At a distance of twenty to thirty steps, the Wan-Sheng Camp soldiers had only thrown out a short spear, and the two sides clashed. In an instant, the Wan-Sheng Camp soldiers were all toppled over, and both the riders and horses were hit so hard that their bones and tendons broke. Gongsun Xu and the other thirty odd riders were like a hard hammer, smashing the Wan-Sheng Camp's formation into a large hole!
When the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry attacked, they released an extremely huge amount of power. If not for the fact that Gongsun Xu had too few people, it was very possible that he would have directly smashed his way through the enemy.
Seeing Gongsun Xu rushing towards him, Li Feng could not help but panic, he only had one arm left to use, being alone against Gongsun Xu was tantamount to seeking death, so he anxiously called for his personal guards to come forward to block.
Over thirty heavy cavalry s followed closely behind Gongsun Xu, doing their utmost to kill the enemies in front of them. Those who were struck by their ring head knife, without exception, were killed on the spot, and some of them were even sliced into two halves. Although these iron Zhanmadao were unable to directly cut through the heavy armor made of fine steel, the powerful impact was still not to be underestimated. As long as the Zhanmadao was able to hit the vital parts, even with the protection of the heavy armor, it was still unable to counteract the powerful force of the Zhanmadao.
When Gongsun Xu had rushed to the front of Li Feng, he only had seventeen or eighteen subordinates left behind to follow him and the rest had already fallen off their horses and died.
The two hundred or so people who had already crossed the bridge were extremely anxious. The dozens of people around the bridgehead, ignoring the strict orders given by Gongsun Xu, returned from the wooden bridge and charged towards the large group of enemies. The rest of the people all turned their horses, preparing to go back to the other side of the river to help Gongsun Xu.
When Gongsun Xu heard the anxious shouts coming from his subordinates on the riverbank, he immediately turned around in a hurry and looked back in anger and fury. The reason why he had brought dozens of cavalrymen to pursue and attack his pursuers, was not only because he was confident that he could break out of the encirclement, but also because he wanted to make sure that more and more people could escape. After all, every person had spent a lot of his effort and money, but those guys didn't understand his own hardships. He urged his horse to retreat quickly after killing Li Feng.
Li Feng's personal guards quickly welcomed him, with a few sword slashes flying straight at Gongsun Xu.
Gongsun Xu snorted, his long spear struck and all the weapons in his hands flew out, one of the enemies' sword was blocked, and just happened to land on his own neck, a big head quickly flew into the air. While they were riding on their horses, Gongsun Xu's spear swept across and easily knocked two people off their horses, and then shot them towards Li Feng.
Li Feng was shocked, she anxiously clenched her weapon and tried her best to resist.
Clang! After a loud noise, Li Feng's palm split open, and the weapon in his hand flew out of his hand without any suspense.
Gongsun Xu quickly pulled back his spear, and with a flip of his hand, he stabbed towards Li Feng's ribs.
Li Feng was unable to dodge in time, and could only leap to the side. Although he had luckily avoided Gongsun Xu's attack, he fell down from the horse's back, and just as he rolled twice on the ground, he was hit by a horse behind him. He didn't even have time to groan before he fainted.
Gongsun Xu charged forward seven or eight steps before swiftly turning around and charging straight towards Li Feng who was on the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Feng's personal guards rushed over like a swarm of bees, fearlessly pouncing towards Gongsun Xu.
Gongsun Xu's long spear struck consecutively, and very quickly seven or eight people were assassinated on the spot, but after delaying for a while, Li Feng was already dragged away by a group of guards, while the rest of the Wan-Sheng Camp's soldiers quickly surrounded them, Gongsun Xu did not dare to continue fighting, and hastily called for the others, riding towards the bridge.
At this time, only nine people remained behind, all of them were drenched in blood, their men and horses were all panting, all of them had consumed most of their energy in the rush to kill Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu pulled himself together and sprinted forward single-handedly like a sharp arrow. Relying on his formidable strength, he brought the nine of them forward smoothly, and very quickly, he pierced through the encirclement of the Wan-Sheng Camp's soldiers, and reunited with the rest of the subordinates who had returned.
The soldiers who had returned saw that Gongsun Xu was safe and sound, and couldn't help but to let out a burst of cheers, after which they cupped their fists and pleaded for punishment, "We have defied the order, General, please punish us!"
Gongsun Xu shouted loudly, "Let's talk about the punishments later, hurry up and cross the bridge!"
Everyone answered loudly and then rushed towards the wooden bridge.
Gongsun Xu turned around. The other party had already fallen into a state of chaos, and it would probably be some time before they could catch up again. This period of time was more than enough for him and his subordinates to safely cross the bridge. He looked at the dead bodies of the soldiers on the ground and sighed regretfully. Although he had only lost a few dozen people, it was an extremely heavy loss for him.
Li Feng was unconscious, and the Wan-Sheng Camp had lost his backbone for a while. When the few Academy Officer s and military lord s regrouped into their groups, Gongsun Xu's subordinates had already passed the wooden bridge, waiting for Gongsun Xu to arrive alone. Just as Gongsun Xu was about to push his horse onto the bridge, he suddenly stopped. He took off his bow and released three arrows consecutively, shooting all three Wan-Sheng Camp Warriors who were within a hundred steps from the ground down. The others were afraid of Gongsun Xu's powerful bow and arrow, and anxiously used their weapons to prepare to defend, but they could not help but slow down their speed.
When the soldiers on the other side saw Gongsun Xu displaying his Divine Shot Technique, they all cheered for him.
Gongsun Xu laughed, put away his bow and arrows, and rode his horse onto the wooden bridge. Every time he reached the next pier, he would extend his spear and pull the bridge board down into the water, and when he reached the other side of the river and lifted up the last bridge board, the wooden bridge was no longer there.
Everyone escaped death and raised their weapons as they shouted excitedly, "General is mighty! General! "
"Hurry up and take off your armor. Retreat!" Gongsun Xu was concerned about Lv Bu and Chen Gong's safety, and quickly issued the order.
There were only two hundred odd people remaining from the original three hundred plus heavy cavalry s. They quickly took off their armor and horses, and then prepared to retreat.
Just then, the Wan-Sheng Camp's soldiers had already caught up to the other side of the river, and started shouting at Gongsun Xu and the others. Those ill-tempered people ignored the width of the river and threw short spears towards them with all their might. Other than Gongsun Xu, the other people only had crossbow s, they did not carry bows and arrows, and their range was not enough to kill the enemies on the other side.
Gongsun Xu shook his head, he was not interested in this type of curse formation at all. Seeing that everyone had already packed up their armor, he originally wanted to give the order to leave, but suddenly, with a thought, he nocked an arrow and shot it at the person on the other side who scolded the most.
Gongsun Xu once again shot an arrow at the ground on the other side of the river, and then shouted sternly: "If you dare go up the former, die!"
The soldiers of the Wan-Sheng Camp were shocked and quickly retreated. A few of them retreated in a hurry, but unfortunately, they bumped into their companions, causing quite a chaos.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xu's subordinates cheered again.
Gongsun Xu shouted: "All of you, retreat! This general will arrive shortly! "
Everyone stopped cheering and urged their warhorses forward along the riverbank.
Gongsun Xu stood alone at the edge of the river bank, his hands holding his bow and arrow facing the other side. Unexpectedly, not a single soldier of the Wan-Sheng Camp rushed forward.
After a while, when all of his subordinates had disappeared behind the forest in front, Gongsun Xu kept his bow and arrows and spurred his horse forward to chase after them.
A few Academy Officer s and military lord s on the other side of the river watched Gongsun Xu leave and started to discuss together.
"Gongsun Xu really lives up to his name! I'm afraid he is at the same level as Lv Bu! "
"Hey, you still have the heart to think about this? How should we account to our master that General Li Feng has fainted from such a severe injury? "
"That's right!" If our master finds out that Gongsun Xu has escaped safely, he will definitely give us a heavy blame! Do the brothers have any good ideas for dealing with this? "
"I have a question. My lord will be in a hurry to cross the river when he arrives. It would be better for the soldiers to cut down the trees and build a new wooden bridge. When that happens, my lord's anger will be slightly reduced!"
"Alright!" Just do it! "
With an order from the Wan-Sheng Camp, the soldiers rushed towards the nearby woods and started to cut down trees to build wooden bridges.
