Gallons of bllod began to seep into the sand, bodies began to pile up by the second, around 10 - 20 bodies a pile, wether it be Dong Zhou's men or the allied forces. Meng and his troops where doing a solid job in pushing Wang Yun's troops back into a pocket, casuing them distrust in there captain, in ordering them to keep fighting, even though it seems like all hope is doom in trying to fend off Meng's elite's. Wang Yun's soldeirs where droping like flyes, it was only a matter of time before the where all died.
Meng knew his troops were giving all their effort, but not knowing how is other general where doing, such as to his left flank, the great Zhang Jiao, and to his right, the honoralble Zhang Ren, known for his courage and might on the battlefield, also you couldn't forhet about the female General Xing Cai, though she is a female, she fights better then most veteran generals, but Meng shouldn't worry so much about the other generals but himself and what he had to do, but later in the battle he was hoping to meet up with a fellow allied general, and to hopfully make a name for themsleves in this major battle.
Meng himself could tell that the Moral of Wang Yun's men droped, just the look of their faces and the way how they began to fight, you can tell that their hearts weren't in the battle. But it seems like their where more scared of Dong Zhou's whips and harsh words, then the Allied forces Swords and Spears, only being drivin to fight by being scared of something truley isn't a good reason to fight for, which is why Dong Zhou will never have his way with great men or the people of this land, but him being getting the likes of Lu Bu cause many people to think, what if Lu Bu was on the allies side of things.
Just walking up to Wang's soldier, they would just run away rather then to face Meng in battle, the aura of a great General, could be felt by any man, and they where feeling it ten folds, Meng would get his little useless kills here and their, as they would either try to catch him off guard from behind, and Meng would duck from an attack over the head, thrust the bottom half og his shaft back while still holding it firmly, into the stirnem on the spearmen, causing him to feel intense pain and faint, Meng then just simply got up from kneeling and finished him off. Turning around, and hearing a scream from a soldier that is charging towards Meng, he quickly gave the soldier a horrorfiying glare. Making the soldier shit himself in the processes of him stumbiling and turning around to run away from Meng, Meng smirked at this.
Quickly looking towards the ground he finds a spear stuck inside a mans back, not knowing if it was his mans or and enemey that he took this spear out of their backs but it didn't matter, after taking the spear he slightly throws it in the air, to level it off to get some balance in the middle of the pole, trying to get plain sight of the enemy. The soldier was about 15-20 yeards away. Taking a few steps back, he ran forward to get some moment before hurling the spear, their spear flew with a lot of spear, but Meng was unsucesusfull in getting his target but getting another Wang spearmen, whom was caught off guard, the spear hit him in the head, causing him instant death, and as he was falling with the spear still stuck in his. There was a soldier still on the ground about 60% dead as his breathing got slower. The tip of the spear came crashing down in the back of the neck and killing.
[Maroon]"Ha ha ha haaa...Man, these so called Elite's are pathetic........Now where that Wang Yun....."[/maroon]
Meng began to fun right threw the febal Spearmen, in search for Wang Yun, he's. Porbably hiding behind the remainder of his spearmen, that where demoralize in the first place, looking to his left and right, his Elite Macmen and Swordsmen, they where to much for the spearmen, they spearmen where always at an dis- advantage. Meng's intense search for Wang Yun, cause some of his sopldiers to fight even harder
[Maroon]"Hmph........there he is"[/maroon]
Meng spoted Wang about 30 Yards from where he was standing, Meng and a few Swordsmen ran forward cutting down men as they ran, attempting to capture Wang Yun.
KO's 34

***************** Hua Xiong ordered his men forward, to engage the remaining soldiers under Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. They had taken some casualties, but the Zhuo general had suffered much greater losses. With Zhang Jiao and Gongsun Zan wreaking havoc on his left side, Xiong could only hope that his men would hold out. Unfortunately, though veteran, they were no match for the allied elites. He cut down another ally, slowly walking toward Liu Bei in the process. Raising his left blade, he pointed it at his smaller opponent. Shortly after shifting to the side, sizing up Xuande, Xiong pushed forward to strike. As the general moved he noticed another allied soldier stood against him; trying to help his lord Liu Bei. It mattered not for Xiong attacked anyway with the elite soldier on his left and Xuande to his right. A quick slash at Liu Bei would force him to block or dodge so that Xiong could also attack the elite. His left sword whipped out, again forcing a deflection, but he brought over the right he had attacked Bei with previously. The soldier just raised his sword in time to block, but it sent him stumbling backwards. Xiong charged him, trying to keep Xuande in his peripheral vision while striking multiple times against the elite. The soldier was strong and well trained, but he fell prey to a low slash at his legs which caused him to keel over forward. A split second later he was beheaded. Hua Xiong turned to Liu Bei and poked the dead body of his soldiers with a blade. He was taunting the Imperial Uncle, urging him to attack so that the Zhuo general could finish him. Hua Xiong continues to fight Liu Bei and his men, but the allied army is starting to overwhelm his side! Gongsun Zan and Zhang Jiao are trying to break through between Hua Xiong and Wang Yun!***************** Wang Yun cringed at every scream and sword clash upon the frontlines. He had not raised his blade yet in the name of the emperor, instead choosing to stay back where it would give him an advantage to escape. The spearmen fought bravely, especially under such horrid leadership, but they would being bested by superior officers and troops. They would only be able to hold out a little longer unless they could be inspired to greatness. Well, either that or scared shitless due to Dong Zhuo's wrath! Just as Yun had built up the courage to move forward, he saw Lu Meng and other allied generals making a bee line for his position. Whatever personal strength he had gathered was dashed in an instant as enemy soldiers were pointing at him, yelling that is the target. Though there were many elites plowing through the frontlines, the scariest sight was powerful officers who Yun could not defend himself against. It was at that time that rebel reinforcements arrived in the form of 200 spear/shield men sent by Dong Zhuo himself. Wang Yun praised the heavens and his fat lord for sparing his life. "Push them back!" he yelled, moving toward the new soldiers headed his way. Dong Zhuo has reinforced the rebel eastern flank!****************** "If that coward breaks i will boil him alive!" the emperor yelled, aggravated that he had to send some of his personal guard to aid the bumbling Wang Yun. The general had not even done anything and that was the problem. Soldiers needed to see or hear their leader and with Yun sitting to the rear in fright, there was no chance the rebels could push back the assault. "You! Move out and aid the other useless fool!" Zhuo said, calling off 100 spears to move against the allies on the west flank where Guo Si was getting wtfpwned. Dong Zhuo sat back in his chair, a massive chair with a big place for a huge ass, and contemplated on what color he was going to paint the palace audience hall. He never thought the allies had a chance, so he was not even prepared for battle. On his lap was a piece of parchment, but it was not a battle map for war. Instead, it was a list and sample of all Home Depot's paint colors! "I personally like blue, oh great emperor" an attendant stated, looking over Zhuo's shoulder at the colors. Zhuo wasted no time and ordered the man killed. He liked red instead and swiped his portly finger through some blood. Dabbing it on the pallet of colors, he tried some different experiments trying to get it just right! It was at that point a messenger arrived from the front. He bowed before speaking, as to not get killed, and informed the Big Dong that the allies were breaking through the center as well. "Prepare my war chariot!"The emperor had heard that Yuan Shao and other small woodland creatures were causing problems in the center. He would move out and stomp them out himself! 100 elite lancers and 200 spears readied themselves for combat. They needed to plug yet another gap in the lines or the battle would be over! Dong Zhuo sends aid to his weakening flanks, kills an innocent attendant, but also starts to plan out the interior decorations inside the palace! Also, he can see the enemy breaking through the center where he was absent! The fat man was about to roll out, literally!**************** On the rebel west flank, Guo Si started to panic. He was slowly getting boxed in and the only way out was behind him. Thankfully, rebel lancers had just arrived to flank Huang Liang who would have spelled his doom. To think, getting Rick Rolled and killed by the same person. That would be too much shame for one man! At least Si had Lu Bu to his right, who was cutting enemies down like a gatlin gun. Still, the allies were rampaging and they were being lead by the Leader of Operation Meatshield! True, the leader would be the master meatshield who acts as the pincushion for all his allies. Absorbing spear thrusts and deflecting blade attacks off of the cranium. Indeed, only the most crazed to be such a leader! Guo Si's eyes darted left and then right. He could see Xiahou Dun cutting a bloody path through his men while Sun Liao and Wei Yan also were heading his way. They were using their men to effectively push him back and his veterans could not stand against the swift allied blades! "Hold them!" Si yelled out in desperation, but was soon slightly relieved by the approach of rebel spears sent by the emperor. He turned back, thinking it time to turn the tides on the enemy, but Wei Yan was upon him! Guo Si drew his sword and had no choice but to engage. If he fled his men would be routed and he would be hunted until murdered for betrayal. He had a better chance against the battle hardened Wei Yan then Dong Zhuo's wrath. Or did he? "Hiya!"His horse neighed and kicked back. Si raced forward and once in range would swing down upon the big melon of Wei Yan, carving it open. Guo Si charges at Wei Yan upon his horse! He will trample the Achilles of the allies and then run down whoever else wanted a piece!**************** Li Ru's spears are still holding against the enemy. Dong Zhuo's personal guard is now minimal but moving toward the center. The allies have created kinks in the rebel lines between Hua Xiong and Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, as well as Guo Si and Lu Bu. The center is buckling as well.

Xifeng continued to break through the enemy line; No mercy was shown to those who stepped in the way of the Female Officer. Adrenaline coursed through her veins, her blade was sharp-- There seemed like not a thing that could get in her way. Her squadron continued to inch ever closer to the true center, encouraging her men all the way.
"Press on!" "Forward is the only way we know!"
Every man taken down only fueled this veteran group, for every man was one of their comrades, their friends. The Inches to the center seemed stretched, but every step closer was another step to Victory, another step to the end of war ... Another step to the end of a false empire.
It wouldn't be much longer.
Another flick of her spear; another man dead. This continued all around them, but the Woman only knew of what went on in her vicinity; The rest of the army faded out from her view, and her goal pounded like a mantra in her head and in the minds of her men; The center, the Middle, Victory... the Start of the End? It was all these things, and so much more that she couldn't even begin to describe them but with one word that summed it all up.
This was their Opportunity. Xifeng's men inch closer to the meeting point! Twenty good men have been lost! KO count: Over 9000!!! 23

Qu Yi laughed grimmly as he cut down another of Dong Zhuo’s horde. It was the Yellow Waters all over again. Every so often, he would glance behind him, and lo, not a man was lost. He was beginning to think that he was charmed. As he turned back, he found a spear about a foot from his face and closing. He leaned back and brought his swords up in a scissoring motion, pushing the spear skyward before slaying his foe, who was now woefully off-balance. He then parried successive spear thrusts from a man on his left, right, and finally a double-bladed block from a strike from the middle. He paused a moment to stomp on the spear after he’d trapped it between his swords, snapping it against the ground. Before he could capitalize on his advantage, the other two spears returned. He ducked the strikes and they were deflected by the men behind him. Qu lunged forward, whipping both swords outward, then bringing them both together in front of him. The beginning of the motion caught both flanking spearmen in the ribs, and the finale slew the cowering center man even as he tried to hide behind his spear. As he fell, Qu Yi noticed that the enemy line was beginning to thin; they were nearing the end of the formation, and would soon completely flank Dong Zhuo’s center. He permitted a chuckle to escape him while he parried a poorly-aimed strike and slew its originator with a swift riposte. Once again, Qu Yi, the man despised by Yuan Shao, disrespected by Zhang He, and defeated by Lu Bu, was standing tall with zero casualties. Once again, against all odds, Qu Yi was reaching for the impossible. * * * * * Zhang He danced his way through another man’s defenses and slew him as he heard the rumbling of hooves. From his vantage point (standing atop the face of a man he was in the process of jump-kicking), he spied Dong Zhuo’s reserve units moving to reinforce the center. A most unfortunate prospect, to be sure. Twisting on his heel, he turned to wave at Xifeng from what was fast becoming not-so-far away. He pointed at the approaching reinforcements, then to the center, then did one last pirouette, breaking the man’s nose and causing him to lurch backward. Before he fell, Junyi flipped off him, slamming the man into the ground and launching Junyi into a knot of enemies. He knocked their spears aside and landed atop one of their upturned shields, clawing at the faces of the men next to his support. Unfortunately, while the men focused on dislodging Junyi from their ally’s shield, Junyi’s own men came up and cut them down before they even saw them. Junyi laughed and hopped down from the pile of corpses. He then waved his men on and continued to dance to the rendezvous point amid a flurry of butterflies. - Qu Yi has nearly completely encircled Dong Zhuo, while taking no casualties! Morale of his unit is bordering the euphoric levels of the river battle!
- Zhang He, likewise, has managed to break into Dong Zhuo’s formation and has reached the center. Like Qu Yi, he has suffered no losses, and his men appear to be getting stronger with each passing moment!
- Meanwhile, the rest of Zhang He’s line holds Li Ru back. Li Ru has taken impressive casualties, especially considering them in relation to Junyi’s!
- KO’s: 44Zhang He's Troops:40 Elite Claymores 40 Elite Sword and Shield Qu Yi's Troops:10 Elite Claymores 10 Elite Sword and Shield (I'm curious, Ryan. Did you forget to give me losses? In either case, I intend to take advantage of...well, the advantage.)

Liu Bei muttered a silent prayer for all those who had been cut down by this man. It was from his heart he was being sincere, Every cutdown solider was like a blow personally to Liu Bei. He needed to act now and cut this tyrants head clean off his shoulders. He noticed also he was a master of two swords he was very skilled at this so maybe Bei had to take it up a notch. He put on sword up in the air with a finger free he tapped in forward. Liu Bei’s guard knew what signal this was and they needed to make it work in order to avenge their fallen comrades. They appeared before Liu Bei in front of him and Hua Xiong.
‘’Take Him Down Now!’’
They put their swords in a 90 degree angle and swept it up in a towards the right spraying sand all over Hua Xiong view of the enemy. They moved fast as their cover would be gone soon. They took out 2 guards while Liu Bei had moved closer without Hua Xiong noticing. He was so close when Hua Xiong knew it Liu Bei cut his hand off. That should keep him down for awhile. As another of Xiongs guards came to help him Liu Bei cut him down with a slash towards his back. The remaining guards for Liu Bei were slowly finishing off whatever was left of their guards. Hua Xiong was in disbelief. Liu Bei took both of his swords and crossed them on Hua Xiongs shoulder. He was disarmed. This would be the end for him. But he suppose he would wait for Hua Xiongs reaction before he did anything to end his life.
‘’Last words lets go!’’
He told him. This had been a good day for him. He took down a general without Fei or Yu. So Bei was riding a crest of momentum. Guards for Liu Bei watched the surroundings and kicked away any stray weapons that Hua Xiong might have one last dash at. And they formed a circle to prevent escape.
Liu Bei has Hua Xiong in a execution type position. Awaiting his last words

(OOC, Similar situation with me. I'm not complaining, just thinking it is abit odd that Xing Cai also suffered no losses. Guess it might change with the reinforcements for Wang Yun.)
Xing Cai's men were literally like snow plowers. The enemy lines crumbled under the pure adrenaline of the charge. Xing Cai's elites held no emotion other than pure intensity. Their faces were like the flaming eyes of the gods, ready to deliver utter judgement upon the traitors.
Pivoting her right foot out, she caught the knee of a soldier, he fell to the ground, and was spared no mercy as the weapon of the daughter of Zhang Fei pierced his chest. She wrneched it free and turned her head with a slow concentrated movement. Her men were fighting beautifully, and for once Xing Cai felt fully proud of her ability in war. One day she would inherit the legacy of Zhang Fei, and she would even surpass it.
"Reinforcements! Stand strong!" Xing Cai yelled, the men who were killing the rebels looked up. Now they were outnumbered. Xing Cai scanned the battlefield, she had to find some way of cutting their losses as well as the heads of the rebels. Seeing a fellow officer to her left, she ordered a command.
"Meet up with Lu Meng's men! Combine our strengths!"
With a sudden turn, the men began to move themselves away from their prey and victims and move towards Lu Meng, the scholared warrior. Xing Cai herself sprinted towards the allied troops. They needed a plan to overcome Wang Yun's new reinfocements. And by taking this flank, they could easily capture Dong Zhuo in a pincer movement...if Lu Bu was removed. Seeing the general ahead, she sprinted.
"General Lu Meng! The reinforcements are large, we must join together for this!"
Summary[/u]
- Xing Cai and her men have suffered no casualties due to their tenacious charge! - The 100 Spear and Shield Elites, along with their leader Xing Cai, join with Lu Meng's troops. - Xing Cai suggests a joint attack with Lu Meng!

Lu Zhi watched with great concentration as his troops clashed with the Lancers from Lu Bu and the ensueing battle took place. He only hoped his battle formation would prove effective enough to hold themoff despite being outnumbered 3 to 1. So far it wasn't rendering and results that he was happy with. Had had already lost about a quater of his overall troops from what he gathered by the allying troops to the ground. Never the less he couldn't stop now He and his troops had to keep fighting, they had come to far turn back.
"All troops forward! Press on against them do not fear. We must Fight even if it means our deaths! Do not fear this worthless rabble that Dong Zhuo calls troops!"
At this he personally unsheathed his swords and hacked down a soldier hoping to raise his troops morale and encourage them to continue and hopefully render better battle results than so far. The more encouraged the men were the more better they performed in battle in his experiences.

Like a thousand year old wall, Dong Zhuo’s line of men began to crumble. They had more men, this was clear, yet they lacked skill, and leadership from a talented commander. It was kill, or be killed to these rebels, with Dong Zhuo’s beady little eyes ever scanning the battlefield, looking to slice down the next man who dare put a foot wrong. Despite being a trusted advisor, Li Ru too knew of his fate should he fail in his task, yet even his line was being destroyed by the combined forces of Zhang He , Yuan Shao, Xifeng Yue, and the mighty Sun Yuan Ci. The situation was undoubtedly grim.. “Why wouldn’t he listen.. We could’ve thrown more ploys at them! The night raid worked! The fire ships worked! Why this foolish charge!?” Li Ru sighed, and then unsheathed his sword; with a single fell swoop, he struck down one of his own soldiers! Blood splattered up along the side of his steed, staining the stallion and its master. His troops continued in the fight, pushing hard against the enemy advances. There was little Ru could actively do here now, except bark more orders, and have his men rush the enemy ranks. The tactician cast his gaze out to the front lines.. A wave of Allies colours was crashing through the cracks, soon to wash over the commander himself. Lamenting, Ru looked out to his left. “Where is Lu Bu?”“Come on! That’s it!” Bu was cackling in delight as he hacked down enemy soldiers, felling them one after another - he felt as if he would be the one to rout the entire enemy forces! But then came what he was waiting for, the deadly Sun Yuan Ci, soaring across the battlefield effortlessly, and slicing through the endless ranks to reach his target. This was it - the Gods were watching now: two mighty warriors of ancient China! The Allied officer flew through the air effortlessly, spinning, and slamming down his crescent spear onto Lu Bu. The Zhuo officer’s eyes widened, and for just a split second, fear trembled through his body. This could be his very last fight alive; then a sense of pride and glory filled him: he would make it his finest battle! Lu Bu rose his halberd up, holding it in a defensive position above his head, like a horizontal bar to deflect the spinning strike. As the crescent spear crashed down on the warriors halberd, shockwaves rang out with the loud crash, pulsating out from the two men, as if time stood still for just a moment, to let all witness the powerful strike. Fengxian dug his heels into the dirt below, reinforcing his knees to prevent them from buckling, and gritting his teeth as the adrenaline rushed through his body. All this happened in a single second - now Bu would strike back. The warrior swung his halberd to his left, and with it, pushing Sun Yuan Ci’s spear in the same direction. The blade of the great instrument of death now stared at its opponent, hungry for more blood. Bu swung it brutally towards the Allied officer, the blade looking to crash down upon his right shoulder, using both hands to increase the force of the swing. The warriors signature roar escaped from his lips as the blade whistled through the air, hoping to slay the beast before it. All the while, Lu Bu’s elite lancers were facing their demise, as they crashed into the likes of Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi. It was true - Bu had little grasp of true leadership skills; he wished for a fast and brutal kill wherever possible. Nonetheless, the cavalrymen were still skilled soldiers, elites for a reason, and sliced through the enemy ranks. If anything, their suicidal strike left the enemy line weakened, creating their own cracks. The spears and shields under Bu’s command began to spread out, aiding any spots where the lines began to wear thing, filling the spots with their large shields and piercing weapons. The winner would simply be the one that could last longer! *Li Ru becomes increasing frustrated with the tides of battle, and sends more men in to reinforce his line!* *Lu Bu engages Sun Yuan Ci, while his men fight recklessly within the Allied ranks!*

Xiahou Dun's unit was now in full force trying to force into the small pocket there general created and break down the enemy line. In this situation now that he didn't need to hold his ground and defend him self from six different angels Dun was slaughtering troops, a stab to the chest cavity here, a slash into the shoulder followed by sliding left and hacking off some one elses leg. His twin swords held his back and did a good job keeping the soilders around him occupied.
Dun could almost see the back of the enemy ranks and Guo Si was steaming ahead at an ally officer. But he couldn't get out there with out getting himself surronded. Instead he split one of Dong's soilders head open then with out turning he stabbed soilder next to him through the chest sideways penetrating both lungs. His plan was to get his unit through the line so they could give him a moment to plot out how he would kill Guo Si.
Releaving another man of one of his arms and then in a swide swip took another enemies leg off Dun realized he was getting close to a break through, but also close to leaveing his men behind. So stopping hopped back and waited for some one to come to him, losing his momentum but it was better then getting cut off from his allies. Two spearmen charged him and he steped one left and in a similar move slashed his head off, then pushed the falling body at the other soilder, from behind the falling body Dun's blade went unchallenged and severed his other head.
Xiahou Dun is still trying to break through the lines and get to Guo Si Ko Count: 9 Total: 17

Post by Mr Guan Yu on Jul 17, 2008 12:31:25 GMT -5
Guan Yu nodded to his brothers. Knowing that they would advance quickly Guan collected his troops and looked at them sternly. Though his face was stern his eyes held an unfamiliar passion in them. He was more than anxious for this fight. He reached his hand up to his magnificent beard and ran it through it. He held his Green Dragon in his free hand as he other rested at the end of his beard.
"Alright men. We fight for the sakes of the Han. We also fight for the sake of our lord, my brother. We shall aid them in whatever they ask. Let us be ready to die and to kill in the names of the Han."
Guan spoke to the men, though one or two showed slight fear at the word death, they were soon encouraged by their commanding general. Once Guan turned back around he held his infamous guan dao tightly in his right hand, the end of it brushing against his shoulderblade. Once he heard his brothers charge he had closed his eyes and lowered his head waiting a moment.
After a few minutes of unrest in his soldiers he grinned and ask one for their horse. The soldier nodded in comply and Guan mounted the black stead. The horse shook his head as Guan looked at his men ready to command them. He was glad that he was enforced with a few elites, they had been spearmen, but his horsebow units that he had initially come with were dwindled. There weren't many so he decided not to needlessly waste them.
"Horsebowmen. You fortify our rear. Spearmen. Let us charge the enemy now! Take them by storm."
Guan spoke to his men and suddenly forced his brown horse into a mad run towards the enemy lines. Seeing as Fei and Liu had covered a certain area at a massive rate Guan began to spread his men towards a few other units of Hua Xiong. They had seemed to be spear men with shields and Guan's horse met an unwanting end once they reached the enemies.
Guan rolled off of his horse once its body collided with the ground. In an instant an enemy spearman was over Guan ready to take his head, before he was jabbed through the chest by one of Guan's elite spearmen. The slight moment given to Guan was used and he sprang to his feet quickly. In doing so he brought his Green Dragon up in a diagonal. His fury empowering his swing and sending three of the enemy spearmen flying.
"Thank you. Now men. Forward."
The soldier that helped him had nodded and rushed again to force the enemy into a pressed state. Once Guan was to his feet he joined the fray with his men. He was accompanied by three guards, one for his rear and one for each side. His Green dragon swept through the enemy, knocking away shields and slicing off the heads of spears. Despite the weight of the weapon he had wielded it with such ease that his sight was enough to demoralize the enemy spearmen.
With a mighty roar from the bearded general, the polearm known as Green Dragon came down on a soldier's head and sliced down the body. The blade crashed into the ground. As more troops approached Guan thinking that his blade was stuck his guards came from the side and jabbed their spears into the men's sides and Guan lifted his guandao and brought the blade across the necks of the soldiers.
The man and his three guards had cleared a circular area around them. As his own soldiers were seen in the background continuing to wage war against Hua Xiongs men. From the cleared area Guan could see an odd sight. It had seemed to be a duel. Though he saw Zhang amongst the soldiers that had formed the circle to watch. Brother Liu!? He thought to himself as his view was blocked form oncoming soldiers.
"Men we see our destination. Forward!"
Guan spoke to his men raising his Green Dragon and rushed towards the circle of troops. The few spearmen that stood in his way were quickly overwhelmed by Guan and his personal guards. The guards had seemed to wield pikes of their own. Guan and his guards had sliced through some of the troops, leaving the rest for his advancing men.
Guan had entered the fray...a little late though. Despite that he fought alongside his men, killing 16 enemy spearmen. Once noticing the duel he advanced to see who the duelist were, cutting down 4 more enemy spearmen on his way.

"Wow,didn't know you had it in ya,Brother!"
Zhang Fei said as he walked into the makeshift arena circle.Fei had recently dismounted and now hefted the Serpent Spear on one shoulder as he stood to Liu Bei's Right.
Yide was suprised at Liu Bei's Bold....and reckless duel with Hua Xiong.Fei figured that either Guan Yu or himself would be the one to take Xiong's Head.
As Zhang Fei waited for Hua Xiong's Death,his remaining soldiers mopped up what was left of Xiong's Unit.

Zhou Tai required no more words. He didn't need to speak, because actions spoke so much louder for this swordsman. Every swing was like a boost to his troops morale, and every stab was like a resounding battle cry. As he led his powerful twin swordsmen through the enemy ranks, they were causing more damage then was being caused to them. When spearmen came, they deflected the spear, sliced the spearhead off, and attacked the man with no mercy. They brutally demolished anyone with a shield in their way. They were in the zone right now, and nothing could take them out of it.
When Dong Zhui sent the spearmen to assist with the weakened flank, Zhou Tai decided to speak again. "Do you see this, men? Dong Zhuo knows that we are about to push through! He knows we are stronger! Now, continue to show him our might!" he said as he ducked, slashed, and stabbed as he came up. He had been cutting down soldiers like it was nobodies business, bobbing and weaving in and out of spears and swords. Nothing the enemy could throw at him would be to much.
Zei Fang was in a similar situation. Zhou Tai had taught his apprentice well, and he was having the time of his life. He was sticking enemy soldiers like pigs, and was enjoying every minute of it. As he killed the enemy soldiers, he had a big ol' smile on his face.
*Zhou Tai: 13 K.O.s
Zhou Tai and his troops are continuing to push all the way through! The troops morale is being raised every time that Zhou Tai cuts down a soldier!*[/i]

It was time. Another man had chose to face off against, Wei Yan, and he would soon learn why he called himself "The Ravager Of Courage."Bending his knees a bit, he prepared for Guo Si to be upon him, shield at his front, and Battle-Ax wide at the ready. Once Guo Si got upon him, the mighty warrior let loose the tighteneded muscles in his leg and sprung towards the warriors unarmed side. He brought the axe around directly towards the horse's side, possibly even Guo Si's leg. If the axe found home, it'd just be left in the beast, and Wei Yan would draw his spear, dropping the shield. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lu Rai and the spearmen were taking few casualties, but it was good to see the dent they were making was for worse then the one they were taking. "Hold the line! No man escapes our wrath!" boomed the warrior right into the face of an enemy soldier. Taking a book from Wei Yan, the man fell prone from the roar and Lu Rai quickly brought his short sword down into the man's throat. "For Glory" replied the soldiers and they tightened their ranks and continue their march. Glory... Yes, we'll have glory, thought Lu Rai, shield rushing another man to the ground, to his death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wei Yan faces off against Guo Si
Lu Rai rerallies and continues the march with the phalanx.

The center didn't seem so far away anymore. If fact, it was like things hit a fast foward for a few moments. Noiseless it was indeed not, for war was all about how loudly you could roar and how to make the enemy believe you were stronger than they were. Of course, fighting factored into it, but posing... almost as much. They were past the posing stage now though. That had occured when their formations had faced each other across the open ground.
There were only a few more people in the way of the center, and she refused to let them stop her. Slashing downward at one man, she knocked him to the ground before swinging her feet around to one side of her horse, than gathering her feet under her and standing in the saddle. She went through the motions of raising her spear up, and golder eyes caught the sight of the reserve unit making their way over. Heh, about time. She flicked her gaze back to see the look on the man's face. He was scared, frightened for his life... Most likely younger than her.
She put her blade through him anyway, the extra force of jumping off her horse burying the tip of Demon's Claw in the ground.
Xifeng yanked it out and never looked back, walking among her mounted men and the enemy to the center, strides long and delibirate. The routing had been sucessful, and she smiled at Zhang He as she flicked her wrist, knocking blood of her blades and onto the ground. "You beat me too it." She said conversationally, turning away from the Yuan Officer to defend against an attack before planting a black leather boot in his chest, going through the motions of killing another man.
"Looks like we have some more company coming, though." The Beautiful Devil ditches her horse and makes it to the center! KO Count: 28
