Chapter 125 The Price of Freedom



"It seems the Crane Wing Formation can't hold them off... Change the right flank to the Arrowhead Formation and launch a proactive attack on the enemy archers and cavalry."

The central army is divided into two formations. Gong Du, you lead the rear army in a goose-shaped formation, while I will lead the front army in a fish-scale formation to suppress the enemy's front army.

The left flank is arranged in a...trapezoidal formation, with all the spearmen moved to the left flank!

Gong Du frowned slightly. "Brother, shouldn't the spearmen be transferred to the right wing?"

"Shut up, those are light cavalry, they don't need spearmen."

If we can't stop those heavy cavalry, then we can forget about winning.

"All right..."

Gong Du stopped arguing, turned around to accept the order, and went to arrange the troops into formation.

"Zhao Hao... just how many trump cards do you have left to show me?"

...

"Young Master, Zu Ti has raised a black command flag!"

On Zhao Hao's side, Yuwen Chengdu was accompanied by several female relatives, leaving only a thousand men to guard the warship.

More than four thousand people, including soldiers and horses, all dressed in armor, landed on the shore.

"I saw it. This guy even set up a fake gun emplacement, trying to guard against us."

Zhao Hao chuckled. Apart from Yuwen Chengdu and Guan Hai, none of the people behind him were cowards.

Let alone a dense forest of guns, even a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, these people would dare to charge in!

"All teammates, form a cone formation!"

The cone formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that resembles a cone.

The difference is that the horizontal line at the bottom of the triangle does not exist in the cone formation, but Zhao Hao's arrangement of this formation proves this.

This time, he's going to break through the enemy lines!

"Everyone's eaten and drunk their fill!"

Zhao Hao raised his arm and shouted, and the soldiers behind him responded loudly.

"I ate them all."

"Speak louder! I didn't hear you!"

"I ate it all!"

"Hmph, you guys obviously haven't eaten enough."

Now, let's follow Lao Tzu into the enemy ranks and capture the bandit leader alive.

After the war is over, I will personally treat you to wine and meat!

Now, follow me and kill!

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

Four thousand iron cavalrymen, like an arrow without a tail, could only move forward, with no possibility of changing course!

"Those who block my way, die!"

Zhao Hao took the lead, followed by his generals.

With their formidable martial prowess, how could such a dense formation of spears possibly withstand four thousand Iron Eagle Warriors, whose men and horses were armed to the teeth!

"Hey, I've never encountered such a weak bandit before!"

Countless Yellow Turban spearmen were either crushed into mincemeat by the iron cavalry or skewered into meat skewers by iron spears.

The battlefield has always been this cruel.

Having grown accustomed to bullying the weak, the Yellow Turban rebels, seeing such a fierce cavalry attack, could no longer muster the will to resist.

Not to mention, the junior commander who was promoted by Huang Shao and led them was just beheaded by Zhao Hao himself!

The already low morale plummeted in that instant.

They all collapsed!

"The bandit leader is on that side! Soldiers, are you willing to charge with me for another battle?"

"Strong wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"

Dispersing the hail of guns was not Zhao Hao's objective.

With overwhelming force and overwhelming momentum, the outcome of the battle was decided in one fell swoop.

This is what Zhao Hao wants to do!

"Such a mighty lion... with him as its leader, no wonder the million wolves and tigers of the northern desert couldn't stop him."

"So be it, everything is fate. I only ask to have done my best without regret. Messenger, tell Gong Du to fire arrows one hundred and fifty paces, emptying the flask!"

"yes!"

Before long, before Zhao Hao's army had even reached Huang Shao's central front, a barrage of arrows rained down from the sky.

"Raise your shields!"

Each Iron Eagle Warrior has a circular shield on its back with a spike resembling an eagle's beak protruding from the center.

The shield was neither too big nor too small, just enough to cover the head and part of the body's vital organs.

Although the armor is said to be armed to the teeth, it cannot fully protect the eyes and some joints.

Having such a shield perfectly complements defensive capabilities without sacrificing flexibility.

Knock knock knock!

However, these arrows were not even strong enough to pierce the round shields, let alone penetrate the armor of the elite soldiers.

"Hmph, even the arrows are weak and powerless. Victory or defeat hinges on this battle. Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Having seen through all this, Zhao Hao no longer wasted time on defense and ordered everyone to charge straight for the enemy's stronghold!

Huang Shao looked at his soldiers, who were collapsing like a house of cards, and felt utterly hopeless.

Even these relatives, whom he had personally trained for many years, could not stop Zhao Hao's iron cavalry.

How could they possibly win?

"Big brother! Stop spacing out! If Zhao Hao comes, he'll definitely kill you. Let's get out of here!"

Gong Du, who was in the rear, naturally sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly returned to the front, wanting to lead Huang Shao away as soon as possible.

"Escape? The truth is clear, justice prevails. We've long since run out of options..."

Huang Shao did not leave; instead, he dismounted and drew his sword from his waist.

"Big brother, what are you doing!"

However, Huang Shao did not intend to brandish his sword and order the entire army to fight to the death. Instead, he turned his hand back and held the blade across his own neck.

"Big brother! No!"

Gong Du held onto Huang Shao tightly for a long time before the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.

Zhao Hao's iron hooves had already reached the two of them.

Gong Du was clearly stunned, but Zhao Hao didn't give him time to react. With just a glance, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, the two gatekeepers, captured the two of them and rendered them unable to move.

"Your leader has been captured alive. Those who kneel down and beg for surrender will not be killed!"

"The bandit leader has been captured; those who surrender will not be killed!"

"The bandit leader has been captured; those who surrender will not be killed!!"

Huang Shao and Zhao Hao exchanged a glance and gave each other a helpless, bitter smile.
