Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The White Horse Riders were, after all, just light cavalry. Even with the U桓 formation in disarray, and the White Horse Riders at the very front unafraid to pave the way with their lives, their speed inevitably decreased as they became trapped within the U桓 army.

Once the White Horse Riders' speed completely stopped, these mere two thousand men would be surrounded and killed by the U桓 soldiers in an instant.

However, not a single White Horse Rider retreated because of this.

"Where righteousness lies, life and death we defy!" became the belief of all the White Horse Riders at this moment. Zhao Yun's solitary charge into the enemy lines, his spirit of "I shall go even if it's a million men!" for the great cause of slaying the Hu, became an existence that countless White Horse Riders admired and yearned for.

Furthermore, Zhao Yun had led this White Horse Rider unit for many days, sharing meals and lodging, gradually imprinting his mark upon them.

This time, Zhao Yun completely became the object of these You and Yan men's willingness to follow, even unto death.

One after another, White Horse Riders fell from their horses to the ground, yet one after another, White Horse Riders continued to advance, trying to join Zhao Yun, trying to protect him on his left and right, reducing the pressure on him.

However, not everyone was a peerless warrior like Zhao Yun, capable of breaking through enemy lines alone. Even though the White Horse Riders were a true light cavalry unit, without the protection of heavy armor, they were just You and Yan men of flesh and blood.

Therefore, the speed of the White Horse Riders was inevitably about to come to a complete halt.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yun, covered in blood, miraculously fought his way out of the encirclement and took the initiative to rejoin the White Horse Riders.

And the cloak behind this white-robed young general, originally in the eyes of the U桓 people, had now been completely dyed blood-red. Even his steed, the Night Shining Jade Lion, seemed to have emerged from a pool of blood.

"General!"

Zhao Yun's appearance made the eyes of many White Horse Riders, who had originally harbored the will to fight to the death, light up involuntarily, and they shouted at Zhao Yun with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Zhao Yun looked at the White Horse Riders, who had lost two or three hundred men in just a short while, and felt a pang of heartache.

This was a hard-won elite cavalry unit, only two thousand in total, and a tenth and a half had been lost in this short time.

If Zhao Yun had returned later, and the speed of the White Horse Riders trapped in the formation had completely stopped, this White Horse Rider unit would probably be completely annihilated in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

In addition to this, Zhao Yun felt a deep sense of gratitude.

The White Horse Riders were best at mounted archery, but they were willing to risk their lives to charge into the enemy lines to save him. This act of loyalty deeply touched Zhao Yun's heart.

There was no extra time to explain…

Zhao Yun, still deeply trapped in the formation, did not stop wielding his Cliff Edge Spear, and while stabbing the U桓 people who approached him, he shouted loudly.

"White Horse Riders, follow me, break the formation!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun's appearance was like giving this White Horse Rider unit a new backbone.

In the next moment, Zhao Yun instinctively chose a direction on the chaotic battlefield and led the White Horse Riders to break through.

And the White Horse Riders constantly gathered and advanced behind Zhao Yun, not asking whether they would live or die, only to follow that figure and slay the Hu.

Almost in an instant, this White Horse Rider unit, which had been trapped in the formation and whose speed was about to come to a complete halt, charged up again with Zhao Yun as its spearhead.

And with the White Horse Riders protecting Zhao Yun on his left, right, and rear, Zhao Yun only needed to kill the enemies in front of him, which undoubtedly greatly relieved the pressure on Zhao Yun.

At this moment, all Zhao Yun needed to do was to kill all the U桓 people blocking his path, carve out a bloody path, and lead the White Horse Riders out of the encirclement.

Previously, no U桓 person could withstand a single blow from Zhao Yun.

At this moment, the same was true.

And unlike before, when he was deeply trapped in the encirclement, Zhao Yun, protected by the White Horse Riders on his left and right, seemed even more unstoppable.

Even with the immense wealth promised by Qiu Liju, no U桓 person gradually dared to charge towards Zhao Yun, who was already like a god of slaughter.

He didn't know how many people he had killed…

Zhao Yun only felt that the Cliff Edge Spear in his hand was gradually completely stained with blood, and the grip was wet.

However, as the scenery in front of him changed slightly, Zhao Yun suddenly realized that he had already led the White Horse Riders to break out of the encirclement alive from among thousands of troops.

A bloody path had appeared behind the White Horse Riders.

Even though the White Horse Riders were only light cavalry, they displayed an astonishing ability to break through, with Zhao Yun as their spearhead.

And at this moment, many U桓 people, looking at Zhao Yun and the White Horse Riders who had broken through, did not feel a trace of regret, but rather felt a burst of good fortune.

'That monster, that monster that even the U桓 Mountains probably couldn't contain, has finally left…'

However, what countless U桓 people had never expected was that that man… turned around!

And after that man turned around, the White Horse Riders behind him also turned around.

'Could it be?'

'Could it be that…'

'No matter what, we still have tens of thousands of people, how dare they?'

One shocking thought after another emerged in the minds of the U桓 people, but then they felt that it seemed to become inexplicably reasonable with the courage of that man who dared to charge into the enemy lines alone.

Zhao Yun pointed his blood-red Cliff Edge Spear and once again led the White Horse Riders to run slowly, circling the periphery of the U桓 army, which seemed to have completely lost its courage.

Wherever Zhao Yun passed, within the range of his gaze, almost no U桓 person dared to look directly at Zhao Yun.

And Zhao Yun was searching for the flaws in the U桓 army…

Qiu Liju was still hiding within the U桓 army, and he had not yet secured enough time to wait for Gongsun Zan to lead his large cavalry to arrive.

If Zhao Yun led the White Horse Riders to leave, it would be tantamount to abandoning all previous efforts and letting these U桓 armies cross the river.

Therefore…

Suddenly, Zhao Yun, who was highly focused, swept his gaze across a certain part of the U桓 army and suddenly felt an indescribable intuition.

That place was the weak point for breaking the formation.

Immediately, Zhao Yun took the lead and charged towards that place. The remaining thousand or so White Horse Riders also charged into the formation again without asking why and without fear of death. Many White Horse Riders even sang aloud with fervor.

"Where righteousness lies, life and death we defy!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, the white horse is our proof!"

At this moment, if viewed from a high altitude, it would be like a blood-stained white arrow charging into the U桓 army again.

Break the formation!

Break the formation!!!

Clearly, that white arrow looked so thin, but with Zhao Yun's peerless martial prowess, it seemed so unstoppable.

And the thirty thousand U桓 troops were intimidated by Zhao Yun's courage, and wherever he passed, no man dared to fight Zhao Yun to the death.

It was as if Zhao Yun had found the direction based on an unspeakable intuition, and the U桓 youths in that direction were the most afraid of him.

Like a hot knife through butter, unstoppable!

This scene made Qiu Liju, who was hiding within the U桓 army, gnash his teeth.

More than thirty thousand U桓 gathered, and not one was a man?

Qiu Liju had never expected that the U桓 army, which had roamed the land of You and Yan, would one day be broken through and pierced through so directly.

However, even though Qiu Liju secretly continued to send his personal guards to order the various U桓 adults and Yi Shuai to gather elite confidants to encircle and kill Zhao Yun and the White Horse Riders.

The existence of Zhao Yun and the White Horse Riders seemed to have completely become a white terror in the hearts of the U桓 people.

Difficult to contend with!

Just by looking at Zhao Yun's direction from afar, most of the U桓 people had already completely lost their courage.

This also made Zhao Yun truly pierce through the U桓 army once, and he felt that it was even easier than expected, and he even had the feeling that the U桓 army was actively making way for the White Horse Riders wherever they passed.

Moreover, even the losses of the White Horse Riders who followed Zhao Yun to break through the formation were very few in this charge.

This made Zhao Yun realize that the morale of the U桓 army had dropped to freezing point, and only the number of White Horse Riders was far from enough to barely support the U桓 army from collapsing.

Immediately, Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all, his eyes turned, and he directly stared at the pontoon bridge in the rear of the U桓 army.

An even bolder idea sprouted in Zhao Yun's heart.

Once again…

In the eyes of countless U桓 people who regarded him as a nightmare, Zhao Yun, who had already scored twice, once again led the White Horse Riders to charge towards them.

That large expanse of white stained with blood made the U桓 people fear, and even countless U桓 people dispersed wherever the White Horse Riders passed.

Zhao Yun did not deliberately chase and kill the surrounding U桓 people, but kept his eyes fixed on the pontoon bridge that had just been completed at the very rear of the U桓 army.

And Qiu Liju, who deeply felt that these U桓 armies were like jackals whose backbones had been completely broken, was now leading his personal guards towards the pontoon bridge, preparing to cross the river first.

That white-robed divine general Zhao Zilong and the White Horse Riders, Qiu Liju hated deeply in his heart, but he also understood that it was impossible to encircle and kill Zhao Yun with these U桓 people who had lost their courage.

Therefore, what Qiu Liju was thinking now was to leave this place and bring as many U桓 people back to Yuyang County as possible.

However, as the commotion caused by Zhao Yun and the White Horse Riders breaking through the formation seemed to be getting closer and closer, Qiu Liju's heart suddenly tightened, and he turned his head to look behind him, only to find that Zhao Yun had already appeared fifty steps away and was heading in his direction.

Just as Qiu Liju turned his head, Zhao Yun also noticed Qiu Liju, who was being protected by heavily guarded personal guards and hiding in the U桓 army.

"Qiu Liju, please leave your head behind!"

Zhao Yun subconsciously shouted in a somewhat humble tone towards Qiu Liju's direction.

However, this shout could be said to have frightened Qiu Liju to death.

Too late to lament his misfortune, Qiuliju hurriedly spurred his horse, frantically rushing towards the floating bridge not far away, while constantly shouting orders to the surrounding Wuhuan people.

"Stop the Han general behind me for this king, and this king will reward you handsomely!"

It's just that promising rewards is always most effective the first time.

Faced with Qiuliju's repeated promises, apart from the Wuhuan people under Qiuliju's direct command who were somewhat tempted, the Wuhuan people of the other tribes instead realized Zhao Yun's target, and actively made way for Zhao Yun.
