Chapter 121 – Sun Ce's Begin His Counterattack (3)
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
“Get away, do not disturb me!” Han is truly irritated, he just has found a cool place to rest, just falling asleep for a while, and suddenly his body was pressed by other people.
Han is truly tired. Standing under the sun for the whole day, his whole body has entered a state of full rest. Subconsciously his body is pushing those people with his hand.
This is truly comfortable, Han has entered deep slumber and started to dream.
Another body pressed him, a few minutes after he entered his dream. Dammit, can these guys not find other places to sleep? Why must they stick with me?
Although Han is a little angry, he did not want to open his eyes. If he is awake, maybe Old Wu will trade places with him, to be on guard under the stinging sun. So, for the best result, he just chose to close his eye. He has was sleeping for the rest shift, even if Old Wu came to look for himself, he definitely can argue with him.
And the third time comes again! Han really got angry, his patience is used up. This disturbance has to end. He needed to curl his leg upwards to become comfortable again. He really needed to look at the person who disturbed him and the one who dares stop this Grandpa Han's sleep.
Han opened his eyes fiercely, and rolled his sleeve to punch the guy who disturb his sleep.
After Han truly sobered up, he is truly stunned. Because the view is truly hellish!!!
In front of Han, there are at least 3 corpses, one of them bled to death, another was slashed on his neck and the one who just pressed him is headless.
“Little Liu? Big Dan? Lil Tiger?!” Han knows who those corpses are. They are his fellow villagers and also fellow subordinates of Old Wu. He grew up with them together, but currently he is unable to speak any words due to shock.
“SHAAA, SHAAA, SHAAAAAA!!!!!” There are shouts on the city wall. In front of Han, flame has ascended in the city wall and a lot of soldiers wearing black uniform brandishing sword are attacking his comrades. Blood everywhere.
Han finally understood. This is an enemy raid, and enemy want to occupy city wall. Outside there is no movement at all, only at city wall, these explained that these enemies come from inside the city. They climbed the city wall sneakily and attack when his comrades are resting and because of that, his brothers-in-arms died without knowing anything.
But Han's luck really good. He was pressed by his brothers-in-arms corpses and not discovered by the enemy.
“Oh, there is still those who are not dead yet!” A black-uniformed man noticed Han. He pulled out his long sword to kill Han. Han observed, from taking his stance, these people are very skilled; an elite.
“Dead, I am dead now!!!” Han has been in battlefield once, but at that time, he was only sieging Xiapi when it was led by Che Zhou for revenge against Cao for killing Chen Gui and at that time Chen Deng’s army is the superior one. But now, in the city wall, although there are signs of struggle everywhere, the one who were dead are those of Lu Bu's army. Moreover, with his fellow villagers corpses nearby him, made Han tremble with fear. The fear in his heart let that black-uniformed man notice him.
“Scared, eh?! A waste like you can become a gate guardian?! It seems Lu Bu’s army only employs garbage!” The black-uniformed man gave a wicked smile toward Han and quickly he swing his sword to kill this garbage.
“AAAAHHHHH!!!!” Han also has discovered a long sword, but he discovered it too late. He can see that black-uniformed man already closing in until he can see his rare beard.
Han closed his eye quickly, he knows that this time he cannot avoid death. He will go down to netherworld with Little Liu and the others.
“Clang!!!!” Sounds of clear iron-made material collided with each other. Han did not feel that icy cold long sword stabbing his chest but instead he heard a scream after that iron collided with each other.
“HAN, WHY ARE YOU SCARED?! THIS IS BATTLEFIELD, THERE IS NO TIME FOR BEING SCARED!!”
“This voice?!” Han's face suddenly gave a happy expression. He has heard the owner of this voice for a while now, Han actually wishes he do not hear this voice again for his whole life.
But now, Han must thank the owner of this voice.
“Old Wu!!!” Han truly surprised, he quickly turned around and it is really one-armed Old Wu who saved him. Old Wu took the long sword earlier and single-handedly blocked the mortal blow of black-uniformed man.
“One-armed? The one who blocked me is an old and disabled person?!” The black-uniformed man attack was blocked. Originally he was startled, but when he saw the people who blocked his attack, his expression turned into disdain. The one who challenged him now is an old man with only one arm.
“Heh, all of Lu Bu’s army are cowards and old and disabled people!” The black-uniformed man insulted Han and Old Wu.
"Cowards?"
Han and Old Wu's complexion become really bad. Han had not picked up the long sword because he is frozen by fear and even after he was saved, he did not have any reaction at all. And Old Wu is truly frustrated, his missing an arm is his pain for a lifetime. If this arm was not missing, then presently he should ride a warhorse with General Zhang Liao galloping toward Shiting County.
But because he is missing an arm, he can only be a gate captain. But when these black-uniformed man attacked, Old Wu was truly happy. Why is that? Because he finally had a chance to do battle again, and maybe he can die honorably in battle.
“Does Lu Bu’s army, truly have nobody worthy!” This black-uniformed man really did not respect these two. A garbage and a disabled man, can they make any difference? They will be killed just like that fearful garbage, but add one more disabled person.
“DO NOT INSULT OUR LU BU ARMY!!!!” Old Wu's complexion became truly cold. He had been in the Bing Province Army for so long. He had been there before those of Xu Province's and Guangling Army soldiers, as well as these Wancheng city's local soldiers join Lu Bu’s army.
These three newly formed division did not know the importance of being a part of Lu Bu’s army meant this Bing Province veteran.
Lu Bu is their heart, Lu Bu is the god-of-war, Lu Bu is their spirit, and their banners. These three characteristic is the one which made Lu Bu’s army.
During their stay in Bing Province. Lu Bu’s army is a nightmare for invaders. When those invaders knew Lu Bu army is nearing, those invaders fled at the sight of them and their appearance is considered as hope for the Han people
During their stay in Luoyang. Ding Yuan did not have Western Liang's cavalry like Dong Zhuo but Ding Yuan had Lu Bu’s army in his hand. With this he dares to deploy troops and declare war to Dong Zhuo.
In Hulao Gate. The coalition of all warlords who had heard of Lu Bu’s army’s reputation become very fearful and passive. They are not Lu Bu's enemy.
Even if Liu, Guan and Zhang were the one who comes out, they can only tie with Lu Bu's strength. Lu Bu's Bing Province Heavy Cavalry is the god of death to these warlords.
Cao Cao feared him, Liu Bei saw him as a threat. In the end, they allied again in order to expel Lu Bu army from Xu Province.
They have followed Lu Bu in his conquest for so many years. Those brothers of Bing Province Army are already old, but those brothers of Bing Province Army carved those characteristics of Bing Province Army in their heart and they become Lu Bu’s army.
When they live they are Lu Bu’s army, when they die they are Lu Bu’s army's ghost. They held Lu Bu’s army in reverence. As a sacred organization.
But now, the enemy is spouting insult. Old Wu has truly gotten angry. This good natured one-armed old man, no person has provoked him to this extent.
Even in Chang'an when they were expelled by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Even when in Xu Province when expelled by Cao and Liu Bei.
Even when they are besieged and have no retreat, even when they are like a stray dog.
Old Wu has never been this mad.
Even when Old Wu lost his arm in Kaiyang, he is still calm.
”DAMN YOU!!!!” Old Wu changed. In Han's eyes, Old Wu has become truly terrifying. His whole body emitted killing intent and his eyes suddenly became red. This is not an eye of a human, these are the eyes of a hungry beast.
Old Wu has become a wolf. Han knows that Old Wu has become a lone wolf who had been out from the wolf pack. Although he has left the pack, he still have the characteristic of a wolf.
“HAH, WANT TO KILL ME?! A COWARD AND A DISABLED PERSON WANTs TO KILL ME?! DO NOT JOKE WITH ME!!!!” the black-uniformed man smiled contemptuously. He began to wonder, if Lu Bu’s army is only at this level, why should his lord bother to send them out to capture city wall, not directly assault them in the city?
This half-day, the number of Lu Bu’s army died in his hands were not more than ten people.
“I AM NOT A COWARD, I WILL BE YOUR OPPONENT, JUST A DISABLED PERSON IS ENOUGH TO KILL YOU!!!!” Old Wu coldly retorted “My name is Wu Zun. I am from Jinyang. I was once belonged to Bing Province Heavy Cavalry. Now, I am gate captain!”
“What good comes from telling me this? Are you hoping that I will tell my younger generation about you?!” The black-uniformed man teased Old Wu.
“I tell you this, so you can tell King of Hell, who is the one who killed you, so you cannot become a restless ghost!” Although he is one armed, Han felt that this Old Wu is truly great. “Let this former Bing Province Heavy Cavalry kill you first!”
“I got no time to play with you! I should kill you now!” the black-uniformed man is feeling Old Wu's momentum. He did not know why this Old man made him tremble with fear. This is a shame for an elite of the Zhou clan, unexpectedly this old and disabled person made him feel fear. Because of his anger out of shame, suddenly the black-uniformed man became strong again.
