Chapter 503 Overlord Cavalry
At the very front of this iron cavalry, two generals rode side by side.
One of them was a dashing figure, with an air of untamed arrogance and domineering presence between his brows—none other than Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
The other was a burly man with a face like a red date, a wild beard and hair, and deep eyes. He held a large halberd called "Xuanzhong Zhenhaiji" and rode a "Bibo Talangqi". His body was tall and strong, covered with scales as deep as the night sky, each scale shimmering with light, like a galaxy falling on the horse's back.
The horse has two horns on its head, the tips of which flash with lightning, giving it a majestic and mysterious appearance. Its four hooves are light and agile, and when it walks on air, it seems as if clouds and mist are swirling beneath its hooves, with each step accompanied by a subtle rumble of thunder, highlighting its extraordinary nature.
The ponytail is long and fluffy, and when it sways in the wind, it looks like waves are rising and a light mist is being released.
This was none other than Gonggong, the newly promoted top general under Xiang Yu!
As the strongest warrior in the Chu army of Jiangdong besides Xiang Yu, he possesses earth-shattering power. His armor is made of fine iron and engraved with patterns of mountains and rivers, as if he has gathered the power of heaven and earth into his body.
"Your Majesty, Sparrow King City is within our grasp, yet the enemy has fortified it heavily. How can we break this stalemate?"
As the Overlord rode forward, Gonggong, at the very front, asked in a deep voice, his voice like thunder, causing the surrounding air to ripple slightly.
The "Mysterious Heavy Sea Halberd" in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if it could cleave through any obstacle.
"Gonggong, look at this. Although the many cities of Quezhou are as solid as a fortress, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs under my Overlord's cavalry."
"If we press on with one decisive move and strike at their heart, we will surely throw them into disarray."
"Later, you will come with me to storm into the city and show that brat Sparrow King what true tyranny is!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile, his gaze sharp as he scanned the area ahead.
This time, they planned a surprise attack, aiming to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory.
Launch a blitzkrieg.
To be honest, this was a very risky move, going deep into enemy territory alone.
Once the King of Mahjong reacts, he will mobilize a large army to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
Even if Xiang Yu and Gonggong were incredibly skilled fighters, the Overlord Cavalry, which Xiang Yu and the Chu army had painstakingly built up by plundering Jiangdong, would likely all perish here.
However, since Xiang Yu is now leading them!
Since his debut, Xiang Yu has been undefeated in every battle.
No one in Jiangdong, including the Sparrow King's army in the north, could withstand a single blow from him.
Even Gonggong, whom the Chu army considered invincible, only made Xiang Yu expend a little more effort.
Therefore, this occurred before Xiang Yu officially suffered defeat.
All the Chu troops in Jiangdong had a mysterious confidence in Xiang Yu, believing that Xiang Yu himself led the Overlord Cavalry.
We will surely be invincible and unstoppable!
"Your Majesty, General Gonggong, how can we, the Five Tiger Generals, allow you to steal the limelight?"
"When we charge in the next moment, watch as I, Longqi, take the enemy general's head to boost our morale! My 'War Dragon' spear will surely pierce the enemy's courage!"
At this moment, Long Qi rode closer, clad in silver armor and wielding the long spear "War Dragon," looking dashing and heroic, and laughed.
"Brother Long Ju is full of heroic spirit, and Ji Bu is not far behind."
"In a moment, on the city wall, there will surely be my arrows, Ji Bu's arrows, piercing the clouds and splitting rocks, to lend Your Majesty a helping hand."
Ji Bu was not to be outdone. He wore a blue robe, carried a longbow called "Chasing the Wind" on his back, his quiver full of arrows, and his expression was calm yet sharp.
"Good! With the help of my brothers, what is there to worry about in achieving our great goal?"
"Today, we will make this Sparrow King City yet another city to submit beneath the iron hooves of our Overlord Cavalry!"
"When we charge later, you must follow closely in the footsteps of me and Gonggong, like a black dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable, striking straight at the heart of the enemy, leaving that brat Sparrow King nowhere to hide!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu laughed heartily, his heroic spirit soaring even higher.
After speaking, Xiang Yu swung the "Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd" in his hand. The halberd flashed with cold light and seemed to have the sound of a dragon's roar, which made people's hearts tremble.
The Overlord Cavalry moved with the momentum, like a black dragon emerging from the sea, heading straight for Sparrow King City.
As they moved forward, the heavy sense of oppression seemed to make the entire world tremble with fear, like a moving mountain whose edge no one could withstand.
Along the way, the Dayong Dynasty's garrison troops in some small towns were all panicked upon seeing this, and before they could react, they were defeated by the fierce offensive of the Overlord Cavalry.
Arrows rained down like locusts, iron horses and golden spears clashed, and the Overlord's cavalry was invincible, with no one able to withstand their might.
Their weapons wielded to reap the lives of the enemy, their iron hooves trampled the enemy's positions, and their battle cries shook the heavens and the earth, striking fear into the hearts of the enemy.
As they approached the city walls of Sparrow King City, Xiang Yu swung his "Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd," its blade gleaming with cold light, and a dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth.
He roared, "Break the city!" His aura surged forth, the jet-black aura blotting out the sky and instantly enveloping the city gate.
After saying that, he directly urged "Snow-Treading Black Steed" to rush towards the city gate like a black storm. With a swing of his halberd, his fierce energy surged, as if it could split the heavens and the earth. The city gate collapsed under the halberd, and the broken stones flew everywhere.
"Ding! Xiang Yu's skills War God and Overlord are activated!"
"Ding! Xiang Yu's skills War God and Overlord are activated!"
Xiang Yu's current base martial prowess is 110, his weapon is the Overlord's Heaven-Shattering Halberd (+1), his warhorse is Wuzhui (+1), his current skill "God of War" effect one grants +10 martial prowess, effect three activates once grants +5 martial prowess, and "Overlord" effect three activates grants +6 martial prowess. Xiang Yu's current martial prowess has increased to 133!
Gonggong followed closely behind, wielding the "Mysterious Heavy Sea-Shaking Halberd," his aura surging forth, deep as night, seemingly capable of devouring everything.
"Ding! Gonggong's Ancestral Witch skill activated!"
Ancestral Witches: Fighting against heaven and earth, the twelve Ancestral Witches. This is a unique skill of the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan. The actual effect varies depending on the Ancestral Witch.
Effect 1: After activation, Strength increases by 5. The stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the combat power. Each subsequent burst of Strength increases by 2, and it can be activated up to 3 times. However, for every 1 point of Strength gained, Intelligence will decrease by 5 points.
Effect 2: When Effect 1 is activated twice or more, it can deter enemies and reduce the leadership and attack power of one enemy by one point; when Effect 1 is activated four times, it will further reduce the leadership and attack power of one enemy by two points.
Effect 3: Demons control the sky, witches control the earth. When fighting against beasts with skills that exclude dragons and phoenixes, this skill can be activated instantly.
Effect 4: The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons can form a combo skill called "Heavenly Gods and Demons" with the other twelve Ancestral Witches!
Gonggong's current base attack power is 108, his divine weapon - Xuanzhong Zhenhai Halberd - +1, his warhorse - Bibo Talangqi - +1, and his skill Ancestral Witch effect - activates twice, increasing his attack power by +5 and +2. Gonggong's current attack power has risen to 117!
With a single slash, a surge of energy erupted like a tidal wave, mingling with Xiang Yu's dark aura. The city gate collapsed instantly under the combined attack of the two, and the defending soldiers panicked and fled in all directions.
