Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422: A Battle of Disparity
Suddenly, from the gaps between the four corners of the shields, extremely sharp spears pierced out.

Tens of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers fought desperately, and with only this little distance left, it was absolutely impossible for them to stop even if they wanted to.

"puff……"

"Pfft..."

"what……"

"help me……"

Wave after wave of Kwantung Army soldiers rushed forward and were pierced through by the spears. In an instant, the ground was covered with blood.

However, their weapons, whether they were chopped, hacked or stabbed, all fell on the extremely hard shield, and could not pose any threat to the Anmin Army at all.

At this moment, these iron boxes suddenly began to move forward actively. In addition to the spears, the shields surrounding them would occasionally open a "door" from different angles, and then several soldiers would flash out from inside, killing them unexpectedly. Every time they came out, they would take the lives of several Kwantung Army soldiers. When the Kwantung Army reacted and wanted to counterattack, the other side would flash back into the shield.

"Retreat, retreat quickly..."

The officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army were shocked and frightened, and they ordered their soldiers to run back.

However, those "iron boxes" moved very slowly and could not be caught up at all.

"Huh...huh..."

Seeing that they could not catch up, the Kwantung Army stopped and gasped.

Cui Jun, who was far away on the city wall of Hulao Pass, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.

He asked the people around him who were waving flags and beating drums to change the colors of the flags and the melodies of the drums.

The soldiers of the Shenji Camp, who had been hiding behind rows of "iron boxes", pulled the bowstrings like a full moon in just one breath.

When the soldiers of the Kwantung Army saw this scene, they were terrified.

"Oh no, it's a crossbow formation, retreat quickly!"

This is easy to say, but the fastest group of the army was only sixty or seventy steps away from the crossbow formation. The powerful bows equipped by the Shenji Camp had a killing range of over a hundred steps. Even if the Kwantung Army soldiers could fly, how could they escape in such a flash?

"put!"

Ye Xiang shouted loudly, and at the same time, he shot out his five-stone Broken Cloud Bow, directly killing a young general of the Kwantung Army who was rushing in the front.

Immediately afterwards, the Shenji Camp fired thousands of arrows in an overwhelming manner. The huge noise was so deafening that many Kwantung Army soldiers fainted, not to mention being hit.

The shield and spear formation of the Han Wu soldiers shrank instantly, leaving not even the slightest gap between the shields.

The arrows fell down at a high speed like locusts, followed by the sound of the arrows hitting the metal shields and the screams of the Kwantung Army soldiers, all mixed together.

The Han Wuzu shield formation slowly withdrew to the periphery. During this process, the shield formations slowly moved closer together. Not long after, a thick wall was formed on three sides. More than 10,000 Kwantung Army soldiers were trapped in the middle without time to escape.

More than 10,000 people were looking at the shield formations on three sides, the city wall of Hulao Pass on one side, and the crossbow formation in front of them had pulled the bowstrings. They were all terrified.

"Brothers, let's go all out. Retreating means death. We have to charge with all our might. There are only archers ahead. As long as we can get close to them, we will have a chance to survive!"

Some brave men in the Kwantung Army shouted loudly and mustered up their courage to rush out.

When the others heard this, they thought it made a lot of sense. Since there was no other way, they all rushed forward and tried to destroy the Shenji Camp in order to survive.

"Haha, Yuanqing, it's my Golden Sword Battalion's turn to take the field."

Zhang Yong, who was squatting and hiding in the Shenji Camp, suddenly stood up and patted Ye Xiang on the shoulder.

Ye Xiang seemed a little reluctant: "My Shen Jiying is also not weak in close combat."

"Haha, I know you are first-rate in both long-range and close-range combat, but the lord has his reasons for making such an arrangement."

Ye Xiang scratched his head: "That's all I said. Since the lord has issued a military order, how dare I disobey it?"

After he finished speaking, he asked the messenger beside him to blow the horn a few times, and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp retreated more than twenty steps in a short moment like the receding tide.

The Golden Sword Battalion that had been hiding behind them also completely revealed itself, with the golden swords shining with golden light pointed in unison against the sand on the ground to the lower left of each soldier.

When the Kwantung Army soldiers who were rushing over saw this situation, they slowed down their pace and jogged while trying to observe the strength of the troops in front of them. After all, the fighting power of the Anmin Army had frightened them too much after the repeated charges before.

Zhang Yong looked at them with no expression on his face.

"If you don't charge, then we will take the initiative to charge."

The messenger beside him gave an order, and the two rows of Golden Sword Battalion on the left and right walked out step by step, in an orderly and slow manner, shouting the Golden Sword Battalion's slogan with every step.

"When the golden sword comes out, men and horses are all shattered. Wherever the soldiers go, those who surrender will not be killed."

This scene and this golden sword shocked the Kwantung Army soldiers so much that they stopped immediately, and many of them even began to retreat.

"I just don't believe it. We both wield swords, how much stronger can you be? Prepare to die!"

Finally, some brave men could no longer tolerate such "cowardice" and brandished their weapons to kill. "Kill!"

Their weapons attacked towards the heads of the soldiers of the Golden Sword Camp, but the soldiers of the Golden Sword Camp did not dodge or evade, but their hands holding the golden swords suddenly trembled.

Everyone saw golden lights flashing before their eyes one after another. When they came to their senses, they found that the Kwantung Army soldiers who had rushed forward had all turned into corpses, and each of them had been split into two. Even many of the weapons in their hands were broken into two pieces.

Such a horrifying scene scared the remaining Kwantung Army soldiers out of their wits.

“Where the troops are, those who surrender will not be killed, those who surrender will not be killed!

The Golden Sword Battalion continued to advance step by step, while constantly shouting the same words.

Soon, someone couldn't stand this suffocating atmosphere anymore. He threw away his weapon, ran up, and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"I surrender, I surrender, spare my life..."

"I surrender too..."

In a short while, half of the more than 10,000 Kwantung Army soldiers surrendered.

"How dare you betray your lord!"

"Hurry up, I will chop down anyone who dares to surrender!"

Several people who looked like generals raised their swords and were about to chop at those who surrendered, but they heard a few "whoosh" sounds and sharp arrows shot out, killing those people on the spot.

As a result, the rest of the people who did not surrender also knelt down.

Zhang Yong ordered the messenger to blow the order to stop the attack, and then a group of people ran over and quickly tied up more than 10,000 people and took them back to Hulao Pass.

Immediately afterwards, the Han Wuzu changed their formation again. The shield formations were separated and divided into rows. From the left and right sides, they ran forward like the Purple Gold Dragon Riders.

The Shenji Battalion replaced their strong bows with strong crossbows, and together with the Jindao Battalion, they rushed forward with all their might in the middle open space surrounded by the Han Wuzu on both sides, following closely behind the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry. In this way, the Guandong Army had no chance of getting behind the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry or attacking from both sides.

The princes who were watching the battle from a distance were all in a panic.

"It's over. I didn't expect Liu He's army to be so powerful, a hundred times stronger than we expected. In the blink of an eye, they killed or captured more than 30,000 of our soldiers."

"Yes, leader, we are definitely no match for Liu He. We should withdraw our troops quickly and preserve our strength so that we can make a comeback."

Many princes began to persuade Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao's face was full of resentment, so how could he listen?
"No, if we retreat, wouldn't it be shameful? Since it's hard to break through the two wings, we should gather the army and confront Liu He's cavalry head-on. Even if we have to use a sea of ​​people to fill the gap, we must destroy this cavalry, otherwise there will be endless troubles. If we don't deal with him today when we are all gathered together, and he leads his army to defeat us one by one, how can we resist him?"

"This……"

Although everyone felt that this was hopeless, there was really nothing wrong with Yuan Shao's words, so everyone finally had to agree.

Soon, the Guandong Army also assembled 15,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry to block the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry.

"Rush over to me!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily, and the 75,000-strong army collided with the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry.

Zhang Liao looked at the army in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, good fellows! This bunch of rabble not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back. They are really brave."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced ahead, sneering: "You chicken and dog, follow me to break through the enemy formation!"

The 20,000 purple-gold dragon riders all howled with excitement. In their eyes, how could these armies in front of them be considered enemies? They were simply a book of merit.

"Haha, a bunch of guys who don't know their own strength dare to go against our army."

"Brothers, it's better to be careful. After all, the enemy has more people."

"Hey, Zhou Xuanwei, you are just too cautious. I, Qin Chu, am not in that mood. Let's kill a few of them first and teach them who is strong and who is weak. Then they will know that they should not be enemies with our lord."

"Qin Boqing, wait for me. Zhang Liao will come with you. Let's kill him!"

Zhang Liao and Qin Chu were on Guan Yu's left and right. The three of them took the lead and quickly rushed into the Guandong Army.

Immediately afterwards, other generals and 20,000 cavalrymen quickly collided and fought with the Kwantung Army.

This collision left Yuan Shao and other princes stunned.

The 20,000 purple-gold dragon riders actually defeated the 75,000-strong Kwantung Army in one fell swoop.

Not to mention generals like Guan Yu, even those ordinary cavalrymen, the scimitars in their hands were like the devil's soul-catching knives. Relying on the powerful impact force of the heavy armored cavalry, they almost didn't even need to swing them. They just lay in front of their horses and reaped the lives of batches of Kwantung Army soldiers.

Gao Shun, Zhang Yong and Ye Xiang were overjoyed when they saw the situation, and they commanded their troops to surround the Kwantung Army.

The Thunder God Riders and the Divine Tiger Riders, who had been charging into the chaotic army on the periphery, now also rushed over here.
