In The Three Kingdoms With A System! 60 Chapter.59 Preparations And Ambush!

Six months had pa.s.sed and with it, Autumn was near and with it, Lu Bu had started his plans against the Huang clan who started ama.s.sing troops and each border, of all the armies under Lu Bu the one that grew the most was the Black Horse Army which now stood 20thousand strong and was sent to the Southeast border they shared with the Huang's and was stationed near Gao Shun who was just north of him.

Wuwei Fort…

Above the wooden walls of the fort a figure could be seen as a few others stood behind him, this figure was Tianlong along with Fu Chen, Lu Lingqi, Shi Jun, Hou Fengxian, Zhao Fu, Kong Feng, Guan Hai, Sima Zang, Ai Feng, Hanan Zhou, Sima Ying.

Fu Chen was the first to speak, My lord! What is the battle plan? Are we to hold or push out?

Tianlong who was staring at the fields of hills and plains surrounded by forest was awoken by Fu Chen's voice and spoke, I don't know yet father hasn't released the declaration yet but if we get the go-ahead, we shall ambush their army!

As Tianlong spoke, he walked to the table which had a map on it with figurines,

Tianlong: we shall bait them with Captains Shi Jun and Ai Feng who shall lead 5thousand while 5thousand led by Lu Lingqi shall circle behind through the forest same for Hou Fengxian who shall go from the right while the other 5thousand shall stay as reserves.

After Tianlong was finished speaking everyone gathered around and saw the figurines set up like a u-shaped y.

Fu Chen: mm! good plan my lord! Shall we start the preparations for it or wait for the messenger?

Tianlong: Lu Lingqi and Hou Fengxian! You two shall depart now so you won't be spotted by the enemy!

Lu Lingqi and Hou Fengxian nodded before they headed off to gather their units.

Soon two hours had pa.s.sed, and it was noon from the fort a single horse could be seen riding towards it, which Tianlong saw and shouted, Open the gates! The messenger arrives! Shi Jun! Ai Feng! You can Set off! I wish you good luck on your part!

Shi Jun: mm! we shall return with success my lord!

After that Shi Jun and Ai Feng set off with their army of 5thousand which the messenger saw from afar and was startled but kept riding towards the southern gate which was open.

Messenger Jinn: General Lu! General Lu! I bring news! Lord Lu Bu has declared war over Wuwei with Huang Dan's faction!

Tianlong: Good! good! Messenger you can return to the lord and say General Lu shall be the first to move I wish for the lord's grace on my a.s.sault!

Messenger Jinn was shocked when he hears Tianlong and remembered the 5thousand that rode off, is general Lu only attacking with 5thousand?

Tianlong shook his head and spoke, I've set a trap for them if they take the bait, they shall be devoured by my 20thousand! And we'll have a clear path into Wuwei! If possible, I ask a request of the lord to have 8thousand troops transferred here for 20thousand might not hold if we encounter more of their garrisons and one of their big armies!

Messenger Jinn was shocked when he heard this young generals plan before he spoke, General Lu I wish you luck on your campaign! I shall relay your message to the Lord!

After saying this the messenger started to ride off again to Dunhuang.

Tianlong: someone! Send word to Captains Lu and Hou to be ready we have the go-ahead! Have the 5thousand Ferocious Demon Cavalry be ready I shall personally lead them!

Messenger: right away my lord!

One hour later…

After Tianlong gave the orders sights of an enemy army appeared and was continuing straight for Shi Jun and Ai Feng who were on the hills.

Shi Jun POV…

Captain Shi! Captain Shi! Enemies have been spotted and are heading straight for us!

Shi Jun: Men stay calm! Spears forward! Form spear wall! Archers fire arrows ready while they're in the trees create some smoke!

Ai Feng also spoke up, Sword and Shields to the left and right of the spears shield wall! We shall defend this hilltop till the end!

Ai Feng, who was on his horse, used his qi and amplified his voice while his staff glowed with a yellow haze of light appearing now and then.

When the troops heard one of their commander's voice they were filled with a strange power.

Soldiers: URRAA! Till the end! For the lord!

Shi Jun nodded at Ai Feng's action before he shouted, Archers fire! Spear wall hold steady!

Soon the sky was filled with streaks of orange before they disappeared.

Shi Jun who saw the thousand fire arrows launched he shouted, Archers! Switch to regular arrows let them come to us!

Enemy POV…

The enemy army here was the border army of 25thousand led by Huang Dan's third brother Huang Chen.

Soldier: general! General! Orange lights are in the sky!

Huang Chen who heard the soldier looked to the sky to see the already falling fire arrows above them!

Huang Chen: Quick! Get out of the forest! We must not get trapped in the flames!

The soldiers who heard Huang Chen looked to the sky before some fled in the opposite direction while others followed Huang Chen's orders.

Shi Jun: Good! With this the lord's plan is set!

Minutes later the forest caught fire and smoke filled the forest obscuring the enemy soldier's vision and made their chest hurt.

Huang Chen: GAH! Men try not to breathe in the smoke!

Huang Chen had done a good job leading about 24thousand almost out the forest while others were caught in the flames or fled.

Wuwei fort…

Tianlong who had been looking towards Shi Jun and Ai Feng's army saw smoke rising in the air and shouted, Messengers! Send word to Lu Lingqi and Hou Fengxian to be ready the enemy is taking the bait!

Tianlong Ferocious Demon Cavalry! To the south gate we shall hit them in the back when they take the bait!

Cavalier 1: its finally time?!

Cavalier 2: hahaha! With the lord leading we shall claim victory and rack achievements for our move!

Cavalier 3: Wuwei here we come!

Tianlong hearing the cavalier's talk smiled and shouted, BROTHERS! WITH THIS ONE MOVE THE WORLD SHALL KNOW OF OUR BLACK HORSE ARMY AND MY FEROCIOUS DEMON CAVALRY OF THE NORTH!

When the cavaliers heard their lord, their blood boiled and cried out, URAAAHH!

Tianlong: Good! With this momentum we shall sweep the enemy! We march!

After Tianlong raised the Ferocious Demon Cavalry's morale they set off from the south into the woods.

One hour later…Huang Chen and his army of 24thousandish emerged from the forest and saw Shi Jun and Ai Feng's army waiting for them and Huang Chen's forehead vein was seen.

Huang Chen: Brothers form up! We shall slaughter those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds for trying to burn us!

Soon Huang Chen and his 24thousand advanced full speed towards Shi Jun and Ai Feng.

Shi Jun: Archers! Fire we shall whittle them down as they close in!

Somewhere on the left…

Lu Lingqi who had been waiting with her 5thousand saw the enemy emerging and started preparing to charge.

Rumble! Rumble!

Lu Lingqi who heard rumbling turned to her right and saw a flag with the Lu symbol and 5thousand cavalry following behind heading pa.s.sed her army and towards the smoking forest.

Lu Lingqi: Someone! Send word to two-thousand-man captain Ji to take 2thousand cavalry and follow the commander!

Tianlong who was riding heard Lu Lingqi and shouted out, Thanks sis be careful with just 3thousand!

Lu Lingqi ignored Tianlong's shout but had a smile on her face and spoke, Archers, move up be ready to fire when we charge!

Shi Jun and Ai Feng looked at the swarm of troops incoming and looked at each other before smiling.

Shi Jun: brings back memories right when we nine were always surrounded but still made it out!

Ai Feng: hahaha indeed brother! We always escaped with their treasure right in front of their eyes!

Shi Jun: archers! Double-shot!

when Shi Jun spoke of his status as one of the twenty great bow warriors Tianlong gave him permission to control all archers and their training and led to them learning double shot.

Archer 1: hahaha they won't know what hit em!

Archer 2: send them off boys!

Archer 3: to the depths they go!

As the archers spoke the sky was covered in a hail of arrows gliding towards the enemy.

Huang Chen: d.a.m.nit! Shields up! Avoid the arrows brothers!

Enemy soldiers: Aaah! My eye it hurts! thump! My leg! Agggh!

As the hail of arrows fell many soldiers had their eyes, arms body, or head filled with arrows while somewhere lucky to raise their shields in time.

Huang Chen: Keep charging were almost there!

Although Huang Chen was keeping their morale up the soldiers were shattered from the events that happened but kept strong while hanging on a thin line.

Shi Jun: Spears advance! We shall meet them downhill! Sword and shields. .h.i.t their flank! Archers fire!

Ai Feng who heard Shi Jun moved and was the first to ride downhill while the spears followed after him.

Shi Jun: hahaha give them h.e.l.l Feng!

After Shi Jun said that he pulled a bow from his back and started shooting.

Huang Chen: they dare charge us?! Come brothers we shall slaughter these men of Lu Bu charge!

Boom!

Both armies collided the enemy soldiers were knocked down or fell back falling down the hill while some stood their ground.

Ai Feng: where is this rat, Huang Chen?! Come face this captain, Ai Feng!

As Ai Feng said that his staff exploded from his side piercing into an enemy soldier's head before sweeping to the side knocking three soldiers back.

Lu Lingqi from afar could see the battle begin and spoke everyone charge! We shall hit their right! Archers fire!

Similar on the right Hou Fengxian rode out with his 2thousand cavalry and held his battle-ax high as he pierced into the enemies left with this cavalry.

Hou Fengxian: hahaha Ai Feng come! let us see who can slay this Huang Chen first HA!

Hou Fengxian swept his battle-ax through two soldiers' bodies sending their top half flying while he trampled the fallen soldiers from the shock of the charge.

Ai Feng: don't you dare Fengxian I shall kill him first AGH!

Ai Feng Spun his staff knocking back and killing the soldiers surrounding him as he strode deeper into the 20thosand which was besieged by two sides soon to be four.

Lu Lingqi saw that the enemy ignored her incoming force and smiled, we shall steal the kill of Huang Chen! Charge men!

After Lingqi's words her 3thousand sped up and were upon the enemy and charged straight through their back which was turned.

Enemy soldiers: Aaah! Behind us! Nooo! My eye! Don't! Augh!

Huang Chen who was mounted on his horse in the middle saw three flags bearing the symbols Lu, Hou, and Ai while a Shi blew in the wind from afar.

Huang Chen: What?! Lu Bu is here? No, it can't be it must be his son or daughter! Hahaha I shall kill one of them for this disaster!

Huang Chen's eyes were bloodshot as his veins pulsed as he held his saber while striding towards Lu Lingqi.

From the sky the army of 19thosuand was being pierced from three sides two sides met while one dug deeper into their backs.

From afar by the now ending forest fire, Tianlong and his force of 8thousand cavalry appeared and saw the scene of the three armies attacking the army.

Tianlong: My fierce Devils! We shall cause a river of blood in this charge and shall have the world know of this general's cavalry! Charge!

As Tianlong said that rumbling could be heard as from the forest a giant arrow emerged as it headed towards the 19thousand.

Huang Chen who was rushing towards Lingqi turned to his right and saw a flag giant flag with many others bearing Lu and his face sunk.

Huang Chen had long heard of Lu Bu's prodigy son who was a general and heard of his feats thought the moment the fire began he fell for his trap.

Huang Chen: d.a.m.n! I've been had! It seems I shall be going, first brothers!

With Tianlong appearing from behind Huang Chen's army was now encircled his life hanging on a thread as four warriors pushed to claim his head.

An hour pa.s.sed and the army of 19thousand was down to 8thousand as Huang Chen gave up trying to kill Lu Lingqi and held the defenses which were slowly collapsing.

Huang Chen: hold the right! Send 200 more reinforcements else a breach will appear! Even if we die brothers I shall give them a challenge if they wish to claim my head!

Tianlong who sat upon his horse overlooked this last stand from the hilltop where his personal guard was and saw Huang Chen surrounded by Ai Feng, Lu Lingqi, and Hou Fengxian closing in almost upon him.

Tianlong: Good! With this we can move unhindered from the north! Someone!

After Tianlong called out a messenger appeared and knelt before Tianlong.

Tianlong: Messenger you are to tell the 4thousand cavaliers led by Shi Jun to scout ahead and make way for Dunhuang and tell them of this victory!
