Three Kingdoms: Start by buying a governor.

In the distance, the Wuhuan cavalry were dumbfounded.

They watched the negotiations in the pavilion from afar. They were quite relaxed at first, with the adults chatting and laughing, and it seemed like the talks were going well.

Suddenly, Liu Ce stood up, and with a few flashes of light, the three adults fell to the ground?

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and their personal guards attacked, and all their own generals were cut down.

"The master is dead!!!"

Someone shouted first.

"grown ups!"

"They killed the adults!"

Then, the entire Wuhuan army was thrown into chaos.

"Avenge the master!!!"

"Kill all Han Chinese!!!"

The Wuhuan cavalry, their eyes bloodshot, roared and spurred their horses forward like a tidal wave towards the pavilion.

The charge of over ten thousand cavalrymen was so powerful it shook the earth.

Liu Ce mounted his horse, drew his sword, and pointed it at the surging tide of cavalry.

"Brothers..." he shouted, "Kill!!!"

Huang Zhong's elite archer battalion was already prepared.

Seeing the Wuhuan cavalry charge, Huang Zhong calmly ordered: "First squad, tilt your guns upwards, launch—fire!"

"Whoosh whoosh-"

A thousand arrows soared into the air, tracing graceful arcs, and fell into the ranks of the Wuhuan cavalry.

The composite bow had a range of over 300 paces, and the Wuhuan cavalry were met with the first volley of arrows as soon as they charged into range.

"Second team, fire!"

Another thousand arrows.

"Third team, fire!"

...

Arrows flew like locusts, endlessly.

As the Wuhuan cavalry charged, men were constantly struck by arrows and fell from their horses, their warhorses neighed, and their formation began to fall into disarray.

But blinded by hatred, they still charged forward recklessly.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong led three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, who had already formed their battle formation.

Seeing the Wuhuan cavalry charge within a hundred paces, Qin Qiong raised his double maces high: "Black Armored Iron Cavalry—Charge!"

"boom--"

The three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry began to accelerate.

The bright armor reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, and the long spear was held horizontally, like a steel jungle.

On a plain, heavy cavalry against light cavalry is an absolute crushing defeat.

The two torrents collided violently.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of clashing metal, neighing warhorses, and screams filled the air.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry sliced ​​through butter like a hot knife through butter, directly piercing through the vanguard of the Wuhuan cavalry.

Wherever they went, men and horses fell over.

The Wuhuan cavalry's scimitars, when striking the Mingguang armor, could only produce a series of sparks, causing no real damage. In contrast, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry's long spears would pierce through the armor with a single thrust, leaving a bloody hole.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu also led eight hundred Dragon Cavalrymen to charge forward.

This ace unit of Liu Ce's is even more terrifying in terms of fighting power.

The soldiers of the Longxiang Camp were all capable of taking on ten men each. They coordinated perfectly, maintained a tight formation, and charged back and forth among the Wuhuan cavalry like a sophisticated killing machine.

...

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Xu Da, who were lying in ambush on the right flank, and Lü Bu and Xue Rengui, who were lying in ambush on the left flank, saw the pavilion make a move, silently counted, and then attacked at the same time.

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here!!!"

Zhao Yun charged ahead, wielding a silver spear and wearing a white robe, like a bolt of lightning plunging into the enemy ranks.

Xu Da followed closely behind, directing his cavalry to flank the enemy from the side.

On the left wing, Lü Bu was even more imposing.

"Lu Bu from Jiuyuan has arrived!!!"

He rode a fiery red horse, wielding a halberd, charging through the enemy ranks. Each swing of the halberd felled a swathe of enemies.

Xue Rengui then demonstrated his marksmanship.

He rode on horseback, his bow drawn taut, his arrows flying like shooting stars. One arrow at a time, he targeted the minor leaders of the Wuhuan cavalry, his shots never missing their mark.

...

Cheng Yaojin's Mo Dao (陌刀) battalion also pressed forward.

Seeing the Wuhuan cavalry being routed by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, Cheng Yaojin roared, "Mo Dao Battalion—form ranks!"

"ha!"

Three thousand Mo Dao (陌刀) warriors stood in three rows, their Mo Dao swords like a forest, gleaming coldly.

The routed Wuhuan cavalry charged forward, only to be met with sharp long-handled swords.

"Snap! Snap!"

The horse's leg was cut off, the cavalryman fell to the ground, and was then finished off by the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled swordsman) behind him.

The Mo Dao (陌刀) is a natural counter to cavalry.

...

The battle is one-sided.

The Wuhuan cavalry, leaderless and fighting independently, were quickly divided and surrounded.

The number of Wuhuan cavalry is decreasing rapidly.

Finally, some of the Wuhuan cavalry realized something was wrong and tried to escape from the rear.

They turned their horses around and charged backwards.

Liu Ce sneered when he saw this.

He silently chanted in his mind, "System, retrieve three thousand Ironclad Pagodas!"

The next second, a heavily armored cavalry unit appeared out of thin air behind the Wuhuan cavalry!

This cavalry force, both men and horses, were clad in heavy armor, with only their eyes exposed. Even the warhorses had armor around their eyes, truly achieving the level of an "Iron Pagoda" (a formidable defensive formation).

These are the three thousand Ironclad Pagodas that the system rewarded!

As soon as the Ironclad Cavalry appeared, they launched an attack.

They weren't fast, but their momentum was unstoppable.

Like a moving steel wall, it crashed down on the fleeing Wuhuan cavalry.

The fleeing Wuhuan cavalrymen panicked even more when they saw thousands of iron cavalry suddenly appear behind them and their retreat was cut off.

Pursuers were in front, and iron cavalry were behind.

They were utterly desperate.

"It's over..." a Wuhuan cavalryman murmured in despair.

Enemies were everywhere, in front, behind, left, and right; there was no way to go up to heaven or down to earth.

The battle lasted from morning until noon.

The sun was high in the sky when the last Wuhuan cavalryman was felled.

On the Lulong Pass plain, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

More than 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry were annihilated.

No one escaped.

...

Liu Ce rode his horse and inspected the battlefield.

Dian Wei ran over carrying a severed head, grinning, "My lord, Qiu Liju's head! And Su Puyan's and Wu Yan's heads too, cut them all off!"

Xu Chu also nodded twice: "These are their trusted generals."

Liu Ce was overjoyed.

"Alright! Clean up the battlefield and collect the remains of our brothers. As for the Wuhuan people... dig a big pit and bury them."

He looked north: "Next, it's time to take over the territory of the Wuhuan."

Jia Xu rode over on horseback, laughing, and said, "My lord, your 'lightning-fast slaughter' was brilliant! Three strikes to take down three leaders, and you annihilated over ten thousand cavalrymen with minimal effort. If this news spreads, the whole world will fear you."

Liu Ce laughed and said, "That's how you deal with these greedy and overconfident guys! Reasoning with them is useless; it's easiest to just take them out with a single blow."

At this moment, Qin Qiong, Zhao Yun, and others also gathered around.

Looking at the three thousand heavy cavalrymen behind him, Qin Qiong asked curiously, "My lord, where did these heavy cavalrymen come from? I've never seen them before."

Liu Ce had already prepared his explanation: "Oh, those are the iron cavalry I secretly trained before, which have been hidden near Lulong Pass. I specially transferred them here this time to cut off the Wuhuan people's retreat."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"I see!" Yuchi Gong slapped his thigh. "Our lord is truly farsighted!"

"No wonder our lord said they couldn't escape," Cheng Yaojin laughed, "So they had already laid an ambush!"

As the sun set, Liu Ce's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield on the Lulong Pass plain.

Everyone wore a victorious smile.

As they worked, they excitedly discussed the day's battle.

"Hey, did you see those three strikes from our lord? They were so fast! I didn't even see them clearly, and the three Wuhuan chieftains were already down!"

"I saw it! I saw it! Like lightning!"

"And that heavy cavalry, my god, they're like iron towers! The Wuhuan people can't even scratch them!"

"Our lord is truly amazing! This battle was so exhilarating!"

Liu Ce listened to the soldiers' discussion and smiled slightly.
