It was already the beginning of July, and summer had begun. Taiyuan City in Bingzhou was particularly hot. The scorching sun was heating up the land crazily. The farmland planted by the people had opened up holes, and the plants were dying.
The Yellow Turban soldiers led by Zhang Mancheng rushed toward Taiyuan like a swarm of locusts. Last night, they had been attacked by Lu Bu's army and suffered heavy losses. Now, they were fighting with their backs to the wall. They were in a desperate situation where they were either dead or alive. Zhang Mancheng was going crazy right now. He wanted to take down Taiyuan City in one go, and it would be best if he could get rid of Lu Bu to take revenge.
Zhao Hong, who was behind Zhang Mancheng, looked at him darkly. He didn't understand why Zhang Mancheng wanted to fight Lu Bu again. He only wanted to lead his rebel army to bully some weak warlords. At that time, a luxurious life of luxury was what he wanted. But now that Zhang Mancheng wanted to fight Lu Bu, it might be a good opportunity for him.
This was because two of the leaders of this rebel army, Zhang Mancheng, Han Zhong, Sun Xia, and Zhao Hong, had already died. If Zhang Mancheng died again, he would become the leader of this rebel army. At that time, he could do whatever he wanted. Right now, Zhang Jiao and his brothers were in a heated battle with the Imperial Court's army, so they had no time to care about him.
Ding Yuan's army followed behind the Yellow Turban. They had not suffered any losses so far, so they were much calmer than the Yellow Turban army. The soldiers marched in an orderly manner with a majestic aura. After all, there were more than 40,000 people.
Leading them were Ding Yuan's capable generals, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng. They looked at the marching army excitedly. Hou Cheng excitedly waved the saber in his hand and shouted,"Today is the day I, Hou Cheng, become famous.”
His shout caused the other two to look at him strangely and think,""There are still fools in this world. Lu Bu is someone you can defeat. Don't think that you can show off in front of the trash under the Lord. If you end up in Lu Bu's hands, you might not even know how you died.”
Under Zhang Mancheng's relentless pursuit, they were almost at the foot of Taiyuan's city walls. Zhang Mancheng looked at the tall and majestic Taiyuan City in front of him and felt both excited and afraid.
He found the others and instructed,"Everyone, Taiyuan is right in front of us. However, the city walls of Taiyuan are tall and sturdy, and it is not easy to attack. We should think of a good way to attack together. Otherwise, if we are defeated by Lu Bu's army again, our morale will be unstable, and we will only die.”The others echoed and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Mancheng thought for a moment and said," Our army has 80,000 soldiers while Lu Bu has only 30,000. We can surround Thai Nguyen and attack the four gates of the city. This will disperse Lu Bu's forces."”Everyone felt that it was not bad after hearing it. This was indeed much better than working alone.
Zhao Hong looked at Zhang Mancheng and suddenly thought of a plan. "Although the canal marshal's idea is not bad, I want to perfect it." Lu Bu is brave and will not cower in battle. We can challenge him outside the city to lure him out. Wouldn't it be better for the others to attack Taiyuan? The person who lures Lu Bu must have superb martial arts skills and courage. Among us, it must be the Qu Shuai. I wonder if the Qu Shuai will accept my suggestion.”
Zhang Mancheng thought about it carefully and agreed,""This is a good plan. General Zhao led 20,000 soldiers to attack the east gate, General Wei led 20,000 soldiers to attack the south gate, General Hou led 20,000 soldiers to attack the west gate, and the remaining north gate was attacked by General Hao.”Everyone accepted the order and made their own plans.
Zhang Mancheng led the Yellow Turban to the foot of the city wall and shouted,""Little brat Lu Bu, do you dare to fight me, Zhang Mancheng?”The 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers under him also followed suit and shouted loudly, their voices like muffled thunder.
Lu Bu's army, who was stationed on the city wall, began to curse at the Yellow Turban when they saw the enemy humiliating their lord. The two armies entered a war of words, and all kinds of foul language began to be used.
I was discussing the war with my subordinates when I suddenly heard the curses of the Yellow Turban. "Today will be the end of you traitors. Generals, follow me to battle."”
When we arrived at the city wall, we saw Zhang Mancheng riding on a horse and raising his saber as he shouted,""Lu Bu, you coward, don't you dare to see your Grandpa Zhang?”
The generals were furious and requested to fight to kill Zhang Mancheng. "I've seen Zhang Mancheng's troops and estimated that there are about 20,000 of them. Although the sneak attack last night was very successful, we only killed 30,000 of them at most. They should still have about 80,000 people left. Where are the others? Are they plotting something?" Hmph, even if there are some small tricks, I, Lu Bu, wouldn't care. After killing Zhang Mancheng, it would be much easier to deal with the other Yellow Turbans.
I picked up the Heaven Halberd and mounted Little White before leading the Gale Cavalry out of the city. Gao Shun waited for me to stay on the city wall just in case. There are still my three little wives in the city, so I can't be careless. As the heavy city gate was slowly lifted up by 50 strong soldiers, I led the wind and appeared in front of Zhang Mancheng like a bolt of lightning.
I haven't looked at Zhang Mancheng in detail. Although we had two exchanges, we were far away from each other and didn't pay attention to him. Now that I've looked at him carefully, Zhang Mancheng's looks are not bad and he has the temperament of a soldier. He was riding a strong yellow horse, holding a heavy saber in his hand. His muscles were well-developed, and he had a strong appearance. His cold eyes contained deep hatred. It seemed that he was very hostile towards me.
Zhang Mancheng was also constantly looking at me. His body was unbelievably strong, his face was as firm as a knife, and his cold eyes were filled with unparalleled dominance. He wore a full set of silver armor and held a strange halberd in his hand. The halberd shone with a silver light and exuded a murderous aura. It should be very heavy, but Lu Bu held it in his hand like a toy.
"Lu Bu is really a hero!" Zhang Mancheng praised sincerely.”The Yellow Turban soldiers were also shocked by my body that was like a god of war.
I coldly raised my Heavenly Halberd and pointed it at Zhang Mancheng."You want to fight me?"
Zhang Mancheng looked at the Heavenly Halberd that was shining brightly under the sunlight. He could feel the other party's monstrous fighting spirit, and his heart trembled. However, as the commander, how could he retreat? He gritted his teeth and charged at me.
I saw Zhang Mancheng running towards me like a mad cow and smiled contemptuously. He kicked Whitey's belly lightly and immediately went up to Zhang Mancheng. The halberd and the saber collided violently, resulting in a loud bang. I was a little surprised."I didn't expect Zhang Mancheng to be able to take an attack with 80% of my strength. In the past, when I sparred with my underlings, it was also 80%. Could it be that he has Gao Shun's strength?”
Zhang Mancheng used all his strength to forcefully receive my attack. Even though it was an extraordinary performance, the impact just now made him spit out a large mouthful of blood. A wound had been torn open between his thumb and forefinger, staining the hilt of his sword red.
Zhang Mancheng's heart was ashen." I didn't expect Flying General Lu Bu to be so powerful. I'm afraid I'm doomed today." Zhao Hong and the others should have started attacking the city. As long as we can take down Taiyuan, it's worth it even if I die.”If Zhang Mancheng knew that Lu Bu had only used 80% of his strength, he would have killed himself.
Zhang Mancheng knew that he was no match for her, so he quickly shouted,""Everyone, attack!"
Then, the Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed towards me like a tide." Damn it, if you can't fight me one-on-one, you want to beat me up in a group? Shameless! However, I'm also bringing 1500 underlings with me. Let's kill for a while first.”
I led the Fierce Wind Cavalry and began to attack the Yellow Turban soldiers. The cavalry's attack power was terrifying. The sharp spears pierced the rushing Yellow Turban soldiers, causing blood to bloom. The ancient halberd in my hand is even more ruthless. Every strike of the halberd will take away a life. No matter how powerful my attack was, it was drowned by the yellow sea in a moment. The figures of the Yellow Turban soldiers were everywhere.
At this time, several gates of Taiyuan City were also under intense attack from the Yellow Turban soldiers. The city walls were densely covered with scaling ladders, and countless Yellow Turban soldiers were desperately climbing up the city walls like ants. The guards on the city wall began to throw stones at the Yellow Turban soldiers below crazily. The stones fell like meteorites toward the Yellow Turban soldiers. The Yellow Turban soldiers who were hit fell off the scaling ladder like kites with broken strings, making muffled grunts.
No matter how tight your defense was, there would always be a loophole. After all, the number of soldiers defending the city was far less than the number of Yellow Turban soldiers attacking the city. Many Yellow Turban soldiers had already climbed the walls of Taiyuan. However, what welcomed them was an attack force composed of elites from various legions. In a short while, they killed all the Yellow Turban soldiers who had climbed up the city wall.
Gao Shun quickly hacked to death four Yellow Turban soldiers who had just climbed the city wall. He shouted in a carefree manner,"" Come on, I'm not happy with the killing. You guys are too slow. It looks like you're going to lose today. I made a bet with Wen Yuan, Zilong, and Junyi just now. We'll see who kills the most Yellow Turbans wins."”
Wei Xu's heart bled as he watched the endless stream of soldiers being quickly killed. He gritted his teeth and personally led the guard up the scaling ladder. As soon as he climbed up the city wall, dozens of spears stabbed at him. He instinctively rolled to the ground to avoid them, but many of his personal guards who followed him were stabbed to death.
Wei Xu was skilled in martial arts. After quickly killing five of the defenders surrounding him, he charged towards the other defenders so that more Yellow Turban soldiers could rush up the city wall. The west gate was guarded by Zhang Liao. He had just personally taken care of a few Yellow Turban soldiers when he suddenly saw an extremely brave enemy general who had killed many defenders. Zhang Liao was so angry that he charged at him.
Wei Xu was cutting down a guard. He was a little afraid and cursed,"Pervert, a f * cking small soldier has such high attack power. No wonder all the soldiers who came up died in less than an hour.”
Suddenly, Wei Xu felt a strong killing intent behind him. He quickly turned around and slashed with all his might. Wei Xu blocked Zhang Liao's attack. The two blades collided with a loud noise. Zhang Liao looked at the enemy in front of him excitedly. He could actually take his full-powered blade. In fact, he didn't know that Wei Xu had already been cut by Zhang Liao.
Wei Xu knew that if he didn't leave now, he would definitely die in the hands of this purple-faced general. He smiled bitterly in his heart," Lu Bu's subordinates are all powerful people. If this person was Zhao Yun or Zhang He, I would have admitted defeat. But now, this guy is so powerful. I'm afraid I won't be able to last more than 30 rounds against him. The best plan is to escape."”Taking advantage of the fact that many more Yellow Turban soldiers had come up, he turned around and jumped off the city wall, climbing up the scaling ladder.
Zhang Liao originally thought that he was going to use some ultimate move, but who knew that he would actually run away. He was so angry that he could only crazily hack to death a few unlucky fellows who had just climbed the city wall to vent his anger.
I looked at the Yellow Turban who was climbing the ladder like a locust, and my heart was burning with anxiety. He suddenly sped up his flying halberd, desperately carving out a bloody path. Along the way, there were the corpses of the Yellow Turbans who blocked my way, lying on both sides in a mess. It was as if my entire body was swimming in a sea of blood. Zhang Mancheng saw me charge out of the encirclement from afar and was dumbfounded.
