Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1072 Rushing into the formation
Good bows are produced in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, so the soldiers of the Three Han and Baekje were mainly archers. This type of soldier has the most cost-effectiveness in terms of both defending the city and equipment cost, but if they are approached by cavalry, it will be a disaster.

The fate of the Baekje soldiers was sealed the moment Zhao Yun broke in. Due to the mountainous terrain at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, they had almost no contact with organized cavalry, and naturally had no targeted restraining arms.

Previously, when Yuan Xi's fleet landed and attacked the city, they used infantry, while the cavalry hid in the cabins, then disembarked in the dark and hid in the dense forests on the side of Weili City. Therefore, Baekje had no idea of ​​the existence of this surprise force.

Even if they knew, they did not have heavy infantry strong enough to resist cavalry. After all, in Baekje, only the royal guards could match them in terms of fully armored elite soldiers. How could they be used in war?

So these archers put up a little resistance under the torrent of Youzhou's iron hooves, and were turned into shapeless flesh and blood on the ground. They fled in panic, but Yuan Xi's rear army appeared at the right time, blocking their way and cutting off their last hope.

As for Jia Xu, he led hundreds of Youzhou rebels and fled to the northern mountains with great precision. Of course, he broke through the encirclement, ostensibly to open an escape route for the Baekje soldiers in the rear. However, after more than a hundred Baekje soldiers escaped, the passage was cut off again by Yuan Xi's army.

Most of the remaining thousand Baekje soldiers were killed or wounded in just a quarter of an hour under the attack of Youzhou cavalry and infantry. The rest almost lost their fighting spirit and knelt down in surrender.

Zhao Yun did not delay at all. He ignored the remaining sporadic resistance and waved his hand, leading the cavalry to rush towards the direction of the Jiangdong army like a whirlwind.

The Baekje soldiers were just appetizers. The real main course, of course, was the Jiangdong Army, which had come from afar, was blown to pieces by landmines, and has not recovered yet!
At this time, after a huge explosion at the dock, the morale of the Wu soldiers was on the verge of collapse, but under the command of Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng who arrived later, they regrouped in a very short time and continued to attack Yuan Xi's main camp.

This decision was undoubtedly correct. Although the Jiangdong army suffered heavy losses in the explosion, they still had the strength to fight. Even if the chances of winning were not high, there was still hope of a comeback or even victory.

On the contrary, if they retreat at this time, it would be tantamount to completely giving up this glimmer of hope. For the Jiangdong Army, which has gone on a long expedition, not only will they give up their goals before departure, but they are also likely to be wiped out under the enemy's pursuit. In this case, they might as well fight with the enemy and see who will be the final winner in this life-and-death battle!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng looked at each other, raised their spears at the same time, roared, and led their subordinates to rush towards Yuan Xi's army.

As the two commanders and generals, their contribution to boosting morale was immediate. Jiangdong had no shortage of brave men, and the soldiers who had been wounded and fallen to the ground but still had fighting capacity all got up from the ground and rushed forward.

The soldiers on both sides collided fiercely, and a life-and-death fight was staged again.

A Jiangdong soldier rushed forward waving a dagger. A long spear was thrust at him, but the Jiangdong soldier was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the spear with one hand and pulled it back violently. The soldiers of Yuan Xi's army on the opposite side hurriedly pulled back, but the Jiangdong soldier suddenly leaped up in an instant, and took advantage of the opponent's pulling force to pounce on him at an incredible speed!
The spearman of Yuan Xi's army was caught off guard and was snatched into the arms of the Jiangdong soldier. Seeing the sharp blade stabbing towards his abdomen, he did not dodge. Instead, he threw away the spear with both hands and grabbed the opponent's arm.

The Jiangdong soldier stabbed hard, but heard a ding sound, and his arm was numbed by the shock. He reacted instantly and found that the opponent had inner armor on his abdomen. Are all the fierce tiger soldiers so rich?
He missed his move and saw the opponent's arm grabbing him. He sneered in his heart and immediately raised the blade of the knife to cut the opponent's fingers. As a result, somehow, the opponent turned his hand to the side, and the Jiangdong soldier's steel knife chopped on his arm, but was blocked by the arm armor.

After two consecutive slashes on the armor, the Jiangdong soldier no longer had a third chance. The soldiers of Yuan Xi's army had already rushed into his arms, grabbed the Jiangdong soldier's arm, and exerted force. Suddenly, with a cracking sound, the Jiangdong soldier's joints were dislocated and the steel knife fell to the ground.

The Jiangdong soldier screamed and subconsciously raised his foot to kick the opponent in the abdomen. The opponent grinned, pinched the opponent's ankle with one hand, squatted sideways, and held the opponent's other foot with the other hand. He exerted force with both arms and actually lifted the opponent up!

Jiang Dongbing had never seen such a move before. He waved his hands wildly. The next moment, the world was spinning around and he was knocked to the ground headfirst.

The soldier of Yuan Xi's army was born in the north and was good at wrestling. His moves were very quick and clean. He shook his arm and aimed the body of the Jiangdong soldier diagonally at the ground and smashed him down hard!
With a bang, Jiang Dongbing's head hit the ground. Most of the impact force was exerted on his tilted neck. With a crackling sound, Jiang Dongbing's neck broke and he collapsed to the ground.

When the Youzhou soldier saw that he had defeated the enemy, he bent over to pick up the spear on the ground, but he felt a pain in his back. He was stabbed by the Jiangdong soldier who had caught up with him from behind.

The knife pierced right into the gap in the armor, and blood immediately gushed out. The soldier of Yuan Xi's army roared, and hit the opponent with his backhand elbow, causing blood to splatter in the opponent's face and he fell backwards.

Before the soldier of Yuan Xi's army had time to catch his breath, he felt a pain in his foot again. When he looked down, he saw that he was hit on the ankle by a wounded soldier from Jiangdong on the ground. He kicked the opponent in the head. Seeing that the enemies were coming in an endless stream, he had to draw the ring-handled sword at his waist to meet them.

This kind of scene was happening all the time on the battlefield within a radius of several miles. Although Yuan Xi's army was much stronger in weapons and armor, the Jiangdong soldiers relied on their large numbers and kept pouring in. Several people surrounded and beat one person, determined to defeat the minority with their numbers.

The entire battlefield fell into chaos. At the beginning, it was still a stalemate, but with the participation of Ding Feng and Pan Zhang, who were lucky enough not to be killed in the explosion, the pressure on Yuan Xi's camp suddenly increased.

Ding Feng's eyes were red, he held up a long sword, his body was covered in blood, he ran straight towards Yuan Xi's flag, and shouted: "Fierce Tiger!"

"Look, I'm going to take your head!"

Yuan Xi plucked the bowstring in his hand, slowly drew the bow, aimed at Ding Feng and shot an arrow. Ding Feng heard the wind and tilted his head. The arrow flew past his face. He followed the direction of the bow and saw Yuan Xi. He immediately guessed who was on the other side from his clothes and shouted excitedly, "Fierce Tiger!"

"I'm coming!" He raised his long sword and slashed all the way forward. Sun Li had already blocked him in front. When the long swords of both sides collided, they both took a step back.

The two men took a breath and roared loudly. The two long swords entangled with each other like two whirlwinds, and the sound of clanging continued.

As Yuan Xi was watching, he was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of crisis. He quickly turned his body to the side, and with a thud, a sharp arrow shot into his side.

Although he was protected by armor, the arrow head was extremely heavy. Under the huge impact force, Yuan Xi's eyes went dark and he almost suffocated.

Yuan Xi subconsciously shrank his body and hid himself in the crowd, just in time to avoid the second arrow shot at his face. At this time he could see clearly that it was Pan Zhang who was shooting an arrow at him from a distance!

Yuan Xi cursed inwardly and was about to order the soldiers to shoot Pan Zhang to death, but then he heard a loud bang. Pan Zhang was hit in the arm by an arrow. He screamed, covered his arm and retreated towards Hong.

When Yuan Xi looked back, he saw the sound of horse hooves flying. Zhao Yun had finally arrived with the Youzhou cavalry!
After Zhao Yun shot and wounded Pan Zhang, he did not hesitate and immediately shot with his bow at Ding Feng and Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng who had caught up with them.

His archery skills on horseback were very accurate, and he immediately put Ding Feng and the others in a panic. Ding Feng cursed, "Fuck you, get off your horse and fight me if you have the guts!"

Zhao Yun didn't say anything and immediately rode forward on his horse. Ding Feng was a young and fearless man, and he forced Sun Li back with a single blow of his sword, and actually went forward to meet Zhao Yun.

Jiang Qin came up behind him. He knew how powerful Ding Feng was. Seeing that Ding Feng wanted to fight him head-on, he was immediately horrified and said, "Come back quickly!"

But it was too late. Ding Feng's long sword met Zhao Yun's iron spear. The opponent's impact force of thousands of pounds, including the man and the horse, was beyond Ding Feng's ability to block, and the long sword was about to fly out of his hand.

But Ding Feng was extremely ferocious and held the long sword tightly, resulting in his whole body being carried flying by the impact and spinning in the air.

He saw a flash of cold light from the corner of his eye and knew that this was a moment of life and death. He immediately aimed his long sword in the air at the cold light and chopped it out with all his strength.

With a loud bang, the blades and spear tips collided, and Zhao Yun's spear tip was knocked off course. His hand shook, and the spear tip that was originally aimed at Ding Feng's face deviated a little, and instead pierced Ding Feng's shoulder.

Ding Feng screamed and fell to the ground, dazed. Seeing Zhao Yun running towards him with a spear in his hand, he thought to himself, is he going to die here today?
But then a figure rushed out, blocked Ding Feng's way, and stabbed Zhao Yun with a spear. It turned out to be Jiang Qin.

Zhao Yun shouted, "Well done!"

He swung the spear in his hand, covering Jiang Qin like stars. The two sides fought back and forth with their spears. After more than ten moves, Zhao Yun used his horsepower to split Jiang Qin's spear and pierced his thigh with one spear.

In just a dozen breaths, the three Jiangdong generals were all injured by Zhao Yun!
At this time, Xu Sheng rushed over. He saw this from behind, his eyes were red with anger, and he shouted, "Zhao Yun, come and fight me!"

Jiang Qin fell to the ground, knowing that he had no chance of winning today. Facing him was Zhao Yun, a man who had killed many powerful generals. He and his men had no horses and could not fight against him at all!
He yelled, "Wen Xiang, don't come over here, get on the boat and retreat!"

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. With Zhao Yun in charge, they were indeed unable to kill the ferocious tiger!

As he prepared to retreat, he shouted, "I'll send someone to rescue you!"

Under Xu Sheng's order, the Jiangdong soldiers in front rushed forward without regard for their lives, surrounded Zhao Yun, and prevented him from chasing for a while. Ding Feng stood up, holding his shoulder, and wanted to come up to help Jiang Qin, but found that the opponent was seriously injured and could not get up at all.

He wanted to run away with Jiang Qin on his back, but Jiang Qin pushed him away and shouted, "Neither of us can escape!"

"You are still young, you can avenge me in the future!"

Ding Feng staggered a few steps after being pushed. He clenched his teeth and roared in frustration. Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to break out, he had to flee towards the coast in panic.

At this point, the Jiangdong soldiers' offensive completely collapsed. Everyone turned around and ran wildly, trying to escape back to the boat. Seeing this, Yuan Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and issued an order to pursue.
