Zhao Hong, like the other bandits, was also a farmer. However, he was tall and strong and was usually ruthless, so he became Zhang Mancheng's subordinate.
Along the way, Zhao Hong was extremely excited when he heard that his mission was to kill a general of the imperial court. He wished he could immediately go to Lu Yang and make a great contribution!
"Hurry up! I will kill whoever dares to delay!"
Zhao Hong roared ferociously, and his subordinates followed suit, shouting ferociously at his subordinates along the way.
As a result, this group of thieves was still far away when they were discovered by the scouts sent by Yang Yu.
Yang Yu made way for the main force of the rebel soldiers. When Zhao Hong's troops passed by, he suddenly charged out.
The Yellow Turban bandits who were left behind were the weakest among the bandits. They were also ambushed, so they were immediately killed and fled in all directions, crying for their parents.
The fire at the back immediately caused the bandits in front to panic.
Zhao Hong was furious when he heard the news. He led his troops back to fight, but he didn't expect to meet Dian Wei head-on. He was killed by Dian Wei with a single strike!
Once Zhao Hong died, Yang Yu drove the scattered soldiers behind him to rush over. The Yellow Turban bandits had no one to command them, and they immediately fell into chaos. They fled in the direction of Luyang, and along the way, they were continuously reaped by Yang Yu's troops. By the time they reached Luyang, the Yellow Turban army had already lost half of their numbers.
Zhu Rong had been waiting here for a long time. When he heard the news from the scout horse, he was immediately overjoyed."I didn't befriend this brother of mine for nothing! It really was an ambush! With the rebel soldiers escaping, it was a good time to reap the military merits!”
Thus, Zhu Xi immediately sent troops to block them. The defeated Yellow Turban soldiers were attacked from both sides, and countless were killed or injured. Only a pitifully small number escaped.
After counting, after two battles, the total number of rebel soldiers in the two groups was 50,000. More than 80% of them were killed, while the casualties of Yang Yu and Zhu Rong's subordinates were less than 3,000!
Zhu Rong and Huangfu Song, who was severely injured and bedridden, were so excited that tears fell again!
"We have less than 20,000 soldiers in total, but we have killed 40,000 enemies. Although we have benefited from you, we can barely give Tian Zi an explanation!”Zhu Xiong said.
"I'm just ashamed that I was saved by you twice!”Huangfu Song sighed.
Yang Yu waved his hand." Brothers, don't be discouraged. There are still nearly 100,000 bandits in Wan City. I guarantee that you will be able to earn more military merits."”
"Brother, do you already have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"”
Yang Yu nodded." I already have an idea. However, I'd better listen to my advisor's opinion first."”
"Brother, you're using a strategist now?" Huangfu Song's eyes revealed a strange expression. Could it be that this person's intelligence is a level higher than yours?”
Yang Yu smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, Wang Meng walked in. Zhu Rong sized him up for a while and smiled."I heard from my brother that you are quite resourceful. I wonder if you have any good ideas for breaking through the widowed and taking over the bandits?”
Wang Meng glanced at Yang Yu. Seeing Yang Yu nod slightly, he smiled casually."The plan to defeat the enemy is already in my mind. "My master's divine power is unparalleled, and he has many fierce generals under him. He can sneak into the enemy camp and behead the main generals of the Yellow Turban bandits. At that time, the Yellow Turban army will either be leaderless and fight for power among the sects. In short, it will be chaos! If we send out our troops now, we will definitely win!”
Huangfu Song was an old general after all. He immediately frowned and said,"This Zhang Mancheng is quite cautious. There are many sentries in the army.”
But Wang Meng was very confident." There are still more than a thousand prisoners in the army. We can relax our guard in the evening and let them escape. We're wearing the clothes of the Yellow Turban Army. It's naturally easy for us to sneak into the rebel camp.”
Huangfu Song was overjoyed. I think this plan is feasible! I wonder what your original plan was?”
Yang Yu immediately laughed.”
So that evening, Yang Yu secretly ordered the soldiers to relax their guard, and the Yellow Turban captives immediately fled during the night.
Yang Yu, Dian Wei, Luo Cheng, Wang Meng, and Yan Yun were all dressed in disheveled clothes and tattered clothes that the Yellow Turban bandits had taken from them. They followed behind them and fled overnight. By the second half of the night, they had arrived at the Wan City bandit camp.
When Zhang Mancheng heard that his defeated soldiers had returned, he immediately came out to meet them.
"Everyone has worked hard!"
"Pass on my words. Immediately buy wine and meat to reward these brothers!”
Zhang Mancheng chatted with many defeated soldiers for a while to appease the people. These defeated soldiers were genuine Yellow Turban soldiers without any flaws.
While eating and drinking, Yang Yu looked around and laughed in his heart.
Although the Nanyang Yellow Turban had learned their lesson from the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and arranged patrols on the periphery, there was no security in the camp. There was only a circle of strong personal guards around Zhang Mancheng's tent, but they were also lazy. It was obvious that they felt very safe inside and did not take the duty of guarding it very seriously.
Yang Yu and Wang Meng looked at each other and smiled. Both of them had great confidence in tonight's operation.
After everyone ate and drank their fill, they were arranged to sleep in tents.
Not long after Yang Yu and the others fell asleep, they got up one after another and used the excuse of peeing. However, they went around one tent after another and quickly approached Zhang Mancheng.
At this moment, a person came out of a tent nearby. When he saw Yang Yu and the others, he immediately spoke with a strong Jing Xiang accent, causing Yang Yu and the others to be confused.
This place was very close to Zhang Mancheng's tent, and it immediately attracted the attention of the bodyguards. It looked like they were in danger of being exposed.
In a moment of desperation, Yang Yu and Wang Meng simultaneously turned their backs and took off their clothes and hands.
The man immediately smiled, yawned, and peed before returning satisfied.
Not far away, Zhang Mancheng's personal guards laughed secretly when they saw this. Then, they retracted their gazes and did not think much of it.
Yang Yu led the group around the back of the tent and arrived around Zhang Mancheng's tent. They attacked together, and the bodyguards were instantly knocked unconscious and killed.
Zhang Mancheng, who was inside, heard some strange sounds outside and wanted to come out to investigate. Unexpectedly, just as he walked to the entrance of the tent, Yang Yu lifted the curtain and walked in. He smiled at Zhang Mancheng and suddenly punched his throat. Zhang Mancheng covered his neck and fell to the ground, coughing up blood and suffocating to death.
"Bring them in!"
At Yang Yu's command, the corpses of his trusted soldiers outside were dragged in. He left the eighteen cavalrymen of Yan Yun to pretend to be his trusted soldiers to guard this place, while he led the rest of the people and continued to assassinate some of the Yellow Turban generals in secret.
The important figures in the army had special privileges. The tents were big and there were people guarding outside. These places became targets for Yang Yu to kill.
When it was almost dawn, Yang Yu finally stopped. After greeting them, everyone used the excuse of going out to scout for information and left calmly.
Before long, the Yellow Turban army was filled with cries of alarm!
"Someone come! General Zhang is dead!"
"Someone come! General Li is dead!"
"Not good, General Wang is also dead!”
"Heavens! Lord Canal Marshal is also dead!"
