VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 180: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE 8 DOORS GOLDEN LOCK FORMATION (7) Liu Bei POV “By the way–” Zi Long said while fighting and smiled, “Xuan De’s martial prowess is really good now!” “Thanks for the praise!” I am not bragging but I really have improved significantly. “But you’re still only as good as a handicapped soldier! Hahaha!”
… I knew it. There was no way she would not insult me. “Lord Zhao Yun!” Just then, Yuan Zhi yelled out as she swung her sword about from the side. “I need to go and apologise to Lord Xu Shu when this battle is over.” “Un? Why is that?” “I doubted her before after all.” Zi Long said as she looked at Yuan Zhi, “But now, after seeing Lord Xu Shu’s dedication and hard work, I think I was thinking too much.” Un, you were indeed. “And to think that she is an administrative official… Yet her martial prowess is so impressive.” Zi Long smiled, “I’d guessed that she was good from our fight a while ago but I didn’t think she was this good.” “Lord Zhao Yun! Our troops have all linked up now so let’s gather and… Un? Lord Zhao Yun? What’s happening?” “Ah, it’s nothing.” Zi Long hurriedly snapped out of her thoughts and saluted Yuan Zhi, “I already sent Chen Dao to gather our troops together a while ago so she should be done soon.” “Un.” Yuan Zhi nodded, “That’s the best then. We don’t have much time after all.” When she finished, she wiggled over to me and reached out. “Un? What’s the matter?” “Gourd, my gourd.” She said to me from up close and I caught a whiff of liquor from her breath. “You’re going to drink more?” “…” She remained silent and merely shook her hand up and down in response. To think a girl who is usually so quiet would change so drastically just from swapping sugar water for liquor. “Here…” *Pa* Yuan Zhi s.n.a.t.c.hed it from me immediately and began drinking. Zi Long looked over as well and looked rather puzzled. Well, what can I say? All I can do is smile stiffly at Zi Long as I watch on. “Yuan Zhi… Yuan Zhi? That’s enough now.” I said feeling afraid as I reached out. “Un.” Yuan Zhi stopped when she heard me and moved her gourd away from her lips and shook it. Looks like there’s still quite a bit left, “… Let’s go.” “Ah.” Yuan Zhi uttered as she tossed the gourd over to me. “Go?” Zi Long asked, “Go where?” Yuan Zhi pointed her sword in a certain direction and said, “We charge in that direction.” There? I looked over but could not make out which direction it was as we were now in a circular enemy formation that has been constantly moving. “We’re going to… Split the enemy formation in that direction?” Zi Long asked. Looks like she understood what Yuan Zhi meant. “Un, yes.” “But… Our troop strength now is…” I asked feeling worried as our combined strength seemed a little low. We did not have much less than the enemy but now that we were inside the enemy formation, would our numbers be sufficient to tear out of it? “Lord Xu Shu, how much of a chance do we have?” Zi Long asked with a severe expression but did not seem as pessimistic as I was as she looked at the battle, “If Lord Lu Bu has successfully cut across and so do we, then the enemy formation will be destroyed. But it will be difficult due to our numbers and inferior gear.” “Yes, it will indeed be very difficult.” Yuan Zhi said, “But we still have hope.” “Lord Xu Shu means…” “Troop morale and the pressure our enemy has is our greatest hope.” Yuan Zhi said as she pointed at her heart. *Hua* *Hua* *Hua*… Un? There seemed to be some commotion in the distance. “Report!!” A soldier suddenly came running over and knelt down when I realised the commotion in the distance. Ever since I came to this era, couriers have not brought good news but I could see excitement on her face as though we have already won and she was celebrating her survival. Zi Long looked at me and waited for me to say something before realising that I was not supposed to be Liu Be and hurriedly spoke, “Ah… What is it?” “I’ve observed that Lord Lu Bu has successfully torn through the enemy formation!” “Eh?!” “What?!” Zi Long and I exclaimed in shock and surprise as we looked at each other in disbelief. “I see.” Yuan Zhi replied as she nodded as though she expected to hear this. “Did you know about this beforehand, Yuan Zhi?” “No, there is no way to predict what will happen on the battlefield but I had a feeling that Lord Lu Bu could do it.” Yuan Zhi said as she shook about and gave a wry smile, “Besides, wasn’t it you who recommended me to use Lord Lu Bu to begin with?” Ah… So Yuan Zhi kept the words I said to her in mind huh? But Feng Xian has really exceeded my expectations with this. To think she actually tore through the entire formation with just 3,000 light infantry. Feng Xian is really… Too strong. But I suppose it’s because it’s Feng Xian that this could be done. “So that means that the enemy formation is messed up along here huh…” Zi Long said as her expression lightened up, “Now that the enemy formation is at the bring of collapse, if we charge out in that direction…” “Yes,” Yuan Zhi continued after Zi Long, “Our chances of escape and victory are high.” Un. I do not know why but my blood is heating up again. I am beginning to get affected by the atmosphere. After being in dire predicaments and fighting hard to overturn the situation so many times, I am beginning to feel like I am the main character in a movie or light novel. “Un, we might be able to win this.” Zi Long said as she revealed a smile. Just then, Chen Dao rode back and Zi Long yelled at her, “Chen Dao, what’s the status? Are our troops ready?” “Ah, we’re in good shape! But we shouldn’t be staying here too long!” Chen Dao yelled back as she rode over, “The officers have already formed up our combined forces now.” “Good,” Zi Long said and turned to Yuan Zhi, “Well then, shall we be moving off?” If this were before, Zi Long would not be asking Yuan Zhi like this. At the very least, she would have some doubt in her eyes but now it looks like Zi Long trusts her. I looked at Yuan Zhi and saw that she was holding back from burping and sat on her horse in a daze for a long while before she nodded at Zi Long and swung her sword about, “Un, let’s charge.” “Yes!” Zi Long saluted her respectfully and swung her arm out as she raised her spear, “All troops, hear me!” *Neigh*~~~~ Zi Long’s horse cried out and reared up on its hind legs as she pulled the reins. Its cry was so loud that all the troops around, including the enemy, looked over at her. For a single moment, time seemed to stand still as the battlefield seemed to descend into silence. “– Charge with me!” “Ahhhhhh!” The troops yelled back in response to Zi Long as her horse landed heavily on the ground. Immediately, she began to gallop out at top speed past friend and foe alike as she cut down enemy troops left and right. She’s too fast… I thought as I did my best to catch up but found that I had no way to do so at all. Part of this was due to the horse I was on but it was also due to my lack of horsemans.h.i.+p compared to Zi Long. But I cannot stop trying. I cannot give her any reason to hesitate or slow down now that our mission is to charge out. When I looked to the side, I saw that our troops were sprinting alongside us at top speed with no sign of fatigue on their faces at all. “My lord… Ah, Lord Shamoke, there’s no need to try to catch up to Lord Zhao Yun.” Just then, Chen Dao spoke to me and I found that she was riding alongside me instead of riding up ahead. “Eh? Why is that?” “My lord’s horsemans.h.i.+p is pretty good but you still can’t compare to Lord Zhao Yun. Besides, your safety is of paramount concern.” “But…” “It’s fine.” Chen Dao said as she smiled at me. If this were before, I would have gladly acceded to what Chen Dao told me to but now that my blood is boiling, there’s no way I can take this lying down.
