Unable to endure Zhang Fei's coaxing, Xun Yu and Xun You finally agreed to let Zhang Fei lead the third wave of Han troops to rob the West Gorge River. Calculating with his fingers, Zhao Yun and Cang Ba should have passed through the West Gorge River. In order to not let the Gaoguellian go and rescue them, An Ling Du had to attack forcefully.

Although the Gaoguellian's cavalry had left, there were still a large number of foot soldiers by the shore. Furthermore, the Gaoguellian knew that this was a feint, so they became more relaxed, and completely treated this battle as a drill. Unknowingly, over a million Arrows s had shot into the river. The Han army did not shoot much down, but the fish in the river suffered a great calamity, and a layer of fish with arrows floated on the surface of the river.

"Brothers, we're almost at the heart of the river. Let's paddle with all our might and rush over in one go." Following Zhang Fei's shout, the third batch of wooden rafts quickly passed the center of the river. They did not float downstream like the first two batches, but instead pounced towards the river bank.

"Shoot!" "We must not let the Han army get ashore." With a wave of the Fifth Prince's large blade, over thirty thousand foot soldiers rushed towards the shore where Zhang Fei and the others were. It was only now that Gaoguellian realised that this was not a game, nor a feint. Those murderous Han soldiers were not fun at all.

What was even more frightening was that those Han Chinese were not afraid of Gaoguellian's Arrows at all. Their shields and armor shone brightly in the sunlight and hurt Gaoguellian's eyes. Especially the Chinese Arrows, they were even more powerful. Along with the whistling sound of the Arrows, rows and rows of unarmored Gaoguellian were nailed to the ground.

"Kill …"

Five thousand Korean Army Soldiers s jumped onto the river bank from the wooden raft while roaring. Since the Gaoguellian's cavalry had left, the Chinese army's resistance against horses was useless. With blades in one hand and shields in the other, the Korean Army Soldiers followed closely behind Zhang Fei and pounced towards the Gaoguellian who was on the riverbank.

"Kill ah …" I want you to drive the Chinese army into the river. "

Seeing that the Han army was forcefully landing, Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy couldn't help but become anxious. He suddenly shouted loudly, urging all the soldiers under his command to rush forward. Those Gaogueli's apoplexy s were valiant, holding their hunting knife high, they rushed towards the Han army while shouting.

"Die!"

Zhang Fei roared out in rage, the long knife in his hand swept across, a dozen or so human heads floated in the air, and dozens of blood column shot up into the sky. Under the bright sunlight, it was as if a blood coloured waterfall fell from the sky, reflecting the red West Gorge River's water. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be blood-red.

The soldiers of both sides collided with each other, and a chaotic battle broke out along the riverbank. Everyone roared out with their mouths wide open, their hands desperately waving their weapons. Under the blade light, fresh blood continuously dripped into the water, and streams of blood flowed into the West Gorge River water, causing the entire river surface to be covered in red light.

One of the Korean Army Soldiers roared, the blade in his hand slashed out, causing the Gauzeli soldier that was within reach to immediately disappear, as his headless body spurted blood and fell into the dirty river. However, before the Korean Army Soldiers could celebrate his victory, another Gauzeli soldier appeared behind him. With a sinister look on his face, the hunting knife in his hand pierced into the Korean Army Soldiers's back fiercely, causing the Korean Army Soldiers to scream in pain. The Korean Army Soldiers turned around, and used his last bit of strength to flip the Gauzeli soldier over.

"Tiger Leaping Gorge emergency report... Tiger Leaping Gorge emergency report … " Just as Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy was commanding the ferries to fight, a few cavalrymen suddenly rushed over. A herald rolled down from his horse, rolling and crawling until he kneeled in front of Fifth Prince, gasping for breath as he said, "Prince … Your Highness, His Royal Highness, Tiger Leaping Gorge has been lost … The Han army has passed through the West Gorge River! "

"Ah …" Fifth Prince felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. He grabbed the horse's mane and steadied himself. He looked up, his eyes filled with the figures of the Chinese army. He had no choice but to close his eyes tightly and ask angrily, "How many people in the Han Army have passed through the Tiger Leaping Gorge? Where is Li Yi now? "

"Reporting to the His Royal Highness, the Han army that crossed over the Tiger Leaping Gorge is about fifteen thousand people, and they are all cavalry. When we left, Commander Li Yi was in the middle of a huge battle with the Han army crossing the river. The herald looked at Fifth Prince and said carefully.

"Damn it!" Where did all these cavalry come from? " Fifth Prince opened his eyes and watched the intense battle on the riverbank. Although the Gauzeli soldier had the advantage in numbers, the Han Chinese army was abnormally strong. He turned around and glanced at his Military Advisor Li Liang, his eyes filled with doubt.

"This …" Military Advisor Li Liang was also confused. He had always been following Fifth Prince in his wars, fighting with the Han Chinese army multiple times, retreating from the border to the West Gorge River. They were originally clear about the Han Chinese army's strength, but in just a few short days, how did they suddenly increase by so much?

"Reporting..." His Royal Highness, the first and second wave of Han troops have already climbed onto the riverbank. " A herald ran over from afar and shouted loudly.

When Fifth Prince turned around, he saw that not far from the river, the first two waves of Han troops had already landed on the riverbank from two different places, and were currently fighting a great battle with the Gaoguellian who was chasing after them. Contrary to their previous caution, the Chinese Army fiercely fought with the Gauzeli soldier s.

"We've been tricked!"

Only now did Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy realize that he had fallen into a Chinese conspiracy. The An Ling Du was just a feint, while the Tiger Leaping Gorge was the main attacker. He had coincidentally sent over ten thousand of his most capable Gauguin cavalry to reinforce the South Field Ferry, and now, he couldn't even catch up with them if he wanted to.

"These Chinese are really cunning!"

Fifth Prince shook his head and muttered. Even as the Anling Ferry who faked an attack, the Han Chinese were cunning. The first and second groups of Han troops seemed to attack forcefully, but in reality, they were waiting for the right moment in the river. After the Gaoguellian's cavalry left, they joined the third wave of Han troops to attack the river bank.

"Advisor, what should we do now?" Fifth Prince turned his head and asked helplessly.

"The His Royal Highness is in a hurry, immediately divide the troops into three groups and block the Han army separately. We absolutely cannot let them get onto the shore. Retreat and kill them all!" Military Advisor Li Liang did not panic at all. He said to Fifth Prince, "Send people to chase after our cavalry immediately, get them to return quickly and rescue Anling Ferry."

"But, what about the Chinese cavalry that have already passed through the Tiger Leaping Gorge?" Fifth Prince immediately reminded Li Liang, this place was only a few hundred li away from Imperial City. If the Han army were to attack Imperial City, his Father would definitely not let him off scot-free!

"Imperial City is strong, the ten thousand cavalry soldiers are helpless." Li Liang shook his head and said affirmatively: "I am sure that the Tiger Leaping Gorge's Han army is rushing over to help the Han army cross the river. Therefore, the real war is still going on in An Ling. "

On a hill on the other side of the river, Guan Yu was observing the situation of the battlefield. His brows furrowed more and more, and his expression became more and more serious. Even though there were only one ten thousand people in the third wave of Han troops, there were still about one hundred thousand people in the Gaoguellian! Although they were a motley crowd, their numbers were too great. Three waves of Han Chinese troops were compressed on three riverbanks and were bitterly soaked in blood.

"strategists, let's go all at once." Either rush to the riverbank, or get them to retreat! " Seeing his brothers bleeding by the river, Guan Yu could not take it anymore. He turned to look at Xun Yu and Xun Yu, and spoke to them.

There were not many Chinese troops who had yet to cross the river. They were mainly responsible for taking care of the entire army's war horses and transporting them across the river. Guan Yu was also anxious, if he were to put all his remaining strength into this, he would truly be risking everything.

"Wait a little longer, I think Zhao Yun and Cang Ba will be here soon." Xun Yu and Xun You were anxious too, but they did not dare take the risk. Even if the three groups of Han troops were to retreat, they wouldn't rashly allow the remaining Han army to go all out against them. As a strategist, he had to think of a way out at all times. Moreover, the Chinese Army was far from being ready to go for broke.

"Look …" There are cavalry soldiers coming from far away! "

At this moment, the Han Army standing on high and watching suddenly shouted out loud. Guan Yu, Xun Yu and Xun You anxiously looked up, only to see that upstream from the West Gorge River, a thick cloud of smoke had shot up to the sky, heading straight for An Ling.

"It's Zhao Yun, Cang Ba! They're finally here!" In that moment, Xun Yu and Uncle and Nephew were choked with sobs, and their eyes became moist. This was their first big battle so Zhao Yun and Cang Ba's victory was more or less decided.

"Brothers, board this raft! We're leaving!" Guan Yu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, he did not have the mind to see their Uncle and Nephew's tears. He shouted at the soldiers, and ran towards the river bank, jumping onto the raft.

Although the number of Gauzeli soldier was almost ten times that of the Han army and they held the absolute advantage, they did not achieve any obvious results. When the Korean Army Soldiers's people gathered together, they relied on the strong steel shield s and the fine armor, and like a steel hedgehog, they firmly nailed themselves onto the river bank.

The third wave of Han army led by Zhang Fei suffered the most casualties, even the hard-hearted Zhang Fei felt pain in his heart, and his heart was beating like a drum. These riders were the blood and sweat of the Lord General, how should he explain to them! Fortunately, the first and second group of troops had quickly climbed onto the river bank, which greatly reduced their pressure. If not, Zhang Fei's several thousand soldiers would be in danger.

"Brothers, our reinforcements are here, kill …"

Zhang Fei wiped off the blood on his face, and raised his head to see Gao Sheng and Jiang Zhen's groups who were already on the riverbank. He shouted loudly, raised his long knife and once again charged into the midst of the enemy. When the soldiers heard this shout, their morale immediately rose as they began to fight with all their might.

The Han army's raft rushed onto the riverbank, and the first group of Chinese Army Soldiers jumped off the raft and joined the battlefield. The Gaoguanli soldiers who were fighting with their lives on the line felt the pressure suddenly increase. The Han army pushed the entire battlefield slowly towards the shore, and the situation of the battlefield became more and more disadvantageous to the Gaoguellian.

A heavily injured Korean Army Soldiers, covered in blood, staggered along the riverbank. His left hand was carrying his steel shield while his right hand was still holding onto his long knife. Beside him lay the corpses of a few of his comrades. A few Gauzeli soldier s appeared in front of him, their sinister expressions clearly revealing a trace of fear.
