C149 (2/2)
Autumn is a harvest season. It is also a beautiful, magical and hopeful season. However, this autumn, they had reaped lives and killed hopes. Only the sparrows were not sad. No matter how cold the winter was, or how cruel the slaughter was, they were still flying in the air.
”Why are these damned crows following us all the time?”
A soldier of xanthopanax looked at the crows and cursed fiercely. Those Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves also knew that Crow was an unlucky fellow, no one wanted to see it. But no matter how they cursed, the crows would not abandon them. No matter how dense the Arrows s were, and no matter how loud the Generals s of the officials and armies were, the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves still rushed forward in the end. After all, the distance of a charge was too short. Three hundred steps was only three hundred steps. No matter how good a archer was, he would not be able to shoot six arrows in time. Thousands of Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves s fell, but even more Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves s had already arrived in front of the official army formation.
This was the price that the attacking side had to pay. If they wanted to break through the enemy's formation, they had to pass through the land of death which was three hundred steps away. Charging from all sides was unimaginable, and they could only attack one point, focus on breaking through and opening up the gap in the enemy's formation. As long as they engaged in a close combat with the enemy, reinforcements would continuously rush forward and rapidly increase the success of the battle, launching an all-out attack.
In a battle between cold weapons positions, besides terrain, formation, strategy, and morale, victory often depended on two factors. There were either elite soldiers or valiant generals. If both factors were used, the chances of victory were much higher.
The Imperial army walked the path of elite soldiers, the Court officers was well-equipped, trained, and trained. Although there were few of them, they were the elite of the hundred, with strong fighting capabilities. Unfortunately, the generals of the imperial army were mostly from Venerable families, with more than enough stratagem and courage. For people like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and the others, they had to completely rely on commanding others to fight, so they could not charge in.
They completely followed the law of nature, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. All the great generals and great generals were valiant warriors who had survived the disaster, and were brave enough to not block anything. However, the soldiers of the xanthopanax were uneven, they lacked training and their equipment was poor. Powerful generals were their core, and once a general lost or died in battle, his monkeys would immediately scatter.
”Kill …”
Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves who was rushing forward roared, brandishing his spear and rushed forward with his blade. The two armies of the imperial government and the xanthopanax finally clashed against each other. Like a surging wave, they charged onto the shore of the river, causing waves of splashes.
The one who led the xanthopanax to attack was none other than the great general Gao Sheng under Zhang Jiao's command, he held his great blade tightly in both of his hands and rushed forward to attack at the very front of the Yellow Scarves. Facing the thick shield of the army, he fiercely hacked down. The powerful brute force actually hacked down both the shield and the soldier holding it.
Gao Sheng, who had opened the gap, took a step forward and ruthlessly stepped on the shield. The soldier under the shield let out a wail, and without even looking at him, he slashed at the soldiers beside him. The soldier raised his saber to block, but was sent flying by Gao Sheng's saber and his men.
”Kill …”
Gao Sheng took the opportunity to grab a shield, and like a valiant lion, he charged fiercely into the court army. Two soldiers were sent flying by Gao Sheng's strike, and while the army was in a state of panic, he used his broadsword to slash and kill, and a dozen soldiers immediately fell to the ground.
”Kill …”
Thousands of soldiers of the xanthopanax shouted in unison as they bravely moved forward, waging a life and death battle with the heavily armed officers and soldiers. In a short period of time, the light from the blades blazed and blood and flesh flew in all directions. Screams and screams sounded out as limbs and limbs flew about in the air.
Gao Sheng's broadsword danced in the air, left and right, left and right, right and left. Those brave soldiers were momentarily confused, as they continued to be chopped down. Blood splashed all over Gao Sheng's face, almost blinding his eyes, but he didn't even have the chance to wipe his face.
Suddenly, a soldier who looked like a high-ranking officer came forward, the broadsword in his hands slashed down from the air, and Gao Sheng felt a gust of cold wind pressing against him. He instinctively raised his saber to block, but the force of the sabre was so great that Gao Sheng's arms went numb, and he took three steps back in shock.
”Die!”
Gao Sheng didn't dare block the blow, but continued chopping down. He didn't dare to take the blow head on, so he dodged twice in a row. When he saw the army approach again, Gao Sheng fell to the ground, the broadsword in his hand slicing towards the legs of the army. Surprised, the official jumped backwards. Gao Sheng leaped forward, the blade pointing towards the chest of the official.
”Whoosh.”
With a dull thud, a large hole was torn open in the officer's stomach. Intestines and stomachs all burst out in an instant, giving off a wave of heat. The officer hastily stretched out his left hand, catching his internal organs and stuffing it into his stomach.
”Humph!”
Gao Sheng snorted coldly, not giving him the time to clean up. He turned around and slashed with his saber, and the army did not forget to retreat as well. They did not expect their intestines to be chopped in half by Gao Sheng's sword.
”I'll fight it out with you!”
When the soldiers saw their intestines being chopped off, their eyes immediately turned red. Their eyes were filled with a murderous light, and they no longer cared about their intestines and stomachs, as they brandished their blades and charged towards Gao Sheng. But just as he took a step forward, Gao Sheng had already jumped right behind him and fiercely cut him in half.
Gao Sheng didn't expect that the upper part of the officer's body would strangely turn around, and the large blade even stabbed towards him, causing him to take a few steps back in shock. Just as the blade fell to the ground, his hands grabbed at his legs, not even closing his eyes.
