"Alright, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry doesn’t have any ultimate moves of the Military Spirit, so there’s no issue of splitting forces. I will dispatch a thousand n led by Zhongming to protect Marquis Chen," Hua Xiong imdiately nodded and said.
Speaking of deputy generals, Hu Zhen is actually Hua Xiong’s deputy, but Hua Xiong seldom favors Hu Zhen. Comparatively, Hua Xiong tends to show more concern for Duan Wei.
Chen Xi was also curious about this, because the matter of favoritism and estrangent can’t be avoided unless one is a saint, and since Hua Xiong never went overboard, Chen Xi couldn’t say Hua Xiong was wrong in doing so.
At that ti, Hua Xiong’s answer was that Duan Wei had similarities with Li Jue when it ca to commanding cavalry, and Li Youu believed that although Duan Wei’s aptitude was a bit lacking, he could continue to develop and secure the first chair beneath Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Hua Xiong.
Regarding Li Youu’s assessnt, not only Hua Xiong but Chen Xi generally also believed it. After all, soone like Fan Chou, who rose from a bandit to an excellent cavalry commander, does indicate Li Youu had quite the insight, prompting Chen Xi to consult Jia Xu.
Jia Xu’s reply left Chen Xi speechless, "Zhongming, if you ask, then it’s that he is ticulous, cautious, and thoughtful."
"Uh, don’t tell this isn’t what you say to others." Chen Xi rolled his eyes in exasperation at Jia Xu.
"To others, I’d say he is overly suspicious." Jia Xu replied irritably.
Maybe because Duan Wei was always suspicious and paranoid, he rarely suffered losses. Because at the slightest hint of trouble, this guy would be on high alert, which prevented in combat the fearless bravado of soone like Hua Xiong.
As for Hu Zhen, although his ability was not weak, when leading troops independently, he was not much of a thinker like Hua Xiong, but the problem was Hua Xiong’s commanding aura that made it hard for even ordinary generals to disrupt his assault. Frankly, not everyone is brave enough to provoke the opponent when theoretically unable to win.
The montum Hua Xiong exhibited when leading a charge was such that he didn’t care whether the enemy was stronger; his spirit was to win even in a battle to the death.
"Uh, doesn’t your Military Spirit Legion have an ultimate move?" Chen Xi was taken aback; the ultimate move for a Military Spirit Legion was indeed crucial.
Even considering the Trap Formation, without an ultimate move, while it was a top-notch elite, it wasn’t truly invincible, but once the ultimate move of the Military Spirit was activated, Chen Xi honestly wasn’t sure how to defend against an equal number.
"No." Hua Xiong removed his helt and scratched his head, "But the additional Military Spirit effect now is incomparably fitting for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and that’s enough."
Chen Xi nodded, feeling that Hua Xiong’s satisfaction with it ant there wasn’t much else to say, and not having an ultimate ability wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
After Hua Xiong transferred Duan Wei to Chen Xi, a thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry naturally split to one side, and Hua Xiong didn’t say much, rely giving a whistle. The Wuhuan Elite Cavalry imdiately charged over, and even Tadu showed none of his previous arrogance.
Offering loyalty to the strongest is almost the inherent nature of the Hu People, and Hua Xiong had already proven his might in the recent clash, quelling Tadu’s ambitions; such overpowering strength beyond this level wasn’t sothing he dared covet.
"Su Puyan, lead three thousand n with Zhongming to protect Marquis Chen. Tadu, you and I will go wipe out the Northern Huns tribes, and you may select any supplies you need along the way," Hua Xiong imdiately commanded Su Puyan and Tadu, and Tadu’s face lit up with joy.
"Take care, Marquis Chen, Zhongming, protect Marquis Chen well." After Su Puyan handed over the troops, Hua Xiong cupped his hands in a distant salute towards Chen Xi’s direction.
Watching Hua Xiong head to the Northern Huns camp in the north, Chen Xi and Zhou Yu exchanged a glance, and Chen Xi clearly saw Zhou Yu’s frustration; if Li Yan had held his ground back then, the Elite of Danyang would have reached this level now, but unfortunately, it hadn’t.
If before Zhou Yu didn’t have a concrete understanding of the Military Spirit Legions, then after this battle, he fully grasped that the existence of the Military Spirit Legions was enough to influence the balance of the situation.
The performance of the Elite of Danyang had already been eye-catching, yet before the Northern Huns Guards, this powerful Elite of Danyang was nearly crushed. Although cavalry naturally counters infantry, this elite force had virtually no ability to retaliate before they could even take a step.
And when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared thereafter, they almost swept aside the Northern Huns Guards, and such might even caused Zhou Yu to feel a sense of helplessness.
"Zijian, go clear out the Huns sites in the north, while we clear that one in the southeast, alright?" Chen Xi looked at the suddenly weary Zhou Yu, feigning ignorance.
"Leave five hundred n to tidy up the battlefield and escort the captives; the rest, follow to the southeast!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath to suppress the sense of powerlessness within and then addressed the entire army.
Hua Xiong’s Xiliang Iron Cavalry still lacks a bit in speed, but the Military Spirit Legions epitomize will transcending the physical body, simply put, they have endless stamina.
Other legions can’t continually advance at a charging speed, but once the cavalry reaches the heights of the Military Spirit, the concept of optimal charging distance no longer exists, as they can charge at full speed indefinitely.
This results in Hua Xiong’s speed being slightly slower compared to those top elite cavalry, but truthfully, most conventional cavalry can’t outrun the current Iron Cavalry.
Hua Xiong charged northwards, and upon reaching the Huns’ encampnt in the north, the entire Hun tribe’s camp was already in chaos. Clearly, the retreating Northern Huns Elite Cavalry had rushed back to inform their clansn of the front-line situation.
However, it was obvious Hua Xiong hadn’t arrived too late. After all, with a migrating populace of over two hundred thousand, simply informing individuals wanted so ti.
So upon observing the situation from afar, Hua Xiong wasn’t overly surprised, calmly directing his army to disperse, countless Cloud Qi swirling around, generating phantom cavalry within the military formation.
As they approached within a hundred steps of the Northern Huns camp, the chaotic rear of the camp was already yelling "The Han Army is here," followed by a disorganized rain of arrows, fuelling the Iron Cavalry’s raging assault even more fiercely.
"Kill!" With only a few steps left to the Northern Huns camp, the tents now just a short distance away, several hundred mounted knights spontaneously surged out from the chaotic camp, while Hua Xiong’s face bore a cruel smile. With a roar, over two thousand phantom knights, ford from Inner Qi, charged out from the military formation.
