All that had been accomplished by the Golden Horde thus far was about to be shattered as if a glass figurine of Shi Man being stomped on by gay bashers. The force had taken Chang An, with relative ease, and had moved on to meet a much larger more talented enemy at Qing Ni Pass. Cao Cao himself was there, leading the allies and it seemed the old veteran had done exactly what most had thought. He stayed back, while everyone else fought, and reaped the benefits of Commander. Should the allies find victory, which right now looked possible, Mengde's name would spread like wildfire throughout the land as the Hero of Chaos; the Victor of Qi Ning.
The assault seemed doomed from the beginning, at least in Han Sui's mind. He knew the Qiang could not be trusted and it was due to the King's treacherous but ambitious nature. The fool fell back, abandoning his ally the Champion, and moved toward Chang An where it was said Qiang barbarians had taken control of the city. He had no foresight, obviously, because if the Horde lost at Qing Ni there would not be much in the northwest to stop retaliation by the allies. Xi Liang and the Qiang lands would fall before Cao Cao, adding to his fame and glory. Ma Chao would vomet if he had but a moment to stop and ponder such things. Unfortunately, he like his allies, were all caught up in a vicious storm.
****************************
Wei Yan...........The falling Wei Yan was like a shooting star for the Golden Horde soldiers in that area. It was the hope they needed when currently the situation was a most dire one. The Champion had died, but it seemed he had scored a small victory before passing on to hell.
"There! The berserker has fallen!" one soldier yelled. He was a Ruffian rider remaining from the almost broken group and he thought glory was to be had or crushed for good. Had for him, spreading his name as a true hero, and crushed for Wei Yan as his kingdom name was Glory... i know, i am too good.
The camera began to rotate around the Ruffian warrior as his standard issue blade gleamed in the torch light. He was built like a stick figure and not more than 130 pounds soaking wet, fully armed, and carrying a sack of bricks. Still, it was his time to shine and he would not let the opportunity pass him by!
"For the HORDE!!!"
Swords raised to the heavens, slowly of course as i left the slow motion button on by mistake, and the Ruffians started to chant. They cheered and rallied all the while being overwhelmed by the allies so it was weird how that was pulled off. Anyway, the nameless master, a warrior with no equal, had ordered his gathered group of 50 Ruffian horse blade killers to charge after his big rally.
Hooves and dirt, Horde and Glory, the former would stomp on the latter in a mega assault that would be discussed for ages. It would not be a story of epic victory, but instead one of utter failure! The Ruffians were riding for an open coffin with their names on it as Wei Yan's personal protectors, his Guardians, happened to wield spears and were formed up around the fallen leader.
"Attttaaaacccckkkk!" the Ruffian elite yelled, turning to see his comrades who looked to have seen a ghost. They were riding hard for a spearwall and wanted to change their minds, but it was too late.
If Wei Yan was looking skyward in his dying state, he would see bodies flying overhead as horses hit the wall and riders soared to their deaths. Either they would hit the ground hard or land in an ocean of pointy death sticks.
The horses fell, one by one, but at least a few kills were made as there was no way a man....two...or three could stop an 800 pound beast nevermind a unit of them charging forward. When all was said and done though, no ruffians were standing and almost all of the Guardians were present.
*******************************
Left, Center, and Right...........Neo on the left, i mean Wu Sheng Tian, was doing Matrix style moves this way and that. The Qiang on his side had fallen back so his army moved to mop up the remaining enemies on the Horde left flank. He was outnumbered 10 to 1 and still survived the onslaught so there was no doubt his name would spread as a great warrior. Luckily for him though, aid had come at the perfect times and it showed the allies were working together. Tian himself was overhead stating they needed to do so, earlier when the battle had started. Sun Liao and Liu Shan had both offered aid as well as Yu Xueman. If anything, it was good to see some cooperation.
Missiles raced across the field from crossbows and bows cutting down many of the soldiers trying to retreat. The left flank was crumbling and Tian's movement options were open so he headed to pincer the center with his comrades.
Eshunbaal, while staying out of the fray, had showed why tactics reigned supreme and he has taken minimal casualties while dealint out many. If the circumstances were different, then he may have had to engage. However, using the foolish and brave allies he was able to stay back with ranged attacks. Some could say cowardly while others would say smart.
Also along the front lines was Zhang Ren he was like Chow Yun Fat Ass plowing through the enemy lines. It was akin to Tiny tearing through a 6 pack of Devil Dogs. Neither had a chance at hell for survival, not the Horde and certainly not the D Dogs!
"Look! It is Zhang Ren!" one soldier yelled, but no one gave a damn so they kept fighting.
A huge smile spread across the soldiers face and from his pocket he pulled a Zhang Ren action figure. It was, no lie, the only one sold throughout all China. In fact, because of its lack of demand it could make it outlandishly valuable if Ren could actually do something of worth. The soldier thought for a moment to go over and make a big death scene, to make Ren look good. However, then he realized if he killed himself there would be no one to collect all the money.
Unfortunately, right after he kissed it for good luck he was cut down from behind! It was Ren's own Bash Brother that killed his biggest fan!
Zhou Tai charged forward and was raping the Horde like a farmer did a goat. Sure, he was the sole member of Wu but that did not mean he was a bad leader or smelled. If he could accomplish great deeds at Qing Ni then some one, maybe an animal, some thing would join his force.
On the right flank, Sun Yuan Ci was lucky that the elites, Xing, and Chao had to withdraw or he would have got owned. Ma Chao had just returned from his adventure on the wall and had fought the demon creator. SSX was also the lady of Mengq's nemesis so needless to say he was pissed that her head was not on his spear.
Some taunts were being made and challenges as well by the allies. It looked like one of Zhou Tai's men had a death wish, but he would have to fight some lowly ruffians for now. The big boys had other things to do and no time to kill some peon.
Huang Zhong rolled out the main gate with his wheelchair, i mean legs, and his unit raced forward for even more glory. He had taken out Tiny, which would no doubt spread after the battle, and was now considered one of the more feared warriors by the Horde. Sure, people like Aja Jex were young and powerful but age came with experience and skill. The elder archer still had some good fight in him, even if only a few weeks. Ya old bastard.
Speaking of Aja Jex, he was killing which was good but he had lost a brother and was riding around doing almost nothing. It would be said he made a valiant defense though and even if he did not move out his presence at the gate not only forced Ma Chao back but helped to block any way through. He is lucky he did not get roflpwned by Mengqi though!
Yu Xueman was doing some great deeds upon the battlefield. She had offered aid to her troubled allies, killed many an enemy, and was offereing eye cany for all the men in the fight. If they were going to die, it least they could see a pair of boobs first. Well, they saw Tiny's but that was not the same.
Mint was also gaining glory for himself, though it mattered little being so anonymous, and the army under his command continued to rain horror down upon the Horde. He tried to take out the fleeing soldiers and was successful, but they were moving away quickly. Lucky, Mint was, that the Qiang King did not go for him personally!
********************************
Sun Liao............Cheng Yi was trying desperately to defend against his opponent's offering of PWN. It was like christmas and the gifts of death never stopped coming. By now Yi's arm was like jello after taking so many hits with the shield. The strikes were acting behind the scenes and were sapping his enemy. Not only was Sun Liao younger, but he had more stamina.
Cheng Yi deflected one final attack and could not take it, so he let go of the shield and held his arm in pain. Sun Liao saw the opportunity and rushed in for the kill. He was parried and countered, amazingly by Yi who was not the best fighter. The two exchanged 5 more bouts, but the time had come for the veteran.
Sun Liao let all his force unleash upon Yi who was trying to defend and survive. The attack was so hard, against Yi's blade, that it knocked the weapon from his hand! Hell, it almost carved the blade in two and took the Horde officers throat with it.
There, he stood. Defenseless and beaten, Cheng Yi was at the mercy of Sun Liao. He just looked at his enemy and wondered how it would end.
*******************************
Han Sui was far from the front lines, having previously fallen back when confronted by Yu Xueman. He hoped that many of his allies were dead so they could not tell anyone what had happened, but then he almost shit himself when Ma Chao and Yan Xing were headed his way.
"I will kill that bitch, there was something in my eye!"
The remaining Dragon elites and the two leaders both rode by not knowing what Sui was talking about. The veteran looked one way, the the other, as his comrades passed and looked to the sky in thanks.
"I will order the retreat, Mengqi!" he yelled, hoping to do something cool with his horn again. He blew on it hard, like Zhang He does to Yuan Shao and the tune was different this time. The charge horn sound was epic and great, sounding good and stuff, but the retreat one was sad and deep. Han Sui got too much into to it and started playing like Kenny G.
Along the lines, the Horde soldiers fought on until they heard the horn from Han Sui. It was time to fall back and they had been defeated. Many of the soldiers thought they had victory in their grasps and that they did, but cowards and traitorous fools had ruined their chances. Not only that, but the allies were stacked with players like the USA Olympic basketball team so victory was unlikely.
"What the hell.....Is that Kenny G?" a soldier said who was fighting Zhang Ren. He was cut down while holding his ears and not defending himself. Han Sui was trying to kill the soldiers with music that had saw him refuse dueling a woman!
If the soldiers did not like the tune, they were gonna be hurting. Though, many were bobbing their heads to the music as they retreated!

THE ALLIES HAVE HELD QING NI PASS AND HAVE FORCED THE GOLDEN HORDE TO FALL BACK!!! YAY!!!
