Chapter 219 Fighting at the Risk of Life
From the very beginning, Shen Pei was prepared to fight to the death with Tian Zejun.
In a head-on confrontation, he had a certain chance of winning, but he had no chance of capturing and killing Tian Ze.
As long as Tian Ze is not dead, this battle will be meaningless.
The best outcome would be the annihilation of Tian Ze's army at the cost of nearly half of his own troops.
However, with Tian Ze's background, he could easily recruit another 100,000 troops without any effort. But Yuan Shao could not do this.
The population under Yuan Shao's rule was too small, and it was already his limit to squeeze out an army of nearly 500,000 with all his might. The previous loss of tens of thousands of soldiers was already a major blow, and he could not bear any more of this kind of loss.
"Would you rather put yourself in danger and risk your life?" Guo Jia murmured as he looked at the flag of Yuan Shao's central army, which was only a few hundred steps away from the vanguard troops of Le Jin's army and Ma Teng's army.
You know, Shen Pei's arrangement put himself and Yuan Shao in an equally dangerous or even more dangerous position.
He used himself as bait to lure them to mobilize Ma Teng's cavalry, while he himself attacked without considering defense at all, and exchanged camps.
This was a huge gamble, and at stake was not only the lives of countless soldiers, but also Yuan Shao's own lives.
"Yuan Benchu, you are really courageous."
On the chariot of Yuan Shao's central army, Yuan Shao, dressed in military uniform, stood tall as a pine tree, his eyes full of determination and fearlessness. Looking at the Le Jinjun and Ma Tengjun coming towards him, he showed no fear, his left hand firmly supported the shaft of the chariot, and his right hand tightly grasped the sword at his waist.
"Zhengnan, I leave this to you." Yuan Shao's voice was steady and powerful, and his words were full of trust in Shen Pei.
Hearing the determination in Yuan Shao's words, Shen Pei's worries and self-blame instantly dissipated. He nodded solemnly, his eyes became focused and firm, and he continued to issue various orders.
At this moment, not only life and death, he has put everything aside.
He just wants victory!
For Yuan Shao, he was willing to risk everything.
After saying this last sentence to Shen Pei, Yuan Shao calmly stepped down from the chariot, each step was extremely steady and full of determination. His footsteps seemed to step on the heartstrings of the people, making people feel an indescribable power.
He climbed onto his horse, and his blood-red robe fluttered in the wind like a burning flame.
In this noisy battlefield, the surroundings seemed extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that seemed to be emitting light.
"Everyone!"
Yuan Shao's majestic voice echoed on the battlefield, and his eyes swept across the faces of every soldier around him.
"Most of us men of Yan and Zhao are brave and righteous. Now there is a strong enemy in front of us, and we have no way to avoid it. If we retreat in fear, we will be ridiculed by the world and have no way to survive. Only by charging forward bravely can we have a glimmer of hope."
"A real man is born between heaven and earth, so why should he fear death? In this battle, I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you and will never abandon you. Follow the direction of my sword and fight bravely!"
"kill!"
Most of the people around were Yuan Shao's personal guards, all of whom were ignited by Yuan Shao's words and were determined to die. They shouted in unison: "Kill!"
For a moment, the morale of Yuan Shao's army was greatly boosted, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky.
Yuan Shao spurred his horse on fiercely, pointed his long sword forward, and rushed forward: "Kill!"
At this moment, Yuan Shao's heroic spirit swept across the entire field, and his terrifying spirit directly pushed his talent to the extreme. Yuan Shao's army, which had originally felt a little fearful and powerless, now spontaneously generated a strength from the heart and attacked the enemy again.
In front of Yuan Shao, Chunyu Qiong saw Yuan Shao charging personally. His eyes instantly turned red. He drew the long sword at his waist and instantly cut off the connection of his armor.
"kill!"
Without hesitation, Chunyu Qiong tore off his armor and roared as he charged at the enemy at the front. His subordinates were also inspired by his actions and also discarded their heavy armor.
The lord is charging towards them, and even if they die, they must kill the enemy in front of them before the lord rushes up!
At this moment, Chunyu Qiong's loyalty to Yuan Shao completely ignited his talent, showing his second state of "taking off armor" and abandoning all defenses to attack.
The soldiers under Chunyu Qiong's command changed from sharp warriors with a balanced offense and defense to desperate warriors who were determined to fight to the death with the enemy.
Ignoring the enemy's swords and guns, all the soldiers of Chunyu Qiong's army rushed towards the enemy in front of them like crazy, almost as if they were seeking death.
One by one they fell, and another one rushed forward.
Even Le Jin, Qu Yi and Ma Teng were shocked by such a terrifying enemy.
Under the reckless attack of this group of people, the casualties on both sides rose sharply.
Le Jin and the others felt as if they were hit head-on by endless waves. Although the waves did not cause much damage to their bodies, the terrifying thing was that they were getting more and more powerful.
They split one wave, but the next one came over without any gap, making it impossible for them to move forward, and they even kept retreating.
"What a Chunyu Qiong!" At this moment, even Qu Yi had to take seriously this veteran general under Yuan Shao.
The reason why he was able to become Yuan Shao’s trusted general was not because of his seniority, but because of his real ability.
Although the bloody road was paved with the lives of the soldiers, Chunyu Qiong actually blocked their attack. This alone was enough to shock the world.
You have to know that in front of him are the most powerful Le Jinjun and the vanguard death squad in the world, as well as the armored cavalry that are best at charging.
It was undoubtedly a miracle that these soldiers actually used their bodies to block the cavalry's charge and sharp crossbow arrows and pushed back the defense line.
In the first group of death-defying soldiers, Qu Yi kept his eyes on Yuan Shao's direction, tightly gripping the specially made crossbow in his hand, determined to kill the enemy leader.
However, in front of Yuan Shao, Chunyu Qiong was riding his horse and blocking the way, silently hindering Yuan Shao's progress, and constantly looking around, as if he was ready to block cold arrows for Yuan Shao at any time.
The retreating halberd soldiers, because Chunyu Qiong mainly used the effect of his talent on the army under his command, their steps inevitably became heavier, and they also blocked Yuan Shao's way.
Qu Yi aimed for a long time but still couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Looking at the general flag of Yuan Shao's army charging forward, and the army of Le Jin and Ma Teng who were standing hundreds of steps away from the general flag but could not get close to him, Guo Jia sighed in his heart.
"As expected of Yuan Benchu! Shen Zhengnan really made the right bet."
Although he had expected Shen Pei to be bold in gambling and that there must be a way to ensure Yuan Shao's safety, Guo Jia still couldn't help but admire it when he saw it with his own eyes.
At this time, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Yuan Shao was able to do this, which was beyond Guo Jia's expectation.
To the extent that Guo Jia began to doubt the evaluation he had made of Yuan Shao after learning the intelligence about him.
At this time, Yuan Shao truly deserves the title of role model for the world.
Looking at the troops led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou who were already charging towards him, Guo Jia gently waved the command flag.
"Wenyuan, it's your turn!"
