"These damned Yellow Turban thieves."
On the city wall of Wuyuan County, Ding Yuan looked at the Yellow Turban bandits below him, his face full of anger.
He was the governor of Bingzhou. Now that Bingzhou was being invaded by the Yellow Turban bandits, if he didn't resolve this quickly, what would happen if the imperial court punished him in the end?
"Godfather, let me send out my troops. I will definitely kill them until they throw away their helmets and armor.”
At this moment, a stalwart man with a valiant face strode over and said with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
Ding Yuan smiled when he saw who it was, but then he shook his head.
"Let's wait a few more days for the border troops to come to our aid. It's still too risky to attack rashly now.”
As a border area, Bingzhou naturally had a large army stationed there. As long as they waited for the border troops to come to support them, the Yellow Turban bandits were not a concern.
Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Lu Bu shook his head helplessly. He was eager to make a name for himself. When the border troops arrived, it would be a crushing battle. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to obtain many battle achievements.
At the same time, the 100,000 Yellow Turban bandits outside the city were cursing arrogantly. Judging from their flamboyant attitude, it was obvious that they did not put the Bingzhou Army in their eyes.
Lu Bu, who was on the city wall, was extremely furious. He had never felt so aggrieved when facing the Outsiders. They were just a motley crew, and they had actually made him suffer?
However, at this moment, a loud explosion suddenly sounded. Everyone on the city wall immediately looked up and was stunned.
"What's that?"
On the distant horizon, an unusually mighty army was charging over. They were all cavalry.
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them. Even the famous Bingzhou Iron Cavalry did not have so many of them!
The cavalry of Bingzhou only numbered in the tens of thousands. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of cavalry could definitely support a feudal lord to become one of the top feudal lords in the world.
Who were these tens of thousands of cavalry? After all, everyone knew that the cost of feeding a cavalryman was more than ten times that of an ordinary infantryman.
Many dukes believed that if they had the time to raise ten thousand cavalrymen, they might as well raise a hundred thousand soldiers, which would be enough to defend a region.
"Lu Ziqi? Could it be the Youzhou Provincial Governor Lu Qing?"
Ding Yuan muttered to himself. After all, Youzhou was adjacent to Bingzhou, so he naturally knew the name of the new governor of Youzhou. Thus, he immediately guessed where these tens of thousands of cavalry came from.
"Unbelievable. Although it's said that the Youzhou Provincial Governor has a rich family, I didn't expect his army to be so powerful.”
Ding Yuan exclaimed. As the governor of Bing Province, he had dealt with foreign cavalry all year round, so he could tell at a glance whether Lu Qing's cavalry was strong or not.
In his eyes, this was definitely the most elite cavalry. Even compared to the foreign cavalry, they were probably stronger.
At this moment, Lu Bu's eyes were shining brightly.
"Such a powerful cavalry. If he could lead such a cavalry, how glorious would that be?”
Lu Bu thought to himself. When he saw Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and the others, envy appeared on their faces.
Although he was powerful, he had to admit that war depended on the strength of the army. If the Youzhou cavalry in front of him were to start a war with the Bing Province, even if they had their own courage, the Bing Province would still lose.
"Kill them!"
Lu Qing roared from behind the army formation. Although his armor was impenetrable, he was still a mortal. If he was trapped in the army, he would definitely die.
Thus, Lu Qing did not charge forward. Instead, he stayed behind to supervise the battle under the protection of the Snow Dragon Cavalry.
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan led the cavalry and charged at the Yellow Turban bandits.
Although they only had forty thousand cavalry, they were still not the least bit afraid when facing a hundred thousand Yellow Turban bandits.
There was only fighting spirit in his eyes because military merits were very important in Youzhou. Lu Qing had almost brought out the military merits system of the Qin Dynasty.
There was a military rank system in the Youzhou army, and the military rank represented the treatment. Therefore, when the soldiers looked at the Yellow Turban bandits in front of them, they were looking at their military achievements.
"Boom!"
The two armies collided. The Yellow Turban bandits relied on their numbers and did not retreat in the slightest when facing the Youzhou cavalry. However, when they collided, they realized what a stupid thing they had done.
"Zhang Fei from Yan! Who dares to fight me?"
Zhang Fei laughed out loud, his voice like a clap of thunder exploding on the battlefield. One had to know that this was a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, yet his voice could suppress such a clamor. One could imagine how loud his voice was.
Under the leadership of the four valiant generals, the powerful Youzhou Cavalry entered a no-man's land.
Wherever they passed, they killed all the Yellow Turban bandits as if they were harvesting wheat. After all, these were just a mob of farmers. Therefore, after seeing the power of the Youzhou army, they immediately had the intention to retreat.
As long as someone ran away, it meant that the morale of the army was scattered. The final result was that Youzhou's 40,000-strong army chased after the Yellow Turban bandits!
"It's over just like that?"
Ding Yuan was stunned on the city wall. He had expected Lu Qing to win, but he did not expect it to be so simple.
The battle had only started for two hours, but the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits were defeated. The charge of the forty thousand cavalry was like a meat grinder. After each group charge, they could kill thousands of Yellow Turban bandits.
It could be said that this was the first time Ding Yuan had seen so many heavy armored cavalry charging together.
