure, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: admiration and worry. He gritted his teeth, turned around, crouched low, and cleverly concealed himself under the cover of dry grass. He quietly left the group, ready to seize the opportunity to break out.
It was November in Nanyang County, freezing cold. The wind was like a knife, stinging the face. Although Yan Xiang and the soldiers were experienced in swimming, the river water was icy cold, like sharp ice spikes piercing the bone marrow. Swimming across was no easy task.
Swimming across was not an option, so the only option was to fight. At this moment, no one was afraid.
Yan Xiang pulled the reins of his horse and stood in front of the formation. He waved his sword and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers! Follow me to kill the Jiangdong bandits!" Her voice resounded through the sky and echoed in the open fields.
"We are willing to die with the general!" The dozens of riders behind him shouted in unison, their voices hoarse, each with a look of determination to die, their eyes flashing with a determined light to go through fire and water.
On the Jiangdong Army side, Han Dang saw Yan Xiang's troops coming like a tiger descending from the mountain, and did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately waved the eyebrow knife in his hand and shouted loudly to organize a circular defense formation.
The defensive formation quickly took shape, with soldiers arranged closely together, shields standing in rows, spears like a forest, and cold light flashing, like a steel fortress.
Han Dang saw that the battle array had been set up, raised his eyes to look at Yan Xiang, and shouted loudly:
"General Yan, give up resistance. My master has a history with Boyi and will certainly not neglect you. Why bother fighting to the death?"
Yan Xiang raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and shouted angrily:
"Don't say anything more. Your master has betrayed me and seized Nanyang County from me. How can I forgive such an evil act! Even if I die in battle, I will not surrender!" After saying that, she slowly drew out the Xuanyuan Sword from her waist. The sword was simple but faintly revealed a sharp sword aura, flashing a cold light in the sunlight.
"Soldiers! Kill!" Yan Xiang cried out once more, charging headfirst into the enemy lines. Unleashing the consummate skill of the Yue woman swordsmanship, her movements nimble like a butterfly flitting through flowers, her graceful movements concealing deadly moves.
She was seen flashing with her sword, and the Jiangdong soldiers on both sides fell down one after another like wheat being cut, and no one could withstand her.
Han Dang frowned upon seeing this, but remained calm. He swung his knife towards Yan Xiang and shouted:
"Don't panic! Continue to form the formation." But Yan Xiang's attack was too fierce, and her sword moves were as sharp as a storm.
Seeing that the military formation had slowed down the speed of her Ferghana horse, Yan Xiang frowned, her beautiful eyes glazed, and she decisively activated her unparalleled god-level skill:
"Unparalleled! Shadow Sword Domain!" In an instant, shadows suddenly appeared within a radius of ten meters with her as the center, as if thick ink was pouring, and countless black sword energies roamed freely like nimble snakes, making a hissing sound.
A faint light suddenly appeared on the armor of the Jiangdong army, which was a sign that the armor-piercing effect was effective. The originally solid defense was instantly riddled with holes.
The soldiers widened their eyes in horror, feeling as if their bodies had been drained of energy. They were weak and powerless, their strength disappearing at a rate of 5 points per minute, their legs going weak and they were about to collapse.
On Yan Xiang's side, the soldiers under his command only felt a surge of heat throughout their bodies, full of strength. Their strength and speed increased by 5 points out of thin air. Their momentum was like a rainbow, and their shouts became louder and louder.
Although Han Dang was shocked, he remained calm, knowing that the army's morale must not be disturbed at this moment. He shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Hold steady, focus on attacking Yan Xiang first." But Yan Xiang was like a ghost in the sword domain, her figure erratic. The Yue girl's swordsmanship became more and more fierce and ruthless. Every sword thrust was extremely accurate, taking away a life.
"Advance with momentum and destroy the front!" She shouted delicately and used the first move of Yue Girl Sword Technique. The sword was as powerful as a rainbow and went straight to Han Dang.
The Jiangdong army's formation was thrown into disarray, and the fish-scale formation gradually became loose, like a pile of loose sand. Yan Xiang took advantage of the situation and led his men to break through the defenses like a blade breaking through ice, heading straight for Han Dang.
Han Dang gritted his teeth and fought back, but the gap in strength had widened. After a few rounds, he was covered in wounds, blood gushing out, staining his robe red. The morale of the Jiangdong army was low, and the defeat was imminent.
"Hahaha! Here comes Zhou Gongjin!" At this critical moment, Zhou Yu arrived with his army like a divine force descending from heaven. Seeing Yan Xiang's unstoppable courage, he was not afraid, but instead felt a strong desire to fight. He laughed loudly, his laughter revealing confidence and heroism.
Next to Zhou Yu, standing on his horse, was Sun Wu, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong. The two stood side by side, looking imposing.
When Yan Xiang saw Zhou Yu and Sun Wu appear, her face instantly turned pale and extremely ugly. She thought to herself:
"I'm afraid I will have to die here today. My husband, Mingyu, and my missing elder sister, I wish I could see you for the last time." Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she looked towards the direction of the Northern State Master's Mansion, her heart full of regret and unwillingness.
At this moment, how much she longed for her husband Suo Chao to appear by her side like a god and help her escape from this desperate situation.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Suo Chao was caught in the storm of the Hongmen Banquet at the end of the Qin Dynasty. He wanted to save Liu Bang, Xiao He and others, but he found it difficult to convince Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng and others.
