My father-in-law Guan Yu, I persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang at the beginn

"Look! Those are cavalry! They're cavalry!"

This exclamation was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The reinforcements have finally arrived!
On the battlefield, Yin Feng's voice trembled with extreme fear, and his face was as pale as paper.

His eyes widened, and he pointed in the direction of the approaching cavalry, shouting to Jiang Xu beside him:
"General Jiang, look! The Han army reinforcements have arrived!"

Jiang Xu was still immersed in his previous assessment of the situation when he heard Yin Feng's shout, and he subconsciously turned his head.

This sight left him speechless, his expression filled with astonishment.

His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, Jiang Xu finally came to his senses and muttered to himself:
"How could this be? How could the Han reinforcements have arrived so quickly? This is a whole hour earlier than I expected!"

"Could it be that Xiao He anticipated my feigned breakout and sent cavalry to rescue me in advance?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xu's face became even more pale, and a feeling of sorrow and despair welled up in his heart.

"Am I... destined to die here today?"

Meanwhile, within the Han camp, Liao Hua and Ding Feng also noticed the cavalry rushing towards them like a black torrent on the Wei River.

Liao Hua was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned his head sharply to look at Ding Feng beside him:

"The Grand Marshal's reinforcements have arrived? So quickly!"

Ding Feng gave a cold laugh, his eyes revealing disdain for the enemy:
"The Grand Marshal must have anticipated that the Wei army intended to launch a surprise attack on our grain camp, so he sent troops to reinforce us in advance. That fool Jiang Xu dared to show off his limited skills in front of the Grand Marshal. He is truly overestimating himself, pathetic and laughable!"

Upon hearing Ding Feng's words, Liao Hua's spirits lifted immediately. He gripped his long sword tightly and shouted:

"Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived! What are we afraid of? Follow me and fight our way out, slaughter all the Wei traitors!"

Upon hearing Liao Hua's shout, the morale of the Han generals soared instantly.

Thousands of soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted loudly, their voices deafening, as if they were about to overturn the entire battlefield.

The morale of the Han army reached its peak at this moment, and their eyes burned with the flames of battle.

Meanwhile, the Wei army was in a state of extreme panic.

They originally thought they could take advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack, but they did not expect the Han cavalry to arrive so quickly, catching them completely off guard.

The Han cavalry advanced swiftly, like an unstoppable whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, they traversed the ice and rushed to the front of the Wei army's formation.

The iron cavalry, like ferocious wild beasts, swept towards the Wei army with overwhelming force.

At this moment, the Wei army was completely unprepared, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, utterly exposed to the Han army's might.

The iron cavalry charged into the Wei army's formation in an instant, breaking the Wei soldiers in half.

Blood spurted out, and screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

The Wei soldiers were knocked down and crushed by the Han cavalry; their bodies were torn to pieces under the iron hooves, and blood flowed like a river.

Before the Wei army could react, their formation was shattered.

Guan Suo and other generals tore the Wei army to shreds in the blink of an eye, brandishing their weapons and charging through the Wei army's ranks.

Wherever they went, Wei soldiers fell one after another.

"Brother Jiang, what should we do? What should we do?" Yin
Looking at the horrific scene before him, Feng cried out in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Xu then snapped out of his shock. He glanced around and saw that the Wei army was in complete chaos, with soldiers screaming and howling.

At that moment, he realized that preserving his life was the best course of action.

Without thinking twice, he shouted:

"What else is there to ask? Retreat! The entire army retreats to Jicheng!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Yin Feng hurriedly spurred his warhorse and fled westward.

Five thousand Wei soldiers were routed and fled under the powerful offensive of the Han army.

They scurried around like headless flies.

Unfortunately, where could they possibly escape?
The Han army dispatched 20,000 cavalry, while the Wei army consisted of 1,000 cavalry and the rest of infantry.

How can two legs outrun four legs?
The Wei soldiers were relentlessly pursued and crushed by the Han cavalry, who, like a swift wind, relentlessly pursued them.

The banks of the Wei River were stained crimson with blood. Jiang Xu and Yin Feng, leading a thousand cavalrymen, fled at full speed, frantically whipping their horses, hoping to shake off the Han cavalry behind them as soon as possible.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief as he was about to shake off the Han cavalry behind him.

Just as they were about to cross the ice river, a troop of iron cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them and pressed forward again.

The "Zhao" flag fluttered in the wind, illuminated by the firelight.

The first rider, like a white lightning bolt, crashed head-on into the Wei cavalry. Wherever he went, the Wei soldiers who blocked his way fell down like wheat being harvested.

"Zhao Yun?"

Jiang Xu and Yin Feng simultaneously cried out in fear, their faces turning deathly pale as if they had seen the Grim Reaper.

The Han general ahead is none other than Zhao Yun.

Seeing the Wei army fleeing, he felt no pity and charged into their ranks first.

The spear in his hand was like a silver dragon, soaring up and down, splattering blood wherever it went.

The Han cavalry then charged in from behind, instantly disrupting the thousand Wei cavalry.

The Wei cavalry were already demoralized, and when they were attacked by the Han cavalry, they were thrown into chaos.

"Wei dog, where do you think you're going!"

Zhao Yun spurred his horse, spear in hand, and charged toward Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu suddenly looked up and was surprised to see that Zhao Yun had rushed up to him.

A chill ran down his spine, as if he could smell the scent of death.

Jiang Xu knew better than anyone how strong Zhao Yun was. He was no match for Zhao Yun at all, so how could he be worthy of fighting Zhao Yun?
escape!
At this moment, only this one word was in Jiang Xu's mind.

However, Zhao Yun's attack was too fast, and he had no time to escape.

Left with no other choice, he had to fight to the death.

"Jiang Xu, where do you think you're going to run to!"

Zhao Yun's roar rang out like a thunderclap, making Jiang Xu's eardrums ache.

Almost simultaneously, the silver spear in his hand, with its sharp momentum, slammed down.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Xu gritted his teeth and swung his sword to defend himself.

The two riders collided head-on with a loud crash.

The two weapons clashed, sparks flying.

Immediately afterwards, a metallic clang rang out, like the tolling of a death knell.

Then, a painful scream rang out, sending chills down everyone's spine.

A long sword flew out of his hand, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

With a single strike from Zhao Yun, Jiang Xu's longsword fell from his hand, he spat out blood, and his body flew backward.

"boom!"

The massive, mangled body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Xu was so easily defeated; in front of Zhao Yun, he was as insignificant as an ant.

Jiang Xu landed with a bloody head and broken bones.

He lay on the ground, his eyes filled with horror and resentment, struggling to get up and run away.

"You still want to escape?"

Just as he straightened up, Zhao Yun was already standing in front of him.

The blood-dripping gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.

Jiang Xu's body stiffened, and he dared not move an inch.

He knew he had reached a dead end; he had no chance against Zhao Yun. (End of Chapter)
