On the other side, Huang Zhong and his men, along with the Imperial Guards and Northern Army soldiers, had also donned their gleaming armor and appeared at the pass ten miles behind the relic.
"Report!! General! Sheli's 5,000 troops have begun their advance towards Commandant Huangfu's camp!"
"good!"
Huang Zhong then looked at Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Du beside him, and smiled, "It's time for us to go on stage too!"
"Let's go then!"
Gongsun Zan immediately drew his long sword from his waist and stared straight ahead.
Immediately, Huang Zhong and his men led their troops in four groups and sped toward the rear of the Relic's forces.
At this time, Huangfu Song and his 5,000 Youzhou cavalrymen had also changed into Han army equipment and stood in the camp.
When the soldiers under Relic's command were about three miles away from them, Huangfu Song looked at Qiu Liju and the other man, and said in a deep voice:
"Have your men flank them and harass them with mounted archery, trying to disrupt their formation and lure the relic over. Our Han army will stay behind and be responsible for the frontal assault!"
"good!!"
Nanlou and Qiuliju nodded, then opened the gates and let their soldiers rush to the sides of the Northern Wuhuan infantry, while Qiuliju and Nanlou stayed in the camp, by Huangfusong's side.
They were terrified that Huangfu Song would unleash another volley of arrows and take them away.
"Stop them! Kill them!"
Just as the soldiers of the Southern Wuhuan were approaching the two thousand infantrymen, Sheri led the cavalry of the Northern Wuhuan to charge forward and entangled with them, preventing them from harassing the infantrymen who were holding wooden shields.
The infantrymen took the opportunity to speed up and continue their charge toward the camp.
"All troops, mount your horses and follow me out of the camp to meet the enemy!!"
Seeing the thin formation of the infantry, just as the infantry charged to within a mile of the camp, Huangfu Song sneered and then led five thousand Youzhou cavalrymen into the camp, where they were divided into three columns and lined up in a row.
"They are...? Han soldiers?"
Faced with another cavalry force suddenly charging out, the Northern Wuhuan soldiers, holding wooden shields, turned deathly pale.
"Form defensive formation!!"
Faced with the sudden appearance of Youzhou cavalry, a chieftain of the Northern Wuhuan hurriedly shouted, and the Northern Wuhuan infantrymen frantically gathered their wooden shields together to form a wooden wall.
"Youzhou Iron Cavalry, charge!"
"kill!!"
With a loud shout from Huangfu Song, five thousand Youzhou cavalrymen crashed down on the wooden wall below like boulders rolling down a mountain.
The Han soldiers swung their spears with all their might, thrusting them at the wooden shields blocking their way. With a "crack," the spear tips pierced through the shields and struck the foot soldiers behind them.
With the wooden shields breaking and the soldiers screaming, the wooden wall was shattered in an instant, and a one-sided massacre ensued.
"How could this be? Where did these Han soldiers come from?"
When the relic behind him saw the Han cavalry suddenly appear, his face turned deathly pale, and he was momentarily dazed.
"Lord Relic, let's retreat quickly! They'll be here soon if we don't!"
Seeing the Han army slaughtering the infantry, Han Qing was also sweating profusely with anxiety.
"retreat!"
Relic then realized what was happening and shouted at the guards beside him.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"
The mournful bugle call sounded again, and the soldiers of the Northern Wuhuan immediately followed Sheli, turned their horses around, shook off the entanglement of the Southern Wuhuan, and fled north.
"Boom!"
The fleeing soldiers of the Northern Wuhuan heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.
"What...what is that...??"
"They are...golden-armored divine soldiers??"
"Did they...fall from the sky?"
The Northern Wuhuan soldiers, who had just escaped some distance, all stared in horror at Huang Zhong and his men, who were rushing towards them in bright armor.
