Features: With sand swirling in the air, the Liangzhou cavalry, led by Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng, adopted a triangular cone formation to launch a sudden assault against the infantry of the anti-Dong alliance. Zhang Liao, wielding the "Xuantian Wu Bao," led the charge, cutting down enemy soldiers who tried to block his path. Meanwhile, he formed a golden triangle with Hou Cheng on the left and Wei Xu on the right to stabilize the ranks and head toward for reinforcement.
"Ha! The cavalry of Western Liang truly has some skill. Every soldier is fierce, and their horses are robust—they are no match for Yuan Shao’s Invincible Cavalry. The rapid expansion of Liangzhou’s power in such a short time is no coincidence. If given more time, Yuan Shao’s Invincible Cavalry might no longer be truly invincible." The speaker was none other than Gongsun Zan, the actual second-in-command of the Ma Gang, who rode a magnificent horse behind, watching the battlefield with a commanding presence. Beside him, a balding, bearded man turned to Gongsun Zan and said, "Nephew, do you want me to lead our troops into battle? Judging by the current situation, the Liangzhou cavalry is overwhelming. Among the seventeen military factions, only Yuan Shao’s Invincible Cavalry can stand up to them. Otherwise, unless our secret-trained cavalry can match them, we may be doomed once Yuan Shao’s Invincible Cavalry arrives behind the alliance."
Gongsun Zan sneered slightly, his eyes blazing like torches, exuding the aura of a true leader as he replied, "Uncle Qu, don’t hurry. Although the Liangzhou cavalry looks unstoppable now, relying on just ten thousand soldiers to defeat our twenty thousand troops from the seventeen factions is still insufficient. Let’s wait and see, strike when their momentum declines, and seize the opportunity to strike. This way, we won’t reveal the achievements of our secret-trained cavalry too obviously, and we can still achieve the goal of defeating the Liangzhou cavalry. Winning a great victory with minimal losses—that’s what I want."
Qu Po Tian was taken aback for a moment, looking at the young Gongsun Zan beside him. He had always thought that Gongsun Zan had only gained the trust of his old allies in the gang because of his father’s influence. But hearing his words today, he realized that everyone was truly impressed by his outstanding leadership skills.
