Chapter 335
A feeling of unease spread over Hu Che Er’s heart . It was a general’s sixth sense . His feeling of unease made him immediately leaned down onto his horse . He then heard the sounds of large arrows . There were five arrows heading towards his direction .





Two arrows had originally went towards him but missed as Hu Che Er had leaned down . Of the remaining three arrows, the first one struck the Arabian horse in the head . The horse died immediately and the inertia from its movements threw Hu Che Er off . Hu Che Er that fell off became at risk of being trampled by his own men . Even if he was the Deputy General, it would not have been easy to stop the incoming cavalry . However, this also saved Hu Che Er’s life as the remaining two arrows would have hit him had this not happen .

“General!” A Qiang warrior immediately grabbed Hu Che Er . Hu Che Er was also very skilled and was able to mount the man’s horse with the help of a single hand . The two of them would definitely give that horse a lot of pressure . Fortunately, a horse whose rider had been killed, suddenly appeared . Hu Che Er immediately jumped over to the other horse .

“What a pity!” Liu Ye stood at a distance and shook his head . Earlier he had attacked Hu Che Er with five shots but failed to kill him . Liu Mang was afraid of Hu Che Er . Liu Ye had also been influenced by Liu Mang and wanted Hu Che Er dead . This is why he had aimed five shots against Hu Che Er . If the Xiliang Cavalry saw their leader get killed, they would become too afraid to fight .

Although Liu Ye regretted not being able to decide the outcome of the battle immediately, he did not stop and continued to order the firing of the ballista . Fifty ballista fired, bringing along the smell of death .





“Ballista! Ballista!” The Xiliang Cavalry have already seen the might of the ballista . At Shouchun, Xu Shu used twelve ballista to kill more than a thousand of them . Now, there was a total of fifty ballista . Fifty large arrows flew out from each volley . It had powerful penetrating ability that could pierce through ships at three hundred paces away . Now, the Xiliang Cavalry had gathered together at around one hundred paces away .

If both armies were to fight until the end, the Xiliang Cavalry would be extinguished here .

“Phew . ” Liu Mang and Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief . Liu Ye had truly appeared at the last second and not a moment earlier . He only appeared after seeing that Liu Mang and Huang Zhong were unable to hold out much longer . However, it was worth it as the first volley became very effective .

“Steady the formation!” Liu Mang did not relax . Although the ballista were powerful, they were long range weapons and were extremely fragile in close combat . After all, it was only made from wood . It was just like how Zhang Fei managed to destroy them in a single strike . At close distance, the ballista was no longer powerful and had even less purpose than firewood . This was why Liu Mang wanted to take advantage of the Xiliang Cavalry’s confusion to regroup the troops and reform the Tortoise Formation . Liu Mang also felt his heart ache when he saw the Urban Army troops lying down on the ground . In this short moment, he had already lost half of his troops . Countless of them lay dead on the ground . However, he had no time to feel sad and could only stimulate those that were still alive . The Tortoise Formation now became smaller . However, because of its thickness, it now had better defence . The eyes of his men were filled with rage . Their enemies were before them, their friends lay dead at their feet and the battle had not yet ended . As Liu Ye had saved them, their morale did not drop . On the contrary, it continued to rise .





“Shit! Where did the ballista come from?” Hu Che Er roared as he gnashed his teeth with anger evident in his eyes . He was about to tear apart Liu Mang’s Tortoise Formation but ballista had suddenly appeared . Hu Che Er saw the ground tear open . He never expected fifty ballista to be hiding underground .

“Fall back! Fall back!” Hu Che Er was a calm headed general . He knew that he was in a bad situation as the ballista was shooting endlessly . The heavy armors were useless against the ballista . The ballista was originally only able to intimidate the heavy cavalries but now, Liu Mang’s ballista showed even greater power and were the Xiliang Cavalry’s mortal enemies .

“You want to leave? Impossible!” Liu Ye had placed his own Lord in danger to wait for this moment . Naturally, there was a reason for this . He wanted Hu Che Er to believe that he was winning and go all in like a gambler . Hu Che Er would not only be able to kill Liu Mang but also obtain thousands of the Urban Army’s armor . However, Hu Che Er would not be able to escape so easily after going all in .





The vanguards of the Xiliang Cavalry was now trapped fighting Liu Mang’s Urban Army and was not able to escape . Both Liu Mang and Liu Ye understood that they needed to attract the Xiliang Cavalry and prevent them from leaving .

If Hu Che Er wanted to leave, he would need to leave behind five thousand men which would also be Liu Mang’s victory . Hu Che Er gritted his teeth . He could not afford to lose . He would also be unable to escape if he were to return to Zhang Xiu after losing five thousand of his Xiliang Cavalry . So, Hu Che Er could only continue to fight desperately .

“All units, charge! Kill these Southern barbarians!” Hu Che Er was no longer able to avoid confrontation and decided that he needed to destroy the Tortoise Formation . He and the Xiliang Cavalry would be able to live as long as he could destroy the ballista . There would be no problems as long as they could charge forward . There was nothing left to consider .

“Are you desperate now?” Liu Ye sneered at Hu Che Er . The Xiliang Cavalry was now trapped . Had Hu Che Er chose to retreat, he would lose half of his troops but he would be able to retain some of his troops . However, as he could not afford to lose, he had opened up the possibility of being completely destroyed .

“Milord . The rest is up to you!” Liu Ye would be able to destroy Xiliang Cavalry but he needed time . The only one that could buy him time was Liu Mang and the half annihilated Urban Army . Right now, the Urban Army was acting as the ballista’s city walls and moats . These were what gave them their strength .

“Kill! Kill! Brothers, we are no longer able to retreat! If we can fight our way through, we will live! Otherwise, we die together!” Hu Che Er’s eyes were now red . He was a Qiang . A bloodthirsty existence existed within him . It had been hidden as he had spent a long time in the Han society . Now, this existence had burst out . Hu Che Er firmly held his sword as his horse sped along .

“Kill the Southern barbarians! Protect the General!” It could be said that a general was the fighting soul of the army . Hu Che Er’s commands also caused his subordinates to burst out . They were the Xiliang Cavalry, an existence that had defeated the Wolf Cavalry . They were the largest heavy cavalry in the world .

“Hold out! Hold out!” Liu Mang roared . Hu Che Er was not the only desperate one . Even Liu Mang had been shouting until his voice became hoarse . His eyes had also turned red and was like a cornered rat1 . In such a situation, if Liu Mang were to fail, his Urban Army, Liu Ye, and the rest of Yangzhou would be finished . The destruction of the Lu Bu’s Army would also not be far away .

___

Cornered rat was phrased slightly differently in the raws . To be precise, it had the same meaning but was 4 sentences longer .
