I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 607 It’s killing time!

"Ah this."

"May I ask how you plan to fight?"

Lu Bu suddenly had a very subtle sense of déjà vu regarding Su Yao's bold words.

Sure enough, Su Yao said:

"Of course we should send out the entire army and send them off in one go!"

"All-out military attack?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Wen Pin and others were all shocked.

They never expected that Su Yao would make such a bold decision.

They even overturned the previous plan of staying behind and mobilized everyone, leaving only two or three hundred people and civilian staff such as Wang Ling to maintain order at the dock.

"My Lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

After receiving the order, Jia Xu hurried over to persuade him:

"Since the enemy has set up an ambush, they must have been prepared."

"It would be fine if we didn't fight back, but how can we take the initiative to fall into the enemy's trap?"

"Even if we have to take advantage of the situation, we should still keep some tricks in case of unexpected events, right?"

"That's right, my lord."

Wen Pin was also worried:

"We should still act cautiously and find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses before making any plans."

Su Yao waved his hand, with a confident smile on his face:

"I have made up my mind. Don't worry, we will fight this battle this way."

Su Yao ignored the opposition and issued a series of military orders to mobilize the army for action.

Just like that, when Meng Fang led his army with torches and marched in a long line along the road, before reaching the ferry terminal, a more ferocious fire dragon from Su Yao's side rushed out of the camp and headed towards them.

At this moment, Meng Fang's troops suddenly became panic-stricken.

However, compared to those ignorant soldiers, generals such as Meng Fang were not afraid but happy, and were filled with emotion.

"Good fellow, Xu Zhonglang really has a plan that is perfect. This traitor Su Yao is a man who will not suffer any loss."

"I haven't even provoked him yet, but he rushed out in a hurry."

"Why, you really think we are inferior to you, don't you?"

When Meng Fang saw Su Yao's army coming, he smiled coldly.

"Meng Junhou is right."

The other officers were also smiling:

"This traitor Su Yao is so arrogant and conceited."

"But he doesn't know that we are no longer in the daytime."

"This time, I must let him see how hard I've been waiting!"

Everyone was talking at once. It was obviously just a bait, but each one of them boasted more powerfully than the other, as if they were the main force in the decisive battle.

However, compared to their words, their bodies are more honest.

Before Su Yao's long dragon with torches came close, they had already begun to slow down secretly, ready to turn around and run away at any time.

However, the result surprised them.

"Um???"

"Divided the troops?"

"Where are they going?"

In the thick darkness of the night, right in front of the two armies, a team of what were obviously cavalry in Su Yao's camp suddenly broke away from the main camp at high speed and headed westward.

"Not good!"

"Sima Qin, the rebel cavalry seems to be coming towards us!"

——"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Our troops are hiding in the darkness, who can find them?"

"How can you be so startled?!"

Under the moonlight, the two people who were talking were Qin Sima and his deputy general, who were ordered to lead two thousand infantry and cavalry to quietly circle around and prepare for a surprise attack on the ferry.

The night was dim, and in order to stay hidden, they did not light torches the whole time, but marched carefully by the moonlight.

It can be said without exaggeration that, at this moment, the exact location of their army is unclear, not to mention General Xu Rong, even Sima Qin himself cannot figure out the exact location.

He could only rely on the darkness and the lights of the ferry dock to know his destination.

In this situation, how could the traitor Su Yao come after him?
"It's just a coincidence."

Qin Sima said in a relaxed tone:
"This rebel must be looking to take advantage of the situation, so he ordered the cavalry to go around and attack Meng Junhou and his men from the side."

"We don't need to worry about the life or death of the bait, just head towards the ferry."

"It's really hard to travel at night. Everyone, cheer up and don't fall behind!"

When the deputy general heard this, he realized that it was indeed true. He chuckled twice to ease the embarrassment, then fell silent again and continued to move forward with the team.

He only looked back occasionally to see the battle situation ahead and the isolated knight.

Although they called him a traitor, the reputation of the champion Hou Su Yao had already been secretly implanted in their hearts.

Now, he had no choice but to be careful.

As time passed, his worries soon turned into anxiety and panic:

"That's not right, Qin Sima."

"Look, look quickly."

"It seems to me that they are heading straight towards us."

"How is this possible?" As he spoke, Sima Qin suddenly looked back and saw that in the night, the cavalry team not only did not slow down, but was getting closer and closer, as if they were really coming towards them.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Qin Sima muttered to himself, trying to convince himself that this was just a ridiculous coincidence.

However, the reality is becoming increasingly cruel.

Even if he intentionally gave orders and adjusted his position in an attempt to avoid the route of the uninvited guest.

However, the team of knights with torches still came towards them firmly.

Qin Sima's brain short-circuited for a moment. He looked left and right, but couldn't find any place in the team's march that would expose their position.

However, it was as if something in the dark illuminated them and guided the enemy's direction.

Compared to Qin Sima's relatively steady performance, his deputy general was obviously frightened by this strange scene:

"No, no, no, no."

"They are coming. They are coming."

"What should we do, Qin Sima, what should we do? Give the order quickly!"

The generals were terrified.

Although they didn't understand the situation, there was no doubt that if they continued to do nothing, the end result would be that the enemies would rush into their faces and be hacked and slaughtered crazily.

Qin Sima also saw this scene.

"We must not sit still and wait for death!"

Qin Sima took a deep breath and immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle:

"Tell everyone to keep calm—there's no way we can be discovered."

"The rebels have only 500 to 600 cavalrymen. I don't know what they are going to do, but we have 2,000 men. We are the enemy in the open while ours is in the dark. If we meet in a narrow road now, our army will surely win!"

Qin Sima's voice sounded particularly steady in the night. He calmed the troops and responded calmly:

"All troops, listen up and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"All cavalry mount their horses, spread out on both wings, and prepare to outflank."

"The infantry will line up in front, and the archers will be ready in the back. Once they are within range, they will release their arrows immediately without any instructions."

"Everyone must show their strength and wipe out these ignorant bandits in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy general quickly conveyed the order. Although the soldiers were nervous, they quickly acted according to the instructions and formed a simple defensive formation in a hurry.

Under the cover of the thick night, their recent panic subsided a little.

It is impossible to be discovered. They have the advantage of the first move. As long as this round of arrows is shot, at least half of the thieves and cavalry will be killed.

If he was lucky, the Champion Marquis might even die from these arrows.

No problem, we can win!
The junior officers tried their best to boost morale, preparing for a decisive battle as they watched the knights approaching.

Closer, closer.

The knights with torches were getting closer and closer, and were already three hundred steps away. One could even see their red robes under the firelight.

"Archers prepare!"

Following the officers' orders, the crossbowmen drew their bowstrings to their full extent, aiming directly at the enemy cavalry who were about to step into the land of death.

The air was filled with tension and oppression, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, Qin Sima had already seen the scene of arrows flying like locusts and the bandits falling one after another.

Great achievement, great achievement!

however!
Who would have thought that just when everyone was holding their breath and tensing their nerves and bowstrings, the knights in front of them disappeared.
"what?!"

Sima Qin exclaimed, and even the army was in a slight commotion.

"what happened?"

The deputy general's voice trembled:
"Where are the bandits?!"

They reacted quickly.

Su Yao's knights did not disappear, but extinguished their torches almost at the same time while galloping, and disappeared into the darkness like them.

The night was as dark as ink, swallowing up everything. The cavalry seemed to blend into the endless darkness and disappeared without a trace. Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard as they gradually faded away.
Sima Qin and his deputy general looked at each other, feeling an indescribable fear and uneasiness in their hearts.

"This...how is this possible?"

Qin Sima murmured to himself. He couldn't understand why the enemy could hide so accurately in such a short time.

This was beyond his imagination and overturned his tactical layout.

"Do they have special night-fighting skills?"

There was a slight tremor in the deputy general's voice, and he realized that this battle was far more complicated and difficult than he had imagined.

"Such an elite force is truly terrifying."

Qin Sima nodded, but his expression became relaxed:
"But let's leave this trouble to others to solve, and let's focus on our own tasks."

"I said there's no way we could be exposed."

The bandits left, the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the tense atmosphere finally eased. Qin Sima gave the order and the army continued to move towards the ferry.

And that's when.

Just as their army disbanded their formation and set out again, suddenly, a piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by a shrill scream, breaking the tranquility of the night and their fantasy of peace.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The soldier looked at the officer lying on top of him with an arrow piercing his eye socket, and shouted at the top of his voice.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves that had disappeared before rang out again, like a devilish sound urging for death, coming from far away and approaching in an instant.

"It's time to kill!"

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Under the moonlight, Su Yao drew his bow and shot an arrow as swift as the wind.
