My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 257 is about killing the White-Robed Army!

The scout's words were true.

Gao Yu only glanced at it briefly, but the enemy's camp stretched endlessly, with no end in sight.

Ultimately, they claimed to have 300,000 people; they wouldn't dare to call out such a number if the scale wasn't large enough.

It should be noted that this is only a part of the Southern Liang Northern Expeditionary Army. The vanguard is currently capturing the river bridge, while the largest central army should still be located further east, having just crossed the Luo River and is slowly advancing in this direction.

Gao Yu reined in his horse, looked around, and pointed with his whip at the military camp that stretched as far as the eye could see in the distance. "How magnificent it is!" he exclaimed.

Gao Ang and the others also reined in their horses and watched. The scene was indeed very oppressive. Those with less courage would probably feel fear upon seeing this and completely lose the will to resist.

"However, I see the hidden dangers. With such lax discipline, no matter how many people there are, they are nothing more than a rabble!"

Gao Yu chuckled lightly, "Gentlemen, do you dare to continue with me? I want to see who is leading the vanguard of this allied forces."

No one objected.

Gao Yu laughed heartily, then swung his whip again, urging his horse forward.

The other four men followed on horseback, galloping towards the enemy camp.

Six li, five li, four li, three li!
Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any enemy scouts along the way. Da Xiwu's face was grave, and he couldn't contain himself, so he advised, "General, why don't we capture a few prisoners here and question them? If we go any further... we might be heading straight for the enemy camp."

He turned his head to the side, but instead of getting a reply from Gao Yu, he saw Gao Ang's extremely contemptuous and disdainful expression and gaze.

"Such a cowardly person should simply turn his horse around."

Da Xiwu's face turned bright red. When he saw that Peng Le showed no fear and She Digan remained expressionless, his pride was severely wounded.

Gao Yu glanced at Gao Ang; he's integrating very quickly.

Under Gao Yu's careful training, the Xuanjia Army has developed an almost 'abnormal' sense of honor.

Especially when they were fighting on the battlefield, wherever Gao Yu went, they went. Anyone who was cowardly or afraid would be despised by their comrades.

Gao Ang had clearly become familiar with the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army during this period and had been assimilated.

Gao Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, let's keep going!"

Only two miles from the enemy camp, passing a small hill, we could already clearly see the soldiers moving about inside the camp.

Just as Gao Yu was about to continue observing, he heard a series of rapid hoofbeats and angry shouts from not far away.

Follow the sound.

Several riders dressed in white robes were seen riding over.

Before anyone could react, Gao Yu had already taken a bow in one hand and pulled several arrows from his quiver with the other. He barely aimed and fired the arrows at an extremely fast speed!
Whoosh whoosh.

He fired all the arrows in his hand in rapid succession.

in a blink!
Four riders immediately fell to the ground and were shot off their horses, while the remaining riders were terrified!
What surprised them even more was...

Instead of turning and running away, Gao Yu shouted loudly, "I am Gao Yu, the General of Chariots and Cavalry appointed by the Emperor of Great Wei! Rebel army, come quickly and face your death!"

Now, let alone Daxi Wu.

Peng Le, Gao Ang, and the others were all stunned and looked at Gao Yu in astonishment. Are you serious?

Why would someone run to the gate of another's camp and announce their identity?
Upon hearing this, the riders were all shocked and immediately turned around and ran back to the camp. Gao Yu's angry shout even attracted the surrounding riders.

Noticing the increasing sound of horses' hooves, Gao Yu finally spoke, "Ao Cao, Cheng Xing, and She Digan, the three of you go back quickly and tell Li Minzhi and Liu Rong about the situation. Cooperate with them to ambush them. Zixing and I will cover your retreat."

"General..."

"I am willing to cover the rear with the general!"

"Go! This is a military order!"

Gao Yu frowned and shouted sternly, "Go now!"

Da Xi Wu gritted his teeth, turned his horse around, and said worriedly, "General, be careful."

Gao Ang glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "Don't die here."

After leaving the arrows in their quiver, the three men immediately turned their horses around and left. Actually, it would have been better to leave Gao Ang behind. He was indeed more valiant than Peng Le, but he had not yet pledged allegiance to them and was ultimately not as loyal as Peng Le, who had followed them since Huai Shuo.

"Zixing, are you afraid?"

Peng Le laughed loudly as well, "With you here, my lord, what do I have to fear? Just as you said, a bunch of rabble, even if they have thousands of troops, they can't do anything to me and the general!"

"it is good!"

Gao Yu shouted loudly again, "I am Gao Yu, the Instructor of Chariots and Cavalry, appointed by the Emperor of Great Wei!"

"I am Gao Yu, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, appointed by the Emperor of the Great Wei!"

The sound was as loud as a bell, clearly reaching the ears of the surrounding riders. Upon hearing it, more and more riders rode their horses toward this place!

The first few scouts had already run back to the military camp. Without bothering to report, they hurriedly came to the main tent.

"General! General!"

Chen Qingzhi was examining a map and formulating the next battle plan. Yuan Hao, Yuwen Luosheng, Xing Gao, and others were also in his tent.

What has made you all so flustered?

"General! Two miles west of the military camp, a man claiming to be Gao Yu, the General of Chariots and Cavalry appointed by the Emperor of Great Wei, has shot and killed several of our brothers."

How many men did he bring?

"Including him, there are five people in total."

"what!"

Everyone looked astonished, and Yuwen Luosheng grabbed them in disbelief, pressing them for an answer, "Is this really true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Chen Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, "A few riders dare to venture so deep? This Gao Yu is quite audacious."

With Yuwen Luosheng's introduction along the way, and the information from their inside agents in Luoyang, they knew that the defense of the entire city of Luoyang was currently in Gao Yu's hands.

Upon learning this news, I gained a more direct understanding of Gao Yu.

"Several riders are coming; it seems like a trap."

"So what if it's a trap? If we can capture them alive, our army can take Luoyang without losing a single soldier!"

A few people went to loiter outside the gate of their army camp, but there was a trap involved.

But so what?
Without further hesitation, Chen Qingzhi hurriedly stepped out of the tent. "Pass on my orders! Quickly don your armor, collect your weapons, mount your horses, and head east to capture the enemy commander. A great reward will be given to whoever can capture or kill the enemy commander!"

He turned back around, "You few lead the way!" "Yes, sir!"

Those who could be stationed in the central army camp were all elite and brave soldiers.

As Chen Qingzhi issued his military order.

In an instant, the soldiers leaped out of the east gate of the camp, forming a mighty force of at least five thousand men, including two thousand of Chen Qingzhi's white-robed soldiers.

The white horse and white robes made him stand out.

The soldiers kept urging their horses forward, and with only a few riders, they could drown Gao Yu and his men with a single spit from each of them.

Thousands of cavalrymen set out from their camp, the sound of their hooves merging together like thunderclaps from a clear sky, shaking the earth and mountains!

Gao Yu could sense its power from afar.

Gao Yu wasn't foolishly standing still waiting for the opposing army to arrive; to be precise, he was walking his dog.

Faced with the pursuit of the enemy cavalry, he continuously displayed his superb archery skills, hitting the bullseye every time. When the enemy cavalry slowed down their pursuit, Gao Yu also adjusted his speed accordingly, maintaining an ambiguous distance that kept him at arm's length, always giving the enemy a chance to capture him alive.

But soon.

The enemy army then caught up!

They immediately unleashed a barrage of arrows upon Gao Yu.

The stray arrows would not cause Gao Yu any damage at all. Moreover, his warhorse was not wearing heavy armor for the sake of mobility, but it was covered with a layer of cowhide. Unless it was shot at close range, the stray arrows falling from the sky could not penetrate the cowhide defense and would not cause any damage to his horse.

Taking advantage of the gap before the pursuing army could unleash a second volley of arrows.

Gao Yu pulled a handful of arrows from his quiver with one hand.

Whoosh whoosh!
Like a machine gun, every arrow fired hit its target accurately.

The difficulty level is different.

Gao Yu ran ahead while the enemy chased behind. Arrows shot from behind could not be fired directly but could only be thrown. In contrast, Gao Yu only needed to turn his head to fire a direct shot.

In such a dense pursuit by an army, if someone fell off their horse from an arrow wound, even if they weren't completely dead, they would be trampled to death by the hooves of their comrades behind them!

Gao Yu quickly emptied his quiver.

The large army behind them continued to pursue relentlessly!
The chase has now reached its most critical moment.

The familiar forest appeared before him. Gao Yu urged his exhausted warhorse to sprint for the last stretch, but its speed had indeed decreased, clearly indicating that it had reached its limit.

"The general has decreed that whoever captures the enemy commander alive will be richly rewarded!"

"Enemy general, do not flee!"

"........."

The pursuing soldiers rushed after Gao Yu, eager for the opportunity to claim the mobile military merit!

however……

"Kill!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar of battle cries echoed throughout the mountains and valleys, so powerful that it startled even the warhorses of the Southern Liang army soldiers.

First came a hail of arrows, which further fueled the riots.

Boom! !

I saw.

Two large armies emerged from the forest on either side, one from the left and one from the right. The pursuing army was like a giant python, while the armies that emerged from the sides were strangling the python's weakest side!

Gao Feng charged ahead, taking the lead!

Holding a horse spear, he moved as if he were in an empty field. No Liang soldier could withstand a single blow from him. Each swing of his horse spear could take away several enemy soldiers!

Da Xi Wu, seemingly unwilling to be outdone, also charged forward wielding a horse spear!
The most unfortunate were actually the soldiers in the middle of the Southern Liang army. Because of the sudden ambush, they were forced to stop, but their comrades who were also galloping behind them did not stop. Despite being comrades, they collided with each other, causing people and horses to fall over. The scene was extremely chaotic. They could not charge forward or retreat, and were thus blocked on the road.

"Your mother, you've been chasing me all the way!"

Cursing and swearing, Peng Le, also holding a lance, turned his horse around and charged alone towards the enemy. The escape had been incredibly frustrating for him!

Gao Yu laughed loudly. He didn't have a horse spear, but he still charged towards the enemy.

A soldier in white robes charged at him. He dodged the thrust by turning to the side on his horse, then gripped the spear shaft with one hand and exerted force!

He forcefully pulled the white-robed soldier off his horse, snatched the lance from his hand, and quickly jumped off, then mounted a new horse, replacing it with a stronger white horse, leaving his exhausted horse behind.

The soldiers in white robes were indeed exceptionally brave.

Even when ambushed, they immediately adjusted and launched a counterattack. However, the others who followed could only make things worse, showing no will to resist. After being terrified by the valiant Xuanjia soldiers, they all ran away without looking back!

Gao Yu completely ignored this rabble; the terrified routs were worse than farmers.

The goal is to focus on eliminating these white-robed soldiers who have the will to resist.

The soldiers in white robes were already among the bravest in the Southern Liang army, but the soldiers in black armor were the bravest of the brave, and the bravest among the fierce northern soldiers, each of them having crawled out of piles of corpses.

It was another ambush.

The relentless pursuit also took a toll on the physical strength of the Southern Liang army soldiers.

They were already more valiant, and with the huge advantage of being well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, plus fierce generals like Gao Ang charging into battle, it was a complete one-sided massacre!
The battle cries of the Xuanjia Army contrasted sharply with the screams and cries of the Southern Liang army.

"Do not pursue the routed troops!"

Gao Yu shouted loudly and then passed on his military orders.

Upon hearing this, the Xuanjia soldiers, who had been fighting with bloodlust, reined in their horses and stopped their pursuit, heading to join Gao Yu.

Only countless ownerless horses remained on the spot, and the ground was littered with corpses, with blood flowing like a river.

Gao Yu was unsure whether a large army was pursuing them from behind, and dared not linger there for too long.

He ordered his soldiers to cut off the left ears of the already dead Southern Liang soldiers, and then captured the white-robed soldiers who were still alive.

The Southern Liang army advanced with unstoppable momentum!
Nursery rhymes have even been sung in Luoyang.

Even the most renowned generals and commanders should not be complacent, for thousands of troops will flee before those in white robes.

He was fighting the white-robed general!
They're arresting the soldiers in white robes!
The reason he risked his life to go and have some fun wasn't simply to show off.

More importantly, it was to appease the people of Luoyang.
