Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 520 Another fight

At nightfall, the south gate of Ji County opened again.

Under the cover of night, Black Bear rode on his dry horse along the road towards Fan Yang.

With him as the center, the area extending for more than twenty miles on both sides of the east and west is the range of pursuit and sweep by the puppet knights.

There can't possibly be people setting up tents and digging holes to survive in the wild in the middle of the night, right?

Anyone who is alive is a target for killing.

Everything was the same as last night. Yuan Xi, who had not slept at night, stood on the Fanyang city wall in armor.

What was different from last night was that there were several strong shield soldiers standing in front of him.

As midnight approached, the scouts were seen retreating across the board.

These are scouts who have already made tactical responses and are explicitly required to evacuate first after encountering the enemy.

Even so, they were still chased and attacked by the Guanzhong scout troops, and once they encountered them, it was often difficult to escape.

The reason why scout troops are elite is that in addition to training and experience, they also have greater battlefield autonomy.

They will not conscientiously carry out the stupid orders of their superiors, so compared to other types of soldiers, scouts can survive longer. There are a lot of veterans and they are older.

They have all been clearly instructed to preserve themselves as the first goal, but now they are being hunted and defeated, which already explains a lot.

The first is that the scouts in Guanzhong were more ferocious and their horses were faster. They were also very fanatical and rigid in executing this tactic with a high mortality rate. They did not care about their own safety at all, and they would not take good care of such good horses.

The second is that the influence of the Grand Marshal on the Guanzhong soldiers is indescribably high. With this desperate tactic, the losses of Guanzhong scouts are bound to be heavy.

But they were able to fight like this last night, and they are still able to fight like this tonight... This is just a clash of scouts. If they were to encounter the enemy in a field battle, with such an elite cavalry of three to five hundred riders who are fearless and brave and rush straight into their own camp, who could resist them?
Yuan Xi was thinking as he watched the circular outposts outside the city that had been built and repaired during the day being burned down one by one again.

Black Bear ordered Lu Bu to ride forward and throw another short spear. At this time, Black Bear noticed some movement behind him. He turned his head and saw dim figures in the distance, both of them were walking and leading horses, slowly coming towards him.

Three or four miles away, Black Bear couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion: "There are such heroes in Hebei?"

Over there, Lu Bu finished throwing his spear, threw a new declaration of war behind the city wall, and rode his horse back to Black Bear.

Seeing that Lu Bu's body was covered in blood, Black Bear raised his right hand and pulled backwards, and the puppet knight team that had expanded to 48 riders disappeared together.

When they reappeared, they were all dressed in a brand new look, wearing gilded Ming Guang armor, white robes, white tunics, and white goose feathers on the top of their helmets.

"assault!"

He shouted softly, and everyone had the same idea. Lu Bu took the lead, and the rest of the knights followed, dividing into three attack arrows.

After only five or six breaths, he crashed into the other crowd.

The other side had no time to mount their horses. In an instant, the men and horses were mixed together, and they were beaten dizzy and fell into chaos.

The puppet knights did not linger in the battle, but rigidly followed the charge order. After breaking through the enemy, they ran for more than a mile without encountering any new enemies. Then they formed a team and faced south, ready to launch another charge.

At this time, the other side also mounted their horses one after another, relying on the sense of security and confidence brought by the advantage in numbers, and pursued northward.

The two sides collided again and were entangled tightly.

As the black bear approached, a messenger on horseback could be heard shouting repeatedly from the periphery of the battle area: "The general has issued an order! Whoever captures and kills the black thief will be rewarded with a title of Marquis and a million gold coins!"

At this time, Black Bear turned his head to look at Fan Yang. Sure enough, the burning stronghold front line reflected signs of troop movements, and Yuan Xi also sent troops.

Without thinking, the hundreds of puppet Taoist soldiers around Black Bear rushed forward with maces, flails and long sticks, followed by three hundred ordinary Taoist soldiers holding spears and halberds. In terms of charging alone, the explosive power of the puppet Taoist soldiers is not much worse than that of war horses... In terms of endurance, they are much stronger than war horses.

This ambush cavalry carefully selected by Yuan suffered heavy losses in an instant, but they still fought to the death. Drums were beaten everywhere to supervise the battle, and trumpets sounded from time to time to gather the retreating knights again.

As the black bear approached, he looked around. If he saw obvious drum sounds or horn sounds anywhere, he would release Dian Wei.

Dian Wei, who has been upgraded to level seven, can leap down from mid-air every time, waving a pair of heavy hook halberds to immediately create a whirlwind of death, accompanied by broken limbs, blood, and wailing.

After killing a lot, Dian Wei disappeared immediately and appeared in another place where the sound was heard.

Having lost his command, Lu Bu fought only on instinct. The darkness concealed his killing efficiency and he was unable to create widespread panic.

Before being killed, every Yuan soldier was thinking about the huge reward of becoming a marquis and having millions of gold. Before they died, they did not see too many of their comrades die again.

After Dian Wei was deployed seven times in succession, there was no more sound of drums or horns in the entire battle area, only the neighing of horses, shouts of killing, and wailing.

The sound of weapons and armor colliding is very loud and sounds like noise. You can only hear it clearly if you are close to it. If you stand far away, it is just a chaotic noise.

Black Bear noticed that Lu Bu began to advance smoothly, and then Yuan’s army collapsed in the face of the silent, soundless and efficient killing of the puppet Taoist soldiers.

After five or six breaths, Black Bear recruited puppet soldiers and did not make any final attacks on the large number of wounded soldiers remaining in the battle area.

There is no need to arouse the collective indignation of Yuan’s army. There is really no need to be the bad guy. Killing these people does not give you any experience points, and you cannot gain any intangible resources such as luck.

Therefore, if it is possible to avoid killing, black bears will instinctively refuse to kill.

People cannot be refreshed and will not appear in large areas.

There are too few tools that are better than humans. If you want to change the world or do anything, human power is currently the most efficient force.

Although their accuracy, explosive power and endurance cannot compare with those of puppets, they are superior in number, endlessly and one after another.

As soon as we formed our battle formation, we heard someone shouting from the south: "Quick! The black thief has been caught, tonight is the night to kill him!"

The cavalry general on the opposite side rushed forward faster, and a large group of people holding torches were chasing behind him. Black Bear said nothing, and Lu Bu had already escaped from the battle on his own horse.

In just a dozen seconds, the cavalry general surrounded by a dozen knights was hacked to death by Lu Bu.

The knights, level 4 puppets, and ordinary puppets that charged behind them collided with each other.

The enemy's large marching column, with a large number of men, did not have time to deploy, and from the very start of the battle they were suppressed and killed by the puppet Taoist soldiers with their absolute advantage in some areas.

Black Bear also drove his horse closer and stopped when passing by the place where the cavalry general died. An accompanying puppet picked up the unextinguished torch on the ground, found the head wearing the golden helmet, wrapped it with the opponent's cloak, and hung it in front of the neck of Black Bear's horse.

The Fanyang garrison that came to reinforce the battle was defeated before they could even launch a counterattack. They were penetrated from beginning to end by Lu Bu and chased all the way to the north gate of Fanyang.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Yuan Xi gave a decisive order, and arrows with whistling arrows flew through the air. The defeated soldiers fled to both sides of the city gate. Black Bear also saw a large number of troops holding torches and marching slowly in the northwest direction of Fanyang City, and he guessed that they were advancing in formation.

Although there were not many torches in the east, it was hard to say whether there were any mobile Yuan troops.

Black Bear looked around, and felt the tenacity of the Yuan brothers and the stubbornness of the Hebei army, so he immediately turned his horse around and prepared to evacuate.

When fighting at night, there is no need to worry about the impact and you can use puppet soldiers without restraint.

But killing is not the goal. Once the goal is achieved, this unnecessary killing should be stopped.
