Post by Yan Mao on Jul 10, 2010 21:05:55 GMT
It was a good day to be victorious, Yan Mao knew this. His plan set in motion, he thought there was no way the enemy could win this battle. Still, he feared the enemy's plan of action. What if they had found a way to counter Mao's plan? For the time being, Mao refused to think about it.
Trying to stay out of sight, he and his men headed for their goal, hoping the enemy would not notice them untill they reached their destination. "Hurry up!", he shouted to them, in fear that the enemy was already watching them...
He looked back beyond his lines to see if everyone else was following the plan. So far so good, the enemy would not know what hit them, if noone had informed them of the plan. But that seemed impossible. Yuan Shao was a traitor, noone would dare follow him into battle, with the might of the Han hanging above their heads.
It was too early to speak of victory or failure, Mao decided to let time be the victor.

(I just might need a little more NPCs than you guys for this fight)
Yan Liang 5000 Bei Axemen 5000 Bei Bowmen 2000 Bei Spearmen
Ryou Kin 2000 Bei Cavalry
Knives 300 Bei Scout Cavalry
"Go!" The word was heard and given. Nothing else to it but the word 'go'. All of the men scatter in different directions, if not the same but faster. Knives took the scouts, Kin took the Cavalry, and Liang took the infantry. Every man leading each group heads for their 'planned' position. No such formation, just rushing to the spots.
Battle Action! > Yan Liang, leading of the infantry, heads to the bridge. Axemen will get there first, followed by spearmen and bowmen.
> Ryou Kin, leading of the cavalry, heads right for the bridge itself with only 1500 cavalry. His other 500 heads for the other two bridges on the east, lead by Knives. Ryou Kin will be first at the bridge!
> Knives, leading of the scouts, heads to the eastern bridges. He has with him only 150 of the scouts, the other 150 heads for the main bridge with Ryou Kin. These men will scout and report directly to all three officers. These scouting units will be the first at the bridges!

Troop Count: 2,000 Zhong Swordsmen 2,000 Zhong Spearmen 1,000 Zhong Archers
Xian rested his hand on his horses pommel as he stared out at the chosen field of battle. He'd listened to the plan, and to him it sounded good, and He'd be able to help once it started to unfold. Until then, He was stuck on his horse. Looking back at his force, He gave the signal to his Archers to stay here, in the shade of the forest, with the Zhang Miao's Axemen to help protect them while they did their job. Reaching behind his back, He grabbed his Right Katar and made sure he had a firm grip before waving his infantry forward, after Zhang Miao. "For the Han We shall put this traitor and his forces down! We take no prisoners, As they will not take any. They may claim to be loyal to the Han, but Kill them before they can kill you. We will follow Master Miao as planned, and We shall help protect the bridge. Now, Forward men."
Pressing his heels to his horse's flanks, He moved after Zhang Miao, keeping a healthy distance so there would be no confusion, Inside he was chanting a Taoist prayer for victory. The entire battle balanced on a knife-tip, and it was balanced precariously. Any mistake on his part might lead to an utter failure. He would not fail.
Summary: Xian leaves his Archers with the Miao's Men. Xian is moving forward, after Miao, with his remaining men.

Tori's Army NPC's Itami and Suki 500 Jiang Militia 500 Jiang Spearmen 1000 Jiang Swordsmen 1000 Jiang Bowmen 1000 Jiang Crossbowmen 1000 Jiang Cavalry
Itami gets 600 cavalry
Suki gets 400 cavalry and 1000 Crossbowmen
Tori decided to take up position in the North West forest to secure it for his own desires. He knew the forest provided cover and he hoped that it would provide him defense against any of the attackers. He turned to his troops and picked out 600 hundred of his Jiang Cavalry and decided to send them to help out on the battlefield. "Itami, take the cavalry out on the battlefield and help everyone else out please." Tori spoke and his friend nodded before dashing out with his units.
Itami knew what to do since he and Tori had spoke about it earlier so Itami headed out to complete the plan by taking a stealth route to join up with Yan Mao whilst being careful not to let his unit be seen.
Tori now turned to Suki. "Help me get the rest of the troops into position. I want the bowmen lined up on the front in a arch shape to form a wall towards the direction of South East. Then I want the spearmen and militia placed directly behind the archers to form a defensive line that the bowmen can use if things get sticky. Then I want the swordsmen placed into a row behind that but a little more spaced out. This way if we are attacked then each line at the front can pass to the back to allow the next row of soldiers behind to take up the attack. Then I wish for the crossbows and the remaining four hundred cavalry to be pushed to the front with you Suki to give us an early alert if enemies approach also it means you can start picking the enemy off." Tori spoke. The silent warrior nodded and took his troops and moved to position themselves. Tori watched as the main bulk of the army moved into formation. Tori would probably change it later but for now it would do.

"Easy, easy."said Taishi Ci to his troops as they tried to catch up with Yan Mao quickly but quietly. It The enemy must not be aware of their position. Ci's force caught up with Yan's and they kept a steady pace to match them. It is time to bring a quick end to this self-proclaimed "Emperor"!! (OOC: I will add my troop list later when I can get on an actual Comp instead of my PSP. Btw, sorry for the shortness...the rest of my battle posts shall be done on a comp so it can be longer.)
