Chapter 208: Hand-to-hand combat

Last time, it was said that Zhang Niujiao completed the first part of Zhang Jiao's plan - to suppress Dongfang Xiong, and began to implement the second part. He first provoked He Meng.

Dongfang Xiongzheng, accompanied by Jun Yue, rode back to the position of the Chinese army in despair. Just now it was his desire to survive that overcame the family's sense of honor, so he fled in a hurry, but now that he is safe, he began to regret why he didn't have the courage to die in Zhang Niujiao. He is not for glory, but to face his people again without shame, and wants to die.

The Dongfang family lost three battles in a row, and they lost cleanly, and the merits they made when they had a small fight with the Yellow Turban Army before were canceled out. Because only this time was a real large-scale confrontation, and he actually damaged his own morale before such an important battle began. If this matter is transmitted back to the imperial court, what will Emperor Liu Hong think of the Dongfang family? Impotent?

He couldn't figure out where the monster Zhang Niujiao came from, he had never seen such a character in them when he fought with the Yellow Turban Army before. Could it be that the Yellow Turban Army's previous forbearance was just to transfer Zhang Niujiao from other places?

Just when Dongfang Xiong was thinking wildly, he heard Zhang Niujiao's voice provoking He Meng. Dongfang Xiong followed the cry and looked at He Meng.

He Meng heard Zhang Niujiao's provocation, did not hesitate at all, and slapped his horse and went to the front. At this moment, he felt someone watching him in front of him. He turned his head to look at the owner of that gaze and saw that it was Dongfang Xiong. He smiled at Dongfang Xiong again, but this time the smile was clearly scornful and mocking.

He Meng didn't fail to see Zhang Niujiao easily defeat three people in a row, so he also looked up to Zhang Niujiao, so he didn't let his subordinates rush to death. But He Meng himself was not afraid of Zhang Niujiao at all, he could see that Zhang Niujiao relied on his strength.

For strength, He Meng is also very confident in his own strength. He Meng has been working with He Jin since He Jin was not yet rich, and he was also born to kill pigs. I don't know if eating too much pork will make the body stronger, it seems that people who are born to kill pigs are more robust. Zhang Fei is like this, He Jin is like this, and He Meng is still like this. However, He Meng is different from the pampered He Jin, and he still retains a body of tendon meat.

Now Zhang Niujiao has fought three people in a row, although it looks like playing, but He Meng knows that killing people and killing pigs take a lot of physical strength. Therefore, He Meng is full of confidence in winning Zhang Niujiao, who was wheeled and warned. He Meng secretly laughed in his heart that Zhang Niujiao was immeasurable: that guy must only have muscles but not brains, so stupid that he would provoke himself after the three of them.

But before He Meng could get out of the phalanx, he was stopped by the herald sent by Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi asked the herald to stop He Meng from going out to fight against Zhang Niujiao, saying that he would not fight the generals, and directly fought the formation, launching a general attack to defeat the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side. Let He Meng immediately return to his army and lead the troops to follow.

When Lu Zhi watched Dongfang Xiong fight Zhang Niujiao before, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, if Dongfang Xiong really folded in Zhang Niujiao's hand, Lu Zhi would not know how to explain to Emperor Liu Hong. Is it up to the general to come in and take refuge? He, Lu Zhike, is the leader of the clear stream. Qingliu is only loyal to the truth, how can there be any reason to grovel to the powerful? Fortunately, in the end, Dongfang Xiong still knew the difficulty and retreated.

Now seeing that He Meng is going to fight without knowing whether he is alive or dead, Lu Zhi doesn't know that He Meng is full of confidence, because he has never seen He Meng's ability, and even if he does, he will not choose to give He Meng a risk. Emperor Liu Hong can't be offended, and neither can the general's side. Qingliu's slogan is only used to accumulate his own prestige, but if you can not offend the powerful, it is better not to offend, and don't make yourself uncomfortable. Is it so easy to get the position of leader? Lu Zhi was reluctant to let go so quickly, so he chose to launch a general attack directly, because he found that the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side didn't seem to be holding a weapon, it was strange, but the distance was a little far, and he couldn't see what it was, but as long as it wasn't a weapon, it was still very easy to deal with.

He Meng thought that if he won Zhang Niujiao in one fell swoop, he would not only be able to sweep away the decadence of the Han army, but also make himself famous in front of the army. Why did He Meng come to the battlefield? Isn't it just to gild yourself? Now the opportunity is in front of him, but Lu Zhi let himself return to the team? How old is Lu Zhi compared to his lord?

He Meng didn't give Lu Zhi a face at all, beat his horse to bypass the heralds, and continued to walk out of the formation.

Lu Zhi had long expected that He Meng might not listen to him, Dongfang Xiong, like He Meng, relied on his own strength in the background, listening to his own command was to appreciate his face, and not listening to his own command was the norm. So Lu Zhi simply ignored He Meng and directly informed the drumming to advance.

Before He Meng walked out of the phalanx, he heard the sound of drums behind him, and the army also marched forward with the sound of drums.

He Meng turned his head and stared fiercely in the direction where Lu Zhi was, but there were so many people in the middle that he couldn't see Lu Zhi's figure clearly, so he could only hold his breath and walk in the direction of his troops.

Zhang Niujiao waited for a while, didn't wait for He Meng, but waited for the general attack of the Han army, he scolded his mother in his heart, and hurriedly turned his horse back to the Yellow Turban Army's main formation.

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army this time was not Zhang Niujiao, nor Zhang Jiao himself as Lu Zhi expected, but Zhang Jiao's righteous son Zhang Yan. When Zhang Yan found that the Han army was pressing towards him, he had already informed the army to beat the drums and advance, and there was no need to wait for Zhang Niujiao to return to the formation to give orders, in order to confuse the Han army and make the Han army think that Zhang Jiao was in the formation.

The two armies marched to the beat of the drum, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

Suddenly, the drumbeat of the Yellow Turban Army changed, and the front army separated from the entire army formation and began to accelerate its charge.

The Han army did not dare to slack off, and also changed the charge, but they charged collectively. The number of people in the Han army this time was smaller than that of the Yellow Turban Army, but the equipment was better than that of the Yellow Turban Army, so the Han army did not have enough troops to spread the two wings.

The Yellow Turban Army also cooperated to separate its two wings and began to outflank the two wings of the Han army. The Yellow Turban Army seemed to want to break through from the two flanks of the Han army and flank the middle army.

The fighting was fierce. Lu Zhi finally saw clearly what the "weapons" in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army were, they were all agricultural tools or iron tools for daily use. Because those are not specifically designed to kill people, they will not be used in battle formations, and the threat is much worse than that of the Han army's weapons. However, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were all fearless of death and had high morale, which also made the Han army suffer a lot, and the war was stalemate for a while.
