Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, the officers of the allied forces were speechless and unsure how to respond.
They turned a winning battle into a losing one; it's truly shameful!
If Liu Bei hadn't intervened in time and driven the Gallic army away again with stones, they might have been driven back to the sea.
For a moment, the officers who had come to question him also lowered their heads in shame.
Seeing the officers' expressions, Liu Bei's tone softened: "Alright, you all stay here and keep an eye on the ships. Leave the rest to us!"
An officer's expression shifted: "Brother Liu, the enemy has over 40,000 men, while you only have 20,000..."
"Those are nothing but a rabble, not worth mentioning!"
Liu Bei chuckled lightly, then turned and led his army to attack the Gallic army.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian army, led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, caught up with the Gallic army first.
Seeing that the number of enemy soldiers catching up was small, the Gallic army turned around and attempted to drive the enemy back again.
However, this time, the Gallic army ran into a brick wall.
Although the Egyptian army numbered only 10,000, these men were all carefully trained by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and many of their junior and middle-ranking officers were selected from the fighting arena.
With the financial and logistical support provided by Liu Bei over the past few years, these Egyptian soldiers were almost all exceptionally fierce and strong.
The fighting power of the entire legion was far superior to that of the allied soldiers.
While he might not be able to take on ten men, he could certainly take on five.
The moment the two sides clashed, the difference in skill was immediately apparent!
Led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the Egyptian soldiers, like a flock of beasts pouncing on a flock of sheep, almost unanimously slaughtered the Gallic army.
The battle lasted only a short while before thousands of Gallic soldiers were killed.
The morale of the Gallic army also plummeted instantly.
Especially when they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were like demons slaughtering everyone in their path, many Gallic soldiers were terrified and retreated in all directions.
At the same time, Gao Shun led 10,000 Arab soldiers to attack and began to cooperate with the Egyptian soldiers in massacring the Gallic soldiers.
Faced with the fierce Egyptian and Arab armies, the Gallic soldiers were also slaughtered and forced to retreat.
With the fire already burning in the rear camp, many Gallic soldiers lost the will to continue fighting.
A Gallic soldier, seeing Guan Yu charging towards him, trembled involuntarily and turned to flee without a second thought.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Gallic soldiers also turned and fled.
As these soldiers fled, more and more Han soldiers joined the fleeing ranks.
Soon, the entire Gallic army collapsed completely, and all the soldiers fled to the rear without regard for their own safety.
At this moment, no one was thinking about how to kill the enemy anymore; all they could think about was running faster than their comrades.
Seeing that Liu Bei, commanding only 20,000 men, so easily defeated the Gallic army of more than 40,000, the allied soldiers standing on the shore were also shocked.
"Brothers, follow me!!"
Seeing this, Zhang Fei immediately roared and picked up his spear to chase after the fleeing Gallic army.
"Third brother, wait a minute!!"
Just then, Liu Bei, who had caught up, called out to Zhang Fei in time.
Zhang Fei's face darkened with anxiety: "Brother, the enemy has been defeated. If we take this opportunity to pursue them, we're sure to reap great rewards!"
Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist: "Hey, we've come here not just to kill the enemy. Those Gallic soldiers are still useful to us. Let's keep them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll do whatever you say, Big Brother!"
Liu Bei smiled, then looked at the messenger beside him and pointed to the allied soldiers on the shore, "Go, tell that guy to come over and clean up the battlefield!"
"yes!"
The messenger agreed and then quickly ran towards the sea.
The allied soldiers who received Liu Bei's order recovered from their shock and rushed toward the battlefield and the burning camp.
These Allied soldiers, though not very good at fighting, were exceptionally diligent in cleaning up the battlefield and putting out fires.
Within two hours, the battlefield was cleared and the fire in the Gallic camp was extinguished.
According to statistics, the Egyptian and Arab legions suffered a total of about 1,000 casualties in this battle, while the coalition forces suffered about 4,000 casualties.
They killed more than 8,000 enemy soldiers, 90% of whom were killed by Egyptian and Arab legions.
Although most of the enemy camp was burned down, a large amount of food and supplies were still captured.
The victories of the Egyptian Legion and the Arab Army thoroughly shocked all the coalition soldiers, making them truly feel the gap in strength.
After tidying up the enemy camp, Liu Bei led his army into the enemy camp.
That night, while ordering people to prepare a victory banquet, Liu Bei also gathered all his generals and soldiers together to begin the process of rewarding them for their merits.
As promised, Liu Bei distributed gold coins to the soldiers who killed enemy soldiers according to the number of enemies each person killed.
As for those who fought and scrambled for heads on the battlefield, Liu Bei showed no mercy and ordered them to be beaten with military sticks.
Several Allied officers were also punished to varying degrees for their poor command.
The officers did not complain or show any dissatisfaction with Liu Bei's punishment.
Liu Bei's formidable strength, his humble yet ruthless personality, his decisive command style, and his clear system of rewards and punishments have completely won over everyone in the allied forces.
