Chapter 90: The End of the Road (Part 2)

"Three generals, withdraw quickly!" Several of Zhang Liang's cronies and generals gathered around Zhang Liang and shouted loudly.

Zhang Liang poked his ears that were deafened by the sound of the explosion, looking at the firelight and billowing smoke and dust in the sky, he could only flee for his life.

At this moment, the surrounding wilderness remembered "Lay down your arms and surrender to death!" This shout came from all directions.

I saw that on the north and south sides of the main road, there were well-formed Han infantry phalanxes, and they were slowly advancing while shouting the slogan "Lay down your arms, surrender and avoid death".

The shield soldier in the front row, holding the shield in one hand, advanced step by step, and the other hand struck the shield with the scabbard, making a rhythmic "bang" and "bang" sound.

Behind the shields, there were crossbowmen, who kept shooting arrows forward, and many Yellow Turban soldiers with weapons in their hands were shot down one by one.

"I surrender!" Seeing that the Han army was getting closer and closer, a young ordinary Yellow Turban soldier threw away the weapon in his hand, raised his hands above his head, and fell to his knees.

Someone took the lead, and more people followed suit, and all the Yellow Turban troops who dropped their weapons were indeed not attacked, and there were people in the rear of the Han army who gathered these surrendered Yellow Turban troops together.

Seeing that the Han army really kept its promise and surrendered to avoid death, more Yellow Turban soldiers also laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees, after all, most of them were farmers and wandering refugees a few days ago, and they had no loyal faith in Taipingdao.

Zhang Liang saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't take care of them anymore, so he ran in the direction of Gaoyi with his cronies and more than 2,000 Yellow Turban elite soldiers gathered over.

A group of Han troops saw a large group of Yellow Turban troops breaking through to the west, and hurriedly covered up and killed. Although Zhang Liang still had 2,000 elite soldiers around him, and the Han army he pursued and killed was only 500 people, he did not dare to stop and fight, lest he be surrounded by more Han troops.

Dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers rushed to the side of the burning cart, and despite the pain of the flames, they forcibly pushed open a passage several horses wide, and of course they themselves were also buried in the flames.

Zhang Liang led people to escape from this gap.

ran a few miles forward, and saw that the battalion of Han troops was still desperately chasing after them. Zhang Liang felt that he was out of danger, so he planned to turn around and eat these Han soldiers who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

Suddenly a trumpet sounded on the north side of the front, and a group of horsemen appeared ghostly on the hillside by the roadside, numbering only five hundred horsemen.

The uniforms of this group of Han cavalry were all black, and the armor was also black. The first general, who was also covered in black armor, rode a white horse, held a spear in his hand, and waved it from back to front, and five hundred black-armored Han soldiers rushed down the hillside.

Encountering cavalry on the plains is definitely a nightmare for the infantry, especially the remnants of Zhang Liang's defeated generals, the elite soldiers are still those elite soldiers, but many people have lost their weapons when they fled for their lives, and the longbowmen are almost dead.

The big shield is so heavy, it is important to escape, who is willing to carry it, at this time, he can only desperately raise a few spears and spears in place, ready to resist the impact of the cavalry.

It's a pity that they were disappointed, these black-armored cavalry were the guard battalions of the Dangkou cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, and they grew up in the continuous battles with the grassland peoples.

They have already learned the essence of cavalry tactics, and now they are a pack of wolves, and when they encounter weak prey, they will bite hard.

The charge of the five hundred cavalry was also very imposing, although the opponent was very weak, but the guard battalion led by Zhang Liao still strictly followed the tactical requirements of the cavalry.

Shoot with a crossbow at a distance of 80 zhang, throw a throwing spear at 40 zhang, and then pass through the left and right wings, and in the process, continue to greet the opponent with the bow and crossbow.

But there was no short-handed encounter, and after turning in a circle, he returned to the position where the attack was launched. It's as if real wolves are hunting prey stronger than them.

Zhang Liang was desperate to find that in this wave of attacks alone, arrows and spears had taken the lives of more than 300 people, and he had no means to fight back.

The battalion of Han infantry behind him was already very close, and if he didn't leave, he would be flanked from front to back.

Zhang Liang ordered a rapid advance and retreated to the southwest. But before he had run two miles, the trumpets sounded again on the hills on the south side of the front, and another cavalry appeared at the top of the hills to the south.

It's the same five hundred horsemen, the same black armor, but this time there are two more flags.

Zhang Liang saw it very clearly, one big flag was "Dangkou Cavalry", and the other big flag had a lot more words, "Great Han Duliao General Lu".

Lu Bu is here? Zhang Liang looked carefully above the flag, and sure enough, there was a general with a silver helmet, silver armor and white cloak, riding on a tall red war horse.

In his right hand, he held a long weapon, which looked like a spear, but it was much thicker than an ordinary spear, and the blade in front of it was much wider and grew a lot, and it was almost catching up with the broadsword.

Lu Bu also saw a person in the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army wearing a Taoist robe and armor, dressed a little nondescript, and the helmet didn't know where it fell, some of the capes were scattered, and his face was also blackened.

The people around him are tightly protecting him, presumably it is the "Rengong General" Zhang Liang.

Lu Buti immediately took two steps forward and said loudly: "The following are the three generals, Zhang Liang, General Zhang?" And the state Lu Bu is polite here. With that, he clasped his hands into fists and gave a salute.

Zhang Liang heard the other party call himself Lu Bu, greeted himself, and also beat his spirit, hugged his fists and saluted back, "Don't dare, it's Zhang Liang below, I've seen General Lu Bu, the name of General Yangfei for a long time, and defeated the Huns and Xianbei people in a row, and raised his eyebrows for my Han people, the name of the god of war is really worthy of its name. ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "What god of war, I can't take it seriously, but I defeated the grassland barbarians, but it is a fortunate thing to ensure the stability of my Han people, I really don't want the Han people to see each other." Now that the three generals are convinced, why don't they dismount and surrender? ”

"You and I are both Han Chinese, why bother to fight and kill, cheapen those alien races who covet my Han territory? As long as the three generals can persuade your two brothers to surrender and submit, I, Lu Bu, am willing to save the lives of the three of your brothers, how about it? ”

Zhang Liang smiled miserably, "Thank you General Lu Bu for your kindness, you and I are our own masters, and it is useless to talk more." My Taiping Dao is to hate this corrupt and incompetent court, as well as the mediocre emperor, our goal is to overthrow this rotten government and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

"Today's defeat is nothing more than the loss of my life, and I believe that my two brothers will finally complete the great cause of overthrowing the Liu Han Dynasty. I also ask General Lu Bu to think about the people of the world and overthrow this damn court with my Taiping Dao, which is the right way. ”

Lu Bu shook his head, "Since the three generals have the determination to become benevolent, I will no longer stop it." ”

"Big husband, death is death, but I don't know what means General Lu Bu used in the woods to make such a huge noise and smoke, which is really unheard of."

"Without him, it's just the thunderous wrath of the heavenly fire." Lu Bu replied to him lightly.

"Skyfire? Thunder's Fury? Could it really be that God wants to kill me? Zhang Liang was puzzled.
