"Howl …"

That unpleasant sound of the Bullhorn started to spread throughout the desolate lands of Jizhou again. Everyone's heart couldn't help but to feel waves of chill. Whether it was the imperial government's soldiers or the xanthopanax's soldiers, all of them tightened their grip on their swords and spears at the same time.

It didn't matter if you were a general or a soldier, you were only an ordinary soldier facing the voice of the Bullhorn. In such a cruel battle, their lives would also be ended, and under the dense barrage of swords, spears, and halberds, their lives were as fragile as an egg under a huge rock. The Bullhorn continued to blow and everyone realized that they had to fight to the death! Otherwise, everyone would face annihilation.

"Drum, attack!"

The longsword in Huangfu Song's hand pointed forward, and the government drummers started to beat the drum, smashing the drum again and again, and also ruthlessly hitting everyone's heart. The ground shook again, and the soldiers followed suit.

"Kill …"

Yuan Shao waved his longsword and commanded the soldiers to rush forward. He himself would not rush up to the battlefield, that was something only the warriors could do. It was already difficult for a young master of a distinguished family like him to fight in the battlefield, who would expect him to charge into the fray?

The densely packed imperial troops formed their own formations, the soldiers shouted and rushed out of official army formation. In order to maintain their attack formation, their advancing speed was not fast. The dense mass of heads was like a giant black cloud, covering the ground in front of the two armies. It was also like a flood that had just broken through a dam, pressing down towards xanthopanax's group. Their footsteps were not very orderly, but the heavy footsteps still made many of the xanthopanax soldiers sweat.

The sound of battle once again shook the skies before the battle between the two armies. However, this time, the target had changed, and the attacking side had turned into an official army of the imperial government. They walked with determined steps, lined up into a huge arrow, like a group of geese flying towards the south, quickly rushing towards the great array of xanthopanax. For the warm home in their hearts, they rushed forward without a care for their own safety.

"archer, prepare to shoot!"

Zhang Bao ordered loudly, the herald behind him immediately ran towards the four sides, and in that moment, everyone was shouting for them to prepare for battle. The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves was excited, all of them pulled on their bowstrings, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.

Under the brilliant autumn sun, tens of thousands of xanthopanax s looked up into the sky. Arrows nocked their bowstrings, drew their bows, and like a crescent moon, the ice-cold Arrows pointed straight into the sky. Tens of thousands of Arrows reflected the sunlight, forming a strange wall of light.

"Release the arrows!"

Following Zhang Liang's command, the xanthopanax released his bowstring and tens of thousands of Arrows soared into the sky, cutting through the ice-cold sky and forming an arrow screen in the air. They flew in a beautiful arc and shot towards the charging formation of the imperial government.

Because the Arrows that was shot out was extremely fast, the sound of it cutting through the air was extremely ear-piercing, like bursts of short thunder. In the middle, there seemed to be the sound of lightning exploding, as if a storm would come at any time, absolutely shocking.

Today was a sunny day, and the sky was very blue. The sun was warm, and if it wasn't for the fight to the death, sunbathing in such weather would have been a most wonderful thing. Unfortunately, at this time, no one had the mood to look at the sun.

"Ah …"

"Aooo …"

The soldiers who were hit by the arrows rolled on the ground and howled, blood spurting out from their bodies. Even though they were well-equipped, even though they were well-trained, there were indeed too many archer s in the xanthopanax, and there were even more than the total number of government officials in the imperial government. The endless amount of Arrows covered the sky and the earth, making it impossible for the imperial government to defend against them.

"Kill …"

The trained imperial army was not scared by the Arrows s of the xanthopanax. Instead, they increased their pace, their speed became faster and faster, and they were no longer maintaining a neat and orderly formation. Instead, they tried to shorten the distance between the open fields as much as possible. Under the threat of the crossbow bolts, the soldiers still moved forward quickly.

The sunny sky suddenly darkened, and everyone felt like they were suddenly surrounded by darkness. The scenery in front of them suddenly disappeared, and it turned out to be densely packed Arrows s, blocking out the sun's rays. The dense group of Arrows were like the howling of death gods as they flew viciously towards the imperial government's army.

"Shoot!"

The densely packed Arrows flew through the air twice and headed towards the imperial government's army. The light of the sun was once again obscured, and the world became dark. Everyone felt as if everything in front of them had turned black, as if the scenery in front of them was enveloped in boundless darkness.

The imperial officers and soldiers who was at the front subconsciously raised his shield. They were completely relying on the shield to protect them, their armor could only protect their vital parts, but most of their bodies relied on the shield to avoid the Arrows. As long as they could use it well, it would be very effective in protecting their bow and arrows.

"Kill …"

However, the huge arrows of the imperial government did not charge towards the large formation of the Youzhou. Instead, it suddenly changed its direction and rushed towards Qian Lin's position. Maybe the officer leading the charge of the officers and soldiers had already realized that Qian Lin's soldiers were afraid. They were specially looking for weak points to break through.

"F * ck, you specifically came to bully laozi." Release Arrows... "Release the arrows …"

Seeing the xanthopanax rushing towards his position, Qian Lin was immediately enraged. He shouted hysterically and ordered the soldiers to shoot quickly. Those xanthopanax soldiers, under Qian Lin's lead, unceasingly and crazily pulled on their bowstrings, shooting arrows after arrows at the army officers.

"Kill …"

The officials of the imperial court finally pounced on him, and the face-to-face battle of the white blades began. In this type of battle, one person's martial arts could no longer be used. All that was left was to desperately slash and kill. One could only hear the sounds of blades colliding and the constant screams of misery.

The imperial army was indeed very brave and well-trained. Even though people continued to fall, and layers upon layers of corpses blocked the path forward, and there was not even a place to land where the fierce battle would take place, they still fearlessly surged upwards, wave after wave, like the tides of the ocean; there was simply no end to it.

From a distance, Zhang Bao could see that Qian Lin had personally charged in front and killed six or seven people. He had also been cut twice by his opponent, and fresh blood flowed all over his body.

Zhang Bao stood on his horse and quietly watched the imperial court officers and soldiers's charge. Due to Qian Lin's bravery, his defense was still considered stable, but the attacks were too concentrated, causing Qian Lin's soldiers to suffer too many casualties.

"Second brother, I'm afraid Qian Lin can't hold on."

Zhang Liang whispered into Zhang Bao's ear. Even before the formation was set up, Zhang Liang was still worried about Qian Lin. Qian Lin had the least number of subordinates under Zhang Jiao, so he was suspicious of their fighting strength, so he made them defend in a small area with a lot of troops. He thought that since this Qian Lin was also a great general, he wouldn't collapse no matter what.

"Retreat, slash!"

Qian Lin howled as he slashed a retreating soldier. However, no matter how Qian Lin shouted, he was unable to stop the soldiers under him from retreating, soldiers who had lost their courage would not be able to recover just by relying on killing two people. As the saying goes, a soldier losing is like a mountain falling, once a soldier is defeated, even deities would rarely be able to control themselves.

Zhang Bao who had been observing everything from the start had a bad look on his face. The array of hundreds of thousands of people was more than five kilometers wide, and it was not something that could be moved easily. Once the array was moved, it would cause chaos and allow the imperial army to grab the opportunity.

"Order them to immediately send reinforcements to Qian Lin."

Zhang Bao ordered expressionlessly. As the xanthopanax had set up an offensive formation, they left Lu Tong and the other offensive generals to be placed at the back of the formation. They would not use them unless it was an all-out attack, but now that Qian Lin's position was broken, they had no choice but to send them out.

"Yuan Shu, attack now!"

Seeing that he had already opened the gap in the Imperial army, Huangfu Song immediately saw that it was an opportunity. At the same time, he also realised that the positions on both sides of the gap were weak, and ordered the second team to rush towards the gap, in an attempt to defeat the xanthopanax in one fell swoop.

"All soldiers, prepare to attack!" Order the cavalry of Youzhou to prepare to attack. "

Huangfu Song was a little excited, he issued a series of orders, as if victory was already beckoning to him. They had already ordered Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and the rest to lead the third group to prepare themselves. Once the first two teams succeeded, they would start from here and completely annihilate the xanthopanax team.

"Kill …"

Jiang Zhen, who was beside Qian Lin, was also under attack. The number of soldiers under his command was obviously more than Qian Lin's soldiers. He roared and led the soldiers into a fight. Although the soldiers of the xanthopanax lacked training, they still had the courage to fight to the death when the time came.

Soon enough, Jiang Zhen felt the pressure. Under the attacks of the xanthopanax, the soldiers under him started to slowly retreat, but luckily they had more people on their side, making them stronger than Qian Lin in defense. In that moment, even the imperial army would have a hard time breaking through.

Just as they were desperately holding on, the reinforcements they had led arrived. The attacks of the troops were much stronger and they numbered more than the others. They shouted and rushed up to the incoming army, and in that moment, both sides were in a deadlock at Qian Lin's position.

Imperial army who was currently attacking xanthopanax, when he met any xanthopanax who could charge and kill him, immediately split up and deal with them. However, the number of troops was simply too many. No matter how the imperial government attacked, the troops were still very stable. Even if there were one or two casualties, they would not disperse.

"Kill …"

Just at this moment, Yuan Shu's team also came up, the surging army of the imperial government quickly rushed towards the attack team of the xanthopanax like a flood, wherever the flood rushed, the formation of the xanthopanax was torn apart, the soldiers of the xanthopanax being split apart one by one, they were once again surrounded, then annihilated on the spot, and rushed forward again, leaving behind only a bunch of corpses.

The imperial army brandished their swords and spears as they rampaged through the soldiers of xanthopanax, as if they were no one else. They chased after the soldiers of xanthopanax like tigers and wolves, and there was not a single xanthopanax soldier who could survive a single round.
