Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Reverse Defense to Attack (1)
Yang Feng was shocked and fled the horse. Only then did she manage to dodge the fatal saber attack. However, where his horse had left, a huge pit had indeed been smashed open.

The might of the halberd intimidated the rest of the Yellow Scarf Army. Seeing the death of their leader, the lieutenants immediately turned around and fled. Without a commander, ten thousand sheep were not as threatening to humans as a lion.

“Where can I escape?” After Yang Feng fled and dodged an axe, another loud roar came, followed by an iron halberd chasing after him in a straight line in midair. Unexpectedly, after Yang Feng had escaped for about twenty to thirty feet, he had hit the heart behind him. Immediately, the deputy general of the Yellow Scarf Army fell down from above.

“Ah!” Seeing that the lieutenant general wanted to escape, and seeing that countless cavalry were rushing out of the county government’s entrance, the Yellow Scarf Army, who didn’t know Zhang Chao’s background, felt scared and fled even faster.

“Hahaha, Old Xu, you lost to me again.” He took a few steps forward and retrieved his iron halberd from Yang Feng’s body. Dian Wei laughed and said to the depressed Xu Chu behind him.

“Hmph! It’s just killing a timid lieutenant general. What kind of ability is it? Let’s see who killed the best of us next. Come on, lead the horse.” Xu chu said unwilling to admit defeat. As soon as he finished speaking, an iron guard brought over a fat horse.

To say that Xu Chu and Dian Wei’s figures were too sturdy, so that ordinary horses could not carry them at all. For this reason, Zhang Chao specially arranged for people to go to Chang’an, found the horse dealer Zhu Xi, and bought the same tall Jade Dragon Horse and Mountain Foal Horse, which was barely enough for the two of them to use.

Xu Chu, who was riding the Emerald Dragon Horse, ignored Dian Wei Zhun’s preparations and shouted loudly. He rode his horse and chased after the escaping Yellow Scarf Army.

“You cheat, kid.” Dian Wei, who was behind him, cursed angrily. Then, he rode the Mountain Colt Horse led by the Iron Guard and chased after him.

Zhang Chao personally went on the battlefield, in addition to Dian Wei and Xu Chu’s sudden attack, things went smoothly, after killing Yang Feng, the yellow turban army did not have any fighting spirit, and fled one after another.

Zhang Chao rode on the White Crane Horse, with two tiger generals and a group of elites of the Zhangjiajun chasing after him. If these people did not kill with all their might, they would be in danger of returning at any moment.

Under the pursuit of Zhang Chao’s army, the Yellow Scarf Army scattered in all directions. However, most of them chose to go to the place where the poison was located. They knew that there were twenty thousand troops here, so it should be the safest to come here.

Outside the city, the yellow scarf army was surrounding Zhao Yun.

After a few in and out, although Zhao Yun had killed countless enemy soldiers, he was still outnumbered. Under the complete disadvantage of his troops, his physical strength had been exhausted too much, and the Dragon Tiger Army had dropped from five hundred to three hundred.

Almost everyone was injured. If it weren’t for the current enemy, many people would have fallen off their horses. Now, they were completely supported by a spirit, or the courage of the Lord General Zhao Yun made these people have no reason not to risk their lives.

“There are reinforcements?” Zhao Yun, who had just come out of the enemy camp, saw a lot of yellow scarves running out of the city, and his expression became bitter. He thought that the enemy’s reinforcements had arrived, and he seemed to feel a sense of hopelessness.

The mountains and rivers were filled with suspicion, and the willows blossomed brightly again and again. Often, when a person was facing the darkest, it was also the closest to the light. Just as Zhao Yun was thinking of risking his life to repay Zhang Chao’s kindness, he suddenly saw another team running behind the yellow scarf army, which was also very obvious in the darkness.

“It’s Lord! It’s reinforcements!” Zhao Yun shouted when he saw that flag, which was the flag unique to the Zhangjiajun army. At the same time, he felt that his entire body was suddenly filled with strength.

The three hundred Dragon and Tiger Army were also shocked by Zhao Yun’s shouts. They turned around and saw that it was indeed the Zhangjiajun who rushed over to support them. They all felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

“Kill them and meet up with Lord.” Zhaoyun immediately made a decision, that is to meet up with zhang chao, he knew that the dragon and tiger army is close to exhaustion, if continue to fight like this, there is likely to be a danger of annihilation.

Zhao Yun shouted as he brought the 300 Dragon and Tiger Army closer to the city gate and rushed towards the Yellow Scarf Army that had just escaped from the city.

The Yellow Scarf Army’s commanders and lieutenants were all dead. They were originally lonely like children without parents. Being chased by zhang chao army is already miserable, originally thought out of the city, found in poison, is found the way home, where do you still think, the opposite of another enemy rushed over?

Under Zhao Yun’s attack, several hundred more yellow turban soldiers were killed, and fewer than two thousand people had actually escaped.

Zhang Chao received Zhao Yun head-on. When he saw that only three hundred of the two thousand Dragon Tiger Army were left, and that everyone was injured, and that Zhao Yun himself was dyed in a blood-stained red cloak, he almost burst into tears.

This was his Tiger General. In order to protect his own safety, he would rather risk his last drop of blood to block the attack of the Yellow Scarf Army.

This is Zhao Zilong, a courageous and loyal general. The ancients did not deceive me.

“Someone, protect Zilong and the others and go to the back to rest. It’s up to us now.” Although there weren’t many troops beside him, after seeing Zhao Yun and the others fight to this extent, Zhang Chao had no intention of letting them fight to the death.

“Master, the Dragon Tiger Army is still fine.” Zhaoyun came to zhang chao, feeling the kindness of master, but because of this, he did not admit defeat said.

“Alright, Zilong, good job. In this way, you guys can rest in the back for a while and be the last team to charge.” Zhang Chao did not reject Zhao Yun’s request. He knew that the heart of a brave general could not be cold.

“Thank you, Lord.” After Zhao Yun clasped his fists with the silver spear, he turned around and said to the Dragon Tiger Army behind him, “Everyone rest for a while. We’ll be fighting later.”

The Dragon Tiger Army retreated, and Zhang Chao brought the less than 1,500 Zhangjiajun cavalry to the front, colliding with the Yu Poison Army that was chasing him.

At this moment, there were less than 15,000 people in the Yu Du army, and Zhao Yun and the Dragon Tiger Army had indeed tormented them. But even so, it was still superior in terms of numbers.

Originally, when he saw so many yellow turban brothers escaping from the city, Yu Du was surprised. He thought that it was Zhang Chao’s reinforcements, but after seeing that there were only more than a thousand cavalry, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. Of course, he still wanted to scold Li Damu and Yang Feng for their stupidity in his heart.

From the mouth of the escaped Yellow Scarf Army, he knew that the two of them were dead. Yu Du truly did not have the slightest sympathy. In his opinion, it was precisely this kind of stupid general that caused the Yellow Scarf Army’s combat strength to slow down and not be able to shake the world.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the early Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Scarf Army had always held a great advantage in numbers, but in the end, it did not do anything. It was entirely because of its poor combat strength. Most of them were ordinary people who were not trained, but had no food to eat. Long periods of laziness and lack of discipline prevented them from becoming a peasant rebellion that could fight and win.

This was also the reason why Zhang Chao’s 3,500-strong army had defeated him with an advantage of 30,000 men. Without any training or uniform weapons or formations, they had nowhere else to go except for their large numbers.

After confirming that Zhang Chao only had these soldiers, Yu Du brought over more than 10,000 troops to face him head-on.

From afar, 15,000 people still had an imposing aura in the darkness. Zhang Chao naturally felt this kind of might as he fought against the main general. In order to break the pressure, he said loudly, “Brothers, do you see this? These are our enemies. They have all kinds of weapons and are dressed in all sorts of clothes.” Are they real soldiers? No? “They are just ordinary people who have been bewitched by Zhang Jiao, Zhang Yan, and the others. Most of them haven’t even killed a chicken before. Now they really want to come and deal with us. Brothers, say, can we retreat when facing such a person?”

“No!” All the Zhangjiajun brothers replied in unison. At the same time, they also paid attention to each other and found that Zhang Chao was right. These people were really just ordinary people. Even if it wasn’t a regular army, what was there to fear?

“If the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack the enemy. So what if it is an ordinary citizen? If they want to take our lives, can they just let them take it?” Zhang Chao loudly asked the members of the Zhangjiajun behind him again.

“No!” More than a thousand people behind him answered in unison.

“Right, no. Even so, the warriors, pick up our longbow and let these enemies know how powerful our Zhangjiajun is. Prepare-let go!” Zhang Chao saw his own army’s imposing manner, so he took advantage of this opportunity to speak sharply.

With Zhang Chao’s words, more than a thousand Zhangjiajun raised the bow and arrow in their hands, then fiercely pulled the bowstring in front of them, then released it, and the arrow pierced through the void.

More than a thousand arrows slashed down like shooting stars, causing the Yellow Scarf Army, which was rushing at the front, to collapse.

“Prepare again, release!” Seeing that the bow and arrow were working, Zhang Chao shouted loudly again. He was going to use this method to consume the enemy’s life force.

Three consecutive waves of bows and arrows shot out, killing at least a thousand people from the Yellow Scarf Army. Seeing that the enemy had already rushed to a distance of less than fifty steps, Zhang Chao raised the long sword in his hand and said, “Children, kill with me!”

“Kill!” Dian Wei and Xu Chu’s two tiger generals were the first to jump out, like two fierce tigers, charging straight towards the sheep on the opposite side.

After these two were the three hundred Dragon and Tiger Army led by Zhao Yun. After Zhang Chao appeared, although their stamina was insufficient, their spirits were full.
