Chapter 36: The Encounter (I)

A slogan that was originally boiling with enthusiasm was "off track" because of some force majeure, but fortunately Xu Kang reacted quickly and stopped it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"It seems that we must be cautious about shouting slogans in the future, because our Chinese is so broad and profound that it is impossible to guard against!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the urge to change the name of Pig Strong, but after thinking about it, he found that he couldn't find a better name, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Forget it, instead of wasting energy on the name of a pig, it's better to rest and recharge, it consumed a lot of mental energy last night, and now it's time to recover and consolidate, you must have a good rest!"

His execution was very strong, and when he had made his decision, he closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning on the carriage.

By the time he woke up, it was already evening.

"Huh? Isn't this the same as yesterday? ”

Looking at the sun gradually turning west, he suddenly frowned.

"No, I can't continue this life of day and night reversal, not only is it not good for my health, but once I encounter any situation, I will not have time to react, I must readjust my biological clock!"

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of making magic bread all night, and after the soldiers had set up their big tents, he went straight in to rest.

But Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng didn't know what he thought.

In order to prevent him from running around at night and not finding anyone, he also sent a few soldiers to stand guard outside his tent, and in the second half of the night, he personally came to investigate and confirm that Xu Kangren was still inside, so that he could go back to sleep with peace of mind.

The two of them can be said to have broken their hearts for their master.

Fortunately, such days are coming to an end, and according to the scout's report, it will only take two days at most for them to arrive in Changshe County.

In the eyes of the two, as long as they enter the boundary of Changshe County and join Lu Zhi's army, when Xu Kang sits in the rear, they will be able to fight the Yellow Turban on the front line with peace of mind.

As for winning or losing, they had thought about this issue before they set off, but now they didn't think about it - with Xu Kang, a "god man", in charge, how could they lose?

With this in mind, the two urged the soldiers to maintain an extremely fast marching speed, marching at an average speed of forty miles a day, and walking more than one hundred and twenty miles in three days.

Seeing that it was less than thirty miles away from Changshe, and when he was about to join Lu Zhi and the others, the scout's anxious shouts shook the whole army!

"Enemy attack! It's a yellow turban thief! ”

Hearing this roar, Xu Kang, who was originally performing [Food and Water] in the carriage, immediately stopped what he was doing, and then lifted the curtain of the carriage.

And the moment he lifted the curtain, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him!

I saw that the mountains were full of peasant rebels with yellow scarves on their heads, but what they held in their hands were not farm tools such as hoes and rakes, but all the standard weapons of the Han army.

Knives, spears, swords, shields, halberds...... Almost as long as the weapons in the hands of the Han army, they all had them in their hands, and they were obviously captured from the Han army or local governments.

The most important thing is that their number is very large, and after Xu Kang glanced around, he felt that their number was not less than ten thousand.

That's ten times your own!

"I can't fight it!"

It only took Xu Kang a few seconds to come to this conclusion.

But he also knew that he was just an amateur military enthusiast, so he didn't give an order hastily, but took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet attacked, and asked Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng around him.

"Zhao Hong, Zhang Cheng, now that the enemy is outnumbered, do you think it is to fight or flee?"

"Fight!"

To Xu Kang's surprise, the two said the word in unison.

Immediately afterward, the two of them clasped their fists at him and saluted him, explaining to him why they chose to fight.

"My lord, although the Yellow Turbans seem to be numerous, they are just a group of rabble, as long as we use cavalry to rush, their formation will be broken!"

"That's right, my lord, the Yellow Turban thieves have wasted training, and the soldiers of our army are all well-trained and have high morale, so they should be one enemy and ten, my lord, please give the order!"

As the two spoke, the surrounding commanders and squad leaders also opened their mouths to ask for battle.

"Please give the order to Lord Jun Sima!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only nod his head.

"Okay, since you are waiting for war, then I will satisfy you, Zhao Hong!"

"The last general!"

"I order you to lead the cavalry in the army to break through the formation first, remember not to go deep, so as not to be difficult to take care of!"

"No!"

Hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhao Hong immediately saluted him with a fist, and then led the cavalry of the team to start a lineup, and pointed the spear in his hand at the Yellow Turban Army hundreds of meters away.

"Sons, contribute to the country and make meritorious contributions at this time, kill with me!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, the cavalry, which was only less than two hundred people, rushed out of the military formation under the leadership of Zhao Hong and rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly ordered again.

"Zhang Cheng, I order you to lead the remaining soldiers to meet Zhao Hong and defeat the Yellow Turban Army together!"

"No!"

Zhang Cheng had already prepared, and at this time, with Xu Kang's order, he immediately rushed forward with the remaining soldiers.

And the Yellow Turban Army saw that the Han army was attacking, and also launched a charge.

Soon, the two armies collided together, and for a while, the shouts of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, the clashing of weapons, and the wails of people when they were injured filled the entire battlefield.

As soon as the wind blew, a strong smell of blood filled Xu Kang's entire nasal cavity, making him pale and almost vomiting.

But as soon as he thought that these soldiers in front of him were brought by himself, and they were fighting for themselves to a large extent, Xu Kang held back the discomfort in his heart, and then stared at the scene of purgatory on earth in front of him with wide eyes.

And the only thing that comforted him was that what Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng said was indeed right, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army in front of him was indeed very poor.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, they were chiseled through by Zhao Hong's cavalry and destroyed the formation, and then they were covered by Zhang Cheng and his troops, and soon lost their armor and fled for their lives.

On the other hand, the Han army led by Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng became more and more courageous, and it only took a few minutes to cause nearly one percent of the casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, and this proportion is still expanding.

The number of deserters snowballed like the Yellow Turban Army, and finally evolved into a rout of thousands.

Of course, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng would not let go of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and immediately led people to chase after them and hunt down the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.

It is foreseeable that if this progress continues, then this will be a great victory!

But after seeing this scene, Xu Kang, who was sitting in the carriage behind, frowned again.

He had an ominous premonition.
