Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 116
Chapter 116 Reverse Defense to Attack (2)
After that was the thousand Zhangjiajun cavalry led by Zhang Chao. They had already taken out their spears and were ready to kill the enemy in close combat.
The last was the hundreds of archers led by Huang Xu. They were the best archers amongst these people, and they were also the strongest. The archers who could easily take a person’s life in two hundred steps were now organized together. Often, where Huang Xu pointed, the arrow feathers would land on the ground, and it would be a pile of corpses of the Yellow Scarf Army.
The general in the yellow scarf army, Yu Du, saw the riding and shooting power of Zhang Jiajun. After seeing that more than a thousand people had died before they got close to the enemy, he could not help but feel that it was not a coincidence that Zhang Chao could be named a general. I indeed had strength.
However, although he was shocked in his heart, Yu Du did not think that he would lose this battle. After all, he had a huge advantage in numbers. Even if he was tired, his opponent would die of exhaustion. Isn’t it as powerful as the Dragon and Tiger Army before? However, he was still being dragged down by his own fatigue tactics, and was about to be completely annihilated?
Yu Du was very confident that the final victory would belong to him. However, when he saw the might of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were the first to come into contact with him, he couldn’t help but feel a little uncertain about the confidence in his heart.
Facing the regular army, Dian Wei and Xu Chu could fight against hundreds of them, not to mention that this time they were only fighting the yellow turban army that was converted from the people. Most of them were short of food and clothing, which made most of them skinny and lacking in strength. Compared to this, the two of them had an advantage in terms of strength. As soon as they charged into the enemy army, the iron halberd and broadsword were waved. Countless people who were close to them had their heads broken, their bodies pierced, and they were knocked to the ground.
As soon as the two of them entered the Yellow Scarf Army with a huge force, they were able to kill everyone in all directions. The direct result was that they had forcefully blasted out two bloody paths in the army. Looking in that direction, they were heading straight for the Yu Poison Central Army.
“Block them, block them.” Seeing the two torrents approaching him, Yu Du was a little scared. He couldn’t figure out who these two were. God or man?
If it was a human, how could it be so destructive?
If it was a god, how could it appear beside Zhang Chao and be driven by him?
Dian Wei and Xu Chu found experience in the battle in the city. The deaths of Li Damu and Yang Feng caused the ten thousand yellow turban army to crash into each other like headless flies. They thought that if they could kill Yu Du, wouldn’t this cause the twenty thousand yellow turban army to become chaotic as well?
For this reason, the two of them were highly skilled and courageous. No matter how many people there were in the enemy army, they only rushed forward with their weapons.
The two of them charged forward with one left and one right Fang Gong. Wherever they went, none of them were their enemies. Whoever blocked the way was either struck by a halberd or an axe. Slowly, everyone knew how powerful they were and began to deliberately avoid them, allowing them to get closer to the poisonous Zhongjun Lands even faster.
Cooperating with him was Zhao Yun, who was leading the Dragon and Tiger Army in the middle.
After seeing that Dian Wei and Xu Chu had killed the Zhongjun of Yu Du on their own, Zhao Yun was unwilling to fall behind and immediately brought three hundred Dragon Tiger Army to follow suit. The rest just now, although not for long, but for zhao yun and his army to restore physical strength also played a certain role in relieving. Right now, Lord was right behind them, and all of their physical strength had been activated at this moment.
The three torrents surged forward like waves from the sea, killing the Yellow Scarf Army into several groups. Yu Du, who had been killed in the Central Army, was shocked and was bringing people back continuously.
Compared to the bravery of Zhao Yun and the others, some of the Yellow Scarf Army bullied the weak and feared the strong, mainly targeting Zhang Chao.
In their eyes, although there were many people here, Zhang Chao wasn’t that terrifying. Previously, they had only seen the might of his bow and arrow. Perhaps, his melee combat ability was just average.
As a result, many of the yellow turban army surrounded Zhang Chao’s thousand Zhang Clan light cavalry with the intention of probing.
“Prepare to shoot!” Seeing countless Yellow Scarf Army soldiers surround him, Zhang Chao waved his sword without fear.
Zhang Chao knew that his strength was definitely not comparable to Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu. All he could do was to attract more Yellow Scarf troops over and create better conditions for the three Tiger Generals. Perhaps this was a chance to turn the tables on them.
Thousands of Zhang Clan cavalry shouted as they unleashed their spears. His movements were so orderly and neat that the Yellow Scarf Army that was rushing forward couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Was this kind of army easy to deal with?
The Zhang Clan cavalry were first taught by Zhao Yun and were very similar in spear techniques. Later, Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong, Lyu bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu all became their teachers. With so many powerful masters, the close combat ability of a master teacher would have increased by countless times. However, because of the needs of the war, they rarely had the chance to engage in close combat like this.
Now that Zhang Chao had given them a chance, all of them immediately tensed up their strength, ready to attack at any time, kill the enemy at any time, and display their might at any time.
“Kill!” Seeing the Yellow Scarf Army approaching, Zhang Chao also gave the final order to attack and kill. In an instant, the 1,000-man line was formed into a one-word dragon. Then, 1,000 spears of the same standard were brandished out, piercing towards the Yellow Scarf Army that was charging towards them with spears, daggers, sticks, hoes, iron bars, and shovels.
The long spear’s attack carried a soul-shaking power. Especially when a thousand spears were stabbed out together, the scene was extremely grand and spectacular. As the thousand spears shot out, they brought with them a mess of blood and corpses that had fallen to the ground one by one.
A thousand people were killed in a single exchange of blows. This terrifying combat strength caused a burst of internal strife among the other Yellow Scarf Army soldiers.
They originally thought that they had found a soft persimmon, but what they did encounter was that it was indeed a bronze wall.
The Yellow Scarf Army in front wanted to retreat because of the strength of the Zhang Clan cavalry, but the Yellow Scarf Army behind them was still rushing forward. For a moment, the crowd was crowded, forming a stalemate.
Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, Zhang Chao knew that an opportunity would come, so he immediately ordered loudly, “Zhang Jiajun, attack. Ten people in a team, kill the enemy according to the usual training.”
Ten people in a team was Zhang Chao’s method of attack, which was based on class. He had once done an experiment. As long as they cooperated well, ten people would be able to release several times their own strength.
After Zhangjiajun received the new order, the thousand-man troop split into a hundred and charged towards the gallbladder-shattering Yellow Scarf Army from all directions.
The advantage of a team of ten was that it was more flexible and mobile.
The usual training finally came in handy. Under the charge and assault of a hundred squads, the Yellow Scarf Army fell to the ground one by one. Their formations, which were originally still attacking, were instantly disintegrated, and their battle hearts were thrown into chaos.
On the other side, Zhao Yun and the others were getting farther and farther away from the poison.
When a person’s physical strength finally ran out, at the beginning, he rushed forward with a bit of courage and killed quite a few enemies. However, as time went on, even his arms started to feel numb and sour. In addition, the poison was also retreating step by step, causing the distance between the two sides to widen.
“Charge forward and kill them. If you kill one of the three, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and you will be given the title of Thousand Marquis.” Yu Du, who had retreated to a safe distance, began to use the high rewards to excite his subordinates.
The reason why ordinary people chose the Yellow Scarf Army was not because of the three situations.
First, he could not survive without money and food, so investing in gold was a way out.
Second, he didn’t want to work hard to live a life without worrying about food and drink, adding the yellow scarf could make up the numbers.
Third, those who want to stand out, find no way out, and borrow the Yellow Scarf Army to create their own merits, are rich and noble.
But no matter what kind of mentality it was, whether it was money, merit, or position, under such stimulation, they would do things that they normally wouldn’t dare to imagine. With Yu Du’s words, some courageous Yellow Scarf Army abandoned the fear in their hearts and began to surround Zhao Yun and the others.
At this moment, Zhao Yun, like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, became alone. This was all because he moved too fast, making the Dragon Tiger Army behind him unable to keep up with his pace.
Right now, the three of them were like lonely boats in the sea, surrounded by yellow-scarf men, and they were still gathering more and more.
If the situation developed like this, then Zhao Yun and the others would have a life-threatening situation. After all, the so-called ten thousand enemies were not able to defeat ten thousand people at once, but under the leadership of this person, they could increase the strength of his army by several times. They were able to defeat ten thousand people.
Zhang Chao and the Zhang Clan cavalry were engaged in a close combat with the Yellow Scarf Army. Although they understood the situation of Zhao Yun and the others, they were helpless. Looking from afar, Zhang Chao felt that the speed at which the three of them attacked and killed their enemies was not as fast as before. Zhang Chao’s face was filled with anxiety. If any of the three of them died in battle, it would be a great loss to him.
“Zhang Jiajun, kill them at all costs and save the three of them.” Even though he knew that he couldn’t do it, he could only do it now. The so-called easy access to a thousand gold, one will be difficult to ask for, whether it was their bravery or loyalty, these three people were incomparable to other people, and nothing could happen to them.
With Zhang Chao’s order, dozens of Zhangjiajun began to charge towards Zhao Yun and the others at all costs. In the process of the attack, the formation was in a mess, and it was inevitable that flaws would appear. One after another, the Zhang Clan’s light cavalry fell on the road of the attack. However, as long as Zhang Chao’s orders were not withdrawn, no one would stop their charge. Even if they knew that they would die in battle, they knew that Second Childe had given them their lives.
Seeing the cavalry of the Zhangjiajun cavalry that he had personally trained fall from their horses and then be killed by the Yellow Scarf Army, Zhang Chao felt his heart bleed and his heart ached.
