The surveillance by Xu Lang is just a cover-up. The real concern is the hidden tricks that those Xianbei people hiding in the dense forest up north might have.
Although there are not many ambushers from the Xianbei people in this forest, probably only around two hundred, which is comparable to the number of troops he currently has by his side.
Moreover, these lurking Xianbei bandits in the forest were surprisingly not riding horses, most likely because it's not easy to hide horses in the forest and abandoning them would enhance the effectiveness of the ambush.
But in this way, these Xianbei people lose their biggest advantage, which is equivalent to self-inflicted martial arts. In terms of military units, they can only be considered as infantry.
According to reason, as long as Zhang Fei leads this group of nearly a hundred brothers to join, given Zhang Fei's bravery and the natural advantage of cavalry compared to infantry, this so-called "ambush" battle will quickly end in victory for their side, and he is also confident about this.
But the strange feeling arose within him due to the Xianbei people’s strange way of fighting.
Whether it was their abandonment of their best skill in horsemanship or their choice to ambush in the forest, it made him inexplicably wary, which was why he sent someone to urgently notify Zhao Yun in the rear.
If the Xianbei people really have any follow-up plans, he also has more than four hundred cavalry led by Zhao Yun to support him, so he won't be too passive in terms of manpower.
At the same time, the peculiar feeling that this Xianbei fighting style gave him reminded Xu Lang of someone... Gong Sun Dan.
Although he hasn't heard any news about him for a long time, Xu Lang has not forgotten the close connection between him and the Xianbei people.
Compared to Xu Lang, Zhang Fei has fewer worries. His heart is much simpler, with only one thought in mind: to quickly kill all these Xianbei bandits.
So in just a few breaths, Zhang Fei led nearly a hundred fresh cavalry behind him, galloping straight towards the chaotic outskirts of the dense forest. The distance between the two sides was now less than a hundred paces.
"Raise your spears and guns!"
With Zhang Fei's booming command, the riders who followed closely behind him raised their spears and guns, aiming directly at the group of Xianbei people who had just charged out of the woods.
Due to inadequate preparation, the troop sent by Xu Lang to search for the enemy was ambushed in the forest. Under the first round of arrows from the Xianbei bandits, more than ten soldiers were killed, and more than ten others were injured to varying degrees.
Now, this group of soldiers and horses is feeling demoralized due to the ambush they encountered. Moreover, being surrounded by a larger number of Xianbei bandits who broke through the woods, the situation is gradually getting out of control.
In this situation, the joining of Zhang Fei and his nearly a hundred men is crucial.
Zhang Fei, speeding up the horse between his legs, also understands this point very well, which is why he is so eager.
"Kill!"
With Zhang Fei as the leader, a team of nearly a hundred people roared and increased their speed. In no time at all, the remaining hundred steps were also gone, and the two military forces immediately engaged in close combat.
A flash of cold light passed by, taking advantage of the shining spear and sword blade and the tremendous impact of the galloping horse under the crotch. Many of the Xianbei bandits who were still engaged in fierce battle with their opponents had their chests or heads pierced through. Then, before they could even see who had come, they were propelled several steps away by the residual force and the momentum of the running horse.
"You bandit, all of you die for me!"
Leading the charge, Zhang Fei was particularly brave. Even when the force of his horse's impact had diminished, he continued to charge towards the area with the most enemies, waving his snake spear and crashing through everything in his path.
Immediately following Zhang Fei were more than ten riders brandishing sharp swords and sabers, forming a cone-shaped formation. They charged forward while roaring and cursing.
By his side were these carefully chosen men, handpicked by Xu Lang himself. Xu Lang even took the time to personally instruct and train them, all of whom were exceptional experts in breaking through enemy formations.
As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only one day to use it."
Once they came into contact with the enemy, Zhang Fei's snake spear and their weapons seemed to possess immense strength, repeatedly piercing and tearing through the bodies of the Xianbei soldiers, causing their armor and battle robes to be constantly stained with the fresh blood sprayed by the fallen.
In the places they rushed through, in the air or on the ground, there were severed arms, gruesome human heads, as well as bodies lying on the ground missing arms or heads, or bloody organs oozing out from wounds in their abdomens.
The team of less than twenty, led by Zhang Fei, is like a meat grinder on this battlefield. Wherever they go, there is death and injury everywhere, with a constant sound of screams. It instantly gives the Xianbei people, who were gradually gaining the advantage, the illusion that they have entered a purgatory on earth.
Although there were only over 600 people accompanying Xu Lang this time, these over 600 individuals are all elite soldiers who have been following him since the pacification of the Taiping Dao rebellion, and they have experienced dozens or even hundreds of battles.
And these less than ten people who followed Zhang Fei are the elite among the elite among the over six hundred people, their combat strength is incomparable to ordinary riders.
With the addition of Zhang Fei and nearly a hundred companions, the morale of the original group also soared, fighting more bravely, and the balance of the battlefield quickly tilted towards Xu Lang's side.
After dealing with a few Xianbei people who actively sought trouble with him on the outer edge of the battlefield, Xu Lang glanced at the results of Zhang Fei's assault and laughed, "Could it be that I have truly become a monitoring warrior this time?"
However, not long after he finished speaking, Zhang Fei and the ten or so men following him completely killed the Xianbei people and shattered their formation. They were about to turn around and fight again when the Xianbei people, who were originally planning to ambush them, unexpectedly showed signs of retreat. Several of them even took the unclaimed horses on the battlefield and rode away towards the east.
Zhang Fei was not able to satisfy their wishes, and immediately shouted loudly, "Don't let these bandits escape!" After saying that, he led the ten or so people who had just fought with him and chased after them.
From the beginning, he came with the intention of wiping out all these Xianbei people, so he can't let even one person escape, let alone a group of them.
Moreover, in his opinion, these few people who escaped were just a temporary setback and they could be caught up with soon, so he didn't think too much about it and immediately chased after them on his horse.
However, these Xianbei bandits are all skilled horsemen who grew up on horseback. Each of them is an expert in equestrianism. Once they mount their horses, they become as agile as fish in water. It is impossible to easily catch up with them. They quickly flee with their superb horsemanship, leaving Zhang Fei completely unaware and unable to catch up with them.
Xu Lang is still on the periphery of the battlefield, and he is on the west side of the battlefield on the other end. Although he has noticed that the Xianbei people have intentions to escape, he has not been able to discover Zhang Fei's pursuit. After all, there are hundreds of people mixed together, and it obstructs his line of sight. How can he see clearly all at once? He only heard Zhang Fei's sharp shout.
At first, he thought Zhang Fei was going to capture some prisoners or something. By the time he realized that Zhang Fei was actually going to chase the fleeing Xianbei bandits, Zhang Fei had already gone far after the first few Xianbei who escaped in the chaos.
"Yide, stop! Stop pursuing the enemy! Come back!" Xu Lang shouted towards the direction where Zhang Fei was chasing, but Zhang Fei, who was still chasing a few Xianbei people on horseback, either couldn't hear because the distance was too far, or was so blinded by rage that he couldn't obey Xu Lang's command, and continued to chase after them on horseback.
Xu Lang felt relieved about Zhang Fei's bravery. Although he didn't have time to count how many Xianbei people were lurking in the forest, based on Zhang Fei's performance just now, even if there were hundreds more, he believed that Zhang Fei could reverse the outcome of this battle.
Xu Lang is afraid of the impulsive behavior of this rough guy, just like what is happening now.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Zhang Fei chasing further and further, Xu Lang became worried and quickly surveyed the scene in front of him. He noticed that there were still many Xianbei people resisting, so he made up his mind and tightly gripped the golden hammer in his hand. He joined the team that was clearing the scene, fighting and giving orders at the same time, saying, "Send a few people to follow and see where Captain Zhang is going, preferably to bring him back to me. The rest of you, hurry up and help me clean up the mess!"
Although there are not many ambushers from the Xianbei people in this forest, probably only around two hundred, which is comparable to the number of troops he currently has by his side.
Moreover, these lurking Xianbei bandits in the forest were surprisingly not riding horses, most likely because it's not easy to hide horses in the forest and abandoning them would enhance the effectiveness of the ambush.
