Chapter 8 can only be slaughtered like a pig

Without a moment to think, he hurriedly lowered his head as a long spear swept past the back of his head

With a handful of arrows plucked out, Chunyu Qiong let out a furious roar. Not only did he not retreat, but he also urged his warhorse to quicken its pace

The densely packed long spears, resembling the quills of a porcupine, pointed in all directions towards the encircling army of Gongsun.

"The cavalry has horses, the infantry has armor, what do we have?" Looking around, Yuan Xu of the Firehead Army said, "The enemy's encirclement has already taken shape. If our army is defeated, the cavalry will gallop away, and the enemy will find it difficult to catch up and will have to abandon the pursuit. The infantry, in groups of three or five, may be able to fight and retreat, but you, with neither horses nor heavy armor, can only be slaughtered like pigs!"

Upon receiving the command, the cavalry formation immediately dispersed, advancing rapidly in a semicircular formation towards Yuan's troops

While being entangled by several White Horse Yisong, a shout from a Yuan army soldier reached Chunyu Qiong's ear: "General, be careful!"

The well-trained cavalry of Gongsun Jun has long been accustomed to the rapid maneuvering combat style

The general escaped from the battlefield, and the morale of Yuan's cavalry, on the verge of collapse, instantly shattered

The soldiers of the Fire Head Army hung their heads in silence.

Startled and drenched in cold sweat, he simultaneously rose and swung his long spear backward

The Gongsun army, advancing in a fan shape towards www.hetushu.com, did not immediately charge in; instead, they quickly encircled, with both flanks swiftly maneuvering to the side of Yuan's forces

The cavalry of Yuan Jun is in retreat, and the main formation is also surrounded by the cavalry of Gongsun Jun. Yuan Xu shouted to the fire troops present: "Are you truly willing to die?"

A long spear thrust out from behind the shield wall, forming a wall of Asura ready to reap the lives of the enemy in front of the grand formation

The pressure was already immense, and the surroundings were filled with Gongsun Jun's cavalry, causing the fighting spirit of the Yuan army soldiers on horseback to rapidly wane

The two long spears collided with each other, causing both Chunyu Qiong and Tian Kai to feel a tingling sensation in their hands.

The troops of Yuan Jun swiftly changed formation, quickly forming a massive circular arrangement

Yuan Xu expressed their true feelings, but no one dares to admit it

However, his complexion is relatively fair, and a pair of small, phoenix-like eyes sparkle with cleverness, making him appear much more astute than Tian Kai

In the surging crowd, he saw Chunyu Qiong surrounded by several knights on white horses from a distance. With a swing of his spear, he charged forward, roaring in anger

Gongsun Zan, leading the charge out of the city, reined in his warhorse, raised his hand to point forward, and said: "He Tu Shu Tian Yu, quickly lead the cavalry to encircle in a fan shape, and do not let a single enemy escape!"

"You are pondering whether, even if our army is defeated, we can simply run away?" With a cold smile, Yuan Xu asked another question.

A general following behind him clasped his fists in response and shouted to Gongsun Jun's cavalry: "All troops, spread out and encircle the enemy in a fan shape!"

More than two hundred soldiers of the Firehead Army stretched their necks to look ahead, paying attention to the battle when they suddenly heard Yuan Xu's deep questioning in their ears: "Do you wish to die?"

The enemy troops fought valiantly, and our forces, seeing that they were outmatched, found it difficult to receive reinforcements in a timely manner. Yuan Xu spoke in a low yet penetrating voice: "If the enemy is victorious, will they show mercy simply because you are but the vanguard?"

In the darkness of the night, neither side lit torches, and the White Horse Yisong engaged in fierce combat with the cavalry of Yuan's army. The sounds of shouting and killing masked the hoofbeats of Gongsun's cavalry, and the main formation of Yuan's army remained unaware of Gongsun's movements

When Yuan Tan saw from a distance the large swath of black shadows sweeping towards them in a fan shape, the encirclement by Gongsun Jun's cavalry was already more than half complete

"As long as one is alive, who would wish to die?" It is still that fiery soldier, and the books still bear a look of sorrow.

With a swift motion of both hands, he raised the gun, blocking the long rifle aimed at his waist

Tian Kai wielded his spear, thrusting left and right; with almost every thrust, a soldier from Yuan's army would fall from his horse

The White Horse Brigade hastily threw their longbows to the ground and drew their long spears while galloping on horseback

The enemy is attacking, respond with all haste! In the midst of the urgency, Yuan Tan drew his long sword and let out a shout

Tian Yu, riding a chestnut steed and following closely behind him, has a physique similar to that of Tian Kai, exuding a robust and vigorous aura.

Armed with large shields, the heavy infantry of Yuan's army advanced, forming a wall of shields at the front of the formation

The two parties are getting closer and closer, and it seems they are about to collide.

The shoulder pierced by the arrow was in excruciating pain, yet Chunyu Qiong, holding a long spear, exerted all his strength to deflect the weapons thrust at him by several soldiers of the White Horse Yisong

Two men were engaged in a fierce battle at one location, while the white horse companion was about to assist, several cavalrymen from the Yuan army immediately surged forward to block their way

They stared intently at the Yuan cavalry, which was just within reach, their faces reflecting nothing but determination

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the White Horse Yisong and Tongze, many cavalry turned their horses around and galloped towards the main formation

The soldiers from both sides wielded their weapons and blades, letting out fierce roars as they clashed violently together

The archers stepped forward one after another, forming a line behind the shield wall, drawing their longbows and aiming at the charging army of Gongsun.

From a distance, upon witnessing this scene, Yuan Xu, who was in the rear ranks, silently exclaimed that it was not good

The pain nearly caused him to fall from the horse; after all, he had once been the West Garden Prefect appointed by Emperor Ling of Han. The pride he carried compelled him to grit his teeth and endure the excruciating pain radiating from his shoulder.

The cavalry in the front fell one after another, and those behind surged forward closely.

Upon discovering the intentions of Gongsun Jun's cavalry, Yuan Tan immediately made defensive arrangements

In the midst of the chaotic melee between the cavalry of both sides, Tian Kai charged forward, consecutively toppling several soldiers of the Yuan army.

Two to three hundred soldiers remained silent, their heads bowed

Even if the Yuan army is defeated, at the very least, they can still escape, which is better than rushing onto the battlefield to die

"Young master, you jest. Who among us wishes to die?" A weary soldier in his forties, standing only two or three steps away, said with a sigh, "We are merely firemen. Although we carry weapons, we can barely protect ourselves. If the young master insists on charging forward, it would be difficult for us to keep up..."

Once Gongsun Jun's encirclement is established, even if he wishes to take action, he is likely to find no opportunity

With a single strike failing, Tian Kai was just about to thrust again when Chunyu Qiong's long spear was already sweeping towards his waist

The warhorses collided with each other, amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, accompanied by the brittle crack of shattered bones of both horse and rider, the battlefield echoed with continuous tragic whinnies

As he wielded his spear, he deflected the incoming arrows during the charge of the flying horse. Chunyu Qiong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, as an arrow pierced through his armor and penetrated his scapula

The cavalry of Yuan's army, engaged in combat with the White Horse Yisong, also discovered that they had been surrounded by the enemy forces

The archer draws back the bowstring, waiting for the enemy forces to come a little closer

Just as he was about to turn his head, he felt a strong gust of wind sweep past the back of his head

A pair of eyes stared intently at the enemy, and in the cold night wind, many soldiers of the Yuan army even had fine beads of sweat forming on their foreheads

Blocking the gunshot aimed at his heart by Tian Kai, Chunyu Qiong, fully aware of the impossibility of victory, turned his warhorse and charged towards the outside of the battle group

The clash of weapons and the incessant sounds of killing filled the air, as the soldiers widened their bloodshot eyes and fiercely thrust their weapons at the enemy

The cavalry of Gongsun Jun, arranged in a massive fan-shaped formation, drew their longbows from behind and aimed at the Yuan army, which was on high alert.

The heavily armored infantry, holding large shields, lined up at the front, extending long spears through the gaps between the shields!
