"My lord, why did you come back? Didn't you want us to rush to Xinye?" Han Dang, who had been ordered to retreat to Xinye, collided with Sun Jian's troops, who were trying to break out of the encirclement.
"There's an ambush ahead. We're surrounded. Hurry up and rush back. We'll only have a chance of survival if we break through Chu Huan's pursuers.”
"What?" Han Dang was shocked when he heard this, but he could not think too much about it at this time. He could only shout to his subordinates around him," Men, charge back. There are ambushes in front of us. Only by charging back can we survive. Follow me and kill our way back!”
At this moment, the Jing State Navy had already arrived. When Han Dang's troops saw this, they immediately left the riverbank and ran faster than rabbits. Han Dang also dragged Sun Jian and ran, shouting as he ran," Quickly leave the riverbank. It's dangerous. Disperse!"”
Sun Jian and his subordinates were all confused. Before they could figure out what was going on, a shower of stones fell from the sky and smashed into the soldiers, causing them to fall.
Only then did everyone realize what was going on. They frantically ran away from the riverbank.
The navy took the opportunity to put down the army on the ship to surround Sun Jian's troops.
Gan Ning got off the boat and led the infantry that had already reached shore to attack Sun Jian's flank, as they were only carrying cavalry, javelins, and spearmen who had not yet crossed the river.
They could only use the cavalry as the vanguard to charge into the middle of the enemy, hoping to cut the enemy in half at the waist. With the javelins in the middle, the spearmen protected the two wings and pressed forward.
Cheng Pu, who was at the back, immediately gathered his troops to block. He organized the spearmen he could find to form a formation to resist the cavalry's charge. He used the sword-shield men to protect the two wings, and the archers to suppress them.
It was a pity that they were in a hurry to form a formation, so they were unable to form a tight formation and scale up. They could only rely on their fearless and desperate style of fighting to survive.
The cavalrymen in the front had already crashed into the spearmen formation. The cavalrymen and horses were pierced by several spears at the same time, but the powerful impact also sent the spearmen in the front row flying. The originally loose formation was broken through one by one.
The cavalrymen who followed closely stepped on the corpses of their companions and enemies and rushed in through the gap. They swept over the bodies like harvesting straws, and then they were shot down by the flying arrows.
"The cavalry bypassed the enemy's spear formation and attacked the enemy's swordsmen and shield-bearers from the flank, charging straight at the enemy's archers. Spearmen, charge forward and prepare to throw your guns. Target the enemy's spear formation…"
He paid close attention to the movements of the cavalrymen in front of him. When he realized that the cavalrymen who were the last to block his line of sight had circled around and revealed the enemy's spear formation, he shouted," 100 steps…90 steps…80 steps…throw!”
Spears pierced through the air.
The enemies who were trapped in the middle by the cavalrymen were instantly dealt a devastating blow. The javelins pierced through their bodies one after another. As long as they were stabbed, they would quickly lose their combat ability. The enemies who could still resist the charge of the cavalrymen were now falling in groups.
Cheng Pu's eyes were bloodshot as he watched the battle. The cavalrymen who had bypassed the spear formation had already begun a one-sided massacre of the sword-shield soldiers. Fortunately, the archers were still able to temporarily suppress the cavalrymen on the other side.
However, if this continued, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Just as he was about to change the formation, the sound of hooves could be heard from afar. Dust flew into the air as a larger group of cavalrymen galloped over. The large character "Cao" on the commander's flag was particularly eye-catching.
Gan Ning shook his head and sighed."This Cao Ren must've come at the right time to take credit. After the battle, we must have him treat us to a visit to the Verdant Pavilion!"”
.....
"Reporting, General, the enemy troops who were covering the front and the main force of the fleeing enemy troops have charged back.”
Taishi Ci, who was leading the sword and shield men in pursuit, was shocked when he heard the scout's words. Why did the enemies all run back? He might not be able to stop them with just a few people.
He calmed himself down and said to the scout horse," Go to the rear immediately and report this situation to the lord.”
"Stop advancing," he ordered,"and form a defensive formation. Brothers, the rebel soldiers have returned. The lord said that whoever gets Sun Jian will be rewarded with a hundred gold. A hundred gold! He could marry a lot of women! Brothers, you must work hard later. Don't let this cooked duck fly away!”
All the soldiers burst into laughter, their morale extremely high.
Taishi Ci's worries were slightly relieved when he saw this. Sun Jian's troops must have returned because the road ahead was blocked.
He was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, so he hoped that he could stop the enemy's desperate army!
Not long after the formation was formed, Sun Jian's army charged forward, led by Han Dang, who had called out his lord's name.
Humph! You came at the right time. Let me, Taishi Ci, teach you what etiquette is!
"Stabilize, everyone, stabilize! The gold is here, everyone must catch it!”
After relaxing his soldiers 'nerves and stabilizing their morale, Taishi Ci opened the bow that was specially forged by the number one blacksmith of Jingzhou, Ou Yegang.
"Han Dang, give me your life!"
"Whoosh!" A strong sound of air being torn rang in his ears, and Han Dang subconsciously raised his saber to the side.
"Clang!" The arrow grazed the blade and pierced through Han Dang's shoulder. The powerful inertia knocked him to the ground.
Sun Jian, who was following behind, saw Han Dang fall to the ground and rushed forward. He helped Han Dang up and shouted," Yi Gong!”
Han Dang covered the spot where he was shot and slowly sat up. He gritted his teeth and replied," I'm fine. It's just my shoulder. I won't die." My lord, be careful. There are sharpshooters in the enemy camp!”
"Men, take good care of General Han!" After Sun Jian finished speaking, he crouched down and followed the soldiers to charge toward the circular formation blocking the way.
One side was fighting to survive, while the other side was harvesting lives for the bounty.
When the battle reached its climax, the bloody and cruel battle scene had already calmed down the excitement of the bounty.
Taishi Ci couldn't help but feel anxious. Could he really block it?
