Wait, please don't call me Emperor Zhaolie

Chapter 97: Yu Stabbed the Enemy in the Crowd
Just when Liu Bao ordered his men to stop them, a battle had actually already taken place ahead. It would have been better if the Hun light cavalry could move around and avoid engaging the enemy.

But the Han army had no intention of engaging with them. The two hundred cavalrymen had only one goal, which was to rush to the rear and defeat the unprepared Huns.

The Xiongnu cavalry had no choice but to bite the bullet and rein in their horses to block the enemy head-on.

They collided with the Han cavalry, using short weapons to fight against long spears, and were killed in an instant.

On the river bank, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard continuously, mixed with the sounds of fighting and shouting.

The Huns' hastily organized cavalry collapsed and fled before they could stop the Han army for long.

After defeating the Xiongnu cavalry, the Han cavalry divided into the left and right wings, encircled the enemy from behind, and charged all the way like a tiger attacking a flock of sheep, unhindered.

The Huns were all fleeing for their lives, and the cattle and sheep were frightened and ran into each other everywhere, accidentally dividing the Hun cavalry and making it impossible for them to reunite.

The largest number of people was at the Huanshui Bridge, where the Huns were packed almost shoulder to shoulder.

Upon seeing this, the two wings of the Han army simultaneously ran around.

Guan Yu rode a tall horse, staring intently at the chaotic army, looking for the Huns nobleman. In his early years, there were often Huns grazing on horses in Hedong, his hometown, so he had some knowledge of the Huns' tribal robes and dress.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped and he saw a Hun man wearing a colorful brocade robe being escorted to the bridge by everyone.

Guan Yu ordered the knights holding red flags to charge with him, and when the cavalry saw the flags waving, they all followed.

He was invincible along the way, and anyone who stood in his way was killed by his spear.

The guards beside Liu Bao shouted in Xiongnu language: "Hurry up and protect the left commander to go first, we will go and stop the Han cavalry."

Although Guan Yu couldn't hear clearly what the other side was saying, he could see that the other side's guards were obviously panicking.

He immediately realized that the Xiongnu noble was of extraordinary status, and he squeezed the horse's belly hard to increase his speed.

Liu Bao's personal guards attempted to use their lives to stop the Han cavalry so as to buy time for the Left Grand Commandant to cross the bridge.

Unfortunately, they misjudged the situation. The Han army's Changxu cavalry general was extremely brave and lost several lives at the beginning.

Guan Yu stabbed several people to death with a single move, and some Hun cavalrymen took advantage of the fact that his lance had not yet been pulled out from the people's bodies and tried to launch a sneak attack.

However, Guan Yu quickly drew the blade with his left arm and chopped off the man's head with one blow.

Then he leapt on his horse and rushed through the siege of many Huns, used his spear to sweep away the knife that was chopping the horse's hooves, and then shouted fiercely: "Die!"

Liu Bao, who was killing the herdsmen blocking the road with his sword, turned back unexpectedly and saw a spear tip getting closer and closer to his pupils. He felt the murderous aura of the Han general.

He wanted to block with a knife but it was too late.

"Puchi!" Liu Bao's neck was pierced by Guan Yu's spear, and his head flew off directly.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and the remains of the body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The cavalry behind Guan Yu rushed forward and completely broke through the Huns' psychological defenses like a torrent of wind and rain.

Many people witnessed the left commander being brutally killed by the Han cavalry. Except for his trusted confidants who wanted to rush up to take revenge, the rest of the cavalry had no will to fight and turned around to flee to the north.

The Huns on the other side of the Huan River did not dare to cross the bridge, and were not familiar with the water and could not cross the river. They could only watch their own tribesmen being defeated and their nobles being killed.

Yelling loudly on the riverside.

Guan Yu and Taishi Ci led the cavalry to charge repeatedly, completely depriving the Huns of their resistance.

Seeing this, Taishi Ci shouted, "Who among the army can speak the Xiongnu language? Quickly persuade the Xiongnu to surrender. Anyone who puts down their weapons and bows and arrows will not be killed. If they still want to resist, they will be killed."

After asking several times, he found that no one in the army could speak the Hun language.

He had to take a short breath before continuing to lead his troops to charge.

Taishi Ci felt a little sad in his heart. The Huns came to Heshuo but couldn't understand Luo language and couldn't even say "surrender".

Did they still expect the Han army rushing over from Qingzhou to speak the Xiongnu language to persuade them to surrender?
Kill them first, don't say anything, wait until the infantry of the first landing camp arrives and then see. But after a while, the infantry rushed to the battlefield, their faces were full of astonishment.

What appeared before his eyes was a ground covered in blood, corpses of Hu people, and a Hun who was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bladder and sat paralyzed on the ground.

Fortunately, there were soldiers in the team who understood the Xiongnu language and shouted at them to surrender, and they were finally able to walk out from among the piled up livestock corpses.

The cavalry ended their charge, Guan Yu and Taishi Ci rested for a moment, and then led the cavalry to march north along the river without stopping.

The soldiers who first arrived at the camp took over the surrendered soldiers left behind by the cavalry, burned the bridge with kerosene and cleaned up the battlefield.

The bodies of the Huns were buried in pits, and the dead cattle and sheep were dealt with separately.

Soldiers in Qingzhou seldom had the chance to eat good meat. The only time they ate meat was when they went on an expedition, which was more than when they were farming at home.

Liu Bei, who was marching behind, heard the scout report that Guan Yu and Taishi Ci led two hundred cavalrymen to defeat more than a thousand Huns, and were now continuing to move north to seize the two bridges. He could not help but feel surprised and happy.

"Good! You are worthy of being Yunchang and Ziyi." Liu Bei clapped his hands and praised.

So he ordered the soldiers to change their route. There was no need to go to the banks of the Huan River at this moment. They could take the opportunity to attack Yuan’s camp directly. Two thousand auxiliary soldiers immediately marched to the northwest.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yuan's soldiers who rushed to rescue the Huns also fought with the Jia Camp.

Then they were beaten until they cried for their parents. Two or three thousand people could not stand such brutal fighting and were directly defeated by the Armored Battalion.

The military officer of Yuan's army quickly ordered his men to sound the horn and wave the flags to retreat. However, during the retreat, they were chased by the Qingzhou army and their retreat turned into a rout.

In fact, if they kept running a little longer, the soldiers of the Armored Battalion would be exhausted.

But their rout aroused the soldiers' desire to win medals and rewards.

Holding his last breath, he chased after the enemy all the way to the end.

The supporting troops of Yuan Jun fled from the front to the main camp.

The defeated soldiers shouted again and again: "Open the camp quickly!"

"Fuck him, if you don't open it, I'm going to force my attack."

Many people were cursing.

The soldiers who stayed behind were undecided and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the military officer leading the Yuan army came back on horseback and said hurriedly, "Open the gate quickly to meet the enemy!"

"The Qingzhou army is exhausted. Quickly send the withdrawn soldiers back to the camp to rest. You will follow me to defeat the enemy. Move quickly."

The garrisoned soldiers then opened the camp, and at this moment, a deafening sound of horse hooves came from behind. The military officer looked back and was immediately terrified to see hundreds of cavalrymen rushing towards them.

The defeated soldiers rushed in madly and blocked the gate of the village again.

If the military officer can see it, then the soldiers can certainly see it too. No one is stupid.

If we don't rush into the camp quickly, we will be dead when the enemy cavalry arrives.

Whoever can get in first will survive, and the soldiers are fighting like crazy to stay alive.

The military officer saw that his men were in such a mess that even he had no chance to squeeze into the camp. He looked at the Qingzhou cavalry who were approaching, and finally gritted his teeth and rode away on his horse.

He no longer cared about his soldiers.

Liu Xuande came with great force and even the famous general Yan Liang from Hebei was defeated by him. He was just an ordinary military officer and could not defeat Liu Bei.

As long as I'm still alive, the worst that can happen is that I ask the clan leader to plead for me with Mr. Yuan.
