I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 781: Su Yao wins consecutive battles, while the Baibo gang loses miserably (5K4)

There was blood and rain on the Sushui River.

"Mom!"

"Monster, monster!"

"Don't come over, don't come over!!!"

Su Yao's sudden arrival threw the Baibo Army's navy into complete chaos.

On the swaying warship, Su Yao rode on his warhorse, moving flexibly on the narrow deck as if walking on flat ground. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and every trampling was accompanied by screams of the Baibo Army soldiers and splattering of blood.

Su Yao held the Mo Dao in his hand and swung it left and right, like a god of war descending to earth. No one could stop him wherever he went.

The sailors of the Baibo Army had originally tried to resist Su Yao's attack by relying on the geographical advantage, but at this moment they were completely at a loss.

They had never seen such a brave man, and they had never expected that there would be such a mythical scene in the world. The scene of Su Yao riding on the "Pegasus" and killing into their warships almost instantly destroyed their will.

This is definitely not the power of ordinary people.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Su Yao Army on the shore and on the ferry burst into thunderous cheers:

"The general is mighty!"

"Long live the General!"

"Kill all these traitors!"

Their voices surged like a tide, inspiring Su Yao to fight the enemy even more bravely.

Su Yao rushed left and right on the warship, and blood splattered everywhere as he swung his Mo Dao.

Each of his sword strikes was extremely precise and hit the enemy's vital points directly. The soldiers of the White Wave Army were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of him, unable to fight back at all.

"General Qu, it's bad! That great general is coming to kill us!"

On the Baibo Army's flagship, the soldiers were in a panic, and Cheng Yu was even more terrified.

Right before their eyes, Su Yao rode on his warhorse, sweeping through boatloads, killing his own subordinates until they cried for their parents.

None of the Baibo warriors on those boats were a match for Su Yao.

They were either easily beheaded by the huge Mo Dao, or their entire bodies were cut in half.

At first, facing Su Yao's advance, the soldiers on the warship would fight desperately. Although the entire ship was destroyed in the end, it would somewhat slow down Su Yao's advance.

But later on, due to the absolute power gap, every time Su Yao jumped onto a boat, the soldiers on that boat would jump off the boat and flee, and no one dared to resist.

As the commander of the Baibo Army Navy, Cheng Yu did not sit idly by in response to this situation.

At this critical moment, he immediately ordered the previously scattered warships to re-form a dense formation, and all the people fired a rain of arrows, vowing to shoot the flea-like Su Yao into a hedgehog.

"Master Qu is wise!"

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Shoot, shoot him to death!"

"I just don't believe it. With arrows raining down from all directions, can he still be invulnerable to swords and spears?"

Cheng Yu's subordinates responded one after another and attacked actively.

Warships approached Su Yao one after another, firing dense rain of arrows, trying to end the devil's killing in a long-range battle.

At the very least, you should slow down his pace, right?

Cheng Yu stared at Su Yao, who was standing at the bow of the ship, with a serious look.

Compared with his subordinates who had a positive attitude, Cheng Yu was not completely sure whether he could kill Su Yao in one fell swoop.

The reason is simple. Su Yao's shining armor has proved that ordinary long-range attacks cannot hurt him at all.

In this era, due to the limitations of craftsmanship and technology, the armor-piercing ability of bows and arrows is quite limited.

Unless it directly hits an unprotected area such as the face, its lethality to heavily armored soldiers is almost negligible.

Therefore, there are legends of brave generals who did not flinch even after being hit by dozens or hundreds of arrows.

That's not because he has the magical power of being invulnerable to swords and guns, but simply because of his excellent armor.

Cheng Yu was more or less one of the leaders of the Baibo Army. After participating in the looting of the Hedong arsenal, he had a clear understanding of the Han Army's equipment.

General Su Yao's dazzlingly bright equipment was obviously of extraordinary quality and could not be harmed by ordinary bows and arrows.

Instead of betting on the probability of hitting his eyes or knees, Cheng Yu's real target was the warhorse under Su Yao's crotch!
That amazing flying horse, which seemed like a reappearance of the legend, was completely unprotected and it was impossible for it to remain unscathed in the dense rain of arrows.

If the horse was shot dead, would the general be able to swim over in heavy armor?

A general in heavy armor would be dead if he fell into the turbulent water!
"Go to hell, go to hell!!!" Cheng Yu roared.

Closer, closer.

The dense rain of arrows was almost like a ball, impenetrable, and enveloped Su Yao from all directions.

"Well done!"

Su Yao at the bow chuckled and looked at the overwhelming rain of arrows, his eyes full of excitement.

He gently patted the neck of the warhorse under his crotch. The horse seemed to feel his master's determination. It let out a loud neigh and tensed its muscles, preparing for the coming attack.

Su Yao held the Mo Dao in his hand, lightly touched the ground with the tip of the knife, and squatted slightly, making a gesture of accumulating strength.

Just when the rain of arrows was about to hit him, Su Yao and his horse became one and soared into the air.

In mid-air, Su Yao leaned over his horse's back, brandishing his Mo Dao. The blade flashed like sword energy, forming an impenetrable barrier in the cone-shaped area in front of him.

Arrows came like raindrops, but were all deflected by Su Yao's superb swordsmanship. Some were even cut directly into two pieces by the sharp blade of the Mo Dao.

"what?!"

"How can this be?!"

Cheng Yu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Su Yao could wield the Mo Dao so flexibly in the air and block the dense rain of arrows one by one, as if he really possessed divine power. Not only was the rider himself unharmed, but the warhorse was not hurt at all in mid-air.

This scene stunned the soldiers of the Baibo Army, and their hearts were filled with fear and despair.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"What should we do, Commander Qu?!"

The close associates around Cheng Yu held their heads, at a loss, hoping that their boss could come up with a strategy to turn the tide.

However, looking at Su Yao's figure that was like a god descending from heaven, Cheng Yu trembled with his mouth but could not come up with a strategy to deal with it.

How could he, the commander of the Baibo Army, who commanded more than a hundred warships, be defeated by the general on horseback?

If Cheng Yu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, there was no way he would have believed it.

But now that we have met, there is undoubtedly only one thing to do:
"Run, run!"

"Everyone spread out!"

"Stay away from that monster!"

"Get back now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu turned around and ran, taking the lead in picking up the oars, shouting and yelling at everyone to row the boats and run away, no longer having any thoughts of resistance.

What the hell is this? This is no longer a normal battle - go home, I want to go home!

However, it's too late!

Previously, in order to surround and kill Su Yao, they fired dense arrows and drove the warships too close.

Now, under the might of Su Yao, the morale of the fleet collapsed, and it was difficult to turn around for a while, and it was difficult to disperse and distance themselves from each other.

So, Su Yao laughed loudly and launched a bloody massacre against these small boats that "raised the white flag" and fled in panic.

On the Sushui River, Su Yao was covered in blood, riding a warhorse, moving between the ships like a game of checkers, and soon reached Cheng Yu's flagship.

thump—

Under the golden sunlight, Su Yao descended from the sky, his Mo Dao flashing with cold light, pointing directly at Cheng Yu's throat, and galloping towards him on his horse.

Cheng Yu trembled all over, and fell to his knees on the deck with a plop:
"General, spare my life!"

"I was just confused for a moment and surrendered myself to the thief. I beg the general to spare my life and give me a chance to change my ways."

Cheng Yu's voice stopped abruptly.

Instead, there was a crisp cutting sound.

"Pfft!"

The Mo Dao swept across like lightning, and Cheng Yu's head soared into the sky, followed by a gushing out of blood, before falling to the ground with a plop, staining the deck of the flagship red.

Su Yao just glanced coldly at the headless corpse, as if he had done something insignificant. Only the beast under his crotch raised its neck and let out a long hiss, as if cheering for victory.
"Qu Shuai is dead! Qu Shuai was killed!"

"It's over, it's all over!"

"Please spare my life, General, please spare my life!"

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Baibo Army fell into even greater panic.

They were already afraid of Su Yao's bravery, and now seeing their leader Cheng Yu being killed with one sword, they were terrified and abandoned their boats and fled, their army in complete disarray.

In this way, the naval raid that the Baibo Army had high hopes for was crushed by him alone.

The scene of Su Yao alone, chasing after the defeated warships at full speed, greatly shocked the soldiers on both sides of the Sushui River.

"Mom."

"monster!"

"How to fight?"

"He's not a human being, he's not a human being at all!" On the other side of the river, all the Baibo soldiers who were watching the battle, including Hu Cai, were dumbfounded.

In contrast, the soldiers under Su Yao were in a carnival mood:

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is invincible!"

"Long live the General!"

Guan, Zhang and others stood at the bow, watching Su Yao display his prowess, and an unprecedented sense of ambition and passion surged in their hearts.

In this battle, the general completely destroyed the Baibo Army's navy by himself, which not only demonstrated his bravery and wisdom, but also made a good start for the war and won a big score by taking the lead.

"Landing, landing!"

"All troops will attack and wipe out the Baibo bandits on the shore in one fell swoop!"

Amid the excited voices of the crowd, Guan Yu brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, pointed at the Hu Cai army lined up on the shore, and gave the order for a general attack on behalf of Su Yao who was not present.

Immediately, the Han army ferry team that had arrived at the shore launched a beach landing.

Following Guan Yu's order, the Han army soldiers rushed to the river bank like a surging tide. They shouted, waved their weapons, and were full of momentum.

Although the Baibo Army had a large number of soldiers, their morale had fallen to the bottom due to Su Yao's previous heroic performance. Facing the Han army's overwhelming offensive, they seemed at a loss and their formation was in chaos.

"Hold on, everyone, hold on!" Hu Cai shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops.

However, at this moment, the soldiers of the Baibo Army were already in deep despair, their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

It was in this situation that the two teams officially started fighting.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!"

"Don't let them get close!"

Faced with the massive landing of the Han army and his own low morale, Hu Cai had no time to think too much and had to order his army to shoot arrows in an attempt to stop the Han army on the beach through long-range shooting.

However, as mentioned before, bows and arrows are not heavy firepower.

In order to ensure a smooth beach landing, Su Yao specifically concentrated the most elite and capable soldiers in the first batch of vanguards when forming the team.

Not only did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lead the charge, but every soldier was also wearing armor and well-equipped.

Arrows rained down on the Han army's vanguard, but they seemed so powerless in front of the elite Han soldiers.

The Han soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding shields, jumped off the ferry one by one with nimble steps.

They rushed to the beach under a hail of arrows and quickly formed themselves into tortoise-shell formations, standing firm in the rain of arrows.

"Charge, charge!"

"Drive all these lackeys of the imperial court into the river to feed the fish!"

Seeing that long-range attacks had little effect, Hu Cai had no choice but to order the entire army to charge.

Although he knew that the quality of his own troops was not an advantage, he knew even more clearly that he must not let the Han army easily occupy the beachhead.

Now, he can still rely on his huge numerical advantage to launch an attack.

If they delay for too long, by the time most of the Han army has crossed the river and even that devil-like general has arrived, they will really be hopeless.

I have to say that Hu Cai's judgment is very correct and rational.

But there are not many people who can be as calm as him.

Faced with his orders, many generals under Hu Cai hesitated.

This is the flaw of the bandits.

Coming from the wild forests, they did not have the morale and discipline of the regular army.

When the wind is in your favor, at most everyone will make some jokes while fighting for the spoils, but when the wind is against you, that becomes difficult.

The reason why the army is not in disarray now is because Hu Cai is relatively strict in managing the army.

However, this scene still caused Hu Cai's blood pressure to rise:
"What are you afraid of?!"

"That monster named Su didn't come again!"

"The people on the other side are just ordinary people like us, with one nose and two eyes."

"Everyone is wearing similar equipment, so why are you afraid to fight?"

"Now you don't even dare to charge at the thousands of Han soldiers who are not yet firmly established. Do you want to wait until they are all gathered, and then everyone can fight with swords and guns?!"

"Go ahead, hurry up!"

"If you don't obey military orders, believe it or not, I will chop you off right now!"

Under Hu Cai's threat, the Baibo Army soldiers finally launched the offensive reluctantly.

Brandishing swords and shields, they launched a hasty charge towards the Han army on the beach.

Frankly speaking, although their offensive was somewhat disorganized, lacking unified command and coordination, and somewhat of a separate operation, the Left Bank White Wave Army still had a huge advantage in numbers.

As long as hand-to-hand combat begins and everyone gets into a melee, they will still be able to exert considerable oppression and advantage over ordinary Han troops.

However, the group of people they faced were not ordinary Han troops.

"You, a bunch of country chickens and clay dogs, dare to call yourself a king in front of us?"

Guan Yu sneered, and swung the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand violently. A cold light flashed, and instantly cut off the sword of a Baibo Army soldier who was rushing in the front.

The soldier screamed, but before he could react, Guan Yu's blade had already swept across his neck, blood gushed out, and his body fell to the ground.

Guan Yu's attack, like a signal, instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the Han army. They shouted, waved their weapons, and launched a fierce charge towards the Baibo army.

Zhang Fei led the charge, wielding his Zhangba Snake Spear and charging at the enemy like a violent storm. Wherever his spear passed, the enemies fell down one after another, and no one dared to stop him.

"Kill!" The Han soldiers shouted and fought a desperate battle with the Baibo Army.

However, although the Baibo army was large in number, its morale was low and its equipment was uneven. Facing the attack of the elite Han army, they soon fell into chaos.

"Hold on, hold on!" Hu Cai was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect the Han army to be so strong. He shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to calm the army, but it was no use at this moment.

Under the fierce attack of the Han army, the Baibo soldiers retreated step by step and their formation was in chaos. They trampled on each other, cried and screamed, and completely lost the ability to resist.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy, leading their elite infantry and charging into the enemy formation like a tiger descending from a mountain. Their sword and spear skills were extremely sharp, and every strike was accompanied by the enemy's screams and splashes of blood.

Under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the Han army was in high spirits and fought bravely. They soon defeated the Baibo army and forced them to retreat in defeat.

"General Qu, retreat quickly! It will be too late if we don't leave now!" A trusted general shouted anxiously. He knew very well that if this continued, the Baibo Army would be wiped out.

When Hu Cai heard this, his heart was filled with resentment and anger. He widened his eyes and looked at the defeated soldiers, feeling an unprecedented despair in his heart.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Hu Cai finally made up his mind. He shouted loudly, "The whole army retreats, retreat!"

However, it was too late to retreat at this time. The Han army pursued the Baibo army and defeated them.

Hu Cai tried desperately to break out under the protection of his personal guards, but the encirclement of the Han army became tighter and tighter.

In the melee, Hu Cai could no longer tell east from west. After a lot of effort, he saw an area with fewer enemy troops in front of him, and led his personal soldiers to break out and escape from there.

However, when he rushed over, he found a black-faced man holding a snake spear standing in front of him.

"Ha ha!"

"You little thief has good eyesight, and he ran into your grandfather's hands."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and stabbed with his spear.

Hu Cai's heart tightened and he quickly swung his sword to block, but Zhang Fei's snake spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable.

"Whoaaah!"

Hu Cai roared and fought with Zhang Fei with all his might, but Zhang Fei was extremely strong and had great martial arts skills. After a few rounds, Hu Cai gradually lost his strength.

"Master Qu, be careful!"

Seeing this, the guards rushed forward, wanting to help Hu Cai.

However, the Han army soldiers came like a tide, and scattered the Baibo army's guards.

Hu Cai saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape in the chaos, but Zhang Fei sneered and stabbed Hu Cai's throat with the tip of his spear.

"what!"

This was a late attack, and Hu Cai was unable to dodge and was stabbed by Zhang Fei's spear, and blood gushed out.

Amid screams, Hu Cai stared with wide eyes at the clear blue sky. He could never have imagined that he would end up like this.

Then, Zhang Fei pulled out the snake spear, and Hu Cai's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground and died.

"Qu Shuai is dead! Qu Shuai was killed!"

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Baibo Army fell into despair.

For them, once Hu Cai died, the Baibo Army was leaderless and there was no chance of winning the battle.

"Run, run!"

The remaining Baibo soldiers dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

The Han army soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the deserters one by one.

Along the banks of the Sushui River, corpses were strewn all over the place and blood flowed like a river.

After the battle, the Baibo Army's land and sea forces guarding the river were almost completely wiped out, leaving only the swift cavalry and a few remnants to escape.

Some of them fled back to the camp and brought back the news of the tragic defeat, while more of them broke up on the spot, scattered in a hurry, and fled without a trace, never daring to come out to fight the Han army again.

In this battle, the Han army won a great victory.
