On the north bank of the Winding River.
Cheng Chong had already set up a defense line.
This was the calmest place in the Qu River Valley, and it was also the usual ferry crossing.
If the Yellow Turban Army wanted to cross the river to reinforce Guantao, this was the only way!
The 1,000 Divine Arms Battalion members were distributed in an orderly manner, each of them having an adequate amount of bows and arrows.
In this battle, they were undoubtedly the main characters!
Two thousand Thunder Fire Cavalry and two thousand infantry were spread out in the surroundings, ready for battle.
If the Yellow Turban Army was lucky enough to break through the arrow rain of the Divine Arms Battalion and successfully land.
What awaited them was the merciless attacks of the cavalry and infantry.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao dismounted their horses and joined the Divine Arms Battalion.
they all carry big bows on their backs.
The two of them were not only famous cavalry generals, but they also had extraordinary archery skills.
Especially Lu Bu. His archery skills were at the peak of the Three Kingdoms!
In history, Liu Bei and Ji Ling were both shocked by the halberd shot from the Yuanmen!
Therefore, under Cheng Chong's arrangements.
This time, the two of them were going to join the archer unit and launch long-range attacks on the enemy.
"Wenyuan, don't you think the lord is too bold?”
"A mere five thousand people dare to come and stop Guantao and the Yellow Turban Army of one hundred thousand!”
Lu Bu said in a deep voice as he played with the bow in his hand.
Zhang Liao laughed and glanced at Lu Bu.
"Why, Fengxian, are you afraid?”
"Afraid?"
"In my life, there is no such thing as fear!”
"If you ask me, it's precisely following such a daring lord and doing things that the world doesn't dare to do that makes me feel good!”
The two Tiger Generals looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter.
He was not worried about the upcoming battle at all.
They believed in the Divine Arms Battalion, and they believed in Cheng Chong even more!
......
Upstream of the Winding River.
Liu Bei led his troops to set up camp here.
Zhang Fei was a little depressed.
"Big brother, if we stay here, will we have a war to fight?”
Liu Bei shook his head and frowned.
"Naturally, there will be no battles!"
"This action was originally a stupid move! Lu Gong didn't know what had bewitched him, but he actually believed Cheng Wuhui!”
"How can five thousand people stop tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans?”
"Then what do you mean, big brother?" Guan Yu asked thoughtfully.”
Liu Bei did not hesitate.
"Once the defense line of the Qu River is broken, we will put up a symbolic resistance and retreat immediately!”
"Cheng Wuhui is crazy, we can't be crazy!”
"Only by keeping these assets can we make contributions and kill thieves for the country!”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded.
......
Downstream of the Qu River.
This was Gongsun Zan's area.
Behind him were 3,000 elite cavalry.
A white horse, a silver spear, and a white armor. It was like snow!
This was the world-famous White Horse Righteous Follower!
The heavens were the witness, and the white horse was the witness!
Like Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan did not have much confidence in Cheng Chong.
"No return?"
"I hope he's not such a good-for-nothing and can hold on for a few more days!”
"If he can't hold on, then with the mobility of the White Horse Righteous Follower, he should be able to barely hold on for a day or so.”
"Hopefully, this time will be enough for Old Master Lu to take over Quliang City!”
......
Guan Hai led ten thousand Yellow Turban soldiers and left Guantao aggressively.
Following the official road, he charged straight at Quliang!
Zhang Jiao had his own reasons for choosing him as the vanguard.
Among the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai had the highest martial strength and was the bravest.
They would be able to display the might of the Yellow Turban Army by taking the lead!
Half a day later, the army reached the south bank of the Winding River.
"Report!"
The scout flew over and dismounted in front of Guan Hai.
"Canal Marshal!"
"The situation has been investigated. There are about 5,000 government troops on the other side of the river!”
Hearing this, Guan Hai raised his eyebrows and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Five thousand soldiers? Interesting!"
"It looks like these government troops want to use the natural barrier of the river to block our army?”
"Hehe, how stupid! The Winding River is not a big river. The flow of the water is small and the speed of flow is very slow. How can it stop my Yellow Turban army?”
"That's good too. Let's use these stupid government troops as stepping stones for the Path of Peace to rebuild the dynasty!”
Guan Hai suddenly raised his blade and shouted.
"Pass on my order. All troops, get ready. Form groups of three and force your way across the river to kill this group of government troops!”
"Yes, sir!"
The order was quickly passed down.
The Yellow Turban Army quickly began to move.
Team 331 stepped into the Winding River and trudged towards the other side.
In the north bank army.
Cheng Chong looked on quietly, unhurried.
Generally speaking, the effective range of the army's standard bow and arrow was around a hundred steps.
Of course, it was only the range.
Other than those sharpshooters who could shoot from a distance, it was difficult for others to maintain accuracy at such a distance.
However, on the battlefield, it was all rounds of projectiles that formed a coverage attack.
It was just that accuracy was not that important.
Under the protection of the Divine Crane Wing Formation, the Divine Arms Battalion's range was tripled, reaching a terrifying distance of 300 steps!
It was even more powerful than the God Arm Bow!
In fact, the Yellow Turban Army at the forefront had already entered the Divine Arms Battalion's attack range.
But Cheng Chong was not in a hurry.
It was too early to attack.
If Guan Hai discovered that something was wrong, he could order the Yellow Turban Army to withdraw at any time.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the most suitable opportunity.
Once it was activated, the Yellow Turban Army would have no way to retreat!
His ambition was not only to stop this Yellow Turban vanguard, but also to destroy this vanguard army in one go!
