Chapter 50: Killing General Zhonglang

But Zhu Jun's reminder was still too late after all.

Zhou Cang and Xu Huang had already killed Zhu Jun's side, killing all his personal soldiers, and hundreds of personal soldiers died in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang took the lead and slashed at Zhu Jun's side with an axe.

They always remembered what Xu Yu had said before.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Zhu Jun is captured first, they will already win half of this battle.

Therefore, after Xu Huang rushed out, the first thing was to entangle Zhu Jun first, as long as Zhu Jun was stopped, the next task against the official army would be much simpler.

The soldiers and horses around Zhu Jun suffered heavy losses, and without helpers, Xu Huang's impact was enough to pose a great threat to him, so when Xu Huang rushed over, although Zhu Jun was unwilling to face it, he still raised his knife to block.

I wanted to stabilize my body under Xu Huang's attack, and wait for other soldiers and horses not far away to come to support.

Don't look at Zhu Jun, this guy is a commander, and he is quite old, but he is still comfortable with Xu Huang's blow.

Xu Huang's big axe slashed over with one blow, Zhu Jun held the long knife with one hand, and he was able to block it, but he was not injured under Xu Huang's attack.

In addition to Xu Huang's attack, he was also able to fight with Xu Huang with ease.

But it's also said that he is also one of the three major lieutenant generals appointed by the imperial court, if his strength is too poor, how can he lead the army to attack and deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

After Xu Huang entangled Zhu Jun, the officers and soldiers around Zhu Jun finally reacted, and some of the men and horses who had not yet rushed up to fight with Sun Zhong's Yellow Turban Army immediately came to rescue Zhu Jun.

Including Sun Jian and Xu Xuan and others, they were all shocked and angry.

wanted to come back to support Zhu Jun, but looking at the number of Yellow Turban thieves around them, they couldn't pull away for a while, and there was no way to fight a bloody way out of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.

The 70,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban Army continued to rush out of Wancheng, and the 10,000 people led by Liu Zheng came out from behind them, attacking back and forth, causing their morale to drop greatly.

Once morale is damaged, the rout of the soldiers and horses is accelerated.

And Sun Jian, Xu Xuan and others are not only difficult to protect themselves, but they will not care about Zhu Jun.

Although Zhu Jun and Xu Huang were able to deal with it on his own, when Zhou Cang also joined the battle, he was quickly defeated, and one person could not deal with two generals, and Xu Huang slashed Zhu Jun's back with an axe.

Zhu Jun screamed in pain, forcibly endured the pain from his waist, and wanted to continue fighting with Xu Huang, but there was no way to continue, and he couldn't parry the attacks of Xu Huang and Zhou Cang.

When Zhou Cang's big knife slashed over, Zhu Jun was powerless to resist, and was cut off by mistake, cutting off his head with a knife.

Zhu Jun didn't even have time to scream, so he died on the spot.

Killing Zhu Jun, Zhou Cang screamed excitedly, as if he was showing off his strength.

And Zhu Jun's death made the officers and soldiers on the entire battlefield completely lose their fighting spirit.

"Not good! Zhonglang will be killed! ”

I don't know who shouted on the battlefield, and immediately let the news spread throughout the battlefield.

Sun Jian, Xu Xuan and others in the distance, after hearing the news, glanced at Zhu Jun, and sure enough, they didn't see Zhu Jun anymore.

Sun Jian sighed in his heart, and immediately secretly said that it was not good.

At that moment, he already understood that it was impossible to win this battle, so he turned his head and shouted at Cheng Pu.

"Cheng Pu, break through quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time!"

Sun Jian took the more than 1,000 Jiangdong sons under his command who were charging ahead, and immediately broke through and left, not planning to stay here at all, without any hesitation.

When Xu Xuan saw that Sun Jian was leaving, he didn't plan to continue fighting, he was also panicked, and he didn't dare to stay here, but he also followed Sun Jian's footsteps and began to break through.

Some of the Yellow Turban troops who were fighting with Sun Jian in the front couldn't stop Sun Jian at all, and soon Sun Jian broke through from the flank of the battlefield with some soldiers and horses under his command.

And Liu Zheng rushed over with people, although he saw Sun Jian on the battlefield, but his soldiers and horses were too far away from Sun Jian, and there was no way to catch up with Sun Jian in a short time, so he could only watch Sun Jian escape from front of him.

Although Sun Jian fled from the battlefield with a small number of men and horses, he had some regrets, but the direct killing of Zhu Jun in this battle was the biggest gain.

Soon after Sun Jian and the others fled, the battle outside Wancheng was nearing its end.

It didn't take long for the officers and troops here to be slaughtered by the allied forces of Liu Zheng and Sun Zhong.

After a battle, Zhu Jun commanded a full 20,000 soldiers and horses, killed and wounded tens of thousands, among which the officers and soldiers in the later period were defeated, and many officers and soldiers on the periphery did not continue to fight, but escaped from all around.

Liu Zheng did not send people to chase and kill, but after counting his own men and horses, he went directly to Wancheng to rest temporarily.

As soon as he entered Wancheng, Zhao Hong immediately came over to see Liu Zheng, and first praised Liu Zheng. praised Liu Zheng for his great achievements in this battle. actually directly killed Zhu Jun, one of the three major generals, which is an unprecedented thing.

In the months since the Yellow Turban Army revolted, although they had quite a victory in the early days, they had never killed the Zhonglang generals, at most they were defeated and besieged.

And Liu Zheng directly killed Zhu Jun in the first battle with a figure at the level of Zhonglang General, which was a huge victory and merit, which greatly improved the morale of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army and the influence of the entire Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang.

However, after Zhao Hong praised Liu Zheng's merits, he told Liu Zheng a not very good news.

Zhang Mancheng was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow, although the arrow did not hit the vital point, but after two days of treatment, the injury did not improve, but continued to recur, and he has been unconscious.

Before Liu Zheng caught Huang Zhong who shot Zhang Mancheng in Caiyang City, several Yellow Turban Army Xiaoqu Marshal in Wancheng learned the news, and wanted Liu Zheng to hand over Huang Zhong and kill Zhang Mancheng, the divine envoy.

As soon as Liu Zheng heard what Zhao Hong meant, his face sank, and asked him to hand over Huang Zhong, which he would never do. But it seems that their meaning is non-negotiable.

Liu Zheng, who had been silent for a while, finally gave Zhao Hong a reply, that is, to lead people to attack Runan City. Find Zhang Zhongjing in Runan City, if Zhang Zhongjing can save Zhang Mancheng, it will naturally be better, if he can't be treated, then talk about taking Huang Zhong out to sacrifice the flag.

This is just Liu Zheng's strategy to delay the army, if Zhang Zhongjing is not found, or if Zhang Zhongjing is found, Zhang Mancheng will not be able to be saved.

It was absolutely impossible for Liu Zheng to push Huang Zhong out and hand it over to Zhao Hong and the others to kill the sacrificial flag.
