Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Pick A General
Originally, the city walls were low, and they weren’t strong. Moreover, considering that he was carrying cavalry, if he refused to fight the city and couldn’t display his advantage, then it would be better to directly leave the city and seize the people’s voices first, showing their strong and vigorous fighting intent.

Bai Lao also saw the neat army of Zhang Chao and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “There really are people who aren’t afraid of death.” “Isn’t that better? Without the city wall as cover, we can better surround and annihilate them,” he said.

“That’s right, what Brother Bai said is extremely true. This time, it will be up to you and me to make a great contribution.” Yu Du said happily.

“Alright, then let’s go over. If we don’t believe that we can still lose with 50,000 against thousands, then can we?” Bai Lao was also full of confidence. In his view, the outcome of the battle was already in front of him.

Under the leadership of Poison and Bai Luan, the fifty thousand yellow scarves and various weapons in his hands slowly approached Zhang Chao’s army.

“Lord, should we take advantage of each other’s unstable footing to kill them now?” Zhao Yun held the silver spear in his hand and was ready to attack.

After a night’s rest, Zhao Yun’s stamina had recovered by 90%. Now, all he had to do was avenge the 1,800 brothers who had died in the Dragon Tiger Army.

‘”There’s no hurry. Everything is going according to plan. We only have 6,000 people. Although attacking recklessly will take advantage of us, if we really start a chaotic battle, I’m afraid the losses will be too great. We have to destroy their morale first. If we fight like this, we’ll be able to succeed in one blow.” Zhang Chao did not agree to Zhao Yun’s request.

If this was the army of other dukes, they would probably borrow the enemy to attack from afar. However, this was Heishan Army. Originally, his combat strength was not enough. Now that he was attacking, even though he would gain the first chance, the price would be a little too high.

Zhang Chao did not allow the attack immediately, because he did not put Heishan Army in his heart. These were just temporary armies formed by people who could not survive or were bewitched. Apart from the large number of people, their combat strength was average. Therefore, in history, whether it was Heishan Army versus Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, there was no real victory.

Zhang Chao was confident that these people could not be his opponents, so there was no need to take risks. What he was thinking now was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, how to turn Little Sheng into a big victory, how to capture more yellow scarves. Huang Zhong had already said that Bingzhou City was vast, and because of the small number of people, there were still a lot of wastelands. These coolies came at the right time.

“Look, look at how close we are. They don’t dare to attack either. In my opinion, it’s just bluffing.” Bai Luan’s pace of advancement was still a little slow. He knew that most of the troops in his hands had never been in a formation like this without any training. Once the opponent suddenly launched an attack, under fear and fear, it was very likely that he would suffer a loss. He had also made certain preparations for this.

However, he did not expect that Zhang Chao would actually not make a move at the distance of two miles. He could not help but feel relieved. He believed that this was the reason why the other party was afraid of him.

In order to cheer up his brother, Yu Du also said, “This Zhang Chao is nothing. If it weren’t for Li Damu and Yang Feng being too stupid, they would have won the battle yesterday.”

“Haha, alright, then brother will come to help you today. I am not Li Daimu’s generation. You just need to let go of your attacks later.” Bai Lao laughed.

“Alright, then I’ll let a few generals deal with the enemy’s generals first. As long as we kill that Zhao Yun, everything else will be settled.” Yu Du had witnessed Zhao Yun’s methods yesterday and knew that this person was very powerful, so he had the thought of killing this person first and then fighting.

“Alright, then we’ll kill this person first. You just need to send someone to challenge him later. I’ll give you the array.” Bai Lao also heard Yu Du say that Zhao Yun was powerful and wanted to kill him first.

The two of them discussed as they moved forward. When they were 800 meters away from Zhang Chao, the army stopped and began to organize their formation.

A team like this with 50,000 people, It would be troublesome to arrange the troops neatly and make them look imposing. The two generals had sent out more than ten small leaders for less than half an hour to make the troops in front of them look more eye-catching. As for whether the troops behind them were arranged neatly or not, it didn’t matter.

Zhang Chao looked at the other party without any action. Actually, he was still waiting. He even hoped that the other party would delay a little longer. In this way, the reinforcements of the Hu Pass would arrive. At that time, he would have more confidence under the pincer attack from both sides.

The troops finally arranged themselves in an orderly manner, and the dozen or so leaders returned to the side of the two generals. Then, Du Xiang pointed at Zhang Chao and said to his subordinates, “The other party has a general named Zhao Yun. He has some tricks. However, he was already exhausted from yesterday’s battle, but I don’t know who has the courage to take him down. I will reward him with a thousand gold taels and confer him the title of Marquis of Wanhou.”

Whether it was the Yellow Scarf Army or Heishan Army, they only had one magic treasure to win against the enemy, and that was a high reward to boost their morale. When Yu Du used this move, six leaders expressed their desire to fight one after another.

“Alright, just the six of you. We’ll see what we can do later.” Seeing the morale of his subordinates so high, Yu Du said in a very gratified tone.

Six generals immediately agreed, and then they came forward together to destroy the horse. They moved four hundred meters forward, and only stopped when they were four hundred meters away from Zhang Chao.

“Hey, is there someone called Zhao Yun who dares to fight against our brothers?” One of the red-faced bald men pointed an iron rod at Zhang Chao’s camp and shouted loudly.

“Lord, I’ll go.” Zhao Yun heard that someone was challenging him, even if he couldn’t suppress his anger, he wanted to rush up.

“Alright, Zilong, don’t worry. I’m here to see your might. If anyone wants to use a hidden arrow, I’ll break it.” Zhang Chao nodded. He had counts of Zhao Yun’s abilities, but it wasn’t eye catching that he was only the six little leaders of the Montenegrin Army who weren’t famous.

Zhang Chao agreed, and Zhao Yun immediately patted the Nightshine Jade Lion and left the camp.

Zhao Yun, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad face, and a dignified appearance, immediately attracted Yu Du’s loud shout, “That’s right, it’s this person. Kill him for me.”

Yu Du ordered, his six generals did not care about whether to sign up or not, so he rushed up and surrounded Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, who was surrounded by the six people, did not have the slightest trace of panic in his eyes. When he saw that the weapons used by the six people were so messy, and when he saw that the six horses were already pitifully thin and weak, he first narrowed his eyes and shook his head gently. Afterwards, his eyes widened, and he raised his gun and stabbed.

Facing people who didn’t play according to the rules, Zhao Yun also wouldn’t follow the rules. The silver spear in his hand suddenly smashed down from below, causing a small leader of the Montenegrin Army to scream and block with his saber raised.

This person held a short saber in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. It was entirely a large saber-soldier-like outfit specifically designed for archers.

To say that such equipment could deal with archers, it was not enough to stop a general like Zhao Yun. He only blocked the short saber. He first heard an ear-splitting collision of weapons. Then, his entire right arm felt numb and sour. He felt as if he had been hit by a ten thousand jin boulder, causing him to release the short saber from his hand.

With just a single strike, the dagger in his hand was abandoned. Then, the little leader holding the wooden shield panicked. He did not expect Zhao Yun to look weak, but his strength was indeed so great. Without noticing for a moment, he had lost his weapon, and all he had left was to raise his shield to block the attack.

Heishan Army’s resources were extremely scarce. Most of the shields were made of wood. The same was true for this little leader. He stood in front of him with the wooden shield in hand, trying to block Zhao Yun’s attack.

The spear pressed down, sending the dagger flying, and then

The spear retracted and pierced through the wooden shield.

The essence of the spear technique was its accuracy. For someone like Zhao Yun who came from a master teacher and worked very hard, the spear was not superb, but it was not an exaggeration to say that it was perfect. This stab hit the middle of the wooden shield. Then, the spear turned around. The powerful rotating force caused a huge hole to spread out from the middle of the shield. With a single breath, the entire wooden shield was smashed into pieces. After that, the spear was handed over and pierced through the chest of the small leader of the Montenegro Army who had no defensive capabilities.

In just two moves, he pierced through a small leader’s body and killed a general. This caused many of the Yellow Scarf Army members who were watching this scene to gasp.

“Good boy.” Seeing this scene, Zhang Chao first shouted good-bye, and then laughed loudly. This kind of fighting style could even suppress the morale of the Yellow Scarf Army. This was extremely beneficial to the following battles.

“Ya!” Seeing his companion die, the other five little leaders each called out, and then greeted Zhao Yun with all the weapons in their hands. They originally thought that their companions could last for a few rounds no matter what, which was equivalent to giving them a chance to attack. However, he never thought that his companion would be so vulnerable, so he couldn’t help but shout and rush forward.

Facing

Zhao Yun dodged the collective attack of the five little leaders of Heishan Army. With just one dodge, the Nightshine Jade Lion easily dodged to the side, causing all five weapons to be emptied.

The combined force of the five strikes did not hit Zhao Yun, giving him a chance to counterattack. Seeing that the general on the left had revealed a flaw due to the attack, he swept his gun back and hit the small leader’s back with his gun. The powerful force caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall down from his horse.

There were only four people left. Zhao Yun rode his horse and the bright silver spear in his hand beckoned to the four of them. For a moment, the four of them were so shocked that they continuously flew back to avoid its sharpness.
