The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Cao Meng and Gao Chong led 6,000 cavalry to the northern edge of the battlefield, waiting for the command to attack. Cao Meng, an experienced 20-year-old, received orders to launch an assault upon seeing three fire arrows. Meanwhile, the Jiangnan army, equipped with elite units and led by General Xiang Fa, faced the Jingzhao army's 10,000 elite troops. As the battle escalated, the Jiangnan crossbowmen prepared to retaliate against the Jingzhao infantry, who charged bravely despite their inferior equipment. The fierce combat resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, with the Jiangnan army initially holding a numerical advantage. However, the Jingzhao troops began to gain momentum, aided by their reinforcements. Suddenly, three fire arrows signaled Cao Meng's cavalry to charge into battle, creating panic among the Jiangnan forces. Xiang Fa commanded his 1,000 heavy cavalry, led by the formidable Xiang Yong, to confront the incoming threat. The two cavalry forces clashed violently, resulting in chaos and bloodshed. Xiang Yong showcased his strength, but as he engaged with Cao Meng, his warhorse was poisoned and collapsed. Just as Xiang Yong prepared to strike, a wolf-tooth arrow was shot at him, targeting his throat.
