I did it all for the Han Dynasty!

Chapter 304 The Bravery of the Southerners (Fourth Update)
Just as Zhu Huan had predicted.

Upon hearing the news, Yuan's troops immediately moved in and surrounded the area.

At noon, Zhu Huan saw the banner of Guo Yuan, a general of Yuan's army.

By this time, all five hundred-plus chariots had been transported to the north bank and piled up in a crescent shape, providing Zhu Huan with a place to stand.

Zhu Huan put his armor back on, and finally felt no more cold.

The other soldiers were either fully prepared or their undergarments were still damp, but they had no time to care about such things.

Because Yuan's army's attack has already begun!
Guo Yuan clearly knew that in this kind of battle, he could not give Zhu Huan any extra time to prepare his camp. So as soon as he arrived, the attack followed immediately, giving Zhu Huan no time to delay or rest!
Yuan Jun's infantry surrounded them from all sides, and their numbers were several times that of Zhu Huan's soldiers!

"Use the chariots as a shield and extend your long spears!"

The specially modified tank had only a small opening at the front.

At Zhu Huan's command, countless spears and lances immediately emerged from the cave, aimed at the enemy.

At this moment, Huang Zhong, who was still on the warship in the river, was also ready to go.

With his height advantage, Huang Zhong could easily oversee the overall situation and provide effective archery support to Zhu Huan.

Moreover, they also brought dozens of Han crossbows, which were neatly arranged in the center of the camp.

Hold this camp at all costs to ensure that the rest of the army can be continuously transported to Hedong!
Even if it means dying in battle, we must achieve this goal!
In fact, Zhu Huan didn't need to say much more.

Once Yuan's army breaks through this city wall built of chariots, they will be able to easily drive Zhu Huan's troops into the river to feed the fish!
This battle is now a do-or-die situation!
As Yuan's army gradually approached, Huang Zhong's archers, along with the Han crossbowmen in the center of the camp, began to exert their strength.

Countless arrows rained down like the sky!
The treatment that Taishi Ci and Zhang Liao received in Puban was perfectly replicated by Zhu Huan and Huang Zhong on Yuan Jun.

The unexpected rain of arrows made Yuan's army hesitate, but Guo Yuan said, "Now that the enemy is crossing the river, it has already taken a lot of time to transport those chariots and Han crossbows, where can we bring many crossbowmen?"

"Continue the attack! Anyone who retreats will be executed!"

Guo Yuan was also a famous general in Bingzhou. He contributed to the pacification of Heishan, the sweeping of Huanglong, and the killing of Zuo Zizhangba. Therefore, Guo Yuan quickly saw through Zhu Huan's true strength and weakness.

As Guo Yuan predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.

Because transporting the chariots took too long, Zhu Huan did not have time to bring in a large number of crossbow bolts, and soon found himself in dire need of supplies.

Once the Han crossbow lost its arrows, its power naturally declined sharply.

When Yuan Jun saw that Zhu Huan had only been strong for a short while, he was overjoyed and attacked Zhu Huan.

Without the suppression of the Han crossbows, Yuan's army quickly made their way to the vicinity of the chariots.

However, Yuan Jun soon discovered how troublesome this ancient artifact was.

Its thick defenses prevented it from being penetrated by crossbows.

Zhu Huan's soldiers, on the other hand, were able to extend their spears and lances to attack Yuan's army from the front, the sides, and even under their chariots!

"Damn it, who caused this ancestor to be born?"

Guo Yuan naturally recognized the chariot.

However, he really didn't expect that Liu Miao would be able to turn this thing that had been outdated for hundreds of years into a treasure, turning it into a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns!

Yuan Jun's offensive was clearly hampered. Just as Guo Yuan was about to personally go forward to supervise the battle, he saw an arrow rushing from the warship in the middle of the river, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, and piercing through a captain who was only a hundred paces away from him!
Guo Yuan's hands and feet immediately turned ice cold.

Is it a coincidence? Or...

"call out!"

As Huang Zhong killed another officer in Yuan's army, Guo Yuan swallowed hard, filled with awe. Whose subordinate was that on the ship, so brave and fierce?

The ship was probably more than 300 paces away from here. How could someone be able to shoot such a powerful and incredibly accurate arrow at such a distance?

Guo Yuan was intimidated by Huang Zhong's archery skills. Instead of stepping forward to supervise the battle, he took a few steps back to avoid being hit by Huang Zhong's arrows.

Although Guo Yuan did not step forward, the Yuan army that kept surging in from all sides still made it difficult for Zhu Huan to breathe.

Even with chariots as a means of support, the strength and willpower of soldiers have their limits.

Soon, Yuan's soldiers opened a small gap from the east, and the Yuan army behind them swarmed in.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Huan immediately drew his sword and charged forward, engaging the Yuan army that had broken through the gap in their ranks in battle.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers quickly came to help Zhu Huan suppress the enemy.

But Yuan's soldiers were also eager to be the first to go.

They were scared too.

To the soldiers, the chariot was like a ferocious monster, and no one wanted to face it.

Now that the breach has been opened, people are naturally rushing in, wave after wave, like endless ocean waves!
"no!"

Zhu Huan kicked a Yuan soldier to the ground, then thrust his blade into the soldier's collar and killed him instantly.

But often, killing one Yuan soldier would lead to even more Yuan soldiers rushing forward.

If this continues, this opening will become the beginning of completely tearing apart the camp!
Zhu Huan commanded his personal guards—

"Go! Bring over the Han crossbows, and fire as many bolts as you have left!"

"Bring me torches too, and give these Yuan soldiers a good beating!"

The chariots were already soaked in water, so they were not afraid of fire attacks.

But Yuan Jun's troops were all made of flesh, and they were quickly burned beyond recognition, with a fragrant aroma wafting out from them.

Zhu Huan was overjoyed and was about to completely squeeze out these Yuan soldiers and close the gap when a Yuan soldier with half of his body on fire suddenly sprang up and charged at Zhu Huan!

Zhu Huan never imagined that Yuan's soldiers would have such courage.
Half of his body was on fire, yet he still managed to rush over and stab himself. Is that something a human could do?
Zhu Huan quickly raised his arm to block, but the knife was too powerful and continued to slash down after being blocked by his arm, slashing half of Zhu Huan's cheek.

"General!"

Only then did the guards belatedly realize what was happening, swarming forward and hacking the man to pieces before finally showing concern for Zhu Huan.

"Don't worry about me! Drive Yuan's army out!"

Zhu Huan could feel the intense pain on his face, but he still lowered his arm and glared fiercely at Yuan Jun.

When Yuan Jun saw that Zhu Huan's face was covered in blood, yet he still raised his sword to kill them, they were all dumbfounded. How could they dare to confront Zhu Huan?
Zhu Huan personally wielded a knife to drive them away, and they almost ran outside the chariot. Their momentum was like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable!

As a result of this incident, the morale of Yuan's troops in other areas also dropped significantly.

Upon seeing this, Guo Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Are there really such brave and fierce people among the southerners?"

Unfortunately, Guo Yuan also realized this at this time.

With only his troops, he feared it would be insufficient to defeat Zhu Huan and drive him down the river.

"We can only wait for the eldest son's reinforcements to arrive before defeating and capturing him alive!"
