"Soldiers, listen up. Liu Bei is right in front of you. Take down Liu Bei and I will claim credit for you in front of His Highness King of Han. I, Zhang Yun, will also take out five thousand gold as a reward!" Zhang Yun was really willing to spend money.
Even if he could not get a reward from Liu Mang, it was worth it.
Five thousand Gold Coins was enough to make one a millionaire.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Although Jiangdong's Chu Army had strict military rules, they were also Sun Ce's elite troops. Their military discipline was also very good. But when it came to rewards, their eyes turned red.
It was not unattainable. The five thousand gold was right in front of them. As long as they could take down Liu Bei, glory and wealth would be at their fingertips.
"Hold on, hold on!" Liao Hua was also supervising the battle. Even Liu Bei himself was on the battlefield.
Although their numbers were fewer than Zhang Yun's men, their lord was personally on the battlefield.
Their morale was not just a little bit higher.
They even let Zhang Yun lead the Chu Army to charge and break through the enemy lines.
"Just a final struggle!" The attack of the Chu Army was stopped by Liu Bei's army. However, Zhang Yun's mood did not change at all. He looked at Liu Bei's figure and became happier.
As long as Liu Bei was there, everything Zhang Yun did was worth it.
Zhang Yun had been in the army for many years. How could he not see it? Although Liu Bei's army defeated his men, it was only a final struggle.
The strength of the army and the elite of the soldiers were the key to victory.
Originally, the Chu Army of Jiangdong was trained by Sun Ce according to Chu Bawang's three thousand Chu Army.
Liu Bei's men were only Liao Hua's men.
If Liu Bei's men were Chen Dao's White Eared Soldiers, who would be the victor?
In that case, the outcome of today's battle was still unknown. That was because the White Eared Heavy Armored Troops were a trump card that could fight against the Wolf Cavalry.
But now! Just by relying on Liao Hua's Yellow Turban Army training method, even with two thousand more troops, they would not be a match for the Chu Army.
Being able to resist the attack of the Chu army was only a temporary boost in morale.
Once this momentum was released, Liu Bei's army would be defeated.
After confirming Liu Bei's voice, Zhang Yun had already made up his mind to fight till the end.
"Brothers, hold on! Our reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!" Liao Hua's voice echoed in the crowd.
"Hehe!" Zhang Yun laughed disdainfully. In his opinion, Liao Hua was just trying to deceive his subordinates.
It was all for the sake of having more subordinates risk their lives to protect him and his lord, Liu Bei.
It was simply an insignificant skill that was nothing in the face of absolute power.
"Soldiers, our reinforcements are on the way! As long as we keep them here, our reinforcements will continue to arrive. Don't forget that this is the territory of our Yangzhou Army! "As if in response to Liao Hua's words, Zhang Yun said.
"You! Liao Hua was furious. Liao Hua's tone sounded like he was ridiculing them. It was as if he was laughing at them for running out of tricks. Now, Zhang Yun began to call himself the leader of the Yangzhou Army.
"Yuanbian, there is no need to be angry. Just hold on for half an hour, Zhang Yun will definitely regret saying such words!" Pang Shiyuan was there to stabilize Liao Hua. He was afraid that Liao Hua would not be able to hold himself back and jump out, disrupting the formation.
Guan Yu's army was about to arrive in half an hour.
When Guan Yu's 5,000 cavalry arrived, it would be the end of Zhang Yun.
"En!" Liao Hua nodded. A little impatience spoils great plans, so he endured it.
"Half an hour, half an hour later, I will definitely take your head!" Liao Hua gritted his teeth and said.
The killing continued.
Liu Bei's Army began to shrink the defensive line again and again.
They had few soldiers and horses, plus they had traveled a long distance and were very tired. Moreover, they were being chased by Zhang Yun's subordinates all the way. In terms of momentum, they could not compare to Zhang Yun's army.
Coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, they could only rely on shrinking the defense line to resist.
"Put more effort, Liu Bei is in front of you. Take him down and you will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth!" Zhang Yun promised, and his soldiers worked even harder.
The pressure on Liao Hua and others was even heavier. Half an hour passed. "Military advisor, why is the second general's army not here yet?" Liao Huafeng killed a Chu soldier at the front, but even so, he was cut in the arm by a Chu soldier. If it wasn't for his armor, his arm would have been crippled.
The wound on his arm rolled up and blood kept flowing.
"Almost there, almost there!" Pang Shiyuan could only say so. Guan Yu's army would arrive in about half an hour, it was impossible to be on time.
"Another incense stick's worth of time! Another incense stick's worth of time. If the second general does not arrive, please take Milord and retreat to the Yangtze River. I will bring up the rear! "Liao Hua said to Pang Shiyuan.
If Guan Yu was late, Liao Hua and others would not be able to wait for the reinforcements.
Once Liu Bei fell into Zhang Yun's hands, even if Guan Yu arrived, what could he do?
"I know! An incense stick's worth of time, just an incense stick's worth of time, if General Guan does not arrive, I will take Milord and break out! "Pang Shiyuan also nodded.
"Kill!" Liao Hua looked at Pang Shiyuan and once again rushed forward to kill.
"Haha! Liao Hua, where are your reinforcements? Let them come! Come! " Zhang Yun could be considered to be a petty person who was intoxicated by his success. That mocking face of his was extremely lethal.
Liao Hua did not speak or answer, and the morale of Liao Hua's army also dropped.
"Liao Hua, surrender! This Liu Bei will definitely die, but you may not! " After fighting with Liao Hua for so long, Zhang Yun also cherished talents. Previously, they served different masters, but now, he wanted to join the Yangzhou army.
If he did not have some strong companions, then Zhang Yun might not even be able to make a name for himself among the Yangzhou army. After all, Zhang Yun's ability was not outstanding in the Yangzhou army.
However, if Zhang Yun had one or two capable generals around him, then it would be different. Then, he would form a group of generals.
In this way, he would naturally be able to get a piece of the cake in the Yangzhou army.
Liao Hua did not want to answer, but suddenly, he felt the ground shake, and suddenly he laughed. He opened his mouth and said to Zhang Yun, "Zhang Yun, because of what you said, I will spare your dog life later!"
"Hmph, Liao Hua, you are still so stubborn!" Zhang Yun said disdainfully.
"We still don't know who is going to die!" The more Liao Hua felt the ground shake, the happier he was.
"What!" Zhang Yun also felt it. Zhang Yun had always been the commander of the navy, so he didn't have much reaction to the ground. Compared to Liao Hua, he was slower. Liao Hua could feel it, but Zhang Yun couldn't. But now, it was different. This was because even a person who hadn't fought a war could tell that something was coming. Moreover, it was a group of them.
"Cavalry, cavalry!" Some of Zhang Yun's sharp-eyed subordinates were able to see cavalry emerging from the horizon behind Liu Bei's Army.
Looking at the clothes they are wearing, they are the uniforms of Liu Bei's Army. Furthermore, they are carrying a banner.
"Guan? Guan Yu! "Zhang Yun stared at Liao Hua with his eyes wide open.
"Haha!" Liao Hua suddenly burst out laughing, and a ferocious grin appeared on his face. "Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, there's a path to heaven but you don't want to take it. Since you're here, don't think of leaving today!" Liao Hua wanted to swallow Zhang Yun's 3,000 Chu soldiers in one go.
Zhang Yun's face turned gloomy. Now he knew that it was impossible to escape. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
How could a two-legged man be a four-legged man's opponent?
Only by standing and continuing to fight, there may be a way to survive. He prayed that Sun Ce and Taishi Ci in Fan City found out that Zhang Yun had not returned and sent troops to rescue him.
"Pass down the order, withdraw the defense line! Formation! " Zhang Yun was a little panicked. After all, he was a navy general. He had never experienced the power of heavy cavalry on land. Just the rows of enemies made him feel a lot of pressure.
In the midst of the chaos, Zhang Yun directly ordered them to set up the formation. He didn't even say anything about the formation.
Even if Zhang Yun said it, the Chu army of Jiangdong would not.
After all, they were very different from the Great Han army.
It was precisely because Zhang Yun did not command that he became the best commander because the Chu army of Jiangdong formed their own system.
When it came to formation, they immediately reacted.
After many years of training, they quickly set up the Black Tortoise Round Shield Formation.
The whole army was like a small tortoise shell that was difficult to bite open.
"Big Brother!" Guan Yu quickly led his men to meet up with Liu Bei and the others.
"Second Brother, it's so good to see you! I thought I would never see you again in this life! " Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes. "Second Brother, I am sorry. Ping 'er, Ping' er!"
"Big Brother, Ping 'er sacrificed himself for your great cause, for the Han dynasty. It was worth it!" Guan Yu's heart was in pain, but he still insisted on saying it.
"My Lord!" De Fu also shouted at Liu Bei.
Seeing that there were outsiders, Guan Yu wiped his face and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. "Big Brother, the enemy is in front of us. Watch me deal with this group of rascals before you talk to me!"
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Guan Yu's hand began to boil.
"Even you are angry!" Guan Yu said to the blade in his hand.
"Me too!" Guan Yu clenched his blade and glanced at the Chu army of Jiangdong.
"They are the ones who took Ping 'er's life. Today, I will sacrifice them to Ping' er!" Guan Yu fully showed the love of a father to his son.
"Great Han Cavalry, Wild Goose Formation!" Guan Yu's tone was really big. After Liu Bei gave him the troops, he formed a cavalry called the Great Han Cavalry.
"Whoosh!" Guan Yu's army was completely displayed in front of Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun realized that he might not be able to escape today. Five thousand men, a total of five thousand men. Where did Liu Bei get these heavy cavalry?
"Men, come with me to Fan City to report that we have been ambushed!" Zhang Yun said to his subordinates.
Zhang Yun could only hope that Fan City could send reinforcements as soon as possible.
"Soldiers, are you afraid?" Zhang Yun asked the Chu army around him.
"Don't be afraid!" The Chu soldiers from Jiangdong grinned and laughed.
"Huh?" Zhang Yun just wanted to comfort himself. Who would have thought that these Chu army of Jiangdong would say they were not afraid?
"Only I can live as a soldier. If I die in battle, my family can live!" The Chu army of Jiangdong grinned and showed his teeth.
The Chu army of Jiangdong was Sun Ce's army. When Sun Ce chose the Chu army of Jiangdong, he chose the children of poor families. Of course, they were not the kind of people who lived alone their whole lives. They had their own concerns and fetters.
During every battle, Sun Ce did not let these people fight to the death. Instead, he told them that if they died in battle, what would happen to their families?
So, if they wanted to go back alive, they had to kill the enemy.
When these people become soldiers, they can only feed themselves but not their families. But if they die in battle, Sun Ce will do his best to take care of every soldier of the Chu Army in Jiangdong.
This was the reason why the Chu army of Jiangdong was so powerful.
In the past, the Chu army of Jiangdong was not afraid of the Qin army, let alone these five thousand men.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!" The Chu army of Jiangdong roared.
"Leave no one alive!" Hearing the fighting spirit of the Chu army of Jiangdong, Liu Bei's face became gloomy. His face was red, even his eyes were red. Why? Why did he, Liu Mang, have these elite troops while Liu Bei did not?
Even Chen Dao's White Eared Heavy Armor was destroyed by Liu Mang.
Liu Mang, you destroyed my White Eared Heavy Armor. Today, I will destroy your Chu army. I will let you taste the pain of losing your elite troops.
The three thousand Chu army of Jiangdong was about to be drowned by Guan Yu's five thousand cavalry.
The earth shook once again.
Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Guan Yu. "Second Brother, you have more troops behind?" Liu Bei thought that Guan Yu's troops were the vanguard and there were more behind.
"No!" Guan Yu shook his head. He also wanted to have more heavy cavalry because in the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry was like a tank.
But this was just a thought. They were short on horses and Liu Bei had just taken over Jingzhou. How much money could they have?
One heavy cavalry could be exchanged for ten elite infantrymen.
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements!" Zhang Yun was on the verge of tears. If their reinforcements really came, then Zhang Yun wouldn't have to die. He wouldn't have to die here.
"Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian!" Liu Bei said in disbelief.
