C258 (1/2)
Unable to endure Zhang Fei's coaxing, Xun Yu and Xun You finally agreed to let Zhang Fei lead the third wave of Han troops to rob the West Gorge River. Calculating with his fingers, Zhao Yun and Cang Ba should have passed through the West Gorge River. In order to not let the Gaoguellian go and rescue them, An Ling Du had to attack forcefully.
Although the Gaoguellian's cavalry had left, there were still a large number of foot soldiers by the shore. Furthermore, the Gaoguellian knew that this was a feint, so they became more relaxed, and completely treated this battle as a drill. Unknowingly, over a million Arrows s had shot into the river. The Han army did not shoot much down, but the fish in the river suffered a great calamity, and a layer of fish with arrows floated on the surface of the river.
”Brothers, we're almost at the heart of the river. Let's paddle with all our might and rush over in one go.” Following Zhang Fei's shout, the third batch of wooden rafts quickly passed the center of the river. They did not float downstream like the first two batches, but instead pounced towards the river bank.
”Shoot!” ”We must not let the Han army get ashore.” With a wave of the Fifth Prince's large blade, over thirty thousand foot soldiers rushed towards the shore where Zhang Fei and the others were. It was only now that Gaoguellian realised that this was not a game, nor a feint. Those murderous Han soldiers were not fun at all.
What was even more frightening was that those Han Chinese were not afraid of Gaoguellian's Arrows at all. Their shields and armor shone brightly in the sunlight and hurt Gaoguellian's eyes. Especially the Chinese Arrows, they were even more powerful. Along with the whistling sound of the Arrows, rows and rows of unarmored Gaoguellian were nailed to the ground.
”Kill …”
Five thousand Korean Army Soldiers s jumped onto the river bank from the wooden raft while roaring. Since the Gaoguellian's cavalry had left, the Chinese army's resistance against horses was useless. With blades in one hand and shields in the other, the Korean Army Soldiers followed closely behind Zhang Fei and pounced towards the Gaoguellian who was on the riverbank.
”Kill ah …” I want you to drive the Chinese army into the river. ”
Seeing that the Han army was forcefully landing, Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy couldn't help but become anxious. He suddenly shouted loudly, urging all the soldiers under his command to rush forward. Those Gaogueli's apoplexy s were valiant, holding their hunting knife high, they rushed towards the Han army while shouting.
”Die!”
Zhang Fei roared out in rage, the long knife in his hand swept across, a dozen or so human heads floated in the air, and dozens of blood column shot up into the sky. Under the bright sunlight, it was as if a blood coloured waterfall fell from the sky, reflecting the red West Gorge River's water. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be blood-red.
The soldiers of both sides collided with each other, and a chaotic battle broke out along the riverbank. Everyone roared out with their mouths wide open, their hands desperately waving their weapons. Under the blade light, fresh blood continuously dripped into the water, and streams of blood flowed into the West Gorge River water, causing the entire river surface to be covered in red light.
One of the Korean Army Soldiers roared, the blade in his hand slashed out, causing the Gauzeli soldier that was within reach to immediately disappear, as his headless body spurted blood and fell into the dirty river. However, before the Korean Army Soldiers could celebrate his victory, another Gauzeli soldier appeared behind him. With a sinister look on his face, the hunting knife in his hand pierced into the Korean Army Soldiers's back fiercely, causing the Korean Army Soldiers to scream in pain. The Korean Army Soldiers turned around, and used his last bit of strength to flip the Gauzeli soldier over.
”Tiger Leaping Gorge emergency report... Tiger Leaping Gorge emergency report … ” Just as Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy was commanding the ferries to fight, a few cavalrymen suddenly rushed over. A herald rolled down from his horse, rolling and crawling until he kneeled in front of Fifth Prince, gasping for breath as he said, ”Prince … Your Highness, His Royal Highness, Tiger Leaping Gorge has been lost … The Han army has passed through the West Gorge River! ”
”Ah …” Fifth Prince felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. He grabbed the horse's mane and steadied himself. He looked up, his eyes filled with the figures of the Chinese army. He had no choice but to close his eyes tightly and ask angrily, ”How many people in the Han Army have passed through the Tiger Leaping Gorge? Where is Li Yi now? ”
”Reporting to the His Royal Highness, the Han army that crossed over the Tiger Leaping Gorge is about fifteen thousand people, and they are all cavalry. When we left, Commander Li Yi was in the middle of a huge battle with the Han army crossing the river. The herald looked at Fifth Prince and said carefully.
”Damn it!” Where did all these cavalry come from? ” Fifth Prince opened his eyes and watched the intense battle on the riverbank. Although the Gauzeli soldier had the advantage in numbers, the Han Chinese army was abnormally strong. He turned around and glanced at his Military Advisor Li Liang, his eyes filled with doubt.
”This …” Military Advisor Li Liang was also confused. He had always been following Fifth Prince in his wars, fighting with the Han Chinese army multiple times, retreating from the border to the West Gorge River. They were originally clear about the Han Chinese army's strength, but in just a few short days, how did they suddenly increase by so much?
”Reporting...” His Royal Highness, the first and second wave of Han troops have already climbed onto the riverbank. ” A herald ran over from afar and shouted loudly.
When Fifth Prince turned around, he saw that not far from the river, the first two waves of Han troops had already landed on the riverbank from two different places, and were currently fighting a great battle with the Gaoguellian who was chasing after them. Contrary to their previous caution, the Chinese Army fiercely fought with the Gauzeli soldier s.
”We've been tricked!”
