Wei Yan rode atop his personal horse, his twin hand axes strapped to his lower back while his spear was strapped to his saddle. Beside him rode his good friend, Lu Rai, with a round shield on his back while a short sword and short spear were both strapped to his saddle.
Behind the men rode Wei Yan's personal unit of men. One hundred veteran warriors, anxious and nervous for battle all at the time. There was almost a blanket of worry across their faces, but with that worry came determination. Yan was no different, nor was Lu Rai.
The allied camp came into sight, and Wei Yan gave a slight smile as his friend just laughed a bit and shook his head.
"You can hear them from here, milord. You would think that they were at a tavern. Maybe this battle will be quicker than we both predicted. 'Course we couldn't get that lucky." joked Lu Rai as Wei Yan just noted his talking with a nod. It was only moments until the unit was upon the camp. The two friend dismounted and made their peace with the guardsman as their men fanned out to their seperate camps and friends.
Wei Yan gave a pleasant nod to the two gaurds men as he pulled his spear from the saddle and strapped it across his back. Lu Rai strapped his sword around his hip and the spear to his back as well before the two men made their way into the campgrounds.
"Reach down inside and find the strength of many in yourself." Wei Yan whispered nonchalantly to no one inparticular as he stepped into the camp. It had been maybe ten steps, and something had hit him like a ton of brick. This battle was just too big to be real.
Troop Numbers:
50 Axe and Shield Veterans

Ba Zeng became aware of his surroundings, well not really. All he saw was black, he was awake, sorta. His last memories were intense drinking and making love to a woman. Was that a dream? Zeng moved his hand a few inches, he felt skin. The woman was still there. There were loud noises in the distance. Perhaps soldiers sparring. War cries? Soldiers sparring...
Ba Zeng tossed his head to the other side of the bed his face facing the woman. His eyes were still closed and he was basically half asleep.
"Hon, do you mind fetching me my robe?"
There was a silence...
Ba Zeng propped open a eye. The woman was right next to him. Beautiful pale face and hair drenched in lovely smells. Since people rarely bathed. Zeng looked down her lovely naked body and saw something he half expected. An arrow in her torso. It looked like it was once on fire. With the shaft half burnt. The fire probably went out on entrance of her body.
Ba Zeng groaned in his mind.
"Fine I'll fetch it myself" He pouted, still mumbling he had a big headache.
Ba Zeng rolled out of his bed and hit the ground which was covered in carpet to suit his likings. Rather quickly he dressed himself and slipped on his gray robe, then his black cloak. He splashed water in his face to wake himself up a little.
Ba Zeng just finished buckling up his rapier to his sash when a fire arrow hit the top of his tent. He picked up his water skin, said 'Thank You' to the woman for the lovely night they had and Ba Zeng walked out of his tent whilst it caught fire. Ba Zeng looked around, everyone was panicking. "Where am I?" He mumbled to himself. He sat himself down on a bench, he knew he was in no condition to go places. He'd end up in a ditch.
He caught sight of the scene around him, and heard all of the noises. There was a war going on all right. Ughh....
"Why now?"

(OHSHI- DOUBLE POST, considering the circumstances I'd say it's alright  ) Ba Zeng was still sitting around for about ten minutes, apparently a force was in retreat because that's what a huge uproar meant. Hopefully He Jin was killed... He thought to himself. The Yellow Turbans already broke the Han. Dong Zhou was one of the few that ad enough courage to take the title of emperor. If the allies didn't resist, Ba Zeng was sure that Dong Zhou could've unite China. Yet that didn't happen... Sigh...Rubbing his forehead with one hand, and with the other drawing circles in the dirt with his rapier. His water skin was hanging to his side and occasionally he would take a drink. Fires here and there engulfed the camp, yet there were still soldiers and figure heads in the camp. Weird. However that raised a question, Why am I still here?"You there soldier! Get back into ranks! There's a war going on, which general are you under command?!"A soldier approached Ba Zeng on the bench, he looked like a veteran, probably a major in the army. Still Ba Zeng was a much more important figure than this man, and his rude, ruff tone didn't pass too well with Ba Zeng. He looked up toward the scruffy man, Facial hair, shaven head, a Han uniform. "Excuse me?! I am Ba Zeng and I am above these petty skirmishes of this war. You shall take me to He Jin and the rest of his politicians."The major looked shocked, he had thought Ba Zeng had left the Han Court. Well he was right, but still Ba Zeng could still pull his name out and confuse people. Zeng rose from his seat, sheathed his rapier, and looked around. Perhaps one could say he was 'dazed'. "O-oh, of course sir! My apologies! I should've known sir! Only the politicians, strategists, and guards are left in the camp. If you'd get a mount and follow me to He Jin sir...""Oh yes, of course." Ba Zeng said, struggling to keep his center of gravity. "Now where's my horse..." He said in a more drunk tone. After the major mounted his own steed he looked towards Ba Zeng puzzled. There was a horse not a yard away to his left. "Maybe it's the dark sir, but theres a horse to your left...""Oh yesss, of course." Afterwards, even struggling to get onto his own horse, they set off to re group with the rest of He Jin's entourage. |

(Triple post, suck on THAT Ayden, just kiddin' I love you buddeh ) "Are you sure you want to go sir? He Jin is near the front, it might be a dangerous place for a politician.."Ba Zeng drew his rapier, and flourished it around. Quite a feat for someone who was recovering from a night of heavy drinking to match Zhang Fei's. "That is what THIS is for my good sir! Ha, ha... But really, I'll be using THIS!" At that moment Ba Zeng sheathed his rapier and unhooked his hand crossbow from his sash. "I'm never in the front lines anyway. That stuff is for fools!... "No offense.""Quite alright, a politician will never understand the thrills and horrors of the wars they create." The major remarked in an unkindly way. Perhaps some bad history. Touchy subject Ba Zeng concluded. He pushed his hair out of his eyes and rubbed them. He was still sorta tired. He took another drink from his water skin. Sure he was drinking out of a bladder filled with water, but hey, everyone in this era does that. "Alright soldier, lets go!" Ba Zeng practically yelled at him. "Hiyahh!" The major whipped his horse and they took off out the main gates of the camp. Ba Zeng was on his tail, swerving a little bit, his vision was still blurring and he was squinting. The sounds of war only a field away. Behind him the main camp was still burning leaving clouds of toxic smoke to raise in the air. Ba Zeng has headed to regroup with He Jin's men! |

"Geez...tough crowd." Xiahou Yuan muttered to himself as the aftermath of his joke left nothing but cold glares from the wounded men. This place was a mess, probably a good thing that Xiahou Yuan had arrived after the night raid. Chaotic battles were only his thing if he was causing the chaos. He hadn't heard word from Cao Cao, his cousin, in quite a while. He figured the man would be here of all places, as the Hero of Chaos is in the midst of chaos.
Raising his head, he looked up at he sky. Dawn was approaching, and word had gotten out that the Allies were punishing the Dong forces after their failed night raid. Xiahou Yuan loved pursuing, it was his forte. Turning to th hardened veterans behind him, all on their steeds, he smirked. "I'm up for a bit of a chase. How about you?" They smirked and nodded their heads. Xiahou Yuan then took off from the encampment, intent on causing some serious damage.
Xiahou Yuan arrives!
100 Veteran Horsebowman

Walking into a camp laid to waste, not used to being late but Xiahou Dun was simply getting tired of trying to wait this battle out on the sidelines. Espically now that Yuan had ventured onto the battlefeild. He turned to his soilders and began a speech.
"Ok boys, time to follow Yuan's lead for once. Let's just get out there and for the moment make sure he dosen't get himself surronded."
Xiahou Dun arrives with 100 veteran horsemen weilding Spears and Sheilds and follows Xiahou Yuan's unit off to the shoreline.
