After Yuan Fu's troops had all gone over, Gongsun Xu did not give the order to attack, but continued to wait quietly. The surrounding subordinates were all confused. At this time, Yuan Fu and the rest were not on guard at all, as long as they could chase from behind, they would definitely obtain complete victory. However, the military discipline of the White Horse Camp was very strict. If the main general did not give an order, no one dared to speak up.

Gongsun Xu stared at Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's large flags from two to three miles away as he continuously calculated their gains and losses as well as the risks in his heart. The reason why he did not give the order to kill Yuan Fu from the back was because he wanted to try and kill both Liu Bei and Yuan Shu directly. However, after thinking about it carefully, he gave up on this idea. He estimated the distance, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's army would arrive in half an incense's time. Thus, he decided to make his move when the opposing party's vanguard arrived, he wanted to use his powerful bow and arrow to try and kill Liu Bei or Yuan Shu.

Just then, Liu Bei suddenly reined in his horse, turned and spoke to Yuan Shu: "Gong Luxiong, Yuan Fu has already chased after him for quite a while, but there's still no sign of fighting or killing. Could it be that Gongsun Xu has some other scheme?"

Yuan Shu sneered: "Isn't Xuan Dexiong thinking too highly of Gongsun kid? Even if Sun Wu were to be reborn, or if Bai Qi was alive, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble for us! If Xuan Dexiong is afraid, he might as well follow the army, I will open a path for you! "

Liu Bei frowned, while urging his horse forward, he smiled: "Gong Luxiong is too serious, I am just being extremely careful, if I let Gongsun Xu use some tricks in front of such a large army, wouldn't I lose all face?"

Yuan Shu laughed and said coldly: "I actually hope that Gongsun kid can come back after overestimating his capabilities. I'll let him see the true strength of an elite from the Huainan Army!"

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu's guards, pretended not to care, and laughed: "My Bai'er Soldier has 1200 people, and everyone can fight one versus ten, I wonder how many elite guards Gong Luxiong has?"

"1500 people!" 1500 people! Yuan Shu drew a circle around him with his right hand, and said proudly: "These are all warriors chosen from the best of my race, they are all painstakingly trained every day, and have never been willing to send them onto the battlefield. If Gongsun Xu dares to provoke them, I will make sure that he will not be able to return!"

Liu Bei secretly counted the number of Yuan Shu's guards around him, discovering that the number of guards was indeed not too far from what Yuan Shu had said, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, the number of people in Bai'er Soldier was not one thousand two hundred, but two thousand four hundred.

Unknowingly, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu were already less than a hundred steps away from the woods. Yuan Shu was still boasting about the power of his elite guards, while belittling Gongsun Zanfuzi. Liu Bei casually said a few words, but his eyes continued to stare at the forest in front of him. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong. Just in case, he quietly allowed his horse to slow down, pulling away from Yuan Shu by two or three steps.

Gongsun Xu shifted his gaze from Liu Bei to Yuan Shu. After taking a deep breath, he slowly pulled his longbow apart and aimed it at Yuan Shu.

"Gongsun Xu has a false reputation. Once I capture him alive, I will definitely humiliate him!"

While Yuan Shu was blabbering nonstop, Gongsun Xu pulled on the bow and released the bowstring.

"Whiz!" This four foot long armor-breaking arrow passed through the leaves of the forest and flew like lightning towards Yuan Shu who was seventy to eighty steps away.

Just as Yuan Shu thought that Liu Bei was walking at the same pace as him, why did he suddenly fall behind? He turned his head to ask, but the arrow had already arrived.

Several guards cried out at the same time, "My lord, be careful!"

Liu Bei also noticed the arrow and shouted anxiously: "Gong Luxiong, there's a cold arrow, dodge!"

Yuan Shu turned around in panic, only to see a black line heading straight for his chest. He did not have any time to think, and quickly dodged to the left! His movement was very fast, but unfortunately, it was a bit too late. Although he barely avoided the fatal wound on his chest, it still hit his right shoulder. The arrow instantly penetrated through the armor and pierced deeply into his flesh.

Yuan Shu screamed and fell to the ground. The horse under him was shocked and with a shout, it rushed forward.

"My lord!" Yuan Shu's guards turned pale with fright, and jumped down from their horses one after another and rushed over.

"Gong Luxiong!" Liu Bei was also shocked, but he did not get down from his horse to check. Instead, he quickly hid among his guards, afraid that he would be attacked too.

"What a pity!" Gongsun Xu sighed in regret, he quickly kept his bow, raised it and waved, "Go out!"

More than three hundred people followed closely behind Gongsun Xu, rushing out of the forest like ferocious tigers, straight at Yuan Shu who had fallen to the ground.

Everyone, including Liu Bei, were shocked. Although the other party did not have many people, they had an imposing manner, like a moving steel wall, and did not know how to deal with them.

Liu Bei quickly reacted and shouted: "Stop them! Stop them! "

Yuan Shu's guards were the first to respond as they spurred their horses to charge towards Gongsun Xu's group. The army behind them was still more than ten steps away, if they were to rush over, no one could guarantee that Yuan Shu would not be harmed.

The dozens of people who had already dismounted supported Yuan Shu who was screaming endlessly, and quickly retreated. When he fell from the horse earlier, Yuan Shu had unlucky enough to hit his right shoulder first, but the result was that the arrow that hit the ground was snapped in half. The few inch long arrow was left completely in his flesh, almost causing him to faint from the pain.

With a wave of his hand, Bai'er Soldier charged towards the guards and shouted sternly, "Hurry and get the doctors here to heal Gong Luxiong's injuries!"

The few guards immediately turned their horses around and ran towards the back of the group. The Doctor, the Fire Head Army and auxiliary force were together in the rear of the troop.

"Gong Luxiong, how are your injuries?" Liu Bei supported Yuan Shu and asked anxiously.

The pain from Yuan Shu's wound was unbearable, he could not even utter a single word. He shook his head, then forcefully raised his left hand and pointed at Gongsun Xu who was in front of him.

Liu Bei quickly consoled her, "Don't worry, Gongsun Xu will definitely not rush over! I will personally go up, and definitely avenge Gong Luxiong! "

"Many thanks!" Yuan Shu trembled as he spat out a few words.

Carry Gong Luxiong to the back to rest! Liu Bei gave an order, he turned and jumped onto his horse, raised his twin swords and shouted: Bai'er Soldier, undefeatable, charge forth!

"Bai'er Soldier, invincible!" The surrounding 1,000 plus people echoed his words, and their roars shook the sky.

"Kill!" Liu Bei pointed his twin swords at Gongsun Xu and spurred his horse forward.

How could the surrounding Bai'er Soldier let their lord rush to the front, they all urged their horses to surpass Liu Bei, and waved their weapons to kill Gongsun Xu.

At this time, they had already clashed with Gongsun Xu's cavalry. Even though these guards were carefully chosen warriors, most of them wore leather armour with less than twenty percent of them wearing armor. When such a light cavalry clashed with the heavy cavalry, the result could be imagined. In that moment, everyone fell, Yuan Shu's guards all fell, unable to stop the enemy's charge.

Gongsun Xu was at the very front, holding his pike that looked like a poisonous dragon coming out of its lance, every strike would take the life of an opponent, and the ones blocking in front of him would continuously fall off their horses, not a single person was able to harm him. Gongsun Xu was like a sharp arrow, under his lead, the three hundred over heavy cavalry were like tigers charging into a flock of sheep, and only managed to defeat Yuan Shu's elite guards.

When Liu Bei saw this, he turned pale with fright. Bai'er Soldier's equipment was almost the same as Yuan Shu's guards, maybe even worse. They couldn't stop Gongsun Xu at all, and their own Bai'er Soldier wouldn't be able to either! He could not help but regret, he should not have rushed up to Gongsun Xu when he saw the small number of people, instead he should have let his shield and blade soldiers surround him! However, they had already started their charge, and had no choice but to fire off arrows. Even though Liu Bei knew that rushing forward would make him lose, he still had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.

Just as Liu Bei was panicking, Gongsun Xu suddenly shouted loudly. The rushing heavy cavalry s quickly slowed down and stopped about twenty steps away from Liu Bei's group. They quickly turned their horses around and clustered Gongsun Xu as he turned around to leave.

Liu Bei was enraged but also rejoiced, if Gongsun Xu had not retreated, even if he had led the Bai'er Soldier to keep him, the casualties would not be small at all. But no matter what, he could not let Gongsun Xu leave this easily.

Two to three kilometers ahead of them, Yuan Fu was rushing back while leading a group. His face was completely pale. When he heard the sounds of fighting behind him, he immediately turned his head to look, and when he saw that Yuan Shu had been struck hard, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Yuan Shu had always been vengeful and extremely harsh on his subordinates, because his carelessness did not discover the conspiracy behind Gongsun Xu's plot, causing Yuan Shu to be seriously injured, his own ending could be imagined! The reason why he was still able to muster up the courage to lead his troops back was because he wanted to make a last stand to leave a path for his family to live.

"Gongsun Xu, hand over your life!" When the two of them were separated by more than 10 steps, Yuan Fu bellowed and waved his blade at Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu laughed coldly, and rushed forward on his horse.

Clang! 's long spear pierced through Yuan Fu's long blade, following that, his wrist trembled, the tip of the spear slashed across Yuan Fu's throat. The latter clutched at her throat with both hands and fell to the ground with a tumble. She died after a few rolls.

Gongsun Xu raised his spear and pierced the few enemies in front of him down from his horse. Under Gongsun Xu's lead, they were like sharp daggers, swiftly slashing through the crowd in front of them without any obstruction.
