Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 525: One after another, Bai Lingwei
This was not the first time that Zhang Liao used the horse-barrier formation. The last time he used it was in Jiangling City in Xuzhou, when he used only 10,000 men to resist the siege of 130,000 troops led by Zhou Yu.

The quality of the long spears obtained from Gu Rubing last time was uneven. They were all put together by Gu Rubing at the last minute. Even so, Zhang Liao still used these long spears to block the opponent's strongest cavalry offensive, and finally successfully waited for Zhang He's support. He was also promoted to a famous general in that battle.

This time, he obtained more than 300 fine iron lances that Sun Jian had collected with great effort, and finally found a place that was more suitable for using the chevaux-de-frise formation. Although his retreat was cut off, when did Zhang Liao, a general who was determined to fight to the death, ever leave himself a way to retreat?
It was like this last time in Jiangling City, it was like this this time in Hutiaojian, and it will be like this next time no matter where it is.

The first batch of cavalry responsible for the charge arrived in an instant. Zhang Liao and his men did not light torches at all. The moonlight was blocked by the mountain behind Tiger Leaping Gorge. Only the narrow corridor leading into Tiger Leaping Gorge could be seen clearly under the moonlight.

Zhang Liao had everything going for him: time, place, and people.

Therefore, after they rushed into the mountain stream and finally saw the three rows of halberd-lit horse-barricades by the light of the torches in their hands, they had no time to stop. The five leading men ran straight into the halberds, which pierced through both the men and horses, leaving them hanging on the halberds like candied haws.

The tough spear was bent by the weight of the man and the horse, and the body fell down. Before it fell completely, the second wave of five cavalrymen had arrived, and they also ended up with both the man and the horse dead.

It was not until the sixth wave of cavalry that they finally realized something was wrong. They had already rushed in with five teams of twenty-five people, but there was no sound of fighting from inside, which made them feel afraid.

But the seventh row of cavalry followed closely behind them, not far behind them. If they stopped now, they would be rushed over by their teammates. Even if the seventh row noticed something was wrong and stopped, what about the ones behind them, and the ones behind them? How would they know?
So they could only keep their heads down and move forward.

After all ten rows of cavalry were killed, the soldiers who had been guarding the center of the semicircle quickly retreated and were replaced by other soldiers who were still in good physical condition, and continued to form a formation of chevaux de frise.

Finally, after the seventeenth row of cavalry rushed in like a drop of water sinking into the sea, Lu Xun stopped the cavalry from continuing to charge.

He looked at the mountain stream with some doubt. It seemed as if there was really a tiger in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, waiting for them inside, and this long and narrow corridor was also the bloody mouth of the tiger.

People are not afraid of death in war, but the speed of death is really too fast, and these eighty-five people are all good fighters under Lu Xun. It can be said that these eighty-five people are more important to Lu Xun than eight hundred and fifty people. He originally wanted to use their high combat power to break through Zhang Liao's conspiracy, but now it seems that he underestimated Zhang Liao.

"Fire the rockets! Since they won't come out, force them out!"

Lu Xun soon became aware of it. Since the other side wanted to fight with them by relying on the terrain of Tiger Leaping Gorge, he would not do as Zhang Liao wished. If you don't come out, I will set fire to force you out.

Just as the archer prepared the grease-coated arrows and was about to fire them into the mountain stream, he was stopped by the kite.

"General, there is a big river in Tiger Leaping Gorge, which runs throughout the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge. I'm afraid a fire attack will not work."

Lu Xun was a little confused by the sudden news. Could it be that Zhang Liao really had the advantage of time, place and people? Would he have to risk his life to survive in Tiger Leaping Gorge?
There was no other way, Lu Xun could only change the situation of the charge. He could not wait. In this kind of war where a single move could affect the entire body, time was life. Even if it cost lives, he would kill Zhang Liao and the others here!

Under Lu Xun's command, countless soldiers began to rush in one after another, for no other reason than that the conditions offered by Lu Xun were too luxurious.

Those who died in battle will receive a bounty of one ingot, those who kill the enemy will receive a bounty of ten ingots, those who kill five or more people will receive a bounty of fifty ingots and be granted a fiefdom of 100 households, and those who kill ten or more people will receive a bounty of 100 ingots and be granted a fiefdom of 1,000 households!

A reward of this scale cannot be higher. You have to know that the annual salary of these cavalrymen is only two taels of silver. One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver. One ingot of gold weighs ten taels, which is one hundred taels of silver. If they want to earn this one hundred taels of silver, it will take them fifty years.

But now, one can get it just by dying on the battlefield, and the killer can get even more, which is why all of them are rushing towards Tiger Leaping Gorge one after another.

All the money that Shi Xie had accumulated over the years had now been moved to Jiangdong. The originally poor Jiangdong had now become extremely rich. Not to mention anything else, the countless jades that Shi Xie had obtained from Jiaozhi County were enough for them to use for several years.

Lu Xun's order was like a raging fire that ignited the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Their eyes were shining with the desire for gold and silver and the pursuit of fame. Under such encouragement, even when faced with Zhang Liao's seemingly insurmountable barricade, they rushed forward without hesitation.

Zhang Liao stood at the front of the chevaux-de-frise formation. Once the chevaux-de-frise formation was broken, he would be the first to face the enemy.

His eyes were extremely cold at this moment. Although the opponent's combat power was not enough for his subordinates to trigger his command skills, in this narrow mountain stream, the opponent's numerical advantage, which was not too great, could not be fully utilized.

The power of the chevaux-de-frise formation lies in its ability to limit the enemy's mobility to the greatest extent possible, making it impossible for the enemy to exert its impact. In addition, the toughness of the long spear also makes the chevaux-de-frise formation stronger.

As Lu Xun's soldiers continued to pour into the mountain stream, the soldiers in Tiger Leaping Gorge also began their counterattack. They used the cover of the barricade to accurately strike the enemy with bows and spears. Every time the spear was thrust out, it was accompanied by the enemy's screams and the neighing of the warhorse.

This kind of battle lasted for a full half hour, and the mountain stream was filled with the smell of blood and the sound of metal colliding.

Although each of Lu Xun's men was brave and fearless, they died too quickly. In half an hour, more than 3,000 people had been deployed, but in the end there was no feedback. Their losses were extremely heavy.

Lu Xun stood at the edge of the entrance to the mountain stream. He squinted his eyes and looked inside, watching his soldiers fall one after another. His heart was filled with helplessness and anger. He could not see clearly there because of the shadows. He could only see some flashing cold light.

That must be the defense line organized by Zhang Liao. The battle has reached a critical moment. If Zhang Liao's defense line cannot be quickly broken, then the morale will plummet and the outcome of the battle will be irreversible. So he can only continue to give orders and continue to charge in, but at this moment, the fear of death has exceeded the soldiers' desire for money. Now, the only ones who take the initiative to attack are the refugees who migrated here to join the army. They need money so much that they are willing to exchange their lives for money.

Inside the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the hundreds of men with long spears have now all been replaced by a new wave of people, because more than half of the first wave of hundreds of people have been killed or injured, and the remaining ones are also injured, most of them with broken knuckles. They must replace people, otherwise the chevaux de frise formation will soon be broken through.

After another thousand people were deployed, it was still like water dripping into the sea, with no reaction at all. Lu Xun could no longer bear it.

"Shoot your arrows and turn the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge into a hedgehog! Also, bring in the catapults and destroy the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge!"

At this moment, Lu Xun no longer cared about the order given to him by Sun Quan to capture Zhang Liao alive. The casualties under his command were too severe. If he failed to capture Zhang Liao, Sun Jian would probably blame him. Therefore, he was determined to defeat Zhang Liao at all costs, even if it meant killing him and disobeying Sun Quan's orders.

A cavalry team of ten people left Tiger Leaping Gorge and rushed towards Wujun County City without looking back. They had mobilized catapults before and stored them outside Wujun County City. It only took half an hour to transport them there. This could be said to be a huge and lucrative job. It was just a matter of transporting a catapult, and there was no risk to life. In the end, they could also leave a good impression on Lu Xun. This kind of job was the most popular.

They were a group of ten people, and they took the small road just to save time and leave a better impression on Lu Xun, but when they arrived at the county town, they were all stunned.

Therefore, at this moment in the city of Wujun, a great war broke out silently!
A cavalry unit of more than 10,000 people was attacking the county town of Wujun at this moment. What shocked them the most was that their young master Sun Quan did not defend the county town with high walls, but chose to go out of the city and fight with these more than 10,000 cavalrymen.

Sun Quan was standing on the city wall, looking at the battlefield below the city, his eyes full of confidence.

At first, Sun Quan thought that Zhang Liao had killed Lu Xun and his cavalry and fought his way to the county city. However, after seeing the army of more than 10,000 people, Sun Quan felt relieved and ordered his army to attack immediately to fight against this group of vagrant soldiers who came from nowhere.

However, after two rounds of close combat between the two armies, that is, when the team of ten people just saw this scene, Sun Quan discovered that his idea was absolutely wrong. These were not just guerrillas, but a group of well-trained regular troops. Moreover, the leading general of the other side was extremely brave. In just a quarter of an hour, he had killed two of his first-class generals.

You know, these two first-rate generals were sent by Sun Jian to protect Sun Quan, so they must not be too weak. However, they were killed one after another by the unfamiliar general within a quarter of an hour.

Sun Quan had no choice but to send his own soldiers into the battlefield. It was a special army that belonged to Sun Quan alone. Although there were only 100 of them, their combat effectiveness was extremely high, even better than the tiger soldiers under the chariot. Since it was a special army awakened by Sun Quan, Sun Jian naturally handed over the right of command to Sun Quan.

This army consists of only a hundred people, named Bai Ling Wei. It should be the only special army at present where everyone has the basic attributes of a top second-rate general at the beginning of awakening. Other special army units do not have such high basic attributes at all.

But while the attributes are high, there are also great disadvantages. Just like its name, Bai Ling Wei, the upper limit of its number of members is one hundred. But the growth attribute of this hundred-man force is ridiculously high. If they are given enough time, they can even become a team composed of first-class generals.

By then, a team of one hundred men, all first-rate generals of special forces, will follow us. Just imagine how powerful that will be.

After Bai Lingwei joined the battlefield, he immediately turned into a sharp blade on the battlefield, quickly dividing the battlefield into two parts.

This 100-man cavalry was too powerful. They faced the cavalry led by Xu Rong just like Xu Rong faced Sun Quan's cavalry now. Xu Rong's men could slaughter Sun Quan's men, but this 100-man cavalry could slaughter Xu Rong's men. The two sides formed a delicate balance.

Xu Rong soon discovered the existence of this special type of soldiers. It was hard for a team of a hundred people rushing around in such a large battlefield without attracting attention. Apart from that, their fighting style was so ferocious that they chose to cut off the cavalry army representing the river surface horizontally like a halberd.

With the halberds across the river, the Bailing Guards killed their way through the entire battlefield.

"These should be the same soldiers as Yunchang's Qinglong Swordsmen and Yide's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. We can't let them continue to kill like this. I'm going to meet them!"

Xu Rong's eyes were sharp, and he was grateful in his heart at the same time. Fortunately, the other side had only a hundred people, which was far from being able to play a decisive role on the battlefield.

Even so, Xu Rong decided to take action personally to stop this cavalry of a hundred people and prevent them from continuing to kill. Otherwise, the advantage they had worked so hard to build up in the previous quarter of an hour would disappear completely.

Holding a spear in his hand, Xu Rong began to chase and kill this cavalry of a hundred men throughout the battlefield. Even though Xu Rong was facing these one hundred men, he did not dare to be careless at all. These one hundred men united together definitely had the strength to slaughter first-rate generals. Even Xu Rong, who was a quasi-famous general, might very likely capsize in the ditch if he was not careful.

Behind Xu Rong, there are two first-rate generals following closely. They were first-rate generals who were promoted when they followed Xu Rong to fight against Goguryeo. Now they can stand on their own. Among all the people, only these three have combat power above that of first-rate generals.

Even if they are second-rate generals, they will have to give up when encountering special forces of the Bai Lingwei level. They are no match for them at all. Below the first-rate generals, the individual combat power of generals of special forces is higher than that of generals of the same level. Above the first-rate generals, the combat power of ordinary generals will surpass that of generals of special forces.

Therefore, only the three of them started to hunt down Bai Lingwei.

Long before joining the battlefield, Bai Lingwei received orders from Sun Quan, asking them to protect their reputations at all costs and to put their lives first at the critical moment.

Bai Lingwei also thoroughly carried out Sun Quan's orders, fighting and running on the battlefield.
