The strongest thing the heavy cavalry relied on was the powerful impact. If he lost his speed, he would have no impact and he could only fight his opponent like how the walking soldier fought. Fortunately, their armor was sturdy and durable, and the blades in their hands were sharp enough. Even though they had fallen into a chaotic battle, the Xuzhou Army, who held the absolute advantage in numbers, was unable to cause them any major casualties.
Guan Yu was not angry at all seeing this scene. The current situation was already within his expectations, the heavy armors of the other cavalry soldiers would definitely not be light for sure, and the amount of stamina they would consume would definitely be extremely huge. As long as they could endure for a period of time, their stamina would definitely be depleted, and at that time, it would be as easy as flipping his palm to annihilate them! He waved his hand and shouted for more people to attack.
Guan Yu sneered, the scene in front of him had proven that his plan was correct. As long as he exterminated this group of heavy cavalry, the old, weak, and crippled Bingzhou Army would be easy to deal with. It was a pity that he did not know that the xianzhen camp did not follow Lv Bu out for the battle and would quickly rush over to attack, if not he would have reacted in advance.
Gao Shun watched from behind as the heavy cavalry kept on falling. He was both angry and anxious as he ordered his subordinates to go over and urge Wei Xu to break the encirclement on the Xuzhou Army as well as to rescue Hou Meng and the others. The messenger replied and left. Gao Shun thought for a while about giving the team to Song Xian to lead, while he himself brought the other three hundred xianzhen camp's soldiers to rush forward.
Hou Meng growled as he slashed with all his might, the corpses of more than a dozen Xuzhou Army lying in front of him had already fallen. When he once again slashed at the person in front of him, his war horse was suddenly stabbed in the calf by a Xuzhou Army soldier. Caught off guard, Hou Meng somersaulted and fell to the side, just when luck was on his back. His right leg was actually firmly pressed down by the horse that fell on the ground, he struggled with all his might, yet was unable to pull his right leg back.
The surrounding seven or eight Xuzhou Army soldiers were overjoyed when they saw this, they had long realized that Hou Meng was their leader so when they saw this rare opportunity, they immediately rushed forward and used all kinds of weapons that struck their heads towards Hou Meng.
Hou Meng did not let go of the blade in his hand, he anxiously used his blade to block, but there were too many weapons, so he could only wave his two pikes, the other few pikes pierced into his arm at the same time, although they could not pierce through the armor, but the powerful force caused his weapon to fly out of his hand. Seeing that the other party had launched another attack, Hou Meng had no choice but to raise his arms to protect his face. Unfortunately, the good news did not last long. Seeing that they were unable to kill Hou Meng, the Xuzhou Army Warriors used the pikes in their hands as sticks and fiercely lashed at Hou Meng's head.
After being continuously hit on the head by the spear shaft, Hou Meng felt as if stars had shot out in front of his eyes, and his chest was also extremely stuffy. Unable to endure it any longer, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed into the mask. The few Xuzhou Army Warriors were even more heartless when they saw the situation. The spears were like raindrops as they lashed out at Hou Meng's head and body. One of them picked up a piece of wood that was as thick as a bowl and swung it ruthlessly at Hou Meng's head.
Hou Meng's vision turned black as he fell to the ground.
A commander of the Xuzhou Army rushed forward, attempting to take Hou Meng's helmet off before cutting his head off. The others also reacted quickly and rushed forward. The head of the man on the ground was valuable, and the armor of men and horses must be worth a lot too. If he could get a complete set of armor then it would be equivalent to getting a huge sum of money.
Guan Yu was originally very happy when he saw Hou Meng fall to the ground, but then he saw his subordinates actually starting to fight over the spoils of war. He could not help but get angry, and when the situation was not set, these guys started to snatch at everything they had. He pointed at them and shouted, "Where is the supervising team? Kill those bastards! "Pass down the order, those who dare to snatch the spoils of war will be executed before the war is over!"
A dozen burly men wearing red robes and carrying red scarves on their heads, carrying thick machetes in their hands, quickly rushed forward and beheaded the sergeants and three soldiers on the spot. The others turned pale with fright and scrambled to the side.
The leading red robed man shouted out, "The General Guan has ordered that before the battle ends, no one is allowed to snatch the spoils of war! Otherwise, they will not be able to!" Before he could even utter the word 'pardon', he was shot in the throat by a sharp arrow and fell to the ground dead.
The surrounding people were shocked, they anxiously looked towards the direction of where the arrow came from. Dozens of steps away, they saw a black armored big man who just so happened to put away his bow, holding a five foot long blade, he rushed over with four to five hundred armored strong walking soldier s following him. All of these strong and sturdy walking soldier s were tall and strong, holding long and wide blades that were even longer than the army's standard ring head knife s, they all walked over with orderly steps, their aura was not any weaker than when Hou Meng charged into the array with the heavy cavalry just now.
"xianzhen camp!" Guan Yu growled as his expression instantly changed. He silently cursed himself for being too careless, and actually did not even know that the xianzhen camp was still in the city with such important news.
Guan Yu had been to the Xiao Pei many times, so he had a good understanding of the xianzhen camp. He knew that the Heavy Armor walking soldier that Gao Shun had created to train with was extremely valiant, and in a situation where the number of people was equal, perhaps only his older brother Liu Bei who had not completed the training could resist against the Bai'er Soldier! When he was in a chaotic battle, xianzhen camp, who had his feet planted on the ground, was obviously more powerful than Gongsun Xu's group of heavy cavalry.
"Go up and stop them!" Guan Yu immediately decided, and ordered the three thousand elite soldiers that were waiting behind to meet the enemy.
These three thousand elite soldiers were all Lance Soldier and Lance Soldiers. Hearing their orders, they quickly circled around the battle zone in front and hurriedly began setting up a formation, attempting to use the dense Long Spear Array s to block the xianzhen camp.
At the moment, xianzhen camp was only around 80 steps away from the Lance Soldier, and Wei Xu was a veteran who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Seeing the enemy form a formation quickly, he knew that it was the best time to break through them, so he shouted: "Speed up! Disperse them! "
The xianzhen camp soldiers were running very fast, but after hearing Wei Xu's order, they started running even faster. In just a short span of a dozen breaths, they had already traversed the distance of eighty steps. Under Wei Xu's lead, they were like tigers charging down a mountain, charging into a crowd of Lance Soldier s that had not finished assembling.
In the blink of an eye, the saber light was like a forest as blood flowed out like a waterfall. Broken limbs and broken spears scattered everywhere. Due to the heavy and sharp blades used by the xianzhen camp's soldiers, all of the people that were struck by the blades died on the spot. In just a single exchange, two to three hundred Lance Soldier s died under the blades.
Wei Xu would never forgive them for gaining the upper hand. The guards at his side blocked the attack from both sides for him, so he only focused on dealing with the people in front of him. Although these Lance Soldier were all elites, they were no match for Wei Xu. All the people blocking in front of him were hacked into two, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Xu had brought xianzhen camp to the center of the group of pike soldiers.
At this time, the xianzhen camp's formation had also started to become messy. Other than the more than two hundred people beside Wei Xu, the rest of the people started to fight on their own, with casualties constantly appearing. Relying on the advantage of numbers, Xuzhou Army gradually turned the tables on the situation. The soldiers who were running in all directions also rushed back under the angry shouts from the leaders, attacking xianzhen camp from all directions.
Wei Xu led his group and charged forward a distance. Just like Hou Meng and his group, they also fell into the lances of the forest. Their armor was completely incomparable to the armor worn by the White Horse Camp's soldiers. If they were to encounter an opponent's full power thrust, their armor would often be penetrated. When injuries that were not fatal yet could cause blood to continuously appear, even a man made of iron would not be able to withstand it! In less than ten minutes, Wei Xu and the others had already killed and injured five to six hundred opponents, but only half of the five hundred people he brought remained. The surrounding Xuzhou Army soldiers were still attacking them from all sides. Wei Xu and the others who were trapped in the encirclement were in a precarious situation.
Wei Xu's eyes were already bloodshot from killing, he was only focused on wielding his blade and advancing, he did not notice that he and his subordinates were already in a desperate situation.
Wei Xu slashed an enemy who was rushing over from the side. Taking the chance when he was retracting his blade, his personal guard commander quickly shouted: "General! General! We can't go any further, or we'll be in danger of complete annihilation! "
Wei Xu gasped for breath, he quickly regained his senses from the killing intent, he looked at his surroundings and immediately became flustered, the only people left beside him were his 50 to 60 subordinates, the rest had all fallen behind, the enemy army around him numbered more than 700 to 800! He turned his head, and could only see the forest of spears, he did not even know if General Gao Shun, who was behind him, had come to help or not.
"Go back!" Wei Xu clenched his teeth, and gave the order to retreat. If they continued to rush forward, not only would they not be able to save the people of General Gongsun, they would also be risking their lives too.
At this moment, Gao Shun's loud shout came from not too far away behind him, "General Wei, do not panic, I have come to help you!"
"Quick!" Kill and reunite with the General Gao! " Wei Xu was ecstatic, he quickly turned around and raised his blade as he rushed towards where Gao Shun was shouting.
