East of Lishui Pass, on a small path that was rarely visited by people, the younger brother of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Bao Zhong, led three thousand cavalry and infantry troops as they hurried along.
Although it was called 3,000, this 3,000 was nearly one-fifth of the supply camp.
The remaining four-fifths were mostly spearmen who were only wearing heart-protecting leather armor and holding wooden spears.
The truly elite troops were the eight hundred personal guard units of Bao Zhong's central army.
These personal guards were all wearing leather armor and heart-protecting armor. There were also dozens of fully armored generals.
Bao Zhong was pleased with himself.
Although Sun Jian was the vanguard, Bao Zhong had a deputy general who was very familiar with the routes around Luoyang.
"General, if we take this path, we can reach Mushui Pass three days earlier than Sun Jian!”
"When Sun Jian arrives at Mushui Pass and finds that the city pass is Lord Bao's flag, I'm afraid his eyeballs will pop out!”
The deputy general's words were interesting, and Bao Zhong was happy to hear them.
"Sun Jian, that bastard, thinks he's brave and has underestimated my big brother many times. This time, I'll steal his credit and see how he'll lose face!”
Bao Zhong and the deputy general didn't think much of Mushui Pass.
With an alliance army of 500,000, the general guarding Lishui Pass was probably scared out of his wits!
Bao Zhong had never fought against any headwinds, and he usually cleared out mountain bandits and raiders.
Every time, they would rely on their numbers and armor to disperse, easily killing the bandits.
In Bao Zhong's eyes, Mushui Pass was merely guarded by a group of bandits and raiders.
With him, Bao Zhong, around, how could he dare to not watch the wind?
……
Water Pass.
Pegasus reported.
"Lord Lieutenant, a large number of flags have been found ten miles outside the pass. The scouts have reported that there are about three thousand cavalry soldiers heading towards Lishui Pass!”
After receiving the notification, Dong Cheng began to prepare for battle.
The new " danger " notification function of the golden finger greatly increased Dong Cheng's confidence in defending Mushui Pass!
Bao Zhong?
Just like Sun Shiwan, Bao Sanqian was nothing.
A trashy general being chased by 500 Hwa Xiong Cavalry!
As expected.
It was as if fate was guiding them, or perhaps Hwa Xiong wanted to snatch the credit.
When he heard that the rebel alliance army was about to attack Mushui Pass, Hua Xiong immediately requested to come out of seclusion to fight.
"Lieutenant, Hwa Xiong is willing to lead 500 cavalrymen to kill the general and seize the flag!”
Hwa Xiong despised those who said that the three armies could demonstrate their martial arts and military strategies in front of the battle and that it could raise the morale of Mushui Pass!
Hua Xiong didn't agree with Li Su's idea at all.
There was only one quickest and simplest way to raise the morale of Mushui Pass.
Kill the general and seize the flag!
Killing the rebel alliance army that was attacking Lishui Pass was the correct way to raise the morale of Lishui Pass!
Hu Zhen and Li Su did not fight for it.
Hua Xiong was a cavalry, so he could naturally advance and retreat according to the situation and defeat the enemy with fewer troops.
Their soldiers were spearmen and archers. It was too risky to come out of seclusion to face the enemy. Moreover, the morale of the spearmen and archers was not high enough!
Zhao Cen was the same!
The Shield Battalion had never been a single unit.
"Commandant Hua is brave and is the barrier of Lishui Pass.”
"However, this time, the person who came is just an insignificant and nameless junior. There is no need for Commandant Hua to make a move.”
Hwa Xiong's request to fight was rejected by Dong Cheng.
This time, it was Bao Sanqian and Bao Zhong who came. It was just the right time for the Breaking Ranks Camp and the halberd warriors to show their faces and show off their might!
Hu Zhen and Li Su sneered.
To the two of them, if Dong Cheng wanted to lose face, the two of them were very much looking forward to it.
The more Dong Cheng behaved, the more Mushui Pass would rely on the two of them.
As for Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen, they were automatically ignored by Hu Zhen and Li Su.
"Lord Lieutenant is wise and mighty. The Breaking Ranks are fully armored. Wouldn't it be easy for them to deal with a mere 3,000 rebel alliance army?”
"We will be guarding the pass for the lieutenant!”
Zhao Cen wanted to dissuade him, but when he thought of what Dong Cheng had asked his personal guard Ah Cheng to say, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Hwa Xiong frowned, feeling a little unhappy with Dong Cheng's rejection.
However, even though he was unhappy, Hwa Xiong did not have the right to refute Dong Cheng.
It's at the water pass.
Even though Huaxiong, Hu Zhen, and Li Su had openly agreed to it but secretly disobeyed it, the real military order that involved the battle between the two armies was still led by Dong Cheng!
"Everyone, just wait for me to kill the enemy and seize the flag!”
Dong Cheng laughed out loud three times. In his laughter, he did not have any worry about Bao Zhong's attack!
The 300 heavy soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Battalion were the main attackers.
Three hundred lightly armored halberd warriors rushed forward to help, snatching weapons, armor, and horses.
A distance of ten miles was not considered too long.
A rapid march would not take much time.
Very quickly.
Bao Zhong's 3,000 cavalry troops were lined up at the foot of Lishui Pass.
A few burly men received Bao Zhong's orders and shouted at the Lishui Pass.
A moment later.
The temporary commander of the Breaking Ranks Camp and the halberd warriors, Ah Cheng, led the 300 Breaking Ranks Camp and 300 halberd warriors to open the gates and also formed a formation at Lishui Pass!
"Look at this group of crooks. They want to fight with 3,000 of us with 600 people!”
"There are probably not many people left in Mushui Pass. Although they are not watching the wind, they are almost there!”
Bao Zhong laughed, as if he had returned to the time when he was exterminating bandits.
With their numbers advantage, they crushed the bandits and raiders!
"In a while, we'll directly charge over with the entire army. First, we'll kill the leader, then we'll take care of these 600 people!”
"Pass down my order. Try your best to pierce the neck with the spear. Don't damage the armor!”
Bao Zhong had set his eyes on the three hundred full sets of armor from the Breaking Ranks Camp!
If they could capture all of them, the personal guard unit would be even stronger!
"The heavens are really helping me achieve great merit!"
