Faced with the attack of thousands of people on the cliff, Wang Han slammed a pair of large hammers into the ground, grabbed a cavalryman in each hand, and lifted him directly above his head to block him.
"Pfft pfft pfft..." The two unlucky cavalrymen were used as shields by Wang Han, and the next moment they were riddled with arrows and bullets from the cliff.
The attacks from the cliff continued unabated. Helpless, Wang Han had no choice but to abandon the golden hammer that had been lying on the ground, grab two corpses with both hands to shield his head, and charge into the cavalry.
After charging into the cavalry formation, Wang Han seized a lance from one of the cavalrymen, hardened it, and killed seventeen or eighteen cavalrymen around him with a series of thrusts and slashes.
Then, even though Wang Han was in the cavalry, the attack from the cliff did not stop, and even their own cavalry were caught in the crossfire.
Left with no other choice, Wang Han picked up another corpse, holding it in one hand and wielding his spear with the other. He used basic spear techniques such as thrusting, stabbing, and slashing, continuing to fight his way out of the canyon. No one could get close to him, but Wang Han's speed had noticeably slowed down.
…………………………………………
On the cliff, watching the soldiers die one after another, Liu Yan and the foreign generals felt their hearts bleed. Some of these soldiers were killed by Marquis Dingshan, but most were killed by the overwhelming attacks from the soldiers on the cliff. These soldiers were all their people and confidants. Every one of them who died was one less to lose.
But they had no choice. They couldn't stop the soldiers in the canyon from their suicidal actions. They had just witnessed how difficult it was to kill Marquis Dingshan with attacks from the cliffs alone, and they dared not let the soldiers on the cliffs stop attacking. Marquis Dingshan was capable of killing ten thousand men single-handedly. Even if tens of thousands of men blocked his path, without the soldiers on the cliffs to keep him occupied and prevent him from being overwhelmed, Marquis Dingshan could very well break through. (Because there were three paths, only tens of thousands of men were blocking one path. Fighting one's way out and annihilating the enemy were two different things.) If Marquis Dingshan left alive, the price would be unbearable for all of them.
…………………………………………
The battle in the canyon continued. Wang Han had advanced several hundred meters while carrying a corpse in one hand and killing with the other. The number of soldiers killed or wounded was no less than ten thousand.
Watching their comrades fall one after another, the soldiers grew increasingly terrified and fearful with each battle, facing encirclement and attacks, as well as a dense barrage of arrows and projectiles from the soldiers on the cliff. Even under such circumstances, the Marquis of Dingshan remained unscathed. Their hearts began to falter, doubting that this was merely a pointless suicide mission, that they could not possibly kill the Marquis of Dingshan, and some soldiers were even too afraid to advance.
"I've hurt him! I've hurt him!" a soldier suddenly shouted excitedly. On Wang Han's arm, there was a half-foot-long wound, deep enough to expose the bone, and it was bleeding bright red blood. It was caused by a spear.
When Wang Han saw the soldier who had wounded him roar, he immediately thrust his spear through the soldier's throat. Unfortunately, it was too late.
"He's wounded!" Seeing Wang Han's arm bleeding, the soldiers in front shouted excitedly, their courage renewed. The fact that Marquis Dingshan was wounded meant that he was still human, still capable of injury and death; they weren't without a chance of victory.
After Wang Han was injured, the dark clouds gathering in the sky began to slow down, as if the will of the Three Kingdoms world did not want to easily make a move in front of the army.
"It seems my guess was right after all. The World Will can't just act whenever it wants; it seems it doesn't want or can't let people know of its existence, and can't act easily." Wang Han noticed the changes in the black cloud. The reason Wang Han had this guess was because of the rumored time traveler Wang Mang and the chosen one Liu Xiu.
Wang Han was certain that the World Will had indeed intervened, but it did not directly kill Wang Mang or destroy his regime. Instead, it secretly helped Liu Xiu defeat Wang Mang and concealed its existence. Wang Han even speculated that the World Will had deliberately guided the figures who had appeared in the world and were said to be ghosts and gods, such as the mysterious Guiguzi and the Immortal of Nanhua.
As for the previous world, Wang Han guessed that the World Will intervened because he had destroyed the entire Japanese nation; the destruction was so horrific that the World Will had no choice but to immediately eliminate him. As for whether the World Will could actually intervene, Wang Han had no doubt, because when he used the Meteor Shower to attack the Left Wise King's tribe on the grasslands, the World Will had almost intervened, but either hadn't noticed, or had noticed but hadn't confirmed it was him. This was all Wang Han could speculate on; he would have to continue exploring in the future.

On the cliff.
Hearing the soldiers shouting excitedly in the canyon, Liu Yan also became excited and ordered, "Give it your all, we'll kill him soon. As long as we kill Marquis Dingshan, everyone will be richly rewarded."
However, things did not go as smoothly as Liu Yan had hoped. Although Marquis Dingshan was injured, a tiger is still a tiger. Even though his injuries affected his movements, he was still full of fighting power.
Although Wang Han was injured one after another, none of them were fatal, and he was not yet at his last gasp. The soldiers in the canyon also suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses on the canyon road had piled up for several meters.

"My lord, the oil used to ambush other positions has been brought over, and the oil has been lit on the rocks blocking the exit," Zhang Lu said with some reluctance. Once the oil is poured, countless soldiers in the canyon will be set ablaze; at the very least, all the soldiers blocking Wang Han's path will be burned.
