Chapter 90: Iron Cavalry Charge!

  "Traitor Dong! You're acting against the tide, arbitrarily abandoning your compatriots who fought bloody battles for you. You deserve to die!"

  Damn it! The two words seemed to jump out from between the teeth and resounded in everyone's ears.

  "Ah! Ah! You two rebels, how dare you curse me?! I will behead you today!" Dong Zhuo heard the words of Qiu Shui and furiously drew out his precious sword from his waist, shouting and scolding.

  "Kill! Kill for me!"

  Although the Western Liang army was terrified of Dong Zhuo, they still prepared to engage in battle against the approaching enemy under his orders.

  "You are still shedding hot blood for this treacherous thief?! Have you forgotten your fellow countrymen in the valley just now?! Forgotten that Dong Zhuo abandoned us at Tiger Trap Pass?! Ah~ have you all forgotten?!" Hua Xiong let out a resentful roar, his eyes bulging with anger as he saw Dong Zhuo.

  Hua Xiong thought to himself that he had been loyal to Dong Zhuo, fighting bravely and risking his life many times to save him from danger. But how did Dong Zhuo repay him? For the sake of his own safety, for the wealth of Luoyang, and for the power in his hands, he actually abandoned Hua Xiong and Xu Rong at Tiger Trap Pass to die!

  Ah~

  Hua Xiong let out a mighty roar towards the sky, venting his discontent.

  At this time, the Western Liang army heard Hua Xiong's angry roar, and many soldiers began to hesitate, their hands slowly lowering their blades, and the entire army formation began to become chaotic.

  "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who do not wish to serve Dong Zhuo, throw down your arms and retreat to one side. If there is any resistance, kill without pardon!"

  Whoa! As soon as Autumn Water's words fell, some of the soldiers who were originally hesitant began to look around restlessly, wanting to see what others would do.

  When the first person started to put down his weapon and retreat to the other side, it was as if a chain reaction had occurred, with one piece after another putting down their weapons and surrendering.

  "Despicable! You dare to betray me, you should be killed!" Dong Zhuo shouted in anger, then rode his horse to the front of a soldier who had put down his weapon.

  Whoosh! As Dong Zhuo swung his treasured sword, a fine human head fell from the sky.

  "Hahaha! This is the outcome of betraying me, who else dares to betray me? Haha!" Dong Zhuo roared like a madman at this time.

  "Come with me, today we will let the world see the fate of those who betray our family! Kill!" Dong Zhuo waved his treasured sword, and the iron cavalry behind him galloped forward on their warhorses.

  To know that the iron cavalry behind Dong Zhuo were all brought out by Dong Zhuo himself, especially the Fei Xiong army was Dong Zhuo's loyal followers, how could they betray Dong Zhuo.

  "Whoever dares to surrender will be killed without pardon! Those who do not charge forward are all deserters, kill them!"

  At Dong Zhuo's command, the iron cavalry on the war horses began to lower their long guns and slaughter those who stood still in front of them.

  Rumble! Countless iron hooves trampled on the ground, making a deafening sound.

  Originally, Qiu Shui set fire to force the eighteen vassals to fight against Dong Zhuo. Before that, Qiu Shui secretly released the corpse insects to scout out the surroundings. When the big fire broke out, it was discovered that Dong Zhuo's army behind the valley was a decoy army. However, in order to prevent the eighteen vassals from making a final counterattack, Dong Zhuo had to deploy the decoy army to the front line. Nevertheless, Dong Zhuo also ordered his troops to move stealthily at night without making any noise.

  If it weren't for Qiu Shui's cleverness in gathering information, they might have fallen into Dong Zhuo's trap. Although the rear entrance of the valley was blocked by huge boulders, Qiu Shui ordered his troops to move them after the enemy withdrew. Once the entrance was cleared, he ordered the army to rest and eat for a while before leading a counterattack against Dong Zhuo's forces!

  At this time, Dong Zhuo's side had 50,000 Western Liang iron cavalry and more than 50,000 infantrymen. Although these 50,000 infantrymen were still hesitant, they should not be underestimated as a force that could change the direction of the battlefield situation.

  Another iron cavalry led by Fang Qiushui had only more than 30,000 iron cavalry left after several consecutive big battles with the eighteen vassals, which can be said to be a heavy loss!

  "He who kills Lü Bu will be enfeoffed as a marquis of ten thousand households!"

  "The rest of the rebels will be rewarded according to their military merits!"

  At this time, Li Ru's face sank as he saw the 50,000 infantrymen in front of him hesitate, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong. If these 50,000 infantrymen were to betray them, then the outcome of this battle would be clear, and their side would surely lose!

  As the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru can be said to have been thoroughly branded with the seal of Dong Zhuo's faction. Anyone could surrender, but only Li Ru was not allowed to surrender. In a moment of desperation, Li Ru shouted twice in front of the army, promising rewards.

  What! At this time, what are these soldiers fighting for? Isn't it just to be full, and under the premise of being full, isn't everyone pursuing power?!

  The power moved the hearts of men, and after Li Ru's words spread throughout the entire army, the massive army instantly calmed down. At this moment, the 50,000 infantrymen in front saw a fierce heat bursting out from the eyes of Lü Bu and Diaochan as they charged forward.

  "Haha! Give me a ruthless kill! Kill all these rebellious traitors, and I'll heavily reward you!" Dong Zhuo's face turned ferocious as he roared with madness in his eyes, gazing forward with an intense killing intent.

  No good! The wise men of these three countries are indeed not to be underestimated! A few words turned the unfavorable conditions for Dong Zhuo into favorable ones. How detestable!

  "Men! Dong Ze is bloodthirsty and brutal, will he spare us? Let's kill him! After this battle, all the spoils of war will be yours!" Autumn Water also roared angrily.

  Kill! At this time, the iron cavalry behind Qiu Shui was like a chicken blood, yelling and shouting, with a fierce face looking forward, without any fear of the enemy several times in front.

  Kill! With a loud shout, Autumn Water and Lü Bu led the charge, rushing to the front and sending the oncoming soldiers flying in all directions!

  The two of them were like a pair of crimson war gods, wherever they charged, a bloody mist would rise, and behind them, a trail of corpses would be left.

  Although Dong Zhuo had Li Ru's assistance to temporarily calm the military, he also lost the initiative. The iron cavalry led by Qiu Shui and others took advantage of the momentum, which can be said to have brought out the power of the cavalry to the extreme. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's side lost the greatest advantage of the cavalry due to the hesitation of the infantry in front.

  When Dong Zhuo's army began to attack, Qiu Shui and others had already charged forward to the opposing camp, while the iron cavalry behind Dong Zhuo was unable to exert its greatest power without a running start. At this time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's ten-layered might could only be exerted to five or six tenths of its capacity, whereas the enemy was able to bring out their utmost strength.

  Especially since Dong Zhuo's army had not eaten for a whole night, they were already extremely hungry and their physical strength was not at its peak. Although they had many men, their morale was weakened by more than one degree.

  Especially when the other side is under the leadership of Autumn Water and Lü Bu, two great killing gods, it can be said that people are killed by people, and gods are blocked by gods. In the midst of a million troops, there was not even one enemy who could match them, and the army was torn open in an instant by the two of them. The black iron flow behind followed closely.
