Update!
Rotkplayer, your going to be the 101st of the Militia Spearmen (Spears=Qiang). You're going to be playing Cao Ren. ^^
Cao Cao, get lyle, kyle, and traptz over here, so that they can be in your army! (Literally, as soldiers, not as officers)
As for Liu Bei's forces...
I know it looks pretty outnumbered for now..
But that's only for now. If they go a certain somewhere, they'll trigger an event.
Edit: Oh, and, I'm waiting on Maximus's and Qian's response PMs. BX has already pmed his.
Eh.. Cao, Cao, I figure this may help clear up some things with you:
This last one is by Genocide. Select your officers wisely, Justin!
So, if you fit everyone in there, let's say... Sergeant - 10 Lieutenant - 20 Traptz Captain - 50 Kyle Major - 70 Lyle
..This is just an example.

crap sorry bout that last post, I was tired when I wrote it, the fair and a couple beers, which isn't bad. Oklahoma is the only state I think that waters down beer by law. meaning its all weaker then the rest of the nation, lol I know people that go to another state to buy some, but anyway I'm PMing the fixed version.
EDIT: so what I'm basically saying is that through my own stupitidy that I wrote a bad post. Since that wouldn't impair my judgement.

Well, I've sent away my battle post and RP post... waiting for you to do the same Lyle, although you'll probably only have an RP post, as you are basically just a little punk pregnant dog in my army ^_^
You are part of my Cavalry Regiment. Remember that.

The Dawn of Sunrise, Fields of of Conclusion
It was a place where tension and energy ran, where peace strove to break free, and to be broken by the clashing of swords and arrows, spears and other weapons of destruction. For here, it was that Cao Cao persued them onto these fields. But, Cao Cao knows it's only a matter of time before Shu's reinforcements come. Quickly, quickly, now is the time for battle..
Liu Bei's Post:
In the early morning light, a group of 100 battle-hardened horsemen and their leader appeared along a north-easterly road. The sun, a yellowish orb hidden by strangely shaped cloud formations. The clouds themselves were not the strange part, but it was the speed and direction in which they moved that was alarming. They moved several miles west, and clocked about 120○ to the east, and continued to swirl around in a similar fashion for several miles in all directions. The superstitious would perceive this as an omen. The sages would think nothing of it, and the scholars would furiously scribble notes and pictures down onto scrolls. It was an omen alright, but to what, no one but Liu Bei knew.
Liu Bei, who rode in the front of the four-columned formation raised his hand suddenly, keeping his wrist locked straight and palm flat, giving the universal order to halt. The horses whined and neighed as Liu Bei’s horsemen pulled on the reins. Liu Bei continued to have his horse trot along for about 15 paces, before pulling on the reins himself, and stopping his horse abruptly. He then turned it so that he was facing the formation.
The horsemen, the few who actually survived fighting against the turbans as part of Liu Bei’s volunteer unit, knew full well the dangers of battle. The knew that their individual rode on the each other’s shoulders, and that in order to achieve victory, that they’d have to work as a cohesive force. They knew Liu Bei was a capable commander from the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. From fighting at the walls of Wan against Sun Zhong, and alongside the magnificent Zhu Jun, to battling the remnants of the turban menace at Bei Hai with Kong Rong, they knew they need not harbor doubt in Liu Bei’s abilities. But, one could not tell this is the case from the looks on their sullen faces, and Liu Bei needed to make certain that his men would have the will to fight hard in the face of danger, and possibly even death. That his men would stand fast against Cao Cao’s oncoming hordes.
“My soldiers, no my friends, I need not caution you against the path that you have chosen. And I need not whip you up into fervor or remind you of the consequences of desertion, as you all chose to accompany me of your own free will. As you all know, we will most certainly be outnumbered, as Lord Mengde controls vast territory, and numbers of fighting men unfathomed by the depths of our nation’s greatest scholars. Know that he will use his cunning mind to crush not only our bodies, but our spirits as well. Know that the lives of not only yourselves, but the lives of the brothers we have made for ourselves ride upon the brink of obliteration in this battle. My brothers, the Hero of Chaos will make his greatness apparent in this battle! But fear not! For what we lack in numbers, we make up for in mettle! We, the proud few who voluntarily stood against the Great Enemy, Zhang Jue, will also make our greatness apparent in the upcoming battle! The situation, though bleak, will improve in due time! Initially, Mengde will have every advantage over us, but know this; my sworn brothers, leading the rest of our brethren are riding to our aid at this very moment! We need only hold out until they arrive, then we will make our existence known to the world!!” As he Liu Bei shouted this last line, the clouds suddenly parted, and a small beam of light shone down upon his head. “We will fight, we may not win, but we will not be forgotten! By this battle’s end, the heaven’s themselves will tremble at utterance of our names, at the coming of our footsteps!” And with that, the beam of light swelled to include the entirety of the unit. The iron blades of the spears glinted in the sun, and their armor, a mix of cloth and studded leather also reflected some light. It was as if the Heavens themselves granted Liu Bei and his riders their blessings. “None can stand against us, not even the Hero of Chaos!” At this last word, Xuande’s hand curled up into a fist, and rocketed into the air. A series of booming war cries echoed from their position, and as they stood in their stirrups, raising their spears into the air, the clouds parted completely, and the sun bathed the land in its all-encompassing glory.
Liu Bei, who had joined in the revelry of his men, now turned his horse about, and shouted the command to resume marching out to his men. They all rode with pride in their breast, ready, no, eager to face Cao Cao’s soldiers in battle. Liu Bei was right, even if they lost, they would not be forgotten by the annals of history.
Rally Speech: +5 Inspiration! Hiding In Forest! Men are hidden from sight!
Meanwhile, among his ranks, a few of his officers began to stir.. including one in particular, a veteren beyond other veterens.
Sun Asmo's Post:
Sun Asmo, listened to the speech with no real stirring of emotion, sucking deeply on his opium pipe, a nifty little thing he been keeping in some supply from the river ports he visits. The pipe clenched in his teeth, Sun Asmo looked up at the sky the sky was serenity in itself, of course inhaling deeply Sun would of considered a typhoon a beautiful thing. “friend?” Sun muttered with a dismissive gesture with the hand holding his pipe, ha I’m merely a jumped up mercenary in this force. The soldiers walking next to Sun Asmo shook their head and ignored the fact Sun was talking to himself rather loudly again. Although they thought he was crazy when he took to the pipe, his fighting skills and leadership capabilities far exceeded a common soldier, which is why he was granted the rank of Major. Sun briefly glanced around for a old friend who strangely received the rank of Lieutenant, a fact that irked the man to no end. Laughing with glee after failing to spot his old friend Sun continued to walk with the infantry. Sun exhaling a column of smoke, smiled. Sun was regretting there was no infantry since Sun wasn’t much for cavalry charge tactic, “Plus its easier to light this damn pipe walking then on a trotting horse.” Raising a hand to block the accursed sun rising in the east, as the small force seemed to be facing north, then again inhaling deeply again, he didn’t really care which way they was facing, he thought with a smirk. Sun then shouted loudly, “Aye, the lord is right, we will not win, at fighting…or something like that, and they will stutter saying our names.” A few soldiers muttered but said nothing. Sun took another deep inhalation and to his annoyance realized there was nothing but ash. “bah” he cursed himself of the fact he was out, putting away the pipe. Sun slowly started coming down, no doubt to the soldiers minds they were happy that he’d run out for battle was expected soon.
Rally Speech: +1 Inspiration to 70% of the men! (Men are wary of Sun Asmo..)
Maximus's Post:
Maximus' eyes glimmered an autum red as the men began speaking of nobel things and honorable ways. Maximus could feel the wind slowly brush against his face, the slight sway in the grass as each breath seemed an eternal moment in time. Maximus' blade began to move with the wind, each in a slow and soft motion, but when the smallest piece of grass came near, it seemed to die in a dance with the sword, each falling to the hard dirt. Maximus continued practicing his sword moved slowly with the wind but each move was with a leathal cut. His body was completly relaxed, it hardly seemed like he moved at all. Maximus' blade finally stopped with the wind, a hush fell over the circle of men. His eyes looked up, the all to familiar haunting glare that struck fear into the hearts of men, as his tattered hair waved in the wind.
"Men, we have not blades of strength nor armies of skill, yet on this day, we fight. Not for glory nor for gold, we fight for our lives men, with each breath of life that goes in you, there is a chance for your enemy to take that life. Do not let them take it, we must sieze our victory by the throat and do not let go until it is yours."
Then Maximus reached underneath his shirt, he pulled out a raggedy piece of cloth, it was stained brown and red all over, he rolled out the cloth, a ripped and torn flag waved gently in the wind.
"This flag has been to me with every battle I have so barely survived, it bears no man or countries name. It is stained with the blood of my comrads, it is not much men, but let it be your guide amongst the chaos that follows."
The seemingly innocent rag, had a certain benevolance to it, only one word was written on the flag, it could barely be made out amongst the bloodied cloth but somehow everyone knew it said..
Fearless
Rally Speech: +3 Inspiration to 20% of the men!
Meanwhile, the forces of Wei were slowly closing in, eager to join in battle.. descending down, from the North-Eastern plains, awaiting for the supply forces to arrive, Cao Cao began his advance..
Cao Cao's Post:
A plans with two hilly mountains situated to create a small valley. Cao Cao, the founding leader of the Wei Dynasty, an up and coming force, sat atop a meager brown horse, looking at his own units. Swordsmen, a cavalry regiment of 100 Ace men, sat formed behind him. On their flanks, 50 Spear Militia stood, holding their spears up tight. With a snarl, Cao Cao Called out to his men.
Men, today, we fight against a former ally. The Shu Kingdom, a hegemmony of 'good will' and 'virtue' has taken the field against us. So much for virtue.
Today, we shall destroy these creatins, these men who call themselves saints. We shall split them in twain, and destroy what little hope they have. We outnumber them 2 to 1, with swords and spears that they themselves could only hope for.
So, our plan is this.
Spearmen, take to going into the valley, and holding it. Phalanx out under your commanders orders, and hold that pass. I want No cavalry and No man to get through alive.
Horsemen, we will double around the back, and hit the enemy from behind. Lets go. We can not delay.
The militia stamped their spears upon the ground, and began moving toward the pass. The Horses beighed as the handlers kicked them hard, and they shot off, keeping ranks perfectly due to their abilities. Cao Cao rode with them, knowing fully well he could be throwing himself into danger, but knowing that if he didn't lead these men, he'd never get respect.
He could only hope that his spear units would be able to hold back Liu Bei's men long enough for them to circle round.
