Outside Millet County.
Military Kill Ripper led eight thousand elites and was about to attack the city gate. However, the gate suddenly opened, and an army rushed out. It was none other than the six thousand soldiers of Duke Pei's army.
"Just in time!"
Military Kill Ripper was a ruthless character. He immediately ordered the entire army to charge!
"Kill!"
The eight thousand elites were all elite cavalrymen. On the other hand, less than half of the Duke Pei's army was cavalry, and the rest were ordinary infantrymen.
Therefore, Military Kill Ripper was very confident.
Opposite him, Liu Bang also drew his Scarlet Night Sword and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two armies started to charge at each other outside of Su County.
They wanted to decide the outcome of the battle.
Battle cries spread out in the early morning countryside, startling the birds.
However, the people in the city were used to it. Living in troubled times, they were already numb to war.
Hua Xiong was at the forefront, fighting Fan Kuai.
Both of them were fierce generals, and this battle that transcended time and space was very interesting.
Military Kill Ripper also took the lead and chose Cao Can as his opponent. The two lords' generals took on Lu Wan and Xiahou Ying one after another. Zhou Bo, on the other hand, guarded Liu Bang and slaughtered his enemies.
As for Xiao He, he remained in the county government.
The advantage of being a general was soon reflected on the battlefield.
Apart from Hua Xiong and Fan Kuai, the two fierce generals, who were evenly matched, Military Kill Ripper and the others were barely holding on and were on the verge of losing.
Although Military Kill Ripper was also a part-time general, he could not compare to Ouyang Shuo. Cao Can might not be defeated immediately, but he was struggling to hold on.
Xiahou Ying's opponent, in particular, was in grave danger.
Xiahou Ying was a fierce general, while his opponent was just an ordinary general. How could he be a match for him?
What was more frightening was that all the generals of Duke Pei's army had activated their special skills. With the help of their special skills, the soldiers of Duke Pei's army had their fighting strength increased by a large margin.
Although Military Kill Ripper had the advantage in numbers, he could not win because his generals were at a disadvantage.
The battle seemed to be in a stalemate.
Just as the two armies were fighting, an army quietly arrived outside the battlefield.
The newcomer was none other than Ouyang Shuo.
Before this, Ouyang Shuo was still fretting over how to take down Su County with only four thousand soldiers. Unexpectedly, the situation of the battle took a sharp turn. He didn't expect Liu Bang to be so impatient.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have waited.
In the blink of an eye, a new change occurred on the battlefield.
Xiahou Ying thrust his spear forward and directly knocked his opponent off his horse.
He broke through the military headquarters and killed his first general.
When Lu Wan saw this, she did not want to be outdone. In less than five minutes, she also defeated her opponent.
Just like that, Kill Ripper's morale plummeted. This was especially so for the five thousand strong army of the two allies. Now that their commander had been killed, they were like a group of dragons without a leader.
Seeing this, Army Kill Ripper did his best to deal with Cao Can while gesturing for the two lords to personally go into battle and command the army. The two of them respected Military Kill Ripper, so they didn't dare to refuse.
Only then did the army manage to stabilize.
Even so, the morale of Duke Pei's army soared.
This was especially true for Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, and the other generals. They couldn't find an opponent, so they went on a killing spree among the enemy.
If it weren't for the fact that Military Kill Ripper had brought along elites, they would've long since collapsed.
Hua Xiong was also paying close attention to the battle. He had gradually gained the upper hand in his battle with Fan Kuai. He knew he had to do something at this moment.
Opposite him, Fan Kuai's eyes were bloodshot.
It was rare for him to meet an evenly matched opponent today, and he was howling in pain from the fight.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong sneered and suddenly leaned to the side, dodging Fan Kuai's killing move. Almost at the same time, Hua Xiong swung his saber at Fan Kuai's neck before he could react.
It was easy to imagine the consequences of such a huge saber.
Fan Kuai's head flew high into the air and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Fan Kuai was dead!
"Fan Kuai!"
Liu Bang, who was in the distance, cried out in alarm when he saw Fan Kuai's head.
The whole battlefield froze for a moment.
The morale of both sides plummeted.
It must be noted that the one who was killed in battle was a core general of Duke Pei's army.
"Good!"
Military Kill Ripper, on the other hand, was delighted. Fan Kuai was indeed worthy of being his general.
"Kill!"
Military Kill Ripper avoided Cao Can and began to command the army to launch a surprise attack. He knew that there was no point in fighting generals at this moment. The only thing he could do was charge forward with his army.
"Kill!"
They broke into the army headquarters, carrying with them the morale of a great victory.
The sound of galloping horses made the hearts of the soldiers of Duke Pei's army tremble.
"My Lord, let's retreat first!"
Cao Can suggested to Liu Bang.
"No!" Liu Bang shook his head frantically and said sternly, "I want to avenge Fan Kuai!"
Fan Kuai was his most loyal and reliable brother. He had survived so many battles, but he never thought he would die here. The current Liu Bang was not as ruthless as he was in history after he became the emperor.
"Revenge!"
The eyes of Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Lu Wan, and the others were also bloodshot. How could they bear the loss of one of their brothers who had fought together with them?
Cao Can heaved a long sigh and could only follow the army to the other side.
The battle had finally reached its climax.
The dense killing intent drifted over the battlefield, appalling everyone.
No matter how much pain Liu Bang was in, Duke Pei's army was losing ground again and again.
The elite army that Military Kill Ripper had painstakingly built was indeed extraordinary. If nothing unexpected happened, he was going to win this battle.
Thinking of this, Military Kill Ripper's lips curled into a smug smile.
Di Chen, Lord Chunshen, just you wait!
Military Kill Ripper did not know that the entire battlefield was under Ouyang Shuo's surveillance.
"Marquis?"
Wang Feng came to Ouyang Shuo's side and asked if he could attack.
Ouyang Shuo focused on the battlefield and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
There were no major casualties in the battle between the two armies.
Ouyang Shuo did not have the confidence to suppress two armies at the same time.
Although he felt pity for Fan Kuai's death, he did not act rashly.
Even so, he did not act rashly. His targets were Scarlet Night Sword and Xiao He. As for the other generals, it did not matter much to the Mountain Sea Territory.
Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment and then ordered, "Arrange for a battalion to go around to the city gate."
He was worried that Duke Pei's army would escape back into the city.
"Yes!"
Wang Feng nodded and went to make the arrangements.
The battle in the distance was still going on, and it was getting more and more intense. Duke Pei's army was being beaten back.
"Master, let's retreat!"
Cao Can came to Liu Bang's side again.
Liu Bang heard this and did not refuse firmly.
At the end of the day, compared to brotherhood, hegemony was more important.
Liu Bang sighed and said in a fierce voice, "Retreat!"
"Not good! They're trying to escape! Stop them!"
Military Kill Ripper would not let Duke Pei's army leave. He did not want to attack the city.
Duke Pei's army was mainly made up of infantry, and the two sides were entangled during the battle. It was not easy to retreat. The more they retreated, the more likely they would be killed by Military Kill Ripper.
For a time, Duke Pei's army suffered heavy losses.
At the same time, Military Kill Ripper ordered a group of cavalry to go around and block the city gate.
This time, Duke Pei's army really had nowhere to go.
"Dammit!"
Liu Bang was also furious. He personally led his troops to defeat the enemy at the city gate.
Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying flanked Liu Bang, one on the left and the other on the right, and immediately carved out a path of blood.
Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they did not expect a fierce general to block the city gate.
It was Hwa Xiong.
As the saying went, when enemies met, their eyes blazed with hatred.
Without a word, Zhou Bo and the others charged forward.
Good Hwa Xiong, fighting one against two, was not at a disadvantage.
At that time, Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying were not as fierce as they were in history. On the other hand, Hwa Xiong was at his peak when he was summoned by Military Kill Ripper.
When the two were compared, there was naturally a gap.
Hwa Xiong was undoubtedly the key to this battle.
The battle at the city gate was getting more and more intense.
Duke Pei's army had suffered heavy losses, and Military Kill Ripper did not feel good either.
As soon as the battle began, the eight thousand strong army suffered a huge setback. Up until now, Duke Pei's army was like a cornered beast, and their lethality was astonishing.
Of the eight thousand strong army, less than five thousand were left.
As for the six thousand strong army, it was even worse. Less than three thousand of them had been killed, and more than half of them had been killed.
More importantly, the battle was still going on.
If it were anyone else, they might have surrendered.
But not Liu Bang. He would never surrender to a mutant.
The two sides fought back and forth, and no one dared to stop.
Right now, it was a contest of willpower. Whichever of the two armies could not collapse in the face of heavy casualties would win this battle.
At the same time, Xiao He, who was in charge of the county government, heard the news and could no longer sit still. Xiao He gathered five hundred soldiers from the county government office and rushed out of the city gate to rescue Liu Bang.
Although five hundred warriors was not a large number, they were still a force to be reckoned with.
It seemed that Hwa Xiong was about to lose the city gate.
Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying's pincer attack was no small matter.
At the crucial moment, Military Kill Ripper led his troops to reinforce Liu Bang.
This battle was full of ups and downs.
The small city gate became the focus of both sides' battle.
Liu Bang no longer had any thoughts of revenge. All he wanted was to retreat into the city.
Military Kill Ripper naturally did not want to fail at the last moment, so he tried his best to stop Liu Bang. Even if his army suffered heavy losses, Military Kill Ripper's will would not waver.
To him, even if he used his entire army to exchange for Xiao He and the others, it would still be worth it.
Therefore, Military Kill Ripper was not afraid of sacrifice.
If things went on like this, Military Kill Ripper's victory would be right in front of him.
Military Kill Ripper was now worried that his soldiers would accidentally injure the generals in Liu Bang's army. Especially Xiao He, who was a precious treasure.
The death of Fan Kuai had already made Military Kill Ripper's heart ache.
Unfortunately, Military Kill Ripper's wish was destined to fail.
In the battle, another general in Liu Bang's camp was killed. He was Liu Bang's other good brother, Lu Wan.
Liu Bang's eyes turned bloodshot when he learned that Lu Wan was killed. Fan Kuai and Lu Wan were Liu Bang's two closest brothers. He did not expect that they would die at the same time today.
Liu Bang could no longer remain calm after being provoked. The Crimson Night Sword in his hand shone with a bloodthirsty light. (To be continued.)
