For some reason this thread got locked. I'm assuming it was Mikey since he will be gone for a few days. All of Sun Ce's army may post. I will extend their deadline to Saturday at 5pm and Mikey can post by Sunday at 5pm. Sorry!
EDIT: Good thing this was extended... No one posted...

As the men began filtering forward, moving towards fulfilling their dead comrades spaces in line, the Shanyue under Yan Baihu thinned. Zhou Yu didn't go with them, instead opting to bring his army into the Supply base, attempting to get to the bottom of what was happening.
Zhou Yu rode into the supply base, towards the commader's tent inside. He would have to get to Wang Lang as quickly as possible, if his thoughts were correct. There was no reason for a bloodthirsty maniac like Yan Baihu not to be on the front lines; he was busy in the back.
Arriving at the command tent as quickly as possible, his army fanning out behind, archers taking up position around the tent and his spearmen encircling them all, attempting to keep back the White Tiger. Zhou Yu only hope he could arrive before Wang Lang was killed... If for no other reason than to do it himself!
Actions:
Zhou Yu has moved into the Supply base in an attempt to rescue Wang Lang and Yu Fan from Yan Baihu! 1,000 Spearmen 1,000 Archers

Li Wang's unit Strength: 500 swordsmen, 115 peasants[/color][/b] Li Wang sidestepped to the right of a charging peasant and swung Honor, slicing the peasant in twain at the ribcage as he ducked another peasant's spear and gutted him with Pride. "Chen Wu!" He bellowed as he saw the man urging on the Shanyue rabble. "Come and have a taste of Pride and Honor! Allow me to indulge you!" Li Wang grinned as he leapt to the top of a small pile of bodies. "Li Wang shall take your life!"He roared; Li Wang had volunteered in campaigns against the Shanyue barbarians and on one such occasion Chen Wu had managed to slay one of his cousins before Li Wang inflicted a minor wound and drove him off. Li Wang certainly nursed a seed of hatred for Chen Wu, but he could work with the other Shanyue once brought under the fold; Chen Wu would not receive mercy unless Sun Ce ordered, and even that would be tough. He grinned even wider as he spotted Chen Wu attempting to trample peasants, and in a moment Wang had hurled a bamboo spear straight at the offending charger. Without even looking to see if it hit, Wang dove from the pile of bodies and, after hamstringing a pair of peasants unfortunate enough to be in his way, began a sprint straight towards Chen Wu, ordering his surviving peasants to form an arc around him and rallying them as he charged. Summary: Li Wang challenges Chen Wu! Li Wang attempts to dehorse Chen Wu with a thrown spear. Li Wang gathers his remaining peasant and hacks a path towards Chen Wu

Cheng Pu continued riding through the forest, they slowed down as the trees roared into focus, one by one. They zipped past in the peripheral vision of the seasoned veteran, like specters in the sun spotted pathways through the maze of wood and leaf. He heard the calls of his men to the rear and he slowed his gallop, shouting for them to slow down as well.
As he heard the thunder of hoofs soften to a whisper practically he listened, turning his head to hear what had happened. A horse made its way closer to him, "General Cheng! We have scoured the forest, the rest of the scouts have rejoined the main force! We've nothing to report though, oddly enough sir. The enemy is absent from these woods. Should be safe to continue straight through to the other side."
He noted the contents of his scout's report carefully. He nodded his head and replied, "Well done, return to your unit!"
He thought ahead to the battle on the way. Should Wang Lang try to halt their advance, it would be a grueling uphill battle with the advantage of the cavalry lost. Things seemed to have erupted into chaos around the main road, with Sun Ce and Yan Baihu openly clashing there. He was sure that the enemy would be unaware of a secondary unit circling around to attack them from behind. Uphil charge or not, if they were caught unsuspecting, they would be killed near instantly. He could only hope that Wulong Wang would marshal his troops quickly enough to keep pace. Should Demou be caught there without an infantry column to support his attack, he'd have to make several charges to crack them to pieces. Each one risking greater chances of death and failure than the last. It was best to finish things quickly.
He got off to a slow start, but was determined to pick things up.
"All troops, continue your advance upon the enemy!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Strength: 1000 Cavalry
Actions: Scouts rejoin the main unit, enemy forces aren't found by their sweep. Cheng Pu continues riding through the forest.

Strength: 1000 Cavalry, 500 Spears, 125 Peasants <><><><><><> Dust clouds were rising to the east and west as Sun Ce’s armies moved across the battlefield. In the center, there was heated combat and the once earthly colors of the ground were replaced by crimson. There were so many dead bodies it looked like a carpet of corpes covering the landscape. Many of the fallen were from Ce’s army, but the majority were Shanyue. Chen Wu had brought his contingent of soldiers directly into the front lines of his enemy, cutting down soldiers like blades of grass. Ce could see the blood flowing in torrents behind the enemy officer and it made him one step closer to entering rage mode. The cold steel of the young tiger’s blade could be felt by the unfortunate recipient on the end of his sword. The weapon was to heat up soon with the warmth of Shanyue blood. The friction of impaling and slicing the enemies would be akin to a hot knife through butter. Sun Ce countered an attack and quickly dispatched one of Chen Wu’s lowly peasants. He looked down at the fallen enemy, stabbed one blade into the ground, then picked up a bamboo spear. Like an Olympic javelin thrower, he took a few steps and hurled the spear toward an enemy. The weapon tore threw the air, heading for its target, and the sharpened tip of the spear ripped through the enemy’s chest and then out of his back, annihilating him in but a mere second. Sun Ce pulled his other sword from the ground and looked quickly to see how his officers were fairing. Time seemed to slow as he watched Li Wang slay an enemy and then challenge Chen Wu to single combat. He looked back to see Lu Fei, yelling out targets and orders to his archers. Every other moment, arrows were flying overhead while the melee continued. “My lord! Behind you!” Sun Ce was caught in his slow motion scene and did not realize an enemy was charging him. He brought his weapons up to defend, but it was not necessary. Three arrows embedded in the Shanyue’s chest, sending him to the afterlife. A few of Fei’s archers had saved their leader and they received a nod of thanks. The group of spears received the signal and they moved forward to bolster the front lines. <><><><><><> Summary: The infantry continue to fight and are joined by 500 Spears. Other Orders: Zhuge Jin’s men are now under Sun Ce’s command and they move to the forest to start cutting trees. Wulong Wang’s soldiers are now under Cheng Pu.

~Huang Gai's Force[/i]
500 Archers 500 Crossbowmen
Atop the northwestern mountain, Huang Gai's force had clear sight over the current battlefield. They could see Jian Ye, and troops scurrying around it preparing for the battle to reach them or to move into it. He saw the bridge, where Taishi Ci stood as Sun Yuan Ci offered parley. He could see the supply depot and the battle raging outside of it.
Raising back his hand, his ranks of 500 archers and 500 crossbowmen fire off their arrows to the Shanyue peasant forces battling Sun Ce outside the depot. The sky darkened below as the arrows blotted out the sun, and like a deadly wave the arrows crashed down upon the ranks weakening them as Sun Ce's force battered them apart on the ground below.
Summary:
Huang Gai's archers let fly a volley on the Shanyue forces to the east of them
Sun Yuan Ci awaits a response to his challenge

The young wizardess of the Wu forces waited patiently atop her flagship. Taishi Ci would have to make the first move: either responding to her letter, Sun Yuan Ci's challenge, or closing into range to attack. Her bowmen/crossbowmen were prepared to fire at anything that entered range, unless Taishi Ci sent envoys to accept Ulayne's demands of surrender.
Summary: Ulayne's forces wait patiently outside of Taishi Ci's range.

This battle has been auto-resolved via a decision made by the entire staff. I know the battle was interesting and that all of you would've liked to continue; I would as well, but with the failure of the other battles -- the site needs to move forward. Lingering any further and it would just be the Wu force and me having fun, right, and thats no fun for anyone else.
So, I will briefly state what occurred during the battle in a brief list for closure and rp purposes:
Battle Summary: (Round 4 -- Round ???)
- Sun Yuan Ci and Taishi Ci duel on the bridge, after 50 bouts Taishi Ci is knocked against the bridge, loses his balance and falls into the Yangtze. His unit retreats back towards Jian Ye and become under Liu Yong's command. Taishi Ci's fate is unknown.
- Shi Yiguan informs Sun Ce at some point that Ji Ling is on his way.
- Yu Fan kills Wang Lang, and immediately afterward Yan Baihu kills Yu Fan. Yan Baihu escapes the camp, eluding Zhou Yu and slips into the forest, leaving the battlefield. Yan Baihu remains alive.
- Chen Wu impales a Shanyue peasant with his spear, and lifts the body to intercept the trajectory of Li Wang's spear. Chen Wu rallies his troops around him, withdraws, but only after swearing to kill Li Wang in the future. Chen Wu remains alive.
- The Shanyue force crumbles without leadership, many die, many more rout.
- Wang Lang's forces surrender peacefully after Wang Lang and Yu Fan are found dead in the command tent.
- Zhou Yu officially defects and hands the supply camp over to Sun Ce.
- Ji Ling arrives with 50,000 Cheng soldiers after the supply camp falls.
- The battle comes to a close as combined forces under the overall command of Ji Ling clash with Liu Yong's forces outside Jian Ye in an epic battle.
- A letter from Yuan Shu arrives, ordering that Liu Yong is kept alive.
- Shi Yiguan finds Sun Ce after the battle, and informs him that Yuan Shu is on his way to Jian Ye to discuss the future of Cheng. Though the wily politician disappears without explaining himself.
Rewards: (Given to those who rped in the battle only.)
Sun Ce: + 150 Reputation Points Ulayne Umi: + 100 Reputation Points. Sun Yuan Ci: + 100 Reputation Points. Li Wang: + 75 Reputation Points. Cheng Pu: + 75 Reputation Points. Zhou Yu: + 75 Reputation Points. Lu Fei: + 50 Reputation Points.
