In The Three Kingdoms With A System - Chapter. 51 The Lefts Rally!
After Tianlong and the group of cavalry launched a surprise attack it traveled to the other armies which resulted in them having high morale especially the left led by Fu Chen who lost many brothers.
Fu Chen along with his captains sat within a tent discussing how to inflict damage upon the 5thousand barbarians guarding the riverbank.
Captain 1: the general gave us an impossible task!! We can’t even set a proper battle plan with our 1thousand soldiers’ more or less breakthrough their 5thousand!!
Captain 2: I agree!! Lieutenant Fu how can we push with our little unit!? We lost half of our army in the last clash and the men are demoralized!
Fu Chen who was in his thoughts also blamed Tianlong for giving him such a task and was flustered. Fu Chen was always calm and cool-headed but tonight he was restless on how he was going to secure the riverbank.
Fu Chen who was quiet most of the meeting suddenly spoke and called to one of the captains. Captain Lin!! Before you came here you were a captain that specialized in small skirmishes right!?
Captain Lin was confused about why his general brought his past up when he was in General Gao’s army.
Captain Lin: I did general, what’s this about?
Fu Chen looked at Captain Lin like he was a god and immediately told the captains his plan.
Captain Xin: why didn’t we think of this before!? Lieutenant, you struck gold!! We can whittle them down before we make the ultimate push!!!
Fu Chen was filled with a new flame and immediately gathered all the troops.
Soldier 1: Why did the Lieutenant call all of us?
Soldier 2: probably a pep talk.
Soldier 3: WHAT’S THERE TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE ARE LOSING AND ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSING!?
When that soldier said that others joined and asked what the point was since their commander just sent them to die.
Soon Fu Chen and his captains arrived in front of the demoralized soldiers and looked at the soldiers for a while before talking.
Fu Chen: Brothers, I know that your sad, depressed or even afraid because you lost your friends yesterday and have given up the hope to live and see a victory but…. Let me say this before you give up hope completely.

Fu Chen’s soothing voice traveled through the soldiers gathered and that voice gave them a feeling of a parent comforting their child about something and that warmth embraced many of the soldiers who were depressed or sad over losing their, father, best friend or even their brother.
Fu Chen: Many of you may not know this because you weren’t with me and the general at the time but there was a time were, we gave up because our captain was injured and couldn’t lead us, but we were wrong…. When the general woke up, he had broken through to a first-class general and that battle he and 300 something brothers had changed the entire war on the left front during the rebellion. They knew that doing these kinds of missions were dangerous, but they didn’t lose their hope and their passion for victory, so they fought to the death and they came out on top…. Their cries echoed through the forest because they held hope for their captain and that drove them to follow him till today.
After pausing Fu Chen took a moment to look around at the soldiers before continuing.
Fu Chen: So, tell me do you still hold hope for me? Your Lieutenant?
When those last words were said the soldiers, all looked at each other and were silent before they all nodded their heads.
Soldiers: WE STILL HOLD HOPE FOR YOU, LIEUTENANT FU!!!! NO MATTER WHAT WE SHALL FOLLOW YOU TO THE END EVEN IF IT MEANS DEATH!!!!
The soldiers echoed all over as they stood staring at Fu Chen.
Fu Chen: BROTHERS! FOLLOW ME ONE LAST TIME THAT’S ALL I ASK! FOLLOW ME AND STAY TRUE TO YOUR HOPE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!
the soldiers who were originally demoralized raged with a new light and that was to see the same scene those soldiers following the commander had seen.
Fu Chen: Captain Lin! Take 200 halberd troops and harass the enemy!! Captain Xin same for you but do hit and run tactics with cavalry!! Make sure you can draw a good amount of them out where the trap is!!
Soon Captain Lin and Xin started drawing the barbarians in towards the forest were Fu Chen laid waiting with 600 archers who would rain fire upon the pursuing enemy.
Captain Lin: YOU BASTARDS WHY DON’T YOU COME FIGHT US!? ARE YOU, COWARDS!? TO THINK WE LOST TO COWARDS WHO CAN’T EVEN ATTACK A SMALL GROUP LIKE US!!!!
Soldiers: COWARDS!!!
PATHETIC!!!
RUN BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!!
When Captain Lin started harassing the barbarians by insulting them and breaking a few wooden walls, the barbarians already started rushing out.
enemy soldiers: GIVE CHASE!!!! KILL THOSE RABID BASTARDS!!!! SLAUGHTER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!
Captain Lin muttered something under his breath before he and his unit retreated while being chased by the barbarians.
Soon the exhausted barbarians gave chase after Captain Lin and his unit and didn’t realize they left their camp and wondered deep within the forest leading to the center.
enemy soldiers: WHERE DID THOSE BASTARDS GO!?
SPLIT UP FIND THEM!!!!!
SLAUGHTER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!
LEAVE NONE ALIVE!!!
Somewhere behind a tree….
Captain Lin: Lieutenant those blockheaded bastards fell for it!!
Hahaha!!!!
Fu Chen who was in a tree laughed before raising his hand which revealed the hidden archers ready to fire.
Fu Chen: BROTHERS KILLL!!!! LEAVE NO ONE!!!
RUMBLE!!!
The group of barbarians who were about to split up heard rumbling which made them turn around and there they saw 600 cavaliers charging straight for them while a few infantry units came up from behind.
Barbarians: DAMNIT THOSE TRICKY BASTARDS!!!
BROTHERS BLOCK THEM!!!!
TO THE DEATH!!!!
FOR THE PRINCE!!!!!
URRRAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!
Even though those 1thousand to 800ish enemy soldiers were surrounded their undying fighting spirit didn’t waver even in the face of death as they met the cavalry and infantry head-on.
An hour later….
Captain Lin and Xin: ALRIGHT CLEAN UP!!! LEAVE NOTHING TO IDENTIFY A BATTLE TOOK PLACE HERE!!!! HIDE THE BODIES AND RETRIEVE THE ARROWS WE SHALL GET READY FOR THE NEXT WAVE!!!!
Fu Chen’s strategy was to lure massive and small amounts of barbarians hence forth weakening them so when they charge, they shall give it their all even if it means death. Hit and run, taunting, traps anything you could think of was in play. The lefts Sudden comeback was told by a messenger which made the right and center armies inspired and were awaiting their turn for glory.
