As the sun set in the west, the Yellow Turban bandits left a ground full of corpses and withdrew their troops. The Xuzhou army, which had fought for a day, immediately went limp. Each of them sat in the bloody ground and panted heavily.
Meng Lin was also exhausted. He had already changed his Zhanmadao three times, and each of them had been chopped into a saw. He had killed more than a hundred enemies today, and he had also leveled up to level 5.
[Host Meng Lin: Level 5 Warrior. Stamina: Attack: 140 Defense: 140. Commander Power: 160. Speed: Weapon: Refined Zhanmadao, Secret Skill: [None, Potential: Unknown.]
Feeling the terrifying power in his body, Meng Lin was ecstatic. He felt that he could definitely lift a hundred pounds with one hand. This was something he did not dare to imagine in the past.
However, the price of this power was not small. Meng Lin had more than ten knife wounds on his body, some of which were so deep that his bones could be seen. It was so painful that he gritted his teeth. However, compared to the people who fell, he was much luckier.
In just one day, he had experienced the cruelty of war. In the face of war, human lives were more worthless than pigs and dogs.
"I need to get stronger as soon as possible. I need a lot of experience points.”Meng Lin swore in his heart.
He had already estimated that every level required ten times the experience points. For example, the fifth level cost 50 experience points. These EXP could only be obtained from killing enemies. One EXP from a Level 1 enemy and two EXP from a Level 2 enemy were very difficult to obtain. If one wanted to level up, they could only kill more enemies.
At this moment, a clerk suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted,""Meng Lin, right? Lord Zang Ba is calling for you."
"Zang Ba? Call me?" Meng Lin was stunned.
"Yes, Lord Zang Ba is calling you, hurry up.”the clerk said with a smile.
"Hurry up and go. It must be because you fought bravely that Daren wants to reward you.”The warriors at the side laughed. Everyone's faces were full of envy. However, everyone had witnessed Meng Lin's madness in battle, so it was only natural for him to receive an audience with Zang Ba.
Meng Lin was delighted. He nodded and followed the clerk up the city gate tower.
Lin Meng had played the Three Kingdoms Peerless before, so he naturally knew that Zang Ba was one of the generals under the Xu Prefecture Overseer, Tao Qian. Now that they were in Xu Prefecture, Tao Qian was definitely in charge, while Zang Ba was in charge of commanding the battle.
To be able to gain Zang Ba's recognition, his future was limitless.
On the city gate tower, the tall Zang Ba was sitting on an armchair with a huge double-handed sword the size of a door in his hand. His bell-sized eyes made people shudder.
Meng Lin walked up to Zang Ba and bowed,"Soldier Lin Meng has seen the lieutenant.”
Zang Ba sized up Meng Lin, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Meng Lin was handsome and had fair skin. At first glance, he looked like a weak scholar, but in fact, his eyes were filled with killing intent, making people like him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Good!" Zang Ba laughed,"Meng Lin, you're brave in battle. I've seen it with my own eyes, and I won't mistreat you." The Yellow Turban bandits invaded our Xu Prefecture, and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the hasty battle. We need talents like you. Your troops have already died in battle. From today onwards, you are the 100-man general of the Xu Prefecture defense army.”
"The clerk will bring people to see your troops later. Your men have already suffered heavy casualties. I will get people to replenish your troops from the recruit camp.”
Zang Ba's resolute words stunned Lin Meng.
A hundred generals? That was a small leader who led a hundred people.
In this era of the Three Kingdoms, five people were a unit, ten people were a unit, fifty people were a unit, and one hundred people were a unit. A small soldier should first be a sergeant, then a sergeant, and if he had the ability, he should be a duke. Only then could he be a hundred men general.
However, Meng Lin had gone from a small soldier to a general of 100 soldiers in one battle. Even the clerk beside him was a little jealous.
"Thank you, Commandant." Meng Lin was ecstatic.
"Not bad!" Zang Ba laughed in satisfaction."Good job. I will remember you. As long as you fight bravely, I will not mistreat you. You may leave."”
"Yes, I will take my leave." Meng Lin roared.
Before he left, Meng Lin looked at Zang Ba's data curiously. However, the result left him dumbstruck.
[General Zang Ba: Level 72 Warrior, Stamina: 1800. Attack: 1728. Defense: 1872. Commander: 1820. Speed: Weapon: 90 pounds double-handed greatsword, Secret Skill: Flame Strike, Drunk, Potential: 88.
Zang Ba's strength was too shocking. He could probably kill Meng Lin a million times with a single strike. The difference was too great, and the pressure on Meng Lin multiplied. However, as a famous general of the three countries, this number was not too exaggerated. Instead, his potential was not bad, proving that he had the hope of advancing to the realm of a first-rate general in the future.
"One day, I will surpass him.”Meng Lin walked confidently.
Zang Ba sighed and said bitterly,"What a young man with potential. Old Liu, do you think we can withstand Pei Yuan Shao's attack this time? Ever since Zhang Jiao started the Yellow Turban Uprising last year, eight out of the thirteen prefectures have fallen into chaos. Even more than half of the five prefectures and eighty counties of Xu Prefecture have fallen.”
"Although Zhang Jiao is hiding in Qingzhou, Chongzhou, and Yuzhou, he is remotely commanding the Yellow Turban bandits in other states to plunder and riot. "On the other hand, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the others are fighting for their own territory. When can we get rid of this Yellow Turban thief? Sigh…"
Zang Ba's deputy general's face was full of bitterness as he said gloomily,"I'm afraid that I'll have to kill him.""Right now, the Yellow Turban bandits are wreaking havoc outside the city. The bandit general Pei Yuanshao is using 100,000 Yellow Turban bandits to pin us down while sending other Yellow Turban bandits to burn, kill, and rob nearby. We only have 30,000 soldiers in Xu Prefecture.”
Zang Ba let out a sigh of relief and asked,"I heard that Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan and Cai Wenji are in our Xu Prefecture. Lord Tao Qian wants to ask her to help repel the enemy.”
"Cai Wenji? If she was willing to help, this battle would be much easier to fight.”The deputy general was pleasantly surprised."Everyone says that Cai Wenji is the most extraordinary woman in the world. Not only is her literary talent outstanding, but her harp is also incomparably sharp. I really want to see it."”
Zang Ba was overjoyed and laughed."There will be an opportunity. Lord Tao Qian and Cai Yong are old friends. If an old friend is in trouble, how can Cai Wenji, as his niece, not help?" When the time came, they would just have to watch a good show. The Yellow Turban thieves would definitely not have an easy time.”
"Sir is wise." The deputy laughed.
