Meanwhile, the Han troops led by Shejinlu were still desperately resisting the attacks of the three reinforcements, and they had run out of arrows.

The Han vassal army, originally numbering seven thousand, also lost more than four thousand men. If they hadn't had nowhere else to retreat, they would probably have collapsed long ago.

Of course, the losses of the Himitai allied forces were more severe. Of the 17,000 men in the Himitai tribe, more than 4,000 were killed. Of the 8,000 men in Cangjituo, more than 2,000 were killed. Guishan Valley also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

The soldiers on both sides were still fighting desperately for the gate, with corpses lying all around.

Shejin Ritsu killed a Japanese soldier who charged at him, wiped the blood from his face, and looked back with great anxiety in his eyes.

According to the original plan, Cao Cao and his men should have arrived long ago, but why is there still no sign of them?

"Did they abandon me?"

With these thoughts in mind, a hint of despair appeared in Shijin Ritsu's eyes.

Suddenly, in Shizutsu Ritsu's line of sight, a large banner with Chinese characters appeared in the distance behind Himidae, rapidly approaching them.

Immediately afterwards, a Han army banner appeared behind the Guishan Valley tribe and the Cangjituo tribe.

"Haha~, brothers, the Han reinforcements have arrived! Kill!!"

Upon seeing the Han army's banner, Shejinlu burst into laughter and led his men to attack the charging Japanese soldiers.

The soldiers of the Han army were also greatly encouraged, and in their despair, they unleashed a terrifying power, once again driving out the Japanese soldiers who had rushed into the camp.

The commanders of the three Himidae tribes also noticed the Han army coming from behind, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.

Because the Han army was coming from the direction where they were stationed, and the black smoke rising from the direction of the camp indicated that their camp had been lost.

Most importantly, the Han army had blocked their retreat, leaving them with no hope of escape!

Commander Cangjituo looked at Commander Himitai and asked urgently, "What should we do?"

"The Han army is coming in three routes, but their numbers are definitely small. Immediately gather all forces and break through to the north!!"

With that, the commander of the Himidae tribe withdrew his troops from the attack on the Han vassal army and then charged north.

Upon seeing this, the leaders of Cangjituo and Guishan Valley also hurriedly summoned their subordinates to follow.

Inside the camp, Shejinlu, seeing the three allied forces had completely withdrawn, immediately understood their intentions and shouted loudly:

"Warriors, they're trying to escape! Slay the enemy and earn glory! Follow me and fight!"

"kill!!"

The remaining Han soldiers roared and, with their bloodshot eyes wide open, followed Shejinlu as they charged out of the camp.

During their training with the Han army, these soldiers of Han vassal states learned about the military merit system and naturally longed to kill enemies, earn merit, receive rewards, and change their fate.

Soon, the soldiers of these Han-controlled troops caught up with the Guishan Valley troops who were running behind and began a chaotic massacre.

The Guishan Valley soldiers, already on the verge of collapse, were thrown into chaos. All the soldiers ran forward even more desperately, rushing into the ranks of the Cangjituo tribe and slowing down their escape.

Commander Himidai, who was running at the forefront, also noticed the commotion behind him. He did not expect that Shijinri, who had only two thousand men left, would dare to rush out of the camp to pursue their more than twenty thousand men.

However, seeing the Han army's banner closing in from afar, Commander Himida abandoned the idea of ​​turning back. There was no time to lose; only by breaking through the encirclement as soon as possible could they secure a chance of survival.

With this in mind, Himita immediately gave the order to quicken the pace of their march.

Soon, the Himitai tribe had distanced itself considerably from the Turtle Valley and Cangjituo tribes, who were caught in the chaos.

After traveling for a while, as the banner with the Chinese character "Han" drew ever closer to the north, Commander Himida gripped his weapon tightly.

Below the banner, three figures also took the lead and rushed to the front.

"Haha, these guys are really bold, actually thinking of breaking through from here?"

Looking at the densely packed Japanese soldiers ahead, Zhang Fei on the left couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Guan Yu, holding his broadsword, remained silent, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Commander Himidai.

"Then let's give him a big gift!"

Sun Jian's lips curled slightly upward, and then he raised his weapon, signaling the entire army to halt.

After the soldiers stopped, without Sun Jian giving any orders, the archers behind them stood in a row with their crossbows in hand, aiming their bolts at the approaching Japanese soldiers.

Soon, the Himitai soldiers, who were running at the forefront, came within 150 paces of the Han army.

"Release the arrows!!"

With a loud shout from Sun Jian, a series of crossbow bolts clicked, and countless sharp arrows shot straight towards the Japanese soldiers.

In an instant, the Japanese soldiers running at the forefront let out painful cries as they fell to the ground, struck by arrows.

"Don't be afraid, keep charging!!"

Upon seeing this, Commander Himita roared and led his soldiers to continue charging forward, attempting to rush over and engage the Han army in hand-to-hand combat before the second volley of fire.

However, these Imperial Guard trainees were obviously faster at loading crossbow bolts. Just as the Japanese soldiers ran within fifty paces, they had already changed their bolts and fired another volley.

This time, the distance was closer, and the casualties on the Japanese soldiers were even greater, with nearly 700 Japanese soldiers falling in pools of blood.

"Keep pushing!!"

Seeing this, Commander Himita led his soldiers to continue charging forward.

Although the Han army's crossbow bolts terrified the Japanese soldiers, they also knew that if they couldn't break through, they would die.
