In a village not far from Changshe, thick smoke was billowing and everywhere was in a mess. Countless villagers fled in all directions in fear. Behind them, a team of Yellow Turban soldiers chased after them crazily, snatching the only food in the villagers 'hands.
Blood, slaughter, ruthlessness, and chaos had descended. The Yellow Turban Army had risen in revolt under the call of Zhang Jiao and the others because they had no food to eat. Now that they had no food and no logistics, they could only snatch it from the hands of these weak civilians.
Food was the most important thing to the people. Without food, they would starve to death. The people were naturally unwilling to give up food obediently because without food, they would also starve to death.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army, who shouted the slogan of a peaceful world, directly turned into a slaughterer for food. They ferociously snatched the food from the hands of the common people. If they were slightly unhappy, they would kill them.
This was also the main reason why the Yellow Turban Army had completely lost the hearts of the people.
" Hahahaha, I didn't expect such a beautiful woman to be hiding in such a small village. Beauty, I'm coming..." A beautiful woman in makeup accidentally tripped and fell to the ground while fleeing. The coarse cloth wrapped around her hair fell to the ground, and her long hair was scattered, revealing her original appearance. She was immediately seen by a Yellow Turban captain and pounced on her.
" Beast, you beast, let go of my daughter, let go of my daughter..." an old man shouted shakily. Seeing that the Yellow Turban squad leader ignored him, he was so angry that he picked up a wooden stick and smashed it at him.
" Ah..." The Yellow Turban squad leader screamed in pain.
"Old thing, you're courting death!" The squad leader was furious. The sharp blade in his hand stabbed into the old man's body, and blood flowed out.
" Father…" The woman cried out pitifully. She seemed to be unable to withstand such stimulation and fainted.
" Squad leader, this beautiful lady is really not bad. If we send her to the general, hehe..." a Yellow Turban soldier said.
When the captain heard this, he immediately reacted and said,"Not bad, not bad. I can't let such a good opportunity to make contributions go to waste.”
Anyway, after joining the Yellow Turban Army, he often plundered. He didn't have many women, and he didn't lack one. If he gave it to the general, wouldn't it be wonderful if he made a contribution or got a promotion?
"All of you better serve her well and give her to the general tonight. I'm warning you, all of you better behave.”The squad leader said loudly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
At this moment, a thunderous voice came from afar.
What was going on? The sun was so bright, why was there suddenly thunder?
The Yellow Turban soldiers were a little confused, but soon, a clever old man in the team reacted.
"Captain, not good, it's the cavalry…"
"Cavalry?" The squad leader frowned slightly. The Yellow Turban army was poor, and there were no organized cavalry.
Thinking of this, he immediately reacted and shouted in panic,"Quick…Run! This must be the government cavalry! Run!”
Infantry would only be slaughtered if they encountered cavalry. Moreover, the government troops were well-equipped, so they did not dare to stay.
However, they were still a step too late. Before the cavalry arrived, the arrows had already arrived.
The squad leader had just turned around, but before he could do anything, he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and fell to the ground.
"Rengui, immediately lead all the Illusion God Guards to search the area. Don't let a single Yellow Turban scum escape.”Li Qing ordered.
"Here!"
It wasn't that Li Qing wanted to kill them all, but the war was approaching and he didn't want to leak the news too early.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers who were killing people for food saw Li Qing's army arrive, they all fled in fear. However, in the search of the Illusion God Guards, almost none of them survived and all died on the spot.
These people were not like the Yellow Turban Army under Cheng Yuanzhi. They had already experienced several major battles and had done all kinds of bad things. If they were left alive, they would be a disaster.
"Immediately pass down the order to appease the villagers and dispose of all the corpses to prevent the plague from spreading.”It was getting late, so Li Qing gave another order.
This place was less than ten miles away from Changshe, and there was a village as cover. It was a good place, at least it wouldn't be discovered by the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Reporting to my lord, the Yellow Turban Army has been completely captured. About 300 people have been killed.”In less than ten minutes, Xue Rengui returned to report.
Li Qing nodded and said,""Where is Mu Guiying's troop?”
"Reporting to my lord, we are still about five miles away. I think we will arrive in less than fifteen minutes.”
This was Li Qing's arrangement. The Illusion God Guards and the black-armored cavalry had better horses and were faster than the other warhorses, so he ordered the troops to be divided into two groups. One group was his system's source of soldiers, with Ma Hao walking in front. The rear group was the Yellow Turban Army that had been selected previously. The warhorses were not well-trained, so Mu Guiying led them behind.
"This place shouldn't be far from the Yellow Turban Army's camp. Rengui, after dinner, when night falls, take some people to investigate.”Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was the only way to win a hundred battles. Li Qing naturally would not be so arrogant as to confront the 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers head-on with his meager strength.
If they really did that, not to mention the Yellow Turban cavalry who had just joined, even the black-armored cavalry and the Illusion God Guards might be exhausted and injured in the endless fighting, or even die.
