Chapter 212 - Pursuit of Zhang Jiao
After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army in the imperial capital, they fled all the way east, and the princes' armies along the way surrounded and intercepted the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army was tired and had no intention of coping, resulting in more and more heavy losses for the Yellow Turban Army, and corpses were everywhere.
The princes and armies who were all scared to death before, and did not dare to confront the Yellow Turban Army head-on, even if the alliance of the Great Han Immortal League was surrounded, they were unwilling to do their best, but now in front of interests, they are all scrambling, wanting to put the Yellow Turban Army to death, eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, and strive for military merit, so as to ask for rewards from the Great Han Immortal League.
The expeditionary army led by Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song was chasing after the Yellow Turban Army's buttocks, and Zhang Jiao decided to cross Nanpi and go to Julu in order to find a way out. Nanpi is an important town, and it is also the only place for Zhang Jiao to return to Julu, before that, Zhang Jiao had already arranged for tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers to stay in this city, which was the retreat he had set for himself. Unexpectedly, the conquest army got the news, so they pursued hard, and did not want to run away with the meat in hand, at this time, the Yellow Turban army had just passed Leling, and it was about to be caught up by the conquest army, Zhang Jiao wanted to win a glimmer of life for the Yellow Turban Army, and decided to personally lead the generals to break off, so a battle began......
Zhang Jiao was defeated by Jian Shuo, the ultimate chaotic body, in the battle of the imperial capital, although he did not die, but he was also seriously injured, and then opened up a way for the Yellow Turban army, forcibly suppressed the injury, and exchanged it for powerful strength in the way of burning life energy, forcing back all the Yuan Infants, and it is not easy to support it until now, so Zhang Jiao is now unable to take action in person, so he can only command the broken Yellow Turban Army and watch the disciples to fight.
Soon, the vanguard of the expeditionary army caught up, and saw that the Yellow Turban Army had already set up a position here, so they also began to line up battle formations, preparing to destroy the Yellow Turban Army that was blocking the way.
The two armies fought, the killing sound shook the sky, and Zhang Jiao's disciples, except for Zhang Yan who stayed in the town of Montenegro, and **** Yi, who was commanding the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to flee to Nanpi, the remaining six disciples were all broken off with Zhang Jiao here. The six disciples, madness, led the Yellow Turban soldiers to impact the battle formation of the conquest army, their sacrifice to death, in exchange for the strong morale of the broken Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers rushed to kill the conquest army one by one, and under the strong offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, the conquest army battle array collapsed, and the two armies suddenly fell into chaos, although the Yellow Turban soldiers said that they were few enemies, but they were all fierce and not afraid of death, and the vanguard army of the conquest army was defeated and retreated.
The vanguard troops who repelled the expeditionary army finally saved some face for the defeated Yellow Turban Army, so that the Yellow Turban generals, who had been dull so far, finally had some joy. But the joy was not long in coming, and another great battle was coming, and it was the main force of the conquest army that had arrived.
The vicious battle started again, although the Yellow Turban Army soldiers resisted bravely, how could they be a hundred times stronger than themselves, plus these Jindan masters like Liu Guanzhang were in the conquest army, the Yellow Turban generals were suppressed, and soon, this Yellow Turban Army of only 1,000 people was surrounded by the conquest army.
If this continues, the whole army will be wiped out, but they still hold back the pace of the expeditionary army, so that the main force of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army can get rid of the pursuit. So Zhang Jiao and others were unwilling to fight again, and fought and retreated, even if the enemy was in front, the king did not reduce his arrogance, the brave general was fearless, and he was angry with his sword, and he was bound to kill the way forward.
Zhang Jiao didn't care about the punishment of the Heavenly Dao at all, and attacked the conquest soldiers who were blocking the way, and got rid of the siege of the conquest army with his disciples, and rushed in the direction of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. These, the three Yuan Babies of the Conquest Army saw it in their eyes, but they did not stop it, they would not be like Zhang Jiao, reckless of the consequences, attacking the soldiers whose realm was lower than them, because this was completely self-defeating, even if it seemed to be nothing now, they would be punished by Heaven in the future, so when they saw Zhang Jiao attacking the conscription soldiers, the three Yuan Infants of the Conscription Army were not only angry, but very happy, because Zhang Jiao would die soon.
After getting rid of the pursuit of the conquest army, Zhang Jiao and the disciples caught up with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and continued to retreat to Nanpi, just when everyone came to the city of Nanpi, but unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban defenders who stayed in Nanpi had already surrendered to the official army, at this time Nanpi was already under the power of Yuan Shao's side, and suddenly the arrows under the city were like rain, and the magic was like hail, attacking the Yellow Turban Army.
However, the angry Zhang Jiao failed to conquer the Nanpi held by Yuan Shao's army, but instead lost his troops and lost one after another due to the battle. After there were chasing soldiers, and the road ahead was blocked by the armies of the princes, Zhang Jiao decided to make a dangerous move, and planned to retreat in the direction of Leping, not to go to Julu first, but to turn to Montenegro and have a round with Zhang Yan.
Although Zhang Jiao's move avoided the encirclement of the princes' armies, he did not avoid Cao Cao, who had been waiting here, and was ambushed by Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others for a while, the Yellow Turban Army lost its armor and fled, and when he came to his senses, he found that Cao Cao's troops were very small, Zhang Jiao hurriedly organized the Yellow Turban Army to counterattack, and finally broke through the defense line of Cao Cao's army.
Although the Yellow Turban Army broke through Cao Cao's defense line, it also exposed its intentions, and the three Yuanying Zhenjun of the Expeditionary Army discussed and decided that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song would continue to pursue the main force of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, while Dong Zhuo would divide part of his troops to go to Montenegro to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro before Zhang Jiao and Zhang Yan had yet to fight, so that Zhang Jiao would fall into an isolated situation.
At this time, Long Xiangtian was already in the conquest army, and Liu Bei and others reunited, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici were also here, everyone was very happy, Liu Bei asked Long Xiangtian where he had gone before, Long Xiangtian was not good at telling the truth, so he lied that he had been in retreat and cultivation somewhere before, and he had only come out now.
After that, everyone began to discuss the whereabouts, Liu Bei thought that he should go to Montenegro with Dong Zhuo, because if he continued to pursue Zhang Jiao here, it would be difficult to make achievements for a while, and the six disciples under Zhang Jiao were not easy to deal with, so it was better to go to Montenegro to eliminate Zhang Yan, anyway, Zhang Jiao would come here to meet Zhang Yan in the future, wouldn't it be better to wait for him in front of Zhang Jiao.
Everyone thought about it and felt that what Liu Bei said made sense, so they all agreed with Liu Bei's proposal, so everyone began to follow Dong Zhuo's troops to Montenegro.
At this time, Zhang Yan, who was in Montenegro, had already learned the news of Zhang Jiao's defeat, although he still had 200,000 Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army, but at this time he was unable to move, unable to lead troops out to meet Zhang Jiao's defeated army, first, because there were many princes around Montenegro, especially Gongsun Zhan's strongest troops, and he had always wanted to annex Montenegro, and secondly, because at this time there were two fierce men under the mountain who wanted to attack Montenegro, and it was the existence of these two fierce men that made Zhang Yan dare not go out of the mountain half a step.
These two fierce people, if Long Xiangtian was here, he would be very surprised, and he would be elated, because these two people were Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, who had not seen each other for many years.
The reason why Lu Bu and Zhang Liao appeared here has to start with Lu Bu going out of Penglai to pursue the flying sword Red Rabbit. At the beginning, Lu Bu chased all the way in order to get Chitu, but he was teased by Chitu, and always kept a certain distance from Lu Bu, while Lu Bu was persevering, and what he had decided in his heart would not change. In this process, a lot of things have happened, and it is inevitable to meet other people to compete for Chitu, but everything that hinders Lu Bu was ruthlessly killed by Lu Bu, so that many people offended, so a group of people designed to ambush Lu Bu, but Lu Bu grew up in the 100,000 mountains, and the existence of monsters rolling in the pile of monsters saw through their traps at that time, so naturally they did not hit, but killed all the people.
Lu Bu has no mercy at all, he kills God when he meets God, and kills Buddha when he meets Buddha, but Lu Bu who Long Xiangtian saw at the beginning is not like this, that is Lu Bu is still very honest and amiable, because it is the first time he has met other people, Lu Bu is naturally very enthusiastic about Long Xiangtian, and he also recognized Long Xiangtian as his brother. Although she agreed that Lu Bu would go out to see the world, in order to make Lu Bu stronger, and in order to make him better adapt to the outside environment, Aunt Lu Bu gave him a very cruel experience, which caused a huge change in Lu Bu's personality, Long Xiangtian didn't know what the experience was, and asked Lu Bu Lu Bu never said, but every time he asked this, Lu Bu clenched his fists tightly, and it seemed that Lu Bu hated that experience.
Lu Bu's personality is like this, he will only solve it by force, and he will not reason with others, so he killed a lot of people who came to make trouble, but no matter how strong Lu Bu is, there are times when the true yuan is exhausted and weak, and the spiritual water he brought has long been drunk, Lu Bu has to rely on chasing during the day, meditating at night to recover the true yuan, and when he is injured, Lu Bu hides in the mountains infested by demon beasts, dodging the pursuit of enemies, looking for herbs to heal his wounds, and the perennial mountain life enables him to avoid many dangers, but at the same time, he is getting farther and farther away from Chitu. In the end, for some reason, the two red rabbits parted ways and went to one place, but there was no way, Lu Bu had to chase one of the red rabbits until now.
Not long ago, Lu Bu heard the news that there was a red flying rabbit with flames all over his body entering the Black Mountain, Lu Bu expected that it was the flying sword red rabbit, so Lu Bu wanted to go into the mountain to find it, but Montenegro is the territory of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Yan, where will Lu Bu enter the mountain, so he didn't agree with each other, and Lu Bu and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban fought.
Because of Lu Bu's bravery, in the process of pursuing Chitu over the years, he has grown a lot, his strength has increased greatly, and his cultivation has also grown rapidly, and now he has reached the realm of Dacheng in the middle of the Jiedan, which can be described as talented, so he killed a lot of soldiers, and almost hit the mountain, and finally the Montenegrin defenders converged into one place, and at the same time, there were many people with great strength, which pressed Lu Bu down, but he didn't expect the Montenegrin defender Zhang Niujiao to rely on his own force, and he wanted to fight with Lu Bu, and he was killed by Lu Bu on the spot in a few rounds.
Zhang Niujiao was originally a descendant of Zhang Jiao's childhood friend, Zhang Jiao loved Zhang Niujiao very much, and regarded him as a righteous son, so he reached the realm of Jiedan at a young age, and his strength was extraordinary.
