Chapter 351 (1/2)

“Kill! Save General Yang Wu!” An army rushed towards the Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry. This sudden attack caused the Wolf Cavalry to become startled. On the other hand the Xiliang Cavalry regained their will to live and broke out with unprecedented strength.

“Reinforcements! The Left General has brought reinforcements!” Hu Che Er shouted loudly. Hu Che Er originally wore the armor of a general and should have been fighting the Wolf Cavalry but he knew that he was in a terrible condition thanks to Wei Yan and avoided a direct confrontation. The Wolf Cavalry also chose to fight against the stronger soldiers which was why a crippled like him was overlooked. This allowed Hu Che Er to survive.

They had seen the battle between Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu. Zhang Xiu’s defeat had caused the Xiliang Cavalry to collapse. Hu Che Er also believed that he would have died there because he was a Qiang and also a crippled.

However, the situation has changed. Reinforcements have arrived. This made Hu Che Er’s will to live spark again. He was a heroic general serving as the Deputy General of the Xiliang Cavalry under Zhang Xiu. He may have been demoted after losing seven thousand troops but he still had his prestige. He issued a call for action, causing the Xiliang Cavalry to fight back for survival. Their strength had increased by three times. The Wolf Cavalry was unable to react in time, allowing the Xiliang Cavalry to rush out of a gap.

“Stop them! Stop them! Wipe them out!” The Wolf Cavalry generals and their soldiers struggled hard but the battlefield was already too chaotic for them to chase the enemy.

“Kill!” With Hu Che Er as a gathering point, the number of Xiliang Cavalry soldiers around him grew as time pa.s.sed. About a thousand resentful troops followed him while the rest became difficult to help. A cavalry is more powerful when they grouped up. This was the only way they could show their strength.

“White Eared Soldiers! Kill!” The army carrying the name Liu had been so brave because they were the White Eared Soldiers. Their quality was on par with the Wolf Cavalry. With their presence, Liu Bei could continue to rise up again. The reason why Liu Bei brought the common people with him when running from city to city is because he wanted them to stop his enemy from chasing them while preserving the strength of his White Eared Soldiers.

Even amongst the White Eared Soldiers there are a few groups. There were also those that haven’t encountered a real battle before and then there were the veterans that knew that if they could not kill the enemy, they would be the ones dead. After killing plenty, they would finally become true elites. These true elites were all skilled warriors.

If the Wolf Cavalry was the King of Cavalries, the White Eared Soldiers would be the King of Infantries. The battle turned chaotic once the White Eared Soldiers joined the battle. The surrounded Xiliang Cavalry were now able to fight back again. The Wolf Cavalry used to be more powerful but after being ambushed, they now had less than two thousand five hundred men. That was half the number of the White Eared Soldiers. On top of that, they had already been fighting against the Xiliang Cavalry and had lost their momentum. This caused to them to be caught unprepared.

“Where is the Formation Breaker?” The Wolf Cavalry had suffered losses from the Xiliang Cavalry. Now, Lu Bu had encountered misfortune just as he was about to wipe out the Xiliang Cavalry. This made Lu Bu angry. Also, the Wolf Cavalry would not be able to hold out for long if they continue to be attacked from two sides.

“Gao Shun is here!” Gao Shun appeared from behind. Lu Bu had brought three thousand Wolf Cavalry to fight against three thousand of the Xiliang Cavalry. The remaining Xiliang Cavalry that belonged to Zhang Xiu were held back and then slowly wiped out by the Formation Breaker and the Taishan army. The Taishan Army was still clearing up the mess behind them but Gao Shun went over to Lu Bu’s side as he was worried. As they had worked together for a very long time, Lu Bu understood the operation methods of the Formation Breaker. Likewise, Gao Shun knew not to interrupt Lu Bu’s battle against Zhang Xiu. Now that Lu Bu called out for him, he quickly appeared.

“Formation Breaker! We fight to the death!” The Formation Breaker had ambushed seven thousand Xiliang Cavalry with five thousand men but only lost two hundred men. They did not suffer much losses and immediately joined the battle.

The Formation Breaker were also amongst the top of heavy infantries. They have also gone through more battles than the White Eared Soldiers. The things they have experienced was so much more compared to the White Eared Soldiers. Although not all of the five thousand soldiers in the Formation Breaker went through those experiences, they were trained by Gao Shun.

The two heavy infantries fought each other. This was not the first time they clashed against each other. The first time happened at Xuzhou but the ones that fought was only a small part of the White Eared Soldiers. At that time, Liu Bei’s main army had gone to fight against Yuan Shu. Although Liu Bei wanted to take revenge when he attacked Xuzhou, he did not want to become Cao Cao’s bullet and did not dispatch his troops. Cao Cao also did not mind as Liu Bei was his ally and had given him a good fighting situation.

It was finally time for the inevitable battle between the two heavy infantries. Both sides fought at their very best, knowing that death would await them the moment they drop their guards.
