Chapter 164: Liu Xuande's First Battle with the Yellow Turban Army (Part II)
After hearing Huang Zhong's shout, most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, who had been frightened, immediately obediently gave way, so as not to anger the rebel general and let the other party cut themselves down with a knife.
Li Daniu was also among this group of people who were embarrassed to avoid Huang Zhong and his cavalry, and after watching Huang Zhong and the others gallop past him on horseback, Li Daniu wanted to follow a few fellow villagers to run into the woods not far away.
However, as soon as their group ran out, they were blocked by the rebel infantry led by Jian Yong, don't look at these rebel soldiers wearing armor, but because they eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and carry out various exercises, and also learn some basic martial arts to strengthen the body, so the physical fitness of these rebel soldiers is much stronger than these often starving Yellow Turban Army recruits, so they can be the last to come first and successfully block these Yellow Turban Army recruits who fled.
"Put down your weapons, surrender and don't kill!" After successfully blocking the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, the rebel soldiers shouted at the Yellow Turban Army under the orders of the officers.
Several small leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, who had good martial arts, still wanted to forcibly break through the interception of these rebels, but as soon as they rushed out a few steps, they were directly beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets fired in front of them.
Seeing this, the remaining Yellow Turban Army routs were so frightened that they dropped their weapons one after another, as if they were afraid that if they dropped their weapons slowly, they would also be attacked.
Li Daniu's reaction was a beat slower, and after everyone else around him dropped their weapons, he hurriedly dropped the wooden stick in his hand, and at the same time felt very confused about their future.
Hao Daring told them before, and now the court officials and soldiers and the rebels everywhere already hate their Yellow Turban Army very much, and they will be executed if they are caught.
Now Li Daniu is afraid that the rebel army in front of him will be the same, even if they lay down their arms and surrender, they will continue to raise their butcher knives at them.
"Don't be stunned, tie yourself up, a group of ten, follow us obediently, don't think about running away!"
Just as Li Daniu was nervous, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer in the rebel army on the opposite side stood up and threw them a large bundle of rope.
Soon, Li Daniu and the others tied their right arms one by one at his request, and then ten people were connected together by ropes to form a team and were escorted away from the battlefield.
At the same time, Huang Zhong and the others galloped wildly, and finally caught up with the elite old thieves of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although these old thieves also fled, they were old men after all, and they knew that there was only one death if they escaped indiscriminately, so they had not completely fallen into chaos at this time, and their establishment was basically intact. Therefore, after seeing that those rebels only had a hundred horsemen chasing after them, they immediately and spontaneously began to resist in formation.
In order to avoid being chased by these rebel cavalry all the time, Hao Dada's stand-in took the initiative to send hundreds of people to surround Huang Zhong and them, wanting to surround and annihilate this rebel cavalry.
In the face of these surrounding enemy troops, Huang Zhong took the lead, and the glaive knife in his hand swung out heavily, and a silver-white sword swept through those enemy formations, and suddenly at least seventy or eighty enemies were slashed by Qi Brush, and blood was spilled on the ground.
The rest of the enemy soldiers couldn't help but slow down when they saw that Huang Zhong was so fierce, where did they dare to continue to rush up to his death.
However, their pace slowed down, Huang Zhong and they did not slow down in the slightest, and the cavalry of more than 100 rebel troops under the leadership of five generals, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, was like a sharp knife, fiercely inserted into the enemy's formation, and almost instantly crushed the formation laid by these enemy troops.
Seeing this, Hao boldly raised his mind and was so frightened that he rode a war horse and turned around and ran, but unfortunately he rode a high-headed horse, and he was wearing a rare fish scale iron armor in the Yellow Turban Army, which could be said to stand out from the crowd.
Huang Zhong saw this guy at a glance from a distance of hundreds of meters, and he immediately guessed that this guy might be the commander of this group of Yellow Turban Army, so he opened his bow and aimed an arrow at Hao Daring's stand-in, who had just mounted the horse.
You must know that Huang Zhong himself is a fierce general who is good at shooting, at this time he is still in the prime of life, and he has cultivated the mastery martial arts taught by Li Rufeng, and the arrows he shoots are blessed with innate true qi, and the speed and power are even more terrifying.
After Hao Daring heard the terrifying scream behind him, he suddenly felt bad, but the speed of the arrow was too fast, and it hit him in the back of the heart without waiting for him to react, and then the iron armor on his body and the entire upper body burst open, forming a pink blood mist in the air.
"Big brother's hand archery is really amazing! I'm afraid that even the flying general Li Guang can't be resurrected! ”
Liu Bei, who was beside Huang Zhong, looked at his sworn brother's arrow that was so strong that it exploded, and couldn't help but say with an amazed face.
And Huang Zhong didn't have the time to listen to his third brother boasting about himself at this time, after he shot this arrow, he once again waved his horsewhip and whipped the war horse under him, and accelerated towards the elite old thieves of the Yellow Turban Army, and the glaive knife in his hand also kept waving, cutting down an enemy soldier to the ground.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also not to be outdone, especially that Zhang Fei, a snake spear in his hand danced like a windmill, and the enemy troops in the place where they passed were shot away by it, looking like a humanoid tank.
Although Xu Shu and Liu Bei are not as strong as these three super-first-class generals, they are also proper second-rate generals at that level, and it is still easy to kill these Yellow Turban thieves, especially Liu Bei, who is holding a male and female double-strand sword, opening bows left and right, and the killing efficiency is also very high.
It took more than half an hour, Huang Zhong and the others probably killed about 3,000 old thieves of the Yellow Turban Army, but it was really because there were too few cavalry under his command, and in the end they were escaped by about 1,000 old thieves.
What made Huang Zhong even more depressed was that after interrogating some prisoners afterwards, he learned that the guy he shot with an arrow before was not Hao Daring at all, but the other party's stand-in, and Hao Daring himself had already sneaked into the logistics team.
Because of these things, Huang Zhong was not very happy even if he won the battle, after all, in his opinion, this battle was not so perfect, and he had disappointed the lord's expectations of him.
However, Huang Zhong felt a little depressed here, and the soldiers and civilians in Zhuo County didn't think so, after learning that Liu Bei really defeated more than 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves with just 2,000 righteous troops, they were all overjoyed.
After all, after those Yellow Turban thieves were defeated, their Zhuo County would be safe for the time being! Don't worry about being looted by those yellow turban thieves!
Zhang Lian, the county commander, personally took his officials and waited at the gate of the city early, so as to welcome Liu Bei, who had returned victoriously, as soon as possible.
Out of curiosity, many people also poured out of the city and came to the city gate to join in the fun and wait for Liu Bei's return.
After waiting for more than an hour, Liu Bei led the rebel army back to Zhuo County.
Huang Zhong only usually grasped the military power, at this time he knew that it was Liu Bei who was in the limelight, and he also felt a little depressed because this battle was not so perfect, so he walked to the back of the team in a very low-key manner, and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were the first.
Liu Bei, who was walking in the forefront, saw that the county commander Zhang Lian actually came to greet him in person, and couldn't help but be flattered, hurriedly got off the horse, walked quickly to the county commander Zhang Lian, hugged his fists and said: "Be a civilian, how can it be worthy of the county lord of labor to greet him!" ”
Zhang Lian looked at this promising Han family member, but his face was cordial and enthusiastic, and he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bei's hands and said, "Xuande is humble!" This time you have made such a great achievement, you will definitely not be a white body again afterwards! And if you defeat those yellow turban thieves, you are equivalent to saving the lives of the old folks in Zhuo County! You should come to the county to greet you! ”
The surrounding onlookers and people also echoed at this time, obviously treating Liu Bei as a hero who saved them from danger.
Surrounded by everyone, Liu Bei was invited into the largest restaurant in Zhuo County in a daze, sat with the county commander Zhang Lian and others, and participated in this celebration banquet specially for them.
At the banquet, everyone praised Liu Bei for a while, some said that he was young and promising, and some said that he was handsome at first glance, not like a mortal. There are even some people who praise him for having the style of an ancestor.
Liu Bei listened to everyone's praise, and he was completely fluttering, after all, Liu Bei is still young now, he is a relatively vain young man who likes to listen to people's praise.
However, after all, he is Liu Xuande, who will become the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future, and after enjoying the praise of everyone, he quickly remembered who was the biggest contributor to his achievements today.
So Liu Bei soon took the initiative to introduce his eldest brother Huang Zhong and second brother Xu Shu to everyone, telling everyone that if it weren't for this sworn brother who invested in him at the beginning, he would not have been able to pull up this rebel army at all, especially his eldest brother, not only managed the army well, but also fought extremely bravely, and taking the head of the general in the army was as simple as finding a bag.
Then he introduced his fourth brother Guan Yu and fifth brother Zhang Fei to everyone, saying that these two were also excavated by his eldest brother and second brother with the help of him, and they all had the courage to be unsuitable.
If Liu Bei introduced several of his sworn brothers before this battle, everyone would probably think they were bragging, but this time in the big war, many big clans in Zhuoxian County sent people to watch the battle near the battlefield, so everyone knew that Liu Bei's words were really not an exaggeration, and these three really had the courage of ten thousand people! Especially that Huang Zhong, who looks unsightly, but is really a killing god on the battlefield! A knife can cut out dozens of meters long, and an arrow can shoot a thief hundreds of meters away from the armor directly into a pile of minced meat.
Many people think that even if the overlord Xiang Yu is resurrected, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it to this extent!
As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the lethality they showed on the battlefield was not much lower than Huang Zhong. Even Liu Bei, who used to be a weaver and a peddler in their eyes, actually has a good swordsmanship, a pair of double swords makes it superb, and many heroes in Zhuo County think that they are not the opponents of this Liu Xuande.
