At the same time Xue Peng was stunned, the massacre of Jing Wei's camp did not stop.

  "Advance two steps!" Wu Zhenying shouted loudly, the front row of long spear men stepped forward in unison, stabbing dozens of bandits who had not yet escaped the range of the spears to the ground, and then trampled over their corpses to continue pressing towards the bandit vanguard.

  Pei Xu stared blankly at the scene before him, unable to utter a word for a long time. Now he finally understood why those defeated soldiers who had escaped from Meihe Town and other strongholds back to Gaoyang City would turn pale with fear and become incoherent whenever they mentioned the Jingwei Camp. What kind of formation was this that forbade clustering together? Not to mention the fleeing soldiers just over a dozen steps away, even if his own three thousand elite troops went up, their outcome wouldn't be much better than theirs.

  "General, release the bow and arrow quickly! Don't let them get any closer!" A loud shout from a deputy general beside him pulled Pei Xisu back to reality. Ah, yes! What if he came with a dense formation? Such a dense formation, within fifty steps, can be suppressed with bows and arrows! As long as the enemy's formation is disrupted, then lead the troops to charge forward, it will be possible to turn defeat into victory.

  "Archers! Prepare!" At Pei Xie's command, they were just about to shoot their arrows, but suddenly discovered that the bandits behind them had started running around frantically, searching for something in the heavy fog.

  The scarcity of supplies and chaotic management made the bandits feel a sense of despair, coupled with the fact that they did not expect anyone to dare to intercept them halfway, resulting in the chaotic scene before their eyes.

  "Move over! Found it! Ha! Found it……” When a bandit kicked open the squatting commoner, he finally found the urgently needed crossbow on a donkey cart. His shout attracted countless bandits to rush forward and scramble for it, but soon discovered another difficult problem.

  "Where's the arrow shaft? Where's the arrow shaft?" A bandit holding a crossbow hadn't been happy for long when he suddenly thought of the arrow shaft not being on this cart, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

  "Attention!" Liu Ce's gaze towards the bandits was icy cold, "Take ten steps forward!"

  "Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!"

  The rustling of the leaves accompanied the melody of the god of death, the heavy footsteps sounded like a summons from hell, the dark long spear was like a grim reaper, constantly stimulating the nerves of the bandits who were less than thirty steps away.

  "Archers! Not yet ready?! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Pei Xu's eyes were bloodshot, he knew that the more than a thousand bandits lined up outside the thirty-step range couldn't withstand the assault of the Imperial Guard, and could only hope that the archers would create chaos for the enemy.

  However, Pei Xu's tragic discovery was that the troops behind him were in a state of utter chaos, with some people not even having their bows strung properly, and he couldn't help but feel despair.

  "Never mind, Zhang Yin, you lead 500 sharp soldiers to the front to supervise the formation. No matter what, we can't let those 1,000 people retreat! Wang Chao, prepare the cavalry! At this point, we can only take a gamble!" Pei Xiu was also an old hand at war and knew that the archers were no longer in time to play their role, so he decisively ordered the implementation of the second plan. He still had something to rely on - the more than 1,200 cavalrymen by his side. Originally, these cavalrymen were supposed to go to Liu Dao Kou to attack Wu Liang Town, but now Pei Xiu couldn't care about that anymore.

  "Yes!" Zhang Yin shouted loudly, leading 500 sharp soldiers to charge towards the front row of the bandit army. Wang Chao led 1,200 cavalrymen to quickly retreat more than 100 steps back, so that if the vanguard was breached by the Imperial Guard, there would be enough space for the cavalry to accelerate and knock down the long spear army. Of course, facing the dense long spears in front of them, there would definitely be no small number of casualties.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

  Dozens of steps away, hundreds of javelins were thrown from the rear of the long spear formation, carrying a piercing whistling sound, flying into the front array of the bandits, and instantly splashing blood and wailing sounds mixed together, the front section of the bandits was in chaos.

  "Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."

  Another round of projection, the crowded thieves face the poisonous snakes-like spears in mid-air and pounce on themselves, feeling deeply desperate...

  "Pffft pffft pffft pffft~"

  Large swaths of bandits were torn open by heavy pike thrusts, their bodies pierced by spear tips that showed no mercy, their internal organs tangled into a mess, and many didn't even have time to cry out before being swallowed up by the darkness...

  The bloody smell all over the ground, the terrifying death of companions, and the front row of long-handled soldiers constantly pressing forward, finally caused the bandits in front of the array to collapse.

  "Don't run, step back, kill without pardon!" Zhang Yin shouted behind him, his hand rose and fell, killing a fleeing bandit. The remaining 500 sharp soldiers also drew out their knives and swords to slash at the fleeing bandits.

  "Damn it! I've worked myself to death for you, can't even get a decent meal, and now you dare to stab me in the back? What's so great about you? Why don't you come up here? Brothers, anyway we're all going to die, let's take them down!" A fleeing bandit shouted angrily as he saw his companions being cut down by the sharp soldiers. Suddenly, the bandits' anger was directed at the sharp soldiers, after all, the dense and impenetrable long spear formation of the elite guards behind them left no room for escape, so they might as well choose these usually arrogant sharp soldiers, maybe they could still get a chance to survive.

  "I'm done! Ahhh..."

  Those five hundred sharp soldiers suddenly widened their eyes, especially Zhang Yin whispered: "Not good!" The most feared thing happened in front of the array, mutiny!

  "Come on! Dare to rush and kill without mercy!" Now that things have come to this, Zhang Yin knew he had to use a more ruthless approach to stop the crazy bandits in front of him. Five hundred sharp soldiers swung their blades at the running bandits...

  "Ah! Die!" A bandit brutally knocked a fellow bandit clad in leather armor to the ground, then viciously plunged his dagger into the man's chest. Just as he was about to stand up after seeing that the soldier was dead, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. A soldier was staring at him with a sinister grin, and there was a streak of bright red blood on the blade of his knife...

  "Want to rebel?" The sharp soldier killed the bandit with a disdainful sneer, suddenly feeling a killing intent coming from one side. He was just about to turn around and take a look when he felt a black shadow heavily knocking him to the ground.

  "Damn it, looking for death!" The sharp soldier roared and jumped up, wanting to see who had bumped into him. However, before he could take a closer look, a spear pierced his temple, piercing his entire head from left to right...

  Liu Ce saw that the bandits were killing each other, and he wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away. He gave a decisive order to launch a barrage of projectiles. Over a hundred projectiles faced off against the dense crowd of bandits, unleashing unprecedented destructive power. Almost every projectile that was launched brought with it a burst of bloody scent, and several even skewered multiple bandits who were fighting each other onto a single shaft. Afterwards, the cold long spears closed in on the bandit horde step by step, each time one emerged from behind a shield it would take away a fresh life...

  "Kill me!" Zhang Yin furiously cut down two bandits who were charging, gazing at the chaotic scene of fleeing bandits and the approaching Imperial Guard's long spears, which gradually swallowed up his own 500 elite soldiers, leaving him speechless.

  "We can't stay here any longer!" Zhang Yin made up his mind and turned to run towards the back, but he hadn't run a few steps before being knocked to the ground by the bandit who had caused the commotion earlier.

  The fleeing thief, driven by fear to the point of madness, stared at Zhang Yin with eyes full of bloodshot, got up and rode on Zhang Yin's chest, his hands tightly grasping Zhang Yin's neck, because he used too much force, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto Zhang Yin's face.

  "Aren't you usually very arrogant? Come on, yell at me some more! Yell!"

  "Uh……" Zhang Yin's face turned pale, his mouth agape as he desperately sucked in air, his hands grasping the wrist of the thief with all his might, trying to pry it open. But for some reason, this thief who looked much weaker than himself now had an enormous strength, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge the thief's hands, which were like a stubborn rock.

  Just as Zhang Yin was about to collapse, a sharp soldier suddenly fell down, pinning the fugitive to the ground. Zhang Yin quickly straightened up, coughing several times, and pulled out his waist knife, determined to kill the fugitive who knew no bounds. Just as he fixed his gaze on the fugitive, he found that the fugitive was not afraid at all, but instead had a strange smile on his face, which was completely different from his previous frantic appearance.

  A chill ran down Zhang Yin's spine as he saw a look of satisfaction in the eyes of the bandit, it was the gaze of one who was about to emerge victorious. He seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around, the scene before him would be etched in his memory forever. A long spear pierced through his armor and penetrated his chest, just as he was about to let out a groan, another spear thrust into his mouth with great ferocity, tearing off half of his tongue and blowing away the back of his skull.

  "Damn it, can't you be less disgusting? I just finished eating!" A soldier in the front row couldn't help but mutter a sentence to the soldier who had just stabbed Zhang Yin to death.
