In The Three Kingdoms With A System - Chapter.62 A Great Battle to Overcome Wuwei or Fail with his Head!

Enemy POV…

The morning had come and with-it Chen Zuren would stay up the entire night debating his situation.

Chen Zuren Staying up saw Tianlong and his army make for the hills north of him and knew what he was planning.

Chen Zuren: Sigh! To meet such a genius in war! to make even my instincts feel rusty! He must have a heavy reinforcement coming so he’s planning safe if lord hears of this defeat and my return my head shall roll hahaha!

Though Chen Zuren was 34 he was thrown into war at the age of 11 as he was an orphan with something to prove and won fame for his years and made general at 25.

Chen Zuren looked silently at Tianlong’s army before speaking.

Chen Zuren: hahaha! This Lion of the north shall bear its fang for a youngster if I fail this battle to come!

Day had fully risen and Chen Zuren and his army of 15thousand marched slowly towards Tianlong as the second trailed even slower behind them…

Tianlong, who was atop his horse, saw this action and knew the decisive battle was happening today.

Tianlong saw a great Aura leading the army as it formed an ethereal but solid lion marching towards them.

Tianlong: hmph! This Chen Zuren! To push me with such decisiveness I heard stories from father about his tails hear under Ma Teng in the south and even the Han in the rebellion since he wishes to play, I shall accompany him!

Soon after Tianlong gave orders for Shi Jn to command the archers while Ai Feng, Hou Fengxian, Kong Feng Lu Lingqi and Sima Ying took to the left and right respectively while Hanan Zhou, Sima Zang, Guan Hai and Zhao Fu in the center in the 3rd 4th and 5th lines.

An hour had passed, and the slow marching Chen Army arrived halfway and stopped before continuing,

Chen Zuren: Have the cavaliers go forward! Spears behind! Sword and Shield infantry half shall hit their left and the others in the centers have Fujian and Fusin command them!

Chen Zuren although cautious saw Tianlong’s intent to defend and started his attack.

Tianlong who saw Chen Zuren begin his attack Stared as he saw the cavalry rush forward as infantry followed behind.

Tianlong: Everyone Brace we shall hold them here till our reinforcements arrive!

An hour passed and the battle between the two soon started as they both clashed Tianlong’s army was no pushover as the held strong against the enemy cavalry.

Chen Zuren: Have Gyuki take 500 and take to the center and lead the charge! Have Sugen take 300 to the right he shall command a medium-sized unit there at the front!

Tianlong saw as his first line started getting broken through but held fast as he spoke out, Have Sima Ying probe that new captain in the center and have Sima Zang cover his rear and flank in case another captain is there!

Tianlong and Chen Zuren’s battle of tactics begun as their men clashed as they dispatched reinforcements where fierce fighting was happening.

An hour passed and Chen Zuren who personally joined broke through the 2nd line as he and his men rushed forward their allies were hitting them on their flank.

Tianlong who saw the 500 sword and shield infantry on his right and in the center soon saw Chen Zuren’s idea and looked on silently before speaking.

Tianlong: so, he seeks to cripple the center? Hmph! Send word for Fu Chen to command the right! Same for the left but Shi Jun the archers in the center are fine without him! If he wishes to encircle this lord’s army, he needs more than just dumb momentum!

After Tianlong set Fu Chen and Shi Jun out to the flanks, they quickly consolidated the breaches before killing one of their captains in the flanks.

Chen Zuren who saw his attack being halted frowned at the situation but had a smile still.

Chen Zuren: have Xin Shun take over the center again I shall return! Have Fuying strike out with 2thousand cavaliers on the right and try breaking their 3rd line! We must breakthrough at least their 4th line today!

Sometime after Chen Zuren’s orders the movements between the two stopped as It turned into a brawl that would go on till night where Chen Zuren retreated with his tail behind him as another 7thousand died from their fierce confrontation.

Tianlong stood looking at the starry sky as the moon slowly emerged and rose into the sky illuminating the once vicious brawl of earlier and laid blood guts and bodies.

Tianlong: How many have we lost?

Fu Chen: my lord, although when the enemy was wreaking havoc on our flanks, we saved most of the men but still lost some! But the number is 3thousand

Tianlong: That’s a good number we killed 7thousand of them that’s 14thousand gone I have faith our support shall arrive tomorrow!

Tianlong after talking to his captains before returning to his tent…

Tianlong who was sitting on his futon pulled a book out before opening it, this book was the Snake Lord’s Yinyang Circulation which he got at the martial district.

Tianlong who read the manual spoke to himself, to combine both water and fire while combining light and dark? If my Dantian and meridians represent the base my qi and spirit shall serve as my yin and yang!

Tianlong who quickly saw the intent of the manual sat cross-legged and started drawing his qi and spirit into his Dantian.

Kobe: [Host has drawn 5% of qi and spirit host wishes to acquire balance and must achieve 50% for both sides!]

Tianlong: Kobe! Alert me if I go over the required!

After that 5 hours had passed and Tianlong had Drawn 45% for Qi and Spirit almost reaching balance as his two powers fought in his body they started calming down after reaching 45%…

Tianlong who sat meditating opened his eyes and spoke, damn! Just a little more and I would reach balance for them! but alas he must have started already!

As Tianlong said that a shout was heard, General! General! The enemy attack 16thousand strong!

Tianlong when he heard that number though did, we really killed half their army already?

Tianlong stormed out his tent startling the captain.

Tianlong: mm! you can return to your post have Shi Jun Brief me when I get there!

About 30mins later Tianlong who arrived at the front line saw Chen Zuren’s army fiercely clashing with his 11thousand, after losing 3thousand from the flanks yesterday.

Tianlong arrived before Shi Jun who was giving out orders to the soldiers.

Tianlong: Good work Shi Jun! I shall take over now!

Shi Jun who heard Tianlong turned to see Tianlong whose body gave off a heroic aura while life seemed to glow around him.

Shi Jun bowed towards Tianlong before speaking, Congratulations lord you’ve improved your cultivation!

Tianlong: Oh? Why do you say this Shi Jun?

Shi Jun was stunned before asking, Does the lord not know of his breakthrough?

Tianlong: My breakthrough? When Tianlong thought about it, he remembered he was a step away from a second-class general!

Tianlong: hahaha let’s see if he dares to attack tomorrow after this. Someone! Send word to the Ferocious Demon Cavalry we ride!

Tianlong ho emerged from his cultivation with his newfound breakthrough rushed forward with half of his army to meet Chen Zuren.

Lu Lingqi who was in the center heard rumbling and turned to see her brother’s cavalry chasing after a figure ho drew all the attention from his heroic aura.

Lu Lingqi: Be safe brother!

Shi Jun atop the hill saw his lord strikeout and his heroic aura filled the area as his Cavaliers followed after him before the pierced through the right of the enemy forces.

Shi Jun: hahaha! With this we shall surely win! Everyone! Draw out everything you have the decisive moment has come we shall stall the enemy for the lord as he slays their leader!!

Soldiers: Uraah!

When the soldiers heard their general was rushing forth to slay the enemy’s general their morale skyrocketed as they screamed out.

Tianlong along with his demonic cavalry quickly broke through the defenses slowly but surely going to reach Chen Zuren.

Tianlong: 500 of you break off to the right here same for the left reap as many lives you can brothers!

Tianlong who would send out detachments into the enemy lines which were in chaos from the two attacks by Tianlong’s army made his stride towards Chen Zuren easier as he was upon the 5th defensive line already and Chen Zuren’s flag blew in the air from afar

Chen Zuren saw Tianlong and his cavalry which had broken through his fifth line and knew he would soon be upon him.

Chen Zuren: muster all the injured and have them make for the left and stall their general! If we wish to win, we must stabilize the lines and men!

Another hour passed and with it the Black Horse Army who had been on the defense finally struck out and wasn’t stopping in this fierce battle and Tianlong finally arrived…

A figure stopped atop his horse as he held his spear that was dripping blood while thousands of cavaliers stood ready behind him.

Tianlong: old dog! You’re the first General of the instinctual type I’ve met and shall send you off with honor for holding me this long!!

As Tianlong spoke his heroic aura was fully released as his blood-red eyes glowed as his brownish hair blew in the wind followed by his white cape and his qi slowly rose Tianlong was like the embodiment of a War God.

Chen Zuren: hahaha! To think I would meet such a genius in cultivation as well! Come Young tiger! If you can defeat this Old Lion, I shall serve you and disband this army in the wind!

When Tianlong heard Chen Zuren, he looked at him differently as he saw his eyes weren’t lying.

Tianlong: For a prideful figure like you to just go quietly? What reason is behind this?

Chen Zuren: to follow such a young lord isn’t a shame at all when you’re going to meet deaths end at your return!

Chen Zuren had a lofty aura as he talked about his death upon his return if he did manage to save some of the army and retreat.

Tianlong: good! Let us start then! Ha

After Tianlong spoke his spear like a snake struck out aiming for Chen Zuren’s head but was blocked by Chen Zuren’s glaive.

Chen Zuren: it’s going to take more than just that if you wish to bring this old Lion down! Arrgh!

Before Tianlong could pull his spear back a glimmer of silver flashed before him causing him to bend backward as he pulled his spear back guarding the following blow which flung Tianlong back.

Tianlong: ha!

Piercing his spear in the ground Tianlong caught himself as he looked towards Chen Zuren and his Silvery Blue qi swam around his Glaive from bottom up.

Seeing this Tianlong muttered to himself, I see! So, you can use it this way too!

Tianlong who suddenly closed his eyes surprised everyone as he just held his spear

Chen Zuren: have you given up brat?! Hmph I shall claim your head if you can only go this far ha!

Chen Zuren who attacked swept forth with a mighty aura as his glaive was about to reach Tianlong.

Tianlong whose eyes were closed opened suddenly and had a purple glow before he struck out.

Ding!

Aah!

The impact from the two-weapons colliding brought forth a cloud of dust that slowly went away, and all saw as Chen Zuren was pierced in the shoulder by a purple glow while his glaive laid broken in his hand.

Chen Zuren: whose shoulder was pierced laughed out aloud, hahaha! The young surpass the old! Lu Tianlong! You’re the first person to ever defeat this lion and shall hold my promise I shall serve the young lord!

Tianlong: hahaha! Good! Good! With this we have won the battle of Wuwei! Soldiers of Huang Dan! Your general has surrender follow after him or follow death to those that resist!

Striking while the iron was hot Tianlong’s heroic voice traveled through the entire battlefield crushing the last morale of the enemy soldiers who surrendered soon after.
