Although there were only three to four hundred men in the trebuchet unit, they roared with the momentum of thousands of troops, and then began to fight desperately against the enemies who rushed into the woods.
Spear after spear, steel knife after knife, they faced the enemy cavalry's steel knife directly without any hesitation.
When meeting on a narrow road, the brave will win. Sometimes courage alone is of no use. Facing the attack of hundreds of cavalry, although the trebuchet troops occupy favorable terrain, it is still difficult to withstand the impact of the enemy's cavalry.
Even so, they were still fearless and unafraid. Some even took the enemy off their horses when the steel sword came near, and they died together. In the end, they were still doomed by the enemy.
Just when the trebuchet troops were wiped out by the enemy, Yan Liang, Xu Rong and Zhang He also led the army to attack the chaotic enemy.
"kill."
"kill."
"kill."
Cries of killing resounded throughout the sky, and Yan Liang and his army finally came to kill them. The nearly 100,000-strong army was like a giant wave that was about to sweep everything away.
"I have them all, come back with me."
Seeing the enemy army approaching, Lu Bu and Cao Ren did not hesitate and chose to counterattack at the same time. Although they were covered with scars from the three waves of stone bullets just now, they could not retreat now, otherwise they would be crushed once Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses overran them.
The whole army collapsed.
"kill."
Lu Bu took the lead. Even in the middle of the night, the red rabbit horse rushed out like a red flame.
Behind Lu Bu were Cao Xing, Hou Cheng and Song Xian, all of whom took the lead and followed Lu Bu in the counterattack.
Cao Ren was not willing to be outdone. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Cao Ren followed closely behind them to attack Yan Liang's army.
Nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses from the two sides directly fought together. Although Lu Bu and the others were strong, it was difficult to show their power in such a dark night. They could only rely on the military qualities of their respective soldiers to engage in a fateful fight.
At this moment, a dark cloud came quietly and slowly covered the moon, as if the bright moon could not bear to see the bloody admiration that followed.
In terms of the level of elites, both sides were basically evenly matched, with the elites at the front and the auxiliary troops at the back. The fight was inextricable. For a time, the ground was full of corpses, and there were fights everywhere.
But as time went by, Lu Bu and the others found that it was not as easy as imagined for them to face the highly motivated Yuan Shujun, and instead they were somewhat suppressed by them.
"Where's Zhou Ping?
Where are the people?”
Seeing the unfavorable battle situation, Cao Ren couldn't help but look back. Now they could only hope for support from Zhou Ping who came from Dongcheng to break the battle situation.
The manic shouts of killing could be heard even in Dongcheng, which was far away.
"Sir, the killing has begun there."
Hearing the cry of killing, Li Yun came to Zhou Ping again.
"Don't worry, we're waiting."
Zhou Ping, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He had just started now, so there was no rush. He would wait until they had killed him for a while.
"But?"
Facing Zhou Ping's leisurely attitude, Li Yun was full of anxiety. He knew that there is a saying that time does not wait for me. If he misses the opportunity to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shu's army because of his delay, then once Lu Bu and Xi Zhicai withdraw and the enemy comes back, it will be dangerous.
It's still them.
"No but, let's rest for a while and then talk about it."
Zhou Ping shook his head. He wanted to wait until both sides were almost killed before attacking. This was the best time for him.
The two sides continued to fight, and the blood on the ground had gathered into a puddle, and even the shoe could not be lifted up once one stepped on it. Even so, the two sides still refused to give up an inch of ground, and tried their best to kill each other to pieces.
The time lasted until the fourth watch. During the first watch, the losses on both sides were in the tens of thousands, and there were corpses everywhere.
"Sir, it's the fourth watch."
Li Yun glanced at the sky and came to Zhou Ping's side again.
“It’s the fourth watch?
Send troops."
After hearing Li Yun's words, Zhou Ping took a look at the sky and realized that he had already killed more than a dozen people, so it was time to send out his own troops.
"promise."
Hearing Zhou Ping's words, Li Yun was overjoyed and went directly to convey the military order.
The long-lost gate of the East City slowly opened, the suspension bridge fell, and the 50,000-strong army lit up torches and rushed toward Yan Liang's camp like a fire dragon at night.
"Zhou Ping is coming out, follow me and charge forward."
"kill."
The sound from the direction of Dongcheng reached the ears of Cao Ren and Lu Bu. They knew that reinforcements had finally arrived, so they started to counterattack with their army.
"No, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived. Zhang He and Xu Rong, turn to me."
Hearing the shouts of killing coming from the direction of Dongcheng, Yan Liang, who was fighting, slashed the enemy in front of him with his sword, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
After hearing Yan Liang's words, Zhang He and Xu Rong each swept away the enemy and rode their horses towards Yan Liang's direction.
"what to do?"
When the two came to Yan Liang's side, each other's eyes were filled with anxiety.
"This battle cannot continue any longer. You lead the large forces to evacuate immediately, and I will lead the Polu army to break up the rear."
Yan Liang glanced at the two of them. If Dongcheng's soldiers and horses arrived, it would definitely affect the direction of the entire battlefield. They would probably be outnumbered, so the best way now is to cut off the rear with one person and evacuate the large forces.
"No, you are the commander in chief of the march, and I should be the one to take charge of the battle."
After hearing what Yan Liang said, Zhang He directly voted against it. There was no reason for Yan Liang, a general, to cut off the rear.
"No, you two are too famous. If you break up, it will be difficult to escape, so let me do it."
Xu Rong shook his head, Yan Liang's name was resounding throughout the Han Dynasty, and Zhang He, the general who established the loyalty, was also famous. Compared to the two of them, he was just an unknown surrendered general, so he was the most suitable candidate for succession.
"Stop talking nonsense. I am the marching general. Everything is subject to my orders. I will lead the Polu army to break up the rear, and that's it."
Although what both of them said was reasonable, Yan Liang simply couldn't do it for them to break up now, so now that he, the master, is the best thing to do.
"Zhang He obeys the order, general, be careful."
"Xu Rong obeys the order, general, be careful."
Now is the time when the break-up continues. No matter who is behind the break, the sooner they leave now, the greater their chance of safe escape. If this continues, no one will be able to leave.
"Well, you two should be careful."
Yan Liang clenched his fists at Zhang He and Xu Rong.
"Then please general, please gather your troops and we will stop them first."
Now that it has been decided that Yan Liang will be defeated, the next step is to buy time for the Polu army. Only if they successfully form a formation can they withstand the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of enemies.
"Where is the Polu army?"
"exist."
"exist."
"exist."
"You dare to follow me and protect the retreat of the large army."
Looking at the Polu soldiers who gathered behind him one by one, Yan Liang shouted loudly again.
"I would like to follow the general and end my reign."
"I would like to follow the general and end my reign."
"I would like to follow the general and end my reign."
Unyielding voices rang in Yan Liang's ears one by one, but Yan Liang had tears in his eyes at this moment. You must know that these elite soldiers have been following Yuan Shu since he started his career, but now they may all be destroyed in front of him.
,
These soldiers knew that if they stayed, they would risk their lives, but they still chose to obey the orders without hesitation. How could he not shed tears when facing these tough men?
"Formation."
Facing these soldiers, Yan Liang had nothing to say. Their sacrifice was for the survival of more Pao Ze, so it was worth it.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
Following Yan Liang's order, the soldiers of the Polu Army quickly gathered and formed a formation under the leadership of their respective team leaders, even in the dark night.
