In the year 191 AD, it was June, the middle of summer, and the weather was extremely hot.
Qiao County was located in the Central Plains, and the ground was emitting hot air.
The two parties were confronting each other. The party wearing yellow turbans had more than 20,000 people, but other than a few hundred strong men, most of them were sallow and emaciated. Their clothes could only cover their bodies, and the weapons in their hands were simple. A small number of them were broadswords, longswords, and spears, while most of them were holding farming tools.
Although the other side only had less than 3,000 people, a few of them were wearing armor, while the rest were all wearing armor. Each of them was equipped with a ring-headed saber (the most advanced and most lethal close-range cold weapon in this world).
The Yellow Turban side only had the advantage in numbers.
The generals on the soldiers 'side were obviously very confident in themselves. They did not defend the city but led their troops out of the city to fight head-on.
"He's just a Yellow Turban survivor. I'll destroy him for General Sun.”
"All the soldiers, kill them!"
The silver-armored general held his sword and shouted.
"Kill them!"
The earth-shattering shouts and roars echoed throughout the battlefield.
A large group of people pressed down on the Yellow Turban side.
Seeing all this, the white-robed general's eyes narrowed. He rode his horse to a general wearing a yellow scarf.
"Liu Pi, don't break your promise to me.”
Liu Pi turned his head, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He smiled and said,""A man naturally won't break his promise.”
"As long as you help me break through Qiao County, I will ensure that your family is safe. I will even let you become a general and divide Runan!”
"Forget about dividing Runan. I only ask General Liu to keep his promise.”
The white-robed general tightened the reins in his hand, held a spear in his hand, and rode the white horse forward.
He quickly charged into the army formation and threw a few officers and soldiers into the ranks of the Yellow Turban soldiers, letting them harvest the heads.
"Humph!"
Looking at the white-robed general's back view, Liu Pi's eyes flashed with malice.
In Runan, this white-robed general led his clansmen to resist him. A few hundred local soldiers relied on the village gate to defend, but they actually stopped the attack of his tens of thousands of troops. In the end, it took five days to surround them and take them down.
If it wasn't for the fact that the white-robed general was thinking about the villagers, he might have been able to last even longer.
This time, he was only willing to help attack the city because he threatened his newlywed wife and old mother. However, he did not join in. It was simply despicable.
"Runan belongs to me, Liu Pi. When we return, I'll teach you a lesson.”
Liu Pi had never thought of splitting Runan with others. At most, he would cooperate with Gong Du and his old friends. As for the others who posed a threat, he would definitely kill them.
"Men, charge!"
Liu Pi led his troops and charged forward.
"Gong Du, don't idle around. Charge together!”
"When Chen Shuzhi takes down Han Ming, we'll also be claiming interest on behalf of General Heaven Duke from Sun Jian. Then, we'll march straight in and plunder Qiao County.”
Liu Pi's eyes were filled with killing intent and hatred.
General Heaven Duke was the self-proclaimed title of Zhang Jiao, the initiator of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Liu Pi and Gong were old men who had followed him in the uprising against the imperial court. After the Yellow Turban uprising was suppressed by the imperial court, they led a portion of the Yellow Turban into exile in Runan.
Han Ming was a nobody, but he had a big brother who left his name in history, Han Dang!
Han Dang was one of the future twelve Tiger Ministers of Dong Wu and one of the four generals under Sun Jian. Han Ming, as his brother, also recognized Sun Jian as his master. This time, he came to Qiao County as the special envoy of Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou.
Sun Jian was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou because Yuan Shu wanted to win him over.
But now, Dong Zhuo was in charge of the Imperial Court, and Sun Jian had contributed a lot in the war against Dong Zhuo. He was even recruiting soldiers to continue attacking Luoyang, Si Li, and other places. It could be said that he was fighting to the death with Dong Zhuo.
Although Dong Zhuo had accepted his son-in-law Li Ru's suggestion to enfeoff the dukes and let them attack each other, he was extremely disgusted with Sun Jian.
Therefore, although Sun Jian claimed to be the governor of Yuzhou and used Yingchuan Yangcheng as the temporary office of the governor, it was not legitimate. Many people were not convinced, such as Zhang Mu.
Sun Jian had shown his brilliance during the Yellow Turban uprising and was regarded as a thorn in Liu Pi's and Gong's side. They were also extremely hostile to Han Ming!
"Thud ~"
"Kill them!"
The two sides quickly met up.
Although the officers and soldiers were few in number, they acted in an orderly manner. Coupled with the advantage of weapons, they began to suppress the Yellow Turban Army one-sidedly.
Although the Yellow Turban Army had a large number of people, the officers and soldiers stood guard in groups of four. The surrounding space was limited, and they could not exert their advantage at all. Many attacks were even more ineffective.
"Rip ~"
As time passed, the soldiers became more and more excited as they killed. More and more Gold Rank were killed.
The momentum of the Yellow Turban side was greatly reduced.
"Sh * t!"
The white-robed general at the front turned his wrist and stabbed another soldier with his spear. His gaze swept across the surroundings, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Although he was brave, he could not withstand the large number of soldiers. Once he was surrounded by a large group of soldiers, he would be pierced into a sieve.
He was confident that he could rely on riding to escape, but there were still tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, He Yi, Huang Shao, and others left behind by Liu Pi in Runan. If he escaped, his old mother and newlywed wife would definitely be in trouble.
"Soldiers, continue to kill. If you can cut off Liu Pi and Gong Du's heads, you will be promoted by three ranks!”
Suddenly, a battle cry entered the white-robed general's ears.
He looked to the right and saw Han Ming riding a big horse. At this moment, he was really holding a long knife and constantly hacking at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were being chased.
"Capture the thief and capture the king!"
When the white-robed general saw this, he gritted his teeth and revealed a ferocious look.
He would die if he risked his life, but he couldn't escape.
For his family, he would win this battle.
"Thud ~"
The white-robed general rode his horse back for a distance. Then, he brought the bow on his back to his front, took out a bow from the quiver, and nocked it on the bowstring.
"Swish ~~"
The bow and arrow flew out, cutting through the air and flying towards Han Ming like a meteor.
"Hmm?"
Han Ming was also a veteran on the battlefield. He instinctively sensed the threat. He looked up and saw the sharp arrow flying towards him. His pupils constricted.
At the critical moment, his survival instinct urged him to turn his body to the side.
However, the arrow came too quickly. He dodged in a hurry and only made the arrow deviate from his heart to his shoulder blade.
"Puchi ~"
The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.
The white-robed general's arrow was so powerful that it pierced through Han Ming's shoulder blade.
The excruciating pain caused Han Ming to instinctively scream in pain.
The white-robed general looked at all of this and his mind became even calmer. His eyes were filled with endless killing intent.
He wasn't disappointed that he didn't kill the general with a single arrow.
There was still the second and third arrow!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two more air-piercing sounds rang out.
The second arrow was aimed at Han Ming's throat, and the third arrow was aimed at his heart.
Two arrows arrived in an instant.
Han Ming's tiger eyes were wide open, his hair and beard fluttering in the wind, and his face was filled with fear.
He used almost all his strength to tilt his head and dodge the arrow that was aimed at his throat.
However, after doing all this, he no longer had the strength to dodge the third arrow.
"Thud ~"
The sword pierced through his heart.
"Impressive!"
Zhang Mu, who was in the dense forest, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this.
"As expected of Chen Dao, Uncle Chen!"
