Faced with a dense hail of arrows, the rebel soldiers at the front were immediately riddled with arrows and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
It should be noted that the Han army's crossbows were capable of killing at a range of 150 paces, with even greater power within 100 paces. Combined with the excellent penetrating power of their arrows, even many rebel soldiers armed with wooden shields could not withstand them.
With just one volley of arrows, the more than two thousand rebel soldiers at the forefront screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Keep going!!"
Despite the fearsome rain of arrows from the Han army, the rebel leaders relentlessly urged their men to continue charging forward, attempting to use their numerical advantage to get closer to the Han army's camp.
The four thousand archers in the camp remained calm and loaded their arrows at an extremely fast pace, firing in waves at the rebels.
Any rebel soldiers who came within a hundred paces of the camp were struck by several arrows and fell to the ground dead.
Seeing their comrades at the front being shot one after another, the rebel soldiers behind them stopped in their tracks and dared not approach.
"Don't stop, keep going!!"
Upon seeing this, a leader immediately swung his knife and killed a rebel soldier who had stopped, then led his men to drive the surrounding soldiers to continue the charge.
The leader had only taken two steps forward when an arrow whistled through the air and pierced his neck, killing him instantly.
The surrounding rebels were horrified to see their leader fall to the ground. The distance from the camp was nearly two hundred paces. They wondered who could be such a sharpshooter.
"Ah~!"
Just as the rebels were stunned, a scream suddenly rang out. When they looked over, they saw a comrade clutching his neck and collapsing next to the leader.
"Run!!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding rebel soldiers dared not linger any longer and hurriedly turned and ran away.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash!"
Inside the camp, Lu Bu snorted coldly upon seeing this, then drew his bow and aimed at another leader among the rebels.
The arrow whistled through the air and killed the leader in an instant.
Lu Bu continued his attack without pause, firing three arrows in quick succession, each hitting a rebel leader. In an instant, several rebel soldiers who had lost their leaders immediately turned and fled.
Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, and the archery enthusiasts in the Imperial Guard behind Lü Bu also followed suit, taking down their large bows and beginning to snipe at the leaders of the rebel army.
While most of these archers were not as skilled as Lü Bu, they were all handpicked and personally trained by Huang Zhong and Lü Bu. They could hit a target from 200 paces away without much difficulty, let alone a hundred paces.
Within a few breaths, dozens of rebel leaders who approached the camp were shot dead one by one by Lü Bu and his men.
In an instant, the rebels near the camp turned and fled. Due to the loss of command, the entire front line of the rebel army was thrown into chaos.
"Open the gates! Charge!!"
Seeing the enemy in disarray, Huangfu Gui, who was observing the battle from the rear, made a decisive decision and immediately ordered his troops to leave the camp and pursue them.
"Follow me and kill them!!"
Lu Bu, who was guarding the entrance to the camp, immediately roared, mounted his horse, and was the first to rush out of the camp and charge towards the fleeing rebel army.
Dian Wei, Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and others were not to be outdone, and together with the Imperial Guard trainees, they rushed out.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun, Huangfu Song, and several others led their troops out of the camp.
Lu Bu and his men galloped into the rebel ranks in an instant, brandishing their weapons and reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers.
"My goodness! I thought Fengxian was brave enough, but I didn't expect those little guys to be so powerful too....!"
Dong Zhuo, watching from behind, exclaimed in surprise as he saw Dian Wei, Sun Jian, and others charging into the enemy ranks and slaughtering the enemy soldiers like chickens and sheep.
In his view, it would probably be a few years before Sun Jian, Dian Wei and others grew up and became no less powerful than Lü Bu.
The Imperial Guard trainees following behind Lu Bu and his men, though not as brave as them, were still skilled enough to take on five men each.
Liu Hong treasured these trainees very much, so the armor they wore was top-notch in terms of protection, making it very difficult for the rebels' swords and knives to harm them.
Coupled with long-term, high-intensity training, the trainees, though young, were even more formidable than the elite soldiers when they charged into battle, each one as fierce as a young tiger hunting for the first time.
With so many unparalleled warriors, who in the world could stand against them?
Especially the sight of Cao Cao and Liu Bei following behind Lü Bu and constantly firing sneak arrows sent a chill down Dong Zhuo's spine.
In an instant, Dong Zhuo's idea that Lü Bu was number one and he was number two was completely extinguished, and he felt even more awe for the emperor who had so many fierce warriors.
"Brothers, follow me and kill them!!"
Immediately, Dong Zhuo abandoned any unnecessary thoughts in his mind and led his soldiers to charge forward at full speed.
"kill!!"
Seeing Lü Bu and his men wreaking havoc ahead, the soldiers behind were greatly encouraged and roared as they followed closely behind.
The fleeing rebel soldiers, hearing the deafening battle cries from behind, were terrified and charged towards the central army with even greater recklessness.
"Quick, stop them!!"
Seeing the fleeing soldiers charging toward the central army, Chen Man immediately ordered the supervisory team to move forward.
Unfortunately, the routed soldiers had already rushed close, and the supervising team was powerless to stop them.
As the rebel army poured in from the front, the entire central part of the rebel army was thrown into chaos. Many soldiers, unaware of the situation, assumed that their side had suffered a major defeat and, along with the fleeing soldiers, turned and ran towards the rear.
