Chapter 87 Destruction
Yuan Shu was furious and shouted: "You are talking nonsense! Our army won consecutive battles and was in full swing, so how could we say that morale was low? Besides, our army had 200,000 people and the other side had only 60,000 troops. This time, it was like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. Our army would definitely defeat the enemy and attack Xuzhou in one battle!" Then he ignored General Yang's hard advice and insisted on ordering the army to fight.
In the camp, the sound of war drums rumbled, as if they were against the sound of Lu Bu's war drums! Then the camp gate opened wide, and the 200,000 Yuan Shu's army rushed out like a torrent of opening the gate! Facing the Lu Bu's army, the infantry was in the middle, and the cavalry was on both wings, making shouts, and the momentum was indeed majestic!
Yuan Shu continued to defeat Lu Bu's army. Seeing that the army had already formed a formation, he couldn't wait to issue an offensive order! Fifty thousand cavalry first attacked from both wings and rushed towards Lu Bu's army, and hit the defense line of Lu Bu's army like a tide. It was like a surging sea tide, and the huge impact sounded and the roars of soldiers on both sides and the loud sound of weapons colliding. The scene was thrilling.
At the same time, the Yuan Shu army's infantry formation slowly approached the Lu Bu army in one whole, like a city. The 150,000 infantry shouted, and the huge sound was deafening. Yuan Shu army reused the same technique, hoping to use this method to defeat the Lu Bu army in one fell swoop.
The sound of war drums in Lu Bu's army suddenly sounded loudly, and the front line suddenly opened. A general rode his horse to the front. The war horseman stood up and made a long neigh like a dragon roar! The general wore a pheasant tail golden crown, a kirin iron chain armor, a scarlet flower battle roar, and a fiery red rabbit horse under his crotch neighed and roared. The Fangtian Painted Rider in his hand reflected a dazzling cold light, covering the mountains and rivers, and was extremely powerful. It was Lu Bu, the leader of the Lu Bu army who took the horse personally! A thousand iron armored heavy cavalry lined behind him and was ready to go!
Yuan Shu's army was mostly stunned and couldn't help but stop.
At this time, the sound of war drums in Lu Bu's army turned into a storm-like frequency rumbling and thunder.
Ailang raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji and roared, and a thousand tiger cavalry also let out a roar, as if thunder suddenly appeared, shocking everyone!
Immediately, Lu Bu urged the Red Rabbit Horse to rush towards him like a ball of red flames. A thousand tiger cavalry also launched a charge at the same time. The earth gradually trembled, and a forward-looking Pang Jue momentum rushed towards him. The iron hooves stepped on the mountains and rivers, and the murderous aura soared into the sky! The thousand iron armored cavalry exuded a terrifying aura that was heart-pounding!
Yuan Shu came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Boardman ready!!"
Tens of thousands of crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows to aim at their opponents. Yuan Shu drew his sword and waved his sword forward, shouting, "Shoot the arrow!" Only a loud noise from Weng was heard, and countless arrows flew into the sky like a large dark cloud, covering the sun, and the earth was darkened! Then, arrows like this dark cloud turned into storms and rain, falling wildly into the middle of the tiger cavalry. The ground was instantly filled with feather arrows, and the crackling sound was like the sound of heavy rain hitting the banana leaves. It was the loud noise of dense arrows hitting the armor of the tiger cavalry, which was very amazing!
The huge and terrifying rain of arrows passed, and the tiger cavalry fell down dozens of cavalry, but the other cavalry still rushed towards Yuan Shu's army, and the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and the momentum seemed to be even more terrifying than before!
Yuan Shu couldn't help but be shocked and urgently ordered the crossbowmen to prepare. The crossbowmen hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and then sent a rain of arrows like a rain of heavy rain at the opponent! However, the opponent only fell down dozens of cavalry! At this time, the torrent of the iron cavalry had rushed in front of him, and the terrifying momentum made countless Yuan Shu officers and soldiers unable to help but take a step back!
The crossbowman had no time to send out the third wave of arrow rain, and saw the torrent of steel hitting fiercely above the Yuan Shu army's front! The huge impact sounded immediately into a shrill scream, and the shield player and long-selling player in front were instantly knocked away countless times!
The fierce tiger cavalry broke through the formation and rushed into the crowd, and the iron hooves kept hitting Yuan Shu's officers and soldiers, just like a harvester for harvesting wheat!
Yuan Shu's army was very moved, and Yuan Shu was shocked and ordered the army to counterattack. The Yuan Shu army howled and bravely stepped forward to try to stop the charge of the Tiger Cavalry. However, although Yuan Shu's army had many, without a rigorous battle formation, it could not stop the violent impact power of the Tiger Cavalry. The Yuan Shu army officers and soldiers who rushed up were knocked to the ground in succession, screaming and impact sounded! The tiger cavalry was moving forward among the crowd, and the corpses were blood-filled and chaotic wherever they passed!
At this moment, the large army of Lu Bu's army moved, and two cavalry of thousands of people went out to fight against the opponent's two wings. The main army rushed towards the Yuan Shu army like a torrent that broke through the dike. Yuan Shu's army was dizzy by the tiger cavalry led by Ailang himself. Suddenly, tens of thousands of troops came in, but they could not resist it. Seeing Lu Bu's army bravely forward, Yuan Shu's army was killed and the body was blood-stirring and retreated! Yuan Shu's army was in chaos and the entire army began to collapse!
Seeing that his army was defeated, Yuan Shu looked full of disbelief. In anxiety, he ordered the troops to fight to the death. However, the officers and soldiers who had already been devoured from fighting spirit did not listen to him and rushed straight to the camp! General Yang saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly ordered the guards to protect Yuan Shu and retreated into the camp. Lu Bu's army rushed straight to the front of the camp, killing Yuan Shu's corpses flowed all over the ground. Then the army took advantage of the situation to attack the camp, but General Yang encouraged the army to block the death. The fierce battle continued until sunset, and Ailang, who had already killed red-eyed, went to the front line to attack the enemy camp. The enemy relied on the camp and shot arrows desperately, and many officers and soldiers of Lu Bu were caught and fell to the ground. If Ailang had not been protected by a heavy iron armor, he would have reported to the King of Hell this time.
At this time, the golden bell that represented the retreating army came from the city gate tower. Ailang calmed down, cursed, and immediately led his army to stop the attack and retreat into Xuzhou.
The Yuan Shu army camp was silent at night. The Yuan Shu army officers and soldiers, who were already depressed due to the shortage of food and salary, were even more motivated at this moment. Everyone had no intention of fighting again and wanted to go back to their hometown. Some people were worried that they could not go back, so they couldn't help but cry, making the quiet night even more desolate.
In the big tent, Yuan Shu looked depressed. The defeat just now shattered all his ambitions and pride.
General Yang clasped his fists and said, "Lord, our army's morale is low, and the food and wages can be transported. We should retreat to Huai'an and Huaiyin and other places immediately before making plans." Yuan Shu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, retreat immediately! Send the order for the entire army to retreat!" General Yang said, "You can't just retreat like this, otherwise the enemy will cover up and kill us, and we will not be spared!"
