Chapter 7: Assault at Nan Xiang Plains
Qiu Huan parried the blow and pushes back his opponent. Blood can be seen running down his cheek from the forehead. The two officers had been fighting ever since Zhang He's units were able to make Zhang Fei's units in a full retreat to the enemy camp, thanks to the help of Xiahou Yuan's troops.
The Shu officer stared at Qiu Huan while holding his spear in a fighting stance. He could feel the warm blood flowing from his chest and shoulders. Qiu Huan's body parts were also covered with bloody cuts but in a minor condition.
"I must say, Shu generals are a lot stronger and better than those useless dogs back in Guandu" Qiu Huan said.
"Shu will always be strong and willing to stop the tyranny acts of Wei!" the Shu officer known as Liao Hua exclaimed.
"Tyranny acts? This is a battle for honor, not with the likes of Liu Bei who wishes to restore the Han and corrupt Wei. I won't let that happen!"
"You dare to revolt against my lord! I will be more than willing to give my life to Shu in order to achieve a greater good and justice for China! I will stop you Wei tyrants if you get into our way!" Liao Hua remarked, holding his spear tightly preparing for an attack.
"Excellent! Spoken like a warrior! I'm proud to have fought you today. Now let's finish this duel"
Liao Hua shouted as he charge towards Qiu Huan. Qiu Huan blocked that strike just in time to prevent a pierce through the chest. He praised Liao Hua's speed and agility. Liao Hua staggered as he moves back to a defensive position. He looked back at the Wei foe, but he's nowhere to be seen. The position where Qiu Huan is standing remains empty.
When Liao Hua sense that there's a swift movement behind him, he quickly turned to block the incoming attack, but he was too late. Qiu Huan slash his opponent's throat in a smooth motion and watches Liao Hua fall and landed on the grassy plains. Qiu Huan looked at the fallen officer one last time before he climbed on his horse and galloped away.
"An officer has been removed from the enemy"
As Qiu Huan rides to the Shu encampment, he came across a group of Wei soldiers standing guard a few li away from the enemy base in case Shu advances. Qiu Huan then ask them about the battle situation so far.
"Yes my lord. Lord Zhang Liao's army has made Guan Yu's troops retreat back to enemy camp. Only Zhao Yun is left guarding the front rear"
Qiu Huan noticed that Zhao Yun's name sounded familiar and then rode off to Liu Bei's camp, hoping to confront Zhao Yun along the way.
***
"My lord, scouts reported a strange activity at the eastern enemy camp" a Shu major informed Liu Bei.
"An activity being taken place? What activity?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.
"It is unknown my lord. It is seems that Zhang He is keeping the area well secure and the scouts were having difficulties accessing through" came the reply.
"Send Zhao Yun to intercept the area. I'll guard the camp along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in case Cao Cao plans a straight forward attack upon us"
"Yes my lord!"
A look of anxiety appeared on Liu Bei's face when the soldier exited the tent.
Qiu Huan continues riding towards the Shu camp wondering whether the surprise attack on the enemy's camp has occurred or not. A sweat dropped from his chin thinking has the enemy found out the plan.
As he was about to reach Liu Bei's camp, a horseman stopped him. Qiu Huan came to a halt and looked at the horseman. His vision saw a white steed mounted by a rather young good-looking man with long hair wearing a bandana and blue greenish armor. A cloth is wrapped diagonally around the body armor bearing fine dragon designs on it. He wore white pants and green boots with green bangles. The man points his spear towards Qiu Huan.
"Identify yourself soldier" he said.
"Qiu Huan, a Wei officer under Xiahou Dun. Who might you be?" Qiu Huan asked the man.
"Then you are our foes. Retreat from this area now or face Zhao Zilong!" the man reckoned.
"Hah! You must be the famous Zhao Yun so I've heard"
"When it comes to spears, I'm unbeatable. Enough talk. Shall we begin?" Zhao Yun replied while spinning his spear from one hand to another. "Feel the wrath of the Little Dragon!"
"Remember that my name is Qiu Huan! Do not forget!" Qiu Huan exclaimed as he swung the Serpent Fang in a fighting position.
The two horses charged against one another. Sounds of sword clashing with the blade of the spear could be heard. After the steeds intercept one another, they step back and charged again at each other. It lasted around 10 bouts when Zhao Yun backed away from Qiu Huan.
After a few seconds, they charged again. This time, Qiu Huan waited for Zhao Yun's steed to come nearer and hit the edge of the spear's blade away from Zhao Yun and grabbed his shoulder. The next moment, Qiu Huan pulled Zhao Yun off from the white steed to the ground.
Qiu Huan turned his horse around and charges the horseless Shu general hoping to kill him in one swipe. But Qiu Huan had misjudged him. Zhao Yun waited for Qiu Huan's steed and when it is within range, Zhao Yun pushes the blade of his spear into the earth and jumped up just when the opponent's horse is a few inches away from him. Zhao Yun kicked Qiu Huan off his steed and landed on the terrain.
"Now we are even" Zhao Yun chuckled.
Qiu Huan feeling dissatisfied performed a charge attack onto Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun easily blocked the attack and continued by an aerial strike from above. The attack manages to cut Qiu Huan on his right shoulder. Of all the enemy generals Qiu Huan had faced, this would be the most challenging duel he ever encountered. Zhao Yun then continued pummeling Qiu Huan with his spear while Qiu Huan blocks every single attack. When given the opportunity, Qiu Huan shows off his skills and slashes his foe. Unfortunately, none laid and single hit on Zhao Yun.
Qiu Huan jumps back to catch his breathe. He's a lot stronger than I thought, Qiu Huan whispered to himself. He caught a glimpse of Zhao Yun who is in a defensive position.
"Fierce Dragon must be giving you a hard time. So let's end this." Zhao Yun said.
Qiu Huan positioned himself ready. He could see that his enemy's spear is actually glowing. Taking no chances, Zhao Yun rushes upon him and shouted.
"Attack!"
Zhao Yun swings his spear at Qiu Huan to the left vertical in a circular order a few times. Qiu Huan was quick and blocked the attack. He then staggered back.
"That's a musou art" Qiu Huan said.
"Indeed. But no musou is perfect at killing. Some uses musou attacks just to survive in a war and some uses musou to protect the weak"
"Then what do you use it for? To restore the Han?"
"Quite correct. I use it to serve Shu and protects it from enemies and that includes you!" Zhao Yun shouted and charge towards Qiu Huan.
But something stopped Zhao Yun from charging. Qiu Huan could feel that his luck was about to turned out. Zhao Yun turned behind and saw black smoke arises into the sky. The sight of horror appeared on his face.
"Lord Liu!" Zhao Yun shouted and rushes to climb on his steed. Before he departs from the duel area, he took one last look at Qiu Huan and said,
"I shall retreat for now. We will meet again someday and finish the score"
Qiu Huan looked as Zhao Yun galloped away to the burning area. A smile appears on his face. Cao Cao, I told you my plan would bring victory, Qiu Huan thought as he too climb on his steed and gallops to the eastern Wei encampment.
