Assault of Xia Pi

[Sun Bofu]

The Wu Prince, Sun Ce is engaging the kingdomless city of Xia Pi in an effort to take it for Wu. With him are the following troops:

300 Early Swordsmen (Ruffians + Swords + Shields)
300 Veteran Swordsmen (Veterans + Swords + Shields)
300 Early spearmen (Ruffians + Spears + Shields)
100 Veteran Spearmen (Veterans + Spears + Shields)
200 Early Bowmen (Ruffians + Bows)
200 Early Lancers (Ruffians + Lances)
1 Covered Ram

I request this to be a field battle if possible so I can get back into battles and get a feel for it. I haven't had a proper battle in a LONG time, so I feel rusty and out of touch. No doubt if I did fight in a Player vs Player battle I'd lose in a few posts, so I need this to help me

If it is not possible and only siege battles can be done for these then that is also fine, its up to the battle mod if he likes me or not xD

I'll let the B-Mod get his post in, get the map and what not and I look forward to an enjoyable battle.

[Mr Nor]

((I would propose diplomacy later and main battle now to knock the rust off, but hey, go for it.))

[Dark Narrator]

Well, i can confirm that the battle mods do NOT like you Adam. Oh wait, that is just me.

I will try and get someone on it, though it will be hard when all know how good you are in battle.

*cough* only defensive tactics *cough*

So, yeah.

[Dark Narrator]

Ling Ming Wing arrived on the field to wipe the ground with Sun Ce's face! He knew of Ce's tactics and even though he was approaching 90 years of age he could still best the youngin. Hell, his brother who was 102 could take out Ce.

"Ha ha! There are more ruffians on the other side of the field than there are at one of Dong Zhuo's parties!"

The soldiers looked to one another, seriously confused, but they cheered anyway. Their leader was old, dumb, and old so they knew some things he said would be weird. As long as he could say the basice orders he would be fine.

After everyone stopped cheering there was one soldier who was still laughing. He hit one of his comrade's on the arm and kept going on about how funny Ming Wing was. It was Wing's nephew, Bing. Ling Ming Bing, to be exact!

"You there, take those men and crabopple their finnians!" the elder ordered, yelling and drooling somewhat at the same time. All the soldiers again just looked at each other though, wondering if it was still part of the rally.

They cheered!

With Wing was the following assortment of deathness:

300 Militia Archers
200 Ruffian Hammers (2H)
300 Ruffian Spears (2H)
300 Militia Spear/Shield Cavalry

"No one can face me now! Really turn the other way right now!"

All the soldiers looked straight ahead toward Sun Cei. They wanted him bad, but not in a sexual way. Well, some did but that was neither here nor there. The Tiger Cub was like the last KFC bisquit and every one of Wing's men wanted a bite!

Actually, now that KFC was mentioned. There chicken was pretty good, but nothing compared to Ling Ming Wings! Get it, like buffalo wings and it is part of his name?

Wing may have been old but he was seasoned. I mean that literally as one of his men was putting salt and pepper on him!

The elder was a veteran, seeing many a war. He was so old, he once fought for one force until the ruling family died. Then, he fought for that family's enemies until they all died. Then, he formed his own kingdom but all his people died.

And, here he is now. Defending Xia Pi for some unknown reason, kinda as if some war mongerer really wanted a battle and he was created just for that reason.

// Pretty poor post in terms of quality, but hell, gotta expect blips in concentration and inspiration right?


"Well I'll be damned... they actually accepted!" Sun Ce chuckled in disbelief.

It was only a week ago that he had sent a messenger over to Xia Pi requesting this contest. The winner of course took Xia Pi as their own. Bofu had expected to meet no one here, but instead have to take down the walls in a tedious siege battle. He wasn't going to complain, he got the battle he much prefered, one he would enjoy and use to shed the rust from his absence.

"Now then my friend, hows about we slay us some rebels?" Ce grinned after talking with his second in command, the famous Xu Sheng of Wu.

A few friendly words were passed between the two generals before they begun to sort their troops out into formation. Xu Sheng did most of the work under orders of Sun Ce. He wanted to try something a little different out today, after all he had his self and the brave Xu Sheng if things didn't go quite to plan, and with the troops having the Wu kingdom built in their bodies and souls, they were sure to stand up to the fickle strength of these brutes.

Before battle could commence there was one thing that needed attending to, and that was all down to a lone messenger who arrived just in time to give news. "He wants to aid us? Very well, I know of your master well and I know he is of honest sorts. Tell him Lord Sun Ce shall graciously accept his offer of aid."

Things looked even better with support coming soon, it meant he did not have to concern over a defeat here, but instead looking to prove his self once more as a formidable opponent. He decided then and there he would fight on the frontlines with his men, he would show these scum who they were messing with, he'd leave Xu Sheng at the rear to watch over proceedings...


Summary!

- Rumour speaks of aid coming soon for Wu!
- Sun Ce has linked with frontline swordsmen to help them fight!
- Xu Sheng has taken command of the army!
- The Army gets into the following formation!


Battle formation:



Crimson = Ruffian Swordsmen
Dark Red = Veteran Swordsmen
Light Green = Ruffian Spearmen
Dark Green = Veteran Spearmen
Teal = Ruffian Archers
Blue = Ruffian Lancers

[Sun Quan]

As the messenger nodded to Lord Ce’s words, he raced off on his horse with his pike in hand racing off in a distance. With Sun Ce agreeing with this, it also mean that Wu would gain a new general as well. Wu was out of strong generals and would need more to help them again the lands of Wu and continue to see their dreams come true. With one more general, this would help them get a step closer to see their goals.

The messenger would arrive to the destination of his lord and would bow nodded to him that his aid as been accepted. With that the general looked up in the air closing his eyes, and began to take the time to breathe in the smell of warfare and death. He then opened his eyes and turned around to his troops that were ready to wreak havoc over these foolish men that dare to rebel against Wu. Getting off his horse he began to make his stroll left and right, looking every soldier in the frontline

”Today’s the day blood will be shed….Today’s the day many will run in fear…and today’s the day someone’s wings will get robbed! But that won’t be us…it will be those that stand against Wu that shall suffer”

He then nodded to his messenger who was he great right hand man, whose name is Lee Tong set up the formation. Shen then got on his horse and then raised his Trident to his men.

”Men Today is where we will declare out might to the heavens! BATTLE CRY!!! CHARGE!!”

The Soldiers then men a loud cry shaking the very fields themselves as if they were using microphones with big boom boxes. Trusted his Trident towards the battlefield, Shen charged down to become view to both Sun Ce and the enemy that stood in there probably shaken by the drastic increase in troops for wu. The men would form up on the right hand side of Ce in their formation and awaited the orders of Sun Ce or the attack of the enemy. Shen Feng would make a slight nodded to Sun Ce as a greeting to work with him on the battlefield, he just hope that the rumor about him weren’t true though….he’s heard he’s quite a hot head….and he also hope the rumor’s about Ling Ming Wing was true….he heard that his Chicken Wings were quite taste, which is one of the main reason Shen was here

500 Ruffians Sword and Shield
500 Ruffians Halberdiers
300 Militia Horse Bow
200 Veteran Twin Swords

Summary

- want to kill Ling Ming and discover his recipe for his Wings

[Dark Narrator]

The arrival of even more Wu soldiers did not bode well for Ling Ming Wiing and his band of merry men. Fagilas? No, they were just merry.

"This does not look good, but do they not call us the Ravaging Chipmunks of the South! Nibble at their heels with all you have!" the commander yelled. He was rallying the troops for battle, as he was doing earlier, and yet again the troops had no clue what the hell was going on.

"Do not fear for experience is on our sides!"

Ming Wing was looking away from the enemy and his own army, giving a speech to a bunch of trees behind them. The soldiers were looking to each other with confused expressions and some scratched their heads wondering if maybe they chose the wrong leader. Wing even went so far as to ride over and put his arm around a smaller tree.

He started talking to it personally!

"You know, i was once a new recruit myself" he said, hoping to calm the 'green' soldiers. Man, i am good.... get it... green because he is a rookie and a tree too! Wow.

"Here, have one of my famous wings!"

You see, now the true reason many of the warriors fought for him came to the surface. It was his killer wings that they could have unlimiteds amounts of if they served. Damn, them some good chicken wings! So good, men fight and DIE for them!

The wing just fell to the ground as the tree had no hands to grab it. Surely, the tree would have enjoyed the snack but that was neither here nor there.

"Men! Ganipganok formation!" the leader exclaimed, shortly after a soldier had moved over and told him the battle was the other way.

Again, the soldiers had no idea what he was talking about so they stayed where they were.

"Macemen, attack!"

The problem with Wing's last command was there were no maces, so nothing happened.

"Halberds, charge!" he barked, laughing a bit and looking around randomly as if the battle was going swell.

There were no halberd troops in the army, so they just waited for him to guess the right unit types before moving out.

"Keep up the fight men, we are winning!"

With the arrival of new soldiers on the field for Wu, Wing would have to spread his formation. So, they did so while their leader paced back and forth, listening to the sounds of clashing blades and screams. Unfortunately, the battle had not even started.

*wing is at the rear of the formation....

Ling Ming Wing and his men are now outnumbered! They are not going to charge at an army more than twice their size, so looks like the defensive Adam will have to go on the attack!

[Sun Bofu]

Thing were moving a long quickly. Perhaps it was his opponents fault for underestimating the reach and power of the Sun Family that today the old veteran would be outnumbered and out classed in ability. It would be a fine day of combat, a master class in the power of a great kingdom such as Wu. A show that even with high numbers there would not be a drop in quality and that this would one of many comprehensive victories for this growing force.

"Ready advance!" Xu Sheng shouted out, preparing the forces for an organised march forward

Like true soldiers, even though their class in life was no more than common scum they drew their swords, holding them still vertically for a moment before drawing their shields forward before them. "Foward march!" and with those words the Wu troops took to a slow but organised march forward... all but one particular unit and one officer.

A battle was not complete without cavalry, and Wu had their own set of mounted troops. Ruffians, but still capable, and under the leadership of a brave and inspiring officer such as Sun Ce they were sure to match the forces of anything their opponent could put before them. So with their first spear general ready the horsemen rode off on the left flank moving out and forward, making far more ground than their foot moving counterparts, then again they did need to cover more ground to get into a flanking position in time for their fellow soldiers to be locked into battle in the center.

There was something amiss as Xu Sheng looked to his army, it was far more spread out than his counterpart's. He considered this both a great advantage but also a disadvantage. Did his mixture of veteran and early swordsmen have the ability to take on the enemy forces in their thin line? It was with that thinking he ordered the shortening of his army's width slightly and added in some swordsmen to the center of his formation. It was a subtle change, and did not result in too great a loss of width, but merely enough to improve the defences in the center.

"On my orders the entire main army will halt!" Sheng called out following his army with his bodyguard unit. Watching how things were playing out. "Halt!" He ordered once more and his troops stopped just in enemy arrow range, but likewise they were now in his range and he soon ordered a volley of arrows before restarting his march whilst his archers reloaded and repeated, stopping and catching back up with the main army to be sure they did not fall behind and become sitting ducks for enemy cavalry.

They were nearing, the two forces would soon collide, but there was chance of a response from his opponent before Xu Sheng's men clashed with the rebel army. A lot seemed in favour of Wu now, troops numbers, positioning, and organisation. What would the enemy do to counteract current events?


Summary!

- Sun Ce and the horsemen have taken to the left flank and look to move into a sweeping position on the enemy's right flank!
- Xu Sheng has ordered an organised march!
- The Wu army have bulked out their central forces!
- The Wu army have begun to volley fire the enemy position with their archers!
- The Wu army are closing in on their enemy!


Battle Formation:

[Sun Quan]

".....Ravaging Chipmunks....Nibble at their heels"

These were the only lines Shen would heard from the old broke back Ling Ming Wing. This cause an eyebrow to rise on the face of the patient tiger, he didn't understand this man at all and it confused him a lot to why he was put in charged of this little group to with stand the forces of Wu. Well it didn't matter to Shen at all he would destroy this foe that stood before him and bring glory to Wu, beside he wanted to get that famous recipe that this Ling Ming Wing owned and he wouldn’t stop at anything until he got it…. he could almost taste it now.

”Lee…As planned”

Lee would soon take the main forces and begin to watched the enemy as they stood their with doors open just waiting for death to walk in and claim their lives. All the men of Wu stood strong in spirit and had eyes of content and ambition to swarm and decimate the enemy with blades of steel. They couldn’t wait to see the ground painted and drenched in redness of the opponent, to the point that the swordsmen at the front began to clash their blade against their shields. This only brought a smile on the young warrior known as Lee Tong; a loyal servant of Shen Feng that has followed him all the way from thick n’ thin, worst times and of good times. Looking back at his men, he notice the formation was a bit odd, so he got his Ruffian Halberds all to his right side and left space on the other side for just incase he would have to pulling in something else that may be needed. Taking no time, Lee Trusted his Halberd forward and began to march the same space Xu Sheng was going. The troops began to move at the same pace, no faster and no less then Sheng, but a unit seem to have fallen back from the whole army itself with Shen as well.


Shen would move up a bit with his unit and swiftly aim into the sky with the horse bowmen and fire a volley towards the army to soften them up. At that time, Shen had begun to move from the army and go further to the destination he felt was right for his unit. They would easily reach their spot….who was the unit? It was the Horse Bowmen and they would ride swiftly with their lord Shen leading them. They were heading to the right flank side, but things would soon change in the unit’s formation.

”Horsemen! Switch!”

with that said the formation was change within the Horse bowmen, it didn’t take long for the men to get into formation and soon the riders of war resemble a wedge that would continue to make their move. There was no telling how devastating this formation was, but maybe the fool that stood talking to his tree would find out

The main army would soon stop as Lee raise his Halberd in a halting Gesture and glared straight at the man that stood first in line of the enemy in his view. His eyes fierce and deadly as a double edged sword and if the man in line wasn’t careful he would be cut in half by those very eyes with out even feeling the cold metal steel that was held tightly in the young lion’s hands. Seeing the army regain it’s marched again, so did Lee’s army…dam that guy at the fronts going to die. This battle would be interesting, but what would the enemy do now? Will they fear the sudden movements that were taking place and slowly being unfolded? Will the guy at the front lines of Ling Ming Wing stop wetting his pants? Would Ming Wing realize that the tree was not a solider? So many questions, would they all be answered….only time will tell

Summary
-Shen has left Lee in charge of the main force!
-Shen has fired volley to shake up the enemy!
-Shen has begun to move the horse bowmen to right flank for a perhaps rushing at the enemy!
-Lee continues to stare the bastard at the front down hoping to have his head!

(lol first time making a picture in my life...be easy on me, i hope it makes sense)

[Dark Narrator]

Ling Ming Wing looked on in shock as his enemy's large army moved forward in unison. His men were in trouble, being attacked by hordes of Wu soldiers and they need his help!

"Get back away from my brave warriors you scoundrels!" he yelled flailing his sword around violently. Unfortunately, he was just cutting a tree multiple times! The enemies he saw were birds sitting upon the branches of the tree and they all looked at one another wondering why some Humans were so f*cking weird.

"Sir! The enemy, they are this way!"

Wing turned around and it was true! A beefy army under Sun Ce and another chicken thief were headed his way!

"Hmm, well, we could use some of those things that fly through the air and rain hell from above" the leader pondered, trying to remember just what they were called. Finally, he remembered and ordered some of his men to gather the birds he had just saw in the trees.

"Now! Loose!"

Wing waved his weapon forward and it gleamed in the sunlight. The reflection was not too bright because the surface of his blade was not very large. Instead of having a sword, it was a butter knife!

The birds were let loose, but that was only after giving them some spices that were used on Ming Wing's chicken. It would surely send their stomachs into overdrive and when in the air they would lead the attack!

Poop.....lots and lots of poop was raining down upon the Wu army as Wing's aerial assault was underway. Behind the poop though came the arrows, finally!

300 archers readied their weapons, preparing to make the first attack as they were in a defensive position as the enemy was approaching. Twas one advantage of being the defender, you could get the first attack.

Sun Ce's army volleyed in return, after taking deaths from the rebel attack, and his own projectiles soared through the air headed for Wing's men. One whizzed right by the elder's head, but he just waved his hand around as if it was a bee annoying him.

"Damn bugs!" he yelled, spraying himself with some repellant. It was yet another invention by the great Zhuge Liang and was on sale so Wing could not not buy it.

"Egrahc!"

Somehow, maybe because they had fought with Wing before, the soldiers knew that meant charge. So, they did so!

Both flanking units of cavalry raced forward to engage both enemy generals as it seemed Sun Ce was to one wing and Shen Feng on the other. The archers prepared another volley while their infantry brethren charged forward!

"No one shall touch master's recipe!" a soldier yelled, rallying his men to give a good fight. Most of them thought they were fighting to defend Xia Pi, but Ming Wing was paranoid that someone was after his famous wing recipe so that is why he was attacking the Wu soldiers.

The entire army charged forward, but right before they would collide Ce and Feng could see some sauce on the enemy's mouths. They had just had a chicken wing each! Oh damn, it was on with added strength mind you for the rebels!

"I feel invigorated!"

The soldier thought had super powers and felt a warm sensation, but it was just liquid crap running down his leg do too the overwhelming power of the wing. They were so tasty people just shat themselves sometimes.


Ling Ming Wing's army goes all out charge of destiny! Both cavalry units move to engage the Wu leaders and all the infantry in the center charge! Archers ready another volley to hit the enemy before their comrades do!
