To be honest, the current situation was undoubtedly more difficult than when they faced Cheng Zhiyuan's 50,000 strong army in Zhuo County.
The Yellow Turban Army's most elite troops and bravest generals were gathered together. At the same time, they also had five thousand cavalry under their command. It was also said that Zhang Jiao's tent had a group of Yellow Turban strongmen who had drunk talisman water and were impenetrable.
Of course, Lin Chuan wouldn't believe such nonsense. Perhaps Zhang Jiao had selected some elites who knew Body Hardening Technique to boost the morale of the army. However, this also meant that there were definitely many Stage 2 legions in the 100,000-strong army.
In this situation, if they attacked from the front, not only would the casualties be huge, but the chances of winning were also not high.
Lin Chuan pondered for a while and said,
"I want to explore the camp first and see the specific situation of the Yellow Turban Army before making arrangements.”
"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. General Lin is so old at such a young age.”
Cao Cao had always thought that a young man like Lin Chuan, who had made great contributions at such a young age, would be a proud person. He never thought that he would be so capable. He couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. He only hoped that such a person wouldn't become his enemy in the future.
"General Lin, Zhang Jiao's camp is very close. If you get too close, you will be chased. I will ask Wentai to bring a team to protect you.”
Zhu Rong was worried that Lin Chuan was not familiar with the other party's combat habits and did not know that the terrain here was easy to suffer losses, so he took the initiative to offer help.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhu. I will only bring twenty people with me.”
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, everyone was speechless. Although their courage was commendable, it was too childish. Once they were entangled by the Yellow Turban Army, it would be impossible for them to save them even if they wanted to.
"Haha, don't worry, sirs. I'm only going to scout the camp, not to kill.”
After saying that, he brought Jia Xu out.
They didn't know that the 20 people Lin Chuan was talking about were the 18 Cavalry of Yan Yun, Zhao Yun, and Pei Yuanqing. With their combat strength and speed, they could move freely in an army.
On the way to the camp, Lin Chuan asked,"
"What do you think of this battle, Wen He?"
Jia Xu said,
"Based on the current situation, time is good for us and bad for Zhang Jiao, so defending is indeed the best policy.
Xu Xu had just found out that the grain and fodder in Changshe City was enough to support the army for three months. After a long time, the Yellow Turban army would run out of food and launch a counterattack. They would definitely win.”
Lin Chuan smiled. This old thing was really not a saint. He only cared about himself.
The reason why the heroes in the city were uneasy was because the imperial court had given them fifteen days to defeat Zhang Jiao. However, this imperial edict could not restrain Lin Chuan.
From Jia Xu's point of view, he would only consider the interests of his lord. As for the life and death of Lu Zhi and the others, it was naturally not something he needed to worry about. He could not blame others for saying that his plan was only for his own benefit. As for whether it harmed others or not, it was up to fate.
Soon, the group arrived in front of a continuous mountain range. Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army had set up camp at the foot of the mountain, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Haha... God bless the Lord, God bless the Lord!"
After seeing the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Jia Xu's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud.
"Did Wenhe notice anything wrong?”
Lin Chuan also studied it. Although the Yellow Turban Army's camp was somewhat chaotic, they were still invincible when they attacked. He didn't know why Jia Xu was so happy.
"My lord, Zhang Jiao is indeed a refugee who doesn't know anything about the military.
It has been a taboo for military strategists since ancient times to station troops in dangerous places.
My lord, please take a look. Zhang Jiao has set up his camp in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain to avoid the heat. However, the weather is dry and the trees are flammable. If we attack with fire, Zhang Jiao will die without a burial place!”
In fact, as a transmigrator, Lin Chuan also knew that the Yellow Turban Army had been defeated by fire in the Battle of Changshe, but he did not know how to use the fire. As expected, with the old poison Jia Xu, many problems had been solved.
"Although Wen He's plan is insidious, it's a good plan. You're the first to break through the Yellow Turbans this time.”
Lin Chuan did not hide his fondness for Jia Xu in the slightest. Even Pei Yuanqing, who had always been unconvinced of him, secretly admired him at this moment.
toot...
A long horn sounded, and thousands of Yellow Turban cavalrymen rushed out of the camp and pounced on Lin Chuan.
"Zilong, take Jia Xu and retreat first. As for the others, follow me to test their combat strength.”
"Yes, my lord!"
"My lord, please be careful."
If it was in the past, Dong Zhuo would not care about his own life and death. At this time, other than gratitude, Jia Xu could only remind Lin Chuan to pay attention to his safety.
After Zhao Yun left with Jia Xu, Pei Yuanqing knocked his hammers and said with a chuckle,
"It's been a long time since I've exercised my muscles and bones. Come on, Grandpa's twin hammers are already thirsty.”
"Kill them!"
With that, Lin Chuan led Pei Yuanqing and the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun to launch a counterattack against the thousands of Yellow Turban Iron Cavalry.
Such a move undoubtedly made the Yellow Turban Army somewhat dumbfounded. Twenty people charging against thousands of people, it was obvious that they had not received nine years of compulsory education.
"Haha, brothers, charge up and smash their heads.”
The person who spoke was Yingchuan's commander Bo Cai, also known as the number one commander under Zhang Jiao.
But in the next second, Bo Cai's smile froze.
Lin Chuan and Pei Yuanqing walked side by side. The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd shone in all directions under the sunlight. After passing by, the Yellow Turban cavalry's bodies were all cut in half. Moreover, it was extremely clean and did not hinder them at all.
On Pei Yuanqing's side, the aesthetics of violence were displayed to the extreme. The silver hammer hit the Yellow Turban cavalry's chest with incomparable precision. Every attack was followed by a muffled sound of blood spitting out. If one looked carefully, they would find that all the Yellow Turban soldiers who were hit by the hammer had a bloody hole in their chests.
In just the first charge, the number of Yellow Turban cavalrymen killed by Lin Chuan's halberd and Pei Yuanqing's hammer reached as many as a hundred.
The Yellow Turban cavalrymen wanted to surround Lin Chuan from behind, but they did not know that the mantis was pouncing on the cicada, and the oriole was behind. After a series of " swoosh " sounds of arrows leaving the bowstrings, dozens of people became porcupines. The archery skills of the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yan Yun were not just for show.
Soon, the eighteen cavalrymen of Yan Yun caught up. They immediately put down their iron bows and held their scimitars horizontally. The blades were of the right size and were all aimed at the throats of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Puchi puchi ~!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers didn't even have the chance to cry out in pain. Their main arteries were cut off, and blood sprayed a few meters high. Another hundred people fell.
"Damn it, this isn't Lu Zhi's army, it definitely isn't! Brothers, quickly surround them. Don't let them continue to charge. Sparrow battle will exhaust them to death!”
Bo Cai was the number one commander of the Yellow Turban army after all. In the face of such a huge change, he still commanded the army to change their formation and respond without a trace of chaos.
