Chapter 43: Ambush Battle
A few days later, Liu Bei received a good news that he had rushed over with a quick horse, and Lu Zhi said that he should take all his troops and horses to withdraw from Handan City, where he was stationed, and go to Guangping City to reinforce them, and that he would delay their rescue and buy time.
After receiving the urgent message, Liu Bei immediately integrated thousands of people, brought a small amount of baggage, left Handan City to the original county order, and hurriedly went to Guangping City.
The first task mentioned in the letter was to ask Liu Beijun to make a detour to the left first, ambush the reinforcements from Maocheng, cut off the reinforcements from Guangping City, and then cooperate with Lu Zhi's subordinates to attack the city.
After everyone discussed, Zuihou decided to act as an ambush in a certain wooded area that must be passed, and waited for the reinforcements from Maocheng to come, first a rain of arrows, and then sent troops out to take them in a nest, all according to the regular routine of ambushes.
Following Liu Bei and his party, Wu Sheng came to the woods they discussed, and then sent troops to reconnoiter the terrain, and then sent a few spies to the enemy to inquire about information, and then make responses according to the information obtained.
More than half of the spies who came back died, but they also found out a lot of information, and the vanguard of the Yellow Turbans reinforced by more than 8,000 people, they carried a small amount of baggage, and ran along this route to Guangping City non-stop.
Although everyone would have predicted that the Yellow Turban reinforcements would take this route, they waited until they were sure that they were relieved and waited for their arrival in the dense forest according to the original Jihua.
For three days in a row, Wu Sheng led a small number of troops, lying on his stomach on the dirt somewhere in the woods, staring intently at the official road with his eyes, his breathing slowed down a few points, and the smell of wild grass on the ground was quite strong, rushing to the sense of smell.
At noon on the fourth day, after Wu Sheng secretly ate dry food, information finally came that the Yellow Turban reinforcements had arrived, ready to enter the woods, and asked them to be ready to attack at any time.
After waiting for about half an hour, Wu Sheng finally saw a large number of black shadows coming in the distance, this should be the Yellow Turban reinforcements, and after a while, he finally saw their figures.
The leader was a sturdy man, with a slight beard, the most conspicuous of which was a large black hemorrhoid on the left side of his face, wearing khaki armor, a strip of yellow scarf cloth tied to his right hand, riding a fast horse, and immediately tying a large knife.
To his right, there was a scrawny old man in a yellow scribe's robe, who was also riding a fast horse with a wooden staff attached to it, and he was moving slowly.
Take a closer look, this emaciated old man is the warlock who helped General Lin attack the city, I don't know that he came to Jizhou, when Wu Sheng killed all five of his disciples in order to find Chen Gong.
In addition to them, there were several ordinary Yellow Turban generals following them, and behind them were six thousand Yellow Turban troops, spears in their hands, trotting forward.
When they passed, Wu Sheng quietly peeked at the leading general and the thin old man, and found that their strength was not too strong.
The leading general of the Yellow Turban has average attributes, and his strength realm is only slightly higher than Wu Sheng.
Name: Yuan Du
Realm: The sixth layer of the day after tomorrow
Affiliation: General of the Yellow Turban Army
Primary Attributes (Normal5):
Strength: 152, Body: 153, Constitution: 31, Spirit: 31
Special Attributes:
Perception: 7, Fuyuan: 5

And the thin old man on his right hand looked like a warlock or a strategist, and Wu Sheng confirmed the guess in his heart as soon as he saw his attributes.
Name: Wenlin Zhang
Realm: The fourth layer of enlightenment
Affiliation: Yellow Turban Warlock
Primary Attributes (Normal5):
Strength: 19, Body: 20, Constitution: 20, Spirit: 130
Special Attributes:
Perception: 7, Fuyuan: 6
Martial Arts: None
The Yellow Turban generals behind them have average attributes, their strength is only the third layer of the day after tomorrow, and the highest one is only the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow, Liu Beijun can definitely eat it.
When the time came, Wu Sheng saw the secret signal in the sky, and immediately asked the archers next to him to stand up immediately, and shot at the Yellow Turban Army trotting on the official road, not only him, but Liu Beijun's archers stood up one after another, and shot the sharp arrows in their hands continuously.
"There is an ambush, everyone rushes up for me." Seeing that there were archers next to the woods, Du Yuan did not panic, but let the Yellow Turban generals behind him rush forward with a pair of Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing a large number of Yellow Turban troops rushing up desperately, the archers immediately stepped back, and the sword and shield soldiers instantly stepped forward and fought with them.
Wu Sheng took a team of sword and shield soldiers and rushed towards one of the Yellow Turban generals, his strength was only three layers of the day after tomorrow, and he couldn't stop a few rounds at all, so he was killed on the ground.
After killing a Yellow Turban general, Wu Sheng continued to slash and kill the Yellow Turban Army beside him, countless blood flew in the air, and even many human limbs fell to the ground.
In a few moments, hundreds of corpses had fallen on the field, including those of the Yellow Turban Army and Liu Beijun, Wu Sheng didn't know how many people he had killed, he only knew that he kept rushing forward.
Suddenly, the face of the Yellow Turban Army on the field began to distort, a reddish appearance appeared in the muscles on his body, his eyes stared at Liu Beijun deadly, and a slight squirt sounded like a roar, looking at them with grinning teeth,
Regarding this situation, Wu Sheng had also seen that it was very similar to the Yellow Turban Army that he saw in Dongwuyang County at that time, which not only made him wonder if the thin old man had appeared in that siege, or if all the Yellow Turban Warlocks would do this trick.
In fact, Wu Sheng guessed correctly, this thin old man was in Dongwuyang County last time, but one was in the city and the other was behind the Yellow Turban Army, so the two had not met, and now he followed Du Yuan because of the order from above, and the two met again.
No matter who this person is, just kill him directly, Wu Sheng thought so, and did so, and it didn't take long for the thin old man to send out a technique to enhance the strength of the Yellow Turban Army all day, and Chen Gong also began to release the technique.
The two warlocks continued to release their skills, so that the morale, strength, and body skills of the Yellow Turban Army and Liu Beijun on the field were improved to a certain extent, causing the two sides to fight more intensely, and they both regarded each other as their father-killing enemies, and constantly used the weapons in their hands to slash or stab at each other.
Gradually, Liu Beijun's sword and shield soldiers began to have the upper hand, because the troops who came to ambush this time were only more than 4,000 people, including hundreds of archers.
Although the archers shot and killed nearly a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers at the beginning, there were still about 5,000 people left, more than 1,000 more than Liu Beijun, and the battle could be a draw at the beginning, but the warlocks on both sides used their skills, and the Yellow Turbans began to gain the advantage.
Because the warlocks of the Yellow Turban Army used techniques to stimulate people's potential, and their mental power was reduced, causing them to attack Liu Beijun frantically as if they were dying.
And the technique used by Chen Gong is not the same as that of the thin old man, although it is also to stimulate people's potential, but there is no harm to them in doing so, but the time of this gain state is not only a few points shorter, but the increase is lower than the latter.
Wu Sheng kept rushing forward with the sword and shield soldiers, and finally saw the thin old man, next to him there was a yellow turban general protecting him, this person's strength is the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow.
On the other side, Sun Li also saw the thin old man and knew that this person was a warlock, so he immediately ran forward and wanted to kill him, but the yellow turban general picked up a big knife to protect him.
Seeing this opportunity, Wu Sheng immediately ran up with the guards around him, and took advantage of the yellow turban boy to delay Sun Li and kill the thin old man as soon as possible.
There were also several powerful guards next to the thin old man, and as soon as they saw Wu Sheng coming with men and horses, they all picked up the weapons in their hands and moved forward to resist.
And Wu Sheng asked several guards around him to pester the guards of the thin old man, and went to kill him alone.
The people beside him were all entangled by Sun Li and Wu Sheng's people, and the thin old man couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and he saw another person walking towards him.
As the saying goes, the first strike is stronger, and the thin old man knew that Wu Sheng must have bad intentions when he came to him, so he made a few Taoist gestures with his left hand, and then kept hitting the wooden staff on the ground with his right hand.
"Control the fire."
I saw that his left hand lit a flame with a darker color, bright red with a bit of orange and yellow, it seemed that the temperature was definitely not low, the thin old man lit the fire on the wooden staff, and then faced Wu Sheng for a while, and a small ball of fire flew out.
Wu Sheng felt that the power of this fireball was definitely not low, so he didn't dare to take it hard, so he stepped his feet, leaned to the side, dodged this fireball, and asked his assistant to check the temperature by the way.
The result obtained from the assistant was that this ordinary small fireball had hundreds of degrees, and the flames on the thin old man's wooden staff were one hundred and forty or fifty degrees, and these flames were difficult to extinguish once ordinary people touched them.
Hearing the words of his assistant, Wu Sheng didn't dare to take it hard, but struggled on the side, and the thin old man seemed not afraid that his little fireball would be hit by the Yellow Turban Army, but he released it when he saw the opportunity.
But Wu Sheng had to pay attention to Liu Beijun's people, and he shrank his hands and feet when he fought, and did not dare to attack easily in the face of these flames, and constantly used light skills on his feet to avoid the small fireballs of the thin old man.
At this moment, Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, slashed several Yellow Turban soldiers beside him in a roundabout, and killed a team of people behind him, and after seeing the thin old man, he immediately left Liu Beijun behind him and ran over directly.
"Guan Yu is here, waiting for death." Wielding the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand, the air flow around him was surging, and he jumped his feet, and while reporting his name, he slashed at the thin old man.
Hearing this name, the expression on the thin old man's face suddenly sank, and his eyes showed a little surprise, and before he had time to think about it, he turned his body to the side and dodged the sword of the feather.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's names are also a lot louder in this year, especially Liu Bei, who has Lu Zhi's care and Chen Gong, a first-class strategist by his side, so in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang and others have already become a little famous.
Perhaps the thin old man had heard or seen Guan Yu's heroic figure on the battlefield, so as soon as he heard his name, his eyes began to show a little jealousy.
