The Three Kingdoms – Conquer the World - C348

The moment the rain of arrows struck, the guards around Gongsun Zan all waved their weapons or raised their shields, blocking all the arrows flying towards Gongsun Zan.

However, there were too many arrows flying over. Gongsun Zan had brought light cavalry soldiers with him this time, under the rain of arrows, he was unable to dodge at all. However, most of the people’s skills were very far away from Gongsun Zan’s guards, and for a time, people were constantly being hit by the arrows. The miserable screams of the troops rose one after another, and a total of eight to nine hundred people fell to the rain of arrows.

Gongsun Zan shouted anxiously: “Charge over! Accelerate your charge! ”

The cavalry of Youzhou knew that the situation was critical. If they could not break out soon, they would be surrounded and killed! As a result, everyone worked hard and fought for the lead. They urged their warhorses to charge forward with all their might.

At this moment, the second wave of arrows came. As the distance was closer, the cavalry of Youzhou were once again focused on rushing forward, they did not make any defensive movements, and the number of casualties was even higher than before.

Gongsun Zan listened to the sounds of misery and fury in his heart. He had personally trained in these cavalry, they were his most trusted and highly regarded squads. When they fought with the Saibei Hu two years ago, the cavalry had made a great contribution after leaving the Great Wall. At that time, Gongsun Zan had only lost a total of three to four thousand people, but now, he had lost more than two thousand people in such a nameless place. Furthermore, he had no chance to fight back, so how could he not be enraged!

Seventh Brother endured the pain and shouted, “Master Hou, the enemy’s arrows are too powerful! Please retreat for now, I will lead my men to destroy the enemy’s archers!”

“How can this marquis hide in front of two armies like a turtle?!” Gongsun Zan bellowed, and used the greatest strength he could muster to shout at the surrounding soldiers: “My sons, do you remember what happened with Mu Ma Yuan?”

The stallion was originally located in the vicinity of Fishy Sun County. Back then, when Gongsun Zan attacked Wu Huan, he encountered an ambush from the great army of King Wu Huan of the Right North. The situation at that time was extremely critical. It was Gongsun Zan who had led a group of personal guards to take the lead and rushed towards Wu Yan’s khan level, disregarding everything else as they swept past and killed countless of the Dark Elegant Horse. The most recent situation was only a dozen steps away from Wu Yan. In the end, Wu Yan was forced to retreat out of fear, followed by his subordinates to kill him. Wu Yan and his subordinates who were originally hunters became their prey, and suffered heavy losses.

After the surrounding soldiers heard Gongsun Zan’s words and recalled how high and mighty he was back then, their originally depressed morale immediately rose once again. They all shouted out, “Marquis Jin will win for sure! Victory! ”

The passionate shouting shook the field, and it clearly reached Yuan Shu who was watching from the back. He muttered to himself in shock: “What did Gongsun Zan do? “He actually managed to boost our morale even under such circumstances!”

“Erlang, have you guys remembered Scoundrel Hai?” On the other side, Gongsun Zan asked loudly once again.

Two years ago, Gongsun Zan led a large army to attack Qiu Liju, and here, they accidentally bumped into Qiu Liju’s several tens of thousands of elite troops. At that time, Gongsun Zan’s army had gone through a long journey and attacked, using up most of their energy. Just when they were prepared to rest here, they unexpectedly encountered an enemy twice as strong as them, and could only drag their exhausted bodies and fight bravely.

As Qiu Liju occupied every nook and cranny of the world, Gongsun Zan’s side suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and was almost on the verge of collapsing. At this time, Gongsun Zan stood out once again. Using the same method he used to deal with Wu Yan, he brought hundreds of his personal guards and rushed towards Qiu Liju. Under the cover of the others, Gongsun Zan and the few hundred guards rushed forward violently, quickly arriving in front of Qiu Liju. Without waiting for Qiu Liju to recover from his shock, Gongsun Zan shot through the flagpole of Qiu Liju’s Khan’s large standard and then shouted in unison, “Qiu Liju is dead.” Those Wuhuan of Liaoxi’s cavalry soldiers were unaware of the situation. When they saw the commander fall, they thought that Qiu Liju had really died, causing their morale to plummet. They all turned around and fled the battlefield. Gongsun Zan chased him from the back with his group and chased him all the way to the vicinity of Liucheng. In that battle, they had killed the corpses of the Wuhuan of Liaodong and formed a river of blood, causing Qiu Liju to no longer dare to come out and fight in the wild. Instead, he relied on the walls of Liucheng.

Qiu Liju’s name and power were all much stronger than King Wu Huan of the Right North, not only did Gongsun Zan lead them to defeat Qiu Liju’s great army of trees, he also forcefully forced them to shrink the Liucheng, not daring to come out of the city to fight. How domineering was Qiu Liju! Only after that did Qiu Liju, Xianyu Yin and Xianyu Fu dare to lead their troops into the Great Wall, but they were unexpectedly killed by the Little Marquis Lord. When the cavalry of Youzhou heard Gongsun Zan mention Sang Zi Hai, they remembered the battle back then and Qiu Liju’s miserable ending afterwards. Their morale rose once again, and as they continued to shout ‘Marquis Jin is victorious’, they charged forward while facing the rain of arrows. They simply did not care about their own safety.

This was the second time Yuan Shu heard an excited shout from the enemy side. He could not help but shake his head and sigh: “Gongsun Zan’s army is indeed extraordinary, how about it?”

Yuan Shu had always been proud and arrogant, and had always been quite disdainful and disdainful of Gongsun Zan who came from a humble background. Now, he actually admitted on his own that his army was inferior to Gongsun Zan’s, which showed just how much of a shock his opponents had brought to him by shouting for thousands of cavalry of Youzhou!

Before the shouts of ‘Marquis Jin Ten Thousand Victory’ had died down, the cavalry of Youzhou had already charged thirty to forty steps forward while facing the rain of arrows, and was getting closer and closer to the Huainan Army’s camp of archers. Yuan Shu finally regained his senses from his shock and ordered the Lance Soldier and his Shield Soldiers to attack. He absolutely could not let Gongsun Zan destroy the archers’ camp.

Gongsun Zan raised his head to look at the position of the enemy archers in front of him, and shouted for the third time: “My sons, do you remember Tanhan Shan?”

Although the War of Tanhan Mount was led by Gongsun Xu, the The Steel Cavalry of Youzhou played a crucial role. Not only did he defeat the main forces of the Tuoba Tribe and the Yuwen tribe, he also killed the main leader of the opponents. Otherwise, why would the usually rebellious and unruly He Lian come rushing over with his great army, Xing Ye, to help Gongsun Zan the moment he received Gongsun Zan’s order?

It could be said that the War of Tanhan Mount was the most glorious battle that The Steel Cavalry of Youzhou had ever experienced, and its importance far surpassed that of defeating Wu Yan and Qiu Liju back then. All of the cavalry of Youzhou s present had followed Gongsun Zan to Tanhan Shan at that time, and each of them had contributed greatly to the event. Furthermore, when the citizens of the Youzhou knew of the War of Tanhan Mount’s result, they were all elated. It was as lively as a New Year celebration! After all, Tan Shihuai and the Xianbei People had caused too much harm to the people of the north side of the big sized man!

In the past, the citizens had avoided the Youzhou Army like tigers and tigers. After War of Tanhan Mount, many citizens had spontaneously entered the army camp to reward their troops. This was the first time such a situation had occurred since Gongsun Zan had ascended to the top. In the end, the effect was not bad. Most of the people in the army no longer bullied and bullied the citizens, and when they walked on the streets, most of them no longer received gazes filled with disgust and reverence. Instead, most of the warriors would worship and get close to each other, and many of the warriors easily found their wives, and didn’t even spend much money on them. In the past few months, there had even been a few thousand families that took the initiative to let their young and strong young join either Youzhou Army or White Horse Camp. This was completely unimaginable before this happened, as the main method of Gongsun Zan expanding his team in the past was to forcefully recruit them.

It could be said that all of these changes occurred only after the War of Tanhan Mount. Therefore, to the soldiers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army, the War of Tanhan Mount was a battle of honor, and was something they could be proud of for the rest of their lives! As a result, when they heard Gongsun Zan mentioning the Tanhan Shan, the already high morale of the cavalry of Youzhou immediately broke through the horizon, and the cries of ‘million Marquis Jin victories’ and ‘ten thousand Youzhou Army victories’ rang incessantly. Even though the rain of arrows never stopped, none of them dared to rush forward, fighting for the lead and rushing forward.

Gongsun Zan had already rushed to the front. With the shield in his left hand and the spear in his right hand, he sent all the flying arrows flying towards him into the air to block, and at the same time, he was able to kill the enemies in time. The Huainan Army soldiers blocking in front of him could not defend at all.

Seventh Brother and the rest followed closely behind, blocking all the incoming enemies, but they turned a deaf ear to the rain of arrows, protecting Gongsun Zan as he charged straight ahead. After every breath, some people would be hit by their arrows, but no one dared to retreat, as there were nearly a hundred guards protecting Gongsun Zan on both sides.

Because of his extreme anger, Yuan Shu’s entire face flushed red and his teeth clattered. He never thought that Gongsun Zan and his subordinates would actually be so fearless against death, and his own subordinates were so useless as well. Seeing that the enemy army was about to rush to the front of the archers’ camp, he could no longer hold back and waved his hand: “Let Wan-Sheng Camp and the three thousand people behind him attack, you must block the enemy army’s charge!”

The Wan-Sheng Camp had suffered heavy losses previously, and the main general was also severely injured. Yuan Shu believed that victory was within his grasp, so he did not allow the Wan-Sheng Camp to participate in the battle. Who would have thought that instead of retreating, cavalry of Youzhou would advance in such a desperate situation. Moreover, his morale was growing higher and higher, forcing the Huainan Army to retreat step by step, forcing Yuan Shu to use his last bit of troops.

Upon receiving Yuan Shu’s order, more than a thousand people swiftly split into two. The two squads led one thousand and five hundred walking soldier s each as they charged towards Gongsun Zan from two wings.
