Chapter 1803 One Person Leads All
"die!"
"Go away!"
On the battlefield, Zhao Yu roared continuously, and his bright silver spear turned into a whirlwind of death.
Stab, sweep, pick, or smash! Every shot contains amazing power and exquisite skills, no unnecessary fancy moves, every blow goes straight to the vital point!
A Han army garrison commander tried to organize spearmen to form a formation to block the attack, but Zhao Yu did not give him any chance.
The warhorse suddenly accelerated forward, and before the spear reached his body, his silver spear had already been thrust out like lightning, accurately penetrating the breastplate of the captain and knocking him off his horse!
As soon as the village chief died, the small formation that had just been formed suddenly stagnated.
Zhao Yu took the opportunity to rush in, his spear flying left and right like a dragon stirring up trouble in the sea, and instantly stabbed and swept away four or five spearmen around him!
Blood kept splattering around him, but he turned a blind eye to it. His silver armor had already been stained red by the blood of the enemies, and he looked like a Shura emerging from a sea of blood!
His bravery and strength instantly caused panic and chaos in the Han army's front line.
The Han soldiers had never seen such an unstoppable enemy general, whose charging momentum was no less than that of their Protector of the Country!
The soldiers who tried to besiege him were often shot and fell to the ground before they could even see his movements.
Wherever he rode alone, he plowed a bloody path. The Han army's forward momentum was halted, and the formation became obviously chaotic and sunken!
"Stop him!"
"Fire the arrow quickly!"
The Han army officer shouted anxiously.
But Zhao Yu's horse was extremely fast and he kept changing positions in the crowd, making it difficult for ordinary arrows to aim at him, and it was easy to hurt his own people by mistake.
It was precisely because of his crazy and reckless personal attack that the pressure on the front line of the Chu army, which was about to be overwhelmed by the Han army, was suddenly relieved!
The Chu soldiers in the rear who were originally a little panicked saw that their commander was so brave that he single-handedly killed the Han army's front-line soldiers and their horses were thrown to the ground. Their morale was immediately boosted!
"General Zhao is mighty!"
"Brothers! Follow General Zhao and fight back!"
The joy of surviving a desperate situation and the aroused bloodiness made the Chu army cheer thunderously.
The officers took the opportunity to quickly gather the scattered soldiers and reorganize the defense line. The originally shaky formation was miraculously stabilized temporarily, gaining precious time to breathe and reorganize.
Zhao Yu's single-handed counterattack was like a shot in the arm, which temporarily turned the battle situation that was almost on the verge of collapse around!
He continued to charge left and right in the Han army formation. Although he was surrounded, he was not afraid. Every flash of the bright silver spear represented the death of a Han soldier.
His personal bravery was fully demonstrated at this moment, and deeply shocked the soldiers on both sides of the war.
Zhao Yu's unparalleled bravery of breaking through the enemy's formation alone as if he were in an empty space was like a strong shock wave that severely shook the hearts of the Han army officers and soldiers.
They watched helplessly as the silver-armored Chu general descended like a Shura, throwing people and horses to the ground wherever he passed. The offensive of their own front army was actually contained and dispersed by him alone!
An indescribable horror and brief fear, like an icy tide, quietly spread in the hearts of some Han soldiers.
However, on the contrary, this scene had a subversive effect on the morale of the Chu army!
"General Zhao is mighty!"
"Great Chu will be victorious!"
Witnessing their leader’s heroic deeds, the Chu soldiers, whose front lines were shaky and confused due to the Han army’s desperate counterattack, were instantly injected with boiling blood!
Despair and panic were swept away, replaced by fanatical worship and ignited fighting spirit!
Zhao Yu's bravery became their most solid pillar and the loudest charge horn!
"Brothers! Follow General Zhao and kill! Crush them!" The Chu army officers took the opportunity to roar at the top of their lungs.
"kill!!!"
The Chu army, having regrouped, roared with earth-shaking fury and brandished their weapons. They were no longer on the passive defense, but actively launched a counterattack against the Han army!
At this moment, the advantage of the Chu army's well-equipped equipment was fully utilized.
Their weapons were mostly made of repeatedly forged fine steel, extremely sharp, flashing a deadly cold light under the firelight.
In contrast, many Han soldiers' weapons were just ordinary iron tools, and many were even inferior products that were temporarily requisitioned.
When swords and knives clashed, the weapons of the Han army were often easily knocked open or even cut off directly!
The standard armor worn by the Chu army was far superior to the worn-out and even leather-mixed armor worn by the Han army, in terms of protective area, thickness of the iron leaves, and toughness.
The Han army's swords and spears could often only leave a white mark or a few sparks on the Chu army's armor, making it difficult to cause effective damage.
On the contrary, every slash and thrust of the Chu army's sharp weapons could easily tear through the Han army's thin defense, bringing out a rain of blood.
Relying on the absolute advantage in equipment and the sudden increase in morale, the Chu army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
They worked in groups of three or five, cooperating with each other like efficient killing machines.
The sword and shield soldiers blocked the charge, the spearmen took the opportunity to thrust, and the archers behind them accurately shot at the officers in the Han army formation and the soldiers who tried to organize resistance.
The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly!
Although the Han army had the advantage in numbers, they were forced to retreat step by step under the sudden counterattack of the Chu army, which was doubly strengthened in equipment and morale!
Soldiers at the front line fell down in large numbers, and screams were heard everywhere.
The Chu soldiers were like black reefs, stubbornly withstanding the impact of the Han army's large crowds, and even advanced step by step, trying to divide and encircle the Han army.
The sounds of metal clashing, shouting, and dying wails were deafening. The battle entered its most brutal and intense stage, and lives were lost with every breath.
Huo Quji, who was in command of the central army, saw all of this.
His face was as gloomy as water. Although he was amazed at Zhao Yu's bravery and the superior equipment of the Chu army, he was more filled with anger and cold murderous intent due to being provoked.
"Hmph! A desperate struggle! How long can you hold out relying on your weapons and armor?"
Huo Quji snorted coldly, his voice as cold as ice.
He knew very well that in the face of absolute numerical advantage, individual bravery and short-lived morale would ultimately not last.
He wants to crush the opponent's resistance in the purest and cruelest way!
He suddenly raised the iron spear in his hand, and the sound was like thunder, spreading throughout the entire Han army formation:
"Warriors of the Han! The Chu invaders are at the end of their strength! Follow me—roll over them! Even with our flesh and blood, we can drown them! Kill!"
"Kill!!!" Huo Quji's personal shout once again aroused the bloodiness of the Han army.
Before he finished speaking, Huo Quji took the lead, like an arrow shot from a bow, and personally headed towards the core area where the battle was most intense!
The commander-in-chief led the troops, and the Han soldiers were greatly encouraged. They temporarily suppressed their fear of the superior weapons and armor of the Chu army, and let out a deafening roar. Like a flood breaking through a dam, they launched a more violent attack on the Chu army's line!
This time, it’s a real human wave tactic!
Regardless of casualties, we will continue to fight!
