Wherever they could move away to, they would have already been torn into pieces by the soldiers. Over eight thousand large carriages were piled up to the brim with money, food, tents, cooking utensils, etc. xanthopanax was not willing to leave anything behind.
Over 140,000 soldiers stood quietly at the entrance of the camp. Over 60,000 Lance Soldier were lined up in the front, middle and back rows respectively, and a small number of archer followed behind them. The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves was extremely nervous, their Arrows were already nocked on their bowstrings, ready to fight at any time.
Sun Guan looked outside the camp gloomily. The four troops of the cavalry of Youzhou were still guarding the surroundings of the camp like hyenas. However, he could not hesitate any longer. He had to leave immediately. Only by entering the mountain would he be able to feel at ease. It was as if a fish had entered the sea, and that was his world.
"Brothers, we are over two hundred miles from Mt. Tai. As long as we leave the camp, the cavalry of Youzhou will immediately entangle us like a mad dog. Whether or not we can escape the cavalry of Youzhou will determine whether or not we can live or die. Yin Li was in the lead, Wu Dun was in the middle to provide support, Chang Xi was in the back. "Brothers, success or failure will be decided in one move, let's go!"
The camp slowly opened. Ten thousand Lance Soldier s filed out, closely followed by Yin Li who formed a formation outside the camp. Immediately after, over five thousand archer s walked out of the camp, lined up neatly behind the Long Gunners.
Seeing that the vanguard troops had already set up their defensive formations, Sun Guan waved his spear, and the second batch of xanthopanax s rushed out of the camp, forming another defensive formation a few hundred steps away from the vanguard troops.
Sun Guan and his personal guards walked out of the camp, while behind them, the grandiose ox-carts troops started to lead the troops towards the outside of the camp, passing between the two defensive formations. They did not stop at all, and continued to walk forward.
Chang Xi who was at the back of the palace finally walked out of his camp and formed another defensive formation. Between the three defensive formations, it was like a word, surrounding their luggage.
Under the moonlight, the wilderness was abnormally quiet. Other than the sounds of the bugs in the grass, there seemed to be no other sounds. Even the cavalry of Youzhou s who were lingering around silently stood there and did not move.
Sun Guan could not help but frown, the calmer it was, the more uncertain he was, he did not believe that the cavalry of Youzhou would let him go, it only meant that the cavalry of Youzhou had a conspiracy behind it. However, he did not turn back to fire. Even Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild would have to charge in. He clenched his teeth and gave the order.
"Let's go."
Hundreds of thousands of people were crawling in the wilderness like a snake, moving in a zigzag manner that stretched for ten miles. The little bugs in the grass had long disappeared, leaving only the several thousand ox-carts. "Creak. Creak." The noise was so loud that it spread far and wide in the empty field...
As for those hundred teams of cavalry of Youzhou, they closely followed behind. They did not attack nor leave, and it was as if they were sending off the xanthopanax.
It was not yet sunrise, and the sky was just beginning to brighten. It was a beautiful and boundless moment. In the deep, pale sky, there were still a few stars scattered about. The grass trembled slightly, and everywhere was shrouded in a mysterious light. It was as if a lark had joined the stars, singing high in the sky, and the vast sky seemed to hold its breath as it listened to the little life singing its hymn to the boundless universe.
Not far away, more than twenty thousand cavalrymen stood silently in the morning light. From time to time, a few horses would shake their heads and give them a few snuffling sounds. Behind the cavalry soldiers stood the Gongjing of Qingzhou Thorn's tens of thousands of soldiers, who were standing there silently, perhaps under the influence of the cavalry soldiers.
Yang Lin who was on his horse looked at the colourful light on the eastern horizon and revealed a faint smile. He nodded to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhu and the others who were beside him.
"The Qingzhou Yellow Scarf is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It's just that Sun Guan was too stingy, he couldn't even bear to throw away the pots and pans. With these ten thousand carriages, he will not be able to reach Mt. Tai even if he traveled for another three days. "
Zhang Fei did not care that the Qingzhou soldiers were stingy or not, he had been waiting until now.
"Big Brother, it's time to attack, right?"
Yang Lin raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at the continuous array of yellow scarfed snakes, and ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Dian Wei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou.
"Brothers, Sun Guan is stingy, we cannot be greedy. Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, the two of you are heading towards the thirty thousand over Lance Soldier s at the back. Cut them all, and cut off Sun Guan's tail first. Do you understand? "
Everyone answered in unison.
"Understood."
Yang Lin coldly pointed his spear forward.
"Charge."
Facing the morning sun in the east, more than three thousand cavalrymen held their sabers high as they galloped forward. The bright silver blade blade reflected rays of golden light in the colourful morning light, driving away the last bit of the black shadow before dawn. It also stung the eyes of the xanthopanax soldiers.
The xanthopanax s in the long snake formation immediately responded. They all pressed their spears to the ground, pointed their spears straight at the incoming cavalry of Youzhou and formed a defensive formation. The other archer s also pulled on their bowstrings, nocked their Arrows and took aim at the cavalry of Youzhou.
The cavalry of Youzhou lined up in a straight line, and after every one hundred people in a wave, they didn't attack the Long Spear Array. Dian Wei brought the first one hundred people to rush to archer who was in front of the spear team.
"Shoot!"
The high-ranking officer of the archery formation shouted. Rows after rows of Arrows soared into the sky, bringing with them a whistling sound that pierced through the air. They arced through the air and pierced into the cavalry.
Immediately, some of the cavalrymen fell off their horses. In a sprint, falling off their horses meant death. Although the cavalry were in armor, they could not ensure that they were unharmed. War meant bloodshed and sacrifice.
Within the effective range of the range, it would not tolerate the archer to shoot the third arrow. Furthermore, it was a straight line charge, with the back of the horse very spread out, the damage wasn't too big, and after taking over a dozen casualties, the cavalry stepped into the archers' formation.
"Kill …"
Dian Wei roared, seeing his own soldiers falling beside him, Dian Wei was enraged, he could no longer care about capturing anything alive, he galloped, and with a swing of his halberd, he pierced through the commander that was commanding the arrow, and rushed out from the enemy lines.
According to Yang Lin's tactics, the cavalry did not stop in the middle of the enemy lines. When the cavalry charged, they would keep their blades pointed forward, cutting down the enemy, then move their horses forward, the tip of their swords slanted down to the right, allowing the enemy's corpse to slide down the tip of their blades.
Following that was the second, third, and fourth squadron … After that, the riders tried to attack from both sides of the gap, causing the gap to get bigger and bigger. By the time the first wave of cavalry had passed, the gap was already three miles wide.
After circling around the perimeter, Dian Wei saw the last squadron of riders pass through the formation, bringing his first squadron of riders to attack once again. By the time the second round of riders passed through, Sun Guan's Serpent Formation had already been decapitated.
Just then, the Qingzhou guard led by Zhao Yun had already rushed up and stabbed him through the gap with a blade, forcibly stopping the Lance Soldier behind him. Those Qingzhou soldiers shouted, opening up their bows, waiting for the xanthopanax to rush up.
Chang Xi was already in great disorder. In the blink of an eye, over thirty thousand of his own Lance Soldier s had been surrounded. There were soldiers in front, followed by the Outpost, there were many cavalrymen on the left and right waiting to charge forward. Looking at the way the tiger was glaring at him, it was difficult for him to withstand a few assaults.
He immediately commanded the Lance Soldier to shrink into a ball and form a giant hedgehog formation, waiting for Sun Guan's rescue. He did not dare rush up, and seeing that the cavalry of Youzhou was charging towards him like a tiger and a wolf, he could only adopt a defensive strategy.
Right at the moment when Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were about to charge, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, together with more than three thousand riders, charged towards the combined front and center of the army of Sun Guan, their target was also archer. Amongst Sun Guan's xanthopanax, the biggest force against the cavalry alliance was the archer. After exterminating the archer, Sun Guan had nothing he could do.
It was almost the same as Dian Wei's and Xu Zhu's tactics. After two rounds of Charge, the remaining archer in front opened up a gap of two li in width. Cang Ba followed suit and brought twenty thousand soldiers to separate Yin Li's long spear team from Wu Dun's long spear team.
Just like this, Sun Guan's Serpent Formation was cut into three sections, the vanguard Yin Li was handed over to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the tail Chang Xi left for Dian Wei and Xu Zhu. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in the middle, both of them wanting to fight with Sun Guan.
Yang Lin only had Kang Ying, Zheng Wei, Zhang Ying, Xiao Qing's female cavalry, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, and Wang Yan left as the two Guang Yang cavalry thousand-man unit s standing quietly on the slope, admiring the early spring sun. The warm sun shone onto the desolate battlefield for more than five miles, on which the cavalry was running back and forth, their blades gleaming, and the stench of blood in the air permeating everywhere.
According to Sun Guan's arrangements, the three long spear teams in xanthopanax were huddled up tightly together, using their pikes to form a barrier. They were trying to use their pikes to defend themselves.
But cavalry of Youzhou did not attack in a hurry, she did not even need to shoot. Instead, she started to attack psychologically, shouting "Surrender and don't kill", preparing to completely destroy xanthopanax's fighting spirit.
Xu Zhu spurred his horse to walk in front of Chang Xi's Long Spear Array, and when he saw the yellow scarfed soldier who was anxiously waiting, he could not help but feel a little happy. No wonder big brother had to capture them. If they were to train for a bit, it would definitely be a formidable squadron.
"Chang Xi, listen carefully. Don't count on Sun Guan to save you. My big brother knows that you are all poor people and doesn't want to kill too many. As long as you put down your weapons, you can promise not to kill a single person. "
However, no one replied as they still held onto their last glimmer of hope. With just these few thousand cavalrymen and more than twenty thousand foot soldiers, they probably wouldn't be able to stop Sun Guan. Chang Xi shouted as he gathered his men to face the charge of the cavalry of Youzhou.
Sun Guan had already recovered from his shock and fear. He seemed to have realized something, for the past few days, cavalry of Youzhou had been concealing his strength and was purposely teasing him.
"Damned soldiers, so they were actually deceiving us. cavalry of Youzhou is not filled with over five thousand people, there are at least three ten thousand people s, they are waiting for us to retreat. "
"Lord General, it's too late to regret now. It's better to quickly think of a way."
Only Yellow Scarves had her head and tail cut off, and she still had over fifty thousand soldiers by his side. Suddenly, he saw the ox-carts filled with food and valuables. He immediately thought of the purpose of the ox-carts and ordered the soldiers to push them forward.
"Wu Dun, bring along the gunner and rely on the oxcart to move towards Yin Li."
But as soon as Sun Guan and Wu Dun took action, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately brought along their cavalry to rush up. Because Sun Guan had the oxcart protecting him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's cavalry did not directly clash with him. Some of the monsters ran away in pain after being shot by the arrows, and the result was that xanthopanax's carriage was thrown all over the place.
"Kid Sun Guan, do you dare to fight with me, Old Zhang, for three hundred rounds?"
Sun Guan, who was already fuming with anger, immediately spurred his horse when he heard that someone was challenging him. He had always maintained his strong martial arts, he did not put anyone else in his eyes. He rushed forward without replying, and brandished his spear at Zhang Fei.
Dong!
The two shots collided, and the sound was like a clap of thunder, causing the wilderness to echo. The spear and the spear clashed, and then separated in an instant. Unexpectedly, Sun Guan's spear didn't slip away from his hand, as the two horses passed by each other.
Sun Guan's ears were trembling from the sound of the collision just now, and both of his arms were numb. The palm of his hand had already split open, and traces of dark red blood seeped out from it. He looked at Zhang Fei with widened eyes. He could no longer hear anything around him, so he shook his head with all his might, trying to clear his mind.
"Kid, you have strength. Come again."
Zhang Fei forced himself to stay calm, his hands becoming numb, he could not help but exclaim in his heart: Good kid, your strength is not small, but you still dare not speak of it, your face full of ridicule. That smile was filled with contempt for his opponent, the deepest level of contempt. As a brave warrior, Sun Guan definitely would not tolerate such contempt.
Sun Guan roared, his voice was like thunder, suddenly holding onto the horse belly, his hands tightly gripped onto the long spear, he fiercely rushed towards Zhang Fei. The horse was kicked up in a cloud of dust, and in a blink of an eye, it was already in front of Zhang Fei.
Since Yang Lin had already said that he would capture these generals alive, Zhang Fei was unable to find a way to do so for the time being. The two of them fought for more than fifty rounds before Zhang Fei finally found an opportunity. With a "peng" sound, Zhang Fei smashed his spear onto the horse, causing it to ruthlessly fall on the ground, throwing Sun Guan more than three meters away.
"We caught Sun Guan, we caught Sun Guan …"
Yin Li, who was in charge of leading the group, saw himself trapped in the wilderness, feeling extremely anxious. He attempted to rush back and charge towards Sun Guan. But just as the formation began to move, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's cavalry army arrived swiftly, scaring Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves so much that he had no choice but to gather together again.
Without the archer's protection, the thirty thousand plus Lance Soldier were like a hedgehog, a hedgehog waiting to be slaughtered. Although they were sharp, they could not protect themselves. The cavalry soldiers could pierce them with their arrows.
There were also those more than twenty thousand Qingzhou soldiers, all of them with open bows and arrows waiting for them, ready to shoot at any time. If they wanted to charge through, they would have to sacrifice at least half of their soldiers. If the mounted soldiers charged from the back, no one would be able to escape.
"Yin Li, if you don't put down your weapons and surrender, I will order my arrows to kill all of you here."
Wen Chou was already impatient. With these thirty thousand odd Lance Soldier s, a few rounds of Arrows s would be enough. But Big Bro was determined to capture him, and these guys actually didn't appreciate his kindness and stubbornly resisted until the end.
"Lord General, I think we should lower it. cavalry of Youzhou did not have the intention to kill all of them. If we continue to hold on, that guy might really lose her patience and shoot us all to death here. "
"Let's wait a little longer. If General Sun Guan can rush over, maybe we can still have a way out. If he can't rush over here, then we will accept our fate. Perhaps surrendering to him is a good choice. "
Yin Li's personal guards saw him escaping and looked into the distance, and immediately advised him to surrender, but Yin Li still held onto a trace of hope. Just as both sides were at a loss for what to do, shouts rang out from the wilderness. When Sun Guan was caught, xanthopanax's spirit collapsed as well. Yin Li sighed to the sky, revealing a bitter smile, and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Surrender."
Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were actually quite heavy, no matter how Chang Xi tossed and turned, they kept a close eye on him, as if they were toying with a hedgehog. He tortured Chang Xi to the point where he needed to use all his strength. Seeing that there was no hope for them to break out of the encirclement, Chang Xi was disheartened. However, when he suddenly heard that Sun Guan had been caught, the two of them tried their best to persevere and, in the end, could only give the order to put down their weapons.
On the other hand, Wu Dun was the most straightforward person. He had been watching Sun Guan and Zhang Fei's battle the entire time, and although they were happy to see Sun Guan's martial arts, they could clearly see that the Youzhou general's martial arts was even higher. He did not have any intention of killing Sun Guan, but only wanted to capture him alive. When they saw Sun Guan being captured, they knew that they had lost their upper hand and immediately ordered them to put down their weapons.
