Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Arrows rained down at an angle and fell into the rushing crowd. Screams echoed in the silent night. Torches fell to the ground, and the faint light clearly illuminated the panicked figures of the people around.

"Enemy attack——"

"Don't panic, form a formation, form a formation!"

The sound of roaring rang out in the army, followed by shrill cries. Countless torches were lit and thrown out in all directions in an instant, and the rotating flames illuminated the panicked faces in the encirclement.

"kill--"

The black-armored soldiers who rushed out were wearing white robes, and the armor in their hands and their ferocious expressions were clearly visible. They raised their weapons and chopped them out fiercely. Similarly, those who were trying to fight back also stabbed at each other's figures with their swords and guns.

Waves of blood rolled and splashed in the darkness.

"Ahhh-"

The knife flashed in the firelight and fell on the person's body. Pieces of flesh and limbs fell from the person's body. The screaming figure fell down, and the warm blood spilled on the cold and hard ground, slowly flowing and gathering into a stream.

Zhang Qing reined in his frightened warhorse and turned around to look around. All around him was noisy and frenzied fighting. Heads flew up and fell in front of him, rolling in front of the horse in the dim light, with blood-stained blue faces facing him.

Zhang Qing has traveled all over the country relying on his mouth. Tonight he just thought he could gain military merit by attacking the military camp at night, but he didn't know he was ambushed on the way. He was already panicking, and looking at the head with eyes open in the dim firelight, he felt a chill rising from his tailbone. He shouted, "Someone come, someone come, protect me." He shook the reins and wanted to run, but the guards beside him quickly pulled his horse.

"General, don't panic. If you run away now, you will be easily targeted."

"General, be careful. The enemy situation is unknown at this time. It's dangerous to run around recklessly!"

Before Zhang Qing could say something else, the faces of the soldiers surrounding him suddenly changed. Someone pulled him off his horse and raised several shields above his head.

Whoosh whoosh—

Hundreds and thousands of arrows fell downwards, the sound of them passing through the air suddenly filled their ears, and crackling sounds rang above their heads.

Human figures were spreading out, and Chu Mingyu came running over on his warhorse. There were several arrows stuck in his armor, and he held a spear and a big sword in his hands to block the cold arrows shot from all directions.

"Where are the cavalry? Go to the front and clear the way. Charge out, charge out quickly!"

The shouting made Zhang Qing under the shield raise his eyebrows. He realized that there was nothing wrong and shouted loudly: "General Chu, over here, over here, I'm here."

Torches lit up in the darkness, and the faces of the people over there could be vaguely seen in the light. Chu Mingyu hurriedly rode over, and seeing Zhang Qing's embarrassed expression, he had no time to comfort him: "General, hurry up and mount your horse. Let's find an opportunity to kill them."

Zhang Qing was overjoyed. Chu Mingyu was promoted by Zhang Jue, and he knew his abilities. He was considered a good general in the army. He felt a little comforted with Chu Mingyu by his side. He quickly mounted his horse, and his personal guards came over to protect him.

More and more figures appeared around. The five people in front held their shields against their chests and dodged the moment they were approached. The Qi soldiers holding crossbows behind their shields pulled the trigger on their swords. Rows of crossbow arrows shot out and instantly knocked down the soldiers close to the periphery. The soldiers holding large shields quickly covered the back and continued to move forward.

Han Shizhong rode on his warhorse, using his steel spear to lift the enemy soldiers in front of him into the air: "Keep going forward, archers, don't stop, stop them here."

The soldiers who first arrived at the camp swarmed over, slashing forward with swords and spears. The initial panic of the intercepted troops had passed, and among the figures running all over the mountains and plains, the cavalry, led by fierce generals in the army, began to attack the Qi soldiers who were surrounding them from all directions.

……

Further away, a large number of cavalry were galloping across the plains.

The night was already deep. Wang De adjusted his breathing through his mouth and nose while riding on his warhorse. Wisps of white air dissipated into the air as the horse galloped.

Regarding tonight's attack, the four of them had their own judgment. Han Shizhong and Han Chang led mostly infantry, suitable for intercepting. He and Yang Zaixing were divided into two other directions. One was because they were worried that there were too many people and it would be bad if they were discovered by the enemy; the other was because they were worried that the enemy did not take the route that Han Shizhong and the others took. Distributing them in more directions would allow them to be more prepared.

"Light the torches!"

The voice from behind made Wang De change his mind and call for his military commander.

"Go tell General Yang that I will attack from the side. Let him lead his troops to attack from the rear!"

"Send someone to find General Han and Lieutenant Han Chang and tell them that our troops launched a siege after the charge. There shouldn't be many elite troops left on the other side. Try to kill as many of their remaining men as possible tonight."

"Here!"

The sound of shouting orders rang out amid the sound of horse hooves, and then several fast horses galloped out from the herd of war horses.

In the distance, tiny sparks of fire came into view, and the roaring sound was getting closer and closer.

"Prepare--"

……

The sound of horse hooves roared, and in the chaos I couldn't tell east, west, south, or north, and no one knew where the sound came from.

"kill--"

"Stop them!"

At the point where an arrow could be fired, the soldiers under the command of Han Shizhong and Han Chang shouted at the top of their lungs. Hundreds of archers, protected by large shields, drew their bows and drew their arrows. They raised their arms and aimed slightly. Then, an officer shouted, "Shoot!"

The Xi cavalry's charge was speeding up, and suddenly a rain of arrows rained down on their heads and faces. A scene of people and horses falling to the ground amid screams appeared in front of the shield formation. Aru stood in front of them with a golden hammer, silently listening to the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and then suddenly rushed forward, shouting: "Kill the Qi dog, follow me to break through--"

boom--

He was also very strong, and with the momentum of his warhorse, he knocked down the soldiers who were blocking his way. Under the flickering torches, the vision of the soldiers on both sides was shaking. He knocked down several people in succession, looked at the battle group fighting in front of him, dodged the arrows, and hit the top of the man's head with a hammer. Blood mixed with brain matter oozed out from the broken place, and his nostrils were full of the smell of rust.

"General Bai, where is the king?"

"The king is behind us, hurry to rescue him!"

In the midst of the fight, Bai Yanjing roared, then stabbed a few times with the spear in his hand, turned his horse's head, and shouted at Alu's retreating figure: "Follow General Alu, quickly!"

The warrior in front holding the long-handled golden gourd did not stop, but just roared along the way: "Those who are still alive, come closer to me, let's break out together!"

The voice was loud and clear. Countless Xi soldiers who were fighting like headless flies around listened to it, turned around, and began to follow the direction where the voice came from.

In the darkness of the night, arrows were shot from the hands of soldiers on both sides from time to time. There were entangled figures everywhere. The bloody smell in the air entered the lungs with the cold air. The kings of the Xi tribes riding on their war horses wiped the sweat from their faces, their faces ashen.

In his sight, while the soldiers on both sides were slashing with their swords, the Qi soldiers on the opposite side were also slashing and stabbing at this side with their swords and spears. Cao Mingji suppressed the unspeakable emotions in his heart and chopped the Qi soldiers who were rushing over to the ground, then secretly looked back at Xiao Gan.

Waves of blood rolled and splashed in the surrounding battle groups. Soldiers on horseback were shot down to the ground by powerful bows and crossbows from time to time, and the infantrymen were encroaching on a small area in the dark night.

"Don't panic, my king! Here comes A-Lu!"

Amid the countless shouts and sounds of fighting, the sound of galloping horses was heard from the rear. Xiao Gan's eyes lit up and he turned around to look. In the dim light, there was a surge of people, and countless people were running towards this side.

The sound of horse hooves stopped beside him. The general on horseback took a breath and bowed his head to Xiao Gan and said, "I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, another general came from behind and said, "Bai Yanjing came late to rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"This is not the time to talk about this." Xiao Gan was overjoyed, and quickly looked at the two generals and said, "The situation is urgent now, you two should lead the troops to break through, and return to Zunhua City first before talking to him."

The two generals responded quickly, stretched out their hands to pull the war horses, and the two horses pushed forward at the same time. Hundreds of surrounding cavalrymen followed the two generals and broke through.

Seeing this, Xiao Gan did not call the soldiers who were fighting, but just ran forward with his personal soldiers behind.

"Ahhh——" A shout was heard in front of him. The light of a knife flashed, and Cao Mingji chopped off the head of a Qi army swordsman. The knife was stuck in the opponent's shoulder blade, and his face was covered with blood.

"Hey--"

Amid the fanatical shouts, he pulled out the blade with difficulty, and another stream of hot blood splashed on his face. He did not shout out loud, but tried his best to kick away the figure that was rushing towards him. When he glanced back, he saw a figure riding a warhorse trying to break out.

"My king, wait for me!" Cao Mingji screamed and turned around and ran.

The other Xi soldiers beside him had been fighting for a while and were already on edge. When they heard his voice, they couldn't help but glance over.

The next moment, the Qi army on the opposite side rushed forward, slashing down with their swords, drawing cold rays of light in the firelight.

The soldiers who broke through the first line of defense were suddenly energized and rushed to the rear with a shout of "Kill!"

Boom boom boom——

The sound of horse hooves left the fighting figures behind. The two Xi generals running in front swung their long weapons fiercely. Several Qi soldiers were knocked away wherever they passed. The Qi soldiers who got the help happily joined in.

"Something is wrong!"

On the chaotic battlefield, fighting figures flashed everywhere. Bai Yanjing, who was on horseback, wiped the blood off his face and shouted loudly: "It seems to be the sound of horse hooves in front."

"Ah?" A'lu didn't hear clearly, and he hit the Qi soldier on the side with a hammer to death on the spot. When he reacted, his face changed: "Oh no, it's really cavalry!"

He turned around and shouted, "Quickly inform the king that there are enemy cavalry ahead, tell him to turn around, quickly--"

The cavalrymen behind pulled the reins and turned around.

However, it was a little late now. In the darkness, a roar suddenly arose, and a fire suddenly appeared in the night, illuminating the black-armored figure on the war horse. The swords and guns in their hands reflected orange light in the fire.

"General Bai, please go back and protect the king."

The warhorse rose and fell, Bai Yanjing turned his head to look at him, then nodded heavily, "Follow me, General!" The reins were turned, and the warhorse drew an arc and went backwards with some of the cavalry.

Retracting his gaze from the figure that was receding beside him, A-lu gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and help the king break out!"

The next moment, the horses' hooves began to move. The cavalrymen shouted "Oh, oh!" and whipped their horses hard, heading towards the figure rushing forward.

……

Under the night sky, the shouts and cries of killing were boiling in the wilderness. Soldiers who wanted to escape were killed on the spot, while others killed the soldiers who tried to stop them and ran away into the night. The two sides violently collided, fought, and ran on this land...

Yang Zaixing narrowed his eyes slightly. He rushed towards this side after receiving the message from Wang De. Attacking from behind might not be a big deal under normal circumstances, but under the current situation, it would be a tough battle. After all, the enemy was in a hurry to break through, and the enemy troops in the rear who wanted to withdraw would certainly fight desperately.

But this is exactly what he wanted. As a general close to Lu Bu, even half disciple and half son-in-law, the pressure on him is not something others can imagine.

He always rushed to the front in every battle, hoping to achieve a unique victory with the spear in his hand, which would also prove that his emperor had not made a mistake in choosing him.

"Prepare--"

The vision shook, and a figure rushing forward came into view. A spear was held in his hand, and the big hand twisted, and a rough touch came from the palm of his hand.

"kill!"

The cavalry in the front row drew their bows and drew their arrows, then let go and switched to spears. Arrows flew off the strings, and countless black shadows made a "buzzing" sound, and it was unclear where they were flying in the darkness.

"Yu——"

A'lu roared and raised his golden hammer to block the vital points. Some cavalrymen raised their shields, and then there were sounds of arrows piercing the shields. Several war horses were shot with arrows and their front hooves softened. The huge horses fell to the ground and some rolled forward. The knights on their backs just screamed "Ah!" and then there was no sound.

Yang Zaixing raised his golden tiger-head spear and rushed towards the familiar figure in front of him, roaring: "I am General Yang Zaixing of the Great Qi Dynasty. I will kill you, thief!"

Long spears were held in people's hands and tucked under their armpits. The ground shook more and more violently as the cavalry of both sides approached each other.

Then, the charging cavalry and long soldiers collided with armor and war horses.

boom--

The broken armor plates flew up, the sounds of broken gun barrels and bursting flesh continued, and the sounds of fighting formed a huge sound wave. The bodies of many cavalrymen drew an arc in the air and fell to the ground in the dark, and the sounds of broken bones and tendons rang out amid the roar.

"Drink-"

A'lu clenched his teeth, and used the long-handled golden gourd in his hand to block Yang Zaixing's tiger-head spear. His arms felt like they were catching stone locks weighing hundreds of pounds that were thrown into the air.

"You clowns, you dare to launch a night attack!"

Yang Zaixing pushed his arms forward, and pushed the raised golden hammer away with his spear. He shouted "Ha!" and suddenly retracted and extended the spear in his hand. A ray of light flashed from the spear tip and he stabbed towards the opposite side.

"Get out of my way!"

Alu gritted his teeth and shouted, pulling the reins hard, the warhorse stood up, the golden hammer was raised high, and with a roar, he smashed it down fiercely.

when--

The spear suddenly tilted and swung halfway, sparks jumped out from the collision of metals, and the golden hammer deflected in an instant.

Alu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw the opposing general's hand holding the gun move forward.

puff--

The spear pierced his chest. Yang Zaixing shouted "Go!" and swung his arms. The sturdy body of the Xi man was thrown away, and with a "bang", he knocked down a cavalryman in front of him.

"The enemy general is dead, kill——"

The blood is burning. (End of this chapter)
