The Night Raid Begins
"Da da!" Roughly seven miles away from Luoyang, two armies were running forward. One was running in front, occasionally shooting arrows at the rear, while the other was chasing behind. The one in front was riding a majestic warhorse, holding a halberd in his hand. His expression was proud and his eyes disdainful. This warhorse was extremely fast, and in a short while, it had already left the rear guards. He advanced alone, and every time he attacked with his halberd, an enemy would fall off the horse, wailing in pain, and then be trampled into meat paste by the rear troops. He died tragically on the spot.
In just a few miles, the three hundred Western Liang soldiers had already lost more than thirty men when they reached the place where Fan Chou's army stood. Almost all of them had been killed by Lu Bu's halberd!
Seeing Lu Bu leading the way, Fan Chou wanted to test the might of this peerless general. He rode forward and shouted," Are you Lu Bu?”
Lu Bu looked at the Western Liang army, who had been waiting for a long time, and his horse did not slow down. As he charged into the Western Liang army, he shouted," It's your grandfather, Lu Fengxian! Look at the halberd!"
Fan Chou had originally wanted to wait for Lu Bu to stop before fighting him. However, when Lu Bu saw that his army did not stop at all and was charging straight at him, he could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"Quick, stop that lunatic!" Fan Chou's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the side. With Lu Bu's speed, if he didn't control it well, he would die together with his horse. Was Lu Bu crazy?
Fan Chou no longer had the courage to challenge Lu Bu. He hurriedly spurred his horse forward and ran towards the back. As he spurred his horse, he loudly ordered," Everyone, retreat!”
It was not that the Western Liang soldiers were not afraid. Seeing Lu Bu charge at them, they had long lost the courage to fight. When they saw Fan Chou give the order, they turned their horses around in panic and ran for their lives, afraid that Lu Bu's halberd would touch them. If it touched them, they would die.
" Haha." The Western Liang army had started to retreat before Lu Bu even arrived. This made Lu Bu, who had always been conceited, laugh out loud. At the same time, he watched as the 1,000-man army followed behind him. Like a sharp arrow, they stabbed straight into the Western Liang army.
The waning moon covered the sky, the starry sky spread, and the halberd was waved. Blood sprayed, and wails filled the air. It was unparalleled!
With Lu Bu's actions, the Xi Liang army's fighting spirit was basically gone. The 3,000-strong army was suppressed by 1,000 of Lu Bu's personal soldiers and did not have the strength to fight back at all. Fan Chou sat on his horse and felt extremely aggrieved. He had originally set up a fake defeat, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The fake defeat had turned into a real defeat!
Fan Chou was also helpless. It was useless for him to issue orders. In the chaotic army, especially when it was related to the life and death of everyone, you were the emperor. At this moment, your words were not useful.
The only thing Fan Chou could do now was to run as fast as he could towards the Fu River, which was a few miles away. Once he reached the Fu River, he would set a fire and complete his mission.
Lu Bu was in high spirits as he attacked the enemy soldiers. He suggested to Lu Bu," General, the enemy was defeated so easily. I'm afraid there's a trap!"”
"Hmm?" When Lu Bu heard this, he glanced at the soldier, his eyes turning bloodshot." Who cares what kind of ambush they have. They can't trap me, Lu Bu. Don't worry about anything else. Just kill them!"”
"Yes!" The bodyguard agreed helplessly. He knew that once his general made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. He could only keep silent and kill the Western Liang army.
In the night, shouts, sounds of killing, neighing of horses, and wails intertwined. All kinds of torches, corpses, and broken limbs were casually thrown on the ground. The entire place was a living battlefield.
………
In the Ding Yuan camp, under the command of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, they treated the wounded in an orderly manner, put out the fire, and continued to strengthen the defensive measures. Ding Yuan went back to his tent to sleep when he saw that everything had stabilized.
However, Liu Xie was still feeling restless. He felt that something big was about to happen. At this moment, he was not in the mood to sleep. Therefore, under the company of Yue Yun and Luo Cheng, he casually walked around the camp.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the camp." The rear camp is on fire!”
"The Left Camp is also on fire!"
"The right camp is also on fire!"
Before Liu Xie and the others could react, the camp started to burn. A general-like person was giving orders loudly at the left camp. A powerful arrow was shot from afar.”Before the general could react, it had already pierced through the general's armor.
The general suddenly widened his eyes. His body gradually softened, and the whites of his eyes slowly appeared. At the last moment of his life, he used all his strength to shout," Enemy attack!"”
Before he could finish his sentence, thousands of arrows flew in from outside the main gate.”Almost at the same time, dozens of people in the camp were caught off guard and nailed to the ground by long arrows. Even until they died, they still didn't know who killed them.
The moment the arrow was shot towards Liu Xie, Yue Yun's sledgehammer was already brandished. Luo Cheng's spear was brandished in his hand, blocking the arrow from the sky for Liu Xie.
"Shieldbearers, come forward. Archers, shoot at each other. Cavalrymen, mount your horses and charge with me!”Zhang Liao was worthy of being one of the famous generals in history. He quickly figured out the enemy's motives and calmed down, giving the order to counterattack.
Being fearless in the face of danger was very important to a general, but being calm in the face of danger was even more important to a general!
Zhang Liao seemed to have both. He waved the Wolf Moon Wind Blade in his hand to block the arrows as he rode on the horse.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao had just led the army to prepare when a battle cry sounded from outside the main gate. A dark mass of figures rushed straight into the camp.
"Get ready to block the horse!" Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes at the charging cavalry and ordered.
"Whoosh!" At the same time, the hundreds of soldiers at the main gate stabbed their long spears into the ground. The sharp spears were aimed at the Western Liang army.
"Ahhhhh!" Because the timing of the horse's release was better, the Western Liang army that was galloping over did not have time to stop their horses. They could only watch as the warhorses rammed into the spears. The result was obvious. In the instant they charged, dozens of warhorses were pierced by the spears. The cavalrymen on the horses naturally fell off their horses and died under the hooves of the horses behind them.
Similarly, the huge impact of the warhorses broke the barricade or knocked it to the side. Therefore, the Western Liang army paid the price of dozens of horses to charge into the camp.
"Archers, release your arrows!" At some point, Gao Shun had also led his troops to the battlefield. Seeing the Western Liang army swarming over, he calmly ordered.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The power of a hundred arrows at such a close distance was unimaginable, not to mention that Gao Shun's troops were all trained by Gao Shun. Although they were not as powerful as the real Breaking Ranks in history, they were still extraordinary.
The rain of arrows claimed another hundred lives from the Western Liang army. However, the Western Liang army was outnumbered. When the soldiers at the front died, they were replaced by soldiers at the back. They continued to charge fearlessly.
" This is troublesome?!" Zhang Liao muttered as he looked at the Western Liang army swarming toward him.
