Chapter 785 Flying Tigers Head South to Intercept and Kill Yuan Hong!
Meanwhile, Li Cunxiao, who had been waiting in Hengzhou with his three thousand cavalrymen whom he had named the "Flying Tiger Cavalry" and who were assigned to him by Su Ye for training, finally had his first real combat mission.
When Su Ye's order came, Li Cunxiao felt an indescribable surge of excitement.
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Cunxiao immediately summoned the Flying Tiger Cavalry and quickly relayed Su Ye's orders to his troops.
Li Cunxiao, fresh out of school, was full of youthful vigor and had no time to sit still.
In other words, Su Ye, in order to appease him and keep him in Hengzhou, assigned three thousand cavalrymen from his command to him so he could have some fun.
Otherwise, Li Cunxiao, who was at the age of being brave and fierce, would not have been able to stay still during this time.
Therefore, I've finally received a task and have something to do.
This immediately excited Li Cunxiao, who was eager for conquest, like a husky.
"Brothers of the Flying Tiger Cavalry, our time has come! Follow me south to Luzhou to serve His Highness!"
With a loud horn call, three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalrymen were ready to go. Li Cunxiao stood at the forefront, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly.
After a brief preparation, Li Cunxiao found his deputy, Xiong Kuohai.
The burly man, as imposing as a mountain, stood beside the stable, inspecting his equipment, the heavy bronze staff gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
"General, we've been waiting for you! Has the lord assigned us a mission?"
"Haha, our Flying Tigers are finally going to open for business!"
Upon seeing Li Cunxiao approach, Xiong Kuohai immediately revealed his hearty smile and spoke in a booming voice.
Li Cunxiao smiled slightly and nodded. He then briefly told Xiong Kuohai about the mission. After a brief discussion on the specific action plan, the two hit it off and quickly finalized the battle plan.
"Haha, the day has finally come! My stick has been itching for a good beating! General, when shall we set off?"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Kuohai's eyes flashed with excitement, and he laughed loudly.
"Let's not delay, let's set off immediately, the brothers are all waiting for us."
Li Cunxiao patted Xiong Kuohai on the shoulder and laughed excitedly as well.
After a brief preparation, the three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry, lightly equipped, surged out of Hengzhou like a tidal wave. The sound of their hooves thundered and dust flew everywhere. Like an arrow released from a bow, they headed straight for Luzhou, speeding along winding mountain roads and through dense forests.
After several days of trekking, Li Cunxiao finally led his Flying Tiger Cavalry to the edge of Luzhou.
The terrain here is treacherous, with rolling mountains, making it a strategic location fought over by military strategists. Li Cunxiao stood on a high ground, gazing into the distance, his heart filled with vigilance.
Just as Li Cunxiao was pondering how to proceed, the silence was broken by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.
A cavalry unit clad in purple battle robes rapidly approached, their banners embroidered with a mysterious purple ghostly symbol, exuding an imposing aura.
Li Cunxiao felt a chill and immediately ordered the Flying Tiger Cavalry to prepare for battle.
However, when the cavalry approached, they did not launch an attack, but instead stopped not far from Li Cunxiao.
"Could it be General Li Cunxiao in person? I am Qiao Shefei, the captain of the Purple Nether Team under Meng Zhang, the Yellow Turban commander-in-chief of Luzhou."
"I have come here to meet the general on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang."
A general in a purple robe stepped out from the ranks. He was thin, clad in purple armor, wielding two swords, and had a resolute face. He bowed to Li Cunxiao.
Hmm... Meng Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, is actually one of His Highness's men, and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in Luzhou have become His Highness's lackeys.
Li Cunxiao only learned of this matter when he had just received the mission.
To this, Li Cunxiao can only say...it's hard to comment.
However, he wasn't being sentimental at all. Li Cunxiao himself wasn't a rigid person who insisted on orthodoxy, nor did he feel any sense of belonging to the Great Qian Dynasty.
Moreover, on Iron Cage Mountain, the Silver Spear Ancestor did not instill any stance in Li Cunxiao.
However, Li Cunxiao still felt somewhat aggrieved about his master's fate of resigning from his official post and going into seclusion because of the Daqian Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Cunxiao did not have any negative feelings about his lord's actions of frantically wielding a hoe against the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty.
I even have a vague feeling...that it's a little exciting!
"So it's Captain Qiao Shefei. I've long admired your name, Cunxiao."
"We are here in Luzhou on the orders of our lord. We hope Captain Qiao will give us your guidance."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao felt relieved and immediately returned the greeting.
"General Li, you are too kind. Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang has already learned of your arrival from His Highness and has specifically ordered me to wait here."
"Yuan Hong, Yuan Shao and other members of the Yuan family, as well as those powerful clans, are fleeing south. We have a clear understanding of their route."
"Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang's intention is for the general to lead the Flying Tiger Cavalry to intercept and annihilate them, ensuring they are wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Qiao Shefei laughed and said.
Well... Qiao Shefei finally learned from Meng Zhang not long ago who his henchman really was.
This deeply moved Qiao Shefei. What do you call this? This is the Commander-in-Chief's trust!
He had finally become the most trusted henchman of the entire Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou!
Thinking of this, Qiao Shefei curiously looked at Li Cunxiao.
He had long heard of Yuan Hong's reputation in Yanzhou. After all, the "Flying Immortal Spear God" who had a love-hate relationship with him in Yanzhou had previously clashed with the "Number One War God" of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, the Bull Demon King, for a long time.
Yuan Hong, who is Gong Xiaochuan's equal, is naturally no less formidable.
Therefore, he had already learned from Meng Zhang that Meng Zhang's evaluation of Yuan Hong was no less than that of the Yellow Turban's number one general, the Bull Demon King.
As for Qiao Shefei, he had never witnessed Yuan Hong's strength, but he had truly experienced the combat power of "Flying Immortal Gun God" Gong Xiaochuan and the Bull Demon King.
In Qiao Shefei's view, Li Cunxiao's solo mission to intercept Yuan Hong was no different from going to intercept the Bull Demon King all by himself!
Moreover, Meng Zhang seemed quite confident, not like he wanted to trick the guy on the other side.
In other words, does this seemingly green young player really have this ability?
Looking at Li Cunxiao, who was full of enthusiasm, Qiao Shefei felt that this world was too magical.
Not long ago, he was still basking in his own glory at being promoted to a junior war god, and even thought that the strength of the "first war god" of the Yellow Turbans of Luzhou, the Bull Demon King, was already the pinnacle of the world.
Now, another newcomer, Li Cunxiao, has appeared who wants to take on the big boss right away!
This is absolutely insane, Qiao Shefei thought.
