With an order, hundreds of powerful crossbows fired their crossbows at the same time, and a wave of violent arrows directly tore the front guard into pieces.
Hundreds of people died on the spot, and the guard's advance was halted.
"Keep rushing."
Yuan Hong shouted loudly, and the guards launched another charge. After all, although the crossbow was powerful, it did not last long, and they did not have a magical weapon like a repeating crossbow.
"The rear team is throwing javelins, and the front team is loading crossbows."
Even in the face of the surging guard troops, Gao Shun still didn't panic at all.
Three hundred one-and-a-half-meter-long javelins rushed out, swooping down like lightning, and nailed a guard soldier to the forest road.
"The rear team fills in the gaps and continues to move forward."
Although the forest road was filled with corpses of the Guardsmen and javelins as small as trees, the momentum of the Guardsmen remained unabated.
The guards were still greeted by javelins, flickering with the breath of death. The guards continued to charge forward, carrying the dead bodies.
"Front row of powerful crossbows, release."
After three waves of javelins, the crossbows trapped in the camp were finally assembled.
A wave of arrows once again tore the guard at the front into pieces.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The guards will be fearless and kill."
Although the guards suffered heavy casualties due to the methodical long-range attacks from the trapped camp, Yuan Hong was not intimidated by these. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, which is suitable for the current situation.
"kill."
"kill."
"kill."
All the guards roared together. They had always prided themselves on being Yuan Shu's personal guards. If they couldn't attack even a broken rear force, they wouldn't have the important task of protecting their lord.
The guards still charged fearlessly, using their flesh and blood and courage to resist Gao Shun's hard crossbows and javelins. Finally, they got what they wanted and rushed to the trapped camp.
"Fall into camp and move forward."
Facing the guards rushing in front of him, Gao Shun waved his spear and the trapped camp began to advance.
Compared to the iron armor trapped in the camp, the guards were only wearing iron armor, and their disadvantages became apparent at the slightest contact. They could not withstand a fight but were unable to defeat them. This was their true thinking now.
"Form up and hold on, the guards cannot retreat."
Yuan Hong looked at the guards who were trapped in the camp and forced to retreat, and couldn't help but roar loudly.
"No retreat."
"We are the Guards."
"It would be a shame to step back."
After hearing Yuan Hong's words, one of the guards burst out with crazy fighting spirit. They were guards and there was no room for retreat.
The crazy guards began to exert force, and the situation began to reverse. Under the combined efforts of the guards, the trapped camp began to retreat step by step, but this process was extremely slow.
"My lord, the guards encountered a powerful sniper attack from the enemy in the forest road and cannot advance forward for the time being."
Naturally, scouts reported the situation of the guards to Yuan Shu.
"Can't the guards push through? Logically speaking, Lu Bu's army should have been in chaos. This shouldn't be the case."
Xun You couldn't help but frowned when he heard the scout's words.
Although the guards did not experience many battles personally, their hard work gave them strong combat effectiveness. This was something Xun You could not erase, so the scout's words were difficult for him to accept.
"How is it impossible? Does the enemy you are sniping at have a full body of iron armor, a strong bow, a crossbow, a shield, and a powerful gun?"
After hearing the scout's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but flash the name "Trapped in the Camp" in his mind.
"My lord, do you know all this? Indeed, as you said, this army is extremely elite, and its combat skills and armor are first-rate."
The scout looked at Yuan Shu as if he was dumbfounded. He didn't understand how his lord knew.
"Lord, do you know them?"
Xun You was also stunned. He didn't know where Yuan Shu knew about it.
"Well, this army should be the trap camp trained by Lu Bu's general Gao Shun."
Yuan Shu nodded to Xun You.
"Trapped in the camp? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Because Xun You is basically in charge of Jizhou's intelligence now, but he really hasn't heard much about the situation in the camp.
"If the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is the strongest cavalry under Lu Bu, then the Zhen camp is the strongest among his infantry camp. This is the elite of the elite."
As Yuan Shu spoke, there was indeed a hint of yearning in his eyes.
"My lord, have you fallen in love with this powerful soldier under Lu Bu?"
Although he didn't know what being trapped in the camp meant, Xun You could see Yuan Shu's appreciation for being trapped in the camp.
"Well, I'm attracted to them."
Yuan Shu unabashedly expressed his love for the trapped camp.
"Then order Yuan Hong to postpone the attack, and order the advance troops to go around the mountains and forests to set up defenses in the southern part of the trapped camp. Gao Lan will lead the Weilu army to bypass Sheep Head Mountain to support Zilong. After Lu Bu is defeated, the rest will be easy.
.”
Xun You thought for a moment and made corresponding changes.
"Well, let's do it this way, Gao Lan and Ju Yi, follow the plan."
"promise,"
"promise."
Ju Yi and Gao Lan received the military order and immediately acted as ordered. The First Deng Army was divided into two teams and began to drill into the dense forest to carry out the work of bypassing. Gao Lan led the Weilu Army to retreat and temporarily stationed in the north of Yangtou Mountain, ready at any time.
Support the Guards.
"Captain Yuan, my lord has ordered us to postpone the attack."
Yuan Shu's military order was passed to the guards. Yuan Hong was stunned when he heard it, but he still chose to obey the general's order unconditionally.
"All guardsmen, retreat to defend."
"Here."
The guards were well-trained, and with Yuan Hong's order, even the most intense battles broke out in an instant and followed the large troops to retreat temporarily.
"General, they retreated."
The soldiers trapped in the camp were also stunned when they saw the changes in the guards.
"I don't know what their intentions are. The entire army is on alert."
No matter what Yuan Shu's plan is, as long as they retreat, it will be good news for him. After all, the enemy's fighting will is too strong, no less than that of his subordinates. If he continues to fight like this, all his 1,800 people will be killed.
Even if he explained it here, he might not be able to stop Yuan Shu.
The fighting in the rear army temporarily subsided, but the fighting in the south had just begun. As soon as Lu Bu's rear army rushed out of Sheep Head Mountain and had no time to form their formation, Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army launched an attack.
"Crossbow strike."
The army of more than 20,000 mounted eagles had more than 10,000 mounted crossbows, and they fired thousands of arrows. More than 2,000 of Lu Bu's infantry were shot to death before they could react, and the remaining 2,000 or so infantry were killed before they could react.
He was attacked by a wave of soldiers and suffered heavy casualties.
"Lord, the enemy Ying Yangjun is found ahead."
The scout immediately spread the news of Ying Yang's army to Lu Bu's ears.
"Ying Yangjun, you Yuan Gongli, you are going to kill them all."
When he heard that Ying Yang's army appeared in front of him, Lu Bu's anger almost reached his forehead. He had been on the battlefield all his life, but he didn't expect that he would suffer such a big setback against Yuan Shu.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Song Xian rode his horse to Lu Bu's side and looked at the exit with hesitation.
"What should I do? Of course I rushed out. Where is the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?"
