Taishi Ci returned to the camp victorious, but he was not happy. Although defeating Guan Hai in a one-on-one battle had successfully reduced their morale and increased the fighting spirit of our army. However, it did not have much effect on the huge difference in strength. He had to come up with a plan to weaken Guan Hai's army as soon as possible to completely restrain Guan Hai's main force. Taishi Ci pondered for a long time. He climbed the mountain and looked at Guan Hai's army's chaotic camp. There was no danger to defend. The lower camp was in a hurry. Only a thin wooden fence surrounded it. The defense was very weak. Night raid! Taishi Ci's heart skipped a beat. If Old Cheng was like Zhang Baiqi, Taishi Ci might not have a solution. Guan Hai was still a level lower than him. He did not have many strategies in his mind. Now that he was confident that his combat strength was far superior to his opponent's, he was careless and exposed flaws in his formation. Finally, Taishi Ci seized the opportunity!
That night, Taishi Ci seemed to be blessed by God. The sky was so dark that one could not even see their own fingers. Taishi Ci had carefully selected over a thousand warriors from his two divisions to sneak into Guan Hai's camp at the crowing of the rooster, preparing to launch a sneak attack. The two camps were less than three miles apart. Taishi Ci's army approached Guan Hai's camp in about an hour. It was late at night, the time when one's spirit was the weakest. Guan Hai had fought a great battle during the day and was extremely tired. He was already snoring and falling asleep.
The dozens of Yellow Turban guards guarding the entrance of the camp were already sleepy. They were sleeping in groups of three to five. Taishi Ci led his troops to the gate of the camp. He took out a strong bow from his back and once again used his divine archery skill. With the help of the faint lights in Guan Hai's camp, he was able to accurately find the throat of the guard and place the guard just right. After taking care of the dozens of guards at the gate of Guan Hai's camp one by one, the nearly 1,000 elites led by Taishi Ci quietly sneaked into Guan Hai's camp. They surrounded the Yellow Turban tents of hundreds of people in teams and suddenly launched an attack. He set fire to the sleeping Yellow Turban. The unprepared Yellow Turban instantly broke through nearly fifty tents and killed and injured nearly 5000 Yellow Turban soldiers!
The rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been awakened by the screams and shouts of killing panicked at first, but under the command of Guan Hai, the deputy general, and the personal guard camp, they gradually formed a formation and began to recover their combat strength. They counterattacked and surrounded Taishi Ci's troops. After killing everywhere, Taishi Ci saw that Guan Hai's army was about to surround him, so he calmly led his army back.
Of the thousand warriors of the second division who had participated in the sneak attack, only 100 had died. Guan Hai had nearly a hundred tents burned down, and nearly ten thousand soldiers had been killed or injured. Taishi Ci had won this battle. Although it was almost dawn when they returned to the camp, and the troops who had been fighting for a long time were a little tired, the soldiers guarding the camp all cheered and their morale soared to the peak. Guan Hai felt helpless again when he saw the mess in his camp. Taishi Ci was better than him in both martial arts and strategy. The Beihai Army had dealt him a heavy blow by sending Taishi Ci's troops. It was said that the elite troops of the Beihai Army that could contend with the elites of Western Liang had yet to appear. In the depths of Guan Hai's heart, the seed of failure and disappointment had been planted. He had fought dozens of battles in Qing Yan for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a cowardly battle.
But Guan Hai had a resolute personality, he wasn't someone who would admit defeat so easily. The next day, he reorganized his army and changed his fighting style. Dianqi's 30,000 men swarmed out, hoping to use their advantage in numbers to fight against Taishi Ci's bravery. They used the human wave tactic to continuously exhaust Taishi Ci's strength and finally finish him off. This was Guan Hai's usual tactic against the elite troops of the government army, and it had always been effective. Moreover, after so many years of fighting, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had followed him through hundreds of battles were no longer as fragile as before. Guan Hai was worthy of being called the most valiant and fierce general among the Yellow Turban soldiers. The next day, when he went into battle again, he was still in high spirits and did not lose the bearing and momentum of a local overlord. He led the personal guard camp's lieutenant Guo Yi and the main force of the personal guard camp to prepare to be the arrows of attack. They were actually in a desperate stance! Taishi Ci saw that the enemy was powerful and knew that Guan Hai was desperate. He quickly arranged the troops to set up defenses. He arranged a long spear unit on the first layer to defend, and prepared several sword shield soldiers on the second layer to be ready to receive or attack at any time. All the archers in the concentration camp were stationed near the camp gate to prepare to snipe and kill the enemy. He leaned against the camp gate and placed several strong bows and thousands of arrows in front of him. Two guards on his left and right held two large sets of arrows and stood beside him. It seemed that they were here to deliver arrows to Taishi Ci.
The charging Yellow Turban soldiers rushed towards Taishi Ci's camp like a tide. However, Taishi Ci had chosen an ingenious terrain where the opening of the camp was only a few feet long. There were only a few dozen soldiers who could charge forward side by side. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Taishi Ci and Guan Hai were far apart in terms of camp selection! If they had enough archers, they would be able to attack an army of hundreds of thousands in such a narrow area. The thousands of attacking teams that rushed into this narrow area were just a feast for the arrows.
The rest of Guan Hai's army was gathered a few hundred steps away from Taishi Ci's camp. Seeing this scene, Guan Hai's heart trembled. He was stunned for a moment and frowned. He quickly called his personal guard unit to watch the battle from the side and waved his hand to order the other unit to launch a probing attack. In an instant, thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers rushed towards Taishi Ci's camp, shouting and killing!
Taishi Ci smiled coldly. When the Yellow Turban soldiers were about 200 steps away from the camp gate, he slowly drew his strong bow. A sharp arrow whistle showed Taishi Ci's extraordinary divine archery ability. He was also the death god of Guan Hai's army. Soon, a miserable cry was heard. One of the charging Yellow Turban soldiers was shot in the head and fell to the ground, dead. The deadly arrow that was 200 steps away stunned the charging Yellow Turban soldiers! Taishi Ci's army was greatly boosted in morale, and they let out earth-shattering cheers! Guan Hai's army paused for a moment, then sped up their charge under the lead of the lieutenant. They wanted to pass through this death zone as soon as possible. After all, they knew that there were too few archers who could hurt people from 200 steps away. They could only reach Taishi Ci's camp safely by passing through as soon as possible! For a moment, the charging Yellow Turban soldiers were flying! It was as fast as a rabbit, and its speed was enough to shame the current 100m sprint athletes! He had advanced a hundred steps in a few dozen breaths!
However, after Taishi Ci shot the first arrow, with the help of two guards beside him, he shot one arrow after another like a stream of water. In the time when the Yellow Turban army was only 200 steps away from them, Taishi Ci had already snapped a strong bow and shot dozens of arrows, taking the lives of more than a hundred Yellow Turban soldiers. This was because at a distance of about 100 steps, the sharp arrows shot by Taishi Ci's strong bow could sometimes kill two or even three people at the same time! The name of Taishi Shenshe was indeed worthy of being a godly archer that would shine for generations to come.
When the charging Yellow Turban soldiers were about 100 steps away from Taishi Ci's camp after suffering more than a hundred casualties, Taishi Ci shouted,"”Hundreds of archers in the camp, whose blood was already boiling with excitement, released their arrows at the same time. Hundreds of sharp arrows flew towards the hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers charging at the front with a fierce sound. At this moment, these City Defense Army archers, who had only been trained for several months, were inspired by Taishi Ci's Divine Shot and performed beyond their usual standards. They shot arrows with full force. This rain of arrows instantly shot hundreds of people in the front of the Yellow Turban soldiers to the ground. In an instant, the Yellow Turban soldiers 100 steps away from Taishi Ci's camp were all killed or injured!
Even the Yellow Turban soldiers of Guan Hai's army, who had survived hundreds of battles, could not help but feel embarrassed by such a tragic scene! Guan Hai saw it clearly from afar. His heart ached, and he felt powerless against today's attack! However, Guan Hai was a powerful man, and even this could not shake his determination. He ordered the 5th Battalion to continue attacking, using a flood of attacks to break through Taishi Ci's bow and arrow defense. He also personally beat the drum to urge the army forward.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who had been urged to continue their charge shouted loudly, and the deadly arrow rain released by the archers of Taishi Ci's tribe successfully created a death zone a hundred paces away from the camp. A morning had passed. Guan Hai, who had lost nearly eight thousand Yellow Turban lives, finally could not bear the pressure of heavy casualties and ordered the army to retreat! Taishi Ci, who saw Guan Hai retreat, also sat on the ground dejectedly. There were no less than five broken bows in front of him, and more than a thousand arrows had been emptied. His right hand that pulled the bowstring was already stained with blood! Most of the hundreds of archers had lost their ability to continue fighting due to their injuries, and the arrow stones they had brought with them were almost exhausted! The difficulty of this battle had exceeded Taishi Ci's worst plans. If Guan Hai had been more ruthless, Taishi Ci's camp would have been invaded. Although Taishi Ci had arranged for the spearmen and sword-shield men to repel them, a bloody battle was inevitable. The casualties would have been unbearable. However, how could Guan Hai know that he was only a few thousand lives away from success? The bottomless hole of the arrow rain had already pushed Guan Hai to the limit. This was Guan Hai's first bitter battle in his life. Although he had fought countless battles in the four directions, he still felt terrified when he mentioned this.
Guan Hai was in a dilemma after withdrawing his troops. He could only defend his tent and think of a good plan. Taishi Ci, who had fought hard until he was almost exhausted, finally succeeded in restraining Guan Hai's main force.
