Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2005: Dongcang's defeat, Guangyin's end

In the past, it was usually the brave and warlike Huangfu Gui who was on the front line.

Huangfu Duan, who had relatively insufficient hands-on ability, sat firmly in the rear army and took control of the overall situation.

However, in recent days, because Huangfu Gui broke his arm and was seriously injured, the positions of the two people had to be temporarily reversed.

But it was also because of this that, unfortunately, Huangfu Gui, who was in the rear army, was the first to encounter Xue Rengui.

"Ding, Xue Rengui's three-arrow skill is activated.
Three Arrows: The general conquered Tianshan with three arrows, and the warrior sang a long song into Hanchuan. This is Xue Rengui's unique skill.

Effect 1: In the continuous arrow state, the first arrow reduces the enemy's force value by 2 point, the second arrow reduces the enemy's force value by 3 points based on the first arrow, and the third arrow reduces the enemy's force value by points based on the previous two arrows. After three arrows, this effect disappears.

Effect 4: In the One Bow and Three Arrows state, when dealing with a single target, it reduces its individual military strength by 3 points; when dealing with multiple targets, it reduces their overall military strength by points. It will become invalid after the attack ends.

Note: The three-arrow skill effect can be activated for the first three arrows in each battle, and the probability of activation is greatly reduced afterwards. Moreover, every time it is activated in each battle, the probability of activation in the next battle is greatly reduced. Moreover, when it is activated together with the negative skill effects of other skills, the actual activation effect of other negative skills is halved.

Effect three: When using the exclusive weapon Zhentian Bow with the Cloud Piercing Arrow, in addition to the divine bow weapon bonus, an additional arrow weapon bonus is obtained.

Huangfu Gui is affected by the second effect of Xue Rengui's Three Arrows skill, and his force is reduced by 4. His current force drops to 82."

The injury of a broken arm has a huge impact on a person's strength.

Theoretically speaking, once an arm is broken, it will not only lead to a decrease in basic strength, but will also most likely lead to a degradation in skill effects.

After all, the difference between the strength of one hand and the strength of two hands is huge, not to mention the impact on body coordination after losing an arm.

However, the impact of losing an arm on different people is different. After all, everyone has a different path to martial arts and is good at different things, so the final impact is also different.

The impact of someone breaking an arm while using a long weapon and someone breaking an arm while using a short weapon is very different!
However, after Huangfu Gui lost his arm, the impact on his strength was still quite great.

As a long weapon user, he couldn't even perform some basic moves with one hand. If he didn't adapt for a certain period of time, he might not even be able to exert 30% of his combat power at the beginning. His current situation was considered good.

Now, he was targeted by Xue Rengui's three arrows, and his final fate was predictable.

In order to kill the enemy with one strike, Xue Rengui shot three arrows with one bow, blocking all the ways Huangfu Gui could dodge.

Even if he was in his prime, he might not have survived, let alone in his current crippled state.

Since Xue Rengui broke through to become a divine general, he has rarely had the opportunity to take action, unlike other generals in the Han army who were active on the battlefield.

Therefore, he was almost ranked last in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. However, it did not mean that his strength was really at the bottom of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.

"General Nangong, focus on destroying the main force of the enemy cavalry. The rest can be left alone for now!"

"They can't escape!"

Xue Rengui put away his bow and held his halberd, briefly looked around the battlefield, and gave instructions to Nangong Shi, the commander of the Black Cavalry beside him.

The Black Knights are now divided into five parts. Although the number of Black Knights in each step is only half of what it used to be, the number of commanders has increased from three to five.

As the leader of the Black Cavalry, Ye Jiyang also served as one of the five Black Cavalry commanders, accompanying the emperor and fighting with him. The remaining four Black Cavalry commanders were Wang Yi, Fang Tianci, Taishi Ci, and Nangong Shi, four brave and capable generals.

Wang Yi and Wang Zisheng are descendants of the Han royal family and are given the title of Duke of Liaoyang. Their starting point is already at the end point that others can only reach no matter how hard they work in their entire lives.

After all, the title of Duke is the pinnacle that a subject can achieve. Even among the founding heroes, only a few can attain this title.

The Da Cang Dynasty has been established for more than four hundred years, but there are no more than thirty people who can reach the rank of Duke.

As for the thirty people, except for the dozen or so who founded the country, the title of duke for the rest could only be passed down for a few generations, or even just one generation, after which they would have to be inherited by lowering their titles.

The number of dukes who have been passed down from generation to generation, in the hundreds of years of Da Cang, is only the ones who founded the country. In addition to those who founded the country, although some people later obtained the position of duke, in comparison, the gap is far.

Wang Yi and Wang Zisheng themselves hold the position of fourth-rank general of the Wuwei Army, which is equivalent to the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Yue Fei. Now, they have become one of the five commanders of the Black Cavalry.

You know, the Black Knights are equivalent to the Second Imperial Guard. Apart from Wang Zisheng, who else can occupy a high position in both Imperial Guards at the same time?

It can be said that within the entire clan, this favor is absolutely unmatched! Even Wang Yu’s younger brother cannot compare to it.

Even in the future, even Wang Yu’s son would not be able to have such a status. Of course, Wang Yu would not allow his son to have such a status.

After all, the death of Wang Yi's father, Wang Dangzhi, helped Wang Yu a lot. Some things were what his son deserved.

Just for that one incident, as long as his son didn't commit any serious crime of treason, or didn't have any fundamental problem that directly caused public outrage, he would basically not have any major problems in his life.

The remaining one is Fang Tianci, the son of Fang Zhong, the former commander of the Black Cavalry. He is as brave as his father.

People like Fang Tianci, from a fundamental point of view, are of good origin. People like this will naturally be valued by the master, even if they don't have much ability, they will not be too bad, not to mention that they have some ability.

For a lord, what he likes most is people with a good family background like Fang Tianci.

As for Taishi Ci and Nangong Shi, one was an early follower, and the other had risen through the ranks in the army in recent years. Both of them were capable enough to become one of the leaders of the Black Cavalry.

As for the former Black Cavalry commander, he was sent out to be a general. This is also the path of most Black Cavalry commanders, and they will basically become important generals.

The Black Cavalry was the training base for officers of the Zhendong Army, and it was the guarantee for Wang's control of the 300,000 Zhendong Army. Those who could climb to the position of leader in the Black Cavalry were basically die-hards. If they didn't promote such people, what kind of people would they promote?

"The general understands!"

The five black cavalry commanders went out to fight. Nangong Shi's ability to lead troops was second only to Wang Yi. He understood Xue Rengui's intention directly. After all, the enemy had many people. If they really didn't leave them any chance to survive, once they aroused their determination to die, they would inevitably suffer some unnecessary losses.

If there are too many ants, they can bite an elephant to death! How much more so if someone is forced into a desperate situation?
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of people who, after being forced into a desperate situation, turned defeat into victory and reversed the situation of the war.

And if they are given a way to survive, if they are given a choice, they will only choose to escape instead of fighting to the death.

In siege warfare, the principle of "surrounding three sides and leaving one side open" has been emphasized since ancient times. This is also the original origin of the strategy.

Although doing so would indeed let them go for a short time, but, with their four legs, could they not outrun the other two? Even if they were allowed to go for a while, they could still easily catch up with them.

Wait until the opponent is tired and then catch up. It will be easier to defeat the opponent at this time.

Therefore, at this time, they should concentrate their attention and deal with the enemy's cavalry units first. Those infantry units can be said to be a piece of meat in their mouths, the only difference is whether they eat it earlier or later.

In this way, it can be said that this matter is solved in the most convenient way and with the least loss.

Huangfu Duan's ability to lead troops is not inferior to Huangfu Gui, but he is not as brave and good at fighting as the other. It can be said that they are generals of two different styles.

But even though their fighting styles are different, the basic abilities are there. Seeing the Black Cavalry chasing and attacking their cavalry, it is almost as if they did not see the main force of the infantry.

Soon, Huangfu Duan understood Xue Rengui's evil intentions.

He would rather the Black Cavalry chased the infantry at this time. These people couldn't escape anyway, so it would be better to give him a chance to lead the cavalry to break through. At this time, he would definitely save as many as possible.

Huangfu Duan tried his best to call upon the soldiers' fighting spirit again. Rather than running away now and being caught up and killed later, it would be better to fight to the death. If one more enemy soldier died, they would suffer less loss.

However, the Dongcang soldiers had already been defeated by a single charge from the Black Cavalry. At this time, each unit was like a bunch of flies. When Xue Rengui left them a way out, they instinctively fled in all directions. Except for those soldiers who were close to Huangfu Duan, the rest of them would not be able to pay attention to Huangfu Duan's orders.

"General, it's too late!"

"At this time, all the troops are in chaos, and those who are far away can't find the general's orders at all!"

"General, I will protect you to break out first, so as to save the life. But we don't have to worry about running out of firewood!" said a general of Dongcang, protecting Huangfu Duan behind him.

When tens of thousands of soldiers are dispersed, the range can be quite large. Under the circumstance of chaotic formation, the command system cannot effectively control it. It is normal for some troops to receive orders incorrectly.

"Run, where else can you run to?"

"Without these 50,000 soldiers, the situation of Dongcang is really over!" Huangfu Duan was like a defeated rooster. He threw his sword aside, limp his legs, and sat on a big rock. He looked dejected and depressed.

He wanted to save the country from collapse in the face of national crisis, but time and fate had their own destiny. Now it seemed that he was powerless to do anything. He could only hope that other passionate men in his Da Cang royal family would not be as incompetent as him and could make a way for themselves in Da Cang.

In this way, he can rest in peace even in the underworld.

"General, if it weren't for you, my whole family would have been killed by that bully."

"Today, whoever wants to kill the general must first step over my body!"

Huangfu Zi'an, who spoke, although his abilities were not that great, he only had top-notch strength, and was always ranked at the bottom among the top-notch ones. In the army, he could not stand out at all.

However, he was loyal enough to the point of selling his life to Huangfu Duan. Therefore, he had always been Huangfu Duan's confidant, and even treated him as his son or nephew.

"Zi'an! You are still young, there is no need to risk your life here with me!" Huangfu Duan looked at Huangfu Zi'an, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little warmer.

Huangfu Zi'an, although he did not have the courage of ten thousand men, nor the ability to lead troops in battle, and was not a very smart person, he had a sincere heart.

What happened back then was just a casual act for Huangfu Duan, but Huangfu Zi'an truly repaid him with his life.

Huangfu Duan has seen it all over the years.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Huangfu Duan had been injured in his early years and had no children, so he raised Huangfu Zi'an as his son and even gave him the surname Huangfu.

The royal family's surname is not something that can be granted at will. This alone is enough to show that.

Although Huangfu Zi'an's talents are mediocre, it would be great if he could hope that his son would become successful. But even if he cannot, Huangfu Duan is confident that he can protect his son and ensure a safe and smooth life.

However, it seems that it is becoming a luxury now!

Huangfu Duan wanted Huangfu Zian to leave, but the young man shook his head stubbornly. Huangfu Duan regarded him as his son or nephew, but Huangfu Zian also regarded him as his father.

It's just that it's just a superficial ceremony.

Huangfu Duan's stubbornness made him feel heartbroken, but at the same time, he felt warm in his heart.
"Zi'an, listen to me!"

"Since the Black Cavalry has already arrived, there is no guarantee that the rebels may have more troops in Henan Province and are plotting a covert plan!"

"As a result, Guangyin's Zhongcang soldiers and Qingdi's Dayan soldiers are now facing a life-and-death crisis!"

"Zi'an, I can die, but I, Da Cang, cannot die!"

"You must tell Guangyin and Qingdi about this!"

"I entrust the kingdom of Da Cang to you!" Huangfu Duan patted Huangfu Zi'an's shoulder and said as if he had used up all his absolute strength.

He did want Huangfu Zi'an to pass the news here to Guangyin, as well as Xuanyuan Huang and Yang Su in Qingbei and Qingnan, but this was also to give Huangfu Zi'an a reason to leave.
